Chapter 168 Uncle
Su Ji looked at the old man on the opposite side. He was not sure if this face was his real face. He had seen several faces after following him for nearly two months.

However, when you are familiar with a person, even if you don't look at his face, you can still recognize him from the details.

For example, the person opposite has many habits. When he walks, his left toe is naturally turned outward. For example, no matter what clothes he wears, he must be flat. For example, when he drinks tea, he always smells it twice before drinking.

There are also many characteristics. The nail on the index finger of his left hand is a little crooked. For example, when he stood there, the weight of his body naturally fell to the left. Su Ji guessed that his right leg may have been injured in the early years and could not bear weight.

These are the results of his observations.

Therefore, what the old man's face looks like is no longer important to him.

"Of course." The old man smiled gently, let Su Ji in, turned around and said to Zhao Yan, "Go get a bowl of tea."

Standing at the door, Zhao Yan glanced over Su Ji's face, landed on his hands, and then over his feet. After his eyes sank slightly, he turned to the room to get a cup of tea, and handed it to Su Ji with a smile. Said: "The freshly brewed tea is hot."

Su Ji took it over, saw the old man and Zhao Yan, thanked him, took a sip of tea, and felt very refreshed, "Thank you, sir, son." Then he returned the teacup to Zhao Yan, "Farewell! "

After he finished speaking, he turned and went out.

"Brother, where are you from and where are you going?" Zhao Yan said this, the old man frowned slightly, and his face turned a little cold, Su Ji turned his head and smiled at him and clasped his fists: "I'm going from Yongping to Shunde, Excuse me, both of you!"

Yongping went to Shunde, and they did pass by here, but it was strange to come to them to ask for tea.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Go slowly."

Su Ji went out, looked up, and muttered, "It's going to rain again." Then he strode out with someone following him, and he didn't feel the people following him until he was outside the city gate. After finally leaving, he found a grassy area and lay down.

The sun came out again, and the temperature on the ground was getting higher and higher. Su Ji half-closed his eyes, half-smiling.

Zhao Zhongyuan!
Zhao Zhongyuan's mother passed away not many years after he was born, so he has been growing up with two uncles, his eldest uncle Xiao Hanyin, second uncle Xiao Hanqing, the eldest uncle is in business, and the second uncle likes to work in Liyuan. play.

Was that Zhao Yan's uncle or second uncle just now?
Xiao Hanqing!Su Ji would think of the scene when "Mr. Wei" was around him making suggestions. He can do almost everything, and when getting along with others, he can always give people a sense of convincing and dependence.

In the past three years, he had checked the origin of the other party, but found nothing. To be precise, there was nothing suspicious.

Thinking about it now, he was really careless.

Sitting up, Su Ji went into the forest behind him. After a while, he came out of the forest with a new look.A burgundy satin gown, shiny hair, fair complexion, and an extra fan in his hand, transformed him into a suave and suave young man.

He looked down and was very satisfied with his appearance. Su Ji, who was waving his fan, re-entered the city.

Just now in the small courtyard, Zhao Yan and Xiao Hanqing were sitting opposite each other. Xiao Hanqing smelt the tea and put it down, saying: "Come here, but if you have something to ask uncle, just ask, uncle will not hide it from you."

"Are you the Mr. Wei who was next to Su Ji back then?" Zhao Yan traced back to the source.

Xiao Hanqing didn't intend to hide it. In fact, whenever Zhao Yan asked, he always said something, "Yes!"

"You also did the things in Beijing, including letting the magistrate of Yanping kill the refugees?" Zhao Yan asked, frowning deeply.

Xiao Hanqing nodded: "Yes!"

Killing refugees, so many lives... This is his uncle.

"Where is that woman in Zhao Zhiting's backyard, and you too? Who do you want her to harm, the crown prince or Zhao Zhiting?" Zhao Yan asked.

Xiao Hanqing replied: "Neither of them will stay."

"In order for me to get that position?" Zhao Yan said, his tone paused, full of disappointment.

