Chinese went around the market, this time lucky, someone set up a stall, even if there is a market, but what is sold is cold oil soaked yellow silk ants, fried tadpoles, dried mice.

Fuck it.

Chinese turned around and walked back angrily with the basket.

If there is nothing to buy, His Highness may starve to death before he goes crazy!

Today, even if it's a dead admonition, you have to force him to eat something! Eat sauce every day and want to become a zombie!

Halfway through, he met Yan Sui, and Chinese looked at Yan Sui in surprise, he rarely went out of the flower field.

Yan Sui only said: "There are mice, it's annoying to watch." ”

I don't understand Chinese, I thought that there were mice in the flower field, and there were indeed many local mice, but why did the mice only look at and not bite, and I thought that the mice in the flower field were more elegant.

Since His Highness rarely walked in the red dust, he warmly invited His Highness to take a walk, maybe a few more steps, and he also had an appetite.

But then he regretted it, after all, the streets with sewage overflowing, the food stalls with mosquitoes flying around, the naked crowds, and the river beaches covered with filth only lowered people's appetite by a few levels.

Just as they were about to pull His Highness back, the two suddenly heard a distant bell.

Yan Sui subconsciously turned his head - with his ears and eyes, he couldn't tell where the bell came from and how far away it was.

And the people in the bazaar, the moment they heard the bell, immediately went crazy.

The rats are running wildly, the snakes are jumping around, the buyers and sellers are throwing down their goods, the quarrelsome are throwing down their knives, and the dancers are all on their knees in the dust and muddy water before they have finished a circle.

Some people are crying, some people are shouting, and more people are banging and kowtowing, the force is amazing, and the blood is flowing all over their faces in an instant.

Yan Sui could also understand a few words of the local dialect, and saw that this was not sadness and anger, but excitement, and everyone was vaguely shouting a word, "Heavenly Temple, Heavenly Temple......"

The ethereal heavenly temple, which is only opened by fate according to legend, no one knows where it should be, and the place where it is opened is different every time, has been opened.

Chinese looked shocked, Yan Sui was also a little surprised, I thought I would have to wait for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so fast.

The people all over the street knelt down, but it seemed that he and Chinese were standing very eye-catching, but Yan Sui could not kneel, even if he was squatting, it was impossible to mean it, and Chinese was very flexible, so he immediately pulled Yan Sui to a store that looked slightly clean, and pressed him into the arms of the big-breasted female treasurer, "Master, eat and see!" When he turned around, he closed the door of the shop, and returned to the crowd, kneeling in the crowd of weeping and kowtowing, and began to point fingers and inquire.

After inquiring for a long time, the chicken and the duck finally figured out the procedure, and the Chinese were stupid there.

……

Yan Jue walked around in the Ming Garden.

It's not scorching, it's fun.

God help him! Is!

It's really a long drought and a rainy day, drowsy and hot pillows, and still grinding and packing with resentment, suddenly there are court officials who come to visit, but it is the new Huzhou sent by the court to take a holy decree in the next step.

Because this new driver has just arrived, he doesn't know what happened in Huzhou yesterday, and he doesn't know the content of the previous will, this person's officialdom is warm, and according to the usual practice, he first came to visit His Royal Highness Dingwang, the biggest leader in the local area.

He shouldn't have seen this decree, but he opened it, and then his heart was overjoyed.

Jiang Xin actually had an accident there!

Jiang Xin was the first to set off, he took the Meng Pearl family, went to Beijing to repay Wang Beijia and the three endowments a year, who knew that he somehow caught a cold on the way, fell ill in the inn, lingered for a long time, and when he arrived at Tianjing, Wen Zhen had already had a lot of things here.

Jiang Xin reported the matter of Huzhou Beijia, but nothing went wrong, after all, the evidence was conclusive, at that time, the matter about Huzhou Fengbaocang had also been spread, and the former assassin had committed suicide before the imperial court sent someone to arrest him, and Wen Zhen reported that the evidence of the corruption and collusion of the former assassin Shi Beijia officials was also complete, so Huzhou Beijia quickly agreed to make a decision, but after the matter was completed, Jiang Xin reported three endowments in the previous year and asked the Meng family to testify, something went wrong.

