Most of the former residents in Houchai Lane made a living by selling firewood and hunting, and only one family worked as a servant, and when Dusk Qing left home, the family had long since lost its neighbors. She has been gone for three years, and the people in Gushui County may think that she is dead, and it is possible that the neighbors have moved back. But looking at Bu Xihuan's expression, Twilight knew that this was not the case, ten of the people in this courtyard were acquaintances, and people who were familiar enough with him to make him so comfortable and relaxed...... You don't have to guess who it is.

The door creaked open, and the people in the door did not leave their hands in jade-faced green robes, and the people under the eaves smiled more beautiful than magnolia.

"The emperor and queen are coming to the humble house, and the fluff is shining!" Wei Zhuozhi was used to being casual, so he only let go of the door and bowed down to greet him.

Bu Xihuan didn't care, and entered the door with Dusk Qing, Chai Mixiang was floating out of the stove room, and before the two of them reached the door of the stove room, the pothos pushed Xiao Fang and walked out. The two of them saluted, and Twilight asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to Xingluo?" ”

Xingluo is in the southernmost part of the Daxing region, with 18 islands in one state, adjacent to Qionghai, and is named after the many islands.

The Wei family lived in Xingluo, Wei Zhuozhi was away for several years and did not return, this time he found the orphan of Marshal Xiao in Shengjing, and was awarded the title of General of Zhennan of the Second Rank for his merits, and led the coastal defense. The day before Luan drove to Gushui County, Wei Zhuozhi left Biandu with Xiao Fang, counting the time, they should have walked out of the boundary of Bianzhou, but they didn't expect to be in Gushui County!

"Xiao Fang remembered that there were still things that had not been handed over to His Highness, so we stayed in Gushui County for a few days." Wei Zhuo's way.

Xiao Fang bowed slightly, her face was ashamed, "Your Highness, please come with the people's daughter." ”

The things were stored in the east room, wrapped carefully in brocade cloth, and after Twilight followed Xiao Fang into the house, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the brocade bag - look at this shape, it looks like a book.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Fang opened the brocade bag in front of him, and what was in it was really a book - a scripture book, a chess game!

"This is ......" Twilight took it and flipped through it, she couldn't read the words in the scripture, and the last game of the chess game was an endgame, "This is the scripture and chess game that Master Ethereal gave me!" ”

How could she be on Xiao Fang in the secret compartment of the study?

Xiao Fang said: "On the day of the Shengjing Rebellion, the people in the house hurriedly packed their bags, and when Master Luo was carrying the box, he accidentally knocked down the bookshelf and broke the dark grid, and these two books were in the dark grid. He didn't know what to do, so he asked Miss Yao, and the folk girl felt that this scripture and chess game must be important things to His Highness, so she took it on her body. When leaving the palace, the carriage was intercepted by the guards, and none of the things in His Highness's study could be taken out of Shengjing, except for the scriptures and chess games that the folk girl carried on her body in advance. ”

Xiao Fang's face was ashamed, when she went south, Du Qing was recuperating from her injuries, so she put away the scriptures and chess scores, after crossing the river, Wei Zhuozhi wanted to take her back to Xingluo Wei's house, seeing her hesitation, he said many things she never knew, related to the Xiao family and the Wei family. When she first heard the deeds of her father and mother before her death, she was like in a dream, she was taken out of Biandu by Wei Zhuozhi, and only remembered the scriptures and chess games halfway, and when she turned back, Luan had already arrived at Yunqiu Mountain, and she didn't want to disturb the emperor and queen guarding the mausoleum, so she stayed in Gushui County for a few days.

Twilight shook her head, momentarily speechless. Master of Emptiness Buddhism is profound, it seems that she knows her origins, and she can also understand the future, she has not yet understood the words he gave that night, and the scriptures and chess games have returned to her hands.

"I have never been able to understand this scripture and chess game, and it is fate to see it again, thank you." Twilight thanked her and put the book away.

Bu Xihuan was pulling Duqing to eat, Wei Zhuozhi knew that they would come, prepared a table of famous Jiangnan dishes, and also served a jar of bayberry wine. Seeing that the sky was clear, the table was placed in the courtyard, and the green pothos served beside it, Bu Xihuan, Dui Qing, Wei Zhuozhi and Xiao Fang sat around the table without the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, Twilight Qing didn't want to waste other people's thoughts, so she put away the miscellaneous threads and asked during the meal: "You bought this house?" ”

This is to ask Wei Zhuozhi.

