Early the next morning.

Dangzhou Zhizhou Prefecture Mansion.

The middle-aged man sat upright on a high seat, wearing a dark purple brocade robe inlaid with gold threads, and was looking down at the report on the affairs of Dangzhou.

Xu Jue sat on the side, casually on the back of the chair, looking out of the hall.

Shen Qiu, the governor of Dangzhou, stood tremblingly.

"His Royal Highness King Rui ......" Shen Qiu swallowed hard.

He had been reading this report for a little too long, so long that Shen Qiu thought that he was going to smash it in his face and execute him soon.

Li Xu loosened his tense shoulders, closed the case report, and looked at Xu Jue, who had not spoken for a long time, and Shen Qiu held the case report with interest.

He squeezed out a smile: "Shizi." ”

Li Xu said: "What does Xu Shizi think? ”

Xu Jue glanced at the case report lazily, did not read it, and said: "Since the emperor asked King Rui to come to Sanzhou, then King Rui has full power, and I just follow." ”

Li Xu smiled, turned to look at Shen Qiu, and said: "Now that a large number of refugees have gathered outside the city and are homeless, they are innocent, and it is not appropriate to turn people away from the city. ”

Shen Qiu glanced at Xu Jue in embarrassment, and when he saw that he didn't move, he stubbornly said, "Your Highness, this is ...... This order not to allow refugees to enter the city was issued by Lord Duwei, and the city gate is also his men, I can't be the master! ”

"Zhu Hongyuan? Then go to his herald. ”

“…… Be. ”

Shen Qiu left in embarrassment.

Xu Jue also stood up: "Your Highness is busy with official business, so I won't bother and go out for a walk." ”

Xu Jue took the guards out of the Zhizhou Yamen.

Ming Yi followed him, and the two walked on the street, and he said as he walked: "Childe, King Rui asked Shen Qiu to find Zhu Hongyuan, can he find it?" I've heard that Zhu Hongyuan is a shaft to death. ”

"Shen Qiu can't transfer Zhu Hongyuan, King Rui will go in person, what is there to worry about."

Ming Yi said: "But if you make such a fuss, will Zhu Hongyuan have any good fruits to eat in the future?" ”

Xu Jue walked leisurely, caught a glimpse of a jewelry shop, and raised his feet to go inside: "It's all things that look at the eyes, King Rui came to Sanzhou to make up for his merits, who is most unwilling to see him get credit?" ”

Ming thought for a moment: "Zhu Hongyuan is Prince De's person?" ”

"Not really." Xu Jue waved his hand and asked the little guy in the store who wanted to step forward to step down: "Zhu Hongyuan is not Prince De's person, but he is too fair as an official, and King Rui's disciple has made such a big move in Sanzhou, Zhu Hongyuan is upright, how can he do what he wants." ”

Xu Jue's eyes fell on a silver jade bracelet: "Moreover, Sanzhou is close to Liangzhou, although it is not the best policy to block refugees outside the city, but it is never a good idea to put them all in the city. ”

Naruto didn't understand: "Then let those refugees stay outside the city?" ”

Xu Jue shook his head and said, "There is a way, but it's just ......."

Xu Jue looked at the jade bracelet repeatedly, the two small bells rang faintly, the silver bracelet was not as good as the jade one, but for some reason, Xu Jue always felt that this bracelet was wearing it on her hand, and it would definitely add color.

Ming Yi saw that he was silent for a long time, and said, "Childe, just what?" ”

Xu Jue imagined Gu Mingzhu wearing a silver bracelet, smiled, looked at him, and said: "It's just that King Rui's current situation can't stand the rumors, and he wants the hearts of the people, and letting refugees into the city is the fastest way to get the hearts of the people." ”

Naruto thought about his words, and suddenly realized.

Xu Jue asked, "How about this bracelet?" ”

Ming Yi was stunned and said, "What did Childe buy this thing for?" It's something that only the girl's family wears. ”

Xu Jue smiled: "What I want is what the girl's family wears." ”

Ming Yi looked at it curiously: "It's a good bracelet, and the color is enough, it seems that it took a lot of effort and craftsmanship." ”

Xu Jue said: "Then it's it." ”

Ming saw that he had taken out the money, and said in hindsight: "Childe, you bought this for the girl?" ”

Xu Jue put the bracelet in his arms, walked out of the door, Ming Yi followed, the two walked all the way, and when they returned to the Zhizhou Yamen, it was past noon, and the yamen was quiet, and some officers and soldiers replied: "Your Highness? His Highness has just gone to the Governor's Mansion. ”

Sure enough, as Xu Jue said, Shen Qiu failed to call Zhu Hongyuan, and King Rui went to the Duwei Mansion in person.

