Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

The news that King Yan was at Tingyun Pass had already spread throughout Yan.

The county guards and the upper and lower officials were all received obediently.It is said that on the day King Yan came back, the governor of the county went out of the city to greet him in person.

Even the Zhao family suffered a loss because of the above and below.The rest of the families, large and small, understood and did not dare to easily oppose King Yan.

Even the Zhai people who used to come to harass them in autumn and winter were silent this year.

Once August is over, the weather starts to be cold and cold from September.

The Zhao family was gloomy.

Housekeeper Zhao found the main courtyard alone, dismissed the maids and servants, and looked at the messy main house.

"Young lady."

Sheng sat with his forehead propped up, his eyes glazed over, without any response.

He yelled again, only then did Sheng come back to his senses, forced a smile: "Uncle Zhao."

There was a messy register on the table, butler Zhao flipped through it, "Sold a few more."

It's about the servants of the government.Sheng Shi gave a bleak smile and remained silent.

Butler Zhao said in a low voice, "I told you a long time ago, don't touch the surname Xie. It's good now, instead of solving him, it dragged us into trouble..."

As soon as these words came out, Sheng immediately slapped the table, stood up and scolded in a shrill voice: "You think I want to do something? Am I not for the Zhao family?!"

Butler Zhao seemed to be watching a madman, and when Sheng finished yelling, he added in a calm manner: "You are going back to the capital, right?"

Sheng's voice was like a kite with a broken string, fluttering and falling, and cut off in an instant.

Butler Zhao sneered: "Don't think that I don't know what you think. Your reputation has already been spread all over the world, why are you pretending?"

Sheng was trembling with anger.

Recently, the Zhao family has been worsening day by day, and the prestige of her young wife is far less than before.Now Butler Zhao dared to confront her face to face.

Her trembling fingers touched the pen and ink unconsciously, butler Zhao had sharp eyes and warned her with a sneer: "If you dare to tell the Sheng family about the one at Tingyunguan, don't blame me for being merciless."

After he finished speaking, he left, and the door slammed loudly.

It was a long time after Butler Zhao left that Sheng finally exhausted all his strength, and fell back down like a puddle of mud.

She didn't expect Xie Gui to be so difficult.

He obviously bribed Boss Ma and brought Xie Gui to the Zhai people to deal with.As a result, Boss Ma died, and even the Zhao family fell into disarray, but Xie Gui returned to Yandi intact.

Xie Gui is so smart, Sheng knows that he can touch his head with just a few clues.

King Yan has been staying for half a year, and the rest of the small families are treated as usual, only the Zhao family has been suppressed recently, and even the most basic medicine business can't turn around.

The Zhao family was in such distress that they sold antiques and dismissed their servants.The mansion was deserted and silent.

All gone, nothing left.

Sheng's sluggish eyes slowly turned, looking at the eldest young master Zhao, Zhao Pinjun, who was laughing on the bed.

The idiot young master smirked at the pillow, lifting the pillow from time to time, as if he was looking for something.

A child who is completely ignorant of the world.

Sheng Shi only glanced at it, and the evil fire rushed up.

The affairs of the Zhao family are imminent.This idiot is still laughing!

Like a furious lioness, Sheng rushed forward.

The idiot young master laughed and was thrown down by her, and Sheng Shi threw himself on him, scratching and biting him, venting his anger fiercely with only a moment of anger.

She never treated Zhao Pinjun harshly.This man is her husband in name, her life in the Zhao family and her hope of returning to the capital depend on Zhao Pinjun's life.

But she was really, really angry and embarrassed.

After a while, Mrs. Sheng finished venting, and got up from Zhao Pinjun with disheveled hair and sideburns, but was dragged back unexpectedly.

"What crazy!"

Sheng slapped her across the face angrily, but her hand was grabbed suddenly, and she was dragged onto the bed violently.

Sheng's scream suddenly sounded in the main house, and his voice was suddenly muffled, followed by the man's laughter and panting.

The maids outside were startled and looked at each other, not daring to go in and look.

The sound of tossing in the room was intermittent. They hesitated, pushing each other, and none of them dared to come forward.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go to work?"

Suddenly, harsh reprimands sounded from behind the maids.A little maid timidly said: "Sister Xue, there are... strange movements in the main house..."

Sister Xue was taken aback, and listened suspiciously for a while, her expression gradually became ambiguous.

"What are you thinking? No matter how stupid the young master is, he is still a man."

This is very reserved.The older maids recovered first and blushed.Not long after, the maids urged each other to leave.

It was finally quiet outside.

Sheng's hair was loose, and was firmly pressed down by Zhao Pinjun, his mouth was also covered with clothes, his eyes were terrified, and he couldn't make a sound.

Zhao Pinjun laughed for a while, leaned on her body, and cried out in a lingering voice: "Good daughter-in-law—"

Sheng Shi became more and more frightened, the whites of his eyes were about to roll out.Zhao Pinjun laughed loudly, tearing her clothes fiercely, and after a while, the floor was covered with rags, making it a mess.

The fool's big palm gently stroked her face.

Zhao Pinjun smiled, his eyes gradually became cruel.

The big palm slowly slid down and touched her neck.

