I was transformed in ancient aristocratic waste

The Yan Garden of the Third Prince has been full of guests recently, even if it is rainy, they have opened an opera garden and invited the famous Danjiao from Yangzhou to sing operas. In the rain, the third prince Cao Zhuo beat the time, shook his head, and said to Mr. Song, the prefect of Yangzhou, who was with him, "Mr. Song, how do you listen?"

Master Song, of course, opened his mouth to flatter, and smiled and blew rainbow fart: "Naturally it is excellent. I never thought that His Highness the Third Highness knows how to play at such a young age."

Cao Zhuowen smiled, thinking of the troupe that often came to the palace, his eyes lightened slightly, but no one could see that he was in a bad mood, and he still replied with a big smile: " I have only listened to it a few times with my father, my father likes to watch operas, he said that a good play can make people feel immersive, I have never been there before, but I have some insights."

"It turns out that His Majesty also loves to play."

Song Zhifu still wanted to say some more auspicious words, so he slapped His Majesty's thigh in a swipe, but he didn't want to say that before the words came out of his throat, a eunuch came to speak respectfully, and whispered: "Third Highness, Mr. Song outside His son asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report."

"Oh? Please." After the third prince Cao Zhuo finished speaking, he looked at Mr. Song, "Could it be possible that Mr. Song is here to find Mr. Song?"

Song Zhifu smiled apologetically, but he didn't know, he just shook his head, but his heart beat suddenly, as if something was about to happen, something bad.

After waiting for a while, Cao Zhuo saw the well-dressed Mr. Song coming in, and behind him was a stinking prisoner. The prisoner was young, skinny, and filthy. The magistrate jumped up first, and scolded angrily: "Zhuzi! What are you doing? Why are you bringing everyone in for His Highness to see? His Highness's eyes are dirty! Throw it out for me! Get out of here too!"

Song Dongxi was taken aback for a moment, a little afraid of his father, but he also remembered that he had agreed to Gu Zhu, swallowed his saliva, and said bravely, "No, I have something important to report to the third prince. Who threw the bones in Gu's well, the prisoner, I found it!"

"Oh?" The third prince glanced at Song Zhifu, "Didn't the prisoner be found long ago? It is Gu Qiaoran, the son of the fourth master of the General's Mansion."

Song Zhifu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's right, I found it a long time ago, why are you here to join in the fun? Go back quickly, don't make trouble."

Song Dongxi didn't understand the situation earlier, he only heard that there was a murder case in the general's mansion, and he got it out of his ears after hearing it, and he didn't pay attention to it. Now he followed Gu Zhu and others to understand the whole process, and there is something in his bones Unbearable justice told him to resist the pressure from his father, pointing to Liu Ling who was kneeling beside him, and said, "No! You all made a mistake, it was clearly murdered by him, how could it be Brother Qiao? Gu Zhu personally brought I went to the prison and found this prisoner. The prisoner also admitted that he asked his father to release Brother Qiao’s daughter-in-law. She is a woman who is still pregnant for three months. How can she stand up to such torture? ?”

Song Zhifu slapped the table: "Presumptuous! Is there a place for you to talk here?" After finishing speaking, he quickly turned around and pleaded with the third prince, his tone was really sincere, "Please don't believe this child's nonsense, Your Highness, I have no way to teach him , Let him be no big or small, let him speak wild words here, I will take him back right away..."

"No, Mr. Song, why should you be so panicked? Mr. Song can come to me and tell me these things to protect the face of the court. If there is a mistake in the case, of course it must be thoroughly investigated, but Mr. Song might as well tell me before the thorough investigation. You said just now that you and Gu Zhu found this prisoner together?"

The fan in Cao Zhuo's hand stopped beating, his eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Where is he now?"

"This..." Mr. Song shut up instantly.

"Hurry up!" Master Song knew that the purpose of the third prince's visit this time was probably to bring the little duke back to Chang'an. The general's resignation should be because he was afraid that the little duke would treat them badly if he was not in his hands. Gu Jinchen has a relationship with the Huainan Jiedushi. Although it is a bit unpredictable, he should also be afraid that the royal family will attack him, so he will hold on to the little prince desperately.

According to what the master said, the eldest princess should not have any feelings for the young master who has been raised in Yangzhou all year round, but he is the son of the royal family, so it is definitely not acceptable to be threatened by others.

Song Zhifu, who thought he had seen through the royal intentions, really wished that His Highness the Third Highness would get rid of the young master as soon as possible. If the young master is in one day, the general's mansion will probably make a lot of troubles. Now there are many dignitaries in Yangzhou. The aristocratic family had a bad relationship with the General's Mansion, and he also drew a clear line with the General's Mansion, but after all, he was from the General's Mansion before, and he separated his relationship without a decent reason. How can he associate with other wealthy families in the future?

