Red makeup against the world

Chapter 888
Zhu Zihou's wife didn't understand why he made the decision to beg for bones amid such joy.

"Master, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children and grandchildren. The marriages of the youngest granddaughters have not yet been settled. When I return to my hometown, there is no good family."

After hearing his plan, Mrs. Zhu was very worried.

At home, Zhu Zihou didn't have the same old-fashioned feeling in the hall, he stared at him and said: "Woman, what do you know?"

"According to your plan, when will you marry a granddaughter and have a great-granddaughter?"

Mrs. Zhu was at a loss for words, she really intended to do so.The Zhu family has been proud and proud in Beijing for decades, and the female relatives of the aristocratic and powerful families also pay respect to her when they see her.

If you don't take advantage of this time to decide on the marriage of your descendants, when Emperor Qinglong takes back Zhu Zihou's authority, those people will not pay attention to the Zhu family.

But at home, Zhu Zihou has always said what he says.After he said that, Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to stop talking.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings." After all, they are old couples and old wives, so Zhu Zihou said a few more words: "You have to worry so much?"

"They don't live up to expectations. No matter how well married they are right now, they won't be able to stand up. In the end, it depends on each person's ability. When you and I die in a hundred years, if you close your eyes and kick your legs, can you manage it?"

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhu knew that he had made up her mind, so she didn't say any more.

……

In the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the prisoners are packed to the brim.In the prison that originally held only ten people, thirty people were squeezed into it alive.Not to mention sleeping, even leaning on it is difficult.

The temperature in the cell was unpleasant, dark and humid, plus the smell of defecation.When did these pampered old and young men in the past have suffered such hardships, they immediately complained.

It wasn't until the one hundred and eighty members of the Guan family were pulled out and beheaded two days ago that the cell was considered free.Those who remained were in constant panic, fearing that one day the butcher's knife would fall on their heads.

Emperor Qinglong issued an order, but the members of the Gao family and Cheng family did not know the news in prison.The jailers were impatient to deal with such criminals who were involved in the treasonous case, and they all stayed away.

In addition to celebrating the great victory in the Northland today, no one will pay attention to and control them.

The former son of the Marquis of Anping is now unkempt, and he can no longer see his previous demeanor.Most of the criminal evidence for their family's crimes was done by him to help the abolished prince.

Unexpectedly, from the dragon's merits, he didn't get it, but it reached the current situation?

He sat silently on the straw mat, his father had already been beheaded, and there was no need to think about the past glory of the Anping Marquis Mansion.What I want to think about now is how to save the lives of the whole family.

However, it is useless for him to think about it now.

As the night darkened, with the sound of chains rattling, a jailer opened the cell door and shouted, "Where is Cheng Jinghao? Come out!"

Cheng Jinghao huddled in the corner and was at a loss.Some time ago, he was still worried that the people who used to hang out with him in Beijing no longer called him.Now, she is locked up here, her future is uncertain.

This made him really unable to react.

Hearing someone call his name, he walked over reflexively and replied, "I'm here."

The jailer glanced at him impatiently, shackled his hands, and ordered: "Follow me."

When he got to the outside room, the jailer locked him aside, and went out to negotiate with people by himself.Cheng Jinghao stood in the darkness, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

With so many people, why did they only call themselves out?Could it be that the people I offended in the past came to seek revenge now that I was down and out?
However, after thinking about it, he didn't feel that he had such an enemy.

In the outside room, the jailer changed his impatience towards Cheng Jinghao, nodded and bowed, and said, "Master, I have brought out the person you want."

Liu Qiran held a horsewhip inlaid with gold and jade in his hand, and stood behind his back.Jail guards are cheap, he just nodded his head to show that he knew, and he had a high right to negotiate with him.

Gao Yi took a letter of silver and stuffed it into the jailer's arms, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

The jailer repeatedly apologized, and said, "It's not a hard job. As long as the son remembers, it's enough to return the person before leaving." When he was imprisoned, they were all registered.When the time comes, you will see people when you live, and you will see corpses when you die.

This group of criminals will be exiled for three thousand miles, but where they go will have to wait for the verdict issued by the minister of punishment.

However, even the original Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was imprisoned, and all the matters were piled on Quan Moxian's head alone.Naturally, he wanted to be busy with more urgent matters, and he couldn't take care of these prisoners right now.

That's why the jailer dared to hand over the man to Liu Qiran in private.

Liu Qiran nodded as a promise.

He was the first to get out of the house and got on his horse. Gao Yi led Cheng Jinghao into a dilapidated donkey cart.

Gao Yi is Liu Qiran's long-term follower, Cheng Jinghao saw him, why didn't he understand that it was Liu Qiran who wanted to trouble him?Just as he was about to beg for mercy, Gao Yi took a rag and gagged his mouth, making it difficult for him to hum.

A horse and a cart passed by the crowd celebrating the victory, entered Nantong Lane, and stopped in front of the Longyang Pavilion.

Gao Yi pulled Cheng Jinghao from the carriage, and tore off the rag that blocked his mouth.Liu Qiran got off the horse and looked at him with cold eyes.

Cheng Jinghao staggered, and when he saw the surrounding scenery clearly, the hairs all over his body stood on end.

He scrambled and crawled to Liu Qiran's feet, and repeatedly admitted his mistakes: "My lord, it's my fault. Please let me go."

"Look, I'm so unlucky, the Cheng family is ruined. Please remember the past and let me go." At this time, Cheng Jinghao didn't have any face, so he just begged not to enter this place.

Liu Qiran looked at him condescendingly, unmoved.

"What did I say that day? I told you to try, and you really tried?" Patting his cheek with a horsewhip, Liu Qiran said disdainfully: "I have no skills, and I want to obey others. You don't want to piss and look at yourself." , what is it!"

He really looked down on Cheng Jinghao.

Even among the dandies, he is also the least famous among them.Fighting is not ruthless enough, and at the critical moment, he can't bear to lose face.It's just relying on the lingering shadow left by the ancestors to live in a daze.

"Yes, yes, yes! What the Master taught me is that I'm not a thing! You shouldn't argue with people like me, you don't have to lower your status."

Liu Qiran laughed dumbfounded, and said: "I can't see it, but you are quick to accept softness at this time."

Seeing him smile, Cheng Jinghao heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled apologetically, "I was wrong. Your lord has a lot of people, so naturally you won't care about people like me."

At this time, he was clever enough to block Liu Qiran with words.

It's a pity, since Liu Qiran was once called the devil of the world, how could he be caught by his simple words.
