Chapter 44: The Tormented Wait
If you break the law, you will be punished, and if you have a fault, you will have to make up for it, so after Luo Qi came to thank her, she asked Taizong to give her a chance to atone for her sins. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"And how are you going to atone for your sins?"
"Returning to the emperor, the people are willing to go to the north of Xinjiang to serve the country."
"Tell me."
Taizong looked at Luo Qi sharply, the latter was not avoiding his gaze, and greeted him frankly, "Back to the emperor, the people plan to go to the north to do business with the Hui people, by the way, inquire about a mysterious and strange place in the Hui, the biggest feature here is that there is a huge wealth buried, at this time, if someone sees us again catch the Turkic remnants and torture them to extract confessions, they will definitely have some thoughts." ”
Taizong was slightly surprised in his heart, Luo Qi's method almost coincided with his, the only difference was that the bait was different.
Looking at Luo Qi again, the whole person is generous and not half twisted, and the look in his eyes is by no means the innocent of a twenty-eight-year-old girl, sure enough, that day in Hanzhang Palace, this girl was hiding clumsy, and he did not comment on Luo Qi's plan, "Flat." ”
"Your Majesty."
Luo Qi's legs were numb, and after gritting his teeth and insisting on standing up, Taizong took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "I heard from the auxiliary machine that your father's career has not been smooth since your mother's death, and the family moved to Qingzhou, how do you make a living?" ”
"After returning to the emperor, after my father went to Yidu in Beihai, Qingzhou, he ran a bookstore for a period of time, and later taught in the academy." Luo Qi paused when he said this, "However, the eldest grandson remembered wrongly, the mother of the Minnu family did not die of illness in Luoyang, but after arriving in Qingzhou, when she had a younger brother of the Minnu, she fell ill, and after three years she suffered from cough disease, and died in the spring of the second year. ”
Taizong looked at her, "How old were you then?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the people's daughter was already ten years old at that time."
"Well, your father didn't continue the strings after that?"
"Back to the emperor, no."
"Since I have never had contact with my family, why do you want to come to Chang'an to join the auxiliary machine now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is hard to say, my father died, the people's daughter with her younger brother lived a hard life, the woman disguised herself as a man and the pseudonym Luo Qi was an apprentice in the restaurant, once the drunkard found her daughter's body, when she was molested and persecuted, fortunately met the nobleman to come to the rescue, asked about the benefactor's name and surname, only to know that there is such a coincidence in this world, the nobleman also reverted to the eldest grandson, and after careful inquiry, I learned that Mrs. Shu was actually the cousin of the people's daughter, but when the father was alive before, he never mentioned this matter to the people's daughter."
"So, you're coming to Chang'an?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, life is really not easy, so when Cousin Shu proposed to arrange a few righteous brothers to escort our brothers and sisters to Chang'an, the folk girl was very happy, and on the way, because of the Taishan Tong Disaster, not only with Her Royal Highness the princess, but also with several righteous brothers."
"Speaking of which, the emperor's Ryan, thanks to their brothers and sisters, was able to return to his side safely and soundly." Princess Ankang recalled the incident of Mount Tai, and still has a very strong feeling of gain and loss in her heart, and she squeezed the handkerchief tightly, "Father, the emperor has the courage to intercede with you, and the three ...... in prison"
Taizong raised his hand and stopped Princess Ankang's next words, "I know what you mean, the hour is not early, you can go back first." ”
Outside the Liangyi Palace, Princess Ankang looked at the respectful Wang De with a complicated expression, knowing that she couldn't dig anything out of this person's mouth, and Luo Qi thanked him, and the two walked on the way back, the cold wind was shining, and the garden was bleak, they walked on a secluded path, avoiding those noble ladies who could meet the enthusiasm in the palace, and waiting, which became the most painful thing at the end of this first month.
In Chang'an City outside the palace, the name of Moxuan in the West Market is already known to everyone, the sparse storefront that was smashed has been renovated, the plaque of the imperial gift is hung up, no one dares to make trouble, Shen Fei stayed in the store silently, there was a guy watching the door of the store, and everyone else was scattered by him, and drilled into the restaurant and tea shop, so that a lot of gossip came out of Chang'an City today.
For example, Princess Ankang ushered in a precious decade for the Tang Dynasty for the sake of the people of the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty and the powerful Turkic Khan; There are also memories of being a bounty hunter over the years, and once traced the matter of the Wang Yang thief Jin Ruhai, the most recent is the Taishan Tong Disaster, etc., all of which have been circulated, this story has a nose and eyes, plus the news released by the princess's mansion, the emperor gave the Turkic cub the name Li Yi, and named him the man of Fu'an County, and now the people have another sense of memory.
It's just that I don't know who spread the news about the old master of the Dugu clan, who fought the bloody battle in the northern Xinjiang and killed the little Turkic prince in righteousness, severed the father-son relationship with the Turkic Khan, and covered the escape of his mother, Princess Ankang, who spread the news faster than their news.
Shen Fei was cleaning the cabinets in the store with a feather duster, while thinking about things, the guy at the door looked at the county lord of Guide who had been here three times in five days, and retreated to the door in a daze, and the county lord of Guide smiled at him, and the last bit of soul left at this time didn't know where to go.
The county lord of Guide walked into this small shop a few steps to the end, lotus steps, like an orchid, but it was a pity that the one-armed stinky man with a feather duster and bullet ash turned a blind eye to her beauty, her eyes were like silk, "Shen shopkeeper, belch, didn't your boss say when you will come back?" ”
"The affairs of the owner, how can a slave of the grass people know that the goods in the store are not yet complete, and there may not be what the county lord wants." Shen Fei's attitude is not bad, but it is definitely not good, he deliberately flicked two more times on the shelf a few steps away from Guide, and naturally there was a little floating dust flying in the air, the county lord of Guide frowned slightly, and pursed his bright red lips, "You are so bold." ”
Shen Fei hooked his lips and smiled, and pointed to the sky with a feather duster, the meaning was self-evident, and the silver teeth of the county lord of Guide County bit secretly, and turned to leave.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, Shen Fei beckoned the guy who was looking at the back of the county lord of Guide to come in, "Look at your bear-like appearance, take a cloth, and wipe the floor." ”
And a young man who passed by the main carriage of Guide County, thanked the uncle who showed him the way, looked at the plaque that reflected the golden light under the sun, grinned, and showed a mouthful of big white teeth. ”
"Yes," Shen Fei just sat down, and before he could drink a sip of hot tea, he hurriedly put it down, got up and greeted him warmly, "Guest, what do you need?" ”
When the young man heard this, he waved his hand directly, "Hello, my surname is Qin, and I have a single name, and I came to the door today to visit your host." (To be continued.) )
