Enter the Room

Upon hearing this, Hong Xi looked at Song Tao with a serious look.

She suddenly felt uncomfortable, couldn't help but pull her sleeves, and said with an incomprehensible look on her face: "Master Hong, can't you trust me?"

Hong Xi suddenly smiled and said: "That's not true. I just think that in the Song family, women are really better than men."

Is he praising Song Jieyun?

Song Jiuyun and he had never spoken a few words in his life, and a fiancé appeared out of nowhere, but he was always thinking about Song Jiyun?

Is it possible that people are born with a destiny?

Song Tao was filled with hatred, but she didn't dare to express it.

She was afraid of causing Hong Xi's dissatisfaction, and Hong Xi would ignore her and leave her alone.

She didn't know why she was reborn, but since she could live another life, she didn't want to lose her life without doing anything.

"Where!" She said with a helpless look, "It's just that everyone in the Song family has some talent for making porcelain, so we have no choice but to use it to make a living."

Hong Xi was noncommittal. Before he could speak, Old Man Hong's voice sounded from the cell: "Axi, come here, I have something to tell you."

Song Tao couldn't help but hold on to the wooden railing tightly and watched Hong Xi walking towards Mr. Hong in a hurry.

Hong Xi, do you dislike seeing Mr. Hong?

An idea suddenly appeared in Song Tao's mind, and she saw Mrs. Hong whispering something to Hong Xi in a low voice. Hong Xi suddenly laughed and said: "Grandpa, are you an old fool? Who are you?" Everyone knows that King Ning is not easy to mess with, and everyone knows that Emperor Taizu once left a last word. Anyone who dares to impeach the descendants of the old Zhu family is sowing discord and a sycophant. Otherwise, how could King Ning dare to whip the court officials in his territory at will? Yuan Yunzhong seemed to be a smart man at first glance. He came to Jiangxi quietly and investigated the case quietly. He was even prepared to fool him.

“Who knew that things would change overnight, Yuan Yunzhong ransacked the houses of Prince Ning’s confidants without saying a word, and put them all in jail.

"Do you still think that this is Yuan Yunzhong trying to get angry with Prince Ning, and the two of them are competing for supremacy?

"Have you never thought about what the emperor means? Why didn't you send a shrewd and mature minister here, but sent a young Yuan Yunzhong who is still in the emperor's heart? Isn't it because Yuan Yunzhong understands the emperor's thoughts? Really! Maybe this is what the emperor means?"

Mr. Hong, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly turned pale as if he had thought of something.

Hong Xi looked like he hadn't seen anything, and continued: "You are afraid of delaying the second brother's studies, so you asked me to come out to take care of those Jinyiwei people. You said that I am responsible for everything at home. I agree. But you are afraid. It’s Yuan Yunzhong who disagrees.”

When he said this, he glanced at Mr. Hong with a sly look: "After all, even if I want to take the blame, I have to make Jin Yiwei believe it. I just returned to the Hong family five years ago, and after returning to the Hong family, Whether it was business or personal dealings with the Hong family, it was you who nodded and asked the steward to accompany me. All the servants in the family can testify about this matter, and they will be found out accurately. How are you going to tell those who are investigating the case? What does Jin Yiwei say?"

"Ah!" Song Tao exclaimed, realizing that she had heard a terrible secret, her eyes widened, and she hurriedly covered her mouth for fear of being noticed by the Hong family's ancestors and grandchildren.

But no one looked at her, whether it was Mrs. Hong, Hong Xi, or Hong Zhao.

"Brother! What are you talking about?" Hong Zhao looked at Mr. Hong and then at Hong Xi.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to him.

"You!" Mr. Hong stood up and pointed at Hong Xi with his hand shaking.

Hong Xi sneered, and unceremoniously pushed away the arm pointed at him by Mr. Hong, saying: "You can't just allow the state officials to set fires, and not allow me, a commoner, to light lamps - since you can instruct those in charge to make me do some things Of course I can also bribe those managers to change the name on the shipping note to Hong Zhao if I don’t know why.”

"What did you say?" Old Mrs. Hong's eyes were cracked.

Hong Xi grinned and said, "Would you like to take a look at the accounts of the past few years and see who signed them?" At this point, he also grinned at Mr. Hong, "Of course, you are now You can’t see it, but you should be able to see it when the Jin Yiwei people interrogate you.”

