Chapter 917: King Zhou Adds Insult to Injury

The matter in Yongkangbo Mansion finally reached the court. Many censors complained that Shao Rufeng, Yongkangbo, was not strict in running the family. Mrs. Yongkangbo was unkind and greedy for the dowry of her sister-in-law and daughter-in-law. After so many years of silence, if the lady of the aristocratic family behaves like this, she will really lose the dignity of the entire aristocratic family.

Some people advocated letting Yong Kangbo divorce his wife.

Some people said that Mrs. Yong-Kangbo was an impediment to women's virtues, so she was sent directly to a temple, where she was asked to pray for her family for the rest of her life.

Some people even said that in order to keep possession of these shops owned by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Yong-Kangbo even caused her daughter-in-law to have a miscarriage, and added medicine to her daughter-in-law's medicine to kill children.

His heart is so vicious...

One sentence after another, one memorial after another, Shao Rufeng knelt before the main hall, his whole body trembling into a ball, but he was speechless!

The emperor angrily threw all the memorials on Shao Rufeng, and then ordered everyone not to discuss the matter and focus on business.

With the emperor's words, the matter was temporarily stopped. The courtiers returned to their posts and brought up their own political affairs related to the dynasty.

Chu Liuchen sat on a large chair, resting his head on his elbows, squinting at the scene in front of him with a lazy expression. This chair has always been placed like this, even though he is still in good health, he has always placed it like this. .

Chu Liuyue stood in his position with a calm expression, and Chu Liuzhou stood behind him with a peaceful look on his face. Just looking at their faces, it was hard to believe that both of them wished that the other one was dead. He was secretly panicking, while the other was secretly proud.

Chu Qing looked excited. Although he didn't know the specific matter, he vaguely felt that it would not be simple.

The courtiers reported the matter one by one, and the emperor handled the affairs with a majestic look. Everyone seemed to have not seen Yong Kangbodi Rufeng, turning a blind eye to him kneeling in the main hall.

This kind of turning a blind eye but showing off made Di Rufeng panic, and he took a deep breath, remembering what King Yue said yesterday, and what his wife and son said before going out today, saying that they promised to coax Qin Yuru back, no matter what conditions Qin Yuru put forward. Promise her that this matter won't be a big deal.

I don’t know what’s going on outside now, but if it ends here, it’s not so bad!

Di Rufeng felt uneasy and his vest was soaked with cold sweat. The emperor's reserved attitude made him almost unable to concentrate, and he even wanted to faint in front of the hall.

The court meeting finally broke up, and the emperor took several princes to the imperial study. Di Rufeng was dragged into the imperial study by a eunuch, half-supporting and half-pulled.

When they arrived in the imperial study room, as soon as the eunuch's hand loosened, Di Rufeng fell to his knees on the ground, trembling all over.

This will be the critical moment. How will it end? It's like a blind man groping for an elephant. His heart is completely hanging in the air. The longer the time, the greater the endurance.

After entering the royal study, a guard hurriedly presented a book to the emperor.

After Derong took it, he handed it to the emperor respectfully. The emperor looked at it with a cold face. After finishing the reading, he sneered, "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling? Yong-Kangbo Mansion is really lively. The quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law makes me anxious. The Yamen has gone!"

"Your Majesty... I... It's because my family is not strict!" Di Rufeng felt that he was alive again, his body swayed, and he almost collapsed on the ground, but he was ecstatic in his heart. The emperor's guard handed over the news of the investigation. , obviously it is beneficial to me, and it is also going in the direction I want to push.

"The family is not strict? Yong-Kang Bo's family is not strict, but he uses the yamen as a

It’s your home now! " Chu Liuzhou sneered.

"Second brother, this matter is a family matter of Yong Kangbo's house. Yong Kangbo is not willing to talk about it. A real man will inevitably have an unvirtuous wife and unfilial son!" Chu Liuyue's words seemed much more tolerant.

Chu Liuchen sat on a chair on the side with his eyes half-closed. His long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was asleep or awake.

"Eldest brother is really kind-hearted. In the past, it was rare for me to defend my subjects like this. He always thought of my father's wishes." Chu Liuzhou mocked.

"Second brother, of course we have to obey our father's orders, but this matter is indeed..." Chu Liuyue shook his head calmly, as if he didn't know how to describe it, but he didn't really want to talk to Chu Liuzhou. In a sense of competition, this state looks much more peaceful than Chu Liuzhou's.

"Father, I have something to report!" Chu Liu was suddenly at a disadvantage on Monday. He immediately became angry and took a step forward to step out of the queue.

"What's the matter?" The emperor said coldly.

"Father, my son, Zhao Yong, has another reason for things in Kang Bo's house!" Chu Liuzhou said.

Di Rufeng's body swayed and he almost fell down. He insisted hard to calm himself down. Even if King Zhou had great powers, he couldn't really hide anything. Those girls were hiding in Zhuangzi outside the city. Usually, He was not a showy person, and he did not panic this time. He did not rush to investigate the matter. King Yue repeatedly warned him not to panic.

"Father, this is the news that I got yesterday. Please check it!" Chu Liuzhou presented a piece of information in his hand, and Derong took it and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor's face was as heavy as water. After reading it, his face turned cold. Then he suddenly picked up the folding book at hand and smashed it on Chu Liuyue's head.

