Pingjiang Hou said to himself: "I treated Wu Guogong's case impartially. I didn't dig out evidence from other people's mouths. I didn't interrogate him during the day. I didn't kill the person, so what does it have to do with me."
Wu Guogong was dead, and the evidence was useless. The men and horses in his hands were unable to settle accounts with Zhang Lin. Thinking of this, Pingjiang Hou went to sleep with a relieved heart.
...
The campfire can protect against wild beasts, and it can also prevent insects and ants from being nearby when the three of them sleep.
Gaoshan was busy carving out a small world, which was what Miao Bao used to do every night. He hung curtains to repel mosquitoes and Yu Wuluo slept here alone.
Yu Wuluo and Lei Fengqi were chatting across the bonfire.
"When my second uncle sent me out of the camp, he helped Pingjiang Marquis to clarify that it turned out that I was still not careful about things and had never thought that the marquis was inferior to the Duke. The second uncle said that as early as five or six generations ago, Wu Xuliang, the Duke of the three families, almost
The Pingjiang Marquis Mansion was uprooted. The Pingjiang Marquis Mansion regained military power, but it had no intention of harming the lives of the three families."
The feud has been stacked for more than several generations, making it difficult for onlookers to see clearly.
Lei Fengqi smiled and then said: "The only thing you are not considerate about is worrying about capturing Wu Guogong. He poisoned us the first time he saw us. Fatty Jin randomly identified us without evidence, and let three hundred soldiers take our lives. Everyone.
People who are in trouble and use it to hurt others do not deserve sympathy."
Yu Wuluo deeply agreed.
Zhang Lin came to force his grandfather. What his grandfather always wanted was for Lei Fengqi to ascend the throne, but he did not use the convenience of his hometown to give him power.
After Lei Fengqi said this, he felt sorry for himself. The whole family's life was almost hanging by a thread. However, when the four brothers went inland, they did not take the opportunity to kill political opponents by acting in secret.
Yu Wuluo said slowly: "No matter what time, the lives of innocent people are still important."
"That's it."
Yu Wuluo went to sleep, recalling that she asked her second uncle: "Master, my grandfather said that the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion was not doing something right." The second uncle laughed and said: "The Pingjiang Marquis Mansion has reduced the military power of the three military generals in the Guogong Mansion. Grandfather said that the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion was doing something wrong.
It destroyed the original structure and disrupted the original arrangements of the court. You were probably still young when you heard this, so I can’t blame you for hearing a word but not hearing a word."
When the moon is in the middle of the sky, Lei Feng rises and sleeps on a high mountain, and he keeps watch.
Behind the curtain hung on the tree branches, Yu Wuluo slept soundly.
Marquis Pingjiang has her second uncle by her side, and there is another person to calm the chaos, which makes her feel at ease.
As for the possibility that she didn’t know where her second uncle was serving? After the news of Lei Fengqi’s ascension to the throne came out, his second uncle was promoted to an official position and had his own yamen. Worried that Pingjiang Marquis had four soldiers and horses and coveted the throne, Yu Xinzhong asked
He has been following Pingjiang Hou.
When someone gets promoted at this time, both uncle and nephew know who is trying to win over him, but they just don't talk about him.
...
The next day, Marquis Pingjiang sent Kuai Ma official documents to various places under his jurisdiction, asking for the old ghost of Heifeng Village who killed Wu Guogong.
Black Wind Village once again became famous far and wide.
...
The blazing sun steamed the ground, and the official road was unobstructed, and pedestrians could not help but sweat.
The two horses stopped here and looked at the Guangyang City Gate dozens of steps away. Zhao Tinggong said gratefully: "I'm home, brother. Thank you for sending me all the way."
Along the way, we passed the market towns under the jurisdiction of Qingchang County Prince and the cities under Shunxing County Prince. They were all in a commotion and preparing to raise troops. They were afraid of leaking the news and stopped pedestrians from passing through casually.
Taiping either broke through with his sword or knew that there was a path nearby that he could cross.
