Zhao Xunyan only returned home and learned that Jiang Rui had been killed.

"Is someone from the Jiang Mansion coming?" Zhao Xunyan asked as he walked.

"No, there is no news from the Jiang family. Jiang An wanted to come, but was stopped by the old lady of the Jiang family. Jiao Simiao said.

Zhao Xunyan's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned around: "The Jiang family is planning to turn back?" ”

"I'm afraid that this means, Chu Qitai also died last night, saying that he committed suicide."

When Zhao Xunyan heard this, he only laughed sarcastically: "They died just right, how did you do there?" ”

"As soon as the prince's porridge shed comes out, we will act, I have already arranged for people to mix in the disaster victims to prepare for trouble, as for General Yang's side," Jiao Simiao pondered: "Will it affect the Prime Minister's Mansion?" After all, the second lady of the Chu family is about to get married, and I am afraid that you will be implicated because of this. ”

"Don't worry, now that Chu Qitai is dead, Chu Bingsong has a way to protect himself, and even if the Yang family wants to drag the Prime Minister's Mansion into the water at that time, we have to see if he has the ability." Zhao Xunyan raised his hand: "Go and prepare, go ahead as usual." ”

Jiao Simiao raised his eyes to look at the back of him leaving, smiled and turned his head to leave.

At this time, in the villa, Chu Xi was a little worried when he saw that Lin Qingyu had not returned.

"Miss, where are we going?" Lu Tan followed behind Chu Xi.

"Go meet the concubine." Chu Xi said as she walked, her stomach couldn't be hidden for long, if she didn't act quickly, she would definitely be seen through by Zhao Xunyan, she had to go out first.

Jiang Fan listened to Chu Xi's words, and was a little worried: "If you leave, in case your mother and they come over"

"No, Jiang Rui is dead, and Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Ning, as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house, will return home now." Chu Ji said.

Thinking of Jiang Rui's death, Jiang Fan didn't know what to say, after all, there was more than just personal grievances involved.

"Then can you wait for them to leave before you go?" Jiang Fanyang begged: "In case my mother finds out the clue"

"What did you find?" Before Jiang Fan's words were finished, Mrs. Jiang walked in from outside. The mama who followed looked panicked.

"Mother?" Jiang Fan was a little surprised, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Chu Xi who was standing on the side, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu is also here, I heard that the eldest prince of your mansion has passed away, although he is a criminal, but the emperor has issued a decree to allow the people of Chu Mansion to take the body back for burial, should Miss Chu also go back?" ”

Chu Xi looked at her lightly, it was impossible for the emperor to make an order so quickly, and he would not be so easily exempted from Chu Qitai's crimes, even if he died and wanted to be buried, he would not make a big deal, after all, he had several lives. But Madame Chiang seemed to want her to leave quickly, did she find something?

"Don't worry, it will take half a day for the carriage from the Chu Mansion to come, I will accompany the side concubine first." Chu Ji said.

Ning Shi hurriedly said: "Why don't we lend you the carriage?"

"Didn't the little son of the Jiang family also be killed by the gangsters last night? Presumably, the two of you are also in a hurry to go back, how can Chu Xi take your carriage? Chu Xi said again.

Seeing that Chu Xi refused to go first, Mrs. Jiang's face sank, but she had nothing to refute.

"In that case, then let's go together, the carriage will take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and then we will go back to Jiang's Mansion." Madame Jiang stared at Chu Xidao.

Chu Ji saw that she couldn't shirk it, so she no longer refused, and only looked back at Lu Tan: "I can't stay with the side concubine, you just stay, you have always been clever, but you have to make the side concubine happy." ”

"Yes!" The green sandalwood sound should respond.

Ning followed behind, his hands tightly twisted, but Chu Xi only left a maid ring, and it should be fine.

Jiang Fan saw that Chu Xi had left someone, and he felt a little more at ease, and said a few words to Mrs. Jiang before they all left.

After leaving the villa and getting into the carriage, Mrs. Jiang was angry in her heart. I was going to borrow Chu Xi's hand to get rid of the child in Jiang Fan's belly, but I didn't want her to not only get rid of the child, but also partner with her to deceive herself, if Su Guifei or King Xiaoyao knew, they would be furious, and the future of An'er would be ruined.

