[Chapter 49 - Haunting] One thing after another

It is difficult to move my arms, so naturally I can't eat breakfast together. After Chu Yuan finished eating the two zongzi candies, he asked, "Did Senior Nan and Yao'er get up?" ”

"I've been out for a long time." Duan Baiyue said, "Neither of them has been here before, if they are interested, it is not certain whether they can come back at night." ”

Chu Yuan said with a smile: "The place used to practice the palace is naturally not far behind. Although Yundecheng is not as rich and prosperous as Wangcheng, there are also good mountains and rivers to considerable, and the rain and flowers bloom in July and August, which is the most beautiful time in the mountains. ”

"Then get better soon." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "Then let's go listen to the rain and enjoy the flowers." ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "Okay." ”

Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand to straighten his clothes for him, but outside he was greeted by his father-in-law, saying that Master Tao asked to see him.

"Yes." Duan Baiyue said, "I really said it, come early in the morning." ”

"Stay out of the way." Chu Yuan said, "Master Taifu is a lot older, don't be scared out of illness by you." ”

Duan Baiyue jumped onto the beam.

After Tao Rende entered the house, he saw Chu Yuan lying on the bed with a sick face, so he said worriedly: "Weichen just met Imperial Doctor Zhang on the way here, saying that the emperor was sick because of overwork, and he didn't sleep until dawn last night, so don't do it in the future." ”

Duan Baiyue touched her chin, these words sounded more pleasant to the ear.

Chu Yuan nodded: "Thank you, Master Taifu." ”

"There is a blind man in this Yunde City, although he is blind, he is extremely good at acupuncture and massage. If the emperor is still paralyzed, can he ask Weichen to invite him for diagnosis and treatment? Tao Rende asked again.

"No need." Chu Yuan shook his head, "Imperial Doctor Zhang also said that it is okay, it will be fine if you have a good rest for a while, it is rare for me to be quiet for a few days, if outsiders can not see it, it is better to disappear." ”

"Yes." Tao Rende bowed his head and took the order.

"Master Taifu is looking for me, but is there anything else?" Chu Yuan asked.

Tao Rende said: "Although the emperor is recuperating in peace, some insignificant things in this place can only be handed over to the courtiers." If there is a big event, it is not too late for Weichen to come and invite the emperor again. ”

Chu Yuan nodded: "Then there is Master Lao." ”

Tao Rende quit the palace, and on the way happened to meet Liu Dajiong, who had just returned from the morning market, carrying a few baskets of steamed buns in his hand, saying that it was a special product, and sent it to the emperor to taste.

"The emperor just finished taking the medicine and just rested." Tao Rende took the paper bag from his hand, "You don't have to bother." ”

"The emperor is sick again?" Liu Dajiong wondered. When I first ascended the throne, I was worried about labor every day, and it was okay to stay in the imperial study until dawn, why the world has been stable recently, but I was bedridden at three or five o'clock.

"I guess I was too tired before, and I fell ill." Tao Rende said, "Didn't the imperial doctor also say last time, the emperor relied on the Nine Princes to dispense medicine at night, so he could barely fall asleep." It's like this at a young age, but it's not that the first few years ago. ”

"Then this bun will be given to the emperor." Liu Dajiong snatched the paper bag back, "And you, our emperor finally came to this palace to rest for a few days, so he can enjoy the tranquility." Take care of your gang of people, don't go to see you every now and then with a stack of folds. "Although the Liu family has fallen, the factions in the court are still divided into three or five, Tao Rende is upright, and his subordinates are also a bunch of stubborn tempers, debating on the Golden Palace, don't say it's Chu Yuan, even Liu Dajiong feels that he wants to drag this group of people out and throw them away.

The face is red and the neck is thick, and it is noisy and annoying.

In the dormitory, Duan Baiyue was massaging Chu Yuan. No matter how good the blind men of this city may be, they will not be better than the king of the southwest. I know how important it is, and from time to time I will say a few words to make me happy, and he looks quite handsome and tall, in short...... Can't fault anything.

Chu Yuan asked, "Do you want to go to Yulang Mountain?" ”

"Where?" Duan Baiyue asked.

