The news that Zhao Gao fell off his horse and broke his thigh spread throughout Xianyang's upper circles within a few days.

When people talk about this, they think it's a little funny, why did he fall off his horse because he was so good at driving horses, this business level can't stand the test of God, right?

And the merchants who have some dealings with him, such as the shop that often makes swords for him, feel that this is a strange thing, he is such a capable person, will fall off the horse? It's all nonsense, isn't it? Maybe someone cleaned him up, and he was afraid that it wouldn't sound good to say, so he made up such a reason!

But, spread to spread, lively to lively, none of these unpleasant things can reach Zhao Gao's ears. Even if Zhao Gao heard about it, with his current situation, he wouldn't care too much. He lay on the kang all day long, pondering one thing, who had done it to him.

In heavy rain, there are not many pedestrians on the road, but there are still a few people on horseback and on foot. That day, he didn't use the car, because the emperor asked people to summon, it was not too slow, and it was faster to ride a horse in the rain than to take a car. However, in that kind of weather, everyone wore hats and robes, and even if he paid attention, he couldn't see much difference.

What's more, at that time, his mind was all on the story told by the emperor, and it was not until Ma suddenly did not listen to the call that he woke up from that story.

Who is it that calculates against him?

Looking at the consequences, it must be a very good kung fu to be able to shoot iron sand into the horse's butt groove. But there are many masters in Xianyang, not to mention the retainers of each big man, they are rich families who have moved from all over the country, which family doesn't have one or two skills? Where did he find out?

He thought of a few suspicions. For example, Meng Yi.

There has always been friction between the two, and last time the emperor was choked enough, and he couldn't wait to take the fire out of him. However, this method is too low-level. Meng Yi is the kind of person who has to pose when he does bad things, he shouldn't be able to look down on this method, right?

And what about the eldest prince Fusu? He got Xiao Han to the palace, what a thrill this is for the eldest prince! However, the eldest prince is used to being high, and people don't know their own weight. You asked him to lower his body and do something about it. Will he?

What about Lees? They don't have any big feuds, do they? It's a competitive relationship, occasionally unconvinced, to compete for your superiority and my inferiority. However, the old is also old. As for how he used this method to harm others and hurt himself?

Come and think about it. Zhao Gao was shocked to find out. In the Manchu Dynasty, he had very few friends, but the closest people. It seems to be the emperor, but the emperor focused his eyes on his crotch for a while that day, and now when he thinks about it, it still makes people feel cold.

Moreover, he fell like this, and the emperor didn't send anyone to take a look, this relationship between the monarch and the minister, cough, it's chilling!

……

Well? Hu Hai's little rabbit cub didn't come to see it, did he really not know if he was injured, or was he born with a white-eyed wolf?

The more Zhao Gao thought about it, the more he felt the coldness of the world, and the more he realized the hardships of these years. The emperor said that his fertility is not strong, think about it, yes, if he also has a lot of children, how can it be better than Yuting is busy going in and out alone, how can he stand beside him and help him get justice.

No, when he is well, he will have to find a woman, and it is better to plant more than to harvest nothing.

……

I can't sleep. When you are angry, you have nowhere to fight back, and it makes people suffocate when you think about it. Moreover, it cannot be publicized yet. With his identity, he can't find out why he publicized it, but it made people laugh.

I had an injury on my leg, and I couldn't turn over if I wanted to, so I had to lie upright. The night became especially long.

How? Suddenly there was a fire outside the house, a fire leaking through the crack in the door, and there was a smell of smoke, quite a big smell of smoke.

Not good, it's on fire!

"Yuting, Brother Chun, Zhao Yu, Jiye ......"

While shouting all the way, the yard had already moved. Adults and children whimper.

Jiye slammed the door with a "bang", and crawled onto the kang with a snort, "Grandpa, grandpa, it's on fire, get up quickly!" ”

"Don't panic, don't panic." He pulled his little grandson into his arms. He really didn't panic. Look at the fire, it's still far from his house, can't the people in the courtyard save the fire?

