Chapter 103: Trickery

The next day, on a sunny day, Hongling unusually lay on the bed, and the two maids in the small courtyard looked at Chen Jinye who was sitting alone in the hall with a straight face with some apprehension.

Today's Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different from the past, perhaps because Bai Gongzi was injured, and the red girl did not get up, his face has never seen a trace of melting, that cold face, that indifferent and cold expression, like the prince of Jinsong......

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you still use today's breakfast?"

Chen Jinye suddenly looked up, only to see that the two maids seemed to be a little trembling, but he didn't bother to think deeply about the reason, and looked down at the carefully prepared pastries on the table, pumpkin pie decorated with red beans, mugwort cake with mung bean filling, and porridge made of black rice.

After coming back from Liu Linger's room yesterday, I couldn't fall asleep over and over again, and I don't know if it was disturbed by the rolling thunder outside, in short, I just couldn't sleep, until the thunder was quiet, the rain stopped, and the day dawned, and the boredom in my heart still lingered.

At dawn, Chen Jinye came out of the room and sat in the hall all the time, and even the two maids arrived after him, so the maids thought that the prince was so grim-faced because they came late.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, and we will come to the courtyard one hour earlier tomorrow to wait."

Chen Jinye, who had been silently speaking, saw the two maids kneeling coldly, and there were still words on their lips, so he simply waved his hand and said, "No need, go down and cook medicine for Bai Ju, and wait for him to drink it after it is cooked, you can retreat."

When the two maidservants heard Chen Jinye's cold voice, they were slightly stunned, and then bowed down obediently.

——

Chen Jinye is not the only one who has not slept all night, Chen Jinsong has not closed his eyes all night, and now Chen Jinsong is sitting in the study wearing a bright clothes after taking a bath, the expression on his face is very kind, but no one dares to step forward and ask him: "Do you want to take away the body of the guard."

You must know that the guards are the old men beside the prince, and almost all the big and small affairs in this mansion are handled by the guards single-handedly, and the prince's attitude towards the guards is obvious to everyone.

A few years ago, when the prince first entered the palace, he told everyone that this guard was the brother of the prince who was born and died, and if he was disrespectful to the guard, he was disrespectful to the prince, so no one dared to disrespect the guards inside and outside the palace.

Chen Jinsong very calmly mentioned a word on the bookcase: "There is no further period, mourning and looking forward to the pine and cypress", he was satisfied with the strong and powerful big characters on the table, held it for a long time, looked at it for a long time, laughed for a long time, and was silent for a long time, no one knew what happened to him, and the little maids and maids did not dare to speculate.

Everyone hung their heads, standing inside and outside Chen Jinsong's study without a little anger, and even their breathing was extra careful, they were afraid that they would end up with the guards because of their momentary curiosity.

Chen Jinsong slowly stood up from the bookcase, folded the word in his hand a few times, and then walked towards the guard's corpse step by step, at this time the guard's eyes were still full of shock and stared in the direction of the window, Chen Jinsong stared at his expression for a long time, and then chuckled, and slowly bent his knees and squatted in front of the guard's corpse.

Chen Jinsong slowly raised his hand to cover the guard's eyes, his hand trembled slightly and swiped down, finally, the guard closed his eyes peacefully, Chen Jinsong seemed to be relieved, and then slowly stuffed the paper in his hand into the placket of the guard's chest, and then slowly stood up and ordered: "Burial of the guard!" ”。

The servant of the presiding officer outside the door hurriedly knelt down and received the order: "Obey!" ”。

The servants neatly moved the guard's body out of Chen Jinsong's study, and the maidservants neatly cleaned up the study, but the corners of Chen Jinsong's mouth quietly hooked up half a point.

——

Today is an exceptionally sunny day, early in the morning, Lao Song gathered the people together to eat a clear porridge, the enthusiasm of the people to work is particularly high, and they don't realize that there is a strange face mixed between them.

"We'll have breakfast and we'll get going!"

Under the encouragement of Lao Song, the people riveted their hands vigorously, and the rope was tied to the huge dam stone, and everyone worked together to exert force in one place.

"One, two! One, two! ”

Under the rhythm, all the people tried their best to get to one place, and soon moved the dam stone for half a minute, and the broken dam stone was a big difference from the normal position, coupled with the continuous impact of the river against the current, it did not take long for the people to be exhausted.

