The second and third sons of the Zhang family really didn't expect that their eldest brother not only survived, but also saw through their conspiracy. They were so frightened that they froze in place.
After a long time, the third child was so panicked that his voice trembled, but he refused to admit it and defended himself, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you so sick that you are dizzy? We are your brothers, how could we poison you?
?”
There is no evidence, there is no evidence. The poison is colorless and odorless. He and his second brother had tried it before, even if it was a silver needle, they couldn't bring it out.
With his reminder, the second child of the Zhang family also regained his consciousness and pointed the finger at the Hu family, "Brother, don't be deceived by her. She failed to give you a son, so what qualifications does she have to stay in the Zhang family?"
.
My third brother and I just said a few words to her, but she held a grudge in her heart and went so far as to instigate the brotherhood between you and me. Talking about poisoning is just a slander."
Zhang Zhengshan did not listen to the two brothers' excuses, but faced the hall, waiting for the official to come to the hall.
Not long after waiting, the official in charge of the court examination came up to the hall. After he sat down, Zhang Zhengshan and his wife Hu both knelt down, and Zhang Zhengshan presented a piece of paper.
After reading the petition, the official couldn't hide his surprise and said, "Zhang Zhengshan, what evidence do you have to prove that your two brothers poisoned you?"
Zhang Zhengshan hurriedly said: "Cao Min has evidence that it was the confidant of Cao Min's second brother who was ordered to poison Cao Min. This person is now in the hall, please summon me."
The faces of the second and third children of the Zhang family both turned from red to white. The second child kept comforting himself: Impossible, he had seen his confidants in the morning, he had seen them before he came to the Yamen with the Yamen servant, why?
Maybe betray him.
But soon, his hope was dashed. His confidant was tied up in the lobby with five-flowered buns, and when the official asked, he told him everything, including where the poison came from, how to poison it, etc., in detail.
Of course, he also confessed to his instigation with the third son of the Zhang family.
There was no suspense in this case. There were both witnesses and physical evidence. The second and third sons of the Zhang family were immediately sentenced and sent to prison. They didn't even know where their flaws were.
The only possibility was that his henchman betrayed him, so the second son of the Zhang family was furious. While he was being escorted out of the court, he broke free from custody and jumped up to grab his henchman's neck in order to take revenge.
The government officials also rushed up and pulled the two away. Then the second and third sons of the Zhang family began to curse. They cursed the Zhang family and even Zhang Zhengshan.
Zhang Zhengshan was supported by his wife Hu, and passed by the two brothers sadly without sparing a single glance.
After leaving the Yamen, Zhang Zhengshan's strength seemed to have been drained away, and his legs were shaking and he could not stand still.
The person carrying the chair and sedan chair at the door quickly came forward, helped Zhang Zhengshan sit down on the chair and sedan chair, and then went to Zhang's house.
Zhang Zhengshan was about to ask his wife where the miracle doctor was, but in the blink of an eye, he had already seen the miracle doctor. He hurriedly wanted to get off the sedan, but was stopped by the miracle doctor. In the end, he could only express his gratitude with gratitude.
"If it had not been for the help of the miracle doctor this time, my wife and children would have been doomed." On the way back to Zhang's home, Zhang Zhengshan sighed with emotion.
Zhufeng shook his head and said no thanks, then asked about Xu Ying, "What are the conditions between Boss Zhang and Xu Ying?"
Zhang Zhengshan reacted for a while and then said: "Xu Ying is young and promising, and I value him very much. The miracle doctor also knows that I have no children, so when I first learned that Xu Ying was from Daxia and had only his mother in the family, I
He planned to recruit him as his son-in-law, and also promised to bring his mother over to live with him.
But Xu Ying refused. I could also see that the child's ambition was not in the business world. If he really became a son-in-law, he would not be allowed to enter the officialdom from now on, so I didn't force it, but thought of another idea.
I plan to adopt him as my adopted son."
"Xu Ying agreed?" Zhufeng asked again.
Zhang Zhengshan nodded and said: "I agree. I also chose an auspicious day to salute, but I didn't expect that before saluting, my two 'good' brothers actually wanted my life first." Speaking of this, there was another one.
Sorrowful.
What hatred can be more heartbreaking than the hatred between blood relatives?
Zhufeng nodded clearly: "No wonder, I am afraid that your adoption of Xu Ying as your adopted son has made your two brothers anxious. They may have been considering letting you adopt a child before, or they may have other plans. In short, they are watching.
Got the property of your big house.
So after knowing that an adopted son was going to ruin their financial prospects, they not only attacked you, but also arrested Xu Ying."
Mrs. Hu said quickly: "Yes, they have asked us to adopt one of their children many times before, but my husband and I have not agreed. Their children are not young anymore. Even if we adopt them, it will not be easy for the children to accept us."
.”
Zhang Zhengshan was worried about Xu Ying, "Miracle doctor, is Xu Ying safe now?"
"I don't have to worry about my life." After all, he was the one chosen by his head junior sister, so there was no way he would die here.
Zhang Zhengshan was quite worried, so after returning home, he immediately sent people to search the yards of the second and third bedrooms, thinking that he might be locked up in their yards.
But before his people could find him, Xu Ying escaped first.
The courtyards of the Zhang family are all connected together. There is a wall on the outside, but there are three large courtyards on the inside. Therefore, after Xu Ying escaped, he went straight back to the courtyard.
When he returned to the main courtyard, Zhufeng was also going out with the housekeeper to transport grain. After Zhang Zhengshan saw the contract, he immediately asked the housekeeper to accompany him to load grain.
The two met head-on. Zhufeng was as expected, but Xu Ying was pleasantly surprised and started chatting with Zhufeng directly on the road.
"...I learned that their master had been arrested and all the servants in the courtyard were scattered like birds and beasts, so I took the opportunity to escape. Fortunately, the two of them did not dare to be too arrogant, fearing that they would draw attention to me if they tied me outside.
, so it has been kept within this wall."
Zhufeng patted Xu Ying's shoulder comfortingly, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have good luck in the future."
After Xu Ying finished speaking, he asked: "Are you going to move food?"
"Yes, let's see if everyone can get on the boat today. If they can, then I have to leave today." Zhufeng said.
Xu Yingze said quickly: "Then please wait a moment, Boss Zhu. I bought some things for my mother, and I would like to ask Boss Zhu to help me take them back."
"You put it at your place first. I have to come back after the goods are loaded."
Zhufeng said goodbye to Xu Ying, and then left with the housekeeper. Xu Ying went to see Zhang Zhengshan and his wife to report that they were safe.
...
When Zhufeng went to move the grain, King Mu was also discussing the war with his ministers in the palace of the capital.
"There are not many soldiers and horses in the country now, and our back is close to Daxia Yinzhou. Yinzhou's soldiers and horses are powerful. Although we have never fought with anyone in these years, our strength is definitely not embarrassing, so we must beware of their surprise attacks."
Another veteran minister said earnestly, "Your Majesty, you are playing with fire and burning yourself. The country of Mu is already weak, but you insist on trying to shake that big number. Isn't this pushing the entire country of Mu into a pit of fire?"
I understand that you want to avenge the old king and avenge the entire country of Mu, but such a big country with hundreds of thousands of troops cannot tolerate your whims."
