"Hmm...... I understand. ”

The person on the other side fell into a long thought, and Shen Shuzhao leaned on the back seat, calmly looking at the thoughtful eldest sister in front of her. Everything that needs to be said has been said, so what else can be said between her and her?

Shen Zhuangzhao also sat in the house for a long time, and finally after the two had nothing to talk about, "I'll go back." As she spoke, her fingers that had been clenching Plum Blossom Juan Pa again and again finally let go, and as she got up, the hosta and the chair made a loud noise, echoing in the quiet room.

Shen Shuzhao raised his finger, "Wang Xian, send the eldest lady out." ”

Wang Xian behind the jade curtain bowed down and asked Shen Zhuangzhao to go out.

After she left, a qiē person walked away to cool the tea. Shen Shuzhao touched the cooled teacup, his face was expressionless, but he made a judgment in his heart, the eldest sister will definitely not be the queen's opponent in the future, at least the current Shen Zhuangzhao...... No.

The Shen family and the Xiao family are really destined for an entangled relationship.

Soon after, the days of the eldest daughter of the Shen Chen family entering the palace to practice the ceremony passed quickly, and at the same time, Tingwei also listed the Xiao family as a suspect through various clues. The Queen Mother tapped her finger on the paper and listed all the arrogant and domineering things that the Xiao family did when the emperor first ascended the throne, and the meaning was self-evident.

So Shen Shuzhao also put on men's clothes and went out of the palace again, but this time she was no longer a lobbyist to go to the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries to be the queen mother, she was going to visit ordinary people in the capital. When the carriage drove towards more and more remote places, the green mountains were smoking, and the scattered fields under the dusk were lined up in turn, and the simple carriage finally stopped in front of a small family, and the old woman who was weaving cloth was sitting at the door, and she stopped her movements in confusion, and Wang Xian personally lifted the curtain for Shen Shuzhao on the carriage and helped her down.

The children running in the courtyard saw that there were nobles and did not leave, Shen Shuzhao Yingying stood down, looked up and looked around, and then led everyone in a graceful manner, which made several little girls sitting by the door embroidered with cross-stitch blushing.

"Old man," Shen Shuzhao said with a smile when she came to the old woman, "You were one of the few families who lived near Baigan Pastoral two years ago?" ”

The old woman's eyes widened with vigilance and shook her head desperately.

Seeing this, Shen Shuzhao looked at the evergreen trees in the courtyard helplessly, and smiled, "Old man, we are not from the Xiao Mansion who have a dispute with you for land. On the contrary, there are people from the government behind me, and we are here to avenge you. ”

Hearing the words of the government, the young embroiderer who weaved flowers put down her needle and thread and looked into the courtyard one after another. The old woman just kept her mouth shut, and Shen Shuzhao deliberately lowered her voice and said: "The Xiao Mansion is now going to be investigated by the Son of Heaven, and many unsightly things will come to the surface, and the Son of Heaven ordered our government to come to find out how the land of the summer resort he built outside two years ago came from." Old man, you also lived around back then, do you know how the Xiao Mansion took that piece of land? ”

The old woman stared at Shen Shuzhao deadly, her face was very annoyed, but she refused to speak. Shen Shuzhao thought to herself, why did these civilians want to keep the matter of the eldest son of the Xiao family dominating the land for the Xiao Mansion, is the hush money given enough to appease people's hearts?

"Don't be afraid, the government will protect you."

And the old woman still didn't let go, she stretched out her wrinkled hand, pointed at Shen Shuzhao tremblingly, and then shook her head all the time. This made Shen Shuzhao not know how to speak.

At this time, a shouting came from outside at the gate of the courtyard - "Give me a way, let me go!" ”

She turned around, only to see a middle-aged man with a body of five big and three thick who had just rushed home from the farmland appeared at the door, he was carrying a hoe and covered in mud, and his dirty hands were pushing on the court clothes of those subordinate officials sent by the court lieutenant to accompany Shen Shuzhao, and he slipped in, making many people around him frown and avoid it slightly.

As soon as the middle-aged man came in and saw such a heroic and white-clothed noble son in his yard, he couldn't help but be startled, "You...... Who are you? …… I, we have worked hard to farm, and we have never done anything to be sorry for heaven and earth! ”

The old woman was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and the middle-aged man hurriedly ran over, protected her mother behind her, turned to Shen Shuzhao and said nervously, "What are you going to do-"

Shen Shuzhao showed him kindness in a gentle tone: "I am from the government, and I came here today to ask you something." ”

The middle-aged man frowned violently, why did this boy speak in such a girly voice? However, he couldn't care much at the moment, just twitched the corners of his mouth, and asked rhetorically: "Official?

"Yes." Shen Shuzhao asked step by step, "You should be the Zhao family who lived in Baigan Pastoral back then, right?" ”

"Ah...... Well. ”

"One acre of that land was contracted by you and a few surrounding families, right?"

