Chapter 31 After eating
The Liang family carefully served Chu Yuanshan, "but there were hateful people in the previous dynasty who had bad intentions towards the Chu family, which made the master angry."
Chu Yuanshan put the bowl heavily on the table. "The slaves in the house don't know how to restrain, which attracted Qin Yongzhong to catch me, render me, and impeach them. Fortunately, I have secretly made some points. I have ordered the whole house to make trouble outside under the signboard of the Duke of Dingguo. Who knows that these dog slaves don't take my words. It's a thing."
"Sir, there are disobedient slaves. If you call out, you don't have to be angry about some bastards."
The lady panicked. In order to help her son Chu Zhiyongmou private property, she secretly ordered me to go out and fight. She was caught by Qin Yongzhong and caused trouble. Fortunately, those slaves knew their proportions and took down the disaster. They dared not pull out her mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, she was afraid that the master would also annoy her.
"The master is upright, sitting upright, and sincerely working for the emperor. I forgive those lifeless things that can't do anything to the master."
"This time's thing is not that simple. On the day the emperor gave Ruoxi marriage, he collided with the bodyguard in the Yipin Building and quarreled a few words. Later, the man was caught up to revenge, and the person who retaliated against him accidentally exposed his identity. He was the person of the Duke of Dingguo."
"That man is so bold. Don't you know that the guard in the house went to pick up the crown princess? It's so rude." The wife pretended not to know anything about the world, so she was ignorant. "As soon as Ruoxi was married by the emperor, she let people do this. She was not angry, and it was reasonable to find someone to teach the lifeless thing."
"Madam, why are you so confused?" Chu Yuanshan glaned over unhappily, "Do you know who he is? It's Zhao Qing'an, the border general summoned by the emperor to return to Beijing."
"It's just a small general, and even the newly appointed crown princess doesn't pay attention to it. Even if the crown princess is young and doesn't go to the court, doesn't the name of the prince of the country work?"
Madam has the intention to say bad Chu Ruoxi in front of Chu Yuanshan, but it seems that the general is not measured.
Chu Yuanshan shook his head, "This is not a problem of Zhao Qing'an's officials. He is the person the prince like. This time, it is the prince's intention to call him back to Beijing."
"Ah, so, Ruoxi accidentally offended the prince. Does the prince know about this?" Madam exclaimed.
"Why are you so indistinguishable today? Why is this matter related to Ruoxi? Ordinary people are rude to me and have been taught a lesson by the slaves. But this time it's different. The prince is now dissatisfied with my Chu family. At present, the emperor is not safe and the current situation is unstable. The Chu family must not make more changes at this time."
"Is the emperor's dragon body not safe?"
Although there have been rumors about this in the palace, and the emperor was addicted to wine and sex, and did not care so much about the affairs of the court, today's master said it himself, which still made her heart jump.
"The emperor's dragon is not feeling well, and the prince called the border guards back to Beijing. Is there any change in the personnel of the capital?"
"In the case of Qin Yongzhong, the prince seemed to be afraid of my Chu family and began to secretly arrange his people to intervene in the court, which has the intention of seizing power."
"Isn't the prince the master's nephew? The Empress is even the master's sister. Can't the prince trust such a close person?
Chu Yuanshan's eyebrows bulged slightly when he heard the words and said nothing.
Madam didn't dare to interrupt any more. For a long time, Chu Yuanshan said, "There is no difference between relatives. The Duke of Dingguo has never been surnamed Yang."
The emperor's heart is unfathomable, just like the current Yongle Emperor. Although he trusts him on the surface and likes beauty more than court affairs, Chu Yuanshan can sometimes feel that Yongle Emperor is not as bad as he saw, but he can't say what's wrong.
The world of Dazhou was captured by Yang Zicheng, a great minister of Qi who held heavy troops and was powerful in those years, from the emperor of Daqi. Now the emperor of Dazhou is inevitably afraid of him, Chu Yuanshan.
In order to eliminate the emperor's uneasiness and suspicion, the Chu family did not directly control other troops except for their second son Chu Zhihuai, who led 100,000 military households to guard the border city in southern Xinjiang. These 100,000 military households were also Chu Yuanshan who dared not hand them over to the emperor in order to protect themselves.
When the wife heard the words, her eyes dimmed. For the sake of her wealth, she told Chu Yuanshan about her niece. "The master is loyal to the emperor, and the emperor's eyes are as wise as pearls. You will not know it. Please be relieved. At present, there is something that you dare not decide without authorization. Please make a decision."
"What needs to be so euphemistic? If it's about the inner courtyard of the house, it's fine for your wife to look at it."
"My miserable distant cousin. In those years, she married Lin Zheng'an, the general of Dezhou, southern Xinjiang, and I didn't want to visit her."
The lady's nose was sore, and her eyes turned red. She got up and became a blessing to Chu Yuanshan. "My cousin left the New Year. Lin Zheng'an went out of the city to suppress the bandits and unfortunately was hit by the poisoned arrow of the bandits and died. Poorly left her young daughter Shuangqing, who was helpless. Although her mother's family could go, she was afraid of fading her family affection for so many years, so..."
The Duke of Dingguo is a powerful man in the world, and naturally there are many relatives everywhere. Chu Yuanshan has no impression of his wife's distant relatives. Seeing that it was an orphan girl, he also felt pity.