The prefect of Song pondered a lot, and really wished that the emperor would order the arrest of Gu Jinchen, who was randomly mobilizing soldiers in the Jiedu Envoy's camp, and it would be best to dispatch the entire Gu family, so that he could leave the Gu family in a fair manner.

Mr. Song was obviously not on the same channel as his father, he couldn't read his father's face, and he was thinking of laying an ambush for Gu Zhu, so he kept his mouth shut about Cao Zhuo's problem, and just said: "When did the third highness release the bridge?" Second Brother’s daughter-in-law? Although she’s just a concubine, she’s pregnant with Second Brother Qiao’s first child, so what if something goes wrong?”

"Your Highness asked you to tell me where the young master is now!" Song Zhifu really wished he could go on stage and break his son's mouth to let him say.

Young Master Song shook his head, with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude: "How can this be possible? Gu Zhu said that he was playing on Zhuangzi, and he heard that his third cousin was not happy with his family and dared not see His Highness. How can I say that? "

When the third prince Cao Zhuo heard this, his mind became active, he pondered for a moment, combined with what he heard from a big girl named Xiaoman at his aunt's side, it is certain that the son-in-law must have not told his cousin the real situation .

My cousin has always been innocent, and was raised innocent by the son-in-law. I'm afraid he still really thinks that his own father and the princess are in love.

Cao Zhuo sighed softly, and gave the highest degree of understanding to the fact that his innocent cousin dared not come to see him. With a gentle smile, he smoothed things over between the father and son of the Song family, and said to Mr. Song: "Hey, I'm his cousin, how can anyone dare not see him? I really love him so much that he is in no hurry. He is afraid of what I will do? "

"Mr. Song, you don't have to worry about him. Just tell me where he is. Why don't we go see him together? At least let His Highness visit my cousin? How long have I been in Yangzhou? I can’t even see a single hair of my brother, so it’s really unreasonable, right?” Cao Zhuo said while saying, “By the way, did the son-in-law know about my cousin’s return to the city?”

Mr. Song shook his head honestly, and said, "I don't know. Gu Zhu said he came back secretly, but he didn't want the son-in-law to know, or the son-in-law would be unhappy."

"Okay, okay, like this, Mr. Song, you just need to take your highness to have a few words with my cousin, and my cousin will never blame you. Believe me, really, I still have the eldest princess here to give to my cousin." The letter paper has been here for a long time, and it is raining continuously in Yangzhou, if I put it down again, I am afraid that the paper will get moldy, or it will sprout, and my cousin will blame you."

It's easy to say, whether Song Dongxi was depressed after being kicked by his father or led the way.

The third prince, Cao Zhuo, was so excited that before leaving the mansion, he had to change into a more low-key and luxurious robe, take a long look at himself in the mirror, and finally went out slowly.

Before leaving, Song Dongxi also asked the third prince how to deal with the real prisoner, and when the second brother Qiao and his daughter-in-law who were locked up will be released. The third prince has learned to be smart this time, so he just said that there is no hurry, let the criminal named Liu Ling He is still being imprisoned in the Yangzhou Prison. When will he be able to abduct his cousin, and when will he make things right.

Cao Zhuo didn't let go, and when he was downstairs in the noisy teahouse, he heard that his cousin was upstairs, so he didn't care about Mr. Song who followed him. Several young eunuchs and bodyguards went upstairs to the private room.

There was Xiao Er leading the way, and when he said he was looking for the young master, he didn't dare to talk too much, so he hurriedly led him to the second floor, but turned around a few times, but he hesitated to speak, thinking why all the young ladies on the flower boat next door came to find Xiao Hou Father?Now there's another one dressed up in fancy clothes, is the young master enlightened?

The fancy-dressed Third Highness didn't know anything about it. When he stood outside the door, he cleared his voice deliberately, waved to Gao Luhai, and asked everyone to drive away the other guests in the teahouse, and booked the teahouse for himself. , and winked at Gao Luhai, and told Gao Luhai to get the carriage ready, and if he communicated properly with his cousin, he would be able to set off for Chang'an immediately.

If the communication is not good, it can be regarded as kidnapping, and it can also be kidnapped. The key is to be quick and not be discovered by the son-in-law.

But speaking of it, the third prince is not afraid of being discovered by the son-in-law now, doesn't it mean that the son-in-law loves his cousin very much?With my cousin in my hand, how dare the son-in-law do anything wrong?

The Third Highness, who feels that he has succeeded, can almost see his smooth path to supremacy, and hear the sound of people worshiping...

He pushed open the door, wanting to make his cousin fall in love with him at first sight. He put on the airs of a prince, his eyes were full of tenderness, but after the door squeaked open, he froze at the door.

I saw that there is an elegant seat in a teahouse inside the door, which is comparable to a brothel!

