603. Temptation
At this time, an ox cart slowly walked on the suburban avenue, and the cow was driven by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and when he passed by the teahouse, he shouted in a rough voice: "Uncle Liu!"
Liu Bo hurriedly leaned out, and when he saw the young man, his sad expression became more and more depressed, and he scared the young man out loud: "You bastard boy, why are you still hanging out so late?
The young man jumped down from the ox cart neatly, stamped his feet into the teahouse, and looked at Liu Bo with a smile, his expression was unconcealable: "Uncle Liu, my father asked me to give you a message, my father said that he inquired about the whereabouts of Uncle Chen's family, their family is now in the city, living in a big house, there are a lot of people in the yard, but magnificent, let me tell you not to worry!"
When Liu Bo heard this, his face immediately turned blue, this is not a good thing!
While he was carrying the young man home, he frowned and looked at Chu Shaoyuan.
It wasn't until the young man was driven away that Liu Bo slowly walked to Chu Shaoyuan's side, as if he had made up his mind, and respectfully bowed.
Chu Shaoyuan was very surprised, lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Bo who was kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his eyebrows were furrowed: "Mr. Liu, what is this doing?"
Liu Bo kowtowed respectfully before he spoke: "You are Prince An, right?" The villain recognized you, but you don't want to talk to the villain, and the villain doesn't dare to bother you more, but this matter is very important, and I hope that the prince can listen to the villain." ”
Chu Shaoyuan was a little surprised, as Prince An, naturally more people knew him, and he didn't know others, but the person in front of him could determine his identity just by a few words, which was also a little weird.
Thinking like this, there was suspicion in his eyes: "Who are you?"
Liu Bo hurriedly said: "The villain has only seen the fourth prince from afar, and when I saw you just now, I felt that you were very similar to the fourth prince, and I saw your dress and style, so I deduced that you were the third prince." ”
Chu Shaoyuan pursed his lips, putting these aside, he especially wanted to figure out what he had to say to himself now.
Liu Bo said slowly: "When the fourth prince found Brother Zhong Chu, the villain was in the compartment of Brother Zhong Chu's house and heard the matter clearly......
As he spoke, his voice gradually deepened, and seeing that there was no one around, he stepped forward on his knees, and leaned into Chu Shaoyuan's ear to tell the ins and outs of the matter, and then said: "Originally, the villain didn't dare to say it, but the villain heard that the prince of Fuguo was married to Miss Lu, and he worked in the Ministry of Industry, so he thought that you would not care about this matter, no matter what, it was Miss Lu who suffered a grievance in vain, and it was always difficult to let those wicked people go unpunished, but let the people next to him bear the charge." ”
Chu Shaoyuan's expression became more and more solemn between his eyebrows, such a strategy was too poisonous, so even if he knew such a truth, he couldn't be happy.
Unexpectedly, the fourth child has not seen him for half a year, and he has become more and more insidious and vicious, not only did he make people carry this black pot for nothing, but he also made a life-saving benefactor, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all deceived by him.
He glanced at Liu Bo and said, "If you confide the truth like this, aren't you afraid of being imprisoned?"
Liu Bo immediately knew the meaning of his words, and hurriedly said solemnly: "Brother Zhong Chu and I have the grace to save my life, don't hide it from the prince, I am a foreigner, my ancestral home is in Tongzhou, or decades ago, I entered Beijing to catch the exam, the original family was not rich, I used up the entanglement again, and finally got to the day of the list, but I didn't see my name, I knew that I was off the list again, thinking of the family members for me, how can I have the face to go home?
"Because of the depression in my heart, I soon became ill, and when I was dying, it was Brother Zhong Chu who invited a doctor to treat me, and comforted me that although fame and fortune are important, if you don't have a good body, it is useless to have immortal talents, and I also funded my next exam, but where do I still have the face to be funded, so I simply found a livelihood in the suburbs of this city.
"If it weren't for Brother Zhong Chu asking a doctor to treat me back then, I would have become a pile of white bones, Lord Wang, you said, such kindness, how could I watch his family die because of such a thing? Even if I give up this life, I will come back for Brother Zhong Chu to seek justice!"
Chu Shaoyuan saw that his expression didn't look like a fake, so he lowered his eyes and nodded: "In this case, you go back to the city with me today, and you still need to testify about this matter." ”
Liu Bo hurriedly said: "This is nature. ”
As he spoke, the driver had pulled the car out of the mud pit.
Zhang Quanshun also eased up, and when he saw the coachman coming in to say goodbye, he looked at Chu Shaoyuan: "Lord Wang, do you think you can start your journey?"
