The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

I certainly cannot tell you about the case first, but you are a marquis and I am just a minor official, so reminding you to check your own accounts can be considered as me giving you a hint.

The Marquis was startled. Was it related to the Marquis's account? Was it related to Zhu Xinlan?

The Marquis did not ask any more questions. He knew Lord Shen's temper and it was useless to ask.

After a while, Butler Zhou came out with the few people that Lord Shen wanted. However, in addition to the men, two women also came out crying.

Because the ones who are going to be taken away are their men.

But when they saw the Marquis was there, the two women dared not cry anymore, but their sadness was still visible.

Because after this departure, I may never see you again.

The person was taken away by Lord Shen, who did not keep him for long and directly led him out of the Marquis' Mansion.

The Marquis's face was naturally not good. He also heard from Chief Steward Zhou that the old Marquis's wife had gone to trouble Wutong Courtyard again.

"What did Madam say?"

"My Lord, after you went to court, my Lady took the Young Lady to Kangning Street to visit the Young Lady's mother. She has not returned yet. But the Crown Prince is in the mansion."

It seems that Butler Zhou seems to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say what you want to say!"

Butler Zhou paused and said:

"When the old marquis' wife was scolding the prince, Eunuch Wang happened to come to give the prince a reward and some official documents. They ran into each other."

The Marquis paused for a moment after hearing this, and his face looked a little bad.

During the morning court today, the emperor would usually ask for his opinion on some matters, but he didn't know if he was being too suspicious today and the emperor was deliberately avoiding him.

Instead, he deliberately said some things in front of all the ministers in the court:

"Leave this matter alone. I will first listen to the opinion of Prince Nangong."

This was an intentional attempt to elevate his son among the ministers, but the Marquis was not very happy.

Thinking about what his son had said to him, whether he, the marquis, could still enjoy the glory of being a chef depends on his son's opinion.

He no longer wanted to be the crown prince, so Marquis Changyong was finished.

After Lord Changyong left the court, he went to see two old friends. Even in front of his old friends, he didn't dare to tell them about this matter. He just relaxed there.

But when I came back I met Lord Shen, and no matter how I tried to adjust my mood, I was no longer in a good mood.

Butler Zhou said again:

"As for the Second Young Master, I heard that although Doctor Yang came to treat him, he still believed that the palm had to be amputated in order to save the Second Young Master's arm and life. According to Doctor Yang, the sooner the better."

"But Doctor Yang was unwilling to do it, saying that he didn't have enough strength to break the bone and was afraid of causing harm a second time. So, Doctor Lu and the others are still guarding over there."

"The concubine's injury has not healed yet. She has been lying in bed for a day. The old lady can't make a decision. She originally wanted to find Doctor Yang, but she couldn't find him. Then she ran into the prince..."

Butler Zhou said so, but the Marquis knew that his mother went to Wutong Courtyard not to find Old Doctor Yang, but to cause more trouble.

When the Marquis heard that the Marquis's wife and that brainless daughter-in-law were not at home, he thought that there were some things he should discuss with the Prince.

Nangong Xuan grew up under his care. To be honest, no matter from which aspect, he is not as good as Nangong Yu. The Marquis has to admit this.

But Nangong Xuan was sweet-talking and made him happy.

But now it concerns the survival of the Marquis's Mansion, so I still have to discuss it with the Prince.

So, Nangong Su thought about it and decided to go directly to Chaohuiyuan to find Nangong Yu.

Shuqi was playing at the gate of the yard. He saw the Marquis coming towards them from a distance, so he hurried in and told Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu was looking at the two letters brought by the emperor. The things discussed in them were also very important.

Hearing that the Marquis had arrived, he put some things away. After a guard greeted the Marquis, Nangong Su went straight into the study.

Nangong Yu just nodded and called him Lord Marquis. This made Lord Marquis's face turn cold, and he said angrily:

"You don't even call me dad anymore?"

Nangong Yu didn't say anything, but just put down the things in his hand. After Huaqi brought in the tea, Nangong Su sat down opposite Nangong Yu.

Originally, he should be the one sitting inside, but Nangong Yu is not feeling well now, so there is no way he can give way.

Looking at the tea at hand, Nangong Yu picked it up and took a sip:

"Father, what is it that brings you to my study? Or are you here to see Dr. Yang as well?"

The Marquis glared at him, looked around and whispered:

"Can I say it?"

Seeing his mysterious look, Nangong Yu thought he was going to say something serious. So he shouted:

"Jiuyou, tell everyone to move back."

Jiuyou was one of his secret guards. He asked the people outside, such as Shuqi and Huaqi, to leave, so that the conversations in the study could hardly be heard outside.

Even so, the Marquis said in a low voice:

"Yu'er, have you heard of the Chopping Hand?"

I have never heard of this Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu shook his head. What is this?

The Marquis dipped his finger in some tea and wrote three words on the table: Cut off your hand.

Just by hearing it, he didn't realize it, but after seeing these three words, Nangong Yu roughly knew what kind of vicious organization this was.

The Marquis looked at Nangong Yu and said:

"It's normal that you don't know. When Dad was born, these people were at the peak of their popularity. They were a group of people under the command of the then-forefather emperor. They were specifically responsible for investigating... officials."

Nangong Yu understood that the emperor also had a group of people under his command, but they were not called this name. He knew them, but not many.

When the Marquis saw Nangong Yu looking at him seriously, he continued in a low voice:

"Your brother, Xuan'er's hand was injured by the Chopping Hand."

When he heard him say your brother, Nangong Yu's eyes flickered. He didn't want to acknowledge such a brother.

But when he heard that his hand was injured by such a person, Nangong Yu's mind started to work rapidly.

Nangong Xuan had a fight with Prince Ning and was injured by Prince Ning's men. So, is the man who cut off the hand that my father mentioned the Prince Ning's men?

Nangong Yu thought he knew who the Ning Jun Wang was, because the entire family of the Three Princes' Mansion were all idle members of the royal family.

The Third Prince and his family can live so comfortably in Shangjing City because the late Emperor and the current Emperor both dote on them.

What they usually show is that they don't fight, compete or quarrel.

The Marquis continued:

“Although the Chopping Hands were a team established by the First Emperor, these people only appeared two or three years later, and even the First Emperor never mentioned them again.”

"They just helped the old emperor to gain a foothold, and then they never appeared again. And the late emperor had never used or heard of this team of people for so many years. Now the old emperor has died, and the late emperor has also passed away. Now that this slasher has appeared, will it be targeting our family?"
