Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

In the general's mansion, the chaos created by Jiang Yichen was quickly quelled, but soon another wave of chaos was stirred up. Everyone saw that the masked man hijacked Liancheng, but now, almost all of the general's mansion has been searched, and Liancheng's whereabouts are still not found. But Hengtai knew it well, the masked person was exactly Tong Yuxiu who got into the mansion, it seems that this matter, not to mention the mastermind of Tong's family, but absolutely inseparable. The most important thing right now is to find out the whereabouts of Liancheng. Hengtai was sweating profusely, but at this moment someone came to report that Liancheng had returned.

Hengtai was stunned, and when Liancheng walked in front of him, he let go of his previous concern and nervousness, deliberately put on a cold expression and asked, "Where did you go?" "I just felt bored, so I went out for a walk, and I'm back now." Liancheng's eyes dodged for a moment, for some reason, she just didn't want Hengtai to know that she went out with Jiang Yichen. "Liancheng! Are you hiding something from me? What's going on? Everyone has seen that you were kidnapped by a masked man. Who is he and why did he let you back?" Hengtai grabbed Holding her arm, he asked her in a deep voice.

Liancheng was shaking her head all the time, and she struggled to break away from Hengtai's hands: "I didn't lie to you! I didn't lie to you either! I don't know what kind of masked man, they got it wrong, I'm very tired now, I have to go back to sleep." Liancheng developed a brute force, and actually broke free, and immediately ran out of Hengtai's sight. Hengtai was upset and didn't chase after him. He called Guo Xiaolai and asked him to pay attention to the masked man, and to find out who that person was . Guo Xiao couldn't understand it: "Major General, the mansion is very busy now, it's just a servant, what does the Major General care about him?"

Hengtai was troubled and said: "If this person is related to Tong Yuxiu, maybe the matter is not simple--I still can't figure it out now, you just need to look it up first!" Guo Xiao quickly responded: "Yes! Major General!" Hengtai's heart was in a mess, these things, one after another, were piled up in his mind in a mess, one after another, he was really at a loss for what to do. Besides Liancheng, she was actually in a mess right now. On the one hand, there are those things with Hengtai, and on the other hand, the three-day appointment with Jiang Yichen. In just three days, she wanted to find out the truth of eighteen years ago, so where did she start.But she can't compromise, she doesn't want to give up, she is Song Liancheng, Song Liancheng who is omnipotent!

Forcing herself to cheer up, Liancheng reorganized the whole story. She felt that she should find a starting point. The Guo mother next to Fujin was Fujin's dowry mother, so she followed Fujin so early and should know a lot of things . Start with her! It was night, Liancheng prepared a banquet in the room, and invited Nanny Guo to drink in the room. Liancheng greeted Nanny Guo and said, "Grandma Guo, please don't see outsiders. If Liancheng hadn't been promoted by TOEFL and was matched by a nanny, how could he have entered the mansion? Liancheng has always been grateful to Nanny in his heart, but he has no chance to thank him. Mom, I offer you a toast."

Guo Nanny smiled: "It's because Aunt Lian and Fujin hit each other very well, and the old slave is just helping." Liancheng hurriedly said: "Mama's help is not something that ordinary people can help - Mama has been with Fujin for a long time, right?" Nanny Guo immediately showed a proud smile: "Yes! I was the one who took care of Fujin when he was born. The people who served Fujin back then were old and old, walking and marrying. To this day, I am the only one left. One. Fortunately, Fujin doesn't treat me as an outsider, and there is no hard work for me to do, just talking with Fujin."

Liancheng nodded and sighed: "Fujin is extremely kind. Everyone in the house says that Fujin is like a Bodhisattva. By the way, I met a maid outside the mansion yesterday, who said that Fujin was also in the care of me in the past, and asked me to take care of her." Please greet Fujin!" Guo Nanny said disapprovingly: "Our Fujin is the one who likes to form good karma the most. I'm afraid this maidservant has served Fujin before." Liancheng thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Well, she said her name is Xingyu, so she is serving Fujin?" Nanny Guo's expression changed in an instant, and she smiled apologetically: "This name sounds strange... Oh, look, when people get old, their minds become confused and they can't remember anything—come, drink and drink."

