Chapter 27 It must have climbed
The Chu family opened a small grocery store in the south of the city, with a small courtyard attached to the back and three rooms. It just so happens that there is a shop in front and people live in the back.
It was late at night, and an oil lamp was still burning in the yard.
Chu's mother Bai Shi and Chu Yuxin were sitting in the yard pulling strings. Neither of them could sleep because they were worried about Chu Shangming's safety.
Thinking that the oil lamps were all lit, I started doing some work.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a sudden knock on the locked courtyard door.
It was really scary in the middle of the night, and both of them were startled.
Bai picked up the pole at her feet and suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting outside, "I saw a light on in the yard, grandma, little sister, it's me, don't be afraid."
"It's the eldest brother!" Chu Yu stood up excitedly, ran to open the door, and shouted cheerfully, "Mom, it's the eldest brother who is back."
Mrs. Bai threw away the pole and walked a few steps over. When she saw her son who was intact but his clothes were a little dirty and his hair was a little messy, his eyes suddenly became hot and tears rolled down uncontrollably.
"Auntie, don't cry." Chu Shangming walked around in front of Bai, "Look, I wasn't injured or suffered any hardship. I even slept in prison. It's all good. The earth is back, please stop crying and hurt your eyes carefully.”
Bai raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and said with a smile through her tears: "Mom, I don't want to cry. I just saw that you were doing well, so I couldn't hold it back."
"Are you hungry after being in jail for a day? Mom is going to cook you a bowl of noodles."
As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen, her happiness evident in her brisk steps.
"Brother!" Chu Yuxin put her hands on her hips and puffed up her round face in dissatisfaction.
Chu Shangming reached out and pinched her face, "What's wrong? Are you not happy to see your eldest brother back?"
"Happy." Chu Yuxin swatted his hand away and rolled her eyes at her eldest brother with a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were very similar to Chu Liuzheng's. "Can you not be so arrogant and sleep in prison? My mother and I are both worried. I can’t sleep.”
"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I won't sleep next time." Chu Shangming apologized very skillfully.
Chu Yuxin suddenly became even more angry, there would be a next time!
"Go in!" She stamped her foot angrily, pushed her eldest brother in, then closed the courtyard door again, then locked it with a chain and tilted the wooden stick up.
Looking at this formation, Chu Shangming couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Xin'er, I'm back, so I don't need to lock it up so tightly, right?"
"The eldest brother is not a father." Chu Yuxin muttered in a low voice, "A father can beat three of them, but the eldest brother can only be beaten."
Chu Shangming: "..."
He's not that weak.
Chu Yuxin ran into the kitchen and brought a bowl of hot water to her brother, "Sister said she won't be able to sleep after drinking tea at night, so please just drink water. Auntie is making noodles. You have to wait a while to eat noodles."< br>
"No rush." Chu Shangming took a sip of hot water and saw his little sister holding her little face with her hands and staring at him with a pair of big eyes.
"Ask whatever you want, brother, can I still tell you?"
"Wait until the elder brother finishes drinking the water before asking." Child Chu Yuxin felt that she still had some patience.
Chu Shangming drank half of the bowl of hot water before placing the bowl on the stone table. The clear voice of a little girl immediately sounded in his ears, "Big brother, big brother, how did you get out of prison?"
"The guard who let me out said that someone from above protected me."
"Is there someone above?" Chu Yuxin looked up at the sky and asked doubtfully, "Who is above?"
Chu Shangming shook his head, "I don't know."
Chu Yuxin blinked and guessed: "Brother, do you know any high-ranking officials?"
Chu Shangming then shook his head.
"That's strange." Chu Yuxin wrinkled her nose, "Then why did you come out, brother?"
Chu Shangming himself was still confused, so it was naturally impossible for him to give her an answer.
Chu Yuxin changed the question: "Brother, why were you arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to prison?" "Because of Brother Chai."
Chu Yuxin tilted her head: "Brother Chai?"
"Yes." Chu Shangming said, "The Jin Yiwei who let me out said that Brother Chai is a remnant of the Fifth Prince, and I was sent to prison because of his involvement."
Chu Yuxin frowned and asked in confusion: "What are the remnants of the fifth prince?"
"He is a bad guy, the one the emperor wants to arrest."
Chu Yuxin understood, "The person the emperor wants to arrest must be a good or bad person."
Sister said in her letter that the current emperor is a good emperor who thinks about the people.
Chu Shangming nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to pick up the bowl and drink some hot water, a voice of "Ah" suddenly came from his ears, which scared him so much that he almost dropped the bowl.
He quickly held the bowl and looked at his little sister helplessly: "What's wrong?"
"Brother, I know who the person above is." Chu Yuxin pointed to the sky excitedly, "It's Sister!"
"Ah?" Chu Shangming was so surprised that he even raised his voice a little higher, "Have you sent a message to the palace?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Shhhhhhhhh, brother, please keep your voice down."
Chu Yuxin turned her head and glanced at the kitchen. She was relieved when she saw that Mr. Bai didn't hear her, and turned to glare at her brother.
"My mother-in-law won't let me write to my sister. If my mother-in-law knows that I secretly sent a letter to the palace, brother, will you help me get beaten?"
My own mother used a carrying pole to beat people. When she hit her, she might have screamed loudly so that she wouldn't fall on him, but she hit him for real.
Chu Shangming quickly shook his head and said in a very unloving way: "Whoever asks for it will be beaten. Your eldest brother can't stand two carrying poles."
Chu Yuxin pouted, "Sister, I'm getting beaten for you."
"She just talks about it." Chu Shangming exposed it ruthlessly, "She is in the palace. Is it possible for her to go into the palace with a pole and beat her?"
"I won't tell you anymore." Chu Yuxin stamped her feet, "Anyway, sister is the best."
"Yes, yes, your sister is the best." Chu Shangming said perfunctorily, but he thought about it in his heart.
Youmiao is just a tea-serving maid in front of the emperor, and it is impossible to instigate the Jinyi Guards.
The prison has a reputation of being dangerous, and those who enter it may lose their skin at worst, or lose their lives at worst.
The people who were caught together with him received several whippings at the least and severe punishment at the worst. Only he, apart from being beaten a few times in the initial chaos, nothing happened. This was obviously special treatment. .
He has something to do with Youmiao, and he can get Jin Yiwei to let him out without even interrogating him. This person can only be the emperor!
According to common sense, the emperor has many things to do every day, how could he interfere with the business of such a lowly citizen like him?
But now that the emperor is in charge... he must have benefited from Youmiao.
What benefit can Youmiao, a little palace maid, bring to the emperor?
A guess suddenly popped into my mind. Could it be that... Youmiao clung to the emperor in order to save him?
Chu Shangming trembled.
Not out of excitement, but out of fear.
In a place like the palace that cannibalizes people, I can't give you any help. If you really want to fight for Lao Shizi's favor, you won't be able to get even the bones and dregs left!
Chu Shangming's heart suddenly lifted.
Youmiao said that she would leave the palace to reunite with them when she turned twenty-five. Wouldn't she really be willing to risk everything to save him?
Chu Shangming glanced around the small courtyard where he was, his face getting paler.
This has already rescued him, so he must have crawled!
Woohoo, his poor older sister!
Woohoo, he hurt Youmiao, he is not a good brother!
Woohoo, he can go back to prison and be tortured, please do it again! !