Because this courtyard is close to the Dusk family, no one has been willing to buy it for many years, and there are no tenants, Gongzi Wei is rich, and he will not occupy the people's yard in vain, and he is more likely to buy it with silver than renting it.

"How much silver was thrown?" Twilight had no intention of asking about money, she was just curious, curious about how much it would cost her to be neighbors with the Twilight family.

"This Houchai Lane is now a place of Fengxing, and the money will not be changed! There are many people in the world who want to get in touch with this auspicious atmosphere, but unfortunately they are all one step late. Wei Zhuozhi smiled like a fox, thinking that he was mysterious, but in Twilight's eyes, he only had cunning.

Bu Xihuan glanced at Wei Zhuo lightly, and couldn't see that he let Du Qing guess, so he said: "After you and I got married, he bought all the houses in this alley, and he didn't throw much silver at that time, listening to the guards, many squires and rich people have inquired about the houses in the alleys these days, and they want to buy them for a thousand dollars. ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of sugar lotus root and put it in Duqing's bowl, and said lightly: "Don't work hard when you eat, it hurts your stomach." ”

Hey!

Wei Zhuozhi rolled his eyes in anger, what kind of person is this! If he dares to love, he feels sorry for his daughter-in-law! This matter was asked by his daughter-in-law, and in the end he was to blame, is this an unjust case?

Twilight also sighed, and after just a few words, the bowl in front of her was piled up into a small mountain, with sugar lotus, eel silk, bamboo shoots, rice balls, and a bowl of black chicken soup. Since returning to Jiangnan, Bu Xihuan has spent all his thoughts on one thing, except for his pro-government, - to fatten her.

She picked up the sugar lotus root and took a bite, and continued to chat with Wei Zhuozhi, "It's a pity that you can't do business, do you really want to go back to Xingluo to build a sea master?" ”

This man was born to be a businessman, and he didn't expect to be at sea.

"The wish of this life!" Wei Zhuozhi replied with a smile.

I saw the light of the sky coming to the courtyard, the man's eyebrows were as clear as a sea of clouds, and the moon was still soaked in the bright moon.

Twilight heard this, but never spoke again.

Horses of courses.

She had already heard Bu Xihuan talk about the old things of the Xiao Wei family.

The Wei family lived in Xingluo, Wei's father was a well-known local good man, on the way back to his mother's house with his wife, he met Haikou, a boatload of family members was slaughtered, and the body was thrown into the sea, Wei Zhuozhi was young at that time, and watched his mother commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea due to humiliation, and the leader of the Haikou lifted him and tied him to the mast to threaten Wei's father to hand over the family wealth, but he did not know that the three generations of the Wei family were benevolent, and the wealth of the family had already seen the bottom. However, Ren Wei's father begged bitterly, and Haikou still threw Wei Zhuozhi into the fishing net and threw him into the sea.

On that day, the vast sea was like a pool of blood, sea sharks snatched and eaten human corpses, young children were floating in the sea of blood, and the blood choked into the throat and intestines did not know whether it belonged to his mother or his family, he was so young that he still remembers only the sea corate laughing in the bow of the ship and a long crossbow that shot through the throat of the pirate leader.

Marshal Xiao was the commander-in-chief of Xingluo Maritime that year, and happened to go to a nearby island to inspect the coastal defense that day, and when he saw the Wei family's ship being robbed, he led a team of soldiers to fight the sea shark and saved the Wei family's father and son.

Wei Zhuozhi had been choking on the water for a long time and almost died on the boat, but Marshal Xiao tried his best to save him and protect his heart with internal strength to the shore of the island, which pulled him back from the front of the Yama Palace. Wei Zhuozhi did not die, but he was frightened and choked on the water and injured his body, fortunately, the three generations of the Wei family did good deeds and met many heroes in the rivers and lakes, including Wei Zhuozhi's mentor Hegu ghost hand.

Wei's father entrusted Wei Zhuozhi to the ghost hand of Hegu, and he spent all his thoughts on business, and all the money he obtained was used for coastal defense, he wanted to comfort his deceased wife and repay Marshal Xiao's life-saving grace, which made Marshal Xiao very admirable, so he became a righteous brother regardless of the difference between the family.

Marshal Xiao with the help of the Wei family to transform the sea boats, to fight against the sea bandits, and was later transferred back to Yidong because of the meritorious work of suppressing the Kou, and was ordered by the imperial court to build warships to guard the southeast seas, and trained into the world-famous Xiao family army, but soon after the Shangyuan Rebellion occurred, the Xiao family army died in Yiling Road.

