Chapter 77: Exile does not help the poor

Chapter 77: Exile does not help the poor

The original owner, Yunshan, died suddenly from staying up late and traveled through time to the body of the ancient Prince of Jin's wife.

Fortunately, her grocery store also traveled through time with her.

When she traveled through time, the Prince of Jin's mansion was convicted and its property was confiscated and exiled to Ningguta. Her newlywed husband's legs were maliciously broken. The Prince of Jin and his wife committed suicide to atone for their crimes, leaving behind seven young children.

Along the way, the original owner did her best to take care of Li Yunrui, the prince of Jin, and his seven younger brothers and sisters. She took advantage of the space to give Li Yunrui and his brothers and sisters special treatment, and kept them fat and white.

And under the careful care of the original owner, Li Yunrui's legs slowly recovered.

The original owner thought that when he arrived at the place of exile, he would live a poetic and picturesque farming life, but he did not expect that Li Yunrui had already plotted to seize the throne. Taking advantage of the emperor's critical illness, he captured Kyoto in one fell swoop and ascended the throne to become emperor.

Although the original owner became the queen, Li Yunrui's harem included not only the queen, but also his childhood sweetheart, Concubine Rou, Concubine Shu, the niece of the general who secretly supported him, and concubines sent in by other forces.

The original owner treated Li Yunrui wholeheartedly, expecting to have a lifelong love with him, but Li Yunrui finally let her down.

Once, the original owner was using the space and was caught by Li Yunrui. Li Yunrui did not listen to the original owner's explanation and burned her to death.

(The above is the original owner’s memory)

What she didn't know was that Li Yunrui had already begun to doubt her the first time she took out food that did not belong to this era. But at that time, he still needed the help of the original owner. Without the original owner, and relying only on his half-brothers and half-sisters, he had no confidence that he could reach Ningguta alive.

As soon as Zhang Shan came, she pushed Yunshan out of her body. Yunshan was stunned, and when he saw Zhang Shan looking over, he quickly hid behind the screen.

At this time, it was bright outside. Yun Shan came to her senses and realized that she had returned to the time when she first traveled through time. "Hurry up and hide some gold and silver on you. The Prince Jin's Mansion has been ransacked!"

Zhang Shan also knew that the Prince of Jin's Mansion was being ransacked, so she decided to go all out and ran to the storehouse of the Prince of Jin's Mansion. She stuffed all the ancestral and private property of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, as well as the dowry of the original owner and the Princess of Jin into the storehouse, leaving nothing behind.

Yunshan felt very happy when he saw that all the things were gone. All the money in Prince Jin's Mansion was gone, and Li Yunrui's family would not have an easy life.

The Prince of Jin and the current emperor are both the legitimate sons of the late emperor, but they are not born to the same queen, and are naturally opposed to each other. Originally, the late emperor wanted to pass the throne to his eldest son, the Prince of Jin, but it is unknown why he later gave the throne to the current emperor.

The relationship between the two brothers, who were originally hostile, became even more irreconcilable.

The current emperor has a legitimate son, who was made the crown prince at the age of three. The crown prince has a good relationship with Li Yunrui. Yesterday, Li Yunrui and the crown prince were hunting in the royal villa, and the crown prince was assassinated and died of an arrow.

Li Yunrui knew that this was the emperor's plan. In order to get rid of the Jin Wang Mansion, he was willing to sacrifice the prince.

The prince died, but he returned unharmed. The crime of assassinating the prince would be pinned on the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and the emperor would have more reason to eliminate the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

So, Li Yunrui decided to go all out and ordered his personal guards to break his legs. He knew that he didn't really want to become disabled. As long as he recuperated for a few years, he would be able to stand up again.

This self-torture trick was well done. Li Yunrui's crime was only that he failed to protect the prince, so the emperor could not kill them all.

At the same time, Prince Jin and Princess Jin both died to apologize for their crimes, so the Emperor could not do anything to Li Yunrui, and finally he could only exile him to Ningguta.

