Chapter 35

When the sun sets, the shadow of the moon has already appeared from the east. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wang Chang and his entourage, more than a dozen people, through Liu Sheng's arrangement, entered Chang'an City and ran straight to an inn called Fuxi. It's a shadowy industry.

The inn is south-west, and it is mostly a place where the peddlers and pawns settle, and they pretend to be the family members of the down-and-out family, which is reasonable. If it is to spread the news, although it is far away, because these peddlers come and go to the streets and alleys of Chang'an, it is not bad in terms of being well-informed. There are even a few of them, which are spies that the third brother has cultivated a long time ago, specializing in collecting all kinds of intelligence.

Wang Yan dressed up as a maid and followed behind Xu. When the innkeeper came to receive him, he seemed to unintentionally expose the jade plate of the palace and fell into the eyes of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, of medium stature, with a slightly fat appearance, and an ordinary businessman. When he saw the jade plaque, he didn't move, and arranged a group of people to settle in the small courtyard behind. But later, I saw the shopkeeper's wife knocking on the door and coming in, and asked Xu with a gentle smile. It wasn't until Wang Yan dismissed the people next to her that she changed her attitude and became more respectful.

Wang Yan had to admire the shopkeeper's prudence and prudence, and the third brother's talent to know people.

"Who is this?" The shopkeeper got up and did not answer to Xu first, but turned to Wang Yan and asked.

What the husband said just now, the one who showed him the jade plaque of the palace logo was a blue-suited maid with slightly different clothes and slightly sharp eyebrows and eyes, and it was probably this person. The jade plate in the palace is only available to several masters in the palace, and it is impossible for an ordinary maid to take the jade card, so the husband taught her to pay special attention.

"The eldest daughter of the palace, I am the sixth master of the palace." Xu Shi Dao.

At this time, Wang Yan's posture of lowering her head and eyebrows changed, showing the natural nobility on her body, and smiled faintly at the shopkeeper's wife.

The shopkeeper's wife immediately saluted and said, "I didn't know that it was the arrival of the two ladies, and they were disappointed." ”

"Madame is gracious." Xu picked up the teacup, smiled faintly, and rubbed one hand on the teacup unintentionally.

Wang Yan saw the anxiety in Xu's heart, poured a cup of tea, stepped forward, came to the shopkeeper's wife, handed it to her with a smile, and said: "We just came back from visiting relatives, and we learned that something happened in the house, and we are rich idlers who don't care about anything at home on weekdays...... Mrs. Wanwang can help. ”

"Sister-in-law, don't say that again, the concubine doesn't dare to disobey." The shopkeeper's wife hurriedly excused herself and did not dare to take the cup of tea.

At a time when the hierarchy of respect and inferiority is very strict, the princess is forced and irreproachable, but in this way, it will lose the hearts of the people, and it is a subordinate move made by people who do not know things. Besides, these people were arranged by the third brother, and without his permission at this time, she used the name of the palace to let them do things without authorization, which was already against the principle of master and servant. If they refuse, they have a point.

Wang Yan pursed her lips and looked at Xu, who also left the main seat at this time and bowed to the shopkeeper's wife.

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

Wang Yan looked at it, her expression finally retracted, put the teacup down, and said, "Then the two of us are welcome, Mrs. knows, what is happening in the house now?" ”

The shopkeeper's wife showed hesitation on her face and said, "Wang Shangshu is in prison." ”

"What?" Wang Yan and Xu both exclaimed in low voices.

The worst plan for Wang Yan is to put the emperor under house arrest for them, which is not unheard of in her previous life, but now it is only half a month since she left, as an important minister of the court, she will go to prison so easily, even as the emperor, I am afraid that it will be a public wrath. Unless it's ...... The great sin of treason!

Xu Shi seemed to think of this, and his face turned pale in an instant.

However, Wang Yun has been cautious all his life, except for the rescue of Liu Sheng, there is no other major handle, Liu Sheng is now a nominally awarded general position, and Sun Shaozu is impossible to take out this crime without authorization before his wings are full, isn't he afraid of the counterattack of the political faction headed by Wang Yun afterwards? Other people may still have concerns and tie their hands, but he has just stepped into the political arena now, and he is a small school scrivener, and he doesn't need to be disposed of.

"What is the charge?" Xu Shi asked with difficulty in a hoarse voice.

The shopkeeper sighed, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "Collaboration with the enemy." ”

"When?" Wang Chang followed the Q&A.

"Just sent the news. About tomorrow, the entire Chang'an City will be known. ”

Xu Shi took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair. looked at Wang Yan, and her expression changed several times.

Wang Yan was also shocked, but when she saw her appearance, she suddenly calmed down.

Xu Shi finally, under the gaze of Wang Yan, his expression fell silent, and there was a little strangeness and firmness in his eyes.

Slowly stood up, didn't speak, went straight around Wang Yan, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wang Yan.

"Let it go."

"What are you going to do?"

"What? Do you want to stay as a prostitute? Xu smiled sarcastically and said.

"What?" Wang Yan was stunned for a moment.

Xu tried hard to tear Wang Yan away, but was grabbed harder, Wang Yan said, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Throughout the ages, no one has been convicted of treason and collaboration with the enemy, and those who can be rehabilitated in a short period of time will stay, either to sell into the hook or to become a military prostitute," Xu's eyes were red, like a crazy beast, and suddenly smiled miserably, "You have also been abandoned." Mother obviously wrote a letter to the sixth master and asked him to hide in the Zhuangzi to avoid it, but she didn't let you know, obviously because she was afraid that I would drag down the sixth master's leg and make him ......"

When Wang Yan heard this, she categorically denied: "If my mother had known a long time ago, what she should have done was not to let the sixth brother escape, but to ask for help!" Besides, since it is the Zhuangzi of the family, the sixth brother will be found soon even if he dodges. ”

Xu Shi looked at her and sneered.

Wang Yan also looked at her for a moment, and gradually became cold, knowing that there were big loopholes in what she said, and she couldn't even convince herself. Finally, let go of the hand.

Actually, Wang Yan didn't know what her mother was thinking, she couldn't understand her mother all the time. But she didn't believe that she was given up by her mother. After all, she was the only one who survived in her previous life. Although, it was because she was already a wife.

A daughter of the right age, like a beautiful jewel at the price, needs someone who knows the pearl and jade, and holds a considerable gift in exchange.

This is what her mother told her gently and softly in the boudoir, in short, doesn't it mean to sell at a price? Her mother, who is so gentle, also sees herself as nothing more than an object.

Xu Shi turned around, and when he opened the door, he said in a low voice: "If you had followed Sun Lang obediently just now, we would have been fine." ”

"You think he's a good one?" Wang Yan sneered.

Okay?

Do you want to continue to be this sister-in-law?

When the catastrophe comes, they fly separately. How could Wang Yan complain about her.
