Luan Feng Laiyi (22)

"Where is the grandson?" Zhang Wenhua hurriedly asked.

The subordinate officer gasped, "If you go back to your lordship, the person is already on the dock. The Governor has already gone to meet him, and sent someone to report it quickly, and the Lord will go to the dock immediately......"

Zhang Wenhua immediately beckoned, and his own subordinates came over to change clothes with official uniforms. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

While stretching out his arms and getting dressed by his subordinates, he also called to his subordinates: "First send all the submissions to the yamen of the prosecutor for punishment, and handle the sentence according to the prosecutor." Also, tell Lord Chow...... Let's just say that the dumplings delivered yesterday are not good, and the skin is broken. ”

The subordinate officer said 'hmm?', and then responded in a daze: "Yes!"

Not to mention that Zhang Wenhua hurriedly walked out, he said that he had also received the news that he had arrived at the gate of the yamen and was about to get on the horse.

The master asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Zhou Chuandong said in a low voice: "The dumpling skin is broken...... Don't you understand? That's it...... It's exposed!"

Suddenly, big beads of sweat came down from the master's head, "What can I do about this?"

"What should I do?" Zhou Chuan Dongqiang smiled: "The person is not what we are looking for, what does it have to do with us?"

Master nodded: "That's!

Seeing that his master led someone to urge the horse to go away, the master's legs were weak and he almost sat on the ground. It took a long time to recover. He gritted his teeth and shouted at Menzi: "Lead the horse here, quickly!"

Menzi came over with a smile: "What's the small thing to run errands for you......"

The master pushed him away: "What's the matter with you? Get down!"

Menzi saw that this expression was wrong, and quickly knelt on the ground. The master stepped on Menzi's back, and only then did he reluctantly climb onto the horse's back, and the horse moved with a flick of the whip.

It wasn't until the sound of horses' hooves was far away that Menzi dared to get up, "It's evil today, even this coward has ridden a horse......"

Sun Dian, an official from Tang County, touched a nail in the governor's yamen and came to the yamen of the criminal department. Before I could get to the front, I saw a chaotic scene again. But the adult in the second-grade purple robe hurriedly left with someone, but he saw it really.

That's the one who brought the punishment.

But the adults are not here, what is going on?

Liu Dazhuang, the head catcher, said: "These are all big yamen, and it looks like it's not small, we can't even touch the door......

The official Sun took out two taels of silver and handed it to Liu Dazhuang: "Let's go and inquire first, why did you come back? and his eyes were blackened. ”

Then Liu Dazhuang came back and said, "...... The grandson is here...... His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson has come down......"

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, "We've met a grand scene." ”

What a fart!

So many adults are gone, but at this time, the grandson came. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Where is such a coincidence?

Sun Dianguan immediately said: "Let's go, go back to the city, and submit the submission to the prefect's yamen according to the regulations, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us." If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave. ”

Liu Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't dare to disobey. This Sun Warden is considered an old qualification in the county. Evergains have generally survived one county order after another, and their ability to look at their eyes is first-class.

This side drove the carriage neatly in the direction of the city gate, but as soon as he left the city gate, the city gate began to be under martial law. Like those who came to report the news, none of them could leave, saying that the Criminal Investigation Department wanted to leave them to assist in handling the case.

This kind of big case is mixed in, it is to find death!

Liu Dazhuang was afraid: "Thanks to you." ”

Sun Dianzhi often let out a sigh, "Hurry back, this time the sky is going to change." ”

"Change the sky?"

Looking at Master Tian who came to report the news, Xia Yinshan, the father of the salt merchant Xia Jinhe, covered his chest with a cane and sneered, "The sky is still that day, it's them idiots who want to turn the sky upside down." The sky is the sky, and it can't be turned over!"

Master Tian felt that he couldn't understand this old man, "...... What about Master Xia, this matter is very involved......

"It's a big deal?" Old Man Xia smiled: "Now I know that it's big involved? It's over! Looking for Xia Jinhe......? I've been missing since yesterday......"

Master Tian was stunned: "No...... No...... It's gone...... Then why don't you go to the yamen and say...... "Otherwise, it wouldn't be so unprepared."

He hurried out again, and he had to tell the master about it.

