You should know that Pei Yuanhao is not the prefect of Yangzhou, nor is he a powerful gentry in any place. He is overlord, and there will be no guests in front of the emperor, only ministers.

But Xiao Fuzi said that the emperor had a guest on the spot.

In other words, this person, or these guests, was not summoned by him, but came to him.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. At this gate, I couldn't ignore anything, so Xiao Fuzi took me in and asked in a low voice: "What kind of guest is it?"

Xiao Fuzi also looked around. The people I brought were waiting outside, and the other servants did not follow him. He whispered: "It's four old people."

"Four old men?"

"Yes, all of them are gray-haired, and the youngest ones look like they are in their 100th year."

“…”

"I don't know what their name is, but I heard the old man in this mansion say that these four people have different origins, and they seem to be calling——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Tongshan?

Four old people?

I felt a little stuttered in my heart and immediately asked, "Are you, the Four Masters of Kiriyama?"

Xiao Fuzi nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, it's the Four Heroes of Kiriyama!" He said, and looked at me again: "Sir, do you know those four old men?"

I shook my head: "I don't know."

Not only did I not know them, I had never even seen them.

However, these four old people are famous, especially in the Jiangnan area. Few people do not know them.

These four people were originally four hermits. When the royal family entered the Central Plains, the Jiangnan area was ravaged by war, and people's livelihood was already withered. Due to the war, copper mines were rare and the coins circulating in the market were even more chaotic. Most of them were inferior as good ones, which caused all industries in the Jiangnan area to wither. At this time, these four hermits suddenly visited the Yangzhou government at that time and pointed out to them that there was a mountain fifteen miles outside the western suburbs of Yangzhou City, and there were a large amount of copper mines in the mountains. The government immediately sent additional personnel to investigate and found that as they said, a large amount of copper mines were mined and the official coins were cast, which allowed Yangzhou's economy to be restored.

And that mountain was named Tongshan.

In the decades later, a large part of the copper mines in the south of the official coins were from this copper mountain, but gradually, the mining of copper mines became difficult. These four hermits appeared in the Yangzhou Prefecture again. The official at that time was Liu Shizhou. They told Liu Shizhou that the underground copper veins had been exhausted. If the mining was not stopped and the copper veins were cut off, the copper mountain would no longer be able to produce copper.

Therefore, Liu Shizhou stopped mining copper ore, and the copper mountain that could not produce copper ore was abandoned and gradually grew tung trees, so it was also called Tongshan.

And the four hermits were said to have lived in seclusion on Tongshan until-

Until the last time when they appeared, Liu Qinghan held a banquet for thousands of old men in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Thinking of this, my mood became a little heavier.

However, the four heroes of Tongshan now appear in Yangzhou Prefecture and are here to ask for the emperor. They have never been concerned about the world. Is it because they will appear this time?

When I thought of this, my heart rose again.

And at this moment, we had already walked outside Chongwen Garden and looked inside through the arch. The door of the study was pushed open.

From inside, four extraordinary white-haired old men walked out.

They all looked as white as snow, their wide robes and wide sleeves looked very thin, and most of them were washed white, and they could no longer tell what color they originally were. There were patches in many places, but they did not affect their extraordinary demeanor. Moreover, the four of them were all energetic and energetic. It seemed that although they were indeed old people, they showed an extraordinary auspicious aura.

They are the four heroes of Kiriyama!

Just like this, I didn't avoid it and went up to salute them: "I've seen four seniors."

They all looked at me, and seemed to have no thoughts about me. They just returned the gift with a gift and walked out together. If I were to be normal, I would definitely want to get along with such a strange man, but today it was not the time, so I stepped aside and watched them walk out. At this time, Xiao Fuzi lowered his voice and said in my ear: "These two days, there have been many people who have come to plead for Lord Liu. Yesterday, there were several groups of people who kowtowed to the government office."

"oh……"

I nodded, and before I could even speak in a hurry, I heard Pei Yuanhao's voice coming from the study room-

"who?"

Xiao Fuzi was shocked and hurriedly walked to the door with a stern look on his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yue is here."

I was silent for a moment, and then I heard him say, "Come in."

Xiao Fuzi looked back at me, and without saying anything, I started and walked in.

As soon as he walked into the study, Xiao Fuzi stood outside the door and carefully closed the two doors.

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that the study room was divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and an inner room separated from the outer room where I was standing. In the somewhat dim light, Pei Yuanhao was sitting in front of a table.

Perhaps it was because he was wearing a black robe that made his face look a little dark. Although he was standing far away, through a bead curtain, I could clearly see the tired expression on his face and the blood-filled red eyes.

When he looked up at me, the fatigue seemed to have become deeper in an instant.

I stood in the middle of the house, not knowing whether to move forward or backward.

Finally, he spoke first.

"You're here."

"yes."

"Come in."

“…”

After a moment of silence, he still walked in.

After all, I didn’t come today to fear him. I still know very well what I was going to do.

After passing through the bead curtain, listening to the jingling sounds of the beads behind him, his spirit seemed to be slightly cheered up. He looked at me and said slowly: "I know, you will definitely come."

I said calmly: "But I don't know why the emperor gave such a judgment."

He looked up at me and said, "Do you think it was my misjudgment?"

I was silent for a moment, mixed up the question, and said, "Liu Qinghan cannot kill the eldest princess."

“…”

This time, he fell silent.

However, those blood-stained and slightly red eyes looked straight at me, and the eyes seemed to see through people. No matter whether it was the body or the soul, no slight throbbing could be hidden under his eyes.
