Compared with the palace, it is more than that, extravagant and luxurious. But outside the city, countless refugees have been left homeless.

In recent years, there have been floods in Yangcheng every three or five days, and crops cannot grow normally, resulting in people having no source of income and becoming more and more impoverished, and gradually the people here are struggling to make a living. However, the imperial court allocated funds several times, each time a large amount was not small, but the flood was never treated, but the number of refugees increased dramatically, and many people even had to move north.

Many pieces were sent to the palace, and even if they only listened to a few words, the emperor guessed the seriousness of the matter.

Wei Han rode on a horse, waiting for the hand to report back, and soon a team rode a horse, and it was Yin Sun Zhang, the governor of Yangcheng, who came to pick him up, seeing that he was wearing a simple court dress, and smiling very kindly, who would have thought that such a man would be rich and rival the country.

"Wechen greets the prince. The prince came to Weichen and asked the prince for forgiveness. Sun Zhang jumped off his horse and knelt in front of Wei Han and said.

Wei Han waved his hand, "Get up." ”

Under the leadership of Sun Zhang, the city gate opened, and to Wei Han's surprise, there were many people holding flowers and agricultural and sideline products to welcome him with smiles. When they saw him, they immediately cheered loudly and knelt on the ground to salute him.

…… The superficial kung fu is quite good, if it weren't for the fact that the post station outside the city that he stayed outside the city the day before yesterday had sneaked in to observe, maybe he would really believe this scene. He looked around, but many people in the crowd couldn't help but let him stay two more times.

Those men were tall and stout, their exposed arms were powerful, they walked with a straight waist and back, and although they were wearing civilian clothes, they looked like Lianjiazi. The others looked closely, and the joy in their eyes was also shallow, revealing impatience.

"Lord Wang, they are very happy to hear that you are coming, this is a spontaneously organized welcome event. Of course, the prince came to inspect, and Weichen also felt very honored and must entertain the prince well. ”

Soon Wei Han knew what he meant by hospitality, which was nothing more than a woman with good wine and food.

Except for some men, the rest of the courtyard where he stayed were all scantily dressed women, all of whom were superb. And their service really made Wei Han a little unbearable, even if he was used to serving in the palace. As long as he wanted to do something, several women immediately came over to serve her personally, and they were all charming with their hands and feet.

Just dragged a coat, and after a nap, he couldn't stand these annoying women and drove them all out. He didn't dispose of the eyeliner in the rest of the yard, and putting it here helped him do things.

In the evening, Sun Yang sent someone to take Wei Han to the mansion to participate in the reception banquet prepared for him.

As soon as Wei Han walked in the door, he was surrounded by beautiful music, and not far away, many barely inched women were dancing in the middle, and the eyes of the officials and men sitting around him were about to fall, showing greed.

Wei Han frowned in displeasure, and those people turned their heads and knelt down immediately when they saw him, "Weichen, see the prince." ”

"Weichen see the prince." Sun Zhang also walked out from behind, and at this moment he changed out of his court clothes and wore a very ordinary cloth robe.

Wei Han nodded and asked them to get up, Sun Zhang greeted him to the main seat, clapped his hands, and another wave of beauties appeared, walking in with dishes one after another. The difference is that this time the women did not leave, but sat next to the guests.

Wei Han's side looked indifferent, although she was wearing the same clothes, her temperament was more prominent, giving people a sense of coldness, like an untouchable snow lotus on an iceberg, pure and inviolable.

But even if she was beautiful, Wei Han only glanced at her twice and ignored her, while the other people were already happy, hugging the beauties around them and playing and joking.

"Hello Lord Wang, the slave's name is Qinglian." The woman took the initiative to speak, reaching out to pour him a glass of wine.

Wei Han nodded and was silent again.

Sun Zhang noticed that he didn't react and smiled, "It seems that we Qinglian have also met someone who can't handle it, Lord Wang, this is the number one beauty in our Yangcheng." I don't know how many people fell under her pomegranate skirt, I saved her from the robbers, treated her like a sister, such as someone comes to the door to propose marriage today, don't you think she is beautiful? ”

"It's outstanding." Wei Han nodded in agreement with his words, "I have long heard that the beautiful women in the south are like clouds, and now look here, it is indeed the case." ”

Sun Zhang laughed happily, "Lord Wang, Qinglian is my sister-like existence, I usually spoil her and she is too late, do you know why I let her appear here?" ”

"Why?" Wei Han asked rhetorically.

Sun Zhang looked at Qinglian like that, the latter smiled and took the initiative to speak, "Because Qinglian already has someone in her heart who has been in love for a long time." That person was also here today, and Qinglian wanted to see him, so she took the initiative to appear. “

"I see, then I wish Miss Qinglian that you can have a lover and eventually become a family." Wei Han didn't know what he meant, and said very bluntly. Qinglian and Sun Zhang both had a slap on their faces.

I saw Qinglian suddenly laugh and gently hold Wei Han's arm, "I've already seen it, I wonder if the prince is willing to marry Qinglian if he has a lover?" ”

"Ah, help! There are thieves! ”

In the empty garden, a scream was heard, and under the cover of night, a black figure staggered and disappeared. And the screaming person was a maid, already frightened and stupid, the face of the knife in his hand was pale, and the direction in which the figure fled kept trembling.

Soon, many torches appeared in the dark and gathered towards the garden.

"This is it, the slave saw that figure running over here!" The frightened maid just now stood at the fork in the road and said firmly, followed by many guards and Mei Niang, Mrs. Cheng.

