After being bound by the eating and broadcasting system, I became a heartthrob

"Then, does His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince still want to know what we talked about? If you really want to know, it's okay to tell you," Meng Zhenzhi asked with a smile.

"Oh?" Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, "Then you can tell me."

Just as Meng Zhenzhi was about to speak, Liu Dazhuang ran in panting, holding his knees with one hand and panting, "It's not good! Brother Meng, our horse is gone."

"Tayun disappeared?" Before Meng Zhenzhi could speak, Chu Yu frowned and hurriedly answered.

Meng Zhenzhi took a look at Chu Yu and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly. He pondered for a while, and said, "This area is the junction of the southeast border and the mainland. There must be a lot of bandits from the southeast, and they were probably taken away by someone."

Liu Dazhuang nodded quickly, "Brother Meng, what you said is true. I just tied the horse to the horse stake and wanted to find some fodder for it. As soon as I turned around, the horse disappeared. Horse thieves are so hateful!"

Meng Zhenzhi smiled and said, "This horse is Yu'er's treasure. You lost his horse, so you have to figure out how to apologize."

It was just a joke, but Liu Dazhuang took it seriously, showing some embarrassment, looked at Chu Yu and said with guilt, "I'm sorry, brother, I was too careless, it's all my fault."

Chu Yu turned to look at Meng Zhenzhi dissatisfied, "Are you still in the mood to make fun of him?"

Meng Zhenzhi laughed a few times, and patted Liu Dazhuang's head, "You really have an elm head, all right, go find the horse before it is taken away."

Liu Dazhuang nodded, patted his chest, and promised, "I will definitely bring it back."

After saying that, he ran away again.

Chu Yu stood up, "I still don't feel relieved to let him look for me alone, let's look for it together."

The smile on the corner of Meng Zhenzhi's mouth faded a little, and he asked casually, "You really care about that horse, just because it's your second brother's horse?"

Chu Yu ignored him, put on the bamboo hat and ran out in a hurry.

Meng Zhenzhi clicked his tongue, and followed him lazily.

Just as Chu Yu left the room, he ran into Jiang Xing. Jiang Xing grabbed his sleeve, "I accidentally heard you talking outside just now, and I can help you find it."

Chu Yu froze for a moment, frowned, and said in disapproval, "You don't know Tayun, you'd better go back to your room and rest, we can just find it."

There was already a mixed bag here, if he encountered any troubles again, they would be even more exhausted.

Jiang Xing shook his head, and said firmly, "Although I can't see it, I can probably sense the horse you're looking for, so I can take it as a reward, okay?"

Seeing him like this, Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then we will search separately, you and Brother Meng together."

It happened that Meng Zhenzhi walked out slowly when he heard these words, he immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I will definitely take good care of brother Xing."

Before Jiang Xing had time to show his reluctance, Meng Zhenzhi put his arm around his neck, looking like good buddies, "Let's go, don't you want to find a horse, stepping on the clouds is so fierce, sure I don't want to be ridden by others, and it would be bad if I was turned into a horse meat pot when I went late."

He said that he forcibly pulled Jiang Xing away.

Although she was worried about the two of them, it was still important to find a horse, Chu Yu sighed.

He first went to the postmaster of the post station, and after repeatedly emphasizing the value of their lost horse, he was finally taken seriously. He found a few postmen and followed to find the horse.

The inn was not very big, and Chu Yu almost reached the end after walking around.

When returning the same way, he happened to see a few post envoys from the capital sitting on the steps, as if they were discussing what happened in the capital recently.

As soon as Chu Yu dodged, he went around the corner and listened.

One of them sighed while drinking, "The new emperor issued an imperial decree to recruit tens of thousands of long-term workers to the capital to build a palace for him. I heard that the conditions are good. If I don't do this, I really want to try it. It's better than this." Running around in the wind and sun is good."

The other nodded, "This is also a big deal. I heard that a palace bigger than the imperial palace is going to be built."

The others laughed at him in unison, "Have you ever seen how big the palace is?"

The man blushed and said nothing.

A person who had been silent by the side suddenly said, with a worried expression on his face, "Nowadays, there is a severe drought in the southwest, and there has been no harvest for several months in a row. The people have no food to eat, so how can they have the strength to work? At this time, the construction of the palace, isn't it?" A waste of money”

The person standing next to him quickly covered his mouth, looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice, "You dare to say this kind of casual talk about the emperor. If you are reported, aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

After he finished speaking, the other person lowered his voice mysteriously, "I'm telling you, don't say it casually, my family has a distant relative who idles around all day, so his mother sent him to Jianxing Palace, In the end, he never came back, and the higher-ups paid a large sum of money, so there is no follow-up on this matter."

He paused, then continued, "I heard that the man's mother wanted to make trouble, but was suppressed by the government. The old widow couldn't find her son, and couldn't survive alone, so she hanged herself."

The others booed like cicadas after listening, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

The few people were silent for a while, and the person who just started the topic smiled awkwardly, "Tell me, why is the new emperor so anxious to build the palace?"

