Chapter 82: Mrs. Tai's husband who temporarily gave up her children's affection
Si Chen took the night away with the rooster crowing and exchanged it for the day.
Gu Ruosu's flowers are in full bloom, the noisy and prosperous Hefeng Hall is tightly closed at this moment, and the oblique wind and drizzle are ruthlessly blowing in the courtyard, and the depression is very deserted.
The delicate flowers of spring bloomed like wilts, under the window lattice of Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing's house, and the willow branches that had long been dyed into tender green were also wet with water, and hung heavily, all the scenery at this moment seemed to be similar to Xie Ruqing's mood, heavy and indescribable.
Xie Ruqing, who was guarding the "empty room" alone, heard the sound of rain hitting plantains outside the window, so he sobered up from the drunken wine, felt the brocade quilt on his body was cold, and saw that the incense in the house had disappeared, and the unwarranted sorrow hit his heart again.
"Brown sugar, where is the lady." Xie Ruqing didn't have time to care about the cold spring that had come for several days, so he pushed open the door and said to the empty courtyard.
The next moment, Brown Sugar appeared from an unknown corner with a white and green oil-paper umbrella with a jasmine pattern, ran in front of Xie Ruqing, looked up at the black blue on Xie Ruqing's face and the red blood in his eyes, Brown Sugar hurriedly said:
"Master, I heard the news, Mrs. was not taken away by Chu Ci and others, it was the owner of Gao Fang who came to look for you last night, and he happened to meet the lady who climbed over the wall, and he happened to save the lady who fell off the wall, so he took the frightened lady away...... I forgot for a while, and I told you, my lord, that these were all the original words sent by the owner of Gao Fang this morning. β
Gao Qi...... He just "forgot for a while", how is Madame, just ask, Gao Qi's guy finally coaxed people out, he must be trying his best to make her happy. β
Brown Sugar bowed his head and didn't dare to speak.
Although Xie Ruqing was a little apprehensive in his heart at the moment, he finally put the heart that was about to jump to his throat back into his body, fortunately, fortunately, he went to Gao Qi, not by someone else...... It's okay, it's okay......
"I'm going to go out now, so let Madame stay at Gao Qi's place for a while."
"This ...... Or, the little one...... Go and get the lady back first? Brown Sugar said cautiously.
"No, I'm going to go, I guess I'll have to wait until dark to come back, although it's only a few hours, but it will change instantly.
She didn't feel at ease, she stayed at home alone.
Besides, at the moment, in addition to me, in Kyoto, there are people who can really protect and have the ability to protect the safety of his wife wholeheartedly, and it is estimated that Gao Qi is alone.
You don't have to look for Madame first, when I come back, I'll go and get Madame back." β
Xie Ruqing said a long time, as if she was telling Brown Sugar the reason why she didn't want to take Gu Ruosu, and it seemed that she was overcoming her unbearable love and longing......
Xie Ruqing walked back to the house alone, changed into a set of purple silk sunset flowers for herself, took out a sandalwood brocade box from under the bed, took out a purple jade carved hairpin that had been lying quietly inside, thought for a long time, and finally put it on her head.
Before going out, Xie Ruqing took a ruby ring in the style of "jasmine" from Gu Ruosu's jewelry box, put it in his arms, took the brown sugar, and got on the frame of the Guogong row that had been prepared at the door for a long time, and walked in the direction of the post house where Chu Ci lived.
Besides, Chu Ci, who didn't know that Xie Ruqing was about to swagger at this moment, got up early in the morning, in the courtyard, supported a canopy, under the canopy, there was a reclining chair and a small table, and there were many delicious wines and vegetables and fruits on the table.
"If you don't work hard, adults can't improve your memory, you have to be careful of your own flesh." Chu Ci smiled and put his mouth over the big grape in the hand of a girl next to him, and then said casually.
The big men who heard this, but they didn't take Chu Ci's words as a joke, but immediately got goosebumps, and they couldn't care about the "noble" identity of these people tied to the tree, and they all accumulated enough strength in their hands, so that those people would open their skin and flesh in the next moment, and they screamed in pain!
In the air, the smell of blood, which was originally only invisible, immediately turned into an invisible rolling red wave, attacking the people present.
Chu Ci and the two girls beside him smelled such a smell, and they did not feel a trace of discomfort, but they all showed a "satisfied" smile.
But maybe it was the scene that was getting more and more bloody, after all, the people on the side couldn't stand it, just look, from this post house, a high-spirited young man rushed out, and ran in front of Chu Ci angrily.
