After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

After dinner, Haitang Haijiao came to the second hospital on the pretext of eating after dinner.

No one has checked into the second hospital yet.The smell of several rooms has not yet dissipated, but the interior decoration has begun. It is estimated that Hai Changan and his wife will be able to move in with small stones before the year.

But right now, there is no one in the house, and the yard outside is also empty.After dark, the second door is locked, and people in the front yard will not come to the back house if they have nothing to do. Few people move around in the second yard, making it more quiet and secluded. It is a good place for secret conversations.As long as they put on thick cloaks to resist the cold, have a house to block the wind, and have lanterns under the corridor for lighting, the brothers and sisters Haijiao and Haitang can talk with confidence, and they can immediately notice if someone comes slightly closer to the yard.

Hai Jiao told his sister everything about today's experience at Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion.

Zhang Pinggui was arrested. The Duke of Zhen and the old military advisor were very surprised. Several major generals in Chang'an also came over after hearing the news.Of course, not everyone gathered around Zhang Pinggui for interrogation. Instead, veterans who were good at interrogation were responsible for interrogating Zhang Pinggui in a secluded small room. The rest of the people were sitting in a nearby big room, waiting for the juniors of the Zhou family to report the latest interrogation results at any time. Pass it back.

Everyone just listened to the results and discussed countermeasures.

However, Zhang Pinggui is still a bit cunning.Even if he fell into the hands of the Zhou family, the case against him would not be cleared, and he had no intention of confessing honestly.He actually listened to what the brother and sister Hai Jiao and Hai Tang told him, and did not grit his teeth and refused to speak. It was just the content of the confession that he refused to follow the interrogator's wishes.He just spoke according to his own thoughts, but from time to time his words were mixed with important information, which made the people listening anxiously want to hit someone, but they didn't dare to actually hit them, for fear that after the beating, he would not speak again. I can bite the bullet and listen to him tell the story.

Haitang wanted to sneer when he heard this: "Is he trying to titillate people? Or is he planning to take the opportunity to raise conditions for the Zhou family to let him go? After persuading him so much, he didn't even listen? It's really a waste of our persuasion to him. Half a day's hard work! I've said before that if he uses his own ideas to speculate on people like Marshal Zhou, the Duke of Zhenguo, he will be tricked to death sooner or later! I'm afraid he has never seen a few truly powerful smart people in his life. , just think that everyone is as easy to fool as Zhou Shuyi and his wife!"

Hai Jiao smiled: "Maybe he wants to appease Zhou's family, but he doesn't necessarily want to fool people. I do think he might want to suffer misfortune!"

"Suffering a miserable life?" Haitang blinked, "Did he say that his life experience was miserable?"

Hai Jiao nodded: "If what he said is true, his life experience is indeed a bit miserable, but in the word 'miserable', a small part of it is his own fault, but a large part of it is caused by Zhou Shuyi. Anyway, it is not the same as the Zhou family. It’s related. He probably wants to accuse the Zhou family’s daughter of harming his family, and beg the Zhou family to give him a lenient sentence.”

Zhang Pinggui's background is a bit complicated.

His father was originally a gangster, and was a well-known thief when he was young. He accidentally stole something he shouldn't have stolen, and was hunted down by his enemies, almost falling into a desperate situation.In order to survive, his father changed his appearance, hid his identity, and sold himself into the Yingchuan Hou Mansion. He was originally just a rough servant for the newlyweds Zeng Er and his wife. But among the people who were married to Zeng Er's wife Zhou Shuyi, there were some The knowledgeable veteran quickly discovered his roots.

The old soldier was a soldier beside the third wife of the Zhou family. He came to Beijing with his wife all the way to protect Zhou Shuyi.He was worried that Zhang's father would bring trouble to Zhou Shuyi, so he persuaded her to drive this man away.After Zhou Shuyi asked Zhang's father about his abilities, she said that she couldn't bear to see people wandering on the streets and dying, so she sent him to the dowry village she bought in the suburbs of Beijing and asked him to become an ordinary farmer.

