Although Nantai County is far away from the prosperous and extravagant Shangjing, it is also another beautiful and prosperous when the new emperor succeeds to the throne and rules the world with benevolence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that the climate here is pleasant, and the people have formed a leisurely and slow life over time, which makes people feel that they have come out of the mediocrity and mediocrity since then, and have arrived in the blessed land of Xianxiang.

The eighth day of the lunar month coincides with the enlightenment day of Shakyamuni Buddha. The crowd on the street was even more crowded, and the car of Li Shuci and his entourage had already entered Xicheng: "Ah Ting, your Zheng family's old mansion is not far away, right?"

Zheng Ting came to Li Shuci every morning and dusk to say goodbye, and the etiquette was very decent: "Exactly." ”

"After many days of traveling, you and I, and those who accompanied us, are deeply tired, so it is better to rest and rest in this city, and it is not too late to set out again. Li Shuci sat upright and looked at Zheng Ting: "You have lived here for many years, have you ever felt missed?" Do you want to go back to the old mansion to have a look? Later, when I arrived in Beijing, I wanted to come back, but it was very difficult. ”

Zheng Ting's face paused slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she replied: "My grandmother and mother have stayed in Huangjun, if I return to the old house, all I can remember is a few deceased relatives. Moreover, the house has been sold to someone else, and at this time there are other people living in it, so it is not good to bother. ”

"Hmm. That is it. Li Shuci nodded gently, lifted the curtain and looked at the bustle of the streets and alleys, and said: "Coincidentally, let's catch up with this Buddhist event, so we will also go to join in the fun, and we don't have to go into the temple, so as not to disturb the people." Then go to listen to the bell nearby, legend, the reason why the Baojian Temple in Xicheng is very famous, is because the bell is famous all over the world, long and beautiful. ”

Zheng Ting has been a little uneasy since she entered the territory of Nantai County, and seeing that Li Shuci no longer mentioned the matter of the Zheng family's old house, she was happy to follow her words and said: "What the princess said is right, the bell of this Baojian Temple is indeed very good. According to Buddhism, there are one hundred and eight troubles in life, and as long as you listen to these one hundred and eight bells, you can get layers of liberation. Especially on Chinese New Year's Eve every year, Baojian Temple is an unprecedented grand occasion, and countless people come to listen to the bells, and even thousands of miles come here for this one hundred and eight bells. ”

"After listening to the bell, the troubles go away with the wind. Li Shuci also longed for this in her heart, but most of the reason was because she and that Zhao Shi had made an appointment here: "Legend has it that the reason why this bell is so magical is because it is the first Buddha bell of today, made of countless copper water, five zhang high and three zhang wide. The inscription "Mahayana Myoho-renge-kyo" is engraved on the face of the clock, with a total of 69,800 characters. Just thinking about it makes people's hearts shake. ”

"Since the princess is so yearning, why don't you go to the temple to have a look? Zheng Ting's original intention was to say that the road was far away and it was inconvenient to come and go, but as soon as the words came out, no matter how they sounded, it seemed that they were not destined to come and see, and their faces turned pale at the moment, and they quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, Ah Ting has lost her words." ”

Li Shuci looked at her with a nervous look, and said indifferently: "It's okay, what you said is right, but I don't think there may be no chance." ”

Zheng Ting didn't dare to say more for a while. While speaking, the carriage had already arrived near Baojian Temple, and Li Shuci still alarmed the local officials because there were many guards around him. She knew that it was inevitable, so she immediately lifted the curtain and said to Li Lian: "Lord Li doesn't have to be polite, I didn't want to disturb the people here, I just wanted to listen to the bell nearby, and you don't have to make too many arrangements." ”

"Yes, the lower official has mobilized people to protect the car of Her Royal Highness the princess, if there is anything, you can just give orders. ”

"Well, Master Li has a heart. Li Shuci was talking, and suddenly saw a man in white covering his head and face in the distance, walking slowly to this side, her eyes were slightly condensed, and she already knew who was coming, and he was followed by a woman who was not tall, also wearing a hat, covering her face.

The man was far away from the guards, and said loudly: "The villain asks to see Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Li Lian came down in a cold sweat when he boarded up, thinking to himself that this is a person who is not long-sighted to cause trouble in his realm: "Who dares to disturb ......?"

"Wait, Master Li don't be nervous, I see that he seems to be in a hurry, and listen to him. Li Shuci noticed that Zheng Ting's pupils on the side contracted violently, and her shoulders instantly stiffened, and she knew that the person who came was right in her heart.

Zheng Ting forcibly stabilized her emotions, so that her body would not tremble and reveal a weak heart, and persuaded: "Your Highness, your status is noble, don't let such strangers get close, what if something goes wrong, how can it be ......?"

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess, this person is of unknown origin, and he has come here rashly, there must be evil intentions, and I ask Your Highness to put your own safety first. If something happens to His Royal Highness, the lower officials will be unable to escape the blame......" Li Lian persuaded in his mouth, and secretly scolded in his heart, when Lao Tzu found out who this person was, he would definitely beat him first.

