Chapter 17: Gossip

Kyoto, where Yu knew that the three of them were not there, was so lively, and a lot of news came out.

This morning, when the city gate was first opened, a young man walked into the city gate naked, wrapped in dark red rags.

In the Kyoto area, how can the Son of Heaven allow the homeless to enter? Especially recently, there are foreign missions coming to Kyoto to meet them, how can they be allowed to see this situation? Isn't this an insult to the majesty of my court?

The soldiers defending the city dutifully stopped it, after all, the superiors had already ordered them to ensure that no suspicious people were mixed in Kyoto.

It was suspicious that the little beggar appeared at the gate of the city early in the morning.

The soldier who defended the city was also a real man, and he took this man into custody. As everyone knows, this is Bai Li, the little son of the Bai family who was taken out of Kyoto by Yu Zhi last night to "throw corpses" at the mountain temple.

Last night, the last thing Lin Yu did was to strip off Bai Li's clothes and burn them clean. Then, Bai Li was frozen awake before dawn.

Naked, he wanted to cry without tears, so he tore the tattered cloth tent of the mountain temple and draped it on his body, and walked alone in the snow for eight miles.

And the most coincidental thing is that Bai Li just arrived at the West City Gate and saw that the city gate was wide open, and the most people entered and exited Kyoto in the morning, those vendors, those who delivered food to various restaurants...... Numerous. The morning and evening of the day are the most chaotic times.

The population is large, and word of mouth spreads. The farce of Bai Li, the little son of the Bai family, at the West City Gate, went far and wide, and it also added to the conversation of the people of Kyoto after tea and dinner.

The Bai family brought people back from the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and the follow-up things were slowly brewing.

Another thing is that the prince of Zhao was assassinated in the palace of King Zhao.

Compared with Bai Li's shameful farce, the assassination of the prince of Zhao made the entire court shake. No less than dozens of imperial doctors in the palace entered King Zhao's mansion one after another, and it took a busy night to stabilize their injuries.

His Majesty's anger is that someone dares to assassinate the royal family at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is still in the palace of King Zhao. Contempt for royal dignity and great rebellion are intolerable.

Qiu Yu, who was the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, was taught a good lesson, as well as Shuntian Mansion Yin. As long as some wind and grass in Kyoto enters the palace, the two of them will not escape responsibility.

So over the years, the two have adhered to a tacit understanding - if they can hide it, they will hide it. As a courtier, you must always make Your Majesty feel at ease.

Qiu Yu was rewarded with fifty boards. And Shuntianfu Yin is the thirty boards. It is said that the military generals are in good health, and they will always be punished more.

Two things, one big and one small, Bai Li, the protagonist of the headlines, was robbed of the "limelight" by the prince of Zhao Wang.

In the community, the people do like to discuss Bai Li, the little son of the Bai family, after all, Bai Huahua's ass has been seen by many people and has a reverie.

Some rich sons with special fetishes heard that they were itchy in their hearts, but they thought that the other party was the little son of the household book, so they gave up such a plan in their hearts.

The people do not fight with the officials.

Yu knew that they did not return to Kyoto until noon. This time they did not drive, but threw the Bai family's carriage at the foot of a cliff in Kyoto. There were a lot of carriages into the city, and Qiu Ruoruo paid some money to catch a car that delivered rice.

Today is a warm sun, and the three of them are sitting on piles of rice bags, and the cold wind in front of them is not so cold. Looking at the scenery along the way from a different angle, it should be fresh.

Obviously, the wagon carrying the rice was a little more stable than last night. For this reason, Qiu Ruoruo also disliked Yu Zhi for a few words.

"A few young ladies are from Kyoto when they hear about it, have you ever heard of interesting things in Kyoto today?" Today is the third time that the coachmen have made a trip to Kyoto, and they have to make several round-trips a day on an errand like theirs.

"Tell me about it?" Yu Zhi said with a smile. He thought that there must be something that would be in vain, how could he, the culprit, not know?

After listening to the other party, in addition to the expectation, there was an extra trace of surprise in the eyes of the three people.

The assassination of Zhao Wangfu, this matter is strange. However, in the eyes of the three of them, this matter has little to do with the three of them. This is the matter of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Shuntian Mansion, and the Qiu family has Qiu Yu on top of it, so it will not fall on Qiu Ruoruo, a little girl.

The west city gate is the most in and out of the city gate, and Wang Baihu, who was on duty last night, has been waiting here since he heard about Bai Li, the little son of the Bai family. It was already very tiring to be on duty all night, but now he still didn't dare to close his eyelids, lest he miss the person who was waiting.

Wang Baihu is called Wang Dafu, he is a smart person, otherwise he would not be able to sit in the position of the head of a hundred households. In officialdom, being diligent and down-to-earth is not necessarily a good thing, the most important thing is to have vision.

Some earthy names match his chubby and rich face and body shape.

"Daifuku, it's not you on duty today, why don't you go to rest?"

"Go, go, get down to business?"

Wang Dafu drank a few of his colleagues back, and a few of them didn't care, so they went to patrol on their own.

As soon as Yu Zhi's carriage entered the city, it was stopped and routinely inspected, which was a daily job.

Wang Dafu's eyes were bright, and he saw Qiu Ruoruo who was wrapped around his head in the entire velvet robe at a glance. At this moment, the three of them were being pulled out of the carriage by the soldiers on duty for questioning.

