Since the early dynasty, Han Shizhong has been sitting in the study since he returned to the house, staring at the portrait of his deceased wife, and was silent for a long time.

Usually he rarely has such a situation, even in front of Luo Bei and others, he is full of laughter and laughter, and he is not a person who cares about his identity.

Zhao Ying followed behind him, saw him enter the study, and stood outside.

"Lord Han, what's wrong with him?" Luo Bei didn't know what was going on, so he asked.

Zhao Ying shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you know who did the Nancheng tragedy this time?"

Luo Bei shook his head and said, "Didn't you say that it was probably the army?"

Zhao Ying didn't deny it, but took a long breath and said, "It's not just the army, but also the title of the imperial seal back then, called the Chuzhou Army!"

"Back then, Uncle Han and his beloved wife Liang were stationed in Chuzhou, and the army of the enemy Jin State Tiger and Wolf was based on the army of the major general who lacked troops.

"Chuzhou Army, could it be Lord Han's subordinates back then?" but ......" Luo Bei stopped talking, and suddenly seemed to realize something.

Zhao Ying knew that Luobei also roughly understood why Han Shizhong was like this, and continued: "Later, the emperor issued a special decree that the garrison army of that year would forever enjoy the royal title of the Chuzhou army, which can be regarded as a tribute to Mrs. Han's women who did not let her eyebrows, and Mrs. Liang's early death, Uncle Han was depressed for a while, and it has only calmed down ......in recent years."

Luo Bei was a little puzzled, it was clear that Zhao Ying had only fled back to Lin'an from the north for a few months, how could he know so clearly about the affairs of the imperial court?

When Zhao Ying saw Luo Bei's expression, he immediately understood what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Most of these are the past events that I only heard them talk about after returning to Lin'an......

"Chuzhou is the place where Uncle Han and his wife fought side by side, so when he knew that it was the Chuzhou Army who did the heinous case, he must be the saddest ......"

Luo Bei took a breath, it turned out that the reason why Han Shizhong had been hiding in the study and refused to come out after he came back was like this, but the fact was that no one could change anything, maybe as a galloping general, he just heard the name of the Chuzhou Army again and recalled his memory, and this was probably the last time he heard the title of this army again, and it was inevitable that he would be sad.

"But ......"

After Zhao Ying explained things clearly, the doubts in her heart did not decrease at all.

Luo Bei raised his head and looked at him, and found that his eyes were full of worry.

"Are you still worried about anything?"

"There is one thing I haven't figured out, obviously everyone knows that the Chuzhou Army has a great relationship with Uncle Han, but no one questioned or anything else in the early dynasty, I saw that the emperor's eyes were deep, and he stayed on Uncle Han for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, whether it was reproach or comfort......"

"This can't help but make people wonder in their hearts, since everyone knows the relationship between the two, but they surprisingly kept silent, just the case of the Chuzhou army was closed immediately, except that the imperial court wants to give an explanation to the people of the world and are anxious to have a result, will it be deliberately hidden something, I don't understand......"

Zhao Ying has been thinking about these things since the early dynasty, and he doesn't even care if there is no mention of any of his exploits in the holy decree, except that he has long understood that most people in the court are supporting Zhao Xuan to become the prince behind his back, and it is very likely that even Qin Xiang is one of them, and he is more concerned about Han Shizhong's safety.

If it is because of the relationship between Han Shizhong and the Chuzhou Army, it is not impossible to implicate him in this matter to a greater or lesser extent

Affair.

"It's a pity that Yu Han has left in a hurry, otherwise he is so smart, he will definitely be able to help you figure out the key!" Luo Bei said.

"Forget it, things in the world are often like this, no matter how much effort you put into guessing, there are still things that you can't guess and can't figure out, especially in a place like the imperial court, everything will not stop at the surface, in this case, we can only stick to our hearts, even if we go against the wind, why not?"

"Speaking of Yu Han, I don't know what is going on in his family? With his temperament, everything is well planned, he shouldn't have left in such a hurry, it's just that we didn't have time to ask more that day......

The two of them stood outside the door of Han Shizhong's study for a long time, and there was neither laughter nor scolding, nor long sighs.

......

The sensational Nancheng tragedy was finally solved, although there are still many unsolved secrets, leaving a thin layer of haze in the hearts of many people, but this does not affect the ordinary people's praise for the court's swiftness and severe punishment of a group of wicked people.

Therefore, when the government posted notices to the world everywhere, hundreds of people gathered around and praised the current emperor Shengming, as well as Qin Xiang and others for their "best efforts".

Ye Zhiqiu hugged Xiaolai, stood outside the crowd, and also joined in the fun, it seemed that no one had gathered together like this in Lin'an City for many days, and even the Tianxiang Tower, which was brightly lit at night, was not as good as it.

