According to Liu Ziguang's temper, at least three feet of white silk was required to kill Princess Song, and then kill Hou Fangyu's entire family. However, in the end, the soft-hearted Empress Nangong couldn't help but intervene, saying that she did not want to kill any more for the sake of her daughter's condition. Everything started from
Let it go.
After investigation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was found that the man who sneaked into the inner palace was indeed Hou Fangyu, the new champion, and was not a prostitute. He sneaked into the palace mainly to check on the condition of the eldest princess. However, no matter how good and sympathetic the reason was, he entered the palace in disguise.
This major crime cannot be cleansed. Since the number one scholar has been purged, it is equivalent to being punished by corruption. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will not hold him responsible. He will be released home after he recovers from his injuries.
The fact that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not pursue the case does not mean that the imperial court did not pursue the case. The emperor used the excuse of Hou Fangyu's bad conduct and took away his title of No. 1 Scholar. He will never be hired again. Hou Xun failed to teach his son well and was fined one year's salary.
Concubine Song was released from the prison, but her title was deprived of her title and she was reduced to an ordinary palace maid. She was sent to the Clothing Bureau to do menial work. As for Liu Ziguang and the guards who had meritorious service in catching the thief, they each received generous rewards.
At Hou Shangshu's house, Qian Qianyi and his wife were passing by to pay a visit. There has been no news since Hou Fangyu entered the palace in disguise. The palace was sealed extremely tightly and there was no way to contact Princess Song. Mrs. Hou missed her son and was so anxious that she had a fever and was bedridden.
Unable to afford it, Hou Xun had no choice but to invite Qian Qianyi and his wife to come over for discussion.
"Master Hou, please give me more advice, Madam. Yu'er is smart and alert, and has a strong ability to adapt to changes. Everything will be fine," Madam Qian advised.
"Of course I know Yu'er's skills, but that is the inner courtyard of the palace after all. It's been a day and a night, why haven't there been any news?" Hou Xun said with a sad face.
"Don't worry, maybe Yu'er and the princess have already made cooked rice from raw rice, and they are happy living in the palace." Madam Qian joked, although she is already an old lady, her charm is still there, she covered it with a handkerchief
The cute and charming look is very suitable for a handsome middle-aged and elderly guy like Hou Xun.
Of course, Hou Xun had no other ideas at the moment. He shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."
What happened in the palace was not disclosed at all. Even if Qian Qianyi had mastered the Jinyi Guards, he was unable to put his hands into the palace controlled by Nanchang and Dongchang. Qian Qianyi thought for a moment and said: "I will send someone to find Wei later."
There will always be some news from the company and the director of etiquette."
"Don't bother me. I'm here to tell you the good news." With a hearty laugh, Liu Ziguang, dressed in red, strode towards the gate. With his extremely sensitive ears, he had already heard what Qian Qianyi said.
.The call was already picked up before the person arrived.
Following Liu Ziguang were a group of imperial guards, each holding a knife in his hand and arrogant to the sky. The servants of the Hou Mansion had been beaten to pieces by them, so there was no one who could tell the news.
It was definitely not a good thing for the evil god Liu Ziguang to suddenly show up uninvited. Hou Xun thought of the harsh words Liu Ziguang had said and couldn't help but become nervous. However, he turned to look at Qian Qianyi, and his racing heart calmed down a little.
After all, the head of the cabinet is here, and he, Liu Ziguang, does not dare to kill people in public.
Liu Ziguang had no intention of using force. There was a sincere smile on his face. He walked carelessly to the hall, looked around the three ladies and gentlemen, hooked his hand, and presented a huge brocade box. Liu Ziguang put the contents in the brocade box.
He took out the wide-mouth glass bottle and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in the main hall of the Marquis's residence. He said with a smile: "I have given you a gift."
Everyone was suspicious and looked intently. What was in the wide-mouth bottle was a huge male penis. It had been cut off not long ago and the color was still very fresh. What puzzled Liu Ziguang was that the first person to react was money.
Madam, this half-old lady dropped her handkerchief in astonishment and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yu'er!"
"That's right, the prince of the Hou family disguised himself as a eunuch and broke into the inner palace. He was castrated by the cleaning room. I kindly sent it back to you. You must take good care of it. As for the cost of the castration, I paid for it in advance. Alas, Hou
"Shang Shu, please don't pay me. We are ministers in the same palace. We haven't even had a friendship for six taels of silver. If you pay me any more, you'll be scolding me." Liu Ziguang said viciously.
Hou Xun was shocked and speechless. He was presbyopic, so he saw something dark in the bottle. He was about to take out his pince-nez to see what was going on. When Liu Ziguang said this, he was so surprised that his glasses fell off.
, sitting in the chair speechless.
Liu Ziguang sneered and turned to Mrs. Qian and said: "Mrs. Qian has good eyesight. She can recognize this as Mr. Hou's treasure at a glance. It seems that she often played with it in the past. Hehe, I really admire you. This is the first time I saw it.
I thought it was a donkey whip."
