Chapter 63: Redemption

Luo Minghao and his entourage came quickly, and Yi Xiangxiang asked people to hand over the news within three days, and Yi Luochuan received Luo Minghao's greetings.

Because Luo Minghao said that he came to discuss poetry with Yi Luochuan and visited the old man by the way, Yi Xihu and the Lin family did not have a special reception, but directly handed over the matter of placing Luo Minghao to Yi Luochuan. Also, if the juniors have to talk to the elders, then Yi Xihu and the Lin family will really be busy.

On the official road from Jinhua County to Tongzhou, a group of people rode horses to escort a carriage, and Luo Minghao in the carriage really felt that he was going to be turned upside down.

"Xiong Wei! You...... Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? Luo Minghao's hysterical voice came from the carriage.

Xiong Wei is naturally going crazy, these days he has no news from Zhao Ziqian, and he is almost desperate! On the day when the Yi family handed over the booklet, he drove Luo Minghao away.

"Don't be foolish! Coachman, hurry up! Xiong Wei said to Luo Minghao in the carriage.

"My cousin! If you stay in such a hurry and enter the city in a hurry, won't it be clear that the purpose of telling others that we are going to Yifu is not simple? Calm! It's all coming to the gates of the city soon, so don't worry! Uncle Qing, slow down, I'm your son-in-law, don't turn me upside down! Luo Minghao listened to Xiong Wei outside the carriage and urged the coachman to speed up again, and hurriedly said.

When the coachman heard this, he really slowed down, and the group also slowed down the reins, and Luo Minghao finally took a breath.

Luo Minghao prides himself on being a weak son, and he can't get it when he rides a horse for a long distance, so he is in a carriage on this trip. And Xiong Wei, who was riding a tall horse, was walking on the left side of the carriage wearing the clothes of a squire, and he really wanted to arrive at Yifu in the next second.

"Can't you just hurry up? I have to teach you a lesson, do I? Xiong Wei said to Luo Minghao through the car window.

Luo Minghao, who was sitting in the carriage, took a sip of water and said speechlessly: "Say you don't understand, you really don't understand, look at how calm your friend is!" I'm here to visit a friend, not to mourn! The flaw in such a hurry is too obvious! Sister Xiangxiang has been told thousands of times, and she must not let you reveal her identity. I think what she said makes a lot of sense, we are not with you, it is inevitably involved, it is better to keep a low profile! ”

When Yi Xiangxiang asked people to send a brochure to Luo's house to Xiong Wei, she also brought a letter to Luo Minghao, asking him to be careful not to be suspected when he came, in case there are still people staring at the door, it is easy to cause trouble for themselves. The Yi family and the Luo family both want to protect themselves, and their low-key direction is the same at this point.

As for the friend of Xiong Wei that Luo Minghao said, it was Cheng Xi who came from Kyoto.

Cheng Xi arrived in Tongzhou only three days after Zhao Ziqian and the others went to Qishan, and at that time Zhao Zixiu was already looking for people in the name of searching for assassins. After Cheng Xi arrived at the Tongzhou stronghold, he didn't get any trace of Zhao Ziqian and Xiong Wei, and it wasn't until the rumor passed a little that news came from the stronghold in Jinhua County. So he learned that Zhao Ziqian's life and death were unknown when he was attacked, and the accompanying secret guards all withdrew to the stronghold in Jinhua County. He also heard that the Yi family rescued a person of unknown origin, and then the person left, he followed and checked for a few days without clues, and then he tossed and turned around before he found Xiong Wei who was waiting in the Luo family, so now he followed Xiong Wei and pretended to be a attendant with him.

"Minghao has a point, but now we can't be in a hurry!" Cheng Xi also sat on the tall horse and said to Xiong Wei next to him.

Xiong Wei also knows the truth, he is just really crazy!

Seeing this, Luo Minghao no longer made trouble with his cousin, so that the coachman sped up a little without a trace, so he touched the two pillars of incense, and the carriage came to the door of Yi's house.

