The summer sun is so big that the yard is planted with many leafy trees, and the sunlight shines down from the dense layers of branches and leaves, and the ground is printed with sparkling spots the size of copper coins.
The courtyard knew a cry, adding a little irritability to this hot summer day, fortunately, there were several large basins of ice in the house, and the slightest coolness filled the house, but it dispelled a lot of heat.
Soon after returning to the capital, Yanshu came to pingyang Chang princess mansion to meet his friend Huirou County.
Hui Rou lazily forked a small piece of watermelon and ate it there, while telling Yan Shu about the many interesting things that happened in the capital during the time she left Beijing.
Hui Rou smiled and said, "I heard that the An family divorced and married another wife, and after marrying Miss Meng Family, I thought that I had married a fairy of noble birth and came back, but I didn't expect to marry a powerful, angry Lady An Da who couldn't eat all day." ”
Yan Shu was curious: "Then what kind of powerful Fa is Miss Meng Jia?" ”
Hui Rou put down the watermelon in her hand and said excitedly: "In the early years, Lady An Da took care of her daughter-in-law, and in the name of her son, she gave Young Master An a lot of concubines, and one of them was still her mother's cousin niece, and Lady An was distressed about her cousin, so she carried her into the palace in the name of a noble concubine." ”
Yan Shu frowned: "Concubines are concubines, and what noble concubines, if you really feel sorry for that cousin, you should find a good family to let her marry and be the head of the house, instead of letting her enter the house as a concubine." ”
Hui Rou agreed: "Who said it wasn't?" I think Mrs. Naan just wanted to find someone to take over her son, so that her son wouldn't be robbed by her daughter-in-law. ”
In the house, there is not only a cousin of the mother-in-law as a concubine, but also a mother-in-law who is not easy to deal with, plus a foolish and cowardly husband, Miss Yao's life was indeed not good.
Yan Shu asked what happened next: "And then?" What happened to a noble concubine? ”
Hui Rou said with some anger, "When that noble concubine was there, Lady An didn't give Yao Fangzhi a bitter meal, and every time Young Master An accompanied Yao Fangzhi, she let people say that she hurt that hurt and snatched people away." Not only did she rob people, she also overtly and secretly grabbed what should have been Yao Fangzhi, the lady of the main room. ”
Hui Rou became more and more angry the more she said, and turned to smile again: "However, later, after this Miss Meng entered the door, it was really very different." ”
"Miss Meng is a concubine, and she has been pampered by her family since she was a child, if it were not for her bad temper, like her mother, Lady Meng, with her family lineage, I am afraid that she would not have married into the an family."
Lady Meng's temper, Yan Shu heard a little, heard that it is a very powerful, married to Meng Daren for many years, do not allow Meng Daren to take concubines, do not allow Meng Daren to go to the land of fireworks willow lanes, and manage Meng Daren to death.
Miss Meng Xiaomu should also be a very powerful one.
"What's more!" Speaking of this, Hui Rou stood up from the bed excitedly, "Saying that she has twenty points, Miss Meng was born in Mrs. Meng's thirties, that is to take care of her liver, if the stars will not give the moon, if the moon will not give the stars, this also developed Miss Meng's powerful nature." ”
After Miss Meng married into the An family, the noble concubine originally wanted to rob people and grab things from the hands of the right wife as before, but unexpectedly, Miss Meng let people give her a board as soon as she came. It is a great sin to say that there is no distinction between wives and concubines, and to confront the master's mother. ”
"But mrs. Ann's cousin was beaten, and Mrs. Ann didn't dare to speak?"
Hui Rou laughed very much: "Why don't you say it?" As soon as she opened her mouth, she was blocked by Miss Meng's three words and two words, and Mrs. Ann was dumbfounded. ”
Not only that, but within two months of becoming a relative, Miss Meng sold the concubines in Young Master An's backyard and sold them, and when they matched, only the concubine who could not be sold was left.
However, she couldn't turn over any storms when she stayed, and she heard that the noble concubine didn't know what she had eaten wrong, her face was full of red pox, and her whole face had been destroyed, and she would never look as delicate again. Without beauty, what does she fight for?
