son-in-law

Chapter 143
In the early morning of April [-]nd, Empress Dowager Chen passed away suddenly, which was really unexpected.

I still remember that when we met for the first time in Daxiangguo Temple, the empress dowager's arrogance of giving pointers to the country, and the ruthless look in her eyes when she was forcibly buried, left a deep impression on Su Yu.

Although the woman was nearly half a century old and covered with silver hair, she was still tall and straight.

There are slight wrinkles on her face, but she can't hide her beauty.

Looking at her from behind, using the word "Yeyan" to describe her is definitely not an exaggeration.

Hearing the news of the Queen Mother's death, Su Yu felt inexplicably sad.As for the cause of the queen mother's death, Su Yu heard three versions in just three days.

On April [-]nd, Wang Xun, who was still wearing bandages, said:

"In the past two months, the Queen Mother has often screamed in her dreams, and she has already felt unwell. The imperial doctors took turns to see the Queen Mother, but they couldn't see the clue. They only said that the Queen Mother was thin and her pulse was weak. , It was caused by overwork. I prepared a lot of tonic for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't eat much. Last night, the Queen Mother didn't scream, but in the morning, she found that the Queen Mother had passed away. According to the imperial doctor's speculation, the Queen Mother died of a heart attack. Beng, it is said that the remains are peaceful. At the same time, there is news that Concubine Liang, who has been serving the emperor, has also died, the cause of death is unknown. Her son is now staying in the house of Concubine Yi (Cao Yuzan)."

Regarding the matter in the palace, Su Yu had no eyes and ears, so he was unable to verify the authenticity.Even though I knew Cao Yuzan and Tang Ju, there was no contact to pass on the news.Even if there is a contact person, they may not tell such secrets to an outsider like Su Yu.

-

Recently Tang Linger was busy with family financial reorganization, and Su Yu hadn't seen her for three days.Because the small building of the Princess's Mansion had been burned into ruins, Tang Ling'er lived and worked in the Duke's Mansion.And Su Yu still lives in the small side room, but now he is the owner of the house, so he must go down to visit and condolences.

The three swordsmen Lin Xiao, Li Feng, and Zhang Guang were all injured defending the princess, so they must visit, needless to say.

Hearing that Tang Xiaofei was also injured, Su Yu went to visit Tang Xiaofei's house with a gift.

Tang Xiaopang was so moved that he was in tears, and said that the county master was kind, and it was Xiaopang's blessing to be a maid in the princess' mansion.Su Yu looked at Tang Xiaopang's wound, and was stabbed in the arm.Perhaps it was because she was fat, the knife did not hurt any bones, so Su Yu left in peace.

Then I went to visit Lin Wan at Lin's house. Lin Wan recovered well from her injuries, but she had a slight low-grade fever.

Seeing Su Yu, Lin Wan smiled miserably and said, "I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet. In such a dangerous situation, the magistrate gave his life to save me. I really don't know how to thank him."

Ever since Tang Ling'er changed the title of princess of Chang'an, she asked the whole family to call her princess.Don't call me Miss anymore.Even a familiar person like Shi Jinchong is not allowed to bark indiscriminately, otherwise the family law will serve him.Since Miss can't be called Young Master, so can't be called Young Master, so the address for Su Yu is also uniformly changed to Jun Ma.

Su Yudao: "Sister, you're welcome. Lin Chongyang and I have been close friends for eight times, and we are brothers. We are brothers who are heart-to-heart. Comparing our hearts, Lin Chongyang will also save my little sister under the same circumstances. I am as Lin Chongyang is, and Lin Chongyang is as I am. You just treat it like that." Lin Chongyang saved you."

Lin Wan was weak, but was amused by Su Yu: "The county horse is purely sophistry, but these words are heart-warming."

Then they talked about Tang Linger's election as the Chief Financial Officer of Qinghuafang, and they were all happy for Tang Linger.Later, Tang Kuan was mentioned.

