Lao Shi, Xiao Shi, you don't have to worry about Brother Jiu. I have discussed with the eighth brother. After all, I am the son of Huang Ama. He won't really do anything to me. It's better than letting Xu Sanli be convicted. Yin Zhen said. "

Is he sacrificing his own interests for the interests of the group? He really spared no effort to ascend the throne for his eighth brother. No wonder the fourth brother, who successfully ascended the throne later, hated him so much that he refused to save his life!

I sighed in my heart. He secretly looked at the gorgeous man in front of him, a real nobleman. Imagine the suffering he suffered in the last years, even an ordinary person can't stand it, not to mention him, a prince who has not suffered any deflated since he was a child!

Alas, I just thought rationally about being a crane-like thief, not being moved by anyone. Why is this sigh now? I secretly mocked myself.

A woman's weakness is always more emotional than rational.

Maybe my motherhood is too strong, or the pity in my eyes is too obvious. Yin Zhen felt it. He turned around and gave me a deep look.

This time, I didn't avoid my eyelashes and looked back at him. There is no usual wisdom and cunning in his eyes, and there is no exploration and joke. Only the warmth of the pulse flows like spring water. Our eyes intersect in the air, and the warm undercurrent surged between the two of us.

He quietly took one of my hands, turned around, and continued to talk to his brothers.

There is no other action, just hold it plainly.

His palm is big, thick and warm. It's very easy and comfortable to be held by him.

People are really contradictory. They are not only greedy for warmth, but also afraid of being fettered. I want to keep myself, but I will unconsciously be trapped by love.

I remind myself: Lu Mintao, do your stealing and don't care about anything! You can't pity anyone. These are all destined for them, but the delicate mood in their hearts is still lingering.

"I heard that after the prince lost his painting in the third brother's house, he found a woman all over the world?" The topic of Lao Shi suddenly turned to this.

After the last time I fainted the prince, I didn't hear from him. I don't know what happened to him? I listened carefully to the conversation of several people.

"What woman?" Xiao Shishi is always curious. He has dismembered three pieces of snacks, and all he eats is a little dessert stuffing stained with wine. Will Master Sun, who makes snacks, be sad to death when he sees his exquisite snacks being spoiled like this?

"I only heard that it is a woman named Dragonfly. I don't know where it comes from." Lao Shi replied. He raised his glass to me, motioned me to drink a toast, and took a sip first.

"I heard that he was found fainting near the study by the bodyguards in the third brother's house that day. The woman named Dragonfly is very suspicious!" The ninth brother said thoughtfully.

"Brother Jiu said that the woman was stealing? But she is a woman!" Lao Shi said, with doubts and disbelief.

Can't a woman steal? Look down on the woman! I ignored his eyes, but I didn't touch the glass of wine.

"According to the bodyguard of the third brother's house, although they didn't see the thief, they heard her cry. The cry was like a woman's voice. Yin Zhen explained. He said. He glanced at me and looked at Lao Shi again, and the corners of his lips were imperceptibly upturned.

Lao Shi didn't know why I ignored him at all. He gently knocked on the table with his chopsticks and said, "This is strange. Can women also steal? He's still a smart thief!"

Do you look down on women so much? I stared at him dissatisfiedly again. For his words, I took back my previous promise not to steal his family!

This time he seemed to understand a little. He smiled and said, "I'm talking about an ordinary woman, not a smart woman like Xiaojiu's sister-in-law. Little nine sister-in-law, not to mention being a thief, is to be a Jiangyang thief!"

Huh? Why am I so awkward to hear this? I looked at him suspiciously, and the corners of my mouth twitched a little.

Xiao Shishi laughed out with a "pounce". He said, "I said the tenth brother, are you praising the little sister-in-law? Why do I sound so awkward?"

Lao Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister-in-law, don't mind. I can't speak." He raised his glass to me and said, "I'll punish myself!" After saying that, he drank all the wine in the glass.

I smiled, picked up the wine pot and filled it for him. He said, "The tenth master is a frank person. Chuntao is very angry with you. Chuntao respects the tenth master for a cup." After saying that, I was the first to drink all the wine in the glass.

Seeing that Lao Shi also did it, I put down the glass.

Lao Shi filled me and his own wine glass again and said, "(To be continued, if you want to know what will happen, please log in. There are more chapters, support the author, support the genuine reading!)

c Speaking of which, I admire Xiaojiu's sister-in-law very much. When I was in Rehe, I heard that you and Qin Daoran analyzed the matter of Fengzhuang, and they came up with such a good idea to prevent the epidemic. Although Zhuangzi was sealed in the epidemic area, most of them were safe and sound. The little sister-in-law is really a woman. Our brothers all admire her! Eighth brother, fourteenth brother, am I right? He turned around and asked his two brothers.

The eighth brother and the little fourteen nodded. The eighth brother looked at me with approval in his eyes. Although my ninth master didn't say it, he clenched my hand under the table.

"The tenth master is wrong! Chuntao is a female streamer. What can she do? It's just that she comes up with some small ideas!" I bowed my head and lowered my eyelashes. I was humble and polite.

