Chapter 8 The Burning Hearts of the People

The snow that has been sprinkled for more than half a month finally completely dyed Jiangling white, Gao Jixing fainted and fell to the corner of the broken wall, his body was covered with a thick layer of snow, the tall prince of Jiangling City was surprised, at this moment, I am afraid that no one will care if he is frozen to death here.

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

With a rapid cough, Gao Jixing woke up. Got up with difficulty, shook off the snow on his body, walked aimlessly forward like a walking corpse, the general's mansion was raided, where can he go at this moment.

Rubbing his frozen red hands, he looked back at the execution ground, which was empty and covered in snow.

How could an unprecedented prison disaster evolve like this, Gao Jixing didn't understand, now he wants to know more than anyone else, what happened?! My mother, what did my Gao family do wrong?

Walking to the gate of Gangneung, there are no pedestrians on the empty avenue, but from time to time there are rich and noble people in and out by carriage, Gao Ji Xingqiu's clothes are covered with heavy snow, and he can't see his eyes when he lowers his head.

"Hey, where did the beggar come from, get out, don't you know where this is?! This is an imperial city, how can you beggars have a place to stay. ”

The doorman, who was stomping his feet to ward off the cold, suddenly saw a "snowman".

The "snowman" bowed his head and continued to walk.

"Hey, I don't understand people, do you?"

The doorman picked up the spear and pointed at the "snowman", but the snowman seemed to crash straight into the spear like a headless ghost, and the doorman hurriedly put it away, looked at each other for a while, and finally swallowed his saliva, stepped forward and pushed the "snowman" and hurriedly retracted.

"Uh~"

Gao Jixing, who was already weak, fell to the ground.

The two guards saw that it was Gao Jixing, and they immediately snorted, when the Gao family was not down, no one saw Gao Jixing on Yangguan Avenue outside Jiangling City, and the horses were galloping, and they were still whispering at that time, don't fall off the horse one day, and your head will be bleeding.

How arrogant Gao Jixing used to be, he is also a water dog now, but the more hateful thing about the villain in the market is that he beats the water dog.

The guards in iron armor glanced at each other, snickered and walked towards Gao Jixing, who seemed to be a little hesitant and timid, but finally mustered up the courage and kicked down.

For a while, the sound of punching, kicking, moaning, and angry scolding in the heavy snow was significantly more harsh.

"Isn't it usually rampant! Why, you also met grandpa and me one day! ”

"Lao Tzu kicked you to death!"

After a long time...... The two doormen blushed and gasped as if they were tired and finally stopped, spat and left.

Gao Jixing's already tattered clothes added a few holes, and he could vaguely see the blurred flesh and blood that appeared, trying to protect his head, so that he would not be beaten to death, or broken, he wanted someone to still recognize him, he wanted to know that even if he Gao Jixing was not like that, how could his Gao family be sorry for Daqin.

Struggling to his feet, he endured the pain and weakness and walked into the city.

In front of the Wu Mansion, Gao Jixing stood for a long time and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

The master of the Wu Mansion did the fur business with Da Chu in the early years, in this era it is also considered to be blood on the tip of the knife, once outside the frontier was robbed by robbers, his father Gao Ling happened to take a team of people to pass by not only rescued him, but also did not behead him according to the law of Daqin, but also sent him back to the territory safe and sound, these years the Wu family has gradually grown into one of the top two wealthy families in the capital, and the Gao and Wu families are even more close, once the master of the Wu family even tried his best to marry his daughter to Gao Jixing, I don't mind the dirty things he does.

Squeak~, the red door of Wufu opened a crack, the housekeeper stretched out his head to look left and right, and for a while he didn't recognize the down-and-out Gao Jixing, thinking that he was a beggar who came from to ask for food, he scolded and got out, and he was busy closing the door.

Seeing this, Gao Jixing hurriedly pressed his leg against it, and said, "Trouble the housekeeper Rongyu, just say that Gao Jixing wants to see Uncle Wu." ”

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard that it was Gao Jixing, and secretly hesitated to let Gao Jixing wait in place to return to report.

Gao Jixing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was still a glimmer of hope.

After waiting for half an hour, Gao Jixing stood at the door of the snowy Wu Mansion, his hands and ears were red from the cold, and he was already standing and waiting.

