Chapter 82

Zhuo Qihua smiled lightly, and sneered: "Master Hou, why is it that you have found a witchcraft to harm people in the Hou's mansion, which makes Madam quite happy?"

He didn't mention it, but others didn't pay attention to it. As soon as he said it, everyone cast their eyes on Lian Shi, and Lian Shi's smile that he didn't have time to restrain was caught in everyone's eyes.

Zhuo Lingyun's eyes were slightly cold, this Lian family is usually very shrewd, why has Tao Hanrui become more and more stupid since Tao Hanrui got engaged to him?

Fortunately, he had already made preparations, otherwise it would be his misfortune to let him marry Tao Hanrui and have such a stupid mother-in-law!
Speaking of which, Tao Zhijian is more suitable to be his concubine, she is smart and has a strange mind, and without the burden of her natal relatives, even if she becomes the throne in the future, she does not have to worry about the monopoly of her relatives.

What moved him the most was that Feng Muen was about to seize military power, which to him was like a timely help.

It's just that Tao Zhijian doesn't seem to be very close to him, maybe it's her way of refusing to welcome him, maybe it's true, but no matter what, he still has to make a good move.

It happened to be able to use this to hit the Lian family and make Lian's sense of crisis more, so that he could get more benefits from the Lian family.

Thinking of this, he also said with a gloomy face: "Master Tao, this witchcraft is expressly forbidden by the emperor. You also know how many people died in the palace because of witchcraft. It is up to Lord Tao. Give us an explanation, so that we can truthfully report back to Father!"

Tao Juzheng's heart skipped a beat, he hated this person who used witchcraft to harm people, and Lian Shi was so overjoyed, he was really mad at him.

He said angrily, "Lian Shi! What's going on here?"

Lian quickly revealed a look of sincerity and said: "I was at fault. I was indeed negligent and didn't manage the back house well, which made the sinister people want to harm others! But don't worry, Lord Hou, I will definitely give everyone an explanation, and I will definitely I will find out the person who used witchcraft to harm people, and give the emperor an explanation!"

Taoju just snorted, "Why don't you investigate quickly?"

Turning to Zhuo Lingyi and the others, he said with a smile: "How about the prince, how about the fourth prince and the eldest son go to the hall with me to rest? Let Lian take care of it here!"

Zhuo Qihua said in a strange way: "This is not allowed. If we leave, Mrs. Hou Ye will just choose someone to take the blame, wouldn't that let the really vicious person escape?"

Tao Minzheng was slightly suffocated, Lian Shi could really do this, of course, even if Lian Shi didn't do it, he would do it, after all, someone has to bear the crime, right?
Thinking this way in his heart, he said cautiously on his face: "Your Majesty, you are really joking. Is this Marquis such a deceitful person? Isn't that the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"It's good that you understand. I hope that Lord Hou won't be soft-hearted after catching that prisoner."

Tao Juzheng's face turned serious and he said: "How is it possible? This Marquis hates that person to the core and will never forgive him lightly!"

Zhuo Qihua smiled lightly and stopped talking.

At this time Shen Momo screamed: "Madam, this silk figure... this silk figure..."

Having said that, he quickly covered his lips, looked at Tao Zhizhang worriedly, and then looked at Zhuo Lingyi and the others.

This look falls on everyone's eyes, even a fool knows what's going on!Doesn't this mean that Shen Momo found the source from the silk figurine, and this source must be related to Tao Zhijian!
Zhuo Lingyi's gentle and elegant eyes fell on Tao Zhizhi's body, seeing her as light as the wind, as quiet as water, standing gracefully between the heaven and the earth, especially with a mocking smile on her lips, as if the heaven and the earth Under her control, his heart instantly blurred.

He smiled gracefully, like a jade like a pearl.

A gust of wind blows, the sleeves of the clothes flutter, the white clothes are better than the snow, like a fairy coming to the world.

Zhuo Lingyun glanced at Tao Zhijian in surprise, feeling a little anxious in his heart. Could it be that Tao Zhijian didn't make arrangements?Did people recognize this silk cloth?In this way, Momozhisao is not as smart as he imagined!

For a while, he wavered again about whether he wanted Natao Zhijian to be his concubine.

Zhuo Qihua's eyes were slightly deep, and from the performance of Zhuo Lingyi and Zhuo Lingyun, Zhuo Lingyun was obviously nothing to worry about, but Zhuo Lingyi's performance was too deep.

