The Inverted Dragon is Scale

Since Lu's rebellion failed, Tiandu city has entered the era of bloody cleansing.

The wind of the Millennium imperial city is ringing. Every day, those names that used to be high or familiar are pushed to the Meridian Gate to behead. Copy the family and destroy the family, and the children and family members are reduced to base nationality. Others were sent to remote and wild places. They were even more miserable. They were in chains. A long team walked through Chang'an Street. I'm afraid many people would die on the road. It would be difficult to return to heaven in this life.

Originally, these things should have nothing to do with ordinary people, but I don't know what's going on. Tiandu people still feel dark clouds over their heads. Everyone has a feeling of mental tension. Even their voice and hearty laughter are deliberately lowered, as if they are worried about who will be disturbed.

It's like a boiling oil pot, like a rainstorm in summer.

Everyone has a feeling of shortness of breath.

These two days, Tiandu city suddenly became lively again.

The cause of the matter is that song dawn of the Song family injured Yan Xiangma of the Yan family. The Yan family not only didn't go to the Song family for theory, but expelled Yan Xiangma from their home. Yan Xiangma ran away from home in a rage and disappeared.

While everyone was talking about the power of the Song family and the weakness and incompetence of the Yan family, song dawn suddenly knelt down at the door of the Yan family, pleaded guilty and asked the Yan family to find Yan Xiangma back. If Yan Xiangma doesn't return for a day, he won't get up for a day.

Yan Donglou, the owner of the Yan family, went out to invite him personally, and said that there was no news of Yan Xiangma. They were also trying to find him------

The Yan Family and the Song family come and go. It's very noisy. Tiandu people are also happy to see the excitement. For more than a year, Tiandu city has been dead. Nothing so interesting has happened for a long time.

Zhu Yuren is also one of the onlookers.

Zhu Yuren is the speech officer of the Xifeng empire. He has the responsibility of supervising all officials and advising on the wind. Yanguan is a special group. Their power is big and small. The key depends on whether the emperor's mind can tolerate the world and has the measure of accepting policy.

Some say that officials are clank and fearless of death, that is, they openly advise and correct the mistakes of the monarch, and even the emperor is afraid and can't avoid them.

Zhu Yuren is one of the strong speech officials, at least he thinks so.

Zhu Yuren had long known the "contradiction" between the Yan and song families, but he didn't plan on it. Ordinary people do not know the change of imperial power of Xifeng, but Zhu Yuren knows it very well.

This time, when the former emperor died and Lu collapsed, the Song family and Cui family were the biggest stakeholders. The second is these top families headed by the Yan family.

The Yan Family followed the lead of the Cui family. If they fight with these immortals, it must be an uneven distribution of interests. What does it have to do with you?

Although Zhu Yuren is straight, he is not stupid. If you're stupid, you can't be the voice of the center.

Early in the morning, when Zhu Yuren was drinking rice porridge and eating pickles at home, suddenly the housekeeper Zhu Li came and whispered in his ear, "Sir, there is a beggar at the door who wants to see you."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuren's face changed greatly. He stared at Zhu Li coldly and said, "do I want to see all the beggars in the capital that day? So I don't have to eat? Do you need to be on duty? "

Knowing that the master was angry, Julie quickly explained, "no, that's what I said to the beggar - but I didn't expect that the beggar fell to his knees at our door with a plop. At any rate, he just didn't want to get up. When I was ready to let the guard lift him up and throw him away, he felt such a thing from his arms that as long as I showed him to the master, the master would meet him. "

While talking, Julie put a jade pendant on the table.

The jade pendant is pure white and clear in color. There are floating clouds in it. You can see that it is not ordinary. The jade pendant is carved into the shape of a unicorn. It is exquisitely carved. The unicorn is beautiful and shining, just like a living creature.

Zhu Yuren's face changed for a moment, staring at the jade pendant on the dinner table, as if he had found something incredible.

Zhu Yuren's face was cloudy and uncertain. He pondered for a long time and asked aloud, "where is the beggar now?"

"At the back door of the mansion, I saw him in ragged clothes and as thin as dry firewood, but he was able to take out such keepsakes. I thought I might really know the master." Zhu Li carefully stared at Zhu Yuren's face and said aloud, "so he took him to the porter and asked him to wait a little. If you don't want to talk to me, I'll ask someone to give you some broken money. "

"Take him into my study quietly." Zhu Yuren said in a deep voice“ Tell the porter not to tell anyone about it, or you'll break your leg. "

"Yes, sir. The gatehouse is guarded by our old family. They know the importance. " Julie promised and immediately backed out.

