Showa tin

He always only left him looking up at his back without turning around once, so no matter how long Xun Zhui looked at it, it didn't matter. He had been looking up at this back for more than ten years, how many times he wanted to stop Yan Zhaohe.

He shouldn't.

But there are times when he can't help it.

Xun Zhui's headache was about to split, he clenched his fist with one hand, and pressed the center of his fist against the center of his eyebrows.

As expected, Yan Zhaohe stayed with his back to him for a moment and left.Yan Zhaohe, unless there is something important to explain, no one can stop him.

This is the answer that Xun Zhui spent his entire youth in exchange for.

Because of Yu Niesheng's matter, Xun Zhui missed the opportunity to see Zhao Ningxin in time, and he will leave tomorrow. He has to see Zhao Ningxin as soon as possible and take her to the capital as a witness.

After Yan Zhaohe found Zhao Ningxin, he sent him to Xiao Ti for custody. When Xun Zhui mentioned it, Xiao Ti immediately sent Zhao Ningxin over.I didn't see him in Qingteng Villa, so Xunzhui found an inn everywhere outside Zhuangzi.In order to prevent him from causing trouble to Yu Niesheng when he was not in Boyan, Xunzhui specially left two Ling Yuwei guards to look after him.

"Your Majesty, all the arrangements for returning to Beijing have been properly arranged. I sent someone to send a letter in advance to inform the commander in chief." Xiao Ti followed Xun Zhui and said.

Xun Zhui wrote all the questions he wanted to ask Zhao Ningxin on a piece of paper, and he found the paper and handed it to Xiao Ti. Xiao Ti didn't know what Xun Zhui was doing, so he put the paper away blankly after reading it.

The woman was three months pregnant, and Zhao Ningxin was pregnant three months earlier, her abdomen arched into a big ball.It is probably because Zhao Ningxin also took good care of her during pregnancy, her whole body is actually a bit bloated, and her limbs are slender without any fat.

The whole inn was reserved, so there was no need to go to a private room, Xun Zhui and Zhao Ningxin sat in the lobby of the inn, and Xiao Er served two bowls of pumpkin porridge.

Xun Zhui pushed one of the bowls in front of Zhao Ningxin, Zhao Ningxin smiled at Xun Zhui: "Thank you, my lord."

With an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and long ebony hair, Zhao Ningxin's face is indeed a look that everyone will like.

The young lady who opened Yingge Xiaozhu still has two brushes. The girls who came out are full of scholarly temperament. Who would have thought that they were born in the land of fireworks?

The pumpkin porridge is soft and rotten, and it is more sweet with a little honey.Xun chased out the door and no one cared, so he put three spoonfuls in.

"My lord, there are too many." Xiao Ti reminded.

Xun Zhui paused the hand holding the spoon of honey, and added another spoon without changing his face.

Pumpkin porridge is only delicious if it is sweet.

Xun Zhui only ate a third of it, and before Zhao Ningxin put down the spoon, he slowed down to eat until Zhao Ningxin ate up the whole bowl.

Zhao Ningxin rubbed his stomach and smiled, "My children always have to eat more than me to grow up well."

Xun Zhui nodded and poured a glass of water for Zhao Ningxin, signaling Xiao Ti to start.

Xiao Ti took a step forward, Xun Zhui put his hands on his lap and straightened his waist.

"Madam, when did you enter Yingge Xiaozhu?"

"When I was found by the adults before, although they didn't tell me why I came, but as soon as I heard Yingge Xiaozhu, I knew something was wrong." Zhao Ningxin said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will tell the truth."

Before Zhao Ningxin left, he was the oiran of Yingge Xiaozhu, three or four years earlier than Kou Dan came to Yingge Xiaozhu.She doesn't hold power in her hands, but it doesn't mean she doesn't have power.Her power is not Yingge Xiaozhu, but those dignitaries in the capital.How many people have thrown a lot of money for her just to meet and talk for half an hour.

"There are girls who are prettier than me, why am I the most favored?" Zhao Ningxin said.

"A Jieyu flower is worth more than a decorative vase."

Those vases can only give men pleasure from the flesh, but they can't solve the most fundamental distress of these men.

Zhao Ningxin said to himself: "When I was in the capital, I would receive the latest news from the officialdom every morning, and in the evening those officials who had suffered setbacks in the officialdom would come to me and ask me what to do."

"Later, I became more and more famous, and was invited into the mansion by King Chong, and he wanted to take me as a concubine."

Her name is a concubine, but she is actually an aide.

King Chong gave Zhao Ningxin half a month to think about it, but Zhao Ningxin refused on the spot.

Entering the palace, being a concubine in face, being restricted by the main wife everywhere, how can I have the freedom to be the hottest girl in Xiaozhu?With Zhao Ningxin's ability, she can bring economic benefits to Xiao Zhu without using her body to receive customers. Naturally, Xiao Zhu has money and will not restrict her how to live.

"The business of Yingge Xiaozhu is very good, sir, do you know why?" Zhao Ningxin asked.

Xun Zhui didn't answer, and quietly looked at Zhao Ningxin's eyes that became brighter and brighter after mentioning Yingge Xiaozhu.

"All the girls in Yingge Xiaozhu have to study, is it just to cultivate the interest in hospitality in the future?"

"The largest fireworks field in the capital, no one who goes in is an ordinary person. Most of the officials of the imperial court will definitely go there once a month. I am afraid that only the upper court can gather so many important officials. Those important officials are under the surveillance of the imperial court, so there is no way to hold gatherings. , Yingge Xiaozhu is an excellent plotting place."

