Chapter 273: cut off
Chapter 273 was cut off
Yu Zhi just guessed casually, but it opened Wen Jiuxiao's mind. Two days later, Wen Jiuxiao told her that the abolished prince really regretted it. Although she didn't guess all of them, she guessed 80% of them correctly, and the remaining 20% were trivial and unimportant.
Two days later, I heard that the abolished prince had been deposed as a commoner. Not only was he abolished as a commoner, but he was also dispatched to Lingnan.
Lingnan... Su Shi once wrote a poem "eat three hundred lychees a day, and never hesitate to be a Lingnan native". It sounds like a good place, but it is just Su Shi's joy after being demoted.
Lingnan is thousands of miles away from the capital? It is still unknown whether the waste prince with delicate skin and tender flesh can complete this journey smoothly. Even if he was lucky enough to make it to Lingnan alive, all he had to do was hard work. The grandson of the dragon who was born high and high, let alone working, has he ever served his own food?
Guarding the tomb in the imperial mausoleum seems to have fallen to the bottom of the valley. In fact, there are people waiting for food and drink, but there is no freedom. In Lingnan, that is the real hell. Maybe it won't be long before we hear the news of the deposed prince's death.
The fate of this life is too impermanent. After finally casting a good tire, what do you do? If you die, you have nothing.
Following the exile of the deposed prince is the sentence of the rebels in Chuuxuelou. The emperor deeply hated that Chuuxue Lougou had led the princes down and beat them all as rebels. Fortunately, they were all orphans, so the Jiuzu clan would be spared.
On the day of the execution, the **** team lined up far and wide. It was heard that the executioner's knives were so sharply chopped that the heads alone could be piled up into a hill.
The case was settled, and the Pingbeihou's mansion received a reward from the palace. Yu Zhi's luggage was also packed, and he was waiting to leave. However, it took a long time for things to come. Wen Jiuxiao came back that day with an unusual expression on his face, especially cold, not only his face was cold, but his eyes were also cold. When looking at Yu Zhi, he still felt a little guilty.
Yu Zhi thumped in his heart, "Is something wrong?"
Indifference is his normal state, but he feels guilty... Could it be that he has made great achievements and the emperor rewarded the beauty? Or did he fall for someone else's beauty trap while out socializing?
Wen Jiuxiao was a little embarrassed to speak, and the guilt in his eyes grew even stronger. Yu Zhi became anxious, and raised his voice, "What's the matter? You're talking!" He was so anxious.
Wen Jiuxiao finally spoke with difficulty, "Zhizhi, I'm afraid I'm going to break my promise to you, let it out..." He paused, "The one I was looking for was cut off."
He was a little afraid to look into Yu Zhi's eyes, he let it out, he had agreed before getting married, these days Zhi Zhi was busy packing her luggage, he was seeing her joy. Don't think she is happy in Beijing, but he knows that she prefers Ancheng's life.
Yu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's all?" He thought he was going to get a woman back, but it was a false alarm.
"Yes, that's it." Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi's face, "Aren't you angry?"
Yu Zhi glanced at him, "Angry! Who cut off his beard?" She really wanted to know who would dare to steal from a young adult, "Didn't you say it was already agreed?"
"The Bai family, the concubine Bai in the palace, now the missing child falls on Bai Guogong's second brother." Wen Jiuxiao's eyes flashed with chills, "I asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials for the matter of the release. The wind and cold, I asked for leave. Coincidentally, the cabinet wanted this year's vacancy list. Gao Yongen, the minister of the Ministry of officials, wrote Bai Er's name on it, and when I knew it, the list had already reached the emperor's dragon case."
"Doesn't Gao Yongen know what you are going to release?"
"I know, but I'm just pretending not to know." He also pretended to apologize to him.
Yu Zhi frowned, "Did he have a feud with you?"
Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "His brother-in-law once killed someone by accident. I tried the case. He came to me and wanted me to be flexible, but I didn't agree."
now it's right. Yu Zhi thought for a while and asked, "Is that Concubine Bai very favored?"
"She has a princess under her knees, and now she is pregnant again, and it is almost five months. The rumors released are probably a little prince."
"No wonder." Women in the harem either fight for looks, or for father, or for stomach, and Concubine Bai is the latter. Being able to fight a **** path among so many women, and even conceive two children in a row, it can be seen that she is a woman with great means.
"Sorry." Wen Jiuxiao didn't mind being disrupted to his plan, he was more concerned about Yu Zhi's displeasure, he felt guilty for failing to do what he promised himself.
"Why are you apologizing? It's not what you want." Although Yu Zhi was regretful, he also knew that it wasn't Wen Jiuxiao's fault, and he must be feeling angry right now.
"I was careless." He thought he was sure, but something happened unexpectedly, "I should pay more attention."
Yu Zhi rolled his eyes at him, "It's useless no matter how closely you watch if you do mental calculations or not." The officialdom is like a battlefield, and it's just as dangerous, "The Bai family, what's the reputation?"
Wen Jiuxiao thought for a while, and said: "Concubine Rong's father, Duke Bai, is ruthless and decisive, but he is not slippery, and it is difficult to catch him. When he was young, he had worked outside, He is very proficient in common affairs. He is the eldest son, Bai Er is the eldest son, Bai San died early, Bai Si and Bai Wu are both concubines, and they were all released by Bai Guogong, but the official positions are not high. product. Bai Er is also on a foreign post, and was also a magistrate before, but the post is average."
"In other words, there is actually only Bai Guogong's house left in Beijing?"
"Yes, Bai Guogong is quite knowledgeable. He restrained his tribe and got his brothers out of the capital. His family's reputation in Beijing is still good."
Yu Zhi didn't think so, "His son is bullying men and women, so bad that he has sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, how can his family have a good reputation?"
"He has no official position, and no matter how much he can cause trouble, he can't spread it to the court. Besides, with his father around, he won't get a lot of notoriety." Wen Jiuxiao's eyes flashed irony, surprised, " How do you know about his son?"
"He once came to my shop to make trouble, and I cleaned him up. People from your Dali Temple came and took him away. Oh yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, and you went out of Beijing on business. It's a pity that his family has good hands and eyes." , I took him back the same day. Didn’t your colleagues tell you?” Yu Zhi was also very surprised.
"No." Wen Jiuxiao frowned tightly, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Yu Zhi shrugged, "I thought others would tell you." Suddenly, as if remembering something, he patted his forehead, "They must have thought I would tell you, but I thought they would tell you, As a result..." Yu Zhi spread his hands, but neither side said anything.
Wen Jiuxiao's complexion improved a bit, and he warned: "Tell me about anything you encounter in the future."
"Understood." Yu Zhi said obediently, but he didn't really take it to heart. What are you kidding? She has to report everything, does she still want to go out? "It's a pity that I bought so many things."
Although it wasn't Wen Jiuxiao's fault, Yu Zhi was still very regretful that he couldn't be appointed outside the office. Forget it, continue to lie flat in Beijing!
Wen Jiuxiao didn't speak, but a cold light flashed in his lowered eyes. Is his beard so easy to cut? It's better not to be overwhelmed!
