As soon as these words came out, the mourning hall fell into silence.
The envoy naturally heard the evil in Zhai Huan's words.
The so-called "real things" are clothes or odds and ends, not a person anyway. In front of the envoy, Zhai Huan insulted the sister of the current king in a roundabout way. What Zhai Huan said was no different from a slap in the face. The envoy's face darkened.
Changing from his previous flattering tone, he sneered with a bit of condescending arrogance: "Zhai Lang has no merit, how dare he despise Wang Ji? Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. Wang Ji favors you, and you should serve him with your own body!"
"
Zhai Le almost exploded after hearing this.
Zhai Huan raised his hand to stop him and said softly: "According to the national law, after the death of a wife, the husband will die in twelve months. Before my wife's first seven days passed, Wang Ji sent an envoy to the door. On the one hand, she despised the national law and ignored the ethics; on the other hand, she
——The cause of my wife’s death is strange.”
He didn't say the rest, he just looked at the messenger with those indifferent and cold eyes, as if he were a dead person.
The envoy didn't feel panic at all. He had helped Wang Ji handle similar tasks not once or twice, but he was already familiar with it.
So what if Zhai Huan has evidence in his hands? Can he still sue? Can he sue? If the king knew that his sister was in love with Zhai Huan, it would be good if he didn't push Zhai Huan to his precious sister.
Who dares to disobey?
Not to mention a mere Zhai Huan.
She was Shuji's brother-in-law, and she got it after taking a fancy to her. In the eyes of the envoy, Zhai Huan was just looking for death with his words and this trip. Do you really think that the Zhai family in Qudian was a few decades ago?
The most glorious era has long passed. The older generation has died, the disabled has become disabled, and the younger generation has retired to seclusion. Which of the younger generations can shoulder the responsibility of the Zhai family? The messenger sneered contemptuously.
"What are you saying, Zhai Lang? Are you trying to accuse the majestic Wang Ji of killing innocent women for the sake of superficial male lust?"
Zhai Le heard the envoy use the disdainful word "male sex" to describe his cousin, and he was still in front of his cousin's funeral hall! His anger surged again, and he asked his cousin with his eyes. As long as he gave the order, the envoy would not want to walk out of Zhai's house today.
The mourning hall!
Zhai Huan was indifferent.
Flushing his sleeves, he half-turned his back to the messenger.
No one knew that the veins on the hands in his sleeves had already popped out, and he said lightly: "It's not the best."
Zhai Le opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Brother!"
Zhai Huan ignored him: "Today is the seventh day of my wife's life. There is a lot of yin in the house, so I might bump into the messenger. It's better for the messenger to leave early. When I was alive, my wife was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. No matter how stubborn and vengeful my heart is, I can't bear it."
Being ordered to be expelled, the envoy snorted heavily.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something.
His eyes circled Zhai Le's body several times, and he smiled.
"Since Zhai Lang must abide by his wife's filial piety and cannot marry within a year, it is not easy for His Highness to force it. It's just that His Highness admires Zhai's family tradition and also admires Alang..."
Zhai Huan: "What do you mean?"
The messenger said: "The husband of the second wife is also suitable."
Zhai Le almost jumped up and pointed at the messenger and cursed, "What are these things? Are you talking about this in front of the mourning hall?"
Are you ashamed or shameless? Looking at the faces of the envoys sent by Shuji, the death of my cousin-in-law is probably related to them.
Zhai Huan: "Wang Ji admires A Le?"
The messenger deliberately disgusted Zhai Huan: "Zhai Xiaofang has not yet reached the crown, so she is not already engaged or has a family, right? Zhai has two funerals in a short period of time, this is..."
Zhai Le looked at the envoy angrily.
The Zhai clan members in the mourning hall also stood up one after another. The older ones were so angry that they could hardly breathe. The messenger's words were not only a clear threat, but also a disguised admission that Shuji was responsible for the death of the clan wife.
meaning.
This is no longer a door-to-door provocation! The behavior is outrageous! But the messenger is not afraid. He bets that Zhai will not dare to take action.
It is true that the Zhai Mansion did not take action.
To be precise, someone wanted to take action, but was stopped by Zhai Huan. He said indifferently: "If you want to fight, this is the mourning hall of my wife, and the blood of not just anything can stain this land. Regarding this matter, Mr. Zhai
Please note it down, envoy."
When the messenger saw this, he sneered and strode away.
When he reached the gate, he turned around and looked in the direction of the plaque on the gate of Zhai Mansion, and spat.
"Bah, what a coward!"
The messenger went back to reply to Shu Ji.
He told the story of what happened in the mourning hall in detail, making Shuji giggle and her flowers tremble. The messenger squatted half-crouched, pinched Shuji's calf with moderate strength with both hands, relieved her fatigue, and returned it to Zhai Huan.
Apply eye drops: "I see, this scholar Zhai Yue has a false reputation. He is also greedy for life and afraid of death. He knew clearly that the cause of the woman's death was strange, so he was too frightened to attack."
Shuji was lazy and half-relying on herself.
"Really so cowardly?"