Mrs. An was not convinced, and wanted to fight for breath, but who let Miss Meng come from a good background, the mother's family gave strength, Young Master An and Old Master An still had to rely on Lord Meng, there was no way, Mrs. An had to be honest.
Today's An Fu is already the master of the powerful Miss Meng Family. ”
After listening to this trivial matter that is comparable to the drama folding of the family house, Yan Shu couldn't help but sigh: "This Miss Meng, but she is really a powerful person!" ”
Hui Rou smiled lightly, which was considered to be approval, at this time, Hui Rou's magpie walked in, holding a booklet in his hand, just about to speak, Hui Rou waved his hand, somewhat impatiently said: "Take it away, I don't look at this Rausch, you dispose of it at will." ”
The magpie was helpless, "County Lord, this is sent by the eldest princess, and she said that you must see it, and the slave maid does not dare to dispose of it at will." ”
Yan Shu was strange, what kind of thing could make Hui Rou so impatient, she reached over and took it, "I'll see what it is that can make you so irritable." ”
Looking at it, the above list is all the children of the right age in the capital who have not yet started a family, and the family interests and hobbies are written in great detail, and they are also thoughtfully accompanied by portraits on the side.
Yan Shu looked at it, what else did not understand, Hui Rou has now reached marriageable age, and it is also reasonable for the eldest princess to worry about her daughter's marriage.
It's just that Yan Shu looks at Hui Rou so much that he doesn't even want to look at it, does he not want to become a parent? Or is there already someone in mind?
She tried to speak: "I look at the people selected by the eldest princess, all of them are good, why don't you look at it, maybe there is one that suits your heart." ”
Hui Rou skimmed her lips, "What good can it be?" Left is just some wine bags and rice bags, so I can't look at them! ”
"No," Yan Shu flipped through the book, pointing to a person above, "that Wen Yuanbo's son heard that he was a rare talent, not an embroidered pillow." ”
Yan Shuhui smiled and said, "Oh--isn't it hard, you have already seen some excellent erlang, so you will dislike these people?" ”
Hui Rou was silent, Yan Shu pestered her to say it, Hui Rou was even more silent, only in her heart is not I don't want to say, is it difficult for me to tell you, I am looking for your brother, I don't want to be your friend, I want to be your sister-in-law?
Unable to say this heartfelt word, Hui Rou quickly changed the topic and talked about His Majesty's choice of a wife for Xiao Chang.
Since His Majesty had already released the news that he wanted to marry Xiao Chang, naturally he would not just talk about it casually.
He deliberately found the empress, handed the matter to her, and instructed her to choose carefully, her majesty had an order, the queen naturally did not dare not follow, after returning to the palace, she let the palace women around her bring the list of all the unmarried noblewomen in the capital.
Xiao Chang had a special status, she was the adopted son of His Majesty and the Empress, and his wife must be a famous and noblewoman with both talents and good looks.
The Empress did take a lot of effort to choose three final candidates among countless noblewomen.
Although Her Majesty asked her to prepare for this matter, she did not dare to act arbitrarily, saying that whoever was who was, and could only select a few suitable candidates first, and then leave it to His Majesty to make the final decision.
Of the three candidates, one was the daughter of the Duke of Chu, seventeen years old.
One was the sister of the Great General of the Hussars, at the age of eighteen.
There is also the daughter of Guanglu Temple Qing, who is seventeen years old.
Of the three candidates, some were hereditary nobles, some military attachés in charge of military power, and some civilian officials in the court, depending on what kind of family His Majesty would choose for Xiao Chang in the end.
This incident can be regarded as diverting Yan Shu's mind, and she was preoccupied with guessing which one His Majesty would choose for Xiao Chang to be his wife, and Hui Rou breathed a long sigh in her heart.
2
One day, the weather was good, Xiao Chang and Pei Jieming met in a quiet tea house.
The tea room was very quiet, only Pei Jieming and Xiao Chang were there, and the people were guarding outside, not letting anyone get close.