The veteran was sent back to Chang'an by Zhou Shuyi in the name of honorary support within two years, so he did not know what would happen next.Although Zhang's father went to Zhou Shuyi's dowry village, he never farmed at all.He only used the name of Zhuang Ding, but secretly he was ordered by Zhou Shuyi to do some shady tasks in exchange for generous rewards to survive.Because Zhang's father was once a thief, he was very good at climbing over walls and stealing property. Zhou Shuyi gave full play to his strengths and sent him back to Yingchuan Hou Mansion to do something that absolutely must not be known to anyone - —Give medicine to Marquis Yingchuan.

At that time, both Yingchuan Hou brothers were newly married. Zhou Shuyi soon received the good news, but there was no news about Yingchuan Hou's wife.Mrs. Yingchuan Houfu was a little anxious, but she didn't dare to push her too much.Rumor has it that the Marquis of Yingchuan was seriously ill when he was a boy, which damaged his vitality. Perhaps the doctor at the time said something, and there were also rumors within the Marquis's house that he might not be successful in having children.Zhou Shuyi probably heard these rumors, and she had evil intentions. She asked Zhang's father to sneak into Marquis Yingchuan's house quietly and put medicine in his tea, so as to completely eliminate the possibility of him giving birth to an heir and inheriting the title.

When Hai Jiao said this, he explained for his sister: "According to Zhang Pinggui, Zhou Shuyi almost got engaged to the Marquis of Yingchuan. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, the Marquis of Yingchuan never stayed alone with his sister-in-law and did not touch her. He tried his best to avoid even the maids and nuns around Zhou Shuyi. Even if Zhou Shuyi wanted to administer the medicine herself, she couldn't do it. She didn't dare to bribe the servants of the Hou Mansion, so she could only let Zhang Pinggui's father sneak into the manor secretly. Take action."

Haitang frowned when she heard this: "What kind of medicine did she give to Marquis Yingchuan? If it really has the effect of terminating heirs, why did Marquis Yingchuan give birth to more than one child later?"

Hai Jiao said: "According to Zhang Pinggui, the medicine is some kind of secret medicine that can't be found outside. His father knew that the Zhou family had a queen mother, so he suspected that Zhou Shuyi got the secret recipe from the queen mother."

Haitang's eyes widened: "How is that possible?!" She had stayed in the Dachu Palace for decades in her previous life, but she had never heard of such a secret medicine in the palace.The only real man in the palace is the emperor. The people in the palace will only worry that the emperor will not have enough children. Who dares to give medicine to end the emperor's incense?Even if this medicine did exist, it would not fall into the hands of a queen mother who was not related to the emperor.

Hai Jiao smiled: "The Duke of Zhen and the rest of the Zhou family said they had never heard of this secret medicine. The old military advisor also said that if there really was such a medicine, why didn't the palace use Hu Hu as a hostage when he came to Beijing? On a human prince? If the old king of the Hu people cannot give birth to a child, he will have to worry so much just for the inheritance of the throne. How can he have the leisure to expand the territory? No matter how much land is laid, who can it be passed on to? ?”

Haitang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but secretly cursed Mrs. Ma again.

It was impossible for Zhou Shuyi to get any harmful secret medicine from Queen Mother Zhou, but she might have gotten it from her mother, Mrs. Ma.

Mrs. Ma was once the daughter of the royal family. Her mother was originally from a wealthy family. The family had two queens and one dowager in the previous dynasty.Among them, the reputation of the last concubine was not very good. There have been rumors among the people that she was good at using poison and poisoned the last prince with her own hands, causing the death of the last emperor Ai.Therefore, the girls from the duchess's natal family were never selected into the palace as concubines in this dynasty.If the Duke's wife had a rich family background and really inherited a secret medicine that could kill a person's heirs from her ancestors, and taught it to her daughter, it would not be surprising if Zhou Shuyi could use such a thing to harm people.

However, if Mrs. Ma really mastered the formula of this secret medicine, why didn't she use it when she wanted to take revenge on the unlucky scumbag Hu Ren Prince?How ruthless is her revenge method? !Apart from hurting innocent people and hurting her family, has she ever done anything else in her life? !
