Chapter III: Conspiracy
The nine words on the third page Su Bai knew that he needed to understand something, but he racked his brains and didn't know what this thing to understand was. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is said that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, Su Bai felt the Tao, at the time of the bottleneck, he gave up the closed-door car, left Sufu, went to walk on the street, went to the mountains and wilderness, he saw the mountains and flowing water, saw the green leaves and red flowers, saw all kinds of landforms in Tongtianfu, saw the galloping sea, saw the market complicated, everything echoed in his mind, just one foot away from the door to understand.
"What's missing?" In the teahouse, Su Bai sat at the window on the second floor, watching the people on the street, all kinds of busy work, and suddenly a figure fell into his eyes: "Sun Dongheng?"
Su Bai saw that he was the most familiar person, and Sun Dongheng, who had the most friction with him since he was a child, and who had always been at odds, was the son of the prefect of Tongtianfu, two years older than Su Bai, arrogant and domineering, bullying men and women can be described as doing all kinds of evil, he is a tyrant of Tongtianfu, just because his father is the prefect of the prefect, so no one dares to do anything to him, and he has done some out-of-the-ordinary things several times, and he has also let the prefect Sun Sijin block it, so ordinary people avoid him early when they see him, for fear of causing trouble and getting into trouble.
"It's been rare to see him recently, he has rarely appeared since the last time he fought Fuxi, and he has rarely seen him recently, why did he come back from?" Su Bai's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Sun Dongheng was followed by a carriage, and there was a man on horseback around the carriage, and those men on horseback were dressed in strange clothes, not like the Central Plains.
Su Bai understood the regional customs, and he could see that those people were from Yunzhou in the East China Sea.
When it is five points today, Qianzhou in the Central Plains is where the Tianyuan Holy Dynasty is located, and it is on the list. The East China Sea Cloud Continent Cloud Country, the West Desert Desert Continent Chiyan Country, the Arctic Snow Continent Snow Country, and the Southern Xinjiang Witch Tribe.
The Kingdom of Clouds, the Land of Red Flames, the Land of Snow and the Witch Department of Southern Xinjiang are foreign states, protected by the Tianyuan Holy Dynasty, and every three years there will be envoys to Kyoto to meet the emperor and pay tribute.
The last time a foreign tributary was made two years ago, and now that it is not yet the time to pay tribute, the people of the Cloud Nation are obviously out of place, or something is out of the ordinary.
Although people from foreign vassal states could visit the Tian Yuan Holy Dynasty for sightseeing, it didn't seem like they were here for sightseeing, especially the men on horseback who were surrounded by the carriage, their sharp eyes were always looking around, obviously specially trained guards, always protecting the safety of the lord.
"These people ......" Su Bai's eyebrows furrowed, and he was very puzzled: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and foreign vassal countries are respectful and even in awe of my Tianyuan Holy Dynasty on the surface, but in fact, they are eyeing me fiercely, and they can't wait to annex my Tianyuan Holy Dynasty." Sun Sijin is an unkind official, a corrupt official, not a good official, these people are colluding with the Sun family, what are they trying to do. ”
Thinking of this, Su Bai had no thoughts about Daodian, and went down to the restaurant to follow.
followed Sun Dongheng and others all the way, they did not go to the mansion, but went directly to the Sun mansion.
The carriage stopped, and Sun Dongheng stood beside the carriage respectfully and with a peach blossom on his face.
The curtain was lifted, and Su Bai was far away until a white hand stretched out, and then a woman with a silk veil on her face stepped down from the carriage, Sun Dongheng smiled flatteringly, and led the woman into Sun's mansion.
Seeing that the woman entered the Sun Mansion, Su Bai quietly came to the side of the Sun Mansion, and seeing that there was no one around, he jumped onto the wall, Sun Dongheng and the others walked through the front hall and went to the main hall of the back hall.
Su Bai jumped off the high wall, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly returned to Su Mansion, pulling Fuxi, who was chopping wood, and left.
"Young master, where are you going, I haven't finished my work yet. Behind him, Fuxi kept shouting.
"Come with me, there's something urgent. Su Bai didn't care whether Fuxi wanted to or not, and dragged him straight to Sun's mansion.
Fuxi looked at this and Sun Mansion, and looked suspicious: "What are you pulling me here for?"
"Do you remember the secret passage where we used to go to Sun's Mansion in the past?" asked Su Bai.
