Chapter 14 Expensive
Gao Ligong met a big mountain in a daze, this mountain is not as low as Hengshan, but extremely majestic, the mountain road is extremely steep, there is only a zigzag mountain road faintly in the grass, but it is as dangerous as the legendary Huashan.
He used his hands and feet together, lowered his head and climbed up the mountain road, because the mountain road was steep, he didn't feel sweaty, sweat blocked his eyes, he had to stop to wipe his sweat, but also to rest for a while, to see how far away from the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain, lush and clear, smoky, high pavilion canopy, countless halls and buildings, the end is a fairyland on earth, Gao Ligong suddenly found that in the middle of the mountain not far above his head, a person is wearing a yellow robe and jade belt, the head is covered with five-colored auspicious clouds, there is a giant dragon hovering faintly in the clouds, seeing the head but not the tail.
Gao Ligong was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly crawled on the ground, "Cao Min, Gao Ligong, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Gao Ligong, you also have today? When I fell into your hands, why didn't you help? The sound was not hurried, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the ear drums were almost shattered.
Gao Ligong was drenched in cold sweat, and when he heard the meaning of his words, there was a faint sense of blame, "Your Majesty, the villain has never seen Your Majesty, how can you help?" ”
"Gao Ligong, you raise your head!" The voice was not high, but it was like a sword qi, which went straight to the heart, making Gao Ligong's body as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea.
Gao Ligong looked up and saw that he was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
"Gao Ligong, don't you recognize me?"
"Are you...... You are Hongji, no, your majesty! Gao Ligong's sweat was raining, and he couldn't explain why he was so nervous.
Li Hongji, who was wearing a yellow robe, no longer spoke, but just waved his hand, the green pine auspicious clouds, and the canopy buildings were all disappeared in an instant, and even the mountains were hidden, and Li Hongji flew farther and farther away like a bird, and only a small black dot was left in an instant.
Gao Ligong fell down from the middle of the mountain, his body was weightless, and he shouted in fright: "Ah......hh
With his head tilted, Gao Ligong opened his eyes, "So you were dreaming?" But the dream was so clear that it was really strange, and he reached out and touched it, and his forehead was covered with sweat, "Is it true?" ”
Gao Ligong stabilized his senses, took out another square towel, wiped the sweat stains on his face, and then stood up, shook his wrinkled clothes, held a lamp and candle in one hand, and carried wine and food in the other, and came to Li Hongji's cell.
Li Hongji had already fallen asleep, and when he saw the lamp and candle coming, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, "Who?" Didn't you already have dinner delivered? ”
"Hongji, it's me!" Gao Ligong stopped in front of Li Hongji, put down the lamp and candle, and took out the roast duck and water wine, "Hongji, how is it?" Can you sit up? ”
"Is it meritorious?" Li Hongji rolled on the ground twice and came to the prison door, "I just said, meritorious service will definitely come to see me, how about it?" What to bring? ”
It seems that if he didn't come to visit Li Hongji, he would definitely blame him, is the dream real? Gao Ligong sat on the ground, opened the roast duck wrapped in lotus leaves, put it on his lap and took out two porcelain cups and two pairs of bamboo chopsticks from his arms, and handed a pair of bamboo chopsticks to Li Hongji through the iron fence on the prison door, and then patted the sealing mud of the wine jar and filled the two cups, "Hongji, I'm late, let my brother suffer here!" ”
Li Hongji didn't smell the aroma of wine for a long time, especially the roast duck wrapped in dried lotus leaves, which made him drool, "Meritorious, really a good brother," he took the wine glass with one hand and dried it in one gulp, "Well, this wine is good, it tastes good!" Without waiting for Gao Ligong to speak, he directly tore off a piece of duck leg with his hand and threw it into his mouth.
Gao Ligong accompanied him to drink a glass, and he didn't eat food, but just filled the two with wine.
