When the news of the bandits' suppression came out, the whole country was shocked.

The plague of water bandits in the south has been a cancer in Xi Guo for many years, and even Emperor Wanzhen didn't expect that this time Lin Duci and Shen Qi and Tang Zongjiu could jointly handle this matter.

The court was even more excited, once the scourge of water bandits was solved, the transportation of the entire south would be greatly improved, not only cracking down on illegal salt smuggling, but also maintaining the stability of one side.

Previously, the news from the south reached the imperial capital one by one, and the ministers had to quarrel almost every few days.

What Lin Dusk is too murderous, or Shao Xingyue is too young, Shao Chongde should go by himself.

Every time Shao Xingyue was mentioned, Shao Chongde snorted coldly.

"Lao Tzu let his son go to death, why don't you let your son go?"

Shao Chongde can't be provoked.

So they turned their heads and attacked Lin Duci.

said that Lin Duci was young and ignorant, and the affairs in the south should be slowly figured out, which gave Emperor Wanzhen a headache.

But the truth is, Lin Duci succeeded.

However, Shen Qi and Tang Zongjiu played a very big role in this, but they were not enough for outsiders.

The Liu family fell, and no one stopped the transmission of all kinds of news.

Emperor Wanzhen only received the news a few days ago, Lin Duci Tang Zongjiu and Shen Yi and a few people were seriously injured and unconscious, the weapons depot in the red forest had been seized, and the southern officialdom fell into a temporary chaos, all relying on the remaining officials to survive.

Previously, when Lin Dui started to kill, Emperor Wanzhen had already begun to send people over one after another, but whoever he could send over had to be carefully discussed, so the speed was relatively slow.

Now we have to pick up the pace.

is not only a matter of officialdom, but also from the news from Shen Qi, there is also the matter of the Moyang River bandits taking over, in this regard, Emperor Wanzhen feels that as long as he does not step on the bottom line, in the case of maintaining peace in the south and being controlled by the imperial court, whoever is in charge is the same.

So, Emperor Wanzhen waved his hand and told his daughter that as long as you can eat, all the business and water bandit property in the entire south will belong to you, and it is time for you to fulfill your promise to make money to your father.

At the same time, Emperor Wanzhen also specially sent several imperial doctors to the south to treat a few people.

The water bandits are gone, and the south is now a mess that needs someone to shake the field.

How the Liu family should deal with it is also imminent.

Emperor Wanzhen was so busy that he spent days and nights in the imperial study.

That night, Emperor Wanzhen had just finished dinner from Zixiang Palace and was about to return to the imperial study to deal with official business.

"Your Majesty," Cao Guanping whispered to the side, "Changpeng Liu asks to see you." ”

In his letter to Emperor Wanzhen, Shen Qi also talked about Liu Changpeng and Gu Wanting in detail.

The Liu family is determined to destroy the nine clans, with Liu Guifei and the three princes here, this matter still needs to be considered.

"Xuan."

Inside the Imperial Study.

Liu Changpeng knelt in front of Emperor Wanzhen.

"I'm here to save the gold medal." Changpeng Liu took out a golden token in his hand.

Back then, he followed Emperor Wanzhen from birth to death, set up a dog and horse for Emperor Wanzhen, and carried several fatal blows for Emperor Wanzhen.

After Emperor Wanzhen ascended the throne, he remembered his merits and gave him a gold medal for avoiding death.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Emperor Wan Zhen has not been able to completely kill Liu Changpeng, and can only slowly figure it out.

It is also the reason why Changpeng Liu dared to "rebel".

But if Gu Wanting has a little bit of greed for power and money, Changpeng Liu will really rise up.

"The Tiger Talisman of the 300,000-strong army on the southern border."

Liu Changpeng took out the tiger talisman and handed it to Cao Guanping.

"You and I didn't have to be born to this point." Emperor Wanzhen said coldly.

"All this has nothing to do with my sister and Shen Qiao." Changpeng Liu continued.

The events of the South have been added to and passed down into various versions.

One of the most popular speculations is related to Liu Guifei and the third prince in order to seize the throne.

Emperor Wanzhen naturally knew.

"They all say you're crazy." Emperor Wanzhen said, "I didn't realize it when you said you didn't want to marry a wife, but now that I think about it, you already have it at that time." ”

"Yes, I'm insane." Changpeng Liu made no secret of this.

"I will treat you as a brother and give you a gold medal for avoiding death." Emperor Wanzhen said, "You want my country." ”

"I'm not interested in Jiangshan, I just want to be with him." Liu Changpeng said.