In the house, all the young and old men are dressed in red and green, the young ones are in their twenties and the older ones are in their twenties. The pretty little boy who roasted the duck was next to him.

The young man was dressed in light yellow clothes, with a golden crown like a golden mountain on his head. His pearls trembled. He had bright eyes, white teeth, and autumn water as his pupils. His complexion was snow-white, and his lips were as red as cherry blossoms. The young lady danced while lying on a man's body, moaning and having his temple pinched.

The smell of makeup and powder all over the room is unbearably vulgar!

As soon as Cao Zhuo came in, he knew that he had lost, and when he saw Bai Wang, he thought that his cousin liked that kind of cold and indifferent person. Who would have thought that his cousin had such a strong taste, but he could also talk at the throat. How could this be possible? OK? !

Cao Zhuo's plan to make his cousin give him whatever he wanted fell through for the time being, so he decided to make a good impression first, then walked in and said with a smile, "Cousin?"

Gu Zhu, a young master who didn't learn well at a young age and was drunk in the flowers, got up from Xie Chongfeng's lap and stepped forward to greet him more excitedly than Cao Zhuo, with a pretty and pleasant voice: "Cousin? Are you my third cousin? Ah, third cousin please sit down quickly, I, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't order some beautiful ones for you to accompany you."

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhu ordered several pretty young men and said, "You guys, go and stay with my cousin. If you make him unhappy, I won't give you money."

Cao Zhuo didn't have time to refuse, so he was surrounded by vulgar fans, and the smell of the inferior powder made Cao Zhuo sneezed five times in a row. He couldn't take it anymore, so he pulled his face down and said seriously: "Okay, okay. Now, all of you are going out! My Highness wants to talk to the young duke, you irrelevant ones, get out!"

When the third prince said who he was, he lost his temper again, and no one dared not listen.

How dare ordinary people dare to fight against princes and nobles?They didn't listen to Gu Zhu's persuasion, and ran away without even intending to ask for money.

Gu Zhu looked disappointed, sighed, blinked her big eyes like black grapes and said to the third cousin: "What is this cousin doing? Originally, those brothers came together with great difficulty. I will pack it once." Their clothes cost ten taels of silver, which is very precious, and now our family has no money, so I haven’t seen them for a long time.”

The third prince was quite unhappy, but he didn't want to show it. After finally suppressing his dislike for the useless brain under the stunning face of this cousin, he said softly and with a smile: "When you go to Chang'an in the future, what do you want?" Are there any beauties? My cousin will invite you to meet the beauties in Chang'an, they are much more beautiful than the ones you saw here, that's all right, don't be a pity, my cousin still has something to ask you."

Gu Zhu nodded immediately, with a silly and sweet look of being wooed by the third prince: "Okay, then I will make a deal with my cousin, but my cousin came to me today, I know why, you must Is it the wife who let my second elder brother Qiao go? That’s right. Before my second elder brother left, he specifically explained that he wanted me to treat that girl Lu Rong well, so when I heard that you and my family seemed to have had a misunderstanding, I would hurry up. Hurry up and come back, for fear that something will happen to my little sister-in-law."

"I heard that my cousin still has some misunderstandings with my father. Since it is a misunderstanding, don't worry about it. Cousin, you are my cousin. My mother, you are the first one to come to see me. The relationship must be different. , if I go to Chang'an in the future, I will definitely be the first to see you."

"Oh, by the way, does my mother have a letter for me? I didn't have time back then, so I asked Yu Chiyuan to get it for me. Who would have thought that I haven't seen it yet, cousin, where is my mother's letter?"

Cao Zhuo always felt that his cousin was too talkative, and before he could utter a single word, his cousin babbled a lot, and he had to run away.

As Cao Zhuo took out the letterhead from his sleeve, he suddenly looked up at the masked young man beside Cousin Zhuzhu, and couldn't help saying, "Why didn't my cousin ask this boy to go out too? We brothers talk, and others What happened after hearing it?"

Gu Zhu glanced back at Xie Chongfeng, said 'oh', patted Xie Chongfeng's arm, and said: "This is a fool, he has a tight foot, what's the matter with my cousin, just talk about it, don't worry about him, his brain is broken I can't understand it at all."

Cao Zhuo didn't believe it, he could tell at a glance that the young man wearing a mask didn't look like a fool, and he didn't look like a fool. He was trying to find an excuse to blow Tie Zhu away, so that he could carry out the abducting of his cousin and other things later, but in the end Immediately afterwards, I heard my cousin who had no taste say:

"But it's good to let him go out. The third cousin also asks Eunuch Gao to go out. We two brothers have a good talk."

Cao Zhuo lowered his eyes to think for a while, nodded, and continued to wink at Gao Luhai. He pinched the lid of the tea cup and buckled it, signaling to throw the cup as a sign. Once he couldn't persuade his cousin, he threw the cup. Just rushed in and took my cousin away.

