With the unfavorable war ahead, the price of food has doubled. In just three days, the price of food has risen five times. When the grain rises, other things naturally start to rise. Some people rob them without eating, and no one dares to go to the streets to buy grain, because even if they buy grain, they will be robbed.
Brother Zheng was robbed on the way back from the college. Brother Zheng felt that life was more important than money, so he was very cooperative. Not only did he ask the young man to take out his wallet, he also gave him all the valuable things on his body. The other party also begged for money, and left after seeing it.
But Yu Rong was so scared that he had lost half of his life: "From today on, I can't go anywhere, just stay at home."
Actually, there is no need to say from Yu Rong. After this incident, Zheng Zheng didn't dare to go out: "Mother, this time is even worse than last year." Although there was a disturbance last year, the public order on the street was still okay. But now there are people robbed in the street, and he is also terrified.
Yu Rong quickly called Mr. Gao over and said, "Mr. Gao, should we leave here?"
Mr. Gao shook his head and said: "The Northwest Army has hit Shimen. The news has now spread. Now the people outside are in a panic and it's not suitable to go out for the time being."
"What should I do? Just wait like this?" She didn't want to stay here for a moment.
Mr. Gao said: "The court will not let them go on like this. It will definitely take measures soon. When the outside is calmer, we will move over."
Although Mr. Gao is old, with him, Yu Rong is equivalent to having a backbone: "I listen to you, Mr.".
Naturally, Yan Wushuang would not let the chaos in the capital go down, and soon transferred the 50,000 soldiers from the forward battalion to the capital. In addition to the fifty thousand soldiers and horses led by Tie Kui, one hundred thousand horses patrolled all corners of the capital. Caught the rapist and beheaded on the spot. Under such iron-blooded wrists, no one with a guilty heart dare to move.
Zhong Shantong said, "Master, do you think the emperor will bring Xiaoqi Camp back to Liaodong?"
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "That's not true." Fang Xiaofeng is Yan Wushuang's confidant, so he didn't let Fang Xiaofeng be contaminated with the blood of innocent people.
After a pause, Tie Kui said, "Fang Xiaofeng probably won't stay, but I don't know who the emperor will let him stay."
Zhong Shantong said: "No matter who it is, he will not stay voluntarily." There is a dead end. In this case, no one wants to stay. Therefore, Tie Kui also showed a gesture of reluctance to stay.
Tie Kui said, "I can't do anything at this time." Yan Wushuang would find out a little bit. After so many years of caution, he didn't want to capsize at the last minute.
After talking about business matters, fellow Zhong Shan said: "Aunt Lu has taken it back, and now she lives in the original yard."
Tie Kui said, "I'll see her later." If it weren't for Fang Hui and Fang Jia, he didn't want to see Aunt Lu at all.
Aunt Lu spent a few months in Zhuangzi, not only was she not haggard, but she was also more energetic.
Tie Kui said: "Tong has already told you? The emperor wants Fang Hui and Fang Jia to go to Shengjing. I am worried that no one will take care of them on the way, so I let you follow."
Aunt Lu did not answer this, but looked at Tie Kui directly. The look is very complicated, inquiring and doubtful.
Tie Kui frowned and said, "Just say anything."
After a long silence, Aunt Lu asked, "Why don't the madam, the eldest girl and the second girl go to Shengjing?"
"Why don't you know? If it weren't for you, how could Madam's body still be ill?" Tie Kui was angry when he said this. Although Xiao did not worry about his life, eating so much saffron caused great harm to his body. Even if he was cured, his body would not be as good as before.
Aunt Lu stared at Tie Kui and asked, "Is that really the case?" Before Tie Kui could say anything, Aunt Lu said, "I have been thinking a lot on Zhuangzi during this period. Master, you obviously don't love money but you show one. The vice-vision Cai looks like life. He obviously doesn't like me, but he still shows the appearance of doting on his concubine and destroying his wife. He is also very cautious and unusually guarded against the emperor..."
Tie Kui's face became uglier as he listened, and finally interrupted Aunt Lu's words intolerably: "What are you going crazy again? If you don't want to go to Shengjing and say it straight."
Aunt Lu didn’t seem to hear these words, and continued: "Master, I have been with you for so many years. I used to hope that you can pet me and love me, so many things have been deliberately ignored by me. Master, what are you? who?"
Hearing this, Tie Kui looked impatient: "Who do you think I am?"
