Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

Although Chu Hong was only nineteen as the First Prince, the Emperor Chu was not young. At the age of 45, none of the concubines in front of him came out. It was not until Chu Hong was born at 26 that there were Chu An, Chu Yu, and several princesses.This is really in line with the words of the holy monk Wuchen, Chu Hong is really the blessing of the Chu Emperor.

In recent years, Emperor Chu's health has been weakened a lot. He always has constant soup and medicine, and his mental state is getting worse. The queen serves day and night, just like the image of a virtuous mother of a country.

In November, Albizia julibrissin is combined with Jubilee fruit, and the branches are covered with green and astringent fruits.Chu Hong closed her eyes and slumped in front of the window, tapping her slender fingers rhythmically.Wu Yun came in from the outside with a proud look on his face.Chu Hong's fingers stopped the moment he stepped in.

Wu Yun walked in front of the couch: "Sure enough, as His Royal Highness expected, the Empress and the Crown Princess are in perfect harmony!"

The corners of Chu Hong's mouth curled up, and he opened his eyes.It's normal for the empress and the princess to disagree, but not to mention their rivalry for the emperor's favor, it's even more impossible for the general protecting the country and the general Zhenyuan to be brothers.

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and there must be battles."

Wu Yun's mind flashed, and he said: "Your Highness suggested that the Crown Princess's ceremonial staff should be headed by three horses, that is..." He looked at Chu Hong with bright eyes, like a child waiting for praise.Chu Hong was indeed amused by him, her smiling eyes melted into coldness, but she didn't answer him directly.

"Did you find the medicine you checked a while ago?"

Wu Yun was a little stunned. When he realized it, there was only a cold smile in his eyes, and he almost thought he was wrong: "The slave has indeed been found. I wonder if His Highness's reward is still counted?"

"nature."

"The so-called love obsession is a secret medicine of the palace. It is mostly used in the affairs of men and women. It can make the drinker have the illusion of having sex when dripping in the soup. It is a technique in the house. Its main ingredient is a flower called edelweiss .”

Chu Hong looked up at Wu Yun and said for a while, "Yun'er really worked hard. I think the Imperial Hospital has been a long time coming. Can you see the flowers? I remember that the Imperial Hospital picked some more a few days ago."

Wu Yun nodded, with a mischievous smile on his face: "Your Highness guessed it, and this slave asked the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital a lot. When I went to the Royal Hospital, they happened to be drying velvet."

Chu Hong looked at Wu Yun for a moment, then looked out the window and said, "Very good, I wonder what reward Yun'er wants?"

Wu Yun thought about it seriously, and said: "I can't find what I want for a while, can I wait until I think of His Highness before rewarding me?"

"Ah."

Wu Yun followed his gaze, and outside the window was the green silk tree trembling slightly in the wind.

Five days later, the prince went out of the palace in micro-clothes, and Wu Yun stayed in the palace.

Four days ago, she was in the uterus.

Wu Yun: "Your Highness, let the servant follow. The others are afraid that they will not be well served, and the servant also wants to go outside the palace to have a look."

Chu Hong: "Of course I can't do without Yun'er, how would I spend the night without Yun'er?"

Wu Yun blushed, and Chu Hong said again: "It's just that there are more important things in the palace to be handed over to Yun'er, how can I rest assured of others."

Wu Yun: "What does Your Highness want your servant to do?"

Chu Hong: "When I leave the palace this time, the empress and the princess must make some moves. When two tigers fight, there must be some wounds."

Wu Yun was a little hesitant, and said: "Since His Highness said that the slave will do it well."

Chu Hong looked at him and nodded.I really look forward to which side you will hurt, Wu Yun!

A carriage, very ordinary outside.

Inside the carriage, the man in black clothes was leaning on the cushion to sleep lazily, with profound facial features, sword eyebrows and star eyes, natural domineering, and the bright red birthmark on his forehead was extremely coquettish.The man on the side has thick black eyebrows, piercing eyes, tightly pursed mouth, and a sense of righteousness in his whole body.

"Has everything been arranged in the palace?"

Fangzheng looked at Chu Hong, eyes still closed. "Return, Dian, the young master has made arrangements." He was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual about him, he was so clumsy that he couldn't even call him a proper name.

Chu Hong opened her eyes, ignoring Fangzheng's face of self-blame, and asked outside, "What's in front?"

The people outside said: "Young Master, there is a forest in front of you. After passing through the forest, you will soon reach Changzhou."

Chu Hong raised the corners of her mouth, "I've dealt with them in the front, I must be tired after following them for three days."

The carriage stopped when it entered the woods, and within a short while, five men in black surrounded them.They aimed straight at the carriage, and Fang Zheng and Wu Mu, who was driving the carriage, flew out to fight.With the flash of swords and swords, five corpses lay on the ground within a moment.

Fangzheng returned to the carriage, and the carriage continued to move forward, as if nothing had happened.

'"Kung Fu has not regressed, very good."

"Brothers practice hard day and night and dare not neglect."

Changzhou, the place with the most peach blossoms, is rich in peach blossom wine, known as the national wine.

The three of them arrived in Changzhou at mid-moon, the gate of the city was closed, and there was no inn outside the city, only one family, candlelight like fireflies in the dark night, lonely.

"I remember there used to be dozens of families there." Fangzheng was in a daze.

Chu Hong followed Fangzheng's gaze, "Temporarily stay overnight tonight, and enter the city tomorrow."

