"Don't be stupid, what have you been looking for me all this time?"

Shen Yanbai sat down slowly on the edge of the table and looked at Zhou Zhenzhen tentatively. Zhou Zhenzhen looked sideways, and Shen Yanbai immediately withdrew his gaze.

"Is there anything you can't say about the Fourth Prince?"

"You were the one who saved me in the alley that night?"

"Hmm."

"Then why did I wake up in the Splendid Pavilion at the end?"

"You are so heavy, how can I be dragged by a weak woman, naturally I will find a suitable place to put you down."

Weak woman?

Shen Yanbai didn't believe it after hearing this, and poked out his eyes to look her up and down.

"Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, has anyone ever taught you that it is very impolite to look at a girl with this kind of look." Zhou Zhenzhen reminded him.

Shen Yanbai pursed his lips, "I just think that this woman of yours is full of lies, saying that she wants to cooperate with me, but I still don't know what your surname is, who is from, and where you come from." You also said that I was not sincere, but you found out my details clearly. ”

"It's really my fault. Mingyue, the owner of the Golden Rain Building, came tonight to discuss cooperation with the imperial court. ”

"Golden Rain Building?" Shen Yan was suspicious, "It's the Jin Yulou who claims to be omniscient in the world!?" ”

"Not bad."

Zhou Zhenzhen got up and walked to the window.

Shen Yanbai also got up and asked, "What do you want to cooperate with?" ”

"Exchange Liang Rushi's life for justice for all the people in this disaster. I will help you collect information on the grain draft, and my only request is that His Majesty will open a warehouse and release grain to continue to relieve the people of Huzhou! ”

"You should say this to His Royal Highness King Yong, wouldn't it be a waste of time to talk about this with my proton."

Shen Yanbai's words were a little self-deprecating, but Zhou Zhenzhen didn't think so, she turned to look at Shen Yanbai, and said calmly: "What I'm looking for is you, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Yanjing." ”

Shen Yanbai was obviously stunned.

"You've been through so many ups and downs since you were five years old, and you're still safe and sound, and it turns out that you're not as incompetent as rumored to be. King Yong is too shrewd, how can I get a benefit from cooperating with him. I am a Jianghu person, and I have to repay what I do. ”

"Why do you think I'm going to help you?"

Zhou Zhenzhen chuckled, took out a secret letter with a gold clay tin seal from behind her, Shen Yanbai's eyes widened, and asked, "How can you have a letter from my imperial brother!?" ”

After saying that, he went to grab it, but Zhou Zhenzhen took a step back, just let him take a look and stuffed the secret letter back into his waist.

"It turned out to be a letter from His Highness's brother! At first, I didn't believe it when my men intercepted it. It's just that the fourth prince has been in contact with Yanjing for many years as a proton, which will make people feel that Yanjing harbors evil intentions. At that time, the fourth prince, your situation will not be even more difficult. ”

Shen Yan's pale face turned green, he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Okay, you won." ”

"Don't be angry, I'm here to talk about cooperation. If the cooperation goes well, I will naturally return the letter to His Highness. ”

Shen Yanbai was pinched by Zhou Zhenzhen for seven inches, even if he was so angry that he took off on the spot, he was helpless.

……

In Li Jingwen's guest room, Qin Song was holding a sword, which was standing on Eleven's neck at the moment.

Eleven places became unsurprised, looked sideways at Qin Song, and said indifferently:

"Disciple Eleven of Jin Yulou has seen His Royal Highness King Yong."

"Golden Rain Building?" Qin Song turned his head and glanced at Li Jingwen.

Li Jingwen stared at Eleven and tried to detect any flaws in her, but he didn't.

"This king is from the royal family and has never been involved with the Jianghu sect, how could the famous Jin Yulou find this king?"

Li Jingwen asked rhetorically, eleven hooked his lips and chuckled.

"Tonight's disturbance is on the order of our landlord to discuss cooperation with His Royal Highness."

"What cooperation?" Li Jingwen is not beating around the bush.

Eleven glanced sideways again, glancing at the sharp blade on his neck, so he was embarrassed.

"I have always heard that His Royal Highness is kind and generous to his subordinates, and he is a person who knows books and etiquette, and it is not good for His Highness to let his subordinates meet me like this when I sincerely talk about cooperation today?"

Qin Song frowned, "You woman is very suspicious, if I don't take a sword, who knows what you will do to my highness!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Yong! You subordinates are so unreasonable! Eleven screamed.

Li Jingwen glanced at Qin Song, who was embarrassed for a moment and put the sword back.

"Girl, please." Li Jingwen is quite modest.

Eleven clasped his fists at him and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong, the owner of my house wants to exchange a person's life for that batch of grain and grass whose whereabouts are unknown. After His Highness finds the grain and grass, the murderer will return to our Jinyu Building. ”

"Oh? Your landlord also has a grudge against the real culprit behind this? ”

"This is not to worry about Your Highness."

Li Jingwen nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "Where are your chips?" ”

Eleven took half a step back, gave way behind her, and motioned for Li Jingwen to follow her.

Qin Song was afraid that Eleven would follow Li Jingwen closely, and he would be forced to follow behind them by taking Eleven's position.

The three of them went straight downstairs.

Downstairs, Zhou Zhenzhen was drinking tea calmly, Eleven's eyes quietly swept over to look at her, and Zhou Zhenzhen did not look at them.

In the corridor upstairs, Shen Yanbai stood in the aisle, looked down, and watched Li Jingwen and the others leave the inn. He clasped his hands to his chest, and the moment he withdrew his gaze just collided into Zhou Zhenzhen's line of sight.

