In the evening, the people in the palace specially brought the emperor's reward, probably as a reward for Feng Baobao for not participating in the struggle in Ziyuan today.

The little father-in-law smiled kindly: "Your Majesty said that he tasted these two dishes, which were very delicious, and thought of bringing one to the county lord." The weather is getting hotter, and I hope that the county lord will take care of his body and eat and drink well. "Then, don't cause trouble.

Feng Baobao smiled slightly, and looked at the dishes in the food box, one was steamed mandarin fish, and the other was stewed shrimp with green beans.

This is to make her pure heart and have few desires....

"Baohua, thank you Uncle Huang for the reward." Feng Baobao owes a salute and tells Twilight Chu to go and get a bag of golden beans.

The palace people were rewarded by the county lord's mansion and retreated one by one with a smile.

Feng Baobao instructed people to put the two dishes on the dining table, and then went to the apse.

Xiling Lang was concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures, Feng Baobao went over to cut off the wick that grew for him, the candle flame swayed, and the beauty was clear-eyed.

Feng Baobao waited for a while, and when he saw that he still didn't speak, he handed an agarwood brocade box directly to Xilinglang.

"Open."

"What?"

"If you open it, you'll know."

Xiling Lang paused, put down the pen in his hand, and opened the brocade box, which was a string of blue-gray bracelets, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

He went to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, went through countless battles large and small, and squatted in a sea of corpses and blood all year round. After smelling the smell of blood for a long time, I am a little uncomfortable with other smells, especially such a rich Buddha incense, a little smell, I will know that it is a bead specially enshrined in front of the Buddha.

He looked at Feng Baobao suspiciously, not knowing why she was showing him this.

Feng Baobao didn't feel strange, and said softly: "This is a relic, Master Xuanyi has treasured it for many years, and this county lord specially asked for it." ”

Xilinglang turned around, a total of eighteen, which is a good number, but it is not suitable for him.

So, the string of beads was put into the box again and pushed in front of Feng Baobao.

"County Lord, I killed too much, I'm afraid this Buddha bead is not suitable for me."

Feng Baobao's face sank, and he said lightly: "Whether it is suitable or not, you don't count it." "Just kidding, this is a relic left by a high-ranking monk, and she asked Master Xuanyi to open it, which is said to suppress the murderous aura in people.

Can you not want it if you want it?

Feng Baobao ignored his refusal and pushed the box back.

Xiling Lang was also speechless, not understanding why Feng Baobao was so stubborn, and said helplessly: "Why should the county lord be reluctant...."

"The lord of this county has always liked to be difficult for strong people, and the Xiling Servant must keep this in mind."

",,,,,,," Xiling Lang took a deep breath and sneered: "If this bead is scattered..... it won't be anyone's ."

"If this bead is scattered, you will be able to copy the Buddhist scriptures for the rest of your life." He laughs, she laughs too, who wouldn't practice his mouth.

Xiling Lang sobbed, and finally didn't say anything, and let Feng Baobao personally put the string of relics on his hand.

"Don't take it off, otherwise the lord of this county will pick off your tendons and tendons, and then lock you up in Qinglong Temple, so that you will never see the light of day."

Xilinglang's face did not change, and he smiled faintly: "The county lord might as well directly put me back in the tiger and leopard camp prison." "He would rather go to the Tiger and Leopard Camp than to the Qinglong Temple.

Feng Baobao shook his head heavily, stared at his face, and said solemnly: "Zong Quan's ruthlessness is notoriously, if you are not careful, your face is ruined, where can I find another one that is exactly the same." ”

I have to say that this face is really lethal for a Yan dog like Feng Baobao!

In the past month and a half in Jinghua, several things have happened to talk about.

On the eighth day of the sixth month, the birthday of Mrs. Hou of Chengyang, the emperor and his concubine came in person, and the emperor's relatives were almost full, and the people listened to the gossip, and the discussion was in full swing, as if they were on the scene.

