In the afternoon of this day, Yunzhu ordered the deacon's eunuch to bury Fangfang, changed into colorful clothes, put on plain clothes, and ordered the eunuch to prepare a carriage and go to the deep courtyard according to the eldest brother's suggestion.

After the rain in the afternoon, the ashes of Hongyu are still in the mourning hall, and someone will take them away tomorrow and send them to Dongsheng Kingdom, according to which the funeral has not yet been completed, and the deep courtyard is still plain white, which also responds to Yunzhu's dress, or has experienced two life and death, although she does not have Fangfang's protection this time, Yunzhu has no timidity, and only brought two silver-armored knights to follow.

She knew that the young master's family was holding a funeral, so she had a lot of rules, and asked the guards to report in front of the door, instead of entering by herself. Only the housekeeper came out to greet him, not the master.

After asking, I found out that after the master sent back the ashes, he and Wu regret went out of the deep courtyard, and did not say where to go.

Yunzhu wanted to comfort the master, but the person was not there, so he had to go to please Yan Li.

"Can you be in the courtyard?" Yunzhu asked.

"Back to Lord Weng, Yunzhu is practicing martial arts in the courtyard." The butler replied.

"Take me there."

The housekeeper led Yunzhu to the backyard, and saw that Yanli was posing with a beautiful young girl who was not inferior to red jade, and her words and deeds were full of kindness, as if she had known each other for a long time.

Yunzhu couldn't help but be jealous when she saw this, but she couldn't let go of such an opportunity to please Yanli, so she asked the housekeeper to get busy and walked to Yanli by herself.

Seeing Yunzhu coming, Yanli stopped practicing martial arts, pulled Huyan Qiuchu to greet him and saluted, "Sister Weng is good." ”

Qiu Chu didn't know that it was the lord of Weng, and he hurriedly saluted when he was reminded by the salute.

Yun Zhu came to him and squatted down and asked, "I've suffered you for the past few days, don't be too sad, I will often come to visit you and bring all the delicious food in Jiangyang City." ”

How could a five-year-old child resist the temptation of eating and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Lord Weng, when I grow up, I will definitely repay my sister." ”

"Xiaozui is really good at talking, let me ask you, who is this sister?" Yunzhu looked at Huyan Qiuchu on the side and asked.

"It's my father's sister and my master." Words and manners are full of a little ostentation of this cordial relationship.

Yun Zhu was displeased when she heard it, but she didn't know when she learned to be patient, and she still said kindly:

"Yanli, this is apprenticeship and martial arts?"

"Well, learn the world's martial arts and avenge your mother."

"At a young age, you have to bear this kind of hatred, which really hurts you."

After speaking, Yunzhu got up and asked Qiu Chu, "Dare to ask the name of the chivalrous woman." ”

"Hui Weng Lord, a native of Donghai County, Shengdong, Xiadong, Huyan Qiuchu." Qiu Chu hurriedly bowed and replied.

"The beauty of birth is also Ran's apprentice, and she envy good people, I wonder if Miss Huyan Qiuchu can get married?"

"Unmarried."

"The son-in-law of the eunuch family doesn't know if it's a good match, why don't I introduce it to the girl?"

"Thank you, Lord Weng, the little girl doesn't want to marry yet." Qiu Chu replied.

"Hey, how can there be a woman who doesn't want to marry, I'm afraid there is someone in my heart." Yunzhu quipped.

As soon as these words came out, Huyan Qiuchu instantly blushed, and she couldn't hold anyone in her heart except for the master.

"Lord Weng laughed." Although Qiu Chu blushed, he shirked it.

"Hehe, look at the girl's blushing." Yun Zhu followed and said.

"Let the lord see it and laugh."

"Hey, human nature. In Lingshi Palace, my father said that he wanted to go to the palace to study, and today I came to meet my nephew in the palace. ”

"Listen to Lord Weng." After Huyan Qiuchu finished speaking, he said to Yanli again.

