Following.

Yu Lie looked at his master's body and his own body, and was a little confused.

Both of them were dressed in coarse linen clothes, and all the valuables worn by Yun Rongjue were taken off, and even the hair was pretended to be messy.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do?" Yu Lie looked at Yun Rongjue and asked.

"Yesterday, we visited Luozhou City, and what we heard was not enough to believe, if you want to really know what the people of Luozhou think of the Luozhou magistrates, the words of those people in the poor kiln are more credible."

Yu Lie was surprised, but had some scruples, "Your Highness, if you really want to ask, it's good to go alone, this coarse linen clothes, and those places, you better not go." ”

"Now that I've come to Luozhou, I don't have so many scruples, let's go."

The poor kiln alleys of Luozhou City are all inhabited by poor people, some of them have a tile and a house, and there are many of them, so they can only hide under the eaves and shelter from the wind and rain with the half of the green tiles.

Yun Rongjue and Yu Lie were dressed in coarse linen clothes, and their faces were deliberately smeared with some dust, looking no different from these poor people.

Walking all the way, Yun Rongjue watched, and his eyebrows never stretched.

"Eh, you two ......"

An aunt called them and looked the two of them up and down, "You two don't look like they're from Luozhou." ”

Yu Lie took over, "Yes, we are not from Luozhou, we are from Wei County, and our family suffered a catastrophe, so we came all the way to Luozhou, thinking that everyone praises Luozhou and see if we can live better here." ”

The aunt shook her head and waved her hand, "What's good, if this Luozhou is good, this sun can hit the west and come out." ”

Yun Rongjue glanced at him calmly, and asked in a voice: "Auntie, I have heard that Luozhou is good in my hometown, and the local parents and officials are also honest and think about the people, why are you here, Luozhou is not good?" Can you tell us about it? ”

The aunt sat on the stone steps, "You outsiders just don't know the situation, this Luozhou, it just looks good, in fact," the aunt shook her head, "Look at how many people we have who can't eat in this poor kiln alley." ”

"This poor person is found in all states and counties, let's not talk about it, let's talk about our parents and officials, this Luozhou city is surnamed He."

"What's the last name? We have heard that Luozhou Taishou is surnamed He, and I heard that he is an excellent parent official, fair and honest. Yun Rongjue said.

"Ahh Pressure on the good people, corruption and bribery, but do it all! ”

The aunt has a straightforward temperament, and Xu is angry with a lot of the He family, and she can't stop talking about the He family.

"I advise you, let's hurry up, in this Luozhou, it is impossible for the poor to be treated well, this is not a blessed land." Auntie said.

"We see, thank you, Auntie." Yun Rongjue and Yu Lie stood up.

After the two separated from the aunt, they asked other people in the alley, and their attitudes towards the He family were no different from the aunt.

"The people here are completely different from those people outside, obviously, this is knowing that the court is coming, and they cleared the scene outside." Yun Rongjue said.

Yu Lie bowed, "This He family is inevitably too domineering, oppressing the local people, and even swallowing the silver and grain allocated by the imperial court, it is simply too hateful!" ”

Yun Rongjue smiled faintly, "The emperor is far away, there are many such things in various states and counties, this Luozhou has done too much, and the poisonous pus flowed out, so it was known by my father." ”

The two quietly returned to the inn, washed and changed their shabby clothes.

"Your Highness, then why are you going to find He Chong and them?" Yu Lie asked.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the shopkeeper came in through the crack in the door, "Childe, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Yun Rongjue's sword eyebrows raised, and Jun had a light smile on his face, "We don't need to look for it, people are here by themselves." ”

Yu Lie opened the door, "Someone is looking for it." ”

The shopkeeper made a way, only to see a slightly chubby man in a satin suit walking over, followed by two subordinates.

"Luozhou Taishou He Chong, see His Royal Highness King Lin'an!" He Chong knelt on one knee.

"He Taishou doesn't have to be polite, please get up."

He Chong got up, with a flattering smile on his face, "He Chong is late, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." ”

Yun Rongjue chuckled, "Eh, it's not too late, it's not too late, we just arrived, and He Taishou came, why is it still too late." ”

He Chong nodded in agreement, and said hurriedly: "This inn is shabby, please also ask Your Highness to move elsewhere." ”

Yun Rongjue didn't shirk much, and the two followed He Chong to the place where they lived.