"Go back quickly, just take the path." Madame Jiang said with a calm face.

"But ma'am, the path is bumpy"

"Where are you talking so much nonsense." Madame Chiang said unhappily.

The little guy said no more, and drove the carriage down the path, bumpy along the way.

Chu Xi was so upset that her back hurt, and Ning and Mrs. Jiang were not much better, especially Ning, whose whole face became pale.

It was easy to arrive at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he put Chu Xi down, said a few polite words, and hurriedly turned back.

Lu Ya was busy looking at Chu Xi up and down: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay." Chu Xi smiled helplessly and shook her head: "Let's go." ”

"Where?"

"Relief for the victims." Chu Xi said lightly.

"But where is Concubine Jiang? Green Sandalwood is a girl after all" Green Sprout was a little worried, but Chu Xi was very relieved: "Green Sandalwood is a clever one, don't worry." Chu Ji said, looked back at the Chu Mansion with the door closed, turned his head and left.

Mrs. Jiang and Ning hurried back to the villa, but they were stopped by the previous grandmother when they arrived at the entrance of Zhuangzi.

The grandmother was very angry that Mrs. Jiang deceived her into leaving Jiang Fan's house and eavesdropping on their conversation, and now she has no good face when she sees it: "Mrs. Jiang didn't go back, why did she come again?" ”

"I forgot to take something, why, I wasn't allowed to go in and look for it? Even if I'm not looking for something, I'll look at my daughter. Mrs. Jiang said.

The grandmother smiled: "That's not good, you can go in if you take the prince's order, but you can only enter once, and you are not allowed to go in if you come out." ”

"What kind of rule is this, do you concubines know?" Ning stepped forward and asked.

The grandmother laughed: "I know, the rules that the prince has made, if you don't believe it, you can go to the prince's mansion to ask in person." ”

This makes it clear that they are not allowed to enter!

Ning's gentle face was filled with a little anger: "You are a slave, don't deceive people too much, although our Jiang Mansion is not a famous family now, it is also the mother's family of the side concubine." ”

"You're right, so you're qualified to ask the Prince." That grandma is also a good person, and after being deceived once, she didn't bother to talk nonsense with them anymore.

Seeing this, Madame Jiang knew that she couldn't get into this door, but if she really wanted to ask the prince, she would have to run back and forth, and when she came back, it would be too late.

"Mother, what should I do?" Ning's Road.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at the grandmother standing steadily at the door, gritted her teeth slightly, turned on the carriage and went back to Jiang's mansion.

"Mother, should we tell Concubine Su and King Xiaoyao about this matter?" Ning asked in the carriage.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what to do: "Let's go back first." ”

The weather was gloomy again, there was no snow, but the cold wind blew up the snow on the ground, and the snow flew all over the sky as if it had entered a bitter winter, and the streets were miserable and desolate.

The prince's people were worried that the rice in the capital was as expensive as gold, but three or four carriages ran out of an unknown alley. Go directly to Yang's Mansion.

General Yang was discussing disaster relief with Yang Qianxiu and Yang Ci at this time.

"The rice in the capital, even if we are bankrupt, we can't buy much." Yang Qianxiu persuaded the old general Yang who stubbornly wanted to take out all the silver money, if he really did this, wouldn't he have responded to Chu Xi's words before.

Old General Yang knew what he was thinking, and snorted: "The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is closed now, is this the right thing to do?" He doesn't care about the lives of the people, but I can't stand it, who is not a living person lying outside! General Yang's words were sonorous and powerful, and the people were very infected, but Yang Qianxiu shook his head: "Father"

"Alright, don't talk about it." Old General Yang turned his head to look at Yang Ci: "You go to order people, and immediately go to the nearest state capital to buy rice from the capital!" ”

"Father, quit this time, in case someone has a heart"

"How can there be so many ill-intentioned people, besides, my line is sitting upright, going to buy rice for disaster relief, it is impossible for the emperor not to understand." General Yang was a little annoyed by his repeated persuasions.

