Empress Chu

"In other words, no one dares to investigate." He didn't question, reprimand, let alone shout angrily to confront, but asked with a smile, "Is Master Zhu going to say that?"

Zhu Yong looked at him: "So, Master Wei admitted it?"

Grandpa Wei waved his hand: "We don't care if it's true or not. I know that if the guards want to investigate, there are thousands of ways to investigate. I can't stand the investigation even with my old bones."

He looked at Zhu Yong.

"But before you check, I want to ask a question first."

"Isn't it good now?"

These words sounded endless, but Zhu Yong understood what he meant and opened his mouth to answer.

Grandpa Wei interrupted him again, and smiled softly, yet arrogantly.

"Master Zhu, you are not qualified to answer this matter." He said, "You have to ask the queen."

……

……

The secret letter from the Arch Guard Division was quickly delivered to the capital.

Chu Zhao sat by the window, looked at the clear sunlight, and sighed softly.

"It seems that people are not afraid of me at all." She said, and smiled again, "Yes, I have nothing to be afraid of."

Chapter 86 and go

Isn't the Empress not scary?

Ding Dachui stood aside and thought, but now he is not the bandit who only knows how to hunt, and it is not a good thing to say that the empress is scary at this time.

When someone can say.

Ale came over with tea and heard this sentence, he was puzzled and displeased: "Why is your empress belittled? The empress is very scary! Who doesn't believe it, let him ask the father and son of Zhongshan King, ask Xiliang King's soldiers and horses!"

Chu Zhao laughed, and looked away from the window: "Ah Le is right." She reached out to pick up a letter from the desk case, "You came just in time, here is a letter, send it to Ah Jiu."

I wrote a letter to Ah Jiu again, I haven't replied to the last letter, Ah Le pouted: "It seems that what I said is wrong, I should wait for Ah Jiu to say it."

Even though she said that, she immediately went out with the letter. Ah Jiu's matter was confidential, so she pulled Xiao Man who was standing at the door and whispered.

"Empress." Ding Dachui saw that Chu Zhao's mood had eased, so he said, "Master Zhu means, do you want to wait?"

When Zhu Yong sent the letter back, he also asked his cronies to explain to him in private. It was very simple and straightforward. The Wei family did kill people, but the purpose was to stir up the people to fight against the rebels, and then Han County was broken from the inside. The influence was not limited to Han County, and the surrounding counties also rebelled one after another. The Queen's army was so powerful that they defeated Xiao Xun's rebel army at the fastest speed at the lowest cost.

Now that the situation is stable, the empress is going to question the Wei family, fearing that it will cause chaos in the aristocratic family.

After Ding Dachui heard this, he felt a bit chilly in his head. As the commander of the guards these days, he thought that he was used to all kinds of secretive actions of officials, and felt that it would not be wrong to just pick out any official and kill him in the street.

But this thing—

He knew it was wrong, but he didn't know whether to say it was wrong, he didn't know what to do.

No matter what to do, it's not right.

Even Zhu Yong said tactfully to wait, which shows that things are not easy to handle.

Being a queen is not easy, Ding Dachui sighed inwardly.

Chu Zhao didn't have any trouble, and shook his head directly: "No need to wait, if you can't find out the case, you can wait. Since there is already a sue, what are you waiting for?"

Ding Dachui looked at her: "But, Master Zhu said——"

"Don't care about what Master Zhu said." Chu Zhao interrupted him, "Didn't Mrs. Wei say it? Let me ask you what to say first. Of course, I know that Master Zhu is thinking of this palace, but he is an official. Think about it, but I want to think about it as a queen."

Ding Dachui replied yes, waiting for Chu Zhao to continue.

"The Wei family seems right to do this, and it seems right from the perspective of the court's overall situation." Chu Zhao said, "But in fact, he is sophistrying."

She looked at Ding Dahui.

"He came to ask me now, why didn't he ask Ben Gong before he did it?"

Having said that, he smiled again.

"I know, maybe he will say that he didn't ask me at that time because he didn't want to let Ben Gong fall into injustice, so he did evil things."

"But they come to ask Ben Gong now, isn't it a threat?"

Ding Dachui nodded, suddenly realized: "That's right."

"I keep saying it's for Ben Gong and Da Xia." Chu Zhao sneered, "Actually it's for myself, but I want Da Xia to be a scapegoat for them."

Ding Dachui said loudly: "That's it! Their Wei family came up with this idea!"

"So." Chu Zhao sat up straight and called for someone to come, "Take the jade seal."

The servants came in, spread out the scroll, watched Chu Zhao pick up the pen, and stamped the jade seal on it.

"Master Ding, accept the order." She said.

Ding Dahui leaned over to answer, waiting for the servant to put the imperial decree in his hands, and he saw that there was only one word on the unfolded scroll.

check.

"I have fought all the way from the imperial city to the chaos in Xiliang, and then to King Zhongshan's father and son." Chu Zhao said, "Are you afraid that a mere question will hurt their hearts? Could it be that in order not to make them sad, Let the hearts of the people be broken?"

This big summer and the people are not playthings in your hands.

She looked at Ding Dahui.

"Sledgehammer, you can do this yourself."

That's why she said so much to Ding Dahui, just to make him understand, and only when he understands can he stand upright over there.

Zhu Yong is very good, but he comes from an orthodox official background, and Ding Dahui, who has not read so many books and doesn't know so many truths, is more suitable for this job--I don't care about your reasons or interests, killing people pays for their lives.

Ding Dachui said loudly: "I obey the order." After saying that, he took the imperial order and strode away.