The bells were clanging, the people were shouting and the horses were shouting, and after about half an hour, the movement gradually became smaller, and the people outside shouted, "Okay, okay." I'll clean it up tomorrow morning. It was Zhao Yu's voice.

"Brother Dong, you and your father are on duty together!" It was Yuting's voice.

Brother Dong answered and said, "Miss, Brother Dong is going to clean up the carriage." ”

After a while, Zhao Yu and Yuting both came in. The smell of fireworks that the two brought into a room.

"Mother, are you alright?" Jiye got up and asked worriedly.

Yuting walked over, touched his head, and said, "Okay." It's okay. ”

Zhao Yu went over and turned the lights on.

"Master, ask Brother Chun to accompany you at night, port water or something."

Yuting said, "No, I'll sleep here at night." Jiye also came. ”

Zhao Gao shook his head, he looked at his daughter's messy hair, smiled, and said, "No one needs it, I, Zhao Gao, just broke one leg, and when both legs are broken, you can accompany me again." ”

Yuting shook her head and complained, "Daddy, what can you do, if the fire is too big, I think you can escape?" ”

Zhao Gao smiled again, and he said: "Then I won't run away, I believe that my Yuting will not leave her alone." To die, we are also a family to die together. ”

Yuting shook her head, sighed in her heart, poured a glass of water, and put it in her father's hand.

"Zhao Yu, where is it?" Owing to drink saliva, Zhao Gao asked.

"Sir, it's the barn and the hay shed. Fortunately, it has been raining for the past few days, and the wood is damp, and fortunately there is no wind tonight, or else, alas, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched, he kind of figured it out, the person who dealt with him was not trying to kill him, but deliberately disgusting him and tossing him. This is to vent anger!

"Master, let's let someone from Xianyang County check tomorrow?"

Zhao Gao shook his head. He said, "No, I can't find out the results, so you all go back to sleep." ”

Zhao Yu and Yuting glanced at each other, hesitated slightly, and went out with Jiye.

The room was quiet, and Zhao Gao's heart was brighter.

He pondered that eighty percent of this matter was done by the eldest prince Fusu. Over the years, he has done a lot of ruthless things, but there are few people who can be so bold to attack him again and again. He offended the eldest prince miserably.

However, it was done. He doesn't regret it.

People always have to find a way forward for themselves.

Over the years, he has been able to become a close minister of the Son of Heaven. Mainly not because of his good skills and outstanding talents, but because he can figure out the emperor's thoughts. If I miss that opportunity, I'm afraid I'll miss a lot.

Hu Hai is half dead. Originally, it was still favored. Since wave after wave of public opinion attacks. The emperor still protects him. But after all, it's not the same as it used to be. Such a headache son exhausted the love and patience of his old man. Therefore, Zhao Gao didn't dare to count on him.

Zhao Gao can only rely on himself.

can only keep looking for the emperor's excitement. Then, meet him!

As long as the emperor is satisfied, Zhao Gao will be rich and noble, and he will be Antai.

However, Hu Hai's side can't be lost yet, after all, it is a connection between him and the royal family. Whether he succeeds or not, it doesn't matter, it is also very necessary for the emperor to see his dedication to Hu Hai.

……

As soon as I thought about something, I couldn't sleep all night.

"Master, master," Zhao Yu hurriedly pushed the door in.

Zhao Gao opened his tired eyes and looked at it, just a little sleepy, this guy came in, this is looking for a fight, right?

Zhao Yu looked at that look and shrank back in fright, but he didn't know what to say. He only thought about doing things, but forgot that the old man was a sick man.

"Say!"

"Oh," Zhao Yu hurriedly bowed his waist, took two steps on his knees, and presented something with both hands.

"Sir, this was found on the pillar of the barn. Maybe this thing lit the fire. ”

Zhao Gao glanced at it, stretched out his hand and took it. This is the head of the crossbow, which is smaller than the average crossbow, but it does a good job. It may be that the tail is burned out, and only the part that cannot be burned is left.

"How do you think this thing got in?"