Liancheng smiled slightly. Judging by Nanny Guo's reaction, she guessed it was pretty close, and Nanny Guo would definitely mess up after hearing what she said, and discuss with Fujin. She just had to wait patiently for them to show their feet. up. Early the next morning, Nanny Guo went to report to Fujin what Liancheng told her last night. Fujin was especially nervous: "Did she really say that?" Guo Nanny nodded and said, "Liancheng really said so." Fujin's face turned pale: "Why is it Xingyu again? And Liancheng got involved again." Mother Guo replied: "This old slave also finds it a little strange."

Fujin was a little restless, and she kept sweating: "Last time, I suspected Liancheng, but in the end it was the master who did it. But I always feel two things to worry about. One is that I worry that Xingyu is Didn't he die? Second, I'm worried that the master sent Liancheng to investigate me?" Guo Nanny thought for a while, then shook her head: "The master and the uncle have been so busy these past two days that they have been dizzy, how can they have time to take care of this old matter? But Fujin just said that Xing Yu is not dead, I feel really worried , I have to find a way to check again."

Fujin nodded: "Go and see Li Jia who did this before, ask him again, and tell him to keep his oath and keep his mouth shut, otherwise I will have my own way to deal with him!" Mother Guo hurriedly said: "Yes, this old servant will do it now!" Nanny Guo left the General's Mansion and walked straight along the street. She didn't notice at all that Liancheng followed her quietly.Nanny Guo walked straight for more than half an hour, and stopped until she reached a juggling stand. She and the juggler got together and talked for a long time, and the expression of the juggler became more and more dignified.

Finally, Nanny Guo said: "Keep your mouth shut, if you leak a single word, you will die without a place to bury you." It turned out that Li Jia was the juggler, but at this moment he only responded repeatedly. Nanny Guo didn't stay long and left soon.Then Li Jia also cleaned up the stall and was about to withdraw it and go home. Lian Cheng originally wanted to go up and ask questions, but after thinking about it, it would be better to hold back.He was in such a hurry to leave, he must have wanted to see someone.Liancheng followed Li Jia all the way, and watched him walk into an embroidery shop. Liancheng looked up at the plaque, on which was written the five characters of Li Ji Embroidery Shop. Seeing that the time was right, Liancheng walked in and shouted, "Miss Boss!" The proprietress hurried forward: "What would Madam want?" "I want a batch of extremely delicate embroidery fabrics. I want to use silk for the bottom, and Hunan embroidery for the embroidery, the kind that covers the entire floor. As for the patterns that can be embroidered with herbs, is there any?" Liancheng said casually. The proprietress looked a bit embarrassed: "Baicao? I don't have it right now, but if Madam wants it, I can immediately transfer the goods." Liancheng took out a silver coin and said, "This is fixed money, I want a hundred copies." Seeing that this was a big customer, the proprietress immediately accepted the deposit with a smile on her face. However, the next day, when Liancheng came to the door again, he changed his rhetoric: "Oh, I'm afraid this business can't be done. Our Fujin asked me to order a hundred pieces of embroidery cloth at your Liji Embroidery Shop, but today it's over again." Said that as long as it belongs to their family, they don’t want it anymore, and in the future, people in the mansion are not allowed to come again.” Li Jia was coming out of the back room, and he was a little annoyed when he heard Liancheng say this: "Which family's Fujin is this!" Liancheng smiled and said: "Speaking out will scare you to death, Fujin from General Fucha's residence!" Li Jia's face turned pale immediately, and he said angrily: "Isn't this killing everything!" The proprietress hurriedly stopped him: "Oh, what are you talking about!" Li Jia said indignantly: "Am I wrong? Doing things for her, what good will it do when I grow old? She doesn't want us to live for a small business!" Liancheng took the opportunity to strike up a conversation: "You know us, Fujin?" The proprietress quickly said: "I don't know, I don't know! Ma'am, we are also a small business. You ordered the goods, but today you said no. Who are we selling these ten bolts of cloth to? These cloth are also very expensive goods." , if you don’t want it, we can’t afford it either, so the head of my family got