Chapter 44: A Visit

Xiao Pick brought a pot of lotus seeds, put a plate in front of them, and several people spontaneously began to peel lotus seeds.

Xiao Yu'an saw this strange picture, poofed and laughed out loud, he hurried to see if anything happened to them after dealing with the end of South Street, and he also wanted to ask why he wanted to hide his identity, he thought a lot on the way here, and thought about it, she didn't seem to deliberately hide it, and then when he saw the prince, he was too shocked, and the thoughts in his heart were diluted, and now when she asked, he found that the initial anger had already disappeared.

"I'm still a little curious about you, the princess, I wonder if the princess can answer?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Legend has it that the princess was born with an eye disease and her vision is unknown?"

"You also said that I heard that in this palace, no one is sick, and she and the prince are compatriots, so they must not be offended." Seventeen lotus seeds grew somehow, and he couldn't find a single opening, so he had to knock it with his teeth, and his speech was a little slurred.

"Then I heard that the princess is tied to the phoenix's life, and it is a matter of dragon qi?"

"Nonsense, the situation at that time, saving your life is important." The lotus seed was round, Xiao Yuanjun suddenly slipped his hand, and the lotus seed fell into the seventeenth plate, so angry that he fished it back from his plate.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess is extremely intelligent and can perceive people's hearts?"

"The Ministry of Rites is made up randomly, and they haven't even seen the princess."

"The ten-year-old horse thief who made a plan to recover the troubled side?"

"Your Majesty spread rumors, she didn't return to Beijing at all that year."

"Twelve-year-old to help the prince quell the riot?"

"Oh, I made it up, and if the official had to give me a celebration banquet, I would put the credit on her." Xiao Yuanjun rushed to answer.

I didn't expect it to be such a conversation.

The more he asked, the more Xiao Yu'an was empty-hearted, he was breaking his illusion with his own hands, the literati of Yan Kingdom were full of admiration for the hidden and mysterious princess, he imagined that this princess would be a legendary life in the future, and he never thought about it。。。。。。

With the last bit of hope, he cautiously spoke, "Then, the seven-year-old has already shown his attainments in the art of war, and the master asserts that he will become a great talent?" There was a tremor in his voice that he couldn't even notice.

"That's, that's true, it's true."

Yiren spoke weakly, these two sang and cleaned her old bottom, does she still want to save face?

Brother is it, these seventeen are also very clear about her affairs, what's going on?

Seventeen actually doesn't know, he collected the big and small rumors of the princess from birth when he returned to Beijing, and figured it out by himself, a hidden princess, naturally with the mandate of heaven, not to be casual with others.

When Xiao Yu'an heard the answer, his first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yuanjun raised his head to peel lotus seeds seriously and glanced at her, but he didn't break it

She has a high attainment in the art of war, when she was a child, the teacher taught her to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music, she went back to use her own learned Sun Tzu's art of war to play the master's group turn, today an empty city plan, tomorrow a discordant plan, the master is an arrogant, since I went back to ponder, an old man and a small day are staging a big war, so after fighting, the knowledge of the art of war has indeed improved a lot, but the master is old, not so much energy, I have to admit that she has a military genius, which coaxed her to start to study quietly.

She is also very interested in all kinds of military books, and in her spare time, she almost soaks in the art of war.

Before you know it, the clouds are starting to turn white.

Xiao picked in, and saw that they were all silently peeling lotus seeds, the atmosphere was weird and beautiful, and the hairs stood on end, "Girl, Lord Hubu Langzhong Shan Ce asks to see." ”

"It's finally here." They waited here for most of the night, but they just waited for him to come, otherwise who sat here in the middle of the night and nagged and peeled lotus seeds, last night was enough to bother.

"Brother, can I ask you to go and hide in the room, Shan Ce has seen you, I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble."

Although he is the crown prince, everything is not easy to be involved, and once he is crowned with the hat of fighting for power, it will be a bloody storm.

Xiao Yuanjun nodded and brought his lotus plate in.

As soon as Shan Ce came in, he saw the three of them sitting strangely together peeling lotus seeds, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and the three of them were taken aback by his move, Xiao Yu'an was close to him, and he was busy helping people up, and he didn't follow the single strategy, and his voice was choked: "Ask the prince to preside over justice, even if you are broken, Shan will not hesitate!"

"What did Master Shan say? Get up, get up and speak! ”

Shan Ce was helped up and sat down tremblingly, he came today with the determination to die, success and death, defeat and death.

Last night, there was a fire in Beggar's Lane on South Street, and the news of the princess's assassination came again, so I felt that things were not simple, and I remembered Xiao Shizi's words that day, and remembered that the girl was a young man without a study, and the other man didn't look simple.

He thought about it all night, and when the moon receded, he arranged the things in the house, dragged out the three coffins, and placed them in the courtyard, two large and one small, and prepared everything properly, and took advantage of the chaos to come to the Wushu House, where the people who supervised him read about the affairs of South Street and had no time to take care of him.

Yiren looked at the old man in front of him, dressed plainly, in fact, he had not yet reached the age of white hair, but he was too bitter by life.

"How do you want us to do justice for you?"

"It's not for me, it's for Dayan, the officials in Kyoto are corrupt, the people pay heavy taxes, and they are miserable, I have here the account books of the household department that have been corrupted over the years, and since I was appointed as the head of the household department, without exception, all of them have been recorded."

"Didn't you burn the ledger?"

Speaking of this, Shan Ce was so excited that he cried, "I have been an official for twenty years, twenty years!" It took them half of my life to settle these dirty accounts, how did it take to calculate the years? I silently talked about their crimes in each of my rooms, and I looked forward to the day when I could write him out, say it, and present it to the one in the palace, so that he could take a good look at what this big swallow had become of rotting! ”

These words are a bit heavy, Shan Ce doesn't know, but Seventeen and Xiao Yu'an know that the prince and princess of Yan Kingdom are listening to him now.

Yiren didn't react, as if she already knew about these dirty things, or rather, she had seen something even dirtier than this, "What kind of determination did that Lord Shan come to the study house today, just because of the accident last night that made you change your mind?" ”

At this time, she has become the shrewd scholar again.

Shan Ce is no longer the hairy boy who came out of the calf at the beginning, and the wind and frost over the years have already smoothed out his edges and corners, but fortunately he still has some faith.

This time, he came with no expectations except for the determination to die. The water in Kyoto is too deep, and it's good to be able to find relief, but he's just here to gamble.

"I've been an official for half my life, but unfortunately I haven't seen how good it is, so I want to be a good son in the rest of my life, so that my mother can enjoy happiness, and I don't want to live like this anymore." The more he spoke, the more flat he became, and there was no ripple in his tone, "Since I started to help them settle accounts, they arrested my mother, I have a good name as a household servant, and the official rank is not small, but it is also an ant under their feet, I also have a godson, who was also arrested by them, and recently I heard that my mother is seriously ill and is about to die." I have been an official in my life and have not married a wife and had children, but I didn't want to burden other girls, but I didn't expect that it would be bad to even have a son. ”

"I'll keep the ledger out and I can't do anything for the rest. I hope that the prince will see the situation of this ledger and bury our family of three together, I have prepared the coffin, and I have dug the pit, you can send someone to throw us in, if this ledger is useless, please don't let it fall into the hands of others. ”

What a humble and pious request, and how much despair it must go through to say such a thing, to abandon this world.
