Si Tian Guan

Chapter 212 The Yellow Book

The blood-stained tree was dug up three feet from the ground, and the roots were completely removed. Several peach trees were planted in the yard.

Peach blossoms in March bloom early and wither quickly, but after being confined at home for a few days, you can watch the flower buds bloom from blooming to withering.

Qu Shenzhou was lying on his back in the grand teacher's chair, the flower branches were swayed by the breeze, and the mottled shadows flickered in front of his eyes.

This seemed like an opportunity to steal half a day's leisure, but he was a little confused and didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery in spring.

Now being grounded at home was something he hadn't expected before, and he even regretted it - he has endured so many grievances, why can't he grit his teeth and endure it, and simply follow the emperor's will to recognize him.

But he knew that this was just thinking about it, no matter how many times he stood in front of those two people, he still couldn't convince himself.

They can only wait for the result in this narrow wall.

Liu Chongming was very busy before, now not only without his assistance and cooperation, but also busy with his affairs, he can only occasionally send someone to deliver letters to him, but he has not been able to see anyone.

Since King Huai already knew about their relationship, he must keep a close eye on this place. Even with that secret passage, it would not be so easy to meet each other.

There were footsteps coming around from the vertical flower door, and he stood not far away, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

He was familiar with the voice, squinted his eyes and said, "Boss Lin."

Steward Lin stepped forward quickly, as if he was still afraid of disturbing him, he responded softly: "Shen Zhou, why don't you go and sleep for a while while you have time?"

"It's okay, I can't sleep." He got up with his cloak folded, and led them to the study room. He only stretched out his hand after seeing Steward Lin close the door.

Steward Lin always only sent messages in the middle, as for what he sent, he didn't know, but seeing Qu Shenzhou's brows getting tighter and tighter, he couldn't help asking with concern: "Shen Zhou, is there something wrong? "

Qu Chenzhou smiled: "It's okay."

Steward Lin knew his habits, so he stood by the desk for a while, and only quietly left when he saw him waving his hands.

There is no hexagram.

Qu Chenzhou lay back on the chair and covered his face with the letter.

There are very few people he can meet now, and he dare not try to instigate the emperor on the cusp of this storm. Even Guanshi Lin has nothing to say, so he really can't help him.

Although it is not a day or two to be confined in a square inch, it is the first time to waste time like this. He walked back and forth in the study for a few times, but he couldn't help but go back to the bedroom and flipped the switch. .

Qu Chenzhou lit the oil lamp on the wall, took out a fine flannel cloth from the side, and before he wiped a few pieces, the ground under him trembled slightly.

"Chongming!"

He threw down the flannel, suppressed his anxiety and excitement, stared at the light that was about to appear, and it was Liu Chongming who was waiting for him at the end of the light.

I haven't seen you for a few days, but my embrace is as warm as ever after several years.

But they also understand that now is not the time to be tender and lingering.

"The letter was delivered just now, why do you have to come here by yourself?"

"I miss you, did you see the news?" Liu Chongming held him in his arms, not willing to let go for a moment, and asked softly in his ear, "What about Concubine Yu?"

"I see, thanks to my sister and Concubine Xian," Qu Chenzhou stroked their hair with his hands, and sighed softly: "We have to hurry up, is Zhiwei okay?"

Liu Chongming rested his head on his neck, half-closed his eyes, as if he was so tired that he was about to fall asleep.

"Talk to him a little bit every day during this time, and he gradually became less afraid. Now it's time to wait for the medical examination by the Internal Affairs Bureau. Is it possible for Mu Jingyan to let Sanfu go?"

"Impossible. With what happened before the second uncle, even if we know the origin of the three blessings, we can't produce any evidence. If we stab the emperor in front of him, it will be nothing more than a warning, and it will be of no benefit at all. Mu Jingyan If it is superfluous, I will be afraid of what excuses will be made in the future."

Liu Chongming also agreed with his opinion, but he got an affirmative answer, which made him feel more at ease.

"It's good that he can go. I'll arrange the next thing. Mu Jingyan doesn't know Zhiwei yet, so we can be regarded as taking the lead."

