Chapter 224
After coming out of the banquet at the Yi'an Palace, all the nobles in the capital knew this Miss Xie.

Although they haven't yet seen what is special about Miss Xie, they all felt that Miss Xie must have some unobtrusive talent.

As the grandmother of Xie Heyong, Zhang Chengjing suddenly entered everyone's field of vision.She knew that after that day, she truly had a firm foothold in the capital.It's a pity that her complicated network of relationships made it impossible for her to stay close to the big tree in the Yi'an Palace.

Early in the morning, Zhang Chengjing practiced a set of Wuqinxi in a refreshing way. After exercising his muscles and bones, he unexpectedly received a letter.

After entering Beijing, this is the first time she has received a letter from above.Du family.

"Bam—"

Objects fell in the house, and the sound turned out to be a chessboard, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the floor.

This is the most cherished thing in Zhang Chengjing's entire study.

"Sir?" The person serving outside the house obviously knew the rules, knocked on the door, and asked tentatively.

With a trembling voice, Zhang Chengjing replied to the people outside, "Come in and clean up later."

She was holding a piece of letter paper tightly in her hand, and at this moment she really wanted to tear it up, or hide it and burn it, as if she hadn't seen it.

She stared at the line on the letter in disbelief and fear, and the words seemed to be magnified several times and caught in her eyes—desire, remove, it!

The Du family, no, it's King Gongping.
To kill Xie Lan!They want to get rid of Xie Lan!
Zhang Chengjing felt a little out of strength in her hands and feet for a while, and she slumped on the ground.

She is not afraid of killing people, but this person is Xie Lan. She is Ning'er's grandmother, her in-laws, they have been friends for so many years.

Yes, in fact, killing Xie Lan or not is just a part of the calculation——

King Gongping's fief Tuoyanhui is located in the south of Mengnanhui, bordering Luotai and Zhaotai in Mengnanhui.

King Gongping, who has kept a low profile over the years, has secretly trained troops in his fief, smelted weapons privately, mined copper and iron mines, and secretly recruited troops to buy horses.

The capital is so high that the emperor is far away, so it is natural to hide the sky and cross the sea, but the adjacent land will inevitably be disturbed.

Originally, he was his counterpart in Mengnan Kui.After she was transferred to the capital, King Gongping and the others scolded themselves for not communicating with them in advance, so that they did not have time to make adequate arrangements, but they immediately found someone to replace her in such a short time.
In this way, this person is afraid that he has already lurked in a certain position, while monitoring himself, and serving as a backup candidate.Now I'm afraid that I'm just waiting for Xie Lan to get rid of, so that they can get the upper hand.

Xie Lan has helped her with a lot of things over the years, and they are supposed to be on the same boat, but who told the Xie family to suddenly catch up with the Min family and the Yi'an palace?Once the Xie family is informed of the matter, no matter which party it is disclosed to, King Gongping will immediately be greatly threatened by this party. It's all over!

Now, they were unable to win over at the front, and Xie Lan later raised the fear of King Gongping.In addition, after Ning'er entered the capital, there was such a big battle, and it was obvious that he had already moved closer to the Yi'an Palace. No wonder Gongping Wang Tie was determined to attack Xie Lan!

Previously, because of the absurd marriage farce between Yi'an Wang Shinv and himself, he had already revealed to her the line of the Du family. With Xie Lan's intelligence, he could think of some internal interests, but the Xie family was in the capital. The information is not well-informed, and it may not be completely known that King Gongping is behind it.

However, if King Gongping wants to start, he will do it directly.Fei told her that it was impossible to tell her to prepare condolences in advance, right?It's nothing more than a trick to kill the chicken and warn the monkey, and by the way, it's a bit of a test of her loyalty.

If she informs Xie Lan in advance, then she and Xie Lan will both be on the death list of King Gongping, just because they know too much, but they have two hearts, so neither of them can stay; Without the possibility of relying on King Yi'an and others, she has already shouldered an unsolicited crime, how can she face the Xie family, and how dare to easily put the Zhang family's future on a group of people who will expose her crimes sooner or later, so she has to be obedient to Ren Gongping. Used by the king.
Zhang Chengjing felt exhausted.

There are two roads in front of you, one is the mountain of swords, and the other is the sea of ​​fire.And no matter which one she chooses, she will end up facing a situation of near death.But now, which way can she really seek this chance?

she can't see
Xie Heyong didn't know that her grandfather was now in a dilemma of life and death. She just got news from Fengshang that Zhang Wanzhou had died of illness!

Since the last time the drug was dispensed, my grandfather took care of the second room, and she never took care of the second room's follow-up.How can I know that I suddenly heard the news today, I just felt like I was hallucinating.It's only been a while. Could it be that he was executed?
"How could he die of illness? Have you inquired about it?" Xie Heyong frowned.

Zhang Wanzhou drugged himself, and it was indeed a very bad behavior, but if he said that he was executed like this, it would not be enough.