As the wife of Li Yunrui, the original owner naturally stood on Li Yunrui's side. The original owner's father, the Minister of Works, was also exiled to southern Fujian by the emperor. The climate in southern Fujian is humid and there are many insects and ants. When the original owner's family arrived in southern Fujian, most of them were killed or injured.

After much haste, Zhang Shan finally arrived at the palace and found the original owner's biological sister, the emperor's concubine Wan. With the help of Wan, Zhang Shan successfully met this cruel emperor.

"The guilty woman Zhang Shan pays homage to His Majesty. I want to sue the prince of Jin, Li Yunrui, for pretending to break his leg to reduce his guilt. Your Majesty, Li Yunrui has evil ambitions and intends to rebel!"

The emperor had a gloomy face and was obviously in a very bad mood. He had just received news that the Prince of Jin and his wife committed suicide to atone for their sins.

In this way, it would be difficult for him to punish Li Yunrui.

"You said Li Yunrui's leg is not broken?"

"Li Yunrui's leg is broken, of course, but as long as he recovers for two or three years, he will be able to pick up a gun and ride a horse."

The corners of the emperor's mouth were straightened, and Concubine Wan was worried for Zhang Shan, but for the sake of her family and herself, she had to stay calm.

Regardless of whether the emperor believes it or not, create a sense of crisis first.

Zhang Shan knew that as long as she gave the emperor a reason, Li Yunrui would not be able to escape.

"I am willing to work for the Emperor and monitor Li Yunrui's every move. I only hope that the Emperor will be lenient with my mother's family."

The emperor was also worried that Li Yunrui could make a comeback and endanger his throne. Since someone took the initiative to monitor Li Yunrui, he had no reason to disagree.

"Can!"

Then, Zhang Shan received a jade pendant from the emperor that could be used to contact the royal secret guards.

Of course, this is the lowest grade jade pendant, which can only be used to contact people and transmit messages.

After Zhang Shan left the palace, Wanpin naturally stayed in the Xuanzheng Hall to serve her.

Yunshan was stunned. He didn't expect it to be like this.

In her previous life, she had never met anyone from the original owner's family, and had no impression of them. Their life or death was none of her business, so she thought she could just keep herself safe, but she didn't expect that in the end she couldn't even keep a complete corpse.

Zhang Shan returned to Prince Jin's mansion again and found that her yard had been randomly inspected. Because Prince Jin and his wife committed suicide to apologize, the house search was suspended for half an hour.

Zhang Shan did not return to her own courtyard, but ran to the front hall and lay on Princess Jin's body crying, "Mother, what's wrong with you? Wake up, what are you going to do if your daughter-in-law dies?"

When she was alive, she was very picky about the original owner's daughter-in-law, thinking that the original owner's status was not worthy of his handsome son. After her death, Zhang Shan didn't want to let her have an easy life. Her clothes were stripped by Zhang Shan and she could vaguely see a little bit of the lining.

Although it's a bit immoral, the other person died early and she hasn't helped the original owner to get revenge yet.

After Zhang Shan filed the complaint, the emperor immediately sent his trusted imperial physician to check on Li Yunrui's injuries. Li Yunrui learned the news in advance, but he didn't know who revealed his injuries, so he could only bear the pain and make his injuries even worse.

In this way, he will not be able to stand up within five years. Even after he recovers, he will not be able to stand for a long time, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.

After Li Yunrui sent the imperial physician out, he pounded his fist on the ground with a dark face.

"Who is it?"

If he catches me, I will tear me into pieces!

At the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Jun was looking at the guards outside the door with trepidation. They had surrounded the Zhang Mansion and he was mentally prepared for the house to be ransacked and the whole family to be exterminated. He told his wife and son everything that was on his mind, but he didn't expect that after waiting for a whole night, the guards did not come in.