Wei Zhuozhi encountered great difficulties when he was young, and since then he has been aiming at coastal defense, but the system of Daxing has been strict, the Wei family has been a businessman for generations, and has helped Marshal Xiao, he wants to get a coastal defense power from the hands of the imperial court, so he took advantage of the fame of the rivers and lakes to make friends with three religions and nine streams, and even expanded the business of the family, and opened a casino in Bianhe City. Everyone thinks that Gongzi Wei only loves money in the world, but they don't know that his money is used to make friends with the nobles and magnates.

At that time, it was the beginning of Bu Xihuan to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, he intended to recruit talents, noticed Wei Zhuo and then intended to get acquainted with him, the two from mutual temptation to join hands for two years, after which Bu Xihuan went south in the name of a good man's style, every year because of the luxury and was criticized by the world, but the world did not know that the so-called "river a day 100,000 gold" in the gold and silver actually all flowed into the Wei family. Wei Zhuo befriended the powerful people in Jiangnan on the one hand, and used his identity in the rivers and lakes to help Bu Xihuan establish the Piercing Moon Gate, collect news from the world, recruit capable people, assassinate traitors in the court, and infiltrate the scholars.

Twilight Qing never imagined that Bu Xihuan's influence in Jiangnan was so deep, and his influence had spread widely in Jiangnan, so deep that the civil and military ministers in Jiangnan did not dare not cross the river, and now they wanted to stop the new policy to the point where they were restrained everywhere.

Although only half of the country is left, he is the king of this half of the country - worthy of the name.

It's just that Bu Xihuan's ambition is not confined to this half of the country, and he is as Wei Zhuozhi wishes, allowing him to lead Xingluo's coastal defense, and obviously has plans to develop maritime affairs. In addition to the Bianhe River in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River, there are still sea areas to pass, and I heard that there are small countries to the south of Xingluo, there are countries in the southwest, and there are Xianshan Islands in the southeast. Daxing civil strife for many years, the national strength is not as good as before, stepping up the defense of the Xingluo sea can seek Jiangbei, the second can put pressure on Lingnan, and the third can guard against the maritime countries. Therefore, Wei Zhuozhi went to Xingluo and had a heavy responsibility.

After eating this meal for more than half an hour, Wei Zhuozhi and Xiao Fang will leave for Xingluo early tomorrow morning, and Twilight Qing wants to practice for the two, so after the meal, he personally made a list for the green pothos to buy, and the dinner was set in his own yard.

Luan's guard of honor was removed from the post house, only a few palace people were left outside the courtyard of the Dusk family, and more than 100 Shenjia guards were arranged in the alley to be on duty, as soon as the door was closed, there were no palace guards in the courtyard, only to see the window of the study open, and there were several stacks of bright yellow recitals on the table.

Bu Xihuan sat by the window, holding the pen Zhu Pi, the summer wind carried a bamboo leaf into the window to fly into the inkstone, the dark red leaves are green, and the window is bright and the rain is clean.

Twilight in and out of the stove room, when the smoke rises, it is already twilight, the sunset comes, the clouds are thin and the roof tiles are red, the grass in the small courtyard is green and the insects sing late, Twilight Qing came out of the stove with the freshly fried vegetables, and was bumping into Bu Xihuan Looking from behind the window of the study, the two eyes collided, separated by a window, and the pulse was full of love.

If you don't see the bright yellow folds, and don't see the dragon pattern embroidered on his cuffs, he and her are like an ordinary couple at this moment, working at sunrise, returning home at dusk, he is reading behind the cold window, she is cooking on the fire in front of the stove, and the days are dull and leisurely.

However, such days are only three days after all.

This night, a banquet was set up in the main house of the Dusk family, lunch was late, the four of them were not hungry, but Bu Xihuan's appetite was very good, Wei Zhuozhi tasted all the dishes on the table, his eyes were bright after tasting it, and he sighed: "Ordinary ingredients can cook such a taste, why hasn't Weichen met such a cook?" Buy ordinary ingredients, sell them for the money of restaurant meals, and make more money in an inn in three years? ”

This person does not leave the line in three sentences, and Twilight is also convinced.

