Funing Hall

Zhao Shiqi also knew that he should go back to Hangzhou immediately, but he couldn't find the knife.

He can't go back.

And he can't go back, there are guards at the gate of the city searching every day, seeing the young Erlang, they have to ask carefully about his age and family situation.

No matter how capable he is, he can't fly over the wall and climb over the city wall.

He can only stay in Kaifeng Mansion, and he still lives in the backyard of the Yuan Family Tea House.This teahouse was originally his property, after he came back from rebirth, he took the money saved by his mother and ordered Mu Fu to open it outside.In the past ten years, this business has grown bigger and bigger, and other shops on the side have also been sold, and it seems to be the largest tea house in Tokyo.

Before leaving five years ago, Jixiang deserved to be well, but Yuanjia Teahouse never heard from him.

He even wondered if Jixiang was dead, otherwise why would it be so?But Jixiang is a smart person, he knows how to protect himself best, he shouldn't die easily, but if he doesn't die, why is there no news at all?He asked clearly that in the past five years, no carrier pigeons have ever flown here.

Now that something like this happened, he wanted to get in touch with Ji Xiang even more, but he didn't dare to act rashly, he was afraid of being discovered by Zhao Cong.In particular, Zhao Cong was actually looking for him.Does Zhao Cong believe that he is dead?After all these years, they are still looking for him?

Rao even felt a little unbelievable.

On the day of Lantern Festival, Zhao Cong smiled as before, as if he had never changed.

Zhao Cong shouldn't be like this, they have only been together for nearly a year.

His leaving and staying should not be missed.

Where did he have the ability to make people miss him for so long?

Moreover, he only saw Zhao Cong that day, and he became strange again.He, who is not afraid of anything, has to admit that he is afraid of Zhao Cong, terribly afraid.

In the past few days, while he ordered Yan Mo to go out to find knives and inquire about him, he could only stay in the teahouse and be bored alone.

The guards are crazy, and they will question anyone they catch in the city.According to Yan Mo, even some tall ladies would be stopped, for fear that they would disguise themselves as women.

And the city of Tokyo these days has been really lively.In addition to the fact that the guards were looking for someone like digging the ground, there was one more thing.

This story has to start with Zhao Kelu, king of Huijun, after he left the palace that day, he found an opportunity to trick Sun Zhuqing out, and stuck him in an empty house, and made people beat him to death, and even punched him Hit there.

Sun Zhuqing is an idiot, it's really easy to trick her out, find some beauties, and she'll be sure.He was beaten half to death, and the part under his body was even crippled.Zhao Kelu didn't let him go back, he continued to trap him in the house, and didn't allow any doctor to treat him, it was obvious that he was delaying to make the place under him completely broken.

Even so, the people in Huijun Palace were still not very happy.Zhao Shu'an was gentle and timid, and when she woke up, she was still in a daze, unable to speak at all, and she was terrified.

Her elder brother Zhao Shuhua, in a fit of rage, went to beat up Sun Zhuqing himself without even covering his face.

Sun Zhuqing disappeared for a few days, but the people in Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion were fine.After all, Sun Zhuqing used to act like this before, when he was away from home for a few days, they just thought he was out messing around again.What's more, he has been crazy for several years, and he finally woke up. The family members dare not stimulate him too much.

On this day, Sun Zhuqing's mother, Mrs. Yu, was still talking to the maid about showing him his daughter-in-law. Sun Zhuqing was already 22 years old, but because of his bad reputation, no one wanted to marry his daughter to their family.Pian Yu's heart was very big, thinking that her son could marry a princess even if he married a princess, so he didn't look at low-class families easily.

Now that the past few years have passed, she has already felt that she was dragging the little girls from the downfall of the Hou's family with a matchmaker who often walks in the rich family, when her personal maid suddenly rushed in and said, "It's not good. Oh no!"

The mistresses of these rich families disliked these words the most, Yu frowned and was about to reprimand them.