Yang Qianxiu looked at Yang Ci anxiously, and Yang Ci also got up and gave his hand: "Grandfather, you forgot, the matter of those dead soldiers outside the city last time has not been clarified, let's take people and money out of the city at this time, it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious." ”

"You are also a mediocre person, you go to the street to see, there are all old and weak women and children, all of them are going to be frozen to death, it is difficult for you to bear it!" Old General Yang had also suffered hardships, so he was particularly sympathetic to this: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, how can you be so ruthless!" General Yang glanced at Yang Ci: "Since you don't want to go, then I'll go over in person!" After that, he got up and was about to go outside, Yang Ci was thinking about whether to go to find Chu Xi, and someone came outside.

"General, someone asked to see him, saying that he was here to repay his kindness."

"Repay the favor?" General Yang remembered the woman with the weft hat before, could it be that she couldn't do it again?

Yang Ci immediately thought of Chu Xi: "Please come in!" After that, he looked at General Yang again: "Grandfather, you just wait a little longer, maybe she really has a way."

"What can I do, is it possible to conjure up thousands of stones of rice grain." Old General Yang snorted and sat down angrily.

A short time later, a woman dressed in a plain linen cloak came in, her eyes were bright, her body was thin but her complexion was good, and she looked neat at first glance.

The woman saluted and said, "Old general, my master's kindness has not been repaid, so I have sent the little woman over this time." ”

"Let's just say it, don't delay me out of the city." General Yang was a little impatient.

The woman smiled and raised her eyes to look directly at the old general: "The little woman is here to stop the old general from leaving the city, there are already people waiting for you outside the city, if you go out, the Yang Mansion will be gone." ”

Old General Yang frowned: "Ridiculous. ”

Aunt Hong was not in a hurry, and clapped her hands: "My master has prepared ten stone rice, one hundred old cotton clothes and one hundred catties of charcoal for you, which is enough for you today." But my master also said that as long as someone in Yang's mansion leaves the capital, she will throw away all the remaining rice and grain to feed the dogs. ”

"You ----!" When General Yang heard that he was going to throw away the rice grain, he was so angry: "What about your master, let her come over in person." ”

Aunt Hong chuckled: "My master will not come over, because she has to watch carefully to prevent the Yang family from leaving the city." Ten stone rice converted, there are thousands of catties, enough for you to use today's porridge, as for cotton clothes and charcoal, I have not enough horses and horses, and I am also worried that I will be found by the gangsters, so I did not transport all of them, and I will send some more tonight. Aunt Hong finished speaking. He said goodbye, and before leaving, he didn't forget to advise: "People from the Yang Mansion, don't go out of the city, my master has always done what he says." ”

Old General Yang watched her leave and took a deep breath.

"Grandfather, if you don't listen to her." Yang Ci hurriedly persuaded.

Yang Qianxiu also said: "The top priority now is to distribute all these things, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower, father."

"I see." General Yang raised his hand and seemed to compromise: "Resign, you go down and take charge of this matter." ”

"Yes." Yang Ci hurriedly got up and left, hurriedly chased out of the hospital, Aunt Hong fortunately did not leave, Yang Ci hurriedly said: "Will your master come at night?" There are some things I want to ask her. Yang Ci said.

Aunt Hong seemed to understand Yang Ci's intentions, and laughed: "My master won't come over at night, but he will go to Jinghua Building to sit." ”

"Thank you." Yang Ci hurriedly thanked him, and Aunt Hong smiled, got into the carriage and left.

When Lin Qingyu saw Chu Xi. She was by the lake behind Jinghua Building, Zheng Yun was also there, and Yun Songyi was also there, but Yun Songyi came down this time, not to play, but to follow the instructions of Master Yan and go to Yan's house to give orders.

"Why aren't you going?" Zheng Yun looked at Yun Songyi, who was sitting on the bow of the boat with his face propped up, and asked.

Yun Songyi looked sad: "My grandfather didn't know what he was thinking, so he let me go, didn't he want my life." My two aunts are all like something, and my grandfather also said that 5,000 taels of silver would be allocated for each room, wouldn't that kill them? ”

Chu Xi chuckled: "Your grandfather is helping you." ”

"Help me?" Yun Songyi was puzzled: "Help me make a feud with the two aunts?" ”

"If you give out all this money, and you have a reputation outside, no one who wants to marry you in the future will look down on you. One more, if you can ask for this money, where will your aunts dare to bully you two in the future? It's too late for you, or in their capacity. You must not be broken in the back, and it will be said that because you took their money to help the victims, and then they will torture your orphans and widows with a grudge. Chu Xi said with a smile.