"You know, isn't it just a dog hole, and it's a secret passage. Fuxi smiled, with a sincere face.
"How ugly the dog hole is, how many times have I told you that I have to learn to speak better, if you want to do this again, you won't even be able to find your daughter-in-law in the future." Su Bai slapped Fuxi on the head to teach him a lesson, and then squatted down and rummaged through a bush in the corner of the wall, and suddenly his face was happy: "Found it!"
The two of them entered the Sun Mansion one after the other, walked cautiously through the backyard, and stopped behind the back hall: "You keep a sentry for me here, once someone comes, you will learn to meow, understand." ”
"Ah, young master, what are you doing here? It's broad daylight, it's not good!" Fuxi was a little timid, he didn't know what Su Bai was going to do, his expression was a little nervous, and he looked around.
"Don't ask so much, it's something important, show me!" Su Bai said, turning around and approaching the window, he tried one by one, and finally found one without a pin, he opened it carefully, and saw that there was no one inside, so he quietly climbed in.
"Childe, be careful...... Fuxi whispered behind him, his face full of anxiety.
Su Bai entered the side room, cautiously approaching the partition wall of the main hall in the middle, and he had already faintly heard the sound coming from the main hall as he walked. He cautiously crouched under the door, listening closely.
"Governor Sun, you have made a lot of money in this Tongtianfu over the years, right?" This is a female voice, her voice is delicate and soft, but her age is not very old.
"The lower officials are just not worried about food and clothing, how can they compare to the ninth princess is the blood of the royal family, noble and difficult to climb. Sun Sijin echoed his words, and there was something in his words.
"It's just an identity, if Lord Sun is willing, why is it difficult to be a relative of the emperor in the future?" said the woman called the Ninth Princess lightly.
The emperor's relatives are relatives with the royal family, which is such an easy thing, not only the heirs of the family must be outstanding and loved by the emperor, but also their own status is at least in the phase, among the public candidates, otherwise where is the princess with the body of ten thousand gold, and this Sun Sijin has no daughter, so he can only rely on his son to climb to the country.
But Sun Dongheng is indeed not very outstanding, he is still a bully, and he is just a local official, just a fourth-grade person, where is enough to qualify, and he can't climb high.
But it was so easy to say in the words of the ninth princess, which made Sun Sijin very puzzled: "The lower official is stupid, and I ask the princess to make it clear." ”
"Hmph!" The Ninth Princess sneered: "Lord Sun doesn't have to hide it, there is nothing to hide in the eyes of each other about your identities, and the heads of other officials have already been cut off ten times in exchange for what Lord Sun did, but Lord Sun can stay in this position for a long time, isn't it the strategy of Gonggong Hai?"
"That's that!" Sun Sijin hurriedly smiled: "If it weren't for the vigorous promotion of Gonggong Hai, the lower officials would have been in danger of being protected, and there would be no honor to meet the Ninth Princess today." ”
"Okay, you don't have to continue to climb me, this time I came to the meaning of Gonggong Hai, and after you read this letter, you will understand the meaning of Gonggong Hai. With that, the Ninth Princess handed a letter to Sun Sijin.
Sun Sijin took it with a smile, and when he saw the contents of the letter, his face changed suddenly: "What! Gonggong Hai wants to abolish the old emperor and establish a new dynasty on his own!"
"What are you doing so loudly, this is something that has been planned for a long time, just wait for the time to come, when the time comes, the country of clouds, the country of red flame and the country of snow will be attacked from three sides, and the sea will be a kilometer away, and the day will be annexed in one fell swoop, and then it will be ......" The nine princesses conspired and smiled: "Lord Sun, you are a hero, this Tongtianfu is the throat of the Tianyuan Holy Dynasty, and with Lord Sun, you can take it without much effort." ”
"This ...... Let me think about it!" Sun Sijin's expression changed, and the sudden huge change made him unable to adapt, and he hadn't fully accepted it, but after thinking about it, he couldn't tolerate any objections: "Okay, since this is related to Gonggong Hai, and Gonggong Hai is my reborn parents, even if it is a matter of losing his head, Sun Mou will not give up, and only listen to the orders of the ninth princess." ”
"Very good, Master Sun knows how to advance and retreat, and soaring is just around the corner. The ninth princess looked at Sun Sijin's nervous expression, and immediately smiled: "Lord Sun, don't worry, there is still some time, not now, don't panic." ”
"Yes Yes ......"
"Who!" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the house.
