"She's no ordinary person." Li Jie interrupted Pei Nuan categorically, and there was only a cold color on the stone Buddha-like face: "The matter of forced expropriation is also good for us, and we must make the trip no matter what." ”

"......" Pei Nuan wanted to say something, but seeing his friend's determined look, he finally shut up.

In Tianfu, in Chen Yueyao's boudoir, several maidservants are holding a brush to copy the "Analects of Women". Chen Yueyao, who was punished, was lying on the couch and hammered the bed with a bang: "Slut! I'm! ”

The minions in the palace were accustomed to this, and they all hung their heads silently and concentrated on the work in hand.

"Lady." A red-phoenix-eyed maid bit her lip and had the courage to come to Chen Yueyao: "As the saying goes, 'A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late'." Now that Du Baozhu is useful, why don't you give her a good face and coax her to do things for you. When she's useless, settle accounts with her. ”

In response to her, there was a resounding slap in the face, Chen Yueyao sat up abruptly, and sneered: "Presumptuous! Who am I and who is she? What if she can do some business, why should I coax her? ”

The beaten maid didn't dare to cry out in pain, but just knelt on the ground and said, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid are talking nonsense." ”

Chen Yueyao saw that her cheeks were high and swollen, and she looked embarrassed, and her heart that was choked by Du Baozhu finally eased a little. waved his hand to signal the servant to continue fanning, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, before he got up suddenly: "Where is the uncle at this time?" ”

Chen Yueyao found Tian Lingzi in the study, and the first sentence was: "Uncle, that Du Baozhu is a spy of the thief army." ”

Tian Lingzi was looking at the map, and when he heard the words, he teased his eyelids: "You girl, what are you talking nonsense?" How many times have I told you, Du Baozhu is a clever person, and it won't hurt if you follow her to learn more. Why just can't you listen? ”

Chen Yueyao rolled his eyes in his heart: That little slut is good at acting, so you all take it seriously. What's so much to learn about this?

But he said: "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, I have solid evidence!" ”

"Oh?" Tian Lingzi saw that she was rare and not messing around, so she finally became interested: "What evidence do you have?" ”

Chen Yueyao called a few maidservants around him in: "When we met Du Baozhu at the safari, did you meet her with a man wearing a military uniform of ten thousand horsemen?" ”

The handmaidens were forced by her lewd power, how dare they say no.

Chen Yueyao continued: "But I searched all over the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army later, but I didn't find such a No. 1 person. Uncle, is this very suspicious? ”

Tian Lingzi closed his eyes slightly, and he couldn't see any expression on his face: "Maybe people are afraid that you will be held accountable, so they deliberately hid?" ”

"Not really!" Chen Yue Yao stomped his feet and pleaded loudly: "If you don't think this is strange, then the missing Shence Army team is always real, right?" Du Baozhu, the daughter of a petty official, what do you do with so many first-class guards? It's clearly a thief! ”

"Yao'er." Tian Lingzi saw that Chen Yueyao said it, but he couldn't say a reliable evidence, and his eyes showed a little disappointment: "When you want to deal with a person, you either rely on your fists or you have to rely on your scheming." It is not enough to fabricate a few falsehoods that will be revealed as soon as they are verified. ”

"The news of Du Baozhu's attack outside the city has long been spread, and I sent someone to the scene to investigate, and she did not lie. As for the thief army you mentioned, it's also a no-brainer. ”

"But Song Wentong and his party are indeed missing? Even if she is not a rebel, she is a murderer. Chen Yueyao saw that Tian Lingzi was unmoved, and couldn't help but be anxious: "She knows that the Shence Army is your man, and she still dares to do it, but she clearly doesn't take you in her eyes......"

"Yao'er." Tian Lingzi put down his pen and beckoned Chen Yueyao to his side with a pleasant face: "You are the one who is about to enter the palace, and you will not have an uncle to take care of you in the future, you should be more meticulous, and don't talk nonsense if you are not sure about anything, understand?" ”

Chen Yueyao knew that the more angry his uncle was, the more he loved to laugh, and he couldn't help but tremble: "Yao'er understands." ”

"That's my good niece." Tian Lingzi straightened the broken hair scattered next to Chen Yueyao's ears, and said casually: "Go, Song Wentong called." ”

Hearing this name, Chen Yueyao was shocked.

Before she could figure out what was going on, the thin young man had already knelt in the study: "I've seen Lieutenant Tian, I've seen Mrs. Chen." ”

Song Wentong was much thinner than the last time they met, like a skeleton. He was not wearing the costume of the Shence Army, and his right hand was missing a little thumb, which looked a little scary.

Chen Yueyao rarely had a trace of fear, and couldn't help but retreat.

Song Wentong witnessed her reaction, and the darkness in his eyes became more and more intense, but he lowered his head to prevent the first two masters from seeing it.

