When Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou each slept well for half a night because of the incense incense that continued to be lit in the room, Zhao Yuan in the second half of the night was closed and was not allowed to enter or exit, and began a large-scale inspection that was so strict that he did not let go of a single tree or pot of flowers.

Even if he prides himself on strict rules in the past, but when he turns over the rules like this, he doesn't know how many forbidden things he has found, and how many gold and silver that have come from unspeakable places. Manager Zhao Yuan, who was still smiling when he greeted Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou yesterday, was stunned in the face of the piles of things that had been copied and checked, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Zhu Hong, who personally led the inspection, looked at the pile of messy things, and his face was already iron-blue. He took a deep breath and said angrily for a while: "If it weren't for the fact that my Zhao Guogong Mansion would never lynch and kill people, just these stolen goods that were found would be enough to make many of you die more than a dozen times!" Give me a careful trial one by one, and I am not allowed to let go of a single sin of a star! ”

When Zhang Shou woke up from a good night's sleep and got out of bed to change his clothes and freshen up, he only heard Ah Liu behind him say: "There was a night of trouble outside last night. ”

Zhang Shou yawned, couldn't help but stretch his waist regardless of his image, and then asked casually, "What about Yingying?" ”

"The eldest lady is still sleeping." Seeing Zhang Shou turning his head and looking at himself in amazement, Ah Liu didn't explain, his eyes looked at the incense in the corner. At this time, the windows in the room had been opened for ventilation, but the air could still vaguely smell the sweet fragrance of a little soothing incense, so Zhang Shou immediately realized. There is no doubt that Zhu Ying has been able to lie down soundly until now, and it is also relying on this thing.

When he got up early, he changed into a sandalwood shirt. As for why Zhao Yuan, who is the annex of the Zhao Guogong Mansion, has clothes that match his own size, he doesn't have to think about it, he must have made ten sets of eight or even more clothes early and sent them to this manor under the name of the Zhao Guogong Mansion early.

For this kind of thoughtful and ultimate service, he was too lazy to think about it, at this time, out of the warm incense dock, before he had time to check around, Zhu Hong had already hurried to meet him, and said in a deep voice after saluting: "Shou Gongzi, Zhao Yuan has copied and inspected it roughly, and the big crimes have been locked up, but there are countless people who have been smaller, and the stakes are very high, I have sent someone to return to Mrs. and Mrs. Yu quickly." ”

He paused for a moment, and then whispered, "I don't want to disturb the eldest lady's good sleep." ”

"Oh? Are you afraid that after Yingying wakes up, she will lose her temper and say that she is here, but you will ignore her? Seeing that Zhu Hong was suddenly a little embarrassed, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, even if you tell me, it is very likely that the government will come back and let Yingying have full discretion in this matter." ”

Even if Zhu Ying's reward and punishment were not so fair, in the eyes of Mrs. Tai and Jiu Niang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they would not feel that it was a big deal. After all, after Zhu Ying has clearly expressed her attitude of wanting to grow up, they will definitely exercise Zhu Ying well on this eventful time. After all, no matter how you look at it, Zhu Ying is much more reliable than his second brother Zhu Ershao!

Zhu Hong was just trying to be safe before, for fear that Zhu Ying would know that Zhao Yuan was hiding dirt and dirt, and there were all kinds of messy things, and he would be so angry that he couldn't stand it. At this time, after hearing Zhang Shou's words, he suddenly woke up, and suddenly realized that he had done something wrong, and stood stiff for a while before he lowered his head.

"I was wrong, I was confused for a while, I didn't expect that this was the Zhu family's business, and the eldest lady shouldn't have stayed out of it. Now that the eldest lady hasn't woken up yet, can you ...... for me?"

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he only found it difficult to speak. Why did Zhang Shou help him who did something wrong?

Zhang Shou stared at Zhu Hong for a long time, and before anyone could finish speaking, he took the initiative to say, "I'll wake her up and explain things clearly." But you prepare yourself, and she will definitely scold you when she turns around. ”

Zhu Hong couldn't help but feel uneasy. If it's just scolding, that's fine...... He was afraid that the eldest lady would be angry, and he would think that he was making his own decisions and deliberately deceiving; I'm even more afraid that Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai will also think that he has handled it improperly......

It was Hua Qiye who escorted the most important prisoners and left, throwing him a mess, he was dizzy for a while, and found that Zhu Ying had ordered a soothing incense to rest early, and after thinking about it, he decided not to wake her up, and only sent someone to report directly to the house.

When Zhang Shou knocked on the door of Qiu Shuangzhai, he waited outside for at least two quarters of an hour before Zhu Ying opened the door and came out. Obviously, the girl's family gets up early to meet people, so naturally she can't be as casual as a man.

I saw that she changed into a begonia red dress that was very different from yesterday's men's clothing, and wore a red agate hairpin on her black and shiny bun.

"Ah Shou, why did you get up so early." Zhu Yingqiang resisted the urge to yawn, and said listlessly, "Anyway, you will take a break today, and it doesn't matter if you return to Beijing later." ”

"It's not early, you look at the sun."

