"Did something really happen?!"
Lao Wangtou has long noticed that something is wrong today. There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. How can the street be so quiet!
Thinking that Kaifeng Mansion had been taken down, everyone had gone shopping to pay homage to their ancestors. Fearing that they would be left behind like last time, they quickly called King Ji Wu and Xiao Er to go shopping.
As a result, as soon as the two of them left, a few soldiers carrying knives came behind them, shouting that there was something big to be announced tomorrow, and no one was allowed to open the door to receive guests today... Fortunately, Lao Wangtou gave him a few hundred dollars, but in the end he had to He said, 'You'll know tomorrow', and he was so angry that after these people left, he cursed his mother.
But when his two sons came back, the three of them calculated it together and figured out a lot of clues.
"My godfather also knows that since His Majesty moved to Lin'an City, where has the Qiantang Gate been closed? Even when the golden dog came to Mingzhou last time, what happened on the West Lake was still what it is today. It has never been like this Such a scene... If nothing happened, I, Ji Wu, would have given my head to the waiter as a kick."
Wang Xiaoer had no intention of kicking him in the head, but just echoed:
"What Fifth Brother said is that not only the Qiantang Gate, but also several water gates were closed. I also secretly went to the palace, but guess what? Even the gates of the imperial city were closed!"
"My son is not trying to scare you. I saw with my own eyes that many eunuchs and imperial city guards were taken away to other places... To be honest, I still feel a little scared. These soldiers are not serious soldiers at first glance. They all look like bandits.”
Lao Wang lowered his head and thought for a long time:
"The last time Yingzhou City was destroyed, I was never so nervous. Could it be..."
A bad thought came into his mind, which shocked himself.
But looking at Ji Wu and Wang Xiaoer, he knew that they were thinking of the same thing as him, so he cursed:
"Don't think wildly! How can something unexpected happen to someone with a prosperous official family?"
The two of them didn't say anything. Seeing that Lao Wangtou said it himself, they could only sigh.
The three of them had closed the doors and windows, and were thinking about asking for news inside the palace. After all, their daughter was still there. What Wang Xiaoer said was so scary that it made people feel uneasy.
He also thought that Lin'an Prefecture Yin Xin Ciying had a close relationship with the emperor. After all, the emperor used this identity to recognize everyone. The old Wangtou knew that Ji Wu was thick-skinned, so he asked him to go to the government office to investigate. Wang Xiaoer, if you go to the palace again and know that the eldest sister is fine, everyone will have a good sleep tonight.
Just do it. He gave each person a tael of silver and told him:
"They say the kid is difficult to deal with. Just spend some money when it's time to spend it. This can save you a lot of trouble."
It was rare for the two of them to see Lao Wangtou like this, and their hearts were full of nervousness about the vague crisis. Even the smooth-tongued Ji Wu stopped thinking, received the money, and went west and east with Wang Xiaoer. Everyone went to do their own work.
But as soon as he stepped out of the street, he immediately saw a person... He felt that this person was very familiar. When he walked away, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Ji Wu's mind...
That dwarf, when Zhang Tonggu died that day, he sneaked into the Sifang Pavilion and saw this man with his own eyes!
Not to mention, when Qin Hui was being tortured that day, this kid was lying next to him, and he almost slapped him!
This is a golden man!
The Jin people were nothing, but now there were Jin people in Lin'an City, and they were mixed with the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Although he didn't know what the two together meant, Ji Wu only knew that he should follow them.
He didn't dare to go any closer. He waited for these people to walk towards Tianzong Water Gate for a long time, then stopped when they were about to cross the bridge and went into a house... Ji Wu's response to Lin'an City The familiarity was tight, and when he saw the place they entered, the inexplicable feeling in his heart became stronger, but he just didn't know what was wrong, and he became more and more irritable.
This is nowhere else but Yue Shaobao's residence in Lin'an.
Ji Wu gritted his teeth and touched the back of the house... Originally Marshal Yue's home was not far from Sibei Tower. This house was specially gifted by the officials when he returned to Lin'an this year. It was said that it was originally intended to be used as a temple. Yes, the officials saw that Yue Fei didn't look like a rich man, so they regarded this place as his home.
