Concubine like a house

Chapter 101 A single hair can move the whole body (2)
By the end of April, the Ming family's case had been basically clarified, and there were not a few families involved in the affairs of the public.Although the regent handled the case based on the principle of "the crime is not as good as his family", he still killed more than a hundred people in the end.Of course, it also cleared the obstacles for him to ascend the throne, and at the same time won his prestige and benevolence.It's just that Shen Yu was involved, and he was assassinated three times in two months. Fortunately, he was not serious... Chuxiu has been following Shen Yu's developments and ordered people to send letters from Jingzhou regularly.It was night, no one was there in the middle of the night, and the lights were dim. She unfolded the secret letter sent from Jingzhou, and read it carefully by the candlelight:

"The Ming family closed the case, and the Helian family was free. Shen Yu resigned from his post as head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in early April, and joined Cheng County King. He will lead his troops to Quzhou within a few days to eliminate the remnants of King Fu's party."

Although it is only a simple and singular language, Chuxiu has already settled down.After the case of the Ming family this time, Shen Yu's reputation has been greatly improved, but some people say that he abused lynching and used unscrupulous methods during the trial of the case.Fortunately, King Mu himself is an unscrupulous person, so Chuxiu is not worried that King Mu will punish him for this.

She was even more worried that Shen Yu left the Ministry of Punishment and entered the army, but he was ordered to eliminate the remaining party of King Fu... Anyway, King Fu was Shen Yu's brother-in-law and the backing of the Marquis of Wenchang. It must be very uncomfortable to use soldiers to deal with former allies.

But Chuxiu also knew that now that Nanxi's general situation had been determined, and King Mu's ascension to the throne was imminent, if Shen Yu wanted to revive his family, he had to draw a clear line from the past.Mu Wang was clearly testing him, to see if he was loyal enough and cruel enough.

Counting the days, Shen Yu should have arrived in Quzhou by now.That was the former fiefdom of King Fu, and there are still many people lingering on their last legs, and Yun Muge's husband's Ye family is also here.Although the Ye family is Concubine Ye's natal family, so it must be safe, but Chuxiu still felt uneasy, always feeling that Shen Yu's trip would be involved with the Ye family, and something big would happen.

In the blink of an eye, this summer, Shen Yu was going well in Quzhou, but he didn't have a real job.Originally thought that this summer should pass safely, but unexpectedly, a piece of news from Quzhou at the end of July was like a bolt from the blue—Shen Yu led the troops to be invincible, and forced King Fu's old headquarters in Quzhou to nowhere Refundable.However, at the critical moment, one of Fu Wang's former aides took advantage of Yun Muge's going out to kidnap him, and threatened to ask Shen Yu to retreat at the cost of Yun Muge's life.

When the news reached Chuxiu's ears, she was so shocked that she almost knocked over the teacup!Yun Muge is now the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, if she makes a mistake, Shen Yu will have a quarrel with the Ye family, and will be hated by Concubine Ye; what's more, Shen Yu is also the uncle of the Yun family, and Yun Muge is his My sister-in-law!
Originally, Shen Yu led troops to deal with Fu Wang's former troops, but some people criticized him for being greedy for glory and wealth, and his relatives refused to recognize him; now Yun Muge's life is lying in the middle, this is to put him in a dilemma on purpose!
He cared about Yun Muge's life because he was showing selfishness and disregarding righteousness; he ignored Yun Muge's life because he was ruthless, and he was more likely to offend Concubine Ye Gui!

Neither advancing nor retreating, don't say that Shen Yu is in a dilemma, I don't have an idea in my mind anymore!So she hurried to Rongjintang to report the matter, and wanted to discuss a countermeasure with Mrs. Tai.After a lot of deliberation, the latter said, "We don't want Mu Ge's life."

"No more?" Chuxiu was shocked, "Mu Ge is the second young lady of the Yun family, or the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, if something goes wrong with her..."

"It's okay." Madam Tai said decisively, "Mu Ge died in Quzhou, because the Ye family didn't protect her well. Not only has nothing to do with my Yun family, but the Ye family owes us a life. Besides, Shen The crisis of Yu can also be resolved, and we will not lose money on this deal."

Having said that, when Chuxiu heard Mrs. Tai use the word "business" to describe Yun Muge's life, she still felt chills in her heart: "Is there no better way?"

"Don't you have it?" Mrs. Tai sneered, "As the mistress of the house, you must be decisive. Your benevolence as a woman will not only harm Shen Yu, but also make our Yun family inhumane! Think about it , we have always supported Mu Wang, but now when we are purging the remnants of Fu Wang, we let them hold Mu Ge's life as a threat... But if we have the slightest hesitation, what will Mu Wang think of the Yun family?"

Mrs. Tai sighed, and continued: "You can't give up all your previous efforts at critical moments. Since you choose to support King Mu to the end, you don't hesitate to sacrifice two or three lives. What's more, you can save Shen Yu...you go and issue a red warrant immediately. Send it to Quzhou, and send a copy to Jingzhou, and tell them that the Yun family puts the overall situation first."

