Syndicate Growth Manual

A group of people walked across the curved bridge, and the lake water was somehow made, and it didn't freeze under the cold weather.The wives kept their children in the middle, but there was always that naughty one who wanted to play in the water, and the voice of scolding in a low voice was endless.

"Brother..." Shen Kun bit his finger and stared at the boy in front of him who was whipping the water with a branch.

Zhao Yuan hurriedly dragged him to his side: "No, no, we don't play with water, and water ghosts like to catch children." Shen Kun opened his eyes wide and looked at him, then obediently remained silent.Mi Shi walked aside, seeing them laughing.

Chaoyang Pavilion is located on the north side of Yeting, with a platform paved with white marble underneath, and a five-story pavilion standing in the middle. Standing on Chaoyang Pavilion, you can overlook the platform.When they arrived, the platform was covered with flags and streamers with strange patterns on all sides, and there was a table in the north, with some fresh fruits and an incense burner on it.

Twelve palace servants and eunuchs stood outside the Chaoyang Pavilion and led them up the tower.From the family members of the courtiers of the first rank and the first rank to the fifth floor, from the family members of the courtiers of the second rank and above to the fourth floor, and the family members of the third rank and below are on the third floor.If Mrs. Fan enters the palace, then Zhao Yuan can stay with Mrs. Fan on the fifth floor, but now he can only stay on the third floor with Mrs. Mi.

When the others went upstairs, he saw the eldest aunt of the Fan family with Fan Cheng and Fan Xin. Fan Cheng smiled when he saw him, but Fan Xin gave him a hard look.Zhao Yuan thought silently, Fan Xin is probably because of his two older sisters.

He also doesn't want a daughter-in-law who is a few years older than himself.

There are quite a lot of people on the third floor, windows are opened on all sides of the pavilion, desks and cushions are placed along the windows, Xuan seats are set on the ground, and a plate of honey-soaked horseshoes is placed on each.Although there is only a large smoker in the middle of the first floor, and there is ventilation on all sides, it is not cold because of the large number of people.At this time, there was still more than an hour before the Nuo ceremony, and we had to wait for the king and courtiers to arrive, so many children began to run upstairs and downstairs, and some even went to the platform, because there were palace maids and eunuchs everywhere. There are also eunuchs guarding the stairs, so the wives are very relieved.

Mi Shi is meeting a close friend in her boudoir at this moment, and the two are chatting together. Zhao Yuan saw Fan Xin and the others distracted just now, and when he regained his attention, he found that Shen Kun's little devil had disappeared!He grabbed a child next to him and asked, "Did you see Shen Kun? The one who clapped and played with you just now?"

The child curled his lips, pointed downstairs and said, "He went to play on the platform with the child of the servant Qing's family!"

Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that Mrs. Mie was still chatting vigorously, he snorted, woman.

He decided to go downstairs to take a look and catch the little devil's head. When he got downstairs, there were indeed a group of children playing a game similar to the eagle catching chickens. He glanced at it, but he didn't see Shen Kun's little figure.

At this time, at the steps of the lower platform in the northeast corner, a maid was leading a child down. Zhao Yuan took a casual look and found that the child was Shen Kun!Before he had time to think, he looked around and saw an eunuch walking this way, so he ran over and anxiously said to the eunuch: "My lord, I just saw the son of the uncle's family in Shen Huashen County go away with a maidservant." , I'm afraid he'll get lost, can you come and have a look with me?"

"...Uncle Shen County? I'll go and have a look now," the eunuch asked with a flash of his eyes as he trotted in the direction Zhao Yuan was pointing at, "Who is this young gentleman?"

"My father is General Zhao Chen." Zhao Yuan followed behind him and said casually.He always felt that there was something wrong with that woman, and he was afraid that Shen Kun would be lost if he lost him, so he wouldn't bother to greet the eunuch.He went down the steps and looked around, and saw the skirt of the palace maid flashing behind a row of holly, and hurriedly pointed to holly and said, "Can you bother me to chase after you? I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if I slow down." .”

Without saying a word, the eunuch rolled up his sleeves, hugged him and ran away.

They followed the turn, and a narrow and straight palace road stretched to the moon cave gate in the distance.

"Hurry up! We can't see them!" Zhao Yuan shouted anxiously, straightening his neck and looking forward.

"I'm already very fast. Once you enter the moon cave gate, there will be many detours inside..." The eunuch panted and smiled bitterly, and then entered the gate. Inside is another garden, connected by winding corridors, rockery as a screen, and winding paths. After getting here, the shadow of the palace maid and Shen Kun could no longer be seen.

The ominous premonition in Zhao Yuan's heart came true.It seems that the palace maid has bad intentions, and people can't see it so quickly, so it can be seen that the palace maid must forcibly hug Shen Kun, he didn't hear the cry for help, maybe the little devil has been beaten unconscious?

"Does Zhao Xiaolang remember the appearance of that palace maid?" the eunuch asked while wiping his sweat.

Appearance... Zhao Yuan thought blankly, he only saw the back, as for the hairstyle and clothes, they all seemed to look the same, how to tell the difference?What's more, since he is a villain, he will definitely not be easily found out.

When he calmed down, he realized that the surroundings were very quiet. There were fallen leaves and snow in the garden here, and it seemed that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.He asked, "Where is this place?"