Yi Luochuan, who got the news, was already waiting at the door, and he greeted Luo Minghao and the others with a smile. Luo Minghao is a junior, so he naturally had to go to Ci'an Hall to meet the old lady and old lady of the Yi family first. So a few people went to Ci'an Hall to ask Yi Kangwen and Mo Shi for peace, and then went directly to Chuanhe Courtyard.

"Where are the people?" As soon as a few people entered the Chuanhe Courtyard, Xiong Wei grabbed Yi Luochuan's hand and asked.

No matter what Yi Luochuan said, he also learned martial arts, although his kung fu is not as good as Qing Xuanmo and others, but it is still possible to break free from Xiong Wei. I saw him put Xiong Wei aside with one side hand, and then said: "Brother Tai, don't worry, people are not in Chuanhe Courtyard, you first sit on half a stick of incense and drink tea for a while, and then I will take you over." ”

He said that he had asked Luo Minghao to sit next to the mahogany mosaic tea case, and he sat on the front and began to boil water and order tea.

"What tea to drink! Go straight to it! How can we have the kung fu to drink tea with you! Xiong Wei saw that Yi Luochuan was not in a hurry, and his stomach instantly caught fire, and he said angrily.

"Brother Tai doesn't know what it means to be a guest?" Yi Luochuan did not back down.

Weigh the tea, boil the water, wash the tea, boil the tea...... Yi Luochuan's movements were smooth and unaffected by Xiong Wei at all. Luo Minghao next to him was gloating when he saw his cousin eating deflated, who let this big cousin always bully him, and he had no intention of helping at all.

Xiong Wei was about to go crazy, Cheng Xi came over and grabbed him and pressed him down in front of the tea table, and then he also sat down in the mahogany circle chair, and said to Yi Luochuan, who was making tea: "I'm sorry, we exceeded the rules!" I was too anxious just now, and I hope that Yi Gongzi will not mind. ”

No matter what the Yi family said, they also saved people, and they should also respect it.

The polite Cheng Xi's ability to brush up on good feelings must be stronger than Xiong Wei, and Yi Luochuan also knew that they were anxious, so he didn't pursue this issue anymore, but said the unspeakable: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, since Ming Hao is here to see me, if you don't sit in Chuanhe Courtyard for a while, I'm afraid it will cause criticism!" ”

The Yi family not only has a big house, but also a second room, and this Yi house is not as tight as an iron bucket. Yi Luochuan must have to consider the problem from the position of the Yi family's big house, so even if Xiong Wei is in a hurry, he can't.

Of course, Luo Minghao and the others didn't have too much speculation, so it wasn't until they followed Yi Luochuan to Yongle Residence that they didn't know why the latter caught them sitting in Chuanhe Courtyard for a long time. If you go straight to the girl's yard without saying a word, it will definitely be criticized.

Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi were naturally led into the side room to meet people, and Luo Minghao followed Yi Luochuan to talk to Yi Xiangxiang in the courtyard.

Zhao Ziqian in the side room was still reading books to pass the time, and that day Yi Xiangxiang finally agreed to let him watch Sun Tzu's Art of War, but he said that he couldn't take it away and couldn't pass it on. At this time, he saw Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi knocking on the door and coming in, so he put the book upside down on the tea table.

"The subordinates are not effective in escorting, please punish Your Highness!" The two of them knelt in front of Zhao Ziqian without saying a word.

"Get up, the main hall is all right!" Zhao Ziqian said.

Cheng Xi and Xiong Wei naturally blamed themselves and refused to get up, especially Xiong Wei, who felt that it was a wrong decision that he did not follow his Royal Highness at that time.

