"Help?" Xiao Yao raised her head, "What do you mean ......?"

He Yu nodded, "If it's okay, it's okay to let them stay, I won't say anything to them first, you go and say, how about it?" ”

"I'm going?" Xiao Yao was a little confused, "Is this really okay?" ”

"Wouldn't it be nice for us to give them a safe environment to grow up in?" He Yu smiled and said, "I think even if you don't have to say it, they will want to stay." ”

Xiao Yao lowered her head and thought for a while, "Well, okay." I'll give it a try. ”

"Okay." He Yu paused for a moment and looked at Xiao Yao, "Do you think I'm bad?" ”

Xiao Yao shook her head, "I don't think so." ”

"Really? Why? ”

"You also said 'maybe', so you don't mean to persecute, it's all voluntary." Xiao Yao said, "Moreover, if these two children really let them be outcast, without shelter, I don't know what will happen, maybe they were caught and killed by those ruffians like that day?" ”

"Yes," He Yu nodded, "However, we can't guarantee what will happen to us, whether it may be good or bad, no one can say for sure." ”

"So, let them choose."

In the next few days, Xiao Yao just went over regularly to see how Zhong Yiyuan's condition was, and he would leave after sitting for a short time, and he didn't bother the brothers to do anything.

He Yu also accompanied the emperor to visit everywhere as usual, and looked at the current saint to make a look close to the people.

Walking in the field, the fourth prince suddenly said, "I heard that two days ago, King Xuanping picked up two little beggars on the street and brought them back?" ”

"Yes, it's still the minister's family who has a kind wife," He Yu heard this, and said politely with a smile, "It's really pitiful to look at the two children, and the little one still has a high fever, if you don't save yourself when you see death, won't you create a karma for yourself?" ”

Two simple sentences made the four princes speechless, and they could only turn their heads in disdain, and the emperor heard it in front of him, turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, you told me about this." What's the origin of that little ruffian? ”

"Back to the emperor, that little ruffian has no origin, but the prefect of Jinling knows that there are bullies in the market, and he doesn't care about it all year round, which is where the dereliction of duty lies."

As soon as he said this, everyone's breathing stopped in an instant, and the prefect of Jinling was among them, and when he heard this, he kept wiping cold sweat, and knelt on the ground with a pop, "The emperor spares his life, but the ruffians have been rampant and domineering for many years, as early as when the minister came, it was already where everyone in Jinling City was afraid, and the minister also had wives and children, and the minister was really ......."

"Rubbish!" Emperor Apocalypse snorted coldly and kicked on the prefect's body, "The imperial court is taking money to support you, is it just to let you waste turtles?!" ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry, He Yu added fuel to the fire in a hurry, and said unhurriedly, "Why did Lord Yu want to make his own relationship so fast? In other words, there has been no shortage of oil and water in recent years, right? How much of the protection fee collected by these ruffians can be divided into adults? ”

"You, you, you," the prefect shook his hands, pointed at He Yu, and then immediately began to cry and shout, "Emperor Mingjian, King Xuanping is spewing blood!" ”

"Hongming." The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not look back.

"Yes, Your Majesty." He Yu's expression was whole, and all the hippie smiles just now were put away. put on a stern face.

"Do you have proof?"

"Naturally," He Yu snapped his fingers, and a guard came out of the accompanying team and respectfully handed over a palm-sized booklet, Liang Xinzhi took it and respectfully handed it to the emperor.

After the prefect saw the pamphlet, the whole person trembled like chaff and couldn't stop, and it took a long time before he fell to the ground, his trembling voice with a cry of fear, "I beg the emperor to spare my life......

"Spare your life?" Emperor Apocalypse flipped through the booklet, raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Zhifu, who had completely buried himself in a ball, "I spared your life, who will spare the lives of these ordinary people?" ”

He Yu stood next to him and didn't speak, the booklet was not only the record of the distribution of the stolen goods between the prefect and the ruffian, but also the record of beating the people to death in order to collect the so-called "protection money", and even some records of the stolen money flowing to the capital, but He Yu did not write about the rest of the matter, of course he knew who the filial piety silver of the Jinling prefect had been given, but these could not be written.

If it is written too clearly, it seems that it has been premeditated, and the city is too deep. On the contrary, it was written more obscurely, making the emperor think that this was the result of He Yu's silent investigation in the past few days.

For example, one of them, one day when it was almost dawn, three people sneaked out of the Jinling prefect's house and headed north.

"Good, good!" Emperor Apocalypse's face turned pale, "This is my local master of Dafeng!" How bold it is! Prince! ”

"Erchen is here!" The crown prince quickly walked out and stood in front of the emperor.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gritted his teeth, "I order you to investigate this matter thoroughly!" Find out all the people involved in this matter for me one by one! Even if it's the prince and grandson, give it to me! ”

"The retainers obeyed." The prince bowed deeply, and his expression was stern.