It's a much better place than an inn, but it's not too extravagant.

"Your Royal Highness, our Luozhou abides by the style of frugality, so most of this residence is fresh and elegant, and there is no too extravagant and prosperous residence, I hope Your Highness will forgive me." He Chong said with a huff.

"This place is elegant, very good, and He Taishou is right, it is too extravagant, it is not good." Yun Rongjue said.

"Yes, Your Highness, your Highness should rest well today, and the rest of the things will be reported to Your Highness tomorrow when Your Highness is rested." He Chong said.

Yun Rongjue shook his head and did not refute He Chong's decision.

"Your Highness, the lower officials still have official business to do, and they will retire first, and the people who are waiting here will be sent by His Highness at will." He Chong said.

After Yun Rongjue nodded, He Chong retreated.

After leaving the residence, the smile on He Chong's face suddenly disappeared like the wind.

"My lord, what are we going to do now? The emperor sent His Royal Highness King Lin'an this time, we are only afraid of ......" The master beside He Chong looked worried.

"Don't mess with yourself," He Chong Zhengse, "This His Royal Highness King Lin'an is a human or a ghost, we haven't found out yet, if he is a human, let's find a way to turn him into a ghost." ”

"But he's a prince, I'm just afraid of difficulties......"

He Chong sneered, "What about the prince, how can anyone in this world not be moved by fame and fortune, even the noble prince is no exception, let's give him enough benefits." ”

Master nodded, "I hope this is an easy one to deal with." ”

The two of them left the residence, and as soon as they stepped out, their subordinates hurried over and handed He Chong a note, "My lord, it's from above." ”

He Chong was surprised, opened the note, and read it carefully.

"My lord, this ......," the master was surprised when he saw it.

He Chong pinched the note in his palm, and after a while, he said: "After talking back, Master Ben knows what to do." ”

"Yes."

He Chong glanced at his master and said with a smile: "We have noble people to help us." ”

————

In the palace, Jiang Wu was counting the days, Yun Rongjue had been away for more than half a month, she looked at the warmer weather outside, and couldn't help muttering: "It's already early February." ”

Nanfu looked out, nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's already February, and in more than half a month, it will be March, March, spring, it's the season of spring." ”

"Spring flowers are blooming...... just listening, it seems that I can feel the breath of that spring day, I don't know if His Royal Highness has returned at that time.

Nan Fu looked at Jiang Wu's superimposed appearance, and joked with a smile: "Xiao Wu, are you looking forward to His Highness coming back?" ”

Jiang Wu didn't deny it, "Your Highness has been gone for more than half a month. ”

"This Luozhou is not close to our Chang'an, and it is not far away, I'm afraid it's not so fast." Nanfu said.

Jiang Wufan's lips were slightly flattened and he nodded.

Seeing the worry on her face, Nanfu turned away from the conversation, "Xiao Wu, do you remember the laughing female voice you heard from Huayan Pavilion when we were in Huanyi a few days ago?" ”

The two walked on the long corridor, Jiang Wu nodded, "Well, remember, what's wrong?" ”

Nan Fu's eyes looked around, and then she lowered her voice and said to Jiang Wu: "Later, I heard that the woman of that day was from Nanjiang like Xiao Wu. ”

Jiang Wu was slightly stunned, "Nanjiang ......"

Nanfu nodded, "Yes, it was also spread later, that woman was recruited as a concubine by His Second Highness." ”

Jiang Wu's surprise was only fleeting.

and she is generally from Nan Jiang, and her identity is naturally a slave, and the slave has become a master, although it is embarrassing to discuss, but such a thing is not nothing, it all depends on the master's mood.

"Now this Lingxiao Palace has a lot of discussion about this matter, although it is common for the master to look at the upper and lower people, but the Second Highness directly skips the official woman for this woman and accepts her as a concubine."

Not to mention this overstepping, and the woman was still a prisoner.

Jiang Wu flattened his lips and chuckled, "The Second Highness is the master, he likes it, let's not say anything as subordinates." ”

"Yes, I know, I just think it's incredible, I'm curious, what that woman looks like."

The two of them talked while walking, and suddenly, a palace maid ran past them in a hurry, and the palace maid ran in a hurry, directly hitting Jiang Wu and almost falling her.

