Lord, I heard that you are bent? [rebirth]

Zhang Zhaoxu swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of the soup to clear his mouth, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered mysteriously: "We have discovered a big secret!"

"Well, what's the secret?" Duan Hongjing blocked Niu Dashan's chopsticks for picking up food for him, "I don't want fish, fishy."

Niu Dashan frowned, retracted his chopsticks and took a bite: "It doesn't smell fishy. Didn't you say you like this fish two days ago?"

Duan Hongjing shook his head: "Perhaps the kitchen is out of standard today?"

Niu Dashan had no choice but to give up, put down the fish, turned his chopsticks to other dishes.

"Hey, hey, hey, I said," Zhang Zhaoxu looked helpless, "Can you restrain yourself a little bit, Chen Er and I are still here! Chen Er, do you think so?"

Chen Er hummed calmly, and picked up a vegetable dish for him with chopsticks.

Duan Hongjing glanced at them meaningfully: "Oh, I thought you were used to it."

"Be serious! It's not a matter of getting used to it or not." Zhang Zhaoxu was annoyed, "I still have important things to say, you two don't just care about each other."

"Okay, say what you say!" Duan Hongjing surrendered.

"Cough cough." Zhang Zhaoxu cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "Chen Er found out that my family and the fourth prince have..." He paused, and his voice became a little softer, "There is collusion."

Duan Hongjing, who was carelessly picking up rice, took a meal and put down the bowl: "Your family? Yiyonghou? What's the collusion?"

Although Zhang Zhaoxu's father, the Yiyonghou of this generation, did not make any achievements, the Zhang family built their family with military exploits after all.

Although Zhang Zhaoxu's grandfather has passed away, his connections and influence among generals are still there. Otherwise, this generation of Yiyong Houkong would not be able to live such a prosperous life with his title.

And if such Zhang family colluded with the fourth prince, it must be related to military power.

However, if we can really dig out these things, we can pull down the mindless fourth brother.

At that time, the second brother's seat will be secure.

In the future, he will be able to raise his baby with peace of mind.

If not——

"It's soldiers." Zhang Zhaoxu whispered.

"How to say?"

"Chen Er, you found out, you tell me." Zhang Zhaoxu turned his head and called out rudely.

Chen Er put down his chopsticks helplessly, without saying a word of nonsense, he said directly: "Marquis Yiyong and the generals in the south will join forces to pay for nothing."

Duan Hongjing frowned: "Military officers come with little money, as long as they are not at the border, if they eat nothing, if it doesn't affect the overall situation, father will always turn a blind eye to it."

Chen Er continued: "Not only that, but according to what they said, the south has been recruiting soldiers one after another in recent years. Although the number is not large, the vacancies have been maintained at that value."

Duan Hongjing pondered: "In the past few years, I haven't seen the Nanfang increase the food and salary with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of War. The extra soldiers..." Thinking of some possibility, he was startled, "Are they raising private soldiers?"

Chen Er nodded: "I guess so." Zhang Zhaoxu nodded frantically beside him.

Duan Hongjing was overjoyed: "Is there any evidence?"

"I found out the place where Hou Yiyong hid his letters yesterday. If you want, you can take it out at any time."

Zhang Zhaoxu looked proud: "Chen Er is amazing! He found out such big news without anyone noticing."

Duan Hongjing looked sideways: "What does he have to do with you?"

Zhang Zhaoxu choked and scratched his head: "It seems to be the same."

Chen Er laughed, and raised his hand to touch his head.

"By the way, Chen Er, why did you suddenly go to Cha Yi Yonghou?"

Before Chen Er could speak, Zhang Zhaoxu interjected, "Didn't I complain to you last time that my aunt gave me a wrong match? I thought Chen Er was free, so I asked him to help check my aunt and wanted to catch her." Let her stop staring at me."

Hearing this, Niu Dashan turned his head to look at Chen Er: "Go and check these, have all the guards in the mansion been arranged?"

"Although everything has been arranged," Chen Er nodded, "but the subordinate did leave his post without permission. Tomorrow, he will go to the punishment hall to receive the punishment."

Niu Dashan nodded.

Only then did Zhang Zhaoxu come to his senses: "Hong Jing, don't blame him. It's all my fault! I, I, I see that Mr. Niu is recovering from his injuries, and you stay in the mansion every day and don't go out. He reckons he will be more idle... Don't blame him, I pestered him to ask him to help. And he only comes here at night, and he won't leave the house during the day." He was at a loss, looking at Duan Hongjing anxiously.

Duan Hongjing looked at the serious Niu Dashan, then at the tense Zhang Zhaoxu, and thought for a while: "Okay, although Chen Er did something wrong, but this time he has done a great job, let's make up for it."

Niu Dashan is naturally everything.

Zhang Zhaoxu was overjoyed immediately: "Hey, right, Chen Er has made great contributions."

Chen Er cupped his hands: "Thank you, Master, Second Lord."

Duan Hongjing waved his hand, and then jokingly said: "Next time you want to go out to find Zhaoxu, just tell us. Anyway, Daniel must be with me, and it doesn't matter if you are there or not."

The meaning in the words made Chen Er a little embarrassed, he coughed twice: "Thank you, master."