"I heard that the longevity peaches of the Chengyang Hou Mansion are half a person high, and each longevity peach is the size of a plate....."

"I heard that the concubine gave Mrs. Tai a pair of red coral, which is extremely rare....."

"I heard that Mrs. Tai's grandson, Xiao Junbai and the county lord of Qinghe, played a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" at the birthday banquet scene, it is really a golden boy and jade girl, a match made in heaven....."

In feudal society, Mrs. Marquis of Chengyang is an extremely successful woman.

She married the Marquis of Xiancheng Yang at the age of fifteen, and had three daughters and two boys, the eldest son succeeded to the title, needless to say, the second son also had a meritorious reputation, which was appreciated by the emperor.

What's even more expressive is that they gave birth to three good daughters.

The eldest daughter married the king of Qinghe and gave birth to the king of Xiaoqinghe and the lord of Qinghe; The second daughter married Xiao Shu, the Duke of Chengguo, and gave birth to two brothers, Xiao Junbai and Xiao; As for the young girl, the starting point is a little lower, and in the year of the Emperor, she was given to King Ning as a side concubine by the first emperor.

But a few years later, Prince Bao died of illness, King Ning ascended the throne as the emperor, the side concubine of the palace that year, became a concubine, and now she is in charge of the six palaces, which can be regarded as a boil out.

Because of this, the Lin family has jumped from a second-class family to one of the four major families in one fell swoop. Over the years, it has even been faintly overpowering the other three major families.

The Marquis of Chengyang originally sent an invitation to the lord of Baohua, but the emperor personally sent someone to the Hou Mansion, saying that the lord of Baohua had not healed from his foot injury and would not go to the banquet.

Therefore, Feng Baobao didn't have the opportunity to see those lively and prosperous scenes, nor did he have the opportunity to hear Xiao Junbai and Qinghe County's ensemble of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

Only sigh, the moss and green tiles are piled up, the amorous black clothes and alleys are strange, the clouds are full of the rise and fall of fifty years, and they sing with a smile: some people rise up Zhu Lou, some people feast guests, and some people rust the gutter.

"I heard that the mastermind behind the assassination of Qinglong Temple has been caught."

Xiling Lang's son fell, but Feng Baobao didn't move in the middle of the sound, he looked up at Feng Baobao, and his heart sank.

"Well, I've got it."

"In that case, why is the county lord so depressed?"

He hadn't been out of the house, and he still heard some rumors, and Feng Baobao had just returned from the palace a few days ago, so it was impossible not to know about this matter.

Feng Baobao's face was not good, his eyebrows were frowned, and he said in a low voice: "Zong Quan told me, saying yes, the Zhou family colluded with the old clan of the previous dynasty and plotted to kill the royal family for a long time. ”

Xiling Lang looked at her fixedly, no, if this was the case, she wouldn't have such an expression.

"Does the county lord believe it himself?"

Feng Baobao breathed a sigh of relief, covered his forehead with both hands, and buried his face in his palms.

......

Three years ago, Feng Baobao went out to play, and because he was drunk for a while, he recognized a young and beautiful young man as a mistake and forcibly dragged him to his room, although he was quickly stopped by someone.

But the little boy, in full view of everyone, ran out of the Baohua County Lord's room in disheveled clothes.

According to the people of Beijing, the temperament of many mouths and tongues, the consequences can be imagined.

On the third day of the incident, the body of the little boy was found in the grass of Yunyan Tower.

Fell from a height and died instantly.

That's the old son of the Zhou family patriarch, so it's gone.

However, the emperor doted on Feng Baobao very much, and was afraid of causing her a psychological burden, so he personally ordered Zongquan to deal with the scene, and choked the mouth of the Zhou family to death, not letting a trace of gossip fall into Feng Baobao's ears.

She now thinks back to that time, and she doesn't remember this incident at all, only that she had a big quarrel with Xiao Junbai, and then Xiao Junbai moved back to the Chengguo Mansion, and then ordered someone to send the book and leave.

