The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 589
Every member of the family ignored Xiao Liu's feelings and thoughts, because they knew from the beginning that she was destined to be abandoned by the family and belonged to a place that could not be used.

As for those who are of the same generation as Xiao Liu, as elders, they are even more reluctant to have their children come into contact with Xiao Liu. They feel that they are a step above Xiao Liu, and if they are with Xiao Liu, the price will drop.No elder cared what kind of life she was living at all, it was good for her to live anyway.

Mr. Xu pondered for a long time after knowing what kind of life his little granddaughter lived. Maybe she was oppressed and impatient, so she would explode. Of course, some people have thought about the idea that dirty things occupy the body in Madam Tang's heart, but they absolutely dare not That being said, the whole incident had an eerie feel to it anyway.

Master Xu naturally did not admit that it was his own fault. He also had to bend down in order to bring down the powerful officials, and the reason for bending down temporarily was to stand up better. This is a politically necessary strategy.

You must know that it is too difficult to take a road to overthrow powerful officials. Many officials died on this road. One bad thing is that the entire family was wiped out. Even if he is very smart, he has been tricked several times.

It can be said that he has been walking very hard since he embarked on this path, and he had to use the life of a granddaughter as a sign of submission, otherwise the enemy would attack him even more brazenly.

Of course, he also knows that even if his granddaughter grows up to become a member of the enemy's family, he will not let him spare the other party, and the same enemy will not forgive himself. He and the enemy are completely to the end, there is no second way.

All along, he didn't care much about his granddaughters at all. A girl will marry sooner or later, as long as she can raise them up, he doesn't have to worry about her natal family for girls who want to marry, but hopes that they can live well in her husband's house, no The mother's family is needed to intervene.

This is because he can see very clearly how many officials' families have been destroyed over the years, and the situation of their wives and children is very clear.So although he seemed submissive and allowed his granddaughter to be his concubine, he never counted on his in-laws.

Don't say that in case of accidents, some in-laws are waiting to help, heh!how is this possible?In many cases, the in-laws are more ruthless. He believes that when the powerful officials want to harm him, they will definitely not hold back. Naturally, he doesn't care about the living conditions of his granddaughter. This is something that women need to worry about. But after this jump, I realized that the backyard The women here also have their own set of logic, collectively rejecting the granddaughter.

Now he wants to figure out what's going on, what went wrong, why would a five-year-old child want to jump into the river?Could it be that there is someone around this child who is instigating it?Otherwise, why would such a small child jump into the river?This is something that must be clarified. "Tell me about the situation at that time." Master Xu looked at Mother Tang.

Kneeling on the ground, Nanny Tang tried her best to recall the whole process, starting from the beginning, "That day, the Young Madam received a post saying that Miss Yunfei wanted to meet Miss Six in the temple, so the Young Madam sent someone to tell Six Miss the people get them ready.

Because I have to get up early in the morning because I have to go to the temple to offer incense, everyone in Miss Six’s yard also gets up early, but I don’t know why the people who serve Miss Six all have diarrhea after eating, and they can’t take care of Miss Six at all. Miss.

After the young lady found out, she asked the servant to take care of Miss Six, and the servant took Miss Six into the car.There was nothing along the way, Miss Six kept silent and didn't ask the servants to do anything, just sat there.

Later, after going out of the city, Miss Six got up to look at the scenery outside. After being stopped by the servant girl, she sat back down again. When the carriage got on the bridge, Miss Six stood up all of a sudden. What happened, and then found that her legs were numb, Miss Six opened the curtain of the car and went out.

Speaking of this, Mother Tang felt that everyone's eyes were on her, and everyone was wondering why Xiao Liu suddenly jumped into the river?What does she know?No one knows why.

When Mr. Xu heard this, he looked at Nanny Tang. The driver who drove the car fell down for some reason after returning home. Later, he found a doctor who looked at him and said that he was in very bad health, and he might not live long. .

This is Ling Xiao's hand and foot. As a modern soul, there are not too many class boundaries. After going through several ancient worlds, she is very clear about the nature of the Xu family. As a member of the official scholar-bureaucrat, she doesn't care about the lives of slaves. In the eyes of the nobles, slaves are often not as precious as cattle and horses.

After she escaped, there was definitely a possibility that other people would be involved. As the confidant of Mrs. Tang, Madam Tang might have escaped unharmed, but the coachman was the lowest servant.

After all, dead people can't speak, and when they die, they won't let other people know that their sixth lady jumped into the river. This is to prevent the scandal from breaking out and silence them. The Xu family will definitely do this.

So Ling Xiao put an invisible talisman on the coachman, causing the coachman to fall down and be unable to speak after returning. He had no chance to talk to others at all, which was regarded as giving him a chance.

After the Xu family came back, they informed the coachman, only to find out that this person fell into a coma after falling ill all of a sudden, and could not answer at all. In this case, the Xu family naturally couldn't ask the coachman himself to ask questions.

