XXXIV. Black clouds crush the city 4

Wang Miao looked back along the carriage, looked at the carriages full of gifts, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's very good, don't bring so many people when you leave, it's enough to bring a dozen people, and if you bring too many people, you want to go to Xingshi to ask for guilt." We are here to comfort others, and when we go to Zhang's mansion, we will speak politely. ”

In Liaozhou, Chengwangfu has always been a heaven-like existence, and the guards of the palace naturally speak with a little arrogance.

"My subordinates understand," the guard bowed.

Wang Miao turned around and looked into the door of the palace, as if waiting for someone. The courtyard facing the main entrance of the palace is the front hall of the palace, which is different from the design of the entrance hall of other people's houses, and you can directly see the scene inside when you stand at the gate of the palace.

Wang Miao could just see that Wang Huan, who was dressed in yellow gauze in the distance, ran towards him.

East Courtyard.

Meng Xin didn't know that the main gate of the palace was so lively at this time, he was still sitting on the bed, and gradually came back to his senses, because he heard footsteps coming from far to near.

"Oh, oh" The person standing at the door knocked on Meng Xin's door, "Manager Meng, I'm Lao Zuo, I have something to report to you." ”

Lao Zuo is the old man of the palace, and when Zhao Xiu didn't come to Liaozhou, Lao Zuo was the housekeeper here. He has been watching this courtyard for the government, and after Zhao Xiu came, because he was not familiar with it, he did not dismiss it, but kept it to this day.

Everyone in the palace called him Lao Zuo, or Zuo Chief. He is nearly sixty years old, and now he is the deputy head of the entire palace, Meng Xin is the first leader, and he is the second in command. He wore this brown dress all the year round, and he bent his back and tried to raise his head, and said to the house.

Meng Xin heard Lao Zuo's voice and hurriedly replied, "What's the matter with Lao Zuo?" ”

"Well, the maid next to the princess has come to the East Courtyard, saying that she wants me to inform you, the princess is going to go out, saying that she is going to visit Zhang's Mansion, so let you help take care of the West Courtyard to avoid any mess." Lao Zuo spoke again and again, as if he couldn't breathe.

When Meng Xin heard that Wang Miao was going out of the house, he couldn't help but be a little strange, "The princess rarely goes out, what happened?" Why didn't I hear the report from the people in Xiyuan? Doubts arose in Meng's confidence.

Meng Xin said loudly: "Lao Zuo, come in and talk about it." ”

Lao Zuo generally doesn't manage the affairs of the palace very well, and generally Meng Xin personally handles the big and small matters of the palace, so this time Lao Zuo also came to inform Meng Xin, Lao Zuo heard Meng Xin call him in, and pushed open Meng Xin's door with his thin hands.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Zuo saw Meng Xin sitting on the bed with a pale face, a trace of surprise flashed in Lao Zuo's eyes, and then he lowered his eyelids and stood quietly in front of Meng Xin.

Meng Xin stroked the clothes on his body and lowered his head and asked, "Wang Huan said that he didn't say which Zhangzhang Mansion the princess is going to?" ”

"Well, I said that I went to Liaozhou Mu Zhang Jin's house to visit Zhang Jin's wife, Zhang Liu." Lao Zuo said very slowly, as if he was afraid that Meng Xin would not understand, and deliberately accentuated the two words Zhang Jin.

Yesterday, Zhao Xiu beat Zhang Liu's family, and the whole of Nanning has spread all over you, as the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

As soon as Meng Xin heard that Wang Miao was going to Zhang's Mansion, he immediately understood what was going on.

The princess became a princess but Zhang Fu apologized? How does this work? What's more, this is a situation created by Zhao Xiu? Meng Xin's first reaction was to rush to stop it immediately, but as soon as he wanted to get up, he sat down again.

"With my identity, it's really inappropriate to stop Wang Miao, a housekeeper of the palace is blocking the master's way, this is simply a crime, and I can't stop her, I can't tell her that the prince deliberately beat Zhang Liu, what can I do?" Meng Xin lowered his head and thought about countermeasures, not paying attention to Lao Zuo's expression at all.