Xiao Hanqing still nodded, "Yes." He said, sniffed the tea, took a sip and looked at Zhao Yan, "You have been looking for me for so long, just for these questions, there is no need, you can write to ask me Well, uncle won't hide it from you."

"Uncle." Zhao Yan said coldly: "You have been planning for 20 years? Why didn't you tell me earlier."

Xiao Hanqing shook his head, put down the teacup and looked at Zhao Yan, saying: "You want to be an emperor. To be an emperor, you must be open-minded, open-minded and fearless, and have a heart for all people. I will do these things, you Don't interfere."

"But I don't like that position, you know it." Zhao Yan said: "You taught me since I was a child that what a gentleman gets, he must get it in a proper way. Now you use this method, even if one day I get everything, you Think I'll be at ease?"

"Uncle." Zhao Yan said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and my ambition is not to govern the world in peace. Before you do these things, you may have asked me about my wishes."

Xiao Hanqing looked at Zhao Yan. The young man opposite was gentle, modest, and open-minded. He cultivated it all by himself. He didn't regret it. An emperor should have such a demeanor, "For the sake of the people in the world, you will be willing."

"Uncle!" Zhao Yan seldom gets angry, even if he is angry, he will bear it, his eyes are reddish, and his tone is trembling, "You don't need to say that you are so famous, I just want to tell you, you stop now, let's go to Jiangxi together, Even if you go back to Jingzhou, the throne is not what I want, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Zhong Yuan." Xiao Hanqing also showed disappointment, "People are born unequal, some people eat and drink and wait to die, while some people have to work hard. You have such ability, and uncle also believes that you can do well."

Zhao Yan said: "But this is not my choice."

At this moment, he understood many things, or in other words, he should have understood many things a long time ago, but he just chose not to think about them and avoided them unconsciously until he had to face them.

Only when he faced it for real did he realize that the matter had reached the point of no return.

"You have no choice." Xiao Hanqing looked at him and narrowed his eyes, "Do you know who the Hu family brought back by Zhao Zhiting is? Do you know who is the woman you have been thinking about?"

Su Jin?Zhao Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me about this matter, her matter has nothing to do with me."

He didn't want to know, and he didn't want to peel off that layer of cotton veil to reveal the bloody inside.

Can not afford.

"You can't solve the problem by escaping." Xiao Hanqing said: "Even she is working hard. For the sake of family hatred and national hatred, she has worked so hard as a woman to this day, and she has not flinched. What qualifications and reasons do you have to escape."

"Uncle." Zhao Yan looked at him disappointedly, "Her family and country hatred is righteousness, what are we?"

Xiao Hanqing sneered, holding the teacup with his eyelids drooping slightly, his voice was cold and clear, showing murderous intent and coldness, "What is righteousness? Righteousness is the triumphant song of the winner, and the sacrificial oration of the loser."

After so many years, Zhao Yan felt that it was the first time that he knew his closest relative. He adored him, relied on him, and even gave his life to repay him.

But now, he found that they were never on the same road, and they retreated north and south.

"Back then, you arranged for my mother to meet Emperor Father?" Zhao Yan asked suddenly.

Xiao Hanqing frowned, waved his hands and said: "The time has not come, I can't tell you about this for now, I will tell you in detail when I have a chance in the future."

"If I don't come to ask this time, when do you think it's the right time for all this?" Zhao Yan walked to the door with his hands behind his back, and looked at the scorching sun that was about to climb to the center, his eyes were stinging with heat, but he couldn't help it. Suddenly, the wind and cloud suddenly changed, the scorching sun was thickly covered, and the light on the earth dimmed. Within a quarter of an hour, the big raindrops jingled on the roof, as if playing a sad song.

Sadly, Zhao Yan never moved, watching the raindrops falling on the bluestone slab outside, jumping up and mixing with mud and water... He suddenly remembered the first time he saw Su Wanru in Yingtian Confucius Temple...

The guard and hostility in her eyes were undisguised.

It wasn't until a long time later that the way she looked at him gradually became softer. At first he didn't understand why for a long time, and it was only recently that he vaguely guessed.

Some things, once known, will turn into a thorn and stick in people's hearts, just thinking about it will make them so painful that they can't breathe.