After knowing the situation, Mr. Xu decided to send the coachman and his family to a remote Zhuangzi, and told them not to return to the capital in the future. Although their family looked like they were driven out of Xu's house, the coachman was saved.

The driver's family didn't know what was going on at first, so they worked hard, how could they leave immediately if they were told to leave?They didn't know exactly what was going on, but the master ordered natural selection to leave.

In addition, those people who were serving Miss Six in the mansion were also sent to the Zhuangzi one after another. The family of the coachman understood what was going on. The coachman must have been involved in something, and they didn't know why his His appearance was very bad. You must know that the coachman was in good health all the time, but he quickly realized that it is better to be unconscious at the moment.

The coachman actually knew it was bad when Miss Six jumped into the river, because it meant that there was going to be a scandal in the mansion, and he couldn't escape. He signed a contract of sale, and after he ran away, he was a fugitive slave. The government wanted to hunt him down, and he didn't have a household registration yet. , and there is no guide, how can I escape?And what about your own family?
It was so good that he breathed a sigh of relief when he lay down by himself!Even if he died, his family would not be affected, and he fell into a coma after a while, with a golden complexion and weak breath, as if he was not far from death.

The Xu family was still thinking about how to wake him up and ask for clarification, but after knowing the situation, they were afraid that this person would have the plague. After all, his outbreak was too fast, and noble people would not take any risks at all.

The coachman's family also understood something, and saw that the coachman was not far from death, and they were not even allowed to go to the doctor to have a look. The family left the capital in a bit of distress, and were escorted to the farm.

After they left the capital, they discovered that the driver had woken up, but he was still unable to speak, and still had to walk a few steps with the help of his family members. The family members were ecstatic, but they soon knew that in order to cause an accident, they pretended that something was wrong with the driver.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when she found out. She really wanted to escape, but she didn't want to make the innocent suffer bad luck. Don't think it's bad for them to go to a remote farm, but at least they can save their lives.

This is also the reason why Lord Xu asked Nanny Tang personally. There were two parties involved in the matter of Xiaoliu jumping into the river. The coachman had no way to ask and was sent out directly. The only person who knew the situation was Nanny Tang.

Master Xu closed his eyes after listening to Nanny Tang's words. Naturally, he still couldn't find the reason why Xiao Liu jumped into the river, but he felt that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, who could it be?So would anyone want to control Xiao Liu?

Can't!He didn't see anything worth cultivating about Xiao Liu. He wanted to remember what kind of child his granddaughter Miss Liu was, but he couldn't because she lived like a shadow. no.I always feel that Madam Tang is hiding something, and when she talks about Miss Six, she looks terrified.

Mother Tang actually felt that this was not a normal five-year-old child's behavior, so she was a little scared. I remembered someone once said: people are doing what the sky is watching, and now thinking about it, it feels a little bad.When she met Mr. Xu's thoughtful gaze, she quickly moved away, not daring to meet him.

And the young lady's mother-in-law and sisters-in-law looked at each other a few times after hearing the news, some couldn't believe it was reality, and Xiao Liu, who had been very silent all this time, suddenly went crazy and jumped into the river?This is impossible, right?
But Mother Tang finally shattered everyone's illusions. The little Liu who had been neglected by everyone really disappeared. When she was there, everyone didn't care, and they didn't want to know more. There was no sadness at the moment. The only thought was how could Fool the opponent.

Among them, the eldest and young lady was the most silent, she didn't want to speak at all, she had no intention of saying anything more, because she sent someone to ask privately, and Xiao Liu's body didn't know where it went, and she was very unhappy at the moment.

I heard Xu Er say: "Actually, Xiao Liu has never been out since he was so old, and others don't know what Xiao Liu looks like. Now you can just find a little girl. Anyway, let's call her Xiao Liu, she It's Xiao Liu."

He really didn't feel that there was any big problem with Xiao Liu jumping into the river. In his eyes, it didn't matter who Xiao Liu was. As long as Xiao Liu was needed in the future, it would be fine if Xiao Liu showed up. It was an explanation to the powerful family.

After his words came out, Mr. Xu felt that Li Daitao's method was feasible, and he did not intend to send another granddaughter to the Yan family.You must know that the girls in the family are all marriage tools, and if you lose a little six, you don't want to mess with another granddaughter.

In the end, this plan was implemented. Xu's family said that Miss Six in the mansion felt bad after being bumped on the head, so they went to the farm to recuperate. Then they took the opportunity to find a girl who cared about her to act as Xiao Liu. Xiao can quickly forget the past and regard himself as Xiao Liu.

Ling Xiao was very angry when he found out, what did he do?Why should another girl suffer this pain?Angrily, she ran to see the girl, and when she found her, she found that the adopted girl was strongly advocated by the young lady.

