Volume 1 The Heart of a Young Man Chapter 47 The sky is cold and the earth is freezing
The moon is dark and the wind is high, when stealing chickens and touching dogs.
"Goo-goo."
The birds that stayed on the eaves suddenly fluttered up and circled down.
In the Imperial City of Beijing, in the eastern compound, the lights are still there, but the figures are still faint.
This is the place where Haoguo collects documents and archives - Jiaku. However, today's Jiaku is different, the emperor loves to read, so this has also become the Imperial Academy, but the storage is all books and picture scrolls that His Majesty has read, or does not like to read.
The sheer number of varieties and quantities in it is unprecedented.
It is precisely because of this that the armor is not so important. It's all books and picture scrolls, and there are some ordinary objects, and the thief wants to steal it, so he should choose the treasure pavilion in the palace, and he wants this pile of paper to be made.
So, slowly, there were fewer guards, and there were fewer people willing to come, except for poor scholars who had no money, or officials who came here to rub books, no one was willing to get involved.
Could it be that someone would risk their lives to break into the royal place in order to see the past of those old sesame seeds and rotten grains?
In a word, today's Haoguo Jiaku is not that important.
However, tonight's Li Xiao came here, in order to get out of Yu Xian'er's convoy, he also fought with a few maids, for the one in the armor that recorded the file of Jingshi sixteen years ago.
He wanted to know where the burned yard in his dream was, sixteen years ago, and why.
"Ahh
The Night's Watch sneezed, then changed positions and went back to sleep. A few night watchmen smiled and looked at their brother's ugly appearance, and then began to circle aimlessly.
Taking advantage of the night, Li Xiao quietly touched the dark courtyard wall, and then climbed in without a trace, without making any movement.
It's here! In front of you is Koku. Tower-like building, with layers upward.
The first floor is wide and brightly lit, and inside, there are only two or three figures, walking slowly around. Further up, the lights are sparse, and there is almost no light on the dots.
"The first, second, and third floors are brand new, and the old files will not be stored here, go up, go to the fourth floor and take a look." Li Xiao muttered to himself.
With that, he moved. Step on the protruding eaves and jump lightly.
"Goo, goo"
The birds fluttered past, causing the night patrol soldiers to subconsciously turn around, only to see a few falling feathers.
"Those annoying birds again." The soldiers complained.
"Whew." Li Xiao let go of the bird in his hand that almost harmed him, and continued to climb the stairs.
……
Haoguo Jiaku, a total of five layers. The first floor is the historian's book; The second floor is His Majesty's book collection; The third floor is the historian's collection of new books; The fourth layer is the archives of Haoguo in previous years; As for the fifth floor, it doesn't matter, and no one cares about it.
As usual, just after the first shift, Fang Chuyao went up to the fourth floor. To read books, first look at the calendar, know all things, and then read the books of the world in His Majesty's collection, so that you can have a better experience.
In fact, it is because he is more gossip about what happened in various parts of Haoguo.
"During the Yongle period of Dahao, the imperial historian Zhang Yi begged for a concubine, but the concubine and the wife were feuds, for a while, the disputes continued, and the imperial historian asked for a concubine, which was also a feud, and the three parties simply stood separately and became enemies of each other. Keep the family calm. ”
Fang Chuyao sat at the table, looking at the old file in his hand with relish. These things that seem worthless to outsiders are very fond of them.
"Crunch"
A thud broke the silence. Fang Chuyao put down the scroll in his hand, subconsciously got up, and looked around.
"No one?" Fang Chuyao shook his head, wondering if he was tired from staying up late to read books in the past few days. Also, in the past two days, my waist is a little bad, and the time is a lot shorter, and I can't finish reading three books.
Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly saw a figure coming towards him, extremely fast.
"Smack, smack."
Fang Chuyao blocked the attack of the incoming people. "Shhh He took two steps back. Just as he lost his mind, someone rushed again.
Grabbing, oppressing, covering mouths. All in one go, without a moment's pause.
"Knock knock." Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Xiao Fang, is that you?"
There was no answer, and the person outside the door was a little anxious and wanted to push the door in.
"Yes, it's me." Li Xiao let go of his hand and motioned for Fang Chuyao to speak.
"I thought something had happened to you, making a fuss." The people outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, although the armor was not as important as in previous dynasties, but no matter how it was said, it was the territory of the royal family, and no one could escape from it except for the fork.
"I accidentally touched it, and now it's fine." Fang Chuyao glanced at Li Xiao and said.
"Oh, then I'm on patrol. You also rest early. With that, the man outside the door turned and left.
This Fang Chuyao is a person sent by the courtyard, although he is a civilian, but he is not comparable to a person like them who guards the armor, besides, that courtyard, they don't want to provoke. Besides, Xiaofang is good, he doesn't use the yard to press people on weekdays, and he often invites everyone to drink. But in the end, no one wants to have anything to do with that courtyard and the group of eunuchs in Dongchang.
The people in these two institutions are not clean.
Listening to the footsteps of the distant outside the text, until there was no sound at all, Li Xiao let go of the hand holding Fang Chuyao, casually glanced at the scroll on the table, then glanced at the latter with disdain, and said, "Thank you." ”
"Not necessarily." Fang Chuyao moved his muscles, looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and said, "Who are you, why are you okay to break into the armory?" ”
Li Xiao didn't speak, and slowly walked to the bookshelves full of rooms, falling into deep thought. There are too many books here, and besides, they are not marked, and if you want to find that file, you have to find the Year of the Monkey.
