Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 19 Actually I am a good person!
  Jiangling.

Time flies and three days pass.

The Zhang family has been relatively safe and peaceful during these three days.

Although I still often go hungry because I don't have enough to eat, at least I don't have to be on the verge of starving to death, and no more people have died.

With the help of Yu Shenxing, the Zhang family finally had a coffin that could place Zhang Jingxiu's body. However, the Zhang family was still surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the coffin could only be placed in the empty backyard lobby and could not be buried.

After Zhang Jingxiu died, his second brother Zhang Sixiu became the head of the family. However, Zhang Sixiu was tortured so severely when he was interrogated that he can't even walk, let alone take charge of the family.

Further down, there is Zhang Maoxiu, the third child. The No. 1 scholar appointed by Emperor Wanli had his right hand tendon broken by a cruel official. Although the injury was not said to be very serious, the blow of being unable to hold a pen again was quite fatal to Zhang Maoxiu. He had not eaten or drank for several days, and all he wanted to do was starve to death.

Further down, the only one who can make the decision is Zhang Jianxiu, the fourth child. Zhang Jianxiu was the only one of the Zhang family members who was dragged away and tortured unscathed. Even Zhang Jianxiu himself didn't know why no one punished him, but he had some guesses.

Zhang Jianxiu, who is strong and unscathed, should have taken on the important role of head of the family instead of his two desperate brothers. However, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has a big personality and a irritable way of dealing with things, which is not suitable for him. Take on the great responsibility of being the head of the family.

Further down is the fifth child, Zhang Yunxiu. This sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy seems to have been frightened into muteness. He is as lifeless as a puppet and does not say a word.

Not to mention Lao Liu Zhang Jingxiu.

After such a journey, the person who currently stabilizes the hearts of the Zhang family is actually Zhang Juzheng's eldest grandson Zhang Chonghui.

Zhang Chonghui was also a little helpless. He thought that his four older uncles could be of some help, but he didn't expect...

Crippled, saddened, reckless, stupid, small, small...

At this moment, in the backyard lobby, there is a vast expanse of white.

The Zhang family, all dressed in white mourning clothes, knelt and sat beside Zhang Jingxiu's coffin, sobbing one after another and never stopped for several days.

The ones who cried the most sadly were Zhang Jingxiu’s wife Gao and Zhang Jingxiu’s grandmother Zhao who was nearly eighty years old.

As a 'filial son', Zhang Chonghui lowered his head and did not cry. His small body was tightly wrapped in a large white mourning gown. Everyone thought that he was so quiet because he was tired from crying.

The sixth uncle, Zhang Jingxiu, who was kneeling next to Zhang Chonghui, saw that his eldest nephew was so uncomfortable. He wanted to comfort him but was short of words. After several difficulties, he found such a topic:
  "Eldest nephew, why is that disgusting old thing always hanging around here lately? It's so annoying."

The 'disgusting old thing' in Zhang Jingxiu's words was Ren Yangxin who was sneaking around outside the lobby.

Zhang Chonghui didn't even raise his head, but simply replied: "Just ignore him."

"Okay." Seeing his eldest nephew being so indifferent, Zhang Jingxiu had no choice but to shrink back and continue to cry for his miserable eldest brother.

In fact, Zhang Chonghui was not indifferent, but he had long discovered the sneaky Ren Yangxin.

In the past three days, Qiu Li, Zhang Cheng, and Yu Shenxing seemed to be deliberately avoiding suspicion, without even showing their faces.

Only Ren Yangxin wandered around the backyard all day like a smelly dog. Zhang Chonghui knew that this guy was sneaking around here just to see people.

Zhang Chonghui's guess was correct. Ren Yangxin was indeed here to see someone. As the saying goes, "If you want to be pretty, be filial." Ren Yangxin lingered here just to take a few more glances at the little lady Gao who was wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety. .

