Yunxiao City is very big, there are many people in the city, there will be birth, old age, sickness and death every day, one street on this side of the family just got a chubby doll, but the other side is doing the funeral at the same time to send away two old people.

It is said that the two old men are very affectionate, it is said that things are always true and false, but good intentions will always be believed, some people say that the old lady left first, when she went to bed at night, it was okay in the morning, the old man woke up and called her, she was gone, very quiet, the old man did not cry, did not make trouble, and even did not have any emotional ups and downs, changed the old lady's clothes, washed her face, and then sorted out her clothes and went out cleanly, and asked someone to help deal with the aftermath.

In a family like his, there are no descendants and no relatives, so they can only do all the things in vain, from buying a coffin to mourning.

Then the people who were busy in the yard found the old man sitting next to the old lady asleep, and they were busy until the afternoon to ask him to see what was not satisfactory, but they found that the old man was no longer breathing.

There was money and a piece of paper on the table.

The paper reads: I have no children, so I don't have to worry about the house, the government just takes it back to those in need, and I don't have any savings, all the money is put here, to reward the good people who handle the funeral.

Baotou, who was doing white things, looked at the short lines of words for a long time, and then asked his subordinates to pull back the thin coffin just now and replace it with two thick coffins of good wood, in fact, the money was not enough, he just felt that he should do it.

After the neighbors got the news, they all came to see them off, but the old man didn't bother them because he felt unbearable.

The mourning procession went out of the city and was inspected at the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate would not be embarrassed by this kind of thing, and the already small mourning procession went out of the city gate and did not come back.

In the afternoon, the people of the government came to the old man's yard to check it, and if there was no other problem, the door would be sealed, and then the two government officials found the bodies of the two old men in the house, and they were placed on the bed, covered with quilts.

There was also a letter next to the corpse, which was also very short.

I'm really sorry, so I had no choice but to borrow the coffin to go out of the city...... Mu Zhaotong.

The two officials looked at each other, and one said to the other: "Who is Mu Zhaotong, why is this name a little familiar?" ”

The other thought for a moment: "It seems...... A bachelor's degree? ”

The two of them really felt incredible, and hurriedly ran back to the official mansion of Yunxiao City after sealing the door, Lord Fuzhi looked at these short lines of words but was afraid to sweat, he knew that Han Zhaozhi had arrived, and they had met not long ago, Han Zhaozhi said that he didn't believe it at all when Mu Zhaotong might be in Yunxiao City, so he was frightened at this time, he hurriedly beckoned someone to prepare the car without any hesitation, and personally delivered the letter to Han Zhaozhi.

If Song Mouyuan used his own leap to provoke Han Zhaozhi, then the line of words left by Mu Zhaotong is a more obvious provocation, even sarcasm, the inventory in Yunxiao City is so strict, Mu Zhaotong has not found anything where he is hiding, and just now the two old men died, Mu Zhaotong can immediately borrow the coffin to get out of the city, if this is not a ridicule or a mockery, then what else can it be.

Han Zhaozhi looked at the letter and was silent for a moment, although he knew that he should not be able to catch up if he chased it at this time, with Mu Zhaotong's old plan, there must be someone outside the city to answer, Yunxiao City is a big city on the Xishu Road, there are too many roads to go around, and it may not have any result if all the manpower is mobilized to send people to chase after each road, and if Mu Zhaotong is by water, the wharf is not far from the city, and there are too many merchant ships on the waterways of Yunxiao City, and at least hundreds of boats dock and hundreds of boats leave in half a day.

However, you can't help but chase.

Han Zhaozhi thanked Lord Fuzhi, personally sent the people out, and then ordered to send people to chase them.

It was found that the funeral procession had entered a wasteland outside the city, and found the coffin that had been discarded there in the wasteland, and the coffin was empty, and even the group of people who did the white business were nowhere to be found.

When he entered Xishu Dao, Han Zhaozhi asked Nalan Xiaodi how many people he could mobilize, Nalan Xiaodi said that he would transfer people from all over Xishu Dao, plus the people in the sub-office, a total of more than 400 people, and the more than 200 people he brought at that time were already all the people in the sub-office, Han Zhaozhi felt that the team of more than 200 people should be enough, after all, there should be no one available around Mu Zhaotong.

However, today, Han Zhaozhi was sure that not to mention more than 400 people, even if he mobilized a team of 4,000 people, he might not be able to catch up with Mu Zhaotong.

The people assigned to go out had to chase every road, the waterway had to be checked, and even the assumption that Mu Zhaotong had not left at all, and the guards and the people from the government at the city gate had to cooperate to investigate, and the people of the gang who did white things had to be investigated.

Being led by the nose again, once again made Han Zhaozhi feel that he was not so powerful, if Mu Zhaotong did one thing wholeheartedly, his strategy would be much more cautious and complicated than others.

"Your Excellency."

Nie Ye looked at Han Zhaozhi: "Do you want to coordinate with the people from the military?" ”

"The military?"

Han Zhaozhi sighed lightly: "Mu Zhaotong has calculated, as long as Pingyue Dao has a rebellion, the first soldier to rush over to quell the rebellion can only be the soldiers of Xishu Dao, so he will hide in Xishu Dao, General Shi Podang took most of the soldiers to Pingyue Dao to exterminate the traitors This is what he expected, we coordinate the soldiers now, who can we coordinate?" ”

There are no troops to call, not even many van soldiers, it is the entire Pingyue Dao rebellion, Shi Po is mobilizing almost all the troops he can mobilize, including the van soldiers.

