The woman wiped her eyes, "If you don't have any money, where can you eat beef, Bao'er, let's eat something else." ”

A young man next to him couldn't help but speak, "Sister-in-law, if Bao'er wants to eat, just order one for him." ”

"Uncle, Bao'er is not sensible, are you also sensible? At this time, we have just been raided, not to mention that there is really no silver, even if there is, we can't take it out for a bright use, who knows if someone has been sent to keep an eye on us. ”

The man was stunned by what he said, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Chi Wan and Xie Yutang were a little confused, but they roughly figured out what happened, and it was estimated that this was the old man of a certain eunuch's family who committed an accident, and his family helped the spirit.

Listening to the tone, the matter is quite serious, so that even children have to consider whether they want to eat beef.

Xie Yutang glanced over there quietly, and at this glance, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, this family, he still knew him, wasn't this the previous iron-faced imperial history Chen family?

He was suspicious in his heart, Chen Yushi was upright, and he dared to say anything, but he was indeed a pure minister, but such a pure minister, how could he fall to this point?

Thinking of this, Xie Yutang wanted to go up and ask, but when he thought of his current appearance, he had no choice but to give up. In what capacity did he go up? If it is leaked, it is not just asking for trouble for yourself.

Chi Wan also expected what he was thinking, and gave him a look, asking him not to act rashly, Xie Yutang had to endure it. It's just that when I went out, I passed by the black coffin, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, Chen Yushi actually had such no chrysanthemums, their previous relationship was not bad, and now they met his coffin, but they couldn't go up to worship, and they couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

After leaving the restaurant, Xie Yutang was still a little depressed, Chi Wan saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but comfort, "Okay, Lord Chen will know your suffering." ”

Xie Yutang nodded, and then frowned suspiciously, "What did the Chen family do to be raided?" ”

In this regard, Ji Wan is also very strange. She has heard of Chen Yushi's name to some extent, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, but his temperament is too upright, and it is said that he once contradicted the first emperor. However, he has nothing to say, he has been an official for so many years, if he wants to be honest, Chen Yushi can be regarded as one.

During this time, what happened in the Eastern Xuan Kingdom, could it be that the king of Chu wanted to eradicate dissidents? But it shouldn't be, Chen Yushi looked down on the prince before, and he still valued the king of Chu very much, so there was no reason to fall out.

After thinking about it, I can't think of a reason, so I can only slowly find the answer.

Returning to the familiar place, both of them were full of emotion.

Then I was surprised to find that the capital seemed to be a little different from when they left. The only thing that remains unchanged is the prosperity that is revealed everywhere, after all, the Eastern Xuan Kingdom has always had a good national strength, and in Kyoto, you can even see merchants from the Western Regions.

"I always felt like something was weird." Ji Wan frowned, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar place.

Xie Yutang answered, "I feel this way too. ”

They continued to walk forward, and on the way they met some hurried palanquin drivers, and the person who followed the palanquin should be an official eunuch. However, they were all just walking with their heads down, as if they were in a hurry to do something.

Xiao Er outside the restaurant is still enthusiastically soliciting guests.

"Two guest officers, come in and sit down? Our restaurant is the most famous in the capital, and I will not regret it after drinking. Xiao Er smiled.

Xie Yutang glanced at the restaurant and agreed.

The two entered the restaurant, ordered something, and sat down at random, Chi Wan asked Xie Yutang with her eyes, okay, I just had dinner, why did I come to the restaurant again.

Xie Yutang motioned for her to look to the side, Chi Wan followed his line of sight, and didn't see anything famous, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"There used to be a place for a storyteller, and I came in to listen to the book, only to find out that the gentleman was no longer there."

Chi Wan couldn't help but glance at him, what kind of hobby is Xie Yutang, he still wants to listen to and hear about books?

Xie Yutang didn't know what Chi Wan was thinking, so he just grabbed a guy and asked, "Do you have any storytellers in your restaurant?" ”

"Yo, this guest officer, you see that this store is a small business, where can there be a storyteller?"

"But I remember, it seems to have been there half a year ago." Xie Yutang looked like he was asking casually, but his heart was full of suspicions.

The guy continued to accompany the smiling face, but for some reason, he was a little nervous when he looked at it, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Guest officer, you may not have been to the capital for a long time, and the storyteller in our restaurant has long been gone, in fact, not only us, but also the storyteller in other places is gone." ”

When Xie Yutang heard this, he immediately became interested, why didn't he let him tell the story? You know, some people just come to the store to eat, but in fact they come to the storyteller. For this reason, many stores spend a lot of money on storytellers, hoping to retain customers.

