The two of them continued to brush the horses happily.
It was very harmonious.
The horses were quickly brushed clean, and they used a bucket of clean water to wash the carriage.
Originally, this kind of work could have been done by the inn's odd-job workers or a few guards, but Jing Rong felt that he had nothing to do, so he did it himself.
Bai Yin suddenly asked him very seriously, "By the way, who were those men in black last night?"
Jing Rong paused while brushing the horses. "I'm not sure, but they definitely weren't coming for us."
"I saw that those people were very skilled, and from their martial arts, they didn't seem to be from those complicated Jianghu sects. Also, why did they suddenly retreat last night? Isn't that strange? "
It was indeed strange!
Jing Rong didn't want to say more, so he just said, "Perhaps they urgently needed to rescue the people in the two sacks, so they retreated."
"That's possible!"
The two of them didn't continue this topic.
They brushed the horses seriously.
Soon, the guards had prepared all the things needed for the journey, and they also bought some Huyi clothes.
Everyone changed out of their clothes.
They wouldn't look so conspicuous when they walked out!
Because this inn was at the end of the street, and outsiders rarely came to Long Valley, there were usually very few people staying in the inn, so it was usually a little deserted.
But when it was time for dinner, more people came in to eat.
Jing Rong and the others also sat in the hall on the first floor for dinner.
The guards sat at another table.
As more and more people came to the inn, gossip came one after another.
It was a mess, and there were all kinds of rumors.
Everyone was talking at once.
However, everyone was suddenly attracted by a topic.
They heard someone say, "Have you heard that some strange things have happened recently?"
Strange things?
This made everyone very curious.
They all looked at the person who said it.
Someone urged, "What's going on? Don't be mysterious, hurry up and tell us. " The man who spoke looked shifty-eyed and was a famous inquisitive person in Hasegawa. He put one foot on the stool, grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth, then said, "You still don't know, in the past few months, I heard that many old ministers of the previous dynasty have disappeared one after another, some even had their houses burned down, completely destroyed.
Some even had their houses burned, and all of them were killed! The government wants to take care of it, but they don't know where to start. "
"Ah? So strange? "
"Isn't that right? But actually … it's very likely to be related to something that happened more than 20 years ago. "
"What do you mean?" Detective Bao took another sip of tea and coughed a few times before saying, "You should all know that there was a coup in the royal family of Huyi more than twenty years ago. The current King of Huyi, who is also the biological brother of the former king, took his own soldiers to seize the palace and force the throne. The former king was forced to commit suicide in front of the palace, and the former empress disappeared with the young prince. But some people saw with their own eyes that the former empress and the young prince were actually buried in the sea of fire! At that time, there were many old officials who would rather die than submit to him. The King of Huyi did not dare to kill innocent people to avoid forming a tyranny, so he banished all of them.
Gao Ding. Originally, those old officials had been fine for the past twenty years. But recently, for some reason, they have disappeared one by one. Their homes have been burned, and the people in the residence have all died. This … must have something to do with what happened back then. "
Although it was just a guess.
But his tone was very certain.
These words naturally reached Ji Yunshu's ears.
She was quite interested.
She kept her ears open and continued to listen.
After listening to Detective Bao's words, someone said, "Don't talk nonsense. Who knows about this kind of thing that happened in the previous dynasty!"
"Yes, if this reaches the ears of the King of Huyi, even if you have several heads, it won't be enough."
Detective Bao smiled. "The King of Huyi has no time to mind my mouth."
Everyone was curious. Why?
"Why? Don't you know?" Detective Bao said.
"Know what?"
"The King of Huyi is seriously ill and bedridden. Moreover, he hasn't attended morning court for a long time!"
Everyone was in an uproar!
It was unbelievable.
They couldn't be blamed. After all, outsiders rarely came to the Long Valley, so there was naturally less news coming in. It was normal that they didn't know about this.
So people began to ask questions.
The whole inn seemed to be in an uproar. Detective Bao said, "The King of Huyi is seriously ill now. Many important matters in the court have been handed over to his confidants, so he has the idea of making a crown prince. It turns out that the King of Huyi has three sons. The eldest prince died on the battlefield in his early years. Now, only the second prince and the third prince are in power. Originally, the King has always favored the third prince, so he must have made him the crown prince. But in the past few years, the second prince has gradually shown his edge and made a lot of contributions to Huyi. The King has a whole new level of respect for him. Moreover, the second prince has the support of the Duke, so his power has gradually grown. It is expected that he will become the crown prince.
He has nowhere to go. But the third prince has the support of Marquis Pingyang and Minister Gong, so his power is divided. So, it is still unknown who will become the crown prince. "
Someone said, "According to what you said, there may be another storm in the court."
"Isn't that so!"
Everyone continued to say one sentence at a time.
They spoke very enthusiastically.
These people in the Long Valley were too rich and comfortable, so they only knew how to gossip and talk about events every day.
Even something as small as a bean could spread like wildfire.
However, none of these could arouse Jing Rong's interest.
He didn't care about these things at all.
Those so-called matters in the court gave him a headache every time he heard about them.
It was the same now.
What's more, the internal affairs of the Huyi royal family had nothing to do with him.
But then … the spy jumped out again. "In fact, for the matter of the crown prince, the two princes have long been prepared. Remember, just last year, the Third Prince married a princess of the Great Lin. Originally, the princess's brother had a great possibility of becoming the new Emperor of the Great Lin. The Third Prince probably thought of this, so he planned to use that power to help him become the crown prince. But later, for some reason, that prince died because of the charge of rebellion. So, as soon as the princess married, she was ignored by the Third Prince. She was very pitiful.
Naturally, the Third Prince's plan was ruined. "
After saying that, he put the back of his hand against his palm and slapped it heavily.
He sighed deeply.
A trace of sympathy flashed across everyone's face.
However, when he heard about this, Jing Rong's eyes gradually sank.
He clenched his fists.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Although Jing Xuan's fate was already destined when Concubine Xiao and Jing Yi died, how could Jing Rong not feel sad when he heard about her situation?
His Imperial Mother and brother had just died, and a woman was married to another country.
She had never been left out.
What was the difference between being a widow?
