The inn is divided into two floors, the lobby on the first floor for dinner and the second floor for guest room accommodation.

When Li Xuandu came, Qing Luanwei had already taken over the entire second floor, so he had never set foot on the second floor.

The Zhou Tingchao family he wanted to save was placed by Qingluanwei in the Tianzi C-shaped guest room on the second floor. Just when Li Xuandu and Yu Qingning were fighting fiercely in the rain, a person came from the rain, but did not go through the front door, but quietly entered the lobby through the back door, and then went up the stairs to the second floor, and finally stopped in front of the door of the C-shaped guest room.

The visitor hesitated for a moment, pushed the door and entered, at this time the family already knew about the fight outside, the woman held her daughter and shrunk on the bed, and a middle-aged man in a green shirt stood in front of him, protecting the two of them behind him.

When the woman holding her daughter saw the visitor, her heart was immediately dead.

The person who came stood still, his feet slightly apart, his hands behind his back, and the cyan official uniform on his body was particularly dazzling.

The Great Wei Dynasty customized, officials above the third rank wore red official uniforms, officials above the sixth rank wore purple official uniforms, and seven and below the seventh rank wore blue official uniforms.

There is only one kind of person who will wear a cyan official uniform.

That's Qingluanwei.

Qingluanwei from the left and right governors to the wrestlers, school captains, and small flags, all wear cyan official uniforms, the difference is only the embroidered patterns on the official uniforms. From the first rank of the left governor to the emperor's reward, embroidered python, also known as the python robe; is the second grade of the right governor to lower the first class, embroidered flying fish, that is, the famous flying fish suit; from the second grade of the governor Tongzhi and the third grade of the governor of the first grade, embroidered bullfighting, called the bullfighting suit.

The person in front of him was dressed in a bullfighting suit and carrying a Wenluan knife at his waist.

This shows that the person who came was a high-ranking official of Qingluanwei who was above the third grade, and unlike the young commander, the person who came looked like he was probably not confused, weathered, and killed, obviously not the kind of boy who was born in Zhong Mingding's food house can be compared.

The person who came swept over Zhou Tingchao's family of three with a substantial gaze, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Tingchao's body, and he slowly spoke: "My name is Qian Xing, and Qingluan Wei is the governor of the capital, and I am from the imperial capital." ”

Zhou Tingchao protected himself in front of the mother and daughter, and did not speak.

The uninvited guest named Qian Xing didn't care, and continued: "Zhao Yong, those people, it is difficult to achieve a big thing, and it is expected that they will be served off by others, and I came this time because I have another purpose." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said: "Speaking of this, I really admire the courage of Lord Zhou, and I dare to write that this year's war in the northwest, the drought in eastern Liaodong, and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are all because of the lack of personnel in the imperial court. ”

Zhou Tingchao raised his head and was silent.

Qian Xing cleared his throat, "I will ask you one last time, what is the restlessness of the country?"

Zhou Tingchao, who had been holding his head high, finally spoke: "I have made it very clear in the recital that there has never been a precedent for the Queen Mother to listen to politics in this dynasty, but there is an iron law that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and now the Queen Mother's training is already a violation of the laws of the ancestors." In addition, the excessive expenditure in the palace, the birthday ceremony for the queen mother, the rebuilding of the West Garden, and the greed for ink from top to bottom of the various yamen, the treasury has long been empty, and the people are not able to make a living, so the war in the northwest, the drought in Liaodong, and the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are all warnings from heaven and must be observed. ”

"Obsessed!" Qian Xing let out a sigh of slight disappointment, although the voice was not loud, but it was full of creepy horror.

Seeing how he moved, Zhou Tingchao fell forward violently and lay on the ground in the guest room, the whole person was in a big shape, unable to move.

Seeing this scene, the woman's pear blossom brought rain, covered her mouth tightly, and did not dare to cry, and the young girl in her arms did not know what to do, but cried with her mother.

Qian Xing hesitated for a moment, but still didn't do it immediately, paced to Zhou Tingchao's side, slowly squatted down, and whispered in his ear: "Behind you are your wife and daughter, they are all watching you, waiting for you to take them home safe and sound, even if you don't think about yourself, think about them, can't you say something else?"

Zhou Tingchao's head was pressed against the ground, and he slowly closed his eyes, only two lines of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Qian Xing was disappointed, and stood up abruptly: "Let me ask you again, who taught you to say these things? As long as you say the person behind you, the Queen Mother can not blame the past, even if she is promoted to a knight, it is not impossible." ”

Zhou Tingchao still closed his eyes, and his tone was resolute: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao established the dynasty, I have been in the Great Wei for two hundred years. This is the duty of a courtier. Where the ministry is, I don't need anyone to teach me."

Qian Xing took a step back, no longer looked at him, and sighed again: "Being used as a gunman, but I still don't know it, and I don't realize it." ”

He abruptly accentuated his tone, "Do you know that this Dao of yours has already involved the foundation of my Great Wei Dynasty!"

Zhou Tingchao closed his eyes and said nothing.

Qian Xing lowered his voice again: "Now in the outer court, there are many people who have been affected by you, those old friends and colleagues of yours, as well as the fellow villagers of the same year, have all been arrested, today you will continue to be obsessed, those people have to die one by one, do you know this? No matter whether your wife and daughter live or die, you can't and don't care about the life or death of others, right? Don't you want to save them?"

Zhou Tingchao grabbed the ground with his ten fingers, almost flipping his nails, and his face showed a grief-stricken expression, whimpering lowly.

But he still did not let go.

Qian Xing's tone turned cold and said: "In the name of negligence, you harbor evil intentions, write such rebellious words, up to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, down to the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries, all of them are full of righteous indignation, since you insist that no one is behind your back, it is your own madness, in order to invite your name!"

Zhou Tingchao slowly opened his eyes, the tears on his face were not dry, and he muttered: "I Zhou Tingchao is not a first-class jinshi and the first, not a second-class jinshi, but a third-class jinshi background, no intention and no hope of going to the pavilion to worship the prime minister, but the food of the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, the treasury of the Great Wei Dynasty has been empty every year over the years, after the queen mother came to the dynasty to train the government, and built a large number of buildings, officials at all levels are obedient, and take the opportunity to loot, resulting in the people are not happy, the reason why I want to go on this way, one is for my Great Wei's country, and the other is for my Great Wei's world! ”

Qian Xing was condescending, and said expressionlessly: "Evil words confuse the public, slander the court, and according to the laws of the Great Wei, there will be no forgiveness." ”
