Liang Rushi was embarrassed when he was brought back to the spice shop by Zhou Zhenzhen, and was thrown in the firewood room by five flowers, and the door was closed, saying that every day should not be called the ground and the ground is not working

Banxian followed Zhou Zhenzhen and asked into the house.

"Landlord, why did you get him?"

"It's called a no-brainer. This guy is now embattled. Donggong and Li Anhuai are looking for him, and it is a dead end for him to fall into anyone's hands. I have saved him now, and it is his creation. ”

Zhou Zhenzhen pushed open the door, the candlelight in the room was dim, and the smell of Chinese medicine was still wafting in the air.

Seeing Zhou Zhenzhen sit down the bench and sit down halfway, she hurriedly stepped forward and pushed the medicine bowl on the edge of the table to the middle.

"How's the injury?" Zhou Zhenzhen asked.

"Thank you for your concern, it's much better."

Zhou Zhenzhen muttered softly and began to look around. Half String immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Eleven went to find out the news tonight and hasn't returned yet, the landlord will wait for a while."

"Something happened in Huzhou again?"

Half String did not deny it but did not affirm it, but said:

"Eleven just thinks that there is a problem with the Huzhou granary, and she can't know until she comes back."

"Good. You sit down and rest for a while, and we'll be fine, and it's okay to wait. ”

Banxian thanked him, lifted his robe and sat down.

Zhou Zhenzhen poured herself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.

Half-string looked sideways and accosted her.

"Landlord, the Huzhou General Military Office is still hanging your wanted notice at the gate of the city, your trip is too dangerous, otherwise you should go back to Beijing first, here are me and Eleven."

"Where are there still people in Shangjing right now, I'm afraid that all the big people related to the grain and grass corruption case will come to Huzhou. Wouldn't I miss out on a good show if I leave now? ”

"Then what is the next arrangement for the landlord? This Liang has been arrested by you, we can force him to tell everything, why can't he defeat Li Anhuai. ”

"Liang is very important, but Li Anhuai is not a vegetarian. I killed the man he sent tonight, and I don't know he will make any other moves, and we have already scared the snake, so we must not show up easily. Some things still have to be left to the people of the imperial court. ”

Banxian seemed to understand: "You mean that we will join forces with the imperial court?" However, the imperial court does not know about the official bank now, and we are afraid that it will cause trouble. ”

Zhou Zhenzhen is as stable as Mount Tai, "The crown prince Li Mo has a weak personality, but his son Li Jingwen is a rare emperor, and he can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"King Yong is coming?"

"That's right, tomorrow."

"Your subordinates understand, you don't want to join forces with the imperial court, but with Li Jingwen."

Zhou Zhenzhen glanced at her and said with a light smile: "Half string, your martial arts are good, but your brain is still not as flexible as Eleven." ”

was embarrassed by Zhou Zhenzhen's words, and hung her head in embarrassment.

"Landlord, I, I really can't understand what is going on in officialdom. You're not disgusted with me, are you? ”

"Not really. It's best if you don't understand, officialdom is the most dangerous, I hope you won't be contaminated and don't understand for the rest of your life. ”

Half String looked at her, and through her eyes saw the misery that had been sealed for a long time.

Over the years, she has not been sad or happy, so that others cannot easily guess her heart. But only the first few people who followed her knew what Zhou Zhenzhen had experienced.

"Landlord, can you completely defeat Li Anhuai after this incident? Isn't it okay to go back to Jinyu Building with us and stop meddling in these things? ”

Zhou Zhenzhen shook her head and looked at him, but in the end she just smiled indifferently and didn't speak.

She got up, paced out of the courtroom, and stood under the porch to look up

- The night is as thick as splashing ink, and the sky is getting more and more gloomy tonight, and it feels like a storm is coming.

"After a few more rains, it's going to be hot on this day. Winter is going to spring, and I can't remember how many years it is......"

She lowered her eyes, her eyes were already moist, and her heart was surging:

Ah Weng, brother, sister-in-law, it's almost ...... Wait for me.

……

"Father, don't send your sons away, your sons will be obedient and obedient, and they will become what you like! Father, I'm not leaving! Father! Mother! ”

"Ah Xing, Ah Xing."

"Mother?"

Shen Yanbai pushed open the door of the hall, and in the empty hall, only the incense burner on the table was filled with smoke. White screens lined up the entire hall. At the very back of the screen, a woman cried and called Shen Yanbai's words.

Shen Yanbai stretched out his hand to push open the screens, his vision became more and more trance-like, but the woman's call gradually became clear.

"Mother, don't you want me too?"

"This is your father's decision, for yourself and for ...... For me. Go, leave Chang'an. ”

"I don't want it! Do you hate me that much! ”

"Ah Xing, you go, my mother begs you! If you don't leave, I'll die! ”

Shen Yanbai watched through the screen as the kid retreated step by step, and finally stumbled and fell down the steps and rolled several times in embarrassment. He got up again and cried out in spite of it.

"I hate you! I hate you guys! I hate you guys to death! ”

He wiped the tears from his face, turned around and ran. Shen Yanbai stretched out his hand to stop it, but the kid passed directly through his body.

Shen Yanbai was stunned and looked at his hands blankly. The kid who had just run out suddenly made him feel a pain in his heart, as if something was slipping away quietly, and he couldn't catch it.

However, the moment he turned his head, all the screens around him disappeared. But the main hall is still empty, without the slightest popularity.

Suddenly, the woman on the side of the bed shook the cradle and hummed a ballad softly-

"The owl of the owl is humiliated by the public. The feather of the owl, the male in the field, the horse of feeding. The crane is trampling, the public is in the Qianhou, and the levy is stumbling and undergarment. The nest of the owl is far away; Chou's father was mourned, and Song's father was proud. Singing and crying. ”

The voice is poignant, without the slightest hint of joy.

