Bright Spring

Shen Xu pondered: "Isn't it because they committed crimes first that the death row prisoners in the prison are sympathetic?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If those crimes can be applied to everyone in the world, I agree that their death is a crime."

Shen Xushi's gaze, like something tangible, flicked over Zhu Gaoxu's face, and she said softly: "My lord seems to be a little troubled today?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I'm just talking nonsense."

Shen Xu said in a casual tone again: "I have met several times before, but the young master has never spoken like this."

Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking and looked sideways at the stage.The voices of the actors singing and the noise of the judges were just right, neither affecting their conversation on the balcony, nor covering up the voices here so that they would not be heard by outsiders.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and said, "I came to see Mrs. Shen today. I have something to ask. Please help me get a road guide for Kunming County. He is a businessman, a man in his twenties, tall and strong, with a northern accent. Thanks a lot."

Shen Xu said calmly: "You can find such a person in the business gang, and after two days, I will send the things to the palace. It's a little effort, you don't have to be polite."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Last time I went back to Lijiang Mansion Copper Mine, I have already sent someone to send a letter to the Yunnan Chief Envoy, is it done?"

Shen Xu smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master."

After a while, Mrs. Shen Xu said softly again: "When Li Louxian finishes singing this scene, the concubine asks her to be with you for a good life. I hope you can forget your troubles and be happier."

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he laughed "heh", "Mrs. Shen accepted it kindly."

Shen Xu said calmly again: "The things in our place are not what can be found in the palace. Don't you want to try something rare?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slightly, thinking: It's as if I have never repaired a car.

He said: "It's strange, but after doing those things, my heart will always be empty. I'm not in the mood recently, so I'll talk about it later."

"Alright." Shen Xu was a little embarrassed, and then laughed softly, "Young master, what do you think they should do to make people feel better?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "That's impossible. It's like I played with Li Louxian, or I gave money, or owed Mrs. Shen a favor, fair and fair. But my troubles are still there, can Li Louxian solve it? What's more, I have never had anything to do with Li Louxian and have no affection, does she really care about my troubles?"

He paused, and then sighed with some emotion: "If my trouble is that I lost my fortune by gambling; and then I still spend money on this matter, it will be worse, it is like drinking poison to quench my thirst. There is no good medicine for human troubles. "

Mrs. Shen Xu nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that the concubine wants to tell Xu Cailiu that the girls have to be more affectionate."

"It's all fake." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.He cupped his fists and said, "I will stay soon, I hope Madam Shen will keep the matter of Lu Yin a secret."

Shen Xu got up and said: "Young Master, don't worry, this concubine will definitely do everything well. Concubine will send you out."

"Ma'am stay." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Shen Xu suddenly said again, "I am really looking forward to talking with the prince again, it is indeed very interesting."

... Zhu Gaoxu woke up in the morning and first went to the study beside the Chengyun Hall to read official documents and reports.

At this moment, an eunuch came in and said: "Outside Tiren's gate, a person sent a letter, please look it over. The little ones have locked him up at the gate first."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Take it apart."

The eunuch tore open the envelope and presented the paper inside with both hands.Zhu Gaoxu unfolded it and took a look: It's been nearly two years since the old man left, can we see each other?

In just two lines, the language is unclear.But when Zhu Gaoxu saw it, he felt an inexplicable ominous feeling in his heart.

"Release the detainees, pass on to Wang Gui." Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered.

The eunuch held Fuchen in his arms and said, "Your servant obeys."

When Wang Gui entered, Zhu Gaoxu asked him to prepare an ordinary carriage.Then Wang Gui drove the car, and Zhu Gaoxu got out of the palace from Tiren Gate on the east, and walked east along the street.

Zhu Gaoxu raised the curtain of the car and observed the pedestrians and scenes around him.

Not long after, a thick|burly man wearing a big hat suddenly came out of an alley on the side of the street.Seeing that figure, Zhu Gaoxu already had a mournful expression on his face.The carriage didn't stop at all, and the man nimbly grabbed the door panel at the back, broke through the wooden board and the curtain and climbed up.

Even though he was wearing a loose robe, the man's extremely thick|strong body still couldn't be concealed, and the muscles on his arms supported the loose sleeves of the robe.The man took off the big hat on his head, revealing a familiar face... who is it not Ping An?

