Chapter 383 383: Shen Guo Bagua [Two in One]
As soon as these words came out, the mourning hall was silent.
The envoy naturally heard the evil in Zhai Huan's words.
The so-called "material objects" are clothes or odds and ends, not a person anyway. In front of the envoy, Zhai Huan insulted the sister of the current king in a roundabout way. What he said was no different from a slap in the face. The messenger's face darkened.
Changing his previous flattering tone, he sneered with a bit of condescending arrogance: "Zhai Lang has no merit, how dare he despise Wang Ji? Thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. Wang Ji favors you, you You should serve with your own body!”
Zhai Le almost exploded after hearing this.
Zhai Huan raised his hand to stop him and said softly: "According to the national law, the wife dies and the husband dies in twelve months. Before my wife's first seven days passed, Wang Ji sent an envoy to visit, one of them defied the national law, It was a waste of ethical principles; secondly - the cause of my wife's death was strange. "
He didn't say anything else, he just looked at the messenger with his indifferent and cold eyes, as if he were a dead person.
The envoy did not panic at all. He had helped Wang Ji handle similar tasks not once or twice, and he had already become familiar with it.
So what if Zhai Huan has evidence? Can he still file a complaint? Can you sue? If the king of the country knew that his sister was in love with Zhai Huan, it would be a good thing if he didn't push Zhai Huan and send him to his precious sister. Who dares to disobey?
Not to mention a mere Zhai Huan.
It was Shuji's brother-in-law, and she got it after she took a fancy to it. In the eyes of the envoy, Zhai Huan's words and actions were simply seeking death. Do you really think that the Qudian Zhai family was from decades ago?
The most glorious era has long passed. The older generation has died, the disabled has become disabled, and the younger generation has retired to seclusion. Which of the younger generations can shoulder the responsibility of the Zhai family? The messenger sneered contemptuously.
"What did Mr. Zhai say? Do you want to accuse the dignified Wang Ji of killing innocent women for the sake of superficial male lust?"
Zhai Le heard the envoy use the contemptuous word "male lust" to describe his family's Tang. Brother, I’m still in front of my cousin’s mourning hall! Anger surged up again, and he looked at his cousin and asked, "As long as he gives the order, the messenger will stand upright and walk out of the mourning hall of Zhai Mansion today!"
Zhai Huan was indifferent.
Flicking his sleeves, he half-turned his back to the messenger.
No one knew that the veins in his sleeves had already popped out, and he said lightly: "Not the best."
Zhai Le opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Brother!"
< b r>Zhai Huan ignored him: "Today is the seventh day of my wife's life. There is a lot of yin in the house, so there will be a collision. It is best for the messenger to leave early. My wife was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. No matter how stubborn and vengeful she is, she can't hold a grudge."
Being ordered to be expelled, the envoy snorted heavily.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something.
His eyes circled Zhai Le's body several times, and he smiled.
"Since Zhai Lang must keep his wife's filial piety and cannot marry within a year, it is not easy for His Highness to force it. It is bad luck. It's just that His Highness admires Zhai's family tradition and also admires Alang..."
Zhai Huan: "What do you mean?"
The envoy said: "The husband of the second wife is also good."
Zhai Le almost jumped up and pointed at the envoy's nose and cursed, what are these things, are you talking about this in front of the mourning hall?
Ashamed or not, shameless? Judging from the faces of the envoys sent by Shuji, the death of my cousin-in-law is probably related to them.
Zhai Huan: "Wang Ji admires A Le?"
The envoy deliberately disgusted Zhai Huan: "Zhai Xiaofang has not yet reached the crown, so she is not engaged or already married, right? Zhai's short life There are two funerals in time, so..."
Zhai Le looked at the envoy angrily.
The Zhai clan members in the mourning hall also stood up one after another. The older ones turned pale with anger and could hardly catch their breath. The messenger's words were not only a clear threat, but also a disguised admission that the death of the clan's wife was Shuji's intention.