Zhao Yu said: "According to Zhao Yu, he came in from a tree, and the wall of our courtyard is quite high!" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Gao closed his eyes.

"So, master, let's hand this thing over to the Xianyang County Ya, shall we?"

Zhao Gao shook his head, yawned, and said, "You go out, don't let people talk nonsense." That's it, and keep a lot of hands for the night. ”

He knew that he couldn't find anything out of it. Since people are calculating, they must have calculated, and with those tolerances in Xianyang County, what can they do, they can only shout that the city is full of wind and rain, and everyone knows it.

Son, you have a time to vent your anger, right? If it's endless, it's not that Zhao can't get along with you!

However, things are not as Zhao Gao thought.

The next night, the fire was up again.

The family was busy getting up to put out the fire, and the cattle in the barn were so panicked that even the people outside the courtyard gate shouted.

When Jiye ran in, Zhao Gao was indeed a little panicked. This time the fire was bigger than last night, as if people's footsteps were chaotic, and it seemed that there was not one fire, but multiple fires.

Yuting was directing the firefighting with a crying voice. This voice of eagerness and fear made Zhao Gao feel distressed, growing up so big, this child has never been so afraid.

Zhao Yu shouted: "Open the courtyard door, open the courtyard door, and let the neighbors come in to help put out the fire!" ”

Yuting shouted: "You put out the fire, Brother Chun, Brother Dong, go in and put the master out!" ”

The door opened, and Brother Chun and Brother Dong rushed in, followed by Yuting.

"Dad, let's go! Jiye, come, let my mother carry it! ”

Zhao Gao didn't hesitate this time, straightened up and let people put him out.

The yard was full of people and fires. The neighbors are also in a hurry, if this fire spreads, everyone will have to suffer.

Zhao Gao was carried out of the courtyard, and Brother Dong slowly put him down and let him sit under the tree. Jiye grabbed one of his arms in fear, and his body trembled a little.

He touched the child's head, held the child in his arms, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, as long as grandpa is here, everything will pass!" ”

……

The fire was still extinguished. Except for the two upper rooms, I can't see anything else. People passing by were embarrassed when they saw this tragic situation. People say that a good life is cooked with fire, but it is really not good if the fire is too big!

Xianyang County received a report.

Zhao Gao didn't expect them to find out anything, but the movement was so big, if he hadn't made a move, it would make people feel suspicious, and of course, it also looked down on him Zhao Gao.

In the midst of the devastation, Hu Hai came.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he sniffled first. The fire is gone, the smoke is gone, but the smell is still there.

The ground has been simply cleaned up, but there are traces of water everywhere, and I don't know how to make a fuss last night!

"Lord Zhao, Hu Hai has come to see you." As soon as he entered the door, Hu Hai said so.

Zhao Gao opened his eyes tiredly, at this moment, he just wanted to sleep, and spent half the night outside, caught the wind and cold, and his whole body was uncomfortable.

"Let's sit down for a while, Zhao is sick and has no energy."

Hu Hai was not happy when he heard it. Why is this so unpleasant? Don't come and see, don't care, how can you say that you're also the one who worries about me, but look at you, you're still holding the shelf, and you don't look at yourself, when is this?!

He snorted lightly and said, "Since that's the case, Lord Zhao should rest." With that, he turned and left.

Zhao Yu, who came in with him, was stunned, thought about it, and hurriedly followed out to see off the guests.

In the courtyard, Yuting was directing the cleanup, and people from Xianyang County were asking questions and making notes.

A man ran in from outside the courtyard and said, "There is nothing to be seen in the trees, there is no sign of breaking." It had just rained, and it was clean on top. ”

The one at the head let out an "oh".

Hu Hai walked over, stood still in front of Yuting, and said lukewarmly: "If there is nothing to eat and no use, Hu Hai will let someone send it over to save the emergency." ”

Yuting was not happy when she heard it. Although their family has suffered a disaster, is it useless if they don't eat?

"Don't bother with it, Lord Zhao is still alive!" (To be continued.) )