angry.” Liancheng hesitated. "Actually, when I came out, I had already spent money in the cashier, but after Fujin said that, I didn't dare to buy it, for fear that Fujin would go back and scold me!" Li Jia said loudly: "It's okay! Just buy it, and take it back after you buy it. If she dares to scold you, you will blame me. How dare she touch me! Do you want to hear a story? Let me tell you a few Let’s talk about the story of your Fujin when you were young! You will know what kind of person you Fujin are.” Seeing that Li Jia was about to slip up, the proprietress quickly covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking: "You! Why do you talk nonsense when you drink?" Li Jia pushed the proprietress away. He was on fire right now, so he couldn't care less: "I'm not afraid anymore! Show me the counter in front! Come on, madam, sit with me in the backyard, and I'll show you Tell a story. After hearing this story, she dare not touch you!" Liancheng nodded quickly, this moment was what she was waiting for! Lian Cheng followed Li Jia into the inner courtyard, and Li Jia found a stool for her to sit on. Lian Cheng only hoped to hear the truth, but he didn't dare to press too hard, so that Li Jia could see something. "Your family's Fujin is gentle and virtuous on the surface, but in fact she is another person. She has been a very stubborn woman since she was a child. When I first saw her, she was not married. She is Lord Amanalan. Doting on a concubine..." Li Jia babbled, telling Liancheng the whole story of his acquaintance with Fujin, every detail. It turned out that before Fujin got married, he had seen the main wife being neglected, and vowed that he would never let his husband take a concubine in the future! But at that time, Li Jia was a servant of Fujin, and he did a lot of things for Fujin to bully and intimidate that concubine, and that concubine, just a little bit, was worn to death day by day. Later, when Fujin got married, Lord Nalan's House of Uncle Zhongyong gradually declined.In the beginning, the husband and wife followed each other, and everything was fine. Her husband became a general and made many military exploits, and the entire Fucha Mansion rose up, and it was extremely prominent for a while.At the beginning, General Fucha treated Fujin well, but after a while, General Fucha proposed to befriend a woman, to marry a woman as a concubine, and to enter the mansion. This woman, of course, is Xing Yu. General Fucha argued with Fujin: "Ma'am! After all, this Xingyu is also my unmarried wife, so why do you want to embarrass her? Besides, taking a concubine is not a big deal for a man! Wouldn't it be a good thing for you to accept her, the two of you are harmonious and the family is harmonious?" Fujin's experience made her afraid of taking a concubine. She always felt that if she had a concubine, she would be doomed for the rest of her life, so she desperately opposed it. "I don't! Why should I agree? There are two kinds of lies, one is to turn black into white, and the other is to hide black. General, since she is your unmarried wife, before you and I got married, why did you never lie?" Did you tell me? Back then when you came to Beijing, you had nowhere to turn, and you took refuge in me, Ama! You deliberately approached me, wanted to use me, and lied for it, and now you want me to deal with the aftermath of your lies?" General Fucha was very helpless: "I am not such a person! Don't take me lightly!" Fujin is not forgiving. "I underestimated you? How did my Ama help you back then? Who gave you your future? Now that he is gone, you treat me like this! When my Ama is here, what do you dare to say? Is it about taking concubines? Do you have the guts? Now come and bully me!" General Fucha also became angry, and ignored Fujin: "You are really unreasonable! It is only natural for a man to marry a wife and take a concubine, not to mention that you are always a wife, and you are more than one head over her. Xingyu just wants to find a place to live. You Why is it so incompatible! Hmph! Think again!" General Fucha left in a huff. Fu Jin was overwhelmed, so he let Li Jia in, telling him that no matter what method he used, as long as the mother and son would not survive tomorrow, everything would be fine.Li Jia is just a servant, and he has done many such nasty things for Fujin, so he did it without hesitation. When Li Jia recalled it now, he was only filled with anger. "Alas—I have settled this matter, knowing that the general must investigate, so Fujin let me go out of the mansion to live in seclusion. Since I only have martial arts, and I can't