"You beast!" Mr. Hong slapped Hong Xi with his hand angrily.

Hong Xi refused to dodge and received a slap from him.

The crisp sound of the slap resounded loudly in the cell.

Hong Xi's face quickly became red and swollen.

"I knew bad bamboos couldn't produce good bamboo shoots. What kind of good things could a bitch like your mother raise?" Mr. Hong cursed loudly, and the swear words came out so frequently that they could not be heard.

Not to mention Song Tao, even Song Zhao was frightened.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" He hurriedly stopped Mr. Hong, "Don't be angry, be careful of being angry and damaging your health. Brother, he definitely didn't mean it. There must be some misunderstanding. Let's sit down and talk about it. Anger can't solve any problems. ." He also reminded Mr. Hong and Hong Xi, "We are all in prison now, and it's still unclear whether we can get out. But if we can't work together, we will definitely capsize."

He helped Mr. Hong calm down.

Mr. Hong gradually calmed down and said to Hong Zhao sadly: "You kid, you are too kind-hearted. At this time, why do you think this little beast is your brother? Don't worry, my grandfather will not let anything happen to you." He turned around and started scolding Hong Xi again.

Hong Xi looked at them expressionlessly.

Hong Zhao smiled bitterly, interrupted Mr. Hong's curse, and said, "Grandpa, now is not the time to talk about these things."

He helped Mr. Hong sit down on the haystack and said warmly: "Can you tell me what happened?"

Mr. Hong glanced at Hong Xi.

Hong Zhao said helplessly: "Grandpa, if you still treat me like a child and don't tell me anything, when the Jin Yiwei ask me, I won't be able to tell you anything. They will definitely think that I am stubbornly resisting, and I will inevitably have to do it." Eat some hardships..."

"Good boy!" Mr. Hong held Hong Zhao's hand tightly with moist eyes and said regretfully, "It's all your grandfather who has caused trouble for you."

As for what happened, there is still no clear explanation.

Hong Zhao was anxious.

Hong Xi sneered and said, "How can he have the nerve to tell you? He has always been a loving and kind-hearted old man in front of you."

Hong Zhao frowned: "Can you say a few words less!"

"That's right!" Hong Xi said nonchalantly, "Then I'll make a long story short. Grandfather thinks you are a seed of learning and the hope of the Hong family, but even if you are a county magistrate, your annual salary is only forty or fifty taels of silver, and you still need Master Yang and his servants, he wants your name to go down in history and honor your ancestors. He doesn't want you to be trapped by money after becoming an official. He also hopes to give you a ride in the officialdom, so he finds a way to catch up with people from Prince Ning's palace.

"But Prince Ning is so easy to please? He simply submitted a letter of nomination to Prince Ning and did Prince Ning's dirty work."

When he said this, he suddenly leaned over, stared at Hong Zhao's face, and said softly: "Yuan Yunzhong did not wrong our grandfather. He not only helped King Ning smuggle, he also helped King Ning force the refugees into slavery. You know What happened to the refugees in Hongjiashan who fled from Shandong and Hebei? They were all deceived by their grandfather into Prince Ning’s private mines and never returned."

"You're talking nonsense!" Hong Zhao shouted in disbelief.

Hong Xi looked at him disdainfully and said nothing, which only increased the credibility of what he said.

"How could this happen?" Hong Zhao was stunned.

"Master Hong! Master Hong!" Song Tao called Hong Xi in panic across the fence, "Then, that kiln..."

She thought about the shipping orders she signed, and the withdrawal of the Hong family's stewards and clerks who were originally employed in the kiln factory.

Hong Xi glanced over with a lukewarm look.

"It's a bit late to wake up at this time." He said ruthlessly, "You have to know, how can there be such a thing as a pie in the world? You should have known that this day would come when you fell into the trap."

"No, it's not!" Song Tao's eyes were red and she defended, "I didn't know what the old man had in mind."

"Otherwise? Do you think you are Song Jiyun?" He sneered, "You can not only make porcelain, but also deal with the complicated affairs outside. There won't be a woman like her in Jingdezhen in a hundred years!"

Song Tao was stunned.