Meng Zhu's family retorted.

The Meng family said that there is no such thing as three endowments a year, it is just that some villagers in Xiaoye Village borrowed grain from Fengbaocang in previous years, and they have not been repaid for a long time, so they were urged. And the three members of the Meng family, it is entirely because of the young women, the pregnant women, the weak men, the family is easy to handle, and they were selected as witnesses by the assassin Shi Daren, so they had to embark on this vast road of thousands of miles of complaints.

Meng Zhu's pregnant sister-in-law had already given birth on the road, and the mother was weak, so she cried a handful of snot and tears in the temple, and immediately cried to the point that everyone cried to believe it - this family really should not go to Beijing as the bitter lord of the complaint.

Jiang Xin looked at this family and was dumbfounded, but as the middle of the imperial history, "holding the middle and fair" is the way that must be followed, and it can never be refuted on behalf of Wen Zhen, once he stands on Wen Zhen's position, he will lose the power and credibility to speak, he can only point to the family and tremble, and said angrily: "When you were in front of the old man, you didn't say that!" ”

Meng Zhu's eldest brother kowtowed, didn't dare to look at him, bowed his head and said: "I'm afraid of stabbing history and watching the wind to make power, and I just think about grievances and thoughtful ......."

Jiang Xin was so angry that he almost suffered a stroke and was carried down.

But the question is, why did Wen Zhen lie about the three endowments a year? Huzhou has confirmed that the taxes are extremely heavy, and she has paid three times and fattened the Tang family, what is the point of her fabricating and bullying the monarch on the issue of three endowments in this year? The Meng family looked confused, saying that they were just forced to give false testimony, and they didn't know the deep meaning behind Master Shi's assassination, and everyone thought that it should be like this, and it would be inappropriate if they knew.

In this way, the court launched a fierce debate on this matter, some people thought that the Meng family was slippery, and their eyes flashed when they testified, obviously there was something hidden, the matter of Huzhou taxation had been investigated by Wen Zhen later, and it was meaningless to cheat on the matter of three taxes a year, and Wen Zhen couldn't stumble on himself like this;

Some people think that it depends on the situation at the time, at that time, Wen Zhen had just entered Huzhou, and he was not sure to find out the tax situation in Huzhou, and he was offended by the villagers of Xiaoye Village when he entered Xiaoye Village, and he saw the government to collect grain, whether there was a misunderstanding and mistakenly thought that there were three taxes a year, and he was afraid that it would be too late to find out the truth about Huzhou's taxes, so in order to deal with the imperial court, he simply decided to sit on the matter, and Enwei forced the Meng family to testify, and there was a perfunctory problem?

There are also some people who put forward a possibility even more flickeringly, will there be no problem with Huzhou's taxation at all? The so-called three taxes a year or three times the tax, in fact, do not exist, it is Wen Zhen who has the power to cover the sky with one hand, wanting to create the illusion of Huzhou's high taxes in previous years. First, to cater to the expectations of the imperial court and increase political capital for themselves; second, to increase taxes and increase political performance; Three to ...... Third, if you want to say that the Tang family sucks blood from Huzhou grain and grass to support their own soldiers, this idea is really good, and the relationship between Wen Thorn Shi and Yiwang Yansui, and the god general Lin Qing is good!

The last sentence is earth-shattering.

It seems inexplicable, but in fact, it puts forward a very insidious and terrifying possibility - Wen Zhen fooled the imperial court, raised taxes, and then just like saying that the Tang family sucked blood from Huzhou to raise troops, he sucked Huzhou by himself, and privately cultivated forces for Yiwang Yansui and the god general Lin Qing!

Although this idea is the most absurd in comparison, it is the easiest for the emperor, who always guards his power like a giant dragon guarding a jewel, to think and believe in this direction, and almost the moment this official proposes it, the atmosphere in the court is cold.

Immediately, the emperor ordered the Meng Pearl family to be brought back, and asked about the tax situation in Huzhou, and the family naturally insisted that Huzhou's tax was not high, although it was the land of fish and rice, but every year it was either a flood or a drought, and this tax was still very difficult.

As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to sounding a footnote to the third argument, and the atmosphere in the court was even colder.

