In the backyard of the government office wing, tonight is a night with a young moon, and the stars are brighter than usual.
"You said the emperor trapped us here, what exactly is he trying to do?" Yu Fei leaned on the railing, his arms dangling in the air, "If he really thinks that our general is preventing him from buying people's hearts, he will directly withdraw him with an edict. Isn't the job easier?"
Yu Wenjun crossed his arms and leaned against the wooden pillar with his back to him, "Your Majesty is not as stupid as you think. If you really want to do this, it is to murder a meritorious official. Wouldn't he have to bear the infamy for the rest of his life?"
"Uncle's reputation among the people is growing day by day. If we want to shake the foundation he has laid in battles for many years, it is better to let us mess up and give him a legitimate reason than to find those high-sounding and clumsy excuses to deceive our ears."
Yu Fei turned his head and stared at the looming figure behind the big pillar, "What do you mean?"
"What else can it mean?" Xiang Huan, who had been sitting on the steps, suddenly said, with a dry grass in his mouth, looking lazy, "Now we are short of food and medicine, and he deliberately ordered people to stay away. , obviously trying to consume us to death.
"Now there are only two ways - either send troops to attack the state city to obtain supplies, so that he can tell the world that the tiger and leopard cavalry has two hearts and push the general to the forefront; or do nothing Obediently wait for death, when there is turmoil in the barracks, everyone will finish playing together."
"How do you put it so easily." Yu Fei stood up, "We gave them our lives for nothing, and we will be silenced in the end. We have never fought such a useless battle in this life Xiang Huan, aren't you angry?"
? According to his previous personality, he has long been jealous, and the copycat hastily rushed back to Beijing to assassinate Sheng Jia, why is he suddenly calm now.
"Then why not?" He lazily sucked out the withered grass, "Should I show off my courage and go back to Beijing to assassinate the dog emperor?"
Yu Fei: "" I was actually despised!
"Xiao Fei, don't be impatient." Yu Wenjun persuaded, "The matter is of great importance, and the general will not sit idly by."
Encountered this kind of thing before, at least there was Xiang Huan and him "people are not frivolous and wasteful youth". At this moment, Yu Fei suddenly realized that he had become the least "steady" one among them.
He looked at Yu Wenjun, the Wannianhe muddleheaded man, and Xiang Huan, the traitor who turned his back on the road, and a trace of high-pitched and ignorant sorrow sprouted, and he turned away very depressed.
"Hey, Xiaofei, Xiaofei"
Yu Wenjun yelled a few times, seeing that the latter was ignorant, so he had to catch up first.
Soon there was only Xiang Huan left in the courtyard.
He still sat casually, picked up a green branch at random in his hand, and pulled the young leaves from it.
The lanterns protruding from the eaves sway quietly in the wind with the sound of spring insects.
Xiang Huan vaguely felt a figure standing behind him, and before he had time to look back, the man gently touched his cheek, his fingertips felt slightly cool. As soon as he raised his head, a pair of clear and quiet eyes were looking at him, with cautious probing and concern in his expression.
A smile unconsciously appeared on his lips, "Why are you?"
When he spoke, he stood up and held the girl's hand.
The boy was born tall, but he seems to have turned his head around in the past year. Wanyao can only meet his eyes by raising his head slightly.
"I heard something about the general" She hesitated in her words, and her eyebrows gradually frowned, "I was afraid that you would get angry again, so I wanted to take a look."
Xiang Huan smiled when he heard this, "I'm not angry anymore."
"Doesn't it look good to you?"
He opened his arms to show her.
Seeing that Wan Yao's expression was still worried, Xiang Huan stretched out his hands to cup her face, "Okay"
His palm-sized face was almost wrapped in his palm.
For some reason, Wan Yao suddenly felt that Xiang Huan seemed to be less enthusiastic about military ranks and promotions than before, but rather absent-minded.
He let go of his hands and lowered his head, holding her in his arms, resting his chin on the large amount of black hair on the back of her neck.
"If you and Yuanyuan stay in Qinglong City safely, then I will stay here, even if Yuan Fu comes, I will swear to the death; but if anything threatens you, it will be the capital of the capital." Xiang Huan paused. After a pause, "I'll go and shoot it too."
Wanyao showed a pair of almond eyes behind his shoulders and listened quietly, until she heard the second half of the sentence, she felt a little arrogance that she had not seen for a long time, she buried her head in Xiang Huan's chest, pursed her lips and smiled.
After a while, he pushed him with his palm to break away.
The latterShe wanted to come, but Qin Zheng actually didn't agree with her going out with her body braced.
