Lei Yue Longmen

Three days later, Qin Zhuo was taken out of the prison by Yun Zhong, and he lost a lot of weight.There were also a few bruises on his face, which looked quite miserable.

"You were beaten?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Yun Zhong joked: "I never thought that a smart official from Qin would follow her way."

Qin Zhuo didn't bother to pay attention, seeing that Bao Siniang was waiting outside the government office, he walked feebly towards Bao's carriage.

Enduring the soreness of the bones in his whole body that were about to fall apart, without being helped, he climbed into the carriage like a bear, and once he closed his ears, he lay on his stomach and stopped moving.

Is this angry?

Yun Zhong called her several times, but she didn't agree, so he had no choice but to remove the golden sore medicine from the car, hand it over to Bao Si Niang, and drive back to the palace with an empty car.

Along the way, they didn't pay much attention to Bao Siniang.

Bao Siniang was very humble, and she wanted to see where she was hurt, but it was not very embarrassing.

After hesitating again and again, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Qin, Your Highness has cleared up your grievances for you. It was the woman and the oiran who collected money in private to falsely accuse you. The woman's daughter had an affair with someone and became pregnant. I was afraid of being held accountable after I posted it, so I pretended to be your name."

Qin Zhuo didn't speak, she was wronged, and she was going to be blamed for something that could have been made clear on the spot.If she hadn't seen Yun Zhong's hand gesture and asked her to endure it for three days, would she have endured this crime alive?

After being angry for a long time, I still couldn't understand the hatred, "Is that couple of dogs and that crazy woman dead? If not, I will kill them!"

"Uh...they have been arrested. His Highness said that there are too many cases to deal with right now. We will close the cases together when the new county magistrate takes office."

Qin Zhuo hissed in pain, his mouth was swollen.

Bao Siniang said nervously: "Brother Qin, is your injury okay?"

"I can't die, it's just that the eye circles have become real. Hey, if I know some bastard who will take advantage of my troubles and get someone to kill me. His bones must be broken and his tendons will be cramped."

This speech pulled the wound again, and the pain made her dizzy.Bao Siniang hurriedly took the golden sore medicine and smeared it on her.

The medicine is indeed a good medicine, and it is refreshing and painless as soon as it is applied.Qin Zhuo felt better, turned over and sat up, hissing his lips, and asked, "What did you say just now that the magistrate of the new county was appointed? What do you mean? Where did the original county magistrate go?"

"Where you were just now."

Bao Siniang spoke very veiled, afraid that she would not understand, and explained: "Last night, Ma County Magistrate's house was ransacked. Anyone who was involved with Prince Xiao's mansion did not run away."

Qin Zhuo couldn't believe it immediately, and repeatedly confirmed to Bao Siniang, and finally got this message from her face:

In the three days she was away, Kangyang City had changed.

As if to confirm her guess, there was a whimpering sound from outside the car. Qin Zhuo opened the curtain to look, and saw a group of officers and soldiers escorting a row of prisoners wearing heavy torture instruments on the north-south street they were passing by. Rush to the court.There were about a hundred and twenty people, men, women, old and young, all disheveled and weeping.Its condition is very miserable.

"Isn't that Uncle Zhang Ping?" Qin Zhuo looked at the stumbling chief criminal, a man in his 40s, whose temples turned white overnight, and almost didn't recognize him, "Is he also involved with King Xiao?"

Bao Siniang shook her head, "Not all of them. Among the thirteen nobles who were confiscated last night, many of them obstructed the court's food collection, both openly and covertly. His crime is more serious, that is, stealing the imperial food." Qin Zhuo left immediately. Of course, this chapter Ping Bo was killed by himself.

After Lu Chaisheng's incident, Zhang Pingbo ordered people to secretly move the grain that had been shipped and escorted back to his warehouse.On the surface, it seems nothing, after all, many grain merchants do this.But the problem is that the food from other families has not been out of the warehouse, or has not been boarded on the ship halfway, while his family's food has already been registered on the ship, and that is the food belonging to the imperial court.The nature is completely different.The law of the country stipulates that stealing the emperor's food, ranging from abandoning the market, to the Yi tribe.Did Pingbo in this chapter not know of this national law in advance?Certainly not.He saw that other families had moved out, and he felt dissatisfied, and refused to suffer this "secret loss", so he blatantly violated the national law.In the end, not only lost the future, but also took the innocent lives of the whole family.