Of course, this was done only as a last resort. Cao Zhuo really didn't want to give up something as good as his cousin.

Others don't know, but he does know that the Eldest Princess loves her cousin as a sweetheart, otherwise how could she tolerate the son-in-law so far?Isn't it all for my cousin's face?

When there were only the two of them left in the whole room, Gu Zhu seemed to be able to take a closer look at the cousin in front of him now.

He looks like a human being, but who knows, he is actually not a human being.

"Cousin, do you believe it?" Gu Zhu asked her cousin if she wanted to believe it, and Bai Nennen cupped her hands out.

But the cousin who was sitting opposite him didn't know whether it was a lack of a string in his head or he was too confident, so he pinched the envelope in the palm of his hand, first put it in his hand, then took it away as if teasing him, and smiled softly after three times , sat down next to him, and said in a greasy tone, "Cousin seems to be very anxious, come on, cousin will bring it to you in person."

Gu Zhu: Thank you so much, hehe.

Gu Zhu was not busy reading the letter, and put it in his arms like a baby, then made a curious look, and asked: "Cousin, where is the murderer I asked Mr. Song to send you? How to deal with it? And my second brother Qiao Where is your daughter-in-law? Have you let her go?"

The third cousin answered irrelevantly: "This is not important."

"Then what's important?" Gu Zhu moved a little away from Third Cousin, and he didn't understand. He even called so many demon-like young men over, and told Third Cousin clearly that he didn't like him. That one, why do you always want to hold your hand?

"Of course you are more important." The third cousin supported his head with the fan in his hand, and looked at him from the side.

Goosebumps all over Gu Zhu's body, pretending not to understand: "Oh? Why?"

"Because my aunt misses you very much, and wants you to go back to live in Chang'an. This Yangzhou is not good after all. The son-in-law can't protect you. When you arrive in Chang'an, it will be at the foot of the emperor. People don't close their doors at night. One can imagine how safe it is, and it is even worse than Yangzhou." It's more than ten times more lively, what you like, what you have seen, what you haven't seen, and only Chang'an has it."

"Zhuzhu, my cousin said something you don't like to hear. The son-in-law has not treated you as well as you thought these years. You said you missed your aunt so much, but he didn't say that he would take you back to have a look. It's true. How are you? Moreover, not only are you not allowed to receive letters over and over again, but you are also sent to Zhuangzi to prevent me from seeing you. If you say you are too young, you are reluctant to bear you, and if you say you are too big, you are despising Tianwei! You don’t want your father to end up in jail because of you, do you?”

"Zhuzhu, you also went to see the big prison. You know who is squatting in that big prison. Those people can't be regarded as human beings anymore. Do you want your father to become like them?"

Listening to these words, Gu Zhu found that the third cousin was worthy of being a prince, and he also knew some tricks when speaking to persuade others, such as first getting close, and then earnestly persuading him positively. He is good.

If he was a serious kid, wouldn't he be bluffed now?

It's a pity that when Gu Zhu heard that the third cousin didn't answer her question directly, and obviously didn't let go of the attitude of the second brother Qiao's daughter-in-law, she knew that she and the third cousin really didn't have a common language, and there was no need for him to pretend to be stupid : "Third Cousin, I know what you said, but I still don't want to leave, I want to stay, at least I don't want to leave now, wait... When Daddy wants to go back to Chang'an, I will go back, I don't want to be separated from Daddy. "

"Zhuzhu, are you stupid?" The third prince continued quietly, "To tell you the truth, your mother is going to divorce your good father soon, if you follow your father, you are just a little boy in the general's mansion." Son of Xiao Wufang, if one day your father is arrested and beheaded for being an automatic soldier, you will be beheaded too!"

"But if you return to Chang'an with me and draw a clear line with your father from then on, then you are the child of the grand princess Daxing, the emperor's nephew, and the noble young master, do you understand?"

Gu Zhu shook his head, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "You don't need to say more about cousin, I understand what you mean, but I don't believe it, you don't need to bluff me, I know who I am, and I don't need to use those things to tempt me. If I will abandon my father for the sake of glory and wealth, then I will not be called Gu Zhu!"

The third prince was silent, and felt that the cousin beside him was a guy who could pretend to be the same as the son-in-law. He couldn't persuade him, so he threw his glass and said: "Then don't blame cousin, you have to go!"

"Oh? Really?" Gu Zhu glanced at the shards of teacups thrown by his cousin on the ground, tilted his head, and said, "Why do we have to go?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, blushing with blushing, full of anger, his pupils twitched, and glanced at the door, wondering why Gao Luhai didn't rush in with someone.

Gu Zhu patted his little hands kindly, and the door was pushed open from the outside.

I saw a bunch of fallen young eunuchs and guards on the corridor outside, all of them lying together in disorder, the only one standing was a masked man with a dagger at his waist.
