On the altar, Yao Zhi saw that the crowd could be divided into a way, it was strange, he was about to frown and shout angrily, but when he saw the son Mu Sheng, who was dressed in a brocade robe, with a golden crown and tied hair, and a long jade body, he looked stunned, and he was busy changing his complexion, so he saluted on the altar and said, "The Second Highness has come from afar, and the lower officials have lost their welcome." ”

Hearing this, the people of the county on all sides were stunned, and the three old witches on the altar hurriedly knelt down, and in the blink of an eye, they knelt on the ground in the dark.

Gongzi Musheng glanced at it lightly, and then waved his hand to let the group get up. Turning his eyes, he only squinted at Yao Zhi, who had a tight skin on the altar, but was extremely frivolous, unhurried, and asked pretending not to know, "What's the matter, Yao's Mansion is doing a happy event."

Hearing this, Wu Zhu and the three elders on the altar were all the same, but Yao Zhi saw that the prince Mu Sheng's expression was calm and not dissatisfied, so he settled down a little, and replied, "Your Royal Highness doesn't know that the river god here likes beautiful women the most, and only by sending a beautiful woman to him can the wind and rain be smooth and the five grains be abundant." ”

"Oh, it's Hebo marrying a woman" Gongzi Mu Sheng smiled slightly, and his handsome figure was like a backlit painting. He took a deep look at Yao Zhi, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with interest: "Interesting, this Hebo is also greedy for women, if this is the case, he can avoid disasters, and the world should take you as an example."

Hearing the appreciation in Gongzi Mu Sheng's tone, Yao Zhi's eyes showed suspicion. When he recalled that his son Mu Sheng had always been gentle and unpleasant, he thought that he was in a hurry to find a good thing to show his merit to the king, so he relaxed his guard and showed joy on his face.

But the people of Fengyin County all had bitter faces, and their eyes showed a little bit of death.

In a poor and remote place like Fengling County, it is rare for a big person to come for more than ten years. But now, it was hard to wait for the presence of the Second Highness, and the Second Highness not only did not eliminate harm for the people, but punished Yao Zhi, a dog official who killed people and did not pay for his life, but was full of interest in Yao Zhi. In this way, how not to make them feel disappointed and embarrassed from the bottom of their hearts.

In this way, there was finally a bold man who shouted indignantly, "Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are like dogs, saints are unkind, and people are dogs."

But before his voice could shock the four directions, it had stopped abruptly, and the servants who came from behind him dragged him sideways in an instant, and his head was a cruel stick.

In this regard, Gongzi Musheng's expression was faint, and he was even more unaware, but he waved his hand happily and sneered at Yao Zhi, "The poor mountains and bad waters are out of the people, and it is also bitter that you have been here for a long time." Immediately afterward, he looked at the sedan chair carried on the altar, and strode onto the altar while curious, "I don't know how beautiful this woman of the river is."

Seeing this scene, unlike the absurdity and helplessness of the county residents, they were indignant. Wearing a hat and supporting Zhou Rushui hidden in the crowd by Shu Ying, he smiled slightly, and his bright eyes were bent into crescents. The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she couldn't help but say in a low voice, "Brother is so angry, this is starting to play monkey"

Sure enough, on the altar, Gongzi Mu Sheng lifted the curtains, frowned, turned his head to glare at Yao Zhi, and said angrily, "This is also stunning, you can be so perfunctory to Hebo" Saying, his eyebrows were cold, and his whole body was awe-inspiring, and he raised his foot and kicked Wu Zhu, who was still stunned, into the muddy water

。

The spring is cold and steep, the river is cold and biting, and under the bright sun, there is a sudden sound of birdsong. Wu Zhu, who had "vast magical powers", went down to the river for no reason, and struggled on the surface of the water for a while, but he couldn't withstand the extreme cold and quickly sank to the bottom.