Xiao Chang sat upright, his face slightly dull, silent.
Pei Jieming sat across from him and watched him, while reaching out to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Chang and pushing it in front of him, he asked, "But Your Majesty has decided on the final candidate?" ”
Xiao Chang took the teacup, took a sip, and nodded, "It is the daughter of the Duke of Chu, Chu Yanran." ”
Pei Jieming quickly thought about the information about the Duke of Chu in his mind, and said clearly: "It is difficult for the Empress and Your Majesty to choose such a family affair for you." ”
The Chu State Duke lineage is famous, in the Great Zhou is a famous noble family, when the great Zhou ancestors fought in the Jiangshan, the Chu family made a lot of efforts, the ancestors of the Jiangshan were stable after the merits were rewarded, and the title of Chu Family Chu State Duke was sealed, and after several years, it was hereditary.
The reason why the Chu family has endured for a long time is because the Chu family has always been wise to protect themselves, easily do not participate in party struggles, and will not be too involved in power. In the final analysis, the Chu State is the supremacy of only imperial power, and whoever becomes the emperor will be loyal to whom.
At such a juncture, His Majesty suddenly pointed out to Xiao Chang the daughter of the Duke of Chu as his wife, which really made people think more.
Xiao Chang shook his head, "I didn't expect this candidate, you know, Your Majesty has always favored The Noble Concubine Zheng, and even loved my half-brother." ”
Pei Jieming said, "Your Majesty loves Concubine Zheng Guifei again, and it is a fact that Concubine Zheng Guifei is childless, not to mention that the King of Dongping County is only six years old this year." ”
Xiao Xu is too young, if His Majesty really makes him a reserve, it is a big taboo for the Lord to be suspicious of the country, not to mention that Xiao Xu has the Zheng family behind him, and the Zheng family has been fighting zheng guifei for wrongdoing in recent years, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the DPRK.
Xiao Chang remembered some of the things he heard after returning to Beijing, and laughed, "My stepmother really wants her son to have a good future." ”
Xiao Chang's stepmother, Princess Qin, made good friends with Concubine Zheng, and Pei Jieming also heard a lot after returning to Beijing.
Princess Qin not only befriended Princess Zheng Guifei, but also befriended many noble female relatives in the capital, and the families behind those noble female dependents were all friendly with the Zheng family and secretly supported Xiao Xu, the king of Dongping County.
Nowadays, Princess Qin has to go to the palace at least four times a month, and every few days she has to enter the palace, and every time she enters the palace, she does not go to the empress, but goes straight to the palace of the noble concubine, and each time she has to stay in it for at least several hours.
Her son was raised at the knee of a noble concubine, occupying the name of one of His Majesty's adopted sons, and what kind of idea she played was clearly visible to the discerning people.
Xiao Chang sneered, "Since there is that possibility, why wouldn't she want to fight for it?" Perhaps, in exchange for this time, in exchange for a great future, then she will be the birth mother of the crown prince. ”
Pei Jieming analyzed: "She thought it was simple, if the king of Dongping County really became the crown prince, I don't know if the Zheng family and Zheng Guifei would allow her to be the birth mother of the crown prince." ”
Xiao Chang looked up at the window: "Maybe Concubine Zheng Guifei promised them some benefits?" Otherwise, would she be willing to give up her son who was conceived in October and become someone else's adopted son? ”
Pei Jieming nodded in agreement, and Xiao Chang didn't have the heart to mention the matter of the Qin King's Mansion again, so he turned his head: "Do you remember the original Cheng'an County Commander Peng Feng?" ”
"Why don't you remember," Pei Jieming said with a smile, "at that time, we borrowed the Cheng'an Inn, and his son Peng Peng still wanted to extort a sum of money from the innkeeper. ”
"Peng Peng used the Cheng'an Inn Bridge to extort merchants and rich people, and he has always been at peace with each other, and gradually his appetite has become bigger and bigger, from the original one hundred and two thousand taels, and later developed into tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Xiao Chang laughed: "Who knew that he had too much appetite, wanted too much, and provoked the dissatisfaction of those rich people, it just so happened that there were some forces behind a rich man, and in a fit of anger, those rich people jointly signed a letter accusing Peng Feng of conniving at his son's identity as a county order, extorting money from the merchants and rich people who passed by, and extorting hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
This matter has reached the capital, Peng Feng peng peng have been escorted to the Dali Temple, the matter is too big, the Zheng family behind them do not dare to come forward to protect them, I heard that Peng Pengqiu has been sentenced to be beheaded, Peng Feng dismissed from his post and exiled. ”
Pei Jieming took a sip of hot tea and said, "I heard that Peng Peng is Peng Feng's only son, or an old son, who has always been in pain like his own life, and his son is about to be beheaded, so Peng Feng can endure it as a father and son?" ”
Xiao Chang smiled lightly, "Of course, I can't bear it, I heard the people of Dali Temple say that Peng Feng shouted in prison every day, saying that he was willing to behead his son, as long as His Majesty spared his son and left the last bit of incense for his Peng family." ”
"Peng Feng loves his son with a heart, he really sacrifices himself for his son, he really hears tears, the most bitter thing in the world is that the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and we can't let an old father suffer like this."
