Chapter 272: Entering the palace to file a complaint

Staying up until the early hours of the morning, the three of them were sleepy, and Na Zhe was already better, and the burn was not so bad.

Qi Jiuniang and Qin Wanlan wiped his body with spirits every once in a while to cool him down.

At this time, Cao Deshun came in, he looked at Na Zhe who was in a coma, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Cui Xian, how is he doing now?" ”

Cui Daoshu whispered: "Master Taiqin has diagnosed him and said that there should be no danger, I think he has improved and his fever has subsided a little." ”

Cao Deshun breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, Buddha bless, I hope that virtuous brother can get better soon." ”

Qi Jiuniang asked, "Master Cao, what are you and Fu Yin busy with?" I hear your voice is hoarse. ”

Cao Deshun said with a wry smile: "Jiuniang, I won't tell you, Zhou Chengxian has been urging the servants to inspect the corpse all night, and let the officials collect all kinds of evidence left on the battlefield. I accompanied Zhou Fuyin to keep an eye on them to work, because I talked too much and didn't drink water, my voice became hoarse. ”

Qin Wanlan hurriedly poured a cup of tea and sent it to Cao Deshun.

"Master Cao, take a sip of tea and moisten your throat."

Cao Deshun took the teacup and drank it dry in one go.

"Brother Cui Xian, I will accompany Zhou Fu Yin into the city early tomorrow morning, and then he will enter the palace to report to the queen, we must rush in front of the Pucheng Zhang clan and find the emperor to complain first."

Cui Daoshu nodded and said, "Brother Cao, just now Master Taiqin said that he was going to enter the palace to meet Li Yu, truthfully report this matter, and say some good things for us." Take him into the city tomorrow, and then send Master Taichen to the gate of the palace. ”

Cao Deshun was very happy: "It's really good that Master Taiqin can come forward. Today, the lord of the country believes in the Buddha, and he often comes to Qingliang Temple to worship the Buddha, and has a very close relationship with Master Taiqin. If Tai Chin can defend us, the lord will believe him. It's so good for us. ”

Cui Daoshu said to Cao Deshun: "Brother, go sleep for a while, otherwise you will definitely have no energy tomorrow." I estimate that something will definitely happen in Jinling City tomorrow, and you won't have the energy to deal with it then. ”

Cao Deshun really couldn't stay up, so he went out to find a place to rest.

Cui Daoshu said to Qin Wanlan and Qi Jiuniang again: "You guys are busy in the middle of the night, go and rest, I'll keep an eye here." ”

Qin Wanlan and Qi Jiuniang didn't want to leave, and both persuaded Cui Daoshu to rest for a while.

Cui Daoshu had no choice but to put on the prestige of the head of the family, forcibly ordered Qi Jiuniang to go to sleep, and asked her to take Qin Wanlan away.

Qi Jiuniang pouted, and reluctantly pulled Qin Wanlan away. Cui Daoshu sat down next to the low couch, looked at Na Zhe, who was pale, and said to himself:

"Third brother, you must not have anything, otherwise when I return to Qishan Island, how can I explain it to my brothers."

------------------ ------------------- -------------------

At dawn, Qi Jiuniang and Qin Wanlan walked in lightly and saw Cui Daoshu lying next to Na Zhe asleep.

Qi Jiuniang wanted to wake up Cui Daoshu, but Qin Wanlan hurriedly grabbed her, and then found a coat and covered Cui Daoshu on his body.

Qin Wanlan pulled Qi Jiuniang out of the house, and then whispered: "Sister, let's go to the kitchen and make some porridge for them, everyone didn't eat anything last night, they must be hungry." ”

Qi Jiuniang felt a little embarrassed, she laughed a few times, and then said: "Sister, I won't tell you, sister, I don't know how to cook at all." It's better for you to do it, I'll learn from the side. ”

Qin Wanlan smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll cook porridge, and my sister will talk to me." ”

The two of them walked towards the kitchen, and on the way they saw many guards carefully guarding the various passages of the temple.

Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and they must have not slept all night.

The two found the kitchen of the temple, and after some busyness, they finally cooked a pot of green vegetable porridge.

Qin Wanlan found a clay pot, poured some porridge into it, and walked back with Qi Jiuniang with the porridge.

Back outside the meditation room, the two saw Cui Daoshu standing at the door, talking with Cao Deshun and a middle-aged man in a red official uniform.

Qin Wanlan whispered: "Sister, I have met this person once, he is Yin Zhou Chengxian of Jinling Mansion, and he is the brother of the queen's mother. ”

Qi Jiuniang felt that this Zhou Chengxian was also very familiar, as if he had seen it before, but he didn't know where he had met.

At this time, the monk Taiqin also arrived, several people greeted each other, and then after a conversation, Cao Deshun left with Zhou Chengxian and Taiqin.

Qi Jiuniang walked up to Cui Daoshu, "Childe, when did you wake up?" So what's going on? ”

Cui Daoshu saw that Qin Wanlan was carrying a clay pot in her hand, which was already exuding the fragrance of rice porridge, so he said with a smile: "Na Zhe has a fever now, and it is estimated that he will wake up soon." Qin Niangzi, I smelled the fragrance of vegetable porridge and felt very hungry, can I drink a little? ”

Qin Wanlan saw that he was pitiful, so she nodded: "Son, please come into the house, the slave family will serve you a bowl." ”

------------------ ------------------- ---------------

At the same time, word had spread in Jinling City, and Zhang Yuanheng, the son of Prime Minister Zhang Renyao, was jealous because of the competition, so he went to his uncle, Zhang Renjian, the current commander of the Yaowu Army and the mighty general, to cry.

