At the beginning of the day, the Qingzhou city gate slowly opened heavily, and the people with sore legs and feet waiting at the city gate rushed in, and a thin horse pulled a dilapidated carriage slowly, running over the light dust on the official road, squeaking towards the rising sun, the coachman looked back and shouted: "Sir, this is to Qingzhou City, and you will pay the car money first." ”

It was clearly a man in the car, but he poked out a hand that was whiter and more slender than the girl, handed over some loose silver, and the coachman put it in the palm of his hand, laughed and shouted, raised his whip high, and drove into the city with ease.

Zhou Hongxiang ranked second among the princes, was born by the queen, and his status was precious, but it was a pity that the queen died early and became the first queen, and Emperor Chu followed and set up a successor queen and gave birth to the third son Zhou Honglin.

Zhou Hongxiang has no biological mother's support, the precious identity is more and more embarrassing, compared to Zhou Honglin is not so valuable, the folk say that there will be a stepfather, Emperor Chu has a new queen and a new son-in-law, so he naturally does not like Zhou Hongxiang a little, simply handed over Zhou Hongxiang to the queen mother to raise and grow up, the original crown prince is to fall on the head of the more valuable Zhou Honglin, only because of Emperor Chu's promise to the queen, Zhou Hongxiang was reluctantly established as the prince, and Zhou Honglin was established as the king of Lin. With the protection of the Queen Mother, the prince is a stable adult, fortunately, others are competitive, Wen Taowu is very good, and he has made many achievements in several wars, and he has won the hearts of the people. It's just that he is stubborn and not tactful enough, and he is more meritorious and shocking, and his prestige in the court is so high that Emperor Chu is jealous, and the danger of dethronement has repeatedly appeared, and the prince's heart is not very stable.

The prince's cultivation is inherited from the Puji faction, this faction originally had no name after years of seclusion, and the people were not prosperous, and the suzerain and the sect were only a dozen people, but the prince worshiped this faction by chance, and learned a good ability to be able to write and martial arts, this faction gradually became famous, the mountain gate became lively, and the rugged stone road at the foot of the mountain was forced to be stepped on by the yearning people into a slippery ice, but it became a testing ground before the entry, blocking many beginners who did not learn and did not know.

The prosperity of the sect was originally a good thing, but the sect master of this sect was distressed, he knew that his catties and taels were really the prince's qualifications, plus a few strange books left by the ancestor, and he had a little bit of luck, so he could teach the prince such an amazing and talented person.

He thought about it for a long time, if there were too many people in the door, and he used up this little bit of luck, wouldn't the disaster be coming, after a few careful considerations, he finally closed the mountain gate, and scolded the doorman, saying that he wanted to travel outside the square and find a line of flying immortal vitality.

Xu is knowing that his situation is difficult, the prince does not dare to relax for a moment, practice martial arts and practice to deal with official affairs are very diligent, in order not to oversleep due to fatigue all day, the prince's mansion actually deliberately split a vacant land, raised a few roosters, every day in the east when the light is shining, the sound of roosters crow one after another high-pitched and loud, no one in the mansion can sleep peacefully.

Practicing a set of swords in the martial arts arena, the prince sweated all over, and Xinna's concubine Bai Shao was a wonderful person who knew and tasted, and she shouted hello, and pinched the handkerchief with her fingers to wipe his sweat.

The prince glanced sideways slightly, but saw the chief manager Ma Xin coming over silently, standing on one side, so he quietly put aside Bai Shao's hand, and ordered with an indifferent expression: "You don't need to serve here, you can retreat." ”

Bai Shaodeng's face turned white, since she entered the house, because of her beautiful appearance and lively temperament, she even won the favor of the prince, although she has not yet slept and her name has not been decided, but she is faintly the first person among the concubines, when has she received such a cold reception, she pouted, twisted her shoulders, and reluctantly went out of the martial arts arena.

Seeing Bai Shao's figure disappear behind the Hanging Flower Gate, Ma Xin approached the prince and said softly: "Your Highness, Yin Chenqi of Qingzhou Mansion reported a murder, and the deceased person was Lord Huang's biological mother, Huang. ”

The prince's hand wiping the sword paused slightly, Xing frowned, and his face turned cold: "What's the matter, how do you take care of it." ”

Ma Xin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's the villain's negligence, thinking that Lord Huang is coming back soon, and the overall situation will definitely not go wrong." He raised his hands above his head, held the dossier and handed it over: "But Huang's death is really strange, Qingzhou Mansion Yin said that Huang's suicide, but the villain doesn't see it so simple." ”

"Suicide. The prince put his sword aside, flipped through a few pages of tissue paper, and after only reading these pages, he was already furious, and threw the file on Ma Xin, his face was gloomy and terrible: "Suicide, is it stupid to be in this palace, is there a person who stabbed himself five times and committed suicide, is this how Yin Suri of Qingzhou Mansion was on an errand." ”

"Well, the villain also felt strange, and he had already sent someone to investigate. Ma Xin took out a plain note from his sleeve and handed it over: "Your Highness, please see, this is the news that has just come back." ”

"Get up and talk back. After reading word by word, the prince's face became more and more embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, I ordered Qingzhou Mansion Yin to re-investigate the case, if the case cannot be found out within five days, they will also stab themselves five times to apologize." ”

Ma Xin got up slowly: "Your Highness, Qingzhou Mansion Yin has always been right to people, how biased things are, it is not uncommon in Qingzhou Mansion Yin, such an unfair thing is really too draining, the villain thinks, there must be a way to do it once and for all." ”

The prince bowed slightly: "This matter is over, Qingzhou Mansion Yin can't stay any longer, is the Tiandong recommended by the little sister before?" ”

Ma Xin lowered his hand: "Come, you have settled in the city, does Your Highness want to see him?" ”

The prince was silent, he already had his own ideas and plans in his heart, and raised his eyes and asked, "What about Lord Huang Xuanhuang, are you back?" ”

"Lord Huang has already entered the city this morning. Marsin replied.

