Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 398
Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to accompany Dong Shuzhen at all times.

Dong Shuzhen became extremely dependent on him and clung to him very tightly.

When eating, Zhu Xiuyuan should not leave her sight.

When washing, Zhu Xiuyuan should also be present.

When changing clothes, hold Zhu Xiuyuan's hand.

When taking a bath... She simply didn't take a bath today. It was already winter anyway, the weather was getting colder, and she didn't sweat much all day. In this kind of weather, it didn't matter if she didn't take a bath.

Finally, when going to bed late at night, Dong Shuzhen naturally entered Zhu Xiuyuan's room.

The two of them seemed to be back in Jiangzhou. When the Yan army invaded the border and attacked the city, they slept together in a room under the north city wall.

"Husband, I saw a lot of headless ghosts..."

On the couch, Zhu Xiuyuan was lying on his back. Dong Shuzhen was sleeping inside, lying on his side, facing Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Hey, come on!"

Zhu Xiuyuan's tone was slightly helpless.

"My husband is here, you all go away, go away!"

Dong Shuzhen babbled and cursed twice in the air, then moved closer to Zhu Xiuyuan, stretched out her arms and legs, and placed them on Zhu Xiuyuan's body, forming a half-hug posture.

"Husband, I'm not afraid anymore!"

Dong Shuzhen buried her face in the clothes on Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulders and spoke in a muffled voice.

Her hidden face revealed a smile that showed success...

At this time, Dong Shuzhen secretly praised the dog-headed military advisor Xia Wu. Her idea was indeed a good one!

"It's late at night. If you're not scared anymore, then go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, you should be fine."

Zhu Xiuyuan closed his eyes and spoke slowly, breathing gradually longer.

"Well, when I wake up tomorrow morning, I won't be afraid anymore."

At this moment, Dong Shuzhen got her wish and felt comfortable. Listening to Zhu Xiuyuan's gradually longer breathing, she gradually fell into a deep sleep...

……

Yesterday, more than 800 heads were chopped off in one day.

This is really breaking news!
All day yesterday, and now, the entire capital has been hung with soul-calling flags, people in plain clothes can be seen everywhere, and the cries are endless...

These more than 800 heads were chopped off, resulting in the immediate destruction of many people's families. No one in the entire family was gone...

These people have lived in the capital as officials for a long time, and their influence is intertwined. These more than 800 cuts have really hurt the nerves of many people.

The entire capital was shrouded in an atmosphere of great sadness.

Today, rumors suddenly spread in Beijing.

The rumor pointed directly at Shen Lei Fang, ten miles outside the city.

It also refers directly to the founder of Shenleifang - Jiangcheng Bo Zhu Xiuyuan!
Rumor has it that it was because of Lao Shizi’s Divine Thunder Workshop that this tragedy occurred!
Without Shenleifang, there would be no subsequent piles and pieces!

The rumormongers hate Shenleifang, and naturally they also hate the founder of Shenleifang, Jiangcheng Bo Zhu Xiuyuan.

They claimed that before Zhu Xiuyuan came to the capital and before he created the Shenleifang that caused trouble, there were occasional turmoils in the capital, but none of them were as big as this.

More than 800 people were beheaded in one day!
These are not ordinary people, but more than 800 officials!

In the view of the rumor mongers, this is simply a disaster that "shakes the bones and muscles" and "shakes the foundation of the country"!
……

This rumor, or this statement, was immediately accepted in the hearts of those who had lost relatives and friends, as well as in the hearts of the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

And believe it.

It goes without saying that people who have lost relatives and friends have been killed, so shouldn't they be allowed to vent their anger?

As for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, why did they believe this rhetoric?
Because they are also officials.

As the saying goes, officials protect each other, no one knows when the disaster star of Zhu Xiuyuan or Shenleifang will hit them.

Rabbit dead fox sad!

However, later today, another "rumor" appeared in Beijing.

This rumor was widely circulated among the people in the capital.

Moreover, the "rumors" were all about good things about Zhu Xiuyuan and Shenleifang.

According to this rumor:
First, those who were beheaded deserved it. They sat on the heads of the people and acted arrogantly. They only made money and deceived others. They really deserved to die!
This time, with the help of this incident, we killed this bunch of corrupt and bad officials, which is really a way to eliminate harm for the people!
And who is the biggest contributor to this?