What made him even more angry was that Zhuo Lingyi seemed to have really coveted Tao Zhijian!

You must know that Zhuo Lingyi is watching from the sidelines with such a calm expression. There are only two possibilities. One is to believe in Tao Zhijian's methods, and the second is to see Tao Zhijian's ability to adapt, so as to test whether Tao Zhijian has the ability Be his crown princess, even the future mother of the country.

Hmph, is he someone they can think of?

The sneer in his eyes got bigger.

At this time, Tao Juzheng frowned, and could only bite the bullet and reprimanded: "Sister Shen, what do you mean by faltering? Tell me! What happened!"

Shen Momo looked at the nobles in embarrassment, but hesitated to speak.

Momozhisu sneered, it was really disgusting for her to make such a pretentious gesture despite clearly intending to frame her.

Immediately, he only said: "Mother Shen, Daddy asked you something, just say what you have to say! It's really petty to be so expectant in front of so many nobles!"

Mother Shen blushed and became angry at the words, didn't she refer to Sang and scold Huai, scolding her for not being able to stand up in the world?

Shen Momo was not polite at the moment, she handed the silk figurine to Tao Ju Zhengdao: "Master Hou, please take a look."

Tao Juzheng saw that the silk puppet was full of silver needles, and there was a gloomy and cold light in the densely packed sunlight. Seeing this, a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.

What's even more hateful is that there is a piece of yellow paper between the silk doll and the needle, which turns out to be the old lady Fang's birthday!

"This is the horoscope of the old lady's birthday!" Mother Chen exclaimed when she saw it, and said anxiously: "Master Hou, you must save the old lady! What can we do? Woohoo, no wonder the old lady is so good Lost consciousness, it turned out that this kind of ghost thing was doing it, woohoo, Lord Hou, this time this ghost thing hurt the old lady, what if it hurts other masters in the mansion next time? "

Tao Juzheng was already scared in his heart, but now that Nanny Chen said this, he felt even more irritable, and immediately said with a livid face: "Okay, don't talk about it, this Marquis must catch the person behind this scene, and never Forgive me!"

Lian immediately beat the snake with the stick and said: "Master Hou, the person who can do this is definitely not an ordinary person in the Hou family, maybe he is the master!"

Tao Juzheng said harshly: "No matter who the country is, it will be punished by the law!"

Lian smiled sinisterly.

At this time Shen Momo hurriedly said: "Master Hou, this silk figurine seems to be the embroidering skill of Second Miss, why don't you ask Second Miss if she ever embroidered this silk doll and was taken away when she was playing with it!"

This is said to defend Momozhijuan, but in fact it is determined that this puppet is embroidered by Momozhijuan. What is said to be played with an embroidered silk doll? This silk doll is not a toy at first glance. It looks so fierce Possibly for fun? "

Tao Juzheng was stunned for a moment, then said angrily to Tao Zhifang, "Second girl, tell me what's going on!"

Taozhizhang took the silk puppet calmly, looked left and right, and then said with a smile: "Good embroidery skills!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces twitched. Isn't this too literal?Now I'm asking her why the silk puppet she embroidered is under the locust tree. Who asked her about her embroidery skills?

Zhuo Qihua's eyes shone like broken stars, and he looked at Peach Tree with pride.

"This silk is made of Yunjintian silk from the palace, and this thread is made of imperial gold thread. Even this stitch is made of double-sided embroidery made by the imperial embroidery spun in the palace. It is really ingenious, Dad, Do you see it?"

There was a black line on Tao Juzheng's forehead, and he said displeasedly: "Benhou didn't ask you what kind of material and thread you used for this silk figurine, let alone your embroidery skills! I want to know if you embroidered it! "

Tao Zhiyan raised his eyes, and looked at Tao Juzheng with grievance: "Don't you believe in your daughter?"

Seeing Tao Zhizun's tearful eyes, as cute as rain hitting plantains, gradually coincided with Feng's face in his mind.

A lewd look flashed in his eyes, and his voice became softer: "It's not that daddy doesn't believe you, but that you have to give a reasonable reason in front of the prince, prince, and son, otherwise even daddy can't guarantee you, right?" ? Think about it carefully, is this silk man embroidered by someone in your room?"

What he meant by his words was to let Tao Zhizhi pass the blame on to others, but it also subconsciously showed that he also believed that the silk man was embroidered by Tao Zhifang.

