Chapter 148: Truth or Fog?
Chu Yunxi calmly took out a small pill.
Aunt Liu's body trembled, and now, when she couldn't see Chu Yunxi pulling anything out, she would instinctively feel it, and she felt a faint pain all over her body.
Aunt Liu looked at the father and daughter viciously, it really blocked her way of life, it seems that she can't keep silent anymore.
"I say! I said yes. ”
Chu Yunxi hooked his lips, "Say it, let's listen." ”
Aunt Liu tidied herself up, and then spoke:
"I am Dongyiguo, the orphan of General Liu."
"General Liu? Liu Zhenshan? ”
General Chu remembered such a number one person, he became famous at a young age because of an enemy general he killed, and that was the first general he killed, which was General Liu of Dongyi State.
"Yes, you killed my father, and the revenge of killing my father is not shared, so I naturally want to avenge my father!"
Aunt Liu seems to be full of hatred.
"Then why didn't you assassinate me? But to stay by my side for so many years? ”
General Chu couldn't figure it out.
Aunt Liu brewed her emotions and showed a look of loss and remorse.
"At first, I was afraid that you would be on guard, and I would miss it, but after a long time, I had feelings for you that I shouldn't have, and I couldn't do it. I don't have a heart as ruthless as you. ”
General Chu staggered back a step, if this is the case, what kind of evil fate is this?
He was not wrong to fight for his country and kill enemy generals. can avenge her father, and you can't say that Aunt Liu is wrong.
If it were him, I am afraid that he would do anything to avenge the murder of his father. He suddenly felt a little guilty about Aunt Liu.
Looking at his father's expression, Chu Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and Aunt Liu's words stirred up her father's emotions, could this be the rhetoric she had thought of a long time ago?
Aunt Liu is from Dongyi Kingdom, this is a definite fact, but whether she is General Liu's orphan or not has to be said separately.
"Aunt Liu, I will send someone to verify your identity, and if what you say is true, I will also hand you over to the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as I say. If you have half a lie, I will not give you another chance to quibble. ”
Chu Yunxi's words reminded General Chu, yes, she can't fully believe the Liu family, she has deceived him so many times, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not lie to him again.
"Someone, detain Aunt Liu and keep her under strict guard."
General Chu thought of his comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives for the country, as a general, he could die on the battlefield, and General Liu could be regarded as a well-deserved death.
It wasn't until the door was locked that Aunt Liu's tense heartstrings relaxed a little.
Recalling that she endured humiliation and worked hard for more than ten years, but she still did not achieve what she wanted.
What she needs now is time, so that she can see Jun Hongyan's ending clearly, and also make the next step and plan the way back.
Let Chu Yunxi and them check, the longer they check, the better.
In the next few days, there were endless arguments in the court about Jun Hongyan and Xiao Guifei. General Chu also went out early and returned late all day, and had no time for anything else.
Chu Yunxi closed the door and transcribed the book at home, waiting for the results of the secret guard's investigation of Aunt Liu.
In the court, she couldn't help Jun Lingyun, so she helped him pull out these villains in the back.
"Miss, you haven't been out for four days, and you're about to get moldy."
Xiaolian complained while studying Chu Yunxi's ink, she was afraid that if the young lady continued to transcribe like this, her eyes would be tired.
"I think it's because you can't hold it back in the house."
Hexiang brought refreshments and teased.
"Sister Hexiang, don't you want to go out for a walk?"
Xiaolian pouted, she wasn't all for herself.
"I heard that it's not peaceful outside these days, and it's good for Miss to stay at home, but it's not good to transcribe books every day, so Miss might as well go to the garden for a walk."
Hexiang also comforted.
Chu Yunxi put down the pen and stretched, as soon as she copied the book, she forgot the time, and she did feel a little tired at this time.
"What's going on out there?"
Chu Yunxi thought, it shouldn't be a big deal. may still be the trouble between Jun Hongyan and the Xiao family.
"I heard that some people from the disaster area have come to Beijing to join their relatives recently. The seven aunts and eight aunts were lucky to be helped, but there were always some unfortunate ones who lived on the streets. Petty theft has also increased. ”
People in the disaster area? Chu Yunxi's heart tightened, she remembered that in her previous life, the drought did not spread to the capital. What's more, this time, Jun Lingyun also raised so many disaster relief silver taels, how could there be disaster victims in Beijing?
A bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, the head of the household is still a member of the Xiao family! The Xiao family, under the emperor's nose, moved the disaster relief silver tael?
It must still be a big move, otherwise, with the amount of money raised this time, this situation would not have happened.
"Let's go out on the street."
Chu Yunxi said that he would leave, and Hexiang and Xiaolian hurriedly followed.
"Miss, you really have to go out, otherwise, let's listen to Sister Hexiang and go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, right?"
Hearing what Hexiang said, Xiaolian was also a little worried about Chu Yunxi's safety.
"Didn't you pout and want to go out for a walk? Why are you persuading me to stay in the house again? Don't worry, your lady has bodyguards, and she's safe. ”
Chu Yunxi stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, looking up at the sky secretly, the bodyguards mentioned by the crown princess refer to them, right? But they really didn't hide in the sky.
The two glanced at each other, dutifully followed, and acted as good bodyguards.
Usually, as long as the country has not yet reached the point of ruin, the capital with the emperor will be the safest and most prosperous place in a country.
Chu Yunxi lifted the curtain and looked outside, the small merchants and vendors were still shouting, and there was a lively atmosphere, but there were a few more people begging than usual.
"Go to the city gate" Chu Yunxi ordered the coachman.
In the center of the capital, there is no real suffering of the people.
"Alas, alas, you have to give money for taking things!"
Suddenly, a bun seller shouted.
"This little rabbit has already come to steal my buns twice, and if I see you again, I won't break your legs."
The vendor warns with a fist.
Xiaolian tugged at Chu Yunxi's sleeve, "Miss, look at that child, he is only six or seven years old, so pitiful, should we take care of it?" ”
Chu Yunxi shook his head:
"We helped one of them, and if the others come to ask for help, do we care or not? In this case, if you can't help all of them, don't help any of them. What's more, the vendor only scolded a few words, and did not really hurt the child, he was a hard-mouthed and kind-hearted person. Let's go back and prepare more, and then come and help them. ”
Secretly nodded in agreement, when you go out, protecting yourself is the top priority, the crown princess is really wise, she is worthy of being the person whom His Royal Highness the crown prince likes and knows how to make trade-offs.
The carriage traveled slowly, and near the city gate, Chu Yunxi put on a hat and got out of the carriage, found a tea shop for the merchants to settle down, and asked for a pot of tea.
While observing the situation at the city gate, I listened to the discussions of the tea customers around me.
"This world is really chaotic, there are so many beggars in the capital."
"Where are the beggars, those are the displaced people from the disaster area, these people are lucky, they can escape all the way to the capital, it is said that many people have died in Licheng, and they are all in chaos."
"If this continues, will there be a riot? Otherwise, let's buy more food and store it. ”
"Didn't the imperial court raise a lot of disaster relief silver, how could there be disaster victims entering Beijing?"
"Then who knows, the world is as black as a crow."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being put in prison and be with King An."
Chu Yunxi looked at the city gate, and from time to time there were people in tattered clothes who wanted to enter the city, but they were all stopped back.