easily expose it, I have to juggle on the street every day to make a living. Married Yun'er, opened this embroidery shop, and started a small business—how could I know that Fujin was so ruthless, and I did so many things for her, but she didn't even give me a living! Not even a few pieces of cloth! What is this called!" Liancheng thought for a while: "There is no way for you to continue like this. Since Fujin is no longer compatible, your situation is also very dangerous. I have an idea to keep you safe." Li Jia was stunned: "How can there be any ideas that can be achieved?" Liancheng hurriedly said: "I can secretly ask the general to come out to see you, you tell the general everything about the past, and then beg for the general's forgiveness. You just acted according to Fujin's wishes, the general will not blame you too much!" Li Jia shook his head resolutely and said: "I know this general's temper, he is violent and severe, otherwise why would I have escaped from his residence?" Liancheng lied at the right time: "The general has been thinking about Xingyu for more than 20 years. Telling the truth is a meritorious service. I will keep you safe!" Li Jia thought about it, he really didn't want to be so useless anymore. "Hey, the right of two evils, or your way is better." After receiving Li Jia's reply, Lian Cheng's heart was relieved, and everything would be easy after persuading Li Jia. Liancheng returned to the General's Mansion, and was about to find General Fucha, but the General was not in the study, and all the female relatives of the Fucha Mansion were not in the mansion. Only after asking this question did he find out that the Empress had invited the female relatives of the ministers to enter the palace to reward them. it took. It was already May at this time, the imperial garden was very beautiful, the empress was sitting on the cushion, Xing Dai was standing beside the empress, in front of the empress, the wives of several dignitaries in court stood respectfully by the side. The queen smiled very pleasantly: "I called everyone into the palace today, not for anything else, but to enjoy the flowers and the scenery. You don't have to be restrained, just do whatever you want." All the wives said in unison: "Yes!" The courtyard was full of beautiful flowers and colors, and the queen sighed: "This flower is actually the same as a woman. It looks good, but it withers quickly, and ah, the random flowers are charming. There are too many flowers, but they have to compete for favor. " Xing Dai was stunned for a moment: "Competing for favor?" The queen nodded and said: "As women, whether we marry into the palace or a courtyard or a village house, the love of thousands of people is always empty, and everything is fulfilled if we have a son. If I don't give birth to an elder brother for the emperor, How could he be so favored by the emperor today?" As she spoke, she patted the back of Xingdai's hand. "So, it's business for you to have a baby soon." Xing Dai nodded, and the ladies over there had already started chattering about family affairs. One of the wives said: "Yes! You must have a son, otherwise the master of the family will have to find a concubine again. Didn't Master He take in a fourth house recently? The family is in a mess." "How can you say these things in front of the empress?" someone reminded. The queen smiled: "It's okay, I've been bored in the palace all day, I've heard a lot of these news. Your majesty is so wise, he turned a blind eye to these things, today it's just a joke , let’s talk freely!” The other wife said angrily: "Which of these men is not a flower? If we don't have a son, they will say something about 'there are three ways to be unfilial, and the biggest thing is to have no offspring', and then go out to find a woman logically! " Fujin who was standing outside Rumei wanted to speak, but Fujin waved his hand quietly to stop her, and said to her in a low voice, "Be cautious in your words and deeds." Rumei quickly replied: "Don't worry, don't worry, I have also seen the big world, so I won't make any mistakes." "The one in my family is safe. Since I got married, in the past many years, I have never given birth to a girl, let alone a son, but I hold a cane in my hand, and he still coaxes me comfortably? "A lady couldn't agree with what they said. The lady who spoke first snorted: "Don't say such big words in front of the empress, your family goes out of the court every day, but returns to the mansion on time? Did he give you all his money? He Did you secretly buy an outhouse outside?" The lady hesitated: "This..." "So! How do you know