Chapter 114: Forget it

"Father, that's how cheap that slut is!"

Hearing that his father was back, the bedridden high-ranking official immediately got up and rushed over and shouted.

"Why didn't you kill her on the spot!"

He was responded with a snapping sound.

Gao Xiaoguan covered his face and stepped back, looking at Gao Lingbo with a frightened and aggrieved expression.

Gao Lingbo stretched out his hand to pull him back, staring at him with red eyes.

"What the hell did you tell King Ping!" He yelled, "What the hell! ”

"Father, I just did what you said, let His Highness confess to His Majesty, confess to His Majesty." The high junior official shouted.

"Then why did he get hacked to death? Then how did he get hacked to death? Gao Lingbo roared, roaring and roaring, and there were cloudy tears flowing out of his eyes.

Why did you die, how did you die...

"Daddy." The high-ranking official shouted, and he also looked like he was about to cry, "His Royal Highness is confessing his guilt, and in order to show his sincerity, he knelt outside the hall..."

Gao Lingbo raised his hand and slapped him again.

"Is this called sincerity?" He shouted angrily, "Everyone avoids this topic and doesn't talk about it, but he goes and shouts in public, he is slapping His Majesty in the face, this is called coercion!" This is called a great rebellion! This is called disloyalty and unfilial piety! ”

Although he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, when he learned about the scene at that time, especially what King Ping said, he had to believe that this was a heavenly punishment.

Doing such a thing and saying that kind of thing is really thundering and thundering!

High-ranking officials shouted grievances.

"Father, I didn't let him go, it's none of my business." He shouted, "Your Highness himself did not listen to the persuasion and had to go." I can't stop it. ”

Oh, yes. You can't stop it.

Folks often say that Hades will let you die three watches. No one left you until the fifth watch.

"Heaven can't count people, and people can't count heaven." Gao Lingbo muttered, pushing away the junior official in a dejected manner, and fell to the ground as if he had been drained of strength.

The surrounding cleaners hurriedly rushed over to help, but compared with the past, the faces of the clearers were a little more anxious.

King Ping is dead...

King Ping is dead...

That's how it can be good.

"How is it good, without King Ping, we still have the Queen Mother."

Gao Lingbo, who had already wiped away his tears on the table, said in a hoarse voice.

Now the emperor is seriously ill. The Queen Mother came to power.

"Our Gao family is still the highest relative!"

The pilgrims looked at each other.

"But my lord, the Queen Mother's reign is not a long-term thing...", a Qingke said.

If the emperor can't wake up, the queen mother will be in power for ten days and half a month, and it will be no problem for half a year to be in power, but it is impossible for the courtiers to let the queen mother stay in power forever, and besides, the queen mother's age cannot be in power for a long time.

If you really want to say that it is suitable for the administration, it is also the queen.

Empress!

"My lord, the people of the Song family have already entered Beijing overnight." A clearer whispered.

The queen's father's family, Laiyang Song, has always been like a queen who does not exist in the deep palace. The world can't remember that there is a Laiyang Song family who has a queen.

Good, good. Good.

Gao Lingbo gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, the high-ranking officials sitting on the side couldn't help but interject.

"Father, the Song family can't compare with us, and now that the Queen Mother is in power, it doesn't mean that the queen can be changed." He said, with a little eagerness, "Father, what matters now is the matter of Cheng Slut, the day after tomorrow, that Cheng Slut will lead the thunder, if she succeeds, this matter will be settled?" ”

Gao Lingbo turned his head to look at him, his eyes were ruthless, and he only shrank his head when he looked at the high and junior officials.

"Do you think this matter is over?" He gritted his teeth and said, "From the time the Queen Mother asked the sentence that you can, this matter has already been settled!" ”

How can you forget it?

The senior officials were a little stunned.

"What if she can't get it?" He blurted out a question, and as soon as the words came out, he was clever, and subconsciously hugged his head.

A tea bowl was smashed by Gao Lingbo.

"If you can't attract it, it doesn't have anything to do with her!"