Bu Xihuan glanced at Wei Zhuo lightly, "It seems that you are committed to business, so the handsome seal of the general of Erpin Zhennan might as well be handed back to the purple kill." ”

The corners of Wei Zhuozhi's mouth twitched, and he closed his mouth and didn't dare to tease Twilight Qing anymore.

Xiao Fang looked at Wei Zhuozhi's expression in his eyes, and showed envy for the food on this table. She grew up in the Qinglou since she was a child, and the matter of being in charge of the spoon was sad for her, and she didn't know if she could learn these things in the future. As soon as she thought of the future, she felt that the experience of these days was like in a dream, what would the eighteen islands of Xingluo look like?

Twilight Qing and Xiao Fang are both silent, the two of them have nothing to say, only the two men are playing a word without a word, as casual as when Bu Xihuan was not in power. But I don't know if there will be such a night again in the future, Wei Zhuozhi's departure, I don't know what year and month it will take to see you next time.

Twilight is not good at words, but she drinks to send her away, and by the time the dinner is over, she is already a little drunk.

Bu Xihuan called the palace people to come in and prepare water to bathe, and then went to the study with Twilight.

There were stacks of codexes on the shelves, and Twilight held them in her hands and looked at the yellowed handwriting, and the past came to her mind, and she felt a faint pain.

Bu Xihuan reached out from behind Twilight, put his hand on the codex, and sighed, "Even if you are drunk, why don't you rest for a while?" ”

As he spoke, he gently closed the Codex and put it back on the shelf, then sat down in a chair with her in his arms. The window is half open, the night breeze blows, and the fragrance of bamboo fills the house. Twilight Qing was a little dizzy, tilted her head and leaned on Bu Xihuan's shoulder, closed her eyes to recuperate, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that those codexes in the Governor's Mansion are a pity. ”

In addition to recording the cases she handled during her military entry into the DPRK, there is also a book about the psychology of micro-expressions, Bu Xihuan is very interested in this, she originally planned to read it to him after it was written, but she didn't expect so many things to happen before it was completed.

"Things in the world are rarely perfect, people are good, and the rest of the things are not forced. If you have a heart for the benefit of the people, these codexes are the same everywhere. ”

“…… Well. ”

Bu Xihuan has always been soothing, Twilight Qing hummed and stopped talking, her breath was as smooth as a feather, with a faint fragrance of fruit wine, spit in front of his throat, like the strongest fragrance in the world, so that his dantian gradually gave birth to a cloud of turbidity, together with the breath also sank a little, couldn't help but caress her waist, looking for a cloud-like moon skirt, looking for a spring nest behind her waist, and gently pressed, his waist suddenly crumbled like a weak willow, pitiful.

Twilight opened her eyes, her eyes as delicate as March spring water, and she lowered her eyes at first glance, "Can't you close the window?" ”

The window was half open, and the palace maids in the courtyard who carried lanterns to illuminate the way lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their eyelids.

"Close the window?" Bu Xi laughed happily, his tone was surprised, but the smile was as strong as wine, "The husband knows that the lady is afraid of the bed in the house, but now the lady is greedy for a cup, and the night is cold, and the husband is afraid that the lady will catch a cold and hurt herself." ”

“……”

"The lady is interested, she might as well change the day, okay?"

"Not good! Shut up! ”

Who said she was in the mood? She just saw that he was a little emotional, thinking that the window was not closed tightly, and the palace people didn't know where to put it in the courtyard, so she reminded him to close the window. When did she say she was interested in having sex in her study? This person has the ability to misinterpret her meaning every time, and if she is so interested, she still needs to ask him to close the window? She went to close it herself!

Bu Xihuan lowered his head and laughed for a while, tonight she was greedy for a cup, and it was better to ventilate the study, he deliberately opened the half of the window in the distance, and sat with her in the lee, lest she be blown cold by the wind. The palace people are preparing water, and it is not suitable for sex on rainy days, no matter how interesting he is, he will not ignore her body.

"The houses in this alley have been bought, and the husband plans to use the next room to house Lu Jingshan, does the lady think it's good?" He laughed and said business.

After returning to Jiangnan, everyone was rewarded for their meritorious deeds, but Lu Jingshan was not entitled. He asked to unload his armor and return to the field, and since then he has been closed in the post house. This person is loyal and righteous, and he escorted him south because of his gratitude, but he refused to accept the title, he felt ashamed and ashamed of Yuan Xiu.

