In the Yuanshan Temple, Zhao Dezhao and Zhou Jiamin knew that Li Yu had sent people to search for them overnight, so they went out of the gate of the mountain temple together and saw Huangfu Jixun leading a group of forbidden troops in the palace and the government army of Jiangning Mansion.

The moment Huangfu Jixun saw Zhao Dezhao, although there was a father's enmity between the two, Huangfu Jixun was hindered by Li Yu's advice, but he still bowed and said: "I have seen Wei Wang Chitose and Zhou Xiaoniang, I don't know if you two were okay last night, Your Majesty is not worried about your safety, so he specially sent this general to come!" ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "General Huangfu, you are finally here, yesterday this king was assassinated outside the dignified Jiangling Mansion, and I don't know who did it?" But fortunately, even if the general rushed to the Yuanshan Temple, this king estimates that if the general does not come today, the group of assassins will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity! ”

"Oh? Chitose you were assassinated? Who did it, we captured one of them last night by the roadside, was it the assassin in Chitose's mouth? Huangfu Jixun suddenly thought of the man in black he met in the middle of the road last night, so he immediately ordered the soldiers on the left and right, "Bring the assassin up—"

The assassin had already been brought up, his hands tied behind his back, and as soon as Zhao Dezhao saw this person's figure, he said: "He was the one who assassinated yesterday, but there are the other three, I wonder if General Huangfu can be caught together?" ”

"Not really." Huangfu Jixun shook his head, at the same time, he was also looking forward to why he caught this assassin last night, otherwise it would not be difficult for these assassins to assassinate Zhao Dezhao, and he also hoped that Zhao Dezhao would be assassinated in his heart, so as to indirectly avenge his father, alas, alas.

Zhao Dezhao saw Huangfu Jixun's face gloomy, and he vaguely guessed what he was thinking, but Zhao Dezhao didn't have any expression, and the two chatted casually for a few words, and then began to go back to the city.

Zhou Jiamin, who was beside him, followed quietly and didn't say a word on the way.

……

In the palace, Li Yu had received a report from Huangfu Jixun, since the Song envoy was safe and sound, Li Yu's safety was alleviated a lot, and he heard Huangfu Jixun say that he had caught an assassin who assassinated Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, so he immediately ordered the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the matter and give the Song envoy an explanation.

After arranging for the officials to investigate, Li Yu leaned on the railing of the pavilion at this time, looking at the remnants of the pond, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, Zhao Dezhao spent the night with the two lonely men and widows last night, and he didn't know what would happen in it, he was still uneasy in his heart, but because of the filial piety for the late Empress Dowager Zhong, Li Yu did not make the holy decree for the time being.

……

Since Zhao Dezhao returned to the protocol, Xiao Guizi, Dong Zhongyan and others were very happy to see that the King of Wei had returned safe and sound, and then they heard about the assassination yesterday, and the two were indignant, but fortunately Li Yu had arranged for some officials to investigate the matter.

Since the assassination of Zhao Dezhao, the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are sending people to investigate, and recently Li Yu has sent some forbidden troops to guard around the protocol, in order to prevent the assassination from happening again, of course, Li Yu also has a purpose, that is, to monitor Zhao Dezhao in disguise.

At this time, Zhao Dezhao of the Protocol House also felt that there were more people around him every day, and it was a little tricky to go to Chenyuan's side, and it was estimated that Chen Yuan would have to visit the Protocol House at night.

On the night of the 11th, a dark shadow appeared in the backyard of the concierge house, and the two soldiers guarding the door were also stunned. Zhao Dezhao heard footsteps from the room, so he immediately got up and put on a piece of clothing and went out to investigate.

"Subordinate Chen Yuan has seen the young master!"

"Chenyuan, get up, it's inconvenient for me to go out recently, so I'll bother you." Zhao Dezhao then told Chen Yuan about the appearance of the people who assassinated them yesterday afternoon and the weapons in his hands, and asked him to secretly investigate the matter, and he vaguely felt that the back of these assassins was not simple.

Then Zhao Dezhao asked again: "How has Fan Ruoshui been lately?" ”

"This person has been recuperating in another hospital, Dr. Liu said that it is almost, since the last time Huangfu Shaojie beat him so that he could not take the exam, in recent days, he has been with his subordinates, and his subordinates have also heard about the ambition in his chest, this person is probably as His Highness said that he is young, extraordinary, and full of knowledge, not only good at the subset of history, but also good at astronomy and geography, especially water conservancy construction, although this person now lives in another courtyard, I am afraid that he is also a restless lord, why not come forward to recruit him."

"No...... Not for the time being, people like Fan Shuqing are honest and tough, and they are quite high and not afraid of the powerful, for such talents, it is naturally what my Great Song Dynasty lacks, Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who wish to take the bait, it is not good to deliberately approach. ”

"The young master is wise!"

"Chenyuan, you have also learned to pat on the back."

"The young master is naturally wise, and his subordinates admire him, does the young master have any other instructions?"

"It's late at night, you go back first, all your whereabouts must be hidden, pay attention to safety."

"Subordinates retire!"

……

At noon the next day, after Zhao Dezhao finished lunch, he went to the street with Xiao Guizi, and followed by three big men with a big shape, these three people were the forbidden army masters sent by Li Yu, and they had been following left and right since Zhao Dezhao left the protocol house, not leaving an inch, Zhao Dezhao was hindered by Li Yu's kindness, so he had to let the three of them follow left and right, but the three of them have been on the side, and some hidden things will get in the way.