Naturally, it’s Shenleifang and Jiang Chengbo!
Secondly, Shenleifang is very important. It is an important weapon to protect Chen State. With Shenleifang, the Yan talents in the north will not dare to invade the border again!Only the people of the country can avoid the suffering of war.

However, for such an important thing, someone actually tried to steal its secrets and sell them to other countries...

This is going to put hundreds of millions of Chen people in danger!

Shouldn't this kind of person be killed?Good kill!

……

As soon as this "rumor" came out, it immediately gained the support of the people in the city.

Others found out that the credit for "defending the city of Jiangzhou for ten days" was actually attributed to Uncle Jiangcheng. Otherwise, the people in the capital might still be in war.

……

Therefore, the current situation is rather strange. For Zhu Xiuyuan and Shenleifang, there are two extremes in their evaluation.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty regarded Zhu Xiuyuan and Shenleifang as disaster stars!

The people in the city are very supportive. They believe that their current peaceful life is thanks to Zhu Xiuyuan and Shenleifang!
……

Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion.

Rumors spread everywhere outside the house, but nothing changed in the house. There was constant laughter and laughter. Zhu Xiuyuan and others did not take those rumors seriously.

Besides, aren't there still good rumors about them? It's considered even.

So Zhu Xiuyuan is not worried anymore.

The most important thing is that the attitude of the person in the palace is the key.

Just now, Emperor Chen's reward came.

There are more than 50 cars of things, gold, silver, jewelry, food, property, houses, everything!
These rewards are enough to illustrate the attitude of the man in the palace.

However, in Zhu Xiuyuan's opinion, the reward of more than 50 cars is not as powerful as the belt.

You don’t want to bow to the official!
It's a pity that Zhu Xiuyuan hasn't found the opportunity to use it to show off.

While Zhu Xiuyuan was sighing, a boy suddenly came to report: "Sir, a distinguished guest is here. Mr. Kou, the young master of the Criminal and Prison Department, handed over a greeting card."

"Oh, Young Sikou?"

Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he lowered his head to glance at the belt around his waist.

"Please come in...forget it, I'll pick it up myself."

Zhu Xiuyuan ignored the strange look from the boy and ran straight to the door of the mansion.

"Where is Master Shao Sikou?"

I ran to the door of the mansion, but saw that the door was closed tightly, and there was no sign of Shao Sikou.

"Sir, Master Young Sikou is waiting outside."

The disciple smiled and was a little puzzled, thinking that this Young Master Sikou was really a distinguished guest, and he actually made the master come out to pick him up in person!

"Open the door!"

Zhu Xiuyuan naturally didn't know Menzi's thoughts and waved his hand to open the door.

The door didn't dare to neglect, and opened it immediately.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked out of the house, looked up and saw someone waiting outside.

I saw that this man was tall, about 40 to [-] years old, with a pale face and no beard, but there was a long scar on his face.

It was Mr. Xu Shan, the young Sikou of the Criminal and Prison Department.

"Uncle Jiang Cheng!"

When Shao Si Kou first saw Zhu Xiuyuan coming out to greet him in person, his face was filled with excitement and he hurriedly raised his hands and bowed.

"Ah."

Zhu Xiuyuan nodded sharply and did not return the courtesy.

He held his hands behind his back, held his head high and stared at Young Sikou from the corner of his eye.

He was shouting in his heart: "This young Sikou is a minister of the fourth rank, and although I am the uncle of Jiangcheng, my rank is only the fifth rank. The young Sikou bowed his hands in salute, but I did not return the salute, which is extremely rude! Hehehehe, Young Sikou, You jump up and scold me!"

However, under Zhu Xiuyuan's silent cry in his heart, the young Sikou did not jump up and scold Zhu Xiuyuan for being arrogant and rude.

On the contrary, Shao Sikou looked very excited!
It seemed that he didn't notice Zhu Xiuyuan's rude behavior just now.

"Uncle Meng Jiang came out to greet you personally. I am very honored, haha."

Shao Sikou was all smiles.

Zhu Xiuyuan stared at him for a long time.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand: "Master Shao Sikou, please come in!"

He lamented in his heart: "Hey, it's so hard for me. Just to pretend to be cool, is it easy for me? I..."