When Yun Songyi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Although the reason is such a reason, how can I get this money?" ”

"Your grandfather didn't teach you?" Chu Xi asked.

Yun Songyi shook his head: "After he said it early this morning, he sent me out by himself, and I didn't have a good way to think about it, so I came to look for you." ”

Chu Xi was dumbfounded, but Zheng Yun on the side laughed: "Hehe, your grandfather has a good idea to let you come to find Miss Chu." ”

"He didn't know that I would come to find Sister Xi'er," Yun Songyi said and noticed that something was wrong, and his grandfather knew that he would definitely look for Chu Xi every time something happened.

Yun Songyi looked at Chu Xi in confusion, but Chu Xi only smiled: "Teach you a way." ”

"What's the method?"

"When your two uncles go down to the court early in the morning, you go directly and tell him, what Elder Yan said, you must take out 10,000 taels of silver in each room to relieve the victims."

"I understand the matter of blocking the eldest and second uncles at the door of the court. But for 10,000 taels, the eldest aunt will not come out even if she dies" Yun Songyi was puzzled, Zheng Yun only laughed on the side: "When the time comes, if you let them take another 5,000 taels, won't they be happy?" ”

"Oh" Yun Songyi nodded clearly, got up and arched his hand towards Chu Xi, "Thank you, Sister Xi'er." ”

Chu Xi chuckled: "But you have to come over for the remaining five thousand taels." ”

"With whom?"

"Of course it's Boss Yan." Chu Xiwan'er: "Since he calculates me, I will also calculate him." When you have all the money left, keep it as a dowry. ”

"My grandfather didn't have that much silver"

"Treat the treasures he has in store as one or two." Chu Xi said with a smile.

Lin Qingyu looked at Chu Xi, who began to be bad again, and laughed: "Those treasures collected by Master Yan are closer than his own son, you let him take them, didn't you cut his flesh." ”

"I'm afraid that he doesn't know the pain, so he pries Yi'er to calculate me all day long." Chu Xi's words were not angry, only a little joking, and everyone laughed along.

Yun Songyi pondered for a long time, and then followed Zheng Yun to the stern of the boat to learn fishing, and then Chu Xi said, "What does the palace say?" ”

"Zhao Xunyan went to find Princess Huaiyang yesterday, what do you think the emperor will say?" Lin Qingyu added hot tea to Chu Xi's cup and handed her the warm hand stove.

Chu Xi looked at his small actions, and her heart warmed slightly: "No matter how much the emperor has a long love for children." No matter how much he feels indebted, he is a good emperor after all. ”

"The emperor is old." Lin Qingyu's tone was a little regretful, she raised her head and squinted at Chu Xi, against the background of Xiao Suo, she seemed to not eat the fireworks in the world, and she couldn't see a trace of anger.

Chu Xi looked into the distance lightly: "Even if the tiger is old, he still has sharp teeth, and all he is inconvenient is to move." ”

Lin Qingyu's smile became bigger and bigger: "The emperor asked me not to meddle in this matter, but I think he shouldn't want to test the crown prince." ”

"Why do you say that?" Chu Xi was puzzled.

Lin Qingyu chuckled: "Because the emperor has never mentioned the crown prince from beginning to end, what he has been talking about is all about the battle between the DPRK and China, and he doesn't care about what will happen to the prince this time." ”

Chu Xi frowned slightly: "Then the prince's affairs this time can only rely on himself." ”

"That's not true, isn't there still you and me, we husband and wife are of the same heart, and I'm afraid that we won't be able to support a prince?" Lin Qingyu laughed.

Chu Xi's face was slightly red, she leaned back, and looked away, Lin Qingyu looked at her like this, and she also bent her eyes.

In the afternoon, the city was very calm, and the big families in the city also opened the porridge shed decently. After turning around, I saw that everything was safe, so I hurriedly went to the direction of Jinghua Building.