The person beside him shrugged, "Who knows, if you want to build it, you can build it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with those of us who eat official food. It's just that those who pay taxes are much higher this year than in previous years. Such a I don’t know how many peasants will be forced to death by levying miscellaneous taxes.”

"Okay, you'd better say a few words less."

It is reasonable to know that what they are talking about now is already disrespectful, and it would be bad if someone with a heart listens to it, so they hurriedly chattered and brought this topic to the past.

On the other side, Meng Zhenzhi wandered around in the inn, followed by the reluctant Jiang Xing.

The two stood in front of each other, and no one took the initiative to speak.

After a while, Meng Zhenzhi suddenly asked, "Little blind man, have you seen your own uncle?"

Jiang Xing was silent for a while, then shook his head, "No, what's wrong?"

Meng Zhenzhi smiled, "According to the people in the town, your mother took you to live in the town for several years, and your mother was pregnant by an affair, so she didn't dare to go home, so she had to leave home alone. After being displaced, I finally found a place to live and live, and I have never been back in the past few years, how do you know that your uncle is still alive or has already left Zhangzhou?"

Hearing others talking about his mother, Jiang Xing was still calm, "Although my mother never went back, she was afraid of being punished by her parents, but she had a good relationship with my uncle since childhood, even after they left Zhangzhou, they still exchanged letters all year round. "

"Really?" Meng Zhenzhi nodded thoughtfully, "I don't think your uncle and your mother are on good terms, or if you knew your mother was dying, why would you not come to see her, or send someone to pick her up?" you?"

When Jiang Xing was questioned, he frowned in displeasure, and endured it, "My mother didn't tell my uncle when she got sick, so naturally my uncle didn't know about it, and my mother said that my uncle was busy running around as a merchant. , I probably don't have time."

Meng Zhenzhi nodded with a smile, turned his tone, and asked suddenly, "Actually, your eyes are not blind at all, are you?"

Jiang Xing wanted to answer subconsciously, but when he heard this sentence, he reacted and shut his mouth suddenly.

Meng Zhen looked at him leisurely, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Jiang Xing nodded, "You are right."

Meng Zhenzhi sneered, and mocked, "You tricked Yu'er into sympathizing with you and helping you, don't you feel any guilt at all?"

Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment, bit his lower lip, "Although I'm not blind, I didn't mean to deceive people."

"How do you know?" Jiang Xing asked curiously.

He felt that his outfit was flawless. He had lived in the town for several years and no one had noticed him. He was not blind at all.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhenzhi hooked the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Ah, this, I wasn't sure before, but now I know."

"..."

Jiang Xing gritted his teeth.

The two walked to a guest room, Jiang Xing wanted to say something, but before he could react, Meng Zhenzhi raised his foot and kicked the door open.

He changed his face, "What are you doing?"

There were a few strangers inside, with fierce faces, they all raised their heads, looked at the two weak-looking fair faces at the door, and one of them asked in a hoarse voice, "What's your business?"

Meng Zhenzhi smiled wickedly, and raised his chin, "Excuse me, please return it right away, it is my friend's treasure, and it will be difficult for me to lose it."

Several people looked at each other.

The person who spoke just now sneered, "We don't understand what horse you are talking about, so get out of here."

Meng Zhenzhi turned his head to the side and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Lean back, if I accidentally hurt you, Yu'er will feel bad."

Jiang Xing took a few steps back consciously.

After a stick of incense, several people were put down on the ground. Meng Zhen stepped on the leg of the person who spoke just now, threateningly, "Do you understand now?"

"Can, can, can."

They quickly told where the horse was hidden.

"Tsk, it's over if I said it earlier, and my hands were dirty," Meng Zhenzhi patted the dust on his robe, and kicked the people beside him away.

The man groaned in pain.

Jiang Xing twitched the corners of his mouth, refreshing his understanding of the person in front of him again.

Compared with those strangers who were full of dirty words and rough movements, he felt that this person with elegant manners and well-spoken words was more like a bandit.

"How do you know they stole the horse?"

They just went to look for the postman at the post station, gave a few pieces of money to check the records of the two people's stay, and he actually found the horse thief.

Meng Zhenzhi hooked the corner of his mouth, "Guess."

They went to find Liu Dazhuang and Chu Yu who were still looking for the horse, and talked to them. Liu Dazhuang knew that he had made a mistake, so he immediately volunteered to bring the horse back.

After sending Jiang Xing back to the room, Meng Zhenzhi glanced sideways at Chu Yu who had been absent-minded since they met, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Yu lowered his eyes and shook his head.

He hesitated again and again, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Meng Zhenzhi, do you know about the construction of the new emperor's palace?"

Meng Zhenzhi's face remained unchanged, and the corner of his mouth was still smiling, as if he was not surprised that Chu Yu would know, "Huh? I know, what's wrong."

Chu Yu took a deep breath, raised her head as if she had made up her mind, looked into his eyes and asked, "Then you know?"

"Why did he suddenly want to build a palace?"
