Chapter 200: Appeasement
Today's morning light came very late, and when I saw that the sky was no longer burning with firelight but transparent and clear, the cicada clothes in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief.
But the noise and noise outside and the heavy sound of horses' hooves had not ceased.
The low chattering in the alley also kept coming, and the chaotic footsteps continued to stop all night, and many people went out on the street, but she didn't dare.
Of course, she is not afraid of being caught, but she is not afraid of death, what she is afraid of is the consequences of her true identity, which is even more terrifying.
The door was pushed open, and Yang Jingchang walked in.
"Master. Cicada Yi stepped forward and said hurriedly, "How are they?"
Yang Jingchang said: "Don't worry, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp did not arrest anyone when they entered the city, and they also stopped the black armor guards, nor did they disperse the people, but only maintained the prevention of riots, and the people were also very quiet, just following Mr. Qingxia's coffin along the street." ”
Cicada Yi burst into tears, raised his hand to wipe it indiscriminately, and said, "What about him?
There was only one person in the mouth of the cicada, and Yang Jingchang said: "She, she looks fine." Sighing again, "This kid won't be worried." "You can never tell if she's good or bad.
Cicada wiped away tears and nodded.
"I was injured in a fight with the black armor guard in the Drunken Immortal Building, all of them were minor injuries and didn't need to be cared about, she was at the front, in the middle of the front of the lift, and she changed hands a few times after a night or so, and she never let go. ”
"Now they are in front of the palace, and they do not break through the palace gate or make noise, but they stand silently. ”
"Now that it is daybreak, the palace gates are opened, and the adults are out. ”
Hearing Yang Jingchang say this, Cicada Yi was a little nervous: "What do the adults want?"
Yang Jingchang said: "Of course, adults want to live their lives. ”
.....
.....
"People can't be resurrected after death, and Your Majesty is also very sad about Mr. Qingxia's affairs. ”
"This matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated, give Mr. Qingxia an explanation, and give everyone an explanation. ”
"But now, everyone has to do what they have to do well, so as to live up to Mr. Qingxia. ”
"Mr. Qingxia must not want to see you like this. ”
In the early morning teahouse, the people who got the latest news were talking loudly, although many people followed the street fearlessly, but in the end, there were still many people who were timid and self-preservation, and it was irreproachable not to go.
They are concerned about how things are going in a different way.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you been appeased?"
"Pacify? The narrator raised his voice, and at this moment he was in a trance that he was also a reader. "Can the scholar's business be counted like this?"
"And no one retreated. ”
Many scholars expressed their worries about this examination, and a prisoner surnamed Kang fearlessly pointed out that Qin Tangong wanted to interfere in the examination, and Mr. Qingxia was forced to death by him. ”
Scholars are amazing, they have the courage to accuse Qin Tangong like this, and the audience is amazed and admired.
Wang Xiangye said that these are all speculations, and everything must be verified before it is said, but he still asked this prisoner how to believe that there is no problem with the examination?
"What Supervisor Kang said, how to select the exam, the examiner, and the promoter must announce the seating arrangement of the examination room, and I don't understand. ”
In short, in addition to Kang Jiansheng, there were many people who made chaotic suggestions, and Wang Xiangye and Chen Xiangye agreed. ”
"And that Qi Xiu was also arrested, not handed over to the Criminal Department, this time Mr. Qingxia's case was investigated by Dali Temple and Yushitai, and the Criminal Department was also investigated by Dali Temple and Yushitai. ”
After hearing this, the people present breathed a sigh of relief and nodded their heads one after another.
"That's how it should be, it's too much. ”
"People as good as Mr. Qingxia were forced to jump off the building.."
"It has to be checked. ”
"Are the candidates all scattered?"
There is no need to ask this question anymore, there is a chaotic sound of footsteps on the street, accompanied by the sound of "coming, coming", the people in the teahouse are pouring out, and a group of people on the street in the morning light are coming, the black pressed human heads, and the white belt makes the morning light dimmed.
At the foremost was a coffin, carried around by a dozen people, most of them teenagers, their faces were haggard, their eyes were red, the teenagers at this time were not good-looking, but the people on the street did not look away, they looked more seriously and attentively than they had been when they were freshly dressed and angry.
This group of people was silent, did not cry or denounce, only walked in silence, only footsteps on the street, stepping and walking away.
It wasn't until the group walked past that people on both sides of the street dared to breathe.
Silence is sometimes more intimidating than noisy.
"Are you going to bury Mr. Qingxia?"
"Buried here or back to Chang'an?"
"Mr. Qingxia's family is in Chang'an, and the students came to the funeral. ”
"Speaking of students, that is Xue Qing, I really didn't expect it.... ”
Hearing this, the people around looked at the person who spoke, this is the manager of a restaurant, and his expression was a little strange at this time.
"Don't you know?" he whispered to the people around him, "That Xue Qing, yesterday, wrote poetry again. ”
.....
.....