Seeing Zhang Shou raise his hand and point to the sky, Zhu Ying glanced at it, and immediately covered the dazzling sunlight with her hand, and complained in a low voice: "I still plan to sleep until noon." I stayed up for half a night, and I was trapped to death. ”

The two girls in the room saw that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying were talking, so they tiptoed out with water, and then avoided them.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Shou couldn't help but think in his heart, although Zhu Hong was indeed not thoughtful enough, but if Zhu Ying really stayed up late, after the eldest lady found out the results of the copying inspection, the anger that didn't sleep all night would definitely be higher, maybe it was really a "big killing". At that moment, he pondered the sentence and probably repeated Zhu Hong's words tactfully.

Sure enough, Zhu Ying, who was still a little unenergetic just now, forgot about her sleepiness in an instant because she was full of anger.

"These damn guys...... Damn it all! Zhu Ying only felt that her face was feverish, her heart was blocked, and her whole anger was so angry that she almost didn't explode, and all the anger that had been suppressed after falling asleep last night came up.

"Zhu Hong is even more damned, he didn't wake me up for such a big thing, and sent someone to tell my grandmother and mother, am I a dead person who stays here? I can't kill those who commit crimes, can't I still fight them? ”

"Besides, the Zhu family still has a grange stone field in the capital, can't they be thrown over? Those who are greedy for money and take bribes are deprived of their wealth, those who are seduced by women are sent to mines where there are no women to dig coal, and those who are deceived are made to do the hardest chores. In short, what they are most obsessed with is nothing that makes them nothing! ”

"My father told me before that the statute is very simple, the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor, if it is a beating, it is the number of times. If it's a prison sentence, it's just the length of time! The heaviest time is to lose your head! ”

Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing: "I originally planned to persuade Yingying not to get angry, but I didn't expect you to think about everything." Then you go for it. Zhao Yuan's matter is your family's housework, and you, the eldest lady, come forward, I think Mrs. Tai and Aunt Jiu will know about it and will support you. ”

Zhu Ying had just finished speaking in one breath, and then she realized that she seemed to be a little domineering and fierce in anger. She hesitated for a moment, and then simply asked directly, "What about you, Ah Shou?" Do you think I'm too heavy? ”

"Me?" Zhang Shou was stunned at first, and then said with a smile, "If I didn't support you, I wouldn't have come here to find you." The means are severe, I believe you are sure. Go quickly, after cutting through the mess, I'm still waiting for you to return to Beijing together! ”

"Okay, you wait for me!"

Zhu Ying suddenly had no hesitation, and was overjoyed for a while. She left a sentence and hurried out, and in a few moments her commanding voice came from the wall.

"Spread my word and call all the people to Xiaocui Hall. Not a single one is missing. Within a quarter of an hour, if anyone is late, every time they are late, I will see who dares to miss the hour! Also, send my breakfast to Xiaocuitang, I don't have time to deal with those guys hungry! ”

When Zhang Shou quietly went out of the courtyard gate and returned to Nuanxiangwu, he found that his breakfast had been delivered to the house. While eating, he could vaguely hear all kinds of shouts coming from Xiaocui Hall in the south, but without exception, as soon as he let out his voice, he immediately stopped as if he was cut off.

After breakfast, he took Ah Liu out of the warm incense dock all the way to the north to wander, walked around the huge Zhao Garden and walked more than half a circle, enjoying the scenery and gardens along the way, and when he came to the south gate of the garden, he collided with a group of people who dismounted in front of the gate and rushed in quickly.

"Shou Gongzi?" Mother Li, who was the leader, didn't expect Zhang Shou to be at the gate, and called out in surprise, seeing Zhang Shou bowing her head slightly, she hurriedly took a step back and curtsied, "Mrs. Tai and Mrs. got the flying pigeon in the middle of the night, so ......"

Zhang Shou didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "Yingying is taking someone over the court in Xiaocui Hall, Mother Li might as well go over and see if she is fair." ”

Mother Li was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly nodded yes, but she couldn't care about greetings anymore, and hurried to Xiaocuitang. But after only taking two steps, her heart suddenly moved.

Madame was supposed to come over in person, but as soon as she discussed it with Mrs. Tai, she felt that it was better to induce the eldest lady to take over the disposal. Unexpectedly, before she could bring the words, the eldest lady was already resolute.

If so, wouldn't she seem to be in such a hurry to rush over, wouldn't she seem to be untrustworthy?

Thinking of this, Mother Li immediately turned back and came to Zhang Shou with a smile on her face: "Since the eldest lady has come forward, it doesn't matter if I go or not." But what happened last night, can Shou Gongzi tell me in person? ”

Zhang Shou was about to answer, but there was a commotion outside the gate. After a while, a general outside walked in quickly, looked at Mother Li, and then looked at him, and finally bowed his head and saluted: "Outside Qin Yuan Zhang Gongzi came over in person and asked Zhao Yuan what happened, what do you need his help with?" ”

Zhang Shou's heart suddenly moved. Zhang Gongzi of Qinyuan...... Is it Zhang Chen? In this case, it is a good opportunity to shake off the pot.