Qin Zhuo heard the sound of the jingling chains dragging the floor gradually receding, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.I don't know who to mourn for.

"What about Prince Xiao's Mansion?"

"I originally thought that His Highness would go to copy Prince Xiao's mansion first. After all, the evidence was already there, but His Highness didn't do anything. My personal guess is that he must have some scruples, after all, he is a real uncle. But I'm not sure, maybe he was waiting What. I guessed randomly too. However, all the meritorious service he made with him has collapsed, and it is actually very uncomfortable for him to stand there alone."

Qin Zhuo couldn't believe it when he heard her speak calmly, so he insisted on going to Prince Xiao's mansion to have a look.

In order to satisfy her curiosity, Bao Siniang asked the driver to take a long detour and go to Prince Xiao's mansion.Coincidentally, I saw a group of fierce officers and soldiers rushing into the palace, smashing and making noise, causing men, women and children in the palace to cry and howl, which is particularly sensational.However, half an hour later, the hundreds of officers and soldiers just caught an unremarkable minion and walked away.Neither ransacked the house nor put a seal on it.

"This..." Just to catch a servant, why make such a big fuss?

Bao Siniang smiled intriguingly, "I guess they will come again in the afternoon."

Qin Zhuo choked, and immediately understood that they were ordered by someone to disturb the palace and deliberately punish that King Xiao!

"This trick is too bad! I like it!" She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.Suddenly she was concerned about the fate of her competitor Du Laosan again,

"It's not his turn yet. But it's coming soon. He ran to the palace before dawn today, saying that he would donate half of his family property to the court for free, but His Highness didn't let him in."

Qin Zhuo laughed so hard that he slapped his thighs for a moment, forgetting his own injuries, "Hahahaha, this Du Laosan, he also has today! If you want to change the wall temporarily, go dreaming! Ah, it's so enjoyable!"

Bao Siniang watched her smile, and couldn't help but also laughed, "So, your three days of patience, in exchange for your Highness's unbearable plan to withdraw the net. It can be regarded as a bad breath for you, yes wrong?"

Qin Zhuo drooped his face again when he heard the words, unhappy.It's depressing enough to think about it. The little sheep that I thought needed to be protected are actually big bad wolves in sheep's clothing. This obvious cannibalism is much better than those old men who can only do things secretly.What kind of trouble do you think she had before?It's people and efforts, and it's even used the identity that it's hard to hide.I really lost my wife and lost my army.

The words were divided into two parts. The empress dowager set up airs in the study room early in the morning, waiting for Qin Zhuo to regretfully explain to herself the rascal behavior of going around the palace to cheat food and drink these days, and then decide whether to pardon or punish.

As a result, Yunzhong pulled a carload of air back.

"What about people?"

Yun Zhong is also relatively honest, knowing that he has not completed the task, he recruits everything when asked.Speaking of her going out, she got into Bao Siniang's carriage and never came back no matter how she called.The two blue veins on the crown princess' browbones began to twitch.The drop is no less than a punch in the cotton.The Empress Dowager's smile gradually distorted, and she still said in a normal tone, "That's fine. After all, it's not appropriate to keep such an idler in the palace all the time."

Yun Zhong didn't know how to answer.

"That's right!" The Empress Dowager suddenly remembered, Yun Zhong thought she was about to explode at last, so she listened attentively.

Unexpectedly, she was still calm, "Send the deaf woman and Uncle Sun Mute back to her. There are also those inside and outside bedding, big boxes, etc., and pack a carriage for her to drag back. In addition, Bring some gifts, let’s just say, I’m really grateful for bothering the officials of Qin to provide suggestions for the food-raising plan these days. Pick the most expensive ones, and the more you can show your sincerity, the better. It’s best to have two copies, and one for the treasurer.”

Yun Zhong retreated in a cold sweat, and hurriedly went to Zhang Luo to arrange it.

Bao Siniang was overjoyed to receive the reward.Qin Zhuo was really stunned, feeling that something was missing.What's missing?She asked Yun Zhong: "Do you want to go to the palace to thank you?" Yun Zhong insisted: "No, Your Highness said, I'm very busy these days, and when the matter comes to an end, I will have a celebration banquet to reward everyone. What's the matter?" If you need it, just send a message from the bag shopkeeper, and you don’t have to run back and forth, after all, it’s troublesome to go back and forth.”

"..." Is it necessary to send a message?