Speaking of old scheming, Mu Zhaotong may not lose to anyone.

"Now it's time to think about where Mu Zhaotong will go next."

Han Zhaozhi looked at the sky, feeling a little powerless for the first time.

Chang'an City.

Mr. Shen entered Beijing and went straight to Weiyang Palace.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the emperor personally poured a cup of tea for Mr. Shen, and then glanced at Dai Fangzhou, who immediately understood, and asked all the servants to retreat, including himself, and there were only two monarchs and ministers left in the entire Dongnuan Pavilion, relatively speechless.

After a long time, the emperor let out a long breath: "Nine years old...... When you go, is it hard? ”

"Also...... OK. ”

Mr. Shen replied with his head down.

The two of them fell silent again, and for at least half a pillar of incense did not speak.

The emperor got up and patted Mr. Shen on the shoulder: "I know that you are sadder than me, so many years have passed between you and the age of nine, he may have been thinking about how to untie this knot, in fact, he has already thought about it." ”

Mr. Shen nodded: "The minister knows, but the minister has no knot in his heart, and the minister has never felt that it was a nine-year-old mistake, and it was not him who was wrong." ”

The emperor snorted: "You don't have a heart knot, you have it at the age of nine." ”

He walked to the window: "I have already sent someone to Pingyue Road, in Tuohai County, right?" Only...... Don't let him go back to Chang'an so hard, renovate the tomb, re-erect the monument, and let him sleep there. ”

Mr. Shen nodded again, not knowing what to say.

The emperor said: "Go and see those two little guys, they have gained a lot of weight in Concubine Zhen's Palace, Ning'er is fine, and the step-son is really naughty, you will know that you can curl Lai Chengqi's beard ...... I, I still have a lot of things to deal with, you go over first. ”

Mr. Shen got up, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "It's the minister's mistake." ”

The emperor's hand held on to the table, did not look back, still looking out the window: "The people around me, no matter what time it is, I know and believe that you will never do anything sorry for me, and your mistakes are the same, I will not believe that you have the idea of harming me in your heart, even if you have a breath of time, but if you are wrong, there will be a price, the price you have borne is big enough, I will not punish you, nor will I blame you, let's go." ”

If it weren't for Mr. Shen to go to seek establishment for Shen Leng, Shang would not have chased after him at the age of nine, and he would not have died, many things in this world will have causes and consequences, which can be ignored, but they cannot but admit their existence.

Mr. Shen kowtowed again, and saw blood on his forehead, and he got up to leave, his back depressed.

In the palace of Concubine Zhen.

Tea Ye rushed over to pick up the two children, he hadn't seen his children for more than two years, the two little guys were still a little timid at first, but after all, it was the mother and son who were connected, and it didn't take long for them to be inseparable.

"When my mother is away, are you obedient?"

The tea master kissed each of the two little guys on the face, and the two little guys smiled beautifully.

"I'm obedient."

Xiao Shen Ji said seriously: "I am my brother, and I want to be an example for my sister as an elder brother." ”

Xiao Shen Ning is also serious: "I am better than my brother." ”

The tea master sat down with the two of them, and she couldn't even take the water handed over by Concubine Zhen, so she could only smile apologetically at Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen handed the water cup to the tea master, the tea master was startled, and looked at Concubine Zhen with a little trepidation, Concubine Zhen just smiled and nodded, so she fed the tea master and drank water.

"Is the road hard?"

"It's not hard."

The tea master looked at Concubine Zhen: "Niangniang has really worked hard in the past two years. ”

"You're still not used to calling me mother, the same word as mother."

Tea Ye was even more frightened when he heard this, Concubine Zhen treated her too well, she knew that it might be that Concubine Zhen couldn't be better to Shen Leng, so she doubled this kind of goodness to her, and also gave her and Shen Leng's child.

Concubine Zhen said: "Whatever you want, I won't force you." ”

She looked at Xiao Shen Ji and Xiao Shen Ning and smiled: "Seeing that the head has grown, one day at a time, Ning'er is well-behaved and obedient, step-son...... Always do something that feels incredible. ”

She got up and came back with a few pieces of paper, unfolded the first one and showed it to the tea master: "See, this is it, he slapped the university scholar Lai Cheng angrily in his palm, and he still thinks that he is right." ”

The paper was the last time I didn't bring paper to the toilet, and the tea master laughed when he saw it.

"This is today."

Concubine Zhen unfolded another piece of paper: "In the morning, Lai Cheng came into the palace to check their homework yesterday, and then arranged today's homework, today's homework is not difficult, there is a painting hanging in my palace, what you have seen is the ink painting of a small road and a pavilion, let them write a few lines of poetry according to the artistic conception of this ink painting, it doesn't matter if it is not complete, as long as it is written, this is written by the stepchild, I don't know if I should show it to Lai Cheng tomorrow." ”

The tea master looked at it, and then his eyes widened.

Outside the pavilion,

Ancient roadside,

Yu Xianye Crane,

The shepherd's idle clouds are in the sky.

The words in front are still serious, and the back is ......

I'm only four or five years old.

Above,

Blind fabrication.