The servant girl seemed about to cry: "My lady! It's really bad! Go and have a look! I don't know what kind of cruel thing beat our Dalang and threw him outside the house. The clothes on his body were all torn, There is no good skin anywhere!"

Yu's eyes blurred, and he almost fell down again.It was because of offending His Majesty that he was stripped of his clothes and knelt outside the Xuande Building, and was watched over and over by everyone, and Qing'er fell insane.Now that it is like this, what should I do if I go crazy again? !

"Lady! Go and have a look!"

She patted the table and cheered up: "Who dares to hit our Da Lang!!" After saying that, she hurried to the front yard.

Sun Zhuqing has a thick skin now, after going through this difficult situation, he is not crazy.As soon as he woke up, he didn't care about anything, and immediately shouted that it was Zhao Shuhua who hit him.But he is shameless, he must say that he and Zhao Shu'an are happy with each other, and Zhao Shuhua beats up the mandarin duck!

When his parents heard it, was it okay? !

It just so happened that in the past few years, Sun Boxun, who is used to face and is used to it, couldn't bear others' eyes and ridicule in Tokyo, and couldn't live anymore, so he lived in a separate courtyard in Luoyang for a long time.He didn't expect his son to make any big troubles. After all, His Majesty had long since disregarded the Sun family. Although there was no benefit to him, there was no harm either.

Sun Feng is also a bastard, he has always relied on his father and sister, but now his father and sister have nothing to do, and he also slapped the table and went to Huijun Prince's Mansion to seek justice.

Yu Shi was more thoughtful than him, rolled his eyes, grabbed him, and said, "Wait a minute."

"Wait a minute?! My son has been beaten like this, how can he slow down?!"

"Hmph! Even if Zhao Shuhua is the eldest son of Huijun Prince's Mansion, there is no reason to beat Qing'er like this! Although the Empress Dowager doesn't care about things now, she is the Empress Dowager after all! Even if I cry into the palace, Your Majesty can't ignore this matter! It's just that Qing'er just said that he and Le'an county master are in love..."

Turning his head, Sun Feng immediately understood, and then laughed.

Sun Feng took the host and carried more than 20 gifts, and even brought a pair of wild geese, and went directly to Huijun Prince's Mansion.

He opened his mouth and said, asking for the marriage of Zhao Shu'an, the head of Le'an County, on behalf of their eldest son Sun Zhuqing.

Originally, wild geese were hard to find in winter, but such a pair of well-raised wild geese attracted everyone's attention. This is the son of Uncle Zhongxiao who brought people to Prince Hui's mansion!Countless ordinary people crowded outside Huijun Prince's Mansion to watch the fun, and Sun Feng was even happier, and felt that this trip would definitely be successful, and he was very happy.

The housekeeper of Huijun Prince's Mansion tried to persuade them to go back with good words at first, but Sun Feng didn't listen at all, Zhao Shu'an's younger brothers couldn't bear it any longer, and beat them as soon as they came out.In the chaos, the wild geese had already flown into the sky, and Sun Feng led his men to fight with them, yelling things like Dalang and Le'an county master being in love with each other, but Huijun king beating mandarin ducks.The people in Huijun Prince's Mansion hated it so much that even the housekeeper and the people at the porter took up sticks and beat them together, and the scene was in chaos.

Sun Feng naturally didn't have the upper hand, he stopped fighting halfway through the fight, turned around and went to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to make decisions.

Where did Zhao Kelu think that Sun Zhuqing was so shameless?You can even say such inversions of black and white!

The incident happened so suddenly that Zhao Cong didn't have time to react.

Empress Dowager Sun was already holding her breath, and when she heard Sun Feng say this, it was her nephew after all, and beating him like this was slapping her in the face.

She opened her mouth to marry Sun Zhuqing and Zhao Shu'an.

Zhao Cong, who happened to hear the news, came in, and upon hearing this, he said, "How can Dalang Sun be worthy of being the Lord of Le'an County?"

This is because they look down on their grandson's family, so Empress Dowager Sun held back her breath and asked, "Why don't you deserve it?"