Everyone was stunned, but Gongzi Mu Sheng had a faint expression, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yao Zhi, and said coldly, "It is rumored that Wu Zhu has vast magical powers, and the upper can reach the sky and the lower can reach the earth." Since he is profound, he has the eye of heaven. He allowed him half a pillar of incense to go down and talk to Hebo, saying that although this girl is beautiful, she is not stunning. The people of this county are outstanding and will definitely be able to find a more beautiful appearance. At this point, he smiled again, but he smiled distinctly, but there was no smile in his eyes.

The hour of half a pillar of incense has passed, and the muddy water is dead and silent, and there is no movement at all. Everyone knew in their hearts that Wu Zhu was afraid that he had drowned.

Yao Zhi's brows have been twisted since Wu Zhu fell into the water, and a layer of dark clouds has floated in his heart. But although he secretly thought that this son Mu Sheng was not quite right, he was lucky for a while, so he stood aside with cold hands and feet, and did not make a sound.

On the contrary, the three elders all shivered, seeing that the hour of half a pillar of incense had passed, and Wu Zhu had not come out of the water, so he rushed to the front and shirked: "Your Royal Highness, this is no wonder for us, for the sake of the peace of Fengyin County, we are really well-intentioned, and the world can learn from it, and we have to blame these fools, they are selfish, they only know how to hide their good daughter, and they don't care about the overall situation." That's what makes this woman of the river not stunning."

Such a prevarication is really a big joke in the world. Zhong Yan smiled coldly from the crowd and scolded, "Your niece is stunning, why is she content in the boudoir and doesn't serve Hebo?"

Hearing this, Gongzi Mu Sheng glanced at him lightly, and a very faint light flashed in his eyes that had always been as calm as a deep pool. After a while, he saw that he turned his eyes, his expression was very calm, and he looked at the water very indifferently and said, "The hour of half a pillar of incense has passed, I'm afraid that Wu Zhu can't defend himself, and Hebo won't let him go." As he spoke, his long eyelashes moved slightly, and suddenly, he looked at the third elder happily and said with a faint smile, "In this heaven and earth, I think of the elders and the young." Since the three elders are highly respected, they will go down to relieve Wu Zhu and explain it to Hebo."

This time, before he could make a move himself, he saw the two attendants fly forward and kick the three elders into the river mercilessly, which was not enough, but also smashed the boulder used to crush the bride on the stage.

Seeing this, Yao Zhi couldn't wake up, and his original smiling look immediately faded cleanly, swallowed his saliva, and hid behind the officials, crossed his neck to the prince Mu Sheng, and shouted conclusively, "This official is the king's pro-title, His Royal Highness can't be ordered by the king, and he can't punish the court officials privately."

Hearing him say this, Gongzi Mu Sheng smiled lazily, staring at Yao Zhi's rampant appearance, whether it was the aura around him or the sneering expression, there was indescribable arrogance and indifference. He stood on the altar with a long body, approached Yao Zhi step by step, and repeated with a serious expression, "Do you know what an official is an official of the imperial court?"

At this point, his gaze skimmed over Yao Zhi and looked under the altar.

At that time, the sky was blue and the earth was vast. There are many people on the red carpet spread all over the ground, and the red lanterns are swaying in the wind, there is no festivity, only loneliness. Seeing this, Gongzi Mu Sheng's eyes were also full of Xiao Suo, so he listened to him word by word, and said very seriously, "Official, office, envoy, public." The officials are the kings, the public obeys the people, establishes their hearts for heaven and earth, and establishes their lives for the people. But what you have done is in vain as an official and as a human being."

Gongzi Musheng's words are not serious, and the county citizens who were still depressed have also woken up, and they are all very excited. Those who were bold even scolded loudly, "Second Highness, this dog official has no evil in human life, please give us justice."

"God opened his eyes and begged His Royal Highness to send this dog official down to the river"

At this moment, the official who was still in front of Yao Zhi in the form of a guard suddenly turned against the water, and swarmed the torture staff on Yao Zhi's body, making him kneel in front of Gongzi Mu Sheng

。

Seeing this, Gongzi Mu Sheng did not move like a mountain, but he looked at this change lightly, and his shallow smile was also dyed with cold light, and he sneered at Yao Zhi word by word, "You are an official of the imperial court, collect taxes privately, and disregard people's lives, and you should be punished with a rod first according to the law." As for the rest of the matter, I will slowly settle it with you one by one. After speaking, because he looked at Zhou Rushui, who was slowly approaching with support, he didn't want to say more, turned around and walked under the altar.

