Chapter 55: Xuanxu
"People who have expectations for me......" Li Yuanlin smiled bitterly, with self-deprecation in his eyes: "Will there still be such a person in the entire Western Dynasty?" ”
"Of course there is!"
Ye Lingyi said it categorically, and Li Yuanlin was stunned. Look at 'Mao. Line, medium. Text, Internet
Immediately, I saw the girl raise her chin and say with a hearty face: "Me! When I first met the emperor, I had expectations for him! ”
"First meeting?"
Li Yuanlin remembered the scene when they first met, remembered her staring at him with straight eyes and almost a appearance, and remembered that she said that he was the best-looking person she had ever seen, and inevitably smiled, her eyes were full of gentle jokes: "Are you looking forward to my appearance?" ”
Ye Lingyi playfully stuck out her tongue: "You found out, but the emperor ...... Is it really okay that you're so narcissistic? ”
"Good!" Li Yuanlin was interested in teasing her, and his expression was very confident: "Didn't you see it just now?" My charm is unbeatable! ”
"Yes, yes...... You are invincible! You are invincible all over the world! ”
Ye Lingyi smiled accommodatingly, and with an idea, he simply picked up the fallen locust petal hairpin on the ground and put the black hair in his ear, and deliberately said: "The icing on the cake, you are even more invincible and charming when you wear flowers!" ”
"You little girl is so bold!" Li Yuanlin pretended to reprimand, but his tone was so spoiled that he took off the hairpin flower casually and made a gesture to put it on her ear.
At that time, the night breeze rises, the locust flowers of the tree sway gently, and occasionally a few delicate petals fall to cause the fragrance of flowers to permeate.
The two people under the tree laughed and made trouble, and in the eyes of others, they were like a pair of enviable little lovers.
Suddenly, a heavy voice interrupted the two: "Your Majesty! ”
"Helian Che?" Li Yuanlin was stunned.
Ye Lingyi raised her eyes and saw Helian Che, who was dressed in a black robe, standing not far away and waving at Li Yuanlin, his eyes swept over her coldly, and then said: "The emperor disappeared for no reason, the official post is already in chaos at this time, and the night is cold and heavy, please go back with the minister as soon as possible!" ”
They walked through the bazaar so conspicuously, and it was not surprising that Helian Che could find it.
Li Yuanlin naturally knew this, so he restrained the smile on his face, got up and lowered his eyes to look at her.
After a while, he said softly, "Go back!" ”
Immediately walked to the center of the escort team brought by Helian Che, and walked away with the escort team with a cold face and without saying a word.
In the end, Helian Che fixed his cold gaze on Ye Lingyi, obviously he was just looking at her quietly with those eyes that were not angry, joyless, and unwavering, but it made her stunned in her heart.
What's going on with this feeling of being a thief?
Before she could figure it out, Helian Che turned around and left without saying anything.
The land area of the Western Dynasties is not big or small, and the distance from Tokyo City to Zhenhe County is not very far from the map, but although the southern patrol team rushed non-stop, it took half a month to reach the destination - Zhenhe County, a state and county that is poor and backward compared to other places.
As soon as he entered the state and county government, the county guard, a man surnamed Liang, came out to greet him.
Ye Lingyi stood behind Li Yuanlin and saw it clearly, Nafu Cheng was born very short, but his brain was full of fat, and he was dressed in an official uniform by him, and the hem of his clothes shook quickly with the panicked pace and was extremely inconsistent with the fat body, and it was really not an exaggeration to say that his head was full of urine!
"Xiachen Zhenhe County Mansion Cheng Liangjin knocks on the emperor!"
Fu Cheng Liang Jin knelt at Li Yuanlin's feet, causing the other side to frown in disgust, and his voice was extremely indifferent: "I remember that the current county guard of Zhenhe County is called Liang Si, what's the matter?" Liang Junshou has not been in office for a long time, but now he dares to put on an official stand in front of me? Don't you want me to invite him out to meet him personally? ”
Liang Jin is a very timid coward, Li Yuanlin's voice was high, Liang Jin was almost scared to pee his pants, and replied tremblingly: "My cousin ......"