Soon the last bit of color from the hem of the skirt disappeared around the corner. He wanted to take another look, but was stared at by the other party's entourage as if threatening.
Qin Zheng didn't take these people seriously, he just looked away lightly, and stood with his head bowed and his sword in his arms.
The door of the private room was pushed open, and the person sitting in front of the table was Tongzhi of Songzhou, who worked as an errand in the government office with Chen Wenjun's younger brother, and was regarded as a half-subordinate relationship.
"Miss Chen." Tan Tongzhi had already drank a few drinks in a rude manner, and raised his hand to greet her hastily when he saw her coming in, "Please feel free."
Most of the magistrates are deeply intertwined. This Mr. Tan is also the nephew of the local magistrate. He is in his early thirties and is as strong as a mountain. The pile of flesh on his face is somewhat similar to his uncle.
Chen Wenjun sat down opposite him, Tan Tongzhi was looking at her, and the poured wine had already been pushed over.
"Sorry Mr. Tan, I don't drink alcohol."
There was an uncomfortable smile on the other side's mouth, and he said while drinking, "Then girl, you don't know the rules of the industry too much. This business doesn't matter big or small, and it always has to be done at the wine table." It went well."
"It's true that the little girl has never been involved in agriculture and business. This time, it is because her father is sick and no one is in charge of the overall situation at home. She has no choice but to set up a family. I hope you will forgive me." After finishing speaking, Chen Wenjun motioned behind him. The title deed was handed over to her.
"This is the land and shops purchased by the Chen family in the capital and Songzhou. Sir, please check and check. Is it enough to cover the debt owed by my brother?"
Tan Tongzhi raised his head and drank a cup exaggeratedly, glanced roughly at the thin papers, and put them aside without interest.
"Miss Chen, I'm afraid there is still a long way to go if only these things are there?"
Her delicate eyebrows unconsciously twitched: "It's far away?"
"Your Excellency, you can see clearly that the market price of shops in the capital is several times higher than that in Songzhou. Although the profit is not very good, the price is that the quantity is small but the quality is high. Every inch of land in Chang'an is expensive, and you may not be able to make it with the money." buy it."
The woman on the opposite side has exquisite facial features, her skin is as white as snow, and she is slightly powdered. After all, she is a young lady raised by a wealthy family, incomparable to a small family in a border town, and she even looks angry.
Tan Tongzhi suddenly put down his wine glass, "Miss Chen, no matter how valuable the shops in the capital are, they are still far away from our place. It will take me a lot of effort to exchange them for silver."
Chen Wenjun was a little silent when he heard the words.
Seeing this, the other party smiled and said, "I have an idea."
"It's better, if the girl marries into my Tan family, the silver owed by your brother will be regarded as a dowry I will prepare another generous dowry, what do you think?"
Her complexion instantly became very ugly, but she still suppressed the discomfort: "Master Tan just joked."
"I came here with sincerity, how can I be joking? I know that the girl has been married once, but I can welcome you in eight sedan chairs in accordance with the standards for marrying a wife."
Chen Wenjun immediately stood up, "Master Tan, I am sincerely here to discuss business with you. If you are only interested in teasing, then we don't need to talk."
Chen Wenjun made a gesture to take the land deed on the table, but Tan Tongzhi grabbed his wrist unexpectedly.
His bloated figure suddenly stood up, like a tall wall of flesh, his big eyes cooled down without warning, and his expression changed as soon as he spoke.
"Give me a face, do you really think of yourself as an official lady?"
Fear of the unknown filled his heart, and Chen Wenjun hurriedly pulled his hands hard.
But Tan Tongzhi remained motionless, quietly watching her struggle like a falcon catching a hare, and smiled sinisterly, "Yuan Fu is dead, your Chen family will be a thorn in His Majesty's side sooner or later, I am willing to marry you Going through the door is the utmost benevolence, how many people in the city are waiting to see your good show. Confiscating your home and giving you a marriage, you can afford ten of this money! You bitch don't appreciate it"
"You let go!"
"About business? Your brother is in debt but not repaying. What kind of business relationship is there between you and me? Now I am the creditor, how to repay the debt is up to you to choose?" Tan Tongzhi's eyes suddenly froze, and he raised his arm and slapped her. to the ground.
"Miss!"
The maid on the side panicked and was about to step forward to protect the lord, but the attendants in the house had already stopped him sharply from left to right.
Tan Tongzhi leaned over and knelt on Chen Wenjun's waist, grabbed her wrists fiercely, turned his head and said to his followers: "Pull her out for me." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
