Yu Wan Chun Nong

Chapter 42
After Hualuo said that, Cheng Yiwan was also shocked, no wonder she knew so much, she also came from a famous family, and she always heard her say that her father was jailed for a crime.

She also heard about Hubu Shangshu. He was a person who strongly opposed Pei Shangyu's superior prime minister back then, and even had a deadly remonstrance.

At that time, the Southern Dynasty was basically under the control of Pei Shangyu. Although he was not named as a prime minister, he was similar to a prime minister, and half of the six ministers belonged to him.

In order to eradicate those who refused to obey orders or resisted him, Pei Shangyu's methods were also very tough.

Those who are obedient and willing to be used by him can keep the black hat on their heads.

Those who are disobedient will be demoted and exiled at the slightest, and will be charged with unwarranted crimes at worst. It is common to ransack their homes and ask them to be executed.

People in the capital didn't dare to mention that time when they recalled that time. In those few years, the blood in Meridian Gate never stopped, and it flowed all over the place, as if it couldn't be drained cleanly.

Looking at Cheng Yiwan's expression, Hualuo knew that she had heard about the events back then, she smiled bitterly and said: "My father was one of those people who refused to submit to Pei Shangyu, so he was forced into prison by him in the name of treason. "

"My original name was not actually Hualuo, but Cen Shuyu. After my father was convicted and imprisoned, the male members of the Cen family were exiled, and the female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Division."

Although Jiaofangsi originally belonged to the Ministry of Rites, the first of the six departments, it was specialized in playing music at ceremonies or when welcoming distinguished guests.But after careful calculation, it should be an official brothel.

Some of the women here voluntarily entered, and some of them were noble women like Hua Luo, who were implicated because of crimes committed by their father or family.

Here, apart from practicing etiquette and music, if they are favored by any nobleman, they will greet them like girls in a brothel, and they will not take a penny.

Those who are good at seduction can rely on these nobles to soar into the sky, but those noble girls who came in because of sins can't let go of the arrogance in their bones and refuse to compromise.

And when they are here, unless there is a noble person to guarantee them and take them out, otherwise, the Jiaofang Secretary will never let them go, even if they have money, they can't buy them free.

On the contrary, you have to live your life as a sin slave. Some people can't stand it and choose to die, and some are slowly assimilated and then compromise.

And Hualuo has seen too many lives and deaths here, in order to protect herself wisely, she never showed any talent in front of others, hiding her clumsiness and avoiding the edge, and just passed a few years in peace.

Until one day, she was spotted by a drunken prince and dragged to one place forcibly. At the critical moment, she killed him. Murdering a prince is a serious crime, and she was so flustered that she didn't know what to do.

Cheng Yiwan reached out to hold Hualuo's hand. It turned out that she had lived such an extremely dangerous life. That's right, there were many schemes in the palace and people were unpredictable, and she might die at any time.

"It's okay. Speaking of which, it was the first time I killed someone. I was a little scared at first, but I used the prince's body to frame another person who was targeting me everywhere in the Jiaofang Division."

"Later I realized that if I was just hiding my clumsiness, I would be discovered one day. Fortunately, I no longer hid myself. I began to curry favor with the female officials around the Empress Dowager, hoping to find a way out for myself."

Hualuo, who gradually showed her strength, was finally appreciated and reused by Lan Xueyi, and finally promoted to her Compassionate Palace by special permission. Later, because of participating in a battle in the palace, she was almost burned to death, and then she changed her face to replace a The dead aunt enters the palace.

She had a hard life in the first half of her life, she was always on the move, and she still worried about whether her identity would be exposed.

Fortunately, she was cautious and never dared to take a wrong step. That's why she lived as someone else until now.

"your face"

Cheng Yiwan looked at her smooth and even face, and asked aloud, Hua Luo replied with a smile: "It was burned in the fire, and later I spent a lot of money begging the doctor to repair it."

And that was undoubtedly another torture for her. If she wanted to reconstruct her face, she needed to dig out the scars on her face, and then fill those potholes with special materials.

The contact between these special materials and the skin is the most painful, but for revenge, she endured it all, in order to return all the pain to Pei Shangyu one day.

"So Yiwan, I will help you, we have a common goal."

When Hualuo talked about these things, she no longer had the anger and powerlessness she had at first. She said it calmly, not because she had let go of everything, but because she couldn't let go, so she had to remind herself not to Too much exposure in front of people.

"Okay, we will definitely succeed."

They have a common goal and must be able to take revenge.

Hualuo told Cheng Yiwan all about herself without reservation just to tell her that she is definitely her most loyal ally.

It is not so easy to bring down Pei Shangyu, but now with Xu Liuchuan's help, they can be regarded as having an extra helper.

On the fifth day after Pei Shangyu left, Xu Liuchuan sent someone to send a letter to Cheng Yiwan. The letter stated that Pei Shangyu went to Liaozhou this time to deter threats, and to find out who embezzled the relief money. official.

Now that Liaozhou is in dire straits, not only the officials dare not do anything out of line, but some common people also dare not, and even seeing Pei Shangyu, they wish to run away.

Apart from Pei Shangyu's reputation as an evil spirit in the Southern Dynasties, the most important thing is that all the people who mentioned the disaster relief money to Pei Shangyu will all die the next day.

This time, those old ministers who were on the opposite side of Pei Shangyu clearly set up a trap for him to jump into, but he still had to jump into it.

He has always been the kind of person who does not want to die, he will not catch a tiger if he does not enter the tiger's den, but he wants to see the background behind them.

Cheng Yi was far away in the capital, looking at the letter and fell into deep thought. Pei Shangyu wanted to risk himself, and the method was a bit dangerous, but once he caught his tail personally, what he was waiting for was a fate that would never be restored. .

At the end of the letter, Xu Liuchuan asked her if she wanted to cooperate with those old ministers. She could think about it. After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, but Xu Liuchuan was worried that they would turn against him.

So he asked Cheng Yiwan to think about it, if he planned to leave the three of them alone, then he would never mention this again in the future.

Cheng Yiwan burned the letter. Regarding the matter of dealing with Pei Shangyu, the fewer people the better, the bigger the momentum, the easier it is for him to find out.

"Yiwan, Prince Jing's Mansion is going to hold a flower viewing feast for Xiao Yunjiao, and I have sent you an invitation as well."

Hua Luo's words made Cheng Yiwan a little confused. Didn't Xiao Yunjiao go to a temple to practice?Downhill so soon?

"Xiao Yunjiao wished that I would disappear from Pei Shangyu's side. She would not invite me to some kind of banquet with good intentions. Most likely it was fraudulent."

Cheng Yiwan took the invitation in Hualuo's hand, and smiled: "Tell me, if I was insulted at the banquet but showed my loyalty to Pei Shangyu, would his suspicion be reduced a little?"
