Chapter 11: Ancestor Worship Ceremony

Not long after Mo Yanyu and the regent left the palace, the prime minister came, and the prime minister entered the door and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister heard that King Yi is going to suppress the pirates?"

The emperor was correcting the recital and didn't look up and said: "The imperial brother just mentioned it, if you really want the imperial brother to go, you have to discuss it with the queen mother, and now it is important to focus on tomorrow's ancestor worship ceremony."

The prime minister wanted to say something, but the emperor refused: "I know what the prime minister is worried about, I have no rights, everything has to listen to the queen mother, okay, your old health is not good, go back first." The emperor looked up at the prime minister, and the prime minister shook his sleeves when he saw the situation and said, "The minister retires." He went out of the imperial study.

Early the next morning, after washing up the ink dyeing, I took yesterday's road map and read it again, and after remembering the road map in my mind, I started to make up, and the ink dye in order not to reveal my identity, after putting on makeup, I spent 10 minutes to make a human skin mask, this thing ink dye found that the master was doing it when he was 10 years old, and he imitated it himself, and after failing more than a dozen times, he succeeded, so this skill ink dye also learned, it was simple to do, and it took about an hour to be used, and the ink dye took advantage of this time to go out. A quarter of an hour later, Mo Dye appeared at the door of the tailor's shop, and when he entered, he asked, "Boss, do you have any ready-made old lady's clothes?" I'm resting today and want to buy a piece of clothing for the elderly at home. ”

The boss saw that it was ink dyeing, greeted him with a smile, and stepped forward: "It's Qingyan girl, there are a few ready-made clothes here, you see, which one of the photos you take, the old man is not suitable for dressing, you can use it to change." ”

Mo Dye walked in and picked up one of the black dark flower clothes, and asked, "Boss, how much is this?" ”

"This piece is 20 taels, the old customer is over, how about a 20% discount, 16 taels?" The boss is also very happy to give a direct discount of 20%, and there is no need to give it directly after thinking about it.

The ink dye returned to the red man's workshop, the human skin mask was not good, so he took out the clothes and tried it, it was not bad, at least the ink dye was very satisfied, and the human skin mask was almost the same after trying, the ink dye covered it with a lid, put it in the baggage, put the clothes I just bought in the baggage, and went out after packing the ink dye.

At this time, it was already noon, and Mo Ran planned to eat noodles first, Mo Ran walked to Zuisheng Building and went in to sit down: "Xiao Er, come to a bowl of beef noodles." ”

Xiao Er ran out of a corner when he heard this: "Guest officer, do you want anything?" ”

"No, I can't eat too much." Ink Dye said truthfully.

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, I'll report to you, you drink tea first." Xiao Er took the kettle, put the cup on the table, poured a cup of tea, and ran to the back.

A quarter of an hour later: "Miss, this is the beef noodle you wanted." Before the shopkeeper came to him, he heard the voice.

Mo Ran nodded, looked at the beef noodles in front of him, and when he was about to eat, Qin Zhongqing, who came in the door, saw Mo Ran at a glance, and motioned for Xiao Er to do it himself.

"Ink-dyed girl, what are you doing here?" Qin Zhongqing walked over to the ink-dyed table and sat down.

Mo Ran took a bite of noodles, and looked up to see that it was Qin Zhongqing: "Why is Qin Gongzi here?" Could it be that you're here for dinner too? Just right, wait for him to pay for my bowl too. "Ink dyeing is so blatantly taking advantage, it just so happened that Xiao Er came over to pour tea.

"Okay, no problem, I pay for the food in the restaurant today, what is it to eat a bowl of noodles?" Qin Zhongqing pointed to the menu of the restaurant and said to Mo Ran.

"I'll just have a bowl of noodles, as for what Qin Gongzi eats, you can order it yourself, and I will not accompany Qin Gongzi when I have something to do." The ink dye then eats the noodles.

"Ink-dyed girl, what's the matter? Qin can give you a ride. Qin Zhongqing knew that he had other thoughts about ink dyeing, but as for whether he liked it or not, he didn't know.

"No need, this is my private matter, so I won't trouble Gongzi Qin." After Mo Ran finished speaking, he finished eating the noodles as quickly as he could: "Young Master Qin, you wait for your meal, I'll go first." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Qin Zhongqing knew that since he had already made it clear, there was no need to chase after him.