This is no longer a door-to-door provocation! The behavior is outrageous! The envoy was not afraid. He bet that Zhai would not dare to take action.
The Zhai Mansion did not take action.
To be precise, someone wanted to take action, but was stopped by Zhai Huan. He said indifferently: "We need to fight out. This is the mourning hall of the wife, and the blood of not just anything can stain this place. Please note this matter, the envoy."
When the messenger saw this, he sneered and strode away.
When he reached the gate, he turned around and looked in the direction of the plaque on the gate of Zhai Mansion, and spat.
“Bah, what a coward!”
The messenger went back to reply to Shu Ji.
Telling out everything that happened in the mourning hall with more detail and jealousy made Shuji giggle and make her flowers tremble. The messenger squatted half-crouched, pinched Shuji's calf with both hands with moderate strength, relieved her fatigue, and gave Zhai Huan eye drops: "I see, this Zhai Yue scholar has a false reputation, and he is also greedy for life and afraid of death. He knows that the cause of the woman's death is strange, and he is very frightened. Dare to make trouble.”
Shuji was lazy and half-relying.
"Really so cowardly?"
The messenger said: "Cowardly! That Zhai Xiaofang is very angry. He tried to attack several times but was stopped by him. He was also afraid of the majesty of the Tian family and a disaster would come. . The appearance of gold and jade is ruined, but the skin on the whole body can be deceiving..."
After hearing this, Shuji's interest dropped by three points.
“I didn’t expect that he was also a heartless person...” But she still did not forget the Zhai Huan she saw on the river that day. The elegant scholar standing in the wind. She has seen this kind of vulgar man a lot, but she still hasn't given up the idea of getting it. She wants to get it and then throw it away, "How about that Zhai Xiaofang?"
The messenger seemed to have a bit of envy in his eyes.
"Unlike his cousin, he is a brave warrior with outstanding talents. Although he is not old, he is not comparable to those thin scribes. If you look closer, three points of beauty can be turned into ten points. Only It's a pity that the funeral hall is dressed in mourning clothes. If she wears bright red clothes, she will look stunning in the world. "The envoy knew Shu Ji's taste very well.
She likes Yishui'er scribes. What she likes is their skin and the exquisite bookish temperament of dealing with letters all year round. It's like eating fish and meat all the year round, and occasionally wants to change the taste and taste it. But I love brave warriors more, what I like is their skin, and their ferocity in sex.
The scribes were very arrogant, and those who were truly courageous refused to crawl at her feet. Those who were willing to crawl, she despised because they were not noble and arrogant enough, but brave warriors were different. The threshold for brave warriors is low, and they come from all kinds of backgrounds. There are too many people who want to rely on her to rise to the top, and they use all kinds of tricks to please her.
Zhai Le is more likely to arouse Shuji's interest.
"Seriously?"
Shu Ji's eyes seemed to light up a few times.
The envoy came close to her ear: "Seriously, I heard that when Zhai Le left Shen State to travel around various countries, he was already a sixth-rank official. Several years have passed, and now he is probably a seventh-rank official."
Sook Ji was completely intrigued.
Although she is so pampered, her brother will give her any man she wants, but for the safety of her life, the level of a martial artist will never be too high - of course, high-level martial artists will not disdain to fight with her. She was obsessed with it.
Unexpectedly, Zhai Le had such foundation at such a young age. She frowned, feeling a little moved and a little worried. After all, she is an ordinary person. Although she is protected by powerful warriors at all times, when it comes to the bed, this protection is greatly reduced.
If Zhai Le wants to take revenge, his own life will be at stake.
She likes men, but she cares more about this life.
The messenger noticed her concerns, leaned over and whispered something into her ear. Shuji's eyes became brighter and brighter.
“It’s so good.”
Shuji had been urged by the Queen Mother to get married.
Her brother Wang also helped to identify young talents.
But when every family heard that she was getting married, they all hid faster than a rabbit. On the first day they said there was no match, but on the second day they found a good woman, hoping to complete all the procedures in one day. There have been one marriage after another in the capital in the past two years.
