The road to Taiyuan Mansion was smooth, and the occasional wind and snow did not cause major obstacles.

In order to take care of Wen Zhiru's injury, Jin Yihui also specially ordered to slow down his pace, but Wen Zhiru was trapped in the carriage for four or five days in a row, which was really boring.The wound has just scabbed, so it is definitely not suitable to walk around at this time, and Jin Yihui will help take care of everything.

A daily conversation between the two goes something like this:

Wen Zhiru: "It's just the medicine, why is it taking so long?"

Jin Yihui: "The wound will heal quickly if the medicine is applied evenly."

Wen Zhiru: "But I'm obviously not injured there, what are you touching?"

Jin Yihui smiled triumphantly: "Madam's delicate skin and tender meat feel great in the hand, I couldn't hold back for a while."

Wen Zhiru gritted his teeth: "Get lost!"

************************************************** ********************

Even with such a stop-and-go journey, on the sixth day the carriage drove into the gate of Taiyuan Prefecture.

It was already the middle of winter, with heavy snow falling, but the streets in the city were full of lively people coming and going.

The yelling of vendors on the street, the endless stream of customers in restaurants and shops.

After all, it is the capital of Shanxi.

Wen Zhiru's trauma is almost healed, but the poison in his body makes his body weak, and he always falls asleep for five or six hours a day.It was rare to be sober at the moment, and was opening the curtain to look outside.

Wen Zhiru: "It's not that because of the recruitment of private soldiers, dozens of villages around here forcibly conscripted men into the army, so that a lot of farmland was left uncultivated. I didn't expect the city to still be so prosperous!"

The Dajin Dynasty followed the military household system left over from the previous dynasty, and divided ordinary people into civilian and military households. Farm households were only responsible for farming and paying taxes, while military households joined the army for generations.

The so-called recruiting of private soldiers naturally cannot start from those military households. Those households and military departments are all on record and can be easily found out, so they can only forcibly recruit some strong men from peasant households.

Jin Yihui: "It takes more than half a month to stop here from the capital. If someone wants to whitewash the peace, it may not be impossible."

Wen Zhiru: "It's true that the army is going to be stationed. I don't know how big it is?"

In today's peaceful and prosperous age, the Great Jin Dynasty has not encountered war for more than ten years. Naturally, it is impossible for the country to keep millions of soldiers empty-handed. Except for some necessary city defense and frontier guards, most of them go home to cultivate land and farm for self-sufficiency.

Just like the 50 soldier talismans in the hands of General Xiahou, it will not be possible to mobilize them in a short time. In addition, some people will be stationed at the border.

Jin Yihui: "The biggest threat to private soldiers is not the number of people. According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, except for the imperial guards and Jinyiwei owned by the emperor, only the soldiers and horses of the five cities can be stationed in the capital. The rest of the army has no military orders. Even the commander-in-chief cannot be dispatched easily. But private soldiers are different, they are not loyal to the monarch, and they are more well-trained than those who have not experienced wars and are passive and corrupt.”

Wen Zhiru thought about Jin Yihui's words for a while and asked, "If that person rebels right now, what are his chances of winning?"

Jin Yihui: "I'm afraid we haven't prepared enough. We should be afraid to cover up the evidence after such a troublesome hindrance."

Is this fear his father?Wen Zhiru asked in his heart.

As Jin Yihui said, the matter of private soldiers did not happen overnight. In the previous life, Jin Yixuan did not find out the truth, but Prince Rui only seized power and usurped the throne after the death of Lord Shoufu.

The more he knew, the more he felt that there must be other secrets behind his father's death in his previous life. He even expected the final outcome long ago and entrusted himself to the son of the virtuous king in advance.

"Are you tired?" Jin Yihui saw that he had been thinking and remained silent, worried whether he would be exhausted, "We will arrive at the inn ahead, you have been bumping in the carriage for these days, take a shower and change clothes later Get some sleep."

Wen Zhiru was puzzled: "Aren't you going to the government office?" The governor of Shanxi hand-picked by the emperor, he couldn't even see the prefect here!

"When you meet the magistrate, you will inevitably have to congratulate and socialize, and it is not convenient to go in and out. Besides, I know you don't like these things on the scene. You are still weak and need to rest. It will not be too late to wait for the cold wind to get the antidote for two days. "

Wen Zhiru nodded, he really needed to rest, but after sitting by the car window for a while, he was a little tired and drowsiness welled up.If Leng Feng couldn't get the antidote, he was really afraid that he would fall asleep like this.

After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a seemingly well-decorated inn.

There were quite a few diners in the hall on the ground floor of the inn, and even in this cold weather, nearly [-]% of the guests sat in twos and threes, with a pot of hot wine and a few stacks of home-cooked dishes.