Tao Zhizhang said quietly: "What Daddy said, there is only Luqiao and an old lady who is the gatekeeper in my room. If Luqiao doesn't like it, how can the female worker embroider this thing?"

Tao Juzheng felt annoyed in his heart, thinking how could this daughter who was usually so clever become so stupid now?
Zhuo Lingyi said: "Second miss, I heard you say that just now, and I remember that there are not many Yunjintian silk in this palace, and there are not enough concubines in the palace. I gave a horse to the Hou Mansion when I was with Princess Tao, and I can find out who took the silk in the Hou Mansion."

Lian Shi was startled, and looked at the silk figurine with her extreme eyes. She was shocked when she saw it. Because the silk figurine was small and the color of the pattern was similar to the one she embroidered, she never realized that the silk figurine was made of the same material as the silk figurine. She uses a different material!
For a while, she stood there blankly, staring at the silk figure, trembling all over.

After hearing this, Tao Juzheng hurriedly said: "What the crown prince said is very true, come and find out if the Yunjintian silk given by the emperor is still there!"

The manager winked at the servant, and after a while, the servant ran over holding the booklet.

The manager glanced at it and said: "Master Hou, the imperial gift of Yunjintian silk was distributed to the second lady. Look, there is still a tent here!"

Taoju opened it and looked, complex expressions appeared in his eyes.

And Zhuo Lingyi also looked at Tao Zhijian in surprise.

Tao Zhijuan smiled slightly and said, "Madam treated me really well. You can give me the silkworm silk that you bestowed on eldest sister to me, who is still outside the village. After all, there is really no one like Madam in the whole world." A virtuous person."

There was a hint of doubt in Tao Juzheng's eyes.

Tao Zhizhang casually walked in front of Tao Juzheng, stretched out his fingers, elegant and noble, picked up the account book and looked at it, then laughed: "Father, I didn't expect that our Marquis Mansion can still be more than human." Come out, the ink that was just written on it has become old!"

"What?" Tao Ju was furious.As the lord of a mansion, how can he tolerate being deceived by others?

"Look, Dad!" Tao Zhizhang said confidently, "Do you think the color of this piece of paper is different from other papers? It seems to be older?"

Tao Juzheng looked at the paper up to the light for a while, then nodded and said: "If you don't put it in the sun, you really can't see it. This piece of paper is indeed much older than the one in front and the one behind it."

"Yes, this is a typical way of making old. There are two ways to make old, one is called direct dyeing method, and the other is called fumigated dyeing method. Put the tea on the paper and paint it again so that the tea color is completely immersed in the paper. On this basis, spray it with diluted edible vinegar to make the color evenly absorbed by the paper. Do this for many times and leave it for a while Finally, the color of the paper turns yellow, and after a period of time, the color of the paper is slightly gray in the yellow. It looks like old paper. The dyeing method is to put the paper in a relatively closed room after the things are done. Use, use the smoke from coconut shells or incense to smoke. After many days of smoking, the paper will show a light brown color.

This piece of paper is obviously dyed by direct dyeing method, and because Yucitian silk is only half a year old, so it doesn’t need to be soaked for too much time, and there is very little spraying of vinegar. Here it comes.

Dad, look, is this paper a little wrinkled compared to other papers?This is caused by quick drying after getting wet. "

Tao Juzheng leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, he kicked that servant fiercely, scolding: "You bastard, how dare you frame the second lady! Say, who gave you the courage! "

The servant fell to the ground in pain, and said with a mournful face: "Master Hou, please forgive me, this servant doesn't know, this servant just went to get the treasury book, and I don't know anything else."

"Let all the people in the warehouse come over to this Marquis!"

After a while, all the people who came to the warehouse kept their heads down and did not speak. After asking for a long time, the only thing they said was three words, "I don't know."

Tao Juzheng was so angry that he wanted to drag them down to beat the board immediately, but this group of people was dragged down with determination and did not make a sound.

Tao Zhizhang smiled sarcastically, and looked at the calm manager with cold eyes. If it was said that Lian could train these subordinates so well, she would not believe it. Only the manager made people feel a little unpredictable .

"Wait!"

A voice broke through Yunxiao like a phoenix from nine heavens, stopping the beating of these servants.

Everyone's eyes turned to the place where the voice came from. At that moment, Tao Zhi's clothes fluttered in the wind, her plain skirt fluttered, and her momentum was overwhelming.

