That night, Wei Yang had a nightmare. In her dream, there was a fire and her father was standing in the fire, shouting to her, "Nannan, go, go."
The night in the General's Mansion is empty and quiet.
The next day.
Yan Gui was washing up in the yard in a moon-white undershirt and a green outer coat. He had just come from the martial arts training hall, and beads of sweat were still on his forehead.
"General, Konggu just came over and said that the girl had a nightmare again last night." Ding Wu came closer and whispered.
Yan Gui was stunned. It was probably because her father mentioned Duke Su to her yesterday. This girl was a little worried and must be missing home again.
"Got it. Tell Youlan to make some soothing soup for the girl tonight."
Ding Wu answered yes and was about to leave when a figure flashed through the gate and Ding Er walked in.
"General." Ding Er walked in hurriedly: "This is a secret letter from the capital, and there are four boxes of gifts, they said they are pocket money for the girl."
Give the girl pocket money? Yan Gui looked at Ding Er. Did Wei Yang still need pocket money from him? This queen, even living in the cold palace couldn't change her temper.
Yan Gui took out the letter, read it quickly, and anger gradually grew on his face.
"Zhou family, you will die if you don't do this. How dare you..."
With a "crack", the wooden stand on which the basin was placed in the yard broke into pieces, and the basin fell to the ground with a "thump". Ding Er and Ding Wu were shocked, and they looked at each other and quickly lowered their heads.
The letter in Yan Gui's hand was the one that Zhou Yun'er had inserted into the letter sent to the capital, saying that Wei Yang was a remnant of the Su family. Zhou Yun'er's handwriting was definitely different from her elder brother Zhou Chong's, but it did not hinder the value of this letter in the hands of the current emperor.
If the letter had not been intercepted by the Empress, but had reached the hands of the current emperor, regardless of whether he believed it or not, the Yan family and Wei Yang would be in danger this time.
The emperor was so suspicious that he even killed the entire Su family. How could he let Wei Yang go? I'm afraid that the first thing he would do after receiving this letter is to use Wei Yang to control the Yan family. He doesn't care whether Wei Yang is a girl from the Su family or not. She will die whether she is not.
"Ding Er." Yan Gui laughed in anger. He had always given Zhou family a chance because of their contribution to the recovery of Yancheng. Unexpectedly, some people just wanted to push their luck.
"General." Ding Er knew something was wrong when he saw Yan Gui's expression, and hurried over.
"You have collected a lot of things from the Zhou family in the past few years. Sort them out and send them to the capital by express horse." Yan Gui ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." Ding Er was about to leave when he heard Yan Gui continue, "Wait, kill the men first and report later, and send the women and children to the northwest of Yanzhou."
"Yes, I will obey your command." Ding Er immediately restrained his expression and left.
Yan Gui looked at another letter in his hand, which was written by the deposed Queen Su Junyao to Wei Yang. He stared at the red lacquer seal for a long time, then handed it to Ding Wu: "Send this letter and the gift to the young lady's courtyard, and tell her that I have some things to do here, and I will come back after I finish the things at hand."
"Yes." Ding Wu held the letter and walked out carefully.
The general is going to clean up the Zhou family. This spring, Yanzhou will be bloody again. However, there are a few people who really go too far. In recent years, with the Yan family, Yanzhou has indeed had fewer military chaos and banditry, and they have been living a comfortable life.
Others suggested killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, but the general didn't do that. He directly killed the monkeys to warn the chickens.
