When Yu Shu came to the door with great fanfare, Zhou Yede's family was having lunch in the backyard, and Zhou Nie was also there. The steward ran in in a panic and told him about the situation outside, Zhou Nie dropped the dishes and chopsticks first, and scolded:

"That dominatrix still dares to come, I don't think she has enough prison food. Dad, you don't have to worry about it, I'll go out and teach her a lesson. ”

"Sit down for me!" Zhou Yede scolded him, and said with a straight face: "It's all because you have nothing to do, you went to her house to make trouble, and as a result, you killed someone, aren't you looking for death when you go outside at this time?" ”

"Master," Mrs. Zhou glared at her son, turned her head to Zhou Yede and said, "Our son just injured a subordinate by mistake, is it possible to pay for his life?" If you want me to say, this Yu Nuyu is too ignorant, a small official of the fifth grade, dare to go to our house three times or twice to find bad luck, sir, you go out to see her, and send it away. ”

Zhou Yede also felt that Yu Shu was too arrogant, and it was true that the Xue family had collapsed, but his surname Zhou still had a piece of dragon merit, how could he be afraid of her little girl. So he took a few guards with him and hurried forward.

When he came to the gate, Zhou Yede saw the battle outside, and recognized the black-clothed guards standing in front of him at a glance, and couldn't help frowning, staring at the soft sedan chair in the middle of the crowd, standing on the steps and asking loudly: "I don't know what crime my son of Zhou has committed, and he can use Si Tianjian to mobilize people to arrest people?" ”

No matter how you say it, he is a dignified commander of the third-rank Jin Wuwei, a fifth-grade female official, no matter what reason she runs to his door with officers and soldiers to spread wild, she is guilty of the following. It's ultra vires.

Yu Shu sat in the sedan chair and didn't make a sound, Wen Shaoan stepped forward and said to Zhou Yede: "Lord Zhou is polite, my family came today to arrest the person who forged official marriage documents and intermarried without permission Zhou Ni, that is, the second young master of the house. ”

Zhou Yede smiled angrily, stared at him and said, "What are you?" Dare to point fingers at Lao Tzu. "It was the Xue family who forged the official marriage documents, and he was not afraid of being investigated.

Wen Shaoan is not ashamed or annoyed. He bowed his head and replied: "The lowly position is a member of the Kunling Bureau. ”

As soon as the words fell. Seeing Zhou Yede raise a kick and kick him on the waist, kicking him over, Wen Shaoan immediately rolled from the steps to the bottom of the steps, covering the painful place he kicked and inhaled. But he didn't shout.

"Huh?" There was a snort in the sedan chair. Several black-clothed guards instantly drew their waist knives. Take a step forward and coerce Zhou Yede.

Zhou Yede knew that the black-clothed guard who was mentioned was not easy to mess with, so he couldn't help but take two steps back. asked the guards to protect him in the center, but saw that the curtain of the sedan chair was opened, revealing half of Yu Shu's white side face, and the other half was in the shadows.

"Commander Zhou, are you now trying to shield the prisoner and obstruct my Kunling Bureau's handling of the case?" Her voice was low and slow, with a woman's femininity, but the tone was not too weak at all, and there was a warning in it.

Zhou Yede sneered: "Kunling Bureau handles the case, the right commander should always go out in person, with you a yellow-haired girl, but you are just holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and you come to my door to spread wild, you have exceeded your authority!" Believe it or not, I'm going to call the Jinwu Guards right now and put you in prison again? For the sake of the big mention, you can get off the sedan chair now, apologize to me, I can consider letting you go, otherwise, you don't want to leave today. ”

As he spoke, he took the token and asked people to go to the nearby military station to summon Jin Wuwei, half to scare Yu Shu, and half to prevent the officers and soldiers outside the door from colliding.

Yu Shu's hand was on the edge of the window, and her slender index finger slowly tapped, neither blocking nor showing weakness, waiting for Zhou Yede to send someone, she sat in the sedan chair and waited quietly.