The guy didn't want to say more, but seeing Xie Yutang's curious look, he couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice, "It's not the order issued by the top before, the storytellers in the whole capital have run away." ”

At this moment, even Chi Wan looked at her in surprise, she and Xie Yutang glanced at each other, and saw a deep meaning in each other's eyes.

"To tell you the truth, my husband and I have been running business outside all year round, and it is rare to return to the capital, tell us quickly, what is going on?" Ji Wan moved out of her previous identity as a businessman and tried to get words out of the buddy's mouth

Who knew that the guy was speechless, and he hurriedly took a step back, but he didn't want to say more, so he just said, "Let's use it slowly, I still have something to do, so I'll be busy first." After speaking, without waiting for the two of them to react, they ran away, leaving Chi Wan and Xie Yutang looking at each other.

"What's going on, when will the capital not even tolerate the storyteller?" Chi Wan was very curious, she didn't hear the answer, and her whole heart was itching.

Later, they asked several more guys, and they barely pieced together an answer, which turned out to be that when the Holy Scholar was on a patrol in Weifu, he overheard Mr. Storyteller insinuating his rule, saying that he was a tyrant and cruel. So Long Yan was furious and ordered the storyteller to be arrested, and at the same time explicitly forbade anyone in the capital to tell the story.

After listening to this, Ji Wan didn't know what to say.

"How did the King of Chu become such a person?"

In her impression, the king of Chu has always been personable and gentle, how did his temperament suddenly turn one hundred and eighty degrees after becoming the emperor?

In fact, when the King of Chu was chasing and killing them, Chi Wan was already completely disappointed in the King of Chu, but she didn't expect that the King of Chu could do even more strange things, so in order not to let people talk about him, even the storyteller was driven away.

"Doesn't he know that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan?"

Xie Yutang was calm, and he didn't say a word from just now.

"Ugh." Chi Wan couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, "I kind of know why there's a hint of weirdness everywhere here." Everyone seemed to be very careful, not as open as before. Probably because I was afraid that I would say the wrong thing and be caught by the top. ”

It's a pity that the originally lively capital has become like this.

After getting the news, the two didn't have the heart to stay for a long time, and left the restaurant after settling the bill, Chi Wan asked Xie Yutang if he would go back, Xie Yutang pursed his lips, and thought for a while before he said in a deep voice, "Let's go again." ”

As soon as they walked out of the restaurant's door, they saw a group of people in armor running in front of them. Pedestrians on both sides avoided each other, and a small child who had no time to react was almost knocked into the air.

"Well, somebody's going to be unlucky, right? Who can stand it like this every day? ”

"Shhhh Shut up, or it'll be your turn next. ”

The people next to him whispered, then parted from each other, and walked quickly under their feet, as if they were afraid that they would be targeted by someone.

What the hell is going on? Xie Yutang and Chi Wan glanced at each other, their eyes uncertain. Fortunately, there are still people who haven't left next to them, and their doubts have been solved in a timely manner.

"Since the establishment of this East Factory, we have been arresting people outside every day, and if this continues, we don't dare to go on the streets." This man's voice was not small, and everyone around him heard it.

Xie Yutang saw that he was about thirty years old, with a righteous face, and when he mentioned the East Factory, there was still a sense of indignation on his face, obviously extremely disgusted with this East Factory.

His heart moved, and he walked over and pulled the middle-aged man aside, "This big brother, what are you talking about Dongchang?" ”

The middle-aged man was already full of complaints, and the people around him didn't dare to talk to him, so he was already panicking. Hearing this coldly, he looked Xie Yutang up and down, "From out of town?" ”

Xie Yutang smiled slightly, and did not deny it, "I came to the capital to do business, and I am not very familiar with this place, can the eldest brother explain?" ”

"Don't come to the capital to do business, today's capital is not the capital of the past, as long as you do something wrong, you will be caught in prison by Dongchang, and beaten down with a hard beating, those who lack arms and short legs are lucky, and most of them don't have that life back." The middle-aged man was also kind-hearted, and he mentioned Xie Yutang, but his words were full of sighs.

Xie Yutang's heart moved slightly, but he still maintained a smile on his face, "What the eldest brother said is too serious, right?" If I don't do anything, how can I end up in jail? ”

"Alas, don't believe it, I'm not lying to you, stay here for a day, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds for a day." The middle-aged man persuaded bitterly.

Seeing that the other party still didn't get to the point, Xie Yutang couldn't help but ask, "What is the East Factory?" ”
