Chapter 58 She is your sister!
"According to the investigation, Xiao Fengxian is fourteen years old this year." Gao Hong looked at Zhou Anlian and said, "She was sold to Zuihualou by her father four years ago when she was ten years old. Zuihualou trained her for three years and was launched to sell her art this year. In early July this year, she was chosen as the courtesan of the Beijing. She is the most popular young apprentice in the entire capital! Many families are willing to spend a lot of money to make her smile..."
"Old Gao, are you still going around with our family? Is it okay to talk about the key points? We don't have much time, so don't miss the time." Zhou An said, feeling that what Gao Hong said now is nonsense.
"The point is that Xiao Fengxian is born very beautifully. Now she is at her age and has become a beautiful face that is full of the whole country..."
"Say the point!"
"You have a beautiful child, just like a wrong birth."
"Lao Gao, have you taken the wrong medicine?" Zhou An was a little crazy. What is the comparison between Gao Hong? Is there any meaning to compare?
Gao Hong was silent for a moment and stared at Zhou An.
Zhou An gradually frowned, Gao Hong's serious face was definitely not gossiping or joking.
"It has something to do with me?" Zhou An asked guessed.
"Yes!" Gao Hong nodded.
"What's the relationship?" Zhou An spread his hands. He didn't expect anything to have to do with him.
"This little Fengxian..." Gao Hong paused for a moment before continuing, "Her father's name is Zhou Sanlu. She is the youngest of Zhou Sanlu's five children, the youngest. Her current stage name is Xiao Fengxian, and she was originally named Zhou Ying!"
Quiet.
Zhou An looked at Gao Hong in a daze, and after a while, his eyes turned.
Zhou San Lu?!
Zhou Ying?!!
Some memories of "former" quickly emerged in Zhou An's mind. From blur to clear, this is not the memory of Zhou An, a time traveler, but all of his current body, the memory of the original owner, his father's name is Zhou Sanlu, who lost him to the casino when he was nine years old. He also has a sister named Zhou Ying, who was only seven years old at the time!
Now, seven years have passed.
The name is right!
The age is also right!
"My sister?" Zhou An asked with his eyes wide open. Since he traveled through time, he rarely called himself "me" because he was an eunuch.
"Yes, your sister!" Gao Hong nodded.
Zhou An's face changed. Gao Hong could not see what Zhou An was thinking. He was not as impatient as he thought, nor did he show no concern.
In fact, Zhou An is struggling!
Why did this cheap sister suddenly appear?
Zhou An had never thought about this before. Since Xiao Anzi entered the palace, he had never had any contact with his family, because he was lost by his father, and he converted the money in the casino and signed a contract for sales with others. After that, he was transferred several times and finally entered the palace... In this case, he was no longer considered Zhou Sanlu's son in terms of reason and law, and had nothing to do with the original family.
Zhou An came over and attached himself to Xiao Anzi's body. He inherited Xiao Anzi's memory and knew Xiao Anzi's thoughts.
He knew that Xiao Anzi still had a thought for his family. He resented his father, but he had always had a great relationship with his brothers and sisters. Children from poor families all grew up suffering together, unlike children from big families. They did not compete for favor or intrigue. They only lived with their hands and struggled!
And because Xiao Anzi's brothers and sisters basically had an accident, before he was lost, the only one younger sister was left in the family.
Therefore, most of his thoughts about family fell on Zhou Ying, who was loved and cared for by several older brothers and sisters since he was born.
I have thoughts but don’t contact my family because Xiao Anzi is afraid!
Because he entered the palace and became a eunuch, he did not dare to contact his family. He was afraid of his father who often beat him up and scolded him by drinking and gambling. He had imagined the consequences of contacting his family. If Zhou Sanlu knew about it, he would not be embarrassed, with Zhou Sanlu's temper, he would probably have to peel him off!
Xiao Anzi's fear of his father is integrated into his bones because there are too many painful memories.
"Your father has passed away. On a snowy night two years ago, he was drunk and frozen to death on the street." Gao Hong suddenly said, "The only relative you can find out now is your sister Zhou Ying. Although she was sold to a brothel, she did not suffer. If there were no such incident a few days ago, she would probably enter the Prince Jing's Mansion in the future and be a child for the Prince Jing's Mansion..."
"Prince Jing's Mansion?" Zhou An looked up at Gao Hong. He ignored the fact that his father was dead. He didn't care at all about the life or death of the man.
"Well, the prince of Prince Jing's Mansion often goes to Zuihualou. He is very close to your sister. If they become successful in the future, it will be a good story, but... Your sister is in Wuwen's Mansion now, and Li Hubiao is the Zuihualou that mobilized the imperial guards in the West City to go to Zuihualou. He took her away. This should be an order from Wu Xukuan himself. Wu Xukuan obviously has noticed you and investigated you, so he is here for you!"
"Well..." Zhou An pondered, his face calmed down.
Gao Hong still couldn't see what Zhou An was thinking and couldn't figure it out.
"Let's go." Zhou An suddenly waved his hand, "Go to the Heavenly Prison first, don't miss the time."