Zhu Yuren reached out to touch the jade pendant and muttered to himself, "brother Sanxie, why do you bother? After many years, I just want to complain for you. I'm afraid it's easy for people to say a little and it's difficult for old friends to achieve their wishes. "

Having lost his appetite for breakfast, Zhu Yuren grabbed the jade pendant in his hand and walked towards the study.

Sure enough, just as Zhu Yuren went to his study and opened the door, a middle-aged man fell to his knees with a plop, hugged his calf and cried, "uncle, I'm Wenjin, I'm your nephew wenmian ----"

Zhu Yuren sighed deeply, stretched out his hand to pull the beggar up, and said in a deep voice, "I know you are Wenjin. Seeing this Kirin jade pendant, I have guessed your identity - I personally wore it around your neck when you were born, in order to congratulate brother Sanxie on his happiness. But your family was not buried in the hands of the bandit red boy. All the families died, and none of them escaped. When the news came to Yidu, I was devastated. I specially sent competent people to Yancheng to find you, but no one was found. I only saw the dense rows of bodies ---- how did Wenjin escape? Why did you come to Tiandu? "

"Uncle, you have to complain for our family - father and mother. They died miserably. They were all killed. Our Li clan was killed by the Song family. " The middle-aged beggar knelt down again and banged his head at Zhu Yuren.

Zhu Yuren said coldly, "Wenjin, get up and talk. Since I let someone take you to this study, I'm already involved - you tell me the truth, and then we'll take a long-term view. "

"Yes. Uncle. " The middle-aged beggar got up from the ground. His eyes were red and his voice was sad. "My Little Sister Li Wan has been beautiful since childhood. She is also good at playing the piano and is famous in the capital. He was hated by Song Yu because he was frightened and afraid when he saw Song Yu of the Song family. At an elegant gathering, he secretly followed his little sister and took her away. The poor little sister was badly ruined. It was not easy to find an opportunity to escape, but he was torn to pieces by the chased Song Yu in the street -- "

Remembering the tragedy of her little sister, Li Wenjin was very sad and choked: "pity my little sister - they killed her. I was killed by Song Yu - my father went to the Song family to pursue responsibility, but was forced by the power of the Song family. First, he asked someone to take the blame for Song Yu, and then transferred my father to Yancheng and ordered our family to take office immediately - the world thought that my father was bought by power, so he sacrificed my little sister's life, but who knew that my father was in tears every day? "

Zhu Yuren nodded and said, "I know something about this matter. But after the incident, all of you Li family disappeared overnight. Your father went to Yancheng to take office without saying hello. I just wanted to speak for you, but I didn't have a bitter Lord, so it was difficult to accomplish -- "

At that time, the world thought that Li Ruigang, that is, Li Sanjie, was bought by the Song family and used the position of Yancheng City Lord in exchange for his daughter's life. Although Zhu Yuren did not believe that his best friend was such a figure, when he went to confront Zhu Yuren, he found that the Li Sanxie family had disappeared, and the news that he had taken office in Yancheng came a few days later. Zhu Yuren sneered three times and never mentioned it again.

"Father, why don't you go? The Song family sent someone to catch their fifth brother and went to Yancheng. Their father was allowed to rush to Yancheng within three days. If he said he was one day late, he cut off one arm of his younger brother. If he was three days late, he would kill his fifth brother ----- my father didn't dare to delay, and xingnang didn't have time to clean up, so he took his family to Yancheng ----- we knew that we were weak and difficult to compete with a big family like the Song family. Unexpectedly, After Song Yu was sent to the army, he was very promising and soon became an Hussars general. My father has been paying attention to Song Yu's trend. Whenever he was promoted, his father's face darkened. Song Yu was promoted to three levels in a row in a big victory at the iron gate. His father looked like death. He called our family together and asked us to pack up. He wanted to send our brothers away overnight -- "

"We didn't know what we meant at that time. It was the Song family who killed my sister. It was the Song family who owed us. Why are we so afraid of these villains ----- besides, we have always lived in Yancheng and never expressed any dissatisfaction with the Song family. Why do we run away? Why did Soong kill us? His father said that the greater the power and rank of Song Yu, the more things he did became a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh. He had to pull out this nail, otherwise he might be thrown out by political enemies at any time ----- his father said that the best way was to kill us. Only dead people can settle this matter without proof. Before we could escape, the bandit brought people to kill us, rushed into the city master's house and killed our Li family -- "

