mountain and river oath

Shu Zilan walked out of Zhao Jing's room, feeling very sad in her heart. Forsythia, a woman who was so brilliant and intelligent, died like this, and died in this struggle. He saw that Lianqiao loved Zhao Jing, and Zhao Jing didn't have the slightest heart for Lianqiao, and Lianqiao used her own life to make Zhao Jing remember her forever in her future life. Perhaps she used this method to fulfill this hopeless love.

When Shu Zilan returned to his room, he felt uneasy, he had a vague feeling that something would happen to Duan Zhenli,

"Shu Ting" Shu Zilan said.

Shu Ting walked in in response, saying "Young Master"

"Go and have a look in the cell, and tell the guards to keep Duan Zhenli under strict supervision," Shu Zilan said.

"Yes" Shu Ting obeyed and retreated.

Shu Zilan carefully leaned against the head of the bed, leaning against a lead pillow, took out a golden swallow from her cuff, and slowly played with it. This was found on Lianqiao by the attendant beside him when she was sorting her clothes. Qiao's carefulness in hiding shows that this golden swallow must be an extremely precious token of Forsythia. Shu Zilan recognizes this golden swallow, a token of the most mysterious information organization in the world, the Swallow House.

Yanzilou is a Jianghu organization that sells information for a living. Most of the people in the building are born in poverty, but they are all agile and have strange whereabouts. People in high positions and in the imperial court, with complicated birth backgrounds, make Yanzilou have a wide range of sources of information, and the information is very accurate. In just a few years, Yanzilou has become the largest news trading organization in the rivers and lakes. It is extremely strict, members of Yanzilou are not allowed to divulge secrets to anyone irrelevant to anyone, and Yanzilou will issue a hunting order for those who violate the rules. Hunting him down to the end in his lifetime will inevitably ruin his reputation and make him unable to gain a foothold in the world. They have been secretly existing in the rivers and lakes. Few people have seen them, and many people even don't know who the owner of the Yanzi Tower is.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jing turned out to be the landlord of the Yanzi Building, so the information behind him was such a terrifying and powerful force. The people Zhao Jing secretly placed in the Hongcheng County Yamen were all skilled in martial arts, and they acted swiftly and neatly. Going out, everyone can be alone. There are so many talents around Zhao Jing. Shu Zilan shudders when she thinks about it. Zhao Jing hides too deeply, people unconsciously think that he is harmless and will not hurt others. In fact, he is just hiding, waiting for the opportunity , wait for the opportunity to move, kill with one move.

Shu Zilan held the golden swallow and guessed mentally. Lianqiao held a golden swallow in her hand. It seemed that she must have a high status in the swallow building, and Zhao Jing was the owner of the swallow building. Zhang Jun and Wang Lu followed closely. What kind of roles do they play beside Zhao Jing?Shu Zilan was thinking.

Do you want to tell King Yu about this?This makes him feel embarrassed?The prince is currently fighting fiercely with King Yu, but Shu Zilan knows that the prince is not enough to be an enemy, and the battle for the throne in the future must be between Zhao Jing and King Yu.Zhao Jing is currently relying on King Yu, which only shows that his power is not strong enough. Zhao Jing can only hide his edge, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity under the command of King Yu. Now Zhao Jing must hope that King Yu and the prince will fight each other. The more intense the better, the better for him to profit from it, and if Duan Zhenli died in Hongcheng Prison, the prince's power would not be damaged too much, King Yu's main target would be the prince, and he would have no time to pay attention to him.

"Come on, come on!" Shu Zilan hurriedly stood up and called.

The "Young Master" attendant hurriedly walked in and asked.

"Let's go to the prison," Shu Zilan said anxiously.

"It's not good, my lord, the assassin sneaked into the prison secretly, Duan Zhenli is dead." Shu Ting ran in from the outside.

"What?" Shu Zilan's conscious mind went blank for an instant. Duan Zhenli died, and King Yu missed the best time to bring down the prince.Shu Zilan slumped on the chair, her face pale.

"Master" Shu Ting walked to Shu Zilan's side and hurriedly helped him up.

Who killed Duan Zhenli, the crown prince or Zhao Jing?Shu Zilan gradually came to her senses, thinking, this is destined to be an unsolved mystery.

"Shall we go to the prison?" The waiter asked in a low voice.

"I won't go, it's too late" Shu Zilan murmured, she missed this opportunity, and it will take more time to bring down the prince, and the longer the current situation drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for King Yu. The power will spread step by step. Seeing that the three-legged confrontation is gradually forming, King Yu can only act as Zhao Jing's boss and help Zhao Jing expand his power.

Shu Ting looked at Shu Zilan worriedly, not daring to speak, Shu Zilan was filled with remorse, but he was powerless, he could see the situation clearly, but he couldn't help change the situation.

The next day Shu Zilan went to visit Zhao Jing with a calm expression. Zhao Jing was lying on the bed and could not move. Wang Zhi sat on the side and talked with Zhao Jing every sentence. Seeing Shu Zilan walking over, Zhao Jing was calm and unwavering. with a smile on his face,

"You're here," Zhao Jing said.

"En." Shu Zilan said lightly.

"I would like to thank Mr. Shu for helping me this time," Wang Zhi said carelessly.

"Brother, go to the kitchen to see if the medicine is ready? I should drink the medicine. Go over and bring me the medicine." Zhao Jing looked at Wang Zhi and said.