Liang Jin, who was so frightened that he couldn't choose to speak, was stunned, and immediately realized that the name he blurted out was wrong, so he changed his words and said, "No, I mean Lord County Shou, he ...... He was ...... the other day I went with a foreign rice merchant to learn how to grow grain! ”
"The way to grow food?"
It's really a good show that is passed down from generation to generation and protected by officials, but he didn't know that there were still people in the Liang family who cared about growing grain.
Li Yuanlin sneered, of course he knew that Liang Si was being detained by Helian Che's entourage at this moment, and the reason why he deliberately asked was just to see how many people from Liang Hou were in this Zhenhe County.
Liang Jin felt that his excuses for nonsense were very reasonable, and his confidence immediately came up, and he even spoke a lot more neatly: "Yes! At this time, it was the spring planting season, and Liang Junshou worked tirelessly to follow the rice merchants out to learn the way of growing grain in order for the people to have a good harvest in autumn! It is a blessing for the people that Zhenhe can get such a good official who has worked so hard! Blessings of the town! ”
What nonsense! insisted on saying that leaving his post without permission was a painstaking effort, but he didn't know that at this moment, the diligent Liang Junshou was hiding in a dark room that did not see the light of day.
The corners of Ye Lingyi's eyes jumped, and she resisted the desire to complain.
Li Yuanlin pretended to be suspicious: "What do you say your name is?" ”
"Liang Jin!" Liang Jin immediately replied.
Li Yuanlin was stunned, silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "What a Liang Jin, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”
Liang Jin was proud, thinking that he had used his ingenuity to save the day, Li Yuanlin's sudden questioning really scared Liang Jin a lot, and he was busy kowtowing and said: "The ministers are stupid, please ask the emperor to make it clear!" ”
Li Yuanlin's eyes widened in anger, and he pointed at Liang Jin and reprimanded: "Why did Liang County Shou go to learn from the way of growing grain in person, shouldn't you do these errand tasks as a county guard officer?" Or do you have the heart to replace Liang Si as the county guard of Zhenhe? ”
This black cauldron can be regarded as falling from the sky, where did Liang Jin think that he would exonerate Liang Si wholeheartedly, but in exchange for a great wrong.
But Liang Si has been missing for more than half a month, tell the truth...... Liang Si is really a lord who can't be provoked, if he suddenly comes back one day, Liang Jin, who only got it by him, can't keep his official position, not to mention, and even have to suffer some big hardships.
Don't you say......
Where is the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of him?
Liang Jin secretly weighed it in his heart, and finally thought of a compromise solution: "The subordinate should die!" The subordinates should not deceive the emperor, the subordinates really don't know the whereabouts of the county guard, so this is ......"
"Good you dog!" Wu Yuanzhou took advantage of the situation and shouted: "The crime of bullying the king, you can be regarded as having a thousand lives and it is not enough to pay for it!" ”
"The subordinate deserves to die, the subordinate deserves to die!"
Liang Jin naturally knew that he was Liang Hou's mother's family, and he was also Liang Hou's nominal cousin, although it was far less close than Liang Si's own nephew, Li Yuanlin was afraid that the Liang family's forces would not take him easily!
Li Yuanlin didn't know what the hell was going on with this fight, and secretly laughed at this guy for taking himself too seriously, but said: "Okay, since you call Liang Si your cousin, you must also be the queen mother's mother's family, so we are our own people!" ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Liang Jin fell to the ground in a humble manner, but his face was loosened in a low place that everyone could not see.
"How long has Liang Si been missing? Can you send someone to find it? Li Yuanlin asked again.
Liang Jin's brain spun quickly and said, "Three days!" The people of the government have gone out to look for it! ”
Saying that he has been missing for more than half a month is three days, which is where Liang Jin thinks he is clever.
Li Yuanlin didn't pursue it, nodded and said: "In this case, it's better to find it as soon as possible, I don't want to see Liang Si have an accident and make my mother sad!" ”
Liang Jin responded "yes" with kindness, and finally personally arranged the best accommodation for the Southern Tour and his party.
