Chapter 707: Izumi Shikibu
“…… Huh?"
The innkeeper took a step back, his eyes wide open, and his hand suddenly moved because of the samurai's bloodstained body, and his whole body trembled, and his throat made a staccato breathing sound.
"Ah......" The innkeeper had just been sure that the samurai was dead, and in the face of resurrection from the dead, the innkeeper, who was not afraid, swallowed his saliva, took a few steps back, and a burst of horror surged from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't even make a sound, so he could only stare wide-eyed, at a loss.
"He is not dead, there is still a last bit of life, and there is still a little bit of qi in his body......" Pei Ziyun only glanced at it, and knew what the innkeeper was thinking, and said: "I hope to return to the light and say something!"
This person's life is gone, and it is obvious that he is hopeless, even so, he doesn't care about living a few more minutes, just now, all the remaining vitality of this body has exploded.
Sure enough, Ichiro Yamazaki slowly opened his eyes, his lips were chapped and blackened, and he could see the person in front of him clearly, with a trace of anxiety on his face, desperately trying to squeeze out a sentence, which made his breath sound like a broken flute, but he could exert enough strength, and finally only said two words: "...... Husbands and people ......"
After speaking, his head tilted and he lost his breath.
"This, this samurai lord is ...... now" The innkeeper trembled over at this time, looked at the person who was slowly placed on the ground by Pei Ziyun in horror, and swallowed his saliva again.
Pei Ziyun said in a deep voice: "I'm really dead now, let's do things according to the rules!"
The innkeeper's face was bitter, the innkeeper died, if he died together, he could make a small fortune, and now he naturally had to compensate, as for solving the young man in front of him, he didn't think about it - he was the owner of the inn, and he didn't go to robbers.
Pei Ziyun was in no mood to comfort, looked around, and suddenly, his eyes fell not far from Yamazaki Ichiro's body.
At this time, the sky was just about to be lit outside, and only a lantern was lit at the door, and it was dim and dim.
In this case, the sparkling thing is a bit eye-catching.
Pei Ziyun bypassed the corpse, walked a few steps, bent down, and picked up the object.
Holding it in the palm of his hand, he carefully identified it and found that this was a delicately crafted piece of silver jewelry, heavy and expensive.
Even if ordinary people can afford to buy silver jewelry of this weight, they will not be able to move a master who can have this kind of craftsmanship, and the woman who can afford to use this kind of silver jewelry must be a nobleman.
"This kind of inn is very ordinary, even if there are few ordinary women, most of them are low-level samurai, how can there be noble women here?"
"Could it be that Yamazaki met really Mrs. Shikibe?"
Pei Ziyun frowned slightly, although Izumi Shibu is a famous amorous woman, but her objects are all powerful and princes, even if she is looking for someone to spring breeze for a while, how can she go to this kind of place and spend the night with a low-level samurai?
Not to mention the strangeness of Yamazaki Ichiro's death, which may be related to the "lady" in his mouth.
Although Pei Ziyun's identity as "Young Master Yamada" is fictional, he does not intend to put this identity aside immediately, the power in the shadows has not yet been put on purpose, and the son has not been found, Pei Ziyun intends to act according to the current identity.
Holding the silver jewelry in his hand, he closed his eyes and pondered, and after a moment, his face changed.
"No, there is a huge force that is interfering and suppressing me when I come here!"
"This is the same as the Tako incident, she should be in Heiankyo, but there is a power to isolate my perception, this is the power of God. ”
"Hmph, it's too deceitful. "Pei Ziyun is not without a big killing weapon, summoning the power of the two worlds, which is enough to tear apart this suppression.
"That's it, find him first, and then it's not too late to lift the table. ”
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun walked in front of the innkeeper, and the other party also came to his senses at this time.
After all, the other party has been working here for a long time, and this is not the first time that such a thing as a dead person has happened, although the corpse was a little frightened just now, it will not be directly picked.
"Boss, this person is my subordinate, since the person is dead, he must be resettled, don't worry, I won't ask you to pay all the money, I'll give you some money, you go buy a coffin first." ”
As he spoke, Pei Ziyun took out a silver judgment and threw it to the other party.
The silver judgment is a silver ingot cast in Japan, oblong cake shape, which is the standard one tael.
Anyway, this money is not his own, it belongs to the "Young Master Yamada", Pei Ziyun is too lazy to be more serious about this kind of detail, and the things that can be solved with money are not a thing.
"Yes, my lord, I'll do it!" After glancing outside, he found that the sky was already dark, and the boss took the silver judgment, relieved himself, and beckoned the guy to handle it.
Although the death of someone in the shop is not a trivial matter, but it is just a low-level samurai, and the owner of the other party opened his mouth, not as if he wanted to be investigated, and paid the money, and the result has been calculated.
The boss was afraid that Pei Ziyun would blame him, although he was still a little afraid that the sky was not bright outside, he still took the plunge, went out to buy a coffin, and asked the monk to recite the scriptures.
Japanese shrines are noble and noble, and generally do not participate in funerals, so funerals must be held by monks.
Pei Ziyun glanced at it, released his perception, and tried to search for the whereabouts of the man.
As before, it was still in vain.
In the quiet courtyard, only himself and a dead corpse were there, and it was a waste of time to continue to stay, Pei Ziyun simply got up and stepped out.
On the street outside the hotel, there were already some pedestrians at this time, and it was obviously a lot more popular than last night.