If there were other questions, Qian Qianyi would definitely pretend to be the head of the cabinet and scold Liu Ziguang. But at this time, he could not say anything. He looked at his wife coldly and flicked his sleeves.
Just leave and ignore this mess.
"Alas, Mr. Qian is also a miserable person." Liu Ziguang looked at Qian Qianyi's angrily leaving figure and sighed sympathetically. Mrs. Qian was at a loss, sat there for a moment and covered her face before leaving.
When Liu Ziguang broke in, a maid from the Hou Mansion ran in and reported to the madam. The madam held on to her sick body and walked out. Before she saw the glass bottles on the table, she first saw the bossy evil man Liu Ziguang.
"Liu Thief, where did you hide my son? If my son has any shortcomings, I will fight with you!"
"Yu'er, he... Yu'er, he has been betrayed by this thief..." Hou Xun's handsome old face had distorted facial features. He suddenly stood up, reached out to pull out the family heirloom sword hanging on the wall, and wanted to fight with him.
Liu Ziguang is risking his life.
When Mrs. Hou heard what her husband said, she screamed miserably, threw away the maid's support, and rushed toward Liu Ziguang while waving her nails.
Liu Ziguang jumped back to avoid the thunderous blows of the two old men. He took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve like a magic trick and shouted in a deep voice: "The Holy One has an edict, and Hou Xun and his wife listen to it."
Unexpectedly, Liu Ziguang came with the imperial edict. Facing the imperial envoy, Hou Xun and his wife could only suppress their anger and knelt down to their enemy to listen to him read out the imperial edict.
"By God's blessing...Hou Xun will be fined for one year, and the Hou family will be stripped of his official rank, expelled from Hou Fangyu's status as a Jinshi, and banned from his home to observe the effect. I admire this." After Liu Ziguang read the imperial edict, he closed the scroll and said, "Hou Shangshu,
Take the order."
Hou Xun's face was full of grief and indignation, and he kowtowed three times on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Hou Xun, accept the decree. Thank you, long live my emperor, long live, long live." After saying this, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Hou Shangshu, don't be too excited. Your son will be back in two days. The wound hasn't healed yet, and it's easy to get wind in spring. The masters in the cleaning room are taking good care of you. Don't worry. As for you, Mr. Hou.
The problem of having no heirs can be easily solved. Over the years, Mr. Hou has left many bastards outside, no matter how young or old. Just find one and bring him back. If that doesn't work, don't you, Lord Shangshu? Look at your body and bones, and you can give birth to another one who is equally good.
It's not difficult for Young Master Hou, haha." After Liu Ziguang said that, he led the guards and walked away, leaving only his back to the people of the Hou Mansion with eyes spitting fire.
Three days later, the haggard Hou Fangyu was carried to the house on a small sedan. As soon as he returned to the house, he locked himself in the study and refused to talk to anyone. Even his best friend Mao Bijiang and others came.
They didn't want to meet each other, and they even ate very little tea and rice.
From being the famous leader of the four Jiangnan princes, to being the leader of the society, to being the number one scholar in the new science, to being the future prince-in-law, he plummeted all the way and became a useless eunuch. This kind of drastic change is something that no one with strong nerves can sustain. He is afraid that his son will commit suicide.
Hou Xun and his wife asked their servants to stay outside the study all night to monitor them. Every time it was meal time, Hou Shangshu came to persuade his son in person and encouraged his son with the story of Sima Qian from the Han Dynasty, hoping that he would be disabled and strong in spirit, and he would cheer up and make a great achievement.
A big undertaking.
Encouraged by his father, Hou Fangyu finally picked up a book. He determined to imitate Sima Qian and write a famous book that would be passed down through the ages. After much consideration, he decided to call the book "History of the Ming Dynasty" to record the history of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Wind and rain, loyalty, villainy, good and evil...
Qian Qianyi has never spoken to Hou Xun since the last time he came out of the Hou Mansion. A man wants face and a tree wants bark, let alone his dignified minister of the current cabinet. Fortunately, his wife and Xiao Hou
The scandal of the young master was not publicized, which made Mr. Qian feel a little relieved. Mrs. Qian knew that she was sorry for her husband, so she consciously moved out and let Liu Rushi, who had been living in the Qian family's villa, move into the mansion. Of course,
He would not do such a disgraceful thing as divorcing his wife. Come to think of it, Qian Qianyi would also like to thank Liu Ziguang. Without his song, he would never have known that he was given a green hat by a boy from the Hou family.
The scarf, now the lady has disappeared from the eyes, the long-sleeved and good-dancing Liu family has moved into the house, and it can be regarded as fulfilling a long-cherished wish of Mr. Qian Ge.
Wei Zhongxian, the chief eunuch in charge of rituals, felt very uncomfortable. Liu Ziguang did not say hello to him at all, but he killed Xu Rong from the Dongchang system with a cane. This clearly meant that his father-in-law Wei and Dongchang did not take him seriously. Seeing this
Zi, Nanchang will be weighing on Dongchang for a long time in the future, and it is certain that Liu Ziguang will become the consort. Should he endure it, or plan a counterattack? Eunuch Wei fell into deep thought.
