Chapter 638 The price
When Chu Zhuang returned to school from the palace, Yun Zhanfei and Yun Hong were still waiting for him in the school, obviously wanting to know what happened in the palace as soon as possible.
"Sima Jincheng replaced all the crimes, and the matter did not affect Sima Weibo."
Chu Zhuang briefly explained what happened before.
Yunhong nodded slightly. Although it was a pity that he couldn't take this opportunity to affect Sima Weibo, it was still very good.
The most important thing is that this incident happened completely by accident. If Chu Zhuang didn't find out that something was wrong, he wouldn't be able to take this opportunity to inflict serious damage on Sima's family.
"Will Sima Zhishang really be willing to give up his rights in order to save Sima Jincheng?" Yun Zhanfei frowned and asked.
"Yes, Sima Jincheng is the only male in the Sima family. Before he fell into our hands, Sima Weibo didn't hesitate to take out a hundred acres of land to redeem him with us. It can be seen that they How much importance is attached to Sima Jincheng."
Yunhong nodded affirmatively, obviously very sure about this matter.
"Then this kid won't be punished at all in the end?" Yun Zhanfei said with some dissatisfaction.
Sima Jincheng did so many evil things, but in the end he was not punished, but was redeemed by the Sima family, which made Yun Zhanfei feel very unfair.
"That depends on how much the Sima family decides to pay to save Sima Jincheng." Chu Zhuang said after thinking for a while.
If the price given made Yu Wenchang dissatisfied, then Sima Jincheng must have suffered a bit.
But Chu Zhuang didn't think so. If the Sima family decided to redeem him, they would definitely bring him out intact.
"Brother, don't be angry. Isn't this Sima Jincheng still in our hands? As long as we publish these criminal evidences, even if the emperor wants to protect him, he will definitely be punished!"
Yunmengxi knew Yun Zhanfei well, knew why he was angry, and comforted him.
Thinking about the plan they discussed, Yun Zhanfei pursed his lips and nodded. Although he was still dissatisfied, he reluctantly accepted it.
"Second brother will resume his status soon. During this time, the crown prince and the eldest prince will definitely fight very fiercely. We just wait and see what happens, and don't get involved in the fight." Chu Zhuang reminded.
"Don't worry, we know!" Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Right now is a critical moment, if they hadn't accidentally discovered about Sima Jincheng and Chu Zhangyang, they would have kept a low profile and wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
Now that the matter is resolved, it is time to continue to develop.
"We're fine, but you, Chuzhuang, will be working in the household registration department in two days..."
Yunhong looked at Chu Zhuang, his eyes were full of worry.
This household department is the domain of the Sima family. Chu Zhuang has just attacked Sima Jincheng and executed the crimes committed by the Sima family. Now he will enter the other party's domain immediately. I am afraid that the Sima family will not let him go easily!
"How about Chuzhuang, please take sick leave, let's not go for now..." Yunmengxi said uneasily, pursing her lips.
Chu Zhuang couldn't take anyone with him when he entered the household department. If something happened inside, he couldn't even rush to the rescue in time.
"Don't worry, the Sima family's main focus right now should be on rescuing Sima Jincheng. Even if they hate me, they won't do anything to me at this time." Chu Zhuang held Yunmengxi's hand, comfort him.
At present, this matter has not been resolved, and Sima Jincheng has not been released yet.
Even though Sima Weibo and the others hated Chu Zhuang so much that they wanted to tear Chu Zhuang into pieces, they did not dare to do anything to Chu Zhuang at this juncture.
For Hubu's trip, Chuzhuang is unavoidable and must be visited.
Going at this time looks like the most dangerous, but in fact it is the safest.
"But you'll have to stay in the household department for at least a month or two. When they come to their senses and come to deal with you, then you..." Yunmengxi shook his head, still unable to feel relieved.
Although the Sima family has not recovered yet, Chu Zhuang is not only staying in the household department for a day or two, he will stay there for at least a month or two.
And one or two months is enough for the people of the Sima family to come to their senses.
At that time, Chu Zhuang was brought alone in the wolf's den.
As soon as Yunmengxi thought of this scene, he couldn't stop being anxious.
Chu Zhuang smiled and said: "They can't wait until they come to their senses. You forgot that after the second brother recovers his identity, we will disclose Sima Jincheng's crimes. At that time, the entire Sima family will be in turmoil. They can't take care of themselves. Where else can you deal with me?"
As long as they announce Sima Jincheng's crimes to the world, not only Sima Jincheng, but even the entire Sima family will be spurned by thousands of people.
At that time, the centuries-old foundation of the Sima family will be shaken.
How could the members of Sima's family still take care of a small Chuzhuang?
"But……"
The worry in Yunmengxi's eyes could not be lessened, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
What if the Sima family became angry and attacked Chu Zhuang?
