Chapter 250: Swimming in the Lake

Yin Zhen was sure that he finally saw the appearance of the man clearly, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with apricot eyes and nose, pink face and peach cheeks, beautiful appearance, quite moving, but I don't know what Lu Dao wore a white dress for, and there was a white flower on his sideburns, and his face was full of eagerness.

Without waiting for Yinzhen to say anything, she had already hurried to the big drum erected at the entrance of the mansion, bit her teeth lightly, and then picked up the drum that was placed under the drum rack and hit it on the big drum hard.

"Boom! Knock knock! The sound of the drums came from afar, and it fell on the ears of everyone in the palace, and everyone who heard this sound looked nervous, because this sound represented another unjust case.

"Ascension!" Chen Yuanjing changed out of his civilian clothes at the first time, changed to an official uniform embroidered with a white pheasant, and after taking the three-eyed flower feather handed by the master and wearing it on his head, he said solemnly: "Go to the court!" ”

Just when the Hangzhou Mansion became extremely popular because of the arrival of this woman, Yinzhen and the others had already returned to the inn.

The next day, the people of Hangzhou City were surprised to find that there were officials who went in to search from house to house, even if they were high-ranking officials and wealthy households, none of them were spared, and they heard that this was the meaning of Lord Yin, but they did not know the reason, only later through the mouths of people who worked in the government office vaguely knew a little bit, as if they were tracking down something very important.

Before that, there was another shocking news circulating in the streets and alleys of Hangzhou, the Zhao family, which started by selling spices, was wiped out overnight, and the twelve people up and down all but one was injured and survived.

The one who survived was the third young master of the Zhao family, I thought this was a great luck in misfortune, but I didn't want the descendants of the Zhao family to report to the official and say that I saw that the third young master of Zhao slashed everyone in the Zhao family with a knife like crazy; In other words, he killed all those who died.

In view of the seriousness of the case, although no physical evidence was found, the Hangzhou government still put the injured Zhao San Young Master into the prison, and then there were several interrogations, and finally concluded that Zhao San Young Master was the murderer who killed everyone, and the murder weapon was also found in Zhao San's room, which was a bloodstained short knife, which was consistent with the wound of the deceased.

Chen Yuanjing was the presiding judge of this matter, and he was sentenced to be beheaded after next autumn. The official document of the autumn decision had been presented to the imperial court, but on this day, someone suddenly beat the drum for him as the fiancΓ©e of Zhao San, insisting that he did not kill anyone, and someone blamed him.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, whenever a certificate is submitted, as a government minister, he must accept it, even if he has been convicted of a crime, as long as the person is not dead, others will be allowed to overturn the case for him.

However, Chen Yuanjing considered that the evidence of the person in this matter was there, and there was no doubt at all, so after careful consideration, he returned the woman's pleadings.

These things, Yinzhen heard others talk about them in the inn, and he didn't pay attention to them, as for the woman who presented the form, he guessed that it might be the person who bumped into him that day.

After entering October, there were autumn rains for a few days, gradually cold and cool, until the tenth day of the first month of October, the weather improved, and there was the autumn sun shining brightly, shining on the people with a little warmth.

Yin Zhen remembered that Hangzhou had never taken Ling Ruo to the West Lake these days, and had been staying in the inn, although she didn't say it, but her heart must be longing, and she took Ling Ruo to the West Lake, this way, shoulder to shoulder, the flow of people is like a tide, whether it is people from Hangzhou Mansion or foreign tourists, they have been held back by the lingering autumn rain for so many days, they all take this opportunity to come out for a walk, and the world-famous West Lake is the best choice.

There are thirty-six West Lakes in the world, and the best one is Hangzhou.

This is the Song Dynasty writer Su Dongpo left a poem in Hangzhou, the West Lake, clouds and mountains on three sides, a water hugging the city of the mountains and waters, with "want to compare the West Lake with the West, heavy makeup is always appropriate", so that all living beings in the world are overwhelmed.

Walking along the lake, painting bridges, smoke willows, cloud trees, mountains, beautiful forests and springs, and beautiful scenery made Ling Ruo's eyes flawless, if it weren't for Yinzhen holding her hand tightly all the way, the two would have been scattered by the crowd; Yinzhen once went to the south of the Yangtze River with Kangxi, and every time he came, Hangzhou was a must-pass place, because he was quite familiar with the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

"Look, that's where legend has it that White Snake and Xu Xian met." Yinzhen pointed to a bridge located at the east end of the white causeway and said: "Every time the winter snow is at its peak, this bridge looms on the surface of the lake from a distance, as if it is cut off from it, so it is called the broken bridge and the residual snow." ”

The story of "The Legend of the White Snake" is well-known, and Ling Ruo has heard it since he was a child, a story about a snake spirit who has become a cultivator and is married to a mortal Xu Xian in order to repay his kindness. The snake demon who turned into Bai Suzhen stole Ganoderma lucidum from the sky for Xu Xian, and fought with Fahai to spread the golden mountain, I don't know how many people were moved.

Now the broken bridge is in front of you, there is no reason to go away, pull Yinzhen to walk on the bridge together, look around, the beautiful scenery of the West Lake is in full view, as for the legend of the Leifeng Pagoda that pressed Bai Suzhen is on the edge of the West Lake. When Fahai suppressed the White Snake, he said: Unless the Leifeng Pagoda falls and the West Lake dries up, the White Snake will never be born.

Seeing Ling Ruo standing between the broken bridges and not leaving, Yin Zhen said with a smile: "Ruo'er is standing here, but she also wants to meet a Xu Immortal like Bai Suzhen?" ”

Ling Ruoyan smiled, stroked the cold railing and said, "The concubine is already satisfied with the fourth master in this life, so she doesn't want any Xu Xian." What's more, Xu Xian is not Bai Suzhen's good match, Xu Xian abandoned her after knowing that Bai Suzhen was a snake demon, which made Bai Suzhen hate in Leifeng Tower. ”

The different paths of the shemales have never been the real reason for separating the two, Xu Xian's cowardice and incompetence are, but it's a pity that it's too late for Bai Suzhen to recognize this fact.

I don't know why, when talking about this, Yin Zhen remembered his previous misunderstanding of Ling Ruo, and felt quite guilty in his heart, holding his hand and saying warmly: "It's just a legend, don't worry about it, I'll accompany you to take a boat to Flower Port to watch the fish later." ”

Ling Ruo was just about to agree, when suddenly a gloomy voice came from the side, "It's not a legend, there are really white snakes and green snakes, they are still alive now, and the green snake has been wandering in the West Lake to save her sister." ”

Ling Ruo was startled by this voice, and followed the voice, only to see that there was an unkempt woman beside them at some point, wearing a half-crippled chrysanthemum on her head that had been picked from nowhere. The most amazing thing was that she was only wearing a single dress on such a cold day, which was supposed to be the color of violet, but because of too much dirt, it looked black, and only occasionally a small piece showed its original color.

The woman glanced mysteriously at the people passing around her and said, "I'll tell you, maybe one of the people next to us is the green snake incarnation." ”

Yin Zhen and Ling Ruo both frowned, I don't know where this woman came from, and she said such strange things, how could there really be a demon in this world.
