〖Emperor〗 Don't lose prosperity

Everyone found that Qi Lei didn't come over with a smile on his face the next day, so they didn't care too much.What is more interesting today is the matter of Chen Qiu's execution at the market.

Su Jiulian, Xiao Zixian and Ye Shuang all went to the market to have a look, and Ye Yi stayed to take care of the three children.

Pulling Chen Qiu's prison cart slowly past the market, the common people on both sides took out the leftovers they specially brought and smashed them hard at Chen Qiu.Especially those who have been bullied by them hit even harder, even using rotten eggs.

"Looking at the attitude of the common people, this Chen Qiu has really done a lot of evil."

Ye Shuang took a rotten vegetable from the basket next to him and threw it on Chen Qiu's head.

"Chen Qiu's matter has been settled. Half of the gold and silver he obtained will be used to distribute grain and rice to the common people, and the other half will be compensated equally to those who have been oppressed according to the booklet." Su Jiulian ordered.

"Yes. Who do you plan to succeed as the prefect of Hangzhou? Or do you want to make a decision after this year's imperial examination?"

Originally, as a royal guard, he was not qualified to involve his master's political affairs.But Su Jiulian has always indulged them, so she usually doesn't put on high airs.Although Ye Shuang has a straight temper, she never intends to disobey Su Jiulian, and has been following Su Jiulian wholeheartedly.

Su Jiu continued: "Not waiting for the imperial examination, I have already drawn up the list, and I will discuss it with Zi Xian in the afternoon."

Xiao Zixian nodded, and Ye Shuang didn't ask any more questions.

Seeing the prison car going farther and farther, Xiao Zixian suggested: "There are too many people, let's take a look, let's go back!"

He was about to go back, but there was chaos ahead.The ordinary people who were still angry dispersed one after another, and it took them a while to see the situation clearly.It turned out that a group of men in black came out from nowhere, covered their faces with big knives, killed many yamen guards, and were about to rob the prisoner's car.

Ye Shuang didn't expect that something would happen again, so he hurriedly protected the two masters, and wanted to cover them to leave as soon as possible.It's just that the sky didn't go as expected. After the prisoner was rescued, the man in black's goal turned here again.Ye Shuang secretly said badly, and drew out his sword to block the attack.

Su Jiulian and Xiao Zixian are not ordinary people, so they can deal with it naturally.

However, Xiao Zixian felt that the aura of the person in front of him was very familiar. After two rounds, the man in black grabbed Xiao Zixian's arm with one hand and pulled him over. Then he heard the man whisper: " Don't resist, Tagan, it's me!"

This person was called by Xiao Zixian's second brother.

Xiao Zixian didn't know his purpose, so he didn't dare to act rashly, but he couldn't disobey, so he had to do as he wanted.

Zhao Zhao put the knife on Xiao Zixian's neck, and took him away with light work.

Su Jiulian stood beside him in a state of anxiety, and did not expect Xiao Zixian to be taken away so easily.He wanted to catch up with him, but he didn't care about it, so he was slashed with a knife, almost hurting his vitals.

Ye Shuang looked terrified, and quickly got away to protect him.The men in black all retreated at this time, fled in different directions and finally disappeared.

Su Jiulian stopped at one place, quietly looking at the direction where the man took Xiao Zixian and left just now, with uncontrollable anger in his eyes.

Ye Shuang knelt on half knees and said, "Master, I'll go and chase Master back."

"Immediately summon a hundred elite soldiers from the capital, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must play for me and bring him back."

The voice was full of coldness, Ye Shuang dared to neglect, after escorting Su Jiulian back, he immediately told his brother, and his brother immediately rode back to the capital.

Since then, Su Jiulian's room has been filled with a gloomy atmosphere, which is the true feeling of Ye Shuang who is guarding the door.

Xiao Zixian was taken away Ye Shuang certainly knew the seriousness of the situation, but in his impression Xiao Zixian's martial arts were not weak, how could he be taken away so easily?

