After saying goodbye to Master Chang, Zhao Yu boarded the carriage with complicated emotions and informed Bai Jian of the information he had obtained from Master Chang.

After a little thought, Bai Jian also understood what the emperor wanted to do, but he understood that although he understood, how to avoid it was a problem.

Now, the Son of Heaven is furious, and when he was leaving, Chang Daren once obscuribly mentioned Le Zhao Yu: "If it is not necessary, try to draw a clear line with the Yu family." ”

Father Yu had long been disliked by the emperor, and the previous rebuttal from the court was even more presumptuous, directly stabbing the emperor's lungs. Before that, the emperor had plans to send Yu's father to northern Xinjiang, and the kind of place in northern Xinjiang that eats people and does not spit out bones has always been the rhythm of not being able to come back if you go.

Father Yu, in addition to being upright and outspoken, is also a bit reckless. The decree avoided Yu's father and Yu Yuanqiao's people, and went directly to Yu's mansion, and after Yu's mother received the holy decree, the news was transmitted back to Kyoto. After hearing this will, Yu's father's most direct reaction... Not a rage, but... Ecstasy.

He thought that his outspoken advice had finally worked, although the emperor had not yet investigated and dealt with the "greedy" officials he admonished, but the emperor would actually send himself to gnaw the bone of northern Xinjiang, and deliberately bypassed himself and sent such an important holy decree directly to his home... What kind of trust should the emperor have in him!!

This misunderstanding is a big one. Yu's father, who was so happy, naturally wanted to share this 'good news' with his colleagues in the imperial court, Yu's father did not have any good official friends, and the only son who could speak, Yu Yuanqiao, was still leading the army to guard the border with Edong at that time, and Yu's father shared the news with his friends who were usually at odds with him, including Chang Daren.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, above the court, every second is changing rapidly, every official can be both a friend and an enemy, the front foot is still in the court, you come and go, and the back foot can send your children to marry for the stability of your position... Only in one point, they are consistent, that is, really, really hated this nosy father Yu!

How many people who can be around the emperor really need the guidance of a soldier like 'Father Yu' who can only lead troops to fight? Let's not talk about how the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty stepped on other people's shoulders step by step, let's talk about the military attaché, which one did not break out of the blood rain in the corpse mountain? Which one has not led troops to war? Just because Yu's father's ancestors had accompanied Emperor Taizu to fight, and Yufu had a close relationship with several major sects in the martial arts, could he not take them in his eyes and argue with the emperor?

Besides, being an official in the court is like being in an outline with a fire in it, even if you are a clean official, it is inevitable that you will have to compromise, the world is as black as a crow, why do you, a military attaché, hold on to this! Originally, this kind of thing, they did it secretly, as long as it didn't touch the principle, the emperor would turn a blind eye to it, and now, the pickled matter that was tacitly approved was suddenly put on the table by a person, and the emperor had to deal with it, and he didn't know where to start.

Some people secretly have fun, and naturally there are people who can't stand it and plan to tell Father Yu the truth, but even if these people talk badly, Father Yu still insists on his own point of view, firmly believing that the emperor trusts him, and in order to give him a 'surprise', he deliberately bypassed him and sent the holy decree to Yu's mansion.

Yes......

This......

Those who can't be persuaded don't have to be persuaded, so these well-wishers restrained their bitter words, and instead patted Yu's father on the shoulder heavily, telling him: "You are right. ”

After that, in the last dynasty, Yu's father stopped for a few days, probably because of the trust given by the emperor, which made him drift to the point that he felt that every decision of the emperor was extremely sacred, but unfortunately, this 'quiet' did not last long and ended. Yu's father soon reappeared, and began to criticize the emperor in the court.

Although the date of the decree was not specified, and the emperor did not specifically mention the 'holy decree' in the court afterwards, everyone understood that this father, who was known for his uprightness, really provoked the Son of Heaven. So everyone tacitly watched the nose and nose and the heart was silent...

I thought that the 'battle' between the emperor and this father Yu would continue forever, but I didn't expect the ending to be so hasty...

Thinking of this, Master Chang's face turned pale, and he reminded: "Father Yu and Yu Yuanqiao have actually been imprisoned. Brother Zhao, if you want to continue to participate... I'm afraid that the books of the past ten years have been read in vain, and what the emperor needs is a perfect and well-behaved executor, not a reckless man who wants to 'press' him everywhere and thinks he knows very well.

Master Chang said all this, and Zhao Yu, as a junior, was naturally embarrassed to refute, but after he solemnly thanked him, he said something for Yu's father and expressed his meaning euphemistically.

Alas......

Young man, Lord Chang sent Zhao Yu to the door, and saw that he personally boarded the carriage, a little melancholy, who was not a blank sheet of paper when he first entered the officialdom, full of enthusiasm? It's just that they have resentment in the daily deceit, but Zhao Yu and Yu's father are still alive.

Shaking his head, Master Chang closed the door of his house.

And Bai Jian, who heard Zhao Yu relay these two sentences, was also silently pondering. Yu's father was imprisoned, and this news is somewhat reliable, but it still needs to be verified. And then there is the civil official mentioned by Chang Daren... It is not known whether he is really guilty or whether he is a scapegoat that the emperor found casually... Combined with the 'whistleblower letter' received by Bai Yu and the two families, Bai Jian felt that this matter was far from being as simple as he thought, like a huge iceberg floating on the sea, on the surface it was only a small tip, but if the captain did not notice it and continued to go his own way, then he could only get the result that the whole ship was shattered and there was no life.

Now, Father Yu is the helmsman in that small boat, and if he is not careful, he will never recover, and he will fall into the abyss.

The carriage was still rushing all the way, and the sound of Xiuzhu shouting horses floated into the car from time to time, burrowing into the ears of Bai Jian and Zhao Yu.

