Chapter 127
Before dawn, a horse-drawn carriage was speeding through the streets of Kyoto, the carriage looked inconspicuous, there was no sign on the whole carriage, and the coachman shouted loudly with a hat and went straight to the south gate of the city.
The guard at the south gate yawned and walked out slowly, and by this time some Kyoto businessmen and ordinary people who were going to travel far had begun to wait in line for the gate to open.
The guards guarding the gate looked at these plainly dressed people like garbage, he looked at the sky, pulled a few more people, listened to the boss's password, and slowly pushed the city gate aside.
With the dull sound of the city gate, the crowd began to commotion, and many people wanted to be the first to go outside the city gate, many of them looked anxious, and I am afraid that there is a long way to go out of the city today.
"You! Are you a Hu person? This beard grows so long that it's going to bury it in its chest! ”
"Official, official, I'm a local, I just have a longer beard, I'm not a Hu person!"
The guard guarding the door pouted and looked at the man back and forth, and then waved his hand and said, "You kid knows that there is a big case in Kyoto, but you are arresting these nonsense people, as long as there is a suspicious one today, no one is allowed to leave the city!" ”
The bearded man was so frightened that he quickly took out a few copper plates from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the guards guarding the door, and said reluctantly with a smile: "Official, I really have something important, if I can't go out to pull goods today, the craftsmanship at home will be broken, you see......"
"Okay! I want to go out, right? The guard smiled maliciously and said, "Go to the side, find a razor, and shave all my beard, I see that you are not a Hu person to walk here!" ”
"However, the fortune teller said that I can't shave this year, otherwise there will be a disaster of blood!" The bearded man touched his beard and said in fear.
"Then don't go out, if you don't go out, there will be no bloody disaster!" After the guard finished speaking, he pushed the beard to the side, and several copper plates swayed in his pockets, and shouted proudly: "Whoever is next, don't squeeze it, otherwise they will all be arrested!" ”
The team in front of them was slowly moving forward in this way, and most of the people who had no oil and water and those who were not good-looking were thrown aside, and the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law were let go after being teased a few words, until the speeding carriage came near.
As soon as the guards guarding the gate saw the carriage, they felt that they were looking at the fat sheep, and then carefully saw that the carriage had no signs, and it did not look like a reserve car of any family, so they had the courage to stop the carriage.
"Who? The people in the car come down and take a look! The guard shouted ill-intentioned with a big belly.
Seeing this, the coachman quickly took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it in the guard's hand and said, "Official, there are female dependents in the car, and it is not easy to go out, so please make it convenient." ”
"Ladies and daughters?" The guard walked to the door of the car and knocked on it with his hand: "Who knows if it is a female dependent, a Hu person and a party member?" ”
"Official, this is Fukuido's carriage." The coachman took out a small sign from his arms and said with a smile.
The guard looked at the card, weighed the silver ingot, and hesitantly turned to look at the leader on the steps.
Who knew that the leader didn't pay attention to it at all, and when he came over, he said to the coachman: "There is an order from above, all carriages must be checked to prevent any Hu people from slipping out of the city gate." ”
"But ......"
"No, if you don't want to come out, don't go out of the city!"
When the two sides were at a stalemate, the car door opened, and a head stretched out and hooked his finger at the leader, who walked over and looked up, and was taken aback and said, "Shiziye?" ”
Zhuang Jinyuan hurriedly took out a silver ingot bigger than before from his arms and put it into the leader's hand, and whispered: "Hurry up and let the master go, if the master is caught back by my father, you will wait for the errand to be yellow!" ”
"But the prince, this time I ...... up"
"Could it be that I can still contain the Hu people?"
But the leader was still embarrassed and wanted to look into the car.
Zhuang Jinyuan lowered his face and asked, "Could it be that you are not just catching Hu people?" ”
"How so? We were ordered to arrest the Hu people here, and since the prince was in a hurry to get out of the city, the little one would not be stopped. After speaking, the leader and the guard shouted out of the way, and Zhuang Jinyuan's carriage was able to get out of the city gate smoothly.
After waiting for the carriage to leave the city for a long time, Zhuang Jinyuan closed the curtains and breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said with a face: "Cousin, how is it?" I still have to use it at the critical moment! ”
Acacia nested behind the curtain, and sat in front of the fence, just to prevent someone from searching the car.
"Thank you, cousin." Acacia said with his face peeking out from behind the curtain.
Mo Liang poured a glass of water and handed it to Acacia, but did not give it to Zhuang Jinyuan with a glance.
"Hey...... I said, "There's something wrong with you two!" Zhuang Jinyuan came over after realizing it, leaned on the desk and looked at Mo Liang and said: "Mo Li, you said that someone wanted to harm my cousin, so you asked me to ask for a car to take people out of the city, but I see why do you want to abduct my cousin and run away?" You're not going to elope, are you? ”
"So what?" Mo Li's eyes swept and asked lightly.
"What! You stinky boy! On weekdays, when I look at Qinggao, I am about to become a monk like your master, and everyone thinks that you are a cold lover with a pure heart and few desires, but I didn't expect it! You're actually bad, cousin, don't be deceived by him! Zhuang Jinyuan was just joking at first, but the more he talked, the more he felt the panic in his heart, and he was a little serious in the end.