Could it be that... Marshal Yue invested money?
It's really not Ji Wu's fault. His simple brain really received too much information, so he can only draw a simple inference. Even if Lao Wangtou is here, the two of them probably have similar ideas.
After the war between the two countries, the Jin people appeared in Lin'an, and the Jin people even visited Yue Shaobao's home. It's that simple.
Reason told him that this was the case, but he refused to believe it, and thinking that his brother-in-law trusted Yue Shaobao so much, he would never do such a thing.
Ji Wu used the willow tree outside the wall and climbed in in two or three times.
The house was very big, but most of it was empty, so it wasn't difficult to find. He sneaked to the front hall and squatted down like he did in Sifang Pavilion last time, putting his ear against the door.
"My wife is a role model for women in the world. When the country was in danger, she encouraged her children to join the army and gave us a good general in the Song Dynasty. This merit can be earned even if she enters a temple and builds a shrine."
This voice sounded like a slap in the face. Ji Wu stood up carefully and looked through the hole in the door, only to see that the speaker was a lunatic.
Playing with a folding fan in the middle of winter is not a lunatic, so what else is it?
And the old lady sitting in front of him must be Yue Shaobao's mother... Ji Wu came a little late, and had not heard many of the previous words. At this time, he was very alert, for fear of missing something. One word.
"The prince is joking. I'm just a prostitute. How dare I think about entering a temple and setting up a shrine... My son serves the country, but he also fulfills his duty. He is a Han, so he can't go to the Jin people." .”
This person clearly heard the sarcasm in Mrs. Yao's words, and his face couldn't help twitching, but he still managed a smile:
"Yue Shaobao is indeed a loyal minister and good general. In this case, Taifu should advise him to focus on the general trend and not to swim against the current, so as not to get into trouble. Even if the king wants to protect him, he will be afraid that others will not allow him."
Mrs. Yao Tai, who was rewarded by the emperor with a crested crutch, managed to stand up. Li Wa on the side saw her and quickly went up to support her.
"I don't know what the general trend is that the prince is talking about. I am stupid, so I hope you can clarify it."
"Since the Song and Jin Dynasties have signed the peace treaty, they are friendly neighbors and brotherly states... By betraying the alliance, the officials have already lost their morality first, and now they should recognize their mistakes and change them. This will not damage the friendship between the two countries."
The madam was more than a head shorter than this one. After hearing what he said, she moved forward several steps on crutches, until she was almost a foot away from him, and then she raised her head and looked at him.
The man subconsciously wanted to retreat, but he was worried about losing face, so he stood still:
"Madam, what are you..."
"I am old and my eyesight is dim. I just want to get closer and see the prince's appearance clearly."
"This... I have nothing to see, Madam, let's get down to business. Who in the world doesn't know that Yue Shaobao values filial piety the most. As long as you write a letter to him, he will definitely come back... In this way, you can avoid creating a Big mistake, Madam also saved his life, so why not do it when you get the best of both worlds?"
Mrs. Yao shook her head: "I don't want to see if the prince looks good, I just want to see..."
Her voice suddenly rose several points, not to mention the person in front of her, even Li Wa was startled.
"Look what kind of person can say such ignorant and shameless words, without a king, no father, no country and no home!"
Although he has a thin and small body, he seems to have infinite power.
The prince waited for a while before he could speak, but there was no respect in his words.
"The emperor has been surrounded by Jin people in Yingzhou. He is in a desperate situation. I will ascend the throne on a certain day. Do you know the consequences of talking to me like this?"
Mrs. Yao looked at him as if she were a humble insect. Although she didn't curse, it was more humiliating than any other curse words.
"You...you stupid woman, you don't know how to praise me! I came to persuade you with good intentions, but you made such a gesture. Why, if I really thought that I was kind-hearted, wouldn't I do anything to you?!"
"You know..." Mrs. Yao suddenly spoke, her tone still as gentle as when they first entered.
The prince couldn't hear clearly and just asked: "What did you say?"
"Did you know that when my son came home to see me privately because he was controlled by Du Chong, I tattooed four words on his back?"
"Not many people have heard of it. I wonder what four words it is?"
