Chapter 3: The beauty of the incense car
Li Yun slipped out of the East City all the way, thinking that Fu Nu and his carriage were still in the Jiannan Wine Shop, and couldn't help but hesitate to pace outside the north gate of the city, wandering back and forth. But when I thought of the disaster I caused, I said it was a murder at worst; To put it mildly, it's just that the master killed the house slave, and he was completely wronged!
That damn "bearded big eyes" seems to speak with a Hebei accent! I beat the house slaves, and they helped me beat the house slaves to death, what the hell does this mean?
This black pot can't afford to carry! Wang Shoujuan, who was killed, was the palace envoy and the order of the Inner Government Bureau, and his position in the inner servant was not low, and this person also had a brother Wang Shoucheng with a higher position, and they were all the third brother of the king Li You, if they got the news and went to their father to cry, they would be severely punished, even if they were the prince, they would not be able to intercede for themselves.
But things happen outside the palace, and it won't be that simple. Chang'an Wei, who is in charge of the trade of the East and West Cities, will definitely ask about the case, as well as Wannian County and Jingzhao Mansion. When it comes to the affairs of a prince and the inner court palace city, the inner temple uncle and Zuo Jin Wuwei, who represent the inner court, will definitely have to intervene.
Worst! The matter of Miyagichi is a very tricky issue, and it must not be involved in the deep water crater.
Thinking about these complicated things inside and outside the palace, Li Yun only felt that his scalp was numb, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
If you go back to the Li Wang's Mansion now, trouble will soon come to your door. The problem is that it is not yet certain which yamen will be in charge of the investigation of this incident. And the key culprit is naturally a group of people brought by "beard and big eyes", and many people should have seen it. If you don't investigate clearly, you will rush back, and the official will not be able to tell at all, and there will be no evidence.
What to do? Where to take refuge from the limelight? If the cheap father in the palace gets the report, ordinary people don't dare to hide themselves.
Li Yun was thinking about it, when he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and a large group of soap-clothed servants with waist knives rushed from the East City, and he was suddenly shocked, turned around and ran away.
"Huh? So what does the brother run? Isn't it the culprit...... Chase! ”
Hearing someone shouting behind him, Li Yun regretted it, but quickened his pace, and ran eastward along Chunmingmen Street outside the Beifang Gate of Dongshi, and looked back as he ran, a large group of soap servants were divided into two teams, and they were outflanking and chasing them not far behind.
This is the person of Captain An, the director of the East City Bureau, if he is caught, he will be aggrieved after interrogation, and he will ...... The rest of the matter is completely out of control, Li Yun doesn't like this feeling of being controlled by others and unable to be autonomous.
A merchant in front of him came with a load of pears, Li Yun accidentally bumped into it when he rushed over, and the merchant involuntarily carried the burden and turned, and the big and round pears suddenly flew out, jumping and rolling everywhere on the street.
The soap servants in the back laughed, someone picked up the pear and smacked it, Li Yun dodged in embarrassment, not far in front of Xingqing Palace, where grandmother lived, maybe he could go and hide. As soon as he ran through the corner of the Dongshi Fang Wall, he didn't want to face another team of mounted sergeants in bright armor trotting on horseback.
This is Jin Wuwei! Li Yun scolded secretly, stopped suddenly, suddenly turned around and ran back, and collided with a soap servant head-on. This errand officer is short, Li Yun's chin hit the forehead of the errand officer, only to hear the upper and lower teeth rattle, and the pain of being bitten in the mouth.
The officer in front of him screamed in pain, and his face was dazed. Li Yun was furious and angry, knocked over the errand officer with a punch, lifted the hem of his robe and tied it into his belt, spread his feet and continued to run west. A group of errand officers couldn't react in time, couldn't stop their steps, and when they saw Li Yun heading west, they turned around and chased after him.
Rushed all the way through the wall of Dongshi Xifang, in front of which was the south gate of Chongrenfang and the north gate of Pingkangfang, Li Yun rushed directly into Pingkangfang, and looked back to see that those soap servants were still chasing after him, Li Yun was already sweating profusely, and he was out of breath, and he estimated that those errand soldiers were about the same, and he couldn't relax at this time.
In the north of the fang, there are Golan Theater and some of the residence of the Kabuki Musicians of the Sect Division, and these low-level places can't hide themselves, so they only hope to get rid of those errand workers by going through the alleys. Li Yun got into an alley in Nanqu, then turned around and went south to Dongjie, and ran west when he got out of the east gate and Dongshi.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of West Street, two messengers were looking around on North Street, and when they saw him shouting a few times to greet his companions, they chased after him again. Li Yun didn't have time to take a breath, and ran all the way down West Street.
After a while, more than a dozen errands behind were about to chase after him, Li Yun rushed out of the west gate of Pingkangfang in one breath, and at a glance, he saw a wide van car with red paint carving coming out of the east gate of Wubenfang diagonally, and slowly drove out of the fangmen, and it happened to stop under the fangfang wall.
Li Yun hurriedly glanced back, the servants who were still on the west street in Pingkangfang couldn't see the carriage, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, no matter who was sitting in the carriage, he rushed forward and picked up the wheel, pulled the door and lifted the curtain to get into the carriage, and suddenly the fragrant breeze was blowing in his nose, and a young and delicate picturesque face appeared in front of him.
This is a young lady, about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a moon-white shirt and a light green half-skirt, wearing a light green tunic skirt, holding a half-vermilion wooden box of green dates in one hand, and pinching one in the other hand and biting it on the mouth. A maid next to her was waving a small fan of white paper lotus flowers up and down, giving her a cool look.