Chu Shaoyuan put down the teacup in his hand, gathered the big one, got up and walked out of the teahouse.
Liu Bo hurriedly followed.
……
It wasn't until Chu Shaoyuan's carriage had left a long distance that the man squatting at the counter of the tea house got up.
A pair of eyes stared thoughtfully in the direction the carriage had left.
If you look closely, you will find that the man has a straight face, looks very awe-inspiring, and a coarse cloth is short, although he is dressed as a small servant, but the whole person does not look like a small servant, and it is not quite consistent.
A person slowly fell from the beam, with black hair and handsome eyebrows in green clothes, but he was holding a folding fan in his hand, which looked very out of place.
"Palace master, is it really appropriate for the third prince to know about this matter?" The people at the counter couldn't help but ask when they saw the young man in Tsing Yi and stepped forward to pack up his things.
The young man smiled, and turned the folding fan in his hand around his fingertips several times, "What's wrong with it, Liu Bo's mind is not in the tea house, he thinks about going into Yunfu City every day to find his confidant, I'm just doing him a favor, it's too late for him to be grateful." ”
"You know that what I'm talking about isn't this," the man said in a low voice, "Liu Bo is just a pawn, what really matters is the person who made Chen Ying's eldest son do those things, didn't the palace master say that the four princes have a bit of a ...... in the world?"
"Shut up!" the young man restrained the somewhat frivolous look on his face, frowned, and exuded a cold aura all over his body, "I dare to say anything here, if it weren't for the fact that you have been with me for so long, I would have cut off your tongue a long time ago!
The man seemed to be very afraid of the young man, so he quickly shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything more.
The young man slowly pulled out a smile, "No matter how ambitious the fourth prince is, he can't resist the third prince, let's just walk and see." ”
When the man heard him say this, he was stunned, and then asked with some reluctance: "How could the palace master know? Didn't you think about the third prince before? Otherwise, why would you help the fourth prince do these things?"
"What do you know?" the young man glanced at the man, "stunned, stupid people who have to help count the money after being sold, if their strength is too different, do you think the emperor will make such a decision? ”
The man scratched his head and didn't say anything more.
The young man opened the folding fan with a bang, looked at the full moon painted on it, and the ethereal palace under the full moon, bent his lips lightly, and brushed his fingertips a little bit over the line of poems written on it, and laughed silently.
That line of poetry was written by Taibai - hanging in the mirror and blue sky at night, alone with the people in the Nagato Palace.
It's clearly a resentful song, but it was forcibly used by him as the name of the killer organization, which is really ridiculous.
……
When Chu Shaoyuan returned to the mansion, he could already see a crescent moon hanging low in the sky.
Chanyi waited left and right in the mansion, but she couldn't wait for Chu Shaoyuan, and she was already a little anxious in her heart.
When Chu Shaoyuan came in with the curtain, Chan Yi happened to be spinning around in the room like a headless fly, and when she looked up and saw him coming back, she immediately greeted him, "Why did you come back so late?" I didn't say a word when I left, the weather has been so cold these days, and I didn't even take a hand warmer, what if it is freezing?"
The tone in which she spoke was not very good, but the content revealed in her words made Chu Shaoyuan's heart warm.
He untied his mink fur and reached out to hug her, leaning on her soft shoulders, feeling slightly tired.
Chanyi's touch was cold everywhere, so cold that she couldn't help but shiver, "Why is your body so cold?
Chu Shaoyuan hurriedly took a step back, wanting to distance himself from her, but was hugged by her.
"Don't move, I'll warm you up," Chan Yi stopped him, held his hand to his mouth and took a small breath, but his mouth counted him down: " You are also stunned, since you know that you want to go out, you always have to take a few out of the hand warmer, no matter how bad the carriage is, you have to change it to a thicker one, at least you have to lay a thick fur cushion in the carriage, put a basin to warm your feet, and bury some hot incense ash under the mat, but you are good, not only is there nothing on the car, the four walls are empty, and you don't take anything, and carry it hard, this is not nine days, and when you count nine days, you will not become a big lump of ice lumps when you come back!"
The ice on Chu Shaoyuan's face seemed to gradually melt in her words, and there was a strong spring love in her eyebrows and eyes.
"Late night. He called to her softly.
She replied angrily: "It's useless to say good things, and it's useless to be coquettish!"
Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but smile, and the body that was hugged by her gradually warmed up, not as cold as before.
He lowered his head and gently rubbed the tip of her nose, "It's not like this in the future, don't be angry." ”