The shopkeeper was very hospitable, and he came out to greet him personally. Wen Zhiru followed the shopkeeper into the store, and always felt that the atmosphere here was a bit weird. Unfortunately, he had little experience in the world, so he couldn't tell why. He just looked at Jin Yihui. , frowned slightly.

"Those diners are all fake." Jin Yihui told Anle to pack up and ask for a few guest rooms, while he whispered in Wen Zhiru's ear.

"Oh?"

"This restaurant is located in a busy city and well-decorated. At first glance, it seems that the business is booming. There is no problem, but the diners acted too fakely. There is no atmosphere of gossiping and laughing at ordinary people's meals. Even you can see that something is wrong. Isn’t it? And if you take a closer look, the food on the table is probably just for show to outsiders. It’s already cold, but they pretend to be delicious. Would you like to eat it in this snowy day? Cold dish?"

"From what you've said, it's true. But what's the secret of Taiyuan City, that even the guests of the inn are pretending to be?"

"I'm afraid that's the purpose of our trip." It seemed that he needed to visit another place tonight.

"Do you want to ask the guard to bring one to ask for clarification?"

"They are just employed by others, so I'm afraid they won't be able to ask you anything. After you've worked all the way, I'll ask someone to prepare some delicious side dishes for you and bring them to your room. After you eat, you can take a rest. These things Just don't worry about it."

"Okay." Wen Zhiru nodded and followed the waiter to the guest room in the backyard.

On the way, what Jin Yihui chanted every day was to tell him to take care of his health. The level of babble was comparable to that of Nanny Liu who took care of him when he grew up in Wen's residence.Before Leng Feng got back the antidote, he should stop conflicting with him on this issue.

************************************************** ***********************

At night, Wen Zhiru felt inexplicably anxious.

Jin Yihui ate something with him in the afternoon, and asked someone to fetch water for him to take a bath and rest, and then went out with An Le.

Said to go around and see what else is suspicious in this city.

But now it's already the second watch, and there is still no one.

Wen Zhiru was lying on the bed alone, looking at the empty room, he felt a little deserted.

During the few days from Yangquan Town to Taiyuan City, he and Jin Yihui slept in the carriage every night. It was only a few days ago that he couldn't sleep by himself.

Sure enough, habit is a terrible thing.

Wen Zhiru sat up from the bed and lit a candle.

"Leng Yun." He called softly.

"Young Master, what are your orders?" The Shizi was not there, so Leng Yun naturally didn't dare to make any mistakes, and kept his eyes on Wen Zhiru's movements all the time.

"Where did the prince go?"

"Eh?" The young master didn't sleep at night, why did you ask this?

"You don't know?" Jin Yihui is not such a secretive person, even if it is inconvenient to bring outsiders with him when he goes out to do business, he will leave a contact information just in case.

"This... the son just wants to check whether the city is really as bustling as it was during the day."

"Where can I check at this time?" In this cold weather, shops and restaurants are almost closed, unless...

A place popped up in Wen Zhiru's mind suddenly.But he didn't ask, just waiting for Leng Yun's answer.

"This... The subordinates didn't follow, so we can know such details, but they belong to some restaurants and shops." Leng Yun avoided the important and ignored it, "My son is good at kung fu, and he can adapt to the situation. Young master, you can just rest and don't worry. Maybe it's time to leave It’s too far away, delayed on the road, and I’ll be back in a while.”

Wen Zhiru didn't want to be out of the circle, so he said straight to the point: "How many brothels and Chu houses are there in Taiyuan City?"

"Master..."

Of course, they couldn't see the changes in the relationship between the son and his young master during this period of time, so Leng Yun was embarrassed to speak in front of Wen Zhiru about the matter of the son going to the brothel, but he still couldn't hide it.

"Did he tell you to hide it from me?" He didn't suspect that Jin Yihui went to the brothel to investigate the case, but what did he mean by deliberately not telling himself?Do you have ghosts in your heart?

"When the son left, he just told his subordinates to take care of the young master, and didn't say anything else."

"Oh." Wen Zhiru lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.

"Master..." Leng Yun didn't have a family after all, and he didn't understand the convenience of feelings. Seeing Wen Zhiru like this, he thought he was really hurt, and hurriedly persuaded, "My son is not so disrespectful." Man, I will not be sorry to you, young master, young master—"

"Leng Yun, help me change my clothes!" Wen Zhiru didn't let him finish his sentence, "I'm going to have a look too."

"Yes, less—huh?!"

What did he hear?What are you going to do, master?

The author has something to say: the author is forced to work on weekends, so the updates are generally concentrated on Sunday to Thursday, and there are still four chapters that have not been updated this week! ! ! ! !

By the way, do you know if you want to go to a brothel to see beautiful women? ! !Hehehe~~~~

Is it Zhiru or Shizi who will overthrow the jealous jar in the end~~~~~ Hahahaha
