Chapter 319: The Yellow River of Bitterness and Grievances Can't Be Washed Away
"My lord, look at this." Under the pillow, Qiao An drew a flying crane with candle oil, and several people looked at each other, and suddenly spoke in unison.
"It turned out to be the Crane Tower!"
This crane tower, General Cheng is no stranger, although she does not know where the headquarters of the crane tower is, but in the past few years in the imperial capital, he often heard people say that where are the people of the crane tower and have done evil.
But what puzzled Li Zhongxuan the most was that he had never sinned against anyone in the Crane Tower, why would their group of people assassinate him?
"It is said that the people of the Crane Tower set the price of the lives of people of 369 and so on, and they will kill all the farmers and merchants, as long as the amount of silver you give is enough." General Cheng explained.
"I remember." Li Zhongxuan suddenly remembered what Sister Hong said after he gave Sister Hong control.
"You're worth five thousand taels of gold!"
Who has the capital of 5,000 taels to assassinate him, this is another difficult problem that makes Li Zhongxuan puzzled.
What made Li Zhongxuan even more strange was that the person who bought the murderer only wanted his own head, but he didn't say that he wanted to kill Qiao An.
This is different from many times before, the previous Ling Yuange and others wanted to kill their veins, don't look at Qiao An is a woman, it seems that she can also pose a threat to the other party.
He analyzed it for a long time, but he didn't come to any conclusion.
Qiao An went to the imperial capital, the small life was still good, since the reconciliation with Sister Hong, Sister Hong has always treated Qiao Ann as a big sister, after the Chinese New Year, the combination of the sky is clear, Sister Hong actually found someone to make clothes for Qiao An, Qiao An can't put it down.
Those colorful clothes don't feel vulgar when they are worn on the body, but there is a sense of agility, Qiao An chats with the girls every day, and at the headquarters of the Dijing Crane Tower, Shen Qiao An found that most of the members in this crane tower are a group of girls.
They change their beautiful clothes every day, and they fight every day, and every girl laughs sweetly, but her hands are very spicy.
Jo Ann found that this group of girls were nine times out of ten typical of emotional wounds that could not be healed, in their concept, men were more powerful than the beasts, and Joan sometimes listened to them talk about their failed marriages and relationships, and even faintly wanted to laugh.
The girls also asked Joan about various things, and Joan answered one by one, and the girls didn't believe that men had "good things" at all. ”
Sister Hong doesn't seem to have any major activities recently, every time she comes back from outside, she always has to take out a lot of decorations for the girls, and the girls go over to receive their share step by step, and the brother is dressed in gold and silver.
It's Shen Qiao'an, it's sad for the girls, no matter how beautiful they are, who can they show it? There are familiar faces everywhere.
"This one is for you." This time, Sister Hong hadn't forgotten to give Qiao An a golden hairpin, and Qiao An held the golden hairpin and looked at it.
She smiled and pointed to her head, I don't want your spoils, this is a human life, and after I used it, I couldn't sleep well. ”
"Look down on people, don't you? Our money may not all be paid for killing, to feed such a large group of people, we also have our own business in the imperial capital, otherwise how do you think we can contact our customers, how to report to us outside. ”
When Shen Qiaoan heard this, she secretly admired Sister Hong, Sister Hong is also too smart, in this position, she is just strategizing.
"If it weren't for the loot, I'd take it." Joan took a self-portrait in the mirror, looked at it, and laughed.
"Don't say it, you're so much better-looking than us." Sister Hong looked at Qiao An.
Qiao An threw away the bronze mirror, "Obviously you are so capable, what are you not doing well, do you have to be a traitor?" ”
"I killed people for money, and I need money even more in the past few years, and besides, the people I kill are all damned people." In Sister Hong's low curse, Qiao An understood that Li Zhongxuan was also a "damned person".
"You can do something else, if you are willing, you let me go, I will find Li Zhongxuan to intercede for you, how good it is for us to do business together." Jo Ann is very persuasive, so she will agree with them before refuting them.
"Now you are indeed very good, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but what about the future? You can't be so short-sighted, for when you are old and your youth is gone with the wind, who will support you? Where do you go from here? ”
"You will not end well, and now it's too late to stop the precipice."
"Huh." Sister Hong sneered, "I wanted to convince you to join us, but I couldn't absorb you, but you guy's sharp teeth are ready to convince me, the old lady lives so freely, it's rare to join you?" ”
"Forget it." Qiao An knew that it was not easy to convince Sister Hong's old stubbornness, so she was ready to break through step by step every day.
Qiao An also admires Sister Hong, she has the ability to take care of everything, and has the heart to command the ambitions. In the past, Qiao An always thought that she was a cold person, but now Shen Qiao An gradually realized that Sister Hong also had an enthusiastic side.
She was just trapped by love, and the events of that year were like a wound in her heart, which always made her remember that she wanted to keep all men out.
Joan was a little sympathetic to her, his view of men was too narrow, and because that man hurt her, she superficially thought that the world was as black as a crow, and all men in the world were exactly the same.
Li Zhongxuan learned from the flying pigeon of the guards in Zhongjing that the headquarters of the Crane Tower was in Zhongjing, and at this moment he was ready to go back, General Cheng followed him behind without hesitation, but Du Bian and the injured Fengyu bitterly advised Li Zhongxuan not to act rashly.
But just when their dispute was inseparable, the matter was resolved, and the imperial court actually issued a holy decree to summon Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng back to Beijing.
Li Zhongxuan hurriedly made preparations and took the rest of the people to the imperial capital, and after arriving in the imperial capital, General Cheng went to Xingyuan, and Li Zhongxuan rushed into the Qiankun Palace alone.
