Chapter 66: Zhao Jingniang
"Zhao Jingniang." The female crown replied lightly.
The plays I watched when I was a child were not watched in vain.
Zhao Kuangyin sent Jingniang thousands of miles away.
This play can be said to be a classic repertoire in the play, and the name Chen Xu and Zhao Jingniang are not unfamiliar.
But how did Jing Niang wear a Taoist robe and become a monk? Where did Zhao Kuangyin go?
Chen Xu had a lot of question marks
Brother Zhao, where have you been, your sister-in-law has seen through Hongchen and become a monk, so she doesn't care?
"You know me?" Zhao Jingniang looked at Chen Xu with a surprised expression when she heard her name and asked.
"I don't know." Chen Xu hurriedly said. You can't tell people that I'm on the stage a thousand years later, and I've watched the drama of your love affair with someone's children. In this way, normal people will not believe it, only when you are crazy.
But then again, the story of "Thousands of Miles to Beijing Niang" is just a folklore, and it is not recorded in the annals of history, and whether it really happened remains to be confirmed. Then the character of Zhao Jingniang may not be real, it may be far-fetched and fictional by later generations, just to set off Song Taizu's integrity and righteousness.
"Miss Zhao, don't you live in Puzhou?" Chen Xu asked. He was a little curious, why was Jingniang in Huashan, did he remember that Zhao Jingniang's family didn't live in Puzhou? But Puzhou is at least thousands of miles away from Huazhou, why did Zhao Jingniang come here.
Maybe it's not a person, it's just the same name. There are not a few people with the same name and surname in this world.
Chen Xu then thought like this.
"How do you know that I originally lived in Puzhou?" Zhao Jingniang's red lips opened slightly, and she was surprised.
Really?! Such a coincidence.
"Huh. I've heard people talk about you. "A stranger knows everything about others, which is not normal at all, which naturally arouses Zhao Jingniang's suspicions.
"Who do you listen to?" She asked.
"I listened to Zhao Kuangyin." Chen Xu had no choice but to carry Zhao Kuangyin out of the blame. Anyway, the two of you have been in a sadomasochistic relationship for a thousand years, Chen Xu thought.
"Zhao Kuangyin?" Zhao Jingniang's face was puzzled, "The surname is Zhao, is it the same township as me?" ”
"It's just that I haven't heard of it at all." She muttered softly.
She doesn't know Zhao Kuangyin, the two are brother and sister, haven't they met each other yet?
Thinking about it this way, it is possible, comparative history has changed beyond recognition, and it is reasonable not to touch it.
Anyway, the concubine has no intention of having a lover, and Luohua is intentionally ruthless. It's a good thing that the two didn't meet.
"You don't know?" Chen Xu asked.
"Probably a fellow countryman." Zhao Jingniang replied, "But I shouldn't be familiar with it, I haven't heard of this name." ”
At this time, he believed most of Chen Xu's words, and his face softened slightly.
Chen Xu didn't ask any more, just now he was just out of curiosity.
The next thing is to clean up the mess, the little Taoist priest died on the spot, and the other two thieves, Brother Long and Brother Hu, under the mercy of Chen Xu, still have half a life left. They were tied up and ready to be notified to the government.
Chen Xu adhered to the spiritual program of mosquito meat and small beast meat, did not forget to get some oil and water, and used strong spiritual power through his eyes, so frightened that the half-dead two peed their pants and had a pool of yellow water stains on their crotches.
The secret room is not very airy, and the smell is a little... That one.
provoked Zhao Jingniang's nose to frown.
However, she didn't know that the culprit was Chen Xu, who looked indifferent to her.
……
"Xiaguan has seen Lord Thorn Shi." An official wearing a lacquered veil and an official uniform said in a respectful tone.
Later, an official wearing a hat came to the door with a team of soap-clothed servants and took away Brother Long, Brother Hu, Daoist Qingyun, and the little Taoist priest who had become a dead man.
