"Miss Qin, this is the young man Xu you have in mind, right?"
"Talented men and women, very compatible!"
"Yes, Miss Qin has a kind heart, and the marriage is naturally very good. ”
On the outskirts of Chang'an City, a group of ragged men, women and children said word by word.
Qin Keqing, who was carrying a wooden bucket full of rice porridge, suddenly turned crimson when she heard this, she squinted her eyes and looked at Xu Han on the side, and said softly: "Young Master Xu, don't listen to their nonsense..."
"No problem. Xu Han waved his hand and said to those people who were like beggars: "Come quickly, big guy, there are still a lot of rice porridge today, let's divide them." ”
The people were obviously hungry, and they came to me.
But the crowd did not push, but was extremely orderly, with children and women in the front, and young men in the back.
Qin Keqing comes back here almost every day to give porridge, and the refugees who live here are also refugees who have fled from all over the place, and the kind-hearted Qin Keqing quickly won the respect of these people, many people are willing to help Qin Keqing maintain law and order, and even many people will spontaneously help Qin Keqing lift these heavy objects at this time of the day.
Today, Xu Han finished cooking things, and when he had free time, he thought about coming over to take a look, and he had that scene.
"I heard that these days, Tiance Mansion is investigating the case of the Taifu and Zhisu Neishi, and Chang'an City is full of storms, and I don't know what the result is. ”
"Alas, this is finally someone who is willing to help us people speak, but don't be harmed by those bastards again. ”
"Yes, Miss Keqing, you are from Tiance Mansion, do you know what the situation is recently, tell everyone!"
A group of people sat around Qin Keqing with hot rice porridge and asked.
Hearing this, Qin Keqing looked at Xu Han beside her with some hesitation, but the other party nodded at her.
Qin Keqing said with peace of mind: "Don't worry, the Mansion Master will definitely solve this matter, and the Tiance Mansion will be fine." ”
"Really, that's great!" These ordinary people didn't have too many complicated thoughts, and when they heard Qin Keqing's words, they were naturally convinced of this, and their faces were happy.
"Don't worry, the lord of the mansion also told me that the seized fields can be arranged in a few days, and this year's spring looks pretty good, and these fields can be distributed to you at that time, except for paying taxes on time, the rest of the income is everyone's own, and Tiance Mansion will not take a penny." ”
Seeing this, Qin Keqing said again, as soon as these words came out, these people were naturally overjoyed.
If it is not a last resort, who wants to live on the charity of others? To have a few acres of land is the foundation for these people to live in peace.
For a while, there was laughter and laughter in the suburbs of Chang'an City.
......
"Xu Gongzi, thank you. ”
After finishing the rice porridge, Qin Keqing, who was walking with Xu Han on the way home, suddenly spoke.
Xu Han was stunned when he heard this, "What's wrong?"
"Willing to give those poor people a way to live. Qin Keqing said sincerely.
"Who wants to be a beggar unless they have to? Xu Han responded with a smile.
"But if it's the Long Night Division..."
Xu Han squinted his eyes and turned his head to look at the girl with a worried face: "What's the matter?"
How could Qin Keqing withstand Xu Han's teasing, her face turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand anxiously, "No, it's just..."
The situation of Tiance is not optimistic, and the Tiance Mansion, which has made enemies everywhere, finally pulled the Yuwen royal family into his chariot, but in the past few days, although Xu Han has dispatched almost all the forces of the Tiance Mansion, he has not really shaken the foundation of the Gu Zhao family, but some royal families have fallen one after another. Even Qin Keqing, who was not very involved in these battles, could see that Tiance Mansion seemed to have been at a disadvantage in this game.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet the two of you here. ”
Just when Xu Han was about to say something, an old voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, turned their heads to look, but saw that there was an old man standing behind them who was looking at them with kind eyebrows, but it was one of the nine kings of the Great Zhou, Zong Zhengyu Wencheng, who was in charge of the royal internal affairs.
"Xu Han has seen Master Zongzheng. Xu Han, who came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted Yu Wencheng respectfully. And Qin Keqing also squatted slightly, but there was a touch of color in his eyes, thinking that when he arrived in Chang'an, the strange behavior of this Lord Zongzheng made Qin Keqing quite incomprehensible.
