Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

Shi Fang only felt his stomach churn, he was even a little dizzy for a while, and he almost couldn't stand upright.

Fortunately, Shi Jiu was always by his side, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, his eyes full of worry.

"Brother, if you don't feel well, let's go, don't watch." Shi Jiu said.

In her opinion, after all, Shifang has practiced all year round, and seeing such a scene will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Shi Fang shook his head when he heard the words, he glanced at the corpses on the ground again, and said to Shi Jiu: "I want to chant sutras for them."

Although he had not formally become a monk, he could not help feeling compassionate when he saw such a situation.Now that there are no other monks in this place for a while, he wants to personally chant scriptures for these sixteen people to comfort the souls of the dead.

It's just that at this time, there are too many people, and Shifang doesn't want to take risks.

In case the identity is revealed or someone becomes suspicious, there will definitely be trouble in the future.

"Why don't you wait and find a suitable time to chant sutras for them, okay?" Shi Jiu asked in a low voice.

Shi Fang nodded, obviously having the same intention.

At the same time, the two leading officers and soldiers avoided the crowd and had a private discussion. When they came back, they called everyone to go back to the yamen together.

"Then what about the corpses of these people?" asked the bragging person earlier.

"Don't worry, we will deal with this on our own, and we must give you an explanation." The officer and soldier said to him very politely: "It's getting dark now, and everyone is tired enough this day, follow me It's important to go to the government office to wash up first, and then have a meal."

Although everyone was in a very low mood, they were really tired this day, and they were already exhausted.

What's more, this matter involved dozens of lives, and it must be handed over to the Yamen to deal with it. They should not intervene in the next matter.

Seeing that everyone was moved, the officers and soldiers immediately said: "Let's leave quickly, the gate of the city should be closed if it is later."

After he finished speaking, he called everyone to leave, but the speechless person still stood beside the corpse unmoved.

Although everyone didn't know the relationship between him and those who died, they should be quite close.So many close people around that person died all of a sudden, it would be difficult for anyone to change him for a while.

"You don't have to worry, I will take you back to the yamen, and the rest of the brothers will stay here to deal with the aftermath." The officer said again.

Everyone was relieved when they heard the words, and before leaving, they wanted to comfort the man, but they didn't know what to say, so they had to follow the officers and soldiers into the city.

It was already dark when they entered the city, and the officers and soldiers led the crowd directly to the government office.

Shifang and Shijiu hesitated at first whether to follow them, but considering that it was already dark and it was too late to find a place to stay, they might as well follow everyone first, so that they could inquire about the progress of the matter then.Suddenly something like this happened, and so many people died, there should be an explanation.

In the inn in the city, Li Yi and others had just settled down.

Before nightfall today, they entered the city with the owner of the tea stall.

After Mu Ting reported to Shifang and the others today, he did not return immediately to look for Li Yi, but followed secretly, and did not leave until he confirmed that Shifang had entered the government office safely.

Following the code left by Yan Changsheng, he quickly found the inn where Li Yi and the others were staying, and then reported to Li Yi what happened in the suburbs today, and everyone was very surprised when they heard the news.It's not a trivial matter for such a small place to suddenly die, and more than a dozen people are involved at once.

"Why do people from the government place them in the government office?" Li Yi was puzzled.

"The subordinates don't know." Mu Ting said, "But the officers and soldiers seem to treat them quite politely, so I think they won't be neglected."

Huo Yansheng said: "Maybe it's because they have contributed to today's matter, so they arranged it like this?"

Li Yi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where's the corpse?"

"The subordinates have been following Master Shifang. They came to the inn after returning from the Yamen, and did not go back to look at the corpse." Mu Ting said: "However, before the officers and soldiers left, they left a lot of people there, and they should be able to deal with the aftermath."

Li Yi got up and paced around the house, looking a little anxious.

He walked to the window and looked at the night outside, feeling very uneasy in his heart.

Intuition told him that this matter might be more complicated than he imagined, and he didn't want Shifang to get involved.