Let Zhang Renjian send the soldiers of the Yaowu Army to disguise themselves as bandits to intercept and kill the love enemy, who is now famous in Jinling City.

However, the soldiers of the Yaowu Army were so bad that more than a thousand people went to intercept and kill Na Zhe and his entourage, but they were defeated by dozens of people. And quite a few soldiers died, about a thousand.

But Na Zhe was hit by a dark arrow, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and it is very likely that he is dead.

The people in Jinling City are standing in the streets and alleys, discussing this shocking case. Many women burst into tears when they heard the news that Zhe's life and death were uncertain.

At this time, a large group of people entered Jinling from the west gate, and then marched towards the palace.

Most of these people were the officials who went to investigate the scene with Zhou Chengxian. There are also some Cao Deshun's family members and guards.

Zhou Chengxian, Taiqin and Cao Deshun sat in a carriage and discussed all the way, that is, to make a good statement, and then deal with Li Yu's inquiry.

Today is the seventh day of the eighth month, not the day of the great court meeting, so the civil and military officials do not need to go to the court, and there are few carriages and horses in front of the palace, and there are not many officials coming and going.

When the convoy arrived a few hundred meters away from the palace gate, it was stopped by a group of palace guards.

"Who are you, get out of the car immediately and be questioned."

Zhou Chengxian was the first to get out of the car, and the leader of the palace guards on duty knew Jinling Mansion Yin, so he hurriedly came over to give a salute, and then asked with a smile:

"Zhou Fuyin, are you going to enter the palace?"

Zhou Chengxian nodded, and said with a little reserve: "This official wants to meet the queen's mother, and if there is something important to report, you can send someone to report it." ”

At this time, Taiqin and Cao Deshun also came down.

The leader looked at Taiqin, a sloppy monk, and Cao Deshun, who was dressed in cloth, and felt a little strange.

"Zhou Fuyin, who are these two? Are they going to enter the palace too? ”

"This master is Master Taiqin, a senior monk of Qingliang Temple in the west of the city, and the other is Cao Deshun, a wealthy businessman. They have something very important to report to Your Majesty, and you should send someone to inform Your Majesty immediately. We entered the palace for the same big case, and this case is not trivial, and it is related to the stability of the court situation. If you delay time, no matter whose child you are, you won't be able to keep your head. Don't go yet! ”

Seeing Zhou Cheng's vigorous appearance, the little leader couldn't help but shrink his neck, and immediately ran towards the gate of the palace, running faster than a rabbit.

Zhou Cheng obviously saw that the palace guards around him were a little cowering, and he couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart.

The three of them waited for about twenty minutes, and the little leader hurried back.

He panted and said, "Zhou Fuyin, you can go in, Guo Neishou is waiting inside the gate, he will take you into the palace." ”

Zhou Chengxian nodded, and walked to the palace gate first, and Taiqin and Cao Deshun hurriedly followed.

After crossing the stone bridge, the three entered the gate of the palace. Walking through the deep city gate hole, the three of them saw several eunuchs standing there.

Headed by Li Yu's close attendant Guo Kai, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Zhou Fuyin, Master Taiqin, Mr. Cao, it's very strange today, how did the three of you get together?" And say for the same case? What kind of case is it? ”

Zhou Chengxian pulled Guo Kai aside, and then whispered: "You may not know that yesterday near Qingliang Temple, an amazing incident occurred. There are nearly 500 bandits who intercepted and killed Na Zhe and Cui Daoshu who went to Qingliang Temple to play, do you know both of them? ”

"Ahh Guo Kai exclaimed, "There is such a thing!" What happened to Zhe and Cui Daoshu? ”

"Cui Daoshu is fine, Na Zhe was seriously injured, and he is not out of danger yet."

"Who has the audacity? Dare to do such a shocking case? ”

Zhou Chengxian shook his head and said, "Guo Neishi, don't ask yet, when Master Taiqin reports to His Majesty, you will understand." I'm going to report to the queen, this is related to the safety of the Zhou family, and it must not be ignored. You just let the official go. ”

Guo Neishou nodded: "Zhou Fuyin, I understand, you go quickly, I will take them to meet Your Majesty immediately." ”

At this time, a young eunuch hurriedly walked over, leaned on Guo Kai's ear, and said a few words.

After Guo Kai heard this, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, Your Majesty just went to the queen's mother, you don't have to separate, go together." ”

The three of them looked at each other, so they had to follow a few eunuchs and walk towards the Rouyi Hall where the queen lived.

When they arrived at the gate of the Rouyi Palace, the majestic General Jian Xin came over and greeted everyone.

He said happily: "It's very strange today, a few people usually don't have any contacts, why did they come together to meet Your Majesty?" ”

Guo Neishou explained: "General Temporary, they came to report to Your Majesty for a big case, you should search and check quickly, don't let Your Majesty and the Queen Mother wait in a hurry." ”
