Chapter 67 Pull out the radish and bring out the mud
"A child?" Listening to Wei He's report, Jiang Jingyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes. Wei He said, "The princess didn't pay attention to the others. Now he has returned to the courtyard, but the princess asked her subordinates to bring a message, saying that she wanted to wait until the matter here was solved before going to Tianheng Mountain. β
Jiang Jingyu knew in her heart, "It seems that she already has a plan." β
"That'...... What does the prince mean?"
"You sent someone to pick up some gifts and send them to the Zhou Mansion, saying that Gongzi Zhou was dying because of the five princesses, and this king specially made amends for the five princesses. In addition, in order to visit Zhou Gongzi, if Zhou Gongzi is free of life, he will be invited to personally go to Yuwang's Mansion to apologize to the princess. β
I don't know where the gossip in the capital came from, but there is no chaos, if the Zhou family came forward to clarify in time, the rumors would not be so noisy, but the Zhou family started to be a turtle with a shrunken head, ignoring this matter, and letting those who don't know criticize Shen Xizhi.
In order to protect Zhou Zhuo, Lord Zhou also took great pains, and he didn't want his old face.
At the same time as Jiang Jingyu ordered, there was also news from Shen Xizhi's side.
The little beggar was followed by two clever guards, they followed the little beggar all the way back to a ruined temple, and heard him call a person "Brother Dazhu", the two knew that they had found the main master, so one of them watched, and the other hurriedly reported to Shen Xizhi.
When Shen Xizhi arrived with people, the guards who were watching hurriedly made a silent gesture and signaled them to be careful.
"What's the situation now?" Shen Xizhi stood in a hidden place and secretly looked into the ruined temple, where there were a few beggars lying horizontally, looking like most of the old people. Although this ruined temple can barely shelter from the wind and rain, but in autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, not to mention the old people in thin clothes, even those strong young people may not be able to withstand the cold in the autumn night.
Shen Xizhi didn't expect that there were so many beggars here. It is said that the benevolent hall in the north of the city has already been in use, and there should not be so many people in the capital who have nowhere to go.
stared at him and said, "Back to the princess, that kid has been quarreling with the big pillar brother in his mouth. The subordinates were too far away to hear what they were saying. β
"Then go in. "She brought a lot of people, and the momentum alone was enough to scare peopleβdidn't you see her coming, and the people along the way took a detour when they saw them?
The guards looked at each other, and immediately shook their spirits, and all of them made fierce looks.
Shen Xizhi saw that they looked like they were going to find someone to fight, "What are you doing here?"
The guard said: "Don't worry, princess, your subordinates will definitely overwhelm them in momentum." β
"This ......" Shen Xizhi suddenly said, "This is not necessary, there are still many old people in it, if you are scared of a bad person, wouldn't it be to provoke the Yuwang Mansion?" β
Listening to her orders, the guards no longer deliberately pretended to be fierce. Instead, he entered the ruined temple first, and the people inside were frightened when they looked at these guards with knives, especially the young man who was talking to the little beggar.
"Brother Dazhu, where are you going!" Dazhu screamed as the little beggar screamed, and Dazhu scurried towards the collapsed wall like a rabbit.
Just as he was about to run, the guards rushed over and grabbed him by the belt.
Dazhu couldn't move an inch, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! What are you doing! The master has no grievances with you, let go of the master!"
As he spoke, he was still scrambling to untie his belt, but the guards had already rushed over and knocked him to the ground in three or two blows.
"Brother Dazhu!" the little beggar also ran over, waving his fist and beckoning to the guard.
"Ouch!" the little beggar was thin and had little strength, but the guard was impatient with him, and lifted him aside with one hand, "Stinky boy, it's none of your business here." β
The little beggar got up and was about to rush up again, but Shen Xizhi didn't know when he walked in. As soon as the little beggar saw her, he understood, and said angrily, "You follow me!"
Shen Xizhi did not deny it, "It is related to the reputation of me and Yuwangfu, so I have to borrow extraordinary means." Little brother, I heard you know something?"
She said to the pillar that was struggling on the ground.
"I don't know, I don't know!" Da Zhu's face was a little panicked, although his voice was loud, he had no confidence, "You are so bullying, I, I will definitely sue you!"
The movement here startled the old man who was resting in the ruined temple, and several old men hobbled out with each other's feet. As soon as they saw the pillar pressed to the ground, they exclaimed.
"What are you doing? Let go of the pillar!"
Even though it was difficult to walk, I still insisted on coming.
Dazhu looked even more panicked, and he couldn't care about struggling, so he hurriedly shouted over there: "Go back!
But most of the old people have their ears behind their ears, how can they hear Dazhu's words clearly?
The guards were a little unbearable, but Shen Xizhi's expression was calm, and he even had an idea between the lightning and flint.
"Look at the reaction of those old people, they should think very highly of you. Maybe I can guess that you've been taking care of them, but if something happens to you, they're left alone, and now it's getting colder, and that's all that's ...... Wait for death. β
There was a cool air in her voice, but there was a smile on her lips, which made people shudder, "Although I have no evidence to prove that those rumors are related to you, but as long as I detain you for a few days, and no one takes care of you for a few days, these old people probably won't survive, right?"
Her words shocked Dazhu and made him feel terrified, "You...... They are innocent!"
"Yes, they are innocent, but you are suspicious. Besides, I will not do anything to them, but their life and death are in your hands. β
She spread her hands, a little indifferent, and her expression was a little similar to Jiang Jingyu.
Dazhu knew that she was telling the truth, and he knew that she had that ability. When he saw an old man staggering over and almost falling, his eyes were red and he was defeated, "I said...... You let me go first, I can't run away. β
The guards saw Shen Xizhi nodding, and sure enough, they let the person go. Dazhu got up with a bone, first slapped the little beggar who was trembling with fright, and then dragged him and walked over with a grin.
"Alas, Uncle Liu, didn't you say that you should have a good rest?"
"Ahh
"They're all friends of me and the dog! I heard that we have thieves here, so they came to teach us a few tricks!"
"Really! I don't believe you ask the dog!"
"Hmm...... Brother Dazhu is right, he was just trying Brother Dazhu's skills......"
Not far away, Shen Xizhi listened to Dazhu's loud voice, and asked a few guards a little strangely, "After the completion of the good hall in the north of the city, no notice was issued, but all the elderly over sixty years old can move in." Why is there such a place in the capital?"
The guards knew something, but they were still cautious: "As far as my subordinates know, there are many people under sixty who live there. So the quota that should have been allocated was occupied. β