But then again, as long as Shifang is away from home, he will always be involved in such and such things, and Li Yi knows this better than anyone else.He also knew in his heart that most of his uneasiness was caused by concern.

Li Yi had seen Shi Jiu's kung fu before, and the opponent's kung fu was not inferior to his, and it was more than enough to protect Shi Fang.

Before leaving, Li Yi also repeatedly confirmed to Chu Yunfeng that Shi Jiu was worthy of entrustment, and there was no need to worry that she would betray Shi Fang.

In addition, Shifang also changed his appearance, and it was impossible to be recognized by others.

No matter from which point of view, ten directions are safe.

But even so, Li Yi was still uneasy.

Probably as long as people are not under his nose, he will not be able to feel at ease in his life.

"From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to follow me, go and watch the government office." Li Yi listened to Mu after a while.

"Yes." Mu Ting hurriedly responded.

Huo Yansheng asked: "My lord, do we want to intervene in this matter?"

"No need." Li Yi said: "The yamen has its own regulations, let them do it, unless..."

Unless it doesn't work well, that's another story.

After a while, Yan Changsheng also came back.

He carried a lot of dim sum in his hand to eat, as if he had just been to a dim sum shop.

"My lord, I have asked around the city. There is nothing important in the city these days. It seems that some things like sweeping have been arranged because the capital is coming. I see that the shops on the street have been ordered to post A new couplet was added, and even the inn we stayed in was asked to have a new look." Yan Changsheng said.

Huo Yansheng heard the words and said: "It's not the first time I've heard of this kind of thing. The capital sent people down to inspect various places. It's reasonable for them to make some preparations. But just for the purpose of cleaning the city, the city gate was specially closed to prevent it from coming in." People come in, isn't it a bit too exciting to mobilize the crowd?"

"This place is a small county town. In the past, the inspectors sent by the capital usually went straight to the higher-level state capital, and they would not come to such a small place every time." Yan Changsheng said: "Probably because of this , so they pay more attention to it."

Li Yi didn't say anything after hearing the words, but his expression never relaxed.

On the other side, after Shifang and others were brought to the government office, the braggart was called away alone.

He followed the officers and soldiers who sent the message to a certain place, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a table of banquets in the house, and there were already people waiting there during the banquet.

"This is Mr. Zhang, the county magistrate of our Dingfu County." The master standing next to him said to him.

That man was not from the city, and he wanted to go to the city today to seek relatives, so it was the first time he saw the county magistrate here, and he couldn't help being a little excited, so he hurriedly reported his family name to the other party respectfully: "The name of the grassroots is Chen Xingwang, meet Master Zhang."

Seeing this, the county magistrate surnamed Zhang hurriedly helped Chen Xingwang up, and exchanged a few words with him.

Chen Xingwang didn't understand why, so he sat in the banquet in a daze, and he had already drunk several glasses of wine before he figured out what was going on.

"I heard that you are acquainted with His Highness the Crown Prince?" County Magistrate Zhang asked him.

"Haha..." Chen Xingwang said, "We've met before, so we're not too familiar."

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of a country, and he manages a lot of opportunities every day. If you can meet him, you must be an ordinary person?" County Magistrate Zhang said again.

"That's not true. I'm just a hunting hunter. What's unusual?" Chen Xingwang said.

Suspiciousness flashed across the face of County Magistrate Zhang upon hearing the words, and he asked, "Your Excellency, you made a special trip to the capital for hunting?"

"In the past two years, I have been traveling with fur dealers for half a year, and only then did I have the opportunity to go to the capital once." Chen Xingwang said.

After hearing the words, County Magistrate Zhang asked again: "Then how did you, a fur seller, get to know His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Ah?" Chen Xingwang couldn't drink enough, he was a little drunk at the moment, and said, "Hehe...well...hehe..."

His embarrassment had already betrayed him. Even if County Magistrate Zhang was not smart, he was not a fool, so how could he not see it.