He stood on tiptoe and looked inside, the notice was painted with portraits of several people, and then he made two strokes on his head with cinnabar, crossing each other, which meant that these people had been put on the death penalty list, and it would not be long before they should be pushed to the "vegetable market" to be beheaded for public display.

From time to time, there were loud cheers from the crowd.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled faintly, and then turned around and left with Xiaolai in his arms.

However, when he swept his eyes across the crowd, he found that several figures in the crowd flickered, and when he turned around, his eyes were constantly staring at him, and after he turned around, he immediately lowered the felt hat on his head, as if he was deliberately hiding the description.

He frowned slightly.

At this time, Xiao Lai said in his ear: "Old Ye, have those people been staring at us?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked at a few figures hidden in the crowd again, smiled helplessly, and said, "Leave them alone, we should find a place to eat, no matter what people encounter, they always have to fill their stomachs first!"

When Xiaolai heard this, he also came to his senses, and laughed happily, without being affected in any way.

"Then let's go eat the noodles from last time, you should still have enough money on you, right? This time you must be careful, if someone else steals it, we will be hungry again!"

She said a lot in a row, and her clear and straight voice made Ye Zhiqiu also sweep away the little worry in her heart.

pinched Xiao Lairou's little face, the arm holding her used force again, and the sword held in the other hand was also slightly raised.

Ye Zhiqiu swept the suspicious people in the crowd with cold eyes, twisted his eyebrows, and then walked out of the crowd and walked towards the noodle restaurant that Xiaolai said.

With his acuity, it was naturally impossible not to feel it, when he walked out of the crowd, a person wearing a felt hat and wearing black clothes also walked out front and back, although they were deliberately hiding their tracks, they were undoubtedly following Ye Zhiqiu's father and daughter.

"Lao Ye, have those people been following us all along?" asked Xiaolai.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled faintly, put his finger to his lips, and whispered, "We don't have to pay attention to it...... Didn't you say that it doesn't matter if the sky falls and you don't fill your stomach!"

Xiao Lai nodded in the same way, and his eyes completed the shape of the crescent moon.

......

In the twilight, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the tall city wall of Lin'an.

The walls here are so high that no matter how much you look up from below, you can't see a trace of the people inside or what is happening.

People know that inside this city wall lives the emperor and the "three thousand beauties of the harem", perhaps just like the cold moon palace, there are beautiful palace laves, priceless treasures and rare mountain and sea delicacies in the world, but the high wall will forever isolate the people inside from the world.

Naturally, the sunset didn't care where the palace was or where the poor people lived, casting a red halo on the city walls and the long street outside.

But there seemed to be a place where the sun was completely out of reach, and at this moment, there were three people standing at the end of that deep street.

A slender figure, bumpy and bumpy, apparently a woman.

The other two are men. One of them wore a wide black cloak, which made him look like a huge bat, with thick eyebrows, a face carved like a stone statue, and scattered hair, giving people the feeling of a fierce ghost crawling out of the abyss.

Beside him stood a shoulder that was both broad and thick, looking much stronger than ordinary people, and he was wearing a shabby leather garment, and although his trousers were cleaner than his blouse, they were a little shorter, and I don't know if it was because of his figure that he couldn't find suitable clothes or if he had worn it for too long, so long that it had grown beyond the time given.

The three of them stood there as if they didn't know each other at all, neither of them looked at anyone, and they didn't even bother with the others.

The sun was still setting, leaving only a trace of its afterglow above the high walls.

"Shek, Moko, the man has been in the alley for a long time, and when he comes out, we should do it!" said the woman, looking at an alley in the far end of the long street.

Mu Sha tapped the cloak like a bat's wings twice, his eyes were full of suspicion, and said, "Bai Shuang, is this arrangement too much, boss, let the three of us work together to deal with a down-and-out swordsman who holds a rusty sword all day long?

Bai Shuang frowned, snorted coldly, and said, "Mu Sha, are you questioning the boss?"

"Is it because he sits on the top spot of the Hundred Years Pavilion that no one can question it? He is not an immortal, what can he expect to be like a god!" Mu Xu looked at Bai Shuang with cold eyes, and because of her expression and tone at the moment, he became even more angry.

"You're not convinced?" the white frost's voice became cold and frightening.

"What if you don't accept it, do you think I'm afraid?"

"It's not enough to succeed, it's more than ...... to lose," Moko, who had been holding his arms on the side, suddenly interjected.

"What did you say?" said White Frost and Shepherd to Moko almost in unison.

"First of all, we are on a mission, you shouldn't be such a child, and you plan to try each other's skills when we meet, second, the boss has always arranged things without error, there is no doubt about this, third, ......"

He looked at the fading sunset, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of admiration and yearning, and said: "Mu Sha, you are indeed not the opponent of the boss......

......