The messenger said: "Coward! That Zhai Xiaofang is very angry. He tried to get angry several times but was stopped by him. He was also afraid of the majesty of the Heavenly Family and a disaster would come. The gold and jade were ruined on the outside, and the skin all over his body was deceptive.
…”
After hearing this, Shuji's interest dropped by three points.
"I didn't expect him to be a heartless person..." But she still didn't forget the Zhai Huan she saw on the river that day. The elegant scholar standing in the wind. Not only did he have an appearance, but his temperament was unmatched by other rouge fans. This kind of vulgarity
She has seen a lot of men, but she still hasn't given up the idea of getting them. She wants to get them before throwing them away, "How about that Zhai Xiaofang?"
There seemed to be a bit of envy in the messenger's eyes.
"Unlike his cousin, he is a brave warrior with outstanding talents. Although he is not old, he is not comparable to those thin scribes. If you look closely, three points of beauty can be turned into ten points. It is a pity that the mourning hall is dressed in mourning clothes.
If you wear red clothes, you will definitely look stunning in the world." The messenger knew Shuji's taste very well.
She likes the scribes of Yishui, what she likes is their skin, and the exquisite bookish temperament of dealing with letters all the year round, just like eating fish and meat all the year round, and occasionally wants to change the taste. But she likes the brave warriors more, what she likes is their
Skin, and fierceness in sex.
Scholars are very proud, and those who are truly courageous will not crawl at her feet, but are willing to crawl at her feet. She also dislikes the other person for not being noble and arrogant enough, but brave warriors are different. The threshold for brave warriors is low, and they come from all kinds of backgrounds, and there are too many people who want to rely on her to rise to the top.
, he also used all kinds of tricks to please her.
Zhai Le is more likely to arouse Shuji's interest.
"really?"
Shuji's eyes seemed to light up a few times.
The messenger came close to her ear: "Seriously, I heard that when Zhai Le left Shen State to travel around various countries, he was already a sixth-rank official. Several years have passed, and now he is probably a seventh-rank official."
Shu Ji was completely intrigued.
Even though she was so favored, her brother would give her any man she wanted, but for the safety of her life, the level of a martial artist would never be too high - of course, it also had to do with the fact that high-level martial artists disdained to tangle with her.
I didn't expect Zhai Le to have such a background at such a young age. She frowned, a little moved and a little worried. After all, she was an ordinary person. Although she was surrounded by powerful warriors who were always protecting her, when it came to the bed, this
Protection is greatly reduced.
If Zhai Le wants to take revenge, his own life will be at stake.
She likes male sex, but she cares more about this life.
The messenger noticed her concerns, leaned over and whispered something into her ear. Shuji's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"So good."
Shu Ji had long been urged by the Queen Mother to get married.
Her brother Wang also helped identify young talents.
It’s just that when every family heard that she was getting married, everyone hid faster than a rabbit. The first day they said there was no marriage, and the next day they found a girl, hoping to complete all the procedures in one day. There have been many weddings in the capital in the past two years.
Take one.
Shuji was so angry.
Then I went out to play and relax.
Outside the capital, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with her.
But none of them satisfied her.
This Zhai Xiaofang is pretty good.
After becoming a family, there are many opportunities for Zhai Huan to become her own. With the addition of this layer of eldest brother status, her freshness may last longer. Shuji yawned, closed her eyes slightly, and enjoyed the messenger
Attentive service.
The Zhai Mansion is already in turmoil.
To be precise, Zhai Huan was served by the head of the Zhai family who hurried back after hearing the news. Zhai Le's father couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. Zhai Huan's other brothers also felt a little disdain for Zhai when they heard the details of what happened in the mourning hall.
Huan's cowardice.
Is this still the Zhai Huan from back then?
All the unmarried wives were killed...
What else can he endure?
The bullying has reached the mourning hall, how can I retreat?
If the Shen Kingdom cannot survive, the whole family can just relocate. The current leader of the country is very stretched and cannot control the entire Shen Kingdom. As long as he leaves his sphere of influence, where can't he survive?
"uncle……"
Zhai Le almost got kicked when he tried to plead for mercy.
"Go and watch, don't speak for the traitor!"
Zhai Le was mentioned aside by his father.
Zhai Huan still said nothing.
His father gets angry when he sees him like this.
I went out for a trip and my blood was gone.
"Zhai Yuewen, what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhai Le saw blood stains on the sleeves of Zhai Huan's mourning clothes. Taking advantage of the fact that he was favored, he hugged his uncle and led him back.
He pulled the father and son apart and said hurriedly: "Uncle, if you hit me again, something will happen! Brother is injured!"
Injuried?
The head of the Zhai family pushed up Zhai Huan's sleeve, and the blood wet the white cloth, and a small snake flowed out.
"When did you get hurt?"
Zhai Huan looked at the wound with sad eyes.
Only then did Zhai Le remember that the location of the wound on his brother's arm was exactly the same as that on his cousin's body.
