Chapter 90: end of the year

Chapter 90: end of the year

    Shi Ye slept for a long time.

    When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window darkened.

    The two candlesticks on the table were filled with flames, and the dim yellow candlelight filled this small bedroom to the brim. Unfortunately, Shi Ye couldn't feel the temperature.

    It is autumn, and the temperature is gradually getting colder.

    Shi Ye had a headache and sat up from the bed while rubbing his temples.

    Seeing this, Eunuch Zhu, who was standing by the side, hurried to the table and poured a cup of warm tea. Eunuch Zhu held the teacup in both hands, bowed his waist, buried his head, and carefully poured out the tea. Hand it up: "Does His Royal Highness want to moisten his throat?"

    Shi Ye lifted the quilt and sat beside the bed for a while before reaching out to take the tea handed over by Eunuch Zhu: "When did you come back?"

     Eunuch Zhu replied in a low voice, "Return to His Royal Highness, the servant returned to the capital when he applied today."

    Shi Ye hummed, holding the teacup in his hand, but did not mean to take a sip. He lowered his eyes and looked at his five fingers holding the cup, as if he was contemplating stunned.

    Until Eunuch Zhu whispered: "His Royal Highness?"

    Shi Ye snapped back to his senses and raised his eyes to look at Eunuch Zhu.

      of cold sweat.

     Eunuch Zhu replied tremblingly: "Back to His Royal Highness, Liu De and Zuo Zhi are guarding Young Master Wen. Young Master Wen is very safe, just..."

    Shi Ye asked: "Just what?"

     Eunuch Zhu pursed his lips, and then said softly: "It's just that Young Master Wen is going out, and he will inevitably encounter various dangers. Now the situation is tense, those people are eyeing them, maybe they will More and more people are putting their minds on Young Master Wen... The minions thought that His Royal Highness should let Young Master Wen come back sooner."

    After saying this, Shi Ye giggled: "Do you think he is willing to come back?"

    “…”

     Eunuch Zhu was dumbfounded, and I had to say that he was stumped.

    Not to mention that it is inconvenient for Mr. Wen to leave at present, it depends on Mr. Wen’s own wishes, and he should be unwilling to leave, even Mr. Wen has not even inquired about the news of His Royal Highness, it seems that he is completely unwilling to leave. Forgot that His Royal Highness was such a person.

    Thinking of this, Eunuch Zhu was in a cold sweat. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sympathetic to His Royal Highness.

    Shi Ye raised his eyes and glanced at Eunuch Zhu's dull appearance, suddenly feeling agitated, he put the teacup back into Eunuch Zhu's hand, got up and walked out: "Well, since he wants to stay there, This palace will let him stay."

    Eunuch Zhu quickly put the teacup on the table, hunched over, took small steps, and hurriedly followed behind Shi Ye: "His Royal Highness, the servant has something else to do."

    Shi Ye didn't look back: "What?"

     Eunuch Zhu deliberately lowered his voice: "The slave just got the news, that person has been caught, and it was indeed sent by the Hua family, but I am not sure who sent it."

    Shi Ye took a step, turned back, and there were some gloomy emotions in his black eyes. After a while, he raised his lips and smiled, and the half of his face that was not covered by the mask was full of cruelty Li: "Where?"

     Eunuch Zhu carefully approached Shi Ye's ear and whispered a place name.

    Not long after Zuo Zhi came to Wen Chi, Wen Chi felt suspiciously that one of the guards beside him had also been stolen from him. More and more like Liu De.

    On this day, Wen Chi and Lord Yin had been busy outside for a day, and it was evening when they returned to the courtyard.

    Wen Chi dismissed the other guards, leaving only the one who was suspected of Liu De.

    He called the guard into the room and looked at the guard's face carefully.

    In front of her eyes is a completely unfamiliar face, neither good-looking nor ugly, anyway, it is very popular, and you can't find it when thrown into the crowd.

    Originally, Wen Chi wouldn't pay attention to this face, but I don't know if the guard was intentional or not, and Wen Chi saw him using force several times.

    So Wen Chi found out that the guard's moves were a bit like Liu De.

    After reading it, Wen Chi whispered, "Liu De?"

    The guard hummed expressionlessly.

    Wen Chi: "!!"

    Wen Chi was shocked, he was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, and finally found his voice: "Are you really Brother Liu De?"

    The guard still had a numb and unfamiliar face, but what came out was Liu De's voice: "Yes, Young Master Wen."

    Wen Chi's expression management was out of control. For a while, he didn't know whether to be surprised or surprised. He looked around Liu De up and down and found that Liu De really imitated the guard by 10%. Like, if it wasn't for Liu De deliberately showing his clumsiness, I'm afraid he would never find out that there was another person beside him.

    "Why are you here?" Wen Chi scratched his nose, "I thought you followed His Royal Highness back to Beijing."

    Liu Dedao: "Liu Shan has returned to Beijing. Zuo Zhi and I stayed together. When Young Master Wen returns to Beijing, we will follow you back."

    Wen Chi snorted.

    Then the two of them had nothing to say.

    As time went by, Wen Chi slowly felt embarrassed. Although he and Liu De had a short-term mentoring relationship, the relationship between them was not so deep after all The point of reminiscing in this case.

