"This!" Cailuan was suddenly unexpected, put down the treasure, and hurriedly stepped forward.

In the twilight, her hands caressed the beautiful stone tablet, although the light was dim, it was still as smooth as a mirror, and it also oozes a round luster, like green jade, and then the inscription engraved on it one by one:

I saw that the head of the stele was written with the big words "Epitaph of Lingwen Fujun of Wan'an County, Mianzhou of the Tang Dynasty";

On the left side of it is an epitaph of less than 100 words, "Gong Xiao, Hongzhou Zhongling people also, Jinshi and the first, Shi Brown is the lieutenant of Yunyang County, Kuizhou, Li Yizheng, drowned in the capital to listen to the winter set, after Jiannan Yuanrong Jingqiu scribe, changed to Mianzhou Wan'an County Order, not in time, died halfway, when the year was the tenth year of the Great Calendar Winter December ......"

The text is very scarce, and the tomb owner does not have any glamorous deeds at all, this is called Wen Xiao, there is no door, although he was admitted to the Jinshi, but because there is no powerful person to cite it, so the first official is only a county lieutenant in the remote Kuizhou area, about two or three years later, depressed, after the expiration of the term, he can only go to the officials of Chang'an City to participate in the election, that is, "listen to the winter set", but it is not smooth, he "drowned" for a long time in the prosperous capital, about poverty, Later, thanks to the Jiannan Jiedu envoy at that time, he was recruited as the low-level governor of the shogunate, and the county magistrate of Wan'an County, even though Wan'an County was only a middle county, he was still excited and ready to leave, and then rushed from Chang'an to the distant Xichuan to fight for his eunuch journey......

"But you didn't wait for that day, you contracted the wind cold in a rented house on the outskirts of Beijing and died!" At this moment, Wu Cailuan burst into tears, her hand kept touching the words on the stele, and there were not even a hundred words, which included the life of her most beloved husband.

This Han Shi named Wen Xiao held Wu Cailuan's hand before he died, "At that time, under the moon in Zhongling, I watched you dance, and you can be worthy of three lives, and there will be no regrets in this life." Then he struggled to say to Cailuan, who was also crying at that time, "After I die, I just hope that the coffin can be moved back to the mountains of Zhongling, and be accompanied by the bright moon for eternity." ”

In the end, he slowly wiped away Cailuan's tears with his hands, "Don't cry, if people have an afterlife as the Buddhist scriptures say, in this life, you work hard to copy small block characters to raise money for me to catch the exam, and I should repay your ...... in the next life."

In the wind by the Han River, Wu Cailuan held on to this stone tablet, knelt on the ground, and wept until he couldn't help himself.

Because although this inscription is only less than 100 words, the inscription is Xiao Xin, the secretary of the Tang Dynasty, and the transcription is Yan Zhenqing, the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Xin's article.

Yan Zhenqing's words.

How many high-ranking officials and nobles on the four grades have used thousands of moisturizing pens to beg Xiao Xin to write epitaphs and Yan Zhenqing to write Shinto inscriptions, but they can't get them at all, let alone a combination of the two?

After the death of her husband, Cailuan Ashi has been staying in the Beijing Division, copying scriptures for the Buddhist temple day and night, on the one hand, it is to use this to exceed, on the other hand, it is to save money, hoping to make a good epitaph for Wen Xiao - Wen Xiao has been depressed all his life, and Ashi's wish is actually very simple, so that he can be glorified after his death, and can be remembered by future generations, and he will have no regrets. But how difficult it is to get a character to write an epitaph for herself in the Beijing Division, some officials and ministers open their mouths at a price of 500 or even 1,000 yuan, and she, a female streamer, accumulates some money and doesn't know how much hardship she has suffered, and the purpose of those epitaph rubbings she collects is this. "This is the wish of Wu Cailuan that Gao Yue learned from Xue Yaoying's mouth in Fengtian City.

But now Gao Yue fulfilled her wish, "Master, I said a long time ago, I will repay you." ”

You must know that whether it is Xiao Xin or Yan Zhenqing, it is difficult for even one of them to write an epitaph for a small county order like Wen Xiao, who has no name and only has a few official politics.

It's all for Gao Yue's sake, Xiao Xin wrote the article, Yan Zhenqing transcribed it, and then Gao Yue asked the best stonemason in the Xuanrun realm to carve it with the best stone, so it took so long.

"Yisong, how do you know these things?" Wu Cailuan asked with tears in her eyes.

"It was Master Xue who first told me what happened in Zhongling, and then I inquired everywhere."

At this moment, Wu Cailuan suppressed his choked throat, bit his lip and looked at the sunset between the river and the mountains, and then smiled at Gao Yue: "I don't have any vulgar thoughts in this life, now I should leave Xingyuan Mansion and send the tombstone back to Zhongling, Wen Xiao's tomb is over there - Yisong, and then I will enter the mountains of Jiangnan West Road to concentrate on cultivating and don't ask about miscellaneous things." ”

"Well, immediately when the tide letter of the river comes (the northeast wind blows), I will let a boat carry Ah Shihe and the tombstone along the Han River into the river, and then into the Jiangnan West Road." Gao Yue said.

At this time, Bao Bao whined, rubbing against the corner of Wu Cailuan's clothes, as if she also felt that she was about to leave, and she was very reluctant, this cry represented retention.

As a result, the next day, Gao Yue had just finished his rest and returned to the military mansion to sit in the government.

A group of businessmen and military academies were crying and standing in front of the government office.

Gao Yue was surprised and asked what was going on.

Liu Deshu and Wei Ping's faces were pale, and they stepped forward and said: "The big thing is not good, the four river boats that I went to Xuanshu from Xingyuan Mansion were robbed just after passing Ezhou and entering the border of Qizhou!" ”

When Gao Yue heard this, his heart sank suddenly, "People, how are people?" ”

At this time, Liu Demuro was the softest-hearted, he pointed to the group of merchants who were kneeling on the ground and crying, and said to Gao Yue: "On the four ships, more than 160 crossbowmen, boatmen, colonels, as well as merchants and their families, were all killed, and all the salt, paper umbrellas, medicinal materials, etc., worth tens of thousands of yuan, were also robbed. ”

"Killed? Kill! Gao Yue's eyes immediately darkened, and then his hair stood up in anger, he asked before, and then roared angrily.

At this time, in the entire military palace hall, the crying was even more poignant.

Not to mention the adults, even the women and underage babies on the boat, who were originally going to Jiangdong to visit relatives, were all killed by the cruel river robbers - Wei Ping also told Gao Yue bitterly that the river robbers not only killed all the people, but also tied up their bodies and threw them into the river, and the baby's hearts were dug out alive, saying that this was a sacrifice to the river god.

"Bastard! Wild! At this time, Gao Yue was furious, his dark eyebrows were almost entangled, and he slapped the book case fiercely, almost shocking it, "The fleet passed from Ezhou to Qihuang, and then from Shuzhou to Xuanzhou, and was robbed and killed in the middle, who else do you say the murderer can be?" ”

"Please Da Yin go to the court, ask the soldiers to exterminate the robbers, and avenge the victims!" Many merchants and military academies in Xingyuan Mansion bowed their heads and pleaded.

Because the people who were killed were all their relatives and friends.

Gao Yue's teeth creaked - this robber of the river, there is no doubt that it should all be outlaws who came out of the three states of Huaixi, Shenguang and Cai, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, actually did such a heart-wrenching evil deed on the river.