Pei Jieming and Xiao Chang looked at each other and smiled, both understood each other's meaning, and everything was in silence.

The weather was just right and sunny.
Pei Jieming accompanied Yan Shu out of the house by buying jewelry and clothes, and after visiting several shops, he went to a house not far from Yao Fangzhi's shop.
This house was exactly where Yao Qianqing took refuge when he was in the capital.
Yan Shu hadn't seen Yao Qianqing for a long time, so he thought of coming to visit her, but he didn't expect that not long after the couple arrived, Xiao Chang actually came.
Just at this time, someone came to report something to Yao Qianqing, and Yao Qianqing gestured to Xiao Chang, "Your Highness." Then he bowed his head again and went to do his own business.
She's been very busy lately. Yao Fangzhi has moved out since she left the An family and left, because the Yao family has long been sealed by the government, she has nowhere to go, as for the snobbish relatives of the Yao family, it is estimated that they will only worry about the money in her hands, and she is not willing to go to it.
Fortunately, her dowry was still quite rich, at that time and when she left, there was the main town of Huirou County, and the An family did not dare to swallow her dowry privately, so she had to obediently take it out, so she also had a lot of money in her hand. So when Hui Rou asked her what her plans were for the future, she thought about it and said that she wanted to open a shop by herself. 、
Soon after the marriage, her mother's family was raided, and her husband spoiled the concubine and destroyed his wife, and she resolutely and divorced with a rich dowry
The shop specializes in women's business, selling gold and silver jewelry, selling silk and silk, etc., and is open in the bustling part of the capital.
However, she did not personally come forward in the store, and invited a reliable treasurer to be responsible for the affairs of the store in front, and she was responsible for handling the affairs behind the scenes, and the average person did not know that she was the owner behind her.
Yao Fangzhi has a unique vision, the jewelry and clothes she selects are novel and good-looking, and the treasurer she invited is also a capable, diligent and earnest in the store, and it didn't take long for Yao Fangzhi's shop business to get better and better.
As soon as the business is good, people are busier, Yao Fangzhi alone can't be busy, just at this time Yao Qianqing returned to Beijing, so he went to help his sister.
I have to say that once everyone was a lady, learned to manage the housekeeper, this pair of Yao sisters to start a business is also handy, Yao Fangzhi has Qianqing as a helper, this business is thriving.
Yan Shu saw that Yao Qianqing was busy all day and all night these days, but she seemed to be happy in it, knowing that she had found something to do, enriched a lot, and she was happy for Yao Qianqing in her heart.
Yan Shu and Pei Jieming had long known that Yao Qianqing had been busy with Yao Fangzhi's business recently, and they were accustomed to seeing her busy appearance now.
But Xiao Chang had been summoned by His Majesty since he returned to Beijing, and he had to help His Majesty handle government affairs, this was the first time he had seen Yao Qianqing like this, and seeing her was only a slight gesture to herself, which was very rare, but she was stunned.
