Chapter 319 Revenge
Mrs. Zhao Guogong and Ming Zhen were at odds with each other, and a happy feeling of revenge soon arose in her heart.
Because the loan sharking incident was exposed by that little bitch Ling Chu, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation.
Although Zhao Guogong's wife, in order to cover up the private loan of loan sharks, described the loan loan as charity money to help those poor families.
However, Jinyiwei discovered that two people committed suicide because they could not repay the high loan sharking, and that Duke Zhao was corrupt in official affairs.
In anger, the emperor not only ordered Zhao Guogong's wife to be flogged fifty times, but also ordered Zhao Guogong to be flogged eighty times.
He also decreed that Duke Zhao Guo be demoted to the title of Marquis of Huaiyuan.
Because of this incident, Mrs. Guo was dissatisfied with Mr. Guo.
Zhao Guogong was full of complaints against Guo.
Since he was demoted to Huaiyuan Hou, Zhao Guogong has never set foot in her yard.
Every day he would either stay in the courtyard of each concubine's room, or sleep in the outer room of the house.
Outsiders only saw her glory as the princess's wife, but they could not see the pain in her heart.
Zhao Guogong has never been able to hold important positions as the emperor and does not have much real power in his hands. Although the Duke's Mansion looks beautiful on the outside, it is almost an empty shell inside.
When Mrs. Guo married Zhao Guogong, although her dowry was rich, in order to maintain the dignity of the Duke's palace, she could only use her own dowry to supplement it year after year.
No matter how much dowry she had, she couldn't bear it.
In order to maintain her dignity, she had no choice but to take risks and borrow money privately.
Not only did the wife know about this, but even Duke Zhao also acquiesced.
When nothing happened, the money she earned was spent all over the house without even a word of praise.
Now that something happened, everyone blamed her.
Guo was whipped and demoted from the Duke's wife to the Marquis's wife. She felt regretful and resentful in her heart. She stayed alone in the empty boudoir every night, and she accumulated a lot of resentment in her heart.
No matter how much she paid for the entire Duke's palace, no matter what, the Duke would still sleep with concubines and support his wife.
Taoist Mingzhen is right. In this case, why should she stay alone in the empty boudoir every night?
It's a pity that her delicate flower died in vain, she also wanted to be nourished.
Guo's mind quickly turned back to Taoist Mingzhen.
I don’t know if it’s the secret excitement of having an affair or the effect of drugs.
Or both.
Mrs. Guo actually felt that Ming Zhen's bed skills were no worse than those of Zhao Guogong and Qing Yang.
Mr. Guo sank deeper and deeper.
Maybe it was to take revenge on Duke Zhao, and Guo felt relieved.
His hands and feet were tied up together.
The voice was no longer suppressed, but started to scream with joy.
This Zhuangzi is the dowry property of the Guo family, and all the people in Zhuangzi are her people.
After Mrs. Guo arrived, she sent all the people serving in the courtyard away.
In addition, they were in a secret room in her yard, and Guo was not afraid of anyone hearing her. She had no scruples at all and even let go of her throat to scream.
And Mingzhen felt even more excited and proud when he saw Mrs. Guo like this.
He had always known that Guo was having an affair with Qingyang.
When Qingyang was alive, Mr. Guo would occasionally go to Chongxu Temple to have trysts with Qingyang in the name of offering incense.
But more often than not, it was Qingyang who came to Zhuangzi to wait for Guo.
Ming Zhen has long coveted the still-charming Guo family, but it was difficult for him to take action because Qing Yang was in the way.
Now that he saw that the once-high-ranking Duke of Guo's wife had been stolen by him and cuckolded the Duke of Zhao, Mingzhen became even more excited and used various means to torture Guo.
Mingzhen guessed that Jin Yiwei would arrest him, and originally he wanted to find Han Yao. Unfortunately, the Dingyuan Palace was heavily guarded and he had no chance to enter.
We can only retreat and find the next best thing to Mrs. Zhao Guogong.
Now that he has got the Guo family, and with this relationship between the two of them, there is no need to worry that the Jin Yiwei will find out where he is hiding.
Mr. Guo will definitely try his best to hide his whereabouts, and he will not have to worry about eating and drinking at Zhuangzi.
…
Now that we have clues, there is no reason to let Taoist Mingzhen go.
Ling Chu followed Ning Chuyi out of the city and rushed to Zhuangzi, where Mrs. Zhao Guogong lived.
As soon as I got off the carriage at the door, Qingfeng arrived just in time.
Qingfeng was surprised to see Ling Chu come to him so quickly, "Xiaosi, I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that your skills are better than those of my senior brother."
Taoist Master Mingzhen carved himself with a puppet, and also carved his birthday and birth date. He used mysticism to make avatars and placed them in different places.
Qingfeng missed the target several times before finding the hiding place of Taoist Mingzhen.
He didn't expect that the junior sister would be found right away.
Ling Chu shook his head, "Third senior brother misunderstood. Lord Ning found this place."
Qingfeng glanced at Ning Chuyi, who was listening to what his subordinates were saying, and her affection for him increased.
When I saw that he agreed to save Ling Chu's soul without hesitation, I had a good impression of him.
Now that he has found the hiding place of Taoist Mingzhen so quickly, he has a better understanding of his abilities.
I am preparing to enter Zhuangzi.
But suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves running towards this direction.
Ling Chu turned his head subconsciously and found that the person who came was actually Duke Zhao, accompanied by several guards.
Ling Chu frowned and walked quickly to Ning Chuyi, "Sir, Duke Zhao is here. Do you want to stop him?"
Ning Chuyi glanced sideways at her, "Don't worry, it was me who sent him the letter."
Ling Chu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he believed that since he did so, he must have his reasons.
Ning Chuyi saw that he was thinking about something, and corrected her, "Because of the private loan, the Duke of Zhao was demoted to Huaiyuan Marquis by the emperor. Remember, don't call him the wrong name again."
Ling Chu looked at him with bright eyes. After she broke off the marriage with the Duke of Zhao's mansion, she forgot about them and didn't even notice that the Duke of Zhao was demoted.
She broke off the marriage with Zhao Jingming, the wife of the Duke of Zhao's lover died at her hands, and the Duke of Zhao was demoted to a marquis because of the loan.
It seems that her hatred with the Duke of Zhao's mansion is really getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing that there was no smile on her face, Ning Chuyi couldn't help but blurt out, "I'm here, don't worry."
Ling Chu looked at him in surprise.
Qingfeng, who was checking the environment of the manor, turned around and saw them standing together and talking. He frowned and suddenly the alarm bells rang in his heart.
It felt like the little rabbit he had carefully raised was about to be taken away by the big bad wolf.
Qingfeng felt unhappy for no reason, and suddenly he even felt that he disliked Lord Ning.
Duke Zhao received the letter sent by Ning Chuyi, and hurried over anxiously.
After getting off the horse, his eyes paused on Ling Chu, and then moved to the young man in white next to him.
Although he felt that the young man looked familiar, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.
He walked quickly to Ning Chuyi to greet him, "I wonder what Lord Ning asked someone to send a letter to me?"
Ning Chuyi glanced at him and said coldly, "Marquis Huaiyuan, there is no need to be polite. The Taoist priest of Chongxu Temple intends to rebel, and the emperor has ordered his arrest.
I received a clue that Taoist Mingzhen escaped into the manor of your lady, so I asked someone to send you a letter."
