At dusk, when the cold wind is miserable, pedestrians shrink their necks and wrap their clothes tightly, and hurry home with their heads shut, looking for shelter from the wind and rain.

On the side of the royal street, in an unknown bun shop, Feng Shu, who was gobbling up, looked at the bleak situation outside the store and shook his head gently.

He has a lot of gambling debts, he is chased everywhere, and he can't go back to his home, but he is really embarrassed.

After thinking about it, I had to find a place to hide.

"Feng Yuhou, you're really hard to find!"

As soon as Feng Shutou lowered his head and the buns were stuffed into his mouth, several strong men appeared at the door of the store.

Feng Shu secretly complained, he wanted to leave but had no way to escape, so he could only squeeze out a smile.

"Sixth brother, long time no see."

"Feng Yuhou, it's not like I haven't seen you for a long time! You let your brothers search all over the place, thinking you're gone! ”

After the leading black strong man finished speaking, he sat down on the stool next to Feng Shu, and several big men behind him were eyeing each other.

A few idlers sneered, and a few diners next to him looked curiously, Feng Shu's face sank, put down the bun, and clapped his hands.

"Chen Liu, I, Feng Shu, have some face in Lin'an City. Isn't it too much for you to persecute like this? ”

He is the Yu Hou of the front division of the palace, and the military attache of the fifth grade. is being demanded by these ruffians and hooligans like this, where can he get by on face.

"Feng Yuhou, killing people to pay for their lives, paying debts and paying off debts, is a matter of course. What we do in Chunfeng Lou is to understand the business, and even the interest rate is fair. Even if he is a member of the second or third rank of the imperial court, he will not repay his debts. Feng Yuhou, don't you say? ”

Chen Liu sneered, leaned forward, and approached Feng Shu.

"Feng Yuhou, if you give me the house, it shouldn't be much worse. Or, brother, I went to Dali Temple to make trouble with the front secretary of the temple, what do you think? ”

Chen Liu's face was full of flesh, and his eyes showed a fierce light, Feng Shu looked around and immediately softened.

"Brother Chen, give my brother a face, and give me a few more days. Do you think so? ”

If this is a big fuss, let those big turbans in the court know that he is a bad gambler, how can he still mess around in front of the palace?

"How many days?"

Chen Liu looked at Feng Shu, smiled coldly, and knocked lightly on the table.

"Feng Yuhou, you owe us more than 7,000 yuan in Chunfeng Building, and I can't find you for more than a month. If we didn't miss it, we would have run away and make trouble. Tell me how many days I'm going to give you a few more days? You shirk it like this, you are playing your brothers like monkeys! ”

"Sixth brother, what are you talking about with him? Go directly to Xia Zhen and ask him for money! ”

"In my opinion, he sold his house to pay off his debts!"

"If you don't let him just chop off a hand, forget it! He can't pay it anyway! ”

A few big men next to him urged up impatiently.

These guys are all outlaws in Lin'an City, and the restaurant hires these people in case of emergency.

"Brothers, don't do this! Don't do this! ”

Feng Shu panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly said:

"Brother Chen, aren't I short of money. You go back and tell the shopkeeper Dong that if you give me a few more days, I will definitely find a way to pay back the money! ”

He owed more than 7,000 yuan in Chunfeng Building, and in a hurry, how could he come up with so much at once.

Not to mention, he still owes money in other restaurants and casinos. Tens of thousands of dollars add up, and it's a big head when you think about it.

"Feng Yuhou, you said the same thing last time. Can I still trust you? ”

Chen Liu's eyes were cold, and the cold in his eyes was pressing.

Such a rotten gambler is in debt, and this gambling debt is probably going to be in vain.

If it hadn't been for someone telling him later, he would have been polite.

"Brother Chen, don't worry! This time by all means! Let me figure it out! ”

Feng Shu was serious and swore again and again.

"Feng Yuhou, don't say I didn't remind you. Ugly words ahead, I'll give you half a month to raise money, if you still can't pay it by then, don't blame me for being reckless! ”

Chen Liu's eyes were hideous, and the word "wicked" was almost engraved on his forehead.

"Never! Never! ”

Feng Shu's face was hot, his voice trembled, and his confidence was insufficient.

"Feng Yuhou, I'll believe you again. Brothers, go! ”

Chen Liu stood up and left with the ploppy idlers.

