Chapter 9: Eternal Happiness (I)
One.
In the winter of the twentieth year of the king of Chenfang, there was heavy snowfall.
Two.
On a snowy night, I was tired of reading the excerpts, and I fell asleep on the desk. During the days when I was asleep, He Yunsheng wore his set of sable fur, rode a Dawan horse, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry. When my wife woke me up, I was physically and mentally exhausted, but I still cheered up, patted my face, and went to the lobby to see He Yunsheng.
As soon as I got out of the study and walked in the corridor, the cold wind blew through, and I couldn't help but shrink my neck, Qiu Ming saw this, and said: "It's very warm when I get to the lobby, Xiangye, ah, I'll let someone sweep the snow in a while." β
"It's okay, it's so late, it's cold, let's sweep it again tomorrow, it's pretty good to fall like this." I pulled the fire fox fur, "Did Master Hou say that he was looking for me something?" β
"I don't know, what Madame said... The girl was sold to the midnight building... Or something? Qiu Ming scratched her head, "You can ask him yourself in a moment." β
I sighed, and I knew that every time He Yunsheng stabbed Lou Zi, it was related to women. Some people committed Tai Sui, He Yunsheng was a female Tai Sui.
Walking on the road, I suddenly remembered something, and asked Qiu Ming to prepare the tools for sencha in the lobby first.
Lobby.
"I heard that you robbed the people's girls again?" I fried the tea, poured him a cup, and said, "Well, warm up." β
"Take a sip of hot soju to warm up." He Yunsheng looked at the tea with disgust and complained about the cold, and Qiu Ming hurriedly lit the stove more vigorously.
"Madame won't let me get drunk, you know." I said, "And I've had a headache lately, and Sun Yuji also asked me to drink less." β
"I didn't rob the people's daughter, I saved the beauty as a hero, okay? You have to keep up with the times. He Yunsheng swallowed the tea and frowned, "It's too bitter." β
"Bitter before sweet." I laughed and said, "Who dares to go wild on your turf?" β
"It's your fourth sister's territory." He Yunsheng said, "There is a man who wants to sell a girl to Midnight Tower, I happened to go to Midnight Tower to see Soft Qing, and when I came back, I bumped into it, so I rescued it." β
"What's so bad about selling to Midnight? There is food, drink and clothing in the midnight building, maybe it can be like soft green, and be favored by the Hou Ye. I teased, "Anyway, didn't your father finally let go a while ago?" When are you going to marry Softgreen? β
"Don't mention the matter of soft green first, I will definitely marry her." He Yunsheng said mysteriously, "You are definitely interested in that man." β
"Neurotic, what interest do I have in men."
"Why are you so vulgar, Zhou Yulan? I asked someone to check on the man, this man's family is poor, so he lives by selling some broken antiques, but this man I believe you will want to find him, because his name is Wang Yiliang. β
My hand that was straining tea stopped.
Wang Yiliang, this name is too familiar.
Wang Yiliang, the person who killed Wu Mo in the thousand-mile rivers and mountains incident back then. I told He Yunsheng about this person before, but I never thought that he really cared about it. Last year's case, this year, the culprit was caught, and it was really interesting.
"Where does he live?"
"Behind the West Market, at the end of Nanliu Alley."
Okay, I'm in an alley with Ni Yuyi's house.
I asked someone to bring the fire fox fur: "Let's go, go to the water prison." β
"What to do, the water dungeon has become frozen in this weather, and it's underground, cold and cold, so I don't want to go." He Yunsheng picked up the teacup, took two more sips, and frowned.
I know best how to deal with He Yunsheng, and asked with a smile: "Is that girl good-looking?" β
He Yunsheng seriously recalled the girl's appearance: "Very beautiful. β
"Do you like it?"
"Childe likes it." He Yunsheng's eyes were bright.
"How about I help you marry back?" I blinked.
He Yunsheng became interested, and Mink Qiu put on a drape: "Strategy-horseββ! β
He Yunsheng and I rushed to the water prison, lit up our identities, and gave some silver, He Yunsheng took the lamp and walked in front, and I followed him. Although this is not the first time I have been to the water prison, the weather is still a little chilly at this point. The water prison was designed by the national teacher more than 100 years ago, when the Chen Kingdom was when the Chen King strengthened the royal power and destroyed the princes, the Chen Kingdom was a little chaotic, and the chaos was easy to commit crimes, so the national teacher designed this unique water prison to detain the criminals who committed serious crimes.
The water prison was built underground, under the land outside the Dongcheng Lane of Wucheng, for some reason, small pools were formed, and the national teacher ordered people to dig out more pools, and closed each pool with a cage made of black iron. In the center of the pool was a small circular platform where the prisoners were staying. There are several stone steps from the door of the cell to the central platform, the water is not deep, it is stagnant, and there are few cases of prisoners escaping from the prison through the underground river. The water dungeon is already underground, the temperature is quite low, and in winter, it is even more gloomy. Moreover, decades ago, the Ministry of Punishment built ordinary cells on the ground, and the water prisons were only for the most heinous prisoners, most of whom were imprisoned for life or death row.
The water prison is difficult, and I have to say that this is a good place for the prisoners to reflect, except for Ni Yuyi. I still don't know how Ni Yuren came out of the water prison, and where she stole the cotton clothes, lying on the stone bed in the center, leisurely.
"What does the prime minister have to do?" Ni Yuyi crossed her legs and asked leisurely, "It won't be to send me warmth." β
"I've come to ask you about someone."