“... A pipa poem... In the Drunken Immortal Building, I haven't seen it yet..."
“... No matter what he does, it is true that he dies as soon as he composes poetry...."
“... I didn't expect it to happen to his husband this time... The boy must have been terrible. ”
“.. Poor..."
“... When Mr. Qingxia had an accident, he was drinking flower wine in Zuixian Building... Young man, romantic..."
“.. I heard that no, it's good to be with that prostitute, and Chunxiao is from Chang'an..."
“... Yes, yes, I heard that I hooked up when I was in Chang'an Mansion... So this Chunxiao was driven out of Chang'an..."
“.. Xue Qing is a son-in-law, how can the Guo family, the father-in-law, let him mess with the Qinglou woman..."
“... No, it depends on which father-in-law, our old lady Liu said, when the time comes, we can let this Chunxiao enter the door as a child..."
“... Belch... This one... How many fathers-in-law does Xue Qing have?"
“.. No, aren't we talking about poetry? Why do we talk about that?"
Poetry is of interest to the literati, and it is more interesting for the people to do things between men and women, so in addition to the death of Mr. Qingxia, the suffering affair between Xue Qing and Chunxiao, a prostitute in the drunken fairy building, also spread, plus the eldest lady of the Guo family, and some people took the initiative to introduce Miss Liu, a man and three women This is a play, and the people are happy.
The daylight was already bright, and Mr. Qingxia's small courtyard was crowded with people, and there was a low voice, but there was no chaos at all, but there was a different kind of quiet.
The coffin was placed in the main hall, and the funeral was handled by people from the imperial court and older students, and Mr. Qingxia's family had already gone to inform them, and the teenagers of Chang'an Mansion were the most idle at this time, sitting in front of the coffin to keep vigil.
The group of teenagers did not speak as usual, but remained silent, occasionally raising their heads and looking a little dazed.
It's not that they haven't seen death before, but it's completely different from the last time they watched Duan Shan's death in Tingyulou.
It's apt, unprepared, and incomprehensible.... It turns out that good people can die, and they can die so easily.
There was a soft sound and the teenagers looked up.
"I'll go out for a while. Xue Qing said.
Zhang Shuangtong raised his head and said: "Don't worry, Miss Chunxiao was not arrested, just because she followed her through the street as a native of Chang'an, no officers and soldiers dare to arrest her now." ”
He said this seriously, but it was also very aggressive.
Liu Chunyang said: "You don't have to say a word." ”
Zhang Shuangtong turned his head to look at him: "It's your business to talk about me." ”
There was no shouting and shouting, but this calm exchange of words was full of fire.
Zhang Liantang said: "Don't quarrel in front of Mr. Looking at Xue Qing again, "Where are you going?"
Xue Qing said: "I'll go to Chen Xiangye's mansion and keep an eye on the case." ”
As the top of the gentleman's test, he came to the capital early, and he has a wider network in the capital than other teenagers, and it is appropriate to do these things, Zhang Liantang nodded.
Over there, Pei Yanzi also stood up and said, "I'll go to my cousin's place and watch." ”
Jiang Xian is Wang Lieyang's person, so that both parties can stare at it more thoughtfully, Zhang Liantang looked at them, his eyes fell on Xue Qing, and he only nodded in the end to say something: "Go." ”
Xue Qing and Pei Yanzi didn't speak again, and walked out one after the other.
The daylight has gradually tilted, there are still officers and soldiers coming and going on the streets, people have gathered to talk about it, restaurants and tea shops are also very lively, and the hawkers have resumed their hawking on the streets, which seems to be no different from the past.
Xue Qing raised his eyes to look at the sunset, a day apart...
"Let's go. Pei Yanzi patted him on the shoulder and said.
Xue Qing retracted his gaze and hummed, the two walked side by side along the street, the six yamen were in one direction, although it was close to evening and stayed up all night, but no one left the yamen here, and it was still busy.
Xue Qing passed by a team of black-armored guards, and walked through the yamen of the criminal department without taking his eyes off it.
......
......
"That Xue Qing was in the Drunken Immortal Building at the time. ”
Qi Xiu said in the cell, his body was no longer an official uniform, but his prison uniform was neat and his face was calm.
Although this is the prison cell of Dali Temple, it cannot isolate Qin Tangong.
"What time was it then? before or after Mr. Qingxia died?" asked Song Yuan.
"The prostitutes of the Drunken Immortal Building, and a few of their fellows said that they came very early. Qi Xiudao, "That prostitute and Xue Qing are old acquaintances, what she said is not credible, those guys are from the Drunken Immortal Building... It's just..."
"The Drunken Immortal Building belongs to Wang Lieyang's old thing, and what the people there say is not credible. Song Yuan waved his hand and said, "Anyway, this Xue Qing is suspicious, and it is credible for us to ask ourselves." ”
But now you can't arrest people, and now Qin Tangong's side is already the target of everyone.
