On New Year's Eve, Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling finally came out of the Tianzhu of the Ministry of Justice and returned home in bad luck.

When he entered the mansion, the entire Jianchang Marquis' Mansion became lively. The servants prepared many activities to exorcise the evil spirits for Zhang Yanling, and even monks and Taoists invited them to do rituals.

As it was getting dark, Zhang Yanling came out in the shower and changed clothes. He was about to enter the room to visit the women he hadn't seen for a long time. Zhang Heling came over after hearing the news.

Zhang Yanling was naturally a little unhappy. After all, he was clean and greedy for the past few days of his cell. Even if he didn't treat him badly in food and living, he could not get in touch with women, which was very uncomfortable for lustful people like him.

"...Isn't my elder brother being confined? If I come over rashly, it won't have any impact on my elder brother, right?" Zhang Yanling also received some news in the cell. After all, his brother had never seen him during his jail time, and he also knew that the Zhang family was implicated in this matter, which had a huge impact.

Zhang Heling said coldly: "You know it has an impact? Our Zhang family has completely fallen into your hands. Not only has it become a laughing stock in the court and the country, but it has also lost its power to lead the military. It depends on what you are doing!"

Zhang Yanling was a little embarrassed, "Brother knew to scold me, but as far as I know, he also occupied a lot of civilian land. This is the real reason for being confined by His Majesty."

"You still dare to argue with me? If you hadn't caused public outrage in the court and the public, what I did would be called a matter?" Zhang Heling was very angry and raised his hand and wanted to slap his younger brother, but in the end he did not slap him.

The two brothers sat down and Zhang Heling said, "Today is New Year's Eve. If you can come out, you should experience the great kindness of Your Majesty and be extremely polite in the future. Otherwise, even your title will be lost."

"What's the use of leaving a title now?"

Zhang Yanling seemed very angry, "The military post is gone, what is the need for us to exist in the court? Why not ask your Majesty for a fiefdom and let us be the land king by ourselves!"

"Bastard!"

Zhang Heling shouted, "You haven't woken up yet after leaving the prison? You are just a marquis, who will give you a fief? The land was confiscated before, and our Zhang family even suffered the ancestral property and was confiscated by the court. Are you not giving up?"

Zhang Yanling said: "Don't you have a sister?"

Zhang Heling sighed, "It seems that you have not learned a lesson... The Empress Dowager repeatedly pleaded for my Zhang family, but His Majesty has refused to see the Empress Dowager. If this incident caused a rift between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, you and I will be the sinners... It is rare that Your Majesty will no longer pursue the prosecution, and all the responsibilities are on the scapegoats below. You are content! You have to chop your head and you will know how much you weigh?"

Zhang Yanling didn't say anything, but he was still dissatisfied and thought to himself: "I can't bear this anger for nothing."

Zhang Heling said: "The women you have returned from the people's abducted before have made decisions for your brother. They have been released. The court will not pursue the matter again. You should live a good life."

Zhang Yanling immediately jumped up and glared at Zhang Heling, "Brother, what do you mean? Those women... have been with me for many years, and you... sent them away?"

Zhang Heling replied with a straight face: "Your forcing the robbery of the people in the world is known to everyone, but you still don't know how to restrain yourself? Your Majesty has done your best to you. You should have been sentenced to death for your crimes... Fortunately, nothing happened to Shen Zhihou, otherwise it would be light to chop your head."

"Then you can't touch my woman!" Zhang Yanling sat down in anger, his mouth raised high.

Zhang Heling said: "Doing these things for your brother is all for your own good. You should know what you want. Our Zhang family can no longer withstand any twists and turns. As long as you are calm and obey yourself, Your Majesty will still entrust important tasks to my Zhang family again."

Zhang Yanling's eyes were red, and she sat there with a gloomy face, her teeth clenched.

Zhang Heling saw that his younger brother had a great opinion, so he shook his head helplessly and stood up: "It's not too early, so I'm going back for my brother."

"Brother, go slowly."

Zhang Yanling suddenly said, "From the big brother's opinion, we can't even live our own life in the future. Just to cater to the preferences of His Majesty, Shen Zhihou and others, just like a pug, making them feel that our Zhang family is no longer threatening them. When one day His Majesty is in a good mood, he will have the opportunity to regain military power?"

"Second brother, you're too extreme!" Zhang Heling said.

Zhang Yanling sneered, "Extremely? Every word is a big truth, nothing is true! During the holidays, when did your mansion and my mansion have a lot of guests? The gift-giving people can go a few miles away! This year, is there anyone in your mansion giving gifts?"