"Okay, go." Gao Hongdao waved his hand to the back.
The two walked in front, and the soldiers of the Shence Army who were hiding away from behind immediately followed.
Although Zhou An's face was calm, he didn't say a word, and he seemed to be worried.
Gao Hong obviously could not imagine Zhou An's inner conflict.
"Wuwen Hou Mansion, is there any news coming out?" Zhou An suddenly asked.
"Not found." Gao Hong glanced at Zhou An.
"Well..." Zhou An pondered again.
It took a long time.
"Wu Xukuan, are you lustful?" Zhou An asked again.
"Not lustful." Gao Hongdao.
It is precisely because Wu Xukuan is not lustful that Gao Hong sent someone to check Xiao Fengxian's background after he knew that Li Hubiao took Xiao Fengxian away and sent him to Wu Xukuan's mansion! If Wu Xukuan was lustful, then this would be normal. Gao Hong would not be suspicious, and he would not check Xiao Fengxian's background!
Wu Xukuan is not only not lustful, he is also extremely infatuated with his deceased wife.
His original wife has been dead for more than ten years, and Wu Xukuan is not short of children, so he has never reunited. Wu Xukuan is a person with no flaws in ethics and morality. If Wu Xukuan had no intention of rebellion, he could even be famous throughout the ages and become a loyal and capable minister praised for generations!
It’s a pity that Wu Xukuan doesn’t love beauty and loves the country. He is obsessed with the pursuit of power and wants to be the emperor!
"That night, Xiao Fengxian was carried to the Marquis Wu Wen's mansion by a sedan chair. It seemed that she was not being coerced, but being treated with courtesy." Gao Hong said again, as if she wanted to make Zhou An relieved.
"We understand!" Zhou An replied.
What Wu Xukuan means is already clearer!
Zhou An's strong rise in the inner court quickly became the confidant of the empress and Kang Longji, which attracted Wu Xukuan's attention, especially after the "assassination" was handed over to Zhou An, not only Wu Xukuan, but many civil and military officials in the court knew about Zhou An. They knew that the empress had already raised suspicions about the inner court. In addition to purge suspicion, they were also cultivating new confidant eunuchs.
Zhou An is the key target of cultivation.
In this case, it is normal for Wu Xukuan to take action against Zhou An.
Zhou Ying can be regarded as a hostage.
But it's not available now.
Whether this hostage can be used is not Wu Xukuan, but Zhou An! If Zhou An is in the inner court, he has little power, but he is not important. Wu Xukuan is afraid that he will not do anything to Zhou An in the future, so Zhou Ying will be useless, but if Zhou An continues to be promoted and can reach the position of several powerful supervisors of the inner court, then the hostage Zhou Ying can be used!
Zhou An knew very well that the higher he climbed, the safer Zhou Ying would be. On the contrary, if he stood still, Zhou Ying would become a useless hostage and would be thrown away as garbage. He would probably not be able to leave Wu Wenhou’s mansion alive.
"She is innocent, right..." Zhou An seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to say to Gao Hong.
"Of course it's innocent." Gao Hong continued.
"It's all because of me, I can't harm innocent people."
Gao Hong looked at Zhou An strangely, because Zhou An said something strange and could not harm innocent people? She is more than innocent, she is your real sister!
Zhou An’s words meant that no matter whether she is my sister or not, she is innocent and I can’t harm her.
Gao Hong obviously couldn't understand Zhou An's inner thoughts.
*******
In the morning, the central axis of Qianjing City, Desheng Street!
The majestic Shen Ce army pioneered the way and escorted the prison van. The murderous aura was extremely strong, but the streets were full of people. This scene was so empty that there were thousands of people. The assassins who sneaked into the Dongqian Palace and assassinated were never asked in public. They were all executed secretly. This was the first time in history!
It’s impossible not to watch this kind of excitement!
There are many people on the streets, as if half of the people in Qianjing City have arrived!
In the prison car, Cao Jing was silly, grinning and looking confused.
"beat!"
"Beat him!"
"How dare you assassinate the princess!"
Many ordinary people watching on the street were throwing vegetables, rotting eggs, and smashing Caojing. The Wu royal family was still very popular with the people. Although there have been constant natural disasters and man-made disasters over the years, the land of Zhongzhou, which has always been rich, has not been greatly affected, especially in Qianjing City, which can be called a prosperous era.
The people of Qianjing City have not been burdened by natural disasters and man-made disasters, so as many years ago, they still respect and support the imperial power.
Zhou An rode a tall horse, followed by the prison cart under the escort of a group of soldiers.
On the other side of the prison car is Gao Hong.
"Ah! Ah..." Cao Jing in the prison car suddenly shouted, as if he was angry with the rotten egg. He was so stupid that he could not speak, he could only scream.
Bang!
Zhou An suddenly raised his whip and pulled it into the prison cart. The prison clothes he slapped shattered, beating Cao Jing with a thunderous howling.
"Be honest! Shut up for our family!" Zhou An shouted sharply, then stared at him and turned to glance.
He is looking for someone!
Chapter completed!