As he spoke, Wu Mu put on a black forehead belt, and Chu Hong tied it on, just to cover the birthmark between his foreheads.Fangzheng stepped forward to knock on the door, and the door was quickly opened. To be able to hear the sound and open the door so quickly in the middle of the night, he must have never fallen asleep.

It was an old man who opened the door. He was obviously very surprised and a little wary when he saw three handsome strange men in the middle of the night.

"Old man, we are going to visit relatives in the city, but the city gate is closed, can we stay overnight?" Wu Mu asked before the old man could speak.

The old man looked at them one by one, and sighed in a low voice, "Come in."

The three of them came in and saw by the faint candlelight that it was a small earthen house with a small bedroom separated by wooden boards.At this time, an old woman with white hair came out from the inside. Seeing them, she looked at the old man in surprise and said, "This?"

"Borrowers, go and get some food." He asked them to sit down.

The four of them sat down around a low table, and the old woman brought a large rough bowl with three boiled sweet potatoes in it.The old man poured water for them, sighed and said, "The family is poor, I hope the guests will not dislike them."

The old woman put the oil lamp on the table and went into the back room by herself.Chu Hong sipped the water and said, "Old man, why don't you see your daughter-in-law?"

The old man said, "There is a son who went out with the army a few years ago and never came back." Chu Hong looked at Fangzheng and Wumu and said nothing.The old man continued, "He dedicated his life for the country, and we don't blame him. He was our son when he was born, and now he is the heroic soul of Chu, and the pride of our old couple!"

The old man had tears in his eyes, but he had a proud smile on his face, feeling quite excited.Chu Hong listened quietly, knowing in her heart that he was talking about the war four years ago.

Wu Mu looked at Chu Hong, knew that he must be recalling that incident, and said to the old man, "I remember that the families of soldiers who died in that war could get a certain amount of pension. Moon Silver."

The old man snorted, "It's the government that steals money from the pockets of the common people, how can ordinary people like us take money from the government?!"

Needless to say, those deeds of the government are known to all individuals, and the official word is two words, and people with no power and power can only have no hope.

Fangzheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Old man, there used to be more than a dozen families in this area? I haven't been back for several years, but it has become so big." He hasn't been back for nearly five years.

The old man sized him up, "The young master is from Changzhou. Yes, there were more than a dozen families here two years ago, but now we are the only one left."

Sure enough, things are not that simple.

"I don't know why?" Fangzheng asked.Chu Hong looked at him obviously anxiously, after all these years he still couldn't let go.

The old man said eloquently: "Changzhou is rich in peach blossom wine, and the best wine comes from Mingyue Villa." Fangzheng's eyes suddenly brightened.The old man said again: "Just two years ago, Mingyue Villa purchased this piece of land to plant peach trees, and opened up a vacant lot in the wasteland west of the city for our dozen or so households to resettle. The other residents took their money and went to the new place. "

"Then why don't you go?" Itsuki asked.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Who wants to stay in this desolate place, there is really no way. Mingyue Villa measures the land occupied by the house, and pays compensation according to the land. The government is the middleman, and Mingyue Villa hands over the compensation to the government. According to the data measured by Mingyue Villa We could get 100 taels of silver, but the government said that because our earthen house is not suitable for this price, they sent people to measure it again, and finally said that what we got was 80 taels of silver!"

"The government is just a middleman, and it is Mingyue Villa who pays the money. The government has no right to reduce the compensation without permission!" Fang Zheng said loudly.

The old man smiled wryly and said: "80 taels is 80 taels, we accepted it. But later the government said that the 80 taels should be divided into two parts. They took out Master Guan's real estate certificate, which actually said that our other house is his of!"

Chu Hong frowned with no expression on her face.

The old man said again: "This Mr. Guan once rented our house for a year. Unexpectedly, he obtained a real estate certificate privately, saying that the house belonged to him. The government asked us to give him 50 taels, and the remaining 30 taels And the land in the new place was given to us, but the 30 taels told us how to rebuild a house. So we didn’t sign the relocation letter until now.”

"It's so deceiving!" Fang Zheng said fiercely.

100 taels left with 30 taels, what a deception!

"Mingyue Villa will start construction here next year, so people from the government came to drive us away in a few days this year. Where are we going?!"

The old man led them to another earthen house, which was his son's house, and it was the one rented to Master Guan.Perhaps because of the conversation just now, the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy.

Chu Hong took off her forehead strap, looked at Fang Zheng and said, "The county magistrate of Changzhou is Zhang Huaizhong?"

"Exactly." Fangzheng replied.

Chu Hong wrote a small note, opened the window, and blew a tiny whistle into the empty night.There was the sound of flapping wings in the darkness, and a black bird flew in and stopped in front of him.Chu Hong tied the note to its feet and gently stroked its feathers.The bird flew into the night and became one with the darkness as if it had never been there.

Chu Hong looked at Fangzheng and said, "You stay, by the way

Let's go home and have a look, after so many years, the old man must calm down. "

Fangzheng bowed his head in silence.Chu Hong said again: "Wumu and I will go to Zhuzhou first, and we will leave after you arrive."

Fangzheng: "Yes."

The next day, the three of them left dozens of taels of silver and left for the city.Changzhou is really prosperous, and there are endless hawkers on both sides of the street.Entering the city, Fangzheng parted ways with them.