The overall situation is the most important... As soon as these four words came out, it ended the life of a girl like Hua.Although this is a method that takes into account the overall situation and can minimize sacrifices, it is too cruel, and Chuxiu can't be ruthless.

Seeing that Chuxiu hesitated again and again, Mrs. Tai couldn't hide her anger: "What kindness do you have for Yun Muge? Have you forgotten who her mother is? Have you forgotten how Wen Xian killed Ci'er? If you don't first Declare to give up Yun Muge one step at a time, and when she dies, the Ye family will sooner or later be charged with Shen Yu! You just wait to collect his body!"

When mentioning Shen Yu, Chuxiu also hesitated.She knew that Mrs. Tai was right, as long as she made this statement, whether Yun Muge lived or died, it would not be Shen Yu's fault.The sword has no eyes, and it is blocked by Yun's sentence "focus on the overall situation", which has nothing to do with Shen Yu's selfishness.

Chuxiu could feel her fingers trembling. She didn't want to be the executioner, and wanted to procrastinate for a while: "Mother, I want to go to Quzhou for myself, okay?"

"No!" Mrs. Tai's face sank, "What's the situation in Quzhou now? It's too late for others to hide, why can't you wait to dive into the fire pit? Going to Jingzhou is also going to Jingzhou! You go to find King Mu and Concubine Ye Gui, Quzhou you I can't go." Chuxiu couldn't tell what mood he was in now.Worried about Yun Muge, about Shen Yu, or about the impact of this accident on the Yun family?But Mrs. Tai is right, if Quzhou can't go, then I can only go to Jingzhou.At least to stabilize King Mu and Concubine Ye Gui, to obtain their understanding and support, and to mediate for Shen Yu. "I understand, I'm leaving today." Chuxiu had no choice but to compromise.How can Mrs. Tai fail to see Chuxiu's intolerance?He didn't want to push her too hard, so he sighed: "Well, I will issue this warrant, and you leave for Jingzhou immediately. Be sure to hurry! If Shen Yu fails to handle this matter properly, you will also You can go around for him."

Mrs. Tai thought of going with herself.Not daring to delay going out of Xiuxiu, she hastily resigned and was about to go back to Zhiyanxuan to pack up her luggage, but Madam Tai suddenly said: "If necessary, please ask the King of Chengjun for help. Twisting your fingers can melt hundreds of steel, you can handle it yourself Good measure."

It turned out that nothing escaped Mrs. Tai's eyes.Chuxiu suddenly felt ashamed, didn't dare to say more, and left in a hurry.On the same day, she set off for Jingzhou.

Along the way, she used pigeons to send letters from time to time to inquire about the situation in the two places, and finally arrived in Jingzhou, but it was still a step too late.

Everything in Yingyuan Palace is silent, and the majestic Emperor Palace is now the exclusive property of the Regent Nie Peihan.His father, Emperor Nie, had already claimed that he was sick and did not care about political affairs. He only waited for the day when his son would be so excited, come up with the Zen edict, and ascend the throne of Nanxi Emperor.

"For your great cause, my Yun family is really miserable." When Chuxiu saw King Mu, he couldn't help sighing at the first sentence.

Just half a month after she left, Shen Yu sent troops to wipe out the old troops of King Fu.On that day, Yun Muge, the second young lady of the Yun Mansion and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, died in front of the battle between the two armies. The battle in Quzhou was coming to an end, and Shen Yu won.

However, after this battle, Shen Yu became even more infamous.Fortunately, the Ye family did not have any enmity with him because of this, King Mu also issued a decree, canonized Shen Yu as the third-rank "General Weiyuan", and allocated another [-] soldiers and horses, ordering him to be stationed in Quzhou on standby.Seeing Chuxiu sigh, Mu Wang smiled charmingly: "Madam, don't be sad, the death of the second Miss Yun just fulfilled Mrs. Tai's wishes?" Chuxiu thought that Mu Wang knew about Wen Xian's misfortune, so he said "So you've heard it all." "What did you hear?" Mu Wang didn't pretend to be profound, but said truthfully, "Mrs. Tai took great pains to get Miss Yuner to marry into Ye's family, isn't it because she intends to kill her?" "How do you say that?" This time it was Chuxiu's turn to not understand.Yun Muge married to the Ye family, and what does it have to do with Mrs. Tai harming her?
"Why, madam, don't you know? The eldest son of the Ye family likes to molest children, and he has tortured five boys to death in the past two years." "Boy molester?!" , "It's not that the eldest son of the Ye family has outstanding literary talents and is good at rhythm..." "Wen Cai is quite outstanding, and he is also good at rhythm." Mu Wang laughed, "But what does this have to do with his child molestation? Not everyone has outstanding literary talent and is good at music. Men with a melodious temperament are as gentle as jade. The ninth brother is unrestrained, and his cousin is sexually pleasing and has special hobbies."
