What's wrong?
If he could, he hated to have to rub the girls around him into his bones and blood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"I'm probably having another cold attack. The young general said pitifully.
Qiao Zhao raised his hand, covered his forehead, and muttered, "Impossible. β
His cold poison is obviously almost cured, and after a while, he will no longer even need acupuncture, how can he have an inexplicable attack?
Shao Mingyuan closed his eyes, extremely greedy for the temperature on the other party's hand, but he knew that if he continued like this, he would really turn into a hungry wolf and scare his little girl away, so he hurriedly took a step back and withdrew from the artificial cave.
"Zhaozhao, the night is heavy, let's investigate quickly. He relit the lamp he had brought, turned his back, and saw the grass crushed by the pool by the light of the lantern left by the man and woman fleeing in a panic.
The voices I had heard before suddenly rang in my ears again.
Shao Mingyuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He left home at a young age and stayed in the Northland for seven years, and he has never seen any kind of scene, let alone a tryst between two men and women, or a scene where several men ravage a woman at the same time.
For those, apart from his deep disgust, he never had the slightest wave in his heart. But when he was alone in the narrow cave with the girl he loved, those voices became the strongest aphrodisiac, and his self-control suddenly collapsed.
He used to feel that men love women, but so, he killed his wife with his own hands, and he didn't plan to get contaminated again in his life. Why is he looking forward to it now?
His Zhaozhao is too small now.
The young general thought worriedly.
Qiao Zhao searched every corner of the rockery, but found nothing, leaned on the mountain wall and closed his eyes, and the sketch in his mind was presented as it was, contrasting with the rockery he was currently in.
From the outside, every line undulation is the same...... And so on -
Qiao Zhao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand and gently knocked on the mountain wall.
She started knocking and stopping from one place, and suddenly stopped somewhere, knocked twice to make sure that the sound was different, and lifted the Qi Death Wind Lantern Boy to examine it carefully, and finally she found the clue.
Qiao Zhao used his strength to pry up the stones in that place.
It turned out to be hollow, and inside was a cloth bag.
"General Shao, I found it!" Qiao Zhao's slightly excited voice came out.
Shao Mingyuan bent in: "Don't be in a hurry to open it, show me first." β
I don't know the root of things, it's better to be careful.
"I'll do it anyway, I know how to pay attention to this. Qiao Zhao took out a pair of thin silk gloves from his purse, put them on, and opened the cloth bag.
Inside the cloth bag is a thin oiled paper bag, and when you open the oiled paper bag, you will reveal your true face: it is a thin account book.
Qiao Zhao's eyes shrank.
It turned out to be another account book.
The account book in the eldest brother's hand recorded evidence of the embezzlement of military salaries by the anti-Japanese general Xing Wuyang, so what is recorded in this account book now?
Qiao Zhao picked up the ledger and flipped through it quickly, his face gradually became solemn, and his hand holding the ledger was trembling.
"Zhaozhao, what's written on it?"
Qiao Zhao turned his head to look at Shao Mingyuan, and said word by word: "The record of collusion between some officials and wealthy families in the southern coastal areas and the Japanese bandits!"
A cold light suddenly flashed in Shao Mingyuan's eyes.
It turned out to be such an account book, which was much more shocking than the account book presented to the emperor by my uncle.
If this account book is presented to the emperor, will the Son of Heaven, who is bent on pursuing immortality and unwilling to see trouble, let go of it lightly?
"Let's go back first. Shao Mingyuan patted Qiao Zhao's hand.
Qiao Zhao shook his head: "No, wait first." β
Shao Mingyuan looked sideways at the girl who was close at hand, and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Qiao Zhao had already lowered his eyes and turned the first page of the ledger, and said, "I'll memorize it and then go." β
After going through so many things, she understands the words "long nights and dreams" too well, and such important things are not safe in her mind wherever they are placed.
The girl stretched out her long, white fingers and swiped them across the account book.
"General Shao, move the lamp closer. β
Shao Mingyuan was reluctant to disturb her, and silently brought the lamp closer.
The light is brighter, and the faster the girl can flip through it.
Shao Mingyuan stared at her intently
He thought, there is no smarter girl in this world than Zhaozhao.
Turning to the last page, Qiao Zhao closed the account book and wrapped it again: "Let's go." β
Back in the Tofu Xi Shi house, Qiao Zhao handed the account book to Shao Mingyuan: "I have memorized the contents of the account book, and the account book will be handed over to you for safekeeping, it is safer on you than on me." β
Although they haven't slept until now, the two of them have no sleep because they got the account books.
"General Shao, what do you think the emperor will do if he sees this account book?"
Shao Mingyuan thought for a while and said, "Your heart is unpredictable. Although the things recorded in this account book are astonishing, it is still possible that the emperor may think that as long as there is no chaos along the southern coast, these small interests that need to be given up in his opinion are harmless. β
Qiao Zhao pursed his lips tightly, and his heart was filled with anger.
Her father has been in the court for many years, and as the imperial history of Zuo Du, how could he not know the temperament of today's son?
But he still did so, taking a huge risk to accept two account books, and finally ended up ruining his family.
Is it because my father is stupid? Naively thinking that when my son sees the account books today, he will definitely bring the silverfish of the country to justice?
No.
Her father may not have the freedom of his grandfather, but he was by no means a fool.
It's just that he is in his position to seek his own government, adhering to the sage teaching of "ministers and kings are loyal".
However, if the minister is loyal, how can the king make the minister courteous?
She respects her father's choice, but she is not worth it for her father, for the Qiao family, and for the thousands of courtiers who are loyal to the king!
"Zhaozhao, don't be discouraged. The man next to her patted her arm gently.
Qiao Zhao came back to his senses.
Shao Mingyuan's dark eyes flashed with an inevitable light: "In the past, there was the account book of Xing Wuyang's embezzlement of military salaries, and then there was the account book of collusion between the rich officials and the Japanese in the southern coastal area. β
"What do you meanβ"
Shao Mingyuan smiled: "It's just that you are going to the South China Sea to collect medicine, let's see with our own eyes what is like over there." β
Isn't the emperor afraid of trouble, what if there is already chaos in the south?
Whitewashing the scales is not really peaceful after all, and when the situation in the south is so serious that it shakes the foundation of the Great Liang, he doesn't believe that the Son of Heaven, who pursues immortality in vain and tries to enjoy the world forever, will remain indifferent!
"Okay, let's find out the murderer that Tie Zhu has seen first, and then leave for the South China Sea immediately. β
Early the next morning, Baiyun Village suddenly became lively.
Dead!