Qianjin Yixiao Building still stands on the bank of the Qinhuai River, this restaurant opened by Wu Lingqing is now full of guests, and a few days ago Zhou Jiamin also feasted himself here, but since the scene that happened in the Yuanshan Temple the night before, Zhou Jiamin seems to be a little far away from him, and he has become less talkative, Zhao Dezhao has a trace of inexplicable depression in his heart.

Zhao Dezhao continued to stroll along the banks of the Qinhuai River, and when he passed by Huangfu Jixun's mansion at this moment, he saw that the people in the mansion were driving a scholar in a green shirt with a thick wrap in his right arm.

The scholar in the green shirt stumbled and almost leaned back, but at this moment Zhao Dezhao flew up and caught this person in time, the man had a solemn expression and looked at Zhao Dezhao in front of him for a long time.

Where does this person seem to have seen it? After Fan Ruoshui saw this young man, he kept thinking about it.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"Thank you, little brother, for saving me! Shu Qing thanked him. ”

At this moment, the evil servants in front of the emperor's house have been scolding: "Get out, nerd, you actually came to collect debts, and you don't want to see where this is?" ”

"That day, it was Huangfu Shaojie who beat me like this, so I naturally had to come to the door and ask for an explanation."

"You actually call my family by name, you are looking for a beating, someone is coming, give me a beating!" Four or five young men in Tsing Yi hurriedly took fire sticks and poured out of the door.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao said: "Do you still have the king's law, and you actually sent slaves to beat the people without permission, I'm afraid it's indecent to say this, right?" ”

"Who are you? The private affairs of the Huangfu family will not allow you to be an outsider to talk about it. At this time, a deacon supervisor came out of the door, dressed in the clothes of a miscellaneous servant, and pointed at Zhao Dezhao.

"It's just a kind-hearted person who can't see the unevenness of the road."

"Good Samaritan, you better go, the Huangfu family has its own rules of the Huangfu family."

"What a rule, is the rule of the Huangfu family greater than the law of a country?" At this moment, the scholar in green shirt stepped forward and asked.

"My general is the general of the Tang Kingdom, and he has thousands of troops and horses in his hands, isn't it that you are offended by a little scholar?"

The three bodyguards naturally knew that this was the mansion of the great general Huangfu Jixun, so they immediately whispered a few words in Zhao Dezhao's ear, and the little nobleman saw that the three of them didn't know what to say to His Royal Highness, so they also walked to Zhao Dezhao's side, and the size of the three people stood in front of these Tsing Yi guys and deacons, which instantly made the people in the Huangfu Mansion a little nervous, and it seemed that this Tsing Yi scholar had guidance behind him.

It's just that the master behind him is the general of Tang Guo, so naturally he can't be inferior and bullied, and in a snap of his fingers, these little guys in Tsing Yi are not afraid of the few people in front of them, and then other deacons in the house rushed out, all holding fire sticks in their hands, and they have surrounded a total of six people including Zhao Dezhao and Xiao Guizi.

When the three soldiers of the forbidden army who followed saw the situation, they immediately shouted: "This person is the king of Wei Chitose of the Song Kingdom, how dare you do this, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will be blamed when he finds out?" ”

"Joke, just come out and slap your swollen face and pretend to be the prince, isn't the prince so good-looking." The deacon in the house has not finished speaking,

"Brothers, give it to me!" There is a little guy in Tsing Yi who comes out of the stick.

It's really arrogant, relying on the status of the master, Zhao Dezhao wants these people to be in the limelight today, and they are also good at the bad breath the day before yesterday.

The five people on Zhao Dezhao's side had already made a move, and the scholar in the green shirt was standing aside, and he also took advantage of the situation to resist with his left hand.

At the time of a cup of tea, the other party had already fallen to the ground on his back, and his mouth was constantly wailing. "Grandpa, spare your life, we don't dare anymore."

"Is there a next time?" Zhao Dezhao said.

"Quick, go!"

"Don't go, this brother, you haven't given anyone any money yet, at least you have to apologize!" Zhao Dezhao grabbed the placket of the deacon in charge of the house, and then raised his leg to make the man lower his body.

At this moment, Xiao Guizi saw the situation and took out the token of King Wei to show everyone.

"You really are the prince! The prince forgives the sin, the little bottom has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, so he offended the prince, please forgive the sin! The man wailed, and the rest of the watchmen threw away their fiery sticks and stood trembling aside, waiting to be disposed of.

"Apologize quickly, or I will tear your bones apart!"

The man crawled in front of the scholar in the green shirt, and kept kowtowing.

The man kowtowed, and at this moment he was still kneeling in front of the scholar in the green shirt, Zhao Dezhao said again: "If you beat people like this in your family's office, at least give a silver coin, or don't you pay more than ten or twenty yuan?" ”

"Thank you King Wei for saving your life! Forget the money. The scholar in the green shirt bowed and said.

"You're welcome, this slave and dog don't bully people for a day or two, you have to use some means to teach these people a lesson!"

"Quick...... Let someone make some money! ”

After a while, there was already a small servant in the house with a heavy package in his hand to go out, only to see that it was stuffed with a lot of copper coins and iron coins, Zhao Dezhao stretched out his hand and found that the quality of the copper coins minted in the Great Song Dynasty was much lighter, and the quality was not very good, most of them were coins with one as ten and one as five, this is not a bad coin, it seems that the inflation of the Tang Kingdom has also become like this.

On the side, the scholars in green shirts were also grateful.
