"Daddy!"

Feng Qiao saw the three big dogs pounce over, and hurriedly stretched out his little hand to pull Sanmao's tail, and said urgently: "Da Mao, come back." ”

Sanmao stopped in place, his tail was dragged by the little master, and his mouth whined, while Da Mao and Ermao roared at Liao Chuxiu with their teeth, looking at Feng Dad with round eyes, and then at Feng Qiao, I didn't know who to listen to.

Feng Qizhou was even more angry when he saw this, scooped Feng Qiao up, held it in his arms like when he was a child, covered her mouth and said loudly: "Give me a bite, the bite is so meaty!!"

The three big dogs can't understand human words, but they are extremely sensitive to the word "meat", Qu'er is talking about eating meat in front of them every day, and then feeding them meat, the tips of the three big dogs' ears instantly stand up, and they scream and pounce towards Liao Chuxiu.

Liao Chuxiu didn't think that Feng Qizhou would really let the dog bite him, and when he wanted to leave, his robe had already been bitten by Da Mao, and Er Mao and Sanmao even opened his mouth wide and pounced on his legs, he stretched out his hand and wanted to slap the big dog to death, but when he put his hand down, he remembered that the dog was raised by Feng Qiao, and when he looked up, he saw that although the little girl was covered with her mouth, she whined.

He hurriedly retracted his strength, and did not dare to make a move, so he could only use his internal force to shake away the big dog, turn around and run, while the three big dogs were chattering about meat, yelling and chasing after him.

When Liao Chu finally came down from the wall of Rong Anbo's mansion, the sleeve of his shirt was broken, a piece of the hem of his clothes was bitten off, and there were still dog paw prints on his body, which looked rare and embarrassed.

Before he could stand still, there was a loud laugh from the corner.

Liao Chuxiu raised his head fiercely and swept at Jiang Chong with cold eyes, Jiang Chong held back a smile and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not a subordinate." ”

Three figures came out of the corner, two of them were Shao Jin and Wu Rong, while the other looked at a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, wrapped in a rich robe, and saw him holding his stomach and smiling uncontrollably.

"Today's trip is really not in vain, Zhenyuan Hou Shizi broke into Rong Anbo's Mansion at night, and stole the official artillery workshop just to dance with the dog, Xiao Xiuxiu, do you want me to give you some medicine?"

"Shut up!"

Liao Chuxiu shook his sleeves expressionlessly, resisted the urge to change clothes, thinking that next time he must find a chance to stew the most ruthless and fierce puppy, ignoring the ridicule on Shao Jin and Wu Rong's faces, he looked at Baili Xuan coldly and said, "When did you come to the capital?"

"I just arrived. Bai Li Xuan said with a smile.

Liao Chuxiu looked up at Jiang Chong, and the corners of Jiang Chong's mouth twitched: "Baili Gongzi arrived in the capital three days ago, but he has been living in the Flower Pavilion, and in the evening, the people from the Flower Pavilion came to the door and said that Baili Gongzi owed their family money, and said that if he didn't give it, he would break his legs..."

"So you're here to pay off your debts for me?" Liao Chuxiu raised his eyebrows.

"Don't say that, Xiao Xiuxiu, I miss you, so I will come to see you at night, my friendship with you is as high as the sky, can't you feel my enthusiasm at all?" Bai Li Xuan stepped forward.

Liao Chuxiu took a few steps back to avoid the paw that wanted to climb on his shoulder, and looked at Baili Xuan with a cold face, not infected by his enthusiasm at all, but said coldly: "How much do you owe?"

"No more, no less. ”

Bai Li Xuan stretched out his hand and raised three fingers.

"Three hundred taels?" Liao Chuxiu looked at him suspiciously, with Baili Xuan's previous temperament, would it be so little?

Bai Li Xuan suddenly rubbed his toes a little embarrassed, and said with a shy face: "Three thousand taels...... Gold. ”

Liao Chuxiu turned his head and left: "Jiang Chong, knock him out and send him back to the Flower Pavilion, just say that we don't know each other." ”

Shao Jin and Wu Rong laughed when they heard this, Shao Jin stepped forward and glanced up and down at Liao Chuxiu's embarrassed appearance, and said loudly: "It's really rare to see when the prince of the world is deflated, when did you have such a good heart and actually let Feng Qizhou?"

"In the future, my father-in-law, don't let me please other people's daughters..."

Wu Rong smiled maliciously and said, but before he finished speaking, he bumped into Liao Chuxiu's cold eyes, and hurriedly closed his prestige.

Bai Li Xuan suddenly became interested, and said with a face full of gossip: "Uncle Yue, who, Xiao Xiuxiu's Bing Tuozi actually has someone he likes, which girl is so short-sighted, she can actually look down on him, and she is not afraid to wake up every day to see such a face, and her heart is not going well?"

Liao Chuxiu kicked directly at Baili Xuan: "Do you believe it or not, if you say it again, I'll let you die first?"