Finally, the gate of the Wu Mansion slowly opened, still the housekeeper just now, and seemed a little surprised to see that Gao Jixing was still waiting, Gao Jixing hurriedly opened his frozen mouth and asked with a smile: "Where is Uncle Wu?" ”

The housekeeper also seemed to be caught off guard by Gao Jixing's persistence, and stammered that the master went to Hanshan Temple outside the city and had not come back.

Gao Jixing continued: "It's okay, when Uncle Wu will come back, I'll just wait." ”

Seeing this, the housekeeper finally became impatient: "You go, my master doesn't see you!" Don't come again! ”

Boom! The door is closed.

Gao Jixing's smile gradually froze, he sighed and turned to leave with a wry smile, and his figure gradually dissipated in the alley in the heavy snow.

In the lobby of the Wu Mansion, the owner of the Wu family admired the smoke of the Bowang furnace with great interest, and on the left was a woman of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a mink skirt wrapped around the bumpy body, with red lips and white teeth, but also a beautiful embryo.

"Gone?" The master of the Wu family finally spoke.

The butler who had just blown away Gao Jixing under the hall nodded yes.

"Daddy?!"

"See Xue, I know what you want to say, your father and I are not villains, it is not because the Gao family is Mo Luo who looks down on that kid, my Wu family has gone through so many hardships to get to this point, a large part of it is that we made the right choice, it was before and now, the new emperor has only been on the throne for a few months, and the Gao family has been completely eradicated in this way, it is by no means so simple as it seems on the surface, that kid seems to be down, but in fact there are too many pairs of eyes staring at him in this capital, at this time we show our close actions, Some people must think that my Wu family has no old love for the Gao family! I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. ”

Wu Yuanjian, the master of the Wu family, was still fiddling with the gilded Bowang furnace that had just been found and belonged to the Great Chu Palace.

Wang Jianxue frowned slightly, her ten fingers were twisted, and she was slightly coquettish, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to be soaked in a pool of peach blossom water, which was very moving.

Seeing this, Wu Yuanjian angrily threw the stove on the table, lowered his voice and shouted angrily: "There are countless sons and beauties in Jiangling City, why do you fall in love with that gentleman!" ”

At that time, Gao Jixing only thought that the Wu family proposed to marry his only daughter to him, the hanger lang who was scolded by everyone in Jiangling, in order to tie up the powerful general's mansion, who knew that there was a slight rain on the Qingming Festival that year, and he casually threw the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to the down-and-out girl who stole out of the house to play and left in a dashing manner.

Love has always been so simple, but Wu Yuanjian, who has exhausted his calculations, is his choice really right this time?

Zheng Youtong, the secretary of the military department, was a friend of Gaoling, and before Gao Jixing stepped on the threshold, he rushed out of a group of house slaves with sticks in hand and surrounded him

.............

The heavy snow stopped for a while, Jiangling City gradually became lively, and there were gradually began to be vendors on the street to open their shops, Gao Jixing put his hands in his sleeves, his eyebrows were already frozen, and his teeth couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes glanced at the steamed buns that had just been steamed at the door of the steamed bun shop, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and touched the cuffs and plackets were empty, and he turned his head and was about to leave, when suddenly a bun rolled to his side with steam, and looked back at the slightly disdainful eyes of the owner of the bun shop, and hesitated for a long time, Gao Jixing clenched his fists but still bent down to pick up the buns that fell on the snow, and before he could swallow them, he hurriedly ran away.

The magnificent era likes everything magnificent, when the Emperor of Great Chu loved Taoism metaphysics, he built the "Southern Dynasty Four Hundred and Eighty Views" and later the Taoist Gate did not fall, and the pavilion became the place of the market, which also made the Yangzhou pavilion of today, a faction of national fortune rising scene, even though the lord of the Great Qin Zhongxing Li Yi died young, but at least it also brought more than ten years of grandeur to the Great Qin, Jiangling City did not have the prosperity of the southern Chu State Yangzhou like ten steps and one gold, but there is no lack of wealthy families, rich and noble, compare with each other, build buildings.

