Ci Jinzhi

Sun Yan is the great eunuch and a popular person in front of the emperor. But before becoming an eunuch, he was also a poor commoner.

In order to make a living, he left his newlywed wife and went to Beijing. Unexpectedly, he fell seriously ill just after arriving in the capital. After spending all his money, he was thrown into a mass grave by a shopkeeper with only half a breath left. Unexpectedly, he survived.

Then he figured out that everything is fake, only having money and living a good life is real.

He took the initiative to purify himself and entered the palace. Because he was clever and knew a few words, he quickly recognized a high eunuch as his godfather. Within a few years, he came to the emperor...

After listening to Xin You's words today, Sun Yan was greatly touched.

If the family can survive, who would be willing to leave their hometown in search of a way to survive?

When he looked up at the girl in front of him, it was actually not for the common people, but for his former self.

He didn't think much about climbing up in the past, but in recent years he has been thinking over and over again, if he had entered Beijing later, maybe his wife could have given him a son and a half.

But he just thought about it. Later, when he got money and power, he asked someone to send money to his hometown. The news he brought back was that his hometown was hit by a disaster and everyone in the village was gone.

Xin You didn't know that Sun Yan had been thinking a lot. When he heard what he said, his smile became more genuine: "Eunuch Sun, please stay. After leaving the palace gate, you can walk a few steps to the Hanlin Academy."

Seeing her insistence, Sun Yan had no choice but to stop: "I'm going to leave soon."

The people in the Hanlin Academy, like other yamen, were not interested in official matters at all, and were entirely focused on Zhang Shoufu's affairs.

Seeing Xin You strolling over, many people wanted to rush over and ask what was going on, but their rationality told them to stay calm.

This is the person who overthrew Zhang Shoufu.

There are also Deng Ge elders and Gu Changbo ahead of them. As for those people involved in Liu Gei's matter, they don't even bother to mention them. They are just frivolous.

Yes, Xin Daizhao was actually the one who was harmed, but if someone else met her, they would really be the victims. If Xin Daizhao met her, the person who harmed her would be dead. Who wouldn't be afraid of this?

When Xinyou walked away, there was a buzz of discussion.

"I'm afraid the Zhang family is completely finished, right?"

"Needless to say, it depends on how many people will be implicated."

"I heard that the governor of He Town personally led people to ransack homes and arrest people..."

……

As these people guessed, the entire Zhang residence was surrounded by Jinlin guards.

Zhang Xu's skin injury has healed. Because he was expelled from school, he didn't have to go back to the Imperial College, so he slept until three o'clock in the morning.

"What's going on outside?" Hearing the faint commotion, Zhang Xu lazily walked out.

A group of official officers came towards them in a menacing manner.

"Who are you? What are you doing?" Zhang Xu's eyes widened in surprise, and then he got angry, "You can just come in to the Zhang family?"

The leading Jinlin Guard was Huang Cheng, who went south with He Qingxiao. Seeing Zhang Xu's clueless look, he found it both incredible and funny: "We are the Jinlin Guards, and we have been ordered to search Zhang's mansion."

"Search by order?" Zhang Xu's mind turned and he realized what he meant.

This is a house raid!

"Why are you searching my house?" The young man who had never been lawless was panicked, and even more so in disbelief, "Just because I provoked Xin You, my house was searched?"

Huang Cheng looked at Zhang Xu with pity in his eyes. This pity is not true sympathy, but pity for the other person's stupidity.

"Your grandfather and your uncle planned to assassinate Xin Taizhao. The matter was exposed and they were both thrown into prison." Huang Cheng explained kindly, then waved his hand coldly, "Take him away!"

"Let me go, let me go! I don't believe it, you must be lying to me!"

There was a lot of crying and commotion in Zhangzhai, and Zhang Xu's shouting was particularly prominent.

Xin You stood outside Zhang's house, quietly watching the Jinlin guards come in and out, dragging away Zhang's family members one by one. When she saw Zhang Xu being brought out, her calm eyes changed slightly.

She thought of Dai Ze, the crown prince of Guchang Bo. Compared to how Dai Ze looked before his exile, Zhang Xu was much more embarrassed and ugly.

Zhang Xu seemed to feel something, and looked in the direction of Xin You, and saw her standing there, struggling to pounce on her.

He was restrained and unable to move, so he could only vent his anger by scolding: "Xinyou, you are a monster! You are a monster!"

He is a monster who will not end well if he gets involved!

Many people heard Zhang Xu's scolding and looked at the girl standing under the magnolia tree.

At this time, the magnolia has no flowers, only leaves, which is a rare touch of green in this late autumn and early winter season.

The girl under the magnolia tree is dressed in a green robe, which is obviously the most inconspicuous color for official uniforms, but it makes her look like the softness of green willows and the straightness of pines and cypresses.

The world fears ghosts and gods, and the accusation of "monster" is not unserious. Everyone is curious about how the accused girl should explain it.

Xin You strode over with her robe in hand and stood in front of Zhang Xu.

"You say I'm a monster?"

The enemy was so close that Zhang Xu's eyes turned red: "You are a monster. If Dai Ze and I had not met you, nothing would have happened to our family -"

The next words were snatched back with a loud slap.

Xin You fired her bows left and right, showing no mercy, and slapped Zhang Xu dozens of times before stopping.

Zhang Xu's mouth was crooked and his face was swollen, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Everyone watching this scene opened their mouths in too much shock and forgot to speak out.

Or rather, they dare not speak out.

How painful it would be to receive dozens of such hard slaps!

Xin You wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said coldly: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth!"

This Great Xia Kingdom was conquered by her biological father, and her mother's help was also indispensable. The descendant of her mother's murderer opened her mouth to insult her. Do you really think she would endure it for the sake of her bullshit reputation of being gentle and polite?

The familiar pain and dizziness came again. Zhang Xu couldn't help but tremble when he saw the girl's dark pupils. Fear instantly surged from his heart to his limbs.

She dares to do anything!

After he clearly realized this, it was as if someone poured a bucket of ice water on him, freezing his anger.

The girl's cool warning sounded: "If you talk nonsense again, even if you are imprisoned, I will whip you."

Seeing that Xin You was really angry, Huang Cheng pushed Zhang Xu: "Take it away, take it away!"

Xin You calmly watched Zhang Xu being dragged away, then turned to He Qingxiao and raised her lips: "Master He."

The wantonness just now disappeared without a trace, like a sharp sword sheathed, and she became a gentle and calm girl again.

This change was so fast that everyone who saw the transformation was stunned.

He Qingxiao did not feel uncomfortable at all, and asked her with a smile hidden in his eyes: "Searching the Zhang family will take a long time. Does Xin Daizhao want to go in and take a look?"

Xin You shook his head: "I just came to see the excitement, I won't go in."

Whether the Zhang family can find the letters and other items with the Jun seal depends on Master He. It would not be good for her to get involved.

"I will check carefully." Knowing what Xin You was thinking, He Qingxiao spoke out.

Others couldn't tell anything from these plain words, but the two of them understood each other tacitly.

"Then thank you for your hard work, Mr. He." Xin You waited for He Qingxiao to enter the Zhang Mansion again, then turned and left.