When the day broke, the guards left, and the punishment for Prince Jin's Mansion was also announced.

The Prince of Jin and his wife committed suicide to apologize, the Prince of Jin's mansion was ransacked, the Prince of Jin's concubine was exiled to southern Fujian, his children were exiled to Ningguta, and the Princess's maternal family, the Prince of Zhennan, was exiled to Yazhou.

After waiting for a long time, but still without waiting for the Emperor to make any decision on the Zhang family, Zhang Junzheng was already prepared to be stabbed in the back.

But the emperor still did not make any decision or punish him. After thinking about it, Zhang Junzheng became bolder and went to court.

When he arrived at the court, the emperor saw him but had no other reaction.

How is this going?

He didn't dare to ask, perhaps the emperor had already forgotten him. In that case, he had to keep a low profile.

The emperor only gave one day to deal with the funeral of Prince Jin and Princess Jin. What could Zhang Shan do?

Wrap the body in a straw mat and bury it in a pit.

After all, the Prince of Jin's mansion had been demoted to commoners, and there was no longer a mausoleum planned by the prince.

On the third day, Li Yunrui was finally carried out of the prison. "Commoner Li Yunrui, get ready. We are leaving for Ningguta. If you go too late, it will snow in Ningguta and the road will be difficult to travel!"

Li Yunrui behaved like a gentleman. He bowed to the bailiff to express his gratitude before looking at Zhang Shan.

Li Yunrui is twenty years old this year, and his eldest brother is only thirteen years old. They are young boys who have been pampered. They have never seen such a scene, let alone help Li Yunrui carry the stretcher.

"Husband, how about...you come down and walk by yourself?"

Li Yunrui's face turned even darker.

"Forget it. I still have some silver. Go buy a carriage and come over."

As he spoke, Li Yunrui took out a silver ingot from his arms. It looked like it was worth ten taels. Zhang Shan wanted to slap the silver on his face.

Ten taels of silver are enough to buy a carriage. Horses don't even cost that much. This is as excessive as giving ten dollars for living expenses and still requiring three meals a day with vegetables and meat for a balanced nutrition, as well as fruits and desserts after meals.

"I will stay with my husband. Fangfei, you take the silver and buy a carriage. Use the rest to buy some medicine for your brother. Also, buy some dry food for us to eat on the way."

Fangfei is Li Yunrui's biological sister, who is sixteen years old this year. She had just been broken off from engagement and had to go to Ningguta with her brothers and sisters.

"Can ten taels of silver buy so many things? As a sister-in-law, why do you always bully Fangfei?"

"If Fang Fei can't buy it, then I can't buy it either. Li Yunrui, how can you be a husband? You only know how to bully me. Are you a man?"

Li Yunrui also realized that what he did was wrong. He thought Zhang Shan would still pamper him as before and would give him her own private money. Although he was a little disappointed, it was not the time to break up with her.

"What can you buy with ten taels of silver?"

"I can buy you medicine to treat your brain!"

If you have a brain disease, treat it immediately!

Finally, Li Fangfei and Li Yunze went and bought a cart.

Then, they argued for a long time over who should push the cart.

Although Li Yunrui is the prince, the legitimate son, and the elder brother, his younger brothers and sisters have a natural fear of him, but they are still young, and they know that if it were not for Li Yunrui, they would still be the young masters and young ladies of the palace. They resent Li Yunrui very much.

"Sister-in-law, you are my brother's wife and our elder. How can you let us push my brother around?" Li Fangfei also disliked the original owner, and Zhang Shan was no exception.

"He doesn't consider me his wife, and you don't consider me your sister-in-law, so why should I push him?"

"If you do this, be careful or my brother will divorce you!"

This is what Li Fangfei often said to the original owner.

"Then let him rest!"

"Okay, Yunze and Yunxiao take turns pushing." Li Yunrui's face was dark, and the moment he lowered his head, Zhang Shan felt a murderous intent.