Shen Yanbai gently raised his feet and walked towards the bed, and the woman's face gradually became clear in front of his eyes.

"Mother concubine ......" Shen Yanbai called out the long-lost title.

He walked over and slowly crouched down, and at a glance, there was no child in the cradle but a black urn.

His mother was lying beside the cradle like that, crying, shaking the cradle, and not seeing the person in front of her.

"The Bird of the Duck, the ...... of Public Disgrace"

"Mother, it's me! I'm Ah Xing. Mother, look at me. ”

Shen Yanbai stretched out his hand to straighten the woman's body. The woman stopped muttering, but slowly raised her eyes to stare at him.

"Ah Xing...... My Ah Xing ......"

Shen Yanbai smiled and suddenly cried.

"Yes, I'm your Ah Xing."

The woman slowly raised her hand and stroked his cheek, looking at him earnestly.

"Shen Zhixing, why do you have to be surnamed Shen?"

This sentence was like five thunderbolts, which caught Shen Yanbai off guard.

"Why do you have to be surnamed Shen! Why wasn't you the one who died!! If you're dead, he'll be back!! ”

She's crazy!

grabbed Shen Yanbai's neck and pushed him to the ground. The face is fierce, and the eyes are scarlet.

"I'm going to kill you! I'll kill you! Why you?! Why you! ”

……

"Mother! No! Mother, mother! ”

Shen Yanbai woke up suddenly, and sat up all of a sudden, his pillow already soaked with cold sweat.

Trembling, he pulled his trembling hands out of the futon and covered his cheeks and buried his head in his knees.

When he raised his face again, his hands were full of tears.

He hadn't shed tears in years.

He lost his mind, wiped the tears on his face and the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, immediately turned over and got out of bed to the basin, and picked up a few handfuls of cold water to sober himself up.

Looking at the reflection of the ripples in the basin, he closed his eyes deeply, and it took a long time for him to fully recover.

It was past hour when I walked out of the station. In the courtyard of the post station, Qin Song was setting up the carriage, and Changfu was waiting by the carriage with his baggage.

Shen Yanbai walked out, and Changfu immediately ran over to greet him with a smile.

"Your Highness, you are awake! Haven't you had breakfast yet? ”

He quietly took out two meat buns from his arms and stuffed them into Shen Yanbai's hands, which were still hot.

"It just came out of the oven this morning, Your Highness eat it quickly."

Changfu smiled honestly, and habitually instigated his fingers after generously handing out the meat buns.

"Thank you." Shen Yanbai patted him on the shoulder, picked up the meat bun and took a big bite.

Inside the carriage, Li Jingwen lifted the curtain lightly and looked at him.

"Brother Zhixing, if he sleeps for another hour, this king will leave with Qin Song first."

Shen Yanbai coughed a few times, almost choking on the meat bun he swallowed. He knew that Li Jingwen was connotating himself.

He walked over with a meat bun and leaned against the carriage to answer him.

"I know that Brother Zimu will not abandon me."

"Hmph, not necessarily." Li Jingwen is full of tsundere.

He lifted the curtain and ignored him.

Qin Song had already set up the carriage, "Your Highness, everything is ready, we can go." ”

"Then let's go."

Shen Yanbai finished eating the last bite of the meat bun, patted the oil on his hand, jumped directly into the carriage and squeezed in.

Huzhou City.

As always, there was a soup kitchen at the gate of the city, but the number of victims continued to increase.

Zhou Zhenzhen sat on an abandoned tea stall on the street, and she didn't even glance at the comings and goings of the victims on the street.

Eleven walked out of the crowd and saw Zhou Zhenzhen at a glance. She hurried over and sat down.

"Landlord, there are many people here, why don't we go back to the spice shop to discuss things?"

"Wait for someone."

"Waiting for whom?" Eleven asked, looking around.

"The enemy who is waiting for me. Today, no matter how long it takes, you have to wait. ”

"Enemies?" Eleven was puzzled.

Zhou Zhenzhen glanced at Eleven, and Eleven immediately reacted. She looked down and smiled.

"The fate of the landlord and the four princes is really not shallow."

"What fate is not shallow, if it weren't for the sake of bringing down Li Anhuai, maybe we would never have crossed paths in our lives. What kind of fate is this? ”

That's not what I said. Although Shen Yanbai was the person selected by the East Palace, he was also selected by the landlord. If the landlord wants him to choose, I know that he will not choose you. ”

Zhou Zhenzhen raised her eyes and shook her head, "The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." I'm just using him. ”

"Okay, then the subordinate won't talk about it. The subordinates will talk about the granary of Huzhou. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Zhenzhen also became serious and withdrew her thoughts that she shouldn't have.

"I went into the granary last night and found that there was half a warehouse of grain in it, and this kind of reserve did not look like it was in a disaster at all."

"No way, I checked that day, the grain has already bottomed out, and they can't conjure food out of thin air."

"I'm curious about that, too, but they seem to have other ways to get food."

Zhou Zhenzhen's fingers slammed down on the dusty table, and her brain spun rapidly.

"Eleven, are there any forces in the vicinity?"

Eleven thought for a while and replied: "The power is not to be talked about, but there is a bandit den called Yunjiazhai outside Huzhou City." Landlord, does this have anything to do with this? ”

"Maybe there is." Zhou Zhenzhen opened her mouth mysteriously, and immediately ordered: "Eleven, take people to Yunjiazhai and find out all their details for me." ”

"Yes, landlord! I'll go now. ”