When adopting her, she promised to give her family a certain amount of subsidies, and for some reason, the girl's body is that kind of child who is born with a particularly bad nature and cannot be raised at all. If there is no support from the Xu family, I am afraid that she will not be able to survive immediately.

After Ling Xiao found out, he looked at the sickly orphaned girl, forget it, let her stay here!He didn't have much time to live, so staying here would take good care of her. The eldest young lady specially sent Nanny Tang to watch over her, and Nanny Tang was also conscientious, with completely different attitudes from before.

This is how the same thing?Obviously the original owner is the eldest lady's own daughter, but she didn't get the love of a mother, but a foreign girl was favored by the eldest lady and Tang Nanny, which made Ling Xiao not know how to evaluate the eldest lady Behavior, and finally turned and left.

Unable to understand the young lady's thoughts, she decided not to meddle in the Xu family's affairs. In addition, she felt happy. Jumping into the river was finally ending the relationship with the Xu family. Thinking about this, she still felt a little heartbroken for the original owner, but there was nothing more idea.

After Ling Xiao lived in the capital, she didn't want to go to see the emperor. She didn't like the well-known Long Live Lord in later generations. There are not many emperors like this one who haven't been in court for many years, and they only want to pursue longevity.

Speaking of which, the person sitting on the emperor's throne was originally a son of the clan, and there was no possibility of becoming an emperor at all, but whoever let his previous emperor die would have no children to succeed to the throne, and the dynasty needs to continue, so naturally there is a need for a new one. The emperor was born.

Therefore, more than [-] children of the clan were gathered by the powerful officials to see which one was suitable to be the emperor. The condition for selection was that it was easier for the powerful officials to control, and the emperor was selected.

After he ascended the throne of the emperor, he was dismissed, and he is also considered a real smart person, quite powerful!After five years of fighting with powerful officials, he won the final victory. Since then, he has become disliked by his officials who oppose him.

For a long time afterwards, because the emperor was good at Taoism, he began to pursue longevity, probably because he wanted to live a long life. In this case, the emperor recruited some Taoist priests by his side and began to concoct elixirs.

It is also because the emperor likes alchemy, some Taoist priests offered pills, and the emperor began to refine pills according to the alchemy, and because of this incident, he was assassinated and almost strangled to death by the maids, but the ladies were very nervous when they acted , but let the emperor escape.

This is not to blame for the rebellion of the maids. One of the ingredients in a prescription is the menstrual blood of virgins. In order to obtain enough raw materials, the maids were forced to suffer mentally and physically. A court lady rebelled and wanted to kill the emperor.

Knowing this period of history, Ling Xiao was a little speechless. Such an emperor really made people feel terrifying. Also, the emperor, who was the highest class of scholar-bureaucrats, naturally had the same characteristics as those nobles. He didn't treat ordinary people as human beings at all. They are tools and suppliers of raw materials, but they are not people. In the eyes of the emperor, they are just ants.

For creatures like emperors, there are no rules that can restrict them. Even Mingjun often becomes stubborn, arrogant, and unable to listen to other people's opinions in the later stages. Ling Xiao has no idea of ​​​​going to see it.

It's not that she hasn't seen the emperor before, like this person who has been sitting on the emperor's throne, she doesn't have a good impression at all. It is said that if you want to gain the favor of His Majesty the emperor, you must find out what the emperor likes, and the emperor likes it very much A courtier who can write good poems.

Although the son of the Quanchen family was short and fat, he was not a very good-looking person, but he was quick-witted and wrote a good poem, which ensured that the Yan family had a good life and became an important minister of the emperor.

As a wise emperor, he can still control the power of the court without playing for more than 20 years. Can he not know the evil deeds of the Yan family and his son?No, he has a clear mind, but he still knows how to use it, so why would the emperor do this?
This is because the emperor believed that it didn't matter whether loyal or traitorous ministers, as long as the traitorous ministers were loyal to him as the emperor, they could be used by him, and it was the use of powerful ministers that would reduce the emperor's labor burden.

Therefore, even if other ministers went to the memorial to impeach powerful ministers for accepting bribes, betraying their official positions, eliminating dissidents, killing and arson and other illegal and disciplined things, it didn't matter to the emperor, as long as the treacherous ministers were loyal to him, the emperor.

You must know that treacherous ministers are happy to use, power ministers will follow the emperor when they speak, and those loyal ministers will restrain the emperor with rules one by one, so can he not be annoying?
Think about it, if a person keeps hearing that he can't do anything well, how would he feel?At the beginning, he would reluctantly accept it, but after accepting a P later, the emperor would start to let himself go and try his best to stay away from his ministers. After all, there are very few emperors who can listen to the advice of ministers.

Even Emperor Taizong of Tang, who loves to listen to advice the most, was in a panic and wanted to kill Wei Zheng, a farmer?It was Empress Changsun who came forward to ease his rage.