……

……

The guards galloped on the street, and the people were used to avoiding them, and they didn't panic anymore, they just pointed and discussed who would be in trouble.

Xie Yanfang leaned against the window and watched these people go away.

"Commander Ding went out in person," he said.

Cai Bo stood aside and looked at the letter paper on the desk: "Will Wei Shi's letter be returned?"

Xie Yanfang put her hands on the window, looked down at the street leisurely, and said: "No need, since the empress wants to investigate thoroughly, then of course she must be charged with guilt."

Uncle Cai heheed twice: "The Wei family has lost a lot this time. Mrs. Wei hates you for asking a white-haired person to give a black-haired person."

Xie Yanfang said: "How could it be? Mr. Wei is not so short-sighted. He has lived for so long and of course knows that doing things can never be without loss. As long as I am still here, their Wei family will have a chance to start again."

"You can say whatever you want, as long as you are happy." Cai Bo said, shaking his head again at this point, "No, it should be said, as long as the queen is happy."

He also likes to tease the son now, although he doesn't know why.

Xie Yanfang laughed.

The laughter fell like a clear spring, causing the people on the street to look up and take a lucky glimpse.

Cai Bo thought, it was probably because of the young master's laughter, although he had seen the young master since he was a child, and the young master was always happy and wanton, but such a bright and clear laugh is rare.

"Yes." Xie Yanfang turned from the window, her eyes were full of smiles, "If the queen is happy, I will be happy."

Cai Bo curled his lips: "When she is unhappy because of you, how about you?"

Xie Yanfang smiled: "I don't know, I'll think about what to do at that time."

……

……

The grassland in early summer looks like a green carpet from a distance.

Although it's not really soft to lie on, it can sink in and blend in with the grass.

The bird chirped several times, but no one answered, until a human shout sounded.

"Ajiu—your letter—"

Hearing these words, Xie Yanlai jumped up in the grass.

The man standing not far away looked at the young man running and said angrily, "Didn't you hear the code just now?"

Xie Yanlai lazily said: "I'm not on duty today, I can't understand the birdsong."

What did you say, the man stared, Xie Yanlai had already stretched out his hand to him, "It's a letter."

The man snorted: "At your house, the boss is waiting for you."

Xie Yanlai rushed home and saw Mumianhong sitting in the "yard" from a distance, sprinkling rice and teasing the chickens and ducks around her feet.

Seeing him rushing in, the chickens and ducks fled back to the opposite yard screaming wildly.

"Damn, family." Xie Yanlai gritted her teeth and whispered, "If you have any orders, let someone call me and I'll go see you, don't always condescend to come to me."

Mu Mianhong smiled and said, "How can you condescend to come here? This is Ah Jiu's home."

It's Ah Jiu's home, not her daughter's home, don't always look like a mother-in-law visiting her daughter, Xie Yanlai yelled in her heart, subconsciously glanced at the next door, every time Mumianhong came, Deng Yi looked at him differently It's a weird smile that's not a smile.

Fortunately, Deng Yi was in class today, and there was only the sound of reading aloud next door.

"Ah Zhao's letter to me?" Xie Yanlai stopped dwelling on this question and asked in a low voice.

Kapok Hong also lowered her voice, and pushed a letter over: "Here."

Xie Yanlai reached out to take it and was about to open it. Seeing Mu Mianhong sitting still, she stopped again. She wanted to say that she would not read it now, but she saw Mu Mianhong staring at the letter expectantly——

Also blame the poor.

Chu Zhao rarely wrote letters to Mumianhong.

But I wrote him almost two letters in a month, which is too much, at least give one to Mu Mianhong, otherwise, he would be so embarrassed.

Xie Yanlai murmured in his heart, and finally did not say a word to see off the guests, and opened the letter paper—if her eyes were too longing, he would pick up the contents and read aloud.

But Kapok Hong stood up at this moment, smiled and left.

Playing with him, Xie Yanlai was annoyed.

When Mu Mianhong walked out, she seemed to be able to detect the annoyed and shy eyes of the young man behind her, and the smile on her mouth became wider and wider. Although she did not receive a letter from Azhao, she could see her writing letters to others, which was better than reading letters herself. Still happy.

Especially the silly boy behind him, he couldn't stop grinning as he read the letter.

Mu Mianhong refrained from looking back, so as not to embarrass that thin-skinned fool.

But suddenly footsteps came from behind, accompanied by a shout: "I'm going to the capital."

Mu Mianhong was startled, turned around, and saw Xie Yanlai rushing over, still holding the letter in his hand, but there was no smile on his face, only anxious and gloomy.

And Deng Yi also walked out of the room at this time, and looked over when he heard this sentence.

Chapter 87 Confused

"She didn't write to ask me to go."

"I didn't write anything wrong—"

Xie Yanlai couldn't rush to the capital right away, but was driven back home by Mu Mianhong, who asked for a letter to see what was written.

But nothing was written in the letter.

Hearing the question, Xie Yanlai answered impatiently.

"Then why are you going to the capital?" Mu Mianhong asked, reading the letter carefully again.

Isn't there a secret code between the daughter and Ah Jiu?

Chu Zhao's letter was very simple, and he mentioned a past event, asking Xie Yanlai if she still remembered being whipped by Xie's family in the street?Let her tell her what happened to that incident, and also said that Xie Yanlai is dead, and all the things he has done, good or evil, have been written off, so he can tell the truth.

"Because you're mad at her for revealing your horrible past?" she asked.

She didn't know what it was, but being whipped in the street brought more spiritual humiliation than physical pain.

Someone took the letter from Mu Mianhong.

Mu Mianhong glanced, it was Deng Yi, so she didn't speak.