that there is no woman outside of him who gave birth to a son for him? He is more afraid of you than he loves you, so ah, you are in a dangerous situation! Which of these gentlemen is a fuel-efficient lamp? These important officials in the court , who doesn’t have a woman out there? I’ve heard that Mr. Li not only hides his beauty in a golden house, but even has a son!” Just as I was talking about this, someone suddenly interjected: "When you say this, I also remembered that Mr. Zheng and General Sun also have a son outside. By the way, I heard that Mr. Tong also has a son outside..." Mrs. Tong hurriedly stepped forward: "Master Tong? Who do you think has a son?" The man slipped his mouth, and hurriedly made up for it: "No... I was wrong - it was Mr. Dong, yes! Mr. Dong also has a son outside." Mrs. Tong looked suspicious, she didn't believe that Mr. Dong at all, and there was no such thing as Mr. Dong in the court. All the wives continued to chat, only Mrs. Tong seemed restless. She is simply too disturbed, she has no son now, at her age, how can she give Tong Da a son, Tong Jialin was killed by the Fucha family, if Master Tong stays in the golden house, then she really doesn't want to live . After leaving the palace, Mrs. Tong was full of thoughts, sitting silently in the sedan chair. Suddenly the nanny who was waiting outside the sedan snorted: "Ma'am, look, isn't that the master in front?" Mrs. Tong opened the curtain and saw that it was Master Tong walking on the street not far away, with a woman holding a baby beside her. Madam Tong's face turned pale, and she ordered in a low voice, "Hurry up and follow me quietly!" Mammy nodded: "Yes! Ma'am!" The sedan chair followed Mr. Tong all the way to a small courtyard. Mrs. Tong saw that Mr. Tong and the woman entered the house one after the other, and did not come out for a long time. She was shocked, if he really had a child outside, how would she live in the future!Mrs. Tong just lost her son, and now she has suffered such a blow, her tears kept falling. "Nurse, go to Fucha Mansion." Mrs. Tong pulled down the curtain of the sedan chair and ordered. When the sedan chair arrived at Fucha's mansion, the nanny and the bearer stood aside, and Mrs. Tong lingered at the gate of General Fucha's mansion, wanting to go in but afraid to go in.Someone in charge had already reported to the mansion, but at this time the mansion door was suddenly opened, and it was Cian Fujin who came out. Seeing Mrs. Tong, Fang Fujin greeted Madam Tong immediately: "Oh! Isn't this my mother-in-law? I said that the servants in our house don't pay attention, and won't welcome you in! Come, let's talk in the house! " Madam Tong couldn't talk for a while: "I...I'm here to find Yuxiu." Cian Fujin frowned: "Hey! Look, it's not a coincidence, this child Yuxiu caught some wind and cold yesterday, and she has already taken several doses of medicine, so she rested early." Madam Tong was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Yuxiu caught the wind and cold? How is it now? I have to go and see." Naturally, Fang Fujin stopped her from going to Tong Yuxiu, and just kept saying: "Hey, the illness came suddenly, but luckily the doctor is very skillful and the medicine is prescribed to the symptoms, so it's not a problem. But my mother-in-law is here today. I can't see it, firstly because this disease is very easy to infect others, and secondly because Yuxiu needs to rest and recuperate, so it's not easy to disturb her. After three or five days, when her in-laws come to see her again, the disease will be cured." Mrs. Tong couldn't see Tong Yuxiu, and she didn't insist anymore. "Oh—as long as there is no serious problem. If that's the case, then I'll come back another day." Mrs. Tong turned around and wanted to leave, but Fang Fujin hurriedly grabbed her arm. "Mother-in-law, are you here today for something?" Mrs. Tong hurriedly said: "No... and nothing..." Fang Fujin looked around, and said in a low voice: "Oh, speaking of which, we are also in-laws, so don't hide anything from me! I'm in the palace today, and I think it's true. I'm afraid you're doing it for the sake of Mr. Tong." Is... that one coming?" Mrs. Tong was silent, only sighed. Cian Fujin continued: "Men! They are all the same. They love beauty and want a son. Mother-in-law! Don't be angry when you hear a saying, your son...isn't it gone? Don't Angry! It's to blame, and it's also the big house's fault. Our family Mingxuan is your son-in-law, and your son is also his brother-in-law! We are very sad, but there is one thing, you lost your son, Master Tong can still Keeping you in