"Chongming," Qu Chenzhou hesitated, but still asked: "Has Fang Wuyang come back? If he hasn't come back, can I ask my elder brother to take me to Chaoyang Palace at night..."

"Entering the palace is not difficult, the difficult thing is not to alarm Mu Jingyan, I will let Shi Yan find a chance, don't worry."

Liu Chongming bit his ear: "Take it as if I never thought about it, but how could Mu Jingyan not have thought that Chaoyang Palace is strictly guarded, and he went there recklessly, and let him catch you, and it fell right into his arms." .”

Qu Chenzhou had nothing to say, he had basically been exposed to King Huai now, so he really shouldn't act rashly.

"Fang Wuyang hasn't returned to Beijing yet, but he's already on his way back, probably in the past few days."

His heart moved: "Where is Wu'an Mansion?"

"Yes, it's already settled." Liu Chongming didn't want to make him feel too guilty, and simply said: "Whether he wins or not over there is nothing to Mu Jingyan, and he doesn't need much effort. somewhere else."

It was mentioned in the previous letter, Qu Shenzhou knew where the other places were.

"Chongming, do you still remember that in the past...Mu Jingyan was like this."

"I remember."

In the previous life that they can't forget, in order to put Liu Chongming to death, Mu Jingyan even opened the border, lured wolves into the house, and attacked back and forth, forcing Liu Chongming to allocate half of his troops to defend against foreign enemies.

If it wasn't for Qu Shenzhou's assistance, I'm afraid he would really be cornered.

But this time, after Mu Jingyan realized that they were secretly joining forces, he repeated his old tricks. Now the Bai family army has assembled quickly and is ready to go, and the expedition will only take ten days.

Both Bai Shining and Bai Shilei led troops outside, part of the Beiya side guarded at the Guanshan Pavilion, and part went out to take care of the camp according to the usual practice, if something unexpected happened, they couldn't be mobilized quickly.

Just like they cut off the hope of Shiliting to garrison troops to force the palace, Mu Jingyan also cut off their most deterrent force.

"Mu Jingyan... is really a difficult person."

Even Qu Shenzhou had to admit that in his last life he had been secretly scheming all his life, but the opponent's soldiers came to cover him up, even if the situation was different this time, King Huai still had a way to fight them.

"It's also a cancer of Dayu, if you don't pull it out, you can't do it," Liu Chongming rubbed against him a few times, and reluctantly pushed the person in his arms towards the entrance: "Also, the two children of the Qu family are both It has been found, some shock, no injuries."

He didn't want to describe those people as the little fox's blood relatives, and Qu Chenzhou also understood his kindness, so he hummed lightly.

In this way, the opponent will be more sure of their relationship.

Fortunately, it is impossible for Mu Jingyan to stand up and say that the Qu family was arranged by him. He cannot say that the two children of the Qu family were detained by him. Naturally, he cannot bring these matters before the emperor.

"Go up, I'll come see you when I'm free."

Qu Chenzhou took a few steps forward, then turned around and asked, "How long will it take?"

"You said it as if you were wronged," Liu Chongming rushed to see him off, and asked in his ear, "I haven't seen you much recently, when can we do it again?"

Qu Chenzhou's ears were itchy from the hot air, and he hooked the back of his neck and asked, "Now?"

"Bad fox."

You know you don't have enough time right now.

Qu Chenzhou stepped into the door, saw Liu Chongming waving his hand with his mouth pursed, with an aggrieved expression on his face, he suddenly hooked his fingers at him.

"Chongming has worked hard these days..." The tip of his tongue wetted his lover's earlobe, and he smiled seductively: "Next time, I can let you do whatever you want..."

"What did you say?" Liu Chongming regained his energy and was completely relieved of fatigue.

"Whoever rewards the son will never go back on his word."

The bell jingled twice, and the bell behind Liu Chongming shook, and the two of them looked over at the same time.

"I guess...it should be Fang Wuyang who came back."