Magistrate Zhang glanced at the master next to him, and the two exchanged glances.

Shifang and the others were waiting in the hall, but they were taken away before they could react.

The attitude of the person who took them away this time was not as respectful as before, and even a little fierce.

Everyone didn't know what happened, and when they realized it, they had already been put in prison.

"What did we do wrong? Why should we be shut down?" Someone said angrily.

"That's right, speak clearly before leaving!" the person next to him said.

Shifang and Shijiu looked at each other with complicated expressions.

This matter is obviously related to those corpses, but these officers and soldiers took people without asking indiscriminately, which is somewhat too hasty.

Until a moment later, the bragging person, that is, Chen Xingwang, was taken by the officers and soldiers and put into the cell.

Everyone looked at Chen Xingwang, but before they could react, Shifang sensed the crux of the matter first...

"They took you there, but they asked about His Royal Highness?" Shi Fang asked.

Chen Xingwang drank two cups, he was a little dazed at first, but after hearing this, he regained consciousness a little, and said, "Master Zhang was very affectionate to me at first, but after asking me a few words, he suddenly turned his back on him!"

This Chen Xingwang has a simple mind, and some of them have not recovered from the prison.

But when Shifang heard the words, he probably guessed...

The fact that Chen Xingwang met the crown prince was originally used by this person to brag about. Today, Shifang "made use of the topic" to mention this matter in front of the officers and soldiers.Originally, he just wanted to warn the officers and soldiers to restrain themselves, but he didn't expect them to take this matter so seriously.

As a result, Chen Xingwang missed the trap as soon as he was asked.

In a fit of rage, the county magistrate simply put them all in jail.

"Isn't it a bit too much to send us all to prison just because of this matter?" Shi Jiu said.

The people next to them were also resentful, because they were already exhausted today, and they did not expect to end up in such a situation after a busy day. Anyone who encountered such a thing would probably find it hard to accept.

Shi Fang thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid there is something hidden in this matter that we don't know about."

As for the secret...it must have something to do with those corpses today.

within the county government.

After Chen Xingwang was taken away, County Magistrate Zhang didn't even bother to eat, and a table of noodles was just left there to dry.

Today's incident came suddenly, and he was obviously not prepared.At first, when he heard that Chen Xingwang was close to the prince, he was quite apprehensive, secretly thinking that this matter must not be hidden, after all, there is someone from the prince.

Unexpectedly, after a little probing, he found that Chen Xingwang was a liar.

Such a county magistrate is relieved!

"My lord, they came to report just now, saying that the body has been found and buried, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." The master on the side said.

Magistrate Zhang frowned and asked, "Where's the dumb one?"

"That man has also been brought back. Someone is guarding him. Don't worry about him going out to make a statement." The master said: "Besides, this person can't speak and can't read. Even if he is released in the future, he won't be able to say anything."

County Magistrate Zhang sighed when he heard the words, and said, "How could such a thing happen? It's really bad luck at this juncture!"

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so there is nothing serious." The master said, "As long as we are careful, there will be no problems."

County magistrate Zhang asked again: "Those who know about this matter today must take care of them."

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates will directly send them to the prison, and none of them will be able to escape." The master said.

"Isn't it appropriate to go to prison? After all, they didn't do anything wrong." County Magistrate Zhang said.

"It's just a bunch of troublemakers who have never seen the world. After the distinguished guests from the capital have left, let them out again." The master said: "At that time, give them some benefits, and then warn them. I will do both kindness and power. Dare to pester endlessly."

The county magistrate Zhang seemed to be hesitant when he heard the words, and the master said again: "Our county government is not a place to lock people up. The safest place in the whole city is the prison. If it is locked elsewhere, in case the distinguished guests from the capital bump into us accidentally Come on, isn't it troublesome?"

This county magistrate is nearly fifty this year, and the inside is just a straw bag, which was donated by the official with money a few years ago.Fortunately, there is no major event in this county, and with the support of the master, even though he is a fool, he has not made any major mistakes these years.Now seeing that the capital is about to come to inspect, unexpectedly such a thing happened. Today, the county magistrate was half scared out of his wits.

