The third part of the dark war 73, the Double Ninth Day
Looking forward to the west wind and holding sullen thoughts, when the red reeds and white intestines are broken, there is no trace of the empty hedge in the old garden, and the thin moon is clear and frosty
In a blink of an eye, it was the Double Ninth Festival, the concubine Niangniang was dressed in a plain dress, accompanied by a group of palace maids, and was watching the chrysanthemums blooming in the palace, red like fire, yellow Saijin, pink as Xia, white as snow, the palace maids tried their best to please the concubine Niang Chitose, although the Niang Niang Chitose forced a happy face, there was a faint sorrow between the eyebrows......
Who pities me for the yellow flower and is thin, and the consolation Chongyang will have a period......
Since the sudden appearance of Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, breaking the normal life of this concubine, at this moment, Ma Gongzi, who is regarded as a confidant, suddenly disappeared mysteriously, and Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, the two godsisters, although they can be regarded as their backers, but they can't go to the palace to accompany them all day long, and their hearts are like lost souls.
A few days ago, Concubine Zheng Niangniang learned that the patrol yamen was secretly investigating the parents' cemetery outside Shuri City, so she quickly sent someone to find Guo Yi and Xu Linger to discuss countermeasures, and made an appointment several times, but the two of them did not enter the palace, it is said that they have gone to Japan, and they are very disappointed.
On the Double Ninth Day, it was the time to worship the ancestors all over the dogwood, not only could the concubine not go to the parents' mausoleum to pick up a handful of soil and stick incense, but I heard that the bastard Wang Qi took someone to dig the grave and dig the grave, this cemetery is a piece of feng shui treasure land that the prince asked the immortal master to choose from, and he was afraid that Wang Qi would break his own feng shui, and he was angry and anxious, but there was no one available around him......
As soon as she thought of this, Concubine Zheng's heart was like a knife, how could she still have the heart to appreciate the chrysanthemum, and decided to leave the palace immediately to see if they could stop this hateful Wang Qi.
Concubine Niangniang made up her mind, so she took two palace maids to Queen Ma's bedroom to ask for peace, and by the way, she gave the queen a leave of absence, and wanted to take a walk outside the city.
Queen Ma didn't have a good impression of this daughter-in-law, only because she didn't dare to offend the princess who was rumored to have a background in Dongchang, and for the sake of the face of Zheng Zhen in Changshi, she accepted the adopted daughter of Zheng Zhen in Changshi and named her the concubine of King Shangyong, who coveted the beauty of this young lady of the Xu family and added to her favor......
After Zheng Zhen's adopted daughter entered the palace, what made Queen Ma very strange was that she never said a good word for Zheng Zhen, but secretly supported Zheng Zhen's political opponent and her younger brother Ma Liangbi, and said that the court asked Ma Liangbi to be the minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which she forced the princess to do.
Queen Ma thought that this was her cowardice of her mother's majesty, and after observing herself for a while, she felt that this concubine was spoiled and coquettish, and she had nothing to do with the princess to be imprisoned, to her surprise, the princess seemed to be very afraid of this concubine, and she was forced to hang herself and did not say that she was bad.
After the death of the princess, Queen Ma heard some legends about this daughter-in-law, she seemed to have a relationship with the son of Ma Liangbi when she was a child, until she entered the palace, she was still secretly communicating with her nephew, which made Queen Ma have an opinion on this daughter-in-law.
Of course, for such a reason, it is not surprising that Queen Ma is not surprised that she supports her younger brother Ma Liangbi, because she already has a knot in her heart, she began to be extremely disgusted with her wayward behavior, and secretly used means to alienate her son King Shang Yong.
Since King Yong ascended the throne, he has gradually indulged in wine, and he has lost his enthusiasm for this fairy-like concubine Niangniang, and has rarely stayed in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, which also makes the relationship between the concubine Niangniang and Queen Ma become tense......
Queen Ma has long wanted to find fault, originally thought that she was just willful, and had not doubted her identity, until recently, Ma Liangbi entered the palace and hinted several times, which made Queen Ma more and more interested in her true origin......
Although Zheng Zhen is nominally a national ruler, he has never received any benefits from being the adopted daughter of the concubine, and he has always been at a disadvantage in the battle with Ma Liangbi, but Zheng Zhen is a righteous gentleman, and he has never resented this adopted daughter, and he is not willing to cause trouble for her.
Therefore, when Queen Ma also secretly sent someone to find Zheng Zhen to inquire about the origin of his adopted daughter, Zheng Zhen followed what the prince gave him, to tell the truth, his adopted daughter was the daughter of a businessman friend in the early years of the prince, and he didn't know who that businessman friend was.
Ma Liangbi had already revealed the news to his sister that the two coffins brought back from overseas by the horse shoes and the saddle were most likely the parents of the concubine, and he was going to send someone to dig the grave on the day of the Double Ninth Festival to see who it was.
As soon as Queen Ma saw her daughter-in-law's depressed and sad expression, and heard that she wanted to go out of the city, she guessed that she was trying to stop Wang Qi and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and agreed to her request.