It is true that Fang Wuyang came back, and the person Fang Wuyang secretly escorted also came back with the household registration yellow book of Wu'an Mansion, which clearly stated that when the river flooded and broke its embankment, towns including Changshui Town were destroyed. In the wake of the disaster, Wu'an Prefecture and the downstream neighboring prefectures immediately sent people to search and rescue along the road, but unfortunately the number of survivors was limited.

——The corpses of the Qu family members have been found, autopsy conducted, neighbors identified, confirmed to be correct, buried and erected a monument.

——For the sake of caution, those who went to Wu'an Mansion went to the mountains to see the tombstones of the Qu family with their own eyes, and there was no mistake.

Everything that follows will follow its course.

In the eyes of outsiders, such an unexpected accident ended in an unexpected way. It turned out that it was just a shameless thug trying to gain wealth by relying on his similarity with Qu Sitian.

Naturally, the emperor will not insist on it anymore, but he is very annoyed by this - if everyone acts so boldly, wouldn't it cause chaos in the world.

It happened that the man was also in Liu Shizi's hands, so he simply didn't bother the two masters, and directly dragged him to the Jinxiu camp, and the result of the confession was soon obtained.

The person named Qu Zhiye was originally named Xu, because he accidentally heard someone say that Qu Sitian, who was in the holy family in Beijing, was very similar to his wife in appearance, and heard about Qu Sitian's life experience, so he Moved a crooked mind that shouldn't be there.

When everyone thought that these people were bound to die, Qu Chenzhou, who had been imprisoned innocently for several days, knelt in the imperial study.

"Congratulations, Qu Sitian."

He nodded slightly, as a return to Yu Dexi's congratulations, before prostrating: "I implore the emperor to spare the Xu family."

Emperor Yu didn't lift his eyelids: "Why?"

"Although their behavior is bad, according to the laws of Dayu, they are not guilty of death. Please send them to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment, or send them back to Wu'an Mansion, and hand them over to the government office for trial."

"I understand the emperor's sympathy for me, but acting in accordance with the law can teach the people to know the majesty of the law. The emperor's sageness makes Xiaoxiao's generation dare not act rashly."

"Besides, the emperor is in the period of filial piety, and it is not appropriate to see blood. The empress dowager is benevolent, and she probably would not want to see the emperor get angry for his ministers."

Only then did Emperor Yu look up at him, and after a long pause, he asked: "I've always heard people say that you are narrow-minded, so it seems that they have too much prejudice."

Qu Shenzhou lowered his eyes and kowtowed his head: "I am afraid, since my lords have said so, I will be careful to reflect on myself later."

Emperor Yu smiled: "Shen Zhou, those unscrupulous people deceived you to be alone and pretended to be your family, and also caused you to be wronged here. You don't resent them, but plead for them regardless of past suspicions. You are a saint. "

"I dare not..."

Qu Chenzhou's heart skipped a beat, keenly aware of the displeasure in Emperor Yu's words.

Although everyone thinks that this turmoil is over, the unhappiness between the monarch and his ministers is still in harmony.

But he and Chongming knew that the real quarrel was not between Qu Jia and him, but because Qu Shenzhou did not obediently listen to the emperor this time.

Qu Shenzhou, who has always been the emperor's horse head, actually disobeyed the holy will, this is what the emperor can't bear the most.

And Yu Dexi will not let go of this great opportunity, and will definitely fan the flames in it.

"Your Majesty, there are treacherous people who commit treachery and crimes, no matter whether they are against humble ministers or not, there are laws to punish them severely. If the emperor breaks the rules because he feels wronged by humble ministers, how can I bear it?"

Emperor Yu didn't want to bother to say anything about the insignificant human life, so he just casually glanced at Yu Dexi who was standing aside.

"Forget it, I'll follow you, and you don't need to bother to change to Dali Temple. What do you want to do with it, you go directly to the Jinxiu Camp, and say it's what I want, and let Chongming listen to you."

Qu Shenzhou Xie En withdrew.

Yu Dexi stood on the side with his hands down, never saying a word, as if he didn't see what happened in front of him at all, and continued to study the ink carefully as usual.

It wasn't until he went to light the candle beside the case that he heard the old voice speak slowly.

"Yu Dexi, Shen Zhou is young, if you go the wrong way, take a second look."
