From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 214
Zongzheng Mingzhen didn't answer, but asked him blankly: "If your daughter-in-law steals someone, do you think you know or don't know?"

"Of course I know, my daughter-in-law sleeps together every day, how can I not even know this?" If you don't even know this, is it still a man?

Suddenly realized, Zichen said: "Master Hou, you mean that Prince Liang knew about it long ago? That's not right, since he knew about it long ago, why didn't he have an attack? Besides, he also let the two have a child, and the family property was emptied. "

It was really puzzling, and Zi Chen really couldn't figure it out.And if it was his wife who stole someone, he promised to break his third leg and make him a eunuch.

If it was Zongzheng Mingzhen from the previous life, he would naturally be as puzzled as Zi Chen, but after getting in touch with Mei Xin, he found that the Mei Zhannan that others said and the Mei Zhannan he knew was not the real Mei Zhannan, the two were completely different. the same person.

Just like Mei Xin, she is much, much smarter than he imagined, and she is not an inflexible person at all.On the contrary, being able to bend and stretch, to be a man, to be a little woman, should show weakness in front of the emperor, be tough when it should be tough, and know how to negotiate terms so that the emperor can rest assured, this is completely beyond his imagination.

Not intending to tell Zichen that he guessed it, Zongzheng Mingzhen glanced at him and said, "I'm not him, how do I know what he thinks. Okay, don't guess, there's a fight in the yard, let's go have a look."

After finishing speaking, Zongzheng Mingzhen got up and put down the teacup and went out with great interest.

Confused for a moment, Zi Chen looked into the yard and saw a few women fighting.They were scratching their hair and tearing their clothes, and they were still talking plausibly, as if they were swearing, the scene was quite intense.

He doesn't like to watch the excitement very much, but it's rare that Zongzheng Mingzhen is interested, so Zichen followed him.It was only after inquiring that these women were the concubines of King Huai of Chu, and they chased them out one by one because they moved their things from the house.You talk to each other, see things or go back, one of them picks up trouble again, accuses Sang, scolds Huai, sneers, and fights when they disagree.

I heard before that there are groups of concubines in Chu Huai Wang's mansion, there are no rules, and every day they perform all kinds of martial arts. Seeing them today is really eye-opening and amazing.

It has to be said that King Huai of Chu has a very strong taste, and he will go to any kind of woman.All of them are either as thin as hemp sticks, or they are fat and thick. They are really "round fat, swallows and thin".

After all, it's a woman from the inner courtyard, even if it's a concubine, as an outsider, it's not easy for him to interfere.However, fortunately, this is the outer courtyard, so it's not his fault if you look at it.

Zi Chen had never seen women fight, and seeing them tearing and biting like crazy women, he couldn't help but smacked his tongue and said, "Master Hou, these are probably concubines, this is too fierce. Look and see Grabbing and scratching, tsk tsk..."

Cheng Ye, who had heard the news and rushed over, ordered someone to pull them away.

Seeing them all disheveled and disheveled, his face turned blue with anger.Seeing Zongzheng Mingzhen and his entourage looking at it with great interest, he felt that they had completely humiliated Chuhuai Palace.

Unbearable in anger, Cheng Ye reprimanded them severely and then ordered: "Come here, pull them all down and beat them to death with sticks. Whoever dares to intercede and resist will be dealt with together."

Ever since I can remember, the palace has been in a mess. In the past, he couldn't intervene or manage it. Now that we have the opportunity, we must kill a few to make an example.Of course, the main purpose is to establish prestige and deter everyone in the mansion.

Turned pale with shock, the concubines froze for an instant, but before they could react, a few government soldiers dragged them down.

The servant girls and servants standing in the yard were all shocked, boosed each other, and knelt down and said, "My lord, calm down!"

Looking around and glancing at them coldly, Cheng Ye said with a rage all over his body: "Keep looking, and if you find it, send it over as soon as you find it. Anyone who dares to resist the order will be dragged down and beaten to death with sticks."

Pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner, the emperor's order must not be disobeyed, and disobedience to the order is also a serious crime for punishing the nine clans.Now let alone these concubines, if the two side concubines dared to make trouble, he would also dare to kill them.

Everyone dispersed immediately after listening to the order, and rushed into the various rooms in the backyard to look for things.

Zongzheng Mingzhen knew that Cheng Ye was a smart person, so he couldn't help laughing when he saw this posture.He stepped forward and said: "In order to deceive others, the emperor asked me to deliver the things after dark. Don't worry, there is plenty of time, so take your time."

After bowing his hands and saluting, Cheng Ye smiled wryly and said, "I made Hou Ye laugh at me!"

"Who doesn't have a bit of a bad heart, what's not to laugh. Don't worry, I'm not a gossip, I won't gossip. However, your house is too messy, and the concubines dare to run away Come to the front yard, and fight in front of me, an outsider, without hesitation, if the emperor finds out, he will probably reprimand the prince again." As the queen's younger brother, the emperor's brother-in-law, celebrity, Zong Zheng Mingzhen's reputation in the capital is excellent, and his conduct is also good.

Of course, this is mainly due to his mother, no matter where she goes, she praises her son like a flower.In addition, he has always kept himself clean and his mother has a good personality. There are countless ladies in the capital who want to marry him.

These words undoubtedly touched Cheng Ye's heart, and he said helplessly: "My son will not say anything about his father's faults, thank you, Lord Hou!"

Family ugliness should not be publicized. Since Zongzheng Mingzhen took the initiative to say that he would not speak out, then he is not worried about what happened today.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, and probably couldn't come up with anything useful, Zongzheng Mingzhen stared at the five big boxes on the ground and said, "What's in the boxes, is it Lu's dowry?"

Bending down to open the boxes one by one, Cheng Ye replied: "As far as my second brother knows, Lu's dowry has been sold long ago, and these belong to Prince Liang's Mansion. Lord Marquis, I will try my best to collect what I can, but There is really nothing in the mansion that I can do nothing about, and I may not be able to buy exactly the same ones when I go out to buy them. Therefore, I also ask Lord Hou to tell His Majesty, if we can ask Prince Liang’s mansion to offer a price for the remaining items, we will pay for them in silver."

Zongzheng Mingzhen frowned slightly and nodded, but he didn't guarantee that the emperor would agree, he just said: "I will tell the emperor, and I will tell them when I go to Liang Palace at night. If they agree, even if they want to come to the emperor, they will not." be opposed to."

Except for Lu's dowry, they are all gifts from the imperial court, which are invaluable and cannot be paid for with silver.Since they can all return it, then Lu's dowry can be paid with silver, but I don't know if Mei Xin will agree.

Cheng Ye was very grateful, and then he opened the ledger and checked the contents of the box one by one.After confirming that it was something from Prince Liang's Mansion, he told Zongzheng Mingzhen to put a check mark on the ledger to show that the things matched.
