Chapter 1082: Is there a beauty under the human skin mask?

Zhou's servant Rong Chuan checked carefully and confirmed that he was not wearing a human skin mask before returning to the main courtyard.

Zhulan took the potion, opened it, but couldn't see anything. The green potion looked like a dye. She sighed and then put it away carefully.

Xue Han thought of the Marquis' Mansion, "Let's go back and ask Dad to try the potion as well."

Rong Chuan thought it was unnecessary. His father had done this before, so he must have experience. However, to be cautious, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll tell Dad when I get home."

Zhou Shuren was annoyed by his abandoned daughter and son-in-law, "It's getting late, you should go back too."

Xue Han blinked her eyes. Her father's eyes were full of disdain. The old man was disdainful of them and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, we'll leave now. Dad, Mom, you have a good rest."

Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "Well, let's go back. Be careful on the road."

Rong Chuan also smiled and helped his wife to stand up, "Dad and Mom, we are back."

Zhulan pinched Zhou Shuren, which frightened him. He felt that he could not stand anyone. When Rongchuan did not come back just now, Zhou Shuren drove his daughter-in-law and children away.

Zhou Shuren waited for his daughter-in-law and son-in-law to leave, and no longer needed to be tied up. He just lay down on the kang, "I don't have any strength left now."

Zhulan's feet couldn't move, and she stretched out her hand to help massage but couldn't reach it, "Come closer, I'll help you massage."

Zhou Shuren moved closer little by little, "My heart feels empty."

Zhulan was the same. After she was nervous, she relaxed and felt something was wrong. "We found a human skin mask this time. I wonder if the emperor has enough potions? If he does, we can probably catch a lot of people."

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes. "If it's not enough, we still have the King of Qi. The King of Qi will search every household."

Zhu Lan grabbed Zhou Shuren's hair and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"

Zhou Shuren hissed, his hair being pulled in pain, "I was thinking about the death of the Zhang family last time. This time there is a large-scale search, will those who stayed in the city die accidentally?"

Zhulan let go of the hair in her hands, "The emperor is very happy with the current situation."

Zhou Shuren felt a little tired. He closed his eyes and hummed. He wanted to have a good rest now.

Dinner at night? Each courtyard ate separately. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren ate some rice porridge and then rested.

In Zhoujia Village, Chang Zhi was looking at the letter from the Zhao family. After reading it, he handed it to his wife. "The Zhao family in Pingzhou invited us to Pingzhou."

Su Xuan knew that her father-in-law had a friend who was from the Zhao family of Pingzhou. "What do you mean?"

Changzhi didn't want to go. "The Zhao family is a big family in Pingzhou. I'm going there to represent my father. It takes more than a few days to go there. It takes half a month to go back and forth. The provincial examination is getting closer and closer. I can't waste a moment. So I won't go. I'll write a letter to say goodbye later."

Su Xuan put down the letter, "Just know what's going on. Yes, there is no place to live in Pingzhou. There are many people from the Zhou family going to take the exam this time. I am thinking of buying a house. I will not sell this house in the future. I will keep it in Pingzhou for future students of the Zhou family to live in. What do you think?"

Changzhi smiled and said, "I think it's good. Those who go to Pingzhou for examinations in the future will remember you."

Su Xuan was feeling a little down, "I've been back home for so long, I miss my children a little bit, I don't know if the two little guys miss us."

Changzhi also missed his children and his parents. In their correspondence, his parents never mentioned anything about home. "We can go back in a few months."

Su Xuan nodded, "Yes."

In the capital, Zhou Shuren slept until he woke up naturally. The Zhou family was very quiet, but outside it became noisy. King Qi asked someone to bring potions to start checking the ministers' mansions. He did not mention Zhou Shuren, but only said to check whether there was anyone wearing a human skin mask.

After these words were spoken, everyone cooperated very well. Who wouldn’t want their own backyard to be stable?

The cost of human skin masks is not low, and it is really impossible to own them in large quantities. However, the probability of them being found in the residences of important officials is very high.

The King of Qi was very thorough in his work. Every time he checked a palace, the gates were closed and no one was allowed to leave after the check. Otherwise, they would be killed without mercy. This greatly reduced the possibility of passing on information.

Zhou Shuren and Zhulan had breakfast and sat in the yard drinking tea to enjoy the cool air.

Wang Ju returned home from the government office, and Tao found her backbone, "Dad is in the palace, so I have no choice but to let you go back home."

Wang Ju came back without knowing what happened. He only knew that the soldier had sent a message to ask him to come back. "What happened?"

Tao gritted her teeth and clucked, "We found someone wearing a human skin mask in the mansion, who are you?"

Wang Ju really couldn't guess, and was extremely anxious, "Hurry up and tell me."

Tao covered her chest with her hands. "The butler in charge of purchasing."

Wang Ju felt a chill on her back and her legs were a little weak. She was in charge of purchasing, which meant she was in charge of the food for the entire Wang family. The people in these important positions were all confidants. Their family was always walking on the edge of a knife. "Damn it, they are too arrogant."

Tao lowered his voice, "If something happens, they want to drug us and control the entire Wang Mansion."

Wang Ju was sweating profusely, thinking of treason. If her family was really drugged, her father would have no choice but to give in. This was too complicated. "You should appease the family first. I, forget it. I'll stay at home. I can't go out at this time."

When he came back, I told him that he could not leave the house.

Tao pressed her forehead, and indeed needed comfort. "I plan to replace all the servants in the kitchen."

"As you say."

At Li Zhao's house, Li Zhao's wife stared at her personal maid. Although she was not a confidant included in the dowry, she was also trusted. She didn't notice that the maid had been replaced.

Li Zhao's wife was sweating profusely. Fortunately, her husband never discussed official business with her. She was even more glad that the man had been caught. "Your Highness Prince Qi, thank you very much."

If it weren't for the King of Qi today, she would not be able to discover it unless something really happened.

Prince Qi had been investigating all the way and the book in his hand was already very thick. Not to mention that he would be terrified if he found something, even he himself felt a chill in his heart. Those who were arrested were all important officials and their wives. These people either had the trust of their masters or were in important positions. If the Zhou family did not find the human skin mask, once something happened in this big network, the court would suffer heavy losses.

This is under the pretext of successfully controlling important officials, but if they fail, both sides will be destroyed!

When Prince Qi came out of Li's mansion, he saw Prince Chu and Prince Liang. The faces of his two younger brothers were particularly ugly, especially Prince Liang.

Prince Qi closed the book and asked, "Did you find out about this in your mansion as well?"

The King of Chu looked gloomy. "She is the head maidservant who is beside my son and is in charge of his food."

It was difficult to get close to him, but he unexpectedly went straight for his eldest son.

When Prince Liang saw that everyone was looking at him, he felt a pang in his heart and didn't want to say anything.

King Qi raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you notice? Or is it still difficult to speak?"

The King of Chu widened his eyes. "It can't be from your backyard, right? Is it a new one? Or an old one?"

The King of Liang's face darkened. Well, the change of expression had already explained everything. The King of Qi looked the fourth child up and down, "Look at your face, is he still in your favor? You are amazing, fourth child!"

Tiantian is a guy wearing a human skin mask, but Lao Si can still eat it. It’s amazing, really amazing!

King Liang moved his lips, but finally succumbed to curiosity and asked, "If you take off the human skin mask, will she still be a beauty?"
