Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

"Tat Tat Tat—" The sound of horseshoes was particularly abrupt in the silent night.In this small village that was washed away by the water of the Yellow Sea, there is no living person left. The villagers left early if they could escape, and those who did not escape the flood left only fragmented corpses on the wasteland. Perhaps more were hastily swept into the tributaries of the Yellow River, and it is unknown where the bones were buried.

Ever since Wang Ziteng received a letter before leaving the capital, he became restless.He has not had a good life in the past few years. He has always been worried that one day the emperor will use any excuse to pick off his top-wearing flower feathers, so he always handles his errands carefully and tries to thank guests behind closed doors.He didn't expect that this time he would be appointed as an imperial envoy together with the sixth prince, responsible for disaster relief.

On the day Wang Ziteng received the imperial decree, he felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart. There was a fear of doing business with Xun Min. The way he did things was cruel and he would never allow any accidents to happen during disaster relief. If you meet someone who doesn't have eyes full of selfishness, then you will definitely become a dead soul under the sword.But Xun Min is not afraid of the revenge of those villains, Wang Ziteng is afraid.He didn't have an emperor brother, and the people he had befriended in the early years were killed, and those who were demoted were demoted. How should he take over this hot potato-like job.

"Woo—" Two horses galloping on the path stopped in front of the small hut.Wang Ziteng's heart skipped a beat, and he followed the instructions in the letter to the small hut.Now there is only one door left, and he can know who it is, the master behind that matter.

In the past 30 years, the Wang family has made friends with many forces. In addition to Jia Xue who is related by marriage, there are also those four princes and eight princes. Matters of fiefdom.Although no one in the Wang family held such an important position after Wang Ziteng's grandfather passed away, those connections still remained to some extent.

The relationship between the Wang family and Prince Yizhong was not good, and Wang Ziteng didn't know the reason. Maybe it was because Prince Yizhong couldn't understand the Wang family's flattery. Supporting the crown prince at the time, then the only thing waiting for the Wang family is to perish.It's a pity that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable. No one thought that the first empress would pass the throne to the Wang family, and they never made a bet. However, after the deal was done, they could only find ways to do small tricks under the new emperor's nose.

What happened was quite different from Wang Ziteng's idea. Once the emperor was the guarantor, and after the former emperor left, before he had time to understand, it had become a foregone conclusion that the old officials could no longer control.However, the Wang family is already too deeply tied to various forces, and Wang Ziteng has nothing to do to retreat in the situation. Even when King Dongping is about to rebel, he can only act as an internal response in the Nine Gates.

Now the head is still on the neck, I don't know if it is God's blessing.Just when he already wanted to have a peaceful life and stop tossing about, that mysterious man appeared.When Wang Ziteng's grandfather passed away, the Wang family fell into a predicament for a while, and no one in the court was about to be expelled from the center of power. If it hadn't been for the mysterious person who extended his hand in time and arranged for his father to enter the official department, there would be no future. Wealthy days of the royal family.

On that night 30 years ago, he was still a student preparing for the exam. The man behind the scene with a ghost face only asked the Wang family to record this kindness, and one record lasted for 30 years.After a long time, Wang Ziteng would forget about this incident, but he received the letter on the night he left Beijing, which described in detail how his father persecuted three courtiers in order to seek to enter the official department. Teng's every move of those superficial fools is also in the eyes of the mysterious person.

Wang Ziteng was dripping with cold sweat as he heard the footsteps getting closer. He didn't know why this man came to him, and what price he would have to pay after so many years.

"Crackling——" the door was opened, and Wang Ziteng saw a person who surprised him very much. He saw the king of Zhongshun who said in the last emperor's edict that he could not leave Beijing without an edict, appearing in front of him majestically.

Zhongshun smiled and looked at Wang Ziteng. This person is a little afraid of him. It’s good to know that he is afraid. In this world, you will kill me or I will kill you. He just wants to be a person who is feared by the world.

Wang Ziteng didn't dare to look directly at Zhongshun's face. This expression was not at all the flirtatious and lecherous expression seen in the theater in the capital, but the kind of smile that made one's scalp tingle. "I don't know the lord is coming, it's really rude, I don't know what the lord wants to order tonight?"

"Order?" Zhongshun seemed a little puzzled when he heard Wang Ziteng's words, but he was definitely not pretending to be stupid, but he disliked this person for not being smart enough. Now that he saw a person who couldn't leave Beijing appearing in front of him, wouldn't he Do you understand the inside story? "Your Majesty Wang is wrong. I have nothing to ask you to do. I just came to collect debts. 30 years ago, I helped your Wang family become rich and prosperous. After 30 years, your Wang family returned me a huge old net. This deal is fair!"

Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment, and then fixed his eyes on the ground. His heart was already filled with huge waves. It turned out that he was waiting here. It turned out that what Zhongshun wanted was the list of all the old Dang Pengs with different surnames.Wang Ziteng clenched his hands into fists. He didn't know what to say. Many people had died or lost power during the liquidation of the former emperor and the present emperor, but there were always some left behind, especially those from Nan'an. As a king of a different surname who still has military power, the King of Nan'an still has a lot of power in the south.

"My lord..." Wang Ziteng wanted to ask why, but the moment he raised his head, he was shocked by the incomparably sinister eyes. He knew that if he refused to be loyal, the only result waiting for him was death.So when the words came to his lips, Wang Ziteng took a deep breath and changed his words, "The prince is the benefactor of the Wang family, so there is no such thing as buying or selling. Naturally, these lower officials are willing to offer it, but the things are in the capital. I don't know if the time is right or not." Relax for a few days."