………………………………………………………

"Does it have anything to do with her?"

In the Golden Water Garden, under a shed that occupies the best position, two officials said, looking at the people busy on the wide riding range.

And around the site, there are full pergolas, three layers of the outer three floors, and they are crowded with people at this time, and many people from the government are maintaining order.

"Look at the busy crowd, look at the strange things," the official continued, looking into the field as he said, "Paper kites....iron rods......

He said here and withdrew his gaze.

"Putting out so many things to attract thunder, how can it be considered a matter of secretly harming people behind the scenes, King Ping, but in the palace, can anyone fiddle with these with great fanfare?"

Another official nodded, looking at the room with interest.

"Did you place a bet?" He asked with a smile.

"Whoever bets, it's one-sided, and it can't be opened." The official laughed.

At this point, the two of them looked around again, looking at the lively crowd.

"What's this called, it's more lively than the New Year." He shook his head and said.

"That's better than talking all over the city about King Ping's heinous death by thunder." Another said.

"The Queen Mother is in a hurry to go to the doctor." The first one sighed.

The official smiled.

"That's also a doctor." He said.

There was a lively conversation in the room, and the two of them hurriedly looked over and saw that it was Cheng Jianniang who came.

"Don't say anything else, it's enough to watch a wind and rain and thunder." They laughed and looked up at the sky.

The scorching sun of the morning was gone, but the sky was overcast, there was not a hint of wind, it was hot and dreary, and the crowd was getting more and more dreary at this time.

Banqin waved the fan in her hand at Cheng Jianniang quickly, looking at the sky.

"Lady, lady, let me come." The girl said hurriedly on the side.

Since yesterday, this girl has run over from Zhang's house, and this sentence has not stopped from morning to night.

"Lady, I, I've done it before after all." She couldn't help but whisper.

These words made Zhou Zhen on the side can't help but look sideways.

Is this girl....

That's the girl at the time.

"You've done a mine guide before. I didn't. So this time it's changed. I'll lead the thunder, you come and wait, dare? Cheng Jianniang asked.

The girl nodded again and again.

"I dare, I dare." She said.

"Lady, I dare too." The maidservant and Banqin said hurriedly.

Cheng Jianniang looked at them and smiled slightly.

"Okay, then you go and stand around the straw man, and listen to me when the time comes." She said, pausing at this point. "You must be obedient, you must not make a mistake, and you must not slow down a step, otherwise, you will really die."

The three girls nodded, and without the slightest hesitation, ran towards the center of the bright riding range.

A straw man has already been erected there.

Looking at the three girls who ran over, the people around them became even more lively.

"Going to start?"

"Are you going to start?"

"What to start with, don't talk about thunder, not even wind."

Cheng Jiaoniang, who was surrounded by noise, picked up one from the paper kite on the side.

This is a butterfly paper kite. The painting is exquisite.

"I haven't let go of a paper kite in a long time." She seemed to be talking to herself, pausing before looking up. Looking at the person in front of him, "You guys, who wants to play together?" ”

The rest of the people were the maidservants of the family, and they all rushed to stretch out their hands when they heard the words.

"Me."

Three or four handmaidens shouted in a disorderly manner, but a hand passed over them and took the paper kite.

Seeing that it was Zhou Zhen, the maids were too busy to speak anymore and retreated.

Cheng Jianniang didn't speak, but took the wire and copper bell on the side and began to tie it up, after doing all this, she slowly picked up the spool and looked up at the sky. [Note 1]

When she looked at the sky, the gaze that was condensed around her also followed.

"Alright." Cheng Jianniang retracted her gaze, looked at Zhou Zhen and said with a slight smile, turned around and ran after speaking.

As she ran, the wind suddenly rose and blew all over the field.

"One glance will bring wind!"

One of the two officials standing under the pergola at the far edge couldn't help but shout after the people around him, squinting his eyes and reaching out to press down on his wind-blown robe.

"How unjust the wind is." Another official laughed.

I think the lady just wants to see if the wind is coming, he can always look at it carefully, the leaves have begun to shake before the lady runs, but everyone's attention is on the lady.