But Yao knew where he was willing to obey, he struggled to get up, and shouted more and more arrogantly: "I am the official of the court, not the order of the king, I will never be humiliated by the rod, you are so reckless, it is better to kill me."

Hearing this, Gongzi Musheng paused and slowly turned his head. Suddenly, he smiled lightly, and a faint wave of water rippled in his dark eyes. The smile was very light, as faint as a deep spring flowing quietly. But the curvature of the corners of his mouth is full of clarity and mockery. This demeanor is similar to the gentle he used to be.

After a while, I saw that he was in the right color, and his sharp eyes slid over the onlookers one by one, and he said loudly with cold eyes, "For me, my family and country are not just for squandering. My Zhou clan has been prudent for generations, and I will never tolerate you, a moth that plagues the people. The rod is the law of the country, but it is your request to die. Since you seek death with all your heart, you will do what you want. After that, he gave the order to go down, first punish with a cane, and then behead Yao Zhi on the altar.

For a time, the voice of Fengyin County shook the sky, and all the county citizens were overjoyed, tears were in tears, I don't know who started the head, and the county people knelt down again, but this time, they knelt willingly. They were chanting "God has eyes, His Highness Wanfu Chitose Chitose"

Seeing this, Zhou Rushui stood steadily under the altar, and suddenly, his head was slightly crooked, he smiled, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Zhenwei'an doesn't know, which family's sister-in-law has this good fortune."

As she was saying this, Gongzi Musheng had already approached, and he bent down and hugged Zhou Rushui directly. Helplessly and distressedly, he stared at Zhou Rushui's almost transparent little face through the hat, pursed his lips, and finally reproached in a low voice, "My legs are broken, but I also run around." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhou Rushui still smiled softly. The cheers around were deafening, the people who knelt on the ground and thanked were in tears, looking at the vast sky, Zhou Rushui stretched out her hand, and she carefully pulled the sleeves of her son's Mu Sheng's robe. After a while, his hands naturally wrapped around Gongzi Musheng's neck, rubbed him lightly as when he was a child, and comforted him softly and glutinously, "Although the leg is broken, it will be fine." Just like in this world today, although the heart of heaven is unpredictable and the world is like frost, because there is still a brother, the son's heart is stable. ”

First, because of the turmoil in Fengyin County, and second, because of Zhou Rushui's leg injury, the brother and sister stayed in Fengyin County for half a month. These days, the Left Guards have also returned to Zhou Rushui's side, and the men are all treating Zhou Rushui differently when they see Zhou Rushui now, and they are all a lot more respectful. It was Jiong Qi who saw her, although she was far away, she could still see guilt in her eyes. The extra care for no reason made Zhou Rushui feel uncomfortable. But Jiong Qi's guilt was not unreasonable, after all, that day, Zhou Rushui was the only one guarding him, but he couldn't protect it, which was dereliction of duty.

Since that day, the news has changed day by day. First because Zhou Rushui was recuperating from her injuries, Gongzi Musheng refused to let her talk about the changes outside, but now seeing that she finally got off the ground by herself, Jiong Qi finally did not escape her interrogation.

Outside, the sun was in full bloom, and the graceful outline of Zhou Rushui seemed to be plated with a thin halo in the sun.

Jiong Qi stood in front of her with his eyes down, detailing the disasters and casualties of the various families in detail. When he preached, "Yesterday, news came out from the Langya Palace, saying that Wang Jian and Wang Sanlang were ambushed on the way back, and Wang Sanlang was seriously injured and suffered from chronic illness, which seems to be not very good. At that time, Zhou Rushui, who was still closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly raised his face, and his flawless face suddenly turned a little whiter.

She bit her lip, and only after a while did she blink her smart and delicate apricot eyes, small
