Assassin He Chunxia

Chapter 58
into the night.

In the small courtyard, there are three people and one dog.

This hospital is owned by Lu Su, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture. It has complete furniture and has been idle for many years. He raised a dog named Ah Hei to watch the hospital. He Xiaoyun and Zhang Zhou porridge have been temporarily accommodated in the past few days.

The rain had stopped, and it would take some hours for the Dawei Escort's convoy to arrive. Zhang Zhoucong clamored for a late-night snack, so the three of them went back to the courtyard to rest for a while, changed their clothes, and then went to Huibomen to guard the convoy.

"I made this with my own hands. The average person can't taste my craft. It's cheaper for you two." Zhu Jinchan proudly akimbo, "I still have steamed buns in the pot. Eat them quickly, don't rob them." After speaking, he turned around and went out. .

Zhang Zhou Porridge swallowed a few saliva, his stomach grumbled, "Brother, you eat." He Xiaoyun saw him bring the noodle bowl to him, but he didn't mean to push it over, and shook his head, "You are not hungry all the way, eat yours."

Zhang Zhou Porridge picked up a chopstick of noodles, happily put it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls, his face changed, and forcibly swallowed it, secretly turned his head away from He Xiaoyun, and pushed the bowl in front of him, "Brother, eat it, I really don't want to. hungry."

He Xiaoyun gave him a puzzled look, picked a few noodles to enter, his expression remained still, and then silently spit the noodles into the dog bowl under the table, and pushed the noodle bowl back as it was, "No, you're hungry."

Ah Hei happily ran over, licked a few mouthfuls of noodles, and then happily ran away.

"Brother, dogs don't eat."

"If you don't eat, you have to eat. It's not me who is clamoring for a late-night snack." He Xiaoyun glared at him, "Hurry up, I wish the girl a good mood and don't make her angry."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Jinchan trotted into the door, holding two steamed buns and couldn't stop blowing. When he saw the noodles placed in front of Zhang Zhou's porridge, he sat beside He Xiaoyun and threw him a steamed bun. The two of them sat together and ate the steamed bun. Very sweet.

Steamed buns, no matter how you steam them, will never become bitter.Zhang Zhou Porridge picked up a few noodles, slowly put them into his mouth, and forcibly swallowed them.

Zhu Jinchan saw that he was eating very slowly, and kicked him under the table, "It's delicious, you don't need to taste it carefully, eat it quickly, and wash the dishes yourself after eating."

Eating noodles with tears in their eyes, "It's so delicious."

The three rested for a while, guessing that the convoy was coming soon, and set off.

Tonight without a moon, Zhang Zhouporridge held a lantern with a shriveled stomach, and slowly followed behind his brother and sister Zhu. Zhu Jinchan walked on tiptoe, trying to make himself look taller to match He Xiaoyun.

Zhang Zhou porridge was walking, his eyes were a little wet.

He knows that Sister Zhu is Zhu Kongkong, so what does it matter.In this world, after all, I am not alone in moving forward.He has a senior sister, a senior brother, a master, a wife, a second young master Qi and Jiang Fan, and he has a family.

In fact, when he knew that his family was destroyed, he was really sad. He was the only one left in this world. He couldn't see the road ahead. He only knew that he could not die easily. Continue to live.

So he always said a lot of words to cover up his loneliness. In recent days, his words have become less and less, because he no longer needs to use nonsense to fill the emptiness in his heart.

If only you could keep going like this.

very nice.

In the next instant, Zhang Zhouporg closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were blood-colored. He stared blankly ahead, his eyes were empty, like a walking corpse.

"Even an ant-like person will try to save the destined future."

A sigh resounded in Zhang Zhoucong's mind, stalwart and profound.

Something in this dart.

Choice, choice is important.

What you see is what you see.

This huge emotion was suddenly withdrawn from Zhang Zhoucong's body, Zhang Zhouconge scratched his head, the blood in his eyes receded, and he shook his head.

This is all a mess.

The power of that bowl of noodles was so terrifying that I had hallucinations.
Scared.

He rubbed his stomach and trotted to the front of the two.

Drunken House.

The three, Xue Lian, Zhu Jiang, and He Zhuangzhuang.

Today is the first day of grading, and four days later, the list will be released to announce the results of the imperial examination.

The three gathered in advance to celebrate because Mr. Su sent a servant over today and gave He Zhuangzhuang a writing brush with a gold carp hanging from the end of the pen.

The title of the golden list, the carp leaps over the dragon gate.

This is express.

"Brother He, congratulations and congratulations." Zhu Jiang toasted three glasses, and his eyebrows were a little disappointed.