"Hehe——Master Wang is really restrained." Zhongshun looked at Wang Ziteng's sensible appearance, and the gloomy expression on his face became more serious. It was not clear whether it was a real smile or a fake smile. He stretched out a hand, He made a gesture of three, "The disaster relief work is coming to an end, aren't you going to return to Beijing tomorrow? The king has waited for 30 years, can't you wait for these three days? After three days, the king will send someone to collect things , Mr. Wang has passed the time, I hope he won't have a bad memory."

"I don't dare to be an official." Wang Ziteng shook his head quickly, expressing that he has no different intentions. King Zhongshun must have used various means to target the Wang family 30 years ago. I just hope that after this incident, King Zhongshun will stop staring at the Wang family. "After three days, the next official will definitely get things ready, but in the future..."

"Of course the transaction is money and goods." Zhongshun interrupted Wang Ziteng's question. After he got something, he would not focus on someone who didn't have it. "This king is a man who keeps his word, so don't worry about this, Mr. Wang."

****

Xie was looking at the secret guard's note, which recorded Wang Ziteng's movements during the disaster relief journey. On the return journey, he did meet with people, but the place where they met was too desolate, which was not conducive to tracking and eavesdropping. Wei also failed to catch up with the mysterious person who had come into contact with them, and lost track of him on a section of the waterway. He only knew that this person was heading towards the south of the Yangtze River.Who on earth is it?No matter who it is, it is always inseparable from Zhongshun.

"Has there been any movement at Zhongshun's place recently?"

"Returning to the emperor, Zhongshun Prince's Mansion has been the same recently as it was before. The opera troupe is invited to sing every day, and there is no change."

Xun turned the prayer beads in his hand, feeling something was wrong, "Where's the Wang family? Is there anything unusual?"

"There is no change in the Wang family."

Do you have any questions?It is impossible for Zhongshun to be someone who seeks peace in the world.

There, Liu Xianglian came to Xue Pan in a hurry, and when she entered Xue's mansion, she had a weird look on her face, "Brother Xue, there is a clue to that matter."

"Brother Liu, is there something wrong here? Your complexion is not very good." Xue Pan looked at Liu Xianglian, as if he had discovered something unbelievable.

"Qiguan is dead. They all regard human life as grass. It's already a big mistake." Liu Xianglian just rushed back from Jiangnan, and went to Zhongshun Wangchang for the reason of listening to the show. In the theatre, I met the King of Zhongshun, and then sat down to confirm the guess in my heart. "Brother Xue, there are many strange people in the world, but they never associate with the royal power. These unwritten rules have been passed down for thousands of years, but there are always people who break them. Except for twins, it is rare to see identical twins. Two people, Prince Yizhong and King Zhongshun in the last emperor's edict, the two are not allowed to leave Beijing without an edict. Seven days ago, I saw King Zhongshun with my own eyes at the Suzhou pier!"

"What?!" Xue Pan didn't expect Liu Xianglian to find out such a thing, "You mean there are two Zhongshun kings, one in the capital and one in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Liu Xianglian nodded in disbelief, "That's true, that's why I hurried back, but I saw another person in the theater building, this person listening to the opera and the person on the boat, the appearance is exactly the same, but the expression However, it is very different. Qiguan is deeply loved by King Zhongshun, maybe he was killed because he discovered this great secret."

The two fell into a moment of silence. The royal family's attitude towards twins is very extreme. If they are twins, it will be auspicious for the country, but if they are the same two princes, then they can only kill one and keep the other, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the future. Disturb the succession to the throne and other issues in the future.Xue Pan frowned, "What does this matter have to do with people in Jianghu? Could it be that someone saved someone who shouldn't be saved 50 years ago?"

Liu Xianglian didn't know whether it was the person who saved someone's life and built a seven-level pagoda, or brought back the ghosts that should have returned to the underworld. A four-year-old mute child who was poisoned into the veins of the heart was rescued. After saving the person, it turned out that the person was disguised as a woman and raised in a nunnery. This person is another Zhongshun, the one who appeared in the south of the Yangtze River Zhongshun. And Qiu Zhen passed away 45 years ago."

Xue Pan's mind was a little messed up, did the Emperor know about the fact that the concubine gave birth to two obedient ones?Or this person was sent to the nunnery by his mother and concubine, but because of various scruples, he couldn't let him live normally, poisoned him, and let him be raised as a girl, so that it would be impossible to regain his status as a prince .Or that he was supposed to die, but he died after being poisoned, but he was dumbed down by the poison, escaped and was rescued by the people in the nunnery?

It has been many years since the royal family's secrets, and no one can tell, but it is a certainty that a child will be killed.

Xue Pan seemed to understand why Zhongshun wanted to turn the world upside down. No matter what method he used to connect with his brother, and how he came back from hell step by step on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, it was all the same. A life that has never been expected, a person who can never really live in the world, naturally has no love for this world.All his hatred is towards the Daqing royal family. If he was not born in the emperor's family, how could he have such a lifetime of sorrow.

At this time, the Wang family suddenly handed over the booklet to Xun Shi, and Wang Ziteng died suddenly in the afternoon. He didn't know what he guessed when he was dying, but he just said something intermittently, "There is more behind me and I forget to shrink my hands, and there is no way to think in front of me." look back. '

A ship has departed from Suzhou, bound for Fujian, and from there to Guangxi.Zhongshun counted the days, Wang Ziteng should be dead too, only the dead can really feel at ease, isn't it?
