After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 82
In order to find a way out for himself, Li Langzhong had been reading books hard while his brothers were fighting with others and comparing wealth.

Although the Hou family does not expect their descendants to take the imperial examination and become officials, they still attach great importance to the education of the next generation.

Several teachers in the mansion are well-educated people. In addition to teaching the children and grandchildren of the current Anqing Hou, they also teach the children of the relatives of the princes and relatives of the princes.

Mr. Li mingled with his brothers, cousins, and cousins, and studied diligently for seventeen or eight years, and also hid his incompetence for seventeen or eighty years.

It wasn't until he came down to take the exam and passed the examination from Baishen to Jinshi as quickly as possible that everyone in the prince's family looked at him differently.

His cousins ​​of the same generation and the servants of the house, their attitude towards him ranged from contempt and ridicule to politeness. His aunt's mother and his brothers who originally had a higher status in the house, their attitude towards him varied from contempt to ridicule. Often ignoring him and occasionally bullying him turned into monitoring and suppressing him.

His aunt married him to the daughter of a minor official, who was of no help to his career and had a very soft and easy-to-manipulate character. She persuaded his father to separate all the married concubines, including him.

Of course, the reason for dividing them up was just to make the Hou Mansion look better. In fact, each of them, the bastards who were kicked out, only got a small village and a small house.

As an unfavored little transparent bastard, Li Langzhong got the worst Zhuangzi and Zhaizi among all the brothers.

However, compared to his useless but favored brothers, his father and aunt had much more demands on him.

After being an official for more than ten years, he himself couldn't remember how many things he had done for the Marquis and his brother-in-law, how many messes he had cleaned up for other concubine brothers, and how many scapegoats he had taken.

But even so, his father and aunt still refused to let him and his family go. He, his wife and children would be called over from time to time by the Marquis Mansion, and they would be humiliated and beaten in the name of admonishment. .

In order to add more trouble to their little family, his aunt even tried to give him concubines and maids to his wife more than once.

Their home is like a leaky sieve, let alone hiding any privacy. Even if something suddenly appears in the home one day, they will not be able to discover it immediately.

Li Langzhong was unable to change the current situation, so he could only comfort himself by deceiving himself. It would be fine if his biological father and aunt passed away, and their family would be able to relax a little.

However, what is regrettable is that what he endured over and over again was not that he would be able to see the moon again one day, but that his second brother and his current Shangguan jointly framed him.

His second brother relied on the family's legacy to become a doctor in the Ministry of Industry.

Although they are both doctors, the doctor from the Ministry of Household and the doctor from the Ministry of Works have slightly different weights in the court.

Because of this, Langzhong Li's second brother disliked him very much. With the help of Langzhong's aunt's mother's nephew, Langzhong Li's second brother hooked up with Langzhong's current Shangguan.

It happened that Langzhong Li's current Shangguan, Shilang Han, needed an unlucky guy who would take the blame for the missing disaster relief grain case, so Langzhong Li was chosen because of their hit-and-run.

His immediate boss, Shilang Han, was responsible for providing strong evidence such as account books, letters, gold and silver, etc., while his second brother was responsible for smuggling things out at the right time through the servants placed in Langzhong Li's house by Mrs. Hou. Go to Li Langzhong's house so that the people who come to search can come and seize the stolen goods alone.When Yu Zizhen received the mission, Li Langzhong had just been selected by Han Shilang as the scapegoat for the missing disaster relief grain case. Strong evidence such as account books, letters, gold and silver had not yet surfaced at that time.

Yu Zizhen didn't want to alert the enemy, so he didn't openly contact Mr. Li, who was always picky about everything around him.

It wasn't until Han Shilang took out the key evidence in the missing disaster relief grain case and gave part of it to Li Langzhong's second brother for frame-up purposes that Yu Zizhen became enthusiastic about this last short-term mission.

In the plot of the original book, Langzhong Li knew nothing about being framed. He was still confused until the servants in his family had "uneasy consciences and mustered up the courage to report on his master" and Langzhong Li and his family were imprisoned. I couldn't recall it.

The person who framed the case was well prepared, and the officials responsible for hearing the case, some of whom had benefited from the case of missing grain relief, naturally had to cover up the accomplices. Therefore, Langzhong Li was quickly convicted because of the "irrefutable evidence." .

After being convicted, his family property was confiscated and he and his adult son were waiting to be beheaded. His wife and daughter were put into the Jiaofangsi as official prostitutes, and his second son and younger son who were still underage were sentenced to death. He was exiled to the army.

On the contrary, when the concubines and servants arranged by Madam Hou were sold by the government, Madam Hou sent people to buy them back quietly.

Of course, Mrs. Hou didn't buy them to save them. She just didn't want these people who knew a little bit of the inside story to go out and talk nonsense.

After Li Langzhong and his eldest son were beheaded, his wife and daughter committed suicide in prison, and his second son and younger son died in exile, those servants who had reported on the master's family because of "uneasy conscience", and those who had been Li The women in the husband's concubines all died quietly and one after another in various ways in Mrs. Hou's dowry village.

Their family was almost wiped out from master to servant, but the rest of the Hou family was hardly affected by the missing disaster relief food case.

According to a systematic view, the imperial court of Da Qi is now in decline and is in a state of comprehensive decay. The degree of darkness in the officialdom is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Corrupt officials actually live better and live longer than virtuous and capable officials.

In other words, there are quite a few people like Mr. Li who suddenly have a blame thrown from the sky, ending their career and even the lives of their entire family.

This is certainly not a good thing for the survival of the Da Qi court, but for Yu Zizhen, who relies on points to exchange for various good things, the more cannon fodder she can get, the more points she can get, so she would rather the system Can she be given a few more cannon fodder rescue missions?

"Those who have been brought back by Mr. Li, the second brother, will be transferred to Mr. Li's house sooner or later. I will just go and replace them at that time."

Compared with his second brother's house, the defense at Li Langzhong's place was more relaxed, so it would obviously be easier for Yu Zizhen to do anything.

"As for the share that Mr. Han keeps for himself, wait until the next time I have a rest. I will find a way to sneak into his house and smuggle the things out."

Anyway, she has the "disguise" skill that can transform into a living person, so it's very convenient when she wants to steal something.
