Chapter 345: Melancholy

In the early morning of the next day, on the Luoshui Wharf, a passenger ship slowly docked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This passenger ship has two floors, and the bottom floor is occupied by ordinary people, merchants who wander the countryside, and merchants who do small business. On the second floor, there are scholars in fluttering Confucian robes, businessmen with spare money, and some low-grade petty officials returning to Beijing with their female dependents.

Sun Zhitao stood on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands and watched for a long time, watching the flow of people on the dock and the majesty of Luoyang City not far away.

He silently thought in his heart: Wanzhen, I'm here. After half a year, from winter to summer, how are you in the capital? Finally, I can be in the same city with you, under the same sky.

He got off the boat, and Mo Zhu followed behind him and asked, "Young Master, should we go to Songxi Academy first, or go to the mansion in the city?"

As a family of poetry and books that plough and read heirlooms, some members of the Sun family are officials in Beijing, and there are also officials in various places who need to return to Beijing to appeal. Therefore, the Sun family has not a lot of industries in Luoyang.

The Sun family's three-room house is no exception, and a small house was purchased in Beijing for the purpose of settling down.

Mo Zhu asked this because before going to Beijing, he was instructed by the young master to go to the Xu family's old house to inquire about Xu Wanzhen's movements in Beijing.

Ge Ma stayed in the old mansion of the Xu family, she and Mozhu were familiar with each other, and sympathized with Sun Zhitao's infatuation with Miss, so she told him that Mrs. Xu had moved out of the Tu family with Xu Wanzhen and settled in the house of Jiashanfang in Beijing.

Sun Zhitao said: "Go to the house in the city first, and after tidying up, I will go to the academy tomorrow to visit Tu Shanchang." ”

He thought very clearly, since he was here to study, he must have his studies as his first priority. Tu Shanchang is not only a great Confucian of the current dynasty, but also Xu Wanzhen's great-grandfather, so it is reasonable that he should visit him first.

The Sun family's house is not big, but the location is very good, located in Chennan's Zeshan Fang, not far from the Xu family's house. It's only a quarter of an hour's walk away.

Looking at the house here is a middle-aged couple, after they received the news that the second young master was going to live here for a long time, they made every effort to clean up the house inside and out.

Sun Zhitao entered the door, what he saw was clean and tidy, nodded, and Mozhu took out a few big coins and rewarded the two.

Mo Zhu opened the luggage one by one, and carefully stacked the books in the bookcase brought by the young master, he knew that these books were the things that the young master valued the most.

The night was getting thicker, Sun Zhitao finished washing, and looked at the night sky outside the window with his hands, and his heart was so thick that he couldn't dissolve the melancholy.

I thought that when I arrived in the capital, my mood would be better, but now it seems that this is not the case. Will tomorrow's visit go well? Will I be able to meet Tu Shanchang? Will Mrs. Xu meet him later?

As the party who withdrew from the marriage, he was not sure in his heart.

Turning around, he lit the candle, took a book and began to study it seriously. Since the past is unpredictable, it is better to study seriously. At least, the book won't fail itself.

……

In the same night, Wu Rui hurriedly approached Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs of the "Hefeng". As soon as he arrived within ten feet, someone in the dark whispered, "Who?"

Wu Rui arched his hand on the spot and said, "Wu Rui, I want to see Master Qian." ”

The man nodded slightly, and returned to darkness.

Wu Rui thought as he walked, he deserved to be the famous "Hefeng", and even an ordinary Zhuangzi had done such a good job of preventive measures.

He had no doubt that if he could not answer or answered incorrectly, the man would send the signal back to the village.

Wu Zhengxiang had just fallen asleep with Xu Wanzhen, looking at her quiet sleeping face, he couldn't take his eyes off him as if he had been poisoned.

Two partridge cries sounded in the courtyard, which were the secret signals he had agreed with Wu Rui.

Gently put her hand back into the quilt, Wu Zhengxiang pushed open the door and went out, carefully covering the door for her.

He Wu Rui came to the chamber and lit a candle, Wu Zhengxiang said: "Say, what did you find?"

Wu Rui was about to return, but found that he was restrained, and he had not seen him for a few days, and the master's martial arts realm had far surpassed him. What's going on?

You must know that there are no shortcuts on the way to martial arts. There are a number of masters in the rivers and lakes, all of whom have practiced hard since childhood, coupled with their own talent and a certain amount of luck. How could you suddenly see that martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds?

Seeing that he was surprised, Wu Zhengxiang guessed what he thought, and did not hide it, and said: "Don't be surprised, I opened up the second pulse of Rendu the night before." ”

Wu Rui bowed his hand and said, "Congratulations to the master!" The stronger Wu Zhengxiang is, the more stable he is.

Wu Zhengxiang smiled faintly, he was a blessing in disguise this time, and the results of the exercises in the martial arts training ground during the day made him quite satisfied.

"After the master's interrogation yesterday, I arranged for people to lurk around the Qi Palace, the Zhaoyang Princess Mansion, the Chu Palace, and the Prince's Mansion. ”

Since Wu Rui's surrender, Wu Zhengxiang handed over the people he had secretly gathered to him. These people are extremely capable and of different ages, but they all have one thing in common, they are only loyal to Wu Zhengxiang.

These people were originally the hole cards he was going to use to fight against his mother-in-law, Chen. Wu Rui was originally the leader of the white group in "White Night", and he was familiar with commanding subordinates and news analysis. Under him, they can play a greater value.

But what Wu Zhengxiang didn't expect was that the first time these people were used to monitor the four princes.

Wu Rui continued to reply: "These mansions, except for the Prince's Mansion, where there are changes, King Qi, Princess Zhaoyang, and King Chu are all business as usual. ”

Wu Zhengxiang's pupils shrank, could it be that the prince really did this thing?

"Yesterday afternoon, people came out of the Prince's Mansion one after another. There were two people who went to the vicinity of Xu's house in Jiashanfang, wandered around to inquire about the Xu family's movements, and were close to the Xu family's subordinates who came out to do errands. There was a person who went to Nanshi's 'Splendid Record' and spied on the movement in the shop on the opposite side of the teahouse. There is another one, after finding the trace of the eldest young master of the Xu family, he has been following not far away. ”

The people of the Prince's Mansion did not deliberately hide their traces, and they were not professionally trained. fell in Wu Rui's eyes, it was as simple and straightforward as telling him "We are investigating the movements of the Xu family".

"What they inquired about, we pieced together, it was the whereabouts of the eldest lady of the Xu family. In addition, I quietly visited Jianchun Gate, and the day before yesterday, when the eldest young master and eldest lady of the Xu family went out of the city, the prince once appeared. Wu Rui finally concluded.

The essence in Wu Zhengxiang's eyes skyrocketed like substance, and the handrails under his hands were pinched into powder by him in silence. His silent rage, like a storm, swirled around the house, all the more terrifying.

Intimidated by the majesty he exuded, Wu Rui leaned down and waited quietly for orders.

After the tea kung fu, Wu Zhengxiang's agitated emotions gradually calmed down. In this way, it can be sure that the prince must be behind this matter.

He is not a Dali temple here, and he does not need any conclusive evidence to use for trial and conviction. All he needs to know is that's enough!

Prince, you shouldn't have done anything to attack the people I care about the most. From now on, I will do everything in my power to prevent you from ascending to the throne of God!