Li wenmian wiped tears with his dark sleeves and said aloud, "at that time, a friend invited me out to drink. I happened to have an upset stomach and went to the thatched cottage - when I came back, all my friends died. I remembered my father's words and knew that they were coming for me. Instead of going home, I went straight to the wilderness and hid for a few days. Until the government issued a notice, I dared to mix with the crowd and take a look at the corpse of my Li family -- "

Li Wenjin crawled on the ground, sobbed and said, "uncle, I ----- I beg you to make decisions for my Li family, or my parents will die unjustly -----"

After listening to Li Wenjin's story, Zhu Yuren was inexhaustible, but hesitated.

He naturally believed Li Wenjin's accusation, which was really the means of the Song family. They regard themselves as scholars, so those dirty things are handled by others. Li Wenjin would not believe that Li would offend the bandit hong'er, nor would he believe that a bandit brought people to the city master's house because of a little dispute over interests and slaughtered the master of the house and his family members.

Only song has reason to do so, in order to cover up Song Yu's crime and pave the way for him to finally control the iron gate.

But do you really want to wade in this muddy water?

Who are they facing? The Song family.

It is the Song family who has power over the government and the opposition. It is the king behind the scenes who arches the king of Chu high in front.

As long as he reveals his intention to overturn the case for Li, and even as long as the Song family inquires about his contact with Li's family, I'm afraid he will also encounter accidents.

I'm not sorry for my death. I'm afraid my family will not be spared.

Isn't the experience of the Li family a good illustration of the problem? Song's style of action has always been to eliminate the roots. The first Emperor just scolded song's dictatorship in the back palace. As a result, the first emperor was killed by Lu------

Seeing Zhu Yuren's silence, Li Wenjin only felt that his heart was sinking.

"Did those people bully themselves? They said that as long as they told the truth in front of Uncle Zhu, he would make decisions for himself ----"

"Uncle --" Zhu Yuren shouted“ My nephew knew that this would make my uncle embarrassed, but my nephew really couldn't help it - my nephew's health is getting worse and worse. I'm afraid he won't live for a few years. If my nephew also dies of illness, my Li family will have no children and no grandchildren, and our Li family's great revenge will no longer be avenged, and no one even knows -- "

Zhu Yuren gently rubbed the Kirin jade match in his palm and said aloud, "your father and brother Sanxie were villagers and confidants. When I was a child, I was poor, and I didn't even have enough to eat, and I didn't have money to study. It was your Li family's support and assistance that I Zhu Yuren could read and hyphenate, so that I could have this wealth today. I owe you too much, too much. "

"My father only told us about the deep friendship with my uncle, and never mentioned the rescue." Li Wenjin echoed.

"Well, this is the brother Sanxie I know. There are many who add flowers to the icing on the cake, and few who give charcoal in the snow. In those days, your father was a provider of charcoal in the snow. Without his basket of charcoal, I'm afraid I would have been frozen to death by the heavy snow. "

"Uncle -----"

Zhu Yuren waved his hand and said, "I already know this. Just stay in my residence first. There are also pilgrims in the house who know some ways to overcome the Yellow River. They will help to see your physical condition. If it is not difficult to treat, it should be no big problem -- "

"Thank you, uncle." Li Wenjin shed tears of gratitude.

"Thank you for what? It was a family. " Zhu Yuren waved his hand“ Wenjin has escaped for many years. Why didn't he come to me earlier? But this is the time to come back? "

Li Wenjin jumped in his heart and said expressionless, "don't hide it from my uncle. If I came to ask my uncle for help before, Wen Jin still hesitated in his heart --"

"Are you afraid I won't help you?"

"I don't doubt my uncle's willingness to help others. I'm just worried that song's power will put my uncle in trouble."

"Now Song's power is more powerful than in the past. Aren't you afraid?"

"I just -- I just want to die in a few days. I always have to take a risk to try -- what if -- what if my uncle has any way?"

Zhu Yuren's eyes were like a knife, searching and scraping Li Wenjin's face. Li Wenjin felt the burning pain on his face, but he didn't dare to avoid it. He tried to face Zhu Yuren's eyes.

For a long time, Zhu Yuren sighed gently and called, "Zhu Li, take Wenjin to have a rest."