Aunt Lu said, "You are from King Ming, and you have taken refuge in King Ming a long time ago, right?" When she said this, Aunt Lu didn't lower her voice. From this point, it can be seen that Aunt Lu is resentful in her heart.
Tie Kui's face was green and said: "Do you know what will happen to me if this is known to outsiders? You hate me so much that you want me to die?"
Aunt Lu did not expect Tie Kui to admit that Tie Kui has been cautious for so many years. She is not so naive as to think that she can swindle by relying on two sentences: "I didn't want to inform, I just want to keep Fang Hui and Fang Jia Life."
Tie Kui said coldly: "I am so old that only Ahui and Ajia have two heirs. If they have a son, our Tie family will be extinct." The meaning is very simple, just these two sons, he will definitely protect them. of.
Aunt Lu was worried, and said, "Ruyi and Ruhui must follow us to Shengjing."
Tie Kui had lost his patience and said, "If you don't want to follow to Shengjing, I won't force you." After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.
Aunt Lu gave in when she saw this: "Then let Ruhui go with her." What she hates most is Ruhui. If she followed them to Shengjing, she would be able to express the evil in her heart on the way.
Disgust flashed in Tie Kui’s eyes: “If you’re willing to pack up, take Fang Hui and Fang Jia three days later. If you don’t, I will send you to Zhuangzi again.”
Aunt Lu said without giving up: "Aren't you afraid that I will go to the emperor to tell the truth?"
Maybe Aunt Lu had guessed something, but she had no evidence. The things that poisoned Xiao's were before, and it was hard to believe what she said.
Tie Kui said, "You can tell the emperor these words and see if the emperor will believe you?" Aunt Lu hadn't noticed any abnormalities in the Iron Mansion for so many years, but she found abnormalities when she went to Zhuangzi. Yan Wushuang would not believe her words. , Will only think that she is for revenge.
Aunt Lu's face turned purple with anger.
Tie Kui didn't have a trace of low temperature in his eyes and said, "I spared you last time because of Ahui and Ajia's sake. If you dare to commit another crime, I will kill you."
Aunt Lu shivered with fright.
Maid Shuiyin walked in and was shocked to see Lu's appearance: "Auntie, what's the matter with you?"
Aunt Lu shook Shuiyin's hand and said, "I just told your suspicions. Master asked me to tell the emperor." Outsiders saw Shuiyin was brought into the mansion by Aunty Lu, in fact Shuiyin was Yan Wushuang. People.
Shuiyin asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Aunt Lu looked tired: "You should have heard the conversation between me and the master just now. If you don't believe it, I can't help it." She didn't lower her voice to talk to Tie Kui, but Tie Kui's voice was. As big as usual. Not to mention that water sounds have martial arts, even ordinary people can hear it clearly.
Shui Yin said, "I will report back to the emperor later." She had some doubts about Tie Kui, but there was no evidence. Suspicion alone was not enough.
Aunty Lu took Shuiyin's hand and said, "Ayin, come with me to Shengjing! Then, we will have a companion on the road." Aunty Lu is dead for Tie Kui, and she doesn't expect her husband and wife to be in love or anything. , Now I just want to keep my two sons safe and sound.
Shui Yin shook his head and said, "Auntie, you should know, this is not something I can decide." Everything must be arranged by the person above.
Tie Kui went back to the study with a dark face, and then there was no sound in the room for a while. After a while, Tie Kui called Zhong Shantong into the room.
"Master, Auntie Lu will be leaving in two days. No matter what she says, don't worry about her." After going, I don't know if I can come back alive.
Tie Kuiduo was a shrewd man, and the more he thought about it on the way back, the more he felt that things were wrong. Aunt Lu is a clever person, even if she suspected that she would never say these words for the sake of her two sons. Unless, someone forced her.
There was no other person besides Yan Wushuang who could persecute Aunt Lu.
Zhong Shantong's face changed drastically: "Master, did Yan Wushuang suspect us?" After finishing speaking, Zhong Shantong shook his head and said, "Should it not?" They were very careful during this period, and they even broke the connection with Falcon.
Tie Kui showed sarcasm on his face and said, "If I hadn't guessed, I'm afraid it's not just me performing such a scene here."
Zhong Shantong didn't understand.
Tie Kui said: "Yan Wushuang should be testing me. If I have a ghost in my heart, I can't keep calm at this time. If I am in a hurry, I will make mistakes." Once I was caught, I was afraid that the whole family would follow through.