Xia Yinshan turned around at this time: "Come out!

Xia Jinhe came out of the study, "Dad, what should I do now? I'm afraid that when people know that they have kidnapped the wrong person, they will come to find their son." Even so many officials have been arrested, who are the people who are dispatched...... I'm afraid that I can't hide it at home. ”

Xia Yinshan raised his hand and slapped him: "Lao Tzu handed over the family business to you early, what kind of bastard are you doing." Do you know that you're going to bring your family to their death......"

Xia Jinhe covered his face: "Dad...... If we don't do this, do you think we will have a way to live? If we really wait for the imperial court to run out of money, will we be able to keep our own money? The hard work of several generations! Speaking of which, it is also a well-known name, the first merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. But in fact, it is not the cattle and sheep that are kept in captivity by the royal family, and they are fattened and slaughtered when they are needed. Daddy, son......"

Xia Yinshan waved his hand: "Shut your mouth." Go to the study and stay in the secret room. I'll take care of the rest. ”

Xia Jinhe's eyes lit up: "Yes! Father!"

Xia Yinshan sat in the hall, a little stunned.

The old housekeeper came over: "Old lady, what now?"

Xia Yinshan smiled sadly: "The second child was kidnapped, and the boss broke through this monstrous disaster again." What do you say you should do to save the lives of your family?"

The old butler's face turned pale: "This ...... This ......" he shook his head, "Master, it's not that far, you can figure out how to ......"

Think of a way?

What can you do?

Xia Yinshan closed his eyes for a long time, and opened his eyes suddenly: "Call someone to inquire, where is the grandson moving?"

Where can Taisun go?

She was in the most ordinary inn on the dock, talking to Chang Zhonghe.

Chang Zhonghe is the governor of Liangjiang, and when he saw the grandson, he saluted, and the first thing he said was: "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come like this." "The car is simple, and I don't have a few people with me.

"Sit down. Lin Yutong pointed to the long chair next to him, picked up the teapot and poured him a bowl of coarse tea, "With Chang Gong here, why be afraid?!"

Chang Zhonghe's face was complicated, "The minister is derelict in his duties...... The minister is guilty......"

Lin Yutong waved his hand: "If you are not guilty, don't say it first." After taking the boat all the way, I was really tired. Settle down, and want to rest. ”

"Yes!" Chang Zhonghe couldn't figure out this person's temper, got up and said: "There is a brook garden in the city, which is also chic." You see?"

Lin Yutong nodded: "The guest is as he pleases, and it is good for Chang Gong to arrange it." ”

This sentence 'the guest is as the host goes', and Chang Zhonghe was scared into a cold sweat.

Who is the lord and who is the guest? In this world, except for the royal people, who dares to say a word about the master.

Chang Zhonghe smiled bitterly, wanting to ask for guilt, but the grandson over there had already risen. The few adults who had just arrived kneeling at the door of the inn walked over as if they hadn't seen it.

Zhang Wenhua and Zhou Chuandong didn't even see the grandson's face clearly, but they were already on the sedan chair over there.

The sedan chair walked away, and this group of people dared to stand up.

Lu Xuchen, the political envoy, asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhang Wenhua waved his hand: "Don't say anything, hurry up and follow." "It's because the person who came is not good, and there may be a lot of fire in my stomach along the way. Don't hit it up at this time.

Creek Garden, but there are some Jiangnan gardens.

This is not very amazing in Lin Yutong's eyes. Chang Zhonghe accompanied him all the way, I really can't imagine that this one grew up in Beikang.

When he arrived at the place, Lin Yutong said that he would rest if he rested. The rest is left to Tim Fu.

As soon as Tian Fu spoke, it was the tone of the palace, "Lord Chang, please step down...... His Highness rested ......"

Chang Zhonghe said: "If there is anything incompetent, please speak out...... the Prime Minister."

Tian Fu smiled meaningfully: "Lord Chang, the slave said a bad word, and His Highness said a 'guest is as the master goes', which is just a kind word, why are you still ......?"

What's not to do?

If you don't know what you want, just change it! Do you still want to pass him?

Chang Zhonghe patted his head, he was really confused. Why did you say that?