The thread in her hand slid away quickly, and Cheng Jianniang looked back and saw that the figure was holding a paper kite high.

"....I said the wind is coming...."

"Ahfang, you're teasing me again..."

Giggles dispersed in the wind.

"Ah, you can let go..."

The thunder was blowing, the wind was blowing so much that people couldn't open their eyes, and the pergola was almost lifted.

The paper kite was already flying higher and higher, and Zhou Zhen couldn't help but look over, the woman was still trotting, looking up at the sky and looking at herself on the other side, with a smile on her face.

Grin...

I've never seen a smile like this.

No, I've seen it, every year on the spring day, the sisters in the family are also smiling like this when they release paper kites.

I've never seen her smile like this.

Zhou Ji couldn't help but raise his feet and stepped forward, thunder exploded in the air, and soybean-like raindrops fell down.

The sound of wind and rain and the noisy and boiling voices of people in the audience were all over the place.

"Sure enough, it rained! Sure enough, it rained! ”

The little guy under the pergola shouted frantically, stretched out his hand and pointed outside, the rain hit the pergola like fried beans, and the noise around him, the little guy had to shout loudly.

"Childe, look, look."

Qin Arc's gaze kept looking outside, where to greet him.

"Of course it's going to rain." "She never tells lies," he said. ”

The little guy turned his head to look at him.

"Ah, Childe, you know everything, so why do you have to come and see it." He asked.

Because I want to see, I want to see how difficult it is for her.

Qin Arc looked outside, the woman was the only one running in the wide field, dragging the thread in her hand, her body was already wet, and she was like a weak willow in the storm, which could be blown off at any time.

She ran, walked, dragged, looked up at the sky, and the rain blurred Qin Arc's vision.

Was that how she was in the first place?

In the lonely Taoist temple, the thieves who laugh hideously in the dark, and the night when the wind blows.

She borrowed her life from heaven alone.

And the world can't see this. All I saw was her terrible. And I don't want this terrible thing to do, but she wants to resist a more terrible situation.

Not so myself. How terrible it is for the world to say such things at that time, and how terrible it is for oneself.

Qin Arc raised his head, and with a click, a thunderbolt tore through the pitch-black sky, and screams rang out around him.

His heart almost stopped beating.

No, no, it's too dangerous. It's too dangerous.

The woman was still running, and the paper kite in the sky was no longer visible, but she was still running.

Qin Arc pushed away the officers and soldiers who were already stupid in front of the crowd and rushed out.

"Stop, stop, don't run anymore." He shouted loudly.

Cheng Jianniang seemed to hear it and looked back, but the person ran away faster, ran towards the straw man in the center, and smashed the iron spool in his hand hard.

The three girls around the straw man were already drenched, shaking and shivering in the wind and rain.

"Get down!"

Accompanied by the shouting of a female voice.

The three and a half celery fell to the ground with a pop.

A white light exploded in the field. The loud bang was deafening, and the people under the pergola screamed and fell down.

A fire rose in the middle of the field.

The original straw man ignited a fire in the rain.

The commotion died down. Except for the sound of rain and the rolling thunder in the distance, the scene was silent, and all eyes were focused on the burning straw man in the field.

Mother...

The two officials got up from the ground in embarrassment, looked at the field and muttered.

Although I had already guessed it, I really saw this scene with my own eyes, and the shock it brought was really indescribable.

………………………………………………….

“… At that time, there were four people in the field, and they just split the straw man... It's like in front of the temple that day... I only hit His Highness, and the attendants next to me are fine...."

The little guy under the porch pointed his fingers and told the foaming at the mouth.

Chen Shao's gaze withdrew from the air, looking at the banana leaves washed by the drizzle.

"....Mr. Storyteller said... The storyteller was invited by Cheng Niangzi to explain to everyone, he said, although they were all in the field, but because when the thunder and lightning came down, the three girls and Cheng Niangzi all lay down, the straw man was the highest, and the lightning struck high, so only the straw man was struck by lightning...."