"What are you looking for?" Fang Chuyao stepped forward and said.
This man is so strange. Li Xiao looked at Fang Chuyao and didn't understand what this person was thinking. He just treated him like this, but he seemed to be fine, and came over to find existence.
"I've read most of the four-story volumes, if you're looking for something, you can tell me, I'm bored anyway." Fang Chuyao said unrelentingly.
"Okay, just let him help find it."
Li Xiao said: "Sixteen years ago, the Jingshi archives. ”
"Sixteen years ago?" Fang Chuyao was puzzled, there have been many things in the past sixteen years, what emperor was reinstated, what prince returned to Beijing, and whose young master married an oiran from a certain building, etc.
"High-rise mansions go to water."
High-rise houses go to the water. This is easy to find, he remembered that there were three courtyards in the capital that year, but it coincided with the restoration of the British Emperor, and one was recorded, as if it was something, yes, in Wencheng Street in the west of the city.
Thinking about it, Fang Chuyao entered the bookshelf group, opened them one by one, and after a while, he walked out covered in dust, and in his hand was a withered yellow book.
"Here you go."
Li Xiao took the scroll, sat down at the table, and looked through it in the moonlight.
"Actually, you don't have to break into the armory at night." Fang Chuyao scattered the dust on his body, sat down, and said, "Jiaku is no longer as important as it used to be, you can come in with any official to help, and Your Majesty will not stop people who read books." ”
"Hmm."
Fang Chuyao was lying lazily, he had been in Jiaku for so long, and the people he worked with were more or less repulsive to himself, and he would not have a hot face and a cold ass, anyway, the yard didn't give him a task, so he simply went to bed early and worked late. The key is that the night is quiet, and reading books and gossiping is even more interesting.
It's just that it's been a long time and it's lonely. Fortunately, someone came today, regardless of whether he was an enemy spy or not, if he was an undercover agent, he would not have come here. Chat, a pastime of loneliness, besides, the person who came today, although he came up and saw a big shot, but there was room for it, and the tricks were gentle, and the point was up.
is also a gossip person, not a lifelong enemy.
"Hey, what the hell are you looking for, what's so nice about this waterlogged house." Fang Chuyao leaned over and said with a smile: "It's better to take a look at other gossip and interesting things, let me tell you, these previous things are really interesting." ”
Li Xiao ignored Fang Chuyao, and looked through the case files in his hand repeatedly, but there was nothing he wanted to know. The most important thing is that there is only a few sentences in the record of that incident in the case file:
"New calendar, Wencheng Street, the fire will not be extinguished for three days, and no one will survive."
"Gone?" Li Xiao looked at Fang Chuyao and asked. The so-called archives, how can it be recorded like this.
"Huh?" Fang Chuyao leaned forward, glanced at it twice, then thought for a moment, and said: "There should be still one, but it is the one in the back, listening to the steward, it seems that it has been taken away for more than ten years, as for who it is, I don't know." ”
Fang Chuyao didn't panic, it was indeed taken away, Li Xiao turned it over, and he could clearly see the residue that had been eroded by the years.
"That year, it was just this yard with water, do you want to look at other years? Hey, don't go. Fang Chuyao put away the scroll, and just turned his head, he saw Li Xiao jumping out of the window.
"Nowadays, why are people so impatient, yes, it's lonely to be alone in the boudoir."
Fang Chuyao jumped casually and put the scroll back in place, as if it had never been turned over.
……
"Three watches, safe and sound......" The sound of the watch in the distance was leisurely, rippling in the city.
Li Xiao walked on the empty street, and the cunning moonlight scattered down and shone on his body, looking lonely.
Tonight, he broke into the armor and looked at the archives of that year, which was very abnormal, and the previous records were complete, but in the paragraph he wanted to know, there was only one sentence left.
He didn't know what had happened back then, or why he had hidden it. All I got tonight was to know the courtyard of my dreams.
However, if you want to know everything, you can only go to the person who appeared in your dream, Ma Yanyi's father, Ma Zai.
"Alas, I originally thought it was just a time-traveling drama, but now it's become a mystery." Li Xiao pinched his forehead to relieve some tiredness.
Shook his head, let go of his mind, there is no need to worry about this tonight, at this time, you have to worry about it, you have to find a place to go, at night, the inn is not open, Wan'an Temple can't go back, it is difficult to live on the street. I only know that it is better to follow the jade fairy, and you can also have a stable land.
With a sigh, he turned his back to the moonlight and ran towards the west city.
And in the place just now, in an alley, four figures squatted, and on the ground behind them, there was a person lying on the ground. Look at the man on the ground, he is long gone.
However, if Li Xiao was present, he could recognize that this person was the arrogant subordinate Wu San who he saw next to Cai Kun a few days ago.
The eyes of the four people did not look at Wu San, but at Li Xiao under the moonlight.
"Why is he here today?"
"Big brother, you have to go."
With that, the four disappeared into the night, without a trace. Only the man on the ground was left, lying cold in the moonlight.
"When it's ugly, it's cold."