"Huh. Yu Wencheng nodded with a smile in return, he looked the two up and down, and naturally saw the wooden barrel they were carrying. "I heard that Miss Qin has a kind heart, and she goes back to the outskirts of the city every day to give porridge to the people, if I have more people like Miss Qin in Da Zhou, it will be good. ”
Yu Wencheng sighed, and looked Qin Keqing up and down vigorously, and the expression of appreciation in his eyes was beyond words.
Xu Han's senses for this Lord Zongzheng were not bad, but at this moment, the way he looked at Qin Keqing made Xu Han a little uncomfortable, so he stepped forward at that time, blocked between Qin Keqing and Yu Wencheng, and said: "There are a lot of affairs in the house, if Lord Zongzheng has nothing else to do, he will retire here." ”
Xu Han said this, didn't wait for Yu Wencheng to respond, turned around and pulled Qin Keqing to leave.
"Is it true? The old man has been looking forward to a lot of luck recently, and he wanted to discuss it with the lord of the mansion, but since the lord of the mansion is busy with affairs, it seems that he can only choose a day. Lao Zongzheng shook his head with regret, but there was a smile in his squinted eyes.
Xu Han's departing steps suddenly froze in place.
Then he turned his head to look at Na Yu Wencheng, the expression on his face was gloomy, but Lao Zongzheng looked at him with a smile, his expression was calm.
This kind of scene made Qin Keqing, who was an outsider, confused for a while, and wanted to ask, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at the two of them with an inexplicable expression.
......
Meng Liang stood in front of the gate of Tiance Mansion and thought about it for a long time.
He stretched out his hand several times to knock on the door of Tiance Mansion, but he felt that something was wrong, and he always took back his outstretched hand.
For this reason, he had been standing in front of the gate of the Tiance Mansion for a full quarter of an hour, but he still did not muster up the courage.
But going on like this is not the way to go on after all, Meng Liang told himself that a man who can entrust Fang Ziyu for life should not be so cowardly. Thinking of the girl's lovely face, Meng Liang plucked up his courage again, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door of the mansion in front of him.
Squeak.
Only this time, the hand was stretched out, but the door of the Tiance Mansion was pushed open by itself.
"Huh?" The two people inside and outside the mansion looked at each other at that time, and they were both stunned.
"Miss Ye. However, Meng Liang was the first to react, and respectfully arched his hand towards Ye Hongjian.
"Meng Gongzi. Ye Hongjian also returned the salute.
"Miss Ye is going out?" Meng Liang tried to find some topics to talk about, so that the atmosphere on the field at the moment would not be too embarrassing.
"Is Meng Gongzi looking for Ziyu? She's in the house, you can go." Ye Hongjian saw through the other party's mind at a glance, squinted his eyes and smiled.
Thinking carefully about Meng Liang, who was pierced by others, tried his best to put on a calm appearance, he nodded slowly.
"Thank you, Miss Ye. After that, he slowly staggered Ye Hongjian's body, and the next moment he shook off and ran quickly towards the courtyard.
Ye Hongjian smiled bitterly and looked at the back of Meng Liang's departure, shook his head, and sighed sadly: "Alas..."
I wanted to say something, but I thought of something, and the words that came to my mouth stopped abruptly, turning into an increasingly long sigh: "Alas......"
......
"Ahh ”
"Alas, no, little Momo, your sword is too slow. ”
"Ahh ”
"Alas, this move was too hasty. ”
"Ahh ”
"The sword intent is not enough. ”
"Ahh ”
"The sword is insufficient. ”
It's getting late, and it's time for dinner.
Everyone in the Tiance Mansion was eating in the arranged door, and the noisy door of the mansion during the day fell silent at this time.
Only a clear voice still resounded.
Meng Liang heard it clearly, the owner of the voice was the person he was looking for, he followed the sound, but saw that in front of the martial arts stage, a girl crossed Erlang's legs, swallowed melon seeds, and pointed at a girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old on the martial arts stage. The young girl was sweating profusely and panting at the moment, but she still held her sword and gritted her teeth and insisted on swinging sword flowers.
"Ziyu!" Although it was strange what they were doing, Meng Gongzi, who saw his sweetheart, didn't think much about it, and hurried to the girl's side.
"Well, you're here, surnamed Meng!" The girl saw Meng Liang, threw the melon seed shell in her hand to the ground casually, then looked back at the girl on the stage and said, "Now, clean up the ground." You'll be able to go to dinner. ”
The girl looked reluctant when she heard this, but finally gritted her teeth, bent down and began to pick up the melon shells on the ground.