Lao Zuo frowned with a look of disappointment, sighed, and said slowly: "Mr. Meng really doesn't have to worry, what Wang Huan's little girl said is like the princess is just to comfort and comfort, not to apologize." ”

Comfort and apology are two meanings, Meng Xin heard Lao Zuo say this, and he had a bottom in his heart.

"Master Meng, Master Meng," came a voice from outside the house, and the voice came from far away, all the way to the door, and in a few moments, a slightly younger servant rushed in from the door.

"Hey, you're crazy looking for a fight." Meng Xin grimaced and said to the little servant.

The little servant couldn't help but pause when he saw that there were still people in Meng Xin's room, and when he saw that it was the deputy chief of the left, he was relieved again.

"Manager Meng, it was the prince who asked me to come to you, and the prince asked you to go to the study to see him quickly." The little servant said loudly.

When Meng Xin heard that Zhao Xiu was looking for him, he knew that Zhao Xiu should have rushed back overnight, so he hurriedly got up and walked out.

"Lao Zuo, I know about the princess, so you go to the west courtyard to help watch, I have to go to the study."

Lao Zuo bowed down, nodded and said, "Okay, okay." ”

Meng Xin walked past Lao Zuo, walked out of the door, and hurriedly walked towards the study in the east courtyard.

The path leading to the study in the east courtyard was very straight, Meng Xin ran to the study with a trot for a while, and as soon as Meng Xin entered the door, he saw Zhao Xiu sitting in front of the table, looking at the paper on the bookcase.

Meng Xin recognized the real Zhao Xiu as well, "Lord Wang, you are back, why is it really fast?" ”

Zhao Xiu's face looked tired, "There is an evil person watching in the Dark Mountain, so I don't have to worry about it at all, I just went over and took a look." But this time, I went to talk to the evil one, and I had some new ideas. ”

Zhao Xiu wanted to continue, but Meng Xin interrupted Zhao Xiu's words, "Lord Wang, did you see the princess going out when you came?" ”

"Huh? Out? In Zhao Xiu's impression, Wang Miao almost stayed at home, since she married into the palace, she rarely went out, and the number of times she left the palace every year was counted on one hand.

"Wang Huan came to the East Courtyard, saying that the princess was going to Zhang Jin's mansion as a guest, and said that she wanted to express condolences to Zhang Liu's family."

"What?" Zhao Xiu rolled his eyes, "What?" Zhao Xiu rolled her eyes, "She went to Zhang's Mansion?" ”

"Yes, do you need to call the princess back?" Meng Xin hurriedly asked, his body also turned halfway, ready to walk out at any time. But Zhao Xiu didn't let Meng Xin hurry up and Wang Miao called back, but laughed out loud.

"Wonderful, it's wonderful, slap a sweet date, when did Miao'er become so scheming?" Zhao Xiu twisted his head and smiled.

"No, isn't it to provoke Zhang Jin, what's the matter?" Meng Xin was puzzled.

After Zhao Xiu laughed, he shook his head and said, "I went to the Dark Mountain this time and talked to the evil spirit, and I now have new ideas about the current situation in Liaozhou. I'm not going to fight Zhang Jin anymore, I'm going to do it another way. ”

"Another way?"

"Yes, the principle remains the same, but in a different way, it is still forced to do it. It's just that we didn't force him, and it must be any force in Liaozhou that did it, but his master forced him. Zhao Xiu looked at Meng Xin with a smile, confident and confident.

Meng Xinli was still very anxious, "There is one more thing, I have to tell you now." ”

Zhao Xiu looked at Meng Xin's face and knew that he was not joking, he was really anxious. He straightened up unconsciously.

"The person who assassinated you in the restaurant yesterday was Zheng Xinshi's subordinate, Zheng Xinshi ran from Shangjing to Liaozhou, if nothing else, he was in Zhang Jin's house." Meng Xin said quickly, but when Zhao Xiu heard the name Zheng Xinshi, he was stunned.

Zhao Xiu was like a fool, his mouth was slightly open, his eyes were confused, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

"What, Zheng Xinshi is fucking in Liaozhou? And send someone to kill me? No, no, no. Zhao Xiu hurriedly shook his head.
