go away!Don't attack me!

Xiaodongshan is only [-] miles away from the capital, and the transportation is convenient, the carriage runs faster, and it takes more than half an hour to arrive.

This time Yun Qi only took Yiqing, Erqing and the coachman with him. Along the way, he asked the two "little servants" what delicious and interesting things there are in the capital, and he planned to buy them back for the little monks at home.

So Yiqing and Erqing talked about the most famous snacks and dim sum in the capital, the Sichuan restaurant with the best taste, the Qinlou Chu restaurant with the most beautiful singing and dancing, the storyteller with the worst mouth, and the escort agency with the best reputation...

Then he mentioned the princes and nobles in the capital, they knew that Yunqi didn't like the ups and downs in the officialdom, so they started from the rumors and anecdotes in the streets and alleys, for example, which family's adults are the most fearful of internal affairs, and the grape shelf at home will collapse every now and then Once, which family's Sir likes to buy antiques the most, he is born and ignorant, he was tricked again and again, every time he yelled to buy these crap again, he was a pig, but he couldn't survive for three to five days every time. Reappeared on Curio Row.

Talking without saying a word like this, when he was about to arrive in the capital, the names of those princes and ministers were basically heard in Yun Qi's ears, Er Qing changed his voice, and said something again: "I heard that This morning, His Royal Highness the Third Prince died suddenly."

Yun Qi was slightly stunned, if he remembered correctly, among the people who went to Kudu Temple to offer incense yesterday, there was the name of the third prince, but he didn't see it, but since he was able to go up the mountain in the wind and snow, he should be in good health, why did he suddenly Gone?

Erqing continued: "Your Majesty said that the third prince might be infected with the epidemic, and people would be mourned immediately, and ordered not to go to the house to worship, and even the whole third prince's mansion was temporarily sealed, saying that it would be inspected. Is anyone infected? For fear of causing panic, we have to wait a few days until we confirm that there is no epidemic before we inform the people of the Third Prince's death."

Of the twelve sons of the emperor, only eleven remain.

Yun Qi nodded slightly, hearing the news of the death of the person he had contact with yesterday, he always felt a little strange.

Just about to hear the next piece of news, Yiqing interjected: "I heard that this morning, two officials escorted a young man named Cao Rui out of the city. The prisoner named Cao Rui looks quite similar to the third prince Liu Rui..."

The words were so clear that it was difficult for Yun Qi not to understand, he asked, "When did the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince come back?"

One Qing and two Qing looked at each other, with a little surprise in their eyes.

They took the initiative to tell Yun Qi such a secret, naturally because Yun Qi had something to do with this matter, who knew that before he had time to explain, Yun Qi had already figured out this point.

Yiqing replied in a respectful voice, "Go to the city early in the morning."

Entering the city in the early morning, the emperor let the third prince "suddenly die" in the morning, sealed off the prince's mansion, and reassigned the prince to the frontier... Yun Qi originally thought that after the two brought the criminals into Beijing, there would be a long lawsuit to be fought, But I don't want to say that today's emperor dealt with it so quickly and decisively. Should I say that His Majesty is vigorous and resolute, or should I say that he is indifferent?

Although dozens of lives are at stake, "the prince commits the same crime as the common people" is a joke. When Yun Qi thinks about it, the most likely result is that the people around the prince will be cleaned up, and he himself will be wiped out. After being severely reprimanded, he completely lost the possibility of inheriting the great power, and then he was grounded or placed under house arrest for a period of time.

Now the emperor completely stripped him of his status as a prince and sent him to the border alone, which was beyond Yun Qi's expectations.

Thinking of this His Royal Highness, who is used to doing whatever he wants, his status has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, and he has become the most humble military supporter. He went to the border village to wash clothes, cook and farm by himself, and even be forced to work as a coolie. Yun Qi's mood immediately improved. After a few minutes, I suddenly became curious as to what kind of person His Majesty the Emperor is.

He was also surprised that the news about these "little servants" of him was a bit too well-informed.

This kind of secret, I am afraid that even civil and military officials, princes and princesses may not be clear about it. They are outside the city, but they already know everything.

The carriage entered the city and stopped at a street.

"It's here."

Yun Qi handed Qing Yi the note with all kinds of snacks and snacks recorded along the way, and took out a bank note to him, saying: "You guys take the carriage, go and buy all the things on it, and then come back to me. "

Qing Yidao: "You can do these things alone, son, I..."

Yun Qi interrupted: "For the matter here, I can go alone."

After speaking, he turned around and jumped off the carriage, and left without looking back.

……

"Yixiaolou" is the largest and busiest teahouse in Beijing, but it is not the most expensive and best teahouse: the place is big, but the environment is not very good, there is a lot of tea, but the taste is not very good, the flow of people is large, but the people who come and go are all Bitter haha.

But regardless of whether the boss earns money or not, at least this place is popular enough, no matter when you come, it is always lively.

At the bottom of "Yixiao Building" is the lobby, which is packed with dozens of tables of guests, and there is a small table against the wall. Occasionally, there are storytellers and singers, who will come to it for a while to earn some tea money.

The environment upstairs is a bit better, not as noisy as downstairs, the seats are spacious, and there are even a few private rooms.