Li Hongji drank half a jar of wine and ate half a roast duck, and his mouth was idle for a while, "Meritorious, what can I do with this case?" I'm not going to spend a new dollar here, am I? ”
"Don't worry, I'm trying to figure out a way." Gao Ligong remembered the dream just now, stared at Li Hongji's face tightly, and said secretly in his heart: Is such a person really an emperor? It is said that dreams are reversed, will Li Hongji become a thief?
However, Shaanxi has been in drought for several years, and it is not new to become a thief, his uncle Gao Yingxiang has turned out of Ansai because he can't eat, and he is active in Yanqing Mansion. Is Da Ming really exhausted?
"Meritorious, what are you staring at my face? I was just spanked by Yan Zibin, and my face doesn't seem to be deformed, right? Li Hongji raised his hand and toasted again.
Gao Ligong smiled slightly, didn't say anything, first filled Li Hongji's wine glass, and then asked, "Does Hongji need anything?" It's not as comfortable as at home in this prison. ”
"Well, isn't that all in prison?" Li Hongji thought for a while, "It's just that the straw in the cell is too wet, and it's too cold to sleep on it, can you change some hay?" ”
"This is easy to do, you wait!" Gao Ligong handed the wine jar to Li Hongji, told him to take care of himself, got up by himself, moved the hay from the empty cell next door into Li Hongji's cell, took out a broom, and swept away the scattered blades of grass on the ground.
Li Hongji saw that the wine jar was empty, and the roast duck on the lotus leaf was also eaten, he put down the wine jar, lay down on the hay, and finally could sleep a little, but the range of movement was too large, pulling the wound on the buttocks, and he screamed unconsciously, "Oops! ”
"Hongji, does the wound still hurt?" Gao Ligong took out a paper bag from his arms, "Look at me, I obviously brought gold sore medicine, no, when I saw Hongji, I forgot for a while, come, I'll give you medicine!" ”
"Golden sore medicine? That's a good dare," Li Hongji climbed over from the hay and took the paper bag, "I can go on it myself, the sore is on the buttocks, and I won't work brother." ”
Gao Ligong accompanied Li Hongji to talk for most of the night, and only after the second half of the night did he take a nap in the chair, and after the shift change at dawn, he did not immediately return to his snail's house, but simply ate steamed buns and spicy paste soup on the street, and then came to the west of the city.
There are several fortune tellers in Mizhi City, but the most famous is this stall in the west of the city, the stall owner is said to be surnamed Niu, and is known as "Niu Banxian".
In the past, business here was good, but today Gao Ligong rushed early in the morning, and the weather had turned cold, and the stall was deserted, Gao Ligong asked Niu Banxian for a pen and paper, and wrote down a birthday eight characters, "Niu Banxian, help me calculate this person!" ”
Niu Banxian glanced at Gao Ligong slightly, and then looked at the eight characters of his birthday, "What is it?" ”
"Count the future!"
Niu Banxian narrowed his eyes, first raised his left hand, and used the belly of his thumb to tap the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger in turn, and then replaced it with his right hand, which was also the same big action, but the finger belly of the thumb finally stopped on the ring finger, and casually chanted a song of seven laws: a lifetime of Rong Ma and the North of the same country, half a world of heroes and half heroes; When Hu Lu breaks the pass, the mirror is empty. Oh, alas, alas!
"Niu Banxian ......" Gao Li's function heard a rough idea, although he had half a world of fame, but in the end he fell short, but what "Hu Lu broke through" means, I don't know much for a while.
Niu Banxian's left thumb moved slightly, and finally stopped on his middle finger, and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch, "Huh? How? He raised his eyes and stared at Gao Ligong's face tightly, looked at it for a while, and shook his head in disappointment, "This birthday is not yours!" ”
"It's really not mine, it's a friend of mine, Niu Banxian, what's wrong?"
"This hexagram is very weird, weird, weird!" Niu Banxian frowned, as if he was talking to Gao Ligong, and as if he was talking to himself, "Why is it so weird?" ”
"Niu Banxian, how weird is it?"