This thorn must have been stuck in Su Wanru's heart for a long time.

It's really embarrassing for her. Facing an enemy, she is still willing to be friends with him without any color or emotion.

"If you don't ask, I won't say it." Xiao Hanqing said: "I said, I will plan these things and I will do them. You just need to be your King Ning with peace of mind and recharge your batteries. , and wait until the future to become an eternal emperor.”

"Is it enough for the people to live forever?" Zhao Yan suddenly asked, his tone became sharper, "Don't you need to do something else? What is my uncle's selfishness? I am the emperor, and my surname is Zhao."

Xiao Hanqing stood up suddenly, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted: "Shut up!" After a pause, the coldness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and became softer again, "Uncle has no selfish intentions, as long as I live, I just want to see you enthroned and proclaimed emperor .”

"Are you not afraid that I will disagree, and would rather die than obey?" Zhao Yan said, "If I die, what will uncle do? Find another puppet to ascend the throne, or will uncle go out in person?"

Xiao Hanqing slammed the table, and the table fell apart, "Zhao Zhongyuan, is this how I taught you to talk to your elders?"

"Uncle, I'm not a three-year-old child, so I can think naturally." Zhao Yan said: "This Hejian Mansion is not bad. We will settle here in the future. I will release the news that King Ning was intercepted by bandits halfway. Kill. From then on, you and I remain anonymous, and there will be no more disputes."

Xiao Hanqing really didn't expect that Zhao Yan, who he always believed to be obedient, would have such a temper. He sneered and said, "I have done so much, even if I want to stop, the people behind me will not agree. Just like in those days Just like Su Zhengxing, he thought that he would be able to retire after expelling the Yuanmeng people, but he didn't expect that those soldiers who followed him through life and death would disagree."

"Zhong Yuan, it's not your business anymore, I can't decide, likewise, you can't decide either." Xiao Hanqing said.

Zhao Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at him, "At least, I can decide my own future." After he finished speaking, a dozen people suddenly appeared in the yard, guarding the yard tightly from all directions, and each of them fell to the ground. Silent, obviously they are all masters.

Xiao Hanqing was startled, then laughed suddenly, stroked his beard and said, "My Zhong Yuan has finally grown up, and he knows that he has raised so many people behind his back. Sure enough, he did not disappoint my uncle."

"It's more than that." Zhao Yan replied: "Uncle, Hejian Mansion is not bad. Why don't you and I live here forever? What do you think?"

Xiao Hanqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yan, "But you are still immature after all, do you know why I chose to stay in Hejian Mansion?"

Of course Zhao Yan knew, "Because the prefect here is your student."

"Still smart." Xiao Hanqing said: "Zhong Yuan, people live a lifetime not only for themselves, but also for others."

Zhao Yan asked: "Who are you for?"

"Uncle is all for you." Xiao Hanqing said earnestly: "Everything that uncle does is for you."

Zhao Yan laughed and shook his head, "It's better to wait for the right time for you to tell me the truth. Before that, I don't want my revered uncle to say inexplicable things to me."

He believes that there must be a reason for a person to do something. Xiao Hanqing has been planning since 20 years ago, and he may not have been born at that time. This is all for him, and it is not true at all.

"Think about the person you like." Xiao Hanqing suddenly mentioned Su Wanru, "If you do nothing, if you hide your name, she will really only be with Shen Zhan. Are you convinced? You can only see her and her for the rest of your life. Others have children, but you have nothing in your life, don't you want to do something?"

"This is her choice. I respect her choice. Even if I am unwilling, there is nothing I can do." Zhao Yan walked back, his voice filled with sadness, "I also believe that no one can take my place in her heart. Even when facing Shen Zhan, I am different, that's enough."

"Not enough." Xiao Hanqing laughed, shook his head, showing the vicissitudes of life, "Everything in this world, if you don't fight for it, you won't get it."

Zhao Yan asked, "Uncle, did you get it?"

"Forget it." Xiao Hanqing waved his hand, "I'm not discussing this matter for now, you should stay here first, and we'll talk slowly."