"This" Fengshang shook his head, after all, this is a matter of the backyard, how could she, a woman, ask too much about internal affairs?
Jiang Rong next to him waved his hand, and Xia Chu stood up behind him.He has always been quick-talking and straightforward. Jiang Rong gave him a lot of money before, asking him to use it when necessary to invite people to buy people's hearts, so that he could get some news.

Xia Chu inquired clearly about the whole thing in the early morning.

"The last time such a bad thing happened, and the old lady was very angry, so she dealt with it according to the law of the Meng family. The board was beaten, the book was copied, and the kneeling was punished. After that."

"And after that?" Xie Heyong knew nothing about the Meng family law.

Xia Chu was silent for a while. As a servant of the Xie family, he actually didn't know much about the Meng family.It was only recently that he occasionally heard some elderly people in the Zhang family talk to him.Can only say, harsh cruel, creepy!

The crimes committed by Zhang Wanzhou and others were considered the most serious in the Meng family law.However, because they did not succeed, they were left alive.

But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped.

Seeing Jiang Rong looking at himself, Xia Chu continued to preach, "Afterwards, the old lady Du of the Second Household was removed from power, fined for three years per month, banned from the hospital for one year, and was required to transcribe "Men's Virtue" and "Men's Training" every day. "Men's Commandments."

Xie Heyong frowned. The old lady Du had never participated in this matter. Thinking about it, his grandfather also warned him to strictly control his children and grandchildren.

It was understandable for her to think so, but Jiang Rong knew that Mrs. Meng, who punished the innocent Mrs. Du so severely, was using his hands to spar with the Tian family.Du was implicated by his son-in-law for no reason, and he could not deal with Meng, so he could only take out his anger at his son-in-law Tian.
At that time, Mrs. Du will definitely make things difficult for Mrs. Tian in every possible way, so as to relieve the sullenness.

Tian Shi's days in the future will probably not be better!
Jiang Rong sighed in his heart that Meng's methods are really clever, and Jiang is still old and spicy.

Xia Chu continued, "Tian Shi, the husband in charge of the second house, handed over the power of the family to the husband of the concubine, and then he will clean the ancestral hall alone for a year and transcribe scriptures to atone for his sins."

Xie Heyong listened and felt that the punishment was not bad. Tian Shi seemed innocent, but he was actually the mastermind. Otherwise, Zhang Wanzhou might not have come up with such an idea, let alone practice it step by step.

It's just that she forgot that the ones that were omitted earlier were kneeling punishment and board-playing.In these two cases, Tian's punishment was not light.

Jiang Rong's mind moved again.The only second wife was Zhang Miao, and Mrs. Tian, ​​as the only second-in-law, was in charge of the housekeeping power. She must have given food to several other sister-in-laws over the years.Now that he is a phoenix, he is not as good as a chicken. No matter who gets this authority, I am afraid that he will not give him any good fruit to eat.

The most important thing is to lose face!Cleaning the ancestral hall, it seems that the punishment is not heavy, but it is enough to have a beautiful first-class husband of the Tian family to be suppressed by a few concubines and trampled under their feet. It's even more uncomfortable for him than killing him!Not to mention, his children are afraid of how many sins they will suffer.

Xia Chu added, "As for Zhang Wanzhou, Mrs. Meng has only given two options, one is to cut his hair and become a monk, and the other is to go to Zhuangzi. In short, he has to leave his status as a son of the mansion, and he will never be able to return to his home."

Jiang Rong lowered his eyes. This was the strength of Meng's family rules. Once a man did something that violated his morals, it would be intolerable for heaven.

Even if Zhang Wanzhou did not succeed, he still became the abandoned son of the family, and even the clansmen were afraid that his reputation would be dragged down by him, and he wished he could hang him with a white silk.These two paths are nothing more than expelling him from the Zhang family, and they will never be connected again!
Jiang Rong's eyes had a bit of ridicule in his eyes.In this way, this family is no different from his parents.It's just that the former cares about the name outside the body, while the latter is greedy for the wealth outside the body.Outside of this body, he and Zhang Wanzhou's bodies were put aside.

"Which one did Zhang Wanzhou choose?" Xie and Yong couldn't understand, what was the difference between the two.

Xia Chu's expression became a little complicated, and his eyes were obscure, "The slave heard that he chose to go to Zhuangzi."

In fact, even if he went to Zhuangzi, it was nothing more than changing his name and surname, living a poor and ordinary life for ordinary people, and continuing to live.But who knows, this will happen.
"Go to Zhuangzi? Why did you suddenly die?" Xie Heyong felt very strange.

Xia Chu shook his head, a little hesitant, "The slave only heard that he seemed to be a little bit bad before, and the government doctor tried his best to treat him, but the carriage left the capital, and it was passed a letter that he died of illness."

"The slave guessed, could it be that Zhang Wanzhou was weak, and after being hit with a board, he was punished for kneeling with injuries, so he couldn't stand it, and then he was forced to rush to Zhuangzi and couldn't hold it any longer?" Silent? After a long while, Xia Qian pondered for a while and then expressed her guess.

The rest of the people only felt sighed, and finally accepted this conjecture.

Because, it seems that this is the only guess that makes the most sense.