Zhao Cong sneered in his heart, he had been annoyed because he still couldn't find Zhao Shiyi in the past few days, and the excitement on the Lantern Festival had long since disappeared.They completely bumped into his muzzle, and he said directly: "Sun Zhuqing, why are you worthy of Le'an county magistrate? Is it due to status? Or is it worthy of talent? Or is it worthy of appearance?! Don't let this matter go any further carry!"

Even though the incident of dyeing pottery was covered up, who would not know about it? !What are you pretending to be stupid for?

Now it's terrible, even the daughter of the Zhao family dares to think about it!

Zhao Cong became angry with Rantao's anger, he was extremely angry, after all, Zhao Shu'an was her sister's best friend, how could he allow the Sun family to mess around.

He straightened his face and said directly: "Queen Dowager, son, I didn't say that, you know more about Sun Zhuqing's character than I do. A man in his 20s doesn't do business, doesn't study, doesn't study all day long." There are so many yamen in Tokyo, no matter how bad they are, they still know how to manage the shop for the family! What about him?! What did he do back then, no one else knows, you don’t know? Can you believe it?!"

"Your Majesty!" The Empress Dowager's face was dull.

"Your Majesty, don't tell me too much, my son will go home now. Tomorrow, I will personally go to Huijun Prince's Mansion to apologize! Otherwise, I will send someone to your mansion to accompany you! Back then, I thought he was crazy, so I didn't punish him." He. This time, you should do it yourself!"

After Zhao Cong said that, he walked away. This family is really shameless!

As soon as he left, Queen Mother Sun gasped again and again.

Sun Feng wanted to speak again, but Queen Mother Sun slapped the table angrily: "Get lost!"

Sun Feng had no choice but to return angrily.

Aunt Wang quickly caressed Empress Dowager Sun's heart, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, this is too much!"

Empress Dowager Sun sneered: "He is the emperor, what can we do?!"

Zhao Cong walked back to Funing Hall, looked up and saw Geely feeding the pigeons again, remembering that it was time for Geely to send a letter, he glanced at Geely before walking back to the main hall.

After about a quarter of an hour, Ji Li came in, saluted, and handed over the small note: "Your Majesty, this is for today."

Zhao Cong opened it and looked, as expected, what was written on it was what he had done in the past ten days.

Strange to say, since five years ago, this auspicious letter has been sent out every ten days.Ji Xiang doesn't know, Ji Li counts the number of pigeons every day, and Ji Li knows the direction the pigeons often fly to.The first time a pigeon was about to fly out of the palace, Geely saw it and shot it down with a slingshot, and showed it to Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong opened it and took it as if Ji Xiang had finally shown his feet and told him whereabouts.He was very wary of Jixiang at that time, thinking that he would eventually catch the person behind Jixiang.And Jixiang has to pass it out every ten days, every month for five years, Jili has also stopped all the pigeons, and there are several stacks of such small notes in his study.

But gradually, he became more and more confused about the auspicious way.

Although Jixiang's whereabouts in every ten days are written in the note that Jixiang sent out, but other than that, that's all.In the words of Zhao Cong in his previous life, what was recorded above was Zhao Cong's daily life, and he almost never talked about government affairs.Only a few times, when he was angry with certain ministers, it was written on it, but the focus was on his "angry", and he did not mention what he was angry with.

Sometimes, Zhao Cong, who is puzzled, can't help but have a certain idea in his mind, after all, he is not stupid.The logic of this matter is too unreasonable. Only when you think about it to the absurd, things seem to be right.

But he would get rid of such absurd thoughts from his mind.He didn't dare to think in that direction at all. If he thought that way, what was the care and love he had given?

Now, he is no longer as wary of Ji Xiang as he was before. Apart from this suspicious behavior, Ji Xiang really needs to use it. Together with Lu Yuan, he has become Fu Lu's right-hand man, helping to manage the affairs of the palace.

He pressed today's note with a paperweight, and waved Ji Li out.

After Ji Li went out, he leaned back on the chair and picked up the knife on the table to look at it.