When Jiao Simiao talked back, Zhao Xunyan had already received the news that the Yang family had not left the city at all.

"With General Yang's character, he shouldn't be able to sit still. What went wrong? Zhao Xunyan couldn't figure it out.

After Jiao Simiao came over, he said directly: "When will we people who are mixed in the disaster victims? ”

"There's no hurry." Zhao Xunyan thought about it, and always felt that there was a force in the shadows that had been working against him again, this force was very weak before, and he had never noticed it, but now he suddenly used his strength, which caught him a little off guard: "You make some small moves first and see what is going on." ”

"Yes." Jiao Simiao bowed his head and raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xunyan: "My subordinates heard about it outside."

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that the prince's side concubine seems to have never fallen off, and I don't know what's going on." Jiao Simiao said.

Zhao Xunyan's face sank slightly: "You go to Jiang's Mansion and let Jiang An come to see me." ”

"Yes." Seeing that Zhao Xunyan trusted him so much, Jiao Simiao was slightly happy in his heart, and turned his head and left.

Zhao Xunyan waited for Jiao Simiao to leave, turned his head and called a carriage and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Jinghua Tower, Chu Xi was a little surprised when she saw Yang Ci.

"Why are you here?" Chu Xi didn't let him see Lin Qingyu and the others, but directly led him to the private room on the second floor.

Yang Cizheng was surprised that there was such a place behind this building, and when he saw that Chu Xi didn't want to say more, he didn't ask, but said: "Thank you this time, if it weren't for you, Yang Mansion would only be afraid."

"It's not over yet." Chu Xi stood by the window, and from here you could roughly see the face of the capital. Many large families have opened porridge sheds, and more and more homeless people have begun to gather slowly, with joy on their faces, as if they have hope for life again.

Chu Xi looked at it, and only felt sad in her heart: "How did you arrange the homeless people outside the city?" ”

"You said that you were not allowed to go out of the city, so I haven't figured out what to do, but I have already handed the letter to the prince and asked him to figure out a way." Yang Ci said, looking at Chu Xi's worried look, he stepped forward slightly: "Sister Xi'er, you don't need to worry so much, even if what you said really happens, the emperor will also"

"Alright." Chu Xi interrupted him, in the previous life, they were all dead: "You must listen to me this time, this time I will let you know who is behind you." Chu Ji's eyes were slightly red.

Yang Ci saw her like this. He didn't say more, but said: "How did you expect these things, listening to your previous words, it seems that you have been preparing last month, otherwise you would not have been able to buy so much rice grain." ”

Chu Xi sighed lightly and smiled: "I am different from the fake Taoist priest who was imprisoned by the prince, I can really see the future, so you must believe in me, and you must also convince the old general to believe in me." ”

Yang Ci looked at her serious appearance, stunned for a moment, and nodded Mu Mu, but for the matter of ghosts and gods

Chu Ji knew that he still didn't believe it very much, so he smiled: "You go and deliver a letter to the prince, this Taoist priest had better interrogate him as soon as possible, and tell him a word before interrogation." ”

"What?"

"You tell the Taoist priest that the daughter of Wang Yuanwai's family is still waiting for him to go back." Chu Xi said lightly.

Yang Ci didn't understand what Chu Xi was talking about at all, but since she told her so. He nodded, "Okay, I'll go over tonight." ”

"It's better to go over now, this matter is sooner rather than later, if that Taoist priest is killed, Concubine Jiang will suffer in vain." Chu Ji looked out the window and said.

Yang Ci nodded: "Then I'll go over immediately." With that, he hurriedly went downstairs and hurried to the prince's mansion.

In fact, Chu Xi originally wanted to wait a little longer, and it was best to catch the person who went to kill him, so that he would have two witnesses. But Lin Qingyu said that the emperor didn't care about this matter at all, so she felt that it was better not to take risks, if the Taoist priest died, there would be one less sword inserted in Zhao Xunyan's body!

A fast horse ran quickly through the streets of the capital, the people on the horse looked fierce, the whip in their hands kept whipping the people who blocked the road on the street, and even the seven or eight-year-old children were also whipped and fell to the ground, their skin was open, and they were covered in blood.

The man on the horse didn't stop for half a minute. Hurried to the hot spring mountain villa outside the city.