Now that the "key people" sent by the superiors have not yet arrived in Jiangling, they are too cautious here to prevent them from acting rashly. Ren Yangxin, who has nothing to do, has the mentality of being idle, so he simply comes to the backyard to watch. The beauty. "Hey, Master Yu, why are you willing to show up?" Ren Yangxin greeted Yu Shenxing who suddenly appeared, and said with a strange smile: "I haven't seen you come out for a few days, I thought you went back to Beijing to see Pan Jixun off in person. "

Since that interrogation, Yu Shenxing has not shown up, mainly because the chief assistant Shen Shixing has not replied to his letter.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Yu Shenxing has been deliberately avoiding suspicion and not showing up in the past few days.

Until this morning, 'that man' sent word that the emperor's younger brother, Prince Lu, would arrive in Jiangling tomorrow and would personally be responsible for inspecting the Zhang family.

After receiving this news, Yu Shenxing finally couldn't sit still. He knew very well that as long as King Lu came, the 'Emperor's Warrant' in his hand would become a cold, hard lump.

After all, it's just a warrant. How can His Majesty the Emperor's younger brother speak with any weight?
  Yu Shenxing didn't want to pay attention to Ren Yangxin's strange aura, but he still learned a piece of news from Ren Yangxin's words, that is: Pan Jitong is gone!
  Yu Shenxing finally knew why Shen Shixing didn't reply. Pan Jixun was one of the few supporters of Shen Shixing. Now he suddenly left. As expected, something big must have happened in the capital, and it was something related to Shen Shixing!
  The current situation was all unfavorable, and Yu Shenxing did not dare to sit still and wait for death. He had to do something, for example, first find out who was behind Zhang Chonghui!

After ignoring Ren Yangxin's strange aura, Yu Shenxing asked his men to find Zhang Chonghui. He originally wanted to choose a secluded corner for questioning, but the front and middle courtyards were full of Jin Yiwei.

Although there were no Jin Yiwei patrolling the backyard, there was Ren Yangxin who was following them all the time. He was like a dog-skin plaster and could not be shaken off no matter how hard he looked.

Although the backyard of the Zhang family is not small, it is only that big. Yu Shenxing cannot take Zhang Chonghui out for questioning, so he can only lead Zhang Chonghui around the backyard, saying seemingly insignificant words. .

"Son, I'm actually a good person." Yu Shenxing said to Zhang Chonghui.

"Oh." Zhang Chonghui responded lightly.

Seeing Zhang Chonghui being so cold, he asked curiously: "Don't you believe it?"

Zhang Chonghui actually wanted to answer: Do you believe that you are a good person or do you believe that I am Qin Shihuang?
  But he didn't say that, and he didn't want to hear such nonsense from Yu Shenxing. He went straight to the point and said:
  "My lord, what's the matter with you? If you want to ask me like those royal guards who is instigating me, then I still have to tell you that no one is instigating me."

"Oh, really?" Yu Shenxing stopped and looked at Zhang Chonghui carefully.

The child in front of him was obviously just a six-year-old child, but Yu Shenxing didn't know why. He always felt that there was something indescribably wrong with this child.

At this time, Ren Yangxin, who was sticking to the back like a dog-skin plaster to join in the fun, suddenly laughed and said: "Master Yu, don't be too afraid that he will reveal the person behind you. What if it is really this kid who did it himself? Hahahahaha !”

Ren Yangxin's teasing made Yu Shenxing feel uncomfortable. He couldn't help teasing the other party: "Master Ren, why do you, a big man, always follow me when you have nothing to do? Could it be that you have been wandering in this backyard for too long and dazzled me? Do you think she is a little lady?"

"You!" Ren Yangxin didn't expect that Yu Shenxing actually knew that he was hanging around the backyard to see the little lady, and the key thing was that he said it openly!

Ren Yangxin was so angry that he wanted to explode immediately, but this time he endured it. Instead, he pointed at Zhang Chonghui and gloated about Shen Xing's misfortune and said with a smile:

"His Royal Highness King Lu will arrive tomorrow. As long as King Lu speaks, let alone torture the Zhang family, even if he beats this boy named Zhang Chonghui to death, you Yu Keyuan can only watch obediently!"

Zhang Chonghui listened to every word of Ren Yangxin's terrifying words.

It seems that Emperor Wanli still refuses to let go of the Zhang family!

It seems that he has to think of another way to make things bigger and more chaotic!
