Jinghong Tower

The emperor remembered what Yuan Xiaodong had said to him before his arrival. Yes, he was in a difficult situation now. Why couldn't the emperor's grandmother be considerate of him and not cause more trouble for him?
"Xiaodong, I heard that there is King Xiao Zhao next to He Ran. Is his situation as difficult as mine?"

Yuan Xiaodong did not expect that the emperor would suddenly ask about this, and he hurriedly said: "King Xiao Zhao cannot be compared with His Majesty, let alone be compared."

The emperor nodded: "That's right, I am the emperor, he is just King Zhao."

He sighed: "His life should be more comfortable than mine. He Ran still needs to rely on him. He will definitely treat him well and treat him like a god. Unlike me, this is my land, but I It’s like being under someone else’s roof.”

In an alley in Huizhou City, a young man ran into a house deep in the alley: "Grandma, grandma!"

The old woman who was taking out dendrobium orchids to bask in the sun stopped when she heard this, frowned and looked at the young man who ran in: "You are so angry, what are you doing?"

The young man stopped quickly and saluted respectfully: "Grandma, something big has happened!"

"What's the matter?" The old woman brought the dendrobium into the house and placed it on the window sill. She also sat down on the chair by the window, leisurely picked up the tea and took a sip.

The young man followed and said, "The Jinghong Tower in Jinling was burned down. Everything was burned down!"

With a bang, the tea cup fell to the ground. The old woman trembled with trembling hands and asked in shock: "Tell me again, where did it burn?"

"It was the Jinghong Tower in Jinling that was burned down. The Empress Dowager ordered it to be burned," the young man said.

The old woman's hands shook even more violently, and she gritted her teeth: "Min Lan, this vicious woman!"

Only then did the young man see that the old woman's hands were shaking. He was startled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'll call my mother over."

Not far from here, there is also a Jinghong Tower, Huizhou Jinghong Tower.

The big shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower is named Bai Die, and this young man is Bai Zhiyuan, Bai Die's son.

Bai Zhiyuan ran into Jinghong Tower in one breath and shouted to the first waiter he saw: "Where's my mother? Go and call my mother, my grandmother is sick!"

After a while, Baidie and her son returned to the yard where the old woman lived.

The old woman has regained her composure, but the hatred in her eyes has not faded.

"Mom, I've also heard about this. He Wentao and his men were unharmed, and some of their property was damaged, but they brought out all the banknotes and account books. It's a blessing in misfortune." Bai Die said.

The old woman closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks: "Jinghong Tower in Jinling was designed and built under the supervision of the Grand Master herself. She said she wanted to build a building worthy of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Thousands of years later, , it can also be viewed by future generations and recorded in the annals of history, allowing students to come here to observe and study."

As she talked, the old woman burst into tears.

She felt sorry for the boss, she didn't keep Jinghong Tower.

"It's Xiugu who is useless. Xiugu has always been useless."

Suddenly, the crying stopped, and Xiugu looked at Baidie: "Arrange a few people, I want Min Lan to die!"

Baidie's heart sank, but she didn't object: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

When he walked outside, he saw his son sitting on the steps dejectedly. When he saw her coming out, he gave her a smile that was uglier than crying: "Auntie, have I made grandma angry?" Bai Die sighed: " Go in and talk to your grandmother, tell her some fun stories, and make her happy."

The adoptive mother is serious and has a weird temper. The older she gets, the more she becomes like this. Even in her yard, maids are not allowed to serve her, which means that Bai Zhiyuan can still talk to her.

Bai Die went to arrange the assassination, and Bai Zhiyuan shamelessly sat opposite Xiugu: "Grandma, please stop crying. Your eyes will be swollen from crying, which will make you look bad."

Xiugu ignored him, the hatred in her eyes was still strong.

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly remembered something: "Grandma, I heard that He Ran went to Jinyang, and Grandma Li in the capital, she"

"What about Grandma Li? When did she become your grandmother? Li Jinxiu is Li Jinxiu!" Xiugu shouted.

"Yes, yes, Li Jinxiu, I heard that all Li Jinxiu's sons and grandsons rebelled." Bai Zhiyuan said.

Xiu Gu was startled: "Rebellion? Li Jinxiu agreed to their rebellion?"

No, although Li Jinxiu is not a thing, when it comes to loyalty to the court, they can't compare to her.

"Yes, they all rebelled. Lu Pingnan and Lu Pingye left the capital without any intention and led troops to fight. Her grandson, Lu Zhen, the prince of Wu'an Hou, is now a junior general under He Ran." Bai Zhiyuan's eyes widened. Who wouldn't want to risk glory, fight, and become a general?

"He Ran, you mean, Li Jinxiu's grandson took refuge in He Ran?" Xiugu asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that's the He Ran, the boss of He Da family that my mother told you about a while ago."

Bai Zhiyuan regretted it as soon as the words came out of his mouth.

The last time, when his mother mentioned He Ran, she said "He is the master of the family", and her grandmother became furious. From then on, none of them dared to mention this person in front of their grandmother.

Bai Zhiyuan did not dare to look at Xiu Gu's face, but heard Xiu Gu say: "Li Jinxiu agrees that her grandson will follow He Ran? This is impossible!"

Li Jinxiu's grandson Lu Zhen was the prince of Wu'an.

Lu Zhen does not represent himself, but the entire Wu'an Hou Mansion. Lu Zhen's attitude is the attitude of the Wu'an Hou Mansion and Li Jinxiu's attitude.

"How is it impossible? He Ran is the head of Jinghong Tower. Grandma Li, no, Li Jinxiu, she is so loyal to the head of He. Now that He Ran has rebelled, of course she will support him." Bai Zhiyuan said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That He Ran is a liar! She said she was the heir of the great master, is she? The great master said that she had raised a child for someone else once, and she would not raise a child for a second time. What about accepting a disciple? Yes, it’s nothing.” Xiugu said.

"Don't Li Jinxiu know that Master He doesn't want to accept a disciple?" Bai Zhiyuan finally understood why his grandmother got angry when he heard He Ran's name. That's why.

"She knows shit! This was one time when a few of us were drinking with the master. The master said that he wanted to play some truth. When it was the master's turn, Xianxian asked the master if he would accept an apprentice. The master said that it would be necessary to accept an apprentice. As soon as possible, then he said those words.

The ones present at that time were me, Ru Lan, Piao Piao and Xian Xian. Li Jinxiu and the others were not there. Ru Lan and three of them were dead. I was the only one who was still alive. I was the only one who knew about this matter. "Xiugu said.

"Then you write a letter and tell Li Jinxiu about this. I will send someone to the capital so that they know that He Ran is a liar and don't let them continue to be deceived." Bai Zhiyuan said.