"Eh, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Nanfu held Jiang Wu.

"I'm sorry, I've got something I need to do."

The palace maid hurriedly apologized and hurried away.

"Eh, that's ......"

"Forget it, it's okay, let's go." Jiang Wu comforted Nanfu and straightened out her messy clothes.

Before the two of them could take a step, suddenly, a voice came from behind them.

"Eh, you two wait a minute."

Jiang Wu and Nanfu subconsciously paused, turned around, and saw a palace man in pink clothes walking in front of them, looking arrogant, "You two, have you seen a jade bracelet?" ”

This palace was full of people, Jiang Wu and Nanfu shook their heads, "I didn't see it." ”

"I really didn't see it." Nanfu said.

The palace man sighed and waved his hand at them a little impatiently, "Go, go." ”

"Is this new? I don't think I've seen it before, why are you so arrogant. Nanfu whispered to Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu shrugged, "Let's go." ”

"Wait a minute!"

"Jiang Niang."

"What, the jade bracelet hasn't been found yet?"

"Back to the lady, no."

"None? These two palace people, I just saw them sneaking around here, and this bracelet happened to be lost near here, I'm afraid it wasn't picked up by someone with a heart. ”

These words allude to Jiang Wu and Nanfu taking the bracelet.

Jiang Wu and Nanfu raised their heads, and Nanfu hurriedly explained, "We really didn't see any bracelets. ”

The moment he looked up and saw the person in front of him, Jiang Wu was stunned.

His calm eyes suddenly swelled up with deep surprise and shock.

The woman in front of her, wearing a red satin dress and delicate makeup on her face, turned out to be ......

Jiang Qiao......

Her half-sister.

Jiang Qiao was not surprised to see Jiang Wu, seeing Jiang Wu's shocked appearance, her red lips curled, and the corners of her eyes rose slightly, "Yo, it's you." ”

Nanfu listened to the woman's words and looked at Jiang Wu beside her, "Xiao Wu, do you know?" ”

"Bold, this is our Jiang Niangzi of Huayan Pavilion, you haven't seen Jiang Niangzi yet!" The palace people around Jiang Qiao scolded the two.

There are a lot of concubines in Huayan Pavilion, but there has never been a lady surnamed Jiang before, and now this one is the one who has recently been recruited by Yunzhao, Nanfu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called: "Jiang Niangzi." ”

Jiang Wu pursed her lips tightly and looked at Jiang Qiao with a proud face, "Jiang Niang." She bowed slightly.

Looking at Jiang Wu's bowed head and lowered her ears, the smile on Jiang Qiao's face was even deeper, she slowly walked in front of Jiang Wu and raised her thin white wrist, "I just lost a jade bracelet, this bracelet was given to me by His Royal Highness, it is very precious." ”

Jiang Wu lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes drooped, and said softly: "I have never seen a lady's bracelet, if the lady wants to find the bracelet, I will help the lady find it." ”

"You don't have to help me find it, just now when I came here, and saw you sneaky here, this bracelet is precious, I'm afraid it will fall into your pocket."

Jiang Wuxiu's eyebrows furrowed, she raised her head, looked at Jiang Qiao, and subconsciously retorted, "I didn't!" ”

"Bold! In front of the lady, she doesn't call herself a slave! The palace maid scolded.

Jiang Qiao's blue arm was raised, "What kind of slave is not a slave, she should call herself a slave." ”

Jiang Wu breathed heavily and said slowly: "The slave has no ......"

Jiang Qiao smiled with satisfaction, "You said no, but it doesn't mean that there isn't, come, search their clothes pockets for me to see if there are any bracelets from me." ”

"Yes."

"What are you doing! Can't be searched! ”

Nanfu and Jiang Wu resisted in the face of the palace people who were about to search them.

"I didn't take the lady's bracelet! How can a lady act recklessly before things are clear! Jiang Wu shouted.

"Reckless? If you dare to talk to me like this, I will search you today, and if you do the right thing, what are you afraid of? You guys give me a good search! ”

Several people were in a mess in an instant.

There are occasional palace people passing by in the corridor, but looking at this scene, no one dares to do much.

Although Jiang Qiao is not the master of a noble status, she is the person next to Yun Zhao, and she is a concubine and a concubine, and they are slaves and maids, but they dare not come with her.