Under the protection of the palace guards, the concubine Niangniang left the palace in a small way.
Concubine Niangniang was anxious, afraid that the reckless Wang Qi would really dig up the tomb of her parents, spoil her own feng shui, and ruin her good luck, so she ordered the sedan chair driver to rush to the cemetery outside the city......
When I arrived at the cemetery, Ma Shao, Ma Saddle Brothers and Luo Aping, each with a group of people, were holding a grand memorial activity, and Ma Ma and Ma Ma were crying and wailing in front of the cemetery like their own father......
Not far away, Wang Qi surrounded the cemetery with a group of officers and soldiers, and just waited for their ceremony to be completed, and then began to dig the grave......
The six guards who followed the concubine were all Queen Ma's henchmen, watching the concubine's every move with a cold eye, and if she dared to stop Wang Qi, she would immediately take her back to the palace and hand her over to Queen Ma for disposal.
The memorial ceremony of the Ma brothers, Luo Aping and others had not yet ended, and several secret agents secretly sent by Ma Liangbi also arrived, and they were all waiting for Wang Qi to open the tomb and pry open the coffin.
The memorial service lasted until the afternoon, and finally ended, but the Ma brothers, Luo Aping and others chatted in front of the cemetery, and they didn't want to leave......
The secret agent sent by Ma Liangbi observed for a long time, and saw that Wang Qi and others were indifferent to these people who came to pay tribute, as if they were waiting for them to leave, and then digging the grave, and at this time, the concubine Niangniang and the palace guards also arrived, and the secret agent hurriedly went back to inform Ma Liangbi and asked him to come over for an autopsy to identify the identity of the person in the tomb.
Since he won the seal of the pioneer official in the martial arts competition, Zhang Fan has been accompanying Ma Liangbi every day these days.
For Ma Liangbi, promoting Zhang Fan is a matter of no choice, and he can't refuse, so he can only rely on more entrapment of this child to buy people's hearts, through the observation of these days, Zhang Fan's performance made Ma Liangbi feel a lot more relieved, and felt that Zhang Fan was much more sensible than his own son, and he was quite satisfied with this righteous son.
Ma Liangbi heard that Concubine Niangniang had disguised herself to the cemetery, and Wang Qi and others were still delayed digging the grave, so she was a little anxious, so she asked her son Zhang Fan to bring a large group of soldiers, and she wanted to personally go out to supervise and open the coffin for an autopsy.
Since he decided to have a showdown with Concubine Zheng, Ma Liangbi had no scruples, and after taking Zhang Fan and others to the cemetery, he first scolded the horse shoes and the saddle brothers, and asked Zhang Fan to send soldiers to control all the people who came to pay tribute, and then commanded Wang Qi and others to dig the grave......
Concubine Niangniang sat in the sedan chair and shed tears, seeing that Wang Qi and the others were about to do it, but she didn't have the courage to get off the sedan chair to stop it, she secretly scolded Ma Liangbi in her heart, and complained about Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er......
According to Ma Liangbi's judgment, the person in the tomb should not be a good person, since the concubine Niangniang and the horse horse and the saddle brothers are here, it means that they all know who the person in the tomb is, just open the coffin, according to the burial things, you can confirm whether it is a pirate or not, once confirmed, you will take down all these people, even if it will not be confirmed for a while, find a reason to torture them to extract confessions, and soon be able to investigate and understand.
Sneered at Concubine Zheng's sedan chair, Ma Liangbi knew that those guards were sent by her sister, even if she wanted to leave now, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave!
Seeing that Wang Qi and the others were still struggling and still didn't do anything, Ma Liangbi was anxious and said angrily: "Didn't your boss give you an explanation?" Hurry up and start digging graves, what are you waiting for! ”
Wang Qi bowed and replied, "Lord Shurisho did not let the lowly position dig the grave and dig the grave, please forgive me!" ”
Ma Liangbi glared at him, couldn't believe it, and asked, "What did you say?" Shurishodai didn't let you dig a grave? ”
"It is true that the lowly positions were not allowed to dig graves." Wang Qi replied seriously.
"And what did he put you here?" Ma Liangbi couldn't believe his ears, seeing that Wang Qi and the others had no intention of making a move, he shouted loudly at Zhang Fan: "Fan'er, order your subordinates to do it quickly, dig up this grave for me, open the coffin, and see who is inside!" ”
The concubine was sitting in the sedan chair and was about to cry and fainted, her heart was full of guilt for the princess, if the princess and his old man were still alive, not only Queen Ma would not dare to underestimate herself, but Ma Liangbi would not be able to get the position of Xiangguo, how could there be today's humiliation!
The prince endured the humiliation and entrusted the person to raise him as an adult, and sent himself to the palace, and tried his best to transport his parents' coffins from overseas, thinking that if he got rid of the prince, no one would know his true identity again, but he didn't expect that Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were also insiders......