Xue Lian looked happy, hugged He Zhuangzhuang and casually said some proud poems to congratulate him, and invited him to drink.He Zhuangzhuang took a sip of wine and couldn't stop sighing. Seeing this, the other two asked inexplicably, "Why is Brother He worried about such a happy event?"

"Do you still remember the questions you answered during the palace exam?"

"Of course I remember." Zhu Jiang nodded, "It roughly means that my dynasty can have the prosperity it is today, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the grass-roots businessmen, prisoners, and ministers have contributed a lot, but like prostitutes, actors, cold records, etc., there is no such thing. The qualifications for the imperial examination, should these people also be allowed to take the imperial examination?"

"Mr. Su came up with such a question because he wanted to make the slogan he once shouted come true." He Zhuangzhuang snorted, "A world where everyone is equal? ​​It's extremely stupid, let these people take the imperial examinations, it's absolutely impossible!"

Xue Lian's face changed, his face flushed red, and he slapped the table angrily, "He Zhuangzhuang, what do you mean!" There is such an opportunity to enter an official position to realize the political ambitions of one's own parents and officials.

Zhu Jiang didn't understand, and said, "This is obviously a good thing, why not?"

He Zhuangzhuang shook his head, "East Palace, the power over the court and the opposition, the sage? The sage has ignored the government for many years, and the people only know that there are nine thousand-year-old giants in this world, the sage? The local sage can't control it, and the local officials are even more arrogant and domineering. In the extreme, the people of the Duchayuan dare to kill, the Dayu Dynasty said that it is the world of the saints, but it is better to say that it is the world of the East Palace."

"East Palace is so evil, but my economy and people's livelihood are prospering in the Yu Dynasty. Do you two know why?"

Zhu Jiang and Xue Lian both shook their heads.

"In my opinion, there are two reasons. First, the world is noisy, and there are still chivalrous people in them, who are inhumane and oppress the people. There will be chivalrous men who will use the sword to punish the villains, but this is a minority, not the key. "

"Second, it is the most important thing. When the Holy Master first ascended the throne, in order to revitalize people's livelihood, reduce taxes, and focus on agriculture and business, in just a few years, the results were immediate, and he no longer bothered about political affairs. The Donggong forces have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. , But after a few years, it has become a towering tree. Although the East Palace is a party to fight against differences and do many evils, there is one thing that the East Palace all obeys and maintains. "

"Business, you can't be an official."

"Businessmen do not have the qualifications to gain power. No matter how much wealth they hold, they are only ordinary people, and their status is lower than that of ordinary people. Therefore, officials and businessmen will not collude, but form unilateral oppression. It is naturally much easier for a wealthy merchant than a thousand peasant households, not to mention the first reason that officials do not dare and do not need to do anything to the common people.”

"My Dayu Dynasty was heavy on commerce, with low taxes, relying on merchants to drive the economy and the development of people's livelihood, so that the people could be rich. Merchants could not have real power, and could only be exploited and looted by officials, so that the people were spared." He Zhuang toasted, "The Bamboo Forest Party wants to delegate power to businessmen for a slogan? This is a bad move."

Xue Lian wished Jiang and the two of them only to watch him drink it up. Xue Lian gritted his teeth, "Do businessmen deserve to be oppressed and exploited!"

"What are you worried about, you are not doing well? When you become an official, everyone thinks that they can make some money, live better, and enjoy the wealth. But businessmen enjoy wealth and honor, and being an official, enjoyment becomes With pure power, the villain will gain ambition, and the desire will expand infinitely, which will inevitably oppress the people." He Zhuangzhuang drank again, "I don't actually disagree, I just think there will be a better solution."

"Then, Brother He, come quickly." Zhu Jiang said.

He Zhuangzhuang is already drunk.

"I haven't thought about it yet, so I drink."

He looked at Miyagi outside the window and remembered the golden pen, Mr. Su, you and I may not be fellow travelers.

Drink again.

Consort House.

Yan Zhi brought a food box to deliver supper to Mr. Fourteen. She originally made this chicken soup for Miss Mo, but Miss Mo went to bed early and didn't want to open the door, so she borrowed flowers and offered it to the Buddha.Yan Zhi thought of these four words, smiled secretly, and walked quickly to the hospital.

In the courtyard, the scolding from the study room was very loud. Yan Zhi's footsteps gradually slowed down to Mrs. Bai's voice, and she quietly touched it and listened carefully.

"I don't care whether Shanshan was beaten or scolded in the palace today, it's not good to be bullied or angry, sage, what a bullshit sage, bullying a weak woman is what a holy monarch!"