That unlucky Tang Kuan was hit by an arrow and nearly died.But he was lucky and came back to life.It was heard that the eastern and western prefectures merged, and the financial power of the eastern prefecture he had obtained through elections disappeared immediately.At that time, he was so angry that he rolled his eyes, so he didn't die.But later, when Tang Linger invited him to serve as the financial external negotiator and the general manager of the family business east of Qinghuafang Middle Street, he regained his energy.At first he felt a little awkward, thinking about how to face Tang Linger.But I heard that early this morning, he still went to the Duke's Mansion to report to Tang Linger.

Having said that, Su Yu and Lin Wan looked at each other and smiled.The two knew that the fourth son Tang Kuan was a capable person, but they had a hostile relationship before, so they held grudges.Now that he has become a colleague, he no longer needs to hate him, but finds it useful.As long as he concentrates on his work, he will become Tang Linger's right-hand man in his career.

Later, when it came to the death of Empress Dowager Chen, Su Yu told Lin Wan what he had heard from Wang Xun.

Lin Wan lowered her voice and said, "Father came back three days ago. I was seriously ill at the time. My father only thought that I was in a coma, and they didn't carry my back when they spoke. I heard that someone came to tell my father to return to the army immediately. .It is said that there is going to be a big incident in the palace, which may cause a big disturbance. Although I don't know exactly what it is, but since this incident can be predicted in advance, I think the Queen Mother's death should not be the legendary death of illness."

Hearing this, Su Yu smelled a hint of conspiracy.

After leaving the Lin family's mansion, Su Yu went to the Li family's warehouse to visit the Christian brothers.

Now when everyone sees Su Yu, they all perform divine rituals and call him Hall Master Su.In their minds, Su Yu had already succeeded Gu Yueshan and became the boss of the Kongzi Camp.As for the "Li Zuo envoy", everyone is still confused, because Li Xun has been hemming and hawing, so that everyone can't figure out what's going on.

Su Yu saw several wounded people, and also saw the brother with the broken arm. Su Yu rewarded him with money to comfort him, and said that there will be another reward in the princess mansion in the future, and I will definitely fight for you.You won't suffer all kinds of injuries, and your disabled brother will definitely be taken care of.

In the end, Su Yu went to visit that Arhat. This guy is simply a god-man, with a height of nine feet, which is [-] meters in conversion.In this Liang Dynasty, he was considered a very rare big man.If it wasn't for the support of this big man, it is estimated that Gui Jianchou's sleeve knives would have killed him long ago.

The lame maid Tang Lian served here, she was very attentive, Su Yu joked: "If you don't want to part with Tu Biao, I'll make the decision and let you marry him."

The little girl's face was pale, and the boss was dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Su Yu's mind changed. She just admired Tu Biao and regarded Tu Biao as a relative, but she had no love for men and women.

Tang Lian took Su Yu to a place where there was no one else, and said:
[I contacted my second brother Lu Xiao, who said that the Queen Mother's death was related to Concubine Liang.To say that the queen mother is also unlucky.She had calculated thousands of times, but she didn't make it to this point.

The queen mother has been in power for many years, and the 20 Xuanjia troops in Gyeonggi Province protect her with three layers inside and three layers outside.The imperial city is also full of masters, impenetrable.But in the end she died at the hands of a weak woman, which was really unexpected.

The second elder brother said that Concubine Liang was ugly and cowardly, and she was usually bullied.But this honest man is impatient after being bullied, and can explode with amazing strength.When Li Wantang went out to contact Cao Wudi, Concubine Liang broke in and suffocated the Queen Mother with a pillow.

The second elder brother also said that it is really difficult to do it with Concubine Liang alone.It is estimated that there are still people in the palace involved in this matter.But who it is, the second brother doesn't know.But the second brother said that the emperor must know about it.As soon as the queen mother died, the emperor immediately summoned the five generals of the Xuanjia army and the fifteen generals of Zhonglang to stabilize the power of the Xuanjia army.At the same time, the three princes led troops into the palace to help the emperor maintain order. The whole thing was done in an orderly manner, as if it had been arranged in advance. 】

Hearing this, Su Yu sighed: "Although there is no guarantee that this is the truth, this version sounds closer to the truth. I never thought that a strong woman like Queen Mother Chen would die so miserablely." The topic changed: "Oh, Tang Lian, you mentioned Cao Wudi just now, who is Cao Wudi?"