After confessing his guilt again and again, he said: "The lower official is waiting for His Highness to summon him in the outer courtyard." ”

But His Highness didn't want to summon them so soon. I have a sword hanging over my head, and I guess it's the most uncomfortable when I wait for it to fall.

When the people left, Lin Yutong handed Ming Fan a sign: "Send people and go to Elm Lane to allocate people." The defense of Xiyuan has been replaced. The outer courtyard was guarded for me, and I was only allowed to enter but not to go out. ”

Tian Fu wiped the sweat on his head: "If you really detain people like this, in two days, the capital should know the news." ”

Also, there are no officials in these two provinces, but I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Can't mess around!

Lin Yutong said: "Tomorrow morning, go to Nanshan Academy." ”

The Creek Garden is divided into the inner and outer gardens, the outer garden generally only houses male guests, and the inner garden is a place for female dependents. When the grandson came down this time, he didn't bring a single female dependent, so the grandson lived in by himself, taking the three princes and a few retinues.

The outer garden is now left to these adults, sitting on the chairs in the hall one by one, drinking tea cup after cup, and no one dares to speak easily.

For two hours, it was dark, and there was still no news in it. Only one bowl of rice, two dishes of vegetarian dishes, and one bowl of soup per person, no one cares about it.

The feudal officials, the important members of a province, who has suffered this grievance?

"Someone!" Zhou Chuandong put down his chopsticks heavily and called the housekeeper of Xiyuan.

But the housekeeper didn't come, and when he came in, he was a strong man dressed in black, and at first glance he was in the army. But this person seems to have not been seen in Taisun's entourage.

Zhou Chuandong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Qianxue, the commander of the capital, "Lord Tang, is it your subordinate?"

Tang Qianxue shook his head, only staring at this person's boots, and then shuddered in his heart: "But the Lord of the Five Worms?"

This man only glanced at Tang Qianxue coldly, and then looked at Zhou Chuandong: "I don't know if Lord Zhou is dissatisfied?"

Where does Zhou Chuandong dare to be dissatisfied?

Five-beetle division...... Why did it come out of Jiangnan? He looked at Zhang Wenhua, as if asking if he had received the news before.

Zhang Wenhua's hand holding the soup bowl trembled a little, but he lowered his eyelids, what is the use of saying this now. The point is that the five beetles have popped up again.

It's going to kill you.

As soon as Zhou Chuandong saw Zhang Wenhua's reaction, he apologized to the military master of the Five Worms Division with a stiff face: "It's okay...... Nothing to ...... I just want to ask Your Highness if you will summon him today?"

People didn't even take care of it, so they went out directly.

When the meal is over, the plates are all gone. The hall was lit up, the door of the hall was closed, and the atmosphere in the hall was even more tense.

Zhou Chuandong said to Chang Zhonghe: "Your Excellency, we are all members of one party, Your Highness can't treat us like this?"

Chang Zhonghe glanced at him with slanted eyes, closed his eyes and recuperated, without saying a word.

"Lord Futai. Zhou Chuandong looked at Zhang Wenhua again, "What do you say?"

Zhang Wenhua said angrily: "What does Lord Zhou want to tell this official to say?"

"Your Royal Highness Taisun......" Lu Xuchen said softly, "Does His Royal Highness Taisun have any misunderstanding about us?" As he spoke, he looked at Yu Gengyuan, the salt envoy, and Zhu Shiheng, the salt division, "What do the two adults say?"

Yu Gengyuan's face was calm, and he chuckled: "What is Lord Lu anxious about? Since it was a misunderstanding, His Royal Highness Taisun always has a time to understand." Patience is what there is to be anxious about. ”

If you still don't believe it, all the big people will be locked up here and don't ask questions? For three days at most, the imperial court will not receive any report from Jiangnan Road, so it will be anxious first. So, don't rush, just wait patiently.

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Finally, I did a good job of psychological construction, but the door of the hall opened again, and the outside shouted, "Please Governor Chang Lord." ”

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed again: this is a summons from Taisun.

But Chang Zhonghe noticed that when it was spread outside, it said 'please' instead of 'call'.

The difference of one word, he knew it in his heart. It's not the grandson who wants to see him.