When Fu Lu saw the knife that day, he was really ecstatic, only thinking that Zhao Shiyi would find it soon.But after searching for five days, it is said that the guards asked all the men on the street, but they couldn't find a 16-year-old man who looked like Zhao Shishi.

He didn't want to be disappointed, but he couldn't help but despair.

He picked up the knife and put the hilt of the knife against his head, wondering, is Zhao Shishi really dead?But if he was completely dead, why did this knife appear in front of him again on the day of Shangyuan Festival?He could travel through time after death, and he thought it was a hint from God that he was about to find Zhao Shiyi.

But why, just didn't find it? !

His little eleven shouldn't have died in the first place.

Zhao Cong was unwilling to give up, insisting that this was a hint from God, and the guards were still looking for Zhao Shishi every day.

However, Zhao Shiqi became more and more irritable. He didn't say that he didn't find the knife, and he went out to inquire every day, saying that there are more and more people looking for him in the city, and he dare not go out.The number of guards checking at the city gate has also doubled, how dare he act so lightly.

Huijun Prince's Mansion and Zhongxiao Bo's Mansion are also lively and beautiful in the past few days, and there is even more movement in Tokyo. The common people love to watch such disputes.

But on this day, there was a bigger commotion.

Sun Feng was reprimanded by His Majesty, but he honestly went to Huijun Prince's Mansion to apologize. Zhao Kelu was so angry that he didn't want to spare him lightly, and asked him to kneel down and apologize.

In fact, it's nothing for Sun Feng to kneel down to a county prince, but he thought their family was from the past. He got angry, and immediately started to make trouble again, continuing to yell about Sun Zhuqing and Zhao Shu'an's love affair, and again He didn't change his words, and made people go out to spread it.

Zhao Shu'an's reputation was completely ruined by him.

Zhao Shu'an is not fully awake yet, if she wants to know how to tell her from outside, he is afraid that he will hang himself.She has a gentle temperament and is a very traditional Song girl, so she naturally cannot accept such a thing.

And Zhao Zongning has been enduring these days, until now she could no longer bear it anymore, she took the guards of the Princess Mansion, and rode directly to the gate of Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion.

The chief guard shouted directly: "Tell Sun Zhuqing to come out!"

Zhao Zongning was riding a horse today, dressed as a gentleman, with long hair tied into a bun and a golden crown on his head, looking suave and suave.She stood up in front of the door on horseback, raised her chin slightly, her eyes showed disdain.The porter immediately started to tremble, turned around and stumbled inside to report.

Sun Feng came out, saluted her, and wanted to dismiss her.He has never confronted Zhao Zongning head-on. In his opinion, how powerful can a girl be?

Zhao Zongning sneered: "Tell Sun Zhuqing to come out."

"Princess! Da Lang is seriously injured and can't come out!" Sun Feng pretended.

Zhao Zongning didn't say much, just drew out his long whip, rode on the horse, and threw it on the ground forcefully.

After Sun Feng was startled, he looked up at her.

Zhao Zongning said every word: "Bring that scum out!"

Sun Feng came back to his senses and said loudly: "The princess is so unreasonable, our family is suffering..." He thought that Zhao Zongning was the Huijun prince's mansion, and he had to endure it for the sake of reputation.But Zhao Zongning never acted according to people's ideas. She waved her hand and interrupted his nonsense: "Gag him for this princess! All right! I don't want Sun Zhuqing to come out, Che Xia, you take someone in and personally arrest Sun Zhuqing." come out!"

Che Xia was also dressed as a young man today, so she went in to fetch the man herself, while the guards stepped forward to gag Sun Feng.

Sun Zhuqing was brought out, and was whipped by Zhao Zongning at the gate of Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion until he was dying.

Zhao Zongning didn't stop the people from watching, but also specially asked the guards to invite people to watch. After she finished drawing, she said to everyone: "Sun Zhuqing of Uncle Zhongxiao's mansion has a dirty mind, and he loves County Lord Le'an. He knows that he is not worthy, so he will do everything he can to hurt these people." Tricks! The people present have eyes and brains, let me ask you, how can the county head of a county palace look at such a scumbag?! County head Le'an doesn't even know who he is!"