"Prime Minister, I'm a thief, not an intelligence dealer." Ni Yuyi sat up, her face was a little helpless, "And I'm Sakule, Sakule, I've been sentenced to life imprisonment, why are you still looking for me?" β
"I've brought some wine today." I naturally know that Ni Yuyi must have other intentions when he stays in the water prison, but he hasn't shown it yet, and the fox hasn't shown his tail, so I can't act rashly, it just so happens that he is an excellent source of information, but he can't refuse good wine. I opened the lid, and Ni's eyes immediately lit up.
"Pear blossom wine." Ni Yuyi got up from the bed and flew to the nearest stone to the cell door, I poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, he drank it all, looked satisfied, and said, "Say it." β
"Do you know Wang Yiliang?"
He didn't seem surprised at all that I would ask about this person, and said lightly: "Wang Yiliang has done all the bad things in Chenguo, and you only asked about him now." β
I chuckled in my heart, thinking carefully about the major events that have happened in Chenguo in recent years, and there are some strange things, that is, the death of my father and General Zuo in the nineteenth year of King Ping, and the incident of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the twenty years of King Ping, could it be related to Wang Yiliang? After thinking about it, I asked, "Is Wang Yiliang a native of Weiguo?" β
Ni Yuyi shook his head and motioned to He Yunsheng to pour him another glass of wine, He Yunsheng pursed his lips, was glared at by me, and obediently poured the wine: "Sakuleri is not all from the country, like me, I am from the Youguo, and I fled to the Chen Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms Rebellion." Sakul has developed into a strangely large organization in the country of Chen, and many foreigners who fled to the country of Chen during the Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms have entered Sakule. Most of the high-level people in Sakule want to support the Marquis of Wuyang as the unborn of the kingdom or their descendants, and the people at the lower level cannot reach the upper class, and they don't know what the upper class wants to do. In the eyes of many people in the lower classes, Sakul is like a village friend association, in this organization, you can find your fellow countrymen. β
I said in my heart that Sakule is still very strong? Returning to the Hometown Friends Association? Why do you recruit so many people?
"Nostalgia for the past is the most powerful feeling.,In the eyes of your Chenguo people,Isn't it also divided into Chenguo and foreigners? If you are both foreigners and are in a foreign land, you will naturally gather together. As for me, I'm not a high-level executive, but I'm in constant contact with high-level executives. So I know that Wang Yiliang is very special. Because he is the only one in the upper echelons of Chenguo. β
"Chen Guoren?" He Yunsheng and I were shocked.
"Yes, it's not that he hates Chenguo, he just feels bored, so he is looking for something to do, lest the world will not be chaotic." When Ni Yuyi mentioned Wang Yiliang, his face also showed some panic, "The great thing about Wang Yiliang is that he can mix something called Bliss Drink, which is very poisonous." What's even more terrifying is that this person has made different types of Bliss, with different functions, for example, if he wants you to drink Bliss and die of festering, you will not be buried with your legs intact. β
The first time I heard such a vicious thing, I got goosebumps: "Bliss? So you finished stealing something and wrote 'Bliss'? β
"It's fun." Ni Yuyi didn't care, "I don't know why it's called Blissful Drink, you have to ask him." β
I just wanted to ask something else, but He Yunsheng said impatiently: "Do you recognize Lu Shen, Lu Shen." β
"Green Shen?" Ni Yuyi began to look for the name in her mind, "Oh, it's the girl Wang Yiliang picked up." β
"Pick it up?"
"In the winter of five years ago, it was also like this, she was freezing to death on the side of the road, Wang Yiliang saved her, but she didn't remember anything when she woke up, and the name was also taken by Wang Yiliang. To be honest, Lu Shen is a very beautiful girl, but Wang Yiliang is very cold to her and tests her medicine, but this girl is very strong and never speaks. β
Hearing this, I felt that He Yunsheng's anger had risen significantly.
"How can you tell me so much? Aren't you afraid your superiors will know? "I still can't help but want to find out the root cause of Ni Yuyi's stay here.
"It has been twenty years since the Rebellion of the Three Kingdoms, and I have settled down in Chenguo, the people of Chenguo are very good-hearted, and the officials are not mediocre, but this is not my own country after all." Ni Yuyi didn't answer my question directly, "But ah, I don't like to be restrained by nature, I don't have an eternal boss for me, and I don't have a permanent enemy, after all, I am a native of Youguo, and I don't have anything to do with Wuyanghou at all, so I'm not a person with a political position, I help Sakul do things, just because I owe the sect leader a favor." But the favor is too heavy, and the way I want me to return it is too cruel, I don't like it, so I want to stay here. My credo in life is very simple, I will be good to whoever is good to me. The prime minister is very kind to me, and he doesn't restrict my freedom, and he also gives me wine, and it's not too much to ask, so don't I fulfill the prime minister's request every time? And Prime Minister, I think you have coped well with the major events of the past year or so, beyond my imagination. β
I don't know why, I was a little moved when I heard Ni Yuyi's words, so far, I can't be a qualified prime minister, and I don't know how a qualified prime minister should be, this time I was affirmed by a foreigner, and I was a little happy in my heart.
Ni Yuyi drank the wine one by one, and said to me: "Prime Minister, I will tell you one last thing, it is difficult to prevent thieves." β
That's right. In the matter of Feng Ge last time, there was definitely a mole in the court.