He pretended to be unintentional: "What has The Qianqing girl been busy with lately?" You are rarely seen. ”
Yan Shu smiled and explained for QianQing: "Miss Yao opened a shop, the business is too good, Qianqing is now helping Miss Yao." ”
Xiao Chang took a deep look at Yao Qianqing and said, "No wonder." ”
Yan Shu said amusingly, "Why did Your Highness happen to be here today?" Shouldn't His Highness be very busy lately? ”
Xiao Chang touched his nose and explained, "I was thinking that Yao Girl, a woman in the capital, wanted to come to have more inconveniences, so I wanted to come and see, but what do I need help?" Unexpectedly, Aunt Yao was now a very busy person. ”
At this time, Yao Qianqing just got out of the trivial matter, looked up and smiled, and said: "Your Highness said that I am a very busy person, and I think Your Highness is a very busy person." ”
Xiao Chang grinned, unfolded the folding fan in his hand and shook it, leaned on the shelf next to him, and said slowly, "It's okay." ”
Yao Qianqing stepped out from behind the counter, bent down to salute, and said in a warm voice: "I heard that Your Highness will soon get married, Qianqing is here, congratulations to Your Highness." ”
Xiao Chang was still smiling originally, but when he heard her words, the smile on his face also faded a lot, and he put away the fan and said lightly: "It's just Your Majesty's will." ”
"I have already heard that Your Majesty has decreed that she is the daughter of the Duke of Chu." Yao Qianqing walked over to Yan Shu and sat down, and continued, "When the Yao family was not yet in trouble, I attended the banquet of the noble ladies in the capital, and I also had several encounters with this Miss Chu. Miss Chu is good-looking, gentle and generous, friendly, and a very good girl, and Her Highness can rest assured. ”
Xiao Chang didn't speak again, just caring about opening and closing the fan there, tossing his own fan.
Pei Jieming knows that he is his good friend, never willing to be manipulated, he likes freedom, has always been to do whatever he wants, unrestrained, dashing.
He had asked him before about marrying his wife, what he had said at the time, and yes, he said, "I don't have the heart to do this." ”
He didn't want to marry because the person he wanted to marry was no longer with him, and now he hadn't been able to meet the second person he wanted to marry.
Unfortunately, the emperor's order could not be violated, His Majesty had already spoken, and the candidate had been decided, and even if he did not want to, he could not not marry.
It is precisely because of this that he does not care about this marriage and is reluctant to mention it more.
Everything that should be done was left to others, and he didn't even want to listen to it himself, so he begged the queen and she did it by herself.
Pei Ming knew that he was unhappy because he could not control his own life and marriage, but Yao Qianqing did not know, she thought that Xiao Chang was still unwilling to marry Chu Yanran because she could not let go of Gao Xiaoying.
Thinking about this, Yao Qianqing's eyes drooped and she smiled bitterly in her heart, Xiao Chang was really unforgettable for Gao Xiaoying. She slowly squeezed the veil in her hand, and warned herself in her heart, if this was the case, why should she be obsessed with such a man who had someone else in her heart.
Xiao Chang did not speak, obviously unwilling to mention his marriage again, Pei Jieming changed the subject: "You came this time, but there is a serious matter?" ”
Xiao Chang nodded, "Find a safe place to talk about it." ”
Yao Qianqing then said, "Then come to the backyard, there are people guarding, and no one can easily enter." ”
The group came to the backyard, found a quiet room to enter, and Guan Yan and the others were guarding the door.
After Xiao Chang entered, he said, "Last night, my people found that a group of people and horses entered the city gate at night, and after Shuang Rui's investigation, he found that the group of people and horses was actually related to the Zheng family." ”
Pei Jieming furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "The Zheng family? What name did the team come in? ”
Xiao Chang shook his head, "On the surface, it is just an ordinary caravan, there is nothing suspicious about it, shuangrui they can find it, or because later the caravan came into contact with another team of people not long after entering the city, and then the later team took over their caravan's things." Coincidentally, the leader of the team behind was the Zheng family. ”
Yan Shu asked, "What goods did the caravan bring into the city?" ”
Xiao Chang: "Strange to say, what they sent in was not anything special, but loquat." ”
loquat? Is it as simple as a loquat that the Zheng family let people send in? Now that His Majesty is seriously ill and the situation in the capital is tense, not to mention that Zheng Guifei is still suspected of drugging and murdering His Majesty, the Zheng family's every move will not be so simple.