There was about a meal, and the subordinates of the Zhou Mansion came back with a group of guards, and the number of people overwhelmed the officers and soldiers brought by Yu Shu twice, there were as many as forty or fifty people, Zhou Yede suddenly had confidence, no longer afraid of the black-clothed guards, raised two fingers and pointed at Yu Shu in the sedan chair, and said sharply:

"I count to three, if you still don't roll, don't blame me for being unkind to you."

"One, two, three-" After three sounds, Yu Shu's sedan chair still stopped in place, Zhou Yede rode the tiger hard, although he didn't want to make a big fuss, but if he let her go, today's incident will spread out, I'm afraid that everyone will think that his surname Zhou is a bad race, afraid of Si Tianjian, he can't even clean up a woman's house, how can he mix in the officialdom, the prince is about to ascend the throne, how can he have the face to climb up!

Emperor Zhaoqing died, the body was sent back to the capital, and it was necessary to place it in the palace for 7749 days before it could be sent to the imperial tomb for burial, and the prince served filial piety for three months, and then he could ascend the throne as the emperor. Thinking about it like this, the big mention point not far from the resignation is no different from a tiger with a tooth extracted, and there is no need for him to be as timid as in the past.

Zhou Yede thought far away, his expression became more and more unkind, and he immediately ordered: "Take them all down and escort them to Si Tianjian, I will ask Da Ti for justice today!" ”

At the sound of an order, the Jinwu guards, who were accustomed to obeying orders, rushed forward without hesitation, and a group of officials brought by Yu Shu obediently tied their hands without resistance, and several black-clothed guards did not make a move at all, but just guarded around the sedan chair and did not allow anyone to approach.

Zhou Yede thought that Yu Shulu was timid, and after gaining the upper hand, he forced them to carry the sedan chair and turn around, and immediately asked the servants to bring the horses, and escorted a group of people to Si Tianjian in a mighty way.

．．．．．．

led everyone to the gate of Si Tianjian, but was stopped by the guards on the side of the door, Zhou Yede did not break in, dismounted and said: "Send someone in to report the big mention, Jin Wuwei commanded Zhou Yede to come and ask for the crime!" ”

He opened the bow without looking back, with the scorching sun on his head, looking up at the huge plaque on the high wall of Si Tianjian, he was surprisingly without a sense of fear. If it was half a month ago, the old emperor was still alive, and he himself didn't believe that he would be able to stand at the gate of Si Tianjian one day and scold.

After waiting for a moment, the main door of Si Tianjian was suddenly slowly pushed open from the inside, and Zhu Muzhao, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked out of the door, followed by only one Ren Qiming, and two guards with knives.

He walked slowly into the sun. Sweeping the gate blocked by Jin Wuwei, his eyes fell on Zhou Yede, who looked like a teacher asking guilt, and said coldly: "Commander Zhou is shouting in front of the gate of our company's heavenly prison, for some reason? ”

Zhou Yede swallowed his saliva, tried to keep a straight face, bowed to him hurriedly, and then got up to complain: "I don't know what to mention, today, the female imperial official of your subordinate Kunling Bureau brought officers and soldiers to my mansion early in the morning to provoke, and she kept slandering my son as a human criminal, indiscriminately. No credentials. insisted on arresting him and bringing him to justice, dare to ask a big question, is this how Si Tianjian connived at his subordinates to handle the case? ”

He has thought about it, if he mentions it to protect Yu Shu. If it's a big deal, he will make trouble in front of the prince. Let the prince see with his own eyes how arrogant Si Tianjian is on weekdays. He doesn't believe it, can he still cover the sky with one hand?

