Zhou Min's surviving person?

Xu Qi'an, who heard this, first reacted: She lied.

In addition to the officials, the officials from all over the country, from the political envoys of a state to the dignity of a county, are all outsiders.

As the commander of the embassy, Zhou Min, who has experienced the experience of the division, will certainly not be an exception. Moreover, the experience is his official position on the surface, and his identity behind the scenes is to fight the secret.

Will Wei Yuan let a secret son take his wife and children with him? Isn't that a minute becoming two or five boys?

"Zhou Min?" Governor Zhang frowned, "What grievances does he have." ”

A posture of "who Zhou Min is, I don't know".

Yang Yingying said mournfully: "My husband Jun was originally an experience in the command of the Yunzhou Metropolitan Envoy. ”

Governor Zhang was taken aback, his attitude changed, and he bent down to help Yang Yingying, who was kneeling, "It turned out to be Zhou's wife, what happened to Zhou's experience?

"Qingzhou and Yunzhou are states of the same level, so Yang Bu's political envoy may not take over this case. Well, this official is the governor of Yunzhou, and the three divisions of Yunzhou must obey my orders. Madame has no grievances, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

It turns out that not only women are born actors, but also their acting skills as officials are among the best.... Xu Qi'an watched in silence and watched Lao Zhang perform alone.

Yang Yingying hesitated for a moment, stared at Governor Zhang, and said, "My lord, can the women take a look at your appointment documents, or the official seal?"

As soon as these words came out, Governor Zhang and the watchmen frowned together.

The gongs and silver gongs couldn't help but hold down the handle of the knife and looked at Yang Yingying.

This is not something that an ordinary woman can say, even if she is an experienced lady.

She knows the market very well.... Xu Qi'an also held the handle of the knife and stared at Yang Yingying seriously, this woman did not have the slightest fluctuation of qi on her body, and the coverage rate of body fat was not like practicing martial arts.

But it can only rule out that the other party is a martial artist, and other systems have bells and whistles, and there are too many means to be taken lightly.

Governor Zhang quietly took two steps back and said, "There is Lao Jiang Jingong to take the documents and official seals of the official. ”

Cowardice... Jiang Luzhong glanced at him and took the documents and official seals.

Governor Zhang didn't answer, and automatically ignored Jiang Luzhong's gesture and looked at Yang Yingying: "This official reads that you are the wife of experience, and allows you to take a look." ”

Jiang Luzhong had no choice but to step forward and show the documents and official seals.

Yang Yingying looked carefully for a long time, in fact, it was the first time she looked at the appointment documents, and her eyes searched for the words "Yunzhou" and "governor", and then after seeing the red and glamorous seal, she had no doubts.

Up to now, the other party's willingness to fight with her for so long, a weak woman, is actually a kind of sincerity and style.

Yang Yingying knelt on the ground again, kowtowed, and said: "Yang Yingying, a folk woman, was originally a woman from the Yunzhou Teaching Division, who met and fell in love with Lord Zhou a few years ago, got rid of her cheap status, and has been serving by Lord Zhou's side...."

Everyone tacitly showed a "so it is" expression.

... It turned out to be a seafood merchant, no wonder she was more knowledgeable than ordinary women, and she also knew how to read documents and official seals. Xu Qi'an suddenly realized.

In this era, seafood merchants were a highly educated and highly educated group among women. Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, proficient in everything.

Yang Yingying simply said a few words about her past with Zhou Min, and calmly said that she was a woman raised outside, and Zhou Min would only meet her once in a while.

"Some time ago, Lord Zhou suddenly came to find the woman and handed over an object to me, he said that he might be in danger in the near future, if he really encountered an accident, let me hide immediately, and then find a way to leave Yunzhou and hand over this thing to Lord Yang, the political envoy of Qingzhou.

"It didn't take long for the woman to receive the news of Lord Zhou's death...."Yang Yingying's tears rolled down, and she couldn't cry:

The woman was so sad and frightened that she did not dare to continue to live any longer, so she hid in a sister's house and asked her to find out the news.

"After hiding for a while, the sister of the folk woman told me that Zhao Ye's caravan was going to Qingzhou in the near future, so I borrowed twenty taels of silver from her, bought a horse, and left Yunzhou with the caravan...."

