Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell his father about it first.

He repaired a letter and sent it to the liaison office of the Qin Palace's palace in the capital.

This place was rebuilt last year, and Xiao Yi took some effort to find out.

Although there are rumors of Zhou Zheng's death outside, and it is also said that Xiao Ren has also become disabled, but the Dingguo Mansion does not believe it, if it is true, Emperor Chongwen may have been assassinated several times.

Zhou Tong did it.

Zhou Tong didn't move, which means that these are all rumors, no matter whether Zhou Zheng is alive or dead, Xiao Qi must be alive and well, at least not as rumored, he was cut into a human being.

It is precisely because the Xiao family helped Zhou Tong enter the palace to assassinate him that the Xiao family will be relieved now.

Long Huwei, who stayed in Baoding Mansion, could be sure that someone lived in Chaoyangli, which seemed gloomy and deserted outside, but in fact there were many people in ambush.

Not to mention a letter, as long as the people in the morning sun do not agree, even a fly will not be able to fly in.

Xiao Yi's letter to Xiao Ren could only be forwarded through King Qin's meticulous works.

……

Zhou Cheng is an idle person, a few days ago he stayed by Zhou Zheng's side day and night, but he didn't feel anything, but now Liu Qianrui is here, there are maids and grandmothers by his side, and he doesn't need to serve.

He couldn't go out, he had nothing to do, and he was so uncomfortable that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

Zhou Tong told him that chopping wood can train his heart and arm strength.

Zhou Cheng didn't believe it, Zhou Tong picked him up and threw him out of the window.

Zhou Cheng got up from the ground and went to the kitchen to find Mrs. Jiang to ask for firewood.

That's right, Xiao Ren and Zhou Tong's diet is all handled by Mrs. Jiang.

Zhou Cheng and Mrs. Jiang are very familiar with each other, and when he was captured by bandits as a livestock, it was Mrs. Jiang who rescued him.

Hearing that he was going to chop firewood, Mrs. Jiang pointed to the whole pile of firewood by the wall and said, "It's all yours." ”

Zhou Cheng: ......

Xiao Yi's letter was sent to Xiao Ren, and after Xiao Ren read it, he handed it to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong pointed to a familiar name on the letter and asked, "This Zhou Zilong, is it Zhou Cheng's grandfather?" ”

Although Xiao Ren has lived in Zhou Cheng's house for a few days, he is not sure.

When the little chestnut called Zhou Cheng over, Zhou Cheng was sweating profusely and chopping firewood in full swing.

Hearing Zhou Zilong's three words, Zhou Cheng immediately replied: "It's my grandfather, it's like a fake." ”

Zhou Tong amused this kid, yes, it's like a fake, how to change it, you can change it for me.

"Your grandfather and Xu Qiao have a good relationship?" Zhou Tong asked.

"Xu Qiao? Oh, I remembered, the relationship is okay, once I had a fight with a few ** people in the Xishan camp, and they were caught in the Xishan camp, aunt and grandmother, you know, the people in the Xishan camp are all messing around, I thought I would suffer some hardships, it was Xu Qiao who brought me out with the relationship. My grandfather said that Xu Qiao was a good person, but his background was not good, and if he didn't have those people in his family to drag him back, he would still be able to climb higher, and maybe he would be able to enter the oily and watery places like Feiyuwei and Jin Wuwei. Zhou Cheng drank it in one go, Fang Fei brought him a cup of tea, and he drank it with a clatter.

"Then did Xu Qiao and your grandfather do business together in private, or other money and goods exchanges?" Zhou Tong asked again.

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Yes, there was one time, that is, the time I came back from the Xishan camp, my grandfather took me to set up a table in the Zhuangyuan Building and thanked Xu Qiao." On the way back, I saw that my grandfather had an extra cylinder in his hand, that is, the kind of cylinder used to hold the painting scroll, I asked what it was, my grandfather said that Xu Qiao entrusted him with safekeeping, and said that this thing could not be taken back to the Xu family, otherwise I don't know which pawnshop to send to, I remember this thing clearly, and I haven't forgotten it for several years. ”

Zhou Tong and Xiao Ren exchanged glances, and it was true.

It must have been Xu Qiao who handed over something to Zhou Zilong for safekeeping, but that thing was lost.

Zhou Tong looked at Zhou Cheng: "If you are asked to go back to the capital and check one thing, are you willing to go?" ”

"What? I don't have to be locked up here, I don't have to chop wood? I'm willing, of course I'm willing, I'm willing to go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire! ”

Zhou Cheng was so excited that he was about to jump up, and he didn't even think about what his aunt asked him to do.

……

On the second watch, Master Zhou came out of the Zongren Ling's house.

Since the King of Qin raised his army, the Zongren Order has not let many people from the clan camp come to his house to drink.

Mrs. Zhou smelled the smell of wine on his body, and said angrily: "That old thing poured you yellow soup again?" You're not going to sign something you shouldn't sign, are you? ”

Emperor Chongwen is a clan, King Qin is also a clan, whether it is a clan order, or these people in the clan camp, they are all relatives, whether it is Emperor Chongwen or King Qin, which one sits on the dragon chair, can kill all the loyal ministers and traitors, but will not kill all their relatives, as long as the clans do not stand in line and ignore both sides, then they can't die, Emperor Chongwen and King Qin who are emperors, they are still relatives of the emperor.

This is what many female relatives in the clan camp are worried about, in case the clan people make their brains hot and stand in line, and let their relatives sign and draw their fingerprints, it will be troublesome at that time.

The old lady Zhou Zilong has been eating and living in the yamen these days, and the Zongren Ling couldn't find him, so he let Master Zhou go over.

Mrs. Zhou was angry all night, and finally waited for Master Zhou to come back, and she had to nag a few words.

"Zhou Cheng didn't even have a message, you didn't ask someone to find your son, but mixed with those people, and then something happened, the old man is old, he has already lived enough, he stretches his neck and waits to cut off his head, what about you, what about our family, do you have to die with him? Who is he? He's not from our family. ”

Master Zhou yawned and said, "Didn't Daddy say it, Zhou Cheng is fine, he has been fine for a long time." ”

"Nothing? What about the man? Now that the war is in chaos, where has he gone? Daddy said it's okay, it's okay, he can bring my son back. Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears as she spoke.

How good her son is, well-behaved, sensible and filial, he didn't let her worry about it since he was a child. never ran home when he fought, whether it was Shuntianfu or Dali Temple, when he was arrested, he didn't say a word, he went obediently, and never caused trouble to the family.

Where's her precious son?

"Zhou Cheng wants to eat the Eight Treasure Duck of the Champion Building, you haven't taken him to eat it once, he still wants the whip given by the grandfather, Daddy is just reluctant to give it to him, my son is bitter, it's really bitter, he doesn't even have a whip, he can't eat the Eight Treasure Duck if he wants to."

The more Mrs. Zhou thought about it, the more sad she became, and she couldn't cry.

Master Zhou's wine is half sober, yes, isn't it the Eight Treasure Duck? Why didn't he take Zhou Cheng to eat?

Daddy is really stingy, there are so many things from the family, and he is reluctant to give a broken whip to his grandson, he knew that this was the case, he said that he would ask for the whip over anything.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the window, and the two of them did not pay attention, one sighed and the other wept, and then the window opened from the outside.

"Daddy, Auntie, I miss you!"