They were attacked in front of the ruins of Qishan that day, and Xiong Wei has also been secretly investigating Zhao Ziqian's whereabouts since then. The news that the Yi family saved a man in black was almost completely spread, and he also got the news. But first, he was afraid that Zhao Zixiu would find out their traces, and secondly, he heard that the person had already left Yifu, so he decided to wait for Zhao Zixiu to leave Tongzhou before coming to Yijia to inquire, but he didn't expect to receive the news from Zhao Ziqian in advance, and the person was still in Yifu.

Zhao Ziqian saw that the two of them knelt on the ground and refused to get up, so he said funny: "Get up, how can you talk about things if you don't stand up?" Well, Seon is not a blessing! You don't have to blame yourself, this hall has been doing quite well during this time! Not to mention the details, the treatment of injuries is also the best medicinal materials, this Yongle House is not much worse than the Prince's Mansion! ”

Yi Xiangxiang is a lover of food, it is extremely fine to eat three meals, there are many things that he has never even seen, I think it is a new product developed by Yi Xiangxiang! He now also knows that Xile Lou is not only managed by Yi Xiangxiang, but even the recipes for many dishes are provided by Yi Xiangxiang, which is really unusual, no wonder Xile Lou is so prosperous! Zhao Ziqian stays in this house every day, every day there is a little maid to change into a fresh bouquet, even the incense is a product of incense for Yongle Ju "Mo Xue", on weekdays he is still the famous poison doctor Holy Hand to ward off evil spirits, and the medicinal materials are all brought out from the Huanxi Pavilion...... Speaking of which, Zhao Ziqian lives in a remote house in Yongle, except for the fact that he is not free to enter and exit, he really does not suffer half a penny.

Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi naturally don't believe it, can the mansion of Tongzhou Zhizhou be compared to the prince's mansion? How can it be! They only felt that this was an excuse for their Highness to comfort them, but because Zhao Ziqian called out again, they couldn't disobey, so they could only stand up.

Cheng Xi was about to open his mouth to ask Zhao Ziqian about the cause and effect, when there was a knock at the door. After Zhao Ziqian let in, he saw three girls come in with snacks and tea; They didn't procrastinate, and after putting down their things, they retreated.

This maid of the Yi family is quite eye-catching, Cheng Xi thinks so.

"Sit down!" Zhao Ziqian asked the two to sit down and talk, and then he said: "The main hall was chased to the top of the mountain at that time, and was forced to jump off the cliff and fall into the river in desperation, and was rescued by the passing Yiluo River. After he rescued the main hall, he knew that he might provoke the fourth brother, so he arranged for someone to pretend to escape and let the main hall hide in his sister's courtyard. ”

Before Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi could ask, Zhao Ziqian explained the cause and effect, but he didn't say that it was Yi Luochuan who saved people, and it was Yi Xiangxiang who arranged these things.

"Is Your Highness's injury a big problem?" Cheng Xi asked.

Zhao Ziqian shook his head and said, "It's no big deal, it's almost better after a few days." ”

When he said this, Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi were really relieved.

"They are quite bold, but I heard that the fourth prince entered and exited the Yi Mansion twice in three days, but he must not have thought that the person he was looking for was right under his nose! If you know this, you will definitely die! Xiong Wei confirmed that Zhao Ziqian was safe, and immediately regained his former cheerfulness, laughing at Zhao Zixiu.

Cheng Xi was more stable than Xiong Wei, and only heard him ask: "The Yi family now knows the identity of His Highness?" ”

In his opinion, the Yi family is willing to hide from the fourth prince Zhao Zixiu Tibetan, it should have known the identity of His Royal Highness's seven princes and made a choice.

Zhao Ziqian shook his head and said: "I don't know, Yi Xihu doesn't know that the main hall is in the Yi Mansion, and it is a decision made by the Yi family brothers and sisters to hide the main hall, for the sake of more things is better than less." However, now that Luo Minghao knows the identity of the palace, the Yi family brothers and sisters should also know about it soon. It's okay, and the temple has no intention of hiding it from her. By the way, is there any movement in Kyoto? ”

Cheng Xi was surprised that the Yi family brothers and sisters had such courage, and without knowing the identity of the Seventh Highness, they dared to secretly hide the person the four princes were looking for, which was really unexpected.

