Before finishing speaking, Su Donglou said decisively: "No, you didn't hear Tingxuan's words? On the premise of concealing the rebellion of the King of Xiangyang, he will rebel for Pingguo justly. As soon as you show this account book, it will be fine! Your lord Why do you have to raise so much money? Is he short of money? What does he want to do with so much money? It will be obvious in no time? No, no, no."
Lu Fengyu sneered and said, "You still don't admit that you are stupid. Is money enough to rebel? Soldiers, horses, food, and people's aspirations, which one can we succeed without? The prince is extravagant by nature, and the world knows it, not to mention he is far away. In the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor can't help but live the life of a happy prince. It is inevitable that there will be some illegal things. For the sake of living comfortably, it is proper to spend a lot of money on local officials or courtiers in Beijing, begging them to say something good for themselves. , although it also damages the prince's reputation, it's better than exposing his intention to rebel, right?"
This is not bad, Duan Tingxuan also knew that the courtiers privately called the King of Xiangyang the God of Wealth, using this reason, it was indeed the best of both worlds. But Su Donglou was puzzled and said: "It's just that, how do we explain it to the prince? Even if the truth is not revealed to the public, the emperor will definitely send envoys to reprimand him."
Lu Fengyu said lightly: "What is this? Anping Hou Shizi and Shizi's wife personally went to the south of the Yangtze River to take risks. If there is no purpose, they just want to experience the feeling of being a slave. Do you believe it? It's not so much that they came to spy on the prince. Heart, let the prince restless, isn't it a better reason to stand up for Pingguo justice? Anyway, now that everyone in the world knows that the wife of the son is great, and eats the little prince to death, it is right to take a risk for the father-in-law and mother-in-law .As for how we should explain to the prince? Haha! We were caught by Duan Tingxuan, and we can escape the danger if we don’t spit out something? What’s more, the young master’s people have spied on Shenxian Ridge. It’s the two of us who will use this book Duan Tingxuan's attention was diverted, and he returned to the capital happily with his wife and ledger, without any discovery of the prince's plan. This plan of abandoning the pawn to save the car is only credit and no crime in front of the prince, and the emperor's reprimand is worth it What?"
"I admire you."
Su Donglou stretched out his thumb, this sentence was sincere. Not super smart. A person who has a deep understanding of King Xiangyang. It is absolutely impossible to solve this matter to such a perfect point, so it can be said that everyone is happy. Ping Guogong can be rehabilitated. The King of Xiangyang can still dream of his dream of winning the world, and Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan can also calmly leave the dangerous land of Jiangnan.
"I'm really worried. Such a cunning person, Donglou, can you really control him? It seems that you are more than one grade stupid than others."
Su Nuannuan also sighed beside her. Sure enough, it made Su Donglou blush, but this guy soon smiled vigorously again: "Madam, you know there is a saying in martial arts, which is called one force breaks ten skills. Let him be as vicious as a snake and as cunning as a fox. My poison is forcing me, and I am caught by your irregular gourmet recipes. I don't believe he can escape from my palm."
"Don't be too confident, be careful of capsizing in the gutter."
Duan Tingxuan reminded lazily, but he knew in his heart that there must be many of these Su Donglou. Although Lu Fengyu is smart, but in the face of absolute strength. It's only for being abused. What's more, he believes that this foodie can see the future clearly, and there is no future at all for rebelling with the King of Xiangyang. The so-called four princes abdicate and rule the world with filial piety must be based on the death of the prince, but the prince With a tough temperament, he is not a person who can indulge in wine and sex. The beautiful fantasy of King Xiangyang and Lu Fengyu is just a big cake painted on the wall, which is impossible to realize.
The group parted ways. Lu Fengyu and Su Donglou returned to Hangzhou the same way, as for how to explain to King Xiangyang, that was their business. Here, Duan Tingxuan, Su Nuannuan and Siping finally took off the camouflage that had been stuck on their faces for several months, feeling refreshed, and then the three of them left Shenxianling, bought incense burners, paper money and other things in the surrounding villages, and then Came to the place where Long Pingzhang was killed that day.
Siping placed the sacrifices prepared earlier on the ground, in a hurry, they were nothing more than roasted pheasants, hares and steamed meat, and then put two bottles of good wine, and set up an incense burner, and it was all done.
Duan Tingxuan took out a joss stick and lit it, while Su Nuannuan personally burned the paper money, and saw her husband kneeling on the ground as soon as he lifted his robe, and said in a deep voice: "Pingzhang, we already know the plot of King Xiangyang, and he I also try my best to find out the big secret that I rely on. Although this matter is a bit difficult to handle, but you believe in me, I will definitely handle it well... Pingzhang, you saved the future catastrophe with your own strength, I admire you, It's a pity that I can no longer talk and laugh with you. The heavens are so cruel that I lost my confidant... Pingzhang, in order to stabilize the overall situation, the King of Xiangyang can only let him be free, but he can't be free for a lifetime, and he will lose his power in the future After that, I want him to pay in blood."