Zhang Heling said: "You should have known the worldly love and coldness for a long time. Since Your Majesty has punished you and my brothers, who will come to give gifts?"

"Isn't that all?"

Zhang Yanling continued, "Everyone knows who is in power. I think Shen Zhihou, Xie Yuqiao and others' mansions must be the same as our mansions have always been there. Will their elder brother be willing?"

"I think Liu Jin is just a eunuch. After he takes power, he dare not treat you and my brothers. But Shen Zhihou attacked you and my brothers step by step and framed you and my brothers as soon as he came up. Now he has succeeded. The next step is to kill them all... So the elder brother still believes in him and the court so much, and expects them to show mercy?"

This time, Zhang Heling stopped talking. Although he also agreed with some of Zhang Yanling's statements, he would not be as extreme as his younger brother.

Zhang Yanling thought his brother was moved by himself, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's time for our brothers to do something. We should get the things we lost by ourselves, otherwise others would think that our Zhang family is easy to bully!"

Zhang Heling glared at his younger brother: "Are you stupid in jail? What do you want to do? Don't you want to assassinate Shen Zhihou again? Or are you going to do something even more ruthless? Since the matter is over, you should be content with yourself. No one will continue to pursue it. But if you continue to be obsessed with it, our Zhang family will probably be destroyed in your hands!"

"Your brother gives you a death order. When you come back, you will reflect on me. You will not leave the mansion and send someone to watch you. If you do anything wrong with the will of heaven, you will never agree!"

Although Zhang Heling wanted to say some threatening words, he unconsciously softened his attitude before speaking. After all, he was his own younger brother in front of him. Although he did something wrong, he was punished. As long as his younger brother stopped making trouble, he could accept it.

At this moment, Zhang Heling no longer wanted to listen to his younger brother's fallacies and stood up and left. Even if Zhang Yanling tried to keep him, it would be useless.

"Brother, you really have no backbone! I am ashamed of you!" Zhang Yanling shouted at Zhang Heling's back.

...

...

After Zhang Heling left, Zhang Yanling became more and more angry as she thought about it. She sat there and called a foreman of the residence in the mansion.

"Second Marquis, are you in trouble?"

The foreman of the nursing home was named Zhang Ruo, who was born to the Zhang family. He was only in his early twenties and was a little scared when he saw Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling asked: "What exactly happened in the mansion when I am not at home?"

Zhang Ruo evasively said: "The villain...is not very clear."

"You have been staying in the Marquis' Mansion, but you dare not explain it clearly to me? Say it quickly! Otherwise, I will immediately order someone to beat you to death!"

Zhang Ruo quickly knelt down and said, "Second Marquis, during the days when you left home, the eldest Marquis came to disperse all the female relatives in the mansion, and searched out the gold, silver and jewelry you had hidden before and handed it to the court..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yanling wanted to vomit blood and looked at him with anger: "Why didn't you say these things when I came back?"

"The villain...the villain dare not say..."

Zhang Ruo reported tremblingly, "The Grand Marshal told me not to tell the Second Marshal about some things, and I can't even mention them. The Second Marshal... It's really not a villain who wants to deceive you. It's really the Grand Marshal's order, and the villain can only do it."

At this moment, Zhang Ruo can only turn the blame on Zhang Heling.

Zhang Yanling said angrily: "You guys who are stingy in the outside world are all miserable, but they are doing things that steal... Where is Zhang Ju?"

Zhang Ruo replied: "Zhang was arrested by Jinyiwei. It has not been released yet, and there is no news at all. Some people rumored that he had been cut off his head for assassinating Lord Shen and setting fire to the Ministry of Justice. The second marquis was not in the mansion, so no one dared to go to the yamen of the tutoring office to inquire."

Zhang Yanling frowned and said angrily after a while: "I'm only two months away from home, why are so many things happening in the mansion?"

Zhang Ruo did not dare to respond, and knelt there with his head hanging down, for fear of being punished by Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling continued to ask: "How many are left in our house now?"

Zhang Ruo replied: "Some of the dozens of houses in the city in the mansion were seized by the court, and some were seized by the master, and some were presented to the court by the master, saying that they were atonement... The fields outside the city were basically seized by the court. Not only were they bought and occupied later, but some of the previous ancestral property were also gone... Second Marquis, please don't get angry. The master did this to rescue you as soon as possible. Aren't you safe? "

"My brother is crazy about losing his heart? It's simply unreasonable!"