Ma Jin came in from the door and was stunned when he saw so many people in the yard, then he bypassed those people and entered the door, arched his hands with Zhao Yan, and said: "My lord, the horse is full and you are outside the door. If you are not in a hurry, the subordinates will send the horses to the inn next door."

The inn has stables, their yards are small, they don't.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Ma," Zhao Yan asked, "Who did Uncle Ma send away just now? Does she also live in the inn? Is it Shen Zhan's mother Lu Shi?"

Ma Jin was stunned for a moment, "My lord... how do you know?"

"It seems that we can't stay here. Uncle Ma, go and clean up. We will leave for Jiangxi tomorrow morning." Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Hanqing, "Jiangxi is what I deserve, and as his son, I deserve a land. But that seat should not be mine."

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he left the yard with his hands behind his back, and gave some orders to the people in the yard, but those people heard silently that they were in the yard again.

The surrounding area immediately quietened down, which was strangely chilling.

"My lord." Although Ma Jin is a servant, he is an old man in the family. He treats Zhao Yan like an elder. He came out and persuaded him helplessly: "My lord, my lord, he escaped death and suffered so much, all for you, you Even if you don't feel grateful, you can't turn against him, which makes him so sad."

Zhao Yan frowned lightly, looked at Ma Jin, his eyes were like a deep pool, and people couldn't see what was going on inside. After a long time, Zhao Yan sighed and said: "Yes, it shouldn't be against each other."

In the end, he became the unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous person, no matter what he did, the result was the same.

Zhao Yan turned around, waved his hands, opened the door and went out, and said lightly, "I'll go for a walk."

He suddenly didn't want to stay here, didn't want to see Xiao Hanqing's face, didn't want to hear what came out of his mouth... He even hated himself a little, why didn't he agree with his pursuit, if he agreed, many things would be solved easily.

When Zhao Yan went out, Ma Jin sighed and went back to persuade Xiao Hanqing, "My lord, my lord is very sad, please persuade him slowly, he will understand."

"Well, he will understand." Xiao Hanqing said: "There is no reason for him not to understand."

Ma Jin sighed.

Zhao Yan found a tavern. He seldom drank, let alone the worry-free feeling when he was drunk. Since he knew it was false, why should he deceive himself.But today he really wants to have a drink, maybe when he sobers up, he will find that everything is just a fantasy.

He ordered a jug of wine, and one poured himself a drink. Across the table, there was also a young man who, like him, was holding a jug of wine and poured himself a drink. He drank slowly. Looking at him, the two raised their glasses across the table and drank it down.

Zhao Yan is not confused, because he always knows what he wants, he wants a stable life, so he knows how to manage, and even wins over some courtiers in private, but the purpose of doing this is not to step on the blood of innocent people To plunder, he just wants to make his life more stable.

Power is indispensable for a person to live in this world. He is not a fairy nor can he reach the realm of an outsider, but it is clearer that everything should have a bottom line. What kind of position is my ultimate goal.

What he wants is that he will not harm others, but others will not be able to force him to coerce him.

But apparently Uncle wasn't.

Zhao Yan rubbed his forehead, and Su Wanru's crisp voice suddenly came to his ears, "Prince Ning, I really hate you and appreciate you..."

How did he return?

"Then make it more appreciative and less distasteful."

Su Wanru shook her head, "Admiration may increase, but dislike is indispensable."

That little girl is also the same. From the very beginning, she was very clear about her purpose, what she wanted and what she didn't want, so even if she admired him, she would never turn the simple into complicated.

Their enemies, no matter from the uncle or from the Zhao family, there is indeed a gap between them that can never be crossed.

The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, which is too tragic.

Zhao Yan finished drinking a jar of wine, and ordered another jar, drunkenness appeared in his eyes, he got up, walked to the opposite side and sat down, looked at the young man facing him, and asked, "Your surname."

"Su." The young man replied, "What's your surname?"

Zhao Yan replied: "Zhao."

The two nodded to each other, touched the wine jar, drank half of the jug of wine, Zhao Yan looked at Su Ji, "Are you from Shen Zhan, or from Ajin?"