Sure enough, it was not only the grandson who saw it, but the boy who knew whose child it was at a glance.

The fourth master got up and saluted Chang Zhonghe, "Lord Chang is polite." ”

Chang Zhonghe didn't know what kind of relationship this young man had with his grandson, his body was deviated, and he didn't accept his courtesy, so he only asked with a smile: "The old man is good, is he okay?"

"My grandfather was in good health. The fourth master invited the other party to sit down, asked someone to serve tea, and said, "Master Chang, I came to see you, not the meaning of the grandson." ”

Chang Zhonghe was stunned for a moment, and his shoulders suddenly loosened, "Thank you." ”

The fourth master pushed the tea over: "I'm coming over now, just to listen to you." If there's anything you want to say, just tell me. ”

Chang Zhonghe shook his head: "I'll call out 'virtuous nephew'." ”

The fourth master bowed his head, "Grandfather often mentions Master Chang at home, not an outsider. ”

Speaking of Yin Bofang, a trace of tears flashed in Chang Zhonghe's eyes, "The most sorry thing for me is the old man." He promoted me and Weimo and entrusted me with important tasks...... But what about me? Jiangnan is now what it is now, and I can't escape the blame for my crimes......."

The fourth master turned the wrench on his finger: "You know about the robbery and murder of the grandson in advance?"

Chang Zhonghe smiled bitterly: "I know the danger, and the grandson also knows the danger, but the grandson still comes." The grandson has to do too much, and whoever gets in the way of his wealth will have to work hard. I also want to suppress bandits, but what can I do to suppress them? They all say that Jiangnan is rich...... But where did Jiangnan still get the money? Finally, he managed to make some money...... But this has to be sent to the southeast coast, and this money is not daring to be transported to the capital, but I am afraid that it will be easy to transport it in, and it will be difficult to transport it out...... At that time, the Taishi had an explanation, he said, no matter how difficult it is, every year a part of it must be taken out from Jiangnan and sent directly to the southeast...... If anyone is missing, they will not dare to lack the silver of the Southeast Water Division...... The Taishi once said that the plague is a big trouble in the heart, and the plague of bandits is just a disease of boils...... Boils cannot be eradicated, but small itches are not painful, but they can suffer differently......"

The fourth master somewhat understood. Chang Zhonghe is not an absolute clean official, but he is an official with a bottom line. It's not that he doesn't do practical things when he is in office, and it's not that he can't see the drawbacks of government affairs, but what if he sees it? He can't solve it! Who can he rely on? Can he support the left and right for so many years, and when the court asks for silver, he can pull it out and send it over. On the southeast coast, there is no shortage of silver delivered every year, and although the people's lives are hard, there is no civil uprising. This is also inseparable from his efforts.

To this person, the fourth master said: "In your opinion, this incident is ...... What's next?" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Chang Zhonghe smiled: "What happened to the grandson this time...... Now, the people outside must have been panicked, and stabilizing the people's hearts is the most important thing. Secondly, subordinate officers can be temporarily selected to handle affairs......"

The fourth master got up and looked out the window: "There is something that needs to be done by Chang Zhonghe." ”

Chang Zhonghe was slightly stunned: "I don't know if it's the meaning of the grandson, or the meaning of the master?"

"It's the same. The fourth master said: "Grandfather never thought of murdering the grandson, but who is willing to listen to the following......?

Chang Zhonghe lowered his head silently, "I don't know what ...... is going on."

The fourth master explained in a low voice, Chang Zhonghe's eyes narrowed, but he didn't hesitate, "Got it." Will definitely do it!"

I will do so.

Will do so and go.

Out of Xiyuan, Chang Zhonghe found that the entire Jinling City not only did not have such a big incident because of it, but it was full of excitement.

Sitting in the sedan chair, I can still hear the sound of talking on the street, and it is even more applauding.

The attendant on the side whispered outside the sedan chair: "My lord...... The people of the Xia family ...... outside the Creek Garden."

Chang Zhonghe's eyes opened suddenly: "Xia family?" he said 'heh', "Taisun...... It's done!"

How did it come to be?

Xia Yinshan trembled and received the medicine bowl in the hand of the old butler, and his tears came down with a brush: "Evil obstacle!

