Chapter 516 517 Crazy

The king's chamberlain and the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Sheng, and their entourage have arrived in Kyoto. Cheng Sheng met with Chu Yuhao and learned that the eldest prince and his wife had died of illness. After hearing this, Cheng Sheng followed the chamberlain with a sad face to see the "eldest prince and his wife" for the last time. .

When Cheng Sheng returned to his house in Kyoto, his confidant came forward to report: "Master, there is news from Tongzhou that the investigation you ordered has been found."

"Say." Cheng Sheng said with a serious face.

The steward bowed and said, "Sir, the Zhou and Li families originally lived in Xishan Village, Qingshan. Master Zhou had several stewards who were highly skilled in martial arts. The Li family was extremely powerful and had the ability to kill people.

In the year of the great disaster, the two families took the villagers out to escape famine. Halfway there, they had a fight with someone in a forest. They were rescued by Shen Yu who was passing by. The fleeing people were escorted by Shen Yu. Shen Wu brought it back to Tongzhou and placed it at the foot of Fengming Mountain in Fengming Town. "

The steward paused for a moment and continued: "Soon, Mrs. Li planted high-yielding rice seeds. Chu Sihai went to Fengming Village to meet her, and the two parties began to cooperate in selling rice seeds... Mr. Zhou rose through the ranks. After returning to Kyoto, he and Hanlin Lin Zexu, the academician of the Academy, has recognized his marriage... His Majesty personally gave the names to several children of the Zhou family, and they are rewarded during the four seasons and eight festivals. Mr. Zhou is His Majesty's trusted minister, and everyone in Kyoto knows it."

The Zhou family was rescued by Shen Yu halfway. Shen Yu also ordered Shen Wu to take them back to Tongzhou. Would Shen Yu be so kind? It's almost as if Li and the others helped Shen Yu.

Muttering to himself, he recalled that in the year of the drought, the imperial concubine sent people to rob and kill the third prince who fled to Tongzhou to seek refuge with Shen Yu. They failed, but were killed by all the soldiers sent.

It seems that the Li family saved the third prince with the three stewards. No wonder the Li family is now granted the title of Protector of the Country and is very favored by the Zhou family.

The Cheng family has been in decline since the death of His Majesty and the noble concubine, and the eldest prince was imprisoned. Now that the eldest prince has died, it has become even worse. People who used to please people are afraid to avoid it.

After Zhou Jia went to Yuezhou, Cheng Sheng had a premonition that the iron ore matter would soon be found out by him. Thinking that the matter would happen to the general of the Cheng clan in Yuezhou... Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, so he could help Cheng Sheng. There is one root left in the clan's clan house.

Cheng Sheng thought bitterly: It was they who ruined the good things of the eldest prince and the second prince, harmed the noble concubine and the eldest prince, and made me give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man. It seems that the Zhou family is the lucky star of the third prince, and they have to be eliminated. , send the child there, and ask him to help take care of the child until the day he comes back.

Cheng Sheng turned to look at the steward, with a sinister look that made the steward fearful.

Cheng Sheng stared at the steward and said word by word: "Let people go to the Lin clan to learn, find an opportunity to kidnap the child and sell it to a small boy, and sell it far away. At night, take the kerosene and put it in the Zhou Mansion." Turn on the fire and burn down the Zhou Mansion for me."

"Burn the Zhou Mansion on fire," the steward was so frightened by Cheng Sheng's crazy thoughts that he stood on the spot.

With a 'pop' sound, Cheng Sheng slapped the table. The steward was frightened. He came back to his senses and looked at Cheng Sheng. He said in a trembling voice: "Master, there are only those few people in the house now. Zhou's house is on East Street." , there are a lot of people patrolling that area, and that few manpower..."

Cheng Sheng slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Go if I tell you to, and don't be verbose."

The steward had no choice but to bow and say: "Sir, I will ask someone to inquire about it and arrange for someone to do it."