Because of his life, according to the procedure, he had to take Chen Xu and Zhao Jingniang back to the yamen to make a confession record.
"If you want to make a record, you can do it here, and going to the yamen is not a waste of time!" He Meng had a loud voice, and it was uncomfortable to listen to an official tone. He is an orthodox martial artist, and he only serves people who have the ability, such as Chen Xu, and now a fart officer is jumping in front of him, isn't this an eye medicine?!
"Who are you, who want to oppose the officials of the imperial court, and if you want to rebel, you can't do it?" The petty official is colorful. Although He Meng's roaring appearance was fierce and vicious, which began to catch him off guard and startled, but he was an official, no matter how tall the other party was, he was also a grass people, and he dared to go against the government? !
"Before you go to the government, let's see who my eldest brother is?" He Meng was not stupid, he didn't take this stubble, and asked instead.
"Let's do it on the spot, we'll be leaving soon." Chen Xu felt that although this petty official was full of officialdom, he didn't do anything excessive, what He Meng said just now was not very polite, but it was exactly what he wanted to say, he didn't want to go to the yamen, the reason was very simple, it was like a normal person in modern society who wanted to go to the police station if he had nothing to do, so he showed the identity of the assassin of Huazhou.
So there was the scene just now.
The matter was dealt with quickly and efficiently, and it came to light that Brother Long and Brother Tiger were wanted for crimes in several neighboring states, and the crime was extremely heinous, and he was first detained, and the crime should be investigated and beheaded, and it was reported to the Criminal Department. And Qingyun Dao Chang is a tiger and is an accomplice, and he is sentenced according to the law.
There was a hiccup in the middle.
"Dao Gu is the master of the white jade temple in the eastern suburbs." Because of Chen Xu's presence, the little black gauze official asked politely.
"Exactly." Zhao Jingniang seemed to know what this little official really wanted to ask, and her face turned a little pale.
"In October of the first year of Xuande, His Majesty issued an edict to the world to stop abolishing Taoist temples without official government quotas, and ordered the dismissal of men and women who had left their homes without permission." The little official told this court decree 1510.
"Isn't there any room for mitigation?" may be because of the folk legend, Chen Xu has a good impression of Zhao Jingniang, and wants to say a few good words for her.
"It's really forbidden by the imperial court, and there is no way for the lower officials." The little black gauze looked apologetic, but replied very firmly. It is true that Chen Xu is the nominal supreme governor of Huazhou, but you must remember the previous "nominal", besides, he disobeyed the clear decree of the imperial court and couldn't get rid of his head, how could he do such a stupid thing.
It is true that Zhao Jingniang became a Taoist aunt after leaving home, but she became a monk privately, and the Taoist temple was also opened by herself.
In the troubled times, wars, wars, disasters, and famines, many women and women were displaced, and because of their own troubled fate, this made her empathize with the plight of these women and have great sympathy. After the establishment of the Taoist temple, it has now taken in no less than a dozen women, and because they are all women, they only receive female pilgrims, and the incense has always been very good. If the Taoist temple is closed, it would be better for her to be alone, to eat alone, and the whole family will not be hungry. but it has afflicted these ill-fated women. These women will be left alone.
This imperial decree had already been sent to Huazhou, and she was also very anxious and wanted to take countermeasures, so she wanted Qingyunguan.
This Qingyun Taoist Temple has an official quota, and Qingyun Taoist is a friend of her deceased father before his death, she originally wanted to ask Qingyun Taoist for help, but she didn't expect that she almost fell into the fire pit, and now the Qingyun Guanguan has been arrested by the government, and Qingyun Guanguan is also going to be confused, and she can't count on it.
As for Chen Xu, although Zhao Jingniang's character image of daring to love and hate, he was deeply impressed when he was a child, until now.
But now they are just meeting in the water, and the imperial court wants to close down the illegal Taoist temple, which is a decision at the national level, and what he said does not work, and it can't help, so he can only say that he can't help it.
