Return of the Swallow

Huzi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell me? What did you say, 'When you see the princess in the future, it's like seeing the king. You must not be disrespectful to the princess, and you must not be disloyal. Zhong, how can the big guy disclose the matter of the princess to the prince?"

"Hey, you make sense." Pang Xiao scolded with a smile, but thinking about it, it was indeed the truth.

He issued a death order, and the Jinghuwei who protected Qin Yining would treat her as their master, and if he asked anything, the brothers would say what they said, and Pang Xiao might even doubt their loyalty.

"Forget it, I don't have to go to find out about the big and small things around Sister Yi. I just don't feel at ease." Pang Xiao flipped up his robe, and sat down in the official hat chair placed first in the tent, thinking of Qin Yining, he tilted his head up The corners of her lips couldn't be pressed down.

"She is very strong-tempered and smart, and sometimes her analysis and grasp of the court situation is better than mine. I'm afraid that she will deliberately hide something, so I don't say it myself."

Huzi smiled and said, "Isn't it the same for the prince? You didn't tell the princess about your affairs."

"You kid, who are you aiming at?" Pang Xiao scolded with a smile.

Huzi was not afraid at all, since the prince lived in the heart of the princess, the prince became more and more humane, unlike in the past when he didn't bother to say a word, he could chat with him from time to time.

He is not as anxious as Mr. Zheng who has returned to his hometown. He does not want the prince to carry the past and live in pain. He hopes that the prince can live like a human being instead of being bound by those things all day long.

"My lord, I'm going to find out the news."

"Go."

Pang Xiao took advantage of the time when Huzi took people to inquire about the news, spread out the map of the southeast on the table, held a silk lantern and took a closer look, already analyzing the situation in the south and what Yuchiyan might do in his mind things come.

Gu Shixiong is not a good stubble, his brain can still keep up at such an age, and his ambition, if not handled properly, I am afraid that Dayan and Da Zhou will definitely have a battle.

If he had the Tiger Ben Army in his hand, then what was there to worry about? But in his hand is a plate of loose sand like the Pingnan Army.

It takes time to train soldiers.

What he was afraid of was that Yu Chiyan would catch him by surprise when he was preparing.

Although Pang Xiao never said anything, he knew his current situation clearly in his heart.

The soldiers and horses in his hands are not the iron rods he has practiced long ago, and he does not have a good reputation in Dayan. The common people may still fear him, and even hate him.

Whether in the army or in the civilian world, his heels have not stood firm. There is no strong support behind him from his family. Li Qitian, as the person who should support his actions the most, can't say when he will secretly stab him.

After thinking about it, things are not so easy to handle.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and it was already the dead of night.

Huzi brought back news from the city.

Both master and servant were silent for a moment.

After a full quarter of an hour, Huzi sighed with admiration: "The princess is capable, but she is better than other women! When the master is not around, she still stirs up wind and rain, and muddles up the old one."

Pang Xiao gave Huzi a sideways look, and rewarded him with a chestnut without hesitation.

Is this a compliment?

"That's why Mrs. Dingguo was locked up, and these things happened." How clever Pang Xiao was, he understood Qin Yining's intentions after thinking about it, and couldn't help feeling sorry for her courage and insight.

"As you said, Miss Yi is indeed capable, stronger than other women."

Huzi rubbed his forehead and nodded repeatedly. Isn't it true, there are still a few women who can make the poor people in the entire old capital hate Gao Dianshi? The public's grievances are almost turning into reality, even the magistrate, who has been staying in a corner and keeping his neutrality since he came to the old capital, has begun to think about it.

"But the princess is the same. They've already started a quarrel. Wouldn't it be better to simply make the matter worse and let the big guy rush to Gao Dianshi's house and force him to let him go?"

"That's too simple and rude." Pang Xiao shook his head, "She was worried about which ordinary people would be hurt, and she was also afraid that the people's anger would not be enough, and the impact would not be enough to make Gao Dianshi stumble. Thinking back to when she went to Yicui Pavilion, It is also to pick up the girls and sisters in the area."

"That's right. Miss Yu and her sisters are all working in the Qin Mansion now."

When Huzi talked about Qin Yining's work, his expression was full of admiration and emotion.

Pang Xiao took a break from praising Qin Yining for the time being, tapped the table with his index finger, and began to meditate.

This may be a good opportunity for him to gain a foothold.

"You should order someone to keep a close eye on the situation on the side of the princess. One thing is not to lose the opportunity. If you encounter any changes, you can tell me at any time. The other thing is the most important thing, to protect the safety of the princess."

Seeing Pang Xiao's serious face, Hu Zi immediately nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, my lord, I'll do it now."

%

After a cold night, when the sky is getting brighter, even exhaling one breath can put a layer of frost on the cheeks.

The poor people came out of their shacks and dilapidated temples, and rushed to the square where the porridge factory was located.

"Running like this will keep you warmer."

"Thanks to Qian Dashan, otherwise I wouldn't have the strength to run."

"I don't know how Qian Dashan is doing now, will he be tortured?"

"It's really hard to tell. Don't we all know what kind of person Gao Dianshi is?"

...

There were a lot of people discussing the same topic all the way, and everyone was not optimistic about the consequences of this matter, so they were a little depressed.

Who knew that when they came to the porridge factory, they saw that there was only a wooden pergola left in the open square, and there was only a stove made of stones inside, and there was no thick porridge with the aroma of food and white mist, and everyone felt depressed Completely turned to resentment and anger.

Sure enough, the porridge factory was closed. The family of shopkeeper Qian Da was busy trying to clear up relationships and save people. These precarious people returned to the situation where they were cold and hungry again, and might lose their lives at any time.

The number of people coming gradually increased. At first, everyone was stunned and helpless on the spot, but after a while, when everyone remembered who the culprit was, everyone became angry.

It's one thing to know the news yesterday, but another thing to really have nothing to eat today. The sufferings of the common people have turned into resentment, and all the anger is directed at Gao Dianshi and the local officials who are eating vegetarian meals.

"What should I do? How will I survive this winter?"

"What kind of world is this? It's so easy for someone to care about our lives, but the government says he's a murderer."

"This is not the first time the government has done this. I heard that there was an old Mrs. Zheng who wanted to set up a porridge factory and a Yuyingtang, but because Gao Dianshi didn't have enough money to honor Gao Dianshi, she was arrested and put in prison. Until now People haven’t been released yet, so they don’t know whether they are dead or alive.”

In the crowd, someone casually mentioned this matter.

At this juncture, this news was immediately spread by word of mouth, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. Regardless of whether it was true or not, everyone knew it within a short while.