"He's Niang, where is Lao Tzu going to get money?"

Feng Shu's face was full of bitterness, and he no longer had the interest in eating and drinking.

In a restaurant in the bun shop, in the private room by the window on the second floor, Zhang San looked out of the window, and Feng Shu, who had a sad face, came into view.

He saw everything that happened just now.

"Third brother, Chen Liu, they are gone. Listen to them and pay off Feng Shu for half a month's work. ”

Wang Gui came in and said softly.

In fact, Feng Shu's whereabouts were inquired about by their brother and informed Chunfeng Lou.

"Huang Yan's side, how's it going?"

Zhang San frowned slightly, and gently turned the teacup in his hand.

Huang Yan is Shi Miyuan's eagle dog and another commander of the palace's front division. If Shi Miyuan wants to transfer troops from outside the city, there is a high probability that it will be Huang Yan or Xu Gui.

If this is the case, then the poor dagger must immediately rob and kill Huang Yan and prevent the forbidden army from entering the city. There is no way to do it.

"Back to the third brother, it was Du San and Gao Hu staring. Huang Yan has been staying with his good friends these days. Du San and the two have already been explained, and once Huang Yan wants to make a move, the brothers will do it immediately. ”

There was a faint look of excitement in Wang Gui's eyes.

Among the brothers, Du San and Gao Hu are ruthless, and they are Lian Jiazi, and they can only do such a thing as assassination.

"What is the situation over there in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Yiwang Mansion?"

Zhang San asked solemnly.

Shi Miyuan's Mansion and Yiwang's Mansion are two places of particular concern. The second is Feng Shu and Huang Yan, one is destined to be used, and the other may be removed.

"Zheng Qingzhi's father and son of Yiwangfu, as well as Yu Tianci, the chief of staff of Shi Miyuan's Prime Minister's Mansion, and Shi Miyuan's eldest son Shi Zhaizhi, the two sides have been in frequent contact recently, and it seems that there is a big matter to discuss."

The Yi Wangfu is monitored by Du Er, Wang Gui is in charge of the Shi Mansion, and Zhang San is in the center of the overall arrangement. It can be said that the officials who have close contacts with Shi Miyuan are under their surveillance.

"Let people continue to follow Huang Yan and Feng Shu, the Yiwang Mansion and the Shi Mansion are all keeping an eye on it, don't startle the snake and show the horse's feet. Don't be careless! ”

They are in charge of the outside of the palace, but they don't know if Zhao Hong can deal with the forbidden army in the palace.

"Third brother, there is also the fact that Yu Tianci has been to Xiaoshan Yang's house several times recently, and brought a lot of things for eating, drinking and having fun. Several gentlemen of the Yang family, Zheng Qingzhi's son Zheng Shichang, and Shi Miyuan's son Shi Zhaizhi, these people ate and drank, and fought hotly. ”

Wang Gui added.

"The Yang family has also been involved!"

Zhang San shook his head in surprise, and then sighed.

"All kinds of demons and monsters appear together, it seems that the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!"

These things should be told to Zhou Ping in time, so that the palace can deal with them in advance.

Zhang San stood up and patted Wang Gui's thick shoulder.

"Wang Gui, tell the brothers, cheer up. Whether our brothers can get ahead in this life depends on this time! ”

Zhao Hong has the grace of knowing him, and the opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course he has to fight.

"Third brother, go up to the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the brothers are not ambiguous!"

The earth-shattering thunder that Zhang San got was probably also provided by Zhao Hong. With these iron guys, you have to be much braver.

Although I don't know what Zhang San is going to do, Wang Gui is estimated to be related to Zhao Hong, the crown prince of the current dynasty.

"Good brothers, take care of each other, live and die together!"

Zhang San's heart was hot, and he nodded and said.

"Third brother, don't worry, the brothers will listen to you. In this life, I feel like I live like a human being now! ”

Wang Gui was solemn and resolute in his words.

Wang Gui's words made Zhang San's heart sour.

Wang Gui thinks so, why shouldn't he?

Lin'an Palace, the night is vast, the wind and drizzle, quiet and secluded, the cold makes people palpitate, and there is an urge to flee quickly.

When it was time to greet the food, Zhao Hong and Zhou Xiuniang wore thick cotton clothes, put on umbrellas, and went in the direction of Funing Palace.

