Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Rat-Throwing Machine
I disguised it and said, "I just heard that the remnants of the Zhu family are active now, you are the Zhu family, and so is Mr. Mu." This Mu Yanfei is so strange again. ”
"She was raised by Mr. Mu, and Mr. Mu usually takes her with him when he has a church." Zhou Sinian frowned and pondered, "I used to think that she was very obedient, except for practicing the piano and singing, I didn't say much, but now that Mr. Mu himself has an accident, how much she knows and how deep she has fallen, it's really hard to say." ”
"Don't you think she's too obedient?" I said, "It's like everything has nothing to do with you, like a puppet." For example, if she is asked to drink cold medicine, she will drink it, she will be your concubine when she enters the door, will you have a good life if you can't give birth? Normal people will not agree, someone must accuse her. ”
Zhou Sinian said: "Her deed of sale was given to me by Mr. Mu, you know, our song and dance club just provides a place for the girls, and then divides it proportionally, and never buys people." She followed Mr. Mu into the dance club. ”
"But I heard Qingqing say that her master is not Mr. Mu," at the mention of Qingqing, my heart became sad again, "Qingqing doesn't know who her master is." only said that she wanted to leave, and when her cousin wanted to take her into the house, she was happy for a while, but who knew that something happened to the Du family again. After speaking, his heart was sour, and he sighed.
Zhou Sinian said: "Mr. Mu doesn't have any friends in the capital, and with his relationship with Yu Xuanji, it is really possible that Mu Yanfei was controlled by Yu Xuanji." I said, "In other words, Mu Yanfei is also a member of the Zhu family." Zhou Sinian shook his head: "Don't think about Mu Yanfei, what can a woman do, let people stare at her, you should stay away from her, be careful that she hurts you." I couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, there are so many stories about our princess taking a concubine, I can't blame me this time, right?" You don't have that life, who told you to swear? These things are very smart! ”
Zhou Sinian ignored my schadenfreude and continued to talk about the topic just now, he sneered: "This is also the Zhu family, that is also the Zhu family, how can there be so many Zhu families?" All the people who could be killed back then were killed, and now these are just a group of thieves who want to rebel under the banner of the Zhu family. I said, "That's what I said, but you are the real Zhu family." He said indifferently: "It's okay, what is my Zhu family, the emperor knows my details best, and he will trust me." ”
I smiled disappringly: "I could trust you before, but now, if he hears that you have taken Mr. Mu's goddaughter into the mansion as a concubine, it will be difficult to say." He smiled and said: "It's okay, if he really suspects, I'll sue him, his good niece has already rectified it for him, and I don't dare to approach her at all now, this method is really not inferior to Queen Wei back then." ”
I glared at him and said, "Where do I have any means, the main thing is that you have me in your heart, believe me, and care about my thoughts." He said sadly, "The queen mother is not a vicious woman, outsiders see the queen mother as covering the sky with one hand, I think she is a poor woman, you don't know how mean the father is to the queen mother." ”
"That's it!" Zhou Sinian's voice became stern, he approached me, and lowered his voice: "Don't forget how your father died, the Dragon Guards are still investigating this matter, don't you want to see Qingqing?" I promise you'll keep your mouth shut when you see it. "The Dragon Guards are still investigating the cause of his father's death? Didn't you report the cause of the death of your father? Why do you always check the affairs of your father? I was terrified, hugged him and said, "I'm scared." ”
Zhou Sinian shook his head: "I'm afraid don't do it at the beginning, the emperor now wants to know why the emperor suddenly fell ill, someone secretly reported to the emperor, the emperor was poisoned, and the emperor is worried that this person may continue to commit murder." Also, it is rumored that the child conceived by your mother was born, but was killed. I reported to the emperor that the child was not born to his father, so he wanted to find out who the child's father was to prove that he was not wrongly seated. ”
My voice trembled, and I said, "Didn't you say that these two things were done by Yu Xuanji?" Zhou Sinian said sternly: "Is there only a jade mystery?" I didn't dare to speak up, he continued: "If Yu Xuanji is caught, many secrets will not be kept. I originally thought that he was just an ordinary Taoist priest, but now that I look at it, Yu Xuanji may be one of these people, they are intertwined, and they have formed a net, which is not easy to do. ”
Zhou Sinian's voice softened: "I don't want you to have anything to do, don't think that if the Dragon Guards let you come back, they will ignore you." ”
A few days later, I heard that there were folk jugglers on the streets, who made an opera about Li Chaozong's pampering of children and not entering the harem, and performed them in the streets and alleys, implying that the Li family was withering and would soon be cut off.
Although these artists were quickly suppressed, there was a wave of people who were not afraid of death who jumped out, and moved out the story of Emperor Gaozu robbing the Zhu family of the country, and then treacherously beheaded the Zhu family, and there were many onlookers.
With the occurrence of these man-made events, a major earthquake broke out in the southwest. Many villages and towns were wiped out in an instant, and it is said that many yellow charms floated down in the earthquake, with shocking eight characters on them: "Li, Zhu's angelica".
I was very scared in my heart, these were the usual methods used by Yu Xuanji, so I made up my mind and said to Zhou Sinian: "Brother Nian, there is something I have never dared to tell you, you have to promise not to be angry before I say it." ”
He smiled playfully and said, "I can't guarantee whether I will be angry or not, it depends on what bad things you do again." I was so anxious that he smiled so much that he couldn't help but get angry and say, "Where did I do something bad!" Then he restrained his smile and said, "Okay, I'm not angry." You say! ”
Only then did I cautiously tell what happened to Yu Xuanji a few months ago: "He said that he was a relict of the Zhu family and was seeking to restore the country for you, and he said that you don't have to do anything, just wait." ”
"Really?" A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Sinian's mouth, "He wants me to thank him?" I continued: "He asked me to bring you a jade pendant, but I didn't agree, he said he would find someone else to help." You still don't look like you have seen the jade pendant, do you? Zhou Sinian said: "No." ”
After listening to me, Zhou Sinian asked, "What do you think?" I said, "I think he's on the move, maybe somewhere we don't know, there's an army hidden, or an army is being built, and that's why he's running out of public money." ”
His expression became solemn and said: "Now the army of the whole country is in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor is clear that every army sends civilian officials to teach officers to read, and secretly, the dragon guards continue to train new people and send them to various places. If they want to have an army, they must be reorganized, the composition of this army," he pondered for a moment and stood up, "Sun City is the place with the largest number of people in the Zhu Clan, and I must immediately show my attitude and resolutely be loyal to the Li Clan and the current Saint." The people of Sun City cannot be allowed to die in vain under the wolf ambitions of these people. ”