"Not far from the palace, it is a lonely peak." Chu Yuan said, "When I was a child, I sneaked up there once, and I accidentally got lost, so I stayed there all night. Although I can't remember the scenery on the mountain now, I can't forget the state of mind when I lean against the tree in the middle of the night and listen to the wind and rain. ”

"When I was a child, how old was I." Duan Baiyue tied his clothes for him, "Ordinary children get lost in the mountains in the middle of the night, I'm afraid they don't even have the courage to cry, how can anyone worry about listening to the wind and rain." ”

"To go or not?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Naturally, Yulang Mountain, it sounds like a good name." Duan Baiyue said, "When the poison in your body subsides, I will accompany you up the mountain." ”

In the next few days, those courtiers in the court really did not come to play the book again, Chu Yuan was rarely relaxed, and he never even went out of the palace door. It's just that I've been lying in bed for a long time, but I'm more sleepy, I can sleep every now and then, and my head is dizzy all day long. This night, Duan Baiyue took him in his arms and checked it, and sighed: "Why don't you have the capital to be a faint monarch at all, you have only slept for a few days, and you have lost your energy." ”

Chu Yuan didn't want to say a word, yawned.

"I'll take you to Yulang Mountain tomorrow morning, and I'll see the scenery when I walk around." Duan Baiyue said, "Otherwise, if you sleep like this again, you should really be sick." ”

Chu Yuan pulled the quilt, covered his head, and continued to sleep.

Duan Baiyue couldn't cry or laugh, lying beside him and patting him.

In the next room, Duan Yao wondered brightly, if the red eggs could be boiled, after all, my brother had been staying in the emperor's bedroom for the past few days. The red satin prepared by Aunt Kim will come in handy right away, and it is very exciting.

Chu Yuan's eyes didn't open, and he said, "Chop your hands!" ”

Duan Baiyue calmly withdrew her arm, how could she not be fat.

Chu Yuan yawned and continued to fall asleep, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he was dizzy until dawn - if he hadn't been forcibly pulled up by Duan Baiyue the next day, he really still didn't want to move.

"Let's go to Yulang Mountain to listen to the wind and rain." Duan Baiyue dressed him.

Chu Yuan said, "Hmm." ”

"Come, open your eyes and show me." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't be stupid. ”

"Nonsense." Chu Yuan slashed over with a palm, stepped on his soft shoes, and staggered to wash.

Sixi was frightened, and said in his heart that the king of the southwest had done something, and it was okay to make the emperor listless, but he couldn't even walk steadily.

Duan Baiyue looked at his back, and was distressed in his heart if he had to stay up late to approve the folds in the future, whether he would agree or not. Although I want him to rest early, it seems that it is not good to sleep too much this time.

Easy to stay.

After washing up, he ate breakfast again, and Chu Yuan's spirit finally came back. The Huoyun Lion was too attention-grabbing, and Duan Baiyue didn't bring it out on this trip, but the horses rented in the city were also good on their feet, and although they couldn't travel thousands of miles a day, it was still more than enough to climb the mountain road. The breeze in the mountains was gentle, and Chu Yuan stretched hard, feeling ...... Completely sober.

Duan Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this: "Fortunately. "I didn't sleep stupid.

Chu Yuan looked around and said, "I haven't been here for ten years. ”

"It's nothing more than a mountain." Duan Baiyue hugged him from behind and let the horse pacing slowly on the road, "You like to see, there are many in the southwest." ”

"Let's go down and take a walk." Chu Yuan said, "It's not interesting to ride a horse all the time." ”

Duan Baiyue took him to turn over and dismount.

Even though it was midday, the mountains were still cool and pleasant, and there was no heat or dryness at all. The two walked hand in hand for a while, Duan Baiyue picked a few wild fruits from the tree, wiped them clean and handed them to him: "Eat it or not, it's sour." ”

Chu Yuan took a bite and frowned: "You're really welcome." "If you say acid, it's really acid, and your teeth will fall out.

Duan Baiyue shook his hand, lowered his head and tasted the place where the tooth marks were placed, and smiled: "It's not ripe yet, otherwise it should be sweet and sour." ”

Chu Yuan raised his head and looked at the book, wanting to find a redder one, but a flock of birds flew in the distance, as if frightened.

"There are wild beasts in this mountain?" Chu Yuan took a few steps forward, stood on a stone and looked down.