With a strange emotion, Qin Zhuo returned to the old house with a bundle of belongings like a stray dog.Eating the food cooked by the deaf mother-in-law, and watching Steward Sun report his business experience in sign language as usual, it was the first time that he felt unwilling to eat, even if he made more money, he was not interested.It was as if something had changed and not changed at all.

In fact, this result is already very good. You can just get by by lying to the empress dowager. Who should not accept this shit luck happily?However, she didn't, she was thinking of something else.

Did Li Jingzhu really intend to let her go?Could it be that she is playing some scheming, intentionally letting her guard down, and then hitting her hard when she is not prepared?However, this is a bit too naive and does not conform to the style of the crown princess.

Or she is too busy to take care of her for the time being, and when the matter comes to an end, will she settle the score for herself?

I can't figure it out.

Alas, torment.

On the third day, the flower pot in her hand slid out of her hand like lard because she heard the news that the Crown Princess was about to return to Beijing. The momentum of concealing one's ears was brought back.

Bao Siniang was so frightened by her shock, she clutched her chest and told her: "Your Highness will leave early in the morning, and the grain merchants will hold a banquet in Chengfeng Building tomorrow night to practice for His Highness. Will you come?"

Bao Siniang naturally hoped that she would be there, but seeing how hesitant she was holding the invitation, she didn't know what to do for a while.

"Brother Qin, if something happens..."

Clinker, Qin Zhuo conveniently threw the invitation on the balcony, "The post is accepted, whether you want to go or not, it depends on your mood then, just reserve a seat for me."

As a result, she came to Chengfeng Tower early the next day.Unexpectedly, I received a wave of star-studded treatment.In the eyes of her peers, she made a lot of money from this investment, and it was as if Lu Buwei was still alive.Qin Zhuo talked nonsense with them for a while, but his ears couldn't help being attracted by the gossiping grain merchants at the table.

These people have nothing to do, and they connected the great changes that happened in Kangyang County in a storytelling manner, and described Donggong as an all-powerful and omnipotent goddess.

"Overnight, the homes of the thirteen nobles in Kangyang Mansion were ransacked. There was no news at all, and three thousand soldiers were lying in ambush outside the city. When it was dark, they immediately entered the city and beat them up. Everyone was caught off guard." A monkey-like skinny man squatted on the bench and vividly described the scene: "When the county magistrate of Nama was kicked open the gate of the mansion, he was sleeping with his little wife. I didn't have time to put on my pants, so I hurriedly copied the guy and called someone. As a result, the general who took the lead kicked him on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the little wife screamed on the spot in fright, and she was slapped twice and fainted. It's all over the floor, and there's a sunken piece in the chest, it's probably because the bone is broken, or someone carried it out with the door plank."

Everyone was terrified, and their breastbone also felt faint pain, "What kind of soldier is this, why does it look like a bandit?"

"What soldier? Of course the soldiers from the north! They just came off the battlefield, killing people like broken willows, drinking blood like drinking tea. One arm is thicker than your thigh, and the one hand can break people's necks. It's not our side that collects rent. That night, I sneaked up the wall and took a look outside, and I was so scared that I almost peed my pants."

"Why did the soldiers from the north come to the south? I haven't heard that the imperial court has an order!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense," a knowledgeable grain merchant interrupted him, "Those are soldiers from Gongyang County who were temporarily seconded. They are soldiers from the north. The soldiers in the north are much stronger than here. .However, the governor of Gongyang County is the brother-in-law of Marquis Dingguo, so it is reasonable to help."

The thin monkey was interrupted, quite bored, he found the steps and said: "I don't know where the soldiers are, I only know that the soldiers in the north are the most fierce, so I thought they were from the north."

"Hey, don't care where it is from, tell me quickly, tell me quickly, what else do you see?"

The monkey had no choice but to continue: "That night, I also saw Zhang Pingbo's servant go to Zhang Ge's hometown in a panic, probably wanting to ask Ge Lao for help, but when he arrived at the door of Ge's hometown, he knocked on the door, wow Two big men with knives rushed out, put the knives on his neck, and fainted on the spot. It turns out that Zhang Ge's hometown was also raided."

"You're talking nonsense again, Zhang Pingbo's family and Zhang Ge's hometown are in the East District and the other is in the South District. They are several streets away from your West District. The two families sent letters, but why did they reach your nose. "

"Hey, maybe it's not his nonsense this time," another person said, "The sons of the old house in this pavilion have recently separated, and the old couple in that pavilion moved to the garden in the west district to hide themselves. I also heard that night When there is some movement, Zhang Zhangge’s hometown was copied shortly after dark, and it should be the first group to be copied. The old couple are in their 80s, and they were ruined by a group of unscrupulous descendants. Alas~ Miserable Woolen cloth!"