Zhang Yanling cursed, "I used my brother's family to please the court, but I still thought I was helping me? Even my brother's wife and children were sent away. This is obviously a life-threatening death!"

Zhang Ruo swallowed and didn't dare to say more.

Zhang Yanling sat there, panting, looking irreconcilable with his brother. After a while, he said: "What are the money that I have hidden in the private houses in the city before?"

"Second Marquis, don't ask again. Any good things in our mansion will be searched by the Great Marquis, and basically those who can be handed over to the court will be handed over to the court."

Zhang Ruo said with a bitter face, "To sum up... there are at least 502,000 taels of silver. This is not counting land and real estate. Adding those, it is estimated that one million taels of silver..."

Zhang Yanling didn't start scolding this time, and felt a huge crisis in his heart. He stared at Zhang Ruo and asked, "What's left in the family now?"

Zhang Ruo was honest and looked up at the surroundings, as if he was saying, "Isn't this the house and the people in the house left?"

Zhang Yanling's face changed drastically, and he collapsed there. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. When he recovered from his mind, his face was filled with a fierce and vicious aura.

"I worked hard to support so many people in the mansion, and finally gave Zhang's family a little savings. Unexpectedly, in the end... it is the most difficult thing for brother to defend day and night!"

Zhang Yanling's eyes were covered with blood and his expression was roaring with a ferocious look, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have told my brother about some things. He would have given up my property for his own benefit."

Zhang Ruo said with a bitter face: "The Grand Marshal did these things for the Second Marshal, you... As long as the person is fine, you can get everything else back slowly!"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Yanling cursed, "Has he told you before that if I come back, I will keep you from watching and not letting me do something that he doesn't want to see?"

Zhang Ruo thought for a while, then said "um" and focused on it.

Zhang Yanling said: "He was so heartbroken. Our Zhang family is a relative of the royal family, and the emperor's uncle. Now the empress dowager has not had any accidents yet. The royal family and ministers will target my Zhang family... If the empress dowager is gone in the future, wouldn't we both beheaded?"

Zhang Ruo said: "The Grand Marshal means to make the people in our mansion calm down. Even if you ask the Second Marshal to do something to bully good in the future, you must try your best to dissuade them. The thugs raised by the Second Marshal were basically dismissed by the Grand Marshal. The people who stayed in the mansion were basically old people from the Taigong family at that time."

"What?"

Zhang Yanling changed color and stood up and asked, "Doesn't I want to take revenge, but no one is a killer?"

Zhang Ruo said with a sad face: "Second Marquis, don't always think about revenge. There is nothing left in the mansion... From now on, I can buy a few acres of land every year. The Empress Dowager will also receive rewards. I will not treat our Zhang family badly..."

Zhang Yanling was confused and sat there dejectedly, with a murderous aura in his eyes.

He found that no matter what he said, Zhang Ruo was trying to persuade him, thinking: "This kid doesn't have much backbone and must have been bribed by his elder brother. In the future, he will tell his elder brother if I want to do something... No, no, even if I want to do, he can't let him know anything. He must find some people from the outside who can help."

"You can go down."

Zhang Yanling said, "Go and call Boss Song!"

"Hey."

Zhang Ruo wanted to leave early. He was frightened by the murderous aura shown by Zhang Yanling, and hurriedly stood up and retreated. Soon, a servant in his forties walked in.

Zhang Yanling looked at the visitor and asked, "Boss Song, just say what I have done to you in the past few years, right?"

Boss Song looked at Zhang Yanling with inexplicable eyes: "The villain doesn't know what you mean by Marquis."

Zhang Yanling said: "Have you treated you badly?"

"No."

Song Lao Dadao, "The Marquis is as kind as a mountain to the villain. Not only does he bring the villain's family to the capital, but he also finds a famous doctor to treat the villain's mother. The villain is grateful to you. If the Marquis has any instructions, the villain will definitely do his best."

“Just give your all?”

Zhang Yanling was a little dissatisfied with Boss Song’s remarks.

Mr. Song said: "I will never refuse to die."

"Okay! I want this sentence for you."

Zhang Yanling looked fierce and said, "I want you to find a group of old faces to come back now. You can't be involved with the capital. The farther the better. If I want them to do something, I must act ruthlessly and be able to get on the table!"

Boss Song asked tentatively: "Is the Marquis going to kill someone?"

Zhang Yanling said angrily: "What do you care about so many things? I just ask you, can you find someone?"

"able!"
