Chapter 490: Missing
Cheng Chi, who was worried about Zhou Shaojin, had arrived in Tongzhou at this time.
But he didn't rush to the capital overnight, but put on an ink-colored cloak, and didn't even bring Huaishan, who was usually by his side, and quietly walked into a small remote inn with a familiar car.
The shopkeeper was an old man in his fifties, sitting under a soybean oil lamp and making calculations, when he saw someone coming in, he raised his head, his eyes were cloudy, but at the moment when he saw the person who came clearly, he burst out with a trace of fine light, and then quickly lowered his eyelids and said, "Does the guest officer live in an inn?" Only the back one went to the room, fifty wen a night. ”
Cheng Chi didn't speak, grabbed the copper coin and threw it on the counter.
The shopkeeper handed him a lamp.
Cheng Chi walked back with the lamp in his hand.
After a while, the shopkeeper came out from behind the counter, muttering "business is not good" while blocking the door of the inn with a door panel.
In the upper room of the inn, Huo Dongting wore a patched coarse cotton robe, like a fallen talent, and sat at the square table in the hall with his hands folded, while another loyal and honest man wore a cotton brown robe, revealing honey-colored skin with calluses, like an old farmer.
Seeing Cheng Chi come in, the two immediately stood up.
Cheng Chi blew out the lamp and casually put the lamp on the kang table near the window.
Someone suddenly pulled out of the corner of the wall, and swung at Cheng Chi with a "hula" punch: "Cheng Zichuan, you bastard, if you want to die alone, what kind of thing is it to pull our Xiao family's back......"
Cheng Chiyuan stood there without moving the corners of his eyes. The loyal and honest man had already stepped forward a few steps in front of Cheng Chi, held the punch that was thrown at Cheng Chi, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Xiao Zhenhai, the fourth master is just asking you to come forward to help take care of the Seven Star Hall, and you yourself are not giving up on peeking at the fourth master." What, scared now? What did you do in the first place? ”
Xiao Zhenhai's face turned red as he said this.
Cheng Chi didn't look at him, sat down on the big kang near the window, and asked Huo Dongting: "The prince's side is served by old eunuchs and grandmothers, how could the prince get sick?" ”
Huo Dongting said in a low voice: "I heard that it was the prince of Chengenhou who ran to the crown prince to cry in front of His Royal Highness the prince on the day before the prince's birthday, and also said that the minister of civil and military affairs in the court only knew one Peng Chengbo. I didn't know there was a Cheng Enhou. That Peng Chengbo Mansion eats and drinks spicy food every day, and also buys a grange in Daxing, but Cheng Enhou can only live on Yulu, and asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get the prince of Chengen Hou to the city. It is also said that Peng Chengbo's sons are all in Shanglin Yuan to take care of flowers, trees and fruit trees. The prince of Cheng'en Hou is the maternal uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why can't you even compare to a fake uncle...... Later, he said a lot of bastard things, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand on the spot and walked away. Mrs. Chengenhou didn't have a look. hurriedly stepped forward to pull His Royal Highness the Prince, but several eunuchs stepped forward to stop her, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wrote big characters in the study for a long time, and fell ill that night. There was a man named Wang Youdao in the Tai Hospital who was called into the East Palace overnight - he was the only one who was called over, and there was not even a medicine box around him, and the prescription was not stored in the Tai Hospital, and we have not yet found out where the prescription was placed.
"There was no movement that night. But early the next morning, the emperor rushed to the East Palace, and only went to the court after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince.
"I've also checked Wang Youdao.
"He was a famous doctor in Jiangnan. was recommended by the late scholar Hu Zhuoran to enter the palace, and the prince was only seven months old that year. After that, this Wang Youdao became the imperial doctor of the East Palace, specializing in treating the prince, except for the prince, even the queen mother could not instruct him. And he didn't see anyone's illness except for the prince's treatment. In the Tai Hospital, it has long caused the dissatisfaction of the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, just because the emperor has special trust in him, even if someone impeaches Wang Youdao, the emperor will not send it, and that Wang Youdao is only a small seven-grade imperial doctor, and after a few times, those officials have lost interest in him.
"So I guess His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have been ill that day."
When he said this, a look of shame appeared on his face, and his voice became lower: "I didn't realize it at the time, but when I realized it, all the abandoned things in the East Palace had been taken away, and there was no way to verify it......"
Cheng Chi didn't speak, and sat on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed.
Xiao Zhenhai looked anxious and angry, and said, "Hey, you can't calculate me like this!" You just want me to die for you, and you have to give me a word! You can't just pull me here in a daze. Peeping into the Divine Will, it is a capital sin, a capital sin! And it's a capital offense that will bring disaster to the family......"
As he spoke, Cheng Chi suddenly opened his eyes.
A pair of eyes were as bright and indifferent as cold stars, and said: "It turns out that the Xiao family is a family that has been passed down from generation to generation!" ”
Xiao Zhenhai's face turned red with anger.
The Xiao family was originally a thief who occupied the mountain as the king, and he did a businessless business that was not full, so what are you afraid of robbing the family and destroying the clan!
Cheng Chi glanced at him coldly and said, "Our family wants to stand in line!" ”
Xiao Zhenhai opened his mouth wide, and only after a while did he point at him and say, "You, you ......"
