Chapter 38
Not long after the old woman sat on the ground crying, she saw a group of black-clothed men in their [-]s and [-]s come forward and surrounded her, yelling in various ways.This group of young people's brows are full of hostility, and the movements of their hands are also arrogant and unreasonable.Two people surrounded the old woman, looking at her burden, and the rest scattered around, looking for other targets.
"Old woman? Where's this month's money?" The pissed-off young man cast a glance at Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao who were standing aside, raised the corner of his eyes, and shouted, "Biyunzong is doing business, you idlers, why don't you hurry up and get out? Don't get in the way of the Lord here."
The situation in front of him is clearly that the villains in the city want to collect protection fees, which has happened in Beijing.She frowned, and the flower branch she picked up in the flower basket immediately turned into a weapon, and slapped it on the evil young man who stretched out his hand to push the old woman. "What are you? Why should I give you money?"
Young Master Evil is used to running rampant in the city, so with the name of Jade Cloud Sect, how can anyone dare to provoke him?After being shouted at by Chu Zhao, his brows were raised in anger, and the evil turned to the gallbladder. "An unruly person dares to sabotage the important events of the Biyun Sect! Come on, give me a beating!" Just after the word "hit" fell, Chu Zhao's figure was seen moving rapidly, the soles of his feet were like shooting stars, and his figure was erratic. .In an instant, I saw these evil young men fell to the ground and moaned/groaned while clutching their sore spots.
"Does this group of people have the king's law?" Ning Yuyao frowned and looked at the people lying on the ground, displeased.
"You two young masters, are you foreigners?" Seeing that the evil young men were knocked down, the old woman didn't show any joy on her face, instead she showed more intense sorrow. "It's over now, I've offended Biyun Sect, so I won't have a good life." As he said that, he stopped selling flowers, picked up his own burden, and walked away in panic.
"What's the situation?" Chu Zhao frowned, and looked down at the people who were rolling and howling on the ground, and was about to ask a question, but the group of people were frightened by Chu Zhao's eyes, and immediately ran away rolling and crawling. No care was taken to clean up the broken silver scattered on the ground.
Ning Yuyao stomped her feet, with an unhappy expression on her face: "This group of people is really hateful! Why don't you see any action from the government?"
Chu Zhao pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly and said, "Maybe it's a hard nut to crack. Hearing what they say, Biyunzong should be a Jianghu sect. The government basically turns a blind eye to matters in the Jianghu. Close one eye."
Ning Yuyao also understood the key point, but she really let it go and felt uneasy.She squinted her eyes at Chu Zhao, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Could it be left alone? This time I was beaten away by you, but come back later? Don't those peddlers only have the only way out to get rid of the disaster?"
Hearing what Ning Yuyao said, Chu Zhao was no longer in the mood to appreciate the flowers in his hands.There were traces of fragrance on the clothes, but there was an inexplicable heaviness in the fragrance. "If we want to solve it, we have to go to the source. Let's go back to the inn to find out about the Biyun Sect." The shopkeeper in the inn greeted and sent him, and he must know more than these two foreigners.
There were not many people coming and going in the inn at this time, and the shopkeeper could devote a little attention to listening to Chu Zhao and the others' questions. Naturally, it was another matter for Yin Zi's sake.
"Ah, you are looking for Biyunzong? I advise you to calm down this thought. Biyunzong is not a good place, and the people there are not easy to get along with at all." There were no mood swings, but a bit of disgust still leaked from the rolling eyes.Pressing five fingers on the abacus beads, seeing the customer's resolute attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end, he stroked his beard and sighed, "Biyunzong is a Jianghu sect in Biyun Mountain outside the city. There are all kinds of people, but they all have one characteristic, that is, they are not very reasonable. The young suzerain of their sect is a luxurious and lustful person, and he wants the best in everything. Think about it, there is such a person, plus the disciples in the sect They also have to feed themselves, and they don’t have anything to earn a living, so they can only rely on collecting protection fees and collecting some people’s fat and anointing. I heard that some people went to report to the officials at the beginning, but a team of officials went there and were beaten to pieces. That Biyun Zong’s people are still a little bit capable, so let’s think of it as a waste of money to eliminate disasters.”
Ning Yuyao asked: "Listen to you, this inn is also protected by them?"
The shopkeeper gave a wry smile, and lowered his voice, saying: "Yes, but it's also a little bit good. The people in the inn come from all over the place, so there are inevitably some conflicts, and sometimes they fight. It's up to their people to handle such scenes. Settle it. But sometimes conflicts are provoked by their people.” After a pause, he waved his hand, beckoning Chu Zhao to come closer, and then said, “Recently, Biyun Sect has come to collect rent more and more frequently. Every time the lion opens its mouth, I don’t know what’s going on. This inn will lose everything sooner or later.”
Ning Yuyao asked again: "Is there no way to deal with them?"
The shopkeeper sighed and sighed, and didn't say anything more.Even officials can't do anything about those reckless rivers and lakes, let alone poor people like them?It is said that the sea and the sky will be brighter if you take a step back, but this sea, is it the sea of bitterness or something else?