Duan Baiyue said: "The beasts are not sure, there must be wild things." To eat or not to eat? I'll go and fetch you two hares. ”

Chu Yuan shook his head: "Those dim sum scones I brought, as soon as they are hot, they will pad my stomach." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "It's really a silver saver to raise you." ”

Chu Yuan laughed: "Raise me? ”

Duan Baiyue said fluently: "You raise the Southwest Mansion, and the King of the Southwest raises you." ”

Chu Yuan was too lazy to talk to him, sat on the stone to rest, and picked sweet wild fruits from his hands to eat by the way. With lovers together, time will always pass by extraordinarily fast. The sky darkened unconsciously, and it really rained for a while. Duan Baiyue found a hidden cave to light a fire, and spread clean dead grass at the entrance of the cave, and sat with him to listen to the wind and enjoy the rain. Neither of them spoke first, and occasionally they looked at each other, and a smile spread from the bottom of their eyes to their hearts.

In the second half of the night, Chu Yuan leaned on Duan Baiyue's shoulder and fell asleep, his hand gently holding with him.

It also rained in Yunde City, and even the husband did not go out. Only a few drunken men staggered and bragged on the street, and only went back when they arrived at the door. One of them is named Zhou Da, who is lazy and lazy, and his hands and feet are not clean, and he was sent to the government by someone after being twisted, and he was locked up for half a year.

Seeing that the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, Zhou Da cursed a dirty word, threw the empty wine jug in his hand on the ground, and walked a few steps to run home, but a figure vaguely appeared in front of him, and it was still a woman if he looked closely.

Wine is strong and gallant, not to mention that he was not a good person in the first place. Zhou Da was overjoyed, stepped forward and burped: "This little lady, where are you going late at night?" ”

The woman bowed her head, did not look at him, and did not speak.

"Little lady, don't be shy." Zhou Da had a hippie smile, grabbed her hand and wanted to take advantage of it, but felt that something seemed wrong...... It doesn't look like a living person's hand, it's stiff and stiff, and there's not a trace of heat.

The woman looked up slowly, and under the soaked black hair, there was a miserable white face and blood-red eyes.

Zhou Da's heart was shocked, and before he could scream, there was a dull pain at the top of his head, and then he fell into boundless darkness.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tao Li, the county commander of Yundecheng, was still sleeping, and the master hurriedly came to the door, saying that something had happened again.

"What?" Tao Li was so shocked that he didn't even have time to put on his outer robe, and stepped forward to open the door with only his underwear.

"My lord, it's not good." The master hurriedly said, "There is another corpse in the alley in the city, it is Splashy Zhouda." It's also the same as the husband a few days ago, naked*, his eyes are violent, and he is dead. ”

"This, how is this good." Zhou Da was in a hurry. Yunde City is not far from Wangcheng, so naturally it is not very poor. Although the folk customs are not on the road, they are also courteous and law-abiding, and the biggest case on weekdays is nothing more than stealing chickens and touching dogs and girls to elope, who would have thought that a few days ago the emperor just came, and the husband in the city died tragically on the street. Fortunately, the street patrol officials found it early and were not noticed by the people. Afraid of being blamed and condemned, Tao Li originally planned to suppress the matter first, and then try it after the emperor drove back to the palace, but he never expected that only a few days later, there would be another murder, and it was the same as before.

"My lord, I can't delay it." The master was cautiously comforting on the side.

Tao Li thought about it for a long time, and finally stomped his feet and said, "Hurry up and go to the palace with me to meet Master Tao." ”

The mist in the mountains was faint, Chu Yuan took a deep breath, and said, "I kept watch all night, and it was worth it for this moment." ”

"After watching the sunrise, I will go down the mountain and take you to eat the fried noodles of Fude Building." Duan Baiyue said, "Otherwise, you should be hungry." ”

"That's why you are rude." Chu Yuan poked his chest with a finger, "If you are a literati, you should be drunk and drunk, what kind of fried noodles." ”

"Vulgar is vulgar, I can't bear to let you take a sip of wind in the morning." Duan Baiyue put her arm around his shoulder, "At most, it's time to look at another cup of tea." ”

Chu Yuan said: "By the way, I received a letter from Jin Tai yesterday, and the Goryeo Kingdom has already received a dowry and sent Jin Shu to Nanyang." ”

"Is this considered marriage?" Duan Baiyue said, "If the man is really an honest businessman, it is also a beautiful thing." ”

"Jin Tai is a coarse and meticulous person, since he is willing to promise, he must have already checked it out." Chu Yuan said, "Actually, this is not bad, Goryeo and Da Chu have always been good friends, if the border is really unstable in the future, it will be good for us to have this relationship." ”

"The border of the South China Sea is unstable, and the southwest is guarding for you." Duan Baiyue said, "Just leave it to me." ”

"I want to hand it over to you, but the courtiers won't let me." Chu Yuan said, "I can think of what Master Taifu will say." ”