The old butler stopped the old master's arm: "...... Old gentleman...... Not to ...... that step"

Xia Yinshan pushed the old housekeeper away: "Since the grandson and those adults entered the Xiyuan, only the governor was released just now. Don't you understand what that means? It's about extermination. Taisun's methods are much tougher than the old man thought. If you want the family to survive, you have to be ruthless. Who can he blame for his own desperate journey? Assassinating the Taisun, this is a rebellion, and it is to punish the Nine Clans!" he took a deep breath, "Go! Open the door of the secret room." ”

The old butler choked up and began to cry, but he still found the key and opened the secret room.

Xia Jinhe was lying on the couch and sleeping on all fours, and he could see that he was sleeping soundly when he was hiding here.

When the lights in the secret room came on, Xia Jinhe woke up in a daze, "Dad, it's so late, you haven't rested yet." That's right...... Is there any news out there?"

"No news. Xia Yinshan said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, "It's just a matter of breaking wealth and eliminating disasters." Spend money to buy peace, this money, our family spends. ”

Xia Jinhe's heart was relieved, "That's good...... That's good...... Also, when the grandson went to the south of the Yangtze River, he asked for silver for the imperial court. No matter how impassioned it is in the court, there is actually only one purpose -- silver! Besides, those who are high up in the sky, which is not one set of words and another set of ...... hearts"

Xia Yinshan said 'um': "Today, I saw that the Diao family transported silver from the silver treasury, you will also go out early tomorrow morning, collect the silver, and redeem the second child." ”

Xia Jinhe nodded hurriedly: "Go back and give one of the pawnshops at home to the second child, but this time I suffered for me." ”

Xia Yinshan pushed the medicine bowl forward with a trembling hand, "Calming the nerves." Drink and go to sleep. There's something big to do tomorrow morning. ”

"Dad!" Xia Jinhe couldn't help but laugh, "my son is not so unhelpful, and this thing is not so frightening." ”

"Hard mouth!" Xia Yinshan pushed the medicine bowl forward again, "You have been a ...... since you were a child I was scared in the middle of the night and had a convulsion...... No one is looking at you in this secret room, if there is a ...... Drink it, and you can sleep soundly after drinking. ”

Xia Jinhe looked at his elderly father and smiled embarrassedly, "The son made my father worried." As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and took a sip, "Well, why is it so bitter? It tastes weird." ”

"On the side is preserves. Xia Yinshan twisted his face to the side, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

Xia Jinhe poured a bowl of medicine into it, and hurriedly took the candied fruit, "Then father should rest early." ”

Xia Yinshan nodded, but didn't move, only said: "Boss, you have blamed me for favoring your second child since I was a child." But now that you think about it, what am I biased towards the second child? You got eighty percent of the family business...... Now, you are also a person who has grandchildren, but what do you do...... But it's also very reckless. I told you a long time ago that wealth is not exposed. You have to listen to it, and you have to fight for the title of the richest businessman in the world. Our Xia family ancestors had several ups and downs, and they were all defeated in mixing in political affairs. But what about you? Can't you make a fortune quietly and do business? If you have that money, you can spend money to buy a fictitious job, so that the children of the family can study and improve, and change your court. But you didn't take it to heart. Now...... In order to protect the family, don't blame me for being a father. If you really want to blame, when you get to the other end, let's talk about it. ”

Xia Jinhe looked at Xia Yinshan in astonishment, and then his eyes fell on the medicine bowl that only left residues, "Medicine ...... Medicine...... Daddy, this medicine ......"

Xia Yinshan turned his face, and his face was full of wrinkles and tears.

The expression on Xia Jinhe's face was like crying and laughing: "Dad...... You are so ruthless...... "Slowly, the body slid down, only to feel that the eyelids were heavy, "Dad, ......" The two calls of Dad were not finished, and the person lost his breath.

The old butler came in and lay on the ground and cried: "Master......"

Xia Yinshan got up, his body shook twice, "Call someone, mourn...... Prepare a sedan chair, Creek Garden. ”

Xiyuan, Lin Yutong didn't stop either. The woman standing in front of her was a little worried.

This person is the leader of the Five Worm Division, known as the 'Three Ladies'.