-

Since September, Yandi has become much cooler, and in the middle of the month, there have been several light snowfalls in succession.

Xie Gui stayed here for half a year, and was almost used to the phenology of Yandi, but the weather was too cold, and he was too thin to bear it.Therefore, when going out, Feng Zhang specifically told Xin Chen to bring him an extra cloak.

Since returning to Yan Wang's mansion, Feng Zhang promoted Xin Chen from among the dead soldiers, and temporarily served as Xie Gui's personal attendant.

King Yan's Mansion is not far from Zhao's house, so Xie Gui took Xin Chen and walked there.

There is still snow on the road from last night, and every foot is cold.When the cold wind blew, Xin Chen saw him shaking, so he couldn't help but put a cloak on him.

Xin Chen also complained casually: "If the son is sick, the commander will definitely punish the younger one after returning to the mansion, and the master will not be able to pass the test."

Xie Gui smiled, breathed on the palm of his hand, and looked at the gate of the Zhao family.

The pale lanterns on the gate trembled with the wind, and the servants in plain onyx were very busy leading the guests into the mansion.

The young wife of the Zhao family died suddenly, and together with the sudden improvement of the young master Zhao, he took over the business of the Zhao family.

It happened so suddenly that the whole Youji City didn't recover.

It is said that the families that had business dealings with the Zhao family were so surprised when they received the post signed by Zhao Pinjun that they sent someone to ask.

There were people coming and going in front of the door, and the boys were sweating.Xin Chen couldn't help saying a few more words: "Why does the servant of the Zhao family look very happy?"

Xie Gui said indifferently: "The mistress who has the means is dead, and the young master who doesn't understand anything is replaced as the master. The people below can take advantage of the loopholes, so they are naturally happy."

Xin Chen suddenly realized and scratched his head.

Xin Chen handed over the post, and the young servant saw that Mr. Xie from the Palace of Yan Wang had come, so he introduced him with extra enthusiasm, and even got two points more tea than others.

Sheng's coffin was parked in the main hall, Zhao Pinjun looked mournful, supported the coffin with one hand, pulled his sleeves with the other, and wiped away his tears.

Xie Gui frowned slightly, stepped forward according to the ceremony, offered incense, and cleaned his hands.

The guests all entered the door with doubts, said a few words with Zhao Pinjun, and then went out with different expressions.

Xie Gui smiled inexplicably.

People who have been stupid for more than 20 years suddenly wake up and can clearly recognize everyone.

This is so weird.

Xin Chen still couldn't help it: "Who did the commander find to teach him..."

Xie Gui raised his hand to knock him, and walked forward slowly.

He and Zhao Pinjun, as if they had never seen each other before, exchanged polite words in a distant manner.

Zhao Pinjun said implicitly: "Young Master Xie, I seem to have seen you somewhere?"

It was about the distribution of medicinal materials before.Xie Gui also smiled: "Maybe. Whether we meet or not, it's all fate, you can't force it."

Zhao Pinjun just smiled and said nothing.

The two said a few more words, and Xie Gui left directly.When passing by the coffin, he paused, and then walked out quickly.

Xin Chen wondered why he suddenly quickened his pace, and hurried to catch up: "Sir, slow down, be careful of slippery ground."

The wind was blowing against the two of them, and Xin Chen paused, rubbing his nose in doubt: "It's strange, why does it have a strange smell?"

Xie Gui didn't turn his head back: "Think again, what does it smell like?"

Xin Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, his expression slowly changed.Xie Gui's expression was indifferent, he didn't want to expose him, he just walked to the corner and looked back, only a corner of the white lantern could be seen.

It was the smell of rotting corpses.

Xie Gui walked slowly: "With this weight, the Sheng family should have been dead for a long time."

This smell lingered in the dungeon for a long time, Xie Gui remembered it very clearly, he didn't expect that the moment he turned around, the pungent and familiar smell entered his nose, which made him stunned for a moment.

The Sheng family died strangely, and the young master also recovered strangely.

There are rumors in the market that the Sheng family married here to make a happy event, but the happy event was not aimed at that year, and it took so long to take effect.

Some people also said that the young master suddenly got better when he was doing that thing with the Sheng family, which was equivalent to exchanging the young master's sobriety with Sheng's life.

It's just a pity for her status as a concubine of aristocratic family and her coveted appearance.

Xie Gui sighed quietly.

Two days ago, Zhao Pinjun secretly came to the door, saying that he accidentally strangled Mrs. Sheng to death.Xie Gui didn't come to the door that day, but only heard from Gui Yi that Sheng's death was miserable, and he was severely tortured before his death.

Zhao Pinjun is not so easy to handle.To use him to do things is not as safe as expected.

Xin Chen saw that he was preoccupied and could not disturb him, so he silently followed him back to Prince Yan's mansion.

Xie Gui in Youji City is already very familiar, and he can find Yanwang Mansion even with his eyes closed.However, he was too preoccupied right now, if Xin Chen hadn't reminded him, he would have walked two streets.

After entering the palace, Xie Gui went to Feng Zhang's study first as usual, but saw Feng Zhang was holding a list, and he read it very carefully.

Seeing Xie Gui come back, Feng Zhang raised his eyebrows, looking in a very good mood.

"Let's take a look. You can choose what you want."