Also, I always feel that loquat is a bit familiar, and I feel that I have heard about it somewhere.
Suddenly, Yan Shu remembered that when she was chatting with the female relatives at the banquet a few days ago, she had heard that Concubine Zheng Guifei liked to eat loquat, and when the loquat was ripe, she would always let people buy fresh loquat from outside the palace in large quantities, not only that, but also let people make loquat paste for her to eat.
His Majesty spoiled her, and specially ordered that any loquat that any loquat that was paid tribute to the palace would be sent to Zheng Guifei first, and if Rao was so, Zheng Guifei would still order someone to go out of the palace to buy it.
Pei Jieming and Xiao Chang were still discussing the use of the loquat that the Zheng family wanted, and YanShu reminded: "I heard that Zheng Guifei likes to eat loquat, but it is good loquat paste, will the loquat brought in by this caravan be bought from outside Beijing for the sake of guifei?" ”
"Noble concubines like loquat?" Xiao Chang repeated this sentence, nodded, and said, "I have indeed heard about it in the palace, and it is because noble concubines like to eat loquat, and the people have followed it a lot, so the price of loquat has soared, which is several times that of the past." ”
Pei Jieming wondered, "Is the Zheng family really that simple, just to offer loquat to the noble concubine?" But why not go into town during the day, but at night? Isn't it just a coincidence? ”
Yao Qianqing had been thinking alone since she heard that Guifei liked to eat loquat, and then she said, "According to medical books, fresh loquat leaves and loquat nuclei are poisonous. ”
"Do you suspect that the Zheng family is poisoning?" Yan Shu frowned and said, "It's not right, even if the loquat core and loquat leaves are poisonous, then the one who eats the loquat is also the noble concubine, and the noble concubine eats the loquat flesh, and the Zheng family can't always poison the noble concubine, right?" ”
"Yes." Yao Qianqing nodded, "It is the noble concubine who eats the loquat, not Your Majesty, and even if the loquat is poisonous, there are also special food collectors in the palace, and they will never let Concubine Zheng and Your Majesty eat it by mistake." ”
Pei Jieming had a bold guess at this time: "But what if Concubine Zheng Guifei intends to let Your Majesty take it?" ”
Xiao Chang heard the words, his face instantly sank, he straightened up Fang Cai's still casual body, his fingers unconsciously tapping the tabletop, making one slight sound after another.
"Even if it is clearly stated, it is not unreasonable, Your Majesty's serious illness this time is very strange, the hospital can not find out the reason for a long time, and it is difficult to say that it is not because someone is operating behind the scenes."
Pei Jieming asked Xiao Chang, "How has Your Majesty's health been lately?" ”
Pei Jieming sighed and said, "It's not the same old way, the hospital can't find out the reason, only to say that Your Majesty is injured and needs to recuperate well, but the piles of soup medicine are sent in, and I don't see any improvement in Your Majesty's body." ”
Yao Qianqing exclaimed in a low voice, "Is it difficult to become a noble concubine?" ”
"It's hard to say," Xiao Chang shook his head, "but the matter has come to an end, and it is urgent to overturn the case for the Yao family." ”

June 20th, the sky is clear, the wind is harmonious, it is a good day.
The guards and officials on duty outside the palace gate were honestly guarding their posts, who knew that there was a sudden noise outside, and when they went out to see, there were people outside, trying to beat the drum.
There were already a lot of people outside, and at this time they were all in a circle, looking at the woman in the middle.
The woman is thinly dressed, thin and weak, plain clothes are weak, but her face is tough, not to be underestimated, and it is Yao Qianqing.