Mei Niang frowned and looked at the fork in the road in front of her, this road only led to two places, one was the warehouse, and the other was Su Zhenzhen's yard.

"Are you sure he's running this way? Don't spew blood, there is a princess living here. Mei Niang said solemnly, "If that thief comes here, it will be terrible." ”

The maid nodded even harder when she heard this, "Yes, that man was scratched by me, and his arm was dripping blood as he walked. Master, you don't believe you can follow the bloodstains to find it. ”

The night is so dark, even if there is a lantern shining, it is very inconvenient to find blood stains on the ground. Mei Niang took a lantern and took a photo, but she could vaguely see a red star, "Divide into two ways to look for it, the concubine will go to see the side concubine, you go over there." ”

Su Zhenzhen was taking a beautiful bath in the room, when she suddenly heard the voice of August talking outside the door, and then the voices of Mei Niang and Mrs. Cheng also appeared.

"The two masters wait a while, our princess is taking a bath, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come out." August said politely.

"Okay, you go and tell Sister Su to hurry up, the thief in the house was stabbed and came this way, ask her if she is okay."

Mrs. Cheng didn't listen to this, and said sarcastically, "When is this still the time to take a bath, I'm afraid that I can't keep my life and still have this leisure, or is there another purpose for taking a bath to cover something?" ”

Su Zhenzhen listened to it very clearly, and dropped a black line, it was really a dog that couldn't spit out ivory in her mouth, where was she still in a good mood after hearing this kind of words, she directly called August to come in and serve her to change her clothes. Soon to the hall.

"The two sisters have been waiting for a long time, I don't know why they came late at night?" Su Zhenzhen asked with a strange look.

"Today a maid met a thief in the garden, and she happened to stab the man with a knife, and she said that the thief came towards you." Mei Niang explained, "Did my sister hear any strange noises? Or have you seen someone? ”

"Sister Mei, I don't. I'll write in the house after dinner, and August can testify to me. I just started bathing, and I haven't left the yard from beginning to end, and I haven't touched anyone. I haven't seen the thief my sister said. ”

"I haven't seen it, and I don't dare to admit it when I see you, who knows if you're in the same group. You're in such a remote place. It was found that instead of escaping over the wall, he came to you, could it be that he had other intentions. Mrs. Cheng said in a weird manner, "Oops." Now only Sister Su hasn't lost anything, what kind of good luck is this. ”

August felt unjustified when he heard Mrs. Cheng's tone, and opened his mouth to defend in a low voice, "Mrs. Cheng, the master has also lost something." The golden step that the prince gave to his master is gone. Yesterday, the master searched for a day and couldn't find it. ”

Mrs. Cheng seemed to have been slapped in the face, and suddenly her face was displeased, "What are you talking about, masters, it's your turn to speak?" ”

Su Zhenzhen was immediately unhappy when she saw her say that August, "What is Mrs. Cheng talking about, August is also for my good." And what do you mean by saying that I am in the same company as thieves? So what am I doing stealing my own stuff? Also, what is my woman's family doing with other sister's underwear? Am I missing those? ”

Mrs. Cheng was speechless when asked, and looked at Su Zhenzhen with unwilling eyes. Mei Niang patted her hand as a peacemaker, "Okay, okay, everyone is sisters, so don't worry about it." Sister Su has no reason to do such a thing, and now it's better to find that person as soon as possible, otherwise it's dangerous, and the fight will not be peaceful all day long, and it's not good for people to be panicked. ”

"What my sister said is that my sister is not afraid of shadows, if you don't believe it, you can go in and search, if you find something, I have nothing to say." Su Zhenzhen said righteously, "I really haven't seen any men today, otherwise how dare I take a bath in the room." ”

Mei Niang saw that what Su Zhenzhen said was reasonable, so she nodded in agreement, "I believe that my sister is innocent, there must be some misunderstanding in this." Xu came here because the thief ran in the wrong direction in a panic, he was injured and couldn't run far, no matter what, he would definitely be able to find it in such a big place. ”

Mrs. Cheng was unwilling in her heart, disdainful of Mei Niang's Tai Chi appearance, and after saying that, Su Zhenzhen also smiled and walked out with Mei Niang and them.

The gate of the courtyard was full of guards, and the place where it was lit was brightly lit, Su Zhenzhen smiled in her heart, where did the man run in the middle of the night, he had to run to her, I am afraid it is not so simple. I hope these people can leave quickly and let her go back to investigate. ”

While thinking about it, the people who were sent to the other side by Mei Niang just now came back, "Back to the princess, there is no blood on the side of the warehouse, and it is also very clean and there is no sign of people." The blood trail broke all the way to this point. The man pointed to a tree in the distance, "but there was no one in the tree." ”

When the guard said this, her heart was cold, there was no warehouse side, the blood stains disappeared near her yard, and anyone would think of her head, and she couldn't wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Tsk, this little thief is also strange, not far from the warehouse is the back door, and he came here without running from there. I really don't know what he's thinking, could it be that he knows where the safe place is early on? Mrs. Cheng sneered and sarcastic, and everyone had different faces when she said this.

"But Concubine Ben didn't hear any unusual noises in the house." Su Zhenzhen said seriously, "Sister Lao Mei asked them to go in and find it, be careful." My sister feels scared when she thinks about it, so it's better to be safe. But my sister had a reluctant request. ”

"My sister just said." Mei Niang said thoughtfully.
