Chapter 37: The Outcasts

Perhaps all the goals of tonight have been achieved, Zao Wou-Ki has to continue to track down in addition to paying lip service, and then dismissed everyone, and a seemingly unexpected banquet has come to an end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not only Su Heng, but many smart people have seen that everything that happened tonight is to leave Meng Zhan in Shouyang City, and as for the assassination that Su Heng encountered, it can only be regarded as a disaster.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Ruiying and thanking him by the way, Su Heng and Zhao Jinyu rushed back to Wenxiang Pavilion in the same car.

"Sir, Queen...... No, the queen mother was very good to me, and from her, I even felt the kind of feeling that can only be found in the mother concubine, gentle and doting. Zhao Jinyu was a little excited, her whole face couldn't hide her thoughts, and she chattered endlessly along the way.

Su Heng just listened quietly, his mind was still stuck on tonight's banquet, thinking about the scene when Meng Zhan was forcibly left in Shouyang, without this man in Jiuyuan City, can he really block the iron cavalry of the enemy country?

Su Heng thought of Xiao Ruiying again, the white skirt, the heroic Valkyrie was proudly like a blooming snow lotus on the ice in the moonlight.

Thinking of Situ Yan again, this wise woman really couldn't see Zhao Jinyu's intention to send the collar? I just wanted Zhao Jinyu to gain her favor, but I didn't expect to be adopted as an adopted son, everything was a little unexpected and out of my control.

The banquet held every year, His Royal Highness the Ninth who was adopted as an adopted son, was assassinated without a calamity, and Meng Zhan was forcibly left in Shouyang; It's like a big chessboard that is slowly opening, and everyone is just the chess pieces on it, the chess players are playing, and the chess pieces are killing each other.

……

After a night without words, Su Heng got up on time, and his grasp of the hour was extremely accurate.

The little eunuch in the Wenxiang Pavilion also seemed to know that the young gentleman was sitting on the railing of the cloister at this time, writing and drawing, and hurried over with a brand-new invitation.

"Mr. Su, someone outside just handed me an invitation, saying that he was inviting Mr. to go to the house for tea." The little eunuch's voice was sharp, and he presented the invitation with respectful hands.

Invite me?

Su Heng thought about it, it seems that he doesn't have any friends in Shouyang, if he really wants to say that there is, Xiao Ruiying should be regarded as one, but it is estimated that the Valkyrie with a cold temperament will not be bored enough to invite herself to the mansion to taste tea, saying that it may be similar to go to the barracks to visit the martial arts competition.

After receiving the invitation, Su Heng glanced at ten lines, and the content was polite, but the final signature made him pay attention to it, Situ Remnant.

Situ Remnant, the head of the Situ family of Dachu?

It seems that Queen Situ Yan is from the Situ family......

And it seems that Situ Yan is Situ Yan's father......

Thinking of this, Su Heng didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Help me prepare, I'll go later." ”

The speed of the subordinates' execution was very fast, Su Heng changed into a brocade dress made in Shudi, twisted a brocade box of green tea picked at the time of the morning dew, and went to Situ Mansion under the secret protection of the sword slave.

Because of last night's assassination, even if it was just an accident to explain to Zhao Jinyu, the latter was still very worried about Su Heng's safety, and specially sent a sword slave to protect him.

In this regard, Su Heng did not refuse, after all, it is impossible for a Valkyrie with explosive force to appear around him at any time.

The location of Situ Mansion is located at the south gate of Shouyang City.

The drizzle was pervasive, enveloping the entire Shouyang City; Luoyang paper is expensive, after a hundred years of stable development, Shouyang City is not inferior to Luoyang, which has the reputation of the imperial capital.

In Shouyang, the price of land is doubled again and again, and poor families can only live in large families, working with blood and sweat every day, just to be able to sleep beautifully in this land that is more expensive than gold at night.

And the rich family, dragging a few pieces of land in their hands, smiling from ear to ear, dreaming of how to get rich every day; As for the shrewd merchants, they are even more calculating how to raise the price of land.

The thirteen counties of Dachu have a population of 90 million, of which Shouyang alone has a population of 10 million, and the area at the south gate of Shouyang occupies a population of 5 million.

It is precisely because of the huge number of people, the south gate area, the martial arts prevail, the residents close to this area have a few brushes in their hands, and there are often fights and brawls in order to grab the land, quarrels and other trivial things, according to statistics, there are more than 1,000 people die here every year, and the government is also inexhaustible, inexhaustible, and inexhaustible.

Rao is also helpless with Zao Wouji's iron-blooded character, five million people, can't kill them all.

Similarly, the South Gate is also the place where the princes, ministers, and princes are the most reluctant to come, and they will subconsciously avoid this place every time they visit Shouyang City, even if the children of foreign families listen to its notoriety, they will consciously stay away from here.

The rain is getting heavier, and the wine shops that can be seen everywhere at the south gate are very lively, and several big men with strong bodies are drinking wine together, guessing boxing, whether it is lively, but who knows, how much sadness is hidden behind their smiles, as the people of the Great Chu State, but they are disgusted by the entire Chu State, if it were not for the capital that symbolizes the center of power, they must be just a bunch of abandoned children, five million abandoned children.

Five million people, even if they join the army every year, they fight bravely to kill the enemy, they will die with the enemy regardless of their lives, even if they die on the battlefield in the end, the orphans and widows in the family get only half of the pension of normal people, they have not complained, they have not complained, they just want to change, change the world's perception of them.

Even so, every year the government continues to push their people to the guillotine...... And they could only watch indifferently and numbly, because they had violated the laws of Great Chu, and the punishment they received was ten times that of ordinary people.

Fight and hurt, kill! Steal, crawl, kill! Fight against the government, kill! Their lives are cheaper than ants; They live in the world.

Looking at the rows of red bricks and gray tiles, listening to the sound of the wind gathering rain and the raindrops the size of beans hitting the ground, Su Heng seemed to hear the unwilling roar of the five million people in the wind and rain.

Situ's mansion is not big, and even a little dilapidated, and the horizontal plaque on the gatehouse has obvious traces of paint loss.

The porter was wearing a dress woven of frugal coarse cloth, and when he saw Su Heng, he greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Su, please." ”

Under the guidance of the gatehouse, when he saw Situ Remnant, the head of the Situ family, sitting in the living room in a washed white cloth robe, Su Heng knew that the queen was frugal and simple, and the Situ family had obviously inherited this.

Moreover, the Situ family is quiet, not as ostentatious as ordinary royal relatives and nobles, extravagant and gorgeous, and low-key is a little scary.

"Su Heng pays a visit to Mr. Situ."

Su Heng clasped his hands and bowed.