"Get up." Tian Lingzi didn't think there was anything wrong with this scene, he beckoned Song Wentong to get up with a smile, and then turned to Chen Yueyao and said: "Song Sanlang actually returned to the city a long time ago, and the nursing house in the mansion saw him wandering outside the Tian Mansion several times, so they arrested him and sent him to me." ”

"Fortunately, it was our family's guardian who caught him, not anyone else, otherwise the news of your stealing talisman would have spread, and the saint would have punished you with the crime of killing your head, how should I protect you?"

Chen Yueyao has long regarded the Shence Army as a slave of the Chen family, and it is natural to call the minions, where would he think so much. At this time, when I heard my uncle talk about this matter with a serious face, I felt afraid: "Yao'er knows that he is wrong." ”

Tian Lingzi shook his head: "Yao'er, you are so imprudent, how can I send you to the palace with confidence?" ”

Chen Yueyao bit her lip and was silent, in her opinion, it would be the best thing if her uncle stopped sending her to the palace because of this.

However, Tian Lingzi did not let her get her wish: "From today on, get along with Du Baozhu and learn scheming from her." Next year I will send her into the palace with you to be your companion. ”

Even though Chen Yueyao was reluctant to say anything to this uncle who was always smiling, he could only nod his head aggrievedly.

After she left, Tian Lingzi looked down at Song Wentong, who was as thin as dry wood, and ordered lightly: "Throw him to the mass grave." ”

Song Wentong struggled to escape from the bandit village, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was still death, and he couldn't help but struggle: "Lieutenant Tian, the servant is willing to go to the soup for you, please let the servant go this time!" ”

"No." Tian Lingzi shook his head regretfully: "Only the dead can keep secrets, you go to die obediently, I will order someone to give your family more two taels of silver." ”

Song Wentong was full of resentment and was still talking, but he was gagged by two big men and dragged out of Tianfu.

The west side of Chang'an City was originally a village, but in recent years, there has been a famine and a rebellion, and it has gradually become a gathering place for displaced people, which has driven the original villagers out of this place.

These displaced people had no land or houses, and when they died, they were rolled up with straw mats and thrown on the slopes of barren hills, forming a mass grave over time.

Two strong men came here in a carriage, threw the sack on the ground, and stabbed it a few times at random. As soon as they left, wild dogs and jackals came out of their hiding places smelling blood.

The leader of the jackals raised his nose and sniffed the air violently, the smell of blood was very fresh, and it was another good meal. It cocked its tail high, was the first to tear open the sack with its sharp teeth, and was about to open its mouth to bite down, but it was pinched by a hand that lacked a little thumb.

"Titica", the fingers were so hard that the neck of the leader of the jackals made a terrifying breaking sound, which frightened the jackals to flee in all directions, and soon disappeared.

Song Wentong threw away the dead jackal and slowly crawled out of the sack. He was stabbed three or four times in the back of the chest, and each wound was deep to the bone, if it weren't for the fact that he was born with an abnormality and his heart was on the right side, he would have died by this time.

And now, since God wants him to live, then he has to live a famous life, so that he will not live in vain!

Sitting on the mound of mass graves and resting for a while, he finally managed to gather some strength and stumbled down the mountain. Stealing a garment from the shack, he departed northeast without looking back.

Chang'an City is still peaceful.

The latest topic of Du Ji New Tea Shop is the robes that have been in the limelight recently, and if a lady doesn't have a robe, she can't hold her head up.

Fortunately, a Pingyi ready-to-wear shop has emerged in the new store, and the store also sells literary robes, but the outer layer of this literary robe is silk, and the inner layer is linen. In this way, the price is half lower, and the lady who is not rich in money can grit her teeth and buy one for herself.

The owner of this ready-to-wear shop is naturally also Zhou's, but why go to the trouble of opening a new store and not selling this cheap robe directly in the studio?

In Du Baozhu's words, it is necessary to maintain the style of the studio, so as not to let the nobles think that the things in the studio are too cheap and lose their face.

However, even though it has been divided into two stores, there are still many noble ladies who are afraid that the streets are full of literary robes, stealing their own limelight, and are unwilling to buy new literary robes.

"Jiaojiaoer, we have to hurry up and research new styles." Now that Zhou has tasted the sweetness of luxury goods and affordable goods, the bear's paw and the fish are reluctant to give up, so they buy a lot of gold jewelry in an attempt to coax Du Baozhu to come up with a few more sets of designs.

But Du Baozhu is not good at design, and he can make such a set of popular models, relying on the wisdom of his predecessors and Zhou's vision. Asking her to design another set would have killed her.

"Second aunt, you are the best person in Kyoto to wear clothes, and this new style naturally has to be designed by you."

"Me?" Zhou shook his head again and again: "I'm just learning from behind others, where do I know what design." ”

The aunt and nephew pushed back and forth, but there was no result, so they had to give up temporarily: "Then what should we do now?" This makes Pei Dalang and them wear new men's robes? ”

"It's not the right time." Du Baozhu shook his head and said, "The day after tomorrow should be the day when the Gold Powder Society will hold a poetry meeting, right?" ”

"Let's change the taste and hold a themed tea party, so that the ladies can open their eyes."