The commendation order for Wen Zhen has just been issued, if this matter is really too big, it is not only a matter of the court's face rubbing on the ground, but also related to the safety of the entire East Hall!

The god general Lin Qing is still at the border, but Wang Yansui, no one knows where he is recently!

Conspiracy theorists have contributed to conspiracy theories. But there are also people such as Li Xiangshan and Zhou Qian, the Duke of Dingguo, who have refuted this speculation as ridiculous, not to mention whether Wen Zhen can be so nonsense when she first arrived in Huzhou, how can the evidence she handed over be detailed and thoughtful? As a assassin, what method did she use to secretly loot, why did she take the risk of deceiving the imperial court to raise taxes and then extract profits from them? She herself said that she was just passing by and seeing and hearing about the three things a year, but she didn't see the whole picture, which shows that she is cautious and thoughtful, how can such a cautious person make such a move and easily send unreliable people to Beijing to testify and smash her own feet? And if she really covered the sky with one hand like this, why did so many accidents happen in Huzhou later? Obviously, someone has been working against her, maybe this matter is also one of the plans, please think twice, don't rashly chill the heart of the minister!

The court quarreled into a pot of porridge, and the final result of the game was that the emperor sent a new farewell driver and brought a will to Yan Jue, so that he could secretly verify the matter and not disturb the place. At the same time, a clear decree was issued to Wen Zhen, explaining that His Royal Highness King Dingwang was responsible for the important affairs of the imperial court, and he could freely obtain any personnel files in the three prefectures of Dinghu Ping, so that Wen Zhen must cooperate with Yunyun.

The Emperor had always been gentle and moderate, but he had forgotten what his son was. Forgot the relationship between Yan Jue and Wen Zhen now.

Yan Jue looked at the will, those words that were quite gentle, at this moment, in his eyes, it was bloody "Guilty!" Take the job! Imprisonment! Lock into Beijing! ”

If you don't take this opportunity to turn over, you really want to go back to Beijing to wait for the crime!

Yan Jue smashed his fist in the palm of his hand!

Outside the garden, there was a news that Lord Thorn had arrived.

Yan Jue grinned, and the smile was clear: "Please-"

……

Go to the heavenly temple, there will be a ladder to heaven. It's okay, it's probably a mountain trail.

The ladder passes through the four seasons in one day, and it doesn't matter, probably the climate in the mountain is abnormal and very high.

When crossing the ladder, the believer kowtows, step by step, until the top of the ladder, and no one less kowtow will work.

Chinese: "...... What the?! ”

Then ask what is a long head, it is the most respectful gift in the Pugan etiquette, kneel, put your hands on the ground with the back of your hands facing up, touch the back of your hands with your forehead, tap three times, and then get up, which is considered a long head.

And the ladder to heaven, the legend is 9,999 levels, such a long head that consumes physical strength, and has to experience the suffering of the four seasons of reincarnation, so I fainted and died, and in the end, I can hold on, and there is not one in a hundred.

The Heavenly Temple itself is not the place where the Chinese understanding of the herb is born, it is more like a miraculous and spiritual legend of Pugan, the legend of people with great wisdom, great piety, and great wishes, walking through the four seasons of reincarnation, touching the fairy machine in the Heavenly Temple, in order to get the most desired guidance in the heart.

To put it simply, if you do what it requires, it will fulfill one of your wishes, what you want will come to you, and the people you want will come, even if that wish is absurd and illusory, it will eventually be realized in a certain way, from generation to generation, year after year, nothing should be, nothing can't.

Chinese listen to the indigenous people, the most amazing thing is that many years ago, there was a beggar who desperately went to the sacred mountain, opened the heavenly temple in his dying breath, hated the injustice of the sky, and begged to be the king of Pugan.

At that time, everyone thought it was ridiculous that Pugan inherited the throne at that time by the Gancina royal family, a big racial surname, with strong power, which had been passed down for fifteen generations, and the regime was stable and unshakable.

As a result, since that year, Pugan has suffered disasters every year, and the royal family of Ganqina, who is like a mountain, has experienced disasters, betrayals, ground movements, and the death of strange diseases among men in the clan one after another. To this day, it is still his seventh generation of grandchildren who sit on the throne.

