Chapter 1338: The Last Temptation

With the unfavorable fighting ahead, the price of grain has doubled, and in just three days, the price of grain has increased fivefold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info When food goes up, everything else naturally starts to rise, and some people go to grab what they don't eat, and no one dares to go to the street to buy food, because even if they buy food, they will be robbed.

Brother Zheng was robbed on the way back from the academy. Brother Zheng felt that life was more important than money, so he was very cooperative, not only letting the little guy take out his wallet, but also giving the other party all the valuable things on his body. The other party was also asking for money, and when he saw this, he took something and left.

Yurong was so frightened that he lost half his life: "From today onwards, I can't go anywhere, so I stay at home." ”

In fact, there is no need for Yurong to say, after this incident, Brother Zheng didn't dare to go out: "Mother, this time is even more fierce than last year." "Although there was a lot of trouble last year, the security on the streets was still fine. But now there are people robbing him on the street, and he is also afraid.

Yurong hurriedly called Mr. Gao over and said, "Mr. Gao, should we leave here?" ”

Mr. Gao shook his head and said, "The Northwest Army has already reached Shimen, and the news has now spread. Now the people outside are so panicked and chaotic that it is not suitable to go out for the time being. ”

"What then? Are you just waiting? "She doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

Mr. Gao said: "The imperial court will not let them make trouble like this, and will definitely take measures soon, and when it is calmer outside, we will move over." ”

Although Mr. Gao is old, with him, Yurong is equivalent to having a backbone: "I listen to you, sir." ”

Yan Wushuang naturally would not let the capital go into chaos, and soon transferred the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the forward battalion into the capital. In addition to the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Tie Kui, 100,000 horses patrolled all corners of the capital. Caught and killed on the spot by the traitor section. Under this kind of iron and blood, no matter how thief-minded people are, they will not dare to make any changes.

Zhong Shantong said: "Master, do you think the emperor will bring the Xiaocai camp back to Liaodong?" ”

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. "Fang Xiaofeng is Yan Wushuang's henchman, so he didn't let Fang Xiaofeng get stained with the blood of innocent people.

After a pause, Tie Kui said: "Fang Xiaofeng shouldn't stay, but I don't know who the emperor will let stay." ”

Zhong Shantong said: "No matter who it is, it will not voluntarily stay." "Leaving a dead end, no one wants to stay in this situation. Therefore, Tie Kui also showed a posture of reluctance to stay.

Tie Kui hummed and said, "I can't do anything at this time. "If there is a slight mistake, the pool will be discovered by Yan Wushuang. After being cautious for so many years, he didn't want to capsize at the last minute.

After talking about business, Zhong Shantong said: "Aunt Lu has been brought back, and now she lives back in the original courtyard." ”

Tie Kui snorted and said, "I'll go see her later." "If it weren't for Fang Hui and Fang Jia, he wouldn't want to see Aunt Lu at all.

Aunt Lu has been in Zhuangzi for a few months, not only is she not haggard, but she is in a lot of energy.

Tie Kui said: "Ah Tong has already told you, right? The emperor asked Fang Hui and Fang Jia to go to Shengjing, but I was worried that there would be no one to take care of them on the way, so I asked you to follow. ”

Aunt Lu didn't answer this, but looked directly at Tie Kui. The look was complicated, inquisitive and confused.

Tie Kui frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

After being silent for a long time, Aunt Lu asked, "Why don't Mrs., the eldest girl and the second girl go to Shengjing?" ”

"Why don't you know? If it weren't for you, how could Madame's body still be sick by now? When he said this, Tie Kui had an angry face. Although Xiao Shi did not worry about his life, eating so much saffron caused great harm to his body, and even if he recovered, his body was not as good as before.

Aunt Lu stared at Tie Kui and asked, "Is this really the case?" Without waiting for Tie Kui to speak, Aunt Lu said: "I have been thinking a lot about Zhuangzi during this time. Master, you obviously don't love money, but you show that you regard money as your life. obviously doesn't like me, but he still has to show that he spoils his concubine and kills his wife. He is also very cautious and unusually cautious on weekdays, and he is also extremely vigilant against the emperor......"

The more Tie Kui listened, the more ugly his face became, and finally he couldn't help but interrupt Aunt Lu's words: "What are you crazy about?" If you don't want to go to Shengjing, just say it. ”

Aunt Lu didn't seem to hear this, and continued: "Master, I have been with you for so many years. I used to hope that you could spoil me and love me, so many things were deliberately ignored by me. Sir, who are you? ”

When Tie Kui heard this, he looked impatient: "Who do you think I am?" ”

Aunt Lu said: "You are King Ming's person, and you took refuge in King Ming a long time ago, right?" When she said this, Aunt Lu's voice didn't lower. It can also be seen from this point that Aunt Lu is resentful.