"Wang Lieyang, this old dog is really untrustworthy, let us deal with Chen Sheng, and now he bites us like a mad dog, but the fisherman has benefited. Song Yuan crossed his waist and scolded.
Qi Xiu said: "It's because I'm not doing well, I didn't expect Mr. Qingxia to seek death." ”
Qin Tangong smiled and said, "It's not your fault, Mr. Qingxia himself probably didn't think that he would seek death." ”
What does this mean? Qi Xiu and Song Yuan looked at him puzzled.
Qin Tan said fairly: "From the reaction after this, it seems that those people know that we are eyeing Mr. Qingxia, but Mr. Qingxia doesn't know. ”
.....
.....
Xue Qing walked into Chen Sheng's place, and the officials on Chen Sheng's side were surging, and no one was surprised to question her when they saw her coming, but with a little sympathy.
"Don't worry about Mr. Qingxia. Someone else said to her deliberately, looking reassuring.
Xue Qing thanked him and didn't say a word, he had his own scribe to report, and soon Xue Qing was invited in.
"This young man is the top of the gentleman's test, and I hope this time the matter will not be affected. ”
"How is it possible not to be affected. ”
The officials outside whispered and dispersed.
In Chen Sheng's room, Xue Qing stood in front of the hall, but Chen Sheng did not sit, but also stood to accompany him.
"It's okay, it's okay. Chen Sheng said, "Your Highness is astute. ”
Xue Qing said: "This doesn't make Qin Tangong and them believe that I am not present, their kind of people will only believe it if they catch it themselves, and they won't believe it when they see it." ”
At this time, he can still maintain such sanity, Chen Sheng nodded, and said: "But now they can't arrest Your Highness, and after this time, we won't give them this opportunity, Your Highness rest assured." ”
Xue Qing smiled, glanced at the chair next to him, and walked over to sit down.
Chen Sheng didn't feel that it was inappropriate, he stepped forward and gave her a cup of firewood, and he also sat down on the side, looked at the young man, and said, "I'm tired." ”
The blood on the young man's face had been wiped away, but the scars were still obvious, his face was haggard and gray, and his eyes were red.
Xue Qing took a sip of tea and said, "What the hell is going on?"
Chen Sheng said: "Fang Lan is our mistake, it was Wang Lieyang who found out about me in Huangsha Dao, thinking that I was going to turn over the old case and go against Qin Tan Gong, so he sold his favor to Qin Tan Gong and confused us in the name of Yu Shitai inquiry, but actually handed people over to Song Yuan of the Criminal Department." ”
Xue Qing held the teacup and hummed, "In this way, what happened back then was actually a bright thing. ”
Chen Sheng said slowly: "Such a big thing, everyone knows more or less in their hearts, those words to the outside world are just to appease the people, at that time we didn't know that Concubine Qin's pregnancy was fake, although we suspected the ambition of Qintan's wolf, but in order to stabilize the country, everyone decided to hide it, so as not to jump over the wall and make chaos in the world." ”
Xue Qing nodded, no longer continuing the topic, and said, "So Fang Lan didn't confess to me but to Mr." and shook his head again, "No, he must have confessed my student relationship with Mr." "Otherwise, why did the Black Armor Guard deliberately arrest the students tonight.
Chen Sheng said: "It's not completely confessed, but it points to you, and he died without your name being named, fortunately." ”
In other words, her name was called, but she died before this, it was really a coincidence, Xue Qing held the teacup and sighed.
The room was quiet for a moment, and Chen Sheng sighed lightly.
"It was so unexpected. "But that's to be expected, and we've all been ready for this from the first day we've done it." ”
Xue Qing lowered his head and hummed: "Yes, I know, the revolution is not a dinner party, it is to bleed to the dead, many people have died, Mr. is just what I saw with my own eyes, and there are many, many more that I have not seen." ”
Revolution is not a dinner party? This is an interesting statement, Chen Sheng said: "Your Highness mourns, you are good, Mr. Qingxia Quanxia will also be pleased." ”
Xue Qing said: "I will take the test well to comfort Mr." ”
Of course, it was not necessary to comfort Mr. Qingxia, Chen Sheng was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood that yes, for the world, Xue Qing's good results in the exam are indeed a consolation to his husband.
"Good. He nodded, "I'll arrange it." ”
Xue Qing got up and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”
Chen Sheng also got up and said hello, Xue Qing stopped thinking of what to look at him, and said: "Actually, it's also my fault, I shouldn't have heard Fang Lan's identity before he died, and he came to see Xiangye, he should have stayed at home." ”
Chen Sheng smiled, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, if you stay at home, they will still be suspicious, it's all the same." ”
Xue Qing also smiled and said, "That's right, the identity of the student has been named, so it's all suspicious." Raising his hand, he said, "Xiangye stays, I'll go first." ”
Of course, Chen Sheng would not send him off, he stood in front of the hall and nodded and watched Xue Qing walk out, and then his face sank.
"Call Kang Dai to come. He raised his voice and said to the outside world.