Mo Dye walked into a small alley, began to put on makeup and hair, and changed clothes, and after a quarter of an hour an old woman came out of the alley, Mo Dye looked at the road section and knew that he was on this side of North Street, and he needed to go to West Street.

At this time, more than 100 killers gathered in the dark room of King Yi's mansion were waiting for King Yi to return to the house, and King Yi appeared at the door as soon as he entered the door: "Lord Wang, everyone has arrived." ”

Mo Yanyu nodded and walked to the study, opened the door of the dark room, and then entered and closed the door of the study with Mo Yanyu.

After Mo Yanyu entered, he got the mask belt on the side of the wall, and after walking to the dark room, everyone knelt down: "See the door master." ”

"Get up." Mo Yanyu raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

"I summoned your Wanjun group to gather here today because tomorrow you need to go to the ancestor worship ceremony and kill a few people to disrupt the progress of the ceremony." Mo Yanyu's action is exactly the same as the plan of the Phantom Building, except that the Phantom Building directly starts from the people around the emperor.

Mo Yanyu motioned to Tingye to give the list to everyone: "There will be about 150 people attending the ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow, but with the local people and onlookers, there should be hundreds or even more, and there will be troops stationed at that time, so this arrangement is different from before, these lists in your hands are the people you want to kill, three people are responsible for one, like the simplest three-person ring formation like in training, and get the same name as a group." Mo Yanyu said and left.

"Congratulations to the doorman." All bow to the doorkeeper.

On the second day, Mo Dye got up early in the morning, and the street was already very lively, and everyone was dressed up on the street, which felt very grand.

Through yesterday's drill, Mo Dye probably knew that the emperor should take a break in the bamboo forest, and the opportunity for ink dye was here.

Ink Dye has already set off for the bamboo forest.

Half an hour later, the emperor's procession came out of Dongzhimen, with great momentum, and the people on both sides were worshipping.

The emperor stood up to greet the people, and the queen mother and empress also stood up to greet them.

In this way, the team walked for half an hour and walked to the bamboo forest: "Stop." The emperor shouted.

At this time, Mo Dye was already waiting in the bamboo forest and was about to fall asleep, and this sound pulled Mo Dye back.

Mo Dye saw that the emperor said something to the father-in-law next to him, and the father-in-law immediately nodded and got down from the sedan chair, at this time Mo Dye quickly came out of the bamboo forest and ambushed beside him, and Mo Dye began to sprinkle some powder in the air, before the emperor arrived, Mo Dye had sprinkled powder at the entrance of the bamboo forest all the way down the mountain.

After a while, some people began to faint, which would attract the attention of others, and when everyone's attention was on the fainting person, Mo Dye quickly came out to find his father-in-law who had just gotten off the sedan chair, and opened his mouth instinctively with the back of his head, and Mo Dye directly stuffed a pill in his mouth, and then flashed people. The accompanying imperial doctor looked at the situation of the fainted person, and knelt under the emperor's sedan chair: "Back to the emperor, these fainted people have been poisoned by the stinging of shallow grass, this grass is very weak, only people who are not in good health will faint, and it will be fine if you rest." ”

In this way, it seems that no one in the accompanying army fainted, and all those who fainted were palace maids and eunuchs.

Everyone didn't notice a person at this time, it was Qi Qiong, he was the one who was fed the medicine just now, he couldn't say his bitterness now, because he was choked by the pill, and now he can't spit it out or swallow it.

But the reason why medicine is medicine is that it will definitely melt and absorb.

"Since there is nothing to do, some people are left to take care of the fainted palace maids and eunuchs, and the others continue to move forward." The emperor spoke and continued to walk.

At this time, Mo Dye was ready to clap his hands.

Three quarters of an hour later, the emperor and his entourage came to the gate of Huguo Temple, the host at the door had already arranged for people to wait, at this moment Qi Qiong fell down in response, with blood on the corner of his mouth, this time everyone panicked, and the queen clenched the hand of the palace maid with an "ah".

The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check, and 5 minutes later, the imperial doctor replied: "Back to the emperor, Gonggong Qi committed suicide by taking poison." ”

"What? Suicide by poisoning? The emperor questioned.

