Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

Chapter 40 Omen

Tossing and turning until dawn, I have no sleep all night, but what should come will always come...

"Xu Zifang, don't hang around when you wake up, pack your things and get ready to go!"

Thinking back then, I wasn’t so frightened when I hid from the renter-in-law?

This person always loves to think wildly when he can't sleep, and all kinds of things last night are all in front of his eyes...

Looking at the face magnified countless times in front of me, my head was a little stuck for a while, so I had no choice but to let Yunxuan gently search between my lips and tongue...

After a long time, he let go of me with unsatisfactory intentions. I didn't dare to look directly at his expression, so I had no choice but to run away.

However, as soon as he got off the roof, he saw Xiao Shun.He approached me with great concern, I was startled and subconsciously avoided.

With a puzzled face on his face, he raised the lantern and moved closer to my face: "I heard from Xiaodie that you guys are awake, so come over and have a look. Why are your faces so red and you haven't woken up from the wine yet?"

I hesitated for a long time and prevaricated.

He suddenly took my hand and said hesitantly, "Zi Fang, there is something I don't know how to say..."

At this moment, I was listening from east to west, and said something random: "If there is anything to talk about, don't worry." Then I rushed back to the room and locked the door behind me, not paying attention to Xiaoshun's long sigh behind me.

Lying on the bed, I carefully recalled the events of the past few days, and suddenly thought that he seems to be a womanizer...

I never took this matter too seriously. I always thought of him as a thin-skinned man who wanted to pretend to be a gentleman with a swollen face. Now that I think about it carefully, he really passed out that night in front of the Cangchun Building. Could it be...

But I've been thinking about these things for a long time here, but I'm just a person who is sentimental, just like drinking white water, after all, only he can know whether it's warm or not.

Thinking wildly like this, the whole night passed, until the morning sun pierced my eyes like needles, I rubbed my sore and dry eyes, and somehow felt like a big girl in Huaichun.

The scenes from last night still kept lingering in my mind. I waved my hands like chasing flies, but I couldn't get those pictures out of my mind no matter what.The thought of having to face Yunxuan later made me feel uncomfortable.

However, when I went downstairs and saw Yun Teng sitting in the hall as if nothing had happened, drinking porridge by the stove, all my discomfort turned into itchy teeth.

I couldn't hold back my anger, and stepped forward to snatch the bowl from his hand.Good you Yunxuan, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night, but you are good, you should eat and sleep, you are very happy.

He looked up at me, and Mance took the bowl from my hand in an orderly manner: "What are you doing, so early in the morning, have you eaten firecrackers?"

I was almost pissed off by him: "You..." But as soon as I said it, I regretted it.Don't say this to the public, even if I ask him some things alone, I can't hold back my face!

Sure enough, he always knew how to deal with me, narrowed his eyes and asked lazily, "What are you doing?"

I sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to surrender, "What are you going to do next, okay?" As long as I had a good eye contact with him, no matter how I fought this battle, it was destined to be Confucius moving.

He answered me with a smile, and the events of last night were just like this: "It's not interesting to stay in the south of the Yangtze River. The Queen Mother will not be unaware of our trip to the south. Go back and listen to what she has to say!"

What Yun Rong said was that he wanted me to be a fool, so don't fall behind for the time being.

I always feel that this approach is somewhat unkind, but right now Xiao Luo and the Empress Dowager are both arguing the truth of justice, and I can't make a decision right now, so I just choose such a compromise.

There seemed to be something wrong with Xiao Luo's subordinates, and they rushed over before dawn. Xiao Shun was not surprised when he heard that we were leaving, and only said that he would visit us again after a while.

It hadn't been a few days since Yunxuan and I crossed the south, and then we embarked on the road back to the north.

When we went back, Xiaoshun arranged luxurious carriages and horses for us. The journey was leisurely and joyous, as if traveling in mountains and rivers. In addition, as we got closer and closer to the north, several roads were blocked by heavy snow. It's useless to be anxious with Yunfeng, so he just cared about eating, drinking and having fun, and visited most of the places of interest along the way.As the year approached, we finally arrived at the outskirts of the capital.

Along the way, my relationship with him was quite harmonious. We fought and quarreled and quarreled when we had nothing to do, as if nothing happened that night.

He didn't mention it, so I tacitly didn't ask.Gradually, I began to suspect that maybe he was just drunk that night and didn't know what he did.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and more people are sneaking around and causing trouble. The investigation at the gate of the city has become much stricter. We stayed in an inn outside the city and planned to enter the city tomorrow. At this time, an earth-shattering news came out—— Wu Manrong, the servant of the household department, corrupted the law and caused several deaths. The court thoroughly investigated the case in a rage, and the evidence was conclusive, and all his families were executed.

I haven't read many books, and I don't know about these intrigues in the officialdom. I just vaguely feel that this event is not a small one. It is probably as rare as the Jade Emperor marrying a landlady.

Of course, it was Yun Rong's turn to worry about this matter. He had read a lot of books since he was a child, and he was well versed in some official principles.

"I'm afraid your old lady won't have time to see you before the Chinese New Year." He only left a meaningful sentence.

As soon as I heard his tone, I knew he had something to say, so I quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

He took a sip of tea leisurely and explained to me: "Wu Manrong is cousin Liu's godson, and he can barely be regarded as her nephew's son. Your brother Yue is clenching his teeth this time and intending to do something cruel."

I recalled it carefully, and it seems that I have heard of this person.Wu Manrong is not much older than me, and his appearance is imposing, but it is a pity that his appearance is empty, and he has nothing but flattery.He can achieve that position in his [-]s, not because he has a few talents, but because he has a good father and a good godfather.

He said it clearly, and I understood that in recent years, the government has been corrupted, and Wu Manrong is definitely not the only one who is corrupt and perverted the law. What's more, in normal times, the lives of a few ordinary people are probably not worth the ant's release in the eyes of those powerful eunuchs. Shit, this time, even his two "fathers" couldn't cover it up, instead it caused such an uproar, which is enough to show that the people above are serious about it.

Yue Lun, or Yan Yin to be precise, would not be willing to be a puppet emperor for the rest of his life.Mu Monkey has been crowned for many years, I am afraid that he is just trying his best.According to this posture of determined to win, it may not be far away to rise up and resist that dynasty.

But then again, I'm really not interested in these people's intrigue, so I simply asked straight to the point: "Then this has nothing to do with us?"

He also answered me very straight to the point: "I don't know."

I sighed: "I can only take one step at a time."
