Chapter 328: Ignoring him, the Ten Princes
Zhao Yao stood by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, looking at the dock not far away. The docks were still lively during the day, with people coming and going, and all kinds of shouts and shouts were endless, and it was completely impossible to see that there was a bloody fight here last night.
During this time, there were murderous death matches in Jinling City and Suzhou Mansion, as well as the docks of Runzhou Mansion, every night. The banks of the Jinling River, the Runhe River, and the Suzhou Creek were all stained red with blood, and there was a strong smell of blood on the surface and banks of the river, but during the day, the smell of blood and blood dissipated as if nothing had happened.
The people of Jinling City also seemed to know nothing, and they were busy working by the dock as usual.
Zhao Yao didn't see a trace of fear and uneasiness in the eyes of the people of Jinling City, they seemed to be used to these things and were completely unaffected.
He deliberately asked the restaurant guy about the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang, but the guy was secretive and persuaded him not to inquire about this matter.
The guy also told Zhao Yao that if he wanted to live in Jinling City, he should not ask anything about the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, otherwise he would not know how to die.
Zhao Yao saw that the people of Jinling City were indifferent to the affairs of the Cao Gang and the Yan Gang, thinking that they were used to it and were not afraid, but he didn't expect that they were not afraid, but too afraid. They deliberately numb themselves and pretend they don't know anything.
The guy also told Zhao Yao that if he wanted to live well in Jinling City, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. He also kindly reminded Zhao Yao that Jinling City was not peaceful during this time, and it was best for him to leave Jinling City as soon as possible and not stay here for a long time.
Zhao Yao thanked the guys for their kindness, and left with the four good brothers after dinner. They did not rush home, but went to the teahouse where the literati and students of Jinling City liked to party.
The children's exam was about to begin, but the literati and artists in the teahouse didn't say a word about it, as if they didn't know about it. In fact, it's not that they don't know, but they don't bother to mention the imperial examination. To be precise, they simply ignored the imperial examinations.
The literati students never talked about the imperial examinations, but only about Mr. Meng's previous articles and poems. After Mr. Meng's death, they talked about Mr. Meng's works, as if this was their respect for Mr. Meng.
If they really respect Mr. Meng, they should listen to his old man's persuasion and participate in the imperial examination that is about to begin.
Since the imperial court proposed the imperial examination, Mr. Meng also wrote several articles and some poems to praise the imperial examination and persuade students from all over the world to actively participate in the imperial examination.
On weekdays, the literati and writers in Jinling City are very sought after and even regarded Mr. Meng's articles and poems as a guideline, but they turned a blind eye to these articles and poems written by Mr. Meng Lao about the imperial examination and did not make any comments.
Mr. Meng originally planned to use his identity as a great Confucian to promote the imperial examination before his death, but unfortunately his status as a great Confucian did not work at this time. Only then did his old man realize that in the face of interests, he, a great Confucian, was worthless and useless.
Before he died, he didn't help at all, which made Mr. Meng die with regret. He has always felt that it is not the right time to be sick or to die, if he can live a little longer, he can help take charge of the imperial examination, and when the time comes, many students can participate in the imperial examination.
When Zheng Xilin and Zhao Yao heard Mr. Meng say this, the two tacitly did not tell him the truth about the old man. Even if his old man was in good health and was entrusted with the important task of taking charge of the imperial examination, the literati students in Jinling City would not participate in the imperial examination.
Zhao Yao sat in the teahouse for a while, listening to the literati's boasting of Mr. Meng's works during his lifetime, and only felt ironic and funny.
I really couldn't listen to it, Zhao Yao took Song Jicai and the four of them out of the teahouse.
When I returned to the house, I found that Zheng Xilin was here.
During this time, Zheng Xilin has been busy with other things, and he has no time to come to Zhao Yao and them. When he finally had time today, he immediately came to see Zhao Yao and them.
As soon as he saw Zhao Yao and them, Zheng Xilin scolded them and asked them why they hadn't left Jinling.
After Zhao Yao and the others were obediently scolded, they were busy coaxing Zheng Xilin, and it took a long time to coax him well.
Song Jicai and the others knew that Zheng Xilin had something to say to Zhao Yao, so they left with interest.
In the study, Zheng Xilin looked at Zhao Yao with a straight face and didn't say a word.
Zhao Yao winked at him innocently, and then smiled at him flatteringly: "Third uncle, don't you think I'm good." ”
Zheng Xilin glared at Zhao Yao, and said helplessly, "What do you want to do when you stay in Jinling?" ”
Zhao Yao said with a smiling face: "I just want to see what will happen to Jinling after Meng Lao leaves." ”
"Do you know now?" Zheng Xilin asked in a strange manner, "Have you satisfied your curiosity?" ”
Zhao Yao didn't answer Zheng Xilin's question, but asked directly: "Third uncle, what are you doing in Jinling, if you want to save Mr. Meng's family, shouldn't you go to Runzhou Mansion?" "In Jinling Mansion, there is no Meng family.
Zheng Xilin said expressionlessly: "I have my own business to stay in Jinling City. ”
Zhao Yao glanced at Zheng Xilin, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked with a shocked face: "Third uncle, you didn't stay in Jinling City to save the Meng family, but to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
"That's not something you should care about." Zheng Xilin's eyes when he looked at Zhao Yao suddenly became stern, and his tone became very serious, "You give me to leave Jinling quickly." ”
Hearing Zheng Xilin say this, Zhao Yao was even more sure of his guess in his heart. His expression instantly became solemn, and his tone was full of worry: "Third Uncle, it will be dangerous for you to stay in Jinling City. ”
"You don't have to worry about me, I won't be in danger." Zheng Xilin said with a cold face, "If you continue to stay in Jinling, I will be in danger." ”
"Will I be in danger to you if I stay in Jinling?" Zhao Yao didn't understand what danger he would bring to Zheng Xilin if he stayed in Jinling City, after all, he didn't do anything. Soon, he thought about it. "Because I'm the prince?"
Seeing that Zhao Yao thought of it, Zheng Xilin didn't say anything.
"Now that you know, let's leave quickly."
Although Zhao Yao thought about it, he still didn't understand, and asked with a puzzled expression: "The officials of Jinling don't take me as a prince in their eyes at all, what danger can I bring to you?" "He has been in Jinling for more than a month, and the officials of Jinling have not appeared in front of him from beginning to end, as if they do not know that he, the tenth prince, is in Jinling.
The officials and families of Jinling ignored him, the tenth prince, and besides, he didn't do anything, what trouble could he bring to the third uncle?
"You are a prince after all, and if you continue to stay here, you may be involved in these things." Zheng Xilin said, "If you are really involved, you should know that the crown prince and the acting king will not care whether you live or die. ”
It's still a card, it's still not written well, and the hair is almost pulled out (hugging his head and crying).
It's still a very short chapter.,But it's good to keep up with the update.。
Alas, I continue to work hard, I have to quickly find a way to write the plot smoothly, otherwise I will be bald.
