"King Chen, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by His Majesty, came here to hide and relax."

Before the person came to the front, the voice came over.

Si Xingjian is helping Zai Zai collect the dandelions he dug.

Zai Zai dug this with other friends, and after drying it, he prepared to take it back and sell it for money.

When he heard the voice, he didn't look back, but asked with a little disgust: "Why are you here?"

The person who came was the son of the second room of Chang Ting Bo's mansion.

The eldest son of Chang Ting Bo was originally one of the original owner's companions, but the original owner immediately fell in love with Cheng Wu when he was young.

Without him, it's just because Cheng Wu is the best-looking among all the sons of Chang Ting Bo Mansion.

In the end, the original owner was decided to be the eldest son of Chang Ting Bo, and Cheng Wu would be the head of the family. He was half a book boy of the eldest son of Chang Ting Bo, and he also read and played with them.

Because Cheng Wu's status is too low, he is not qualified.

In fact, the status of Changting Bo's son is not high.

When the original owner reached the age of choosing a companion, the first emperor had already paid more attention to King Jing, so he was naturally unwilling to choose a son of a family with a rich background for the original owner, and then add support to the prince's line.

The elder Tingbo was born in a reckless family, and he was awarded the title of earl only because of his military achievements and his life-saving grace to the third master of Lin Guogong's family.

If the younger generation has no one who can do the job, such a family will decline for three or four generations.

The elder Chang Ting Bo's eldest son, Cheng Wu's uncle, the current Chang Ting Bo is just a mediocre person.

Which father who loves children would choose such a family's child as his son's companion?

Even if good bamboo shoots come out of bad bamboos, this good bamboo shoot is not Chang Tingbo's son, but Cheng Wu.

Cheng Wu not only gave birth to a good skin, but the inside of his abdomen is not rough.

Otherwise, the original owner would not have a good personal relationship with him.

Last winter, a Zhuangzi of the Cheng family was hit by a snowstorm, and Cheng Wu went to check after the beginning of spring.

Zhuangzi in Changting Bo's mansion is not like Zhuangzi in Prince Chen's mansion, who can be so close to the imperial city.

So Cheng Wu has not been in Fengyuan for the past two months.

Hearing Si Xingjian's question, Cheng Wu replied: "Before I entered the city, I heard that King Chen was coming to Zhuangzi, so I simply kidnapped him for a while. I have always been out of business, even if I return a few days late, it's okay important."

"Why, you are not welcome? Could it be..."

It was clearly still spring, but Cheng Wu had already waved his fan very artificially.

He was shaking, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a short little dumpling standing behind the shelf, and it was difficult to say those teasing words.

"Is this Xiaoshizi?" Cheng Wu untied the jade pendant from his waist, knelt down and handed it to Xiaotuanzi, coaxing, "I'm your father's good friend. My surname is Cheng. You can call me Uncle Cheng."

Seeing that his father didn't stop him, Si An smashed the ashes off his hands, took the jade pendant, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Uncle Cheng."

For some reason, when he saw this strange uncle, he suddenly felt flustered and unhappy.

Maybe it was because he was not willing to part with his little friend, he was unhappy, so he blamed this new stranger?

He puffed his face and was not in high spirits.

No matter how funny Ren Chengwu was, he didn't laugh.

At this time, Si Xingjian had already collected Zai Zai's dandelions and put them in a delicate bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket is a gift from other friends to Zai Zai.

"These are your treasures, you put them away by yourself, and don't forget to bring them with you tomorrow." Si Xingjian handed the bamboo basket to Zai Zai.

"Okay." Si Anzheng took the basket and left slowly with heavy steps.

Although he worked hard to dig the dandelion for several hours with a small shovel, the result was less than a catty after drying, and it was not heavy at all.

The heavy steps are not because I can't lift it, but because I don't want to avoid it.

He knew that it was his father who wanted to distract him, and he didn't want to leave, but he couldn't stay here willfully.

Ying Jiu took a deep look at Cheng Wu, and left with Xiao Shizi.

Ying Jiu is a qualified guard, and when she doesn't want to attract attention, she is like a shadow.

That's why Cheng Wu realized that there was a strange woman beside Si Xingjian. He knew that King Chen didn't like having a woman close to him, and seeing her leave with Xiao Shizi, he thought she was sent to protect the child.

In this regard, women are indeed more careful.

Cheng Wu couldn't help sighing: "Sure enough, he is a father! Why, you took the child back all of a sudden?"

The original owner did not tell Process Wu of his doubts, so Cheng Wu never knew the reason why King Chen was willing to give his child to the emperor to raise.

Cheng Wu just thought that King Chen didn't like children, or that he intended to use this to draw in the relationship with the emperor; and the little prince was like a proton, which would make the emperor feel more at ease with King Chen.

Now that King Chen suddenly took Xiao Shizi back to his side, could there be some changes?

Si Xingjian didn't explain Cheng Wu's question, but pointed to Ying Jiu's direction with his chin, and said, "That's someone sent by the emperor."

Xuan Shisan and Xuan 14 helped him train guards in the palace.

The palace doesn't support people who eat rice - except Zai Zai, since they are staying in the palace now, they must be of some use.

Even if they were the emperor's people, he was merciless in using them.

Si Xingjian ignored the unacceptable Cheng Wu and went to clean his hands on his own.

It took a while for Cheng Wu to realize it. He took two steps forward and asked in a soft voice, "Who...is suspicious of you? Did you send someone to watch?"

Si Xingjian pushed the person away, and reminded coolly: "You should worry more about yourself."