mind? If one day a woman came and gave birth to him a son, wouldn't he treat you like nothing at that time? As for the rumors, it doesn't matter if they are true or not. It will be a matter of time !" Mrs. Tong said anxiously: "If this is the case, what should I do?" Side Fujin smiled, and whispered in Mrs. Tong's ear, "Do you know why I can be so arrogant even as a concubine? My master obeys me, and Dafang Fujin dare not do anything to me? Last time Mingxuan and Yu Xiu committed such a big thing, didn't he get flat all of a sudden? Do you know why?" Madam Tong was puzzled: "Because you gave birth to a son for General Fucha?" Side Fujin curled his lips and said: "Compared with Hengtai, my son is still slightly inferior, let me tell you! I don't completely rely on my son, me! I caught something early, and with it, man You have to be submissive." Madam Tong was curious: "What is that?" Fang Fujin proudly said: "It's the handle! I have some disgraceful... evidences of our master. You know, if you are an official in the court, how can anyone be clean? Since it is not clean, Just keep it hidden. If this thing is in my hands, what am I afraid of? This is a blessed god and Buddha, a talisman of peace, and it is very effective!" Mrs. Tong has completely believed what Cian Fujin said at this time, she is now a liar, and she can believe anyone who advises her: "If this is the evidence, I can find it, what are you hoarding! Selling noble officials! If there are detailed accounts, it is not difficult to get them, but if they all point to this, if they are confiscated one day, it will still be a dream come true?" Seeing that the time was right, Fang Fujin said: "My mother-in-law's words are on point, so, although I have this thing in my hands, it's not in my hands. I put it in the hands of someone more reliable, so it's safe! For example, if the mother-in-law wants to take advantage of Master Tong, she can't put it directly on her body, you can put it here with Yuxiu, that's called going forward or retreating... Oh! It's so cold outside! Let's go and talk in the room !" If Mrs. Tong got something: "Oh, I won't sit down, I won't sit down anymore, I'll take my leave now." Mrs. Tong got into the sedan chair, hurried back to the house and left. After Mrs. Tong returned to Tong's mansion, she began to turn over the small boxes and boxes in the bedroom.She was holding two thick account books in her hand, sitting on the bed with her hair dazed. Do you really need to use them to tie your own happiness? Madam Tong flipped through the account books in a daze, feeling quite emotional. At this time Master Tong came in from outside suddenly, Madam Tong quickly stuffed the account book into her arms. "Unlucky! I met a woman today who came to me with Jialin's purse and a baby. I was full of joy and thought that this was Jialin's flesh and blood. How could I know..." Master Tong complained and said walk. Mrs. Tong was stunned: "Ah? What... what's going on?" Mr. Tong immediately told the whole story in detail. It turned out that a few hours ago, there was a young woman who claimed to be Xiao Cui. She brought Tong Jialin's purse and a baby to find Mr. Tong, but she cried and asked him to make the decision, and said nothing else. Master Tong thought that the child belonged to Tong Jialin, so he followed her all the way back to an alley. Unexpectedly, after entering the room, after this questioning, the child is not Tong Jialin at all, but another benefactor.After making a fuss for a long time, it turned out to be a farce. Master Tong said angrily: "That's it, Ma'am, do you think it's absurd or not? Alas! I'm so happy." Lord Tong sighed deeply, sat aside and said nothing.Mrs. Tong touched the account book in her arms, and then looked at the silent Master Tong.She hesitated again in her heart. Is what Master Tong said true or false? She remembered what Ce Fujin said, that he doesn't have it now, it doesn't mean he won't have it in the future, this is fate, who made her unable to have a son and continue the incense of the Tong family? Thinking of this, Mrs. Tong's expression became firm again. At this time, General Fucha's mansion was very lively, and Fujin insisted on asking for credit from General Fucha: "If today's matter is successful, I will get a first-class credit! It's me who built the bridge! " General Fucha was upset: "Hey, I haven't even written my horoscope yet. Thanks to you, you can be so proud. Hengtai, how sure do you think this matter is?" Hengtai thought for a while and said, "Fifty percent." While talking, the servant in front came to report that it was Mrs. Tong from