244 Guilt

Xie Wan looked out of the translucent window, and the crowd surged, but it was still orderly. There were also many people driving carriages among them. It seemed that he did not want to miss the opportunity to rejoice the morale of the Eastern Expedition.

After waiting for a while, I heard a faint sound of horses' hoofs, and then Qian Zhuang tapped on the door of the car: "The army is coming."

Xing Zhu rolled the curtain open a line, and then looked at it. He heard the sound of horses' hoofs getting closer and closer, like a rainstorm hitting the roof tile. Xie Wan moved to the window of the car and looked out. He saw a group of people slowly coming from the city, embroidered with the flag of the Dayinguo flying high, Wearing sterling silver armor and a red copper goggle on his chest should be Marshal Fu Ke this time.

Along the way, the people bowed their hands and wishes, and officials everywhere also came forward to give greetings.

For an ordinary expedition, it will not be used for the court officials to come to send it, so today are just a few men from the Ministry of War to read out the expedition and then toast a few glasses of wine.

Fu Ke said goodbye to the officials and got on the horse again, and then continued to drive forward.

Everything looks normal. Xie Wan frowned more and more tightly. Is her intuition wrong? In fact, sending her off can't provide her with any answer?

She stared at the team. There was still a distance of about 20 or 30 feet, and the team was about to leave the city gate. Out of the gate, the army will speed up to the southeast. It's unlikely to be found out by her again.

She was suddenly a little discouraged, as if she had drilled into a black hole. The key was that she couldn't even see what the hole looked like.

"Girl, someone came forward to toast again." Xing Zhu suddenly reminded her.

She looked up. Sure enough, a famous scribe in the crowd handed over the wine glass. She didn't know what she had said to Fu Ke. Fu Ke actually got off the horse again and drank all the wine. According to the statement, the expedition is an extremely serious matter. The people should not have dared to come forward to obstruct the journey. Why did the scribe take the wine forward? What's more puzzling is why did Fu Ke pick up the wine?

Is it his parent?

Xie Wan didn't want to let go of everything abnormal. She said to Xing Zhu, "You continue to stare here. Qian Zhuang drove over. Let's stare at the scribe."

Xing Zhu heard that he opened the door and got out of the car. Here, Qian Zhuang stared at the scribe and saw that he also got into a carriage behind him after the toast. When the soldiers went out of the door, the crowd gradually dispersed. Qian Zhuang quietly drove the car over. It was more than ten feet away from the carriage, and the carriage in front of him also began to move.

Go all the way to the city.

I don't know how many streets and alleys have been bypassed, and the carriage gradually slowed down. Xie Wan sat up straight and looked out of the window. The street was open and the wall of the street could not be seen. Gu Xing looked over and said, "It seems to have arrived at Zhong Mingfang." Gu Xing often helps Xie Wan to inquire about the news in Beijing, so he is quite familiar with the terrain.

Xie Wan was about to speak when Qian Zhuang said, "Girl, there is Ji Mansion in front of you. The scribe went into Ji Mansion with the carriage."

Jifu? Xie Wan was shocked all over. He opened the door of the car and came down to the ground. On the lintel diagonally opposite the front, it really wrote the word Ji Fu!

Ji Zhenyuan's men specially went to toast Fu Ke, and those who were relatives of the Duke of the Protectorate actually made a special horse for one of Ji's subordinates!

Suddenly, there was the sound of a car behind him. When he got behind him, he suddenly stopped, and a voice lazily sounded in the window of the car: "It's surprising, isn't it? Fu Ke, who is obviously in-laws with the Huo family, actually respects a staff member of Jifu so much.

Xie Wan turned around. Xie Rong sat in the car, raising his lips and looking at her condescendingly.

He smiled softly and then said, "You will never think that because the family of the Protectorate is big, and you are worried that the close relationship with Xun Gui will cause the vigilance of the court, so he has always been estranged from these nobles. Lanling has no hope of climbing to the Huo family, so he has to find Fu Ke has had a dealing with Ji Ge Lao since he married the granddaughter of Lanlinghou.

Xie Wan squeezed his lips tightly and stared at him fiercely.

This is a trick! It was from the moment when she went to the four-leaf alley to a showdown with Xie Rong, Xie Rong began to officially respond to her attack. He deliberately used the genealogy as bait to induce her to facilitate the smooth stay of the Duke of Protector to Beijing, and Ji Zhenyuan and others had no choice but to give this opportunity to Fu Ke! Yin Yao has had military power to help from now on. The key is that no one knows that Fu Ke is their person!

She gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you tell me?"

The smile on the corners of his lips turned cold. Suddenly, he got up and got out of the carriage, got off the ground, and walked in front of her with his hands behind his hand.

"I'm telling you to let you know that you want to defeat me, it's too tender."

He turned around and squinted around. "Even if I tell you, you have no choice. Fu Ke has been ordered to go on an expedition, and the 30,000 soldiers in the East China Sea have been in his hands since then. You can tell Hoda and Yin Yu at this moment, and they can only stare. The emperor won't care how we fight. Maybe the more he fights, the happier he is. The more equal the forces on both sides, the more reassuring he is. All he wants is to have a stable country and a court fight. Since ancient times, which dynasty has it been?

