Chapter 444

Zhang Daogui's expression changed like this, causing Zhang Jingxiu's heart to sink, and that bad premonition became stronger and stronger.

"I know that the Qi Yin who came back with you not only comes from the secular world, but also serves in the army and has a good official position. He should know very well what happened in your family. Haven't you ever heard of any information from him?"

"No, Brother Qi's identity is a bit special and he doesn't know anything about the outside world's news."

However, Zhang Jingxiu himself didn't believe what he said, so he naturally lacked the confidence and had much less persuasion.

Of course, Zhang Jingxiu said this, but there is no reason to believe it. It is because Qi Yin’s identity is very sensitive. Once recognized, it will not only be in danger of life, but also involve his family.

However, this does not mean that Qi Yin’s news channels are very closed and he does not understand what is happening outside.

After all, it is not a trivial matter for the Zhang family to be liquidated by the court. Almost all the elderly, weak, women and children know it. The court even posted notices, which were not handled secretly. It is almost known to everyone in the world. Even if you hide in the army, you should hear about it.

Moreover, even if Qi Yin's news is blocked and his identity is sensitive, it is difficult to contact the outside world, but he still has his uncle and his confidant in the Qi family's army around him. He is in the military camp and his position is not low. In normal times, he will hear some news more or less.

However, Zhang Jingxiu was not completely deceiving himself. He did not get any news about his family from Qi Yin, but he had a minimum judgment that his relatives were in a bad situation in the face of the court's liquidation.

Otherwise, Qi Yin would not be unwilling to disclose it at all.

To a certain extent, Qi Yin's lies are very naive and almost unskilled. They seem to have said nothing, but they have already expressed a message.

However, Zhang Jingxiu did not produce the broken window paper. He didn't want to embarrass both of them, and he didn't want Qi Yin to be embarrassed.

After all, the other party was kind.

Although I don't want it, I don't like such kind-hearted lies.

"Boy, what are you thinking?"

A faint sentence immediately made Zhang Jingxiu wake up. Seeing that he had no response, he seemed a little rude. Not only was Zhang Daogui not angry, but he was very understanding, and he also said to himself: "Boy, you must be mentally prepared. The situation at your family is very bad."

While speaking, Zhang Daogui deliberately bit the word "very" very hard, and he kept paying attention to Zhang Jingxiu's expression fluctuations.

At this moment, when he heard the words "very bad", Zhang Jingxiu slowly turned his head and pulled his cheek slightly. Although he felt an extremely strong bad feeling in his heart, Zhang Jingxiu still tried hard to restrain his emotions and made himself look calm, and said almost word by word: "Please tell me clearly for me."

"well--"

Looking at Zhang Jingxiu's almost begging eyes, Zhang Daogui felt soft and suddenly sighed for no reason, then slowly continued.

"According to the information obtained by the sect, to a certain extent, although your family's ending is very bad, or even a bit miserable, compared to other families, the final result has improved too much, which is very good."

"Your elder brother Zhang Jingxiu committed suicide. I believe you should know from the moment you escaped from Jiangling City. Your second brother Zhang Sixiu was sent to Guangdong, a small place called Leiyang. Your third brother Zhang Maoxiu had a much bigger life. He had not died from his death when he was thrown into a well and did not die on a hunger strike. He was finally exiled to Jiangxi, but he was deprived of his fame as the top scholar."

"As for your fourth brother Zhang Jianxiu, because of the three-sided governor Wang Zhigao's running, he was mediated and managed in the court and the country, and now he lives in Shaanxi with his wife and children, which is the home of your fourth brother's father-in-law Wang Zhigao."

"Your fifth brother, although he has not been punished by the secular court, he has become abnormal and has been living in Jiangling Chaos all day long."

"What about my grandma?"

Zhang Jingxiu froze. Every time he heard a message, he felt like he was struck by lightning. His body trembled slightly, but it was not obvious. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly interrupted Zhang Daogui. He even said a little out of control: "My grandma is over 70 years old and she is very weak and cannot withstand the blow."

However, Zhang Daogui's expression was particularly relaxed this time and his mood was much better, without the solemn solemnity that he had just done.

"Ha, silly boy, don't be nervous, don't be so panicked. It's okay, things are not as bad as you think. Otherwise, I'll say that."

Seeing Zhang Jingxiu's anxious look, Zhang Daogui seemed to laugh dryly. Even his speech was incoherent, but gradually he returned to normal, his speech became smoother and more organized.

"Silly boy, your grandma is fine. She is living well now. The secular court has not done anything to her. Although her wealth and land of Zhangjiajia have been confiscated and seized, she has left hundreds of acres of land for your grandma. With the care of your sister-in-law, she lives a worry-free life. Don't worry, she is doing well now."

Zhang Jingxiu was a little hesitant. To be precise, he could not believe Zhang Daogui's words. Emperor Wanli was so ruthless and ruthless, how could he let his grandmother go easily?

It seemed that he had seen through Zhang Jingxiu's thoughts and the doubts in it, Zhang Daogui pondered for a moment, his expression slightly calmed down, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he continued solemnly.

"In theory, judging from the big moves of the secular emperor, no matter who pleads with him, he will not let your family go so easily, and he will not do anything that is raised high and falls gently."

"Based on past experience, if I was not wrong, some big shots should have taken action in dealing with your Zhang family affairs and forced the secular emperor to make concessions and compromises. Only your relatives escaped the disaster were punished symbolically."

"After all, even if your surviving brothers were sent to some remote places, your father's old friends were there to serve as officials. Naturally, someone would provide some help. Survival is not a problem."

"So, to some extent, the ending of your family is not too bad, it is much better than many official families."

Zhang Jingxiu was very impressed and nodded slightly from time to time. There was a faint thoughtful look on his face, which appeared and was even more speculating in his heart.

Could it be that the eunuchs Zhang Cheng and Qiu Wei really did what I said?

Or has Wei Zhending come forward?

With Emperor Wanli's ruthlessness and his attitude of killing the whole family, he wouldn't have let his brother and the others go so easily?

The Supreme Elder's words should not be false, and there is no need.