"This Liang Jin was jointly promoted to the palace when Liang Si was promoted to the county guard, and I heard that Liang Si personally recommended him! Liang Jin's grandfather is also the distant uncle of the Queen Mother, so Liang Jin is nominally Liang Si's cousin and the distant nephew of the Queen Mother......"
When Liu Shilang explained the relationship between Liang Jin, Liang Si and the Queen Mother, Li Yuanlin held his head and looked absent-minded, Liu Shilang finished speaking, and saw that Li Yuanlin had not reacted for a long time, so he shouted in confusion: "Your Majesty? Emperor? ”
Li Yuanlin seemed to ignore Liu Shilang, because the moment the door was opened, Li Yuanlin's expression was suddenly clear, and he took the initiative to get up and walk towards the visitor.
"How's it going?"
Li Yuanlin looked at Helian Che who came in with concern.
Helian Che was not used to his enthusiasm, took a step back, and said in a calm voice: "There is the eyeliner of the government outside, and now it has been completely removed." ”
"That's good!"
The voice fell.
Liu Shilang couldn't wait to say: "The most important thing now is to find Liang Si as soon as possible, find out the cause of Huo Da's death, and don't let those people in the government take a step ahead." ”
Until now, only Li Yuanlin, Helian Che and Ye Lingyi knew about Liang Si's detention except for the henchmen sent out by Helian Che, and Liu Shilang only knew that this trip was to investigate Huoda's affairs under the pretext of the southern tour, but he didn't know that Liang Si and the maids in Huoda's mansion had been controlled by them.
This matter is secretive, and there are very few credible people, so Li Yuanlin has to guard against it.
Now if he wants Liang Si to take the initiative to confess to murdering Huoda, he must take action in person, so he has to hide not only from the gang of people in the government, but also from everyone!
After nightfall, Li Yuanlin summoned the people of Liangjin and the state and county government to a banquet on the pretext of experiencing folk life, and the banquet was placed in the government office.
It seems that Li Yuanlin has done a very ridiculous thing, how can the government be so fair and selfless, and the place where life and death is criticized is so solemn, how can it be used to put on a feast? Isn't this a way for people to pick up the handle?
The entourage headed by Liu Shilang naturally also bitterly advised Li Yuanlin that this move was inappropriate and that he should take back his life, so Li Yuanlin made up his mind that this banquet would be placed in the state and county government! It was placed under the noses of those people in the government.
It's called the safest place to be the most dangerous.
The gang of people in the government are just lackeys of the Liang Hou forces, so naturally they can't think of the reason why Li Yuanlin did this, there is little trouble, and they are naturally happy to see it!
After three rounds of drinking, Li Yuanlin, who was sitting on the main seat, tapped lightly with his fingers pinching the wine cup, and a team of Yingyan came in with their thin limbs.
The women were dressed in exotic dancer costumes, their brightly colored veils fluttering like cicada yarn, and the mysterious veil covered half of their faces, revealing only a pair of sparkling and very charming eyes, and a small waist writhed like a water snake, and the smooth jade arms were not shy to be exposed.
Most of the men in the banquet were dipped in wine, and they were soon attracted by the delicate posture of this group of dancing girls, only a few of them were as old as Liu Shilang who propped their hands on the table to block their vision, and scolded in their mouths: "Bad morals!" ”
It is the nature of men to be lustful, and the tenderness of Yingying Yanyan is very pleasing to the eye even if it is just watched!
However, it is true that there are successive techniques and specializations.
At this time, the individual Yingyan who appeared in everyone's sight didn't know whether they were indiscriminate, or the rumored undercover agent sent by the opposite music fang to be responsible for making a bad reputation.
Among the bunch of beauties with light and graceful dancing, only a frantic twist of her limbs with their own ideas can be seen, and her form not only looks beautiful, but can even be said to be terrifying, looking like the crazy walking dead in major modern movies and TV series, who are "running wildly" towards Li Yuanlin at a staggering speed.
At this time, I don't know which one is not long-eyed, but he yelled in the crowd: "There are assassins!" Protect the Emperor! ”