Thinking of Guo and Xu, Concubine Zheng's heart was even more resentful, seeing that the group of soldiers brought by Ma Liangbi was about to make a move, she really wanted to rush out of the sedan chair to stop them......
At this moment, three cannons rang out in the distance, and then two horses came running from a distance, shouting at Wang Qi and others who were about to dig the grave: "Slow! Daming Jinyi Wei Yamen North Town Fusi Qianhu Guo Yi came to pay tribute to the old friend. ”
Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er went to the tomb and kicked off the saddle and got off the horse, and they didn't pay attention to Ma Liangbi and Zhang Fan, and placed the sacrificial things they brought in front of the tomb.
Although Ma Liangbi knew that President Konishi had attempted to assassinate Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, he heard from his son Zhang Fan that the two of them had returned to Japan with President Konishi, and they never expected that at this juncture, the two of them suddenly fell from the sky, saying that they were going to pay tribute to their old friends, and they were stunned for a moment, staring at Zhang Fan with their eyes.
Zhang Fan hurriedly ordered his soldiers to stop, ignored Ma Liangbi, and stood on Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er's side.
The situation changed suddenly, although Ma Liangbi didn't believe that Zhang Fan, who had just been a pioneer officer for a few days, and these soldiers under his command moved him, but he was still so frightened that he took a few steps back......
Zhang Fan's soldiers really didn't dare to move Ma Liangbi, they looked at their commander and the two brocade guards standing together, all of them looked dazed, and at this time, the brothers of the Naha Port Patrol Battalion under Ma Fan suddenly became powerful, seized the weapons of several soldiers, and prepared to arrest Ma Liangbi.
Another group of soldiers fought with these people under Ma Qi, and Wang Qi took his own people to protect Luo Aping and other Lin Mansion family members, so as not to accidentally injure innocents in the fight.
Zhang Fan knew that he did not have prestige in front of these soldiers, so he had to take action in person and ran forward to arrest Ma Liangbi.
Ma Liangbi was so frightened that he ran in the direction of Concubine Zheng's sedan chair, hoping that the guards in the palace could save him.
Zhang Fan chased to the front of the concubine's sedan chair, but was stopped by the palace guards.
Ma Liangbi knew that he had fallen for Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er, hid behind the guards, and shouted: "Ignorant boy Zhang Fan, you have wasted your father's kindness in vain!" It's too late for you to rein in the precipice now, hurry up and take down those two women who pretend to be brocade guards for your father. ”
Zhang Fan stopped in front of the sedan chair, bowed down, and said: "The last general Zhang Fan shocked the holy car of Niangniang Chitose, the crime deserves death, please forgive Niangniang Chitose!" ”
Seeing that the situation in front of her had changed, she wiped away her tears, opened the sedan curtain, pointed at Ma Liangbi, and shouted to the guards beside her: "Don't take this anti-thief for the palace yet!" ”
Ma Liangbi laughed when he heard this, and also said to the guards: "Everyone, you are all filmed by the queen's mother, where should you go, do you still need to talk nonsense?" ”
These six guards are also stupid, guessing in their hearts that Concubine Zhengniang is open-mouthed, and actually said that when the prime minister of the dynasty is a thief, you look at me, I look at you, no one listens to her command.
Although there are hints from the queen's mother, but at the moment the concubine is not out of line, naturally she does not dare to be rude to her easily, the party in front of her is Ma Liangbi's righteous son, and behind him is the brocade guard of the Ming court, which really makes these guards difficult.
The guards neither listened to Concubine Niangniang, nor did they dare to make a move with Zhang Fan, and the two sides were at a stalemate......
In front of the cemetery of Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao, Ma Zhu and his men and the soldiers brought by Zhang Fan had already started a battle, and the two sides were evenly matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while.
Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er ordered Wang Qi to send Luo Aping and the others away quickly, and Wang Qi took the opportunity to leave the cemetery.
When Wang Qi and the others walked away, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er came to the sedan chair of the concubine Niangniang, and after meeting the concubine Niangniang, they stood with Zhang Fan and continued to confront the guards.
Ma Liangbi saw that Wang Qi had run away with those who came to pay respects, and Wang Qi seemed to be in the same group as Guo Yi, so he took two palace guards and ran forward to stop Wang Qi and others.
As soon as Zhang Fan saw that there was an opportunity, he bypassed the four guards who were blocking him in front of him, and rushed forward to arrest Ma Liangbi......
The four guards had no choice but to start a fight with Zhang Fan......
Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er said a blessing to the concubine Niangniang, and asked the Niangniang Chitose to allow the two to go and help Zhang Fan.
Concubine Niangniang complained: "Sister help! I've finally looked forward to you, two sisters, these entourages are all people who are watching over me, and what do I keep them doing! ”
After receiving the reply from Concubine Zhengniang, Guo Yi and Xu Ling'er were no longer polite, showed their embroidered spring knives, and rushed towards the guards with a loud shout......
At this moment, I heard a shout from afar: King Chitose and Queen Mother Chitose have arrived......