"Judging by the condition, he committed suicide by taking poison, and there were no other injuries on his body." The imperial doctor replied truthfully.

"Your Majesty, this matter will be investigated by Dali Temple, and today's ancestor worship ceremony is important." The Regent said as he took a step forward.

"Xia Qian." The emperor was serious.

"Wechen is here." Xia Qian sat and waited to speak.

"You come to investigate Qi Qiong's case." The emperor pointed to Qi Qiong, who fell to the ground, and after speaking, he pulled the queen to the temple.

"Wechen took the order." After Xia Qian finished speaking, he summoned the participants of today's Dali Temple to immediately investigate the corpse.

When the Queen Mother saw that the emperor had entered, she followed in.

"Your Majesty, you and the Queen Mother, as well as the Queen Mother, need to go to the meditation room to rest for a while, and the ceremony will start in half an hour." The presiding officer stood in front of the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and instructed.

The emperor nodded and said, "Master Host, I'm in trouble." ”

"Donor, please come here." Several little monks made a gesture of invitation and waited for the emperor.

The emperor followed the little monk to the meditation room.

"Donor, this is your room." A little monk took the emperor into the meditation room.

"Two female donors, your room is in front." Another little monk continued to walk forward with the queen and the queen mother.

King Yi was very quiet all the way, and quietly saw everything going through, but he didn't see the ink staining of Yi Rong, but he didn't speak from beginning to end, and after the emperor entered the meditation room, he said to Tingye: "Start acting in a quarter of an hour." ”

Thunder Night disappeared as soon as she heard the instructions.

At this time, Mo Dye returned to his original appearance in the alley, and returned to the Red Man Square after a quarter of an hour, ready to sleep, and was called by his mother who had just woken up as soon as he entered the door.

"Mom, what are you looking for me?" Mo Ran said helplessly.

"Don't want to ask for money?" Mom took out the money bag and put it on Mo Ran's hand: "At this time, Liang Gongzi gave it last night, and the bag was settled for you, not much one hundred taels." ”

"There's nothing you can't do with money, right, Mom? Mom, I'll go first. When Mo Dye saw the money, he pretended to be flattering.

At this time, Thunder Night had already commanded the start of the operation.

At the beginning of the ancestor worship ceremony, the emperor, the queen, and the queen mother stood at the front, listening to the presiding master chanting scriptures and praying for blessings.

Halfway through the ancestor worship ceremony, a 'report' broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, 45 people in your entourage died today, and 3 officials from the DPRK and China died." Soldiers of the accompanying army reported.

When the emperor heard this, he was frightened and thought, 'What's going on?' It's just an ancestor worship ceremony, how can there be so many things? ’

"Emperor, the most important thing now is to finish the ancestor worship ceremony, and first arrange for the ministers of the court to find out." The Queen Mother is also aware of the crisis, but now she has to focus on the ancestor worship ceremony.

The emperor nodded and looked at the regent: "Regent, you come and lead a few courtiers to investigate the case and give the results as soon as possible." ”

Mo Yanyu knew that the emperor would not ask him to go, because he also had an identity as a prince, worshipping ancestors and ancestors, and the prince must be present, unless the prince who fought on the battlefield and guarded the border pass could not be reached, he looked sideways at King Yun beside him now, and King Yun also saw that Mo Yanyu was looking at himself, so he smiled at Mo Yanyu and then lowered his head.

King Yun thought to himself: "The big man is really right, King Yi is going to make a small move." ’

Ink Dye returned to the house, lay down and fell asleep, dreaming of the scene of last night in his sleep.

The ancestor worship ceremony is finally over, but the regent has not returned, the emperor stomped his feet in the meditation room urgently, at this time it was raining heavily, standing at the door can not see who the person is.

"Your Majesty, it's raining too much now, so you need to wait until the rain is light in the meditation room before leaving." The host said outside the door.

"Okay, Master Presiding, I know." The emperor always felt gloomy when he looked at the weather, so he said to the queen and the queen mother: "Queen, queen mother, you should also go back to the meditation room first, and wait for the rain to light before leaving." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine retired first." After the queen finished speaking, she walked forward with the monk.

"Your Majesty, it's really important to have a murder, but you have to pay attention to your body." The Queen Mother took a few steps forward and said to the emperor.
