Next.

The morning glow shines through the carved window, casting spots of light on the ground. A sparrow was bouncing on the ground foraging for food, and before he knew it, it also entered the light spot. Where the light spots didn't shine, the moss was noticeably thicker and looked wet.

Zhou's house is already in ruins.

Officers and soldiers searched out several bodies that were unrecognizable. But there is still no way to determine whether Zhou Yunluo and Zhou Feifei are dead.

Of course, there is also the newborn child, who does not know anything.

As for Shuilian, when Zhou Bin left, because he was afraid that the child in his belly would be harmed by Zhou Yunluo, he lived in the Wu Guogong Mansion and there were no problems.

After the officers and soldiers finished investigating, they left a bunch of people to clean up the rubble and left.

It's just a few grass people, life or death is not so important at all, the officers and soldiers just look at Wu Guogong's face and stay for a long time, otherwise it's not a routine walk.

"Sister really can't find it?" Zhou Ziye's right foot was crippled, and when he heard that Zhou Yunluo was burned to death by the fire, he couldn't help crying, pulled Zhou Jinxuan and said, "Uncle, now that we are homeless, don't drive us away." ”

Before Zhou Jinxuan could answer, the old Duchess said, "How can your uncle drive us away again?" What if there is another fire? ”

Zhou Ziye said: "Yes, uncle, let's stay!" ”

Zhou Jinxuan said: "You guys live in the courtyard of the original second room first!" I'll have people clean it up again. ”

In the boudoir, Zhou Zheng was practicing calligraphy.

Narcissus stood aside and sharpened the ink for Zhou Zheng.

The air smells of ink.

"Girl, the second room is back in again." A handmaid came in to report.

Zhou Zhengzheng put down the pen in his hand, seemed to have a premonition, and was not surprised, and said to Narcissus: "Narcissus, please come to Zhou Yi." ”

Narcissus went.

Zhou Zheng pondered.

Of course, I want to live in the second room now. Because, only by living here, they are the safest. If something happens to them, then the people will naturally think that it is the big house that caused the harm.

But Zhou Zheng couldn't give them this opportunity.

Otherwise, what's the point of driving them away before?

Zhou Yi came over.

Obviously, Zhou Yi's mood did not change at all because of yesterday's fire, but was even happier because he could live in the Duke of Wu again.

"Big sister looking for me?" Zhou Yi was wearing a bean-green embroidered long skirt, simple and delicate, always looking at people with a pair of innocent eyes, "My sister will live here in the future, and I will ask my eldest sister to take care of me in the future." ”

Zhou Zhengzheng looked at himself in the mirror and said coldly: "No, you'd better not live here." ”

Zhou Yi smiled, "Is the big sister joking with her sister?" ”

"Of course not." Zhou Zheng turned around suddenly, and his cold gaze met Zhou Yi's little eyes.

Zhou Yi couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"You're scared!" Zhou Zhengzheng walked towards Zhou Yi step by step, "You must wonder who set the fire last night!" I'm telling you now, I put it! ”

Zhou Yi was shocked, his face was pale, how could it be, Zhou Zheng was only eight years old, would he kill people and set fires?

"Why would the big sister do this?" Zhou Yi slowly retreated.

Zhou Zheng approached again, like a wolf, with a bloodthirsty breath, Zhou Yi was scared, took a few steps back and put his back against the wall.

"What does Big Sister want to do?" Zhou Yi said.

Zhou Zheng plucked a hairpin from the bush and quickly stabbed Zhou Yi's arm.

"Ahh Zhou Yi screamed in pain.

Zhou Zhengzheng sneered: "You just call, here, even if you die, no one will find out." ”

The blood flowed down, Zhou Yi pushed Zhou Zheng away, covered his wounds, and looked at Zhou Zheng in disbelief.

Zhou Zheng gently wiped the blood stains on the hairpin with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "I don't know why you want to sneak into our Guogong Mansion, and I don't know why you want to kill Sun Yue." However, if you continue to stay, then I can't guarantee that the next time you stab you will be a hairpin. ”

"You-" Zhou Yi didn't expect Zhou Zheng to know everything, and ran away as if flying.

