"Sister-in-law~~" Zhao Fujin said in embarrassment: "Of course I believe in the character of the prince brother."

Being beaten to the gate by a gold man, people who only know how to give gold, silver, and women really don’t have the guts to assassinate officials.

"It's just that the officials are very angry at this time. If I go to intercede, I might not be able to help."

"Di Ji!" Zhu Lian took a few steps forward, took Zhao Fujin's hands, and knelt down without warning: "Di Ji, please save your highness! He is an upright person and has never been favored by officials. This time No one who looks at this matter would think that it has anything to do with His Highness, but the officials~~~ His Highness has already been convicted before the case has even been tried..."

Zhu Lian cried miserably. Zhao Fujin pulled him a few times but failed to pull him up, so he had to squat down and persuaded him: "Sister-in-law, you are overthinking it. Maybe the officials are calling the prince's brother to discuss matters."

"Everyone in my maternal grandfather's family has been imprisoned, and the Zhu family has also been surrounded by guards~~" Zhu Lian cried: "If it was really uncle Cheng's fault, he should be arrested and tried, and the charges should be determined. Our two families are jointly guilty, and I admit it, but unfortunately, the punishment has already been imposed before the crime has been determined!"

Before Zhu Lian entered the Ninghe Hall, he received a letter from the young eunuch. The Zhu family was surrounded, Lord Zhu was summoned to the palace, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Zhu Liu returned to the mansion, and the door of the mansion was closed. The situation inside I don’t know.

Zhu Lian was angry and anxious. He was angry that Zhao Ji ignored the love between father and son and slapped the prince's face like this. He also hated that the eldest uncle of the Cheng family was missing at this critical moment. Even if he was not guilty, he should come out to prove his innocence and hide like this. It's not harmful to people!

She knew very well that the prince would never do such a treasonous thing, but if her uncle was really related to the assassination of the official family, the prince would not be able to get rid of it even if he jumped into the Yellow River!

She could be calm before, but now she can no longer remain calm no matter what: "Emperor Ji, please help your highness. If your highness can escape this disaster, I will reward you with a ring in the entire East Palace!"

The entire East Palace?

It is estimated that regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Zhao Huan, he will no longer be able to stay in the East Palace.

"In this case, I guess I won't be able to help my eldest sister-in-law!" Zhao Fujin let out a long sigh and looked at Zhu Lian sincerely: "My eldest sister-in-law comes to beg me, so it is better to go to the husband-in-law of the dynasty. , the prince's brother has taken over the throne, so if the officials want to deal with it, they have to be a little more cautious."

How many husbands are you looking for?

Zhu Lian was stunned for a moment and said in a daze: "Your Highness is afraid of being tabooed by the officials, so he has never made friends with you..."

"If the prince's brother does not make friends with the princes, it does not mean that there is no friendship." Zhao Fujin pointed out: "The prince is a kind man and has a reputation for being frugal and diligent. As long as he is dedicated to serving the country and the court, who wouldn't want to have such a prince?"

When Cai Ji heard this, he lowered his head and smiled.

Luxury in the official family is more important than enjoyment. Compared with such a diligent and frugal prince, it is indeed reasonable to not like him.

"But if Uncle Cheng accidentally falls into the trap of a villain." Zhu Lian hesitated: "My uncle has been proficient in small tricks for many years and is extremely profitable. If he is taken advantage of..."

Wow, what's going on in Zhu Lian's mind!

Are you planning to give her an explanation?

Zhao Fujin was speechless: "If this is really the case, the eldest sister-in-law Xu will have to exterminate her relatives out of justice. If possible, it is better to find her back."

Zhu Lian was silent, and was helped up by Zhao Fujin, who pulled him to sit down together on the collapse: "Sister-in-law, think about it seriously, is it possible that your uncle Cheng is colluding with others? Why would he conspire with others?

You are the Crown Princess, and as the Crown Princess's maternal wife, he only needs to act steadily, and his future prosperity will surely be limitless. What reason does he have to assassinate the official? "

Yes, Uncle Cheng is big on profits and always on love, so how could he get involved in the assassination of an official?