The middle-aged man looked at her hesitantly, "It's been the past two years, why are you still asking?" ”

Shen Shuzhao smiled kindly, pointed to himself, and then pointed to the officials sent by the court lieutenants behind him, and said, "We are here to avenge your grievances." ”

After a long while, the middle-aged man asked again with a trembling voice: "...... Are you in the Xiao family? ”

"Exactly," Shen Shuzhao did not conceal it, and replied slowly in a rather meaningful tone, "The Son of Heaven is now very intolerant of his relatives who rely on the emperor's authority to do evil...... Therefore, this matter must be investigated. ”

These words made the middle-aged man's expression painful, "Really? ”

"Really, so you just need to tell me the truth about what happened when the Xiao family built a villa on the ground."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately scolded angrily: "Liar! ”

Shen Shuzhao was sprayed with his saliva.

"When the Xiao family forcibly occupied our land, we beat the drum and complained that we were sent back for three days and three nights! I didn't give the villagers results for more than three months! Now, now you come and ask us if you have suffered in the past, you ...... You guys! ”

When he was excited, his fingers almost poked in front of Shen Shuzhao's eyes. Say it's too late, then it's too fast. A slender figure flashed out from behind him, and quickly stretched out his jade-white index finger and instantly pressed against the throat of this middle-aged man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, as long as he moved, he would die instantly, and his eyes said coldly: "Don't move her." ”

The look was so cruel that the prime man didn't dare to move.

Shen Shuzhao pressed the jade finger of the person who made the shot, and said softly: "We are different from them, we are doing things for the Son of Heaven and doing things for Tianli. Sue me - your grievances, the Son of Heaven will not let you go. ”

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, and finally came out of the tray. In order to force them to leave that place, he dug a circle around their homes, cut them off water and food, often sent people to the fields to make trouble, and finally forced them to abandon their hometown and have to flee there, which can be described as extremely selfish. And Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, who played a loyal minister in the court, silently indulged in what his son did.

In the end, Shen Shuzhao asked the old woman why she didn't say it earlier since she had a grudge, and then the middle-aged man who was pinching her legs for the old woman smiled awkwardly and said:

"My mother...... She couldn't speak. ”

Shen Shuzhao was speechless for a while.

The people of the government wrote a complaint for them, and Shen Shuzhao walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, in fact, these stains will be there after a little check, but the emperor of the year would not offend the old ministers of the court for this little thing, so General Xiao would be so unscrupulous, until he assassinated the queen mother's courtiers, he went to the battlefield with the guilt, and Wei Yang went out as the emperor's cronies, holding the tiger talisman in her hand, sitting in the tent to mobilize the whole army, and only returned to the capital after two years of long war, and they were able to meet a month before the queen mother's birthday banquet.

turned around and looked at the green mountains outside the door, but saw several little girls secretly leaning on the edge of the wooden door, and when they saw Shen Shuzhao turning around, they suddenly retracted their heads shyly. Shen Shuzhao smiled at them, and the girls looked back at her with big eyes and long eyelashes. But Shen Shuzhao's gaze was not to look at them, past these girls, she re-landed her gaze somewhere - in the unfathomable mountains and forests, hundreds of brocade guards raised by the Queen Mother were hidden inside, secretly protecting her safety, and even she personally arranged for the tear mole beauty to protect her.

Ever since the assassin's incident, the Queen Mother has attached great importance to the lives of her subordinates.

She watched the sun set, and asked in her heart:

"Wei Yang, my fate is going to be rewritten step by step. Will you be in my future? ”

The sun was setting, and there was not a single answer. On the far hill opposite, the brocade guards in Wan Lin's concealment watched the movements of the people in the village without saying a word, and under the black mask were cold eyes, and past all the silent killers in the trees, a line of soldiers dressed in regular royal army clothes appeared in the clearing behind the forest, and surrounded them with a pavilion as the center. They looked stern and motionless, because the two people inside were big shots.

Between the pavilions, the chess pieces fell lightly, and the crisp sound echoed in the bamboo forest.

Wei Yang put down the sunspot, the chessboard was intricate, black and white strangulation, and the man opposite was holding a white chess piece, frowning and carefully looking at the situation. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally took the next step and hit the heart of the sunspot.

Rou Yi's fingers picked up the sunspot, lifted the wide sleeve and landed it neatly on the plate. After several battles, white finally fell into the endgame of digging his own grave.

"I lost." The man admitted, "The eldest princess is not only superb in martial arts, but also in chess. ”

Wei Yang stopped stroking his fingers on the chess pieces, raised his eyebrows, and replied: "Tingwei Mo said this, if you can play this step, your chess attainments are much deeper than ordinary people." ”

"An hour has passed, and now they should be back."

"Hmm......" Wei Yang put away the chess pieces and said in a low voice.

Tingwei looked at the white-clothed beauty in front of him, in fact, he was very amazed why the eldest princess was always so concerned about leaving the palace, these complicated power schemes, she could have not been involved, or did she say that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, all of them are women with ambitions for power?

"Eldest Princess Kunyi."

"How?"

"Why did you bring so many brocade guards today?"

Not only in the mountains and forests, but also on the paths leading to the small villages, he knew that there were countless royal dead. The number of hundreds is only superficial, and thousands is the most likely......

"Actually, Weichen thinks that a hundred people are enough to protect Miss Shen Er's safety."

"Huh?" Wei Yang looked sideways into the distance in the pavilion, although there was a sheltered bamboo forest in front of her, and after a long time, she said in a cold voice:

"Lone just wanted to be within a radius of three hundred miles—she was the only one to protect her. Do you think there's anything wrong? ”