Zhou Zheng scoffed, "I originally thought how bold she was, and she was not afraid of killing, but now it seems that she is just a rat, and she will be scared if she is scared." ”

After going back, Zhou Yi persuaded the old Duchess not to live in the Wu Guogong Mansion.

"If we live here, we will become a turtle in an urn, waiting to be eaten by the mermaids of the big house at any time, and the big house is now powerful, even if we really kill us, who can take them and what will happen?" Zhou Yi persuaded Zhou Ziye, who had the most weight to speak.

Zhou Ziye looked at his crippled right foot, and said dejectedly: "It's not that I have to stay here, but now that my mother is dead and my father is not here, where else can we go except for the Wu Guogong Mansion?" ”

Zhou Yi said: "Let's ask Grandpa Wu to help us find a place to live." We are all old and weak women and children, if the Wu Guogong Mansion ignores us, will Zhou Jinxuan still have a reputation? ”

Zhou Ziye nodded.

So in the second room, the old Duchess and Zhou Ziye came to find Zhou Jinxuan together.

Zhou Jinxuan agreed without staying, promising to buy them a new house within three days, and arrange for officers and soldiers to protect them.

Zhou Zhengzheng was relieved.

Yuwang Mansion.

The cold night is like water, and the stone steps are like ice. The candlelight swayed slightly in the wind, and the candle shadows swayed from side to side on the wall. In the garden, the plantain leaves drooped as if waiting for the sun. But the sound of the tinkling spring water is crisp.

Amin has returned.

Lin Zhongchao looked at the flickering candle flame blown by the wind, and said gloomily: "Zhou's house was burned, but because of Zhou Yi and Zhou Jinxuan, not many people died. ”

Armin put down his sword and poured himself a cup of tea, "I've heard it all. On the way back, the people were talking about how Zhou Jinxuan risked his life to save the second room, but no one mentioned Zhou Yi. The master's fire is not completely useless, at least, it has raised Zhou Jinxuan's public opinion. Now, Zhou Jinxuan has the prestige of the prince in the hearts of the people of the Great Ming Dynasty. ”

Lin Zhongchao nodded: "Whoever is good to the people, the people will also remember him, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat." ”

Ah Ming took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, "I'm useless, King Qi sent more than a dozen dead soldiers, dragging me one after another, and actually let Zhou Bin run away." ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "It's me who underestimated Zhou Bin too much. It's not your fault, it's that I'm not prepared. ”

Ah Ming said: "Master, I categorically don't understand, why would King Qi pay so much for a Zhou Bin? You know, it's not easy to cultivate a dead soldier, I estimate that the King of Qi only has a total of fifteen dead soldiers, but now, fourteen of them have been killed by me, and only one has escaped back. ”

Lin Zhongchao raised his head, his amber eyes reflected the bright moonlight, "Lin Feng, I already know that we are helping the Duke of Wu." ”

Amin was shocked, "How is that possible?" How would he know? ”

"Lin Feng, he is not an ordinary person." Lin Zhongchao said.

In his previous life, Lin Zhongchao had learned Lin Feng's intelligence, although he was killed by Lin Feng in the end because of Zhou Zhengzheng, but he was the one who lost in the end.

Now, almost all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are Lin Feng's people, and even Wang Zuocai, the guard of the imperial city, has become Lin Feng's henchman.

Such a fast speed of convincing people's hearts is not something that ordinary people can do.

In terms of numbers, Lin Zhongchao is indeed far inferior to Lin Feng now.

"Then, Lin Feng also knows that it was the master who saved His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Amin asked a crucial question.

Lin Zhongchao nodded, "Half of the soldiers under Deputy General Weng died inexplicably, and I estimate that Lin Feng beat them into a trick." ”

Lin Feng's friends, including many military attachés, could naturally inquire about how Vice Admiral Weng died that day.

"King Qi knows all this, so it is logical to guess that the person who has been helping the Duke of Wu behind his back is us?" Ah Ming said, "No, even if he knows, how can he know about our relationship with the Duke of Wu?" ”