Tongfu.The whole family was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to the servant: "Please come quickly." It turned out that this was just a divorce plan, from the queen inviting all the wives to enjoy the flowers, to one lady's leak, and then the baby that Madam Tong bumped into, all of these were just a divorce plan. Now that the net has been cast, it is time to collect it. Mrs. Tong came over soon, seeing a group of people in the hall, she was secretly on guard, quickly put the account book into her bosom again, and only asked where Tong Yuxiu was. Cian Fujin hurriedly said: "Oh, mother-in-law, come here, don't worry, I'll take you there!" Cian Fujin took Mrs. Tong to the corridor outside. Mrs. Tong looked very preoccupied, and it seemed that something was up. "Mother-in-law, what's the matter, you've already rummaged through boxes and cabinets this time, and you've caught Master Tong's handle?" Mrs. Tong nodded: "It's not a handle, it's just some current accounts." Fang Fujin smiled hehe: "Then congratulations. With this, Mr. He Chou Tong won't listen to you. And you have to keep this thing away, it can't be lost, it's very important!" Mrs. Tong felt the same way: "Yes! That's why I rushed over here in a hurry, and I feel relieved to hand over the things to Yuxiu." Ru's eyebrows turned, thinking how to get the account book over quickly: "Yuxiu is still sick, it will hinder you from going in like this, why not leave it to me first, I will help you go in and give it to Yuxiu!" Mrs. Tong clutched the account book on her chest: "No, no, it's important. I have to hand over this account book to Yuxiu myself!" Seeing that she was still refusing to take out the ledger, Fang Fujin became impatient, and immediately snatched the ledger from Mrs. Tong's chest. She was so eager to snatch it that she knocked Mrs. Tong to the ground. Cian Fujin got the account book, weighed it in his hand, and sneered triumphantly: "Hmph! Just because you still want to deal with our family? Stop dreaming! Now the account book is in my hands, go home and prepare money! Twenty Ten thousand taels!" Mrs. Tong's face turned red and white: "You! How dare you lie to me?" Rumei laughed loudly: "So what's wrong with lying to you? Who said that you won't lie to you anymore? When Mr. Tong attacked us, did we blame you for daring? Reciprocity! The blame can only be blamed on yourself It's too easy to be fooled! Come here! Respectfully send Mrs. Tong out of the house!" "You're going to die!" Madam Tong cursed in a sharp voice, but she was forced to go out by two tall and thick men. She couldn't help but struggle, and Fang Fujin held the account book with a very proud expression on his face. Mrs. Tong was led out of the gate by the servants, but happened to meet Mr. Tong, who was angry with the doorkeeper at this time: "Let me in quickly, I want to see Weng Ha Dai!" Mrs. Tong hurriedly threw off the servant who was holding her up, and ran over: "Master!" Master Tong looked at Mrs. Tong: "How is it?" Madam Tong said in a low voice: "They... actually did something, and the accounts were taken away." Master Tong snorted: "It's useless! Let's go! Follow me into the mansion to find their family to settle accounts!" Master Tong led the way, followed by Mrs. Tong.It turned out that Mrs. Tong tossed and turned last night and told Mr. Tong about getting the account book. Mr. Tong was very angry, but she did think of it.Mrs. Tong's plan to come to the Fucha Mansion with the account book is Mrs. Tong's plan. Master Tong took his wife all the way to the hall, but it was strange that there was no one in the hall. Master Tong shouted: "Weng Hadai! Come out quickly!" Hengtai came out slowly from behind the curtain, still holding the account book that Fang Fujin had just snatched in his hand. "Master Tong, don't be impatient! I'm still looking for you! Look at what I have in my hand? These are all your income details in recent years! If I look like the emperor, let alone the inside Is there any money that you shouldn't have, even the serious crime of doing business for an official, you can't escape it!" Master Tong smiled instead of anger: "So what if you can't hide?" Hengtai said in a deep voice: "Since we have this, let's open the skylight and tell the truth. You have no good intentions in recommending my father and son to deliver the relief money. Now the two hundred thousand taels of silver have disappeared, so, Xiao My nephew had no choice but to use this account book to make a deal with Mr. Tong, borrowing 200,000 taels of silver for emergency." Lord Tong laughed loudly: "Hengtai! You are so cunning