The skinny man had enough confidence when he heard it, and he had an expression of "Look, I'm not lying." "Anyway, that day, the honorable man whose house was ransacked was running around all over the street, begging grandpa to sue grandma everywhere. But no matter begging No matter which house you go to, you will be copied. There is really no way to go to heaven. There is no way to enter the earth. Let me tell you this, none of those who went with King Xiao at the banquet that day was spared. Or I said that the empress dowager has magical powers. As for Guangda, she has already set up a big net, waiting for you to drill into it, and then collect the net after dawn, hey, there will be food and drink."

Everyone was overwhelmed by the words, "These people are also out of their minds, and they have to go to the muddy waters of King Xiao. This King Xiao couldn't stand up ten years ago, and he still wanted to rely on the Empress Dowager to avoid it." Killing the gold medal, domineering! I don’t even look at who is behind the empress dowager. She is still easy to bully. The water in the East Palace is deep!"

"Hey, do you know what's going on with Prince Xiao's mansion now? Have you put a seal on it?"

"Not posted yet, but I guess it will be soon..."

Listening to these true and false rumors, Qin Zhuo felt a strong sense of unreality.

In their eyes, county kings, earls, elders, and so on, who can't be friends with money, could have been wiped out overnight, just like what was said in the playbook.What is involved behind this is not only the depth of water.

Show her clearly what the distance between people is!

Such a woman standing in the clouds and turning her hands into clouds and rain is not at the same level as ordinary people like them struggling to survive at the bottom.

Now she seems to understand why Li Jingzhu didn't punish her excessively from the beginning to the end. I'm afraid it's not because of her generosity, but because she simply doesn't care about it!

Because the distance is too far, there are also differences in the angles of judging things between them.

She is like the sun and the moon hanging in the sky, overlooking all living beings.And I'm just a little shrimp with a hunched waist, it's hard for me to keep my body straight when the tide comes and goes.Distance, it is this unattainable distance that makes people feel discouraged and daunting!

Qin Zhuo intentionally avoided the crowd and went upstairs to blow the air.When I got to the second floor, I met a few strong men carrying wine downstairs.When passing by, Qin Zhuo saw a strong man lower his head quickly. Qin Zhuo felt a little strange, but he didn't take it seriously.

The Chengfeng Building is divided into two floors, the second floor is surrounded by a circle of red-painted railings, overlooking the entire hall.Because people are all waiting for the Empress Dowager to drive in the courtyard-like hall, it is very quiet up there.

Qin Zhuo followed the east-west aisle and turned onto the promenade facing the street in the south.A row of flower, bird, fish and insect lanterns are hung on the corridor, which is enough to make people feel happy at first sight.But the woman who was leaning on the railing alone and staring blankly was not so happy.

"Hey, it's such a coincidence that you can meet the proprietress here."

The woman turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw the person coming, her face changed slightly.Ready to withdraw and leave: "Since the official Qin is here, the concubine will not disturb the cleanliness of the official, so I will leave!"

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to leave?!" Qin Zhuo stopped her with his arms, lowered his head to appreciate her face, "The proprietress seems very unhappy, is she worrying about Mr. Du? That's right, even Prince Xiao fell down." Now, can this tarsus maggot Du Laosan survive? Losing such a patron, tsk tsk, even I am worried about the future of the proprietress and this Chengfeng building!"

Qin Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, raised her chin with a half-smile, and the half-curved corners of his mouth were full of provocation.

"Why don't you follow me? Anyway, I'm still a good-looking talent at a young age. I'm not much better than the old, ugly and wives and concubines. Two, you are so young and beautiful, don't you feel panicked sleeping with him?"

The proprietress knocked her hand off with a slap, and her eyes turned red, "I know that there is no good end to offending Mr. Qin, you just want to kill or cut, why bother to humiliate me over and over again!"

