After many years of absence, he stepped into Beijing again, and everything here has long been a matter of fact.

Every step seemed a little heavy, holding the reins of the horse, his expression looked a little solemn, when he entered the inner city, looking towards the familiar palace, the city gate tower he saw was a little unfamiliar, different from the city gate tower in memory.

After the Qing captives entered the customs, it was renovated, perhaps, this is the so-called "new dynasty atmosphere", not only that, but even the most familiar yamen in the past is gone. Where did the yamen go? He didn't care, he just walked around the city like any other trader, occasionally looking around, trying to piece together the fragments of his memories, but everything was so vague.

Finally, he came to the Noon Gate, which was the main gate of the Forbidden City. When he came to the noon gate, looking at the noon gate that had changed its appearance, his mind came to the idea of how he ran into the noon gate when he escaped from the camp of the thieves into the capital division, and there was no one in the palace at that time.

Where did everyone go?

He ran to the Shuntian Palace, to the East Pavilion, and to the Wenhua Palace, and there was no one. Finally, he returned to the square in front of Suncheonjeon Temple, and stood there to see lead-black clouds rolling in the sky in the distance. He just stood there, looking at the clouds in the distance, and countless thoughts rolled in his heart.

He heard the sound of cannons, he heard the sound of firecrackers, and the guns roared like during the New Year, and the thieves were about to enter the city.

Where is the emperor?

Until the end, he did not find the emperor, when looking for the emperor or the crown prince, he saw the palace maid and several princesses lying crookedly on the steps and corridors, and from the inside of the palace door he saw the feet of the queen of Zhou, when he knelt down to see off the queen, he saw Princess Zhaoren lying on the ground still panting, and the sword did not stab her heart.

It was at that time that he made up his mind to protect the princess's integrity. As a hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei, he was born to protect the royal family. He bandaged the princess's wounds, but instead of leaving immediately, he found a girl of the same age as Princess Akihito, changed her into a princess dress, and then killed the killer and even cut off her face with a sword.

Then, he took the princess to hide in the house, and only after the princess was in good health did he take the princess south, and then ......

Just stared at the noon gate, and when he opened his eyes again, Shi Lei's rather solemn expression squeezed out a smile, he not only kept the princess, but also found a suitable home for the princess. In this way, you will be worthy of the emperor!

Walking on the streets of the capital, Shi Lei always looks around, he always wants to find some old friends from passers-by, he knows that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, some of his colleagues, some of them entered the Manchu Emperor's Luan Yiwei, some became vendors selling along the street, and some people were incognito like him.

Where are they?

No one knows, finally, he came to the Minzhong Temple, which was built in Youzhou City by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the nineteenth year of Tang Zhenguan, to commemorate the soldiers who died in the cross-sea expedition. The temple had not yet been built, and Li Shimin died. After Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian issued edicts many times, it was built in the first year of Long Live Tongtian after Wuhou, and was named "Minzhong Temple". After 51 years to build the Minzhong Temple, the scale is magnificent, and there is a high pavilion built in the temple, called the Minzhong Pavilion, and there is a proverb "Minzhong High Pavilion, go to the sky to grasp" to describe its tallness. It's just that this high pavilion ceased to exist before the Ming Dynasty, and the old Minzhong Temple in the Tang Dynasty only left a few broken tablets, which was renamed Chongfu Temple after the orthodox seven years of reconstruction, but finally fell into disuse.

When he came to Chongfu Temple again, Shi Lei found that the incense in Chongfu Temple was more prosperous than in the past, and this change made Shi Lei's brows frown slightly, but he still quietly entered the temple, saluted the Buddha, and stayed in the temple.

That night, under the begonia tree in the temple, Shi Lei had buried something in the ground many years ago, more than ten years have passed, maybe the wooden box has already rotted, but the contents of the box should be intact.

But when Shi Lei dug down according to the marks left back then, he unexpectedly found that the wooden box was missing!

Stuff there!

He saw a monk standing in the hallway, and the monk looked at him, and he looked at the monk.

"Admiral Huang!"

Looking at the somewhat familiar monk in surprise, Shi Lei suddenly grasped the handle of the knife in his hand. This monk is none other than Huang Fu, the admiral of the street house, how did he cut his hair and become a monk?

"Stone donor!"

When he saluted with one hand, Huang Fu lowered his eyebrows and said.

"The name of the poor monk is famous, and the name of the layman has not been used for a long time."

"It's yours!"

Shi Lei's voice was low, and a flash of color flashed in his eyes.

Hongming, who was standing in the corridor, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Lei, and did not answer him, but said to him.

"Donor, please come with me."

Following behind Huang Fu, Shi Lei thought a lot, and he had even made up his mind that if Huang Fu didn't hand over the things, he would use all the things he learned in Jinyiwei on this person, even if he was a monk.

