Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 280 Is It Bad News...

On such a day, no one wants to disturb the fun of other people's family outings, let alone be disturbed.

So after dinner, the two sides said goodbye tacitly, and went shopping separately.

In fact, Song Yun didn't go shopping for a long time, walked around in a hurry, watched juggling for a while, threw a few copper coins in, and Shen proposed to go home.

Song Yun didn't object either, she still knew what was more important, if she really wanted to go shopping, she could wait for her father to become an official, and when she returned to Beijing to report on his work every three years, she would come and go shopping again.

Song Yun rubbed his hands expectantly.

I got up early and went home in the evening. Everyone was so tired that they went to rest after dinner.

Until midnight, there was a curfew in all the squares and cities, and there was no one on the streets, only the watchmen in half-worn old clothes, carrying out their work day after day.

At this time, the closed heavy city gate of the capital was called open, and several horses quickly passed by the soldier who opened the gate, almost knocking him to the ground.

That's it, the cold wind brought by the fast movement also made him shiver, and he had nowhere to complain, so he went to the small room on duty to find a pot of low-quality dirty wine, took a few sips secretly, and felt a little warmer , before continuing to go out on duty.

Soon, on the empty long street, there was the sound of horseshoes coming from far and near.

First, some poor people who could not sleep well because of air leakage in their houses were awakened; then the old people of small families living in small brick and tile houses, who could not sleep because of shallow sleep, or because their bones hurt because of the cold, were also awakened. up.

In a daze, Song Yun thought it was thunder, and thought to himself that there was thunder in winter, how could this be a great ability to overcome the calamity?Is it worthless to go through the robbery in the densely populated capital?
Then, turning over, she fell asleep again.

Such and such people woke up because of the sound of horseshoes, and continued to sleep because of such and such self-comfort.

Therefore, except for some people who are still working at night, and the person who is going to send a letter to the night traveler, no one knows how many figures come from outside the city gate in such a late night when the family is still reuniting. , was engulfed in the palace under the shadow of towering buildings.

However, when the sun rises, there are always people who are well-informed and know something, and there are people who are closely related to it and have to know something.

For example, Xu Run, he didn't know about it until the 26th of the first lunar month.

Of course, in his capacity, even if his father was still struggling in the city that fell or not, no one would specially come to inform him of the result.

Except for the steward sent by the king of Jin to the capital, after dealing with all the problems brought about by this message, he suddenly remembered that Xu Run and the others had to be notified of some things.

But it is inconvenient for him to come to visit all the time, so as not to give the follower a deeper impression that "Song Nian and Wang Qi belong to the King of Jin".

So, he sent out a man who looked ordinary like ordinary people when he went out. The man was carrying a basket of meat and wearing coarse clothes, and knocked on the door of the house where Wang Qi and the others lived.

It was a very ordinary day, the hustle and bustle of the Chinese New Year faded away, Song Nian and Wang Qi had already left early, Mrs. Song was sitting in a warm room, chatting with a few old ladies from the neighbors, even stingy Jing Zhao old lady.

There is no way, as the spring is approaching, Mrs. Song is also a little nervous. At this time, bickering with annoying people will help ease the mood.

Except for the oil or salt, rice or noodles at home, which have to be "borrowed" from time to time, there are no other disadvantages.

Song Yun was lying on the table with her butt pouted, and was patiently painting the "Nine Nine Cold Dispelling Picture" with a pen. It was written by Song Nian. Literati like them like to play this kind of elegant and boring game.

When Song Yun first heard about this method, he found it extremely boring. Drawing a plum blossom every day, what is the difference between this and writing orthographic characters?Might as well paint "Secret Garden" instead.

However, as Song Nian became more and more busy and had no time for coloring games, Song Yun took over naturally. After a long time of painting, it was like clocking in. She still felt uncomfortable if she didn't do this one day.

On such an ordinary day, Xu Run was also living a boring but enjoyable life. Although his injury was almost healed, the servants sent by the palace did not leave, allowing him to continue to be a happy rice bug.

Then, he heard the news.

Is it bad news?

Strictly speaking, it is much better than he, and his mother, imagined:

He didn't die, he didn't do anything irreversible, and he didn't give the whole family a bad reputation that was difficult to recover from.

However, it is not good news.

After all, the fact that my father was injured in the civil strife and had to hastily hide in a temporarily safe place to recuperate his wounds is not something to be happy about anyway.

So, it's still bad news...

Xu Run couldn't stay here any longer. It was more important to go back to support his mother and younger siblings as soon as possible to feel the atmosphere of Chunwei or to cultivate his body.

When Song Nian and the others came back that night, they were called over by Xu Run, and the three of them talked in secret all night.

The next day, Xu Run followed the reliable caravan introduced by the steward of the palace and prepared to go home.

And Song Nian, under Wang Pu's veiled hints, and through Xu Run's supplement, got a glimpse of the whole picture of what Xu Zhiqing experienced in Yong'an City.

We have to start from the beginning on this matter.

Xu Zhiqing aspired to be a bobblehead that swayed from side to side, but when he arrived at his new position, he was told:
No, we need you to do something.

And if this matter is done, you will stab the Zhou family, that is, the family of King Jin's maternal ancestor, to death. King Jin will be implicated, but we will protect you.

If you can't do it, then you will be stabbed severely by us, the same kind of stabbing to death, and King Jin will still be implicated.

And this matter is nothing more than a conventional method to deal with military generals, such as the propaganda of "high meritorious deeds", such as forging evidence of collaborating with the enemy, or a combination of the two.

Xu Zhiqing was the chosen knife.

It can only be said that all the gifts of fate have been secretly priced.

Xu Zhiqing chose to rely on this force, and chose to accept the higher-level official position arranged for him by the other party, so he must face calculations.

What Xu Zhiqing chose to do was decided after he sent his wife and children back to Jinzhou Mansion and King Jin's territory.

The other party is not really unaware of this point, even if the couple's acting skills are quite superb, the reason for Wang Zhen's departure is also very legitimate, but this kind of thing that needs to be cautious, even a little change is worth careful consideration.

Fortunately, the other party didn't think Wang Zhen would change anything when she went back:
First, she is a housewife and has no way of knowing what her husband is doing outside, and it is impossible for Xu Zhiqing to tell her.

Second, when she went back and made King Jin aware of the problem, Yong'an City had almost done what was supposed to be done, so this was not a tip-off, but a blatant show-off.

Therefore, after someone monitored Wang Zhen's communication along the way and found that there was no problem, the other party let Wang Zhen and the others go back smoothly.

As for Xu Zhiqing, although he turned his back and tried to get some evidence to inform General Zhou, he was not completely trusted, and he didn't know that the person behind him had another plan.

But his efforts were not ineffective. After a small turmoil in the city, the situation was finally under the control of the Zhou family.

Xu Zhiqing, who was almost silenced, was able to recuperate in a relatively safe place.

Because the choice he made in the end put a stop to the possible serious consequences, General Zhou mentioned it in the booklet for the emperor and the secret letter to his family.

At any rate, it can be regarded as paying for the crime.

As for whether it is possible to return to the officialdom in the future, it depends on how much power the Second Prince will be pulled down, and how much King Jin can seize the opportunity.