"Yanli is here for today's practice, and you will follow Lord Weng into the palace in a while. When your father returns, I will tell him where you are going. ”

Yanli was still stunned to watch the two sisters go back and forth talking about things that only adults can understand, and suddenly the two sisters turned the topic to themselves again, and they were about to enter the palace, and when they were still hesitating, the master's words made Yanli obediently say goodbye to the master and follow Yunzhu away.

After returning to the deep courtyard for lunch, the master hurriedly beckoned Wu Yi to see An Lin. The most luxurious inn in Jiangyang in the inner city - Fulaidon, on the third floor, is in the guest room facing the sun.

An Lin drank some wine and was blurred, and suddenly heard the shopkeeper leading people towards the room, thinking about the words of the master last night, and estimated that it should be the master who came to visit, so he wiped his face with a wet hand towel a little, and then came out of the room to see that it was the master and Wu Xi, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward to greet him.

The three of them came to the house after greetings, and Wu regretted that the store would have some wine and food.

"Mr. Aggrieved lives here temporarily." The master walked into the room and saw that the furnishings in the house were not inferior to the main hall of the deep courtyard, but he still pretended to do it.

"Master said with a smile, this is much more luxurious than the temporary residence of the average son's family, no worse than Jiang Yuan's residence." An Lin said with a smile and poured two cups of tea for the two of them. He also said: "Madame has just been cremated, and the son came to me, so anxious, is there anything that needs me to be in Anlin?" ”

"Don't hide it, sir, I have been assassinated four times since I entered the country, can sir help me sort out which enemies are going to put me to death?" The master asked directly.

"There are too many enemies, and any enemy has enough reasons to kill you." An Lin took a sip of tea lightly, and said in a deep tone.

The young master was puzzled, and then looked at Wu Xi, wanting to confirm whether what An Lin said was exaggerated? Wu regret and the master looked at each other, but his eyes were full of disdain, disdain to take care of this rhetoric, and disdain for An Lin.

"Sir's words are too serious, aren't they?" The master asked.

"Answer me a few questions first, and you'll know if what I'm saying is serious."

"Sir, please."

"How many people in Dongsheng live off iron? And how many people depend on sea salt for their livelihood? An Lin asked.

"I don't know." The master is simply.

An Lin exhaled deeply through his snort, as if he hated the ignorance of the master, or hated the foolishness of the master.

"At least one million households either rely on mines or smelting to survive, and another 500,000 households make a living by drying sea salt, but although these 1.5 million households account for one-tenth of Dongsheng's population, they are all scattered people in the countryside and cannot unite, and the iron they smelt and the sea salt they dry eventually fall into the hands of the three wealthy merchants of Dongsheng. These three wealthy merchants have long been rich through trade with other countries. These young masters won't know about it, right? An Lin asked rhetorically.

"Before entering the Tongguan, an accident lost all my memories, otherwise I wouldn't be called a big fool, I really don't know what you said." The master returned truthfully.

"Anyway, before Gongzi came, he criticized the private sector of iron and salt for hollowing out the treasury of Dongsheng State, and tried to learn that Su Gong took back the economic and strategic power of salt and iron, and changed it into an official camp of salt and iron, so as to increase the revenue of the treasury and reduce the domestic price of iron and salt to benefit the people. It is also the excerpt of this salt and iron official camp that makes you isolated from the ministers of the court and the central government from now on. Because the three wealthy businessmen have already pocketed the important ministers of the court through money and become their mouthpieces in the court. ”

"What the gentleman said is that, except for the three wealthy merchants, all the people who live on salt and iron everywhere regard me as an enemy. If you can take out enough silver taels to hire the Longshan brothers to intercept and kill me, there will be no one else except these three rich merchants. ”

"Childe's analysis is correct, but Gongzi, as the third son of Duke Su, has several enemies who compete for the storage position. There is also a son who is arrogant and arrogant, I don't know how many sons have offended, and they also have a reason to hire a murderer to kill you. An Lin said again.