'With whom?' 'Sister' or 'Sister'? Emperor Wan Zhen sneered.

"Ziyin." Liu Changpeng raised his head and faced Emperor Wanzhen.

Ziyin is the word of Emperor Wanzhen, many years ago, when the two had a good brotherhood, Liu Changpeng often called Emperor Wanzhen like this.

Emperor Wanzhen didn't respond, waiting for Liu Changpeng to continue.

"Watch out for the people around you." Changpeng Liu's tone was as if he had been in the past with Emperor Wan Zhen.

"Someone came to work with me with the latest weapons drawings from your Ministry of Industry. This person is extremely ambitious, and he also colludes with the Lan State. ”

"I see." Emperor Wanzhen bowed his head, "Get out, the people who are with you in the world don't let me see it again." ”

"Hmm. There will be no goodbye in this life. Liu Changpeng stood up, "Shen Ziyin, I wish you all the best in the second half of your life." ”

After speaking, Changpeng Liu turned around and walked like a fly and left the imperial study.

Emperor Wan Zhen was a little puzzled by Liu Changpeng.

What kind of person would do that for the sake of another?

But in any case, the affairs in the south are completely over, and the follow-up affairs only need the officials of the imperial court to perform their duties in the past to operate.

For Shen Qi, subduing the Southern Chamber of Commerce is almost a matter of being caught.

The Qin family then returned to Spring Breeze City smoothly.

Tong Jiu took over the business of the Liu family and the rest of the bandit industry under the noses of everyone.

The so-called starving camel is bigger than a horse, such a big stall, Tong Jiu actually looks like it.

Of course, he directly put a large part of the industry under Shen Qi's name.

The navigation of the entire Moyang River was completely handed over to the government, and the surviving bandits were also taken into custody one by one and waited for their release.

Under the guidance of Shen Qi, the Ding family cured the "disease" of the Ding family's son, and completely got out of the state of infatuation with whiteness, and the Ding family and Shen Qi stepped on the same boat from then on.

As the last leading merchant, the Gusu family is the last leading merchant, and the other three are all obedient, so their family will naturally not be maverick.

When she learned the news that Qin Siwan and Yan Zhanpeng were married, Shen Qi was sincerely happy for her.

As his royal account office, remarriage is such a big thing, Shen Qi can't help but say.

So she waved her hand and gave Yan Zhanpeng the position of the chief guard of the princess's mansion.

Yan Zhanpeng directly changed from a bandit leader to a royal guard, and he could be regarded as soaring.

After the south is pacified, it will soon be possible to give Emperor Wanzhen the first amount of silver.

It's not easy.

Starting from the imperial capital, there were bumps and bumps along the way, and after arriving in the south, he encountered danger again and again, and finally laid a good foundation.

However, the two biggest heroes, Lin Duci and Tang Zongjiu, are still unconscious.

For ten days and nights, even Emperor Wanzhen had already received the news, but the two of them were still lying in bed.

Shen Qi has been staying by Tang Zongjiu's side and never leaving.

How Lin Duci survived, Shen Qi didn't know.

Tang Zongjiu experienced a skirmish, and was bombarded head-on by the suicide explosion specially targeted at him by the other party, and then lost three souls and seven souls by the news of Shen Qi's disappearance, and finally almost went mad.

If it were any other person, it would probably have gone to the Netherworld to report at this time.

The imperial doctors arranged by Emperor Wanzhen were not so fast, so Shen Qi made a special trip to the Bai family and asked the Bai family to see Tang Zongjiu and Lin Duci.

Bai Yunyun's matter brought a lot of trouble to Ding and the Bai family at the same time, and the news provided by Shen Qi eliminated the estrangement between the two families in time, and Wen Songhan specially sent a book to the Bai family to tell the whole story.

Therefore, even if Shen Qi is just an ordinary person, the Bai family will treat each other with courtesy.

When he heard that it was Lin Duci and Tang Zongjiu who needed to be treated, the head of the Bai family personally went into battle to see the two of them.

Even so, the two still showed no signs of waking up, which made Shen Qi anxious.

It can be seen how much Liu Changqing has laid a dead end for them this time.

After another two days, Tang Zongjiu finally opened his eyes again.

"Jun Ge!" Shen Qi waited for so many days, and when he saw Tang Zongjiu sobering up, tears couldn't help but form in the corners of his eyes.

"Fengzhi." The first person he could see when he opened his eyes was Shen Qi, and Tang Zongjiu's heart couldn't help but warm a little.