    Wen Chi clenched the hem of his clothes quietly, and was thinking about finding a reason to let Liu De retreat, but suddenly he heard Liu De say: "Since Young Master Wen has recognized me, then we will take the course Make arrangements."

    Wen Chi: "???"

    Liu De quietly squeezed out a smile, looking a little horrified.

    Wen Chi: "What course?"

    Liu De faced Wen Chi's ghostly expression, but he didn't feel anything, but explained seriously: "Learning martial arts requires diligent study and hard training. Waste it together, let alone…”

    Seeing Liu De paused, Wen Chi asked subconsciously, "What's more?"

    Liu De gave Wen Chi a meaningful look: "What's more, Young Master Wen is not a gifted person in martial arts, it is better to be down-to-earth."

    Wen Chi: “…”

    Enough is enough, let’s not say the latter sentence.

    Decades passed in the blink of an eye.

    The weather is getting colder and colder.

    No news came from the capital, maybe Zuozhi and Liu De knew something, but they didn't tell Wenchi what they planned to do, and Wenchi didn't take the initiative to ask. shared understanding.

    Later, in order to facilitate learning martial arts, Wen Chi arranged the guards and maids sent by the emperor in the next courtyard. With Liu De and Zuo Zhi stalking at the same time, Wen Chi's martial arts really... .

    As the New Year is approaching, every household in Jinju is preparing for the new year.

    The Zhou Mansion was no exception. The Zhou Zhifu arranged for the people to carefully clean the inside and outside of the mansion, and replaced all the lanterns with festive red lanterns.

    However, on the second day of Zhou Mansion's new look, a major event happened in the mansion - Master Yin helped Zhou Fang to find out who had previously colluded with the kidnappers.

    It turned out that the kidnappers did not break into the Zhou Mansion on a whim, but cooperated with the people in the Zhou Mansion, and looted the Zhou Mansion while the Zhou Zhi Mansion and the Fourth Prince General Lin went out.

    The people who colluded with the kidnappers were Zhou Fang's own brother and younger sister.

    Zhou Fang was born in a small mountain village. He had no background or backing. He climbed to where he is today with all his strength. He hurriedly brought his parents and younger brother over.

    How can he know that his younger brother is not up to his expectations, he is ignorant and ignorant, and he is doing some spoofing things outside in his name, and now he is putting his mind on these distinguished guests. …

    Originally, the couple insisted that they were simply framed by Master Yin and didn't know the kidnappers at all. Unexpectedly, Master Yin snorted coldly and threw out the letters between them and the kidnappers.

    The couple saw the contents of the letter clearly, their eyes turned black, and they both fell to the ground.

    Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhou Fang quickly picked up one of the letters from the ground and looked closely. It was indeed a dog-shaped character written by his younger siblings.

    "You guys..." Zhou Fang felt a blood rush to his head, making him dizzy, he managed to steady his steps, and pointed at his brother and sister who were kneeling on the ground, trembling voices Said, "You are simply unfamiliar white-eyed wolves! How do I usually treat you? How do you treat me?"

    "I was wrong, brother, I was wrong!"

     "Brother, we were also deceived by those people, we didn't do it on purpose, we blame those who killed thousands of knives!"

    Seeing that the couple could not deny it, they crawled up to Zhou Fang, crying and shouting, and hugged Zhou Fang's thighs from left to right.

    In order to seek justice, Mr. Yin specially called all the people who temporarily lived in Zhou Mansion, including several officials who came to Jinzhou with Mr. Yin. Nose, mouth and heart, quietly waiting for Zhou Fang to make his final decision.

    Wen Chi stood at the edge of the crowd. He looked at the heavy-faced Lord Yin, and then at the couple kneeling at Zhou Fang's feet, hugging and crying. A strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

    He stepped back calmly, backed up to Zuo Zhi who was standing at the door, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, why did Sir Yin suddenly remember what happened before the investigation?"

    Zuo Zhi also whispered: "I don't know."

    Wen Chi paused for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Do you think that what Lord Yin did was instructed by His Royal Highness the Prince?"

    Since Mr. Yin came to Jinzhou, Wen Chi has been with him all the time. The two are inseparable during work. Apart from work affairs, they naturally talk about some private matters, but Wen Chi had never heard Lord Yin talk about these things.

    Unfortunately, Zuo Zhi still answered: "I don't know about slaves."

    Wen Chi looked back to the left branch.

    Zuo Zhi blinked innocently, looking like she didn't know anything.

    However, after getting along with Zuozhi for a while, Wen Chi and Zuozhi have long understood the character of Zuozhi, the old fritters. Anyway, Zuozhi can't fully believe what he said.

    Wen Chi wanted to ask Lord Yin about it, but Lord Yin was busy supervising Zhou Fang to handle the housework. Until the meeting was over, Wen Chi did not find a chance to speak with Lord Yin alone.

    New Year's Day is coming.

    The ancient New Year's Day was not called New Year's Day. People in this era called the first day of the new year "Sui Dan", but the way of calling it was not completely uniform. Today, I'll give you three days off.

    Wen Chi held it in the house for two days, but he didn't hold back. He remembered the note that Shi Ye wrote to him, so he turned the note out of the wooden box.