Raising his hand and rubbing his eyebrows again, Bai Jian smiled apologetically at Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu nodded, and then, Bai Jian stopped Xiuzhu, the carriage slowly stopped from the side of the road, Xiuzhu turned over and dismounted in confusion, lifted the curtain, and looked at the two people who were looking at each other.

"There will be a date later." Bai Jian rummaged through his pockets, threw the money he brought out into Zhao Yu's arms, and jumped out of the carriage.

In the conversation just now, although neither of them made it clear, they both understood their own thoughts. Compared with sending Zhao Yu back to Yanling, it was naturally more important to rush back to Bai's house to report the news, so the two reached an agreement in silence, Bai Jian left the money in the car, and left Zhao Yu to hire a coachman who could go to Yanling, while he and Xiuzhu had to hire two fast horses and rush home without stopping.

Bai Jian didn't go far, he was stopped by Zhao Yu, who got out of the carriage after him, and when he turned around, he saw Zhao Yu holding his money bag, trotting over, and said, "Brother Bai, you take these two horses off and take them away, these two horses should be your fast horses with good feet, right?" I can go to the post station to hire a horse, or directly find a convoy to go to Yanling. ”

Bai Jian and Xiu Zhu glanced at each other, silently hugged their fists and thanked them, untied the horse tied to the car, and then turned over and walked away.

-------------------------------------

At this time, Qiaozhi was still opening a restaurant in Yanling, and he didn't know what had happened.

This morning, Qiaozhi woke up early once, spread out on the chair, and let Qiu Yue comb her hair in a bun, before she could continue to spread it enough, the originally closed door was suddenly knocked, Qing Yue walked in with a complicated face, and said, "Miss... Downstairs... Door... Suddenly, a familiar looking guest arrived. ”

She bit her lip, and was still entangled in the face of Qiaozhi's inquiry, she didn't answer, just lowered her head, grabbed Qiuyue, who looked curious, and asked Qiaozhi to go downstairs to see it herself, saying that the guest was still waiting at the door.

Pretty Eda raised an eyebrow, but eventually got up from her chair and went downstairs.

At the door, a boy in a blue shirt stood with his hands in his hands, and when he heard her footsteps, he still didn't turn around, and his black hair was not tied up, but was draped over his shoulders softly, and he fell down.

Qiaozhi looked at this back, obviously she hadn't seen it, but she felt familiar for no reason, and her heart was filled with a trace of indescribable pain, which grew from the deepest part of her heart.

"This boy ......" suppressed the doubts in his heart, and Qiaozhi stood behind the blue-shirted boy and asked softly.

"Qiaozhi..."Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, it was a very warm voice, but Qiaozhi's heart jumped when she heard it, and she couldn't help but take a step back, "You..."

The blue-shirted boy turned around, and his voice was the same, he looked very gentle, his face was fair, and the black hair that was scattered behind him, he looked no more than the age of a weak crown, and he looked weak and easy to bully, his gentle eyes looked at the pretty branch who stayed in place like a statue, and said, "I'm back." ”

You come back.

Are you back?

You're back!

Qiaozhi looked at the man in front of her, unable to speak in fright, she could only stiffen in place, her mind was blank, and she only kept repeating these three words, like a thunderclap in her mind over and over again.

For a long, long time

Only then did she find her voice, no longer looking at the blue-shirted man in front of her, but lowered her eyes and said coldly, "Aren't you going to explain?" Shi Yao? ”

Yes, it's Shi Yao. From the back to the voice, every place coincides with the indelible memory in her memory, when she didn't see Shi Yao's face, she still had a glimmer of hope, until Shi Yao turned his face, this hope was shattered, he was Shi Yao, it was impossible to go wrong!

The indescribable grief suddenly became huge, as if a hole had been cut in the bottom of the heart, and blood was dripping with blood.

This belongs to the original pretty branches, and the bitter sadness.

Shi Yao looked at the girl in front of him, who suddenly lost her blood, and was not surprised, but raised her eyebrows with a smile, and her voice was as gentle as ever: "Qiaozhi, I came to you because I have good news to bring you." ”

Qiaozhi just continued to look at her coldly, with a look of resistance. Coming back from the dead, don't you even deserve an explanation from yourself or the original pretty branches?

Shi Yao noticed her silent resistance, shook his head, bent down slightly, and leaned close to her ear. The warm breath was blowing in Qiaozhi's ears, she wanted to dodge, but Shi Yao grabbed her shoulders stiffly, Qiaozhi never thought that this sick scholar who survived in her memory would have so much strength.

Her shoulders hurt, and she struggled subconsciously, but the next second she was directly startled by what Shi Yao said, and she was directly frozen on the ground, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The gentle voice sounded in his ears, but it was like a demon's whisper, a poisonous snake's spit: "I heard that Father Yu collided with the emperor in the court, and the eldest brother of the Yu family was also blamed by the emperor for helping Father Yu intercede, and the two were pressed into the prison together and were punished. ”

His hand slowly wrapped around Qiaozhi's waist, like a hug more like a clamp, and his voice continued to echo in her ears: "The Son of Heaven is angry and implicates the Yu family, it is said that Yu's father's punishment has been sentenced, strip off the official position, and the whole family will be abolished as concubines, and the northern Xinjiang will be assigned one day." His hand slowly walked along Qiaozhi's waistline, stopping at her neck, a slightly cool hand covered the back of her neck, and the two stuck together in an extremely intimate posture, "The Yu family is about to be destroyed, my good lady, how are you prepared?" ”

"What do you want?" Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Qiaozhi closed her eyes, like a lamb to the slaughter that had crashed into a trap, and closed her eyes gently and helplessly.