When Yan Zhi heard the scolding, she was shocked and anxious, how could she say such things nonsense, insulting the saint is a serious crime of beheading!

In the middle of the fourteenth month, a helpless voice came, "Yu Gufeng is not a holy monarch in the first place, and so is Miss Mo. If you want to sing, you can sing. If you don't want to sing, the sage will not give face, and being beaten is considered light. I guess That is, Miss Mo is stubborn and sulking, so take a few days off, you have to be angry with me."

"What bullshit are you putting on! You two are like raccoon dogs, neither of them is a good thing!" The heavy object slammed on the ground, "I'll bring my shirt and shirt tomorrow! Go back to Yangzhou! It's only been a few days since I came to the capital, and something happened to Miss Wang! Spring! Something happened to Xia! Something happened to the shirt! I can't stay any longer! It's all your fault, the concubine's house, what a shitty place! I'll pack up and go back to Yangzhou tomorrow!"

"Look at what you are anxious about, what angry words you say, it's easy to discuss, Juaner and Yan's sisters are still studying in the Guozijian, and they are still teaching in the spring and summer. You can't just leave."

"Read the same as you go back to Yangzhou! Who will discuss with you! I just tell you!"

After arguing a few more words, Song Bai slammed the door and came out. Seeing Yan Zhi, she didn't say hello, and went back to the courtyard angrily. Yan Zhi was about to enter the door, Ye Shu opened the door, smiled at her, and silently followed behind Mrs. .

Entering the door, in the middle of April, I was clearing up the inkstone, paper and pen on the ground, without raising my head, "Have you heard?"

"Yeah." Yan Zhi nodded, put the food box on the table, and squatted down to clean up with him, "Sir, do you really want to go back to Yangzhou?"

"You and your sister are just going to study at the Guozijian. It's fine. I'll go to the palace and explain that no one will dare to bully the two of you in the future. Oh no, Yu Gufeng is lustful, and I can't see you two, then. You two can go to Su Sanqing's place to be the one. Handmaiden, Lao Su and I have a good relationship and will not treat you badly."

"Sir." Yan Zhi suddenly interrupted.

"Ok?"

He mustered up his courage, "Don't you want to take me away, sir?"

In the middle of the fourteenth month, he turned his head to look at her, his eyes were red, and he sighed, "The Ye family is good, I know you can't bear it, don't you have to ask your sister what you mean? You two sisters have been in the capital for so many years, and they have such a good opportunity to study. , why do you go back with me. Xiaoye has been admitted to the hospital once or three times, and there is not enough space to live in, so you two can't really live in a servant's house."

"Understood, I'll ask my sister first, but if she agrees, I beg your husband to take care of my sisters and stay with me." Yan Zhi silently knelt down and bowed. Help her sit up.

The main house in the courtyard.

He Chunxia got up and closed the door, ready to rest, when he saw the light in the study was still on, "Your sister should be at Mr. Fourteen?"

Yan Die yawned a little, and tucked herself into the quilt, "What is she doing, she can't wait to stay there all day long, the noise in the study has just been so fierce, come here and tell me what happened to the shirts today. already."

He Chun Xia sighed, her hearing was sharp, and she could hear all the words of the teacher.

"Ah."

Fusion Gate.

All the bodyguard chariots were blocked in the open space in front of the city gate. He Xiaoyun carried a lantern and roughly counted forty or fifty chariots. Each cart was equipped with one to four horses. There were more than 200 bodyguards and handymen accompanying them. And there were no more than a dozen officers and soldiers at the gate of the city at his disposal. There was no moon tonight, and with only starlight and lanterns, it was not easy to just guard them. It was really difficult to inspect cars and people one by one.

In order to prevent riots, officers and soldiers were specially instructed not to disclose Wuma Kun's news.In the night, the voices of people and horses were noisy and disorderly. He Xiaoyun jumped into a dart car and shouted loudly, "Anyone else in charge, come out!"

A middle-aged man in luxurious dress walked out of the crowd, embroidered in brocade robes, from head to toe, decorated with many gold, silver and jade, glittering and reflective, and came forward to worship.

"These officials, our family is Wei Xuezhu from the Shifang Chamber of Commerce, and our family will follow us this time."

He Xiaoyun led him into the city gate first, and instructed him to go down in the doorway, "I'll ask the Shifang Chamber of Commerce to let the escort cars come in one by one. I wish you and me to check the car, Junior Brother, and you will search your body."