Only to see Yao Qianqing su beating the drum with his hand, word by word, his face was firm, and his expression was resolute: "Yao Qianqing, the daughter of the people, knocked on this Dengwen drum today, there is a grievance to play Your Majesty!" ”
"The people's daughter sued the current Shang Shu Zheng Guangyao for tying up with the party for personal gain, colluding with Peng Feng of Cheng'an County, and several local county officials, embezzling and accepting bribes, using public interest for personal gain, embezzling countless amounts of silver, and even suing the Zheng family, in order to suppress the Yao family at that time, did not hesitate to put the charge of forming a party for personal gain on the Yao family, so that Yao Taifu died tragically and the Yao family was exiled as slaves."
As soon as these words came out, the people who were watching the drama around them all talked about the family of the noble concubines of the dynasty, and the officials who specially guarded the Dengwen Drum did not dare to hesitate and immediately entered the palace to report to His Majesty.
However, it just so happened that His Majesty had just taken the soup medicine and had stopped.
Fortunately, the king of Jiangdu County, who was acting as an administrative agent, had just come out to see His Majesty and met him.
The king of the county asked what had happened that made him so panicked, and he thought that now that His Majesty was seriously ill, many things were entrusted to the king of Jiangdu County, and it did not hurt to tell him about this matter, so he told him about Yao Qianqing's beating of the drum outside the palace.
Of course, Xiao Chang knew that it was Yao Qianqing's business, but in the eyes of others, he didn't know, so he pretended not to know, and after a moment of deep introspection, he said, "Since this is the case, then leave this matter to dali temple to handle." ”
Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Dali Temple, is a notoriously upright, iron-faced and selfless clean official, known as "Zhao Qingtian", as long as the case is handed over to him, he will definitely investigate it clearly, clearly and plainly, and will never bend the law for personal gain.
The Yao family's case was handed over to him, which was still quite reassuring. Not only that, Xiao Chang also specially sent someone to escort Yao Qianqing to dali temple, afraid that someone would attack her on the road.
The official trembled and reminded, "Your Highness, this is the rule of beating the drum, but you must beat the person who beats the drum before you can try the case." ”
Xiao Chang waved his hand and said, "Listening to what you just said, it was a girl's family that was beating the drum?" ”
The official did not know what the king of the county meant, and nodded yes.
Xiao Chang coughed softly and said solemnly, "How can a soft and weak girl's family be able to withstand that beating?" Let's leave it to Dali Temple to look at. ”
The king of the county spoke, and the people below did not dare not follow, so they listened to his intentions and began to do it.

Yao Qianqing suddenly sued the Zheng family, and Zheng Guangyao got the news at the first time. He did not expect that after two years, there were still people in the Yao family who came out to overturn the case.
He was a little irritable, and when he took a shot at the Yao family, it was because the Yao family collected the Handle of the Zheng Family everywhere and tried to speak to His Majesty and punish him of the Zheng Family's sins, and in order to protect himself, he made a move in advance, slandering the Yao Family as the sinner who had formed a party for personal gain.
Fortunately, there were noble concubines who wanted to help, but the Yao family's crime was quickly settled, he knew that the Yao family collected a lot of evidence of the Zheng family's crimes, and when he sent someone to copy the Yao family, he deliberately let people go to find them, and the results were all painless and itchy things, and the most important things did not know where the old things of Yao Taifu were hidden.
He was worried that the things would be hidden in the hands of the Yao family, so he tried to find a way to let the Yao family leave the capital as much as possible, exiled as slaves, slaves as slaves, and specially sent people to watch them, if there is any movement, they will undoubtedly be killed.
Unexpectedly, under all odds, he was actually escaped, he originally did not expect that things would actually be in the hands of a little girl, so he was more concerned about the Yao family men at the beginning, but it was not so strict for female dependents, who thought that it was in the hands of the little girl in the Yao family.
After the girl escaped, he also sent someone to look for her, but unfortunately she was like evaporation in the human world, she couldn't find anything, the heavens and the earth were big, and he didn't know where she ran.
