Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

Ordinary people celebrate the New Year, and the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is over.

The palace is extravagant, it will be more lively for a while.

But after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the red satin flower balls were removed everywhere, the palace lanterns were retracted, and the taste of the year disappeared.

The two young eunuchs rolled up their sleeves, hid behind the vermilion pillars to avoid the wind, and whispered gossip.

"How did I see Marquis Xinting enter the palace again?"

"I saw it too, maybe there is something urgent, after all, I just came here this morning!"

"I hope the barbarians from Jiangbei don't come to make trouble again, but let us live in peace."

"What are you afraid of? We are serving the emperor. No matter how many barbarians come, it won't hinder us."

"That's true!"

The two were talking lively, but suddenly they heard a loud bang in the imperial study.

The two of them had a conditioned reflex, their knees softened, and they immediately knelt down.

The cold ground made them react quickly, looked at each other awkwardly, and were about to get up.

Eunuch Feng has already come out in a hurry to call for someone, they followed the other young eunuchs, entered the room with low eyebrows, and quickly cleaned up the mess.

It turned out that the loud noise just now was caused by the emperor smashing a plum vase.

What happened to make the emperor so furious? Didn't it mean that Xintinghou is highly valued by the emperor? How dare he provoke the emperor like this? !

Everyone was slandering in their hearts, but no one dared to ask more questions, and hurriedly retreated out after cleaning up.

The room was quiet for a moment, only the emperor, Xintinghou, and General Manager Yi were the only ones.

The emperor drank two cups of tea in one go, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, you can't wait any longer. Even if the people behind the scenes can't find out and leave hidden dangers, you can only wait until later to find another opportunity slowly." removal.

"Now Yaochi must be banned immediately, and all those involved in the case must be strictly investigated. Otherwise, the lotus ointment will spread, and the consequences will be disastrous!

"I don't feel relieved to leave this matter to others. After all, there are too many people involved. If the person in charge has selfish intentions, it will be another big disturbance.

"Tianwu's momentum is weak, just because of the high-yield grain, it has eased, and I really can't stand it turning upside down again..."

Xintinghou knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will act cautiously. If I don't let a guilty person go, I will definitely not wrong an innocent person."

The emperor helped him up with his own hands, then handed him a gold medal, and said: "All the manpower will be mobilized from the Northern Expeditionary Army, and we must not let any fish slip through the net from Yao Chi.

"I'm waiting for your good news!"

Hou Ye took the gold medal, made a quick calculation in his mind, and said, "Your Majesty, the hidden guards have found the three secret passage exits of Yaochi, but there must be loopholes. I plan to mobilize a thousand northern conscripts to enter the city and seal off the five places around Yaochi. inside.

"In addition, all the members of the Eldest Princess Mansion will be ransacked and imprisoned, and the list of victims will be interrogated. Of course, it is more to find out whether there is anyone secretly helping to spread the hibiscus ointment. Please allow the emperor!"

"Quite!" The emperor said in a deep voice: "Cousin, feel free to do whatever you want, if someone obstructs you, feel free to arrest him and put him in prison, I will take care of everything!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and please trouble your Majesty's servants to put on a show..."

Xintinghou said in a low voice for a while, the emperor nodded repeatedly.

So, the two young eunuchs who had just returned to the pillars heard the emperor's angry scolding again from the imperial study before they could gossip about what happened just now.

Not long after, Xintinghou came out with a sullen face. Even if Eunuch Feng wanted to speak, he waved his hands and ignored him, and strode out of the palace.

Xintinghou fell out of favor? !

Everyone wished they were exerting all their strength and wanted to gossip, but they dared not say a word.

Soon, the news spread, and everyone knew the reason.

The city wall of the palace is like a sieve, if there is any rumor, within an hour, everyone outside will know about it.

Xinting Hou annoyed the emperor because of the salary of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he was driven back to the pier as soon as he returned to Xindu!

Some people gloated, some looked on coldly, some were indifferent...

In the princess mansion, the eldest princess listened to the servant's report, and heard that Princess Kangle had indeed returned to Suijintan, and even Marquis Xinting had returned to the pier, so she was finally relieved.

She gave her granddaughter a hard look, and scolded: "Useless things, don't dare to make up your own mind next time, see if I don't peel your skin!"

Bao Lei also breathed a sigh of relief, and defended herself: "Grandmother, it's my granddaughter who is reckless this time.

"Granddaughter thinks that Baiyunjian is making money every day, and there is a queen behind the three princesses. If we can pull them into the water, Baiyunjian will be our home. There are still three princesses and queens available. Wouldn't it be safe to rest in the future?!

"So, in a moment of impatience, the granddaughter wanted her grandmother to praise her, so she made her own decision and asked her to forgive her."

As she spoke, she knelt down.

The eldest princess wanted to use this granddaughter to attract more "cornucopias", so she could only hold back her anger and said: "Get up, remember in the future, you must be more cautious. If we are found out, our whole family will not want to live.

"And that girl from the Li family, don't provoke her easily, I always think she is a bit evil!"

Bao Lei quickly responded obediently, and then talked about a few noble girls who went into the water today, and quickly coaxed the eldest princess to be happy again...

In the dark night, on the east gate of Xindu, soldiers were standing on the city wall with cold spears in their arms.

They rubbed their hands together and chattered tremblingly, looking forward to returning to the city tower to have a warm fire and gamble money and drink tea as soon as possible.

At this time, a soldier panicked and wanted to find a place to release it.

As a result, he urinated a lot, and suddenly found that a team of people had already rushed to the front.

He was so startled that he pissed on his feet, "There's someone, there's someone downstairs!"

He scratched his neck and only yelled, the troops had already arrived downstairs, the leader scolded: "Shut up! Ben Hou Xinting, I have a secret order!"

The rest of the soldiers, who were almost insane from fright because of the soldier's scream, hurriedly went to the commander on duty after hearing this.

Coincidentally, the commander on duty today is called Pang Fei, and he and Chen Chuan are sworn brothers.

Chen Chuan was regarded as a Taiping general.

The so-called Taiping generals are those who have never been on the battlefield, or have been on the battlefield once or twice, and have not experienced too much blood.

Chen Chuan is the latter.

And these rare one or two battles, together with today's Pang Fei, and even saved Pang Fei's life, so the two get along very well, almost like brothers.

Earlier, Chen Chuan was arrested and worked as a coolie in Suijintan.

Pang Fei has been helping to run around, hoping to open up the joints and release Chen Chuan back.

It's a pity that the matter of the Chen family was not just offending the Li family, it also involved hibiscus ointment. No matter what, Chen Chuan and the Chen family could not be let go.

During the Chinese New Year, Pang Fei specially rushed to the shack in Suijintan, and brought some food to Chen Chuan and the Chen family.

Everyone in the new village and the second village admired his loyalty and didn't stop him.

But Pang Fei still felt uncomfortable, thinking that his brother was persecuted by the Li family and Xintinghou.

Unexpectedly, Xintinghou would "fall" into his hands tonight.

It's really turning around!

He leaned on the top of the wall and looked down. There were a thousand people in the dark.

He said, "Master Hou, what's the matter with bringing so many people into the city so late at night?"