Feng Baobao couldn't understand why Xiao Junbai suddenly decided to reconcile with her, and didn't even want to look at her.

That's why.

If it weren't for the fact that day in Chang'an Palace, she saw that Zong Quan's expression was different, and asked Chaoqin to check the Zhou family's file in private, she was still in the clouds, and she didn't know that Zhou Xiaogongzi had already returned to the West.

No wonder Xiao Junbai avoided her like a snake and scorpion, and never wanted to look at her again. No wonder the Zhou family hates her to the bone and has to put her to death.

"Your Majesty is the real reason for the assassination of the county lord in order to conceal the death of Zhou Shiyilang, so he framed the Zhou family for rebellion?"

Xiling Lang was just like that, looking at Feng Baobao's side face, and the sunspot between his index finger and middle finger had been twisted out of temperature by him.

"It's not a false accusation, Zong Quan searched the Zhou family and found a lot of letters of unknown origin, all of which have the marks of the royal family of the previous dynasty."

Originally, I just went to investigate the assassination case, but I touched the melons and found those letters. As soon as the new dynasty was decided, the collusion between the important ministers of the court and the forces of the previous dynasty was tantamount to rebellion.

Assassination is a capital offense, and the sin is in one person. But rebellion is a great sin, and the sin is in one family.

"If you kill people and set fire to him one day, your imperial uncle is afraid that he would rather take the blame himself than let you be contaminated with a little spark." Xilinglang's voice was already infected with a chill.

Hearing this, Feng Baobao completely buried his head and said in a low voice: "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." ”

"Is that all?" Xiling clenched the chess piece in his hand tightly, and his eyes were deep and cold.

That night at the Qinglong Temple, the Assassin accused Feng Baobao of the crime, saying that she forced Liang to become a prostitute, and he only regarded it as the reason for the murder, but did not listen to it, but never thought that it was true.

Feng Baobao snorted her mouth, she couldn't say anything, she covered her eyes with her hands, she didn't want to look at it, but there was a faint pain in her heart.

She knows that in modern times, due to the development of the Internet, everyone can be a keyboard warrior, because of a casual action, an unintentional word, there are many examples of being cyberbullied.

She never thought that in ancient times, when transportation and communication were so underdeveloped, people's spittle stars could spray a life to death.

On the second day after the grand birthday banquet in the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, the late Zhou Taishi and his family were imprisoned overnight, and none of them were spared.

"I can't imagine that the Zhou family, one of the four great families, a century-old family, will collapse when it is said to collapse. Master Zhou has served the country and the people all his life, but he didn't expect that his descendants would commit the great crime of rebellion, which is really regrettable! An elderly man shook his head and sighed as he beat his chest with his hands.

"Which Zhou Taishi? Why haven't I heard of it? "A little brother with a tender face, because he has just moved to the capital from the south for a few years, the origin of many famous families in Beijing is still unknown.

"In your later life, you don't even know about Master Zhou? is Zhou Taishi, who wrote "Luohe Water Conservancy", he is a good person! "The old man probably came from that time and received the favor of the Zhou family, so he was very angry, and some people didn't know his great benefactor.

The little brother paused, slapped his head, and exclaimed: "Taishi Zhou is, who committed suicide by jumping off the building in Yunyan Tower three years ago, the grandfather of Zhou Shiyilang!" ”

The reason why the little brother was so impressed was because he had just come to Jinghua at that time, and the inn he borrowed was next door to Yunyan Tower.

He will always remember that day, he was woken up early in the morning by the noise outside, and he ran downstairs without knowing what to do, only to know that someone had jumped off the building, and he was still a young and handsome young man.

As soon as the little brother's words came out, the old man burst into tears in an instant, and muttered: "Yes, it's Zhou Shiyilang's grandfather." Evil, the Zhou family is full of loyalty, and it ended up like this. ”

The little brother wanted to ask why Zhou Shilang was from a prominent background and had a bright future, so he couldn't think of jumping off the building and committing suicide, but the old man was already on crutches and staggered up.