Tie Kui's face turned blue and said, "Do you know what will happen to me if this is known to outsiders?" You hate me like this, you hate me so much that you want me to die? ”

Aunt Lu didn't expect Tie Kui to admit it at all, Tie Kui had been cautious for so many years, and she was not so naΓ―ve to think that she could deceive it with two sentences: "I didn't want to tell the truth, I just wanted to save Fang Hui and Fang Jia's lives." ”

Tie Kui said coldly: "I am so old that I only have two children, Ah Hui and Ah Jia, if they have one, our Tie family will be the last." The meaning is very simple, he is these two sons, and he will definitely keep them.

Aunt Lu was not at ease and said, "Ruyi and Ruhui must follow us to Shengjing." ”

Tie Kui had lost his patience and said, "If you don't want to go to Shengjing with you, I won't force you." With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Aunt Lu made a concession: "Then let Ruhui go with you." "The thing she hates the most is Ruhui. If she followed them to Shengjing, she could let out the evil anger in her heart on the way.

Disgust flashed in Tie Kui's eyes: "If you want, pack up your things, and take Fang Hui and Fang Jia away in three days." If you don't want to, the three **** will send you to Zhuangzi again. ”

Aunt Lu said unrelentingly: "Aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor to tell the truth?" ”

Maybe Aunt Lu guessed something, but she had no evidence. Before the poisoning of Xiao's family, it was difficult for people to believe what she said.

Tie Kui said: "You can tell the emperor these words and see if the emperor will believe you?" "Aunt Lu hasn't seen anything abnormal in Tiefu for so many years, but when she went to Zhuangzi and found an abnormality, Yan Wushuang won't believe her words, she will only think that she is for revenge.

Aunt Lu was so angry that her face turned purple.

Tie Kui said without a trace of warmth in his eyes: "The last time I spared you, it was for Ah Hui and Ah Jia's sake. If you dare to do anything again, I want your life. ”

Aunt Lu shuddered in fright.

The maid Shui Yin walked in and was startled when she looked at Lu's appearance: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”

Aunt Lu held Shui Yin's hand and said, "I just told you about your suspicions, and the lord asked me to tell the emperor these words." "Outsiders see that Shui Yin was brought into the house by Aunt Lu, but in fact, Shui Yin is Yan Wushuang's person.

Shui Yin asked with some disbelief, "Really?" ”

Aunt Lu's face was tired: "You should have heard my conversation with the master outside just now." If you don't believe me, I can't help it. She didn't even lower her voice to talk to Tie Kui just now, but Tie Kui's voice was as loud as usual. Not to mention that Shui Yin has martial arts, even ordinary people can hear it clearly.

Shui Yin hummed and said, "I will return to the emperor later." She was a little suspicious of Tie Kui, but there was no evidence, and suspicion alone was far from enough.

Aunt Lu took Shui Yin's hand and said, "Ayin, you can go to Shengjing with me!" In this way, we also have a companion on the road. "Aunt Lu is dead to Tie Kui, and she doesn't expect the love of husband and wife anymore, and now she just wants to keep her two sons safe and sound.

Shui Yin shook his head and said, "Auntie, you should know that this is not for me to decide. "Everything has to be arranged by the people above.

Tie Kui returned to the study with a black face, and then the room was half-loud and silent. After half a ring, Tie Kui called Zhong Shantong into the house.

"Master, Aunt Lu will leave in two days, no matter what she says, don't worry about her." I don't know if I can come back alive.

Tie Kuido is a shrewd person, and the more he thinks about it on the way back, the more he feels that things are not right. Aunt Lu is a smart person, even if she suspects that she will never say these words for the sake of her two sons. Unless, someone forced her.

The person who can persecute Aunt Lu, except for Yan Wushuang, there is no second person.

Zhong Shantong's face changed greatly: "Master, so Yan Wushuang suspects us?" After speaking, Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be?" "They were so careful during this time that they even cut off contact with the falcon.

Tie Kui showed a sneering look on his face and said, "If I didn't guess, I'm afraid that I am not the only one who is playing such a drama here." ”

Zhong Shantong didn't understand.

Tie Kui said: "Yan Wushuang should be testing me. If I have a ghost in my heart, I can't stay calm at this time. If you are in a hurry, it is easy to make mistakes. "Once you get caught, I'm afraid the whole family will follow and finish playing.