Zhang Zhaoxu, who was still ignorant, patted his thick arm: "Hey, you don't mind Hong Jing anymore, you should come to play with me more often in the future—"

Duan Hongjing interrupted him: "Talk about business." He concentrated, "If it's really raising private soldiers, I must stab them up here. The Yiyonghou's mansion will definitely fall, and even the people in Yiyonghou's mansion will also fall. Your life is in danger...you..."

"I know. I came here to tell you after thinking about it." Zhang Zhaoxu interrupted him, "They deserve what they deserve! Since my mother was killed, before the first seven days have passed, my father has been accepting new people, and even despised my mother's body as bad luck. He ruined his mood, polluted his house, and my aunt even let her be buried hastily... I just," he looked disgusted, "I wish I could kill all the wolves in sheep's clothing in that mansion. Killed. Now that they have caused trouble themselves, they can do whatever they want."

Chen Er stroked his hair and comforted him silently.

"Then what are your plans?" Duan Hongjing asked with concern, "The Marquis of Yiyong will definitely lose his title, and even your father's life... As for the others, depending on the plot, they may be exiled or demoted. But you..."

Zhang Zhaoxu waved his hand: "Since they deserve what they deserve, let's live and die. In this way, I have avenged my mother. Otherwise, why would I tell you this. As for me..." He smiled wryly, "It's also life and death, right? .”

Duan Hongjing stared at him for a while, and then at Chen Er.No wonder Chen Er hurriedly followed to talk about it, it seemed that he wanted him to find a way to get Zhang Zhaoxu out.

Zhang Zhaoxu continued: "Anyway, I have enjoyed enough eating, drinking and having fun for so many years. Fortunately, I haven't got married yet, so my wife and children won't be affected."

Chen Er looked at Duan Hongjing pleadingly.

Duan Hongjing sighed.After thinking about it for a moment, he analyzed: "My fourth brother got involved in it. In order to keep him, the emperor will definitely not make this matter public. From this point of view, the emperor must also use excuses for Yi Yonghou. Punishment in the name of something else." The more he thought about it, the more likely it was, and he nodded to himself, "Plus, just after the incident in Xining, your fifth-rank Yunqi Captain's hat is still warm, so it must still be somewhat useful. Plus I will protect you... Although I can't pick you out, it should be possible to protect your life."

Chen Er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhaoxu was also pleasantly surprised: "Oh, of course it's best not to die!" After relaxing, he began to push forward, "Can I keep my mother's dowry?"

Duan Hongjing touched his chin: "Why don't you report it with the evidence? Do you want to kill your relatives? Maybe the father will return your mother's dowry to you. However, even if the matter will not be spread, but behind your back There must be many people who know about the stabbing. In this way, your reputation will not be very good. "

"Cheng Chengcheng! Let's do it like this!" Zhang Zhaoxu didn't mind at all, "What is reputation? Thanks to my aunt and brothers, my reputation has long been notorious, and girls from good families are not willing to marry me. If If I didn't go to Xining, at this moment, I guess I will continue to be disgusted by my aunt's relatives who come out of nowhere."

"That's fine. Let's discuss how to proceed next." Duan Hongjing no longer objected.

No matter what Zhang Zhaoxu chooses to do, it will always end better than his previous life——

In his previous life, Zhang Zhaoxu was forced to marry a businessman whose aunt was a matchmaker in the past two years. Unexpectedly, that woman was fierce and jealous. During her pregnancy, she even fought with her brother and sister-in-law for a momentary quarrel, and directly beat the child away. Both are difficult to conceive.

To be heirs and to avoid this uneducated shrew, Zhang Zhaoxu adopted several women, but the house was even more restless, and several children were not even born in time, and the children who were finally born did not survive the first year. up.

Yiyonghou even thought that his family lost their stars.

Later, I only heard that he fell into a slump in the end, and was just drunk and dreaming every day...

For Zhang Zhaoxu, it may be a blessing to leave the Yiyonghou Mansion.

After the discussion that night, Zhang Zhaoxu was sent back by Chen Er in the dark.

In the past few days, when Chen Er got the evidence, together with the evidence of Duan Honghui's child molestation collected by Daniel, and then reported it together, Duan Honghui would be completely unable to stand up.

Duan Hongjing slept happily and beautifully, but when she woke up, she received an invitation.

He frowned and stared at the invitation in Niu Dashan's hand, and complained: "Receiving this guy's invitation early in the morning really spoils my mood."

"En." Niu Dashan put down the invitation card and brought him warm bird's nest with rock sugar, "Drink some bird's nest to moisten first."

Duan Hongjing took it over: "What's in it?"

"The Fourth Highness held a banquet at his mansion tonight, and said it was to make amends for you."

Duan Hongjing looked up in surprise, and after thinking about it, he turned the corner: "It seems that Concubine Duan gave him an idea. I guess he is still holding his breath in his heart." He hooked his lips and smiled, "Then I will return tonight tonight." Really go to this feast of apology and see what good things he can say! After two days, he won't be able to be arrogant anymore."

"Ah."

"You go too, um, bring a few more guards. I'm worried that this guy will be provoked by my few words and will do it again." Of course, if he doesn't say anything, Daniel will definitely follow.

Ever since this guy knew he was pregnant, except for the time when he was recovering from his injuries, he really never left him.

"Hmm." Niu Dashan looked calm and thought for a while, "He seems to have invited the princes."

"Huh?" Duan Hongjing frowned, quickly took the invitation card on the table, opened it and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, from one to five, five princes who have already opened their houses are all invited.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Duan Hongjing rubbed his chin thinking.