"Yes, sir." Zhu Li promised and took Li Wenjin out of the study.

Zhu Yuren stood in his study and looked at the four big words on the plaque hanging on the wall: Kuang Lang and no dust.

This was given to him by the first emperor by hand. He didn't even have a signature and seal. However, Zhu Yuren is grateful and has always taken these four words as his personal criterion and official way.

"No dust, no dust, who in the world can make the heart no dust?" Zhu Yuren murmured to himself, "it's an honor for Zhu. I don't know who likes to become the sharp blade stabbing song ----- for the country and the people, but also for his best friend. This knife must be done by himself."

In the silk and satin shop, Li shepherd has done it more and more smoothly. If other guys are busy, he can be responsible for receiving new guests alone.

Both Gao Dafu and Chen goudan are very fond of Li shepherd's generosity, and are afraid of the "landlady" cousin behind him, so they won't take the initiative to offend him. Morley made a big order for Cui carefully and princess chuning because of Li shepherd, and made a little intimate with him. I think the boy is not good-looking, but the ugly man has ugly luck and can still make money for the shop.

He didn't know the real identity of boss Mo, and he only regarded him as a rich man in Tiandu city. When Li shepherd was cleaning the dust on the shop with a duster, the landlady disguised by red tea suddenly burst in, pointed to Li shepherd and yelled: "Huang Ergou, I told you how many times, come and work hard, observe with your eyes and study with your heart ----- look at you, let you clean the shop, you use the duster to throw it away, Where did all the ash fall? If it falls on the silk, the color of the silk will be black and dark. When the guests come, they think it is a second-hand goods of previous years. How can it be sold? " The boss's wife was angry, and the clerk in the store was silent. Even Morley looked up at Li shepherd and showed dissatisfaction“ Look at your dead style. Don't influence others to do business in the store. Come out to me. Today I'll teach you a good lesson -- "red tea shouted angrily and walked ahead“ Landlady, don't be angry. Huang Ergou just came here and didn't understand the rules. I finished the work for him and would never let the guests see that dust had fallen on the silk shop of our store - "Gao Dafu saw that Li shepherd was going to be punished, bit his teeth, stood up and stood in front of red tea to intercede for Li shepherd“ Yes, Huang Ergou has done a big business since he first came here. He is already a hero of our store - he is much better than me and Da Fu when we first came here. The landlady will give Er Gou another chance. He will certainly do better and better - - er Gou, please apologize to the landlady. You won't make such a mistake again in the future, will you? "“ Are you two itching? " Tea sneered: "when I taught you a lesson, did you two have a chance to talk? Go and work for me. " Red tea glared at Li shepherd fiercely. I don't know when he knew how to buy people's hearts. The two silly goods in the shop seem to have been wearing the same pair of pants with him“ Yellow dog, you come with me. I want to talk to you today. " Under the worried eyes of several people, Li shepherd walked out of the shop and followed tea to the backyard where his family lived. Entering the room and closing the door, tea whispered, "childe, we have sent people in."“ Um. " Li shepherd nodded“ Well done. "“ Although Zhu Yuren is famous for his straightness, he is a famous admonitor in Tiandu city. But this man is so wise that he has been in officialdom for decades - will he fall in our plan? "“ Plan? What plan? " Li shepherd asked“ Don't you want Zhu Yuren to stand up and overturn the case for the Li family? "“ Yes. " Li shepherd nodded and said, "but what's the plan? Just because of the situation, we sent the son of Zhu Yuren's close friend to him to let him know the truth of what happened that year - whether he should overturn the case for the Li family or not is his own choice. It has nothing to do with us. "“ I was afraid that Li Jinwen would be seen through by him and knew that he was instructed by others - - at that time, I was afraid that there was some love in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel cold? "“ Doubt is inevitable. However, I didn't ask you to teach Li Jinwen a set of words - that set of words is true, and his physical illness is also true. Even if Zhu Yuren has doubts, how can he distinguish between true and false? " After a pause, Li shepherd continued: "moreover, whether Zhu Yuren is willing to stand up and overturn the case for the Li family, the key is not whether Li Jinwen has deceived him, but how much remains in his feelings or gratitude for the Li family --" childe, even if Zhu Yuren is willing to stand up and overturn the case for the Li family, can he turn it over? "“ So we need another key figure. " A cold smile appeared at the corners of Li shepherd's mouth.