……

In a brothel in the southeast of Shengdefang, it was very lively with people coming and going. On the first floor of the brothel, there is a messy utility room.

The turtle slave held up the tray, opened the door carefully and walked in. There were scattered broken objects in the room, and in the middle of it stood a sundry shelf full of cobwebs.

The turtle slave held the tray and leaned his back on the shelf. With a push of his feet, he pushed the shelf open a few centimeters, exposing the hole under the shelf.

He turned around and checked his surroundings, then carefully raised the tray above his head and walked down the steps at the entrance of the cave. After walking up seven or eight steps, the ground beneath his feet was somewhat flat. It was dark in front of his eyes, and there were the laughter of prostitutes and guests above his head, but he had already arrived in another courtyard.

As he ascended the seven or eight steps, he pushed his head against the wooden board above his head, and he appeared in a large, luxurious and bright room.

Wu Shao in the room was playing chess with Cheng Xing. When he saw the turtle slave coming, he threw the chess pieces in his hand on the table with a bang: "Forget it, forget it, I'm really boring if I don't play with you. Fortunately, you are still from the Central Plains, so you are so bad at chess!"

"It's because Mr. Wu is very skilled at chess, and the villain is really no match for him." Cheng Xing gathered the messy chess pieces together, slowly separated the black and white chess pieces, and threw them into different chess cups.

"Masters, this is your dinner, do you want to serve it now?" The turtle slave lowered his head and placed the tray on the table.

"Let's do it! How's it going outside?" Wushao stood up and stretched. Cheng Xing hurriedly stepped forward, took off the wet handkerchief on the shelf and handed it over to let him wipe his hands.

"Back to Mr. Wu, the prince and Zhu Bocai have been summoned into the palace by Zhao Ji. The Zhu family is surrounded and is not allowed to go in and out. People in the East Palace are watched by guards when they come in and out. The Cheng family~~" Gui Nu said and put the cage on the tray. The partition was opened and the food was served outside: "More than 20 members of the Cheng family have been arrested and imprisoned."

"Why did you come to the door so quickly!" Cheng Xing's face was tense and he asked hurriedly: "Where is the yard of Shengdefang?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Cheng. Mrs. Ru and the three young masters from Shengdefang have followed the fifth master to the north. Xu has boarded the ship at this moment." The turtle slave laid out the food and saluted the Wushao: "Master Wu, let's What the prince means is that you can send someone to contact the prince."

"There's no rush." ​​Wushao stretched out his sleeves and sat in front of the table. He looked at the dishes in front of him with a satisfied look: "Zhao Huan hasn't reached the point of desperation yet. It's probably still a few minutes before he comes. The chances of success are too low."

"Master Wu~~" Cheng Xing hesitated for a moment, then persuaded him hard: "The prince is timid. If you delay for too long, you may be pulled down from the position of prince."

"Isn't that a good time? His position as prince is gone, so he can be used to destroy the boat and use it for me!" Wu Shao glanced at Cheng Xing: "Don't worry, as long as Zhao Ji can't catch you, there will be no charges. . The Cheng family members have nothing serious to do in prison."

Cheng Xing naturally knew that nothing would happen to the Cheng family in a short time.

But when the whole family was arrested, he really couldn't calm down.

And staying in this dark place, he was always in panic: the prince took away his concubine and three sons, which made him extremely uneasy: "Empress Mingde is just a little girl, so... She has some talent, but so what, Mr. Wu, it’s really not worth the trouble you and the prince have gone through for her.”

He has been lurking in the Song Dynasty for decades for Da Jin. With the support of Da Jin, he became an imperial merchant. His sister married into the Zhu family and his niece became the mistress of the East Palace. Seeing everything getting better and better, he never expected that... Wanyan Hongchou, the Fifth Prince of Daijin, will suddenly come to visit!

He entertained him with delicious food and drinks. After the fifth prince wandered around, he just had the idea of ​​​​going back to Dajin, but he heard a loud sound of the ground shaking.

This loud noise shattered his peaceful and happy days into pieces and was gone forever.