"Why is Brother Ping'an in Yunnan Mansion?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help blurting out the first sentence.

The flesh on Ping An's face twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "It's a long story. I still remember what the King of Han told me to remember. Has the King of Han forgotten?"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, patted the carriage board and said, "Wang Gui, go to the stronghold on Banyan Street."

The Banyan Tree Street stronghold is close to the Mu Mansion, which is not a good place to go.But after the people there left, it was now an empty courtyard; things were in a hurry, Zhu Gaoxu thought of that place, at least he would not let Ping An contact with others, and he had a temporary hiding place.

Zhu Gaoxu got out of the car first at the gate of the yard, picked up half a brick from the ground, knocked off the copper lock, and asked Wang Gui to drive the carriage into the yard.On the brick floor in the yard, there were still some pieces of broken porcelain. Zhu Gaoxu remembered that it was a thick bowl brought back from Agu Temple last time. It was broken for inspection, and the pieces have not been cleaned yet.

Zhu Gaoxu and Ping An walked into the main room and asked Wang Gui to look around.

They sat down on the benches beside the square table, and Ping An said, "I just arrived in Yunnan Mansion, and I just entered the city this morning, so I immediately came to look for the King of Han. If the King of Han is afraid of being implicated, he can escort me back to Beijing." , anyway, I only have half my life left!"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "A while ago, I sent someone to the capital to deliver medicinal materials to my mother. I heard something about it. Although Ping'an was impeached, he also served as an official in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion? Why did things become so urgent?"

"Damn it!" Ping An cursed first, "The person who falsely accused me was just a Qianhu from Peking. I didn't find out until I arrived in the capital that Qianhu, who had been promoted to the third rank, was in command of him. Even if you treat me like a donkey, I'm not that stupid. Don't you know what this means?

It didn't take long before I found that there were people hanging around all day long, and I don't know how many people were thinking about how to falsely accuse me so that I could get promoted and make a fortune!If I don't run quickly, can I still run away? "

Zhu Gaoxu pondered: "So that's the case."

Pingan said again: "The eunuch Wang Gui is a member of the King of Han, and he met him outside the imperial city. Wang Gui greeted him first, and I risked my life to say a few words. If it wasn't for the urgent situation, I would lose my head, and I wouldn't be with an eunuch. Say those words."

Zhu Gaoxu pondered, now it is useless to blame Ping An for his haste, he just said: "General Ping came to Yunnan, there must be witnesses along the way, sooner or later the court will find out, you look too strange."

Pingan frowned and said: "What the prince said is very true, but it is too easy to be recognized, so I came to Yunnan, otherwise just find a place to hide under my name and forget it!"

There was a look of frustration in his tiger eyes, "If the king of Han is difficult, he can just send me back and show his loyalty to Jin Shang. I have no reason to blame you."

"Don't worry, General Ping." Zhu Gaoxu stood up, pacing back and forth in the dilapidated main room with his hands behind his back.

The two were silent for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu said: "I want to save General Ping, not to disobey my father... But you and I have fought against each other many times in battle, so it is inevitable that we feel sorry for each other; what's more, General Ping listened to the battle of Lingbi. My persuasion, if you didn't fight me hard, I also owe you a big favor."

Ping An glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, nodded and said, "What the King of Han said is true. Although I have asked about Wang Gui and Qu Neng's father and son, I don't believe that it was the King of Han who did it. You are the son of the King, why did you do those things? The king of Han came to the rescue today because of his personal friendship, the general will definitely remember this great kindness, and never forget it!"

"Very well, that's what happened." Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

Pingan asked tentatively, "Want the King of Han to protect me?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Of course I want to protect you! I was thinking of a way just now, do you think I was hesitating? Safety came suddenly, everything was out of my arrangement, and I was not ready for a while."

Ping An hurriedly got up and cupped his fists and said: "If the last general can get this life, he will be sent by the King of Han from now on!"

Zhu Gaoxu said calmly: "Does Ping An know who owns the mansion next door to the east?"

"I don't know." Ping An shook his head.

"Mu Sheng." Zhu Gaoxu sighed, "The fathers of Ping An and Mu Sheng are both adopted sons of the great ancestor, but your circumstances are quite different."

Ping An stood there in a daze, speechless. .