The prince rubbed his fingers, and the thin plain paper turned into ashes, and there was a majesty and severity in his soft command: "Lord Huang's net worth and life will be handed over to you, if there is another mistake like the Huang family, you know the consequences." ”

Ma Xin bowed and said, "Wow." ”

The prince stared: "Go and invite the little sister to come over." ”

A few days later, the situation in the DPRK and China suddenly changed, Huang Xuan of the Criminal Department found out the Yongzhou corruption case and returned to Qingzhou, who expected his mother to die unexpectedly, he Ding Ding was worried about his post, and submitted the folds and a piece of evidence to the prince, after which this huge case fell on the prince, as soon as this matter came out, the people related to the case in the DPRK and China were not worried.

For several days, Luo Kui was very busy, early and late return with strange whereabouts, Jing Mo secretly followed a few times in private, but his skills were not as good as others, each time he just turned two streets, he lost it, and then he couldn't see half a shadow, he couldn't help but be suspicious, although he has always been shallow-hearted, but he loves to drill the tip of the horns, afraid that Luo Kui will have something to do outside, or someone else, so thinking like this, he finally can't sleep at night, and he is staying under the corridor in the middle of the night.

The night is as cool as water, Luo Kui let Du Heng set the car out of the door at lunchtime, and did not come back until midnight, tiptoeing into the door, for fear of alarming Jingmo and cloves, tonight the wind rose, shaking down the dead branches and leaves of the trees, and the corners of the clothes rubbed the low and dry flowers and trees in the bushes, making a light sound, and the moonlight light cage emitted a dark and strange shimmer.

Just walked a few steps on tiptoe, a careless bumped into a silent person under the porch, couldn't help but be startled, Luo Kui pressed his beating heart, raised the corners of his lips and laughed crisply: "What kind of skill are you practicing, pretending to be a ghost." ”

Jingmo first looked up and down carefully, and saw that her whole beard and tail were not damaged in the slightest, so she breathed a long sigh of relief and said mockingly: "You girl's family doesn't return home at night, and I'm embarrassed to say that I pretend to be a ghost, I want to ask you where you went to fool around." ”

Luo Kui knew his temperament, and he couldn't hide anything from his shallow heart, and his joy, anger, sorrow and joy were all on his face, so he didn't care about his ridicule, only picked up his ears, pouted and smiled: "Where am I going to fool around, what do I have to do with you." She took out a piece of silver from her sleeve and threw it into his hand: "Here you go, this is the money I earned by fooling around, do you want it?" ”

Silver in Jingmo, has always been closer than everything in the world, how can there be no reason, he really wanted to take it, but he didn't dare to take it in vain, thought for a long time, and finally said: "How did this silver come from." ”

"You're trying to ask if this money is clean? Seeing Jingmo's embarrassed expression, Luo Kui smiled more and more happily: "There is a bottle in the Li family in the south of the city that can't be eaten, please let me go over and palm my eyes, this is a thank you gift for me." ”

"Then, you can't come back so late, you're a girl, you can't be like this next time. Jingmo raised his hand to brush her hair, this sentence sounded like a complaint, but it faintly revealed a sense of concern.

The corners of Luo Kui's lips hung down, like the moon on the west wall, making a look of grievance: "I have shown you how many objects on weekdays, and I have never seen you give me a penny of thanks, so I blame me for coming back late." ”

"I have something to ask you, otherwise I wouldn't have waited for you in the middle of the night. Jingmo refused to accept softness, and refused to show his concern and confusion, so he pursed his mouth, but raised his hand and hugged Luo Kui's shoulder.

The autumn wind swept by, and the chill was biting from the crack in the shoulder skull, Luo Kui couldn't bear the cold, shrunk his neck, and his thin shoulders shivered for a while, although he was embraced by Jingmo and warmed a lot, but tonight he was different from the past, his expression was strange and his behavior was strange, so she was a little scared, she struggled out, and slightly sideways to avoid his hand: "What's important, you have to not sleep in the middle of the night, you have to ask today." ”

The two of them hid in the night, Rumo's hair was blown by the night breeze, like a wanton crazy entangled vine, Jingmo settled down, and then stammered: "That, that marriage contract, don't you really count." ”

I thought there was something very important, but as soon as these words came out, Luo Kui burst out laughing, and wanted to say a few words, but when she met his eyes that were drunk too much and were like drunk, she couldn't help but panic, and she saw a different emotion from his eyes. Luo Kui shrank cautiously, shook his head and said: "Don't count, don't count, naturally don't count, I didn't ask me what I meant when I made the marriage contract, how could I count." ”