Seeing that the shopkeeper couldn't say anything, Chu Zhao turned his head and returned to his wing.Chu Zhao was contemplating along the way, until the slight movement of the door closing came to her ears, she suddenly turned around and stared at Ning Yuyao, and asked, "Princess, what do you think? Those officials can't do anything or not?" What would you like to do?"
"Shouldn't you understand this matter better?" Ning Yuyao threw the topic back to Chu Zhao. After a moment of silence, she asked again, "Do you want to go to Biyunzong to have a look?"
"Yes." Chu Zhao nodded, Ning Yuyao had already seen through her thoughts, so she no longer concealed it.
Ning Yuyao frowned, she took a step forward, took Chu Zhao's hand, and said in a deep voice: "But no one knows what's there, I don't want you to be in danger alone." She has had enough of that The feeling of being startled and suddenly relaxed is indeed a pleasure, but when a heart is tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, it is the root of all pain. "If necessary, you can ask Li Mengyang's people to go and have a look first, and let's go to the government office sometime."
Chu Zhao's eyes darkened, and he whispered, "I can't hide my identity after going this far."
Ning Yuyao pursed her lips and said nothing, her clear and cold eyes were like pear blossoms.After a faint blush appeared on Chu Zhao's face, she smiled lightly and said, "Could it be that no one knows our current identity? After all the things that happened in the past, I'm afraid someone with a heart has already investigated it? Besides, Didn’t you receive a letter from Beijing? The person who sent the letter was King Guang?”
Speaking of this letter, Chu Zhaofang received it when she arrived in Huai'an. She scanned the letter with a glance and tore the letter into pieces.I thought that Princess Zhaoyang didn't care about these things, but I didn't expect that everything was in her eyes.Sighing, Chu Zhao said with a wry smile: "Just as the princess expected, the letter was sent from Prince Guang's Mansion, and it only wrote about traveling in the mountains and rivers, and never mentioned anything about Pingchen and Beijing."
"Let's not talk about the governor of Pingchen, even King Shou who went to control the water was punished." Ning Yuyao's eyelashes trembled, she stared at Chu Zhao and smiled, "King Guang is talking about mountains and rivers at this moment." Interesting, is it really about the mountains?"
"No." Chu Zhao shook his head, looking at Ning Yuyao with a little more admiration.Although this person has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she doesn't know much about many things, but once she understands, her intelligence will be displayed.Will Princess Zhaoyang be just an ordinary princess like the eldest and second princesses?She carries the hope of the emperor on her back, right?Now that the position is clear, Chu Zhao can naturally tell who is his own. "This is the King of Light's warning. What he means is to let us immerse ourselves in the embrace of green mountains and green waters all the way, and stop meddling in our own business."
"I'm afraid it won't be as he wants." Ning Yuyao snorted coldly, a sneer flashed across her eyes.The final result of the struggle between the imperial veins is either you die or I die.Although she came from the same father, she is not a direct relative after all. Only when the position of the crown prince is preserved can her future be secure.Ning Yuyao had this kind of awareness when she urinated, she knew that those people would not regard her as a sister, and neither did she.
"This is really a problem." Chu Zhao sighed, paused, and asked again, "Princess, aren't you planning to come out for fun? With light blue and light red, the world's first-class scenery doesn't matter. Don’t you think it’s not worthwhile to throw yourself into the turbulent undercurrent instead?”
"What are you talking about?" Ning Yuyao frowned and reprimanded lightly, "If people from the Guangwang faction do something that benefits the people, why should I intervene? Where do I intervene? The hearts of the people are uneasy, should I just watch them suffer?"
Chu Zhao blinked, and asked again: "But didn't you say that people from the Tian Family are cold-blooded?"
Ning Yuyao chuckled and said, "Isn't it cold-blooded to seek the greatest benefit in everything, even by unscrupulous means? It's just that different people have different views on the word 'profit'." After the words fell, the room was silent for a moment, Ning Yuyao looked down at the hand she was shaking with her, feeling a bit of bewilderment in her heart.It's just that these emotions didn't exist for too long before they were expelled from her mind. She squinted her eyes at Chu Zhao and asked, "What are you testing?"
"Nothing?" Chu Zhao shook his head with a faint smile.She wanted to take back her hand, but she noticed that the strength in Ning Yuyao's hand suddenly increased, and a little doubt appeared in her eyes.Simply put aside all the annoying things, she changed the topic, and said briskly, "Don't worry about these things in the future, why not feel the Huai'an Huashan Festival? When the lights are shining across the galaxy, there are so many flowers. I don't know who is the flower." Where is the king of midst?"
Ning Yuyao smiled, put her hand on Chu Zhao's face, and gently stroked the brocade-smooth skin.Before Chu Zhao pressed her hand, he suddenly withdrew it, turned around, flicked his sleeve, and her laughing words came out: "Yes, I want to see the first-class demeanor among the flowers."