Alas, Qin Daoran's big mouth! I thought he would ask for credit in front of the ninth master, but I didn't expect that he would confess me. Don't ordinary people take credit in front of leaders? Why doesn't he? He is too loyal, isn't he?

The eighth brother suddenly looked directly at me and asked, "My sister-in-law's method of preventing the spread of the epidemic is very useful. She does not drink raw water and disposes of the bodies and exhaleds of the people affected by the epidemic. How did the younger sister-in-law come up with this way? The eighth brother's eyes are warm, but he is also full of inquiry.

The brothers looked at me and showed that they were all curious.

What do you want me to say? Do you want me to tell them about microbiology? Won't they destroy me like a magic stick?

Turning his eyes, I said, "Master Ba, there is no way for Chuntao. Chuntao just wants to think that the so-called disease comes from the mouth. The water flowed from the epidemic area, and most of them were stained by the bodies and discharges that the people with the epidemic had no time to bury. People will naturally get sick after drinking dirty water. That's why the people in the village should not drink raw water. Let the people in the village dispose of the bodies and discharges, in order not to pollute the water source. Chuntao is thinking about it by himself. I'm afraid it's crooked.

I looked at the expressions of these guys, and they all looked thoughtful. It shows that they are all thinking about the content of my words.

The eighth brother finally looked up and said, "My sister-in-law's words are very reasonable. The so-called plague is mutual infection, and this water is likely to carry the infection of the plague. No wonder after the epidemic area was lifted, the other Zhuangzi were empty and desolate, while Jiudi's Zhuangzi only killed three or five people. Everyone else was safe and sound, and Zhuangzi was still as prosperous as ever. So that's what happened!"

Xiao Shisi also said with an epiphany, "So that's it! If other villages are also prevented like this, won't the plague spread?

This boy is smart and can draw inferences so quickly.

"It's a pity that more than 4,000 people died this time. The whole Wanping County and most of Daxing County have been infected with the plague. The kind-hearted old man shook his head and sighed. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He said, "If it hadn't been for the eldest brother's village, the plague might not have spread to Daxing County at all!"

Yin Zhen looked at the eighth brother and said, "Some Zhuangzi in Wanping County, who were infected with the plague, wrote a joint letter, demanding that the officials who were weak in the epidemic be severely punished. The situation has been transmitted to the Ministry of officials, which is hesitating about this matter.

Isn't Wang Yan, the magistrate of Wanping County, going to be unlucky?

I "snort" in my heart. I met Wang Yan once and had a good impression on his steady and rigorous work.

As an official in the court, I don't know when the disaster will fall from the sky! This Wang Yan is a typical example. You may be guilty of no fault. It's the eldest brother's Zhuangzi who won't allow the seal, but will the officials in charge of this matter offend the emperor's eldest brother in order to return justice to him?

It's almost 100% impossible! Therefore, Wang Yan, a mute, is sure to suffer, unless something special happens.

"Wang Yan is also quite unfair!" Lao Shi is not equal for him.

"Injustice? Who is not wronged? Has the tenth brother seen how many people in the world who have not been wronged? So what about the supreme of the world? Many times, there are still injustices far away, and there is no one to complain about the suffering! Injustice is also destined to bear it!" The eighth brother, who has always been warm, is a little stiff.

This is strange! His three brothers were a little stunned. I've probably never seen their eighth brother say that, right?

I thought about it, maybe it's because it's aimed at the big brother. The eighth brother was raised by Concubine Hui since he was a child. He grew up with the eldest brother and had a deep relationship. He didn't want others to talk about this matter and led the finger to the eldest brother!

Now it is the eldest brother himself who is in charge of the official department. As long as no one goes to the emperor to chew his tongue, this matter should be suppressed. That's why he doesn't want to see his own people following others to make trouble.

Yin Zhen looked at Lao Shi with a crooked face and Xiao Shi Shi with a surprised face, sat up straight and said, "Brother Eight, don't blame Lao Shi. He is unintentional." After a pause, he said, "Whether this matter can be suppressed or not depends not only on how we suppress it, but also on God's will." Yin Zhen's finger pointed upward.

The God's will here seems to be something else. I guess that this "God's will" mostly refers to his emperor Ama. He said that this matter depends on his emperor Ama's investigation.

In fact, the eighth brother's worry is superfluous. How can Kangxi publicly investigate his son's fault in this matter! Isn't that telling the world that it was his own son who let the plague spread and cause more people to die? It's like hitting yourself in the face!

How could Kangxi hit himself in the face in front of the world?

However, if he does not pursue it in the open, it does not mean that he does not pursue it secretly. It's sure that the eldest brother is going to fall on this!

The eighth brother seemed to agree with Yin Zhen's words, slowed down his expression and tone and said to Lao Shi, "The eighth brother was a little anxious just now, and the tenth brother doesn't care. The eighth brother doesn't want our brothers to have a quarrel. With that, he filled Lao Shi and his glass with wine and raised the glass to Lao Shi. Lao Shi also picked up the cup, and the two of them drank all the wine in the cup.