"Master, in this situation, there should be many people in the court who have secretly taken refuge in King Ming." I just don't know if this Gui Sanliang has taken refuge in King Ming. If you take refuge and don't keep your composure at this time, it will be a dead end.

Tie Kui shook his head and said: "Although Gui Sanliang is lustful, he is very filial, and his parents, wife, children and relatives are all in Liaodong. Therefore, he will never take refuge in King Ming. ”

Zhong Shantong nodded: "Master, the water sound next to Aunt Lu is also Yan Wushuang's person." Aunt Lu is the biological mother of the eldest young master and the second young master, so naturally she will not harm them. But the sound of the water is inaccurate. ”

Tie Kui said, "Wait for the road, let our people get rid of her on the road." "Aunt Lu is the mother of his two sons, and no matter how disgusted she is, she will not want her to die. But he won't tolerate this water sound.

Gui Sanliang did not take refuge in King Ming, but his favorite concubine was a good fortune. Gui Sanliang told the concubine some things that shouldn't be said, and the concubine took the news to sell for money. After this matter was found out, the concubine, Gui Sanliang cut off her head with a knife, and then carried the concubine's head to Yan Wushuang to plead guilty.

Now that this is an eventful time, Yan Wushuang did not take him captive from his official position, but just scolded him: "If there is a next time, you will definitely have your head." ”

Gui Sanliang thought that he was in a catastrophe, but he didn't expect to pass the test so easily: "Thank Emperor Longen." ”

After Meng Nian knew about this, he said to Yan Wushuang: "Your Majesty, our people tested Tie Kui and didn't find anything wrong. ”

Yan Wushuang wasn't surprised, but just asked, "What do you think of letting Gui Sanliang stay in the capital?" Although Tiekui didn't have any problems, he still didn't feel at ease. Sometimes, intuition is really scary.

Meng Nian disagreed: "Your Majesty, Tie Kui is now also Tie Fanghui and Tie Fangjia's two sons. I don't think he would dare betray it. Seeing that Yan Wushuang's expression remained unchanged, Meng Nian said: "Imperial Doctor Zhang said that Tie Kui has injured the foundation, even if he takes the medicine given by the emperor, it will be difficult to have any heirs in the future." ”

Yan Wushuang's expression changed slightly: "Can Tie Kui know about this?" ”

Meng Nian nodded and said, "Imperial Physician Zhang told him, but Tie Kui said that he already has two sons and two daughters, and it doesn't matter if he can't have any more heirs." This is also the thinking of normal people.

Yan Wushuang didn't speak.

Meng Nian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't worry about Tie Kui, just leave Gui Sanliang to defend the city with him." ”

Yan Wushuang said: "Tie Kui is extremely thoughtful, if he really has different intentions, Gui Sanliang is not his opponent." We have to think again. "Fang Xiaofeng will not stay, but he must leave someone who can contain Tie Kui. Otherwise, if Tiekui surrenders, it is equivalent to giving up the capital.

Meng Nian didn't understand why Yan Wushuang still didn't believe Tie Kui, and when he saw this, he could only say helplessly: "Your Majesty, the capital will definitely not be able to hold it at that time." Keeping one more general who can fight in the capital is one more loss for us. "Yun Qing's subordinates are as strong as clouds, and they are very powerful when they are pulled out to fight; But there are only a few generals who can fight. Fold one, and one is less.

Yan Wushuang still didn't make up his mind: "Let's take a look." ”

Meng Nian knew that if he said too much, he would disgust Yan Wushuang, so he didn't say more.

All the changes in the capital were transmitted to the pickaxe city in the fastest time. After reading the secret letter, Yuxi's heart was very heavy.

The capital is still relatively stable, but the bandits and robbers outside the city burn, kill and loot all kinds of evil. In the previous life, Zhuangzi, where Yuxi lived, was robbed, killed and burned by robbers, and although she escaped, she finally died.

Thinking of this, Yuxi couldn't help but say: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world." "In troubled times, no one takes human life seriously, and ordinary people are the most pitiful.

Several ministers standing in the room didn't understand why Yuxi let out such an exclamation.

Tan Tuo guessed what the secret letter said, and immediately stood up and said: "When the world is calm, all the people can live and work in peace and contentment." ”

Putting down the secret letter, Yuxi said, "I hope this day can be soon." "If you want the world to be calm, it's impossible in a short period of time.

Next, the ministers looked at Yuxi's mood obviously not high, and seeing this situation, everyone became more and more cautious.
