Aristocracy? Lin Zhiqi shook her head, let's not say that the Yang family is a businessman, just a knighthood, she just knows the ranking of a princess.

"In the more than 300 years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, the princes of the past dynasties have developed into a very large group just by dividing the princes. What's more, there are nobles who are not relatives of the emperor. Just like our Rong family, because of the military exploits and the glory of protecting the Western Xinjiang for generations, we have a hereditary dukedom. And my maternal grandfather, Jia's family. ”

Speaking of this, Rong Ziyu paused, "Cousin Qi knows that the Jia family has a viscount title, right?" ”

Lin Zhiqi nodded, Lychee had muttered before, "It seems to have been passed down from Mrs. Jia's generation." ”

"Yes. Any idea how it came about? ”

Lin Zhiqi thought for a while and asked tentatively, "From the dragon's skill?" ”

Seeing Lin Zhiqi's cautious appearance, Rong Ziyu smiled, "Almost!" There are many similar titles. And then there's the last one, the honorable one. ”

"In name only?"

"It's not completely untrue, it's just that he doesn't receive the court's money, he has no right to participate in politics, and he still has a communicative status. It is generally a gift, or a great good house recommended by the place. It's a family honor. Sometimes titles are given instead of specific titles. ”

Lin Zhiqi nodded in understanding, "What do you say about what it has to do with those people going to the south?" ”

"Of course it does!" Eiko, who had been eating silently, suddenly said, "Because they won't be there soon." The tone was full of schadenfreude.

"Not? Isn't it? Lin Zhiqi's head was full of question marks.

"It's just not!"

"Do you want to be beaten?" Lin Zhiqi squinted her eyes and smiled.

Rong Ziqi looked at Rong Ziyu rescued.

Rong Ziyu rolled his eyes and helplessly explained to him, "The third brother is talking about their titles. ”

And then. Rong Ziyu simply said that the court may have to abolish some titles, "On the one hand, we must reduce expenses, and on the other hand. It's just that in recent years, there have been more and more things that have caused trouble in the local area. ”

"So, these are taking the emperor's southern tour to brush up on their presence and favorability?"

"Brush? Eh, does it increase? Almost! ”

Knowing the truth, Lin Zhiqi began to concentrate on eating, but while eating, she suddenly stopped again. "That's not right! If you want to brush up on your favorability, why are you still staying here, and they are still waiting to form a group together? ”

The post station outside the city is considered large. And the distance is not far, those who want to spend the night here are generally those who arrive after the city gate is closed, or those who do not plan to enter the city, and the three of them arrive. Actually, it's still early. She remembered that what Steward Qi said was "can't be moved", that is, it was already full of people.

The brothers looked at each other, but they didn't pay any attention to this.

"Maybe it's inconvenient to hurry!" Rong Ziyu said.

"They must be thinking about whether or not to go into the city for a birthday feast." Eiko period said.

Lin Zhiqi: "......" dared to love the two of you just guessing, and explained so much seriously.

Rong Ziyu was a little embarrassed to ask the guards to ask the guys at the post station, and quickly got an answer.

In fact, it's not too complicated, and there are indeed nobles with the same destination as the brothers said, and some of them arrived by boat like them, so they stayed here. Part. On the contrary, they have to wait for the ship that will leave tomorrow. Therefore, I also stayed in advance. There are also some people who are actually preparing to enter the city, and somehow, stay outside the city. Finally, there are some people, who seem to be waiting for someone, who have been here for two or three days.

Knowing the truth, the three of them just listened to the boring things, and did not investigate the real reason why the others lived in the inn.

After all, the people who can live in the post station are people with status, and it's not good to explore too much.

Unbeknownst to them, in a room in a courtyard, a group of people were sharpening their knives.

A young man dressed as a noble boy in brocade said to the others, "Rest early tonight, and tomorrow we will go into the city." Don't go wrong at the last minute, do you understand? ”

"Understood!" A group of people spoke in unison, but they didn't dare to raise their voices, so they could only respond in a low voice.

A good night's sleep. Early the next morning, the shopkeeper Qin asked people to pick up some of the goods parked at the dock yesterday, and at the same time, they counted the goods that were pulled to the post station, and waited for the two compartments to converge before letting people notify Lin Zhiqi that they were leaving.

At this time, the people at the post station also left one after another. When he saw the noble son of brocade clothes and his party, Shopkeeper Qin couldn't help frowning, these people didn't give him a good feeling.

"Shopkeeper, those people don't look good!" A confidant came up and said.

Shopkeeper Qin pondered for a moment and said, "That direction is to enter the city, there will be no conflict with us, leave them alone." The pathfinders are gone, there are more refugees than expected now, don't encounter the road robbery halfway. ”

"The people have been sent out, and they should be back soon." The steward replied.

"That's good." After the shopkeeper Qin finished speaking, he saw the carriage coming out of the back of the post station, and hurriedly greeted him, "Second Miss." ”

Lin Zhiqi lifted the curtain and looked at it: "Let's go!" ”

The convoy moved slowly, and the carriage followed in the middle.

Rong Ziyu and Rong Ziqi got a horse in the post station this time, and the escorts all rode on, following Lin Zhiqi's carriage, as if they were escorting her.

However, after noon, the brothers got into the carriage that was hired to follow, and they were ridiculed by Lin Zhiqi.

Although there were some refugees-looking people along the way, they all passed by, and the speed of progress was much faster than expected, and before it was dark, the team arrived at the town where they were going to stay that day.

Directly chartered a small inn to stay in the group, although there is a curfew in the city, but they also have a good time entertaining themselves in the inn.

At this time, there was chaos in the city of Shouzhou Mansion.

Today is still the birthday of Lord Zhizhou, and the squires from near and far, as well as the nearby officials, are invited or take the initiative to come to the birthday banquet.

However, just when everyone was jubilant, an assassination happened without warning. After a period of fighting, Lord Zhizhou's birthday has also become a taboo.

The scene was chaotic, and the city soldiers chased and intercepted them, but they still allowed more than half of the assassins to escape, and sneaked out of the city by taking advantage of the night.

Outside a mountain forest not far from Shouzhou City, the nobleman in brocade clothes had changed into black clothes, turned into a young man in black, and counted the companions who escaped from the city with a look of anger.

After scanning the status of his companions, the young man in black let out a low voice, "Let's go." So he led the people into the mountains and forests all the way south.

The next day, the news of the assassination of Shouzhou Zhizhou shook up and down in the Great Jin Dynasty with the news of Kuaima. (To be continued......)