Yang Ci happened to come over and dismounted and helped the child up: "Are you okay?" ”

The child's mother only hugged the child and cried, and Yang Ci sighed slightly: "You take the child to Yang's Mansion first, and General Yang will definitely save him." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The woman was busy kneeling and kowtowing, Yang Ci looked pitiful, and wanted to chase the man, but Chu Xi had an order, he couldn't delay, so he still turned his head and got on the horse, and went straight to the prince's mansion.

As soon as Zhao Xuanyi heard his words, he took him directly to Dali Temple.

At the end of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Bingsong was also packing up and going out with Zhao Xunyan.

"Do you really want to do that?" Chu Bingsong asked as he walked.

Zhao Xunyan bowed: "I'm worried that someone will be unfavorable to us, but this person is in the shadows, and now is an emergency, I can't find who this force is, so I can't leave any handle to that person." ”

When Chu Bingsong heard this, he nodded solemnly: "Okay." Then I'll go to Dali Temple now and get rid of the Taoist priest. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Xunyan shook his head, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I heard that Miss Chu has returned from the villa outside the city, has she ever returned home?" ”

Chu Bingsong frowned slightly: "It doesn't seem to be." What's the matter, is she also involved in these things? ”

Zhao Xunyan narrowed his eyes dangerously, but the corners of his mouth rose: "It's okay, you go and do your business first." ”

After sending Chu Bingsong away, Zhao Xunyan was overjoyed in his heart, if she was really so smart, when the time came, she would think of a way to make her her own person and help her do things, I don't know how wonderful it was.

"Come on, go and find out where Miss Chu is now." Zhao Xunyan said.

"Yes."

Zhao Xunyan thought of Chu Xilai, and the plundering in his eyes was even worse, and last night Zhen Niang kept reminding herself that she must kill Chu Xi. But the more he looked at it now, the more he felt that Chu Xi was a good chess piece, such a good plaything, how could he kill it so easily

The capital at night seems to be particularly tense, there are constantly children's cries and shouts, there are ghosts in their hearts to close their homes, and those who have plans in their hearts have begun to take advantage of the night to act, tonight, it is destined to be a bloody sleepless night.

When Chu Bingsong rushed to Dali Temple and said that he wanted to collect Chu Qitai's body, the Taoist priest had already been taken away by Zhao Xuanyi, Chu Bingsong was surprised, and hurriedly sent a message to Zhao Xunyan, and Jiao Simiao gave an order directly.

"Kill three." Jiao Simiao looked at the family of three who were wearing old cotton clothes and living by the charcoal brazier placed at the entrance of the Yang Mansion, and said coldly.

The man dressed as a homeless person nodded, dragging a dagger in his hand and slowly approached, and after a while, the door of the Yang Mansion was first plunged into a panic and screams

General Yang didn't wear a robe either. rushed out directly with a knife, but the family of three who fell in a pool of blood at the door was silent.

General Yang held back his eyes red, looked at the homeless people full of cowardice in front of him, and then looked at the family whose necks had been cut off on the ground, and shouted: "Who did it!" ”

One of the displaced people said timidly: "That person seems to be from the Yang Mansion, and he can't bear to see the general dumping all his family property to help us untouchables, so"

Before the man's words were finished, General Yang shouted: "Lead my horse, I must catch this beast today!" ”

"General" was busy with someone to persuade.

Old General Yang glared at him coldly, his eyes were swollen and painful: "Are you going or not!" Anyone who disobeys orders tonight will be punished by military law! "He went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it was helpless, but he couldn't bear it when he saw the unarmed innocent people die in front of him like this.

His horse was led, and one of the homeless people bowed his head and pointed in the direction of the city gate: "Go in that direction, saying that there is a large group of homeless people outside the city, and they must be killed!" ”

"Bastard King Eight Lambs!" Old General Yang cursed. And he rode away alone.

Zhao Xuanyi is here, and the Taoist priest is also mentioned in the dungeon by him.

"I'm not going to say anything, you're going to die of this heart!" The Taoist priest looked like he was going home.