Zhuo Lingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a fiery light flashed across them.

And Zhuo Lingyun's eyes were wild, almost intoxicated.

Tao Juzheng even forgot that this girl was his own daughter, showing an ugly expression of coveting.

Only Zhuo Qihua looked at her with admiring, admiring, and pampering eyes, and his eyes moved with her movement...

Lian stared at her with hatred, wishing to see some holes in her body, while Tao Hanrui smiled inexplicably.

As for Tao Qiwu's gaze, it was almost comparable to a poisonous arrow. If it was a real arrow, it would have shot Tao Zhijian into a hedgehog.

After doing it, people looked at Momozhizao with expectant eyes...

It's just that when they heard Momozhisao's words, they all collapsed on the ground in an instant.

"Daddy, my daughter accidentally saw a way to make people tell the truth. I don't know if Daddy is interested in watching it?"

"Oh? What can I do?" Tao Juzheng lost his eyes and immediately became serious.

"Cooking!" She smiled sweetly, her red lips slightly parted, and words that made countless men flock to them spit out words that made people flicker.

"Cooking? What is that? The Marquis has never heard of it!"

Naturally, Tao Juzheng had never heard of it, he was originally a civil servant, and even more so, he was not in charge of a prison, so it was very strange to hear.

The faces of Zhuo Lingyi and Zhuo Lingyun changed slightly. As children of the royal family, although they had never heard of it, they always felt that it was not a good thing as the name suggests.

The manager's face changed drastically, and he looked at the girl under the age of 12 in disbelief, and couldn't believe that such cruel words came from her mouth.

Yes, Tao Zhizhi did it on purpose, her mother has been righted up, she is a legal daughter, in order to rectify Feng's name, in order to let Yuanzhi have a good environment to grow, she doesn't mind being a villain, come to eliminate This dirty Hou's mansion!Clear all obstacles!

This is also the reason why she resorted to tricks, just to cut off Lian's wings and swallow up Lian's power step by step. !
Smiling slightly, with a leisurely voice, it is better than strolling in a garden, or looking at flowers and scenery, with an enviable expression, but he spits out completely different words from his small mouth: "The so-called cooking is nothing more than using a big urn. There are red-hot charcoal fires piled up all around, and then the prisoner is put in! It's that simple, is Daddy willing to let them have a try?"

but!That's all!give it a try!
Listen to this, how easy it is to say it, as if it is not human life, as if it is just talking about the weather!

Give it a try!
Can this be tried?It's a dead word to try it!
The servants who were as tough as iron just now burst into tears one by one, shouting: "Master Hou, spare your life, Master Hou, you are wronged!"

Taoju was annoyed by their shouting for a while, and he also wanted to try how it feels to cook, so he said coldly: "Come here, prepare the big pot!"

Seeing that Taoju was coming for real, someone immediately shouted: "Master Hou, don't use the punishment, I'm recruiting by a slave, I'm recruiting by a slave!"

Taoju is staring at these servants coldly, it's really against the sky, let them talk about it, and now they are afraid that they will be boiled and recruited!What a bitch!

But these people can't use it anymore!He dared to play here in front of him in a daze, and he might not know how to deceive him in the future!

"Master Hou, it's the second son. It's the second son who came to the warehouse and said that the servants didn't know what the master asked. The slaves shouldn't have listened to the second son to deceive the master!"

Zhuo Qihua burst into a smile: "Master Hou, your house really opened my eyes. First, it was the art of witchcraft, but now a servant speaks with more authority than you. It's really unbelievable!"

Tao Juzheng was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head, and he hated Lian Shi even more. If it wasn't for Lian Shi, how could he lose face in front of the princes!
It's all Lian's poor management!

Immediately, he became angry and said: "Come here, pull these servants down and give Benhou a hard beat! Then sell them all to Benhou!"

"Master Hou, please forgive me, this slave will never dare again!"

A group of servants were crying for their father and mother, but they were finally dragged down.

At this time, Taoju was walking up to the servant who was kicked over by him just now, looking at him with a ferocious face, suddenly...

He raised his foot and stepped on Xiao Erzi's finger fiercely!
"Ah!" Xiao Erzi uttered a miserable scream, then rolled his eyes and died.

Tao Juzheng was startled, he raised his foot in disbelief, looked and looked, he couldn't believe that he had feet and trampled someone to death, when did he have martial arts?