Wang Dafu immediately ran up when he saw it, "What do you ask, this is the young lady who commands the envoy, do you think there is suspicion?" He stared at the young soldier, looking at the child's troubled career.

The three of them looked at the slightly rich man in front of them in armor in a daze. Qiu Ruoruo didn't know Wang Dafu, there were many people in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Qiu Ruoruo couldn't remember them one by one.

Qiu Ruoruo can not know Wang Dafu, but Wang Dafu must know Qiu Ruoruo.

After Wang Dafu's reminder, the three of them understood.

"Miss, don't worry, last night's affairs have been sorted out. After the curfew, no one entered or exited the West City Gate. Wang Dafu said with an oath.

Qiu Ruoruo said: "Thank you Wang Baihu." ”

Yu Zhi smiled and stared at Wang Dafu's eyes, "Wang Baihu is not afraid of offending the Bai family this time?" After all, it is the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, a dignified and upright member of the Sanpin Imperial Court. ”

Wang Dafu looked at the thinly dressed young man beside Qiu Ruoruo, and the young man's eyes revealed a hint of alertness. "The subordinates are the subordinates of the Qiu Commander, and I really haven't seen anyone go out of the city yesterday, even if I killed my subordinates, my subordinates haven't seen them either."

Yu Zhi smiled, signaled that what Wang Dafu said didn't have to be so serious, reached out and took out a silver ticket from Qiu Ruoruo's sleeve, stuffed it into Wang Dafu's armor without a trace, and gently patted it on his chest, "Wang Baihu is on duty hard, and this bit of silver takes a few brothers to be chic." ”

After speaking, the three of them Shi Shiran left, leaving Wang Dafu alone in a daze.

Who is that boy? How can you be so close to Miss?

Wang Dafu couldn't figure it out, he escaped from his arms with the fifty taels of silver ticket, turned around and went back to rest. Now that his task has been completed, as for what will happen to the Bai family and what will happen to the Qiu family afterwards, even if he is implicated, he is still on the side of the Qiu family.

He knows which is stronger and which is weak.

......

The Steppe Wolf Court was housed in the Zizhu Courtyard in Midtown, which was mostly used by the royal courts to receive envoys. These days, Nomin has been in the courtyard all the time, and has not taken half a step.

Although she grew up on the grassland, her mind is much more delicate than those strategists in Da Chu. If she wants to travel, there will inevitably be guards sent by the Dachu royal family before and after, and if she doesn't feel at ease, it's better not to go shopping.

"What about Month? Did you go to the Qiu family's house again? Nomin asked. The most enthusiastic person in Da Chu is Meng Si, but his enthusiasm is only for that Miss Qiu family.

Dolan sat opposite Nuomin, and there was a purple clay pot on the table in the middle, and there was a little tea in the pot, which was the best Tieguanyin given by the Great Chu Emperor, and this purple clay pot was also taken from the palace. Because there are no delicate things on the grassland.

There was a stove beside the table, and on the stove was a tin kettle, and the occasional crackling of dry wood could be heard from the stove.

"County Lord, Meng Si has taken a fancy to the young lady of the Qiu family and wants to take her back to the grassland. You don't care, we have a business this time, how can we let Mons be so foolish? Dolan complained.

A smile crossed Nuomin's heroic face, and he quipped, "Are you jealous?" ”

"Nothing." Two red clouds appeared on Dolan's face, and whenever he mentioned the slightest ambiguity between Month and her, Dolan always had a gesture of his daughter's home. Of course, she is her daughter's family, how can she not feel shy when she talks about the lover who has not pierced the window paper?

Nomin fiddled with the tea set, it was her first time making tea, and her technique was a little jerky, occasionally making a crackling sound.

"County Lord, what do you think I should do? That night, I felt that Meng Si looked at the young lady with a very innocent look, and I didn't expect that he really wanted to take her back to the grassland. Alas, I pretended to go to the handsome young man, but Month didn't care......"

Nomin didn't listen very carefully, and responded unintentionally. She is very attentive, and while she is concentrating on one thing, she does not care about anything else.

"County Lord! Are you listening to me? ”

Dolan dared to yell at Nomin like this, simply because the two of them were friends from childhood to adulthood.

Nomin was stunned for a moment and said, "If I were you, I'd tell Month." ”

"What? I'm a girl, how can I ......"

As if he hadn't heard, Nomin continued: "Tell him that maybe he likes you too, but if you don't say it, he doesn't know how." Maybe he will leave, but you told him after all, don't complain and don't regret. ”

Dolan pondered, "The county lord is really the county lord. "Dolan seems to have settled his mind.

Sure enough, the nerves of girls on the prairie are really thick.

Nomin's hand stopped, and it seemed that his mind was not on the tea set in front of him. She remembered a long time ago, ten years ago in the prairie, a boy had said the same thing to her.

"Does the county lord have a favorite person?" Dolan asked tentatively. There were many tribes in the steppe who were in love with Nomin, and the kings of many tribes had proposed marriage to the old khan.

Nuo Min was stunned for a moment, his right hand gently touched the simple wooden bracelet hidden in the sleeve of his left hand, and then remembered the thin figure, with a snotty face, smiled slightly, and then was lonely.

"Yes...... He's dead. ”
