Your Majesty, please do not

The anger on Liang Huan's face disappeared instantly. He took the box, took a look inside, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want this for?"

"If you want this, of course...for your own use." Statement Zhi didn't know what was in it at all, so he made up nonsense.

Hearing this, Liang Huan suddenly threw the box aside, went to pull him up, then held his hand, rubbed his thumb against the back of his hand, lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry."

Statement Zhi was confused and stood there in a daze.

"I was supposed to take care of you, but why are you accommodating me... You should have refused to accept my things. How could I force you..."

Pulling his arm, Liang Huan couldn't hold back after all, summoned up the courage to pull him into his arms.You don't need to face him directly to say something.

"Xingli, I'm scared. I'm embarrassed to say I'm scared, but I can only say I'm angry." Liang Huan lay on his shoulder pitifully.

The body of the statement was very stiff, and he reluctantly said: "What do you have to be afraid of, what can I do if I don't want to, can I still drive you away?"

"You..." Liang Huan closed his eyes and relaxed the strength in his hand, "If you really don't want to see me, just tell me. It's not good for you to pester you like this, I might as well..."

"No." Chen Zhi broke free from his embrace and hid aside, "I don't want to see you."

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when Lin Weiyang pretended to leave in his own room in the Yongzhou Guild Hall, he was also stopped by himself.

Thinking of this, he quickly clarified: "If someone treats me well, anyone would be willing to do it instead."

Hearing this, Liang Huan smiled a little bit, the corners of his lips were smiling, but the corners of his eyes were drooping, as if he was about to cry.

Seeing his expression, the statement couldn't help but think, these days, he has been by his side peacefully, never did anything excessive, and will no longer be annoying.

In the past, I avoided him because I felt awkward. After a long time, I realized that Liang Huan was not putting on airs, and I was not awkward anymore.

As long as you pretend nothing happened before, you can still get along well.

The only hesitation is that knowing his intentions, I don't think it's good to accept his favor in vain...

Before he could figure it out, Liang Huan laughed and stuffed the box just now into his hand, "Here's it for you, you told me what you want to use, show me how to use it later."

Hearing his strange tone, he opened the box and looked inside.

This is a box of... rouge? !

The weather was cloudless and sunny, but the sky that should have been blue was gray, and the desert sand seemed to have been blown into the city.

The woman with bright eyes and bright teeth was wearing plain uniform with a gourd-shaped jade pendant on her chest, and she was researching new recipes in the attic.

The door of the attic was pushed open suddenly, Zhou Xiaochu turned his head to look, Zhou Fu stood at the door with a round belly, holding a small bottle in his hand.

"Girl, eat this." Zhou Fu handed over the bottle.

"What?" Zhou Xiaochu took the bottle and opened it, looking at the little black pill inside.

Zhou Fu chuckled and said, "After taking the poison for an hour, you will die cleanly."

A gust of wind passed by, Zhou Xiaochu shivered.

Zhou Fu showed a bitter face, "Girl, your father has no money, and he can't do business after the war. Your father needs to pay off his debts..."

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhou Xiaochu sneered.

"When you die, say that you were martyred for the statement, and then your father carries your coffin to Beijing, asks him for money, and asks the imperial court to honor you as a chaste and martyr..."

"Ask for money?" Zhou Xiaochu rolled his eyes, "He has been a Jinshi for less than a year, so where did he get the money?"

Zhou Fu poured out the pills in the bottle, handed them to her, and said, "You don't have to worry about it, you just need to take it."

"Exchange your own daughter's life for money, you can really do it." Zhou Xiaochu grabbed the pill and threw it out of the window.

"You... throw it away and I still have it!"

Zhou Xiaochu raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you come to a more cost-effective one? You are in charge of the prison in Yongzhou, so you can just find a corpse and put it in a coffin? Your daughter promises to change her name and surname and disappear. You spend, isn't it good?"

Hearing this, Zhou Fu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Not bad, not bad..."

Then, he stretched out his hand and ordered: "The jade pendant on the neck is a gift from the boy surnamed Hou, right? Give it to me."

Zhou Xiaochu covered the jade pendant and looked at him warily.

"If you don't give it to me, how can I let you go? After earning money, come and redeem it..."

As Zhou Fu said, he immediately grabbed the jade pendant around her neck.

The sky is about to darken, and Hou Qingxiao's house has already turned off the lights and went to sleep.

Hou Qingxiao is a Juren in Yongzhou.He started to take the exam more than ten years ago, and he took the exam several times every three years. Seeing that both the statement and Wang Qian won the first time, but he had no hope at all, he gradually became disheartened. stand up.

At this time, the Yongzhou government took a fancy to his status as a scholar, and seeing that he failed in repeated trials, they persuaded him to give up the scientific examination and switch to business.

Hou Qingxiao hesitated for a few days and agreed, but found that the so-called business was not really for him to do business, but for a store opened by the government in the capital under his name. He didn't have to do anything every day, just lie at home and wait for the dividends You can.