"Father." Zhai Huan put down his sleeves - the wound was wrapped in wound cloth, no one knew there was a piece of meat missing, a piece of meat bitten off with his teeth - he said, "My way of being a scribe,
It’s already complete…”
The head of the Zhai family did not react for a moment.
"you--"
The Way of the Scribes is easy to awaken but difficult to achieve. Different people have different ways of achieving perfection, which is of no reference value. I only know that once you have mastered the Way of the Scribes to a certain level, you will naturally know how to perfect it.
Zhai Huan's way of being a scribe is the "Eight-Day Divination".
A hexagram can be made every eight days to know the future.
To complete it, one must be heartbroken when losing a loved one, and become one with the other person's flesh and blood.
Zhai Huan knew the way to perfection on the day he obtained the way of being a scribe, but he neither bothered nor wanted to perfect it.
Isn’t the absence of a loved one a disability?
What kind of perfection is this?
Moreover, there is an extremely strict "hidden rule" here - he cannot take the initiative to kill his relatives and loved ones in order to perfect the way of being a scribe, and he cannot even have such thoughts. Because once the thought arises, it means that he
If the pursuit of worldly interests goes beyond close relatives and loved ones, the feelings will not be pure.
Naturally, the other person is not considered a close relative.
"Because of Ah Jing?"
Zhai Huan said: "Yes."
"Then what are you going to do?"
My son, who I raised by myself, knows it well.
Zhai Huan is not someone who can swallow his anger.
"Shu Ji's support is the king and the queen mother. They gave her the confidence to do evil."
His enemy is not Shu Ji alone at all.
It is the Shen royal family.
"you--"
Zhai Huan said: "My son can do it."
At the moment when the Way of the Scribes was perfected, he knew that he was not far away from revenge. In the initial stage of the Way of the Scribes, he could only cast divinations to predict certain things in the future, but after it was perfected, he could arbitrarily interfere with anyone's past every seven days.
Even if it consumes his lifespan every time it is activated.
"The royal court is not that easy to approach. The Zhai family has only a few thousand followers..."
Make a royal court?
impossible.
Zhai Huan smiled coldly, looked at the memorial tablet in the mourning hall, and said: "We don't have it, so we can borrow it from someone."
"borrow?"
"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the capital."
"That commander is a relative of the king's mother-in-law."
It's weird that people would borrow it.
Zhai Huan's answer was that he could borrow it.
But we still need an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the capital and the royal court in an open and honest manner.
The head of the Zhai family suddenly thought: "What opportunity?"
Zhai Huan looked at his precious cousin: "In less than two days, that Shuji will come to ask for Ah Le's hand in marriage..."
The head of the Zhai family: "..."
He might as well beat this abnormal son to death.
Zhai Le looked horrified.
Zhai Huan is indeed not normal.
All kinds of rumors and rumors surrounded the Zhai family, and everyone in the city began to talk about it, with all kinds of unpleasant things said. The local aristocratic families watched the excitement with cold eyes, while some scratched their heads and wondered what the Zhai family thought, and actually agreed to the marriage from the king.
Outsiders said that Zhai Huan was prepared to sacrifice his cousin to save the family.
Feeling sad for a while.
The Zhao family of Xunnan was the most shocked by this. When the Zhao family heard the news, she fainted on the spot and woke up crying bitterly.
What is as absurd as this wedding is its speed. All the procedures are finalized in half a month, and the wedding will be completed by the end of the month.
The leader of the country was a little worried. He knew his sister very well. He specially investigated the Zhai family, but found out that the Zhai family was only serious about preparing for marriage. Although he didn't have a good face, he didn't go on strike to protest because of this... This is, he was ready to accept his fate.
?
I don't understand.
But what was more to come was that the king, the melon-eating common people, and the aristocratic family who were watching the excitement were still confused. On the day of the wedding, the king's most trusted relative and uncle led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround the palace under the leadership of Zhai Huan, cutting melons and cutting them all the way.
Vegetables, blood flowed into rivers.
The red gauze curtain is not as bloody and eye-catching as the ground.
The king looked at the soldiers and horses surrounding the main hall in shock and fear. The leader was still his uncle. Did his uncle rebel?
"What's going on?"
All the ministers were also puzzled as to what was going on.
But each of them has two knives on his neck.
I can only watch the show first.
Until, a young man in mourning clothes walked out of the army with a cold expression. Who else could he be if he wasn't Zhai Huan? He said: "Nothing happened. He is loyal to me, that's all."
The king said angrily: "Impossible!"
Zhai Huan: "Nothing is impossible."
Because in the eyes of this commander, Zhai Huan is the "real nephew". He was brought up by the Zhai family due to an accident. The current nephew of the king is just a fake who was exchanged for the prince. Leading troops to surround the palace is not a rebellion, but a rebellion.
Protecting you.
The king was so angry that he wanted to sacrifice the national seal.
result--
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the king actually rolled around, with tears streaming down his face, and handed the national seal to Zhai Huan with his own hands, shouting "brother". Zhai Huan raised his hand and took it, admiring it twice.
He said indifferently: "Kill him."
The king who had woken up was wondering what had happened to him, when a white light burst in front of his eyes...
