Chapter 43 Asking for advice

Chapter 43 Asking for Advice

When the morning light appeared on the horizon, several people in Duchasi who were eating meat and drinking by the bonfire were also interrupted.

The guard on duty came in and asked: "Zhu Chuan, will the governor come to the palace today? Your Majesty sent someone to ask yesterday. If you want to go today, let the palace know."

According to the system, the Governor of the Ducha Division needs to go to court, because Huo Lian has just returned from an inspection abroad, and His Majesty sympathized with him and allowed him to rest.

But since His Majesty sent someone to ask, that means he has an order.

Although Huo Lian was unscrupulous in front of the courtiers, in fact he was a very polite person and only observed etiquette for His Majesty.

Zhu Chuan jumped up: "Why are you talking now?"

After saying that, he ran away quickly.

"I thought you were busy, so you brought that stupid guy from Jingzhao Mansion." The messenger also complained.

The night gradually became brighter, and the inner courtyard where Huo Lian was located was quiet and there was no one around.

Zhu Chuan stood in front of the door, looked at the closed door, raised his hand and knocked lightly, calling in a low voice: "Miss Wanwan."

Following his voice, there were sounds of footsteps and the sound of chains.

"Xiaochuan, what's wrong?" a soft female voice said.

Zhu Chuan hurriedly asked: "Has the governor risen?"

The female voice said: "I'm awake, but I'm not up yet."

"Miss Wanwan, please help me ask, will the Governor enter the palace today?" Zhu Chuan said.

The female voice inside said hello, and then the footsteps and the sound of chains went inward, and came back a moment later, and at the same time the door was opened.

There were no lights in the room, it was dim at dawn, and the figure of a woman was blurry.

"Bazi asked you to come in and talk." She said softly.

There is no longer Liang Bazi in the world, only Huo Lian.

No one dares to call this name again.

But there is someone who can.

Liang Siwan, the daughter of Liang Si.

There were many wives and concubines in Liang Temple, but they never had any children. It was not until they were in their forties that a dancing girl gave birth to this daughter.

Liang Temple regards it as a treasure.

Liang Si died, and this daughter was the only one who survived the grave crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, because Huo Lian requested the late emperor, saying that what he most wanted to be was not Liang Si's adopted son, but Liang Si's son-in-law.

The late emperor didn't care about a woman and gave her to Huo Lian.

Therefore, Liang Siwan is now regarded as a treasure by Huo Lian.

She only calls Huo Lian Bazi, because Huo Lian is her father-killing enemy, and she and he are sworn enemies.

But Liang Bazi was her adopted brother who was familiar and close to her, so she felt like she was living in the past.

Huo Lian is willing to let her indulge in the past.

Zhu Chuan was naturally willing to do what Huo Lian was willing to do. Hearing her call Bazi by his name, Zhu Chuan was not displeased at all and smiled and got out of the way.

"Okay, I get it." he said.

Liang Siwan raised her foot to step onto the threshold. This time, not only could she hear the soft sound of the chains, but she could also see the iron chains on her ankles under her skirt when she lowered her head.

Zhu Chuan was no stranger to this chain, as all the death row inmates and serious criminals in the cell wore it.

The iron chains tied her feet, so Liang Siwan had to take small steps, but she was used to it. She stepped steadily across the threshold and stood in the morning light, and the person became clearer.

Liang Siwan was about the same age as Huo Lian, with big eyes and smooth jade-like skin. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and yawned, with a look of tiredness on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss." Zhu Chuan said hurriedly, "Go and have a rest."

Liang Siwan nodded and walked slowly.

Zhu Chuan thought of something else: "Miss, is there anything you want to play with? I came from Nanshi today and bought it for you."

When we were at the Liang family, Zhu Chuan was Huo Lian's servant, running errands for him, and he also bought a lot of things for Miss Liang.

Liang Siwan looked back at him, seeming to be thinking, and then shook her head: "No, they are all at home." After that, she continued walking.

Four or five maidservants suddenly walked out of the originally quiet courtyard, followed quietly behind Liang Siwan, and quickly left.

Zhu Chuan withdrew his gaze and jumped into the room in two or three steps.

"Captain, Governor." He shouted softly.

There was a hum from inside.

Zhu Chuan happily passed away, lit the lamp skillfully, poured warm water and walked to the bed.

Huo Lian had already sat up, with her thin shirt open and her chest half exposed. She reached out and took the water glass from Zhu Chuan. Zhu Chuan knelt down and put on his shoes.

"Your Majesty asked someone to question me yesterday?" Huo Lian asked.