Through a layer of veil, Shen Yanbai couldn't see Zhou Zhenzhen's expression clearly, but that very familiar feeling had always lingered in his heart.

Spice shop.

Eleven had already pushed open the door of the firewood room with a dim candle flame. The firewood room was dim, and the moment the door was opened, the smell of wood mold came to my face. It wasn't until Eleven ignited the remnant candle on the table that Li Jingwen and Qin Song saw clearly that the beam in the corner was tied up with five flowers.

"Your Highness! This? Qin Song's face was full of shock.

Li Jingwen was calm, just staring at Liang Rushi for a few moments before turning to look at Eleven.

At the door, Banxian was wearing a black mask and half leaning against the door frame, he and Qin Song just glanced at each other and then staggered their gazes and looked into the distance.

"This is the Dharma Protector of Jin Yulou, and Liang Rushi who he has guarded during this time. Your Highness doesn't need to be too vigilant. ”

"Where is your landlord? It's not just the two of you who are sent for such a big deal, is it? ”

"Our landlord has explained that she will meet His Highness when necessary." Eleven replied calmly.

"Well, since the landlord is so sincere, then the king is disrespectful. The king of tomorrow will go to the Huzhou General Military Palace, and there will be new news for you. ”

"Then Eleven is here waiting for the good news of His Highness."

"Your Highness, what should Liang do if he is truthful?" Qin Song blocked Li Jingwen's way and asked in a low voice.

Li Jingwen glanced at Liang Rushi and Eleven, and said, "This king believes that the landlord is a man of his word. ”

Eleven bent down and bowed to Li Jingwen before he said: "Half a string, send a gift to His Royal Highness King Yongwang for the landlord." ”

Half String didn't say a word during the whole process, just silently followed Li Jingwen out of the spice shop.

In the corner, Liang Rushi's eyes were full of horror, but he still didn't give up struggling.

Eleven's beautiful eyes were cold, and she walked over slowly and squatted in front of him. With one hand, he pinched his jaw and with the other pulled out a silver needle and stabbed him in the back of his neck. In the blink of an eye, Liang passed out truthfully.

The firewood room was finally quiet again.

Outside the spice shop, Banxian kept watching Li Jingwen and Qin Song get on the horse and leave. He finally turned around, but instead of entering the shop, he walked in the opposite direction.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the cold wind is howling on the deserted streets. In a dilapidated alley, two dark shadows weave vigilantly through the darkness against the wall.

It's just that Half String is faster than them and is one step ahead of them in their way.

The two men in black didn't even react before they were killed within three moves. Blood splattered on the ruined walls, terrifying.

Half String withdrew a pair of short blades and plunged them neatly into the scabbard at his waist.

He leaned down and squatted down to examine the men in black in turn, and there was a blue-purple mark on the two of them three inches on their chests, which was sure that they were dead.

……

The night was long, the rooster crowed very much, and the gate of Huzhou City was full of refugees. They stood guard at the gate of the city and waited for the soup soup of the general army today.

At that time, Li Jingwen had already seen Tianqiu, the general soldier of Huzhou, and at this moment, the two were standing side by side on the city tower overlooking the outside of the city.

"This king was ordered to investigate the theft of disaster relief grain, and now he is checking and checking that all the clues point to Huzhou. Mr. Tian, what is your opinion on this matter? ”

Tian Qiu's eyes dodged, and he replied stubbornly: "Your Highness Mingjian, the lower officials think that the problem is not in Huzhou, but on the way to Beijing or to transport grain and grass. ”

Li Jingwen didn't speak, nor did he look at him. Tian Qiu continued to speak.

"The lower officials have never seen the disaster relief food from the imperial court from beginning to end, so the lower officials must have dared to say a word, presumably ...... Presumably, there is something wrong with the household. ”

Li Jingwen finally looked at him sideways, just a glance made Tian Qiu's heart empty.

"Lord Tian is really bold! Do you know that the emperor's grandfather has always relied on and trusted the household department the most. The household department has always been supervised and supervised by Lord Shoufu himself, aren't you saying that the emperor's grandfather is not clear about people, and Lord Shoufu is guarding and stealing! ”

Tian Qiu was frightened by Li Jingwen's aura, and he didn't want to crawl on the ground immediately.

"The lower officials are terrified! The lower officials are just guessing and have no disobedience to them! ”

Li Jingwen looked calm, but just raised his hand to signal Tian Qiu to get up.

"This king didn't say that he wanted to blame you, get up quickly, if the people of this city see you, the face of the chief soldier, it will not be easy to accept."

"The people are hungry now, their clothes are difficult to keep warm, and what is the face of the lower officials."

"What are you going to do?"

"There is still some surplus grain in the granary, enough for the people of this city to last for a few days."

The two were silent for a while, and then watched the people at the gate of the city rush to the soup kitchen to compete for the bowl of white rice porridge.

The man pushes the woman, and the woman holds the infant child and squeezes it inside while protecting it. There were also some old people who could not move and slept alone in the mud, and the city gates were in chaos.

Li Jingwen saw this kind of scene for the first time, he had never really seen the suffering of the people since he was a child, and today he really felt it.

He stared at the city tower and said heavily: "Lord Tian, although this king can't give you an accurate answer, this king can promise you that there will be new disaster relief grain to Huzhou."

Tian Qiu's dark eyes suddenly brightened, and his side face when he looked at Li Jingwen was a little softer. But only Qin Song, who was standing on the side, knew where the relief food in Li Jingwen's mouth was going to come from.