Mrs. Tai said every word: "Quality, loyalty, repayment to the country!"
These four words seemed to have great power. Each word fell into this room, making it quieter.
This group of uninvited guests all looked at each other, as if they were overwhelmed by these four words.
Even the golden dwarf was the same. He seemed to be frightened. Although he was the first to regain his composure, his shock just now was clearly seen by Ji Wu.
Zhao Shicheng was extremely angry. This was the third family that he had hit a wall in succession... He originally thought that Taiwei Zhang was a bad person, so his family must be the best to deal with.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he walked in and told his purpose of coming, he would be insulted by his sons in turn.
When we went to Han Shizhong's house, that girl Liang Hongyu even picked up a stick.
It's fine now. When I came to Yue Fei's house, I was humiliated like this again.
Zhao Shicheng just couldn't figure it out. He could give what Lao Jiu could give, and he could give more. What were these people insisting on?
Do you really think you are easy to talk to?
Seeing that he was stunned, the short man stood forward, saluted Mrs. Yao, and then said:
"Mrs. Tai is so knowledgeable and insightful, even juniors admire her, but now it is a matter of centuries-long matter for both countries, and it is indeed very rare to be born late."
"In this case... I can only borrow one thing from the Madam."
Mrs. Yao turned her face away and ignored him.
But he didn't care at all, and continued: "I heard that Yue Shaobao just got a daughter the year before last, and he loves this apple of his life the most..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Wa shouted:
"What do you want to do?!"
"Madam, don't be anxious. I don't want to do anything. It's just that the situation is overwhelming. If we directly ask Yue Shaobao to come back, he will definitely not obey. There must be some tokens."
As they were talking here, several people had already brought up several younger members of the Yue family... They had been taught by Yue Fei since they were young, and they had elder brothers like Yue Yun. Although they were facing the unknown at this time, they were still crying. None, just looking at his grandmother and mother.
It seemed like the sky wouldn't fall even if the two of them were there.
Chaozi watched for a long time, and finally squatted down in front of Yue Yinping... He gently touched her face. Li Wa was about to rush forward, but someone stopped her hands and stopped her from moving. No.
"Madam, I told you not to rush. I'm worried about scaring your daughter."
This little girl was only a little over two years old. She looked confused and couldn't tell anything at all.
The short man hugged her and shook his head helplessly:
"After looking at it for a while, she had no other features except for a mark on her hand. But this mark... I really don't know how to remove it without cutting it off with a knife."
"If I don't take it, I'm worried that Yue Shaobao won't believe me. Oh, it's really embarrassing!"
To be honest, Chaozi didn't really intend to cut off a piece of meat. He just did it to force his mother-in-law.
He did not believe that this old man would watch his granddaughter suffering without being moved.
Even Zhao Shicheng was shocked by these words. He was about to speak, but was stopped by the short man's eyes... He didn't want to offend Yue Fei, and he didn't want to offend a general with a heavy army.
But with the current situation, if we don't establish our authority, I'm afraid the next few companies we're going to go to will be even more troublesome.
After a pause, he still couldn't speak.
"mother……"
With tears in her eyes, Li Wa looked to Mrs. Yao for help, but the latter closed her eyes as if she hadn't heard anything.
If it weren't for her tightly knitted brows and the trembling hand holding the crutch, I might have thought she was in trance.
The dwarf pulled out the dagger from his waist and gently scratched Yue Yinping's hand with the handle. Seeing that the old lady seemed to have made up her mind, he kept sighing secretly.
Why bother?
Just when he was thinking about whether to change the method, after all, it was impossible for normal people to do this to such a young child.
Ji Wu kicked open the side door.
Everyone's eyes fell on him, but he didn't feel anything wrong at all. He just looked at the short man and then at Zhao Shicheng:
"Fuck your mother."
After Prince Yongjia was yelled at by Mrs. Yao, his reaction is still slow.
He looked at this uninvited guest:
"Who are you, why are you here, and what do you want to do?!"
After asking three questions in a row, Ji Wu answered them all:
"I'm your father!"
"My son is here, so I am here."
"What do you want to do...I have already said that I want to..."
"Fuck your mother!"