"Brat, dare to order me around," Wang Zhi said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm injured, why don't you hurry up?" Zhao Jing said.

"Stinky boy, I'll beat you again when you recover from your injuries. If you don't beat me for a day, I'll go to the house to expose the tiles." Wang Zhi walked out dissatisfied.

When Wang Zhi walked out, Zhao Jing looked at Wang Lu who was beside him. Wang Lu understood and retreated with a group of attendants. The room was empty for a while, only two people remained.

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and asked.

"You know what I want to say?" Shu Zilan said.

"Duan Zhenli is dead, you think I did it," Zhao Jing said.

"Duan Zhenli is dead, the biggest beneficiary is the crown prince, and then you," Shu Zilan said.

"I'm a prince with no power, why should I do this?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said indifferently.

Shu Zilan took out the golden swallow from his cuff, Zhao Jing looked calm and could not see any fluctuations,

"I guess the golden swallow on Lianqiao's body is in your hands," Zhao Jing said with certainty.

"Are you still a powerless prince? The owner of the Yanzi Building" Shu Zilan said every word.

"So what?" Zhao Jing said meaninglessly. "I'm afraid King Yu won't notice this power in the world. Did you come here today to return this golden swallow to me?"

"You..." Shu Zilan was anxious, but helpless, Zhao Jing knew him too well, and also knew King Yu, he was right, at this time, King Yu's power was in full swing, and he would not take the power of the world in his heart, he just thought it was a child's fight Playing games, but Shu Zilan understands that the accumulation of less makes more, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed by an ant's nest, waiting for Zhao Jing's power to be formed, it will inevitably endanger King Yu, but in this situation, only he sees Zhao Jing's danger.

Shu Zilan handed the Golden Swallow to Zhao Jing, and Zhao Jing took it, caressing it carefully, with undisguised sadness in his eyes, as if it was about to overflow.

"I'm leaving" Shu Zilan said.

"Rong Qing" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, there was too much sadness in his eyes, Shu Zilan sat beside Zhao Jing

"Forsythia is a good girl" Shu Zilan broke the silence for a long time.

"She is a girl with a hard life." Zhao Jing looked at Jin Yanzi, "Her parents sold her into a brothel for ten taels of silver in order to marry her brother. During the day, she was outstanding in appearance, and the old procuress deliberately cultivated her, which aroused the jealousy of the other girls in the building, and deliberately recommended her to a person with perverted hobbies. Don't go down, when she hanged herself, she was rescued by me, and she followed me into the Swallow Tower. The Swallow Tower is a place to buy and sell news, and the brothel is the place where news circulates fastest. When I went back to the brothel, I disagreed. She begged bitterly, but I had no choice but to set up Yihongyuan for her. I only hope that one day she will meet a lover who likes her. , I bought a dowry for her, and married her in a glorious manner, I never thought that I would not wait until that day," Zhao Jing said sadly.

Shu Zilan was moved when she heard this. Zhao Jing cared so much for the people around her. No wonder Lian Qiao was born in a brothel. She was used to seeing the harsh world and still fell in love with him desperately. It must be Zhao Jing's love for her that made her give birth to Thoughts that shouldn't be there are also evil fates, Shu Zilan sighed.

Zhao Jing fell asleep, and Shu Zilan came out quietly, exhaling the depression in her heart lightly.

He Minzhi came late, Zhao Jing met He Minzhi on the sickbed, and arranged for him to rebuild the Hongcheng dam. He Minzhi agreed, and since then he has lived on the dam, supervised the repair of the dam day and night, and guaranteed that there will be no more levee breaches in a hundred years. , Zhao Jing was relieved. As the injury gradually recovered, he and Shu Zilan returned to Rongyang, where they continued to preside over disaster relief matters, opened warehouses to release food, organized the garrison to rebuild the homes of the people, distributed relief food to the affected families, and issued documents at the same time, posting Duan Zhenli's various crimes were revealed around the city gates. Zhao Jing and Shu Zilan went to Meng Qinghe's home to express their condolences, comforted Meng Qinghe's family members, and reported to the court to reward the Meng family and allow Meng Qinghe's eldest son to hide his father's position. , Continue to serve as the county magistrate of Hongcheng.At this time, the imperial court ordered to exempt Rongyang from taxes for three years. The people in Rongyang cheered. I hope that the weather in Rongyang will be smooth and the population will be safe in the coming year.

For a moment, Rong Yang was boiling, and he changed his bad words to each other, and they all thanked Zhao Jing for what he had done.Two months passed, and the disaster relief work in Rongyang was basically over. Zhao Jing and Shu Zilan escorted Duan Zhenli's family members and some servants of Rongyang magistrate back to the capital. The special food was enthusiastically given to Zhao Jing and the accompanying soldiers. The crowd crowded the street like a sea tide, thanking Zhao Jing and his party, followed them out of Rongyang, and saw them off all the way. Even if they went far, there were still people far away Followed from afar, Shu Zilan's heart was surging. For many years, there has not been a common people sending off court officials in the Great Wei Dynasty. The people's hearts are simple, as long as you treat them well, they will naturally repay you with infinite sincerity. Shu Zilan turned her head and looked at herself Many fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables appeared on the well-groomed soldiers, which looked nondescript, but it made people feel warm.