"Hiss! You're quite angry!" Qin Zhuo also became angry, grabbed her flailing wrist, forced her to the inside of the corridor and threatened, "Don't think I don't know what tricks you use. You really Are you worried that Chengfeng Tower will fall into other people's hands? I can tell you that Mr. Du has made many enemies in the mall on weekdays. Once he falls, some people want this Chengfeng Tower. Instead of giving it to others, it is better to give it to me , at least I can let you continue to be the proprietress here. You have seen the misery around Lu Er Er when he was defeated. There is no need for me to take action, and you will be bitten to pieces! Give it to me or someone else , think carefully about it yourself!"

Qin Zhuo's intimidation seemed to have worked. Seeing her leaning against the wall motionless, her eyes closed and her lips biting, she seemed to be making a difficult decision.Qin Zhuo inexplicably felt that she was a bit contemptible, but she quickly convinced herself that even if she didn't take it, others would. At least she could still give her security, and it wasn't a bad treatment to her.It's just that what's going on with the panic in my heart?It's probably been a long time since I went up the mountain to visit the master. Tomorrow I will bring two bags of tea to the mountain to honor his old man.

Just as I was thinking about it, the Crown Princess Yijia arrived.It was still the same as that day, with only twenty riders.Everyone was picking up the car below, Qin Zhuo thought that anyway, there were many people below, and there was a lot less himself, so it would not be too late to get in after the excitement was over.

Clinker, when she took the seat, she was first glared at by that little girl Yun Zai.The knife flicked, as if it was going to cut her into minced meat on the spot.Qin Zhuo was a little baffled, and thought to himself that even if he concealed his identity from her, he wouldn't be so angry!He didn't know that his actions upstairs had been seen by the three people opposite him, and they were automatically classified as frivolous.

Among them, the biggest gap was Yunzai. Since the three of them listened to the music in the garden that day, she was the only one who fell ill without any future.Life and death missed the next countless good shows.When she learned from Yun Zhong that Hua Qing and Qin Zhuonai were the same person, she almost vomited blood for three liters on the spot!How is this possible?In her heart, Sister Hua Qing, who is as pure as a fairy, is the same person as the official Qin who cannot be supported by mud?It's like a flower stuck in cow dung!

She was also going to settle accounts with Qin Zhuo this time, but she saw a man and a woman upstairs talking intimately upstairs.After a while, both of them went inside. The dark sky and the bright moon are bright and dry, and they don't know what they are doing.At first, it was just contemptuous, and I thought to myself that there must be some kind of prodigal son upstairs molesting the big girl from a good family, but when the prodigal son pretended to sneak into the banquet without anyone noticing, raised his head, and winked at her, it was almost A thunderbolt fell across the sky, and two big cymbals clattered on the head!The beating made her laugh back in anger, her limbs felt cold!A mouthful of old blood choked in his lungs.

This meal was really unpleasant.During the period, he received countless slashes from the little girl Yun Zai, and the ecstasy of the crown princess ignoring her existence the whole time. After a banquet, Qin Zhuo felt that half of his life was on the wine table.

Bao Siniang saw her bewildered face, and she didn't know what was wrong, so she added a little bit: "Brother Qin, you clearly know who did it, why are you still with... upstairs... um..." She I'm really embarrassed to say it.

Qin Zhuo understood her expression, "Did you see it?"

Bao Siniang nodded.Qin Zhuo didn't explain too much, but suddenly remembered something to tell Bao Siniang, so he winked at her.Bao Siniang understood, and went to a secluded place with her, "Brother Qin, do you have something to say?"

Qin Zhuo nodded: "It's not easy for Chengfeng Building to survive until now. The proprietress is also quite capable. If a female stream wants to gain a foothold in Kangyang, it won't work without some means. I think, you will be able to live in Kangyang in the future." It has stabilized, if you can help take care of it, please help take care of it, so that this Chengfeng building will not fall into the hands of evil people with ulterior motives."

Bao Siniang was slightly surprised, "Why does Brother Qin take care of her like this?"

Qin Zhuo seemed a little helpless: "I can't help it. When I passed by here when I was a child, I got three bowls of life-saving fast food from the owner of this house. It's a kindness."

Bao Siniang seemed to understand, "I see."

It seemed that Qin Zhuo had a premonition that Qin Zhuo was going to leave, "Brother Qin, are you planning to leave Kangyang?"

"Hmm." Qin Zhuo looked in the direction of Li Jingchen, a little nostalgic, a little bit reluctant, and there was something incomprehensible.Meaningfully said: "There is always a banquet in the world, and there will be a reunion in the future."

However, things are unpredictable.Just when she was about to embark on another brand-new journey, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky, disrupting all her arrangements.