Bai Li Xuan jumped out of the way.

Liao Chuxiu glanced at Wu Rong: "Don't look at me with your dirty thoughts, I will treat Qiao'er as my sister." ”

Such a little girl, who can go down to her mouth?

Wu Rong rolled his eyelids, what sister, he Liao Chuxiu didn't have such a good time with his own sister, he gave gifts and set off fireworks, and now he is afraid of hurting other people's "pets" and would rather be bitten by dogs, if he doesn't like it, what is like?

That day when he was in the prison of the Criminal Department, he saw with his own eyes the appearance of the two when they got along, Liao Chuxiu's appearance was so much that he couldn't wait to hold the little girl on the tip of his heart, but when he saw Liao Chuxiu's hard mouth, he didn't bother to debunk it, he was waiting to see the day when Liao Chuxiu slapped himself in the face.

Several people went to Shao Jin's mansion together, and the servants below sent food over, and warmed two pots of wine, and after all the others withdrew, Baili Xuan took a sip of wine and said: "You are still comfortable here, there is wine and meat, where is it like in the medical valley, every day in addition to medicinal food or medicinal food, my eldest brother he can't wait to take me as a medicine person." ”

Shao Jin chuckled: "You can be content, those medicinal foods can't be asked for by others." ”

"You're rare, you're going!" Bai Li Xuan snorted.

"I want to go, but those who trespass into the medical valley will either stay or die, who dares to touch the rules of your medical valley?"

Wu Rong sat cross-legged on the side, listening to the words of the two and said strangely: "It's almost the New Year's Day, why did Baili come to the capital at this time?"

"Xiao Xiuxiu called me. Bai Li Xuan half lay on the table, eating the meat in his mouth, and muttered, "This meat is a little salty." ”

Shao Jin and Wu Rong both looked at Liao Chuxiu, and Liao Chuxiu said lightly: "I have been investigating the cause of my father's death before, and later I found out about the Liu family and the Wen family. ”

"The Liu family and the Wen family?"

Shao Jin frowned and said: "The Liu family and the Wen family were powerful during the reign of the first emperor, but since the new emperor took the throne, the two families have been declining, and now the head of the Liu family, Liu Xiangcheng, has only taken on the idle position of an old Fengge Pavilion, and the Wen family, although Wen Zhenghong is Zheng Guogong, but he has no real power in his hands, Wen Zhenghong is even more slick in the accident, and no one can be offended if it is good, but it is ugly, but it is just a wall grass, and the wind blows wherever it falls, how can they have anything to do with the death of the Marquis of Zhenyuan?"

Liao Chuxiu looked at Wu Rong when he heard this, and said lightly: "What do you think?"

Wu Rong took the wine glass and turned around: "I think those two families are not as simple as they seem, let's talk about the Liu family first, although Liu Xiangcheng is just an old man of Fengge Pavilion, and he has not even discussed politics for a long time, but don't forget, he refused His Majesty's errand to let him take charge of Taixue ten years ago, and went to Hanshan Courtyard instead." ”

"That Hanshan Academy is a place to accommodate the world's poor students, and those who can enter it to study are the best among the scholars of the Hanshan family, and the students of Hanshan Yuanzhong can occupy a place in the annual scientific examination, and those people are almost all Liu Xiangcheng's protégés, although the official positions of the children of the Liu family are not high, but in terms of connections, the Liu family is not inferior to anyone. ”

"As for Wen Zhenghong......"

Wu Rong took a sip of wine, put down the wine glass and said: "Wen Zhenghong may seem a little cowardly on the surface, but in fact it is not, after I served as the secretary of Dali Temple, I have looked through some cases in the years after the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, you may not think that many of the courtiers around the first emperor were more or less convicted for various reasons after our majesty ascended the throne. ”

"At least the official position is turbulent, deposed from Beijing, and the worst is the life is not guaranteed, and the whole family is exiled, but the Wen family, which was deeply trusted by His Majesty back then, has survived, Wen He is the most relied on minister by the side of the first emperor, how can Your Majesty let them go?"

"I was very strange at the time, so I deliberately inquired with some old ministers in the court, and learned that in the year of His Majesty's accession to the throne, the Wen family was indeed suppressed by His Majesty, and His Majesty even wanted to kill the Wen family, but the strange thing is that when the Wen family was shaking and looking at it, His Majesty suddenly stopped, not only retained the title of Duke Zheng Guo, but also did not even make a move against the Wen family later. ”

"Wen Zhenghong has not sought to be motivated these years, he is sleek, not necessarily his true nature, Zheng Guogong's Mansion can stand, but it is definitely not a wall grass that can be kept, and I remember that Zheng Guogong's Mansion and the Liu family still have in-laws, Wen Zhenghong's stepmother, the old lady of Zhengguo's Mansion is from the Liu family. ”

Baili Xuan was used to being at ease, and he had never been interested in the affairs of the court, and after listening to Wu Rong's words, he asked Liao Chuxiu while eating: "So Xiao Xiuxiu, do you suspect that the Liu family and the Wen family harmed the Marquis of Zhenyuan?"

