Si Chen crowed the rooster to take away the night and exchange for day.

Gu Ruosu's Hefeng Hall, where a hundred flowers were in full bloom, was noisy and bustling. At this moment, the gates of the courtyards were tightly closed, and the slanting wind and drizzle mercilessly beat in the courtyard, making it very desolate and deserted.

The delicate flowers of spring are wiltingly blooming under the windows of Gu Ruosu and Xie Ruqing's house, and the willow branches that have already been dyed tender green are also drooping heavily because of the water. All the scenery at this moment seems to be similar to Xie Ruqing's The mood is similar, heavy and ineffable.

Xie Ruqing, who was guarding the "empty room" alone, heard the sound of rain hitting plantains outside the window, sobered up from the intoxication, felt the coldness of the brocade quilt on her body, watched the incense in the house disappear, and unreasonable melancholy came back to her heart.

"Brown Tang, where is Madam?" Xie Ruqing didn't have time to worry about the cold spring that had been coming for the past few days, so she pushed open the door and said to the empty courtyard.

The next moment, Brown Tang appeared from an unknown corner with a jasmine-patterned white-green oil-paper umbrella, and ran in front of Xie Ruqing, looking up at the bruises on Xie Ruqing's face and the bloodshot eyes, Brown Tang hurriedly said :

"Master, I heard the news. The madam was not taken away by Chu Ci and others. It was Master Gao Fang who came to look for you last night. He happened to meet the madam who climbed over the wall, and just happened to save the madam who fell off the high wall. The madam who was frightened was taken away... I forgot for a moment, and tell my lord, these are the original words sent by Master Gaofang this morning."

"Gao Qi... It's just that he "forgot it for a while". How about Madam? Just ask more. That guy Gao Qi finally managed to coax her out. He must have tried every means to make her happy."

Brown Tang lowered his head and dared not speak.

Although Xie Ruqing was feeling a little apprehensive at the moment, she finally put the heart that was about to jump into her throat back into her body. Fortunately, fortunately, she went to Gao Qi's place, not being taken away by someone else It's okay, it's okay...

"I'm going to go out now, let my wife stay with Gao Qi for a while."

"This...how about, little one...Go and fetch Madam back first?" Brown Tang said cautiously.

"No, I will probably have to wait until dark to come back when I go. Although it is only a few hours, everything will change in an instant.

Don't worry, she stays at home sullenly alone.

Besides, right now, apart from my place, in the entire capital, Gao Qi is the only one who can really protect his wife wholeheartedly and has the ability to protect her safety.

You don't have to look for Madam first, when I come back, I will go and fetch Madam back in person. "

Xie Ruqing spoke for a long time, as if she was explaining to Brown Tang why she couldn't accept Gu Ruosu, and also as if she was trying to overcome her unbearable love and longing...

Xie Ruqing walked back to the house alone, and changed into a purple silk Xiyanhua long dress for herself, and took out a brocade box of sandalwood from under the bed, and took out the Inside was a purple jade hairpin, after a long thought, I finally put it on my head.

Before leaving the door, Xie Ruqing took another "Jasmine" ruby ​​ring from Gu Ruosu's jewelry box, put it in her bosom, and took brown sugar with her, and went up to the public row that had been prepared for a long time at the door. The frame on the front, headed towards the post house where Chu Ci lived.

Besides, at this moment, Chu Ci, who still didn't know that Xie Ruqing was about to swagger, got up early in the morning, and set up a canopy in the courtyard. Under the canopy, there were a deck chair and a small table. There are a lot of delicious wines, vegetables and fruits on the table, and there are two beautiful women beside them, lying on the reclining chair with great interest, watching the Wuhans in front of them holding small leather whips, haha ​​​​the next time They beat a few people who had been tied up under the big pagoda tree for an unknown period of time, and their lips and mouth were dry and their faces were pale.

"Put harder, we adults have always been in pain to grow memory, if we don't use force, adults will not be able to improve memory, you have to be careful of your own flesh and blood." Chu Ci said with a smile He took the big grape in the hand of a girl next to him, and then said casually.

The burly men who heard these words did not take Chu Ci's words as a joke, but immediately got goosebumps all over their bodies, and could no longer care about the "noble" identities of these people tied to the tree , all of them had accumulated enough strength in their hands, and the next moment they were beaten, their skin was torn apart, screaming in pain!
In the air, the smell of blood, which was originally only slightly invisible, immediately turned into an invisible billowing red wave after a while, attacking the people present.

Chu Ci and the two girls beside him didn't feel any discomfort when they smelled such a smell, but they all showed "satisfied" smiles at the same time.

