Chapter 474: In the past, he was a guest, but today he is a prisoner
Within a radius of 20 miles from Shengyi, the best lotus root flour is produced in Hexiang Town.
From its name, it can be seen that this town is famous for lotus, lotus seeds, lotus root powder is of good quality, has become a tribute, but the number of townspeople is not much, that is, more than 200 households.
When Yan Saburo first arrived, he saw that everyone had a smile on their faces, and the shadow caused by the Liao family's rebellion not long ago seemed to be gone.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the turmoil caused by this incident will definitely not be easily subsided.
Now the two of them choose a hotel to stay in, ask for the best room, and go out to the courtyard.
There are people here who clean regularly, but the white cat jumped on the tree and shook his tail after making a round of the yard: "It's not clean! The pyre is full of dust, and the sanitation is too sloppy!"
It's okay, who will clean up the ashes in the firewood room? Yan Saburo ignored her nitpicking, and only said to He Xiaoyuan: "I'm sorry for you to find out about the Liao family's recent situation, as well as the current situation in Shengyi." ”
He Xiaoyuan nodded.
The changes in the upper echelons of the country are too far away from the common people, except for the beginning when the army entered the city and the Tianyao Palace mutiny took place in front of everyone's eyes, the subsequent bloody rain and undercurrent surge are not accessible to ordinary people.
The people only know that a large number of nobles have recently been pushed to behead. The old lady who is usually high, the blood spurting out of her neck is also red, and she cried bitterly before she died, and there was no dignity at all.
The Liao family's rebellion has been suppressed, and Shengyi has launched a bloody purge, and everyone in the powerful is in danger. But Yan Saburo noticed that the Liao family's important names barely appeared in the list of prisoners who were publicly executed.
Why?
At the same time, the news of King Wei's reward for the front line also spread, and the prestige of Zhenbei Hou was even more skyrocketing.
"King Wei took the opportunity of the great victory in Qingling City to reward Han Zhao, but it was just to appease him, making it clear that the disaster of the Liao family would not implicate the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, so that he could suppress the rebellion of the Brown Army in the south with peace of mind. Speaking of this, He Xiaoyuan sneered, "Hey, Han Zhao Dan has a little brain, he shouldn't think that this is a sweet jujube." ”
"Look at the reward given by King Wei, tsk, it's also nerve-wracking to think about. She said disdainfully, "It seems that for Han Zhao, Wei Guo is really rewarded." "Then this is a very dangerous sign.
So she went out and didn't come back that night.
The two sides perform their own duties, He Xiaoyuan is responsible for finding out the news, and Yan Saburo is ...... It was to roll up her sleeves and clean up what she thought was unclean under the fingers of Chitose-sama.
At night, the courtyard is finally spotless, and Chitose also changes back into human form.
Yan Saburo seriously suspected that she had calculated the time and didn't want to help clean up. According to her, the asuras never do these chores.
This season, a plum tree planted in the small yard is already bearing fruit. Chitose picked a pot and washed it with his own hands, took a bite slowly, and almost spit it out: "Hey, it's so sour, no wonder no one came to steal it!"
Yan Saburo approached, took two and threw them into his mouth, chewing so much that his brows did not wrinkle. The fruit, which was several times more sour than this, he had fought with other beggars for it.
"How can you eat sour more than a woman?" Chitose buried him as usual, picked up another one to eat, and this time he slowly got used to it, and he felt sour. "Han Zhao didn't follow He Xiaokite to Shengyi, I think there is a dead end behind him. ”
"What do you say?" Yan Saburo fished another plum from her basin.
"King Wei suspended the national war, which is to free up his hands and go all out to clean up the domestic chaos, one is to quell the rebellion in the south, and the other is to stabilize the situation in Shengyi. Chitose said slowly, "If you don't do these two things, you will no longer have the strength to invade other countries." ”
"Now that the momentum of the Brown Army has been stopped by Han Zhao, this will remove the great trouble of King Wei's henchmen, and it has been ten days since the Shengyi Incident, after all, King Wei has great power, I can't see that for half a month, what should be caught, what should be killed, Shengyi will return to calm, so Han Zhao will lose the best opportunity. ”
Yan Saburo followed her train of thought and said: "As long as Shengyi is stable, and then wait for the Zhenbei Army to sweep away the chaos, the crisis of King Wei itself will have passed, and the Marquis of Zhenbei will have no place to play." At that time, King Wei will probably have to unload the mill and kill the donkey. ”
Chitose sneered: "Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, that's a good point! Is Han Zhao a donkey?"
Yan Saburo muttered, "The Marquis of Zhenbei must be aware, but if he is passive and suppressed, King Wei will also blame him for failing to quell the rebellion and order him to return to the capital to receive punishment." ”
"yes. Chitose slapped lightly, "It's also back to Shengyi, and he was disgraced at that time." It's better to kill it now in the name of righteousness, this is still famous. ”
"That's why He Xiaoyuan was so angry when he couldn't persuade him, right?"
"yes. Chitose suddenly reacted and glanced at him strangely, "Hey, why do you ask that?" This kid has finally begun to understand human feelings outside of the world?
"Nothing. Yan Saburo didn't say anything more, and seized the time to exercise and breathe.
¥¥¥¥¥
In the evening of the next day, He Xiaoyuan returned to the courtyard and brought the inside story that no one in Shengyi knew:
King Wei hasn't plucked the truth from Prime Minister Liao Cheng's mouth yet!
Led by the Liao family, the four major families of Shengyi plotted to rebel and failed, but there were very few people in the know, and the vast majority of them lost their heads in a daze, and they were crying out for injustice when they were dying.
They really don't understand, how can their own good people rebel?
Now the other three have confessed, and the initiator of the rebellion is Liao Qing, which is undoubted. "He Xiaoyuan first set up the enchantment before he dared to speak freely," Liao Qing instigated them to rebel on the grounds that the little prince was still in the world and the old king Wei was murdered to death. ”
"The Liao family has long been imprisoned, but Liao Qing has not revealed the hiding place of the 'little prince'. Speaking of this person, He Xiaoyuan also gave a thumbs up, "King Wei sent the Liao family to take turns to cry in front of him, and found his beloved little grandson, and ordered someone to chop it carefully in front of him, it is said that the child died after two days, and he couldn't cry before he died." In this way, Liao Qing did not give in. ”
Yan Saburo heard that it was wrong: "There are so many confusing supernatural powers in this world, and King Wei's subordinates are full of talents, why don't you use them to ask the truth about Prime Minister Liao?"
The world was so vast that he believed that there were many strangers who were proficient in the art of mind-stirring.
"You can think of it, King Wei naturally won't miss it. Otherwise, how can I say that Liao Qing is a man, more like a man than Han Zhao!" He Xiaoyuan snorted, "When he first received the news of the defeat of the forced palace, he bit off the root of his tongue without saying a word. King Wei ordered the imperial doctor to do everything he could, and it took more than 40 hours to rescue him. But he has been mute since then, and he is still dying, and he can't stand the heavy punishment. ”