After saying this and praying three times, he took out the written sacrificial text, recited it aloud and lit it up, then wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and murmured in a deep voice: "Pingzhang, if you have a spirit under the spring, you can finally rest in peace."
Su Nuannuan was also very uncomfortable hearing her husband's heartbroken words, and secretly sighed in her heart that good people don't live long, and I feel sorry for Long Pingzhang, a good young man, maybe he will be the old minister in the imperial court of Great India in the future, and the result is like this How can it not be lamented that a rising star in the political arena has fallen in such a place where there are few people.
After worshiping Long Pingzhang, the three left Suzhou for Niutoushan. Now they don't have to hide their whereabouts. After their identities are known, even if they are swaying around in the south of the Yangtze River, the King of Xiangyang dare not do anything. After all, he has no soldiers and horses to rely on. Killing Su Nuannuan and Duan Tingxuan is of no use except to make the emperor doubt his intentions. Lu Fengyu doesn't need to point out such a harmless thing, and the King of Xiangyang can think about it himself. come over.
Three days later, a group of three people left the boundary of Suzhou and entered Songjiang Mansion.
In fact, they don't need to go to Niutoushan, as long as they return to Beijing and submit the account books, even if the emperor can't let go of his face and rebel for the peace of the country, at least he can pardon their crime of exile and recall them to live in Beijing. Yes, why rush at this moment? The reason why he had to rush over was because Duan Tingxuan knew about Su Nuannuan's life experience, and wanted to take her around outside to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Great Indian Dynasty.
According to geographical comparison, Songjiang Prefecture should be our Shanghai in the 21st century. However, in this era, although it is already a prosperous city, it is far from the status of Shanghai in modern China. At least if you rank the cities of the Great Indian Dynasty, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou are far ahead of Songjiang Prefecture.
After walking on the street for a long time, Su Nuannuan was a little tired, so the three of them found a large and stylish inn, and when they were about to enter, they heard a woman's voice behind them: "Brother Aniu, I After thinking about it, let's not go to Fangji cloth shop. The cotton cloth there is very expensive. You can pull a foot of red cloth for two or three pennies in the market. Why do you have to go to the cloth shop to buy it? We have this It’s better to save some money and spend some money.”
In the past few months in the south of the Yangtze River, I am used to Wu Nong's soft language, but when I heard this accent similar to the capital, Su Nuannuan felt a little kind, and couldn't help but look back. Just behind them, a man and a woman were standing by the stall in front of the inn, waiting to buy steamed buns. It should be this beautiful woman who spoke just now.
However, although the woman is beautiful, it is the young man who looks twenty-three or four-year-old who really catches Su Nuannuan's eyes.
Although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes that didn't fit well, and there was only a thin wooden stick sticking out of his hair, but standing by the booth, this man actually showed a bit of Yuan Ting Yue Zhi's demeanor. Not to mention a young farmer, even an official from the Mushou side who has read poetry and books, may not have this temperament, let alone the man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he should be the outstanding appearance of the hero of the novel at first glance.
Probably seeing Su Nuannuan looking at her, the girl stuck out her tongue quietly, smiled at Su Nuannuan with some embarrassment, and then turned her head away. At this time, Duan Tingxuan and Siping had already stepped into the inn. Although Su Nuannuan had a good impression of this couple, but when they met by chance, she was too embarrassed to strike up a conversation, so she smiled at the girl, and then entered the inn.
Then I heard the young man say: "How can I say this is only once in a lifetime, how can I buy those second-rate goods in the market? Money can be saved in the future, so let's spend what should be spent now."
As soon as these words came out, Su Nuannuan didn't feel anything, but Duan Tingxuan, who was a step in front of her, suddenly stopped, and then turned around suddenly, looking at the young man and woman outside the door, his face was full of displeasure. A look of disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Su Nuannuan wondered, but seeing her husband's lips trembling, and seeing that the couple bought two steamed buns and were about to leave, he suddenly yelled: "Pingzhang...is that you? Really is it you?"
While speaking, he rushed out quickly, grabbed the young man who had already walked a few steps, and when the other party turned around, he looked him up and down carefully, and then said excitedly: "Yes, it's you, Long Pingzhang, I didn't admit my mistake, my god, you didn't die? But you... But why did you ignore me when I called you? You..."
Having said this, the young master finally calmed down, looked suspiciously at the young man again, and asked tentatively: "Pingzhang, you...you don't recognize me?"
The young man had been looking at Duan Tingxuan, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and he murmured after a while: "Tingxuan... are you... Tingxuan?"
"Yes, it's me, it's me." When Duan Tingxuan saw that his best friend recognized him, he was overjoyed, held Long Pingzhang's hand tightly, and asked like a cannonball: "You... are you dead? Did you come back alive? Why are you living in Songjiang County? Why haven’t there been any news in the past few months? The King of Xiangyang has not been able to cover the sky with one hand in the south of the Yangtze River? , He is the magistrate in Yangzhou, you explain the situation to him, are you afraid that he will not be able to escort you back to Beijing? Why are you quietly in Songjiang? Looking for opportunities to turn things around is not such a way."
