There are more than a hundred households of refugees, that is, five or six hundred people.Those who take care of their families and support the old and the young not only need a new residence, but most importantly, they need a means of making a living.

The first thing Lu You thought of was his 35 hectares of Yongye Field.He originally wanted to transform it into a medicine garden, but he was unable to act due to lack of manpower.

Coincidentally, many of the refugees in Nanfang are Yaonong who escaped from Liuquan City.He gave priority to recruiting these people, rented out 35 mu of land for each strong laborer, and repaired cottages beside the fields for people to live in.

Except for these medicine farmers, he ordered people to carefully investigate the remaining refugees to find out their origin, family background and ability.Organize those who can do some small crafts to work together; those who can farm the land will still farm the land, and those who know how to build skills will directly entrust them to Xiu Neisi through Yang Rongru to participate in the construction of the Taihua Palace.

At the same time, Lu You ordered Tang Ruilang to dig a large sum of money from the Tang family to buy cattle, looms, grain seeds and other materials, and then distribute them to everyone along with rations, salt and silk.

After such an arrangement, [-]% of the more than [-] refugees have been resettled.

The remaining more than 50 people are either orphans, elderly or sick, weak and disabled.Still, Tang Ruilang paid for it and sent it to the hospital and orphanage in Zhaojing City.

Some of the older orphans voluntarily stayed in the Lu family to work.Lu You didn't refuse either, and they all signed a limited-year contract, and asked the Chen Meier brothers and sisters to invite a husband to teach them how to read and write.

It took about a month, and all the refugees here finally settled down, and suddenly another strange thing happened in Zhaojing City.

--------

Before you know it, spring goes and summer solstice.

Zhaojing City is surrounded by mountains on two sides and facing water on the other. In summer, the south wind brings hot and humid water vapor to the south. Once the Slight Heat is over, the whole city will be sweltering and unbearably hot.

It rained a little this afternoon.At dusk, there was still a thin layer of clouds on the horizon, blocking the sunlight.

The long-lost coolness attracted many people to come outside the house to breathe, and the street market, which was once lonely due to the raid of the East Palace, also became lively.

At this time, Lu You and Rui Lang were also drinking their newly made herbal tea in the medicine garden, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.Immediately afterwards, Chen Meier ran over bluffing, pointing to the west and begging the two masters to take a quick look.

Lu You laughed that she was not reserved enough, but still looked up.

With just one glance, he and Rui Lang were stunned at the same time.

But in the western sky, the setting sun slanted, like an orange-red egg yolk.However, on the east and west sides of the sun, there is actually a slightly smaller and darker sun, which together form a strange spectacle of three-day volley.

Tang Ruilang murmured: "Same brightness for three days, this is a phenomenon of demon chaos."

"Don't go out and talk nonsense." Lu You reminded him, "Be careful not to be heard by the prince's people."

They watched it quietly for a while, only to see that the sun in the west was getting darker and darker, and soon disappeared.The remaining sun in the center and east slowly sank, and finally sank under the wall on the west side of the medicine garden.

Immediately after that, as if in an instant, thousands of rays of light spread from the west, dyeing the entire sky as bright red as blood.

"It is indeed an ominous omen."

Now, even Lu You couldn't help but sigh.

The vision of the same brilliance for three days quickly spread in Zhaojing City.In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yun asked Tai Shiling about the meaning of the celestial phenomena, but all he got was a vague answer.

However, compared with the secretiveness of the people in the court, the common people soon had their own interpretation.

Children playing on the street sang meaningful nursery rhymes.On the stage in front of the temple, the drama of Wei Wendi's brother Yan Qiang was performed repeatedly.After whispering to each other, the people who came to watch the play showed intriguing expressions, and when they turned around, they couldn't wait to share the "secret" they heard with others.

"Xuan Wang Zhao Yang, he was actually killed by the crown prince!"

"After three days of fighting, the west sun will sink first. This means that the east palace killed King Xuan who lives in the west palace. Then the emperor and the crown prince will sink together!"

"..." "..."

Every day and night, similar voices roamed the streets and alleys of Zhaojing City, and the plague spread rapidly among the crowd.When the wind spread into the East Palace, it was already the seventh day after the vision occurred.

Zhao Yun was startled and angry, and immediately sent people to destroy the theater troupe performing Yanqiang plays, and arrest those people who spread rumors.For a while, the city was full of turmoil, everyone was in danger, and the streets that had finally recovered were in depression again.

However, this series of strict defenses still failed to stop Youyou's mouth.

I can't mention it in broad daylight, so let's talk about it at night-these days in the early morning, when many residents of Lifang open their homes, they will find that the streets in front of the door are covered with indictments accusing the prince of immoral crimes.Although the people in the Ten Commander's Mansion quickly began to clean up and confiscate, but there are still a lot of papers that have been collected for private circulation in private.