The man in white seemed to be a little anxious when he saw the heavy obstacles here, and shouted loudly: "Your Royal Highness, in Zhao Shi, is the husband of the Zheng family, and I also had a daughter with her, just because she is ruthless, and she is a killer for the sake of wealth and glory! ”

Originally, Li Shuci's car was near the crowd, and it had already attracted the attention of the people, but there were guards around him, and he rushed into Baojian Temple and did not come to him, at this time, when he heard the words of the man in white, he moved closer here, Li Lian's sweat was more, how did he know that Li Shuci was out of the guard and there were countless secret guards hidden in the dark, and Helian Tao was following nearby, it was like burning his eyebrows, if there were unscrupulous people in the crowd, wouldn't it be planted......?" This must not be done......"

Zheng Ting hurriedly said on the side: "Your Royal Highness, Ah Ting's identity is clear, the princess is clear, he intends to insult Ah Ting, he must want to take the opportunity to get close to the princess, with bad intentions, or ask Lord Li to investigate and punish him according to law." so as not to cause a catastrophe!" Zheng Ting's heart was in turmoil, they were married for a long time, and she could naturally hear his voice. She would never have thought that Zhao Shi was still alive, he was still alive, who was the woman beside him? Could it be the crescent moon of the servant girl who escaped from the Zheng family?

The crescent moon fled before, Zheng Ting secretly searched for a long time but couldn't find it, thinking that the crescent moon was just a pariah, with no way and a handle in her hands, how could she fight for her life to sue herself, and finally escaped, so she didn't hurry up to find a corner to hide. It was because of this that Zheng Ting put down the crescent moon matter.

There are already countless people talking around, surrounded by chaos, the news that the daughter of the Zheng family was ordered by the emperor to choose a husband to marry into Shangjing, and it was spread in Nantai County, not to mention Xicheng, where the Zheng family lived. Li Shuci pretended to hesitate and said: "What you said is right, it's just that what he said has been heard by so many people, and it is a matter of royal face, if you don't figure it out, if something goes wrong in the future, even I can't afford it!"

When Li Lian heard this, he felt even more unlucky, she was right! This person opened his mouth and said that he was Zheng Ting's husband! He also gave birth to a child, this is a cuckold for the son! "This ......"

Li Shuci looked at Zheng Ting: "Don't be afraid, you are not afraid of shadows, if you are innocent, even if others say that it is useless, at this time, if someone wants to be unfavorable to you, it should be solved in time, otherwise it will spread in the future, it will not be good for you, the prince and the palace." ”

Zheng Ting felt that the blood all over her body was coagulated, and she looked at Li Shuci blankly and was speechless.

"If Your Highness does not believe, there is evidence to prove it. The words of the man in white were very timely.

"Evidence?" Li Shuci frowned and looked at Li Lian and said, "Master Li, he said that he has evidence. ”

Li Lian reluctantly turned around and walked towards the man, "Hmph, this official will give you a chance, if you can really show evidence, I will give you a chance to finish speaking." If you have the slightest lie, hum ......"

Zhao Shi knew that Li Lian was not an official who careless about people's lives, but he was just afraid of causing trouble and was a little timid, so he immediately said: "Don't worry, Lord Li, what I said below is true, and I will definitely not affect adults!" Saying that, he whispered to Li Lian: "There are three small moles on the daughter of the Zheng family, which are in the ......."

Li Lian listened with an embarrassed face, this is going to be a lower official, how can a big old man talk to the princess! He hesitated for a moment and returned to the car, pointed to the green pigeon beside Li Shuci and said, "Please also ask the princess to let this girl help the lower official pass a word." ”

Qingge had no choice but to get out of the carriage and pass a few words back and forth in the middle, the more Zheng Ting listened, the more ugly her face became, and when she saw Li Shuci looking at her with suspicious eyes, she even forgot to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy and argue. Just shook his head in horror and repeated a few words: "I'm not, he's a liar." ”

Li Shuci looked at Li Lian and said, "Master Li! The matter is very important, so let's go back to the mansion first and let him explain the matter clearly." ”

As soon as the surrounding people heard that they were going to the yamen, they knew that this mess was not so easy to solve, and those who could not squeeze into the Baojian Temple were immediately elated, and with a fiery gossip heart, they followed the car to the yamen.

Li Lian ordered the bamboo curtain on the court to be lowered, which was specially prepared for some distinguished people who were inconvenient to appear in front of everyone, so as to avoid any inconvenience during testimony and hearings. Zhao Shi and Crescent Moon stood on top of the public hall and lifted their hats, and the people watching the excitement outside the door immediately relished Zhao Shi's handsome face. Although the crescent moon on the side was a little nervous, she still knelt down honestly and waited for Li Lian to ask.

Li Lian glanced at Li Shuci, who was sitting behind the bamboo curtain, and got her signal, his subordinates picked up the startling wood and slapped it, and the surroundings immediately quieted down, and he said to Zhao Shi and the others: "Who is in the hall?"