"Neither." Su Ji replied, "I am mine."

Zhao Yan laughed, nodded, and looked at Su Ji with blurred eyes, "It makes sense. We are all our own people, and we should decide how to go, whether to turn left or right."

"Yes." Su Ji touched the wine jar with him, "For this sentence, I respect you."

Zhao Yan nodded, the two sat opposite each other, there were no side dishes, and they were in a hurry to drink. After half an hour, there were four or five empty jars on the table. , there will be a period later."

"There will be a period later." Su Ji also bowed his hand in return.

Zhao Yan went downstairs and stood on the street. It didn't know when the sky had darkened. He walked to the opposite side and knocked on the door. Ma Jin opened the door for him. He swept over Ma Jin and saw that his hands were wrapped in cloth. Faint bloodstains came out, and seeing Zhao Yan looking over, Ma Jin didn't dodge, and replied: "Just now I did a few tricks with your people."

"Well. You are not their opponent. Uncle Ma doesn't need to try." Zhao Yan entered the inner courtyard and looked around, "There is a place for me to rest."

Ma Jin nodded, and pointed to the west room, "Just tidy up, the bedding is all new, the prince can use it."

Zhao Yan didn't say much, went into the room and found a bed to lie down, he was obviously drunk, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, he turned over, looked at the slightly opened window, and kept silent.

There were footsteps coming and going from the next door. Xiao Hanqing seemed to be talking to someone. After a while, he became quiet again. Ma Jin knocked on the door and came in. "My lord, I made you hangover soup. Drink it quickly, or you will have a headache tomorrow morning."

Zhao Yan hummed inaudibly, but he didn't intend to drink.

"There's nothing left." Ma Jin explained, "It's made by my subordinates."

Zhao Yan still hummed and said, "You go."

After the horse went in and out, Zhao Yan still didn't drink, got up and lit the lamp, spread the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and began to draw unsteadily... The painting was not good, the line was not bent, and the bamboo was not straight.

"Master." Ma Jin brought tea to Xiao Hanqing's room and said in a low voice, "There is news from the capital that Zhao Zhiting was beaten."

Xiao Hanqing frowned very quickly, "Did that princess in the Later Song Dynasty do it?"

"It should be, didn't she just take advantage of Dongfeng to help the Cui family get divorced, and now she is taking advantage of Hu's out of step to beat Zhao Zhiting. Is she planning to confuse your sight?" Ma Jin sat down opposite and asked .

Xiao Hanqing nodded, "That little girl is really smart, it's not easy to get to where she is today by fighting alone." After a pause, she said: "However, let's leave her alone for the time being. It's dealt with."

Their current goals are temporarily the same, and she also helped him a lot, and reminded him of many things, such as the matter of water transportation, and she dared to borrow the official boat of water transportation from Zhao Zhiang.

not bad.

"The Hu family should have already started." Ma Jin replied, "Just then Zhao Zhiting was injured, so it was convenient for him to start while decocting medicine in the yard."

Xiao Hanqing nodded, "So that girl in the Later Song Dynasty helped us a lot."

"Everything is within your expectations, but the prince's side...is a bit difficult." Ma Jin said helplessly: "The subordinates did not expect that the prince would be so stubborn."

Xiao Hanqing took off his coat and lay down on the bed, and said in a relaxed tone: "It's hard to accept at first, just let him think about it for a couple of days."

Ma Jinying was right, opened the door and went out to have a look, and replied: "I'm still writing, why don't my subordinates prepare some supper for the prince."

"You forgot, he never eats at night." Xiao Hanqing said: "Let him be quiet, he likes to write and draw when he has something on his mind."

Ma Jinying did, rubbing Xiao Hanqing's right leg lightly, and the two master and servant whispered, "It seems that the prince has a deep-rooted affection for the Princess of the Later Song Dynasty, and this is the most hurtful thing. I don't know who the Queen What does Song's princess think, our prince is such a good person, many times better than Zhennanhou, why doesn't she like it."