"That's the reason, then let's lock him in the prison first." County magistrate Zhang said, as a final decision on the matter.

As long as he is lucky enough, there should be no flaws in this matter.

It's just that he has calculated thousands of times, and he never thought that among the people locked up by him, there is Shifang...

This Dingfu County is not too big, but the county town is quite lively.

After Li Yi left the capital, he had traveled a lot, but he was so busy that he hardly had time to stop and take a good look. Today, he had time to walk around the city.

"This is what Yan Changsheng mentioned last night." Li Yi stood at the door of several shops, and sure enough, the fronts of the shops had been replaced with new ones.It's just that the shop has obviously been open for a long time, and it is impossible to spend a lot of time to renovate it as a whole. It will look very abrupt if only the front face is refurbished.

Huo Yansheng laughed and said: "His Royal Highness made a special suggestion to His Majesty a few years ago, saying that in order to prevent the local government from making superficial efforts to deal with inspections, in case of such a thing, not only will the evaluation not be improved, but the political performance will be deducted. "

"It's self-defeating, but it can also make people remember." Li Yi sneered.

The official inspection of the banquet dynasty is very mysterious.In order to prevent people from rushing, the imperial court will not announce the specific inspection details every year. In other words, it is useless to clean the streets. People may not care about whether your streets are not clean this year.

This Dingfu County is a typical example of not using the right energy and causing a lot of trouble.

Li Yi passed by a wonton stand, walked over to sit at a small table, and asked for a few bowls of wonton.

"Life in this small town is quite comfortable, not worse than ours at all." Yan Changsheng said with emotion.

"That's not necessarily the case." Huo Yansheng said: "Don't just look at the surface and think it's good. If you don't believe me, ask the people here."

Yan Changsheng immediately called the waiter at the wonton stall and asked, "Little brother, if someone asks you to leave this Dingfu County to sell wontons in the capital, would you like to go?"

"I'm staying here well, why go to the capital?" The man laughed and said, "Don't underestimate our Dingfu County. I don't want to leave, maybe people from the capital are not willing to go back?"

"How could people in the capital like to stay here?" Huo Yan asked.

"Why is it impossible?" the guy said: "Before we had guys from Dazhou Capital! Dazhou Capital is also a capital city, so it should be good, so it's not that some people would rather choose our place than go back."

Li Yi frowned when he heard the words, and asked, "Is there a lot of people in Dazhou in Dingfu County?"

"It's not too much. The imperial court hasn't prevented the people of Dazhou from communicating with us these years..." The man said halfway, when he saw the officers and soldiers patrolling the city not far away, he immediately retracted his words and said: "Everyone slow down , I will go to work first."

Although the relationship between Dayan and Dazhou has been tense these years, the border between the two countries is open.

People can come and go freely if they have customs clearance documents, and merchants can also sell goods freely.

Such a situation is naturally a good thing for the people, because both sides can exchange goods that are not available in their own countries.

But another problem it caused was that the detailed work arranged by Da Zhou was mixed among the common people and it was difficult to distinguish.

It is precisely for this reason that the Empress recently had the idea of ​​​​blocking the border of the Great Zhou.

However, there is no conclusion on this matter, just because everything has advantages and disadvantages, no matter which side you choose, you will definitely lose the interests of the other side.

"My lord, do you still eat these wontons?" Huo Yansheng asked Li Yi when he saw that Li Yi was frowning and remained silent.

Li Yi nodded, and asked, "I spent money to buy it, why don't you eat it?"

Huo Yansheng didn't dare to answer.

He thought that Li Yi lost his appetite when he heard that "people from the Great Zhou" felt bad luck?

It doesn't seem to be the case now.

As soon as everyone left the stall after eating the wontons, they saw Mu Ting rushing over.

When Li Yi saw Mu Ting, his heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.