Chu Ci raised his head, as if it was the aristocratic man who had the courage to mock Chu Ci in the suburbs a few days ago, Chu Ci changed his posture, and took a woman in blue into his arms, did not get up, and said:
"Little prince, what's wrong, I don't sleep in the morning, but I was woken up by these ignorant people, if I let people shut their mouths, little prince, you go back and continue to sleep."
The man who was called the little prince by Chu Ci did not give Chu Ci face when he heard this, but frowned very unhappily, and said quite dissatisfied:
"Chu Ci, what's the matter with you, you dared to lynch early in the morning, these people are all the ministers of our Southern Barbarians, even if their rank is lower than yours.
But now they are all envoys to the South Barbarians like you and me! There is no distinction between high and low!
How dare you lynch my uncle behind my back in a foreign land!
Believe it or not, I'll go back and tell my uncle about your case! β
When Chu Ci heard this, he reluctantly restrained his smile, straightened his expression, called the two girls up from his body, and said:
"Little prince, are you complaining about them?"
"Hmph, this prince is just telling the truth!"
"Tell the truth, just tell the truth, the little prince still remembers the mistakes made by these people."
"This ......" the little prince stopped talking for a while.
It is not a big deal to have a language conflict with the courtiers of Dayong for no reason, but a few of them have not succeeded enough to lose, they have the courage to quarrel, and they have no ability to quarrel and win, and they are embarrassed.
is still in front of the court, everyone is about to fight with others, and if he is not stopped by words in the end, it will be even more embarrassing.
Your uncle, that is, His Majesty the Lord of the country, has long been instructed that if someone loses someone to the country, I will punish him as I want. Chu Ci finished this large paragraph unhurriedly, and then motioned for the little prince to continue.
"But we will not sin unto death! Master Chu, the lord of the country just let you punish, didn't let you take our lives! You are disobeying the orders of the lord! It turned out that the officials who were also members of the Southern Barbarian Mission who were tied to the tree, suddenly one of them said loudly.
When the little prince heard the official's words, he hurriedly said, "That's right! My uncle gave you the right to take charge of the whole team, but he didn't give you the right to take their lives! You're going against my uncle's will! β
"By the words of my uncle, I will exclude dissent and seek selfish desires! You have to remember that even if you are a national teacher of the Southern Barbarians, this Southern Barbarian is still surnamed Duanmu! It is the world of our Duanmu family! Not your word! Duanmu Hong was afraid that he couldn't scare Chu Ci, and immediately added indignantly.
When Chu Ci heard this, the smile on his face deepened, he casually picked up the golden wine glass, took a sip of wine, stood up, walked in front of Duanmu Hong, and said:
"Exclude dissidents, the little prince is really serious, I don't have such a great ability in Chu, I'm someone in Chu, just follow the will of the lord to do things, this Nanban, but the surname has always been Duanmu."
At that end, Mu Hong still wanted to say something, so after seeing that Chu Ci finished saying this, he skipped him directly, walked in front of the group of people who were hung up and beaten, and temporarily signaled the few big men to stop.
"Two years ago, the coup d'Γ©tat in Huiyang, Duanmu Qi colluded with the governor of Huiyang, and when the lord of the country went out to visit Huiyang, he intended to assassinate the lord of the country and ascend to the throne, resulting in the death of the prince to save his father, and the death of nearly ten personal guards.
And Lord Bai was serving in the Inner Secret Institute back then, but later, a month before the liquidation of the Inner Secret Academy, Lord Bai happened to be transferred out of the Inner Secret Institute and escaped the liquidation.
Some time ago, it was found out that Lord Bai had received money from Duanmu Shuren, revealing His Majesty's travel itinerary that day, a capital crime. Chu Ci randomly came to a hanging official, took out the dagger inlaid with gems from his arms, and after finishing speaking, stabbed straight into the chest of the white adult.
Blood splashed on Chu Ci's clothes and face, and the two girls who were originally serving Chu Ci hurriedly stepped forward and took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Chu Ci.
Chu Ci looked at his body in disgust, snorted, and then walked up to the person who was still very backbone to speak just now, and said with a smile:
"In this natural disaster, Liyang dug embankments for thousands of miles, flooded and caused countless casualties.
It has been ascertained that the Liyang embankment built five years ago was caused by corruption and the use of inferior building materials, which led to the flooding of water sources caused by the heavy rain in Liyang, and the embankment collapsed in one breath, resulting in a situation of digging the embankment for thousands of miles.
We had to leave our hometown to talk to Dayong for peace.