After saying that, Fang Ziyu didn't look at the girl, but walked up to Meng Liang and asked, "What did you bring me to eat today?"
In Chang'an for more than a month, every time Meng Liang came to look for Fangziyu, he always thought of ways and changed tricks to bring various gifts to Fangziyu, and among these, the most satisfying thing for Fangziyu was all kinds of snacks and melons and fruits.
"Uh..." Meng Liang heard this, but the expression on his face was stagnant at that time, and it became a little ugly. "It's in a hurry... Forgot..."
He spoke with a lot of guilt, as if he had made some unforgivable mistake.
Fang Ziyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, just bring it to me next time." ”
Her generosity made Meng Liang's heart even more guilty, he lowered his head, and was silent for a long time before he said softly: "But... I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future. ”
"Huh?" Fang Ziyu was stunned, she tilted her head to look at Meng Liang, who was looking depressed, and asked playfully, "Why?"
"I was originally ordered to come to Chang'an to report about Xuanji's accession to the throne, Chen Guoguo and Xuanji and his father are here, so I don't have to worry about it, so there is no problem with how long I stay, but... Cui Ting led the troops to attack Changwu Pass, and King Fengxing was ordered to fight, but he was defeated and retreated, and now Changwu Pass is in danger, I'm afraid..."
Saying this, Meng Liang's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally it was almost inaudible.
And as his words fell, the atmosphere between the two fell silent.
For a moment, it seemed that even the air fell silent.
Ziyu must be very sad.
Meng Liang thought about this, his head sank even lower, he didn't dare to look up, he was afraid that as soon as he looked up, he would see the girl's crying face.
Just when Meng Liang's heart was about to be overwhelmed by guilt.
"It's okay. Fang Ziyu's voice suddenly came.
Meng Liang was stunned for a moment, looked up, but saw Fang Ziyu tilting his head and looking at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth. She bent her eyes, her narrowed pupils reflected the starlight in the sky, and the black hair on her forehead was raised in the night wind, and the tips of the hair blew to the tip of his nose, and the faint sound lingered, making Meng Liang a little distracted at that moment.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to Chen Guo? When you settle down, then Cui Ting will come and pick me up. The girl's voice rang out again.
At that moment, Meng Liang's heart was almost filled with emotion, he looked straight at the girl in front of him, and had to use all his strength to suppress the urge to embrace her in his arms at this moment.
"Okay, don't be sad, you brought me so many delicious foods, I'll take you to eat even better ones today, don't worry, I'm in for a treat." The girl smiled sweetly at that time, pulled Meng Liang, who was still stunned, and walked towards the outside of Tiance Mansion.
......
Xu Han finally compromised.
He took Qin Keqing to Yu Wencheng's mansion.
This mansion gate still hasn't changed much, and it seems that the cleaning of the royal family by the Long Night Division has not affected the old man in the slightest.
The couplet that Mo asked for provenance still hung high in the door.
"The world is devastated, and pride has never been stormy. ”
"The people's suffering, why should future generations say that their reputation is famous. ”
And reading these only 20 words at the moment, Xu Han inexplicably felt a little different from before.
"The fact that the lord of the mansion and Miss Qin can come to my mansion really makes the humble house shine. As soon as he sat down, the master raised his glass and laughed.
Xu Han saw that the old man kept his mouth shut about the dragon qi, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but it was not good to tear his face, so he could only echo it and raise a glass to him at that time.
"These days, the Lord of the Xu Mansion has been investigating the affairs of Gu Zhao's second family, and he has been quite busy, so he should have encountered a lot of trouble. After a glass of wine, Yu Wencheng asked with a smile.
It was a word of concern, but the words made Xu Han's heart skip a beat.
"Well, Gu Sijin and Zhao Xingzheng have been working in Chang'an for many years, and they have formed an intricate network of relationships in Chang'an City, and it is indeed not easy to pull them out. Xu Han responded quietly.
"That's natural, if it's not difficult, how can you let the mansion master take action. Yu Wencheng nodded with a smile, but the conversation changed at that time, the smile on his face suddenly dissipated, and he asked with a solemn expression: "It's just that the little old man really has something to understand?"
"What?"