But his hands trembled!
Cheng Chi didn't even look at him.
Xiao Zhenhai touched his face violently and said, "Cheng Zichuan, it's done!" I'm you! If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! You can lead the Seven Star Hall to turn the rivers and lakes upside down, and Lao Tzu will definitely not suffer a loss if he follows you! Say, what do you want me to do? ”
Cheng Chi let out a "hmm" and closed his eyes.
Xiao Zhenhai stood in front of Cheng Chi eagerly.
After a long time, Cheng Chi opened his eyes.
Xiao Zhenhai rubbed his hands excitedly, and heard Cheng Chi say to Dongting: "The prince lives in the East Palace, and one person is above 10,000 people, and it is easy to startle the snake when you inquire about his news, so let the people over there not move." You will go back to Beijing to see if the four princes have any actions in the past two days of the prince's illness......"
He needs to know if the four princes know about the prince's illness!
If you know, it becomes easy to kill the prince!
If you don't know, according to Shaojin's words, the prince may really die of illness.
It's just that in this way, the matter of the Cheng family being copied has entered a dead end again.
He has always felt that with the Cheng family's current prestige in Shilin. Unless it involves rebellion, it is impossible for the emperor to hastily copy the Cheng family's house like this.
But if the Cheng family is really rebellious, and the people of the Cheng family cannot be the emperor, which prince did the Cheng family hook up with?
Cheng Chi thought of Zhou Shaojin.
The little girl didn't know if she had slept.
He thought of Zhou Shaojin sleeping.
The jet-black green silk is covered with the red and Dilian pillows, the pink little face is shining, and the calm look is serene and quiet, which makes people's hearts calm down when they look at it.
Cheng Chi suddenly wanted to go back.
I want to go back to the capital regardless of it, I want to see the little girl, and I want the little girl to bury her head in his arms in shame and dare not raise it.
The blood roared under him.
Cheng Chi smiled bitterly.
At this moment, he was still clamoring in this situation.
Cheng Chi took a few deep breaths. Only then did the body slowly calm down. But his heart was like a piece of it, hollow, which made him feel eager.
"Then it's settled!" He stood up, walking out. One side of the road. "We met in the capital. It's still the old place, the old time. Be careful. Don't let anyone get their hands on it. Don't treat the capture of the capital as the speed of those poor and remote places! ”
Hua Ting and the honest man gave up their hands and sent Cheng Chi out.
And Cheng Chi didn't hesitate to pull the curtain and go out.
"Wait, wait." Xiao Zhenhai couldn't believe his eyes. As soon as he said that he would do a big deal with Cheng Zichuan, Cheng Zichuan turned around and left himself here, he became anxious and said, "What should I do?" You've got to give me an errand! ”
Cheng Chi didn't stop for a moment, and continued to walk forward: "Didn't I arrange for you to help Huating clean up the news on the rivers and lakes before?" ”
"What?!" Xiao Zhenhai was stunned and said, "Didn't you just let me do this before?" ”
"yes!" Cheng Chi lifted the curtain and said. "Just keep doing it!" After speaking, he walked out of the guest room.
Xiao Zhenhai was stunned for a while, then chased after him when he came back to his senses.
"Cheng Zichuan, Cheng Zichuan," there was still a curfew outside, he didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he slammed out of the guest room and said, "You can't fool me like this!" I'm helping you every day now, urging those people to hand over the trivial things they hear and see to Huating......"
I don't know when it snowed heavily.
In the snowflakes in the sky, Cheng Chi's figure has disappeared.
Xiao Zhenhai couldn't help but stomp his feet.
Cheng Chi knew that there was a place where he could avoid the officers and soldiers guarding the city and enter the city, but he wanted to leave that road to use at a critical time.
He stood in front of the window of the inn room, watching the snow slowly turn white, watching the husband pass by the inn, watching the movement in the yard, and the people who fed the horses, cleared the snow, and made fires for cooking gradually increased...... He instructed Huaishan: "Let's go into the city!" ”
Huaishan also didn't sleep all night.
He was napping beside him, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up and answered "yes", and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.
Cheng Chi smiled slightly, and rode straight to Chaoyangmen without breakfast.
When I got home, I saw a slight light on the horizon.
The gate of the Cheng family's house in Chaoyang Gate was closed, and the whole courtyard was quiet, still immersed in the night.
Cheng Chi lightly returned to the inner room.
The Spring Festival Gala on duty slept on the big kang in the banquet room, sleeping soundly.
The curtain of the lacquered bed was deep, and Zhou Shaojin frowned slightly and shrunk into the red quilt, sleeping very unsteadily.
A pillow full of green silk.
He leaned down and little by little pulled the green silk behind her head.
It seemed that Zhou Shaojin felt that there was someone in the house in her sleep, and she hid in the futon uneasily.
Only then did Cheng Chi realize that she was still holding something in her arms.
He hesitated for a moment, then gently lifted the corners of the quilt.
Zhou Shaojin hugged the pillow he slept on when he was at home.
Tightly, in your arms, like a treasure.
Cheng Chi suddenly felt that he still rushed back despite the heavy snow, what a beautiful thing.
He softly shouted Zhou Shaojin's name and kissed Zhou Shaojin's forehead.