As soon as the third lady came up, she spoke: "The five beetle divisions have long existed in name only, and today's five beetle divisions are not the five beetle divisions of the past, so the brothers can afford to pay this price." ”

Lin Yutong said: "If you really think that the Five Worms Division should be disbanded, why do you gather together?"

The third lady sneered: "The reason for gathering in one place is because there is a big revenge that has not been avenged, otherwise, they would have gone their separate ways." With the ability of the brothers, where can you not change a bowl of rice to eat. ”

This is also true.

When the five beetles were founded, when they first followed Emperor Wu to fight the world, they were just petty thieves, ruffians, and traitors, and Emperor Wu included them in it, and was mainly responsible for listening to news, assassination, surveillance, and other unsightly things. After the founding of the country, a division was also officially set up, called the Five Worm Division. Only obey the emperor's orders. From generation to generation, because of its pervasiveness, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government avoided it like a snake and scorpion. This is not surprising.

The Five Worm Division is actually a yamen similar to a secret agency. It's not very likable.

When Lin Yutong was in Beikang, he heard Lin Houzhi say it. The yamen, which was very valued by the emperor, was suddenly purged about twenty-three or four years ago. After that, there was no news of the five beetles. The emperor didn't mention it, and no one touched it. Slowly, many people forgot that there was such a yamen.

When the fourth master looked through the Yin family's collection, he found relevant records. And, in the corner of the secret room of the study, find a box in which a bronze plaque and a letter are placed. The front of the bronze plaque is a 'ling', and the back is a 'beetle' character. And the letter contains contact details. The fourth master brought these things out, and he didn't expect many people, but in fact, he didn't disappoint anyone.

The point is, a call, and they came without saying a word.

Loyalty, even after more than 20 years, has not faded in the slightest. Everyone who came, the clothes and shoes on their bodies were new. But the folds are noticeable. That's what it means to be ready all the time.

Lin Yutong said, "Can you tell me what grievances I have suffered?"

The third lady smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." ”

"But why did the king want to die, there must be a reason. Lin Yutong poured tea for the other party, "What is the reason why you have been purged, and there are less than two out of ten survivors." ”

The third lady played with the token in her hand: "What if you say it, Your Highness can make decisions for us?"

"Why not?" Lin Yutong looked at her strangely, "What I did this time, others can't see it, but the third lady must be insightful." I've always wondered why these adults haven't heard anything about me. Didn't anyone report me when they intercepted me on the land? I knew when I saw the third lady, but I was afraid that the third lady secretly helped me. Regardless of the monarch and the minister now, if you want to talk about it, I already owe you and the brothers of the Five Worms two favors. Just think of it as a return of favors, and I will do this Lord for you. You should see that if I plan to do something, no one will try to stop it, and I can't stop it if I want to. ”

The third lady grabbed the token and tightened her hand: Can you believe the young grandson in front of you?

Lin Yutong smiled, "More than 20 years have passed...... The men who were in the prime of life are now in their twilight years. Your new subordinates have not experienced what happened back then, and it is difficult for them to empathize with your pain, and time will dilute everything. If one day you're gone, who will really remember the past?"

The third lady raised her head sharply and asked Lin Yutong, "Your Highness, do you believe that there are immortals in this world?"

Immortal?

Don't say that I haven't seen it in my life, I haven't seen it in so many lifetimes.

She asked, "Have you ever seen a fairy?"

"No!" the third lady licked her lips, "I prefer to believe that it's a youkai." ”

Monster?

"What's wrong?" Lin Yutong said strangely, "Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

The third lady nodded: "There is something out of nothing...... Telekinesis...... The mysterious disappearance has reappeared...... Doesn't that count?"

To make something out of nothing is to take something out of thin air.

This is it...... Of course you can do it yourself.

Don't?

She had a guess in her heart, so she hurriedly asked, "Is it true that you saw it with your own eyes?"

"Yes!" the third lady smiled bitterly, her whole face was white, "We didn't dare to act rashly all these years, we were afraid of this monster ......"

Oh! That makes sense.

Why is the ability of one by one hidden in the market and willing to be mediocre, it turns out to be the fear of the unknown.

Understandable.