And the prefect of Jinling was changed on the spot, and Lord Yu was dragged down by the guards with blank eyes.

After such a toss, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally lost the initial intention of hanging out, and ordered to return to Beijing the next day. He Yu here has already reported to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, He Yu will return to Beijing two months late, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally agreed.

In the evening, Xiao Yao came to the ear room where the Zhong brothers lived.

Because of Xiao Yao's affinity and attitude of no longer asking about their affairs, the two children have gradually become familiar with Xiao Yao, and they have become a little closer, Xiao Yao said, "We are leaving here tomorrow, do you want to go with us?" ”

The brothers glanced at each other, and Zhong Yiyuan plucked up the courage to ask, "If we want to follow you, is it really okay?" ”

"Naturally, it's okay," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "You escaped from that place, do you have a place to go?" ”

The brothers were at a loss, Zhong Yiyuan said in a low voice, "Actually, we don't have any direction, we just know that we have to flee, and we ran for a long time before we came to Jiangnan, and the back ...... We don't know where we're going. ”

Xiao Yao smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Zhong Yiyuan paused for a moment, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated. Xiao Yao said, "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask." As long as I can say, I will sue you. ”

"I heard from my brother, ma'am...... Are you ...... Princess? Zhong Yiyuan asked hesitantly.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, without the slightest intention of concealing it, "My husband is King Xuanping, I don't know if you have heard of it." ”

"Ahh Zhong Yiyuan exclaimed, and Zhong Yiliang's eyes also lit up, the two children nodded desperately, Zhong Yiyuan said hurriedly, "Father admired General Xuanping very much!" told us a lot of stories about General Xuanping! ”

"Huh? Could it be that your father is the old department of the old general Xuanping? ”

"My grandfather is, my father is not, but my father has followed my grandfather to the battlefield, so I know a little bit. My brother has always taken General Xuanping as an example! Zhong Yiyuan said this, looking at Zhong Yiliang excitedly.

The old general's old ministry? It seems that there is a lot of article here, Xiao Yao remained silent, just smiled and looked at the two children.

"That'...... Are we going to the capital? Zhong Yiyuan continued to ask.

"No," Xiao Yao continued, "let's go to Nanping City, my mother's house, for two months, and then we'll go back to Beijing." ”

"Oh." Although Zhong Yiliang can't speak, he also made a lip shape, and his stunned appearance is also very cute. Xiao Yao continued to ask, "Then do you want to come with us?" ”

"Yes!" Hearing that he was actually rescued by King Xuanping, probably because his grandfather was in the old department, the intimacy Cheng Dù suddenly became a lot closer, and the two children nodded in unison.

I expected the result, but I didn't expect that there would be so many gains.

Xiao Yao raised her eyebrows, sat up straight and said, "Okay, then I'm going to tell you the rules now." ”

"Okay." This was expected by the two children a long time ago, and there was no accident, they all stood up seriously and listened to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction, and then said sternly, "First of all, what I want to make clear is that I can't really raise you as my children, so you are now the children that I and the prince picked up, so let you be my child's companion for the time being, I don't know if you can accept it?" ”

"The princess's willingness to take us in and find me a doctor for healing is already a great favor. Zixi, Ziyao didn't dare to ask for too much. The brothers knelt down and solemnly bowed to Xiao Yao.

is a person who remembers to be grateful, Xiao Yao was very satisfied, and continued, "In order to avoid the limelight, your names also follow my He family surname, and the names are He Zixi, He Ziyao, can you accept this?" ”

The room was silent, only the sound of breathing could be heard, Xiao Yao waited quietly, her face was light and light, but the hand hidden in her sleeve was already clenched into a fist, and success or failure was here.

After a long time, Zhong Yiyuan's low voice finally sounded in the room, "I know, the princess is for our good, so we accept ......" At the end, there was already a cry, and Zhong Yiliang also wiped his tears.

Xiao Yao squatted down and hugged the two children, "Well, it's good that you know what's at stake, and one day in the future you will restore your real name." ”

"Really?" Zhong Yiyuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Yao with teary eyes.

"Yes, trust me, there will be a day." Xiao Yao touched the hair of the two children and said with pity.

The two children wiped away their tears and bowed deeply to the sky outside the door, Zhong Yiyuan word by word, as if to imprint today's words in his heart, he said, "Now the name change is really our brother in order to protect himself and have to do so, our brother swears, one day, our brother will restore his real name, father and mother are above, please forgive us!" ”R1152