Taiping was an honest young man and insisted: "The city gate is not your home gate. I promise Fifth Brother to take you home."
"Okay, please come to my house for a few days, and I will help you get rid of the jewelry in your baggage. You can get the money before you leave." Zhao Tinggong said enthusiastically, wanting to do something for Taiping.
"That's not necessary, we can handle it ourselves." Taiping raised his chin at the city gate: "Go into the city, I'll watch you enter the house."
This was a very serious young man. Zhao Tinggong stopped talking and rode into the city with Taiping.
His house was not on the same street as Zhao Youlin, but after seeing his cousin's reply, Zhao Tinggong finally parked his horse outside Zhao Youlin's gate. He solemnly wanted to invite Taiping to come in through the gate and introduce an important guest to his cousin, but he just talked to the gatekeeper.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, I looked back and saw that pedestrians were constantly coming and going, and Taiping was nowhere to be found.
"Child, you should come in and have a bowl of tea to cool down before you leave." Zhao Tinggong had no choice but to come in by himself.
When Zhao Youlin heard that he was coming back, he walked over to greet him. The old master came in from the inner room in a panic, with tears in his eyes.
"Ting Gong, it's good that you're fine. Prince Shunxing and Prince Qingchang have the intention of leading troops to the capital to rebel at any time. There are many roads that won't let you go. I'm really afraid that you won't be able to come back."
Zhao Tinggong let him hold his hand and look at it again and again, smiling slightly and calmly.
Zhao Youlin slowly calmed down, and Zhao Tinggong knelt down to greet him and presented the purple bamboo flute with both hands: "Grandpa, the matter is urgent, so I came back to talk on the way. This is what I picked up on the road. I respectfully present it to my grandfather for viewing."
"It's a good thing."
Zhao Youlin only glanced at the glittering purple bamboo flute, put it on the small table aside, and pulled Zhao Tinggong to sit down: "Tell me, how are Yu Wu and Lei Qi? Where have you been, and what happened to you?
Coming back?"
"Grandpa, listen to the important words first."
"Okay, you say."
"Gong Wu Guo rebelled."
Zhao Youlin was stunned on the spot, his eyes were frozen, and he was completely motionless for a moment. Zhao Tinggong saw something was wrong and shouted several times to call him back.
Zhao Youlin said anxiously: "He still has no less than five or six important letters from me. He asked about current affairs, and I answered him kindly. Now that I think about it, it was all a trap. I was fooled by him."
All the way back and blocked all the way, Zhao Youlin and Guangyang City did not know that Wu Guogong was dead.
Zhao Tinggong comforted him and said, "Grandpa, don't be anxious. I'm afraid you don't believe that Duke Wu is rebelling, so you'll go back halfway. I'll go out again, and when I see the fifth and seventh brothers, I'll ask them to help my grandfather solve this big problem."
Zhao Youlin never became an official in his life. In fact, being an official is not directly related to wisdom.
It's just that he hasn't become an official and talks about the current situation with contempt, but it doesn't mean that the person concerned is incompetent.
At Zhao Youlin's age, the more anxious he is, the quicker he calms down. There are people at his age who become more aggressive the more anxious they are, which is not the same as him.
Since it was useless to be anxious, Zhao Youlin wanted to hear about Zhao Tinggong's departure first.
He regained some composure and said: "Oh, why do you say fifth brother before seventh brother? From the title, it should be seventh brother and fifth brother."
"The fifth brother is the head of the family, and the seventh brother is the second head." Zhao Tinggong replied: "I don't know if I don't go out. I dare to say that the fifth brother is not a young and frivolous person who went to Feiyutai. He is the real head of the family."
"Whoever is saying that you are young and frivolous is talking ill of me to my grandfather!" An angry Zhao Tingxiao came outside.
He refused to walk properly. As soon as he jumped over the threshold, before he could see his grandfather's guests clearly, he rolled up his sleeves, tucked his clothes and stretched out his fists, preparing to hit someone.