Now, the dart masters in the Shengyuan Dart Bureau have returned to Xingluo with Wei Zhuozhi, and the Wei family has business in all parts of the Jiangnan and at sea, and the dart masters can protect the darts at sea. The people who went south with the army were placed in Bianhe City, and the imperial court deliberately set aside land outside Bianhe City to build villages, and the people who wanted to farm were placed in Zhuangzi. The meritorious soldiers have also been sealed, and they each have their own mansions, but Lu Jingshan still lives in the post house and refuses to see anyone all day long.

Twilight Qing was worried about this matter, but she didn't expect that Bu Xihuan had already thought of a placement method for her, she was silent for a while, and said, "I don't want to make decisions for him, I'll go to the post house after returning to the city, and see if his mind is decided." ”

In fact, if Lu Jingshan is placed here, he may feel better, after all, he is escorting south to repay her kindness, he refuses to go back to Jiangbei, let him guard the courtyard of the Du family, thinking about why he went south, he may feel better.

It's just that...... It was up to him to decide, and she didn't want to force it.

"It's okay, let's go back and talk about it." Bu Xihuan responded lightly.

After talking about this, the * of the two of them cooled down, and in the past few days guarding the mausoleum on the mountain, Bu Xihuan and Dusk Qing slept very little, and after bathing, they went into the house to rest.

……

The next day, Wei Zhuozhi and Xiao Fang bid farewell to the emperor and queen, and set off for Xingluo under the escort of the dart master.

Bu Xihuan and Dui Qing went to the county government court, and the new county magistrate Cui Yuan ran an errand in front of the palace and looked through the files over the years. The people gathered at the gate of the county government to probe their brains, but no one dared to sue the royal court. The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the emperor's determination and strength to rectify the dynasty, the people are still waiting to see if the court is really the master of the people.

Bu Xihuan is not in a hurry, and Dusk Qing is not in a hurry, Cui Yuan looked through the file, and saw that the suspect case was presented to Duqing for review, and Dusk Qing carefully taught, Cui Yuan listened to the more his eyes brightened, and saw that the lively people stood at the gate of the county yamen and had numb legs, but saw that the newly appointed Cui Zhixian's legs and feet were becoming more and more numb, and there was no need for a servant, so he ran to the matching room by himself, sweating profusely, but he became more and more radiant.

On this day, the emperor and queen had meals in the public court, but when the people returned home in the evening, they did not see the emperor and queen come out, when the last group of people at the gate of the yamen dispersed, the public hall was lit up, the thick file was full of bills, the evidence was placed on the ground, and a team of guards went out of the county government by order, and rode their horses to the outside of the city, I don't know what errand to do.

At night, the people in the north of the city heard the sound of Luan driving back to Houchai Lane, and listened carefully to the sound of bangzi on the street with their ears pricked up, and it turned out to be the fourth watch. The next day, when the people of Gushui County gathered at the gate of the county government to watch the excitement, they found that the emperor and queen were already sitting in the public court.

I saw that the public hall was five rooms wide, and a pair of wood inlays on the vermilion lacquer pillars - deceiving people is like deceiving the sky, not deceiving yourself, and the people are the country, how can you bear it!

In the public hall, hang the gold-lettered plaque of "Gushui County Main Hall", there is a three-foot legal table on the high platform, and there is a sea tide screen behind it, and hang the gold-lettered plaque of "Mingjing High Hanging"! On the legal table, there are four treasures of the study room and a quiver, there is a quiver stand on the left, there is a black folding fan on the right, the emperor and queen sit on the chair of the Taishi, the court clothes are added, and the sky is majestic.

The Imperial Forest Army was escorted outside, including the official squad, and the new magistrate Cui Yuan was wearing a seven-grade blue official robe and sat on the left side of the legal table, and there were two thin coffins with black rot under the high platform, and a row of evidence was placed in front of the coffin - bloody clothes, broken armor, residual wood, and sticks!

A half-person-high craggy mountain stone was carried outside the conference hall on the side of the public hall, and a large plaque with golden characters was hung on the hall, which reads - Tianli Guoju!

The people gathered outside the county government exploded with a bang, and the good deeds squeezed out the crowd and ran along the long street to tell each other!

"The case has been tried! The case has been tried! ”

"The saint and the queen sit in the hall and retry the unjust case!"

As soon as the people on the street heard this, the shops were closed, the vegetable market closed their stalls, and the crowd began to pour into the county office, and the county government made a startling wooden beat, which shook the street silently.

Cui Yuan was sitting precariously and shouted: "Bring someone to commit a crime!" ”