"I like this kind of thing, because I want to get along with each other for a long time. Shen Zhan used to be a regular follower in front of her, and he was a little girl who could do anything. He was the most appetizing for that girl. Su Zhengxing, his wife and Su Ji brothers , pampering her lawlessly, only a person like Shen Zhan can stand her."

That's right, after all the troubles in Pingjiang Mansion back then, he took her to Xi'an, half his life was left on the way back, and Su Zhengxing was so angry that he almost died.

"Toss it, young people don't toss about it, are you still young people? Anyway, there will be no future, you have to have fun." Xiao Hanqing smiled lightly, thinking of something, "Get ready, Zhao Biao is dead In the future, Zhong Yuan will definitely return to Beijing to mourn, and Zhao Zhiang's body is also at the end of his strength. We will also go back at that time. I have been busy for half my life, and I finally see the harvest."

After speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more relaxed, "She can see it in the spirit of the sky, I have fulfilled my promise."

"Yes. The master never breaks his promise," Ma Jin said with a smile, "But, do you still want to take Mrs. Lu to the capital? Do you want to send her back to Chengdu first?"

Xiao Hanqing waved her hand, "I never force people. She decides where she goes. As for the Chengdu Mansion, it's only a matter of one or two years. She has waited for so many years, and she doesn't care about waiting for another one or two years."

Ma Jin should be, Xiao Hanqing gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ma Jin spread the floor beside the bed and lay down on the floor.

Early the next morning, when Ma Jin woke up, Zhao Yan had already come in from the outside, with breakfast in his hand and placed it on the table, saying: "The breakfast bought across the street tastes pretty good."

There were people inside and outside the yard. Ma Jin tried yesterday, but they couldn't get out.

But Zhao Yan didn't block the incoming letter, but he couldn't when it was credible.

"Thank you, my lord." Ma went in to invite Xiao Hanqing. The master and servant sat down and had breakfast. Zhao Yan greeted and went back to the room. Get up and send to Xiao Hanqing.

"Master, what did you say in the letter?" Seeing Xiao Hanqing's unhappy face, Ma Jin was suddenly surprised, and after a while Xiao Hanqing handed him the letter, saying: "You are really smart, it seems that we must not go back."

After Ma Jin finished reading the letter, his face turned pale with shock. The six remaining officials in Beijing were all involved in a case of ink corruption. relationship, so I have been secretly checking.

"How could it be related to them?" Ma Jin said in surprise, "It doesn't make sense."

Xiao Hanqing smiled, and said: "There is nothing wrong with wanting to incriminate them. It's because someone has noticed their identities, so they did it on purpose." As he spoke, he rubbed his forehead, and said lightly: "To force me to show up Woolen cloth."

Show up as soon as you show up, he should go back and have a look. In the future, when Zhao Yan ascends the throne, their capital will be moved to the sky. This Yanjing, it’s less time to see it once.

"What does the prince say? It's hard to handle." Ma Jin replied.

Xiao Hanqing got up and went to the next door, "I'll go and talk to him." After knocking on the door and entering, Zhao Yan was still painting, and didn't look back when he heard the footsteps, just said: "You also suffered a loss?"

"Well, I suffered a bit from the hands of your ideal." Xiao Hanqing smiled lightly, sat down and looked at Zhao Yan, "You have a good eye, this little girl is considered an opponent, she is planning and unscrupulous, she is not at all like Su Zhengxing. "

"The situation is different, and the natural response will be different." Zhao Yan said lightly: "A Jin is smart, and Shen Zhan is there to help. Does uncle still think that he has the chance to win? What's more, my father is not at the mercy of others. Even if Uncle A Jin kills all his sons, I may not be able to ascend the throne smoothly."

"You don't need to worry about it. I will have my own plan." Xiao Hanqing said: "Clean up, we will return to Beijing tomorrow."

Zhao Yan put down his pen and washed his hands aside, "What if I disagree."

"You will agree." Xiao Hanqing said with certainty.

Zhao Yan also sat down, drinking tea, and replied: "Uncle, even if I agree now, you can't leave."