Chu Liuyue was startled, but she didn't dare to move away. She suffered a severe blow, and it hit him on the bridge of his nose. It was painful and sore, and tears immediately came from the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, he didn't even bother to wipe away his tears, and hurriedly knelt down: "Father!"

"You're not bad, your hand is really long!" The emperor was so angry that he stretched out his hand and cursed.

"Father, I don't dare!" Chu Liuyue didn't know what went wrong. She hurriedly lowered her head and said, feeling a little panicked. Chu Liuzhou didn't know what he had shown to his father, but he actually offended his father. Huang Chong was angry with himself.

He raised his hand slightly to wipe away the sore tears from the corners of his eyes, and calmed himself down, with a confused look on his face, as if he really didn't know why the emperor reprimanded him.

"You don't dare, why don't you dare! It's really good. I raised you one by one. When the people you raise are older, your hearts become bigger!" The emperor was very angry and pulled Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou with his fingers. All are included in it.

"Father!" Chu Liuzhou couldn't stand anymore and knelt down.

Chu Liuchen still looked leisurely and aloof from the incident. He only raised his eyes to look at the two brothers, and then continued to close his eyes to rest. If other princes dared to be so disrespectful, the emperor would be angry, but now it was Chu Liuchen. , when the emperor's eyes glanced at him, not only did he not blame him at all, but he suddenly remembered that he would have to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse later.

"If King Chen is tired, please go back first!" the emperor said.

"Uncle Emperor, I'm not tired. I have nothing to do. Just listen!" Chu Liuchen opened his eyes, sat upright and said gently.

Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou were very angry after hearing this. Forget Chu Liuchen's attitude of not wanting to live or die, but now he actually said that he wanted to watch their show. The two of them

He is a dignified prince, and he is not an actor. How can others be so contemptuous of him?

But this person happened to be Chu Liuchen, so he had to swallow it if he couldn't.

Sure enough, after listening to Chu Liuchen's words, the emperor nodded and stopped paying attention to him, and did not even blame him for the contemptuous attitude in his words.

"See for yourself what this is?" The emperor pointed at the folded piece that fell to the ground and said angrily to Chu Liuyue.

Chu Liuyue hurriedly picked up the folded book that fell on the ground and read it ten lines at a time. After finishing it, her face changed drastically, she was angry and sad at the same time. She looked up at Chu Liuzhou with deep sadness in her eyes: "Second brother, You...why do you think this matter has something to do with me, I...how could I..."

"Isn't it you?" the emperor asked coldly.

"Father, I really don't know. How could I..." Chu Liuyue kowtowed to the emperor, then raised her head and looked extremely sad.

Di Rufeng's lips trembled twice in panic, and he looked at Chu Liuyue almost desperately. He didn't see the folder and didn't know what was written on it. If the emperor really knew all the inside information, not to mention what happened to King Yue, Everyone in my family can't escape. Well, it's very generous to be removed from this title. Even my life may not be saved!

"You don't know?" the emperor said coldly, pointing at Di Rufeng, "I didn't know that it would be related to him. What do you mean by repeatedly letting your disciples contact him? Could it be that he can still give you money?" ?”

"Father, I really don't know that this person under my sect has more contact with the steward of Yong Kangbo Mansion. Although this person is the steward of Erchen Mansion, he is just a steward of the outer court. He was a failed scholar in the past. , because he was so depressed that he didn’t even have the money to return home. When he was met by his son, he felt pity that he still had some talent, so he made him a steward of the outer courtyard."

Chu Liuzhou's excerpt talks about this steward Ji, saying that he was a retainer sent by Chu Liuyue to form gangs everywhere. There were also some witnesses who saw him, and his purpose should be to monitor the masters of various houses.

This steward surnamed Ji not only has a good relationship with Yong Kangbo, but also has a good relationship with a steward from the Chu Liu Zhou Mansion. Of course, in addition to these two families, he even has a relationship with the Xingguo Hou Mansion. This steward surnamed Ji It can be said that stewards have a wide range of people.

"Father, what I didn't know was that after the incident in Yong Kangbo Mansion, the steward in his mansion came to see him and said that this steward Ji in my eldest brother's mansion had given him several gifts. Qian, befriending him but not saying what he was going to do, Erchen also felt strange, so he sent someone to investigate. Unexpectedly, they found out that Manager Ji had also given money to Yong Kangbo, and It’s not just one transaction, each transaction is also a large amount.”

Chu Liuzhou said angrily, anyone who is plotted by a brother he has always believed in has such an expression. The question is where did he and Chu Liuyue "always believe", even if the two of them look at each other openly As brothers and sisters, they secretly want to trick each other to death. This so-called betrayal is actually nothing.

"Father, I really don't know about this!" Chu Liuyue argued aggrievedly.

"Father, I feel that a small steward cannot afford so much money, and he has given more than one sum!" Chu Liuzhou was furious, "If the elder brother has anything to say, just ask the younger brother directly, why bother?" I secretly paid someone to keep an eye on my younger brother, no wonder what happened in my house is unknown to others, but my eldest brother already knows it!"