"Although Yamazaki is dead, the Orange Mansion still needs to investigate, maybe the Orange Mansion can have news of the Orange Mansion. "Grab a person and ask, and tell him that Orange Mansion needs to go a little further.
Pei Ziyun went immediately, but he didn't expect that the time to arrive at the mansion was far shorter than expected.
The hotel I stayed at last night is only a short walk from Orange House!
Look at the name of this mansion is indeed Orange Mansion, this mansion is not small, and it is by no means an ordinary person can live.
"It's the size of a half-machi. ”
In the Tang Dynasty, the town was a unit of land that was inherited by Japan, and the system of building a castle in Heiankyo and the rules for allocating residential land by officials were all imitated from Chang'an and Luoyang.
The official position is three grades or higher, and the land ration is one town (21 acres), and the Higashi-Sanjo Hall, the residence of the Fujiwara clan that has been in power for a hundred years, and the residence of Fujiwara Michicho are all two towns (43 acres)
The fourth to fifth place is 0.5 towns (10 acres), the sixth to seventh places are 0.25 towns (5 acres), the eighth to ninth places are 0.125 towns (2.5 acres), and the non-positions are about 1.25 acres.
That's pretty much the way the specs are, yes.
The size in front of him is exactly the specification of Tachibana Michigan's mansion in Beijing.
"Could it be that Izumi Shikibu is really a night dive?"
"Or maybe something happened to Izumi Shikibu, not the original person?"
"That's not right!"
Pei Ziyun's eyes fell on the open space next to the door, and he frowned.
There, an ox cart was parked, and the ox pulling the cart was slowly flicking its tail, very leisurely.
In the Heian period, except for the emperor, nobles mainly traveled by ox carts, although there were horse-drawn carriages in Tachibana, but if it was a car from Tachibana, it should not be parked here, and there would be ox carts parked here, indicating that there were guests.
But now the genius is bright, according to the boss, the current Heianjing, no one dares to wander outside in the middle of the night, this ox cart must have stopped here before last night.
"And, it's a half-grown car. "It is generally used by the emperor, princes, regents, and ministers, so what kind of distinguished guests will stay overnight in the Orange Mansion?
The answer is self-explanatory.
"It seems that the task assigned by Tachibana Michichi to the young master of the original Yamada family has been completed. ”
"Izumi Shikibu is now involved with Prince Weizun. ”
Pei Ziyun smiled and went up the stairs to knock on the door.
Orange House
Because the man is not there, although there is management, in fact, there is a sense of barrenness, not to mention anything else, there is ash in the corridor, but all this, not in the eyes, under the service of the maid has been neatly dressed Izumi Shibu, is reluctant to say goodbye to the prince.
Obviously married to a wife, Izumi Shikibu has a hint of girlish innocence, with a weak and lingering posture between his demeanor, and the vine branches and leaves that are still entangled, soft and fresh.
Especially in the spring breeze, her expression was gentle, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed joy, and she looked at Prince Zun, and a wonderful pride was born in her heart.
Therefore, he loved this lover very much, and had to leave.
"I heard that His Royal Highness was announced by the prince again, Jin Erpin, is this true?"
"If it's true, I should congratulate Your Highness. ”
"It's true, it's been suffered. Prince Weizun glanced at it, his white face was expressionless, and he was not pleased, he was silent for a moment, sighed and said, "If there is no heir, what about sealing?"
The princes and princes of Japan are divided into one, two, three and four grades.
And the courtiers except for the early confusion, later use the position is not used.
The second prince is 1,500 stones, and the courtier is only 950 stones.
It's just that although Prince Zun was recommended by his brother to take Fujiwara Yiyin's nine daughters as concubines, there were no children between the two, and he had to adopt his adopted son Fujiwara Ryotsune (real father Fujiwara Yukinari), which naturally made him depressed.
The Fujiwara family is already too powerful.
Izumi Shikibu's eyes widened in surprise: "Please don't say that, this is a great event after all, if it is not in the morning, please be sure to have a few drinks and sing and dance." ”
Wise woman.
Prince Weizun was a little sad and held her hand: "Don't worry, it's okay, I have already agreed to the conditions, and she will not disturb us, let alone hurt you." ”
"After all, I'm still a prince and I bleed Amaterasu's blood. ”
"My heart, because of my love for you, burns like fire, but the sky will soon dawn, I don't want others to see me leave from you, let alone attract discussion, in order for us to last a long time, I can only leave early, I hope you understand. ”
"Your Highness, I can understand what you said, but it is a pity that I can't watch the sun rise with you, but then I think that it is also a pleasure to be able to enjoy the snow together. ”
Izumi Shikibu, who was originally reluctant, seemed to think of the fact that he stood in front of the porch last night to enjoy the snow scene together, and he couldn't help but smile with crooked eyebrows, and Prince Weizun also laughed.
"Yes, it's wonderful to be able to see the snow with you. ”
The two of them grinded their ears and temples, and after a while, the right lieutenant, who came to the Orange Mansion together, came over to remind him that Prince Zun had to walk out with regret on his face.
At this moment, a maid hurriedly came in from outside, saluted Prince Weizun and Izumi Shikibu, and said, "Your Highness, madam, there is a samurai holding a token of Lord Tachibana Michisada, asking to see you!"
Tachibana Michi-jeong?
As soon as these three words came out, they sounded in my ears like thunder.
Izumi Shikibu, who was still in love just now, turned white at this time, and she asked for help and looked at Prince Weizun, her eyes full of panic.
