Chapter 204: The Finale

Previous Chapter

Shen Liang said with an arrogant expression: "Hey, don't believe it! Let me tell you that it is on the hill south of the capital, not far from Puning Temple, and Hua Shizi of the Anguo Mansion brought the people of the Jingwei camp to run it. ”

The man didn't hear that he was telling a lie, and he lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Hehe, there is a subordinate in my family, who happens to be in the mountains over there, and he saw it with his own eyes. Hua Shizi led people to surround a villa on the mountain, and the people in the villa were all masters, and they fought for more than an hour, and finally they were all wiped out by Hua Shizi......"

Smack!

Shen Liang turned his head, it was not Miss Qilan, but the maid Xiaoyu beside Miss Qilan.

"Yo? scared the little rain girl. Shen Liang asked with a smile.

This Xiaoyu girl doesn't talk much on weekdays, her hair curtain covers half of her face, and she is wearing Yanxialou's uniform maid clothes, but Shen Liang thinks that she should also be a big beauty, just the white neck when she bows her head, and the figure of the willow, can make people think about it.

Miss Xiaoyu hurriedly apologized to him: "Please forgive me, slave, slave maid, slave maid has a little slippery hand." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, look at what scares Miss Xiaoyu, even those things outside don't care about you weak women, Miss Xiaoyu is at ease."

Miss Xiaoyu gave him another salute, packed up his things and withdrew.

In the evening of this day, in the back door of Yanxia Tower, an old mother who was over half a hundred years old walked out, and after she bought a few things in the city, she returned to Yanxia Tower at nightfall.

Moreover, for seven or eight days in a row, this mother-in-law would come out to buy at this time every day. After that, Yanxia Tower, as usual, became a pool of stagnant water, and there was not even a wave.

After combing through the lines of the woman, she found an interesting thing, no matter how she walked around the street, she would go to the shop of the Jiyuan Warehouse on Suzaku Street.

Since Jiyuan Warehouse was calculated that year, Chu Shuhuang let them open this storefront, which not only facilitates the purchase of the people, but also expands the operation of the warehouse and effectively reduces inventory.

Now this mother-in-law goes to the shop once a day, does she go to the shop? Therefore, Chu Shuhuang arranged for Yuan Chengyuan to investigate carefully.

When the time came to the twilight of spring, the sacrifice day of Hua Chang's parents came again, and Chu Shuhuang came to Puning Temple to do things after two days of preparation. Hua Chang was busy with government affairs in the camp, but he accompanied her on the first day, and when he saw that everything was fine, he left her Yanxue and hurried back to the camp.

When she had nothing to do, Chu Shuhuang wandered around the mountain behind Puning Temple, and couldn't help but think of a lot of things, Yanxue's assassination, the rescue of Jiang Li, Su Zheng and Xu Shikang, and her uneasy emotions at that time...... Life is like a play, who would have thought that she and Hua Chang would be engaged?

She couldn't have imagined it herself, and after working hard for a long time, it seemed that she was still at the starting point.

Su Zheng and Xu Shikang have long been different, Jiang Li is pregnant now, and she will no longer come to incense for her mother. Oh, by the way, there is another person, the grandson of Mrs. Lizhen Cheng, I don't know if he will still do things for his parents.

Coincidentally, these things were all in time in the past few days, a wry smile flashed at the corner of Chu Shuhuang's mouth, and suddenly a thought flashed in her mind, and after thinking about it seriously, she shook her head lightly.

Later, she specially found the abbot of Puning Temple, Master Jingkong, to inquire about the news of Master Yizen, but she didn't know anything.

Two days later, in the morning, Mama Lin was accompanying Chu Shuhuang to chant in the main hall, when she saw the inner servant Fenglian waving at her at the door of the main hall, she got up and walked out.

It turned out to be Li Yan, the grandson of Mrs. Lizhen Cheng, who wanted to come to offer incense to Hua Chang's parents, so she returned to the palace and gave it to Chu Shuhuang.

Hua Qinglan was also a hero back then, and made a lot of contributions to the Chu country, and the husband and wife were deeply affectionate and loved by the world, since someone wanted to come to worship, she naturally would not stop it.

So, Chu Shuhuang led people into the lounge next to the main hall and looked out through the gap in the window lattice. I saw a man in a moon-white robe walk in, with a tall posture and handsome eyebrows, revealing the weakness of a literati talent, she remembered her previous conjecture, and couldn't help but shake her head secretly.

When the seven-day ritual was about to be completed, Mama Zhou was sent by Jiang Li to the temple to offer incense to her mother, and Mama Zhou came to see Chu Shuhuang and reported Jiang Li's recent situation to ask her to rest assured. In addition, after Mama Zhou goes back, she will serve Jiang Li to leave the capital, and come back after everything is in order.

Chu Shuhuang asked her to tell Jiang Li that there was no need to rush back, and it was not too late to come back when the child was older, so that the child would be too young to bear it on the road.

