"What?!" Although there was a hot kang under him, Li Wei was still shocked into a cold sweat, and his illness seemed to be half better, so he struggled to sit up.

In his eyes, a martial arts master like Zhao Chuanqing, who is invincible all over the world, is brave and has thousands of troops, often disdains lying. Besides, what is the point of saying such things to a dying man? Moreover, the emperor summoned the ministers the day before, talked and laughed, and died violently that night......

"The palace concubine kills the king." Zhao Kun had a mocking smile on his face, "I remember that in the Xinghua Spring Pavilion, Zhang Tingyu said so. Li Youju: You're also here, I'm not mistaken, right? ”

"You, you—" Li Wei stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Kun tremblingly, but he was speechless for a while. Suddenly, he coughed. After a series of violent coughs, his voice trembled, with a sharpness that was beyond usual, "This can't be...... Is there one of you in the palace? ”

"I said, how do you know I haven't killed?"

"No...... No way! The Old Summer Palace is strictly forbidden, and there are blood drops to protect you, if you really have-" Li Wei still refused to believe it, or couldn't believe it, desperately trying to find an excuse to convince himself and make himself feel at ease. But Zhao Kun only used three words to quiet him.

"Joe Hei."

The words that Li Wei wanted to say were suddenly stuck in his throat, and his whole body trembled, and he looked at Zhao Kun with a very frightened gaze.

"It seems that the governor of Zhili also eats dry rice." Zhao Kun didn't continue, but talked about some irrelevant issues, "It is estimated that we will have to wait for a while, anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle......" "This incident happened in the forty-third year of Jianyi Kangxi. In order to let his sons learn government affairs, Kang Mazi sent the fourth prince Yinzhen out of Beijing to inspect ......"

With a weird smile on his face, Zhao Kun talked about a past story that was carved out in the face of Xiugus.

At that time, Yinzhen went to the area from Tongcheng to Huai'an. There is the junction of the Yellow and Huai Mountains, the waves and yellow water, like a long dragon that does not obey discipline, rolling every year, and breaking every year, the emperors of the past dynasties are almost helpless against it. Kang Mazi sent the fourth child here to ask him to inspect the water situation, people's feelings, official governance, and customs in the Huanghuai intersection area, hoping to get some inspiration from it. It was precisely that year that the Huanghuai River broke and the flood raged, flooding the fertile villages, displacing thousands of people and struggling to die.

The prince went out to Beijing on an errand to inspect Huanghuai, and this 'fourth master' also brought the emperor's will and brought relief from the imperial court. The local officials are eyeing the 'fourth master', or the silver in Yinzhen's hands. As a result, local officials came one after another, crying and complaining about the poor, greeting those who greeted them, flattering those who gave them local products...... All kinds of means have been taken out. There is only one purpose, to ask for more money.

It is said that this errand should come in the flattery of the officials, and in the service of the subordinates, he should go home. However, the so-called Tianwei was unexpected, Yinzhen came to Huai'an County, but encountered a big water siege.

The surging flood is rolling in, and it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south. I can't see the way out. It was already noon, and the sky was still thick and dark, as black as the bottom of a pot, with a dragon's tail hanging like ink lines, flickering and dark, running and swaying. The thunder was like a burst, shaking the good tower. The water of the Yellow River has swept the embankment, and the waves more than five feet high are roaring and shouting, rushing towards the city like a sea of mountains......

Thanks to Yinzhen's minion Gao Fu in a hurry, he found a big water tank and carried the fourth elder brother into the tank, but he himself grabbed the edge of the tank, went down the river, and was swept into the merciless flood...... Yin Zhen sat in the tank, and at the beginning, his mind was quite clear. However, drifting and drifting, he lost consciousness in the cold, hunger, shock and anger......

When he first woke up, it seemed to be sleeping on a small bed covered with hay, and a small voice seemed to be speaking next to him: "Alright, alright, this man has finally woken up...... Quick, get the ginger soup! ”

Yinzhen was helped up, poured a few mouthfuls of ginger soup, and then fell into a coma again. I don't know how long it was, but it was night when he woke up again. There was an oil lamp lit in the house, an old man squatting at the table smoking silently, and a young woman, coarse in cloth and a slender body, was feeding him a steaming bowl of ginger soup. Gao Fu heard Yinzhen wake up outside, rushed in three steps and two steps, and kowtowed to the old man on the ground: "Thank you, uncle, didn't I meet you, our king...... Our lord is dying. As he spoke, he kowtowed like garlic, but he didn't dare to tell the true identity of the fourth master. Yin Zhen struggled to sit up and said, "Uncle, my name is Wang Sunlong, and I am from Beijing. Thank you for the rescue, may I ask the old man's surname? ”

"Ahem, how dare we call this 'expensive' word in our family? Our surname is Hei, and we are from the Lehu family. Alas, the ancestors made sins to redeem their children and grandchildren, and accumulated virtue for themselves. It was the old man's eldest daughter Xiaofu who saved you, and here is my second daughter Xiaolu. Xiaofu borrowed rice and will be back in a while. After saying that, he sighed heavily and walked out.

As soon as Daddy left, Xiao Lu took out a nest head and handed it to Yinzhen: "Son, you will eat something." There is water all around here, there is neither food nor salt, my sister has been out for a long time, and she hasn't come back, where can rice be borrowed? Just listen to what my dad just said, and you don't have to take it to heart. As the saying goes, saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, so how can he be scared like this? ”

Yinzhen looked at Xiao Lu, and couldn't see clearly under the dim oil lamp. I saw that although her appearance was not stunning, she was also sweet and pretty, especially when she spoke heartily and articulately, without the shyness of a girl from a small family. Then he asked her: "You saved me, it is a matter of accumulating virtue, I am naturally grateful, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

Xiao Lu turned around and brought out a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and while beckoning the master and servant to eat, he said, "Alas, this is all a sin created in the previous life!" In our family, the ancestors were the former Ming family, and before the Yongle Jingjing, the ancestors were still officials in the court. However, after Emperor Yongle killed Emperor Jianwen, he said that we are Emperor Jianwen's sworn friends, no matter what your original surname was, all of them changed their surnames to 'black', and all of them were classified as 'untouchables' and entered the 'untouchables'. ”

"From then to now, for more than 300 years, the whole clan, regardless of men, women, and children, have to engage in lowly work, as a dramatist, as a drummer, as a matchmaker, as a stable woman, and ......, and are not allowed to farm and work as traders. In the past three hundred years, there have been ninety-four festival women and two martyr women in the clan. Last year alone, two died, one was that her husband died before she got married, and the girl also committed suicide by throwing herself into the water; The other is that both parents died, and he was abducted, but he would rather die than die by hanging himself. ”

"When the previous prefect heard about this, he said that it was rare to have such a lowly status, and he was determined to be good and unwilling to fall; It's a pity that this section of women and filial piety is not enough for a hundred. The prefect said that as long as he made up enough of this number, he would go to the table to ask the emperor to remove the whole family. Therefore, the clan has set a rule that no one in the clan is allowed to have trouble in this area...... Ahem, what am I doing with this? She blushed suddenly, and said no more. Yin Zhen said: "This is not what you want to say!" Xiao Lu glanced at Yinzhen and ran out.
