Huaiyu is slightly cool

In Yanzhou in the early September of the 36th year of Taiping, the autumn air was crisp and the autumn orchids spit out pistils.

But at the entrance of Caishi at this time, the crowds were crowded and scrambling to watch those officials and gentry who used to call the wind and rain in Yanzhou but now kneel on the execution ground, wearing filthy prison clothes with black and brown blood stains after torture. The executioner, who was wearing red silk around his waist and holding a big knife in his hand, only waited for Zhou Huai's order from the execution platform, and he could let the prisoner's head fall to the ground, splashing blood on the spot.And looking at the number of prisoners who were brought in by the prison van and tied up, it seems that after all their heads were cut off, a small mountain could be piled up.

The beautiful Wen Yuji seems to have foreseen the ending of today. Although she feels heartbroken and disappointed with the man who once made her feel good, but now, she just calmly looks at NO.17 next to Zhou Huai, and don't Turn your head away, and stop looking at him who has been promoted and vigorous with her change.

She raised her head and looked around at the people in the execution ground. They were all the people on a boat that she had used her interests and beauty to win over or threaten over the years. She did not expect to end up in this situation despite all her scheming and means.She was born as a singer and dancer, worked hard for several years, from having nothing to enjoying the wealth and glory, and played with the men who once regarded her as playthings. To end up decapitated.She smiled sadly, without any tears or regrets, she just closed her eyes, calmed down, and sighed with some relief: "In this world, only pain is real, and only death is fair."

The eldest princess on the supervisory stage looked at Wen Yuji, who was beautiful but about to fade away, and sighed: "From a humble artist to a woman who can persuade a whole state of officials to follow her life and death, although the situation is gone, she can still be regarded as a good woman." She is a hero among women."

Zhou Huai looked indifferent: "A hero is a bear if he loses. Of course, showing forgiveness and necessary sighs to the dead will not only lose nothing, but also win a good reputation. You can continue."

The eldest princess's face turned ugly for a moment. Although she knew that Zhou Huai's words were not rough, but she herself lost in her previous life, so she was also a bear in Zhou Huai's eyes?She wanted to throw up her sleeves and leave, but looking at the street in the distance, the person she was waiting for hadn't come yet, so she had to suppress her temper, but she still refused to agree with Zhou Huai's opinion: "These people are not right or wrong, they just have different positions." , if you have to forgive others and forgive others, they..."

Zhou Huai knew what she wanted to say, so he interrupted directly: "The winner is the loser, and whoever loses is wrong. Don't waste your time thinking about these people."

The eldest princess looked at Zhou Huai with a ruthless expression, and sighed melancholy: "Is it so difficult to kill less?"

Before Zhou Huai could reply in the future, he heard the crowd around the execution ground being jolted by the slack horses and ran into a commotion. Someone on the horse was waving a scroll of five-colored satin and shouted: "Yi's decree is here, keep people under the sword! Yi's decree is here!" , keep people under the sword..."

Shouts sounded from far and near, and the guards outside the execution ground stopped a group of people who rushed over in a hurry and looked anxious. Come to announce the decree, requesting that Yanzhou officials be handed over to them and brought back to the capital for investigation."

Zhou Huai's eyes immediately glanced at the eldest princess who couldn't hide her joy, but turned her head and pursed her lips displeasedly at the guard who reported: "The execution ground is filthy, first please invite the envoy to rest in the post house, and wait until I finish dealing with the matter here. Go ahead and tell them about it.”

The eldest princess on the side was a little anxious, and immediately said to Zhou Huai: "The person who came to announce the decree is the 'foolish stone' censor Shi Yu who has been in the limelight in recent years. This person has a stubborn personality and is not afraid of death. Let him come here first, so that we can discuss this matter, lest he make a fuss and it will be ugly."

"I'm afraid he won't make trouble!"

The eldest princess was blocked by Zhou Huai's words, and almost got internal injuries.