Xu Jue didn't join in the fun, and rested in the back hall of the yamen, until it was almost dark, and there was movement in the front hall.

Ming Yi hurriedly reported: "Son, His Royal Highness King Rui has detained Zhu Hongyuan and said that he will be punished." ”

Xu Jue said: "Punishment is punishment." ”

Ming was stunned and said, "We really don't care?" ”

Xu Jue said: "Why bother? He wants to get into trouble, and I carry it for him, what is the reason? ”

"But ......"

"If you are tired, go to sleep."

Under the order of King Rui, Dangzhou opened the city gate overnight to admit the refugees to the refugee shelter in the city.

Zhu Hongyuan was detained as a prisoner in the Zhizhou Yamen.

It happened in the afternoon of the second day.

In the refugee center where more than 500 people gathered, some people began to fall ill, but they had no money, so they gathered in front of the Zhizhou Yamen and begged the Yamen to ask a doctor to see a doctor.

Li Xu looked at the people with yellow faces and thin muscles, so he ordered Shen Qiu to summon the doctors in the city to treat the refugees.

But the doctors who came all fell ill at night.

Gradually, the disease spread.

The respected old doctor in the city put on a mask, made a diagnosis himself, and then came to a conclusion.

Epidemic disease.

Refugees are being separated.

The whole Dangzhou began to become panicked, and the streets began to become deserted.

Gu Mingzhu listened to the announcement of the spring banquet in the backyard, and finally said, "Epidemic? How can a good one get a disease? ”

The spring banquet said: "A few days ago, Han Shuo had a fierce battle with the officers and soldiers in Baishipo outside the city, most of these people were tired of the war, not because of the disaster, but because of the epidemic. ”

As the saying goes, a great plague must be followed by a great plague, and nine times out of ten, there is no escape from this law throughout the ages.

"Weird."

Chunyan said with a smile: "Now the people in the city are panicking, and some have blocked the gate of Zhizhou, asking King Rui to drive the refugees out of the city." ”

"Oh? What did Lixu say? ”

Chunyan said: "He has arrested all the troublemakers. ”

Gu Mingzhu became interested, she thought about it and asked, "How many people have been arrested?" ”

"Nearly thirty people, the others ran away."

Yue Yan handed over the brewed tea, Gu Mingzhu reached out to take it, and glanced at her.

She rubbed her fingers over the rim of the cup: "That's ......"

"It's a good opportunity." Yue Yan said.

Gu Mingzhu nodded lightly: "It's indeed a good opportunity." ”

"In this way, the Spring Banquet, you will arrange people tomorrow to incite more people to go to the gate of the Zhizhou Yamen to make trouble, the more the better, if Lixu still insists on going his own way, then our opportunity will come."

The spring banquet has to be ordered to go out.

Gu Mingzhu took the tea, turned his head to look at Yue Yan, and said, "This matter still has to be guarded against Han Shuo's group, it is best for Lixu to die at our hands, so that it is the most meaningful." ”

Yue Yan said: "Although they are ordinary people, their strength should not be underestimated, and they can avoid it, and Li Xu is obviously forced to be anxious by doing this." I wondered, how could Xu Shizi let him do this? ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled, was silent for a moment, and said, "I also wonder, it stands to reason that he is not that kind of person." ”

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Gu Mingzhu was silent, Xu Jue may have his concerns in it, but this concern is too complicated, and she can't guess what he is thinking.

Yueyan retreated.

Gu Mingzhu lay on the bed.

What if he obstructs?

Trade-offs...... This problem has reached the point where it is impossible to avoid it.

Xu Jue will not watch Lixu die in Sanzhou, if he sees through the conspiracy and tricks, he will definitely protect his life, no matter what kind of person Lixu is, he is a prince after all.

But you can leave Xu, you have to die!

As soon as Lixu died, Prince De became the only object of suspicion, the court would be chaotic, and Yun Zhao would naturally go to the ministers.

But ...... This is already crumbling, how can he sit firmly?

Yun Zhao, Yun Zhao, I want to make you sit on pins and needles every day, and you can't sleep at night!