"The four sentences just now are the fate of this person's life, but the hexagram shows that this person's life is unspeakably precious, what is it that changes his fortune, and it is difficult for the old man to decide for a while," Niu Banxian opened the bow left and right, his hands were moving slightly, and there were words in his mouth, but in the end, he shook his head, and it seemed that he was still not sure of the reason for the change in fortune, "Guest officer, you bring the person, the old man wants to see the face of this person!" ”
Gao Ligong was shocked in his heart, but his face did not change color, he shook his head slightly, "You can't see this person now!" ”
Niu Banxian put down his fingers and stopped calculating, "That's it, the old man won't accept your hexagram money, you tell the old man, who is this person's surname!" ”
"Li Hongji!"
At this time, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, Gao Ligong turned around and left the stall, Niu Banxian said anything, he didn't hear it at all, he remembered last night's dream again, "Is it ......?"
The person on duty at night went back during the day to catch up on sleep, but Gao Ligong couldn't sleep at all now, he immediately found Li Guo, and the two of them summed it up, and then broke up and went back.
At this time, in the prison cell of the county government, the master of the criminal people personally went to visit the prison, and he visited the person he least wanted to see - Li Hongji.
Li Hongji had seen this person in the lobby, and his words made Li Hongji scold, and now when he saw this person, Li Hongji only saw the flies in the thatched house, lying sideways on the hay motionless.
"Hongji, how's it going? Are you still used to it in prison? The master squinted, bowed slightly, and showed concern through the iron fence.
"Habit?" Li Hongji scolded him, "If the master feels comfortable in the prison, he might as well accompany the villain to spend a few days in this prison, although the villain is poor, he can still afford a few drinks." ”
"Hongji said with a smile, the prison of this county government is set up by the magistrate and various masters, why should I stay in the prison?" The master smiled slightly, although he tried his best to hide it, as long as he listened attentively, he could still feel the coldness in his smile, "Hongji is going to sit through the prison?" ”
Li Hongji said coldly: "Master came today, is he going to let me out?" ”
"Get out?" The master shook his head, squatted down outside the iron fence, and lowered his body, "Hongji has also dealt with the yamen, and now that Lord Yan has not made a judgment, how can he get out?" ”
"If the villain guessed correctly, the master should be here to remind the villain how to make the banquet master make a judgment early."
"Hongji is really a smart person," a smile rippled on the master's face, and with the faint light, Li Hongji saw that the wrinkles on the master's face became brighter, "Actually, the last time I passed the hall, Lord Yan had already made it clear!" ”
"The villain is just a martial artist, he has always been dull, please make it clear again!"
The master's brows furrowed, the wrinkles on his face deepened, and he said carefully: "It took me a lot of effort to convince Master Ai that as long as you obey Master Ai, the silver will not have to be returned," Seeing that Li Hongji was not furious, the master felt that there was a play, "A good man has ambitions in all directions, as long as he is out of prison, with a talent like Hongji, it is not a fish returning to the sea and a wolf walking on the grassland?" Don't talk about silver, even your mother-in-law can remarry, and she is also a daughter of a good family, unlike Han Jin'er......"
"Master," Li Hongji didn't say much, but he interrupted the master's speech, "I heard that the master's family has two daughters, and they are in the boudoir, since the master can see the upper and lower, then choose one to marry the villain?" Of course, if the master loves the villain and marries both daughters, the villain will be even more grateful......"
"You ......" the old master's face turned red, and he suddenly stood up from the ground, "Li Hongji, you don't want to toast and eat and drink, if you don't listen to this master, you will wait to spend the rest of your life in prison!" ”
Li Hongji wanted to scold and relieve his anger, but his body was weak and weak, so he had to wave his hand and said weakly: "Get out, get out, if you want to scold Na Ai Zhao, just let your mother-in-law and daughter serve him!" ”
The master tore off the disguise on his face and put on a hideous face, "Li Hongji, you have been in prison, I don't believe where Han Jin'er can escape, don't worry, this master will return her belly pocket to you, let you know that she is living better than now, ha, ha, ha......"
