One hundred and sixty-nine, the old man of the tea stall

"What are you talking about? This is my stall, so I naturally come here every day." The father-in-law said to Jia Xiuyue.

Jia Xiuyue seemed to be waiting for her father to say this, so she smiled and said, "What happened that day? I was recuperating at home these days, but I just heard about this, but I don't know what's going on."

It seemed that Jia Xiuyue's words aroused the father-in-law's words. It might be because no one spoke this morning. When he heard Jia Xiuyue's words, the father-in-law actually brought a bench and sat over.

When Jia Xiuyue saw her father-in-law sitting over, she knew her father-in-law’s thoughts, so she moved her body to the side and gave up her seat to her.

When the father-in-law saw Jia Xiuyue so good, he did not refuse and sat next to Jia Xiuyue.

"That day was yesterday, and I set up a stall here. I knew Uncle Fu from that mansion. I came to me for tea yesterday morning. The master of their family heard that it was really in Qinglin's mansion."

Speaking of this, the father-in-law seemed to remember something, and suddenly slapped his forehead, then said to Jia Xiuyue: "The master of his family is Zheng Lin, Duke of Zheng."

The father-in-law looked at Jia Xiuyue again, as if he was observing the other party's reaction. After a while, he said, "Depending on your age, I think I must have never heard of this person, alright."

Mr. Jia Xiu seemed to be interested and asked, "Brother-in-law, since this person is already a Duke, why haven't I heard of it?"

"This was also the incident when the late emperor was alive. It was a sensation at that time. Now, we, the old man like us, still remember what happened at that time, should we, who have lived for a long time."

The father-in-law was born in the 25th year of Yuanzhen. When the incident of King Qi came out, he was only nine years old. He was still young at that time, but he knew that a man named King Qi led a group of rebels from Qianzhou Prefecture to outside Kyoto City. At that time, the Kyoto Prefecture was also panic.

The nobles on the West Street also began to clean up their belongings and prepare to leave the city. In addition to the nobles on the West Street, the merchants who also did business in Kyoto Prefecture also began to spend money to buy relationships, hoping to escape from Kyoto Prefecture before the Qi King's army attacked in.

At that time, in order to boost morale, the late emperor had personally led a large army to fight against the rebels of the King of Qi. Only Chu Boxiong, who was still the crown prince at the time, was left in the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

In order to prevent riots in the city, Chu Boxiong had already issued a law that strictly prohibited the escape, but under the circumstances at that time, there was no way to stop the people who wanted to escape. Even if Chu Boxiong killed several high-ranking officials, it would be useless.

The biggest riot at that time was Zheng Guogong and Zheng Lin. At this time, Zheng Lin took advantage of the fact that the former emperor Chu Yunxiao was not in Kyoto Mansion, and the brave King Liang had already gone to the front line. The entire Kyoto Mansion was without a leader, leaving only the prince Chu Boxiong, the governor, so Zheng Lin naturally would not take it seriously.

So on the second day after the rebels of the King of Qi were about to attack Kyoto Prefecture, Zheng Lin, with a group of ministers in the court, completely turned against each other and surrounded the palace.

Crown Prince Chu Boxiong naturally would not sit still and wait for death. Although Zheng Lin's sudden turn against him caught Chu Boxiong off guard, he finally dealt with it and led the palace guards to resist the next day.

Originally, Zheng Lin thought he was sure to win, but now the entire Kyoto Prefecture is under his control. But no one expected that the former emperor Chu Yunxiao actually returned to the court, and the rebels of the King of Qi retreated to the bottom of the Liuling Mountains.

In this way, the siege of Kyoto Prefecture has been resolved.

According to the father-in-law's recollection, Zheng Lin and his group of troubled people were imprisoned in prison. Later, they died and killed. However, because Chu Yunxiao was convinced to Chu State in the Zheng family and was afraid of the other party's complicated relationship network, he asked him to leave Kyoto Prefecture and go to Qinglin Prefecture.

"Later, the house was empty, leaving only a guardian Uncle Fu. After the current emperor ascended the throne, the Zheng family's house was occasionally returned, but it was only a trip back at the end of the year."

After the father-in-law finished speaking, he seemed to be a little unsatisfied, but Jia Xiuyue also listened seriously. After all, it is a bit difficult to enter the Zheng family by himself in this situation. It is better to observe it carefully here, and maybe you can find something strange.

"Later, my father-in-law didn't say anything about yesterday." Jia Xiuyue asked her father-in-law.

My father-in-law seemed to be a little dry,

He also poured himself a bowl of bitter wheat tea, then drank it all, and seemed to feel hungry, so he took two cakes from the stall and handed them to Jia Xiuyue and the other for himself to eat.

"What happened yesterday, I think about it. After Uncle Fu left me, a young man came. The young man wore half a mask. It can be seen that he was quite handsome. He just didn't know why he had to wear a mask. When he first came over, I thought he was just for the girl from Tianxianglou. Later, after Uncle Fu came out of the Zheng family, he went to the Zheng family after that."

When Jia Xiuyue heard this, he guessed that the person coming should be Qi Lianyu.

"Yesterday, the Zheng family was indeed a little strange. Every day, Fu Bo came to my tea stall and I would chat with me for a while after drinking morning tea. But after drinking tea yesterday, I hurried back. Later, shortly after the guy came, something strange happened again."

Jia Xiuyue looked curious and asked her father-in-law: "What's strange?"

This is the essence of human beings. They always like to ask questions about strange things. For example, now, so my father-in-law doesn’t feel strange. He was here to keep Jia Xiuyue in a silence, so now Jia Xiuyue’s question is naturally a little proud.

"The strange thing is that the street suddenly became very quiet, it was very strange. There was no one around the Zheng family's house, and even the surrounding stalls were gone. Of course, my stall was driven away, and I didn't say why. This was something I had never seen before. Later, I heard that the eldest prince was assassinated here."

The father-in-law also sorted out the matter a little. Jia Xiuyue naturally felt something was wrong with what he said. Even if the eldest prince went to another place, he would not have any action on Jingjie. Therefore, Jia Xiuyue always felt that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy specially prepared for Qi Lianyu.

But Jia Xiuyue didn't know the situation at that time. This was indeed a conspiracy, but the purpose was for Deng Yue. As for Qi Lianyu, it was just a matter of course.