"Junge, you've finally woken up." Shen Qi was a little excited, "How are you feeling now?" ”

"Su Fang! Junge is awake! Shen Qi shouted outside, "Go and invite Mr. Bai!" ”

"Are you alright?" Tang Zongjiu raised his hand to caress Shen Qi's cheek.

His memory is still stuck in the moment when he couldn't find Shen Qi in Liu Yuan's master bedroom.

"I'm fine! Jun Ge! I don't have anything to do! Shen Qi held Tang Zongjiu's hand and pressed his face against Tang Zongjiu's palm.

"It's okay...... it's okay" Tang Zongjiu's breath was weak, but the bad guy didn't look so pale.

"Jun Ge, you have been in a coma for more than ten days, and I am worried about death." Shen Qi said softly and squeamishly.

"Worries you." Tang Zongjiu said.

Shen Qi rubbed in Tang Zongjiu's broad palm.

"Junge, Liu Changqing bullied me, he bullied me, he made me feel wronged."

This coquettish tone is like a little kitten begging for food, soft and soothing.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you in time, it's my fault."

"Well, it's your fault, next time you are not allowed to do such a dangerous thing, you can't leave me for so far and so long, otherwise you won't know if I'm being bullied."

"Okay." The corners of Tang Zongjiu's mouth hooked up a smile, "Then can you tell me what happened that day?" ”

"Do you know Cui Yushu in our store?" Shen Qi asked.

Tang Zongjiu nodded.

"He is Changpeng Liu's 'woman' who has been the only favorite in Jiaofang for ten years!" Shen Qi said.

When Tang Zongjiu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

After that, Shen Qi told everything after that.

Until she was taken to the dormitory.

Tang Zongjiu's hand clenched suddenly.

He was unconscious at the time.

If it weren't for his fate, Liu Changqing's counterattack this time would really have wiped them out.

Shen Qi said very simply, and directly brushed over the matter of Liu Changqing's desire to violate her, but Tang Zongjiu knew very well in his heart that it was not so easy.

Finally, Tong Jiu backstabbed Liu Changqing and saved her.

Fortunately, Shen Qi is fine, if something really happens to Shen Qi, Tang Zongjiu will hate himself for the rest of his life.

"I'm sorry, Fengzhi, there's no next time." Tang Zongjiu said.

"Hmmm! There will be no next time! Shen Qi lay gently in Tang Zongjiu's arms.

The originally warm embrace was cool and there was no temperature at this time.

Shen Qi felt sad in his heart.

"You don't know, I heard the explosion, and when I saw your body, I was really scared, but I couldn't believe it, I didn't believe it at all. I can't accept that something happened to you. Shen Qi choked up.

"Hmm. I can't accept that something happened to you. ”

"I think I might be able to understand Changpeng Liu's mind a little." Shen Qi said, "When he learned that Gu Wanye was beaten to death by his mother, he must not be able to accept it, right?" ”

"Perhaps."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Your Highness, Doctor Bai has arrived." Su Fang's voice sounded from outside the house.

Shen Qi was a little reluctant to leave Tang Zongjiu's chest.

After Dr. Bai walked into the room, Shen Qi retreated.

"Princess, there are two guests who want to see you." Su Fang said.

"Guest?" Shen Qi raised her eyes, what guests from the south would come to her?

"It's the sister of the Wu family." Su Fang said with a smile.

"Wu Weiwei and Wu Weiman!" Shen Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Shen Qi hurriedly ran to the front hall of the Tang Mansion.

After not seeing each other for many days, the Wu family sisters faded from their eyebrows and became more immature.

"Weiwei, Weiwei!"

When Shen Qi saw the two sisters, he smiled and showed a row of teeth.

"Your Highness the Princess!" The sisters were also very happy to see Shen Qi.

"Why are you here?" Shen Qi took the two of them by the hand and took the sisters to a chair next to them and asked them to sit down.

"This time, the emperor sent a few doctors from the Tai Hospital to see the concubine and Lord Lin, and the queen mother knew that we had a good relationship with Your Royal Highness, so she specially asked us to accompany you and see you." Wu Weiwei said with a smile.

"The queen said, you and the horse are out of the house, in case there is a headache and brain fever, this own doctor is always more reliable than the outside." Wu Weimang followed.

"So you're going to come with me from now on?" Shen Qi's eyes lit up a little more.

Wu Weiwei and Wu Weimao glanced at each other.