I don't know who started in the queue to weaken first, and the rope that connected everyone became extremely heavy, so that the strength of the big guys began to compete with their own people, and the dam stone never moved half a minute.

The people who were already exhausted were dragged by this life-saving chain, and they had no strength, and Lao Song saw that the people didn't do it for a while, so they stared at the big eyes one by one and blushed, and stopped again and again.

"On the first day of today, maybe everyone's physical strength is still a little unable to keep up, so it's better to go ashore and rest for a while."

Hearing Lao Song's words, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Rao didn't even have the strength to respond, so they crossed the river and came to the shore.

While everyone was resting, a man with an ordinary appearance and a thin man, mixed in with the largest number of people, sighed and whispered, "This is too tired."

Everyone nodded in agreement with empathy, the big guys were embarrassed to complain, and when they heard someone raise their heads, they agreed with this person in their hearts, and the man didn't say anything more, but the sigh was particularly into the ears of the people, and soon, this sigh was contagious.

After resting for a while, Lao Song ordered everyone to return to the river to drag the dam stone, and everyone recovered a little bit of energy, and then went to the river with high morale, but this time, everyone had not moved the dam stone, and ushered in a new round of weakness.

Old Song felt a little irritable in his heart, but he still let everyone go to the shore to rest, this time, the man was lying in the middle of the crowd, muttering: "It's better to bask in the sun all day in the city."

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but recall the days when they were free to lie down in the city without moving, and now the city is different from the past, there are fish in the wells in the city, and they don't need to starve, but they have come here.

Immediately afterwards, there were more and more silent lamentations among the people, more and more frequent, and people's fighting spirit was weakened to varying degrees.

This time the result was the same as the second, and then the people returned to the shore, and the man complained, consciously or unconsciously, and the degree of complaint deepened than the previous one, because the man said all the things that the people wanted to express but were embarrassed to express, so that before they knew it, everyone was very impressed and convinced of him.

After resting again and again, the man muttered and complained too much, and the people had a better opinion of him, so that when it was time for lunch, most of the people knew the man, and not only that, but one or two of the people were very happy to talk to him in private.

When the time for lunch came, Lao Song's heart was on fire, so he was a little cold to the people, but the speaker had no intention of listening, and there was such a person who kept fanning the flames in the crowd, and the people gradually became dissatisfied with Lao Song.

The man came to the old man who liked to chat with him very much, but his eyes looked around with dripping eyes, and the old man saw him so mysterious, so he asked curiously: "Little brother, what are you looking at?" ”。

As if he had accidentally seen through, the man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, it's okay."

"Hi little brother, we've all lived in Xicheng together for so long, what can't we say"

After listening to the old man's words, I saw the man sigh with a tangled face, and said, "Uncle, don't ask."

As soon as the man's words came out, the old man's curiosity was aroused, so he also looked around carefully, and then lowered his voice and said, "Little brother, just talk to the old man, you still can't believe me."

After listening to the old man's words, the man was entangled for a long time, and then said cautiously in a calm voice: "Uncle, you don't know, I am an old acquaintance with the person who fights in the city, and when the prince took us out of Xicheng that day, he asked me to be careful."

The old man was taken aback, "Be careful of what?" ”。

I saw that the man wanted to speak and stopped, and then waved his hand regretfully, "Forget it, when I didn't say this", and after that, the man turned around and went somewhere else.

The old man grabbed him quickly, "Little brother, you can finish it, otherwise I will be in my heart."

"Alas, I said, you haven't seen the letter either, so forget it"

The old man was hung up and almost said to the man: "I believe you, I must believe you!" Our relationship, can I not believe you! ”。

"Okay", as if compromised, the man sat back beside the old man, and said cautiously and mysteriously: "That person said that the thief who attacked the people the night before yesterday was the ...... recruited by the prince."

When the old man heard this, he quickly covered his mouth in astonishment, and when the man saw him like this, he sighed and said, "I knew you wouldn't believe it, forget it, when I didn't say it."

"No, no...", the old man hurriedly took the man's hand and continued to ask, "Why did that man say that?" ”。

"Alas, uncle, look, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night when the thieves entered the city that day, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know so much about the things in the city, and when the red scarf leader died that day, do you remember, she respectfully called the prince 'Childe'!"
