"Miss Yu has one set of truths after another, do you want to get married and have children?" Shi Li didn't hesitate to fight back.

Xiao Hongshou blushed and said, "I haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?" ”

Chu Tao also smiled, stuffed the cloth bag full of tigers into Shi Li's arms, and said, "Then these are all for your nephews to bring back, they are all new, I will buy them and put them aside." If it's not enough, I'll ask Xiaohong to buy a few more on the street in a while, children, I like these toys the most. ”

"In my eyes, you are also a child." Shi Li took the cloth bag and didn't say no: "Sister Peach, what the little red girl said is right, your body has not fully recovered, it is better to go back in a few days." If you feel uncomfortable here, I can go out with you, and I'll keep an eye on you so you don't get lost. ”

Chu Tao sighed silently, Shi Li was right, she was still very weak and not suitable for a long journey, if she had a small temper and insisted on going home, she would cause trouble to others, so she had to raise her head and smile awkwardly: "Brother Shi is right, it doesn't make much difference to go and play a day earlier." ”

But now she has some shadows on the streets, and she refuses to go out on the streets by herself, but only wants to nest in her own hut.

Chu Tao and Shi Li talked for a while, temporarily forgetting about returning to Jinling, and after a while, Zhao Tieniu also came over, and everyone heard it before anyone saw it: "Hi hi! Xie Yun and his daughter were caught by us! ”

When Chu Tao heard Xie Yun's name, her face turned white with a brush, her fingers tugging at her clothes, and she looked uneasy, Xie Caiwei and Siyu, the two vicious masters and servants, were really terrible.

"Where did you catch it?" Shi Li stood up in shock.

As soon as Zhao Tieniu came, he called the house warm, and shouted for Xiaohong to pour himself a cup of tea: "You can't imagine that Xie Yun has never left his casino at all!" The treacherous and cunning Xie Yun, the most dangerous place is the safest place, who would have thought that he would dare to stay in Xinyang. ”

Zhao Tieniu muttered: "The snow has melted in the past two days, and I walked such a short distance outside, my shoes are all wet, and the tide is really uncomfortable." So saying, he plucked off the boots from his feet and roasted them by the brazier.

"Hold your stinky feet away!" Hatsu Tao kicked the brazier a little farther away and covered her nose in protest.

Zhao Tieniu really took the boots to his nose and sniffed: "I smell fine, and it's not very smelly, Master Shi, don't you say?" Shi Li covered his nose and protested silently.

"You guys are really hypocritical, I, Zhao Tieniu, am going to be a person in the army in the future, and I want to be the roughest and most masculine man in the army!" Zhao Tieniu smiled and put his shoes back on, because he saw that the little red girl was silently opening the window to breathe.

Zhao Tieniu felt that the future of the second half of his life was bright, he was already fantasizing about galloping on the battlefield with the generals, he secretly went to Yizhuang in Zhaojia Village these days, and put three sticks of incense on Sun Sanniang's grave, he wanted to say goodbye to the past and welcome the new future.

Shi Li Zhengse said: "Okay, Brother Zhao, tell us how to find Xie Yun." Shi Li is this good, although his status is not low, but he has never seen anyone he looks down on, even Zhao Tieniu, a mediocre small farmer, he also called Brother Zhao.

Zhao Tieniu glanced at Chu Tao and said, "Our peach sister's vision is so wow!" By the way, Sister Peach, who is the name of the little guard, I can't not know his name for so long. ”

Zhao Tieniu usually gets along very well with the Three Kings and Shi Li, but he doesn't dare to have more dealings with Xue Congjia, because Xue Congjia is too difficult to get along with, and it is really like a piece of ice that will not melt for thousands of years.

"Huh? Isn't Brother Di's surname Di? Shi Li asked rhetorically.

Zhao Tieniu said: "Master Shi, you really think he is Di Renjie!" You're naïve, aren't you? ”

Shi Li lowered his head and pondered, the case was clear, but the person who investigated the case became a mystery, and he didn't plan to tell everyone about Chu Tao's appearance.

Chu Tao snorted coldly and said, "He? He is not surnamed Di, his surname is cold. ”

"Gotcha! Then Brother Leng, Brother Leng can be regarded as the reincarnation of Pan An and the current Di Renjie! He said that as soon as Huo Lao Er died, Xie Yun would definitely be hunted down by the East Palace, so Xie Yun must have to flee for his life. Brother Leng said that there were people waiting for rabbits inside and outside the city, so he speculated that Xie Yun didn't dare to go far, and sure enough, he and Xie Caiwei were hiding in the casino! Zhao Tieniu said.

When Chu Tao heard Xie Caiwei's name, her face changed again and again, so she asked, "How are the Xie family's father and daughter now?" And the bad maid next to her? Still alive? ”

Zhao Tieniu touched his head and said, "Xie Yun is already dead, and before he died, he said a cup of tea to Brother Leng, and when I heard him crying and laughing, I didn't hear it too much when I was far away." Miss Tse...... Miss Xie didn't die, she didn't seem to have the guts to drink poison. I heard Brother Leng say something like Aunt Ge, as if he was going to hand her over to Aunt Ge, I didn't hear who died next to Miss Xie, if the maid should also be taken away. ”

Judging from Zhao Tieniu's babbling description, Xie Caiwei wanted to see Xue Congjia alive or dead, but Xue Congjia never paid attention to Xie Caiwei from beginning to end.