Seeing what Zhou Huai said, the guard immediately responded and passed on the message. As expected, Shi Yu, the leader, sat on the horse and sternly yelled: "Bold! It's the crown prince's order to keep people under the knife. Master Huai wants to resist the order?"

Zhou Huai heard the reputation and looked over. Although Shi Yu was wearing a brocade robe, he had a strong body, a loud voice and full of energy.Although the two were separated by hundreds of feet, when their eyes met, one was full of anger and the other was full of murderous intent.

"When will it be the crown prince's turn to take care of the affairs of the Northwest? Moreover, these officials who corrupted the common people dared to jump over the wall and commit crimes after being found out. What else does the prince want to interrogate?"

"Regardless of whether these people have committed crimes or not, as long as they are still subjects of the Jing Kingdom, the crown prince, as the crown prince, is now in charge of the state's affairs, how can he not intervene? No matter what these people have done, the crown prince will investigate clearly, absolutely I will not wrong any good person, nor will I lightly spare the evildoers, this Huaizhu can rest assured."

"The prince is really well-informed and concerned about my affairs in the northwest. It's just a trivial matter, so the prince who doesn't work hard every day will give up his mind."

"Nearly ten thousand lives, is it a trivial matter? As the crown prince, he is responsible for the duties of the world, no matter how busy and tired he is, how can he see his subjects suffer and ignore them?"

When Shi Yu finished speaking, seeing Zhou Huai's indifferent and unmoved face, he was even more furious, and directly yelled angrily in front of everyone: "Master Huai has received the holy gift of being a saint, and she should be compassionate to all people and be kind to the world. But look at the present, Lord Huai has acted recklessly, resorted to military force, blood has flowed into rivers several times, and the people have complained, don't you know what to regret?"

"What are you, you dare to teach me?" Zhou Huai looked at Shi Yu with a cold face and sneered: "I proclaimed myself the saint? I snatched the tiger amulet of the army in the northwest? The prince keeps saying that I am treasonous, so let Your Majesty Order to convict me! Or is it that the crown prince has become the lord of Jingguo? He dared to send troops to the northwest without saying a word, and even sent you, a bastard, to reprimand me. How dare you! I will kill you first, and then Go to Beijing and ask him, do you think I, Zhou Huai, are easy to bully?"

Zhou Huai was so angry that he was about to wave his hand to signal the guards to arrest him.

The Eldest Princess didn't intervene when they were fighting, but seeing that a fight was about to start, she quickly grabbed Zhou Huai's hand and yelled to stop them: "Zhou Huai!"

"You always help him."

"I... can I beg you?"

The eldest princess looked anxious, looked at the execution ground, and then at Shi Yu and the others, feeling bitter in her heart.It would be fine if Zhou Huai wanted to kill one or two people, but this time Yanzhou officials, large and small, were implicated. Families from several counties in the state ransacked their homes and imprisoned them, and more than [-] people were convicted.It is useless for the eldest princess to intercede for her several times. In Yanzhou, no one listens to her orders even if she is noble. She wants to contact Zhou's family to stop Zhou Huai's killing, but Zhou's family doesn't trust her and there is something hidden Hostility, in desperation, he had no choice but to send a letter to the crown prince, asking him to send people over day and night, trying to force Zhou Huai to release him with righteousness in front of the world.

Zhou Huai looked at the sad eldest princess and clenched his fists tightly. After a while, he reluctantly gave the order: "Put the prisoner back in prison, don't behead him now, and tie that 'foolish stone' too. Take them all to Yunzhou. Doesn’t the crown prince want to take care of my affairs in the northwest? Then invite him to come in person.”

Seeing that these prisoners escaped death for the time being, the eldest princess felt a big stone in her heart, but when she saw Shi Yu and others were tied up, her eyes flickered, and finally she nodded with frown.