Shu Ji was so angry.
This is when I went out to have fun and relax.
Outside the capital, there were many people who wanted to curry favor with her.
But none of them satisfied her.
This Zhai Xiaofang is not bad.
Being a family, there are many opportunities for Zhai Huan to become her own. With this layer of eldest brother status, her freshness may last longer. Shuji yawned and closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the messenger's attentive service.
Zhai Mansion has been in turmoil.
To be more precise, Zhai Huan was served by the head of the Zhai family who hurried back after hearing the news. Zhai Le's father couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. When Zhai Huan's other brothers heard the details of what happened in the mourning hall, they also felt a little disdainful of Zhai Huan's cowardice.
Is this still the same Zhai Huan from back then?
My unmarried wives were all killed...
What else could he endure?
The bullying has reached the mourning hall, how can I retreat?
If the Shen Kingdom cannot survive, all the family can do is relocate. The current leader of the country is very stretched and cannot control the entire Shen Kingdom. As long as he leaves his sphere of influence, where can't he survive?
"Uncle..."
Zhai Le almost got kicked when he wanted to plead for mercy.
"Go and watch, don't speak for the traitor!"
Zhai Le was mentioned aside by his father. Zhai Huan still didn't say a word.
His father gets angry when he sees him like this.
I went out for a trip and my blood was gone.
"Zhai Yuewen, what on earth do you want to do?"
Zhai Le saw blood stains on the sleeves of Zhai Huan's mourning clothes, and relying on his favor, he carried his uncle back.
He pulled the father and son apart and said hurriedly: "Uncle, if you hit me again, something will happen! Brother is injured!"
Injured?
The head of the Zhai family pushed up Zhai Huan's sleeve, and the blood wet the white cloth, and a small snake flowed out.
“When did you get injured?”
Zhai Huan looked at the wound with sad eyes.
Only then did Zhai Le remember that the location of the wound on his brother's arm was exactly the same as that on his cousin's body.
"Father." Zhai Huan put down his sleeve - the wound was wrapped in wound cloth. No one knew that there was a piece of meat missing, a piece of meat bitten off with his teeth - he said, " My way of being a scribe has been perfected..."
The head of the Zhai family did not react for a moment.
“You——”
The way of the scribes is easy to awaken but difficult to achieve perfection. Different people have different ways of achieving perfection, which has no reference value. All I know is that once you have mastered the way of the scribes to a certain level, you will naturally know how to perfect it.
Zhai Huan's way of being a scribe is the "Eight-Day Divination".
A hexagram can be made every eight days to know the future.
To perfect it, one must be heartbroken when losing a loved one, and become one with the other person's flesh and blood.
Zhai Huan knew the way to perfection on the day he obtained the way of being a scribe, but he neither disdained nor wanted to perfect it.
Isn’t the absence of a loved one a disability?
What kind of perfection is this?
Moreover, there is an extremely strict "hidden rule" here - he cannot take the initiative to kill his relatives and loved ones in order to perfect the way of being a scribe, or even have such thoughts. Because once thoughts arise, it means that his pursuit of worldly interests surpasses his closest relatives and loved ones, and his feelings are not pure.
Of course, the other person is not considered a close relative.
“Because of Ah Jing?”
Zhai Huan said: “Yes.”
"Then what are you going to do?"
The son who was raised by himself knows this clearly.
Zhai Huan is not someone who can swallow his anger.
"Shu Ji relied on the king and the queen mother. They gave her the confidence to do evil."
His enemy was not Shu Ji at all.
It's the Shen royal family.
"You——"
Zhai Huan said: "Son, you can."
At the moment when the way of the scribe was perfected, he knew that he was not far from revenge. In the initial stage of the scribe's way, one can only use hexagrams to predict certain things in the future. After reaching perfection, every seven days, one can arbitrarily interfere with anyone's past.
Even if it consumes his lifespan every time it is activated.
"The Royal Court is not so easy to approach. The Zhai family has only a few thousand retainers..."
Go to the Royal Court?