Liao Chuxiu nodded.

"What is the reason? Marquis Zhenyuan has no grudge against them, at the time of the war that year, Marquis Zhenyuan was so defeated, if it was really their hands, there should always be a reason, right?" Shao Jin wondered.

Liao Chuxiu: "The reason is very simple, my father has been investigating the cause of the death of the first emperor, as well as the whereabouts of the first emperor's seal, before the war of South Vietnam, he already had a clue, he was ready to deal with the matter after returning from the war, but he didn't expect to die in it." ”

"My mother said that my father had mentioned this matter to her back then, saying that Emperor Yongzhen's accession to the throne was probably a rebellion, and do you remember Zheng Chunsheng?"

Shao Jin frowned and said, "What are you talking about, the deputy general who fled from the battlefield next to the Marquis of Zhenyuan back then?"

"It's him, when his father led the troops to fight in a bloody battle, Zheng Chunsheng escaped from the battlefield and took away all the reinforcements, although he kept saying that his father died on the battlefield, but I didn't believe it, I checked him for a long time, he never showed his feet, until the last time I used his son to discuss the matter of the Guo family, let the old lady Deliu come in, let him and Zheng Guogong's mansion have a gap, he showed some flaws. ”

That time in Jiyun Temple, Wen Luxian beat Zheng Jiasanlang, Wen Zhenghong and Mrs. Liu, in order to clean up the aftermath for Wen Luxian, personally took Zheng Qin's outer room and children to the door, forcing Zheng Chunsheng to loosen his mouth and no longer pursue the beating of his son.

At that time, this matter was very troublesome, the Zheng family and the Wen family should have made a feud, and the Zheng family also suffered from the Guo family, but who would have thought that within a few days, Wen Zhenghong would come forward in person and join forces with the Zheng family to suppress the matter, and Mrs. Liu also personally sought out Mrs. Guo to make peace for the Zheng family.

If there is nothing strange in it, how can it be?

Wen Zhenghong and Mrs. Liu are not soft-hearted people!

Liao Chuxiu's eyes showed some murderous intent, his fingers moved slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to touch the Buddha beads on his wrist, but he didn't remember until his fingers fell into the air that he had already given the Buddha beads to Feng Qiao.

Thinking of the little girl who smiled softly, the murderous intent in his eyes spread, and he withdrew his hand and rubbed the clothes and said: "Zheng Chunsheng has recently been promoted two levels in a row, and his younger brother has also been transferred back from outside Beijing and joined the Ministry of Officials. ”

"Zheng Chunsheng should have some handle in his hand to coerce the two of them, so that Dewen and the Liu family can help him, but he is a military general and has no dealings with Wenchen, except for the defeat of the Southern Expedition that year, I can't think of anything else he can use as a handle to blackmail them. ”

The three people in the room listened to Liao Chuxiu's words, and their faces were thoughtful.

If what Liao Chuxiu said is correct, then the sudden defeat of Marquis Zhenyuan back then may really have nothing to do with the Wen family and the Liu family.

Baili Xuan Hang'er Lang said: "Xiao Xiuxiu, you have always had revenge, since you have found so much, it stands to reason that you should have done it a long time ago, but you let that Chun live, and you didn't move the Wen family and the Liu family, so there are others behind them?"

Shao Jin also said on the side: "Yes, since the Wen family and the Liu family have done so many things, they must have a plan, so that they can be so careful to disguise their actions, and even secretly communicate with Wu Fu, nine times out of ten is related to the throne and succession, who are they supporting, the eldest prince or the fourth prince, or King Xiang?"

Liao Chuxiu shook his head: "Neither." ”

"No, how is it possible, there are only three of them in the court who hope to be able to ascend the throne, and the other princes are either still young, or their talents are not enough and their backgrounds are too low, since they want to assist the new emperor, they must always pick a hopeful one, right?" Shao Jinjian frowned.

Wu Rong next to him had a slightly gloomy face, he had been thinking about Liao Chuxiu's words just now, thinking about what had happened during this time, a strange thought flashed in his mind, and he suddenly looked up at Bai Lixuan, who was lying on the table and eating meat, and stared at Liao Chuxiu in astonishment: "The person you are talking about, it shouldn't be the Eighth Prince, right?!"

"The Eighth Prince?!"

Shao Jin almost didn't sit still: "Don't make trouble, the eighth prince is a sick man, he stays in Yiyuntai almost all year round to recuperate, does not enter the palace, does not enter the court, does not interact with anyone, I have been guarding the forbidden palace for several years, the number of times the eighth prince has entered the palace can be counted, and His Majesty has been looking for famous doctors all over the world for him, I heard that his illness may not live to twenty, don't be kidding, how can the Wen family and the Liu family assist him..."
