I Own a Garden with One Hundred Herbs

The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan for it.

Mrs. Baili has always known that her daughter's journey is difficult, and she hopes to give her some help within her ability.

In Bai Li's view, the Queen of Nanyuan is a guarantee. Even though Northern Qi is still very weak among other countries, it is still one country.

In my heart, Baicaoshi hopes that the family will be reunited. However, Bai Zhan still has his responsibilities, as well as... family. She couldn't criticize him with the eyes of modern people. Didn't she prove his intentions by being able to find her mother for eighteen years.

As for Zhe Yu, would Zhe Yu be willing to go to Northern Qi with her? She was beating drums in her heart for a while.

If possible, she would rather be Tao Zhu, a wealthy woman, than her husband take the road of no return to imperial power. What would Oriha think.

For the first time, Baicaoshi felt conflicted and confused.

**

Affected by the court situation, the people of Yanjing basically stay behind closed doors now, less troublesome, and the streets are much deserted. This also created the conditions for Zhe Yu who entered the city, otherwise he would bring Costin to the market, and it would be hard not to attract everyone's attention.

One person and one falcon soon arrived at Dongshi Lantern Shop, which is Yun Zhao's base, and he asked the shopkeeper about Yanjing's current situation.

"The current situation in Yanjing is complicated and confusing. The third prince has been canonized as the crown prince, and the first order issued is to close the city gate, curfew, and send people to Wanzhou to pick up His Majesty."

A sneer twitched from the corner of Zhe Yu's mouth, which was clearly Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.

"The emperor has already returned, it seems that he hasn't arrived in Yanjing yet." Zhe Yu said.

The backyard was already on fire, but Emperor Yanwu was not in a hurry. Is this intending to see the faces of the officials thoroughly and eradicate them in one fell swoop? Is this confidence or arrogance?

Thinking of something, Zhe Yu asked again: "I asked you to pay attention to the son of the Northern Qi Dynasty, do you have any news?"

When Bai Shaoze was mentioned, the shopkeeper sweated a little, and said a little ashamedly: "My lord, the Northern Qi Shizi's mansion was flooded, and the fire was so intense that even the Taifu's mansion was alarmed, and a corpse was found in the sea of ​​flames."

If it is said that it accidentally caught fire, I am afraid no one will believe it.

But looking at the whole of Dayan, who would dare to set fire next to the Taifu's house? It took time for the fire to burn up, and the people inside did not escape... There are many strange things.

"Is there only one?" Zhe Yu asked again, because he knew that there was a little book boy in Shizi Mansion.

The shopkeeper said: "It's absolutely true."

Therefore, it is very possible that the Northern Qi prince escaped. Where will he go?

The son of the Northern Qi Dynasty is an important target of Zhe Yu's trip to Yanjing.

It was still dark, so it was difficult to move, so Zhe Yu took a nap in the lantern shop for two hours. When it was completely dark, he got his night clothes and walked out of the lantern shop, while Hai Dongqing stayed in the shop.

The first stop, of course, is Shizi Mansion.

The area of ​​the Shizi Mansion is not too big, and it was carefully taken care of by someone, so it is considered elegant. But after it was burned, walls and walls were destroyed everywhere, which shows the tragedy of the fire at that time.

Zhe Yu lit a fire folder, walked in the mansion garden, and suddenly found some traces of dark brown sticky substance on the ground. Zhe Yu leaned over and twisted a little bit with his fingers, there was a pungent smell.

"Sure enough, it's Shizhi!"

Shizhi, that is, oil in ancient times, has a long history of using oil in China, but the word oil was mentioned by Shen Kuo in "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the Song Dynasty. In Dayan, this flammable substance is called Shizhi.

The discovery of Shizhi undoubtedly confirmed Bai Shaoze's tragic situation of committing suicide.

I searched around again, but couldn't find anything of value.

The night was as inextricable as black ink, Zhe Yu got up, extinguished the fire Zhezi in one breath, and looked at the century-old family mansion next to him.

Let's find out today.

He seemed to be slow but walked to the wall quickly, turned over and jumped in.

Unsurprisingly, the Taifu Mansion is heavily guarded, with a sentry post every three steps and patrols every five steps. It is not easy to get close to the core area.

When walking through Chaoshou corridor, Zhe Yu dodged behind the pillars, just as two patrols passed by, he knocked out one by one, moved to a hidden place, and then changed into patrol clothes.

Just then, he heard the sound of dogs barking and footsteps.

Under the night, a group of people were chasing a man in black.

"Catch that assassin! Don't let him get away."

Zhe Yu understood, it seemed that he was not the only one visiting Taifu's residence tonight. So let's take a look at the depth of the night watcher.

After a while, Zhe Yu was disappointed, because the assassin's level was not good enough, and he was almost in a situation of being beaten violently. Those patrolling are agile and fierce, completely different from ordinary servants in strength. This shows that these people are all Lianjiazi.

"wipe"! Blood was splashed everywhere, and the assassin's arm was cut with a sword. If this continues, he will soon shed the last drop of blood.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

If Shen Taifu is Zhe Yu's enemy, then the assassin is undoubtedly a friend.

Zhe Yu didn't hesitate, and walked towards the battle scene. No one doubted him, after all, he was wearing the clothes of the family. Then as soon as he arrived in the arena, Zhe Yu raised his sword and fell, instantly knocking down all four guards.

"follow me."

If the plan is disrupted, Taifu's mansion will definitely strengthen its guard, and it will not be able to act again tonight. Zhe Yu simply led the way, led the assassin out of the mansion, and came to an empty house.

"Hero, thank you for your kindness!" The assassin clasped his fists at Zhe Yu, and then took out a little silver coin from his chest as a reward.

Zhe Yu didn't pick it up, but raised his sword and put it on the assassin's neck.

The assassin was startled. "What are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, save your life, you have to know who you saved. Your little money is not enough to buy your life!"

Life is precious, so how can it be worth so little. The assassin seemed to breathe a little harder, and stretched his hand behind his ear, "I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring any silver taels, this is already all I have."

He took off the shawl, and Zhe Yu lit the fire pocket at the same time, and saw the face.

"It's you!"

Who else could the assassin be if not Bai Shaoze? It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes, and it takes a lot of effort to get it.

"You know me?" Bai Shaoze looked at Zhe Yu, his eyes suddenly brightened. "You are... the husband of Baicaoshi?"

Being recognized by his uncle, Zhe Yu still feels pretty good even though he is nameless. "Why are you in Taifu's residence?"

Mentioning this, a fire ignited in Bai Shaoze's chest.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. Taifu Shen wants to kill me, so I want to appear in his territory."

Zhe Yu rubbed his nose, although the words are good, but your skills are too poor. If he hadn't met him, nine lives would have been lost, but he could probably guess what he was thinking. "So, you want to assassinate the current Taifu?"

Bai Shaoze's words froze, only to see the other party's eyes like torches, and he could see clearly. This is the man my sister has taken a fancy to, and he really has great wisdom. He didn't answer directly, and didn't want to drag him into the water, but asked: "You are not in Wanzhou, why did you come to Yanjing?"