The yamen runners had all been instructed by the emperor's men, and no preferential treatment was given to them along the way, including Li Yunrui. They were all miserable. They could not even pull the cart, and in the end they could only pull a board and let Li Yunrui lie on it.

Along the way, Zhang Shan didn't contribute much, but she made Li Yunrui's brothers and sisters very angry.

At night, Li Yunrui blew a whistle when everyone was asleep, called his secret guards, and asked them for money, intending to bribe the yamen runners, and at the same time planned to kill Zhang Shan secretly.

Since you are of no use to him, you can just die.

After the secret guard left, Zhang Shan sat up and happened to be opposite Li Yunrui. Li Yunrui was startled, and when he saw the jade pendant in her hand, his heart sank even more.

"You, you, you..., you actually betrayed me! Do you think that if you betrayed me, he would let you go?"

"I never enjoyed a single day of happiness following you before, and now I have to suffer with you. If you had been nicer to me before, I wouldn't have betrayed you just because of a small favor!"

The emperor's secret guards tracked Li Yunrui's secret guards, arrived at his base camp, determined the location, and reported it to the emperor, who immediately ordered them to be strangled.

The hidden power of Prince Jin's Mansion was also uprooted. Zhang Shan was kind enough to tell Li Yunrui the news, and successfully saw the scene of him vomiting blood.

The trap he secretly set up accidentally killed his own sister. There were not many people around, so the yamen runners did not mind the trouble and cut off Li Fangfei's head and took her to Ningguta.

Li Yunrui didn't speak along the way.

He never expected that he would lose in this place.

Along the way, Li Yunrui's brothers and sisters were taken care of by the emperor, and they died one after another. It was not easy at all.

Finally, Li Yunrui used the money given by the secret guard to bribe the yamen runner to take him away, and they soon arrived at Ningguta.

At this time, it had started snowing in Ningguta and the temperature had dropped to more than ten degrees below zero.

The bailiff handed the two men over to the local bailiffs and left.

It took them four months to reach Ningguta. Two months later, Zhang Shan received news from her sister Zhang Wan that she was four months pregnant.

This is good news for Zhang Shan.

It was icy and snowy in Ningguta, and there was nothing to do. Zhang Shan stayed in a small dark room, calculating when Zhang Wan's child would be born.

When I was bored, I would watch Yunshan humiliating Li Yunrui from a distance and I found it quite interesting.

Five months later, the snow had melted. As the emperor's spy, Zhang Shan, who was used to using chicken feathers as a token of authority, got herself a job to look after Li Yunrui.

Li Yunrui tried to strangle Zhang Shan to death several times while she was sleeping, but Zhang Shan found out every time and beat him up, making him question his life.

Li Yunrui was abused by Zhang Shan for three years until the emperor was critically ill, at which time Zhang Shan brought him to Kyoto.

Taking advantage of the emperor's illness, Zhang Shan dressed in black, entered the palace and assassinated the emperor, stabbing him to death with a sword. When he was chased out, he threw Li Yunrui out.

Li Yunrui: …

Li Yunrui was stabbed into briquettes by the guards without any reason and died with his eyes open.

Zhang Shan killed all the guards who chased after him, took the credit, and was appointed as the commander of the imperial guards by the future Empress Dowager Zhang Wan.

The previous commander was killed during the chaos, and now Zhang Shan has taken over very smoothly. She disguises herself as a man, commands the imperial guards, and can also dispatch the royal secret guards.

The emperor had only two sons. The crown prince was killed by him, leaving only a three-year-old baby. Zhang Shan quickly took control of the court and used the emperor to control the world.

After the little prince turned eighteen, he had no greed for power and let go when he was told to.

The young emperor was very grateful for this. As soon as he was happy, he gathered a group of handsome men and sent them to the Regent's Palace. After all, the Regent was famous for his love of both men and women.

Zhang Shan accepted it with a smile without any explanation.