Everyone looked at Sun Zhuqing who was twitching on the ground, and then looked at the princess, the princess was also very handsome in her clothes, and it is said that the princess Le'an is even more beautiful.

So the beautiful and noble county head can fall in love with such a person?

The people quickly shook their heads together.

The Lord of Le'an County is probably crazy to fall in love with such a person!

Rumors are naturally debunked.

Zhao Zongning's move immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhao Shiqi, who was in the Yuanjia teahouse, knew about it immediately.

He was secretly worried about Zhao Cong, although he knew that Zhao Cong was not as weak as he imagined, he had been away thousands of miles before, and he came here five years ago.But now that we are so close, I always worry about Zhao Cong unconsciously.

And that knife really became a knife engraved in his heart.

He finally sat down, wrote a note, and sent it to the palace with a flying pigeon.

If Jixiang is still alive, he can receive it and solve his doubts.

If Jixiang is dead, no one will be able to notice even a small carrier pigeon. Jixiang has always been naive.

Sun Zhuqing was almost beaten to death by Zhao Zongning.

When Empress Dowager Sun heard about this, she felt that her face had been completely thrown away.

When Zhao Zongning slapped Sun Zhuqing like this, he slapped her face, the Sun family's face!It doesn't matter if she can't be the emperor, she only wants to be the queen mother, but Zhao Cong didn't even give her the right to the harem.She even demoted her natal family to an earl, and her parents are now avoiding Luoyang.

Sun Zhuqing is the only legitimate son of this generation of the Sun family. It is said that the place under his body has been destroyed, and he may not even have the ability to reproduce in the future.Although he has many concubines, his family remembers that there is a difference between his concubine and his concubine, and they strictly control him so that no concubine is allowed to conceive a child.It's better now, it's better to let those concubines conceive at the beginning!

The Sun family really wants to have no descendants.

Empress Dowager Sun sat in the dim Baoci Hall, both angry and sad.

Aunt Wang said: "Princess is too much! She used to disregard the rules and go to court with the courtiers, but now she dresses up like a man, after beating the duke like this!"

Empress Dowager Sun sneered: "My aunt is joking, the Sun family is no longer the Duke's family."

She knew Qingming was taking the blame for Aunt Wang, and she also wanted to execute Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang hugged her leg and cried all night, confessing to her.She also thought about how sad she was in the palace when she was a child, how Aunt Wang treated her, and how she couldn't kill her after all.But even so, she was not as good as before to Aunt Wang.But Baoci Palace is not as good as before, only Aunt Wang still treats her wholeheartedly, so she can only continue to get along with Aunt Wang like this.

"Your Majesty is very thoughtful and has lied to us all these years. Once he takes the position, he doesn't even care about any affection!"

Empress Dowager Sun laughed even more: "Auntie, what are you laughing at? You wanted to poison him to death, but he didn't hate you, he didn't hate me, who did he hate?! You're going to poison him to death, and if he doesn't stand up again, wait Are you going to do it again? Do you think that if Qingming goes out to take the blame, you and I will be fine?"

"...Miss."

"Don't say a few words! I only keep your life because of the loneliness in the palace. If you dare to have such random thoughts, I will kill you!"

Although Empress Dowager Sun said so, she was indeed very angry. The Zhao family was deceiving too much.She was angry, but she also laughed, and in Aunt Wang's puzzled eyes, she said, "Since my grandson's family wants to have no offspring, and Da Lang is like this, no one will dare to marry him in the future. My aunt , I have to find a marriage for him!"

"Miss?"

"Since Da Lang is not worthy of Le'an County Lord, he is climbing a high branch anyway, why not climb the tallest one?!"

Even Aunt Wang was shocked.

"Go! Grind ink for me! Although I'm in decline, a reward, a marriage would be enough!"