Zhu Muzhao didn't answer his words, but asked to the side: "Lotus room." Tell me about it. ”

Zhou Yede turned his head and saw that Yu Shu didn't know when she got off the sedan chair, she was wearing her hair loose, a scarf tied on her forehead, and her wide robe lined her with emaciation, which could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"Returning to the Taishu," Yu Shu replied unhurriedly: "Previously, the young lady of the rebel Xue Lingnan's mansion married the son of the Zhou commander's family, and the official marriage document that Zhou took out that day was forged, and a pen Cao of my Kunling Bureau was bought, and the previous right commander was issued under the false name of the seal. ”

She glanced at Zhou Yede, and said: "The pirated pen Cao has already admitted that he was first coerced by Xue Lingnan, and then received a bribe of five hundred taels of silver from Zhou Nie. I follow the law and go to arrest Zhou Ni today, what is the crime? On the contrary, it was the commander of Zhou who did not give up, dispatched the Jinwu Guards to take me down, despised Si Tianjian, and openly used force during the national mourning period. ”

What is a national funeral, that is, the emperor and empress before and after the funeral, the whole country mourns, marriages, banquets and wars are prohibited, inside and outside the capital, even the military camps are stopped training, and there are no fights and use of force in the city.

A big hat on his head was buttoned down, Zhou Yede changed color slightly, and said in a hurry: "It's clear that you committed the following crimes, and you are the first to do it, how can you blame me for using force without authorization?" You don't know that Jin Wuwei is a forbidden army in the capital and has the right to enforce the law. ”

Yu Shu shook his head, turned to Zhu Muzhao and said, "Taishu has heard it, Commander Zhou is so strong, the subordinate has nothing to say, and please call the shots." ”

Zhu Muzhao looked at the righteous Zhou Yede coldly, raised his hand and waved, and a group of Yulin troops dressed in light armor suddenly poured out from the opposite street corner, about 100 people, and surrounded the Jinwu guards outside the gate of Si Tianjian.

Zhou Yede was shocked, turned around and looked around, and saw Yin Yuanrong, the left commander of the Yulin Army, who stood out from the crowd. Yin Yuanrong rode on a horse, walked through the separated crowd, stopped a few steps away, looked down at him, raised his eyebrows lightly, and teased: "I heard that the Jinwu Guards are arrogant and domineering, and I finally saw it today, which is really worthy of its reputation." ”

Although the Yulin Army and the Jinwu Guards belonged to the same forbidden army, the former, as the emperor's personal guard, was far more than twice as strong as the Jinwu Guard, and his authority was even higher than that of the Jinwu Guard. The two classes of people look at each other a little unpleasantly on weekdays, some time ago Zhou Yede took refuge with the prince, and even the Jinwu Guards became arrogant, Yin Yuanrong swallowed his anger these days, and he had long wanted to teach them a lesson.

Zhou Yede forced his composure and asked him, "Yin Yuanrong, what are you doing here?" ”

Yin Yuanrong sneered: "This commander is on duty today, and I happened to pass by here, and I met someone who abused his military power during the national funeral and coerced Si Tianjian, what do you say I am going to do?" Yulin Jun listened to the order, arrested this group of chaotic parties, and took them away for me! ”

Seeing that the Yulin army was swarming up, Jin Wuwei was invincible, and he was put down more than a dozen in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yede didn't have time to escape, he was kicked over by Yin Yuanrong jumping off the horse, rolling on the ground twice, just lying down at Yu Shu's feet, and was held down by Lu Hong and Xu Qing, who were guarding behind her, and pressed on the ground fiercely, and the whole person was stunned.

How familiar this scene is, more than half a month ago, Yu Shu was lured to the door of the Zhou Mansion and caught in an urn.

Yu Shu stirred the hem of his clothes, squatted in front of Zhou Yede, lowered his eyes and looked down at him, and said softly and slowly: "I forgot to inform Commander Zhou, I am now the right commander of the Kunling Bureau, you are the third grade, and I am also the third grade. ”

Zhou Yede was slapped on the head, and finally woke up and he fell into a trap, today I am afraid that there will be no return, he broke out in a cold sweat, struggled and shouted: "Yin Yuanrong!" You and Si Tianjian colluded to frame me, I want to see the prince, I want to sue you for forming a party to eradicate dissidents, I want to see the prince! ”

Yin Yuanrong ignored it, and directly asked people to stuff a ball of sweat towel into his mouth to block his nonsense.

