“Second brother!”

Chu Yaoyao ran in crying and started punching and kicking Han Jifu.

"Bad guy!"

"Why don't you protect your second brother?"

"It's all your fault!"

Chu Yaoyao was crying and kicking, imitating the disgusting naughty child she met in her previous life ten times ten.

Han Jifu was kicked by her and took several steps back.

"Princess, please forgive me. I will catch the assassin as soon as possible!"

Feeling the pain in his body and legs, he couldn't stop wondering.

He is obviously a baby, how can he have so much strength?

Chu Yaoyao pointed at him and threatened him loudly and fiercely.

"I'm going to ask my father to demote you!"

After shouting, she wiped her eyes with sobs, climbed onto the bed, and threw herself into Chu You's arms.

"Woo woo, second brother!"

"hiss!"

Chu You cooperated by taking a breath and pretending to be in pain.

Feeling a subtle warmth in his heart, he looked down and saw the little ball in his arms baring his teeth at him and winking mischievously.

“Oh no!”

"Little princess, come down quickly, His Highness's wound has split open!"

Thirteen pointed at Chu You’s chest and exclaimed.

“Your Highness!”

He Xi had just sent the doctor out when he came back and saw this scene. He was so scared that he screamed out loud.

He turned around and crawled out.

"Quick, go and get the doctor back!"

Chu Yaoyao sat on the bed, seemed to realize that she had done something wrong, and cried loudly.

The room suddenly fell into chaos. Seeing the blood on Chu You's chest, Han Jifu left with peace of mind.

"I will go catch the assassin right away and not disturb Your Highness from recovering from his injuries."

Chu Yaoyao stopped howling only when Ah Shi came in to report that Han Jifu had gone far away.

She gulped down half a glass of water to relieve her throat which was so dry that it was about to smoke.

Looking at the bloodstains on her second brother's clothes, she shook her head with some regret.

“What a pity for that chicken.”

In order to get the hot blood, Ah Shi slaughtered a chicken in the kitchen.

Seeing her like this, Chu You was about to say a few words of comfort.

Before he could speak, Chu Yaoyao waved her hand.

"Sister A-Shi, stew that chicken!"

Chu You: ...

Well, he was overthinking it.

On the other hand, after returning home, Han Jifu ordered the officers and soldiers to search for suspicious people throughout the process. He also posted the portraits of Mo Ying and others on the bulletin board and offered a large reward.

After he finished explaining, the butler looked hesitant.

"Master, this will completely break up with Xiyue."

"snort!"

Han Jifu puffed his nostrils slightly and snorted heavily.

"They used me as a shield and wanted to use me to kill someone else."

"Who knows, they are also a sharp blade to me!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone was cold and a little dangerous.

"Now that my goal has been achieved and my knife is blunt, why should I keep them around? Wait for them to bite me back?!"

Hearing this, the butler bowed slightly and walked out quietly. When he reached the door, he turned around and asked another question.

"Master, those people outside Zhuyunju?"

Han Jifu waved his hand casually, "Chu You was seriously injured, and a little kid can't cause any trouble. Now is the time to use people, so withdraw everyone."

"yes."

After an incense stick of time, the butler had reported everything to Han Yunqian.

Finally, he added, "Sir, looking at the posture of the old master just now, the Second Prince seems to be seriously injured."

"Is it heavy?"

Han Yunqian muttered in a low voice with unclear meaning.

Thinking of the news brought by the mysterious man just now, he sighed in his heart.

It seems that the Han family is about to be destroyed, and he should make preparations early.

"I understand. Keep watching. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

"yes."

The butler bowed and responded, then hurriedly left his yard carefully.

When he was the only one left in the room, Han Yunqian took out a wooden box from the drawer. When he opened it, he found an account book inside.

"I worked so hard to get this, and I didn't expect to use it so soon after I got it."

The sky gradually darkens, Zhuyunju.

Because they didn't want too many people to know that they were not injured, Chu Yaoyao and Li Wanming simply had their meal in Chu You's room.

Mou Yaoyao also drank the delicious old hen soup as she wished.

Waving the small spoon, he drank sip after sip, relishing the drink.