Now, Shi Lei even regrets why he didn't contact the intelligence station of the Beijing division first when he came to Beijing, but fortunately, as long as he sent a signal, the subordinates who entered Beijing with him would rush over.

The two came to the backyard of the temple, and by the cold moonlight, Shi Lei saw a row of tombstones in the backyard, why did he come here? And why are there no words on these tombstones?

Looking at a row of wordless tablets, Shi Lei's eyes were full of doubts.

"This is the tomb of Li Ruolian, the commander of the Fusi Hall in Nanzhen, guarding the Chongwen Gate, and committing suicide and martyrdom after the city was broken!"

Huang Fu's voice was not loud and his tone was low, and he would wipe the dust off the tombstone with his sleeve when introducing the buried owner under the tombstone.

"This is Qianhu Gao Wencai, who committed suicide after killing the whole family with his son...... It's ......"

One after another, familiar or unfamiliar names, came into Shi Lei's ears, he looked at the wordless tablet, and seemed to understand that the people buried here are all colleagues who died in the country.

"This ......"

"Back then, the Beijing division was trapped by thieves, and I don't know how many brothers and colleagues died at the hands of thieves, the reason why a certain survived and stole his life, when the capital is calm, I want to go to the various city gates to collect the corpses for them, they died for the country, someone has to collect the corpses for them."

Huang Fu's tone was still very low and calm, and Shi Lei couldn't see the slightest breath of the Jinyi Guard Admiral on his body, but he looked like an old monk.

"This ......"

Looking at the dozens of tombstones in this courtyard, Shi Lei asked rhetorically.

"Why this?"

Raising his head and looking at Shi Lei, Huang Fu asked rhetorically.

"Why did Shi Baihu choose this place in the first place?"

This......

Huang Fu's question made Shi Lei silent for a while, the reason why he chose this place is because this is - Minzhong Temple.

"Minzhong Temple!"

Nodding, Huang Fu said in a low voice.

"When Tang Taizong Li Shimin commemorated the soldiers who died in the cross-sea expedition, it was specially built here, and the reason why the poor monks chose here was just to ...... Compassion, compassion, I want to come, to be able to return to this place, and to comfort their souls in heaven. ”

Compassion!

Nodding slightly, Shi Lei said with emotion.

"It's very appropriate for thousands of households to arrange it like this!"

It doesn't get any better place than here!

Shi Lei glanced at this temple and thought that those colleagues who were in the end of the country could bury themselves here, and they could also look under the nine springs!

"Back then, when you entered the city, did you want to escort the emperor out of the city?"

Huang Fu stared at Shi Lei and asked, he knew that the Shi Baihu in front of him had been mixed in the camp of thieves, and he naturally entered the city to escort the emperor.

"When I entered the palace, I didn't find the emperor."

Shi Lei nodded.

"If not, I will definitely protect the emperor Zhou Quan!"

Even now, Shi Lei has been thinking about a question many times, if he could enter the palace a few hours earlier, what would be the result?

In any case, it will definitely not be the result of today.

"Shi Baihu has a heart!"

Back then, they were able to descend, die, and escape, and how many people still thought of the emperor in their hearts, and they were worried about the monarch?

When he sighed in his heart, Huang Fu suddenly asked.

"That Shi Baihu, who was the one who brought it out of the city back then?"

That stone hundred households, who was the one who took it out of the city back then!

When these words reached Shi Lei's ears, it only made his heart tremble suddenly, and his face changed abruptly, and he immediately said in a deep voice.

"Huang Qianhu, there's only one problem down there—there's something there!"

Stuff there!

This is the reason why Shi Lei came to the capital, the reason why he left everything and came to the capital was to take things away, and now, since the things are not here, they must have been taken away by Huang Fu in front of him, he will definitely not hand over the things to the Qing Yu, and he will not even give the things to the King of Chu, so where did he hide the things?

Feeling the murderous intent in Shi Lei's eyes, Huang Fu just nodded slightly, and then said.

"Donor, please come with me."

The two of them entered the meditation room, and in the meditation room, under Shi Lei's gaze, Huang Fu buckled a brick from the wall, and then took out a wooden box from the wall.

Looking at the sandalwood box, Shi Lei's heart jumped suddenly, it was this wooden box, this was what he brought from the palace back then.

"Is that him?"

Shi Lei didn't answer, but just stared at the other party and said.

"Have you opened it?"

"Nope!"

"Do you know what's in there?"

Huang Fu naturally knew, because the box had already indicated what was in the box. He also didn't answer, but just looked at Shi Lei and asked.

"Back then...... Have you seen the emperor? ”

The reason why he asked this was because this box was something from the emperor's side.

This...... How to answer!

Faced with this question, Shi Lei was silent for a moment, and then nodded and said.

"See!"

Huang Fu stared at Shi Lei for a while before asking.

"Then, someone went out of the city with you back then!"

As he said this, Huang Fu's breathing became a little rapid, and he wanted to know an answer, an answer he wanted.