Chu Tao suddenly felt sour again, she already owed Xue Congjia countless lives, she wanted to make a promise, but he didn't want it!

Zhao Tieniu was stunned when he saw Chu Tao, and said: "The third prince said, we can't stay in Xinyang, as soon as Xie Yun and Huo Lao Er die, the East Palace will inevitably take measures, but I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night, so we still have to hurry back to Jinling." The Three Kings promised me to join the army, and I will follow him from now on. ”

Chu Tao nodded, the East Palace colluded with the foreign ministers to sell pig iron privately, this matter is not trivial, although the prince is the prince, but the matter is big, the emperor will be furious if he knows. At that time, Empress Wang, the Sun family, and the Jiang family were all protectors, and the emperor was also to appease the heroes, so he would continue to be kind to the three emperors of the Wang, Sun, and Jiang families over the years.

Jinling Wang family is the founding hero of the Yi Dynasty for several generations, but unfortunately gradually lonely, when the crown prince and the regent seized the throne, Wang Zhi, the father of the queen, was still a Hanlin Academy, and he said good things for the emperor who was still the prince.

Chu Tao knew very young that one of the daughters of the Jiang family must be going to enter the palace, which is favor and wooing, but also jealousy and prevention, just like the Jiang family and the Sun family, although they are exhausted, but the merit is high, the emperor will inevitably taboo his relatives to sit big, so Concubine Zhen will always be Concubine Zhen, and her son can only be an idle little prince.

Maybe this is the reason why Concubine Zhen has not fallen into the ranks of competing for favor over the years, the Jiang family is her dependence, as long as the Jiang family does not fall for a day, her favor will not be broken, and she does not need to work hard to please the emperor like other women.

In Chu Tao's impression, she has only seen the queen a few times, and she only feels majestic and dignified, Fengyi is in the world, this bearing and luxury are given by the queen, and they are not available to the women of the harem.

"Master Shi, have you ever seen the East Palace?" Zhao Tieniu's question pulled Chu Tao's thoughts back.

Shi Li said: "How could I have seen the East Palace as a small official. It's more likely that Sister Peach has seen it. ”

Chu Tao hurriedly said: "Donggong looks good, it looks quite similar to us, both have two eyes and one nose, besides, I can't really see it, who dares to come to him to see him!" ”

Zhao Tieniu said: "We ordinary people don't understand the royal affairs!" The crown prince is a prince, is he short of money to spend? When he inherits the throne, the whole world is his, can he still dig out his mind to do these things? ”

Chu Tao hesitated: "This, you definitely can't say that, there are many people in this position in the East Palace, if you don't want to do everything you can to keep it, there will be no good end." ”

Chu Tao said in her heart, Zhao Tieniu, you are really stupid, hey! You don't even understand what I can figure out, what's the use of being a few years older than me! The crown prince can still be abolished and re-established, in order to consolidate his position, he also has to spend money to dredge up the relationship between the DPRK and China, if you like money, you can send silver directly, and if you like beautiful women, you can buy a few more beauties and send them over, and do what he likes!

But it takes money to win over officials! The queen and the queen family have no fat difference, how can there be so much silver for the prince to spend, the prince can only think of a way by himself, but Chu Tao is also a little confused, Zhaojiacun is the prince's money bag, why do you want to screw your money bag?

Before Chu Tao thought about it, the three kings sent someone over to deliver the news of the departure on the same day, Chu Tao thought about it, and stayed in Xinyang for a long time, except for Sister Bai Rui, she really couldn't find anyone to say goodbye to, so she decided to go to Master Pei's mansion for a walk, for safety, Chu Tao specially called Mo Qi and others to escort her.

After just a few steps, Chu Tao changed her mind again, and she decided to take a detour to Yixiang Courtyard first, where she would meet Xie Caiwei, who almost killed herself.

Aunt Ge was not surprised at all when she saw Chu Tao coming, who let Xie Caiwei be sent back again in the past few days, she didn't have time to provoke Chu Tao, she just received a few little girls under her hand, and she was classifying these girls according to their appearance: they are good-looking and give flower names, and the general ones are sent to practice dance, and those who are not good will stay and do chores. She pinched the pen and paper in her hand and didn't raise her head: "Looking for Xie Caiwei?" Cui'er, lead the way. ”

Chu Tao looked at the roster in Aunt Ge's hand steadily, feeling that it was the book of life and death that determined her fate, and she said to the girls who were shabby and shivering, "How did you come here?" ”

A few girls, you look at me, I look at you, I don't dare to talk. There was a bold one who stood up and said: "I, the eldest girl, and the second girl were all sold by my father, and I don't know how many are left." Chu Tao listened and sighed, about the rest were either abducted or sold.