The eunuch looked at it and said: "I haven't been here yet, judging from the location, it should be close to Lingwu Palace. Lingwu Palace is the residence of Mrs. Lingguo, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

Zhao Yuan frowned, he didn't expect to be lost, and now he is in a dilemma.If you go back, it will be difficult to find Shen Kun's whereabouts, but there are several exits in this garden, keep looking, if you find the wrong direction, it will waste time.He didn't hesitate anymore, he looked at the eunuch and begged in a low voice: "Please take me back, if you meet other palace people on the road and tell them about it, ask people to look for it along these directions, I have to talk to Shen Xiaolang Mother said, there is no longer any delay!"

He stretched out his arms, but the eunuch laughed and said in a soft voice: "Now there is no one else here, why don't we look for it again?"

"...I said I want to go back." Only then did Zhao Yuan realize that something was wrong.Seeing that the expression on the eunuch's face changed instantly, and his eyes were obviously cold, he took a step back slowly.

A female voice came in from behind them: "Why are you hesitating, you caught the wrong person! Get it done quickly!"

He turned his head suddenly, and saw the court lady who had been chasing just now flashed out from the middle of the rockery, her delicate features were ordinary, and she belonged to the kind of looks that would be forgotten once she turned her head.

"Where's Shen Kun?!"

The maid in the palace glanced at him: "Mr. Xiao Lang has a kind heart, and it is thanks to your kindness that he fell into our hands again. Otherwise, if we catch the wrong person, we will be in bad luck... That Mr. Xiao Lang, the servant girl, was thrown on the rockery. Lila, just in a coma."

A five-year-old passed out outside in this weather would get sick, if not freeze to death.But Zhao Yuan couldn't help it, it was useless for him to be anxious, now he was the one who was going to be arrested, and he couldn't protect himself, it's good for Shen Kun to save his life.

"What are you going to do?" He asked calmly, slowly approaching the beauty on the edge of the winding corridor.

The palace servant and the eunuch looked at each other, then pursed their lips and smiled: "The servant is also using money to do things, and Mr. Xiao Lang is caught by the water ghost for his own fun. Please remember that there is a wrong and a debtor, so don't come to the servant." Two people..."

Zhao Yuan's heart felt cold and cold, and he was completely out of luck.These two people actually wanted his life!

He stared at them and threatened: "My father is going to court, if something happens to me, he will definitely get to the bottom of it, and none of you can escape! If something is really found out by then, helpless people like you You little palace man will only be pushed out as a scapegoat!"

The palace maid was obviously taken aback, she probably didn't expect a six-year-old child to say such words, and more importantly, these words touched her hidden worry.

There are not a few people in the palace who use money to do things, and she has seen people do dirtier jobs than this, and there are indeed very few who end well in the end.But, this time it's just a child, not to mention there are so many children today, who can notice one or two?

"Don't listen to his nonsense, hurry up, no one is coming near the Lingwu Palace, if you throw it into the Quling Pool, you won't be noticed!" The eunuch who smiled shyly spoke at this time, but his voice was very cold, "When this one is dealt with, it's best not to let the other one go, otherwise, if he says someone lured him, who will believe that this one drowned accidentally?"

Zhao Yuan immediately ran to the side. He knew he couldn't run, but he couldn't sit still.Sure enough, within two steps, he asked the eunuch to pick him up from behind.

"Let me go! You bastard, let me go!!" He struggled desperately, punched and kicked, stretched out his hand to scratch the eunuch's face and eyes, "Father will not let you go! If I die, I will die Haunting you day and night, telling you to die! Let me go—”

The eunuch asked Zhao Yuan to scratch the corner of his eye, couldn't help the pain, and slapped him backhand in anger: "Shut up, little bastard!"

Zhao Yuan has grown up so much in this life, and he hasn't been hit on the face by anyone yet, coupled with the fear of death, he couldn't help but crazily hugged the eunuch's arm with his backhand and bit his mouth, he had never used such a cruel force in his two lives Vigorous, biting with deadly force as if the canthus of his eyes were cracked—a lot of images flashed in his head in a mess, and finally he was frozen into his father's handsome face, giving him the courage to fight desperately desperately!

He couldn't just die quietly and inexplicably like this, and he couldn't let his father suffer like this!If his father saw his dead body, he would definitely go crazy!

He can't just never see his father again!

"Ah—— let go—" The eunuch felt that the flesh on his arm was about to be torn, and he threw Zhao Yuan out violently under severe pain, but it was already a bloody mess.

Zhao Yuan rolled around a few times and bumped into a mess, and his mouth was so painful that he was dying, but he still remembered that he wanted to escape, struggling to get up, and was about to run to the other side of the Moon Cave Gate, but was caught by the palace maid: "I Got him!"

"Throw him into Quling Pond quickly! I'll catch the other one!" the eunuch shouted, clutching his arms, and crawled into the rockery, whimpering in pain.Quling Pond is on the other side of the rockery. It is a small but deep pool. It has not been cleaned for many years, and it is full of water plants.

Zhao Yuan's mouth was covered with blood, his hands were as soft as noodles, and he tried to grab the maid's face.The woman always cared about her appearance. She saw Zhao Yuan's vicious look just now, and when she saw him reaching out, she subconsciously hid, and accidentally let go of her hand, and told Zhao Yuan to get away.

"I think you can escape!" She gritted her teeth and rushed forward.

Then he was kicked hard in the chest, and fell to the ground with a heart-warming kick!

"Ah!" She rolled on the ground and wailed, clutching her chest.

Zhao Yuan was picked up like a dying beast and put into a warm embrace.