"Lin Zheng'an died for the country, and his young daughter has nothing to rely on. It's also reasonable to defect to his aunt. Just take one more daughter and let someone come to the house for good living and resettlement."
Liang was overjoyed. His daughter was still young and could not attract the prince for a while. His niece Lin Shuangqing was extremely attractive and looked noble. As long as she was well cultivated, ** the prince would not be easy.
The dust of Qin Yongzhong's case was settled, and the storm gradually subsided. Unexpectedly, Guo Zhongcheng, the imperial historian of Zuodu, was told that Qin Yongzhong was wronged and accused him of not distinguishing between right from wrong and listening to slander, so that his loyal ministers died in vain.
Emperor Yongle was furious when he heard the words and sent Guo Zhongcheng to prison. Regardless of men, women and children, they were all killed in the first volume.
The prison of Shuntian Mansion is dark, sour, and full of the smell of death.
At the end of the long alley of the dungeon, it is the place where the female prisoners are detained. There are four windowless walls, and the woman sent to the tomb of the living dead will be isolated from the world.
The candlelight swaying on the wooden table where the prisoner drank in the cloister of the cell penetrated a faint halo into the dark black hole through the cracks in the closed cell door.
In the darkness, under the halo that penetrated into the room, the suddenly extinguished fire reflected a white face, and the light in the star eyes also jumped up. Two black lights flashed like a meteor inadvertently, and there was deep despair on the face.
"Who is it?"
The prisoners detained on both sides of the long alley were shocked by several people who suddenly entered the dungeon. The sound shocked the jailers guarding outside, and the four slowly got up.
Guo Wanyi's pale face, the only angry eyes flashed: Who can freely enter this Shuntianfu death row where ghosts can't even get in? Is the traitor going to poison the Guo family?
"Open the door."
The cold words are like this dark cage, which makes people feel gloomy and terrible.
"What are you still doing? Open the lock quickly." The prisoner stood grovely on the side of a man of unknown origin but exuded a forceful popularity and shouted softly at the jailer.
The jailer was scared by the man's momentum and his hands trembled. He took out the key to open the door. "Yes, yes."
The door of the death row prison was pushed open, and a smell of acid and corruption came to his face. In addition to Guo Wanyi, there were also two concubines of her mother Zhou and Guo Zhongcheng and three common daughters.
The chain kept ringing, and several women screamed repeatedly. They didn't know how the people who came would deal with them. They were all scared.
The leading man frowned slightly and saw Guo Wanyi, who was pale and embarrassed. There was panic in her eyes, but she was not as gaffe as other women. Her cold and arrogant eyes stared at the people outside the door with unspeakable hatred. He was stunned before he walked in.
"Are the wives and daughters of Guo Zhongcheng, the man of the great sin, here?" His eyes glanced at Guo Wanyi intentionally or unintentionally and asked the jailer behind him.
"If you go back to adulthood, it's all here. They are death row prisoners, small..."
"Broad meal in, half a column of incense, and do business after eating."
Guo Wanyi's Tears came out of her eyes and looked at the bowl of rice in her hand. Her heart was sad and indignant. Her father was upright and loyal to the king. She did not want to defect to Chu's traitors. She was framed and fell to a whole family. I only hate today's saints' fainting, treacherous ministers playing with power, poor fathers, brothers and younger brothers...
"Your Majesty's reward, don't be ignorant. Eat quickly. Don't complain that you don't have enough to go on your way. Why cry? Can crying be eaten as a meal?"
"I don't want to die, mother... mother... we don't want to die."
"Lorr...woo..."
“......”
Guo Wanyi looked at several aunts and sisters who were crying together, and her mother curled up sadly, crying, and kept sobbing and calling her father. In the end, she came from a large family. Even if she was sad, she would not lose her temper like her aunt.
Her heart ached, and she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and sent them to her mother's hand. "Mom... The traitor is in charge, and she doesn't know what happened to her father and brother. Maybe..." She guessed that her father, brother and others had suffered. "Wanyi will be the daughter of her parents in the next life..."
"Wanyi..."
She couldn't look directly at her mother's sadness. Guo Wanyi suddenly turned her head and looked into the man's eyes. Knowing that he was just a running dog, she still couldn't help venting her resentment on him. She stared at him with ice eyes and said coldly, "Evil retribution, traitor, there will never be a good end."
The man's eyebrows jumped, as if he hadn't heard her words, and indifferently glanced at other women in the prison who had already lost their temper, thinking that they could not die without eating.
Guo Wanyi didn't want to be a starving ghost. As soon as she put down her bowls and chopsticks, the man's voice came, "It's almost done. Guo Zhongcheng's nonsense. The crime is extremely heinous. The whole family is beheaded, the saint is kind, Nian'er and other women's family, give Bai Ling, and leave the whole body."
When
As soon as he finished his words, the bowl in Guo Wanyi's sisters fell to the ground, and the youngest sister fainted on one side.
He seemed to be accustomed to it. He waved his hand to the entourage, and several people entered the room. He was not soft on the women in prison.
"No..."
The man behind her strangled her voice, and the feeling of suffocation invaded her body and mind. The sound of chains in her hands gradually calmed down. Before her thoughts drifted away, her hazy eyes seemed to see a slightly raised arc, and the leading man showed a seductive smile on the corners of his mouth.