After thinking about it, the only suspect is Chen Qiu who wants to be executed. A dying person can do anything.But that group of people are also very good at martial arts, Chen Qiu is already a prisoner on death row, how can he find someone to save him so much?

He should be punished on the spot!Ye Shuang thought angrily!

Su Ye came over and asked Ye Shuang, "Daddy is back, but I didn't see the teacher. Where is the teacher? I have some questions to ask him."

"What do you want to ask, young master? Let me see if I can help you?"

"Isn't the teacher back?"

"Hey, I said, don't fool the children."

Lin Yuxing also came out of the room.

Ye Shuang frowned: "Damn brat, I'm your master, so please be polite."

"Master lied, disciple pointed out, shouldn't you praise me?"

Ye Shuang gritted his teeth against his young and mature tone!

Su Ye raised his head and asked, "Master also left like Momo, and doesn't want us?"

"No." Ye Shuang knelt down and said with some embarrassment: "Young master, don't worry, Master will be back soon. By the way, do you still remember the homework that Master taught you a few days ago? Go and review it while you have time." Let's go. Little devil, take the son back to the room, lock the doors and windows, and don't open the door except us."

"Why do you lock the doors and close the windows?"

"Can't it prevent rain?"

Lin Yuxing looked at him suspiciously, and Ye Shuang was upset, "Looking once is not enough, you need to look twice, children, don't think about messy things like that guy Mo Zi."

Lin Yuxing felt a chill, so he dragged Su Ye back.

After one night, the hundred elite soldiers that Ye Yi brought back from Kyoto secretly entered the city of Hangzhou in disguise.In order not to let other people find out, Ye Yiyi left ten people guarding the inn and acting as buddies, responsible for cleaning up the surrounding garbage.So in those few days, the people in Hangzhou discovered that there was a group of people sweeping the floor there all the time, without any expression on their faces from morning to night, and the ground was spotless for several days.The innkeeper refused at first, because he looked horrified at those unsmiling people, but was bought by Ye Shuang with a silver ticket of 100 taels, with free labor and money, He Le Why not?

Another ten people were on standby in secret, and the remaining 90 people were scattered all over Hangzhou City to search for news about Xiao Zixian.

On the first day, no trace was found.

The next day, there was no trace.

On the third day, no trace was found.

……

The place where Xiao Zixian was hidden was very secret, in a small dilapidated house deep in the mountains, far away from the city of Hangzhou.Chen Qiu, who was robbed together with him, was nowhere to be found. Xiao Zixian waited calmly for three days, and finally saw the call.

The call was obviously prepared, and a chess board and a pot of tea were prepared.

"Don't be in a hurry to ask what you want to ask, play a game with me before talking."

Knowing his character, Xiao Zixian sat down to play chess with him.

Xiao Zixian used to be a striker general with outstanding military exploits in Kaining, and his chess skills are not bad.

The call is the leader of Kaining Qiurong, and the deployment of troops is meticulous, so the two are almost on par.

"Do you still remember the purpose of the king sending you to Qingdi?" Zhao Zhao asked suddenly.

Xiao Zixian paused for a moment, and then said: "Unify the country, and take into account the hatred of relatives."

"I still remember it, so why are you so slow to do it?"

"The time is not enough, how to do it?"

"Timing is something people make."

Xiao Zixian held his son silent.

The call continued: "Kai Ning was caught in dire straits, which almost led to the destruction of the country. The king does not want to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, so his only wish is to make the people of his country stable and prosperous."

"Second Uncle, King Chu is because of Kurma... You should know that Emperor Qing is a wise king, if you kill him, the world will be in chaos!"

Zhao Zhao said without hesitation: "Chaos, no matter how calm it is. If he is really a wise king, he won't even be able to protect his own wife."

Xiao Zixian stared, "Second Uncle, what are you going to do?"