A son of the uncle's mansion, who had a close relationship with the prince in private, was accidentally bumped into by the emperor's people... Even if it was just a friendship between gentlemen, it might become a melon field, it is not clear.

What's more, Cheng Wu wasn't innocent at all, and Chang Ting Bo's mansion was still a mess.

Cheng Wujing reminded him that when he thought of his situation, he wanted to cry but said: "Was that what King Chen said just now to coax me?"

"You can think so too." Si Xingjian's tone didn't fluctuate, but he added after a while, "If this can make you feel at ease."

Cheng Wu's half-relaxed expression froze on his face, appearing a bit ferocious.

After pondering for a while, Cheng Wu regained his composure, and said with a smile: "At any rate, I have had a friendship with King Chen for a few years. Even if there is a private relationship, it should be."

Si Xingjian chuckled vaguely, ignoring such self-deceiving questions.

Both of them knew that the important thing was not whether they had contacts, but whether the emperor would have doubts about them.

They knew better that the emperor, who could doubt even his own brother, was obviously not big-hearted, on the contrary, he was keen and suspicious.

Si Xingjian did not expect Cheng Wu to come here suddenly, but he was not worried about being discovered.

It can even be said that he intentionally let the people who run the kite see it.

Otherwise, this is King Chen's Zhuangzi, Siqing is here, Cheng Wu, a stranger, can't enter his courtyard so easily.

When Zaizai mentioned that Qing Tuan was a food in the south in the palace, he seemed to have unintentionally revealed something to Si Xingzheng.

He's not using Zai Zai.

Talking about those with Zai Zai, I just chatted casually when I was in the Youth League.

It can be said that the speaker does not care about the listener, but for Si Xingzheng, "South" will be a word that attracts his special attention.

There is no need for Si Xingjian to explain these to Cheng Wu.

He calmly comforted him, "There's no need to worry so much, let's talk about what you've gained this time."

Cheng Wu stared at him, and said bitterly: "You are the prince, the emperor's younger brother, so naturally there is nothing to be afraid of. The son of our Cheng family..."

When Cheng Wu mentioned his eldest brother, he gritted his teeth, and was very disgusted, so he didn't want to say more.

Cheng Wu, who was full of resentment, saw that Si Xingjian was indifferent, so he had no choice but to sigh deeply, and said what he had gained from this trip.

In addition to dealing with Zhuangzi's affairs, Cheng Wu took half a month to go to Lingnan when he went out this time.

"Lingnan is about to establish itself as a country now. Anyone who is a foreigner will be strictly censored and stared at..."

Cheng Wu spoke heavily about the situation in Lingnan.

He is not as dandy as he appears, on the contrary, he has good views on political affairs and strategy.

There are four prefectures in Lingnan, and he spent a lot of time sneaking into Rong prefecture, but he can guess that the other three prefectures are not much better.

And how many states will there be in the southern states?

Cheng Wu knew that King Chen would not fail to understand the things he could think of, so he didn't express his opinions, but mentioned something else: "Also, I didn't find anything about that woman... Maybe it's because time is limited."

Cheng Wu's face showed that disgusted and slightly nauseous expression again.

Si Xingjian listened quietly all the time, with a calm face and didn't even frown, let alone interrupt.

It wasn't until Cheng Wu finished speaking that he stopped tapping the bamboo tube with his fingers and handed out the half of the bamboo tube filled with mountain spring water.

Cheng Wu took it, drank it all in one gulp, and said with difficulty: "Could it be... the art of witchcraft?"

No matter how beautiful and seductive a woman is, it's still difficult for a man to obey her, right?

Those prefects are all officials ordered by the imperial court, so they will not make an agreement to betray the imperial court and not secretly report to the emperor, right?They come to Kyoto every year to face saints.

There are also inspecting censors and examination officials, how can they hide the truth?

Regarding the Gu technique, Si Xingjian also had doubts.

It was very strange that the former emperor suddenly changed his attitude towards the empress' lineage, and favored Concubine Song and Prince Jing instead.

However, whether it's about witchcraft or the matter of the former emperor, everyone keeps secret and rarely mentions it.

The original owner was still young at that time, and he didn't have much contact with the late emperor, so he didn't have much relevant memories.

Si Xingjian is not sure whether witchcraft really exists in this world, or whether it is just the superstition of the world and three people become tigers.

Because witchcraft has always been mysterious and unknown to outsiders.

He looked through a lot of books in the palace, and only saw a few records that were vague and difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Hearing Cheng Wu's doubts now, he said lightly, "Isn't it? Just arrest him and have him interrogated."

Cheng Wu was a little surprised by his answer, opened his eyes slightly and asked, "You mean...would this scare the snake away?"

"Snakes?" Si Xingjian twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain, "At most, they can be regarded as invisible bedbugs. Of course, they need to be exposed to sunlight to get rid of them."

Cheng Wu gave a pleasant but brief chuckle, and soon asked blankly, "Who are you arresting?"

Go to Lingnan to catch those Zhizhou?

Si Xingjian frowned, and thought: This person doesn't seem to be in a good mind, should we continue to cooperate?

"Naturally, it's the woman from the Cheng family. Of course, if you're willing to feed a tiger with your body and get useful information from her, you don't have to interrogate her."

Cheng Wu didn't refute his teasing, but smiled more happily, but what he said was bloodthirsty and cruel: "I will interrogate myself and let her spit out everything she knows."

Si Xingjian agreed: "Let Qingshan help you."

The two talked about some serious business again.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Si Xingjian asked Qingsong to arrange a place for Cheng Wu to rest, and he entered the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zai Zai biting his index finger pensively.
