Chapter 71: The Corpse Wraps

Previous Chapter

Cheng Xin muttered: "I want to find a painter when I go back, and paint the little grandfather like this, and hang it in the store in the future as a treasure of the town store." ”

If it were modern, just take a photo, and it wouldn't have to be so troublesome.

"Have you seen enough?" Qin Shu was stared at a little unnaturally by Cheng Xin's straight eyes.

Cheng Xin came back to his senses: "Well, then let's go." Don't delay business here. ”

"Cheng Xin, wait a minute." Chu Xiaohan called out to her.

"What's wrong?"

But it turned out that Cheng Xin did not let Shopkeeper Sun hide the origin of the sachet, so soon Chu Xiaohan knew that this was a girl who put it here to consign, but he couldn't know the identity of the girl.

"I wonder if you can recommend one or two?"

In his embarrassment for Sun's shopkeeper, Chu Xiaohan felt that it was better to ask Cheng Xin directly.

Cheng Xin raised his eyebrows and teased: "What, Second Brother Chu is interested in other girls?" ”

In fact, Cheng Xin is not surprised.

Although she still doesn't know whether the second prince is the male protagonist in the book, the fate between him and Wen Yunxian seems to be not shallow at all.

Even if others like sachets, they just want to buy more.

And he could think of meeting her.

"Haha, Cheng Xin, don't get me wrong. It's my mother... Mother, she has been a little difficult to sleep at night recently, she can't smell the soothing incense with the doctor, I see that this girl's sachet is unique, I want to ask if I can make some good smelling spices for my mother, to help her sleep. ”

"Second Brother Chu is really filial. I can't make decisions about this for her, but I can ask Shopkeeper Sun to ask for you. Cheng Xin said.

"Thank you, then I'll wait for the good news from Shopkeeper Sun."

A few people stood in the store for a while, and the door of the shop was blocked.

"Let's go." Cheng Xin pretended to pay the money and walked out.

didn't want the three of them to come to the door of the store as soon as there was an exclamation outside.

"It's the little grandfather of An Guo!"

"Wow, that's Gongzi Chu!"

This can be described as a stone stirring up a thousand waves, one sound and one high. People are constantly coming from afar and rushing towards the store.

Cheng Xin secretly said that it was not good, and just as he was about to turn back, his wrist was tight.

"Go back and over."

Qin Shula turned around and retreated in the direction of the backyard.

Chu Xiaohan took a step slower, and was surrounded by a group of girls, but it was the secret guard in the crowd who stepped forward and rushed out of the encirclement with Chu Xiaohan with difficulty.

……

Qin Shu took Cheng Xin to detour from the back door into the South Pavilion Fan Workshop, and came to the wing room on the third floor, which was not open to the public.

"Let's rest here first, and when there are fewer people outside, we'll go back to the house."

"Okay." Cheng Xin breathed a sigh of relief, her shoes were about to fall off.

"That's right, Second Brother Chu!" In that battle, the second prince shouldn't be 'eaten alive', right?

Qin Shu sent someone to pick Chu Xiaohan over, but he didn't want him to shake his head as soon as he entered the door: "You two, you are really righteous enough." At a critical time, leave me, the second prince, and run away, and only the two of you can do it in the whole world. ”

"I was taken away." Cheng Xin smiled and waved his hand, and threw the pot to the little grandfather.

"Alright. Fortunately, it came out. Chu Xiaohan said as he straightened out the wrinkled clothes that had been squeezed.

At this moment, there was a loud shout from the street.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way. ”

Cheng Xin walked quickly to the window and looked down, and saw a team of Praetorian Guards rushing over.

"No, that's the Praetorian Guard?"

She thought that there were too many people surrounding the shopkeepers, which affected the order of the market, but later found out that this was not the case.

The crowd dispersed on both sides, and the Praetorian Guards hurried through the crowd and ran in the direction of the city gates.

The market where Zhenghong Street is located is in the southwest of the capital, the closest to the West City Gate. Looking out of the window of the South Pavilion Fan Fang, the straight end of the market is the West City Gate.

"Something seems to have happened there." Cheng Xin said.

Chu Xiaohan immediately sent someone to investigate.

Cheng Xin saw that there were many people blocking the city gate, and he didn't know what he was shouting.

Qingcha and Mei Ran solved Chen San's matter and came to the wing.

"It seems to be the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qingcha said in another window.

Cheng Xin changed the window to check at the moment.

Sure enough, less than ten meters away from the West City Gate, there was a carriage parked, and the sign of the Prime Minister's Mansion on it was particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a maid poked out.

At this distance, Cheng Xin couldn't see the girl's appearance clearly.

There is a maid in the carriage, and she is undoubtedly the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, the crown princess Wen Huiyi will definitely not appear in this kind of place, Wen Yunxian rarely goes out, and even if she goes out, she does not have such treatment.

So Cheng Xin deduced that it was either Wen Huimin or the prime minister's wife in the carriage.

While she was thinking, someone outside came back to report.

"Second Highness, a group of refugees appeared outside the West City Gate, and they were clamoring to enter the city. The gate guards didn't let them in, but for some reason the refugees made a mess. Now the Praetorian Guards are rushing over to intercept it. ”

"Refugees, where did the refugees come from?" Chu Xiaohan asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness, I claim to be from Longnan."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaohan turned his head and glanced at Qin Shu, seeing that Qin Shu's expression was not surprised, he said, "It seems that Fusang, you already knew?" ”

Qin Shu did not hide it, nor did he care about Cheng Xin's presence.

"The matter of Longnan has been incidental, you should now think about how to deal with it next."

"You're right." Chu Xiaohan knew that this matter was urgent, and immediately said goodbye: "I'll go back to the palace." You don't have to go out at will during this time. If this matter is big and involved, it will be very trivial. ”

Qin Shu nodded.

After Chu Xiaohan left in a hurry, Cheng Xin asked, "Longnan, what happened?" ”

Qin Shu glanced at Qingcha.

Qingcha agreed, took Mei Ran out of the wing room together, and closed the door.

There were only two people left in the room, Cheng Xin and Qin Shu.

Qin Shu said: "Longnan is the boundary that the emperor sent the prince to govern a few years ago. It is less than 1,000 miles away from Shudi, rich in wheat, and the people can live a self-sufficient life. After the prince's people settled in Longnan, they ordered all the local wheat to be uprooted, and the silkworms were raised instead, and the silkworm seeds were sold to the people at a high price. ”

Sericulture?

Cheng Xin said: "Could it be that you want to make Shu brocade?" ”

Qin Shu nodded: "Not bad." Shu brocade has been sold at a very high price in the capital over the years. It's just that the production process is complicated and cannot be supplied in large quantities.

The prince's party was eager for quick success and profit, and disregarded the local climate. As a result, the sericulture failed, and the people were overwhelmed and went to the yamen to make trouble. The people of the yamen did not dare to act, and sent troops to suppress it, killing many people. ”

"The corpse is wrapped in plain clothes, and he is a parent official in vain." Cheng Xin was annoyed, whether it was modern or ancient, whenever he heard these things, he felt cold all over his body, which made people hateful.

Qin Shu looked at the imperial city in the distance, his expression was obscure.

"And then?" Cheng Xin asked.