"My lord, after I went back to the government office last night, I found that Master Shifang and others were not in there." Mu Ting said to Li Yi: "Later I searched around and found that they were locked in a prison."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

"How could Hao Duanduan be put in prison?" Huo Yansheng said angrily.

"I haven't found out the reason for being locked up yet." Mu Ting said, "But I think it's not appropriate to delay this matter. After confirming that the person is in the prison, I will first come and tell the young master."

There was an undisguised chill on Li Yi's face, but his expression looked calmer than Huo Yansheng and Yan Changsheng.

"You haven't been treated harshly, have you?" Li Yi asked.

"Probably not, they are just locking people up now." Mu Ting said.

Li Yi was silent for a while after hearing the words, as if he was thinking about something.

Huo Yansheng looked at Li Yi nervously from the side, guessing that His Highness the Crown Prince would probably directly reveal his identity this time and go to the prison to find someone.

Unexpectedly, after a long while, I heard Li Yi listening to Mu: "Keep watching. If they dare to act recklessly, you can act cheaply. As for the consequences, you don't have to worry about them. Someone will take care of them for you."

Mu heard the words and left.

Huo Yansheng was quite puzzled, and said, "My lord, don't we go and rescue him?"

Li Yi's eyes narrowed, and he said, "People need to be saved, but they have to change their identities first."

"Aren't we already..." Huo Yansheng looked puzzled, obviously not understanding the meaning of Li Yi's words.

They have already changed their appearance, so why change their identities?

An hour later.

County magistrate Zhang received a report from the officers and soldiers guarding the city, saying that people from the capital had arrived at the gate of the city.

"Why so fast? Didn't you say you have to wait for a few days?" County magistrate Zhang was busy changing clothes, and led people out in a panic. He walked towards the outside of the government office and asked, "Where is the person? "

The officers and soldiers who came to report said: "Didn't you order that no one should be allowed to enter the city these few days? The subordinates dare not make their own decisions... People... people are still at the gate of the city!"

"Trash!" Magistrate Zhang was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Who is here?"

"They are the doormen of the Eastern Palace. One is Yan Changsheng, the other is Li Chuan, and the other is a general named Huo... Huo..." The officers and soldiers forgot Huo Yansheng's name during their journey, "Huo" for a long time without thinking stand up.

In the prison.

Shifang and the others were locked up overnight without even getting a meal.

They were tired all day yesterday, their bodies were covered in mud, and they didn't even take a bath, and now they were hungry all night, and they all looked a little depressed.

At this moment, the cell boss walked over quickly and stepped forward to open the cell door.

Everyone was at a loss, not knowing what was waiting for them.

If it were an ordinary person who suddenly suffered such an indiscriminate disaster, he would most likely make a fuss.But what Shifang and the others experienced yesterday was too shocking, and the series of encounters later left them with no extra energy to make trouble.

Now he is so hungry that his chest sticks to his back, and he has no other thoughts.

"Could it be beheading?" Chen Xingwang said.

Someone next to him said: "If there is no decapitation, it should not be beheading."

The head of the cell took a look at the crowd and asked, "Which one is Mr. Chen Xingwang?"

Chen Xingwang was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Why are you looking for me again? You don't want to invite me to dinner again, do you?"

At this time, an officer and soldier following the cell leader explained: "Young Master Chen, the adults who came to inspect the East Palace have arrived in Dingfu County today. The people around His Royal Highness confirmed that you are indeed familiar with His Royal Highness. Master Zhang specially Tell me to come and pick you up."

Chen Xingwang was shocked: "What East Palace... what familiarity?"

He hadn't recovered yet, but everyone around him looked at him with envious eyes.

"Old Chen, go out and don't forget to fish us out too!"

"The people of His Royal Highness are here to support you! It seems that the friendship is really good..."

Chen Xingwang: ...

what happened? ? ?

Shi Fang and Shi Jiu in the corner looked at each other, their expressions were very "wonderful".

The author has something to say: Chen Xingwang: Although I don't know what happened, I was shocked! ! ! !