Xie Wan stood in the cold wind, and his heart gradually began to chill because of anger.

If it hadn't been for her support in the back, Fu Ke would not have taken the throne so much. Instead of letting the Duke of Hu leave Beijing and then write a letter to set up a grandson, it turned out that they were ready to work hard.

She embarrassed Xie Rong ten times before, which was not as bad as her this time.

Xie Rong, it's really not that she can fall down in twos and threes.

She took a deep breath and looked at him calmly: "I've been taught, third uncle."

Xie Rong raised his lips again and said kindly, "I will go back to Qinghe during the Spring Festival and bring you the meat muffins we ate."

treat her as a childish child.

Xie Wan pinched his hand and raised his lips and said, "Okay."

On the way back home, Xie Wan exhaled a long breath. At this point, she could only admit defeat, but the war was not over. Even if she was just a childish girl in his heart, she would not give up, nor could she give up. Although they used her to push Fu Ke to the East China Sea, it doesn't mean that they can win the final victory, does it?

As long as Yin Yu is still there, as long as she is still there, Ji Zhenyuan and others can't succeed even if they fight until the last minute. The throne does not have to be Yin Yu, but Yin Yao must fall. If Yin Yao does not fall, Yin Yu will always face the situation of being attacked by the enemy. Nowadays, Yin Yu is too passive. How difficult it is for him to break out of the siege. Ji Zhenyuan's party is his first level to attack, and it is also the largest level.

Only after overturning them will Yin Yu change from passive to active. As long as he has the initiative, even if there will be resistance and obstacles afterwards, it will not be comparable to the current situation.

If she chooses him, she must choose the path he wants to take.

Only this time, she really feels a little guilty.

When she got home and got out of the car, she said to Qian Zhuang, "You go to Yin's house and tell Mr. Yin what's going on today." If he is not here, tell Pang Bai.

Although nothing can be changed, these are always to be informed.

Qian Zhuang arrived at Yin Mansion, but Yin Yu hasn't come back yet. Pang Bai told him about this after entering the door at night.

He already knew. When the Eastern Expeditionary Army set out, he also sent people to follow him for a while, and the people also followed Ji Zhenyuan's staff all the way to Jifu. Since Fu Ke and the people of Jifu are so enthusiastic, he can also guess that Xie Wan will be used by Xie Rong in the middle this time.

How can she be blamed for this? Not only she, but also the Duke of Protector and Wei Bin did not expect that Fu Ke had had private contacts with Ji Zhenyuan for a long time, and everyone was trying to dissuade the emperor at that time.

She must feel uncomfortable.

After meditating for a moment, he went to the street and bought a bag of warm fried chestnuts with sugar. When he came back, he gave it to Pang Bai: "Let someone send it to the maple alley for Miss Wan to eat."

Pang Bai paused and said, "It's so late, it's easy to accumulate food when eating chestnuts."

Yin Yu said, "As soon as she is happy. I feel unpleasure, which hurts the liver and spleen even more.

When Pang Bai arrived at Xie's house, Xie Wan was ready to rest. When he saw the hot chestnuts brought by Wu's mother, he suddenly felt a little sore.

Originally, he said that it was easy to accumulate food when eating chestnuts at night, but at present, he specially asked someone to send such a large bag. Is it to make her happy?

Yin Yu got the news, and the Duke of Protector and Wei Bin naturally knew quickly that they had been fooled by Ji Zhenyuan this time, but they were angry and really helpless. Next, Ji Zhenyuan's party was also very proud in the court and the cabinet, but the people who came to this world were not calm. Wei Bin and Duan Shen didn't see it, but turned their attention to the report of foreign officials in Beijing at the end of the year.

Recently, the investigation of private prostitutes has caused a lot of shortages in major government officials. Those criminal officials below the fourth grade are directly raped, while those above the fourth grade and below the second grade are demoted or punished according to the seriousness of the circumstances. There are only three of the real second grade, but now they are all made up. And the following can be selected from the people who come to Beijing to report their duties.

Maybe these people know that this year is a fat year, so many people are ready to let people go to Beijing before they arrive in the New Year. The capital is more lively than in previous years.

On the day of Laba, Luo Ju and Shen Tian have returned. Thirty rice shops along the canal have been successfully opened, and the rice warehouses of the Xie family in the south and the two lakes have also been built. Shen Tian has brought out several capable subordinates. In the future, Luo Ju will sit in the rice shop in Qianmen Hutong, while Shen

At the same time, Mr. Ning also went to Beijing. It turned out that he opened Lanting to two pavilions. He always remembered that Xie Wan was good at the beginning, so he specially came to invite Xie Wan to share. Mr. Ning's business strategy is not convinced by Xie Wan. Lanting's branch in Nanzhili is in full-day, and he can only make money without losing money. Xie Wan didn't want to take advantage of the old man, but he came to the door twice, and she had to promise to consider it.

And Hong Lianzhu was thinking about what kind of shops to dowry for her. Hearing that there was such a good opportunity to make money, he took out 8,000 taels of silver and bought two shares for her. The old man smiled and flattered Hong Lianzhu with a lot of good words, as if he had made a profit. RS
