() Uncle Liang, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, immediately stopped in front of Liang Shixun, signaled with his eyes, and then turned to persuade Zhong Jinwei: "Uncle Zhongxing, it is indeed this Gangzi who went to the door just now." As he said that, he also pointed his finger.
He pointed at the man in black standing next to him.
Then, he added: "Uncle Zhongxing was assassinated, and I was deeply indignant. It's just that Uncle Zhongxing was in a panic and misremembered the voice, and after many days, he mistakenly heard the servant of the Hou Mansion as the assassin. What do you think?
Think about it, what grudge does our Marquis have against you to put people to death?"
After Zhong Jinwei heard what he said, he looked at Mr. Liang who was still being stepped on by the soldiers.
That Uncle Liang was also a private person. When he saw Zhong Jinwei looking at Mr. Liang, he immediately said: "You may have a problem with my young master, but you and I are both nobles of the Ming Dynasty, so we won't want people to die because of it, right?"
?”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Zhong Jinwei didn't seem to be affected by his words and had any intention of changing his mind. He immediately changed his tone and turned into a threat: "My Marquis has a bad temper, and Uncle Zhongxing bullied him without any basis."
Come here and step on my young master’s soles, I’m afraid it’s a bit too much and will cause public outrage, and I will be powerless.”
After the butler finished speaking, he turned slightly, revealing more servants behind him. Those servants were also very cooperative, shaking the swords, guns and sticks in their hands, as if they were eager to try.
The captain who was guarding Zhong Jinwei saw him. He approached Zhong Jinwei and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhongxing, a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. This Marquis of Baoding is also a man who is used to bullying in the capital. He might really do something. As long as you know
It is them, Zhongxing Bo, who has informed His Majesty that we, Dongchang, are responsible for giving an answer to Zhongxing Bo."
Zhong Jinwei is not a brainless person. He still understands the principle of a good man not taking immediate losses. After weighing the situation at hand, he snorted coldly, said nothing, turned around and left.
When Liang Shixun saw that Zhong Jinwei didn't take him seriously, he came to the door to make a fuss and left without saying a word. At that moment, he roared angrily: "Uncle Zhongxing, I'm not done with you anymore, I want to report it."
Your Majesty, I want to sue you."
"I'll accompany you!" Zhong Jinwei still gave him face and left a message.
"Dad, I'm going to kill him, Dad, kill him, I'm going to kill him." Mr. Liang's howl, accompanied by the footsteps of the soldiers retreating, rang out alone in the Hou Mansion.
"Uncle Zhongxing, I will fight you until death." Liang Shixun roared into the night sky of the Marquis Mansion. If we don't get back this, will we be able to stay in the capital in the future?
Zhong Jinwei walked out of the Hou's Mansion, turned around and said to the officer who was following behind him: "Leave two of you and keep an eye on the front and back doors of the Hou's Mansion. I will go and ask the emperor for permission to send someone from Dongchang."
"Yes." The two subordinates accepted the order.
Several beggars not far away slowly and quietly dispersed when they saw Zhong Jinwei leading people out of the Baoding Marquis Mansion.
Another officer pointed to the sky and said to Zhong Jinwei: "Uncle Zhongxing, the palace door is probably locked at this time. We haven't caught that person, so there is no evidence. It's not good for us to bother the emperor all night long."
Zhong Jinwei looked at the night sky. The twinkling stars accompanied the bright moon, indicating that it was getting late.
Zhong Jinwei thought for a moment and told the two remaining servants: "You two are going to have a hard time tonight. I will send a few people over to you when I go back to my house, and I will bring you food by the way."
After the two bandits agreed, Zhong Jinwei took the remaining four bandits and two horses back to the Earl's Mansion. He never discovered that the beggar nearby turned out to be a bandit from Dongchang.
In the Baoding Marquis Mansion, Liang Shixun's son was crying to his father. But his father was also annoyed. He lost his temper with his son for the first time, and then went back to his study angrily.
Liang Biao had been waiting in his study. When he saw Liang Shixun coming back, he quickly asked about the situation.
When Liang Shixun saw him, he became angry and started fighting. In the end, the housekeeper who followed him persuaded Liang Shixun.
Now it was time to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. The housekeeper closed the study door and the three of them began to discuss.
Liang Shixun was still angry and not very good at calculations; Liang Biao was frightened and was far away from Liang Shixun, so the meeting was led by Butler Liang.
He gave Liang Shixun an idea and said: "I see that Uncle Zhongxing will not give up. We must do two things immediately about this matter. Let the Marquis make a decision."
"Say, Uncle Liang." Liang Shixun still had respect for this butler.
"First, Liang Biao needs to be transferred immediately. It is best to leave the capital for a while and not to show up again recently, lest the emperor accepts Zhongxing Bo's words and sends people to search the palace."
Liang Shixun looked at Liang Biao on the side and said sternly: "Chop it into pieces and feed it to the dogs."