"The evidence provided by the clansmen, whether it is human or physical evidence, can be said to be everything, with the ability of the Lord of the Xu Mansion, how can nothing be found in the past ten days?" Yu Wencheng asked in a deep voice.
Xu Han smiled faintly, he quietly poured himself a glass of sake and said: "It seems that Lord Zongzheng is not going to discuss anything with Xu today, but on behalf of the clan relatives and masters, he is here to ask for guilt." ”
Xu's cold and quiet demeanor made Yu Wencheng's brows furrow slightly, "In less than ten days, dozens of clan relatives have been imprisoned, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such a thing has never happened, what does the Lord of the Xu Mansion want?"
"Lord Zongzheng, what are these words? Zhu Shouza is an important minister of the Great Zhou, and the Gongsun he appointed has always been cautious in doing things, and the clan relatives who were imprisoned by him have all read the file, and there are no unjust cases, and there are indeed some problems..."
Xu Han's attitude is still not salty.
This made Yu Wencheng feel that he had exerted all his strength, but it was like slapping on a sponge, and it could not have any substantial impact on Xu Han.
"Lord Xu, those are all His Majesty's clan relatives, and they are the face of my Great Zhou. Lao Zongzheng's voice finally sank at that time, and it was a little terrifying.
"How is the clan relative?" asked Xu Han with a calm expression.
Yu Wencheng has been in Chang'an City Mansion for many years, and then he came to his senses, he pointed at Xu Hanyan and said, "Are you going to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
The atmosphere in the hall became tense along with Yu Wencheng's scolding, but Qin Keqing on the side didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively fell silent at that time, looking at the old and the young.
"Zongzheng reasoned with me, and I reasoned with Zongzheng. ”
"Zong Zheng wants to talk to me about face, so Xu will talk to Zong Zheng about this face. ”
"Since the Changye Division took power, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been living in poverty, and there have been famines in the four prefectures of You, Hebei, Qing, and Chong, and it is true that the Long Night Division has brought disaster to the country and the people, so what about the clan relatives? What are you doing? The frozen bones on the side of the road, the white-haired pawns outside the plug, and the displaced escapees, can't you see or hear them?"
Xu Han stood up abruptly at that time, and he said in a cold voice, and the aura around him was also cold at that time.
"Face? What does Lord Zongzheng think is the face of a dynasty? Is it the brocade clothes and jade food of the emperor's family, or the day and night sheng songs in the capital?"
"Neither. ”
"It is the food and stomach of the people, the rest and dwelling, and the cold and clothing. ”
"There are no beggars on the road, there is no grass in the fields, and there is no displacement in the world!"
"That's face!"
"The predicament of the Great Zhou is unforgivable, and the clan relatives are also accomplices of their peers in Xu's eyes, and they are helping the tiger and the ghost. Such a person, I wish the first seat wants to clean up, and Xu is naturally happy to see it. ”
"Since the clan relatives want the Tiance Mansion to reshape the Great Zhou, then they have to act according to the rules of my Tiance Mansion. ”
"And the first article of the Tiance Mansion is that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people!"
Xu Han's words came out of his mouth like a series of cannonballs, and the Zongzheng lord's face was ugly at that time, and finally he sat down in his seat, his face pale and silent.
After Xu Han said this, he lost the temperament to talk to Yu Wencheng, he pulled up Qin Keqing on the side, and said, "Thank you for Lord Zongzheng's hospitality today, Xu will leave." ”
After that, Xu Han led Qin Keqing, who was still a little unconscious, and was about to leave.
"Lord, please stay. Just as Xu Han was about to walk out of the door, that Yu Wencheng suddenly called.
"Huh?"
Xu Han stopped and looked back.
Lao Zongzheng said with a wry smile on his face at that time, "I am not deceiving the lord of the mansion, I have indeed gained something from the recent hope." ”
Xu Han didn't say anything when he heard this, but continued to look at the old man lightly.
The wry smile on Yu Wencheng's face was even worse, and he said in a deep voice: "The dragon is about to die, the real dragon is in the world, and ten thousand pythons are dormant, and the scales are returning to the sect." ”
After saying that, the old man, who was almost old, knelt down at that moment.
"Please also ask the lord of the mansion to be merciful outside the law, and don't add more killings. ”
Xu Han was silent for a long time, and finally nodded at that time.
"I see. ”