"Yes." The sisters were also a little excited, "Master said that you have to go outside to make a difference. ”

"Good! That's nice! Shen Qi smiled and said, "I'm so happy to have you two with me." ”

"That's right! Have you met Siwan? Shen Qi asked.

"I've seen it." Wu Weiwei said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Sister Siwan really found her lover this time." ”

"Huh? Sister, do you want to find a lover too? Wu Weimang teased.

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Wu Weiwei's face flushed, and she reached out to pinch Wu Weimao.

"All of them, the girls in my princess's mansion, all of them can meet their lovers!" Shen Qi said happily.

But in the next second, the three of them suddenly fell silent.

They thought of Wang Banxi at the same time.

"Banxi, she ......" Shen Qi was too busy during this time, and the news of the entire south was blocked by Liu Changqing a lot, and she simply didn't know anything about the news of the imperial capital.

"Is she okay?"

The sisters looked at each other.

"It's not very good." Wu Wei sighed.

"We visited her once before we came to the South."

Because Shen Tan's wedding date has been set, Emperor Wanzhen issued a decree to officially establish Shen Tan as the crown prince.

And Wang Banxi is the quasi-fourth princess, and even the future queen.

Wang Banxi deeply felt that "himself" was "dying".

When the sisters saw Wang Banxi, the girl cried so much that she was haggard.

At this time, everyone outside was saying that Shen Tan accompanied Ji Ningxin to buy jewelry.

Ji Ningxin's status as a "side concubine" is much higher than that of Wang Banxi's "concubine".

After all, Shen Tan is the crown prince, and even ordinary men can't accept a cold wife, let alone the prince?

When a man has passed the freshness period of a total of women, no amount of favor will disappear.

What about the crown princess, who makes the side concubine more gentle and petty?

Before getting married, this prospective princess "fell out of favor".

There are different opinions outside, and the good and bad have spread all over the world.

"I'm really glad you came to see me." Wang Banxi's eyes were red.

She was already thin, but now she looks weaker and weaker.

"We're going to the South." The sisters also felt sorry for Wang Banxi, "Come and say goodbye to you." ”

"That's good." Wang Banxi smiled bitterly, "In this life, I will never have the opportunity to see the outside world." ”

"Banxi ......" Wu Weimang held her hand.

Wang Banxi has been in a bad mood all the time, and his whole person is wilted, obviously he has entered summer, but his little hands are still a little cold.

"I've confessed." Wang Banxi's expression was gloomy.

No one in the whole Xi Kingdom can help Wang Banxi get out of such a "predicament".

"Banxi, there will be hope." Wu Weiwei tried her best to comfort, "Think about Sister Qin, think about Xinru." ”

"Yes, maybe the current situation is ironclad, but it doesn't mean that there will be no turnaround in the future," Wu Weimang said, "Isn't this an official wedding yet?" ”

At this moment, only the girl who "came out of the princess's mansion" dared to say such a thing to Wang Banxi.

"You can't give up on yourself, Banxi, you still have us." Wu Weiwei said.

Wang Banxi and the sisters glanced at each other and bowed their heads.

"When we go to the south, ask Shu Ning and see if she has a way." Wu Weimang said.

"Don't." Wang Banxi shook his head, "Shen ...... His Royal Highness is Shu Ning's own brother, and he can't hurt their brotherhood because of me. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three girls fell silent for a while.

Yes, Shen Qi and Shen Tan are compatriots, Wang Banxi is kind by nature, and she can't do anything to embarrass Shen Qi.

This is also the bad part of Shen Tan's "forced marriage" this time, he saw the sisterhood between Wang Banxi and Shen Qi, and took advantage of Wang Banxi's kindness.

It is better to let Wang Banxi be sad alone, but also to achieve his own goal.

But in Shen Tan's opinion, what is wrong with him? He just wanted to marry Wang Banxi as his wife.

Every time he visited Wang Banxi's boudoir at night, he would tell Wang Banxi his purpose frankly.

I'm sorry, I'm so despicable, so despicable that I want to trap you around me for the rest of your life.

"No matter what," Wang Banxi stretched out his hands and hugged the sisters in his arms, "I'm really happy that you can come today." After I went to the south, when I greeted Shu Ning, the most gratifying thing about this matter was that Shu Ning was my 'sister-in-law', and maybe the future would not be as painful as I imagined. ”

"Banxi, it must be good." The sisters hugged back.

Shen Qi listened to the sisters' narration and was speechless for a while.

After a long time, Shen Qi spoke.

"Looks like I'm going to have to go back in a while."