"At the moment, Condrey is in control of the situation, and it is not a big deal. It's just that now that the four princes are already on their way back to Beijing, Your Highness, you have to go back quickly. And the concubine Niangniang has passed it several times to let His Royal Highness enter the palace, and if she doesn't go back, she may have to go through the gang. Cheng Xi said this to Zhao Ziqian, and then conveyed to him some other news in Kyoto City, which was nothing more than the fact that the crown prince and the second prince were forming a party.

Zhao Ziqian thought for a while and said: "Let people release the news, just say that the main hall thinks that Kyoto is too prosperous and impetuous, and sneaks out to enjoy the mountains and rivers!" Two days ago, I just went to Tongzhou and climbed Qishan, and praised the majesty of Qishan. After that, he also visited Yixi Lake, Zhizhou, Tongzhou, and had a very happy conversation with his son Yi Luochuan! ”

"Your Highness, this ...... I'm afraid I will be punished by the Holy One! Xiong Wei hurriedly stopped him.

Are you kidding! A prince slipped out of Kyoto without saying a word because he was greedy for mountains and rivers, and the excerpts that the official participated in would definitely fly like snowflakes to the desk of the saint.

"It's okay, my father will only reprimand the palace a few words, and he won't blame the palace for this matter." Zhao Zixiu tasted a piece of chestnut cake and said.

This chestnut cake is still hot, the taste is very delicious, he said and beckoned Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi to eat together, which surprised the two of them!

When did Your Highness love sweet cakes?

I don't know! Your Highness has never been a lover of appetite!

The two are fighting a lawsuit.

Cheng Xi sorted out his thoughts and said, "Then in this way, will the four princes find out that the things in Qishanzhai were taken away by us?" ”

Zhao Ziqian's rumor is to play in the mountains and rivers in Tongzhou, this excuse will be believed by others, but Zhao Zixiu, who came to Tongzhou to hunt for treasures, will definitely not believe it!

Even if he was suspicious, he didn't dare to blatantly settle accounts. Besides, the main hall was forced to jump off the deep cliff, so he had to suffer a little dumb loss! Zhao Ziqian said coldly.

Baht must be compared! Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi looked at each other.

"The Yi family may be ...... by the four princes" Cheng Xi did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident. If Zhao Ziqian revealed his identity, Zhao Zixiu might find out that the Yi family had deceived him.

Zhao Ziqian held the teacup and said quietly: "Yi Xiangxiang wants to get rid of the relationship with the main hall, but the main hall has to tie her up firmly!" ”

Chunchen? Think beautifully! Zhao Ziqian, who was paralyzed, smiled like a treacherous fox in his heart.

The reason why he agreed to Yi Xiangxiang and let Xiong Wei and them come in disguised as attendants was just to put Yi Xiangxiang at ease for a while and to do a little superficial work. In fact, he longed for the whole world to know that the Yi family was tied to his seventh prince. However, it is better if this is false and real, but it can make his fourth brother sway from side to side with suspicion.

When he appeared in Tongzhou, Zhao Zixiu must have known that he was the one who robbed things! But as for whether the person rescued by the Yi family left or not, whether it was an accident for Zhao Ziqian to befriend the Yi family depends on Zhao Zixiu's own judgment.

Cheng Xi looked at the imperative in the eyes of his Royal Highness, and he was even more surprised in his heart.

"Why did Your Highness bother with such thoughts? Moreover, if His Royal Highness secretly goes out of Beijing in the name of touring the mountains and rivers, I am afraid that the saint will not like it...... In the future...... "How can he hand over the country to a fun-loving prince in the future?" Of course, Cheng Xi also left half of this sentence.