But maybe it was because the scene became more and more bloody, after all, it made the people around couldn't bear to watch it any longer. Just look, a vigorous young man rushed straight out from the post house, and ran to Chu Ci angrily.

Chu Ci raised his head, as if he was the aristocratic man who had the courage to mock Chu Ci in the suburbs a few days ago, Chu Ci changed his posture, hugged a woman in blue in his arms, and said without getting up:
"Little prince, what's the matter, I didn't sleep early in the morning, but I was woken up by these ignorant people, why don't I ask someone to gag their mouths, little prince, go back and sleep again."

The man who was called the little prince by Chu Ci did not give Chu Ci face when he heard the words, but frowned in displeasure, and said rather dissatisfied:
"Chu Ci, what's the matter with you, you dare to use lynching early in the morning, these people are all the ministers of our Nanman, even if their rank is lower than yours.

But now they are all envoys to the Southern Man like you and me!There is no distinction between high and low!
How dare you use lynching behind my uncle's back in a foreign country!

Believe it or not, I will report you to my uncle when I turn around! "

Hearing this, Chu Ci reluctantly restrained his smile, straightened his expression, called the two girls from his body, and said:
"Little prince, are you complaining for them?"

"Hmph, my lord is just telling the truth!"

"Tell the truth, just tell the truth, the little prince still remembers the mistakes these people made."

"This..." The little prince stopped talking for a moment.

It is not a big deal to have a verbal conflict with Dayong's courtiers for no reason, but a few of them have more than succeeded than failed.

It would be even more embarrassing to fight with others while still in full view of the court.

One thing after another, it all damages the prestige of our Nanman country. Your uncle, our Lord, has already given orders that if someone loses someone to the country, he can punish him as I like, no matter what. "Chu Ci finished the long paragraph unhurriedly, and then motioned for the little prince to continue.

"But we don't deserve to die! Master Chu, the lord just asked you to punish us, and didn't let you take our lives! You are disobeying the lord's order!" It turned out that those who were tied to the tree were also Nanmans. Suddenly one of the officials of the mission said loudly.

When the little prince heard what the official said, he hurriedly said: "That's right! My uncle gave you the right to control the whole team, but he didn't give you the right to take their lives! You are going against my uncle's original intention!"

"Use my uncle's words to rule out dissidents and seek selfish desires! You have to remember that even if you are a Nanman national teacher, this Nanman still has the surname of our Duanmu! It belongs to our Duanmu family! It's not yours!" Duanmu Hong was afraid that he would not be able to frighten Chu Ci, so he immediately added with righteous indignation.

Chu Ci heard the words, the smile on his face deepened, he picked up the golden wine glass, took a sip of the wine, stood up, walked in front of Duanmu Hong, and said:

"Eliminate dissidents, the little prince is really serious. I, Chu, don't have such great skills. I, Chu, just do things according to the king's wishes. This Nanman has always been surnamed Duanmu."

That Duanmu Hong wanted to say something, so after Chu Ci finished speaking, he passed him straight, walked up to the group of people who were hanged up and beaten, and motioned to those burly men for the time being stop.

"Two years ago, in the Huiyang coup, the common man Duanmuqi colluded with the governor of Huiyang. When the king was out on a tour of Huiyang, he intended to assassinate the king and ascend to the throne. As a result, the eldest prince died in order to save his father, and nearly ten personal guards As a result of his death, at that time, only the Inner Secret Academy knew about the news that the King was going to visit Huiyang.

As for Lord Bai, he was working in the Inner Secret Academy back then, but, one month before the liquidation of the Inner Secret Academy, Lord Bai happened to be transferred from the Inner Secret Academy and escaped the liquidation.

A few days ago, it has been found out that Master Bai took money from the common man Duanmu and revealed His Majesty's travel itinerary that day, which is a death sentence. "Chu Ci randomly came to an official who was hung up, took out the gem-studded dagger from his arms, and stabbed it straight into the chest of Lord Bai after speaking.

Blood splashed onto Chu Ci's clothes and face, and the two girls who were serving Chu Ci hurried forward to take out the handkerchief and wiped it for Chu Ci.

Chu Ci looked at himself in disgust, clicked his tongue, then walked up to the man who had just spoken with great backbone, and said with a smile:
"In this natural disaster, embankments were dug thousands of miles away in Liyang, causing floods and countless civilian casualties.

It has been found out that it was the Liyang dam built five years ago that used inferior building materials due to corruption, which led to the flood of water sources caused by the heavy rain in Liyang, which collapsed in one breath. The dikes and dams have caused the situation of digging dikes for thousands of miles.