Impossible.
Zhai Huan smiled coldly, looked at the memorial tablet in the mourning hall, and said: "We don't have one, so let's borrow it from someone."
"Borrow?"
"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding the capital."
"The commander is a relative of the lord of the country."
It's strange that someone can borrow it.
Zhai Huan’s answer is that he can borrow it.
But we still need an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the capital and the royal court openly.
The head of the Zhai family suddenly thought: "What opportunity?"
Zhai Huan looked at his precious cousin: "In less than two days, that Shu Ji will come to ask for Ah Le's hand in marriage..."
The head of the Zhai family: "..."
He should kill this abnormal son.
Zhai Le looked horrified.
Zhai Huan is indeed not normal.
All kinds of rumors and rumors enveloped the Zhai family, and everyone in the city began to talk about it, including all kinds of unpleasant things. The local aristocratic families watched the excitement with cold eyes, while some scratched their heads and wondered why Mrs. Zhai actually agreed to a marriage from the king.
Outsiders all said that Zhai Huan was prepared to sacrifice his cousin to save the family.
I was so sad for a while.
The Zhao family of Xunnan was the most shocked by this. When the Zhao family heard the news, she fainted on the spot and woke up crying.
What is as ridiculous as this wedding is its speed. All the procedures are finalized in half a month, and the wedding will be completed by the end of the month.
The head of the country was a little worried. He knew his sister well, so he investigated the Zhai family, only to find that the Zhai family was only serious about preparing for marriage. Although he didn't feel good about it, he didn't go on strike to protest... Are you ready to accept your fate?
I don’t understand.
But what is more confusing to the ruler of the country, the common people, and the aristocratic families watching the excitement is yet to come. On the day of the wedding, the king's most trusted relative and uncle led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surround the palace under the leadership of Zhai Huan, chopping melons and vegetables along the way, and blood flowed like a river.
The red gauze curtain is not as bloody and dazzling as the ground.
The king looked at the soldiers and horses surrounding the main hall in shock and fear. The leader was his uncle. Did his uncle rebel?
"What's going on?"
The ministers were also confused about what was going on.
But each of them has two knives on their necks.
We can only watch the show first.
Until, a young man dressed in mourning clothes walked out of the army with a cold expression. Who else could he be if he wasn't Zhai Huan? He said: "Nothing happened. He is loyal to me, that's all."
The king said angrily: "Impossible!"
Zhai Huan: "Nothing is impossible."
Because in the eyes of this commander, Zhai Huan is the "real nephew". He was brought up by the Zhai family due to an accident. The current nephew of the king is just a fake who was exchanged for the prince. Leading troops to surround the palace is not a rebellion, but a way to protect the king.
The king was so angry that he wanted to sacrifice the national seal.
Result——
In full view of everyone, the king actually rolled up and down, with tears streaming down his face, and handed the national seal to Zhai Huan with his own hands, shouting "Brother". Zhai Huan raised his hand to take it and admired it.
Indifferently said: "Kill him."
The king who had woken up was wondering what had happened to him, when a white light burst in front of his eyes...
His biological uncle , cut off his head.
After Zhai Huan has perfected his way as a scribe, he can forcibly attach his own existence to the other person's past memory.
In the eyes of the commander-in-chief of the capital, Zhai Huan is the king of the country living among the people, but the real king is a fake, his behavior is ridiculous and will not last long, so Zhai Huan invited him to join him, and he agreed.
After this is accomplished, his status will rise to the next level.
As for the leader of the country, he was not influenced by the scribes' ways, but simply because he was too naive and was influenced by Zhai Huanyanling.
PS: Zhai Huan and his wife are an arm-biting ally (in fact, it only suffices to bite the blood, but because of Zhai Huan’s scholarly ways, she bites off the meat. Shuji sent someone to let her eat it at home) life and her own Making a choice, she chose to save the whole family, biting her arm to show her determination not to give in. Because the cause was Zhai Huan, her mother-in-law had a grudge against Zhai Huan)