When Zhao Ziqian heard Cheng Xi say this, he understood why he valued Yi Xiangxiang so much these days. As smart as him as Cheng Xi as he was, he had never seen through the emperor's heart before, but this little girl was hit to the root with a burst of blood! He remembered what Yi Xiangxiang said when he was in the Fusheng Pavilion of Xile Building that day, and she said that no father would want his son to die soon...... In fact, after he heard this paragraph at that time, he had a new direction.

A son who does not fight or grab will make his father feel at ease, and even more pleasing!

No one likes his things to be remembered, he doesn't like them; As the father of the Supreme Emperor of the Ninety-Five, he must not like it even more!

"If you don't fight, you fight!" Zhao Ziqian's dark and deep eyes looked deeply into Cheng Xi's eyes.

The air was instantly quiet, and even the wind seemed to be condensed. And in just a moment, Cheng Xi understood what Zhao Ziqian meant, and saw him salute Zhao Ziqian in shock: "Your Highness is wise!" ”

Xiong Wei on the side didn't know what kind of lawsuit these two people were fighting, and he was even more puzzled by Cheng Xi's excitement! So he only grabbed what he could understand and asked, "Why did Your Highness win over the Yi family?" ”

Although he didn't know what Cheng Xi was excited about, he heard it just now, and the Yi family had no intention of taking refuge in them.

Xiong Wei has questions, Cheng Xi naturally has it, this Yi family has no background, Yi Xihu is just a Zhizhou in Tongzhou, and he actually let his Royal Highness not hesitate to expose the fact that he took Qishanzhai things to the four princes! Why is that?

"The sentence just now was said by Yi Xiangxiang." Zhao Ziqian explained.

Xiong Wei didn't understand what it meant, but Cheng Xi understood, now he really understood why His Royal Highness wanted to take the Yi family for his own use, and why he just said that Sai Weng was not a blessing.

Cheng Xi nodded and said, "I see! ”

Zhao Ziqian saw that Cheng Xi had understood, and began to tell other things: "Yi Xiangxiang has a sister named Yi Ruonan, who has passed the age of a show girl, but she wants to participate in the draft. Later, we will leave Yifu, Cheng Xi, your identity is inconvenient to follow us for a long time, so go back to Beijing and let Kang Rui handle this matter well. ”

Well? Show girl? Your Highness has taken a fancy to this person?

"Is that to let her enter the Seven Princes' Mansion?" Cheng Xi still asked more.

"Except for the main hall, the rest is up to them!" Zhao Ziqian said.

Cheng Xi was a little puzzled when he heard this, didn't His Highness want to win over the Yi family? How do you stuff the eldest lady of the Yi family somewhere else? However, he is not good at asking again, after all, he has asked too many questions today, and His Highness must arrange this matter freely.

"By the way, a few days ago, you were asked to deposit gold into Yi Xiangxiang's bank account in batches, can it be done?" Zhao Ziqian asked again.

He just asked one more question, because he guessed that if he hadn't received the money, Yi Xiangxiang would have scolded him next door! And he hasn't heard anything like that these days, so he thinks that Cheng Xi should be done.

"Well, it's done, and a total of 20,000 taels of gold have been deposited. It is all real money and silver existing in the local semicolons, and no traces will be found. "Cheng Xi was on his way to Tongzhou at the time, and he went to do it immediately after receiving the news.

"Okay, let's use this method and deposit another 20,000 taels of gold." Zhao Ziqian said to Cheng Xi like this.

"Uh...... This...... Why? Cheng Xi asked.

"The previous one was another transaction, and now this one has 10,000 taels as a purchase fee." Zhao Ziqian said.

After Yi Xiangxiang knew that he had made a wishful thinking, he would definitely jump to his feet in anger. Since she loves money, let's use gold to appease her first.

Cheng Xi was speechless, it doesn't cost so much money to buy the Yi family! It's all white silver!

After listening to this, Xiong Wei felt that it was wrong, and asked again: "What about the ten thousand taels?" ”

"Redemption."

Zhao Ziqian spit out these two words lightly, and Lei Xiong Wei and Cheng Xi were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