Cheng Sheng looked at him and said sternly: "As soon as possible."

Seeing his cold and stern look, the steward had no choice but to retreat and arrange for people to go to the Lin School and the Zhou Mansion to inquire about information.

After Cheng Sheng waited for the steward to leave, he wrote a letter at his desk and sealed it. He also took some gold leaves and silver notes and put them into his bag. He got up with the bag and went to the back garden. He went out through the corner door, carefully looked around and headed towards the alley. Go to the mouth.

After wandering around in the alleyway, I arrived at a house and knocked on the door twice. After a while, the door opened. A beautiful woman in her thirties looked over and saw Cheng Sheng, showing a happy smile.

The woman quickly let Cheng Sheng into the house, "Master, when did you return to Kyoto?"

Cheng Sheng looked at him and felt much happier, "I've been back for a few days, has Feng'er gone to school?"

"Well!" The woman looked at Cheng Sheng softly, "Will you wait here for Feng'er to come back and take a look at him?"

Cheng Sheng shook his head and led her into the house, "No, I have something to tell you."

After the two sat down, the woman saw his serious expression and looked at him uneasily.

Cheng Sheng patted her hand, handed her the bag, looked at her and said, "Hide these things, take Feng'er to Le County, find Wenchang Pavilion, and find a man named Cheng Youfu. He will bring you You go to see a person, and after meeting him, give him the secret message, and he will take care of you mother and son."

The woman looked at the secret letter, gold leaves and silver notes in the bag, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, what happened? Does the young master know about Feng'er and me? Tell him that we are not going back to Yuezhou I won’t argue with him.”

Cheng Sheng looked at her and felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a deep voice: "Just leave if I tell you to. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in a few days. Yu County is more than half a month away from Kyoto. You go to the escort agency to hire an escort to take you there." , live a good life there.”

The woman nodded and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I will raise Feng'er well and grow up."

Cheng Sheng looked at her with relief, "Okay, you and Feng'er are both fine."

The woman stepped forward and snuggled into his arms, "I understand, Master."

The sun had gone down and the weather was uncomfortably hot. Li Yu and his two children were playing in the pavilion on the lotus pond. Thinking of the news that Jixiang had just received from the king's chamberlain, it was said that Zhou Jia was almost assassinated in Yuezhou. Fortunately, he had been prepared in advance and escaped.

Li Yu thought that two days before the head of the Cheng family arrived in Kyoto, news had spread to the court that the eldest prince and his wife had fallen ill and died, and he was secretly worried about Zhou Jia's safety.

Seeing that Li Yu was silent after listening to Manager Xiang's report, Grandma Chen asked worriedly: "Madam, how are you doing with your affairs in Yuezhou?"

Li Yu looked up at her and smiled, "Something happened and it has been resolved."

Aunt Chen comforted her and said, "Madam, please don't worry. Since the death of the imperial concubine, the Cheng family in Yuezhou has changed from what it used to be. I have so many guards, so everything will be fine."

"That's what you said." Li Yu responded with a smile, turning to look at Yueyue who was lying on the mat, waving her arms like lotus root joints, and learning to speak, and laughed.

He picked up the Xingxing lying beside him and said with a smile: "Oh! My Xing'er is as serious as a scholar. You see, my brother is learning to talk!"

When Yueyue heard Li Yu praising him, she waved her fat hands and looked at Li Yu, saying "Ah, ah, ah," "You are just a little talker." Yueyue thought Li Yu was teasing him, and giggled at her. .

Jixiang drove to the Lin Family School. When the school door opened, he looked at Yangyang who was carrying a schoolbag and coming out with his classmates. He smiled and waved: "Young Master..."

"Uncle Xiang, you're here!" Yangyang saw Jixiang, shouted with a smile, and walked towards Jixiang,

Suddenly a carriage drove over and separated the two people. Jixiang secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards Yangyang.