Lord Shangguan is the supervising official who built the Liyang Dam back then, and I think this matter has nothing to do with you. β
"The minister was wronged! National teacher, you check clearly! Lao Chen has served Nanban for many years and loves the people like a son, how could he do such a thing! Lord Shangguan, who was in Chu Ci's mouth, took a breath and defended himself.
Chu Ci laughed more and more rampantly, and said: "Lord Shangguan is eloquent and has good acting skills, if he hadn't joined the officialdom, he would have been able to be a pillar if he wanted to come, and he would definitely be popular all over the country."
A month ago, Lord Jing, the owner of the Beidu Factory, found a full 200,000 taels of silver in a house you bought in the name of his brother in the hometown of Shangguan, Yiyang.
But obviously, our Lord Shangguan is not afraid of anything...... The people of the Beidu Factory handled things carefully, and also searched the ground of your house, and found 500,000 taels of gold with the private seal of the Nanban official silver, which was traced according to the private seal engraved on the official silver, which was the official silver transferred to Liyang by the Ministry of Household for the construction of the embankment five years ago.
Lord Shangguan, you formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, and embezzled official silver, causing the displacement of the people of Liyang, countless deaths and injuries, and capital crimes. β
After speaking, Lord Shangguan turned pale and was about to plead, but before he could say a word, he was wiped by Chu Ci, and blood splattered...... Lingering and terrifying......
Chu Ci looked at the treasure knife in his hand that killed two people in one breath and carried the blood of two people, and inevitably felt a little irritable, feeling that these people were really dirty with his knife......
Chu Ci took a clean Luopa from Mei Jiaoniang's hand, and after wiping his knife well, he stuffed it back into the scabbard and said:
"Keep fighting! No stops! Killed, it's all mine! β
"You ......" The little prince Duanmu Hong obviously didn't know what these officials were doing, after hearing these words from Chu Ci's mouth, and looking at the reactions of those people, what still didn't he understand, he immediately blushed, ran to Chu Ci, ready to apologize, but he couldn't open his mouth.
Chu Ci looked at this "stupid" prince, and there was a burst of ridicule in his heart, and he didn't know how the Duanmu family, who was walking on the tip of the knife, raised such a stupid child who didn't understand anything, if it weren't for his identity, it was estimated that there would be no bones left after being gnawed.
"Little prince, what do you want to say, if you can't say it, you don't have to say it, I don't want to hear it, little prince, I only want to say one word to you."
Duanmu Hong asked suspiciously, "What words?" β
"On this trip, there is no you on the list, you yourself have to ask the lord of the country, come along, since you are here, listen to me, don't make trouble for me, just do your duty (vase).
What do I do, how do I, your parents have not dared to question me directly in front of me, and you, let alone rely on your identity, pretend to understand me, point fingers, if it is a big thing for me...... No one can protect your ......" At the end, Chu Ci whispered in Duanmu Hong's ear.
Duanmuhong suddenly felt a shudder on his body, and he had the impression that he had been relying on the favor of the emperor's uncle and a little bit of talent to be powerful and blessed, and he was ...... It seems to be an evil spirit from hell...... whispered in his ear......
"Hey, little prince, don't be too afraid, you are a relative of the emperor, I am just a loyal dog of your Duanmu family, as long as the owner does not die, the dog ...... How can you be willing to bite the master~" Chu Ci looked at Duanmu Hong, who was frightened by himself, and said self-deprecatingly.
Duanmu Hong frowned, and was about to open his mouth to explain, although he looked at him very unpleasantly, but he had never treated him as a dog, he saw Dugu Defeatian running in in a hurry, and saluted Chu Ci and said:
"National teacher! Outside, Xie Ruqing, the prince of Dayong Yanguo, swaggered in a carriage and came towards us, and now ...... It's almost to the door! β
"Oh~" A glimmer of light flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and then, he said:
"I didn't expect that my senior brother came quickly, let's go, Lord Dugu, go to the door, and greet him with me." Chu Ci was about to walk out, but as if he remembered something, he turned around and said:
"Throw these people into the back kitchen tank for me first, remember to put the lid on me with a big stone, and leave a slit to breathe, without my order, you are not allowed to release it, the province is embarrassed, and there is ...... Here, hurry up and clean it up for me......
If so, if I look back and see the problem, I'm going to be angry~"
When Chu Ci said this, he had a smile on his face, and there was also a smile in his tone, but the murderous aura implied in it made everyone shudder...... It seems that it has directly passed through the spring cold and entered the harsh winter......