Although the dividend was not much, it was enough to support himself, so he went to spend his time at home with peace of mind.

Wearing a headscarf and coarse clothes, Zhou Xiaochu came to Hou's house and knocked on the door with a parcel in his hand.After knocking for a while and seeing no response, she started banging on the door again, until her hands turned red, and finally knocked Hou Qingxiao up.

As soon as the door opened, Hou Qingxiao was really surprised when she saw her, "Xiao Chu... why are you here?"

He heard about Zhou Xiaochu's divorce, and he didn't expect that the statement was so capable that he could deal with Zhou Zhoutong.

He knew that Chen Zhi did this for his own sake, but the current self was not qualified to ask Zhou Xiaochu to marry him.

Zhou Xiaochu lowered his voice: "I want to leave, leave Yongzhou, will you follow me?"

Hou Qingxiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly, "What are you talking about, where are you going, of course I will go with you..."

"I don't know where to go," Zhou Xiaochu lowered his eyes, "I just can't stay here any longer."

Hou Qingxiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Why don't you go to the capital with me and see my shop?"

Beijing?Zhou Fu is also going to the capital, if he goes too, won't we meet again?But... Zhou Xiaochu thought about it, and no one in the capital knew who she was, so they met when they met, and it was too late for her father to hide from her.

"Okay," Zhou Xiaochu nodded, and said quickly, "You pack your things tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."

Doctor Yushi Zhang Xintian looked at the two thin banknotes on the table, shook his head and sighed: "You said that you are a sixth-rank official anyway, why did you get so miserable, asking for money by blackmail? But I want to remind you You, the person you want to blackmail is not so active. I took over the troublemaker before, but when I got to the top, I was suppressed. In the end, he didn't have anything to do..."

Zhou Fu's face was full of flattering smiles, and he said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't touch him, just get the money."

"Your little money," Zhang Xintian tapped on the two bank notes on the table, "I'll find things for you, and I'll help you put them away if you want, but how you want the money is none of my business."

Zhou Fu agreed, and kept bowing and bowing down, expressing his gratitude.But in his heart, he scolded Zhang Xintian thousands of times. This silverfish who has an eye for money has spread his reputation for corruption to Yongzhou, and the court actually didn't care about it.

This morning, Prime Minister Lin Zhuhui told Liang Huan with a solemn expression that just the day before the delivery of the resettlement plan for the refugees in Yongzhou, the refugees from the two counties drove away the officers and soldiers, rushed into the county government office, and released all the people in the granary. food.

Upon learning of this, the neighboring government urgently sent troops to help, finally suppressed the rebellion, and began to implement the resettlement plan promulgated by the imperial court.It's just that in the process, both officers and soldiers and civilians were killed and injured, and food was scattered all over the street.

Hearing this news, Liang Huan felt a little guilty.If I had made a decisive decision that night instead of waiting until the next morning, wouldn't so many people die innocently?

In the afternoon, in the attic of Suyin Hall, he told Chen Zhi about this matter.Liang Huanzheng was going to confess in front of him, but he knelt down on the ground immediately after listening.

"Why are you kneeling again? Didn't you salute when you came up just now?" Liang Huan frowned.

After a long silence, Chen Zhi gradually lowered his head and said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, otherwise...forget it."

Liang Huan was taken aback by these words, and was suddenly confused.

"What's the matter?"

"Forget about the matter between you and the minister."

The arrogant chirping of cicadas entered the small room from the window, making a loud noise in people's eardrums.In early summer, the indoors are cooler than the outside, and for a moment it feels cold and gloomy.

"What do you mean?" Liang Huan couldn't help clenching his fists.

Chen Zhi felt his emotions, and he was also a little sad, and said with difficulty: "In the final analysis, this matter is all the fault of the minister. If this continues, you may not do anything because of the minister. I don't want to I don't want to be a hindrance to you being a wise monarch, and I don't want to be a sinner who will bring disaster to the country and the people."

"How can you say that!" Liang Huan became a little anxious, and supported his shoulders, "You didn't do anything, I insisted on finding you in the middle of the night that day, and if I said something was wrong, it was my fault, and What's the matter with you?"

Chen Zhi buried his head deeply, huddled into a ball, and his voice was full of guilt: "Your Majesty's fault, in the end, is the fault of the minister. It is the minister who seduces your majesty and lures you into a wrong path, so that you will lose your life. I should stay by your side again, and should not influence your decision, let alone disturb His Majesty's mind."

"You can't count it that way, you..." Liang Huan was about to argue with him, but he suddenly felt that he was so resolute in holding on to this matter, was it really just for this matter?

Perhaps, this is just another excuse for him to push himself away?

He said last time that he didn't want to see himself, why did he change his mind?

Is it because of uncovering the past and rekindling his hatred for himself?

"Xingli, look at me." Liang Huan raised his chin, stroked his cheek, and said sincerely, "You...do you still hate me, hate me like before?"

Saying this, my mouth is full of bitterness.