Seeing how greedy she was, the two of them shook their heads helplessly.

Suddenly, Li Wanming said seriously: "I have secretly sent people to track them down. This time, we will definitely catch them."

Chu You put down his chopsticks and shook his head. "No need. Let Han Jifu take care of catching the assassin."

Li Wanming recalled the news he had received two days ago. It seemed that his elder brother would be able to arrive in Luozhou soon. "Are you trying to divert Han Jifu's attention?"

Chu You gave a meaningful smile.

"Right now, Han Jifu thinks I'm seriously injured, so he must be very proud. In addition, he's anxious to catch the assassin and silence him, so he's bound to relax his surveillance on us."

Li Wanming frowned slightly, "But I still feel it's inappropriate."

"Well, before dinner, didn't you also say that the spies around Zhuyunju had been withdrawn?"

"As long as they let their guard down, my goal will be achieved."

As Chu You spoke, he picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.

Suddenly, Thirteen walked in and whispered something in his ear.

Chu You raised his eyebrows slightly, "I know."

Then he looked at Yaoyao, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said softly: "Second brother has something to deal with, let your uncle eat with you, okay?"

As long as there was something delicious to eat, Chu Yaoyao wouldn’t have time to eat with her companions, so how could she not agree?

"Brother, please come back soon. The chicken soup is not tasty when it gets cold."

"Okay, got it."

After saying that, Chu You nodded at Li Wanming and then walked out of the room.

In the study, Han Yunqian quickly turned around and saluted when he heard the noise behind him.

"Meet the Second Prince."

"No need to be so polite."

Chu You walked to the back of the desk and sat down. He raised his hand and pointed at the chair next to Han Yunqian, motioning him to sit down.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Han Yunqian raised his eyes slightly, glanced at his expression, and spoke carefully.

"During this period, perhaps they were intentionally training me. Han Jifu and his son never avoided me when they discussed things, and I also got some information."

Chu You raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh?"

Han Yunqian took out the account book from his arms.

"This is the account of the Han family's bribery of officials in the capital over the years."

Hearing this, Chu You leaned forward slightly and his hands suddenly tightened.

"You could have waited until the Han family was convicted before giving it to me, why are you giving it to me now?"

Han Yunqian put the account book on the table with a serious look on his face.

"Because I would like to use this item in exchange for a favor from Your Highness."

Looking at the account book at hand, Chu You did not rush to open it, but leaned back in his chair and looked at him.

"Tell me about it."

"I know that Your Highness pretended to be injured this time to cover up his tracks. In fact, he is preparing to attack the Han family, so I would like to ask Your Highness for help to send me, my mother, and Yun Ya out of the city to seek refuge."

Chu You kept his eyes down and remained silent.

Han Yunqian swallowed nervously and continued.

"I... have not been 'back' for long. Although I have bribed many people, I only have two guards. If there is really no one available, I would not trouble Your Highness."

Chu You nodded slightly, "Okay, when?"

“The sooner the better!”

Han Yunya has been trying every means to sneak out of the yard these days. It goes without saying that she must want to find Han Yunze.

He will not feel at ease until Han Yunze is eliminated.

He knew that the reason his grandfather spared Han Yunze's life was because he felt that it would be a pity to give up on him after spending so much time and effort in training him.

They even fantasized that Han Yunze would be able to pass the imperial examination next spring.

Unfortunately, dreams are just dreams after all, and they are destined not to live up to that day! "I'll send a few guards to go back with you."

Hearing this, Han Yunqian showed joy on his face, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Chu You picked up the account book and opened it. After just one glance, he raised his head in confusion and asked.

"Are you sure it's this one?"

"It says here that on March 22, the fifth year of Xuanzhao, 10 dan of rice was sent to Wu Zhushi of the Ministry of Personnel, and on December 25 of the same year, 5 dan of millet was sent..."

Han Yunqian explained in a low voice, "Rice refers to silver..."

Chu You's face suddenly became terribly gloomy.

"So corn refers to gold!"

The calculation of jin in ancient times is different from that in modern times. Here I calculate it based on the assumption that one stone is equal to one hundred jin.