After that, everyone will know.

Xu Qi'an watched coldly, looking at Yang Yingying's micro-expression, this time when she spoke, her eyes were impartial, and her voice was sad and full of emotion.

There is no hint of fraud.

So he looked for clues from Yang Yingying's words - Zhou Min did not reveal his identity as a secret son until his death, even if the other party was a completely trustworthy friend of Guan Bao. This shows that Zhou Min is a qualified shadow.

If he easily tells his identity, it will be very suspicious.

As for why he went to Qingzhou to find Ziyang Jushi instead of other neighboring states, Xu Qi'an's judgment was that Zhou Min didn't believe anyone, only this great Confucian of Yunlu Academy.

First of all, compared with ordinary scholars, the great Confucians of Yunlu Academy are more trustworthy because of the cultivation system. After all, rotten people can't follow the Confucian system.

Secondly, there is a dispute between Yunlu Academy and the scholars from Guozijian, and with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, it is the right choice to find the Ziyang monk.

Governor Zhang frowned, "You suspect that Zhou Min was killed." ”

Yang Yingying nodded vigorously: "This is already obvious, isn't it, please ask the adults to make decisions for my husband." ”

"This...."Governor Zhang pondered for a moment: "Okay, this official promises you, you can take out the last thing left for you by Zhou Shi." ”

Yang Yingying immediately kowtowed: "Lord Xie." ”

Xu Qi'an couldn't help but look at it differently, Lao Zhang's scheming is okay, he is worthy of the old fritter in officialdom, and he who follows Wei Yuan to do things, his heart is very dirty.

Yang Yingying straightened up, put her hand into her arms, took out half a jade pendant, and offered it with both hands: "This is what Lord Zhou handed over to the women that night." ”

All eyes were on the jade pendant.

It was a semi-circular jade pendant, the whole body was clear green, it should have been a round jade, the middle was cut by a sharp weapon, and it was divided into two.

Jiang Luzhong took the jade pendant and handed it to Governor Zhang, who held it on his fingertips and rubbed it, silent.

"This looks like a token?" Jiang Luzhong said in a low voice, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qi'an and asked for his opinion.

Governor Zhang also looked at it.

Look at what I do, Lao Tzu will investigate the case, but he is not a soothsayer.... You two don't hide the idea of using me as a tool.... Xu Qi'an groaned: "Let's go to Yunzhou first, what's the use of guessing." ”

Governor Zhang put away the jade pendant and instructed the soldiers: "Continue to move forward and go to Yunzhou." ”

Dig a pit on the spot to bury the body, bring the surviving merchants and goods with them, and the team continues to set off, heading for Yunzhou along the official road.

....

The sun is shining, the warmth is warm, on this rare morning, Huaiqing finished practicing swords, and was about to call the palace maid to prepare hot water, turning his head to see, two palace maids sitting in the pavilion playing chess.

Huaiqing frowned, not that he was dissatisfied with the palace maids playing chess, but that they didn't know how to play chess at all.

She didn't say anything, and walked into the pavilion in silence to watch the two palace maids play chess.

The delicate little palace maids were completely forgetful and threw themselves into the chess game to fight, not noticing the approach of the master.

They play chess in a disorderly manner, do not understand layout, do not know how to compete for advantageous positions, and play like flying, and they don't seem to think.

Huaiqing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, this kind of child's play was very uncomfortable for her, a big player. But after looking at it for a moment, she understood.

This kind of chess is very simple, that is, it is to match who is first to line up into five pieces, vertical, horizontal or oblique, it doesn't matter, whoever has five stars first, is the winner.

I couldn't help but say, "What kind of chess is this?"

The two palace maids trembled in fright, got up in a panic, and replied in a soft voice: "It's backgammon." ”

Backgammon? What is this?

Huaiqing, who was rich in five cars, was stunned.

Another palace maid explained: "It was spread by Princess Lin'an, and now it has been passed in the palace, and everyone is playing." ”

She refers to the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

"I heard that even Chen Guifei said it was interesting. Another palace maid said.

She's just a stupid girl.... Huaiqing nodded and said, "The palace is going to bathe, so the cook doesn't have to prepare lunch." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing was going to hold a family banquet this morning, and the princes and princesses were given dinner in the Qianqing Palace.