"All the top girls in the row hold at least five or six officials' secrets in their hands. Where will all the secrets go together?"

After Zhao Ningxin finished speaking, Xunzhui frowned.

If Yingge Xiaozhu is equivalent to an intelligence gathering place, then the position of the mastermind behind it must be unshakable. Although there are many dignitaries in Beijing, there are only a few who have power.

"I said before, King Chong wanted to take me as a concubine, but he didn't succeed." Zhao Ningxin reminded again.

Xun Zhui gestured to Xiao Ti to ask the next question.

Xiao Ti asked: "Yingge Xiaozhu is in charge of the young lady, what is the relationship between the young lady and King Chong?"

Zhao Ningxin praised: "It seems that the young master already had the answer in his heart before asking me."

Xun Zhui lowered his head and found a small bag of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar that he bought on the roadside when he came here. The sweet-scented osmanthus sugar was crystal clear and packed in an oiled paper bag, and the weather was too hot and it melted a little.

He took out one and handed it to Zhao Ningxin, who took it and put it in his mouth.

The woman squinted her eyes and recalled, "It's so sweet, it's as delicious as the sugar shop in the south of the capital."

Chu Niang refused to confess, and Xun Zhui had thought about this possibility when Kou Dan took the blame.Family affection and love will make everyone go to their heads. Koudan is family affection for the young lady, but who is the young lady for?The young girl is alone, without any relatives, what can make a woman go all out to protect her is only a certain secret feeling hidden in her heart.Maybe some people know it, maybe no one knows it, but it doesn't affect its position in the heart at all.

"Prince Chong wanted to get Yingge Xiaozhu, but His Highness Zhao Wang was too powerful in the court. Although many people were dissatisfied with His Highness Zhao Wang, the old officials in the court were disgusted with their mouths and wrote memorials to impeach them. They knew the memorial clearly. His Royal Highness King Zhao will read it first before handing it over to His Majesty, so why make unnecessary protests?"

Because they know that King Zhao doesn't care about impeachment at all, and neither do they themselves.The little emperor didn't have the ability to rule the world on his own. Before that, he could only rely on King Zhao.Most of King Zhao's abilities came from the late emperor, and those who were approved by the late emperor naturally had nothing to say about their talents.

The old ministers just want to remind King Zhao: the imperial power gives you the status of being equal or even equal, but only the imperial power has the power to easily deprive you of everything.

Thinking of this, Xun Zhui finally started to look at Zhao Ningxin squarely.

A woman is more sober than a man. If she is a man, she will surely become a new star in the imperial court in the future.

"The former boss of Yingge Xiaozhu just had a deal with King Chong. King Chong gave her money and backing every month, and she exchanged information for it."

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and when greed gets bigger and bigger, the opinions of both sides will grow more and more.

King Chong wanted Zhao Ningxin, but Zhao Ningxin refused, so he would naturally find the next one.

"An ordinary-looking woman who was rescued by a man after being beaten by Xiaozhu should be moved." Zhao Ningxin sneered disdainfully, "When the young lady was not serving Kou Dan, she was excluded everywhere. My mother beat someone a little bit." She didn't show mercy, blood spattered on the wall, and she asked the young lady to lick the blood clean."

Finally, one day when the girl was being beaten, she was stopped by a guest. The guest brought her doctor to treat her, and even took her to Zhuangzi under his own name for recuperation.

People who have never been warm in half their lives, once exposed to warmth, immediately sink into it and don't ask right from wrong.

If there are other reasons, Xun Zhui can handle it, but I am most afraid of encountering a woman who will do anything for a man.In the eyes of others, it is like moths flying to a flame. Although the flame is beautiful and dazzling, it only takes a moment for it to disappear after approaching.

Xun Zhui reached out to Xiao Ti for paper, put the paper in front of Zhao Ningxin, and asked her to read all the questions.

"I knew they were killing people, but I didn't know they killed so many people." Zhao Ningxin said, "Many things were slowly figured out at home after I redeemed myself. The young mother didn't like me staying in Yingge Xiaozhu. I can do many things for her, but just because King Chong once wanted to take me as a concubine, a woman's jealousy is terrible."

"She can't kill me openly, she can only let me go."

Zhao Ningxin patted his chest, showing that he still had lingering fears, "After the redemption, I immediately left Yingge Xiaozhu with my husband and went south that night. But there was a problem with a batch of goods in the afternoon, and we had to stay for two or three days, so we just Let the maids who came with you take the carriage back first."

"The maids didn't go back. They all died in the carriage in the middle of the night. The coachman found out the next morning." Zhao Ningxin said, "She wanted me to die, but she couldn't find her own killers. Just kill women, it’s dark at night, and I didn’t even make sure if I was in the carriage.”

"So forgive me for not being able to leave with the young master. The young lady must know that I am not dead, but as long as I don't go back, I still have a way to survive, and my child and I can still be safe."

Xunzhui wrote, "I can keep you safe."

Zhao Ningxin shook his head, "I only believe in myself."

Xun Zhui raised his pen and said again.

"I went looking for you with great fanfare and used the government's household registration. Ma'am, do you think I can escape?"

If Zhao Ningxin didn't go with Xunzhui, I'm afraid Xunzhui returned to Beijing with his testimony before handing it over to the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and he would get the news of Zhao Ningxin's death.

Zhao Ningxin's complexion darkened, but Xunzhui chuckled lightly.

"what do you want to do?"

Xun Zhui supported his chin and slowly wrote two words on the paper.

"Back to Beijing."