"Your Majesty, this move must not be done." Duan Baiyue held his cheeks with both hands, her face was sad, "The ambition of the wolf son of the king of the southwest is known to the world, and it is a helpless move to cede Yunnan for sixteen weeks. ”

Chu Yuan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "I haven't seen you deal with Master Taifu on weekdays, how can you learn so similarly." ”

"Those pedantic old men, back and forth are the same tune, you can learn it without thinking about it." Duan Baiyue kissed him on the tip of his nose, "Leave him alone, let's talk about it when the time comes, go down the mountain to eat noodles first." ”

The name of Fude Building is quite large, but it is actually a small noodle restaurant. Duan Baiyue squeezed into the crowd and bought two bowls of noodles, and brought them to the private room of the teahouse opposite: "Eat quietly here." ”

"Business is really good." Chu Yuan said, "It took so long to come back." ”

"Not really, the boss is chatting, and his hands and feet are slow." Duan Baiyue mixed it up for him and said, "It is said that the city is haunted." ”

Chu Yuan said: "Haunted? ”

"There has never been a female ghost in any city, and such small stories on the streets and alleys will come out every once in a while." Duan Baiyue said, "All of them are like immortals, and when they hear it, they are made up by literati, and they can't marry a daughter-in-law, so they think that there can be a beautiful woman who can add fragrance to their red sleeves, even if they are ghosts." ”

"How can you have such a big prejudice against literati?" Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and the courtiers in his court were almost recited by him, and he had to say when he came out to eat a bowl of noodles.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it next time." Duan Baiyue said, "Next time, I won't be able to praise it?" ”

Chu Yuan stepped on him under the table, lowered his head and ate the noodles, salty and sweet, with a pot of sour plum tea, which was quite appetizing.

"Teacher, teacher has to help students." In the palace, Tao Li knelt on the ground, his face was anxious, "This ...... The students don't know what happened, they are really wronged. ”

"Let's get up first." Tao Rende said, "If something happens, it should have been solved earlier, how can you hide it like you?" ”

"Yes, yes, the student was confused for a while." Tao Li said, "But in this situation, what should I do, and ask the teacher to show me a clear path." ”

"Minglu? Minglu naturally wants to solve the case quickly, no matter whether the murderer is a human or a ghost, he must be brought to justice. Tao Rende said, "This is how to live up to your black gauze hat." ”

"Yes." Tao Rende nodded repeatedly.

"You go back to the house first, you can investigate the case as you want, the emperor, the official will explain it." Tao Rende said, "It's just that before the emperor drives back to the palace, it is best for you to solve this case, and it will not affect your career in the future." ”

"The students know that they will definitely send more people to solve this case." Tao Rende said, "Thank you. ”

"Solving a case is not a trick, if you casually find a person and say that it is a criminal, it will not work." Tao Rende said, "Do you understand this truth? ”

Tao Rende continued to say yes.

Tao Rende asked him to step back first, put on his official uniform, and went to the dormitory to find Chu Yuan, but was told that the emperor had gone to the imperial study early in the morning.

"I'll sharpen the ink for you?" Duan Baiyue asked.

Chu Yuan said: "Will it?" ”

Duan Baiyue couldn't cry or laugh: "Do you think I'm illiterate?" "It's just a few more words of literati, how can you still not even grind ink.

Chu Yuan said: "Others call Red Sleeves Tim Fragrance, but you call it Tim Chaos, step down." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Where to retreat?" ”

Chu Yuan pointed behind the screen: "Go to sleep." ”

Duan Baiyue held her cheeks with both hands, doing nothing in front of the dragon case, dangling around.

Chu Yuan stopped his pen and said suspiciously: "I didn't find it before, why is your head so big?" ”

The king of the southwest had a tightness in his chest, so he had to retreat.

Chu Yuan shook his head, and just wanted to ask him to look at the excerpts together, but Sixi said that Master Tao asked to see him.

Duan Baiyue said: "This Master Taifu, you can't accept it. ”

Chu Yuan drove him behind the screen and asked Sixi to announce the people in.

"Your Majesty." Tao Rende knelt down when he entered the door.

"Master Taifu, please get up." Seeing this, Chu Yuan hurriedly went down to help him up, "I can't say anything about it, why do you want to make this big gift." ”

Duan Baiyue rubbed her eyebrows, looking at this posture, if she wants to go to the mountains again in the future, she is afraid that it will be useless.
