San Pao rushed over and said, "Anyway, we are idle when we are idle. Why don't we come here to help you look after your home and care for your home? Your whole family is good to us, to our fellow villagers, to our village, and all the villages in the ten miles are thinking of you." Wow……"
Sanpao stood there and spoke as if he was giving an endorsement, but his eyes secretly glanced at Yang Ruoqing, and tears were about to leak out of his eyes.
This is scary.
The same was true for Gensheng and Tiansheng. Their legs were trembling as they stood there. Seeing Yang Huazhong's unwillingness to nod, the two brothers wanted to kneel down in front of Yang Huazhong and the others.
Yang Huazhong came to Yang Ruoqing and lowered his voice, "Qing'er, this..."
"Dad, I think our family is indeed short of manpower. Just accept their kindness. Otherwise, they won't be able to sleep well or eat. Right, Brother Sanpao? How many elder brothers are there?"
Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile.
Her smile was really as bright as the spring breeze, but in the eyes of the three brothers, it was undoubtedly the smile of a devil.
"Yes, yes, Qing'er is right, Qing'er still understands us." Sanpao said quickly.
Seeing this, Yang Huazhong didn't have much to say. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do the hard work for you guys. Come over at night!"
So, starting from that night, Yang Huazhong and his family slept soundly in the house, while San Pao Gensheng and Tian Sheng, the third brother, patrolled the front and back yards of Yang Huazhong's house.
When you feel sleepy, you can wrap yourself in clothes and play for a while in the corner outside the yard, or pull out a bundle of thatch for cushioning.
In this way, after three nights in a row, Yang Huazhong and Sun couldn't bear it anymore and found Yang Ruoqing.
"Qing'er, I think this punishment is enough. They shouldn't dare to steal our house again. Otherwise, let them go back?" Sun discussed with Yang Ruoying.
Yang Huazhong also nodded repeatedly, "It's been very cold these nights. When I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, I saw a few of them wandering outside the yard. Their teeth were chattering from the cold, and the pain was almost gone. Let's stop eating. .”
Yang Ruoqing glanced at her parents. They were always the kindest couple.
"Okay, dad, just go and talk to the three of them." Yang Ruoqing said.
Yang Huazhong smiled bitterly.
Mrs. Sun was secretly amused and said, "If what your father said would work, there would be no need to come here to discuss it with you."
ah?
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyes and glanced at Yang Huazhong.
Yang Huazhong smiled honestly and said: "I told you, they seem to want you to nod before they dare to leave. My words are of no use, hehe..."
Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes, those guys are promising...
…
Helanzhou, in a barracks heavily guarded by the Luo family army.
The barracks has been transformed into a mourning hall, which is filled with white curtains. In the middle hangs a large memorial sign with white and black letters, exuding a dignified atmosphere of sadness.
At the top of the mourning hall, a bronze coffin was covered with a bright yellow brocade embroidered with a dragon.
In the mourning hall, apart from Eunuch Xu and the two young eunuchs who were close to the late emperor, Luo Fengtang was guarding the dragon coffin.
Luo Fengtang was dressed in military uniform and had a black ribbon tied to his right arm to express his condolences.
He half-knelt in front of Emperor Qi's dragon coffin, raised his hand and gently fiddled with the burning incense paper in the golden basin in front of him.
A gust of wind blew over and rolled up the ashes of the incense paper in the golden basin, scattering them down like black butterflies.
"General, the new emperor of the capital has sent people to deliver the tenth imperial edict again!"
A deputy general walked quickly into the mourning hall from outside and reported this to Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang glanced sideways slightly, his eyes stern.
"Give me the imperial edict," he said.
The deputy general quickly offered it with both hands.
Luo Fengtang took it and threw the imperial edict into the brazier without even looking at it.
The deputy general's expression was calm. Eunuch Xu next to him lowered his head and pursed his lips. He seemed to have something to say but did not dare to say more.
"Eunuch Xu, I have something to do and I will leave for a moment. I would like to ask you to stay by your side and don't let anyone else disturb your majesty's heroic spirit."
Luo Fengtang suddenly stood up and spoke to Mr. Xu fairly.
Eunuch Xu said hurriedly: "General Luo is responsible for his own business. The Za family will guard the late emperor."
Luo Fengtang turned around and walked away quickly, arriving at his study room a few rooms away. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man dressed in black waiting in the room.
The man in black, Zhou Sheng, seemed to be wrapped in a mass of black energy. Yes, this was Luo Fengtang's personal bodyguard, a master among masters.
"Ye Yi, how is the situation in the capital?" Luo Fengtang asked straight to the point after pushing the door open and entering the house.
The man named Ye Yi stood up and bowed respectfully to Luo Fengtang. Without any greetings, he reported the situation in the most accurate and concise language.
"After the eldest prince ascended the throne, a censor helped the second prince to set up a private workshop. Last year, he smuggled 10,000 kilograms of black iron from Sichuan, hired craftsmen at high prices, and secretly forged weapons."
"The eldest prince sent people to search the second prince's residence overnight, and a disassembled diagram of a weapons spectrum was seized in the second prince's study."
"The second prince was sent to imperial prison, and the second prince's concubine was imprisoned in the clan mansion while she was pregnant with Liujia."
"The thirteen-year-old Eighth Prince was dining in the palace of his mother, Concubine Zhuang, when a meatball suddenly stuck in his throat."
"By the time the imperial doctor arrived, there was no way to save him."
"The eldest prince was furious and said that Concubine Zhuang was plotting to kill the prince, so he ordered Concubine Zhuang imprisoned in the Royal Ancestral Temple. The father and son of Concubine Zhuang's natal family, Uncle Yong'an, were also beheaded. The men of Uncle Yong'an's family were exiled to the cold desert land. Female relatives sell official slaves..."
"Prince Yong'an previously served in the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities, and the vacant position has been filled by the Ninth Princess's Qin Consort..."
"The wet nurse in Concubine Hui's palace neglected her duty and took the three-year-old Twelve Prince to play in the imperial garden. The Twelve Prince accidentally fell into the lotus pond."
"When he was fished out, the twelfth prince had no breath. The wet nurse knew that she could not escape the blame, so she hanged herself."
"Concubine Hui couldn't bear this blow and was driven mad. The eldest prince ordered her to be imprisoned in the cold palace..."
Ye Yi talked one after another, Luo Fengtang put his hands behind his back, stood in front of the window and listened silently.
Ye Yi couldn't see his master Luo Fengtang's expression at this moment, but from the little bit of cold air released from his master's body and the increasingly breathless oppressive feeling in the study, Ye Yi knew that his master was very angry at this moment.
Ye Yi took a deep breath, allowing herself to withstand the pressure, and then reported the matter to completion.
After hearing everything, Luo Fengtang slowly turned around. At this time, there was no trace of anger or coldness in his body, and he was so calm that it was terrifying.
The ability to control one's emotions so well makes Yoruichi even more admired.
Ye Yi mustered up the courage to ask Luo Fengtang for instructions: "General, someone from the second prince came to ask for help from the general, saying that the second prince fell into the imperial prison and was in danger! General, please..."