"Mr. Storyteller told everyone that when you encounter a thunderstorm, don't stay in an open place, and if you encounter thunder, you should lie down or squat with your head in your hands, and don't raise your hands or hide under a tall tree...."

The more the little guy talked, the more lively it became, but Chen Shao interrupted him.

“… Alright, you go down. He said.

The little guy was interrupted and was puzzled.

"Later, everyone listened to it, and they all said that Lei could really be attracted, and His Royal Highness King Ping was really surprised." He hurriedly said.

Naturally, the old men will care about this news.

Chen Shao just shook his head.

"Let's go down." He said.

The little guy was a little puzzled and had to quit.

Isn't it just for King Ping? In order to let everyone understand that King Ping was not struck by lightning because of his heinousness?

Why does it seem that the old man doesn't care at all?

………………………………………….

"Concern? Except for the palace...."

In the Golden Water Garden, the burning straw man has been extinguished by the rain, leaving a charred black section in the field, but the people around have not dispersed and are still talking.

The two officials spoke as they squeezed out of the crowd, and the one who spoke reached out and pointed in the direction of the palace.

“…… They in the palace care, and others care. ”

He continued, looking back at the bustling field.

"Look at the officials who come here are inconspicuous and inconsequential people like you and me, and those officials and important ministers have no one to come at all."

"How King Ping died, there is no longer any meaning, what they need to know is that His Royal Highness King Ping is dead."

"What's more, this incident can't prove anything, except for proving that it is not easy to lead mines, that Cheng Niangzi can't kill people in the air."

The other official disagreed, and he stopped.

"Doesn't this prove that King Ping is not a heinous but an accident?" He asked.

The first official smiled, with a bit of meaning.

"Then can you prove why this unexpected disaster is caused by King Ping and not others?"

The official was stunned and frowned.

"Because King Ping was the highest at that time." He said.

"Then can you prove why the highest is King Ping?" An official then asked.

"Because... Because he's confessing his sins. The official said.

"Because it's him, that's what he is." The first official smiled, "There was an accident, but the person who was unexpected was a specific person, not him, so it was still him." ”

Is it him or is it him?

What kind of password is this? What kind of Zen Tao is fighting?

The official frowned.

"....So Ray can really be lured...."

“… His Royal Highness King Ping is really unlucky, but he encountered this accident..."

“… Hey, this unexpected thing can't be encountered by others, but he has encountered it, so it can be seen that it is time to happen...."

“… That's it, I was in the open field that day, why didn't you chop me when I was still standing and running? Or should he be chopping...."

Listening to the people talking around him, Gao Xiaoguan turned around and stretched out his hand.

"Hit me," he shouted.

The little guys around him hurriedly hugged his arm and stopped his waist.

"Petty officials can't be."

"The little official, the master, doesn't allow you to come out and make trouble."

"Petty officials can't make trouble now."

Everyone was talking and persuading.

Although the high-ranking officials have always been tyrannical, this time no one is afraid.

The last time it caused Deshenglou to compete for the Oiran, after Lord Gao came back, he had already disposed of all those who followed the petty officials.

Chickens have already been killed, and they monkeys have to learn a lesson.

"Fuck it!" Gao Xiaoguan gritted his teeth and glared angrily, "This time it's just the fucking thing except that the woman has cleared her suspicion and gained a new reputation, and King Ping has nothing good!" What's the use of the fuck letting her lead the thunder! ”

One angrily kicked down a few cases in the pergola.

A little guy suddenly realized.

"Little official," he said hurriedly, "This leads to thunder to prove that His Royal Highness King Ping is an accident, not just catering to Taibai Xian, and the lunar eclipse meeting, the prince is in danger, His Royal Highness is really in danger, it can be seen that His Royal Highness King Ping is really the prince." ”

The senior official looked at this little guy for a moment, and slapped his arm with a round arm.

"Who the fuck wants to prove this!"

"Even if he is not the crown prince, as long as he lives, we can make him the crown prince and let him ascend the throne as the emperor!"