Unexpectedly, the next time I see you again, it was her beating the drum in full view of everyone.
He got up from his chair in anger and walked around the house, and Yao Qianqing dared to beat the drum in public, indicating that she must have evidence of the Zheng family's guilt in her hands, and the most urgent thing was to get those evidence back.
Only yao qianqing started first, but unfortunately, Yao Qian was sent to Dali Temple by Xiao Chang early in the morning.
Dali Temple is Zhao Zheng's territory, but Zhao Zheng does not enter the oil and salt, soft and hard do not eat, is an iron-faced selfless stubble.
In addition, Xiao Chang's stinky boy also sent someone to guard the Dali Temple, saying that he would assist the Dali Temple in strictly investigating the case.
Zheng Shao, the son of Zheng Guangyao, saw that his father was so anxious, so he hesitated and said, "Otherwise, we will go to find my aunt..."
"No way!" Zheng Guangyao scolded loudly: "There is no conclusion on this matter, and we must not act rashly." ”
Zheng Shao could only nod yes.
Zheng Guangyao paced with his back to his hand while saying, "Yao Qianqing should have evidence in his hand, we can't get our hands, Zhao Zheng is a person I spent so much effort and I have not been able to recruit him to my flag, now it is even more impossible." ”
Zheng Shao asked urgently, "Then what should we do?" ”
"Although Your Majesty loves your aunt and in the past also treated our Zheng family favorably for your aunt's sake, this does not mean that Your Majesty will maintain our Zheng family everywhere."
Over the years, we have indeed collected a lot of money and won over many officials, and which one is not a great sin. ”
Zheng Shao did not think so: "Our Zheng family has come to the current position step by step, which step does not require money or people." There is also an aunt, she is now more dignified than the empress in the palace, if it were not for the fact that our Zheng family had sent thousands of silver into it over the years, if we wanted to make the palace people in the palace listen to her, I was afraid that it would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens. If there is no money and no one, where will there be an aunt who is decent today. ”
"You're right, if you want everyone else to listen to you, how can you have no money, over the years, our Zheng family has reached its current position step by step, only the last step, you can enjoy a hundred years of glory, if your aunt becomes the empress, the Zheng family is the empress dowager's mother, and the supreme glory of the future is just around the corner."
Zheng Shao: "But now the Yao family's case..."
Zheng Guangyao waved his hand: "The case is not important, just look at who the person above is, if the person above is our person, the big case will also be solved." ”
Zheng Shao: "Father means..."
"Your Majesty is seriously ill, there are only three adopted sons in the palace, your aunt has raised one, if at this time Your Majesty's dragon rides Bintian, someone should always sit in that position, as long as your aunt becomes the empress, everything is easy to say."
Zheng Shao was a little worried: "But now that the King of Jiangdu County has returned to Beijing, he is the only adult adopted son of His Majesty, and his adoptive mother is the Empress of the Middle Palace, as soon as he returns to Beijing, His Majesty will entrust him with administrative affairs. ”
Zheng Guangyao smiled unpredictably and touched his beard, "What's this, Your Majesty hasn't really written down his will yet, everything has variables, isn't it?" ”
Zheng Shao bowed his head and saluted: "Everything is subject to his father's arrangement." ”
Zheng Guangyao nodded and instructed his son: "Some time ago, Xiao Chang suddenly returned to Beijing, for fear of change, I told you that my aunt first responded to changes with no change, and now the Yao family's case will be retried, if we really let the Yao family overturn the case, then our Zheng family will be trapped in a place of no return."
Fang Fang did not let you go to your aunt because Your Majesty was seriously ill, and your aunt could not help anything, but now you don't need Your Majesty, you go and ask someone to hand your aunt a word, and then you say it's time to do it. ”
Zheng Shao took the order to go, Zheng Guangyao stood in front of the window, looking through the window to the sky outside, it was still a good weather with clear skies, and now it had gradually risen dark clouds, as if there was heavy rain to fall.
The day is about to change. (Original title: "Lady Is Well: Drumming and Sounding Injustice")
