Chapter 445: Panyu 146 Unfathomable Brother
Just when Xibao was in trouble, a hearty shout suddenly came from the bustling street.
"Big brother."
Zi Chen turned around, "Seventh brother? ”
With a smile on his face, the Seventh Prince Yuan Zhi strode over and said loudly, "What a coincidence, I met here." ”
The various things Yuan Zhi had done before had already made his position clear, but before his face was torn, Zi Chen still had to take care of his face. Immediately greeted his brother, "Yes, the weather is good today, come out and walk around at will." ”
Yuan Zhi said with emotion and admiration, "How can a person like the eldest brother who is worried about the country and the people walk around at will, he must be observing the people's feelings again." ”
Occasional compliments are still effective, at least the atmosphere of the conversation is not too awkward.
Zi Chen tapped his palm with a folding fan and said, "By the way, this is all in mind at all times." ”
"Well, this is nature, and Yuanzhi still has a lot to learn from his eldest brother."
Yuan Zhi's gaze remained on Zi Chen, as if he didn't notice the surrounding atmosphere at all, let alone Xibao and the others standing next to him. But how could a smart and keen person like Yuan Zhi not know Xibao beside Ziqi.
It seems that this is a clear attempt to save her.
Zi Chen raised the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly, "You are also a smart person, why do you need to learn from me." ”
"The eldest brother's way of governing the country is beyond the reach of the seventh brother, so naturally I have to ask for more advice." Yuan Zhi said very devotedly, and pointed to the front meaningfully, "Big brother, there is a newly opened teahouse in front, and there are all kinds of talented women invited in it, why don't we go and sit down." ”
Facing the invitation of the seventh brother, Zi Chen glanced at Xibao, and seemed to be thinking about something in his angry eyes.
Xibao hurriedly dodged away and stood to the side.
Today is hopeless, Zi Chen brushed his sleeves away with a cold face.
Yuan Zhi, who was following closely at this moment, raised the corners of his mouth when he passed by Xibao, revealing a meaningful smile.
After the two of them walked away, they silently poked their heads out, with a little pink on their faces, "It's so dangerous, fortunately I met the Seven Emperors...... Oh no, it's the Seventh Young Master. ”
Xibao looked at their backs and began to readjust some strategies, and said coldly, "Too coincidental things are often premeditated. ”
"Premeditated?"
I couldn't guess silently for a while, and I didn't mean anything to explain to the Lord, and I didn't ask any more.
After meeting Zi Chen, the hustle and bustle around him and the beautiful sunshine gradually faded away, Xibao didn't have the heart to go any further, turned around and said, "Let's go back first, let's buy a small mirror if there is anything missing." ”
"Oh."
After returning to the mansion, Xibao was even more determined that Ziqi should not move when he was away, and it was best not to even go out of the door.
All she had to do was sort out the information sent by the poppy sisters, and then do something that was brain-free or seemed to be more entertaining.
Now the first one in front of him is Prince Zichen, since His Majesty doesn't like him, why should he let him suppress Ziqi? Is it to use him, or is it simply to shape him?
The camps of the two sides are headed by Liu Guoshi and Master Zhang, and Ziqi's side is still the source of the prince, and it is good to be able to get the support of the prince, but is one prince really willing to succumb to another prince? With his intelligence, he can completely stand on his own, why does he always help Ziqi do things that are not beneficial?
Xi Bao thought about it, and felt more and more unfathomable.
In the evening, Hee-po decides to do some pastime, which seems to be more suitable for women.
For example, embroidery is what she is not good at!
"Sister Bao." When Xibao was about to roar, there was a sudden call from outside the door, and the needle eye of her fingers managed to make up ten.
Xibao simply threw away the embroidery in his hand and raised his head, "Come in." ”
Silently walked in from outside the house with two boxes and placed them on the table in turn.
"What is this?" Hee-po got up and walked over.
Silently picked up a box and said with a smile, "This is what Prince Ziqi brought back from Liu Qizhen, and it is a flower seed." ”
Xibao took the carefully selected bottle, opened it and saw the round seeds inside, and smiled, "How many people are staring at this case, but he still has this mind." ”
Xibao said reproachful words, but gently opened another box in his hand.
The box is carved from mahogany, which is very expensive at first glance, and there is a hairpin lying quietly in the box. It is made of green jade, carved with two plums, and even the heart of the flower is clearly visible, which is extremely chic.
Xibao picked up the hosta and looked at it carefully, and said, "This hairpin is so beautiful, I didn't expect Liu Qizhen to be able to buy such a high-quality hosta." ”
"This is not a gift from Prince Ziqi." Silently and hurriedly denied Xibao's words.
"Not him?" Xibao frowned.
Who else will give her something in this world, suddenly a person flashed, her heart shuddered, and she hurriedly lost the hosta, "Could it be the eldest prince?" ”
"Not really." Shook his head silently, then smiled, "It's His Highness Yuanzhi." ”
"Origin?" Xibao glanced at the hosta, a little resistant, "What are you doing giving me this for no reason?" ”
Silently shook his head and pursed his lips, "Sister Bao is so beautiful, it's not unusual for more people to like it." ”
It's not that simple. Xibao waved his hand and said coldly, "Go back." ”
"Yes." Mo Mo suddenly smiled and put away the hairpin.
"How's Ziqi's progress over there? It's been almost two months, and there is no news that I am going back. ”
"Oh, I was about to say, the news that my sisters just came from seems to be almost, and I have found evidence of human trafficking by Uncle Guo." Silently furrowed his brows, sad and disgusted, "There are several places involved in the matter, and there are hundreds of abducted and trafficked women. ”
"What? How many of them? Xibao gasped and turned angry, "Can you cover up this terrible news?" ”
"They are all girls, and most of them are from poor families, picking on other people's abductions." At a young age, there was some wind and frost between his eyebrows, and he sighed helplessly, "Some people are still willing to lose it." ”
Xibao glanced at her and shifted his emotions back to his thoughts, "Just relying on these hundreds of girls, it shouldn't be able to sell for much money?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this, he suddenly became angry, "Our uncle is smart. Only the weak ones were sold to the barracks, and the ones who were a little beautiful were kept in brothels. ”
"Raising?" This is a new word, thinking that unfortunate women are sold to brothels, how can there be a word for raising.
"These girls are not free, not even as good as business girls. Half of the money was distributed to the bureaucratic bustard, and half went into the pocket of the uncle of the country. Those girls have become his cash cow. "Such a pure tool for collecting money, it feels cruel to say it silently.
"In troubled times, the pillars of the country actually made profits by selling girls." Xibao's eyes flashed with a sharp light like a blade, and he said fiercely, "It's really a loss of conscience." ”
"yes, it's cruel."