Zhao Xuanyi said in a deep voice, and was about to be tortured, but Yang Ci said: "The daughter of Wang Yuanwai's family is still waiting for you to go back, you died like this, are you worthy of her?" ”

The Taoist priest was obviously shocked, and looked at Yang Ci in a daze: "You, how do you know her" This Taoist priest is not a Taoist priest, just an ordinary farmer, but since he saw the Miss Wang family one day, he seemed to have lost his soul, and tried to pretend to be a Taoist priest to sneak into the palace, and deceived Miss Wang's pearl fetus, but fortunately, Miss Wang's father was a daughter who loved his daughter, and after knowing it, he forced her to take abortion pills and planned to marry her, but she swore not to marry. In a fit of rage, Wang Yuanwai broke her legs and kept her in the room all year round, never seeing anyone again. After he was kicked out of the county seat by Wang Yuanwai, he had to cheat money everywhere, waiting to go back to marry her, but until now, twenty years have passed, and he has no face to go back.

"Don't care how I know, if you can tell the truth today, I can still let you meet that Miss Wang, if not"

"Let me die, I have no shame to see her again"

"Then you want her to die too? See you in the underworld? Zhao Xuanyi said suddenly.

Yang Ci was surprised, and the Taoist priest was shocked: "She has suffered too much for me, don't touch her again."

"Then tell the truth!" Zhao Xuanyi's expression was cold, if it weren't for Yang Ci saying that this person knew the big secret, he wouldn't have the intention of interrogating him personally.

The Taoist priest hesitated, but his only weakness was pinched: "I am willing to say, but after I finish speaking, you must help me save her life, and then kill me." ”

"Good!"

Yang Ci was about to continue listening, when news suddenly came from outside.

"Prince, young general, old general Yang rode to the city gate."

"What!" Yang Ci was shocked, Zhao Xuanyi was a little strange, why was Yang Ci so surprised: "What's the matter, can't you go to the city gate?" ”

"Someone outside the city gate is waiting for us to go out, and then put a hat on the Yang Mansion." Yang Ci said.

"Okay, then you can go." Zhao Xuanyi said.

Yang bowed his head and left in a hurry.

Zhao Xuanyi saw him leave, and his face sank. How did the people of the Yang Mansion be so sure that there were people outside the city who wanted to set them up? How did Yang Ci know the words of the Taoist, could it be that Chu Xi told him everything? That being the case, how did Chu Ji know?

Zhao Xuanyi's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at the Taoist priest: "Who have you ever told about you and Miss Wang?" ”

"The King knows that he is threatening me with this." That Taoist priest said.

Zhao Xuanyi frowned slightly, since only King Xiaoyao knew, how did Yang Ci know, or rather, how did Chu Ji know

When Yang Ci arrived at the gate of the city, the old general Yang had already been stopped, Aunt Hong looked at the angry old general, and said with a faint smile: "The old general doesn't have to be too angry, if you go out of the city, you will fall into someone else's way."

Now, in order to relieve the victims, half of the city gates are left unclosed.

Old General Yang said coldly: "Do you want me to watch him continue to do evil?" ”

Aunt Hong shook her head slightly: "Aren't there officers and soldiers protecting the city here, don't you just let them go out and get people?" ”

"Yes, grandfather, we can't get out." Yang Ci said.

Old General Yang looked at him dissatisfied: "Cowering, are you still the son of my Yang family, how can you get on the battlefield like this!" ”

Yang Ci was reprimanded, but he was not annoyed, and said: "Grandfather, don't forget what the man said, as long as our people from the Yang Mansion go out of the city, there will be no food left." Even if our Yang Mansion has exhausted all its property, we may not be able to buy so many materials. ”

Old General Yang was angry: "Maybe their master is not a good one, using such a shady method"

"Old General Yang, if my master didn't think about your Yang Mansion, he wouldn't have to suffer so much, you keep saying that you are for the people, why are you not talking at all now?" Aunt Hong was also annoyed.

General Yang naturally said this in a hurry, but he was very stubborn and refused to admit his mistake.

"You can't go away! If you don't go away, you're welcome."

"You" Rao is good-natured, and Aunt Hong doesn't know what to say.

Chu Ji and Lin Qingyu sat in the carriage around the corner, she knew that it would be like this, but she didn't expect Zhao Xunyan's methods to be so cruel, using such a method to lure people out.