At this time, the eldest princess was anxiously running for the prisoners in Yanzhou. She didn't know that as early as five days ago, the prince sent 5000 people to cross the Canglan River at night and attack the 5000 defenders in Canglan County, Lanzhou. Huai reacted, but he didn't expect to easily capture two counties in Lanzhou. The leader rushed forward greedily, but was intercepted and ambushed in Luoyang County. There are two thousand fighting power left.Looking back, I found that Zhou Huai had already deployed three groups of troops, not only blocking his retreat, but also chasing the more than two thousand remnants who were fighting alone in the northwest side without delay, and headed towards Yunzhou. advance.

In secret, Zhou Huai had people spread the news that Zhou Hao, the third son of the Zhou family, was the youngest son of King Anshun and the grandson of Emperor Huai, born in the tenth year of Taiping.His mother, the Zhou family, was a concubine of the Zhou family's collateral lineage, and she could barely be regarded as Zhou Huai's aunt who lived three thousand miles away. Somehow, she had a relationship with King Anshun. He was brought up, taught both civil and military skills, and behaved calmly and thoughtfully. However, Zhou Huai had been at odds with him since he was a child, and the age gap between the two was thirteen or fourteen years old. After the state, he got along with the entire Zhou family coldly, and even had no relationship with Zhou Hao.

This time Zhou Huai made a merciless move, and she wanted to put Zhou Hao to death. She would not admit that the main reason she hated Zhou Hao since she was a child was that Zhou Hao was the ex-husband of the eldest princess in her previous life, and the secondary reason was that Zhou Hao abandoned her eldest daughter in her previous life. The princess married Liao Qiwei, and now she is busy leading Liao Qiwei around, the two of them still have time to hook up, if she doesn't beat the mandarin ducks, how can she sell well in front of the eldest princess who has enmity with both of them?If Zhou Hao is not forced to rebel in advance, how can the eldest princess see her value?

Zhou Huai relied on the strong military in the northwest and the quick intelligence and news, so he didn't care if the north and the south fought at the same time.She fought with the prince who wanted her to die in the south in the dark, and fought with the Qiang Kingdom who prevented her from rebuilding Huaiyuan in Yancheng on the northern border. She brought three thousand elites to fight with the rebels in Yanzhou. Blood flowed into a river , and there will probably be another battle with Zhou Hao in the near future.

The eldest princess didn't know that Zhou Huai was so capable of making troubles, and she would make a good Northwest all of a sudden. When Zhou Huai decided to escort the prisoner back to Yunzhou, she went back to the hospital and hurriedly found Xiao Yu. This group of people, and want to sell some of them to help her discover the medical laboratory established by Zhou Huai.

There are many people in the world who have heard that Zhou Huai is making the elixir of life under Wu Mingtai's order. Although the eldest princess doesn't believe that Zhou Huai can make any elixir of life, just like she doesn't believe that the tower-shaped things built by Zhou Huai are what the world calls mausoleums, but Thinking of Zhou Huai's mystery, she really hoped that Zhou Huai, who had already produced many magical potions, could produce medicine to treat the prince's illness, and she had definite news that Zhou Huai had established a lot of laboratories in various places in Northwest China. And the research institute, but no one knows where those mysterious underground research institutes were set up, or a lightning strike later, the research institute was destroyed, and all the blood-clothed guards guarding the research institute were killed by lightning, so the survivors who were seriously injured I got two experimental codes from my mouth: thirty degrees north latitude and high-dimensional space.

No one knows what these two code names mean, or after many forces spent a lot of effort to find out more things, but unfortunately they only got the transcribed materials, and the result is still half-understood, such as time, space and The special functions of the human body can be guessed, but some, such as genes and nerve fibers, are very unfamiliar. As for other atoms and particles, magnetic fields, and four-dimensional things, the eldest princess said that she really couldn't understand them.

If you don't understand these secrets for a day, the eldest princess will feel uneasy, but she doesn't want to ask Zhou Huai, because this kind of feeling of completely two worlds with the other party is really not good. It was still frustrating, and she thought that the reason why she couldn't like Zhou Huai might need to be revised, replacing Zhou Huai's gangster personality and the possibility of another soul hidden in her body with the only reason: she gave She feels far away.