Let us have to leave our hometown to find Dayong for peace talks.

Mr. Shangguan is the supervising official who built the Liyang dam back then. Thinking about it, you have something to do with this matter. "

"Your minister was wronged! National teacher, check it out! The old minister has served the Nanman for many years and loves the people like a son. How could he do such a thing!" Justified himself.

Chu Ci laughed more and more wildly, and said: "Master Shangguan is eloquent and good at acting. If he hadn't devoted himself to the officialdom, he would have been a pillar if he thought about it. He would definitely be popular all over the country.

One month ago, Mr. Jing, the owner of Beidu Factory, found a total of 20 taels of silver in Yiyang, the hometown of Mr. Shangguan, which you bought in the name of his clan brother. More than five of the two will be punished by death.

But obviously, our Lord Shangguan is not afraid of anything... The people from the Beidu factory are careful, and they also searched the underground of your house, and found 50 taels of gold with the private seal of the Nanman official bank According to the private seal engraved on the official bank, it is the official bank that was transferred by the Ministry of Households to Liyang to build the dam five years ago.

Mr. Shangguan, you have formed a party for personal gain, embezzled bribes, embezzled government money, caused the people of Liyang to be displaced, caused countless deaths and injuries, and was a death penalty. "

After finishing speaking, the Lord Shangguan turned pale and was about to plead for mercy, but before he could say a word, he was wiped off by Chu Ci, and the blood spattered... lingering and terrifying...

Chu Ci looked at the sword in his hand that had killed two people in one breath, and carried the blood of two people. He couldn't help but feel a little irritated. He felt that these people really dirty his sword...

Chuci took a clean ropa from Mei Jiaoniang's hand, and after wiping his knife well, he stuffed it back into the scabbard and said:
"Keep fighting! Don't stop! If you kill me, it's mine!"

"You..." The young prince Duanmu Hong obviously didn't know what these officials were doing. After hearing these words from Chu Ci, he looked at the reactions of those people. He felt ashamed immediately. Blushing, she ran to Chu Ci, ready to apologize, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Chu Ci looked at this "unbelievably stupid" prince, and laughed in his heart. He didn't know how the Duanmu family, who was walking on the tip of the knife, raised a child. They raised such a stupid child who didn't understand anything. In terms of his identity, he estimated that he had been gnawed to the bone.

"Little prince, what do you want to say, if you can't say it, don't say it, I don't want to hear it, little prince, I just want to say a word to you."

Duanmu Hong asked suspiciously: "What are you talking about?"

"For this trip, you were not included in the list. It was you who asked the lord to follow. Since you have followed, please listen to me carefully, don't make trouble for me, and do your part (vase) That's it.

What do I do, how do I do it, your parents haven't dared to question me directly in front of me, you, let alone rely on your own identity, pretend to understand me, point fingers at me, if it ruins my big event... No one can protect you..." At the end, Chu Ci whispered in Duanmu Hong's ear.

Duan Muhong suddenly felt a shiver all over his body. In his memory, the dandy Chu Ci who had always relied on the favor of the emperor's uncle and a little bit of wit to do his best, at this moment... seemed to be an evil ghost from hell... in front of him Whispering in the ear...

"Hey, little prince, don't be too scared. You are a relative of the emperor. I'm just a loyal dog of your Duanmu family. As long as the master doesn't kill me, how can the dog... be willing to bite the master~" Chu Ci looked at the dog who was being killed by himself. Duanmu Hong, who was frightened, said with a self-deprecating tone.

Duanmu Hong frowned, and was about to explain. Although he was very unpleasant to him, but he had never treated him as a dog, he saw Dugu Baitian hurried in and said goodbye to Chu Ci Li said:
"National Teacher! Outside, Xie Ruqing, Duke of the Great Yongyan State, swaggered in a carriage and came towards us. Now... we are almost at the door!"

"Oh~" A gleam of light flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, and then he said:
"Unexpectedly, my senior brother came here quickly. Let's go, Lord Dugu, go to the door and follow me to greet him well." Chu Ci made a gesture to go out, but he seemed to remember something, and said back :

"Throw these people into the tank in the back kitchen for me first, remember to press the lid with a big stone, leave a gap to breathe, and don't let them out without my order, so as to save embarrassment. There...here, quickly clean it up for me...

If it turns out that there is a problem, I will be angry~"

When Chu Ci said this, there was a smile on his face and a smile in his tone, but the murderous intent implied in it made everyone shudder... It seemed that they had already passed through the cold spring and entered the severe winter...