"Yo, what are you doing, it's so lively."

Just when a few people were in a mess, another loud voice rushed over.

Yun Songzhen looked at Jiang Wu with puzzled eyebrows, Jiang Qiao saw Yun Songzhen and hurriedly saluted her, "The concubine has seen the eldest princess, please be safe with the eldest princess." ”

"Get up," Yun Songzhen looked at Jiang Qiao, "Which palace are you from?" ”

"Back to the eldest princess, the concubine is from the palace of His Royal Highness." Jiang Qiao said.

Yun Songzhen blinked, "...... in the second brother's palace"

Yun Songzhen knows the preferences of her second brother, and she likes women very much, and she has also taken pictures of the famous Yingying Yanyan in his palace, and this ......

I haven't seen it.

I think it was rumored recently, and the second brother was newly accepted.

"If Princess Ben remembers correctly, your surname is Jiang?"

Jiang Qiao smiled, "The princess has a good memory, and the concubine is Jiang." ”

Yun Songzhen's eyes were full of meaning, and she looked at Jiang Wu, "What are you doing with this trouble?" ”

Jiang Qiao said: "Back to the eldest princess, the concubine came with His Royal Highness the second, near here, the concubine accidentally lost the jade bracelet given to the concubine by the second highness, so she ordered someone to find it, and happened to see this slave sneaking around here, and the concubine suspected that she took the concubine's bracelet. ”

"This bracelet was given to the concubine by His Royal Highness II, it is very precious, and if I lose it, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will blame it, and it will also live up to His Highness's kindness in giving the concubine bracelet."

Yun Songzhen raised her eyebrows, "So this is a body search?" ”

"Yes, the concubine knows it's not good, but ......"

"Nothing bad!" Yun Songzhen stood up, "Since you have reasonable suspicions, a body search is the easiest and most direct way. ”

Jiang Qiao was surprised for a moment, she didn't expect Yun Songzhen to stand on her side so simply.

She glanced at Jiang Wu, who was slightly embarrassed on the side, a little more proud.

With Yun Songzhen, the lord of noble status, on her side, she is still afraid that she will not be able to cure Jiang Wu?!

"Did you hear that?! Give me a good search! Jiang Qiao shouted to the palace people.

"No ...... search"

The two or three palace people all went towards Jiang Wu, and they reached out to pick up Jiang Wu's clothes. Jiang Wu resisted desperately, but one person couldn't resist three people!

Nanfu was in a hurry on the side, and stepped forward to pull those palace people.

"Bang ......"

"Ahh

"Xiao Nan!"

Nanfu was lifted up by the palace people and kicked out!

Jiang Wu's shirt was ripped off and slammed......

"Stop!" Yun Songzhen's gaze fell on the thing that fell to the ground, then stood up and walked over.

"Emerald bracelet!" Jiang Qiao was pleasantly surprised, "Eldest princess, look, this is the bracelet that His Royal Highness gave to the concubine when the concubine lost it!" Sure enough, it was taken away by this greedy thing! ”

Jiang Wu and Nanfu looked at the bracelet that fell out, their eyes widened, how could this bracelet be here for her?

"Sure enough, it's a dirty thing, stealing in the palace, but it's a big crime." Yun Songzhen moved her lips and said.

"I didn't steal the bracelet!" Jiang Wu pleaded in a deep voice.

"Not you? Everything is here, do you still want to quibble? Eldest Princess, this bracelet is the heart of Her Royal Highness, but it was trampled by her humble body. Jiang Qiao pretended to be aggrieved and said.

Yun Songzhen looked at Jiang Qiao's aggrieved appearance and smiled lightly.

This ginger lady is not a fuel-efficient one.

"This thing is precious, it is Jiang Niangzi's thing, she is the thief, and let Jiang Niangzi decide to deal with it." Yun Songzhen said.

When Jiang Qiao heard this, a look of pride appeared on his face, he glared at Jiang Wu coldly, and slowly said: "Da Liang has the laws and regulations of Da Liang, and if you steal in the palace, you should be punished by cutting off your hand according to the laws of Da Liang." ”

Nanfu's breathing suddenly became heavy when she heard this, and she looked at Jiang Wu in horror.

The Punishment of Severed Hands......

That's going to cut off your hand!
