Chapter 204 Night Attack on the Hou Mansion

In the capital city at night, there was a cool breeze. It was already late at night, everything was quiet, and most people had fallen asleep.

There are two mansions located in the west of the capital city, Shouninghou Mansion and Jianchang Bo Mansion. It seems that in order to show the deep brotherhood, the two mansions are closely next to each other, and the middle courtyard wall has been opened to connect them with each other.

.

The servant who was on night watch in the mansion yawned, dragged his stick sleepily, and made a perfunctory inspection around. After finishing his errands, he returned to the watch room and fell asleep.

Under the wall in the backyard of the mansion, several sneaky figures wearing night clothes and black cloth covering their faces were leaning against the wall to listen to what was going on inside.

Although their faces were covered, several people still held their breaths. A dark figure came close to a person who looked like a leader and said in a loud voice: "Brother, do we really want to fight Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo? This is the uncle of the state."

"Who doesn't know that the two of them are uncles?"

The leader's eyes widened, and he didn't care whether the others saw him or not. He lowered his voice and said, "You think I want to beat them, but that's not true."

Speaking of this, he quickly paused, "After a while, Mother Dute was gentle when we went in. When she was beating, she said she was asking for money. After the beating, she ran away. Before leaving, she grabbed something casually. First, she went to the place in the southern suburbs.

We meet at every ruined temple."

"Also, after the matter is done, be strict with your mouth, otherwise you will be found out. No one among us can escape."

Everyone looked stern, "Don't worry, I and the others will definitely keep the matter in their stomachs."

"What are you being humble about? I am your eldest brother now. You are the bandits in my hands. We are the bandits who steal money. Remember your identity. Don't let it slip for a while. If anyone does, it is

Let the brothers die together."

Seeing everyone nodding hurriedly, the leader also nodded, and then raised his hand, and several people quickly stood up and kicked the wall with their feet, and climbed in after a few rubs.

After climbing over the wall, and using the cover of the backyard verandah, the group headed towards the main room, the largest part of the mansion.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but two muffled groans came from the main room of Shouninghou Mansion, but they stopped quickly without attracting anyone’s attention.

"Don't fucking shout. Brothers are just asking for some money. If you shout again, you'll be done with it."

Maybe my soul has been traumatized today. The two brothers of the Zhang family slept together. They were sleeping on the same couch to keep each other warm. They were sleeping soundly when they were dragged out of bed and put on their heads.

sack.

Hearing the threat and the thing pressed against their necks, the two brothers nodded hurriedly and were so frightened that tears almost flowed out. Zhang Heling said: "Brother, we didn't."

"I told you to stop shouting and still shout!"

As he said this, he came up with a clatter of fists and kicks.

"Brother, it was my brother who shouted, I didn't"

"Still shouting."

Another punch and kick.

Several men in black were fighting here, and two others scratched some random things on the table, then took down the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and put them in their arms without caring about the price.

At this time, those few people also quickly stopped, and then everyone opened the door and ran out, and soon disappeared into the vast night.

Only then did the Zhang brothers dare to cry boldly, crying and howling, calling for someone to come. Then candles were lit everywhere in the mansion, and there were bursts of hurried footsteps running around in panic, and then

The sound of gongs in the mansion was endless, resounding throughout the night in the capital.

And those masked men in black had already fled, and they didn't expect that the two uncles of the Zhang family would actually sleep together, which saved a lot of trouble.

But bah, two grown men hugging each other while sleeping is so damn disgusting.

——————————————

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi in the Forbidden City had finished his day's government affairs and returned to the Queen's palace, Kunning Palace, to rest.

Sitting on the couch, soaking his feet in a silver basin with richly carved patterns, he soaked his feet in hot water while enjoying the shoulder massage from Queen Zhang.

"Now I have been harmed a lot by your two younger brothers. I promised Xia Qing's family not to take any extra points, but now I have broken my promise."

As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be angry, but after a moment, he suppressed it again.

When he first came back and learned about this, he wanted to have an attack, but how could he have an attack? Should he punish the two brothers-in-law, or reprimand his own queen?

He wanted to do the former, but couldn't do it, and he couldn't bear the latter.

Or do you want help back?

But according to what the queen said, Xia Qing's family had already agreed, and it was painful to do so.

"With a living, these two people can be honest if they want to."

Empress Zhang stopped her movements slightly and then said, "Besides, I did a good job of disciplining them today."

"You scolded them again?" Zhu Youtang no longer had any hope in this so-called discipline. As a husband, he knew only how much Empress Zhang doted on her two younger brothers.

Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their children, and so does loving sister. Those two people are so useless that it is unbearable to look at them.

He has always been prejudiced against this kind of doting, and has repeatedly wanted to punish them, but every time he changed his mind because of the queen's plea.

"My concubine slapped each of them, and today they are still seeking death and survival in Kunning Palace."

"oh?"

Zhu Youtang let out an ooh, and a feeling of joy suddenly surged in his heart. He remembered the last time the queen beat them, which was several years ago, and the mistakes they committed that time were countless times bigger than this time.

While drinking, he wears the crown of his emperor and teases the palace maids.

This crime is not serious enough to allow others to behead the capital, and it can even be directly treated as a crime of treason.

But the final result was that they were let go lightly, and the queen slapped each of them several times.

And what happened today is nothing compared to that time, and they were able to get the Queen to slap them.

Zhu Youtang really wanted to praise the fan, but he held it back and pretended to be calm and asked: "Why is Shujun so cruel today?"

"My concubine's two younger brothers were so incompetent that they actually wanted my husband to withdraw the fifty thousand taels of silver from his internal funds. I couldn't stand it, so I gave them a lesson."

"."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Shujun also wants me to help you pay for the fifty thousand taels of silver."

"."

Empress Zhang was silent for a while, and then sighed faintly, "Husband, I have been thinking about it a lot today. If not, let's help them pay for it."

She really had nothing to do with these two younger brothers. Even though she scolded them cruelly and beat them today, once the two left and the anger gradually dissipated, she couldn't help but start to think about whether to help or not.

I was about to take out the money, and after thinking about it, I decided to do it.

Anyway, the amount of money I spent on them before was enough, and it would not be short of the fifty thousand taels.

Empress Zhang couldn't do anything against her two brothers, while Emperor Hongzhi couldn't do anything against Empress Zhang. The emotions in her heart were simply hard to describe, but then I thought about it. In the past, I helped these two brothers-in-law build houses and buy fields, and they had already spent tens of taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels seems to be no less than fifty thousand taels.

What's more, the internal funds are quite abundant now, so the lack of 50,000 taels is nothing.

"It's okay, Shujun, let me think about it."

Just as he was talking, a eunuch knelt on the ground in the outer palace and said, "The emperor, the empress, Hou Ninghou and Uncle Jianchang are knocking on the door outside the palace, saying they want to meet the emperor."
