The 221st chapter mouth eight out of the horse, a top two
In the quiet night, Yin Xiao brought hot water from the kitchen, opened a clay pot in the side room, took out a paper bag, twisted some tea leaves out of it, and then heated the teapot and cup on the table.
I made a pot of hot tea for Song Huiyue.
Li Jun saw that he was smarter than that big girl Yuan Yuan, but he didn't dare to trouble him to pour him a glass of water. He poured a glass of water like a one-armed man, his fingers were red from the heat, but he didn't let go.
The hot air mixed with the fragrance of tea warmed the night, and even the breath became moist and comfortable.
Under the influence of this cup of hot tea, he dared to think that his father had also been a guest at the Zhang family back then, and the letter must have been placed in Prime Minister Zhang's study.
Although Prime Minister Zhang's study is not big, the books in it are as vast as the sea. If you accidentally put a book that Prime Minister Zhang has put away in a high cabinet, it will feel like it will never see the light of day.
Zhang Xutang is already bad if he doesn't read, so naturally he won't read. The words of sages and sages in the book are simply making him more difficult, and Zhang Xuling is too mediocre and a bit obsessed with reading. There are many books, even if he wants to read them
He couldn't understand it either.
Prime Minister Zhang has so many things to do every day, he is so busy at court that he has no time to read the books in the study again.
So no one has found the whereabouts of the letter.
After listening to his eloquent remarks, Song Huiyue picked up the teacup, blew on the tea, and took a slow sip: "You have a point. I just have one thing that I haven't figured out from just now until now."
Li Jun tilted his head: "What's the matter?"
"Master Zhang, why do you want to persuade Prince Chen to die?"
With King Chen's military strength at that time, it was not as good as the imperial army. How could he really lead his troops into the palace?
Li Jun took a sip of hot tea: "Why only Prime Minister Zhang himself knows what happened back then? Maybe it was to use my father's hand to attack the Pei family. Regardless of whether it happens or not, a palace coup will
It can seriously damage the vitality of the Pei family."
The fact is indeed the case. The Pei family suffered heavy losses in this palace incident. In order to protect the emperor, more than half of the imperial troops and private guards loyal to the Pei family were killed or injured. Even the sons of the Pei family were involved.
Only then did the Pei family be expelled from the court, and the Queen Mother Pei was seriously ill and gave up power.
Song Huiyue's intuition that rebellion is not that simple, there must be other secrets in it that are not accessible to outsiders.
She paid close attention to Li Jun's expression to see if Li Jun knew anything about it, but Li Jun began to wander again, as if he didn't realize it.
So she lowered her head to drink tea, and her thoughts gradually became clearer.
There was no need for her to pursue the events of twenty years ago. Regardless of whether Prime Minister Zhang's letter was true or false, she had to seize this opportunity.
Otherwise, where can I find such an opportunity for Zhang Xutang to pay for the lives of those who died on Hengyu Street?
Thinking of this, she put aside all the miscellaneous thoughts and asked Li Jun to sleep at Tan Ran's place. Yin Xiao was next door. With just a voice, Yin Xiao could save him from fire and water.
Li Jun went to bed, thinking he couldn't sleep, but he slept peacefully until dawn. When he was about to wake up, he heard Song Huiyue's voice outside, as if she was about to go out.
If Song Huiyue wants to go out, Yinxiao will follow her, so he can't stay at home.
As soon as he got up, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out, shouting to wait a moment. However, when he reached the door, he stopped and stepped back.
An idler outside the door strolled over with his sleeves rolled up. He was not the one who appeared last night, but like the idlers last night, he also had a peach blossom in his ear.
Li Jun rubbed the gum in the corners of his eyes and stood still.
Tan Ran looked him up and down: "Either you go out or go in, don't stand here."
Li Jun laughed, his smile was full, his eyes were strong, and he ran to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Song Huiyue went to the Jin Palace.
It was cold in spring, and there was a light snowfall in the middle of the night. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground. Walking on the bluestone of the palace, Song Huiyue felt that the soles of her shoes and the bluestone were frozen hard together.
Although there was no snow today, the sky was cloudy enough, and it was dark and unpleasant. She had only walked for less than a moment when she heard a large number of footsteps behind her. When she looked back, she saw that the servants and guards were returning, surrounded by the servants and guards.
.
When Song Huiyue arrived, the wind blew under King Jin's feet, and his crimson robes and skirts flew around him, making a hunting sound.
He walked straight to Song Huiyue and took her hand: "Have you eaten?"
Song Huiyue smiled: "I just ate at home, soaked in the light of Qinghui, and drank a bowl of nourishing soup."
King Jin looked at her carefully as he walked. He saw that although the weather was cold, her face was flushed, her eyes were bright, she was in good spirits, and her hands were warm, so he also smiled.
As soon as Yin Xiao found You Song last night, he knew it. Yin Xiao said it very simply, as if Song Huiyue wanted to borrow a few people to teach a few thieves a lesson.
He was worried and quietly took a carriage out to take a look. He saw a group of people jumping out from the wall of Prince Chen's Mansion. Li Jun was covered in blood, but Song Huiyue looked fine.
When they went to Dr. Zu's house, after leaving, he learned from Dr. Zu that only Li Jun almost lost a hand, and then he was a little relieved to know that Song Huiyue was not injured.
He was worried that Li Jun would be naughty, so he stayed outside the door of Song's house for a while. When Yin Xiao went to the kitchen to get a pot of hot water, he came out to check and saw that it was a royal carriage, so he went in to make tea.
He waited in fear for half a night, until everything in the house was quiet and all the lights were out, before he returned to the palace.
After coming back, I didn't sleep for long before going to court. When I returned to the public house in Hudu, it was even more noisy and swollen.
Nowadays, various places are measuring fields and redrawing fish scale books. The fish scale books do not match the fields, which has been a long-standing problem. Originally, various parties were thinking of playing a sloppy eye. Unexpectedly, I personally sent an internal servant to inform the state supervisors that they were not even sloppy.
I can't even hit it with an eye.
In less than half a month, many wealthy households had colluded with county magistrates and misappropriated their fields, and some had implicated Kyoto officials. These people had a tacit understanding, and after going to court, they went straight to the public house in the capital to intercede.
The King of Jin immediately called Xie Zhou and asked him to come and make jokes with these people.
Xie Zhou was suffering from the fact that the tabloid was banned and had nowhere to display his talent. He came with great interest and ridiculed those who asked for mercy, and sent them away in shame.
Among them, Ge Erdan and Ge Renmei were the most unlucky.
He was not begging for mercy for himself, but his wife had a distant cousin who often came and went in the house. They had a close brother-sister relationship. According to the wife, when she was a child, even if it was a piece of candy, her cousin would share half of it with her.
This cousin got into a lawsuit over the annexation of land and came to the capital in person to mediate. His wife asked Ge Renmei to come to the King of Jin to ask for favors.
Ge Renmei didn't dare to offend his wife, so she had no choice but to come for a visit.
After Xie Zhou heard him tell the whole story, he was not as ruthless as he was to others. Instead, he solemnly nodded and said that he would definitely mention it to the prince.
At the end, he personally sent Ge Renmei out, patted Ge Renmei on the shoulder, and said sympathetically: "Brother, you are miserable, your wife has fallen in love."