"Anyone else?" Xiao Hanqing frowned, and heard the courtyard door open, and the little brother who borrowed water from yesterday entered the door again, and said, "Old man, can you make an excuse for water?"

Xiao Hanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's you, who are you?"

"Borrower of water." Su Ji said: "The water here is delicious. I still think about it after drinking it, so I came here again today."

Xiao Hanqing laughed, stood up, looked at Zhao Yan, "Are you helping him?"

"No. I'm helping you." Zhao Yan replied: "If you are willing to leave here with me, I can let him leave here now."

Xiao Hanqing smiled again, and looked at Zhao Yan admiringly, "He is honest but not a fisherman, I taught him." He said, looking at Su Ji again, "Young man, let's see if you have the ability today leave here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and in an instant, the small courtyard was surrounded by people.

At this moment, Su Wanru was sitting in Si Sanbao's workshop in the East Factory where she was handling official business. She casually flipped through the file in front of her, and said to Si Sanbao, "So, they are really cautious, and they can't catch any braids. .”

"If you can't catch it, grab it hard." Si Sanbao said: "Since they have discovered the clue, they can't let them hide it. No one who can hide the head and tail in our Si Sanbao's hands has not yet been born."

Su Wanru gave a thumbs up and said, "Elder-in-law is amazing, I admire you the most."

"Are you using me as a pistol?" Si Sanbao squinted his eyes at Su Wanru, "What good does this matter to you?"

Su Wanru waved her hand, "I never hide anything from you. I just hold a grudge because of what happened last time." She said after a pause, "Think about it, these people are out of luck. No, I'm not an official, so their lives and deaths have nothing to do with me."

Of course Si Sanbao thought about it. After a moment of silence, he said, "I won't settle accounts with you for now. We'll talk about it after the matter is settled."

Su Wanru flipped through the file, except that these people were all from the previous dynasty, they really had no relationship at all, but she felt that there must be something invisible that tied them together, and the person wearing them was Zhao Yan's uncle, Xiao Hanqing, right?

This name is really nice, presumably when he was young, he was also a romantic figure.She still remembered that Zhao Yan once told her that his uncle liked Liyuan, not only wrote his own scripts, but also sang operas by himself, he was a very good-tempered, economical and humorous character.

It deserves the name.

"I'm going back." Su Wanru patted the file, "Elder-in-law, you are busy. The boat has been experienced, and it will leave after some people pass."

Si Sanbao nodded, waved his hands without raising his head, and said, "You should be busy, don't get involved in things that are not yours, lest you get involved, miscellaneous people can't save you."

Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, and walked out the door with a smile.

But he didn't go back to Tianxia Department Store in a hurry, but swaggered to the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies. Shen Zhan was about to go out, when he saw her coming, he immediately became happy and said, "I'm going to find you."

"What's the matter?" Su Wanru asked, "Is there any news from my second brother?"

Shen Zhan nodded, whispered something in her ear, Su Wanru paused, and said, "Hejian Mansion is very close, right? Shall we go?"

"I asked Min Wang to take someone there." Shen Zhan said, "Everything will be fine."

Su Wanru understood that the magistrate of Hejian Mansion seemed to be one of the officials of the previous dynasty, and that Xiao Hanqing could live there because he must have thought it was arranged and safe.

However, Su Ji's appearance was just to delay for a few days, as for other things, I'm afraid it would not be easy.

"Brother." Zhu Xun ran in from the door and saw Su Wanru was there, "Why are you here, don't you want to avoid suspicion?"

Su Wanru gave him a blank look.

"What's the matter?" Shen Zhan asked.

Zhu Xun patted his head and replied: "The prince's mansion just invited the imperial doctor back, saying that the prince suddenly fainted, I don't know what happened."

Shen Zhan and Su Wanru looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xun asked strangely, "Do you know anything?"

Su Wanru shook her head, "We don't know anything. Don't go to the Prince's Mansion to inquire, we will naturally know when we have news, so as not to get you involved."

"What's wrong." Zhu Xun felt chills all over when he heard that, and stared at Su Wanru with a look of scrutiny, "That's not right, did something happen?"