But the so-called private rooms are just a few seats leaning on the railings, separated by wooden boards, so that they will not be disturbed by the people around, and you can see the scene downstairs when you turn your head, which does not hinder listening to books and music. Son.

In the farthest private room on the second floor, two men in their 40s and [-]s were sitting at the moment. Their clothes were not eye-catching, but their demeanor was incompatible with the atmosphere of this teahouse.

The older man was about forty years old, tall and handsome, with a short beard on his lips, sharp eyes, and an invisible majesty spread from the light of his eyes, which made people frightened.

He was already considered a rare handsome man in the world, but he was sitting with the man who looked a little younger. From the appearance alone, he couldn't see anything outstanding, because the man sitting opposite him had a Zhang has a face that is enough to make most men and women in the world feel ashamed, and his temperament is even more dusty.

The handsome man was very happy listening to the words such as "talented woman, soap, lard" outside the private room, and directly threw half of the orange in his hand into his mouth, chewed a few times and spit out a lot of seeds .

Seeing the person on the opposite side glance at him, the handsome middle-aged man glanced back unceremoniously, and said, "What's the matter? My son and daughter are not up to date, why don't you let me have some fun on my own? Lard talented girl... Puhaha... Talented Lard girl... this title..."

He couldn't help laughing "Hang Chi Han Chi" a few times, and said: "Tell me, why do I feel that even the 'when will the moon be there' has a greasy smell?"

Seeing the person across from him drinking tea with his head bowed, he had no intention of flattering him at all, so the man had to stop himself, put his hands on the table, and while peeling the oranges, he said: "To me, soap is better than the song 'When is the moon?" There's something even better.

"Even I panicked on behalf of that girl. She obviously made the best things, but she turned out to be like a street rat. If the soap shop wasn't run by Ping'er, I'm afraid it would be given to people right now." It's smashed."

He threw another half of an orange into his mouth, and said, "I said, Yunqing, you have used that thing before... It's a good thing, right? Even if it's made with lard, what does it matter? No Not fishy or stinky."

"Yun Qing" put down the teacup and said, "Is it wrong to sell meat buns?"

The man squinted at him, raised his eyebrows, and said nothing.

"Yun Qing" leaned on the back of the chair, looking very imageless, but he exuded a deadly laziness, and said lazily: "Selling meat buns is certainly not wrong, but selling meat buns as vegetarian buns It would be wrong to give it to the monk. If the monk was found eating the steamed stuffed bun, he would not even be able to become a monk, so we can’t blame others for coming back to set up his stall, right?”

There was nothing to argue about this matter, the man just talked casually, and said: "Compared to whether the little girl was wronged or not, I am actually more curious about how that kid named Yun Qi saw that they used The one who put that thing in the soap in the bath? Could it be that he is really a good person?"

Hearing the word Yun Qi, "Yun Qing" inadvertently drew a smile on her lips, and said leisurely: "Perhaps...that is a little liar talking nonsense?"

"Huh?" The man turned back suspiciously, squinting his eyes and looked at him: "It sounds like you really like that... um, little liar?"

"Yun Qing" lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "The son of an old friend."

The man was immediately interested, and asked repeatedly, but unfortunately the other party ignored him, so he had to give up, lifted the teapot and filled it up for "Yun Qing", and said, "I haven't thanked you this time, if you hadn't helped me get those two boys Bring it back, maybe today I will lose three sons at once."

"It's just on the way."

The man said: "Those two are not bad, the way to lure a thief into the urn is not bad, but it's a pity that they misjudged their third brother's brains, if it wasn't for you who went to meet them... the consequences are unpredictable!

"You said the third one is the same, why are you so stupid? Killing people to silence people, and making such a big commotion, do you really think that others are deaf and blind? Since you have the ability to mobilize the army, then just point your sword at the capital. I'm fine." He has a clear purpose."

"Yun Qing" glanced at him, but didn't speak.

Pointing at the capital?That's crazy.

The man sighed again, with a rather sad voice, and said: "It's freezing cold, I heard that the youngest son was stripped of his jacket and shoes by those two servants not long after he left the city, I don't know if it can be done Live to the border."

"Yun Qing" said: "Since your heart is distressed, you can call him back."

The man said lightly: "In my heart, he is already a dead person. After hearing my words, he knelt down and yelled, begging me to grant him a death, begging me to give him some dignity... If he is really so If you have a backbone, you shouldn't leave the prince's mansion alive.

"One of them was killed to keep the others. I have twelve sons, and I always want to use one of them to make an example to others, so that they can understand my bottom line.

"It's not wrong to compete for family property. I have also fought for it. It depends on who has the best means. Win or lose is life and death. Just one thing, don't toss me about the family!"

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of those 24 lives.

It is their ability to coax those with knives and guns to work for them, but those honest and responsible people are the foundation of the great potential. Now they are treated as worthless, and they will be paid back in the future?

"Yun Qing" was noncommittal to his words, and looked down quietly at the leaves in the teacup rising and falling: she spoke so righteously, but her heart was as hard as a stone, and she didn't have much blood and family affection for his third son.

The man was very bored, and suddenly found that the downstairs was suddenly quiet for some reason, and couldn't help but poked his head to take a look, and was stunned: "Ha, Gu Yunqing, look, this little guy has some of your demeanor back then! "