Zhu Chuan responded: "But I didn't say anything."

Huo Lian drank the water in one gulp: "I don't want to say anything, but I just don't like it anymore. I'll go to court today."

If you take a quick look at it, you will know which one is in your Majesty's eyes.

He got rid of it for the emperor.

Zhu Chuan responded, took Huo Lian's court uniform, and said: "Also, Zhang Yuan of Jingzhao Mansion is still tracking down the Mo disciple who killed Liu Xiucai, but he has no idea how to start. Liu Yan persuaded him to come to the governor for your advice.

"

Huo Lian snorted, put down her tea cup and stood up: "It's really hard to catch Mo Tu."

"In order to avoid trouble, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion finally concluded that the tenant's wife paid for the murder and did not identify the murderer." Zhu Chuan said, snorting again, "Obviously the governor told them that it was a Mo disciple, but there was only this Zhang Yuan

Still investigating.”

"I only pointed out the identity of the murderer. I did not catch the murderer for them. There is no evidence to prove the identity of the murderer. They cannot identify him as a Mo disciple based on my words alone. That would be against the rules." Huo Lian said.

Zhu Chuan curled his lips and said, "It's better for them to do less than to do more. They find it troublesome."

While talking, he took off the court clothes from the hanger and put them on Huo Lian layer by layer.

When Huo Lian was Liang Bazi, Zhu Chuan was just a horse boy and was not qualified to serve and dress Huo Lian. Now that he can do so, he feels extremely happy.

Zhang Yuan felt that he had slept standing up, and the surroundings suddenly became noisy. He seemed to wake up from a big dream, watching the sky getting brighter, and saw people appearing in the originally empty courtyard, which looked like a ghost.

There were soldiers, guards, and officials, running back and forth.

Although the Ducha Division is scary, its structure is the same as other government offices, with officials and officials and various documents coming and going.

But Zhang Yuan stood here, and people coming and going couldn't seem to see him.

After a while, it became even more noisy, with officials walking in a hurry: "The governor is here." "The governor is going to court today."

Zhang Yuan suddenly stood up straight. It was a dark night, and the morning light in his blurry vision was like the sun falling. The golden light was too bright to look directly at. He could only squint and barely see the young man walking over.

Du Cha Si's court uniform is very beautiful. It is said that Huo Lian requested it from the emperor, saying that everyone said that Huo Lian was shady and like a ghost, but I wanted everyone to see it and look glamorous wherever I went.

So the emperor gave him the most gorgeous court clothes that had ever been seen before.

"Captain Huo!" Zhang Yuan narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to salute, "Zhang Yuan of Jingzhao Mansion wants to see you."

Huo Lian did not ignore him or let the soldiers beat him away. Instead, she stopped and said, "What do you want to ask about Tutu Mo?"

That Zhu Chuan didn't just make things difficult for him, he also conveyed the request. Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Dudu Huo pointed out the origin of the murderer at Dali Temple that day, but I traced it for several days and found nothing, so I had to come back and ask the Dudu again. Can Dudu Huo know that it is them?"

Anyone who does this must know their characteristics."

Huo Lian looked at him and asked, "Then what benefit do you give me?"

Benefits? Zhang Yuan was stunned, is this a public request for gifts?

It's not surprising that Huo Lian is greedy for money, this is normal.

He subconsciously touched his body. He didn't have much money.

"If necessary." Zhang Yuanyi gritted his teeth, "Our prison in Jingzhao Mansion can also be used by Governor Huo."

Huo Lian laughed.

His laughter is very pleasant, and his eyes sparkle when he laughs.

But his smile was short and fleeting.

"Okay." Huo Lian said, "Whether what I said is useful or not, but I said it, I will help you. Don't regret it. I can use the prison in Jingzhao Mansion as I please."

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that even if he didn't promise, Governor Huo wanted to use it, how dare Fu Yin say no?

But then the governor would have an excuse to scold him half to death and take it out on him.

"Those people..." Huo Lian looked at him and said, "Wear straw sandals."

In the morning light, dewdrops covered the grass on Xinghua Mountain.

The bamboo stick swept across and fell like rain.

The bamboo stick did not move forward, but was gently paused and inserted next to a rock.

The feet he was wearing straw sandals stepped on the stones.

Qixing leaned over and tied up the straw sandals. Instead of retracting his feet, he took advantage of his strength and jumped. He pulled out the bamboo stick and flew through the forest as lightly as a flying swallow and as sharp as a flying sword. Wherever he passed, the vegetation shook and broke.