"Master, in this situation, there should be a lot of people in the court secretly taking refuge in King Ming." I just don't know if Gui Sanliang has taken refuge in King Ming. If you take refuge and don't maintain your composure at this time, it will be a dead end.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Although Gui Sanliang is lustful, he is very filial, and his parents, wife, children, and relatives are all in Liaodong. Therefore, he is determined not to take refuge in King Ming."
Zhong Shan nodded at the same time: "Master, the Shuiyin next to Aunt Lu is also from Yan Wushuang. Aunty Lu is the biological mother of the eldest young master and the second young master, so naturally it won't harm them. But this Shuiyin is uncertain. Up."
Tie Kui said, "When we are on the road, let our people get rid of her on the road." Aunt Lu is the mother of his two sons, and she will not kill her no matter how disgusted. But this sound of water, he would not tolerate it.
Gui Sanliang did not take refuge in Ming Wang, but his favorite concubine was a fortune. Gui Sanliang told the concubine everything that shouldn't be said, and the concubine used the news to sell money. After the incident was found out, Gui Sanliang cut off her head with a single knife, and then took the head of the concubine until Yan Wushuang faced Jing to plead guilty.
Now this is an eventful autumn, Yan Wushuang did not take his official position into captivity, but just scolded him: "If there is another time, I will definitely want your head."
Gui Sanliang thought that he was in danger of escape, but he didn't expect to pass it so easily: "Thank you, the emperor, Longen."
Meng Nian said to Yan Wushuang after learning about it: "The emperor, our people have tested Tie Kui and found nothing wrong."
Yan Wushuang was not surprised, but just asked, "What do you think of letting Gui Sanliang stay in the capital?" Although Tie Kui had no problems, he was still worried. Sometimes, intuition is really scary.
Meng Nian disagreed: "The emperor, Tie Kui is also the two sons of Tie Fanghui and Tie Fangjia. I think he should not dare to betray." Seeing Yan Wushuang's expression unchanged, Meng Nian said: "Doctor Zhang It is said that Tiekui hurts the foundation, even if he takes the medicine given by the emperor, it will be difficult for him to have another heir in the future."
Yan Wushuang's expression changed slightly: "Does Tiekui know about this?"
Meng Nian nodded and said, "Doctor Zhang told him, but Tie Kui said that he has two sons and two daughters, so it doesn't matter if he can no longer have heirs." This is also normal people's thinking.
Yan Wushuang didn't speak anymore.
Meng Nian thought for a while and said, "The emperor, if you don't worry about Tie Kui, just leave Gui Sanliang to defend the city with him."
Yan Wushuang said: "Tie Kui has a deep mind. If he is really wrong, Gui Sanliang is not his opponent. You have to think about this." Fang Xiaofeng will not stay, but one must be kept to contain Tie. Kui people. Otherwise, if Tie Kui surrendered, it would be tantamount to surrendering the capital.
Meng Nian didn’t understand why Yan Wushuang still didn’t believe in Tie Kui. He had no choice but to say: "The emperor, the capital will definitely not be able to be held by that time. It is more for us to keep one more general who can fight in the capital. A loss." Yun Qing is a powerful general under his hand, Ruyun, who can be very powerful in any battle; however, there are only so few generals who can fight. If you fold one, you will lose one.
Yan Wushuang still didn't make up his mind: "Look again."
Meng Nian knew that if he said too much, Yan Wushuang would be offended, so he didn't say more.
All changes in the capital were transmitted to Haocheng in the fastest time. After reading the secret letter, Yuxi felt very heavy.
The capital is fairly stable now, but bandits and robbers outside the city do everything they want to burn, kill, and looting. The Zhuangzi where Yuxi lived in the previous life was robbed and killed by robbers. Although she escaped, she died in the end.
Thinking of this, Yuxi couldn't help saying: "I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled person." In troubled times, no one takes human life seriously, and ordinary people are the most pitiful.
The ministers standing in the room didn't understand why Yuxi made such a sigh.
Tan Tuo guessed what was said in the secret letter, and immediately stood up and said: "When the world is settled, all the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Putting down the secret letter, Yuxi said: "I hope this day will be as soon as possible." It is impossible for the world to settle down in a short time.
Next, the ministers looked at Yuxi's mood obviously not high, seeing this situation, everyone became more careful.
