After Zhong Xiaoshu settled the injured beggars, she was about to leave, when suddenly a little beggar pulled her clothes and complained of stomach pain.

She squatted down to check the situation, and suddenly a bad feeling floated in her heart, why could she meet this group of beggars for several days in a row?

It even happened to let her see them being beaten.

As soon as this idea popped up, he couldn't suppress it, Zhong Xiaoshu stood up and took a few steps back, and the group of beggars were a little strange when they saw Zhong Xiaoshu suddenly stand up.

"Zheng Cong!"

She shouted, and immediately several guards appeared from the shadows, and the beggars were terrified when they saw them with knives at their waists.

"Who sent you?"

The slightly older beggar looked up at her, and after a while he fell to his knees and kowtowed desperately.

"Girl, please spare us, we are just a bunch of hungry beggars.

We don't have any ill intentions, we just want to eat a few full meals.

You have such a kind heart, I beg you not to remember the villain, and raise your noble hand to spare us. ”

Someone started the way, and the beggars behind did the same, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Zhong Xiaoshu and begging for mercy.

"Girl, if you have a kind heart, just spare us, we just want to eat a few full meals."

With a crying begging for mercy, Zhong Xiaoshu was a little uncomfortable when she heard it, and she took half a step back at a loss.

Zheng Cong looked at her, "Mother... Madam, according to the subordinates, the intentions of this group of people are unknown, maybe they can find something by arresting and interrogating them. ”

The knife in his hand was not unsheathed, but Zhong Xiaoshu seemed to smell blood, and she shook her head with a white face.

"Maybe we're going in the wrong direction, they're just a bunch of beggars, they've been beaten like this, they've been retributed, let's go."

As he spoke, he ran out of the broken temple, Zheng never had a choice, glanced at the group of beggars kneeling on the ground, and chased them out.

When they were all gone, the beggars kneeling on the ground changed their faces, and the old beggar snorted, "What a thing! ”

"It's just, it's just a few meals of her, and she still wants to arrest us in prison, it's really unconscionable."

The beggar next to him was punched in the face, and he hissed as he grinned in pain as soon as he spoke.

"She left without even leaving the money for medicine, why is this woman so ruthless, is it difficult for us all to starve to death if she doesn't give money for medicine?"

"People nowadays don't have any compassion at all, and they don't look like they are dressed like people who don't have money.

I don't know how many people I can feed if I leak a little bit between my fingers, and my heart and liver are all black. ”

They scolded and scolded, without mentioning the help Zhong Xiaoshu had given them in the past few days, but instead scolded Zhong Xiaoshu as a stingy rich man.

After Zhong Xiaoshu returned to the palace, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, it was normal for beggars to have a group.

But most of those people were men with strong limbs, and even if they worked hard, they could live much better than they do now.

But they just became beggars, which doesn't make sense.

She couldn't figure it out, but the wind blew in from the window, and she shivered, and then sneezed violently, and her head was a little dizzy.

In the afternoon, it snowed, Zhong Xiaoshu was bored lying by the window to watch the snow, and when she saw Yin Zhige, her eyes lit up.

"Why did you come here suddenly, don't you have to meet the ministers in the afternoon?"

She ran over and grabbed Yin Zhige's somewhat cold hand, Yin Zhige smiled and shook his head, and he pulled Zhong Xiaoshu into the house.

"It's cold outside, be careful if it's cold."

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Xiaoshu sneezed several times in a row, and Yin Zhige smiled helplessly.

took off the cloak on his body and draped it on Zhong Xiaoshu.

"It's almost the New Year, I'm going to give those old foxes a holiday, I heard Zheng Cong say that you encountered something, so come over, are you okay."

Zhong Xiaoshu smiled and shook his head, "I'm fine, I just can't figure it out." ”

Yin Zhige led Zhong Xiaoshu into the house, he swept the snow off his shoulders and asked, "What's the matter, I'll hear it." ”

"That is, when I went out of the palace in the morning, I met the group of beggars from the other day.

It's just that they were being chased and beaten by a group of people, and I saved them.

After taking care of their wounds, I sent them back to the ruined temple, but suddenly I felt that something was not right. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu frowned, and Yin Zhige fed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth.

"What's wrong?"

"Isn't it strange that I've been meeting them for days on end?

The people we wanted to meet didn't even see a shadow. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu lowered his head, and Yin Zhige exhaled, "Don't think about it, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

"I don't think it's a coincidence, I always think that the beggars might know something."

Zhong Xiaoshu shook his head and denied Yin Zhige's words.

Yin Zhige nodded, "I'll do those things, you're tired of going out for so many days in a row, so you can rest for a while." ”

After appeasing his daughter-in-law, Yin Zhige called Yuan Wen, although he and Xiaoqing had a lot of trouble a few days ago, he was also a bit of a brain.

When Yuan heard the inquiry, he immediately went to the main hall.

"There's been an incident recently that I'm really confused, so I'm here to ask what you think."

Yin Zhige's voice was low, and he couldn't hear his emotions, Yuan Wen half-lowered his head, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

The former glanced at him, and after being silent for a while, he told the matter of Xia Guoyu's demon behavior, which made Yuan Wen's eyes widen.

"What do you think it should be?"

Yuan Wen frowned, "If this matter is true, it will be complicated.

The queen mother used as bait to go out of the palace for many days without meeting that group of people, maybe they are no longer in the capital. ”

Yin Zhige raised his eyebrows, "Their goal is me, and leaving Beijing will only delay their plans, and there will be no push." ”

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, sometimes, distance is not the key to success, maybe they have other plans."

These words made Yin Zhige's brows jump, and his eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Yuan Wen.

The snow outside the house was a little heavier, and the windows were not closed, and a few snowflakes floated in, landing on the floor where the earth dragon was burning, and instantly melted into water.

"So you mean, they have a new goal?"

After a long time, Yin Zhige asked out loud, his voice brought the distracted Yuan Wen back to reality, and he shook his head.

"Maybe they didn't show up because they were trying to confuse Your Majesty."

Yuan Wen's words made Yin Zhige a little foggy, and he exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Then this matter will be handed over to you to investigate, you have been in Beijing for less than three months, they will not pay too much attention to you, maybe you can find out something through this."

A cold wind blew into the room, and it hit Yuan Wen's back directly, and he swallowed his saliva and heard Yin Zhige's tone open lightly.

"Don't let me down."