The weather was wet and cold, and he wanted to take his son with him, but finally decided to give up. First, the child is still too young, and if he freezes out, the gains outweigh the losses.

The point is, who knows if Zhao Kuo will be awake? Many times he went to it, but he did not return.

At the gate of Funing Palace, seeing Zhao Hong and the others coming over accompanied by the guards, Li Gu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Your Highness, Madam, why don't you take a sedan chair?"

"Get used to it. It's uncomfortable to sit on. ”

Zhao Hong put away the umbrella, and the two went up the steps.

"Gonggong Li, how is the official family's body and bones? Is it better? ”

If Zhao Kuo was still asleep, he could only go home.

"Your Highness, you have come at the right time. The official family has woken up, so let's go in quickly. I'm afraid that time is running out! ”

Li Gu's words surprised Zhao Hong.

"Li Gu, what's going on with the official family?"

Originally, the idea of interceding for Liu Kezhuang and Zeng Ji was unconsciously thrown out of the clouds.

"Your Highness, the imperial doctor has just come and said that the official family is terminally ill, I'm afraid it's been a few days."

Li Gu looked around and lowered his voice.

"The official family is unwell, and he has been taking the elixir of Shi Miyuan's worship every day for a while. The body is not better, but worse. ”

"Alas! It's really ......"

Zhao Hong was shocked and shook his head helplessly.

This is an elixir, it's a deadly poison pill!

Fortunately, he is the crown prince and can get the news as soon as possible, if he was the fool before, I am afraid that he is still playing the piano and playing the piano in the Jeguo Mansion with a beautiful woman.

"Your Highness, a few concubines in the palace have just come. You have to hurry, it's better not to run into the queen. ”

Li Gu looked around as he moved forward, and said in a low voice:

"Your Royal Highness, Princess Yi has been here a few times recently, and she has talked a lot with the officials. The official family seems to have something to explain to you. ”

"Father-in-law Li, you have a heart!"

Zhao Hong's heart was shocked, he looked around, took out two gold collars, and stuffed them into Li Gu's hands.

"Prince, how embarrassing this is!"

Starting heavily, Li Gu unconsciously raised his eyebrows.

"That's as it should be. The father-in-law is the loyal and good of the court, and it should be so. If my father-in-law has any trouble in the future, Lone will never stand idly by. ”

Zhao Hong said in a low voice, solemnly.

I don't know what Zhao Kuo wants to explain when he sees him?

"Then the slave will thank His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Li Gu looked at Zhou Xiuniang with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Your Highness, Madame, it's better not to go in, the official family has something to say to you alone."

"Xiuniang, you and Li Tang go back first."

Zhao Hong nodded lightly, Zhou Xiuniang knew it, and said goodbye and left.

Needless to say, when Zhao Kuo looked for Zhao Hong, he must have something important to explain.

"Dong Songchen, you are guarding here. Your Highness, hurry inside! ”

Li Gu pulled Zhao Hong, very urgent, and soon arrived in front of Zhao Kuo's royal couch.

On the royal couch, Zhao Kuo lay quietly and lay with his eyes closed. Seeing that he is skinny and skinny, his face is like gold paper, and the whole person has taken off his appearance, and the last time Zhao Hong saw him, he was like two people.

"Official, the prince has arrived."

Li Gu stepped forward and whispered in Zhao Kuo's ear.

"Prince, you're here."

Hearing Li Gu's words, Zhao Kuo opened his eyes tiredly, and saw Zhao Hong kneeling in front of the couch, stretching out his hand and squeezing out a smile.

"Son, I can't imagine that Daddy will see you one last time! Is the emperor and grandson okay? ”

"Daddy, the emperor's grandson is white and fat, and he is very strong! Just rest your body, and you'll get better soon. ”

Zhao Hong lay in front of the bed and couldn't help crying.

After getting along for so long, he and Zhao Kuo already have a father-son relationship. Suddenly seeing Zhao Kuo so old, compassion spontaneously appeared.

I knew it earlier, so I brought my son with me.

"Son, Daddy won't live for a few days."

Zhao Kuo smiled sadly, he looked at Li Gu, and said in a low voice:

"Li Gu, I have a few words to say to the prince, telling them all to retreat. Watch at the gate of the temple and let no one in!" ”

"Slaves obey!"

Li Gu waved his hand and left with the eunuchs and slaves, leaving only Zhao Kuo and Zhao Hong's father and son in the palace.