So far, the miracle of the heavenly temple has become a truly undesecrated throne in the hearts of everyone in Pugan.

Chinese stammered, "...... That, must kowtow? ”

"You have to kowtow, one less head, you can't do it!"

"That'...... Can you knock it on your behalf...... How many more of us will succeed? ”

"No! What kind of piety and wish is it on behalf of him! This is blasphemy! The man who replied became angry, and the waving arm almost threw him in the face.

The Chinese retreated, and only two words rolled through their hearts, "It's over." ”

His Highness has never bent his knees in his life!

He is the emperor's favored prince, and he does not kneel in front of the palace; He is a disciple of the immortal sect who accepts apprentices from generation to generation, and there is no master when he enters the door, and he does not have to kneel; The king, the parent, and the teacher are all exempt from kneeling, and besides that, who can make him bend his knees?

It is this king of Pugan, when he sees His Highness, he also has to salute.

How could His Highness bend his knees for the god of nothingness in the heavens of this small foreign country?

Chinese only felt hopeless, thinking all the way back, but gradually had ideas in their hearts.

For yourself, there is no way. After saying that he asked for medicine, His Highness must turn around and leave.

Perhaps, for that person......

Finally, when Yan Sui looked over, Chinese said to him: "Your Highness, this heavenly temple turned out to be just a legend with a lot of miracles, although Pugan is here, we also know that there are indeed a lot of inexplicable differences, but I don't see this herb nine times out of ten...... "Then he said the legend and the request to kowtow, and finally looked at Yan Sui's expression, and said: "Since it is just a wish to come true, it must be just some magic sticks to make a mystery, and we don't have any wishes to make, so it is important to hurry up and find medicine." Speaking and saying with a smile, "I want to make a wish, ask this god of Pugan to bless my old lady with a good birth in the next life, and a safe and healthy life, but this foreign god can really take care of the people of Dongtang?" Hehe, I don't dare to think about it. ”

Yan Sui did not speak.

The clock rang again.

……

Wen Zhen stood at the gate of Mingyuan, his face was very unsightly.

Behind her, Zhang Yue, Su Xun, Pan Hang, Jackdaw and others were even more angry.

Fang was in the Assassin's Mansion, as soon as the words came, there was almost a conflict, Wen Zhen had already launched a waiting to give birth, how could he still move? Zhang Yue said that since he had announced the decree, the angel should come to the Assassin's Mansion, how could he give the will of the Assassin Shi to King Ding's announcement to the king?

The other party is very reasonable, the will of the Tao is with the king of Ding, so it is natural to focus on the location of the person with a noble status, otherwise he will ask the king of Dingwang to run to the Shifu on a hot day to listen to the decree?

Zhang Yue said that he was sick again, please take it by himself, when can the other party's will be collected on his behalf? This is contempt for the might! Don't say you're sick, you're going to die, and you're going to die after listening!

The two sides argued, and almost made a move, but in the end Wen Zhen stopped him.

This matter is the reason of the king's side, and he has no reason not to accept the order. Rather than rubbing time here, in case the king of Ding is forced to come over and happen to be born, it is as bad as that, it is better to answer the call as soon as possible and rush over to take the order and leave, and it is too late to come back and regenerate.

She made a quick decision, immediately got into the sedan chair, changed her clothes again, and hid fat powder in her sleeves to hide her pale face with labor pains. Zhang Yue hurriedly got into the sedan chair and followed, seeing that the smile on her face remained unchanged, she felt that her heart was stuffy and her eyes were black.

Jun Moxiao wanted to follow, but was left by Mrs. Zhang's look, seeing the sedan chair walking away, Jun Moxiao was wandering around in the hall, "What can I do!" What can I do? ”

Cai Sang didn't go, Wen Zhen didn't let her go, she knew that she didn't have martial arts, and if something happened to Mingyuan, she would still be dragged down, so she gritted her teeth and said with a pale face at the moment: "We have so many arrangements, in vain!" ”

Mrs. Zhang knocked off the cigarette stick and said, "Mingyuan!" Easy to do! ”

The two women turned to look at her in shock.

