Chapter 446: Counting the Counts (4)
Zhou Zhenwei's back suddenly stiffened, he felt that he must be dazzled, closed and opened again, the grinning little ball climbed up the low couch, holding a small peachwood sword in his hand, looking at him with bright eyes, with a look of novelty.

He just resisted strictly, and he wanted to do a hearty job, how shallow and deep he had calculated, how could he blink an eye, and this would kill someone?
"Go back to sleep!" The sweat on Zhou Zhenwei's forehead dripped down, he frowned and drank with thick eyebrows, and when he saw that the baby didn't react, he reached out and pulled his big hand.
Thinking that his father was playing with him, Wei Bao twisted his fat waist and giggled.
Yuqiao half-glanced at his eyes, and his silver teeth bit the silk handkerchief and waited shyly, but he didn't see Zhou Lang's movements for a long time, how could it be like Wei Bao laughing in his ear?
She opened her eyes wide, screamed, pushed Zhou Zhenwei away, dragged Guo Jin's quilt to cover her body and sat up, her face full of panic.
Wei Bao stopped smiling, looking at his father's shirtless and black face, and then looking at his mother, it was not as gentle and amiable as usual, his eyes were staring at him tightly, especially his father, his expression was terrible.
"Wow!" He crawled into his mother's arms with tears in his eyes.
Yuqiao hurriedly hugged Wei Bao and coaxed him gently, but he was really frightened and cried hoarsely.
There was also sugar humming on the bed.
"This stupid boy!" Zhou Zhenwei is just one step away from being able to go deep into the chaotic jade ....... in Baihua.
After a while, the frustrated Yang Tian sighed, turned around resignedly, endured the stiffness all over his body, put on his robe and stood up, inadvertently peeping at Yuqiao, lowering his eyebrows and holding back his joy, his little face was smeared with red tide, and he looked moving and infuriating.
"Don't say Wei Bao is stupid!" Yuqiao protested, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile.
"You wait, I'm confined in the mansion, and I have a chance." Zhou Zhenwei gritted his teeth and said cruel words, and went to snatch the sword in the stupid boy's hand, and Wei Bao cried even more happily!
Having said that, Zhou Zhenwei is very busy, there are always civil officials and military officials looking for him, staying in the study for a day, and even having a meal has to be in a food box for his mother-in-law to send it.
He didn't have to enter the room until late at night, Yuqiao had coaxed the baby to sleep together, sat quietly on the edge of the bed, looked at the lady's delicate face and the baby's naΓ―ve state for a while, heard someone whispering outside the curtain, frowned, stood up lightly, and turned to leave.
.......
The prefect's yamen of the city of Broken Flowers, a prison cell.
The oil lamps sparkled, the summer rain poured down, and the grass spread on the ground was wet. There was a woman sitting silently against the wall, with a black wooden plate in front of her, on which there was a sharp rice and two small dishes, which had not been moved, and had been put aside for a long time.
Not far from the prison, in front of the half-new and not old square table, two yacha were sitting on a bench on stilts, muttering in a low voice while eating slowly.
Hearing the "squeak" of pushing the door, a yacha looked over and shouted loudly Who is coming? I heard someone laugh and say: "My retainer is holding a banquet in the mansion today, talking about your hard work, let the little one bring a pot of good wine, and give you a boost of energy, don't let that woman be kidnapped." β
"There is a message to the minister, we are conscientious and conscientious, even if we fight for our lives, we will not let the suspect have a chance to escape." Another tall cha replied.
"That's great!" A laugh, the yacha snorted, a struggling sound, quickly stopped moving, and then heard a quiet footstep to the door of the cell, the crisp sound of "click", the iron lock has been opened.
When the woman heard this, she raised her head slightly, and saw a burly man approaching, covered his face in black, only showing thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and looked at her with blazing eyes.
The mother in Zhou Zhenwei's memory is still young, which is really different from Yuqiao.