These words frightened Liang Biao, and he even stayed away from Liang Shixun. He also believed that everything went smoothly in the past, but since he met Uncle Zhongxing, nothing has gone smoothly.
The housekeeper knew that Mr. Hou was just saying harsh words. There was no one to take Liang Biao's position yet, so it was impossible to kill him just because he wanted to.
"Second, strike first to gain advantage and go to the emperor to accuse Zhongxing Bo of being arrogant and domineering. He used his uncle to offend the marquis, and even broke into the marquis's house privately and injured the young master. It's best..."
When the butler said this, he looked at Liang Shixun and then said: "It is best to give money to the censors of the Supervisory Council so that they can also participate in the impeachment of Zhong Xingbo."
Liang Shixun looked at the housekeeper and sneered: "Uncle Liang, are you afraid that I, the Marquis, will not be able to spare the money? Lord Marquis, I used to be stingy and cherish money. But I will decide the fate of Uncle Zhongxing. Those censors will be the same as before."
Just like a lion opens its mouth, I admit it."
"That's the best. I'll let them say what they should say in the house, and they won't be allowed to say a word of what they shouldn't say." The housekeeper praised him and then added.
Liang Shixun turned to look at Liang Biao and saw him cowering away. The anger that had finally subsided came up again, and he grabbed a few pretentious books on the desk and smashed them together: "Whatever you caused is gone now."
Put one in?"
Liang Biao is usually quite smart, and his ideas are effective, but he has made a series of mistakes recently, so Liang Shixun said this.
Liang Biao didn't dare to avoid it, so he slapped him hard, and then said: "I think you should know yourself and your enemy. The Marquis went to Eunuch Li and asked him to find out what Uncle Zhongxing would say and do to the emperor.
So that we can deal with it in advance.”
After hearing this, Liang Shixun wanted to hit him with something, but there was no book to hit, so he cursed: "Do you want that eggless man to humiliate me again?"
Liang Biao looked sad and did not dare to reply.
The housekeeper listened on the side and felt that it was reasonable. He advised Liang Shixun: "Master Hou, what Liang Biao said is also reasonable. Getting scolded is a small matter, but solving Uncle Zhongxing is a big deal. Eunuch Li and we are ants on the same rope.
If something happens, no one can run away. He is measured and won't go too far."
Liang Shixun heard what the mature and prudent Uncle Liang said. After thinking for a while, he reluctantly agreed.
"The old slave will make an appointment to meet Eunuch Li at his old place early tomorrow morning. After the Marquis comes back from the palace, he will go to see Eunuch Li." The housekeeper arranged tomorrow's itinerary.
Liang Shixun nodded: "The censor should also trouble Uncle Liang to contact him." After saying that, he turned to Liang Biao and shouted: "Why are you standing here? You are waiting to be beaten. Why don't you get out of here."
When Liang Biao heard this, he hurriedly opened the study door as if he had been granted amnesty.
But the housekeeper reminded Liang Biao: "Uncle Zhongxing might have people monitoring the front and back doors. Send someone to check it out in advance."
"It's a small expense, don't worry, Uncle Liang." Liang Biao gratefully replied to the housekeeper.
Besides, the two guards who stayed behind were naturally discovered by the guards who had been monitoring the Hou Mansion. One of the guards was brought directly to Gu Baichuan.
After questioning, Gu Baichuan learned how Zhong Jinwei and his party broke into the Baoding Marquis Mansion, and he felt even more confident.
He first asked the guards to go back and do whatever they had to do. There was no need to be too hidden, just pretend. Then he informed everyone to brace themselves. Tonight would be the key and they could not let go of an Izuku.
They also asked Wang Peng to pay special attention to the side walls of the Hou Mansion, alleys and other places.
Finally, he returned to the roof of the building to monitor the Hou Mansion.
Sure enough, not long after they made arrangements, there was movement in the Hou Mansion.
First, at the front and back gates of the Hou Mansion, some people came out to take out the garbage and give food to the beggars. Seeing that the guards assigned by Zhong Jinwei were clearly watching, they hurriedly retreated.
After Liang Biao and the housekeeper heard the reply in the mansion, they secretly rejoiced that Zhong Jinwei's leadership was short of manpower. To prevent Zhong Jinwei from sending people to fully monitor the Hou's mansion, Liang Biao no longer waited for the late night operation, said goodbye to the housekeeper, and climbed over the wall via a ladder.
Out of the Hou Mansion.
The housekeeper sent Liang Biao away and went back to his room. As he walked, he sighed at the Marquis of Baoding. Every generation is really worse than the last. The current Marquis is too hot-tempered. Fortunately, Yu Yin, the ancestor, protected him so that nothing happened. I hope it will be the same this time.
Can survive it.
No one in the Hou Mansion expected that Dongchang had noticed them a long time ago and that Liang Biao, who had just climbed over the wall, had fallen into Dongchang's hands.