"Next to Mingyuan is also our Zhang family's property! Have you seen the garden next to the Ming Garden? That's our other business, called Jiuqulin. There is a Jiuqu River in it, which is connected to the waters of the Green Lake of the Ming Garden, and the two homes seem to be far apart, but there is a courtyard wall as long as it is demolished, and the river is open! ”

Jun Moxiao: "......"

Cai Sang: "......"

Disrespectful.

The world of the rich, we really don't understand.

Mrs. Zhang waved her cigarette stick: "If the adults can't come back within an hour, take what you can bring from the delivery room to Jiuqulin." By the way, call a group of reliable guards to tear down the wall and open the canal! ”

……

Before entering the Ming Garden, Wen Zhen had already received a letter, asking her to find a way to go to the Ming Garden Green Lake if she couldn't withdraw in time.

She lowered her head and thought about the Ming Garden and the nearby terrain buildings, and faintly understood in her heart.

The labor pain has begun, but it is not urgent now, the pain is about once every ten minutes, about a minute each time, and it is still supportable.

The incense case is located in the courtyard behind the wall in the vestibule of the Ming Garden, far from the Green Lake.

Yan Jue stood behind the Xiang case, and there was a face-to-face official in front of the Xiang case, Wen Zhen had already been notified, and this should be the new driver.

Yan Jue saw her coming and smiled, this smile made Wen Zhen's heart skip a beat.

This is not like the expression of a person who is about to be forced away.

She and Yan Jue knelt on both sides of the incense case, and the rest of the people knelt behind, and the other person above read the holy decree, but only read the part of Yan Jue, and everyone was confused when they heard it-how could the king suddenly receive the important task? What is the priority? How can a person who has obviously made a mistake always take pictures of the three states, and can transfer the personnel of the three states at will? What's the matter, Your Majesty? The person who just applied for the punishment suddenly gave him such a big power, is this going to make him a demon in Huzhou again?

Yan Jue accepted the decree with a proud face, but said to Don't be busy: "The will to Lord Wen is not busy for the time being, since this king has received the will, it is necessary to take this matter up immediately, so as not to make it inconvenient after Lord Wen receives the will." ”

Wen Zhen heard that this was wrong, and before he could speak, he heard Yan Jue say: "Lord Wen, in this case, I will transfer the case files of Fengbaocang in Huzhou in the past three years, as well as the books of grain and grass taxation and archive, to this king for inspection." ”

Wen Zhen said: "Your Highness, the lower official is here to receive the order today. It is a great disrespect to not pronounce the will of the Lord. ”

Yan Jue sneered: "Didn't you say it, after taking it, I'm afraid that some things will be inconvenient, don't worry." But take a slow step, if there is anything this king bears, you will not be asked to bear the burden for this matter. ”

Zhang Yue glanced at the sweat on Wen Zhen's forehead, and while glad that the sweat was not obvious in summer, he said angrily in his heart: "Your Highness, receiving an order is receiving an order, and assigning affairs is a dissigning business, and I have never heard of receiving an order and delaying the distribution of affairs." Besides, the case file of this Fengbao warehouse has been destroyed in the fire on the same day, which you have seen with your own eyes, and the grain and grass tax filing book is enough to have a warehouse, because the case involved has been sealed, and it needs to go through all kinds of procedures to take it out, and it is impossible to do it without half a day. And there is a greasy record of tax collection over the years, this is a matter that has been reported to the imperial court, what do you mean by now you want to retrieve these useless files? ”

"This king needs to explain to you?" Yan Jue squinted at him, "Didn't you hear the will?" Solely. Got it? The full power is what the king commands, and you just listen, and don't adjust it! ”

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth, he didn't want to be transferred, it was cumbersome to transfer it to the file books, he had to run a few yamen, at least it would take half a day's work, and the most important thing was that after he was transferred, he would definitely take his time to see how adults could afford to wait!

He glanced at Wen Zhen, still looking as usual, only a sweat on his forehead was slightly reflected, but he could imagine what kind of pain she was experiencing, he had also seen his sister-in-law give birth when he was a child, and the woman's cry left a deep shadow on his young heart, and in the end, the woman did not survive, and there were two lives......

He shuddered. Suddenly he stood up and walked out silently.