Seeing that the matter was out of control, Zhao Yun turned to threaten the eunuchs and maids in the palace, not allowing anyone to pass any news to the ears of the emperor and empress Xiao.

However, he never expected that although the news did not reach the palace, it "falls" in front of Emperor Huiming.

After noon that day, Emperor Huiming routinely went to Taihua Palace to watch the progress of the project.The imperial convoy slowly exited the Anli Gate, and walked about a hundred feet along the Jiacheng Passage, only to hear a "bang", and a person fell from the front wall!

The emperor hurriedly stopped the carriage.After learning about the situation, Emperor Huiming sent someone to check.It was a defender who fell down, and his body was already stiff.Examining the wound carefully, he found that there was a blood book in the arms of the corpse, accusing him of all kinds of crimes committed by the prince.

Because of the prince's threat first, everyone only put away the blood book and did not tell Emperor Huiming.And this blood book was sent to the East Palace after changing hands.

Zhao Yun immediately rewarded the person who came to report the letter, and took the blood book, walked around the screen and came to the inner hall.

Here, Jiang Qiguang, who has been greatly valued by the prince with his humble status as the young minister of Taipusi, has completely listened to the conversation just now.

At this moment, he sighed and looked at Zhao Yun worriedly.

"The Xiao family is pressing hard every step of the way. If His Highness doesn't go one step further, I'm afraid it will be too late for regret."

--------

The guards in Zichen Palace and the city were attacked and killed, which shocked Emperor Huiming even more - this is naturally a shocking case.In the afternoon of that day, the Imperial Guards of the Beiya and Nanya began a rigorous search, covering every palace and every house including Zichen Palace, Yeting Palace and East Palace.

At the same time, in order to prevent the clan and concubines in the palace from being frightened, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent people to various places to explain in detail.

When Lu You came out of Empress Xiao's Anren Palace, he bumped into Tang Ruilang who had just left Penglai Pavilion on the way.The two of them made up their minds and decided to go to the Wanchun Hall again.

Wanchun Hall, east of Zichen Hall, is currently the temporary residence of Duan Wang Zhao Qing and his eldest son Zhao Rongze.A while ago, a tunnel was discovered in Liuquan Palace, just in time for Prince Duan Zhao Qing to come to Zichen Palace to pay respects to Zhao Yang, and he has lived here until now.

After all, Zhao Qing is Tang Ruilang's second brother-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with saying hello in the past; since Lu You said goodbye to the funeral palace a year ago, Lu You has not seen Zhao Rongze again, and now he does miss him a little.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them had already passed the Zichen Palace, and when they raised their eyes, they saw a few idle eunuchs standing beside the Wanchun Gate in front of them.

Lu You recognized a few of them, and they were all working in Wanchun Palace, so his face darkened immediately, and he asked them why they were standing idle at the door.

Those little eunuchs hurriedly said: "It was King Duan who drove us out. He wanted to teach the prince a lesson, and he didn't allow others to persuade us, so he drove us all out."

Teach Zhao Rongze a lesson?

Lu You immediately had an intuition that "it's not good"——Zhao Qing is a mad person, and the onset of the disease is far worse than Zhao Yang's.He said that he wanted to teach Zhao Rongze a lesson, but it wasn't necessarily an ordinary father-son punishment.It's even possible...

Just as he was thinking of this, he heard a sharp cry of a child from the courtyard of Wanchun Palace.

One step faster than him, Tang Ruilang has already pushed the door open and rushed in!

I saw Zhao Rongze fell down the steps in front of Wanchun Hall alone, hugging his broken knee, crying.Look at the disheveled clothes on his body, the exposed shoulders and bare legs are all traces of being beaten with thin bamboo threads!

Although Lu You had tried a lot of family methods when he was a child, but seeing such a young child covered in bruises, he felt pity and anger in his heart, and quickly grabbed Zhao Rongze into his arms.

At this time, Duan Wang Zhao Qing also quietly walked out of the dark hall step by step.

His face was pale, his hair was disheveled, but his eyes were reddish, like a vicious female ghost in a fairy tale, but what he held in his hand was no longer a bamboo stick for whipping, but a sharp knife.

He poked his head slowly, as if looking for Zhao Rongze's whereabouts in the surroundings.

Before he saw Lu You, Tang Ruilang had already blocked him in two or three steps: "His Royal Highness Duan...brother-in-law, please stop!"

Zhao Qing's reddish eyes turned to him little by little, then turned her head slightly, showing a puzzled expression.

"Who is your brother-in-law? Who is your brother-in-law? Your sister has nothing to do with me. Your real brother-in-law is not me...not me!"