"Let him go out, don't suffer hardship, the old general's stubborn donkey character will not bend over." Lin Qingyu gently grabbed Chu Xi's hand and said.

"But I'm worried"

"If you care, you're just protecting them too tightly. If there is no chance to take advantage of it. So how can the hand behind the scenes reach out? Lin Qingyu said.

Chu Xi lowered her eyes slightly: "I'm afraid I'll hurt them." She was afraid that once she saw the Yang Mansion being beheaded by the whole house, if so, she would rather not be reborn.

Lin Qingyu grabbed her hand and tightened it: "Don't worry, with me, it will be fine." ”

"But the emperor doesn't allow you"

"Do you think the emperor's people can spy on me?" Lin Qingyu laughed and took her into his arms again: "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine." ”

Hearing his words, Chu Xi closed her eyes slightly, as if she had made a decision, and then she opened the curtain and gave an order to the people outside the carriage.

There was a stalemate at the city gate, and General Yang was about to rush out directly, when he saw someone running over and saying a few words in Aunt Hong's ear, and Aunt Hong turned sideways and got out of the way.

"Since General Yang doesn't believe it, let's go out by myself. But I still have to remind you that if you go out, there will be no food for tomorrow. Aunt Hong said helplessly.

"Hmph." Old General Yang snorted coldly. He took the sword and rode out.

Aunt Hong turned her head to look at Yang Ci: "Young General, go back and get ready." ”

"Is there really going to be an accident?" Yang Ci's face sank.

Aunt Hong chuckled: "This is what the master said, I see that she hasn't missed a thing, believe it or not, I've already brought you the left and right, so I won't accompany you much." With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Yang Ci looked outside the city gate, sighed, turned his horse's head and went back.

Chu Xi looked at the deep night, there seemed to be a smell of blood in the night wind, and the dormant people in the capital were also waiting for an opportunity to move, just waiting for whoever came out first, they would be caught in the net!

At this time, in the hot spring villa, a dark shadow jumped on the roof, looked at the grandmother guarding the door, and circled behind her like a ghost. knocked her unconscious.

Then, the shadow cautiously pushed open the door and headed inside.

The long sword in his hand seemed to glow green, and it looked very oozing, but after walking a little further into the room, he began to notice that something was wrong. There is a strong incense in this room, how can a pregnant woman smoke such a strong incense in the room? And the room is very quiet, not like someone is there.

He took a few more steps forward and felt a little weak all over.

"There is fraud!" As soon as he shouted this sentence, a large net rushed to him behind him. His first reaction was to bite through the poison sac hidden in his mouth, but before he could bite down, he threw a stick on his back and threw him directly to the ground.

Lu Tan looked at the person on the ground with a sneer, turned him over, found out what was hidden in his mouth, and smiled: "It's really a person who is not afraid of death." ”

Suddenly the candle light was lit outside the house, and Jiang Fan came in a hurry. Seeing the man in black lying on the ground, he broke out in a cold sweat: "There really is an assassin." ”

Lu Tanwan'er, remembering that night in the Jiang Mansion, the young lady asked her to prepare these things, I thought it was useless, but I didn't want it to come in handy for a while.

"Let's just kill it." Jiang Fan said angrily, everyone wants to harm this child, Su Guifei and her mother can't move, but this assassin can't stay.

"There's no hurry." Lu Tan said with a smile: "Miss ordered, grab the person, and send it to the prince's mansion immediately." ”

"Prince? In case he confesses"

"Don't worry, Concubine Fang, he is not from the Jiang Mansion or the concubine." Green Sandalwood Road.

Jiang Fan was even more surprised, not only surprised by the identity of this man in black, but also surprised that Chu Xi was so smart, and he had reached the point where he could anticipate things like a god. But fortunately, she was willing to help herself, and she never thought of entering the prince's mansion.

"Okay." Jiang Fan's head was bowed. directly ordered someone to tie up the person, secretly went to the back door to explain to the guards of the villa, and sent him directly to the prince's mansion.

In the capital, ordinary people sleep soundly, but the big people in the capital are holding their breath, waiting for the wind before the mountain rain is coming.
