Li Bantou was a little inexplicable, he was quite confident just now, why did he run away like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw his waist card? He hadn't been so angry before, and Liu Xunji didn't dare to go to other provincial mansions to inspect because of the rampant bandits outside. It's been almost a year, and I haven't handled a single case yet.

He felt that Liu Xun was planning to spend this year and a half in office, and then return to Beijing safely. I didn't expect that the signboard of this patrol press imperial history is quite effective, as long as you show the waist card, you can scare people away.

Li Yan bowed his hand to Li Bantou and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Ban said dizzily: "You're polite, you're polite." ”

Li Yan asked Wu Niang, "What now?" ”

"I, I don't know." Wu Niang's mind is still a little empty now. He just didn't want that Zhang Wuye to be rude before, and he didn't want to marry that lust@demon. But now when I asked her what her plans were, he didn't think about it at all.

Li Yan said: "Let's go back to the city first, and then think slowly when you get home." ”

Wu Niang nodded first, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I can't go back to the palace." If I go back to the palace, then I still have to marry that villain, and I can't go back. ”

"Then you can find a place by yourself," Li Yan said indifferently: "It's better to go to the city now." Do you know how to ride a horse? ”

Wu Niang was a little distressed, but she had nowhere to go. And she couldn't ride a horse, so she had to shake her head helplessly.

Li Yan looked around and found that there were a lot of sedan chairs and carriages. There are a lot of people gathered here, most of them are families who gather together to enjoy the beauty of spring. However, most of the trees have been stripped of their bark, and the wild vegetables that can be eaten have been dug up, so there is no spring to enjoy.

But it's custom, people have been hiding at home for a winter, and they all want to come out and move around and relax. There are kite flyers, a group of friends who get together to drink and compose poems, and there are men and women who take advantage of this rare opportunity to get to know each other so that they can find the other half of their lives. So everyone has something to do, even the small dispute that happened here just now did not affect people's Yaxing.

Naturally, those sedans can't all be their own, and they are also rented. Li Yan instructed: "Go and see if there is a sedan car that can go back to the city, the price is easy to say, but it really can't be done, give food." ”

"Yes!" Wang Renjie, the leader of Li Yan's personal soldiers, agreed, and quickly ran to ask. It took a while to find a carriage. This carriage is for two liters of grain, and he would rather return the money of his original employer and bear the consequences of his bad reputation to do Li Yan's business. It can be seen that in Kaifeng City, not everyone can eat enough.

After Li Yan and the others entered the city, they still placed all the guards in the inn first, and also opened a room for Wu Niang. However, this time he didn't go directly to Li Chunyu, after all, this time he came to be questioned by the imperial historian, and it also involved the Zhou Palace, so he didn't plan to go home until he solved the problem.

Zhou Wangfu, garden.

Zhou Wang Zhu Gongqi is already sixty years old, although he eats and drinks well, and there is nothing to worry about, but after all, he is old and can't move. So he didn't go out of the city to worship his ancestors, but let the prince do it, and he walked around the garden of the palace, which can be regarded as a trip.

He was sitting in the pavilion listening to Kunqu Opera, when a little eunuch came to report and invited Zhang Guiren, who was accompanying him, out. After a while, Zhang Guiren came back with a frown.

King Zhou took Zhang Guiren over and asked distressedly, "Beauty, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Guiren told King Zhou what the Wu family's sister-in-law told her, and then asked, "Lord, how is this good?" If you really let the patrol report to the emperor, then the concubine, but what should I do? ”

King Zhou frowned when he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen was not a sentient emperor. Last year, I had to raise money with the clan, and if it weren't for the "Nine Lotus Bodhisattva" to condemn the crime, maybe now I would have started to ask for money from a vassal king like them.

And to be honest, these vassal kings, in terms of blood, don't know how far away from the current emperor a long time ago. If it is placed in the people, it will definitely be old and dead. It's just that they bear the name of the Huangming clan, and they can still eat the Lu rice of the imperial court and enjoy the wealth of eternity. If they really do anything wrong, it will not be possible to withdraw the feudal domain, but the fine and silver will be reduced.

"Lord Wang, do you have any ideas?" Zhang Guiren urged. She is a concubine outside the quota, and she has a son who has not been asked for a seal, so she is in such a hurry.

King Zhou asked the matter again in detail, and then said slowly: "Since you have revealed your identity, but you have not taken people away, it shows that these people also know how to advance and retreat." Since they don't want to get into trouble, then they won't bother with this matter again, you can rest assured. ”

As soon as he heard that it was okay, Zhang Guiren immediately let go of all his worries. At this time, she remembered Wu Niang and his cousin again, so she reminded: "What about Wu Niang's marriage?" ”

"Just find another one for your cousin." King Zhou said with a smile: "Forget Wu Niang, from today on, there should be no such person as her." You explain to the people in the house, don't let them chew their tongues! ”

"What's the right one?" Zhang Guiren was a little unhappy and asked coquettishly.

King Zhou said casually: "There is no palace in the palace, just go and see the other county kings and generals' mansions, our family is so big and has such a population, I am afraid that there is no suitable daughter?" You just have to look for it, and after we find it, let's ask her for the title of county lord? ”

Zhang Guiren was finally happy, so he said with a smile: "Then thank the prince first." ”

Shizi's dormitory, study.

"Shizi," one of his subordinates reported, "the yacha of the patrol faction has returned, and that Li Yan has also brought him, and he has also brought ten guards, and there seems to be family members in between. ”

"Wow! When you come to Kaifeng, you come to play! Some chubby princes sneered and said, "You keep an eye on him and see where he goes?" Who to meet? The people who dare to touch our Zhou Wangfu don't look to see if he has horns on his head. This time, he will be sentenced heavily! Let those untouchables who are ready to move see that in Kaifeng Mansion, it is still the largest in our Zhou Wangfu! ”

The subordinate bowed down and said: "The villain is ready, and the people have been found, as long as he sees the patrol, then this Li Yan must be a big crime of rebellion, raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and Ling Chi will be executed!" ”

"All the words have been taught?" Shizi asked worriedly.

The servant nodded and said, "It's all taught, there should be no problem." ”

"Okay, it's up to tomorrow!" Shizi smiled and said, "As long as this Li Yan is convicted, he will be able to get his hands on the nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land." Being able to turn so many barren fields into fertile fields can be regarded as some skills, but it's a pity. ”