The matter of calling Li Zhongxuan back to Beijing was the meaning of Empress Zhao, and the little emperor also wondered, why did Empress Zhao, who had always had a bad relationship with Li Zhongxuan, announce that Li Zhongxuan would come back?
Could it be that there is something in the court that Li Zhongxuan must come back to solve?
The little emperor sat in the Jinluan Hall and smiled when he saw Li Zhongxuan coming in.
"Zhong Xuan, are you back? It's good, it's good. He got up and approached Li Zhongxuan excitedly.
But at this moment, a masked man flashed out from behind the Jinluan Palace, the man was fierce and vicious, holding a steel knife in his hand, and slashed towards the little emperor.
At this moment, don't say that the little emperor was dumbfounded, even Li Zhongxuan was stunned, he was a little far away from the little emperor, so he could only grab the porcelain bottle at hand and throw it out.
The porcelain vase was smashed by the man, and a sharp piece of porcelain cut through the little emperor's cheek, and he shouted "Zhongxuan save me" and shrank under the table.
The man made a move and cut off the leg of the table.
The little emperor screamed, his arm hurt, and blood gushed down. Li Zhongxuan hurriedly chased after him and duel with this person, that person's martial arts seemed to be far inferior to Li Zhongxuan, and before he could make peace, the steel knife in his hand was about to fall to the ground.
Li Zhongxuan picked up the steel knife and chased after him.
In the cold winter, the man ran to the side of the liquid pool, and he slipped out like a fish and disappeared into the water, and the person disappeared completely.
Then, Li Zhongxuan also wanted to jump, but at this moment, a group of dragon forbidden lieutenants rushed over without a head, and they approached Li Zhongxuan in a corner shape.
"You're here just in time, disperse quickly, that person has entered the pool of liquid." Li Zhongxuan pointed to the pond.
But everyone was indifferent, Li Zhongxuan was still wondering, in the distance, there was a father-in-law who sang in a male duck voice, "The Queen Mother has arrived", everyone turned around, and Wu Yang knelt on the ground to meet him.
Li Zhongxuan turned around and saw that Empress Zhao was surrounded by a group of people, slowly approaching him, Empress Zhao was dressed in jewels, rich and powerful, although the distance was relatively far, but the full royal style made Li Zhongxuan tired.
When Empress Zhao gradually approached Li Zhongxuan, something that made Li Zhongxuan even more annoying happened, Zhao Zheng, the secretary of the criminal department next to Empress Zhao, glanced at Li Zhongxuan coldly, and raised his chin arrogantly.
"This is not Lord Li, Aiqing is fine." Empress Zhao smiled like an early plum blooming in the cold winter, beautiful.
"Niangniang is still as graceful and luxurious as ever." Li Zhongxuan praised against his will.
"Hahaha, haha." Empress Zhao smiled, stretched out her hand slightly, Zhao Zheng gave her hand to Empress Zhao, if no one next to Empress Zhao gently dropped her hand on the back of his hand, at this moment, she smiled like a girl in the prime of her life.
"Hahaha, listen to it, listen quickly, Lord Li actually has a time to praise the mourning family, in the court, people always say that the mourning family and Master Li are not on good terms, it's really nonsense." Empress Zhao smiled semergingly.
Li Zhongxuan was disgusted by that smile, and secretly clenched his fists.
"Li Zhongxuan!" Empress Zhao's laughter stopped abruptly, and her cold eyes looked at Li Zhongxuan, her eyes were like poisonous arrows, and she couldn't wait to shoot Li Zhongxuan through.
"The mourning family listens to your words, you need to go to Zhongjing for your own good, you are always wandering outside, and everyone thinks that the mourning family is calculating you! The mourning family is really confused, why did they call you back to Beijing, you actually attacked the emperor! ”
When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he said awe-inspiringly: "Niangniang is talking nonsense, Weichen just arrived in Zhongjing to come to see my emperor, and I was thinking about my emperor and Niangniang along the way. ”
"And you have to quibble!" The Queen Mother pointed to the steel knife in Li Zhongxuan's hand, and Li Zhongxuan knew that he had been fooled, and there were still blood marks on the steel knife.
He hurriedly threw the steel knife at his feet.
"It was an assassin's knife, I chased him and he fell." Li Zhongxuan explained, but in this case, don't say to persuade the Queen Mother, the group of dragon forbidden lieutenants next to them looked at each other, and they didn't believe Li Zhongxuan's words.
"Li Zhongxuan, the mourning family has mistaken you."
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take it quickly?" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department frowned and ordered angrily.
Everyone immediately outflanked the past, and Li Zhongxuan said in his heart: At this moment, as long as you take it, you will definitely die, it is better to resist and resist, and leave it for a slow explanation in the future.
The Queen Mother smiled coldly.
"Li Zhongxuan killed the king, and he also intended to abscond, and he was punished for both crimes, where is Yu Linlang! Take it for the mourning family! Listening to the meaning of the Queen Mother, it is just "taking it", not "correcting the law on the spot", Li Zhongxuan was slightly relieved.
After all, he is also a rare virtuous minister in the court, and it is not easy to make a plan for himself, because Li Zhongxuan twisted his eyebrows and did not resist.
Seeing that Li Zhongxuan was restrained, there was a strange smile on the corner of Zhao Hou's mouth.
"Lord Zhao, I'll leave it to you next, my lord can be careful! This Li Zhongxuan, unlike ordinary people, he has three heads and six arms, and ordinary copper walls and iron walls can't do anything to him. ”
