Chapter 165: Retreat is Advance

Regarding the truth about the ghost king Shuizhai Zong Zhengke's escape from the assassination, of course his own people will not talk much, Xiao Pengju also helped put pressure on the You family, so that the boat lady who drove the boat for Xu and others that day shut up. Fortunately, there is Yan Yuzhen, the famous young marshal of the Yan family, and he has to borrow his name to use it.

Therefore, except for a few people around Xiao Pengju, the three girls of Zongzheng who are known to everyone are weak and can take her life very lightly, soft persimmons.

Everyone spares their lives, no matter how attractive the title of the princess of Qin is, she must have a life to enjoy. What's more, the possibility that the third girl of Zongzheng can inherit the title is really a little small, she decisively chose to back down in the face of the worries of life, no matter who she is, she can only praise her, a wise move!

But the whirlpool of the Xiao family is not something that can be withdrawn if you want to. Why doesn't Zong Zhengke know? She just wants to retreat and advance and gain more power for herself to act freely. She didn't want to be under Xiao's surveillance in the future.

Xiao Pengju apparently figured this out quickly, so he politely sent off the two deacons and Xiao Shou, saying that he and his cousin had a few heartfelt words. Xiao Lu Xiao Shou and Archdeacon Liu also had to go back to report the current progress of the Changchun Courtyard murder case to their immediate bosses, so they did not stay for long.

When only the two cousins were left in the living room of the main house, Xiao Pengju didn't hide it anymore, opened the skylight and said brightly, and said with a wry smile: "Cousin, I know you don't really want to move out." If you have any requests, you may as well say them. If I can do it, I will do it for you. Even if you can't do it, I'll find another way to compensate you. ”

Zong Zhengke didn't mention his own conditions first, and asked a question that had nothing to do with this matter: "My grandfather's new appointment should come down, right?" ”

Xiao Pengju sighed in his heart, and in the face of Zong Zhengke's bright and sharp gaze, he smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I really can't hide it from you!" Grandpa should be able to receive an appointment in the next few days. ”

"What official position do you hold in Lianghang County?" Zong Zhengke asked again.

Xiao Pengju smiled more and more bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Cousin, you are so smart, I am really stressed by my cousin." The grandfather of the in-laws is about to take up the post of the right deputy capital of the Imperial History Stage, patrolling Lianghang County, and also in charge of the prison. ”

Yo, that's great! Kyokun-ri. The imperial history is a very annoying and painful official position. But that's an ordinary imperial history, and since he has become the third person in the imperial history platform, he naturally won't suffer from so much idleness. This official position is both high and noble. It is very suitable for officials from scholarly families.

Moreover, there is no need to stay in Beijing, but to patrol the richest and most prosperous Lianghang County - although the only two jurisdictions of Lianghang County, Suzhou and Yunnan, are special deposits, but this patrol place is still not too beautiful. As for prison, this is my grandfather's old business. I'm sure he'll love it.

The man who arranged this position for his grandfather was really painstaking. not only took care of the official position, but also thought of the benefits, and also took care of my own mood. Zong Zhengke secretly praised it in his heart, but he didn't know whose handwriting it was.

Xiao Pengju seemed to know her doubts, and answered directly: "This is the result of your uncle's grandfather, Zong Zhengge, and my father's discussion. The grandfather of the in-laws patrolled the Lianghang County, and the family would go to Beijing, and the family would be taken care of by the patriarch's room and the second room, so as not to worry about the grandfather's future. Although the patrol is located in Suzhou and Hangzhou Mansion, it can also be moved to Yunhang Mansion. It is convenient for your grandparents and grandchildren to get together. ”

Zong Zhengke asked: "When my grandfather arrives, can I live with his old man?" ”

Xiao Peng raised his voice and said, "Cousin, what do you say?" ”

Zong Zhengke snorted coldly. Xiao Pengju sighed and said, "You can say your request, right?" As long as you don't move out of this garden, you can say anything. ”

"If you want me to be a shield for your people in Xifu, you naturally want to show your sincerity." Zong Zhengke's face was frosty, and he said coldly, "My two maid rings are missing, you have to help me find them." Changshun-in, I can continue to live. But. I can only keep a maximum of twenty of the people who serve here, and all the rest will be replaced by my people. ”

Xiao Pengju was silent for a moment and said, "Where are your people?" ”

"As long as you give them permission to come in. Soon, they'll be in front of you. Zong Zhengke said slowly, "You know, Su Hui and I are good friends. She was able to lend me a lot of people. And you don't look at that. Do you want me to stay in the garden? ”

"No problem, I can grant you this request. Even, it's okay for everyone to withdraw. Xiao Peng raised his teeth and smiled, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Oh. Some. Zong Zhengke suddenly smiled lightly and looked outside the door of the main room, "I want Xiao Yingying to learn a big lesson that she will never forget, and I want her to be qualified to participate in the competition." In addition," she looked up at the gorgeous Chengchen above her head, "please send some medicinal herbs to my cousin, I want to prepare some antidote potions, so as not to become weaker and weaker in the future, and even linger on the sickbed and die!" ”

"Damn it!" Xiao Pengju's face changed greatly. Looking at his eyes, he clearly knew who was making trouble in secret, but he didn't say it, just said to Zong Zheng apologetically, "I'm really sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter. This person you want to keep will be exchanged for your three commitments. Zong Zhengke smiled gently and said, "Otherwise, I will invite someone to take her life!" A sword cuts the throat, it's pretty neat, isn't it? ”

Xiao Pengju's face changed, staring at Zong Zhengke for a long time before he said, "Cousin, haven't you been cultivating in the nunnery for ten years?" How can a person who eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long ask for people's lives at every turn? ”

What did she mean in her words, could it be that the nurse was actually the hand she instructed someone to do? Who is it?! Who can have such a clever skill, in and out of Shouchun Garden like no one! Was this her warning and reliance?

"You mean I'm ruthless? Don't be ruthless, I, an orphan girl with no father and no mother, entered the place where tigers and wolves were served, and I am afraid that I don't even know how to die. Zong Zheng sneered, "Don't say any more high-sounding words, and you will be fooled by my grandfather, who still believes in family affection and justice." Sixteenth cousin, to tell you the truth, I know more than you know about the private affairs of the palace dispute! ”

The Heavenly Family has no family affection, and the Lianghang Xiao family is the descendant of the princess of the Qin State who failed to compete for the throne, and how many veins and warmth do you expect to have in this huge family? For example, Xiao Pengju speaks word by word better than he sings, but in the attribution of the title of princess of Qin State, he obviously has his own careful thoughts.

Zong Zhengke believed that Xiao Pengju would never really let her get the title of princess of Qin State. All he needed, and those behind him, needed was a striking target to keep the man they really wanted to protect from the arrows. (To be continued.) )
