From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Following the address on the letter, Zhou Yuan hurried to an underground gambling house.

After passing the complicated entrance, he finally saw Cai Ni under the candlelight. She was pale and tired at the moment, staring at the candlelight in a daze.

"Cai Ni!"

Zhou Yuan shouted and hurried over.

Cai Ni looked up, her face full of surprise, and said excitedly: "Sir! You are here!"

Zhou Yuan quickly closed the door, grabbed her hand, and said in a low voice: "You are crazy, why haven't you left the city yet? There are Jinyiwei everywhere in Yunzhou now, it is very dangerous for you to stay."

Hearing this, Cai Ni's emotions suddenly couldn't be held back, and tears suddenly came out.

"Sir! We've been betrayed!"

She threw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms and cried bitterly: "I was hiding here, gathering information for the Holy Church, but the Holy Church didn't reveal any of its plans to us."

"So when the chaos happened, we didn't know what to do, and we could only evacuate as quickly as possible."

"The Hundred Flowers Pavilion has been in business for so many years, and with the help of the young master, it has regained its vitality, but it was destroyed like this."

Damn, I really don't want to know about those shitty things in your church.

Zhou Yuan said quickly: "Don't talk about that, as long as you are okay."

Cai Ni's eyes were filled with tears, her pretty face came close to Zhou Yuan, and she said in a trembling voice: "This time, the Holy Church completely abandoned the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, forcing us to self-destruct... They never considered me!"

"Only Master, only Master is worried about my safety."

Her voice was full of despair, and she murmured: "Master, Cai Ni doesn't want to leave you."

Please, you are a traitor now, it's useless if you don't leave me, you will only take me in.

Zhou Yuan had a headache, hugged her slender waist, and whispered: "At this point, you can only evacuate, otherwise you will be caught."

"If you are caught, I will take the sword to break the prison and die with you."

"No!"

Cai Ni quickly covered Zhou Yuan's mouth, tears streaming down her face, but she was very moved: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, Cai Ni doesn't want you to be hurt even if she falls into the underworld."

"It's just a farewell, and I don't know when I can see you again. "Zhou Yuan kissed her face gently and said, "Let me give you a poem, Cai Ni." Cai Ni blushed slightly and said shyly, "Is it written for me?" Zhou Yuan said, "The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, and the Milky Way is far away and dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world." "Tenderness is like water, and the good time is like a dream. I can't help but look back at the magpie bridge. If the love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night?" The calm words tell the most infatuated words. It is a clear sky outside and a dark house here. The candlelight flickered, Cai Ni's eyes were filled with tears, and she was stunned for a while. Her lips trembled, and she hugged Zhou Yuan's neck with both hands and sat on his lap. She murmured, "If love lasts forever, why should we be together day and night? Sir, Cai Ni has never heard such a beautiful sentence."

Zhou Yuan sighed and said, "Let's go. Come back to me when the storm is over."

Cai Ni burst into tears and kissed Zhou Yuan's face.

Her lips were so soft, so fragrant, so moist and hot, full of a woman's tenderness and the most beautiful tenderness of a girl.

A painful kiss made Cai Ni cry even more.

She looked at Zhou Yuan infatuatedly and said in a trembling voice: "With this poem, Cai Ni is not afraid of anything."

"I just hope that you will not forget Cai Ni!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Silly girl, you are so cute, how can I forget you."

He pinched Cai Ni's face and whispered: "Go out of the limelight. Our fate is not over yet, and we will definitely have a chance to meet."

Cai Ni nodded heavily and said: "Sir, you must take good care of yourself, Cai Ni will come back."

She kissed Zhou Yuan's lips, turned around suddenly, shed two drops of hot tears, and floated away.

The candlelight flickered, and the wind from nowhere blew it out.

Zhou Yuan was silent for a long time and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Alas, you are a beautiful woman, but you are a thief!

It makes it difficult for me to deal with this relationship.

If it comes to cutting off, Zhou Yuan may not be hard-hearted, but he doesn't want to leave regrets for himself after coming to this world.

I must not cut it off. Cai Ni's identity is indeed too sensitive. This fire will burn me one day!

Zhou Yuan felt mixed emotions. He licked his lips. The fragrance was still there, but the beauty had gone to who knows where.

…

Yunzhou entered a tense reconstruction. My father-in-law mobilized a large number of people to repair houses and streets and sort out lost property. It took five or six days, but he still couldn't find the missing person.These were clarified.

However, the Zhao Mansion was soon repaired, and the losses were not counted, but it was too late to care about so much.

In terms of losses, Zhou Yuan lost nearly 80,000 taels of silver, which was a large amount.

Of course, Qu Ling directly said that she paid the 80,000 taels of silver, on the one hand to repay the life-saving grace, and on the other hand, the silver was also lost in Mo Yunzhai.

Zhou Yuan didn't mind this at all.

Because "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" did make a lot of money for Mo Yunzhai, and the long-term benefits were immeasurable, it would not be too much to take more money.

However, Zhou Yuan didn't take it for nothing. He thought that he would write a book for Mo Yunzhai later, and this money would be regarded as an advance payment for the manuscript.

The trip to Lin'an Prefecture was imminent, and the long-awaited news finally arrived.

After Yunzhou reported to the governor, the cabinet reviewed it, and the sage made a judgment.

Yunzhou Wusheng Sect was in chaos, and the prefect Liu Liang was responsible and could not be shirked. He was demoted to the county magistrate of Ming County, Zhangzhou.

Cai Quan, the garrison commander of Yunzhou, was dismissed from his post and immediately escorted to Jinling Prefecture to cooperate with the investigation. This was mainly to find out the truth about the theft of the armor. After all, such a thing could not be done without an insider.

None of the officials of the city defense camp escaped, and all were escorted to Jinling. Smiling Buddha Xiong Kuohai had a lot to do this time.

However, this was also his opportunity. If he could find out the case, he would have a chance to be promoted.

Zhao Cheng, the magistrate of Yunzhou, performed his duties conscientiously, organized the constables and the people to suppress the mob, and should be the first meritorious service, and was promoted to the prefect of Yunzhou.

"The imperial edict is just some polite words, the secret letter is the real content."

Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "This time, His Majesty also mentioned you specifically, saying that you are brave and resourceful, and dare to take on great righteousness, and you are a talented person!"

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "This empress is still a little stingy. She only knows how to praise people, but doesn't know how to give some practical benefits."

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng couldn't help laughing and said, "You have no official position, no merit, and no reputation. How can I reward you? I think the position of Jinyiwei may not be given by the holy monarch. "Zhou Yuan frowned:" Shouldn't Xiong Kuang Hai mention the incident, the riots have not yet happened. "Zhao Cheng said:" It is reasonable to say that Jin Yiwei will not actively invite people to join, not to mention it, it is rare in this situation. " Jin Yiwei is a hundred households. This kind of fat is very popular. If Xiong Kuanghai is a flower snack, it can sell at least 50 or 60,000. Why should it be given you? " Laughing: "It's nothing more than letting me host the reconstruction of Yunzhou. When a few months of recovery, the imperial decree should arrive." "Huh? Father -in -law can judge?" , it has been the rule of our Great Jin for hundreds of years. After all, the prime minister must start from the state. I am the Tongpan of Yunzhou, and my achievements are remarkable. The prefect is just a transition. "

"When the reconstruction of Yunzhou is completed, you can use this as an excuse to report to the emperor. It is likely to be the prefect of Jinling, or the prefect of Shenjing. It all depends on the emperor's heart. "

Speaking of this, he smiled slowly and said: "I can't help the Jinyiwei system. Everything depends on you!"

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, this is not difficult for me."