After the bath, Princess Huaiqing left the garden and went to the Qianqing Palace.

She met her brothers and sisters in the palatial elegant hall, and in the absence of her, Lin'an, who likes to wear red dresses and gorgeous and complicated jewelry, is the center of the conversation.

Today is a little different, the royal brothers and sisters just greeted Huaiqing, and continued the topic just now.

"Lin'an has created a genre where the rules of backgammon are easy to understand and more interesting to play, and even the errands in my palace are easy to get started and play with relish. ”

"The name of our princess Lin'an will also be widely spread. ”

The face is round, the peach blossom eyes are charmingly framed, and I enjoy the praise of my brothers and sisters, and the corners of my mouth hook up a sweet smile, and I have a few words of modesty that are reserved and reserved.

Like a proud little hen who wants to show off and endures.

Seeing Huaiqing come in, she raised her snow-white chin slightly and put on a proud posture.

Be jealous of me, be jealous of me... framed the broken thoughts in his heart, and glanced at Huaiqing with his afterglow.

But the cold Huaiqing just sat and took a few sips of tea, ignoring the stupid sister.

Hum... Huaiqing was really jealous of me. Framed comforted himself in his heart.

Princess Huaiqing is an unsociable princess, this is not only because she is proud, but also because her ideas make the princes and princesses unable to guess, the princesses discuss the topic of good-looking clothes and rouge gouache, but she is interested in the four books and five classics.

When the princes discussed the current affairs and the overall situation, she would say: How to solve the flood, how to political officials?

The princes will be very uncomfortable, who knows? We are talking about the overall situation, it is a macro issue, don't you raise the bar?

Near noon, the eunuchs in Emperor Yuanjing's palace came over to invite a few princes and princesses over.

The framed fart followed behind the prince's brother, his skirt fluttering, and suddenly heard Huaiqing's voice behind him: "Lin'an." ”

Framed "hey" and laughed, couldn't control his expression at all, and said proudly: "What are you doing!"

Waiting for the other princes to walk away, Huaiqing said lightly: "Who taught you backgammon?"

"I created my own. Lin'an is actually very entangled, because this is what Xu Qi'an taught her, she shouldn't use her conscience for her own purposes, but her brothers speak so well that she can't stop it.

After a while, I'll say that Xu Ningyan taught me... She thought to herself.

"Later, when my father asks, you'd better say the same. Huaiqing walked outside, and his cold and pleasant voice was mixed with admonition:

"Father doesn't like that guy, between words, you have to know how to use your brain. ”

After speaking, Huaiqing added: "If you have one." ”

The three words "why" were framed and swallowed hard, and she was like a little lion with teeth and claws, and while catching up with Huaiqing, she said angrily:

"You don't have a brain, you don't have a brain!"

"I'm prettier than you and smarter than you, you see, Xu Ningyan is willing to be a cow and a horse for me, and I don't want you. ”

Huai Qing paused violently and glanced at him sternly.

Framed like a sturdy cat, "poof" a backward jump, and felt that he was too cowardly, and the peach blossom eyes stubbornly stared back.

Princess Huaiqing raised her slap.

"Brother Prince, Huaiqing is going to beat me. Framed screamed and fled.

At the banquet, Emperor Yuan Jing really asked about it.

How did Huaiqing know that his father was going to ask... Lin An was shocked, and subconsciously glanced at the annoying Huaiqing, her beautiful face was expressionless, and she ate vegetables by herself.

The framed eyes "purred" and smiled coquettishly: "Because Lin'an is the daughter of my father, and my father is the smartest person in the world." ”

Emperor Yuan Jing laughed heartily.

Father has really been paying attention to the situation in the palace, just like he silently looks down on the court... Huaiqing ate without changing his face.

She didn't cultivate her cronies in the palace, never actively inquired about the palace news, and she didn't even know about the backgammon that had been circulating recently.

It's not that Huaiqing doesn't know, it's that she doesn't want to know.

Princess Huaiqing has to admit that although Lin'an's sister is extremely stupid, even if it is waste firewood, it is useful, it all depends on how you use her.

At least when it comes to pleasing his father, no one in the palace can beat Lin'an, including those concubines who are not favored or have been favored.