Lu Hong and Xu Qing picked Zhou Yede up from the ground, Yu Shu raised his hand to dust off his shoulder, and said softly: "Commander Zhou is good to go, see you again in the future, you remember to be polite to me, I have nothing else to do, I just love to hold grudges." ”

After saying that, she got out of the way and handed the person into the hands of Yulin Jun, and she walked back behind Zhu Muzhao. Ren Qiming glanced at her with complicated eyes, and then looked at the big mention with a calm face, knowing that he had already made a decision, and could only secretly sigh that his luck was not good.

Yin Yuanrong took Zhou Yede away, and Zhu Muzhao then took Yu Shu into the palace to see the prince.

．．．．．．

Later, the prince heard him dictate Zhou Yede's abuse of military power, and he didn't frown, and said: "I heard more than once that Zhou Yede had no one in his eyes, and he suppressed the rebellion of King Ning's subordinates at first, and he thought that he had made a great contribution, but he became more and more unrepresentable, and he dared to lead troops to besiege Si Tianjian. Passing on the will of the orphan, he dismissed Zhou Yede from the post of commander of Jin Wuwei, sent to Dali Temple for detention, and waited until his father was buried before punishment. ”

Zhou Yede was dismissed, and Jin Wuwei commanded this big real vacancy to be vacant, and the prince could send a more obedient candidate to fill it, without him having to do it himself, he cleaned up a prideful thorn in his head, and killed chickens and monkeys without losing notoriety, why not.

Yu Shu was used to seeing the prince unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and he didn't feel the sadness of the rabbit and the fox. Zhu Muzhao has already set an example for her, and what she will take in the future is a desperate road of puppet imperial power.

"Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for being the master of the ministers," Zhu Muzhao thanked the prince, and then turned sideways to reveal Yu Shu behind him, and said: "Previously, Lianfang exposed the Xue family's merits, and the minister has promoted her to the right commander of Si Tianjian to take charge of all matters of the Kun Ling Bureau. ”

He was reporting to the prince.

The prince's eyes turned to Yu Shu, first noticed her snow-white face, and then saw the veil on her head, remembering her other identity, and asked in a different and soft tone: "Haven't your injuries healed yet?" ”

Yu Shu touched his forehead and replied: "Back to Your Highness, Wei Chen suffered first, leaving a scar on his face, lest he frighten you, so he used this to cover up his ugliness." ”

"Oh?" The prince reached out suspiciously to her forehead, "Let Gu see." ”

Yu Shu's fingers trembled, but he didn't stop him, let him take off the scarf, and looked at his stunned expression staring at her forehead, she quickly lowered her head.

The prince was stunned for a moment, then took his eyes off her face and turned to the side, secretly screaming pity, but comforting her in his mouth: "Don't get in the way, I see that your scar is in the center of your eyebrows, if you don't look carefully, it looks like a flower drawn between your eyebrows, don't care too much about the eyes of others." ”

Zhu Muzhao looked at Yu Shu's forehead when he heard this, and felt that the prince was not lying, her half-inch-long scar fell right in the center of her eyebrows, the scar was dark red, and it was a slender diamond shape, which was not ugly to look at, but it just looked abrupt.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Yu Shu said softly.

The prince handed her the scarf, but she did not tie it back, but showed the scar until she followed the big mention out of the palace. The two walked on the official road outside the noon gate one after the other, and talked in a low voice.

"Now the prince will no longer have the idea of taking you into the harem."

Yu Shu touched the protrusion of his eyebrows, hooked his lips and smiled: "The prince wants to emulate the Holy Ancestor, but unfortunately I am a disfigured person, and the harem can't accommodate me." ”

Her wish was to stand on the top of Si Tianjian and live well, waiting for that person to come and fulfill his promise one day. (To be continued......)