with your wishful thinking! It's a pity that although you have some resourcefulness, you are still a little tender and not very subtle. If I were you, I would check carefully before threatening others. The thing in your hand, see if you can threaten it!" Hengtai was taken aback, and quickly opened the account book.I saw that the first two pages were densely filled with accounts, but most of the latter pages were completely blank! Cian Fujin hurried out from behind the curtain, grabbed the account and took a look, dumbfounded. Master Tong smiled very complacently: "I didn't expect that, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, and stealing chickens can't lose a lot of rice." Everyone's faces were very embarrassed. In the whole hall, only Mr. Tong's rampant laughter was very piercing. "You take this poorly imitated account book and go to the emperor to expose the old man! Ha ha ha ha! Now you have no time, and the deadline is coming. Once the emperor knows, the thunder will be furious, and you father and son will die!" Hengtai said angrily: "Master Tong, you can't fall into one! I'd rather fight you to the death - the two hundred thousand taels of disaster relief money is clearly your plan to frame us!" Lord Tong stared at Hengtai: "Yes! That's right! I framed you! I might as well tell you that ever since you and Song Liancheng killed my son, I have been thinking of revenge all the time! I deliberately recommend you in front of the emperor , and then send people from all walks of life to rob the silver, it would be best if you can be killed, if not, lose the silver, I will give you a book in front of the emperor, and destroy the entire Fucha mansion!" General Fucha sighed and walked out from behind the curtain. "Tong Agui, to put it bluntly, we are also in-laws. This enmity is easy to resolve but not to end. Why bother?" Master Tong said angrily: "Weng Ha Dai, thanks to you, you still have the face to say something about in-laws. When your son forced me to kill Jialin, did you think that we are in-laws? Your family is about to be in disaster. If this in-law doesn't do it Just in time—call Yuxiu out to me quickly, I know you guys must have her under control now, if you don't let her go, you will have another crime in the Jinluan Temple's memorial book!" General Fucha's face turned pale with anger: "Tong Agui! You did a great job!" Hengtai added: "Ama, he has done a lot of things! He has private business everywhere, colludes with private salt dealers, accepts bribes, takes bribes and perverts the law, sells officials and nobles... these things harm the country and the people. You have done so many things, don't think I don't know!" Lord Tong is fearless and very rampant: "Huh! That's right! I did it all! I have done so many bad things, as long as you have evidence, come up and arrest me! Oh! What a pity, you have no evidence! Haha Haha! Just wait to die!" Hengtai and General Fucha looked at each other, silent, as if they had nothing to say. Seeing them like this, Mr. Tong was in an unexpectedly good mood. No one would understand the feeling after revenge. "Come here today, I just want to see your ugly appearance. I'm afraid that after tomorrow, I will have to go to the execution ground to see it. How unlucky is that? Madame, let's go! The play is over, go back home!" Master Tong and Mrs. Tong turned to leave, but at this moment Hengtai stepped forward to stop them. "Master Tong, please stay." Master Tong looked at him coldly: "What? Do you want to beg me?" Hengtai smiled: "My nephew, I would like to thank Mr. Tong for resolving this huge crisis for my family!" Master Tong was stunned, and looked at Hengtai incredulously: "You, you...you are probably going crazy when you are about to die!" "He's not crazy, but you've been driven crazy by hatred!" A voice full of majesty and anger suddenly came from behind the curtain. Hengtai and General Fucha immediately fell to their knees. "Welcome to the emperor!" 大厅的帷幕直接被人扯掉了，帷幕后面，醒黛搀着皇上，后面跟着明轩、福晋、郭嬷嬷、郭孝等人，还有随行的宫女和侍卫们。佟大人彻底愣住了，他一见皇上也在富察家，吓得面如土色，赶紧和佟夫人一起跪倒在地，磕头如捣蒜。 “皇上饶命！皇上饶命啊！”佟大人此时除了这句话之外，完全想不出任何话语来，刚刚还十分嚣张的气焰，此时已经全部熄灭了。 皇上龙颜大怒道：“佟阿桂！你好大的胆子，身为吏部侍郎，你不思为朝廷出力，竟做些卖官鬻爵、贪赃枉法的勾当！我大清的江山，岂能坏在你这等小人的手里？前几日我见你亲自斩子，当真相信你廉洁奉公、刚正不阿，哪里知道你为报一己私仇，竟不惜毁掉赈灾修堤的银款！你这是在毁朝廷的名声！在毁祖宗的基业！来啊！给我将这二人都押出去，再给我派人，去佟府查抄！佟家上下，一个不能缺漏，统统交由刑部大堂详审严供！” 侍卫押着佟大人和佟夫人从大厅退下。皇上看着富察将军和恒泰，此时是十分唏嘘和后怕。 “俗语说得好，宁得罪君子，不得罪小人。若不是醒黛上下活动，先说动皇后做局，又请得朕亲自出宫来这儿，你们一家的不白之冤哪里就能洗得这样干净？若是朕今日不来，你们又当如何？岂不尽如佟阿桂所计划，全家株连？那你们不就又将醒黛公主置于危机之中吗？” 醒黛笑道：“有罪的皇阿玛都没骂这样多，怎么没罪的反而遭了数落？” 皇上笑道：“我这不过也就是告诫一番，也有勉励之意——唉，真是女生外向，嫁了额驸，在朕面前就护得这样严实。” 醒黛目光融融投向恒泰，眼神之中的情意，浓得像是化不开的梅子酒。 她对他的心，他到底要何时才能看明白呢？