Suddenly, a sweaty strange young man broke in, put his fingers on his lips to make a silent motion, and sat in the front corner of the carriage opposite the little maidservant, winked at the two of them, smiled friendly, and suddenly showed snow-white teeth, and the shallow dimples on his handsome cheeks.
The young man sat down, then pulled up the curtain hanging from the car and threw it in front of him, and immediately covered his figure in the corner, revealing only a pair of black boots with a white background under the drape. But the sole of the boot on his right foot fell off the front half, and the toes of the socks were already sticking out of the boot.
The little master and servant watched in amazement as the young man had done this, until the curtain covered the handsome face, and then they let out an exclamation of "ah" as if they had just woken up from a dream, and their eyes fell on the right foot that was sticking out of the boot.
Cluck...... The little maid was simple-minded, she couldn't hold back her laughter, and quickly reached out to cover her little mouth, turned her head to look at her little lady, and found that her bright eyes, which were originally wide open, had become a curved crescent moon at this time, and the lines on her thin lips were blooming, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, but she didn't make a sound, and indifferently put half a box of green dates in her hand aside and covered the lid of the box, as if she wouldn't scream in shock.
On the contrary, the coachman outside reacted first, lifted the corner of the curtain and shouted: "Where is the evil boy, Hugh is rude, come out quickly!" ”
There are often cases of evil teenagers in Beijing molesting passing girls, but they are generally a little subtle, and it is extremely rare to openly get into the car frivolously. The old coachman obviously couldn't stand it, and his gray-haired head stuck into the carriage for a while, and saw that his little master was still sitting fine, and the person who broke in didn't see it, and he couldn't help but be a little strange.
"Here! I was just chased by the servants and asked for money, so I borrowed your carriage to hide for a while, and please don't make a noise. ”
The lie blurted out, Li Yun secretly admired his emergency eloquence, and when he saw the old coachman's eyes wandering around in the car, he opened the curtain to show his face a little, and then covered it again.
"Heh......" The old coachman opened his mouth in surprise, smiled unexpectedly, retracted his head, and casually closed the curtain, and closed the small door outside.
A jumble of footsteps came running, and without stopping and quickly ran away. The old coachman shrewdly drove the carriage slowly south, and sure enough, another messenger came back, interrogated a few words, and then left.
The little maid at the window diagonally opposite the car kept looking out of the car, and when she saw that the servants had not come again after walking for a while, she gave the order to evict the passengers: "Hey...... Someone is leaving! This Lang Jun, you ......"
Li Yun didn't understand the meaning of the little maid, so he had to stretch out his hand to pull open the curtain, and said with a cheeky smile: "Thank you for this little lady's help, I was chased by someone for several streets just now, and I was about to break my leg, isn't this ...... Half of the boot on my right foot has fallen off, and I can take a breather? ”
The little maid giggled again when she heard this, and the little lady in the green dress glared at the little maid with a little unhappiness, then looked at Li Yun, and frowned slightly: "Why does this Langjun make fun of you in person, looking at your clothes, you must be a wealthy family, how dare those servants ask you for money......
After eating a serious look from the master, the little maid waved the fan again, and the fragrant wind hit her face. Li Yun also listened to it, and turned his head to look at it carefully.
This little lady's voice is soft and soothing, and when she speaks, she slightly deviates from her face, her face is full and slightly flushed, and some fine velvet hair in her crystal ears reveals a neatly combed coiled mustache, and the light green gauze ribbon bow that binds her hair matches the half-skirt and lower skirt on her body, giving people a feeling of being as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water.
Ordinary people's little ladies generally comb double rings to look at the fairy mustache, and comb this kind of hairstyle, either the palace maid in the palace, or some wealthy families, noble and high-ranking officials of the little lady, these noble family women are often guarded by the servants to go out, and they are very particular about clothing and hairstyle.
Li Yun also felt that this little lady should be the little lady of a noble family, and her vision was not bad, she actually saw something, and suddenly her brain teaser turned, arched her hand and replied with a smile: "Dare to ask the little lady's surname?" Can a good person do it to the end and help someone else? ”
"The slave family is exempt from your surname Xiao!" The little lady in the green dress nodded slightly, owed a little to return the gift, and said, "Then it depends on how to help Lang Jun?" ”
Li Yun had no choice but to sincerely request: "A certain surname is Li, Xiao Xiaoniang can call a certain Li Erlang!" To tell you the truth, I am in trouble now, and I am in a very, very dangerous situation, and it is inconvenient for the government and my family to know my whereabouts, can Xiao Xiaoniang send me to ...... Outside the Tongyang Gate inside Chunmingmen Street? If you have the opportunity to see you again in the future, I will definitely thank you! ”
"Danger? Hiding from family and the government? Li Langjun, is this going to run away from home or ......"
Seeing Xiao Xiao's curious face, her smart eyes flickered, clearly guessing what had happened to her just now, but she knew too little information and didn't know why at all.
Li Yun smiled, but didn't want to explain too much.
"Oh well! Anyway, the slave family is now back to the mansion, and it is idle, so it is okay to give you a ride, but there is no need to thank you! ”
Xiao Xiaoniang smiled slightly, her bright eyes and bright teeth were moving, especially the big eyes that could talk and occasionally glanced over, her gaze was not very sharp, but there was a kind of warmth and warmth like a spring breeze.