"And I still have a pistol on me, so even if something happens, I still have the ability to protect myself." Chu Zhuang comforted.
"I arranged for the shadow guard to follow Chu Zhuang, and nothing will happen." Yun Hong also comforted.
Huiming originally intended to stay by Chu Zhuang's side, but after the last battle with Jingheng, he had a lot of insights, and now he is in the breakthrough stage, so this meeting is in retreat.
Otherwise, Yunmengxi wouldn't be so worried if Huiming had followed Chuzhuang to secretly protect him.
"Okay..." Yunmengxi glanced at Chuzhuang, then at Yunhong, and nodded slightly.
Although I agreed, I don't know if I really feel at ease.
Chu Zhuang held Yunmengxi's hand and patted it. He also knew in his heart that what really wanted Yunmengxi to feel at ease was nothing more than Chuzhuang's safe return to his side every day.
Otherwise, he was in a dangerous situation, and it was impossible for Yunmengxi to feel at ease when he was alone at home.
Yun Zhanfei and Yunhong didn't stay for long, and after discussing with Chu Zhuang, they got up and left.
Chu Zhuang took Yunmengxi back to the room.
"Be patient for a while longer, and I will settle all these matters before we get married!" Chu Zhuang assured Yunmengxi.
Yun Mengxi put her arms around Chu Zhuang's waist, leaned on his shoulders, shook her head slightly and said, "It's okay with me, you don't have to be too distracted by me, just do what you want, I will always They are all waiting for you at home!"
His father and brother have been on the battlefield all year round, and Yunmengxi is used to worrying and waiting.
He can't help but worry about Chu Zhuang, but he won't let Chu Zhuang disrupt his plan because of this.
Chu Zhuang lowered his head and kissed Yunmengxi's hair, feeling extraordinarily at ease.
No matter how dangerous the outside world is, as long as he returns to Yunmengxi, he will have a warm and stable harbor.
……
Sima Zhishang went to the palace to see Yu Wenchang after the morning court on the second day.
Hong Da was the only one serving in the hall, and the people outside had no way of knowing what Sima Zhishang and Yu Wenchang talked about.
But the next day, Minister of the Ministry of Officials fell ill and was bedridden, so he took the initiative to resign.
Yu Wenchang approved, and at the same time sent Zheng Zhaomin to this position.
Zheng Zhaomin, like the Yun family, is a member of the firm emperor's faction. After he entered the official department, he began to reform and cleanse the personnel inside. For a while, people in the official department were panicked.
After this incident, the Sima family's status in the court declined a lot.
In the original court, unless Yu Wenchang personally ordered it, it was basically a court of the first prince's faction.
But now, there are many other voices in the DPRK.
Sima Jincheng was sent out of the prison on the day the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials resigned, but his official position could not be restored.
At the same time, Yu Wenchang also issued an oral order that Sima Jincheng would not be allowed to serve as an official in the court again.
Although Sima Jincheng regained his life, his future was ruined.
"Father……"
For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Sima Jincheng couldn't help crying when he saw Sima Weibo when he returned.
When he was dragged out of the hall, he really thought that he would be executed. During the two days in the prison, he was always in fear.
If he stayed for two more days, this feeling of fear would probably drive him crazy.
"It's good to be back."
Sima Weibo sighed, Sima Jincheng had a hard time in the prison, so how could he have a hard time!
It can be said that the Sima family's vitality has been seriously injured after this incident.
Yu Wenming even lost his temper because of this. If Sima Zhishang hadn't been in charge, people in his party would have lost their minds.
"Father, this matter was all caused by Chu Zhuang, we must not let him go!"
Sima Jincheng cried for a while, vented his emotions, and immediately thought of revenge.
He will not reflect that he killed someone, so he needs to be punished.
Instead, he would feel that Chu Zhuang had exposed him and blamed Chu Zhuang for everything.
Sima Weibo couldn't stop the anger in his heart when he thought about the scene of being forced into a mess by Chu Zhuang in the main hall that day.
That day, he wished to destroy Chuzhuang, but because he was worried about Sima Jincheng, he didn't have the heart to deal with Chuzhuang.
Now that Sima Jincheng has returned safely, of course he has to start cleaning up Chuzhuang!
"Don't worry, father will definitely avenge you for this revenge, and I will never let Chu Zhuang go!" Sima Weibo assured Sima Jincheng.
"madness!"
Sima Zhishang leaned on a cane and entered the study from the outside.
He originally wanted to come and see Sima Jincheng, but he didn't expect that the two were actually discussing how to deal with Chu Zhuang, so he couldn't help but scolded them.
"grandfather!"
"Father!"
When Sima Jincheng and Sima Weibo saw Sima Zhishang coming in, they immediately stood up and obediently stood in front of him, obeying his orders.
Sima Zhishang sat down at the desk with a cold face, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked, "Are you discussing how to deal with Chu Zhuang just now?"
