Shrill and piercing chimes rang out from all directions, and countless black shadows flapped their wings and slammed into her. Luo Qianhuai could guess their identities, but he still couldn't suppress his fear.

She screamed, clasped her head and ears tightly over her cloak, and ran out with all her might.

Changling Yi Court.

Yu Shen, the prince of Jizhou, was already acting as usual at this time, and the ropes on his body had long been removed, and he was sitting in front of the desk with a grin, talking to Huo Yu while eating and drinking.

"Ling Zun's son also came to see his father and ask him to take more care of you." He said, "If someone else were to change people, my father would not even let me in, but your father and son will be different. ”

Huo Yu smiled and raised his glass: "The prince is very loving, Yu and Ah Weng are ashamed." ”

"When you say this, you will be divided." Yu Shen waved his hand and drank the wine in the cup: "Father said that you are all capable ministers, I didn't know much about it in the past, but today I saw that it was so." ”

"So, according to the Son of the World, how should today's affairs end?" Huo Yu lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine.

"Gyeonggi hasn't been peaceful lately." Yu Shen sighed and said: "In the past, the Huns infiltrated and assassinated the Wusun envoys, and then there were uneven stolen goods in the Mingyue Building, bribing the mountain bandits to kill people and rob money. ”

"As for you, my lord, it only took a few hours to solve this case and bring all the rioters to justice, not only is it not guilty, but it is meritorious."

The corners of Huo Yu's lips hooked slightly, and the dark color in his eyes was not visible at all in the candlelight: "However, what the prince wants, is it tied to that Zhu Niang?" ”

He looked at Zhu Niang, who was kneeling on the ground under the hall, without saying a word, and thought in his heart.

"Adults are smart people, and bright people don't speak secret words." Yu Shen disagreed: "This son can guarantee that in the future, the immortal wine I make will not shorten the tax revenue of Changlingyi, but it may not be in other places." ”

"It turned out to be for the sake of not envying immortals." Huo Yu nodded: "Money is moving, and there are few people in this world who can not care about it all." ”

Yu Shen seemed to understand the meaning of his words, his expression became more relaxed, and even his title changed: "Brother Huo has made a lot of efforts in this matter, and this son of the world will repay the favor." How about your three-point income in the future? ”

Seeing that Huo Yu didn't have any joy on his face, he said again: "You don't have to think that these three points are not profitable, when you go to this wine marketing Dayu, even the Western Regions and the South Seas, the profits will be earth-shattering." ”

"So for this earth-shattering benefit, what is the value of those dozen or so lives." Huo Yu chuckled softly.

"So this son of the world takes Brother Huo as a fellow practitioner - those wine shop guys are too ignorant, who can't make wine for anyone, they are born one by one, and in the end they die without a whole body, so who is to blame. There is also this Zhu Niangzi. ”

He stood up and slowly walked in front of Zhu Niang, two fingers lifted her chin, forcing her to look up at herself:

"The appearance can barely be eye-catching, and this son also said that if he is willing to hand over the formula, not only will he not kill her, but he may also make an exception to accept her as a maid, who knows that this person is a stupid person, but he is loyal to that owner."

He let go of his hand, wiped the blood on his hand with Zhu Niang's clothes, and stood up again: "So this kind of thing is not what this world is good at, but it depends on your Brother Huo's ability." ”

"No matter what method you use, pry open this slut's mouth and take out the formula, you can get the promise of this son."

Huo Yu also stood up: "Can the promise of the prince be changed?" ”

He clapped his hands, and from behind the screen, a scribe came out, holding a large silk book full of words, and sent it to Yu Shen.

"The prince can take a hard look at whether there are any errors or omissions in what is written on it. lynching and torture, brutally killing 16 good people, forcibly plundering, and competing with the people for profit. If there is no objection, the pledge can be drawn. ”

"You!!" Yu Shen was furious, snatched the confession, and tore it to pieces: "Huo Yu, you dare to lie to me, but are you crazy?" ”

Huo Yu had a righteous face: "As a parent official of Changling, how can this official sit back and watch the people under his jurisdiction being brutalized?" The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the people, let alone a vassal king? ”

After that, he no longer looked at Yu Shen's face, and ordered: "Come on, help Yu Shizi sober up!" ”

At that moment, dozens of soldiers rushed into the room, swords and swords, and aimed at Yu Shen. Outside the doors and windows, there were layers of crossbowmen, and the cold light of the cold arrow tips flickered.

Yu Shen laughed: "With this little manpower alone, you want to keep this son? It's a dream! ”

"This official knows that the son of the world is brave and unparalleled." Huo Yu was not angry at all, and the smile on his face changed unpredictably under the lights:

"It's just the son of the world, conspiring against the government and other complicits. If you break out of the palace today, you won't regret any decision your majesty makes tomorrow. ”

Yu Shen glared at him angrily, and a pair of iron fists clenched extremely tightly, but he still didn't make a move after all.

After he was released to prison, Huo Yu waved everyone away, leaving only Zhu Niang alone.

"Thank you, sir, for enforcing the law impartially." Zhu Niang bowed deeply.

Huo Yu didn't answer, and asked bluntly: "You didn't tell the truth. This official knows that the person who saved you tonight is not a mysterious master, but Luo Niangzi herself. ”

Zhu Niang raised her head in astonishment: "My lord, Luo Niangzi she"

"What kind of person Luo Niangzi is, the official already knows a lot, so I don't need you to say more." Huo Yu said with his hand: "It's just Zhu Niangzi, she got into trouble with the prince of Jizhou for you today, this is a big trouble." ”

"Please also ask your lord to show a clear way for your concubine!" Zhu Niang couldn't hear what he meant, and she was shocked in her heart, but on the surface, she kowtowed again and again.

This Lord Huo doesn't seem to be ordinary to Mrs. Luo, listening to his tone, the reason why he turned against that Yu Shen seemed to be because of her relationship.

"Just one wine-making recipe and more than a dozen lives can't bring down the prince of Jizhou." Huo Yu walked up to her and said condescendingly: "But if there are other things involved, it may not be." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Niang raised her head and asked.

"As long as you cooperate with this officer, you will be kept safe. But correspondingly, if the official asks for something in the future, you should also go all out, okay? ”

The second half of this sentence, Zhu Niang heard it inexplicably.

"The concubine is just a willow posture, what is there to value for adults?" She asked, puzzled.

The smile on the corner of Huo Yu's mouth intensified. came up with the brilliant idea of auction, and introduced the consumption tax to solve the problem of not envying the talents who paid tribute to the immortals, and he was so weak and modest in his words.

Such a talent, even if it is a woman, is worth his extra effort to win over one or two.

He personally got started and helped her up: "Zhu Niangzi, don't be arrogant. As for the future, we will see. ”

Zhu Niang: .???

Luo Qianhuai didn't choose the road, and he didn't know how long he had been running, and suddenly saw a wide exit. The bats didn't follow her anymore. She slowed down and walked out, and found that there was a sloping area outside, overgrown with withered yellow grass and trees, and a stream that had been frozen in ice, and not a single human being.

Fear is gone, and cold and tiredness dominate the body. She just wanted to find a place to get a good night's sleep.