Fu Guo Hou is one of them, Fu Guo Hou Mansion pavilions, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres, legend has it that many years ago Li Yi will be the treasure of the Great Qin - the seventh place on the weapon list of the monument placed in the house, heavily guarded, which on the other hand also shows the importance of the emperor to the rich country Hou, all because the rich country Hou did not hesitate to sell his property in the early years to support Li Yi to change the law to strengthen the country, so as to get the grace, not only rewarded ten thousand gold but also settled in the name of the Hou in the capital, and later the rich country Hou lived in a simple place, and gradually faded out of people's sight, However, the son of the rich country and the old man - Zhang Yang, followed Gao Jixing, and ran through the capital with the name of the gentleman, and at the peak, there was a nursery rhyme that was high and high, and everyone fell into the wilderness.

Where is there a place for him Gao Jixing in the huge capital, standing in front of the magnificent Fuguo Houfu, when he and Zhang Yang were in cahoots before, no matter what kind of disaster he created, he would flee into the Fuguo Houfu to escape, but Gao Jixing had never seen this mysterious Fuguo Hou, and he rarely heard Zhang Yang mention it.

Standing in front of the door of the Fuguo Houfu, Gao Jixing tried to choke on the bun in his mouth, and before he could muster up his courage, the huge main gate of the Fuguo Houfu slowly opened a crack, and two rows of guards in silver armor ran out together, on both sides, a middle-aged man in a robe was behind his back with one hand, and the other hand stretched out to greet Gao Jixing with a smile, as if he had been waiting for a long time, Gao Jixing never thought that he could see the mysterious Fuguo Hou, and when he came here, he just wanted to read the old love without being too cold, But the Marquis of Fu Guo seemed to have been waiting for him.

Fu Guohou stood on the steps and looked at Gao Jixing still smiling, and only spoke after a while: "Child, do you think I don't know about the dirty things you and my family Zhang Yang did before." ”

Gao Jixing touched his nose stupidly.

"Haha."

Fu Guohou laughed heartily.

Fu Guohou waved his sleeve robe, and waved a jade pendant with a dagger the size of a palm and threw it in front of Gao Jixing.

"This is what your parents left you, ask me to give it to you, and keep it."

Gao Jixing's eyes were slightly red, and he picked it up and put it in his arms.

Suddenly, Fu Guohou said loudly: "I still have to follow the laws of the imperial court, and I can't give you any real help, Gao Jixing!" I will give you another gift today, and help me take care of Yang'er in the future

Fuguo Hou turned around, with the blessing of the ancestor of Wudang Mountain, the "Qin Gate", which is known as the weapon list, slowly opened, and finally had an unobstructed view of the scenery in the mansion of Gao Ji Xingfu, and then the Fuguo Hou robe turned around and walked in, and the gate was closed.

Standing outside the gate, he was a little stunned, he had entered this Hou Mansion countless times, and the scenery in the mansion was also clear, and the gift given to him by the Marquis of Fu Guo was to open the main gate? Putting the jade pendant and dagger into his arms, Gao Jixing didn't think much about it anymore, no matter what, it was already a great kindness for the Marquis of Fuguo to hand over his parents' relics to me, but it was a pity that he didn't see Zhang Yang.

After the Qin Gate was closed, the Marquis of Fu Guo walked to the backyard, followed by an extremely soft man, the man bent down and attached himself to the Marquis of Fu Guo and said: "The Qin Gate is wide open, most of the national fortune is dissipated, and the treasures in the palace will inevitably suffer great damage, and the old things in the court will inevitably be in trouble, besides, the so-called Great Zhou Guoyun is of no use to that down-and-out son, and there is really no ......."

Fu Guohou didn't look back, smiled and took out a big red pants from his cuffs, and the soft face of the man behind him twitched.

"My son and he are brothers, is this reason enough?"

Fu Guohou muttered as he walked, "It's a big deal, isn't it over if Xiaoyaozi comes to make up for it again!" ”

The soft man was speechless for a while, daring to love this marquis who treated the master of the world as a mason.

Since the "Qin Gate" was established in this Hou Mansion, it has only been opened once, and that time was the arrival of the master of the world's pavilion, Xiaoyaozi, and now it is open again.

About half an hour later, all the dignitaries in Jiangling Mansion knew that the Qin Gate was opened, and the Wu Mansion was no exception.