About a month later, Yuan Cheng Yuanguang finished checking the five generations of people in the Jiyuan warehouse, and he didn't find a possible connector or any useful clues, so Chu Shuhuang had to let them continue to check and pay attention to the people who came and went.

Prime Minister Wei Cheng and the others who went to Saibei came back, and the result was indeed as they expected, although the field was established, but those businesses were still firmly in their hands, and Chu Shuhuang only needed to pay a tax of 100,000 taels of silver for the Chu State every year.

When midsummer came, Chu received a document sent by Sang State, and Emperor Sang asked to marry Princess Shengping for the five princes of Sang. Moreover, in order to compensate Hua Chang and maintain the relationship between the two countries, the Sang Kingdom sent the princess of Sang Guo to marry Hua Chang.

After receiving the news, the government and the opposition in Chu were shocked.

Some literati were impassioned and scolded Sang Guo for bullying people too much, Princess Shengping had already chosen a horse, and Sang Guo ignored etiquette, righteousness and shame, and cut a bar to destroy the good marriage.

But there are also some people who are silent, not that they can't see the unreasonableness of Sang State, but they are more looking forward to the peace of Chu State, if the happiness of one or two people is sacrificed like this, it can be exchanged for more than ten years of stable development of Chu State, it is still worth it.

In the midst of an argument, Sang Yanbin took the princess of Sang to Chu State, a full three months earlier than Wei Yan said.

At this time, a group of literati led by Prime Minister Wei Cheng and Xu Shixuan published a document praising Princess Shengping's achievements, which detailed Princess Shengping's contributions to the Chu State in the past ten years, and resolutely opposed Princess Shengping marrying far away.

As early as when the sand envoy of Sang Kingdom proposed to marry, Chu Shuhuang found that he had made a mistake - knowing himself and knowing that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles. She has been immersed in the development of the Chu State, but she ignores the situation of the Sang State, and is naturally very passive.

So from then on, she and Hua Chang arranged some manpower in Sang Kingdom.

And the fifth prince of Sang is not the future heir to the throne of Sang Kingdom, his mother died early, and he was bullied in the palace, so he has such a moody and gloomy character.

So there are still articles to do.

Because of the encouragement of Prime Minister Wei and Xu Shixuan and others, the people of Chu strongly opposed Princess Shengping's marriage. The prince of Chu in the court and others naturally supported it, and the situation in Sang was turbulent, so Sang Yanbin returned in vain.

At this time, the princess of Sang sent a message to Hua Chang, saying that she knew the murderer of Hua Chang's parents and could take revenge with him.

In fact, as early as when Xu Shixuan revealed the secret of the Xu family, Chu Shuhuang thought of Hua Chang's parents. Later, in the pharmacopoeia obtained in the villa, the owner of the pharmacopoeia recorded a plant in a certain place in the country of Sang, and he found that under certain circumstances, this plant can silently kill people, that is, it is exactly the same as the behavior of Hua Chang's parents.

So Chu Shuhuang guessed it at that time, but he didn't think about how to tell Hua Chang.

Moreover, she found that this princess's eyebrows gave her a sense of déjà vu, and finally confirmed that it was Su Zheng, the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

And because of Su Zheng's restlessness, the spy boss had to take her in, which made Xiao Yu, the servant girl next to Miss Qilan, jealous, and thus revealed that the spy leader was the disguised grandson of Mrs. Cheng - Li Yan.

In view of Sang Guo's unyielding heart, after Sang Yanbin left, the emperor and queen happily handled family affairs for Chu Shuhuang and Hua Chang.

The previous 100,000 taels of silver bought a large amount of land in those areas that were dry and prone to locust plagues. In the spring of the following year, instead of farming, they scattered tens of thousands of chickens and ducks.

Because of the intervention of these natural enemies, the so-called locust plague is not so violent, and the people have accepted the concept of eating locusts, so there are no starvation incidents in those areas where the disaster is severe.

The Sang State did begin to invade the Chu State at this time, and the Su family also wanted to instruct the Marquis of Ning Ping to incite public opinion - this disaster was all the punishment brought by Chu Shuhuang for letting people eat locusts.

Not only did Ning Pinghou take the opportunity to find the Su family, the person behind the scenes, but even Empress Hua Chang and others also found out, so Wei Yuanhou was dismissed and investigated. In the end, I learned that the person who assassinated the four princes, or more importantly, it was the Su family who wanted to murder the eldest prince.

And it was also found out that when the Su family wanted to coerce Marquis Ning Ping to poison the eldest prince last time, Marquis Ning Ping came up with a compromise solution, which was to deliberately poison Qiu Li to death.

Marquis Ning Ping was also dismissed from his post and investigated, and later due to Qiu Jia's intercession, he was withdrawn from his title and returned to the countryside.

And Leng Dayong, the "son-in-law" trusted by the Su family, is the person arranged by the eldest prince in Jinggu Pass, under the full supply of grain and grass from Chu Shuhuang, Hua Chang and Leng Dayong joined forces to drive the Sang ** team out of Chu State.

The Su family was corrected, and the three princes colluded with foreign clans and were demoted to concubines and imprisoned for life.