The third lady picked up the hot tea and drank two cups in a row, and then said: "Twenty-three years ago, that woman suddenly appeared in the capital. ”

The word "suddenly?" is really weird.

"Yes! just suddenly. The third lady's tone was hurried, "That day, I remember very clearly, it was the third year of the emperor's accession to the throne, and that day happened to be Qixi Festival." The emperor wanted to take the queen out of the palace, but the second prince cried endlessly, and the mother couldn't get out. The emperor left the palace by himself. I was placed by the emperor's side by the Grand Commander...... The five beetles are different from the guards, the guards are all sensible and reasonable, we are disguised as inconspicuous little people, by the emperor's side, in case of accidents. Suddenly, a lot of people screamed, and people crowded next to each other. When I looked up, I saw all the people looking up at the sky. I saw a woman in white sitting on a strange thing, slowly floating down from the sky. Seeing that it was about to fall, the people around him scattered in a hurry, only His Majesty stood in place, and we didn't dare to leave. I saw with my own eyes that strange thing fall in front of His Majesty. Then the woman in white stepped down from what looked like a strange basket. His majesty asked her what she was, where she came from, and where she was going. The woman giggled and said that she had come from heaven and was going back to heaven. I passed by here just to meet Your Majesty......"

Hearing this, Lin Yutong basically knew the approximate identity of this woman. Then I couldn't help but show an indescribable expression, for that woman, it was just a flirtatious thing to say as a joke, that's all. But the meaning of the emperor is probably different.

"Later, His Majesty asked her what her name was, and she said that her name was Xiaolongnu......"

Little Dragon Girl?

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yutong squirted out the tea in one gulp.

"What?" the third lady looked at Lin Yutong suspiciously, "Your Highness has heard of the little dragon girl?"

Heard!

"No!" Lin Yutong shook his head resolutely, "I haven't heard of it." I just think it's ...... Incredible. ”

"Yes!" is incredible! The third lady said in a low voice: "Your Majesty also thinks it is incredible. So he brought the woman into the palace. In order not to attract the attention of others, the emperor ...... Approached Concubine Chen to the palace. Concubine Chen is a widow, and she suddenly won the favor of the emperor, and the capital was in an uproar. Another five beetles sent someone to release the news, saying that the mysterious basket was just a big Kong Ming lantern, and I don't know whose daughter-in-law was naughty and played like this. This topic was quickly overshadowed by the idea that the emperor favored a widow. After so many years, who still mentions this matter without asking in detail?"

Nobody ever mentioned it!

"And then?" Lin Yutong asked her, "What did you find strange in spying on her?"

The third lady said with difficulty: "Locked her in the secret room, but she is doing well." What is in the chamber is nothing, we know very well. But she always has hot soup and hot meals for three meals a day. Occasionally, I take out some fruits that we have never seen before, and eat them sweetly. Every now and then it suddenly disappears, and it comes out again every once in a while. She didn't seem to know that she was being watched by the Five Worms, and her mind was unexpectedly simple, as if she didn't know anything about the world. The Commander reported this to the Holy Lord...... But the saint thinks that she is an immortal. The emperor released her and asked her if she had an immortal method to teach...... The woman said yes, but if she wants to pass on the immortal law, she must agree to one condition......"

"What conditions?" Lin Yutong said: "Gold and silver treasures, high-ranking officials?"

The third lady shook her head: "No, no! Originally, she said that she wanted all kinds of prescriptions, whether it was a prescription or a prescription, as long as it was a secret technique." It's just that after meeting Lord Yin Bo Fang Yin, she changed her mind......"

As he was talking, Tian Fu's voice sounded outside: "Your Highness, the salt merchant Xia family is here." ”

The Xia family?

Before Lin Yutong could speak, the third lady's face changed suddenly, and she said to Lin Yutong: "Your Highness, the Xia family was involved with that woman back then. When you get a chance, you ask them...... The sudden rise of the Xia family is inseparable from that woman......"

This made Lin Yutong wonder: "You haven't moved, do you think that woman is still alive?"

The third lady nodded, and her face became even more terrifying: "If she wants, she can give up one skin and exchange it for another! Concubine Li is from a small family, why do you think she entered the palace?"

Yes?