The jade is like a curling willow branch, which needs his care and pity, but the mother is like a straight pine, and she can rely on him with perseverance and uprightness.
But now the old woman in front of her was born prematurely, her face was full of the vicissitudes of the world, it seemed that she had been whipped, and her robe had torn marks on her body.
"Are you Anahankin? Can there be a Han Chinese name? You...... Do you recognize me? Zhou Zhenwei glanced at the untouched food and removed the black cloth covering his face.
The woman was still staring at him, but when she saw Zhou Zhenwei's face exposed, she didn't look at it, so she said after a while: "If you go back to the official master, the old man has lived in the grassland for decades, and he has never stepped into the customs for half a step, and he has long forgotten his name, and as for this official, he has never seen it." As he spoke, he seemed to be thirsty, and reached for a bowl of water and drank it in small sips.
"You really can't remember? Zhou Jianye is my father. Zhou Zhenwei smiled bitterly, he was sure that this was his mother, not to mention the red mole on his lips, the burn marks on half of her hand were naughty when she was young, and she lit the firewood room, and her mother rushed into the room to carry him out, and was accidentally hit by the burning firewood on the back of her hand.
The woman's expression was dazed, she shook her head, and suddenly became impatient: "These days, one by one they have come to ask me if I know General Zhou, I only heard Yi Mo Juci say that he is a general who can fight, and I don't know anything else." Let's go! Don't bother me in the future. β
Zhou Zhenwei's heart sank, seeing that her demeanor was that she didn't want to recognize him.
He wanted to say something, his ears moved slightly, there was a closed sound of a fan as light as a gossamer, his eyelids jumped, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his lips, and he reprimanded: "The General Zhou in your mouth is me." Even if he had never seen me, nor did he know my father, who had died in battle, how could he slander Mo He Zhu and say that he was my mother? β
The woman put down the water bowl in her hand and said in a dumb voice: "General Zhou really blames the wrong person!" The old woman taught the princess in the Xiongnu Department, got along with the Yan family, and has been living in peace for decades, how could he find fault for himself. And he did not know what had happened, so he was taken here and tortured. Speaking of which, it was General Zhou who involved me. β
She paused and said lightly: "Although General Mohe is narrow-minded, he is not good at conspiracy and trickery, and he must be used by others. β
"General Zhou, it's not easy to stay here for a long time, we have to leave quickly." Hu Ji looked left and right and walked quickly to him, his expression slightly nervous.
Zhou Zhenwei looked at the woman again, but saw that she closed her eyes, simply leaned down on the hemp grass, and actually fell asleep by herself.
"Let's go!" With a low shout, Zhou Zhenwei no longer lingered, and turned away resolutely, as if a gust of wind was drifting by, and the cell instantly regained calm.
The two servants woke up suddenly, hurriedly held the hilt of the sword at their waist and rushed to the prison door, and when they saw that the woman was still there, they breathed a sigh of relief, scolded and went back to the table and sat down, and did not dare to touch the wine again.
A few people appeared in the shadows, Emperor Hongshun shook the jade bone fan in his hand, and asked Zhang Hongchun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, with an expressionless face: "Lord Zhang, tell me, can you see what General Zhou has to do with this woman?" β
"The minister is stupid, and he has never seen the skin." Zhang Hongchun hurriedly replied.
Emperor Hongshun turned his head to look at Li Yannian, his expression was as cold as frost, and he paused word by word: "Li Chenxiang, how long are you going to fool me?" β
Li Yannian hurriedly knelt down and said: "This woman is indeed General Zhou's mother, I am afraid that the two of them are making a show, and I hope that the emperor will give his ministers more time, and the truth will be revealed to the world." β
"Enough!" Emperor Hongshun interrupted sharply: "I am at fault in this matter, and I believe in you again, but now it seems that you are narrow-minded, slandering and slandering meritorious officials, go to your own three provinces!" β
After finishing speaking, he flicked his python sleeves, and left without looking back.