Wei Xuezhu rolled his eyes. He had already looked at everyone in the environment, and caught a glimpse of the dart cart that Wu Ma Kun had previously towed away in the doorway.The leading official was dressed in a unicorn suit, and the boy he called Junior Brother was Jin Yiwei, a five-tier thousand households, and a Beijing official, who was checking the escort car under this city gate?
wish girl?This woman's clothes and materials are very good, and the tone of voice and Qianhu are not husband and wife, not called Mrs. Zhu, not young but not married, so dare to go out at night, people in the rivers and lakes?
Wei Xuezhu smiled, stepped forward and bowed to He Xiaoyun, "This official, what kind of serious case are you investigating? I would like to inform you that people are tired in the middle of the night, so let's make it clear from the beginning, so that our family can fully cooperate. "

He Xiaoyun noticed that his eyes swept over Wu Ma Kun's car from time to time, the other party was from a chamber of commerce, and his mind was meticulous and shrewd. He was afraid that he might have guessed something. Search him, and let him into the city after the search is over."

"This official asked me to come, so I don't need my help? It's a mess. How long do we have to check it out? Let me talk to the brothers in the security bureau. Enter the city in an orderly manner, and it's easy to check." Wei Xuezhu smiled. Ying, He Xiaoyun frowned, if this person goes out of the city to report the news, his guards will hide the treasure, and it will be more difficult to search than to go to the sky.He personally mentioned him to the side, and went through the whole body carefully, and found a lot of delicate small objects, as well as a few thousand taels of silver notes.

Zhu Jinchan glanced at him, shook his head, and motioned for him to take something into the city. Wei Xuezhu smiled, took off a small gold pendant from an ornament and stuffed it into his mouth. The tip of the ear of several escorts moved, the tip of the tongue turned, and the low whistle spread out in the crowd.

The carriages and horses of hundreds of people suddenly quieted down together.

Wei Xuezhu vomited blood. He had been punched and kicked by He Xiaoyun, but he was still smiling.

"This official, isn't it about money? It's easy to negotiate. You can take all these banknotes. There are so many people in our security bureau, so don't get angry over trivial matters."

Several escorts slowly stepped forward, officers and soldiers wanted to stop, they were easily stunned and fell to the side.

He Xiaoyun drew his sword and walked out of the city, "I'm a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and the official of the imperial court, who dares to move!"

Without stopping, he spoke for the first escort, "Make it clear that killing you is a personal grudge and has nothing to do with the escort."

Wei Xuezhu got up from the ground, smiled, reached out his hand to stop the guards, "Master, you have business and capacity, you specifically blocked us in the middle of the night, isn't it just for money, why risk your life. There are some things. Let’s make it clear and clear, we are willing to give you as much money as you want, and ask the official to raise your hand and let us go into the city.”

He Xiaoyun refused to step back and couldn't stand still for a while. When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Zhouporridge and Zhu Jinchan who couldn't stop looking around. Don't hurt her and don't do anything. He grabbed Wei Xuezhu and slowly retreated back to the cave.

"Yesterday, the escort of your Dawei escort bureau bribed a small official in Chengguan for a hundred taels. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this escort."

"This trip is of great importance. I just want to be safe, but I also want to gain favor." Wei Xuezhu handed over the thousand tael silver notes, but He Xiaoyun refused to accept it. "What is the thing, explain it clearly."

Wei Xuezhu narrowed his eyes, glanced at Wu Ma Kun's carriage again, and smiled apologetically, "Master, you are in a high position, you may not understand the rules of the road, there is really nothing that shouldn't be there this time, it's just me ten The Fang Chamber of Commerce spends a lot of money, and gives more money to pass the road." After saying that, he pointed to the outside of the city, "If you don't believe me, you can check the dart cars one by one yourself, and it will never have anything that shouldn't be there."

He Xiaoyun pressed him to ask again, Wei Xuezhu was exquisite in all aspects, and his words were tight, and he insisted that it was a favor, and the bribery had nothing to do with darts.He Xiaoyun has no real evidence, it can only be regarded as unfounded suspicion, and it can't be said that Zhu Kongkong has overheard that there is a treasure hidden in it.

"Let them go through the border first. Wei Xuezhu has nothing to fear. He must have hidden his things, so he is not afraid of searching. They are so powerful, I won't steal them. You haven't slept since last night, so go to rest early."

He Xiaoyun had no choice but to nod and order to go on.

"Let go."

Wei Xuezhu had a happy expression on his face, and immediately called the escorts who came forward to enter the door to carry Wu Ma Kun's carriage into the city.

No moon tonight, cloudy and sunny.