"I've sent people to inform Emperor Qing that he will come to rescue you soon, and you will know what to do by then."

"Second Uncle thinks that Emperor Qing will definitely come?"

Zhao Zhao smiled: "I'm surprised if he doesn't come. Tagan, you don't know how much he thinks about you!"

Xiao Zixian remained silent.

This game is a draw.

……

After reading the letter, Su Jiulian asked, "Who sent the letter?"

Ye Shuang replied: "It's a little girl, so it shouldn't be the deity."

"Have you found any traces?"

Ye Yi and Ye Qiqi apologized, "Not yet, please forgive me, master."

"That's all." Su Jiulian put the letter on the candlestick and burned it, and then said: "Tomorrow I will go alone, and prepare the one hundred thousand taels of silver mentioned in the letter for me. Don't come with me."

"But such a dangerous master, what if those kidnappers tear up the ticket? Otherwise, my brother and I will follow you quietly, and we will never be discovered."

The letter that was sent was a blackmail letter, and it was only for money without harming life, so just take the 10 taels of banknotes and go over to change people.But the one who can rob the prison car and ask Su Jiulian to go is definitely not an ordinary kidnapper, and it will definitely not work if you are not careful!

"No, I have a sense of proportion. You pack your luggage tomorrow, take Ye'er and the two children and go first, and wait for us outside the city gate."

"Master, are we going back to Kyoto?"

Su Jiu nodded repeatedly, "The southern tour will not be carried out any more, and when we leave tomorrow, let the hundred elite soldiers act secretly and not reveal their whereabouts."

"Yes!"

"Go back and rest. If Ye'er asks, you can adapt accordingly."

After leaving the room, Ye Shuang said helplessly: "Brother, do you really let the master go alone?"

"It's an order, you have to follow it."

"Then, what if something goes wrong?"

Ye Shuang suddenly covered her mouth, feeling like she was about to turn into a crow.

Ye Yi rubbed his hair, "Don't think too much, go back and rest first, there are still things to be busy tomorrow."

"it is good."

The night was short but also long, so long that Su Jiulian's body was numb when he was sitting at the table.

Looking at the already whitened sky, Su Jiu even cleaned up, took the long-awaited saber and bank notes, went out of the inn, pulled on the prepared horse, and galloped to the place written in yesterday's letter.

Ye Yi and Ye Shuang silently watched Su Jiulian's leaving back upstairs. They were extremely regal, but also worrying. After all, what the enemy was holding was the most invincible bargaining chip.

About an hour later, Su Jiulian arrived at the destination.

As soon as he got off his horse, there were no fewer than ten black-clothed masked men who surrounded him and took away his sword and money.

Su Jiu gave them a contemptuous look, then was pushed into a dilapidated house, and a burly figure came out from inside, which should be the leader.But he also covered his face, so he couldn't see it at all.

"You brought all the money, right? We didn't treat that little brother badly, let's go in!"

In order to disguise the call, he also tried to pretend to be a bandit and kidnapper's tone.

Xiao Zixian, whose hands and feet were bound inside the door, not only felt his heart tighten when he heard the voice, the dagger in his arms was pressed against his flesh, oozing with coldness, as if reminding him of what he was going to do next.

As soon as Su Jiulian stepped in, the door was slammed shut, almost hurting his heel.

But Su Jiulian didn't care, he only cared about Xiao Zixian's safety, and hurried to his side and asked, "How? Did you get hurt at all?"

Xiao Zixian shook his head, "It's nothing, they're just looking for money."

When the rope was loosened, Su Jiulian looked at the bruises on Xiao Zixian's hands and ankles, and made no secret of her distress, and then hugged him in her arms, although she didn't say a word, her affection was revealed.

Xiao Zixian's right hand was inserted into the middle of his left sleeve, and a pair of eyes at the hole in the door were watching him intently, urging him to act quickly!

Xiao Zixian quickly touched the dagger in his sleeve, and even the handle of the knife felt bitingly cold.