Xiang wanted to explain, but Mo Liang said: "I'm alone, it's not necessarily bad to follow me." ”
"You mean to say that my family is a mess! So I'm not good? Why! Zhuang Jinyuan said angrily: "I said that you didn't let me marry my cousin three or four times, it turned out that I had already thought about it, and Meng Huoran only guarded against me!" ”
Acacia looked at Mo Li in surprise, how could she not know that Zhuang Jinyuan still said this.
Mo Liang deliberately used his body to block Acacia's sight, turned his head to look at Zhuang Jinyuan and said, "When I took Acacia out of Ding'anbo Mansion, it was Meng Huoran who led the way. ”
Acacia glared at him behind his back, and that was because Meng Huoran was not worried about sending her to his grandfather's other village.
But Zhuang Jinyuan believed it, hugged his head and said with a sad face: "Can't I be a good person if my family is messy?" I have been a brother to Meng Huoran for so many years, and he didn't give my cousin to me. Besides, Mo Liang also has relatives who are worried about his family! ”
"I'm not a father and mother with them." Mo Liang said coldly.
"Whoa! It's not like I want a troublesome brother. Zhuang Jinyuan said with a desperate face.
"It's your brother who sent the evidence, so much so that he has to be so lovesick that he has to be terrible in Kyoto." Mo Fence stabbed again.
Zhuang Jinyuan looked up at Acacia's face and said in disbelief: "It won't be what I thought." ”
"That's what you think, the prime minister's next step is to push out Acacia as the granddaughter of Prince Li." Mo Liang said unhurriedly.
Zhuang Jinyuan lowered his head and was silent for a long time.
Acacia is a little unbearable to see him like this, who doesn't have a few uneasy relatives? Especially her own family is enough of a headache.
"When you go back, don't go to the emperor's side less because of guilt." Without waiting for Acacia to speak, Mo Liang said again: "If your brother has any moves, you'd better inform the emperor in time." ”
"You trust the emperor so much? Or are you sure that the emperor is more ...... than the prime minister," Zhuang Jinyuan opened his mouth and didn't continue.
"It's not how I want to be, but the emperor must win!"
Zhuang Jinyuan took a deep look at Mo Liang and buried his head in his arm. What Mo Liang said is not wrong, no matter whether the emperor has the ability to take back this city or not, the emperor must take back all the rights. Otherwise, the Li family is unstable, and the Wei family will not be able to replace it, so the old family will still live on the prime minister, the young people will not have a bright future, and the Wei family will have no peace in the world.
Zhuang Jinyuan wanted to rely on the emperor at the beginning, and if Chen Guo continued to be in the dictatorship of his relatives, it was very likely that he would repeat the path of the previous dynasty.
The carriage drove another section and stopped in front of a village, Zhuang Jinyuan did not get out of the car, but just sat on the beam of the carriage and watched Mo Liang help Acacia down.
"Have you ever thought about how my cousin will marry after the fact?" Zhuang Jinyuan asked.
Mo Liang didn't care about holding Acacia's hand and said, "I have reported to the emperor, and the emperor has already promised Acacia to me." ”
"I knew it! You ......" Zhuang Jinyuan grabbed Mo Li's shirt and raised his fist.
Acacia silently took a step back.
Mo Liang was not afraid, and let Zhuang Jinyuan hold him.
"You should understand that no matter how lovesick you are, you can't get into your house, unless it's a concubine."
"I know! I just can't accept it for a while, you guys who don't eat fireworks in the world would actually rob me of girls. Zhuang Jinyuan put down his hand dejectedly.
"I don't eat the fireworks of the world, and I have no intention of letting go of Acacia from the beginning. You have never been my opponent. After saying this, Mo Liang pulled Acacia and walked into the village.
Spit! Zhuang Jinyuan spit on the ground, the door was closed in front of him, he was so miserable, this guy actually only cared about playing handsome in front of women! Still not brothers!
"Master? Do you want to go back? The coachman ran out of the corner and asked tremblingly.
"Go back? Why go back! Zhuang Jinyuan looked at the gate of Zhuangzi again and sat on the carriageway: "Go around a few more times, let them know that I ran out, don't make trouble for my cousin." ”
Zhuang Jinyuan's carriage had just run far away, and a carriage came out of the back door of Zhuangzi that Mo Li had entered, and this carriage was becoming more and more inconspicuous but very fast, and it entered a valley in less than an hour, and then disappeared.
Acacia and Mo Liang didn't know, just after they left Kyoto, Kyoto suddenly became martial law, and no woman was allowed to go out, and then the Hou Mansion was monitored, and the Ding'an Bo Mansion was even thoroughly investigated.
Prince Li's granddaughter is still in the world, and such a big news suddenly appeared in Kyoto, but before everyone could talk about the exiled golden branches and jade leaves after dinner, the prime minister took the entourage of the princess and her daughter to the golden palace, and wrote letters of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, one by one bitterly complaining about the witnesses of previous years, and step by step put the noble couple who had slept in the imperial tomb in the position of traitors.
