Chapter 6
Xu Zhenying was stroking the silk in a mess, as if he had some clues, but couldn't grasp the main point.

It still depends on whether the second uncle is involved in political alignment.

Throughout the ages, taking sides in politics has been a cruel and artistic activity.

If we stand in the right direction, future generations will prosper.

If you stand in the wrong position, the presence or absence of your head will be a problem.

She wished that her second uncle was the smart one, but considering his pedantic and inflexible temperament, and the fact that he was an errand at the Yushitai... the situation was not good.

Seeing her frown, her grandmother couldn't help but ask: "Liu Yatou, what can you see?"

Xu Zhenying shook his head, "It's not clear yet."

Grandma looked disappointed.

Xu Lezhi was unconvinced and muttered: "Why are you pretending? I spent so much money and didn't get any useful information."

Finally, Xu Anping from the fourth room complained in a low voice: "Isn't that to blame the second uncle?"

The fourth aunt hurriedly pulled Xu Anping, frowned and said: "Don't talk about elders arbitrarily."

"Okay." Grandma decided to settle the lawsuit, "Don't even argue, it's giving me a headache. The fourth girl just said it is right, what time is it now? It is the time for our family to unite as one. If anyone is here anymore, You are gossiping and talking nonsense there, so don’t blame my old lady for being rude!"

When Mrs. Huang said this, she glared meaningfully at Mr. Huang.

Xiao Huang felt the warning gaze and said with a guilty conscience: "Mom, why are you looking at me... Didn't you just listen to what that girl Xu Lezhi said in the video? Her mouth is more poisonous than mine -"

"That's enough, you're asking for a beating, aren't you?! Say one more word and I'll let the boss divorce you!"

Xiao Huang pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, thinking in her mind: She gave birth to three sons for the old Xu family, and she worked hard without any merit. If her mother-in-law dared to divorce her, she would make the entire Xu family unhappy!
When the fourth aunt saw Xu Zhenying looking thoughtful, she couldn't help but ask: "Sixth girl, have you really not thought of anything?"

But Miao said: "Brother and sister, don't be joking. She is a child. Is it possible that she can still see the general trend of the court?"

The fourth aunt frowned and just turned a deaf ear to Miao's words, only staring at Xu Zhenying.

Xu Zhenying could only say: "I don't know if my guess is right or not. I feel that the second uncle's matter is not serious, at least he will not be beheaded."

Xu Huiming hurriedly asked: "Why do you see it?"

"The emperors of the Zhou Dynasty rarely killed civilian officials. If the emperor was really angry and wanted to kill someone, he would order it on the spot and not delay it for so long. But we have been locked up here for several days, as if the people above us have forgotten about it. , What's more, the entire Xu family only brought the second uncle to trial. If the second uncle really committed something serious, how could the higher-ups turn a blind eye to our Xu family members? We have to arrest the second aunt and ask a few questions, right?"

Fourth Aunt didn't take it seriously at first, but as she listened, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and in the end she nodded frequently, "Sixth Girl is right."

Xu Anping came over and said doubtfully: "Sixth sister...are we really not going to be beheaded?"

"I'm just guessing based on the current situation. Specifically..." Xu Zhenying smiled bitterly, "There should be results soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion ahead.The Xu family looked at each other and stuck their heads out.

The eldest aunt lay on the fence and listened carefully for a while, then turned around and reported: "Mom, it seems someone is here again."

Then I heard a burst of messy footsteps coming from the cell, and then a row of female relatives came in one after another, with makeup on their faces and frightened expressions. Some of them were crying and refused to enter: "Why are they implicated in the crime they committed directly?" Come to us? The Holy Spirit clearly shows that we have separated a long time ago!"

"That's right, sir, we are innocent——"

"Third Grandpa is really old and confused. How dare he challenge Uncle Zhu Guo to his face? It's good now. Now the entire Fang family has to be buried with him."

"His Zhu Ci is so majestic. I think his ancestor was just a bricklayer. Once a villain gained power, he just became a state uncle and dared to form cliques for personal gain and ignore His Majesty. I really forgot that he was a humble man. Is it time for me to ask my father to recommend him to the imperial court? When will it be his Zhu family's turn to take charge of the Zhou Dynasty?"

Everyone was shouting and pushing, mixed with the cries of women and children.

Although they were sent to prison, these people were dressed in luxurious clothes and had eye-catching pearls on their heads. Although they were noisy, they did not look like prostitutes. At first glance, they were from a noble family.

Everyone in the Xu family suddenly became energetic and looked over curiously.But because he had been in jail for several days, he was embarrassed and ashamed, and he did not dare to talk to him.

Lian Qiuzhi saw a familiar figure in a trance. He immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked to the fence. He said with some surprise: "Mrs. Fang?"

Mrs. Fang was over fifty years old, and her well-maintained face in the past was now in a state of decline, as if she had aged more than ten years overnight. When she raised her eyes, she saw only a slightly familiar face.

She tentatively replied: "But...it belongs to the family of Master Xu, the Censor Zhongcheng?"

Lian Qiuzhi felt a little proud when she saw Mrs. Fang recognized her. She bowed and said, "Mrs. Fang has a good memory. Your family held a plum appreciation banquet the year before last year. I was lucky enough to go there."

Next to Mrs. Fang, there was a middle-aged woman who was dressed luxuriously but slightly disheveled. She quietly approached Mrs. Fang and whispered a few words. Mrs. Fang immediately said: "It turns out to be Mrs. Xu. Why, could it be Mr. Xu?"

Lian Qiuzhi felt sad and wiped away tears, "I'm not afraid of Mrs. Fang's jokes, and my husband doesn't know what big thing he committed in the court. Our whole family was imprisoned four days ago, and we still have black eyes. We don't know What happened."

"Alas." Mrs. Fang was helped to sit down by several women next to her. Compared to the other people in the Fang family who were crying and looking miserable, she was barely calm. It was just that she was frightened. Somewhat pale, "What's so funny about this? Isn't my Fang family also suffering from the consequences of being imprisoned now?"

"Mr. Fang plays a very important role in the court, and he is the late emperor's tutor. How could he-"

Old Mrs. Fang smiled bitterly, "Once the emperor, there are always ministers."

The rest didn't want to say more, obviously they were scrupulous.

Lian Qiuzhi said anxiously: "Mrs. Fang, there has been a lot of turmoil in the city recently. Do you know what the situation is like in the Xu family? This... whether it's life or death... should give us a family a sense of security."

Everyone looked at Mrs. Fang expectantly.

Even Xu Zhenying couldn't help but look over.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Old Mrs. Fang choked on the cold and damp air in the cell, and coughed until her face turned pale. The woman beside her quickly took out the pills and helped Old Mrs. Fang to take them. When the old lady was relieved, she held her hand. Chest, with a look of shame on his face, he said, "The old woman has long ignored the matter in the front yard. I have only heard a little bit about the matter in Xu's family, and I really don't know the details."
