Chapter 19: The Unexpected

Today's Chang'an City is like this blue sky like a wash, a rare calm. Even a person with a strong heart sees such a sky...... It didn't dissipate much either.

This anger is naturally swollen by Xiao You's beaten chest and back, and before the injury is healed, he was scolded by his uncle Wei Youcheng and grounded Wei Yiwei Gongzi in the house. Jingzhao Wei's inheritance from the Western Han Dynasty to the present, branches and leaves, although each branch and each house have a genealogy to check, there are also family relations, but unless the day of the festival to worship the ancestors. Families that are not members of the same branch will not interfere with each other in the affairs of their families.

But Wei Ting, as the representative of Wei's in the court at this time, was accused by the imperial history of lax tutoring and lack of discipline in the court. E Guogong even ridiculed the Wei family to his face for bullying and domineering. Although the emperor did not blame, his attitude towards him and the Duke of Eguo each playing fifty boards also showed that the emperor agreed with what the Duke of Eguo said. Not long after the court was settled, the children of the family forgot to be cautious in their words and deeds, and began to act wildly. Even Concubine Wei of the harem handed him a message, urging the sons of the family to study diligently, cultivate more virtues, and be wise and polite. Don't mess around all day.

Wei Ting's family demeanor, who is not admired by his colleagues in the past. This Wei Yi is not his son and grandson, why is he causing trouble now, but the spearhead is coming at him. Even if he has the temperament of the prime minister, Wei Youcheng angrily smashed the teacup at home. Angrily, he went straight to Wei Xuanji's Cao Senjun Mansion.

Wei Yi is Wei Xuanji's youngest son. is not as good as his brother, Wei Yi has lacked discipline since he was a child, and after the court was stable, Wei Xuanji saw that he was not successful, so he let it go. Wei Xuanji was ordered to go to Luoyang to supervise the garden, but he has been absent from the mansion for more than half a year. Wei Yi is even more unrestrained, so he wanders invisibly in Chang'an City on weekdays, lingering in the Qinglou restaurant all day long. Relying on Jingzhao Webster's name and rich family assets, no one offended him. I didn't want to do it on a whim this time, so I listened to a group of bad friends who wanted to break the thorny rose, but they really hit their heads and broke the bloodstream.

Lying shirtless on the couch, two delicate maidservants knelt under the couch, and a pair of small hands were on Wei Gongzi's red and swollen back, carefully applying ointment. Almost all of the people who were clawed by the little ghost had some internal injuries. Wei Yi did not hold a weapon and did not resist decently. Xiao You didn't recognize him as the main messenger, so Wei Yi was the least injured. After reading it, the doctor prescribed some medicines to relax the muscles, invigorate the blood and dissipate blood stasis, and told him not to move.

The doctor's instructions were superfluous, but he couldn't stand the pain and squeaked and screamed while lying on his stomach with a servant girl serving him. Wei Yi can't even get off the bed, so how can he walk around.

"Tap! Tap! You two kneading dough! Give Ben a tap! Wei Yi was uncomfortable with the dressing, and his back was like an ant. After the plaster gradually took effect, it was as hot as soup, "It's hot to death!" Fan me, fan! ”

The maid didn't have time to say anything, so she hurriedly got up and walked quickly to get the silk fan, knelt down again, and hurriedly fanned the wind. Wei Yi felt the heat relieve slightly, and then slowly settled down again, closed his eyes, and asked with a hum in his mouth, "Haven't you found that slut yet?" ”

Of course, Wei Yi asked not two little maids, and there was a Wei family servant kneeling in the hall. The five bodies knelt without making a sound, and I don't know how long I have been kneeling. Hearing Wei Gongzi's question, he raised his head slightly and replied: "There are no clues in the investigation of the whole city of Jingzhao Mansion, and Jin Wuwei's pursuit is fruitless. ”

"It's all rubbish! Counting on them?! What about our people? Didn't our people find those people either?! Such a big monster! Say no, it's gone? Wei Yi shouted and scolded and pulled his back, and with a sigh, he hurriedly lay down honestly.

"Childe, forgive me, after Lord Youcheng came that day, except for our mansion, the rest of the people sent by the prefecture to search have withdrawn. But we are in the house...... Most of the Nudin's troops were wounded, and there were not enough men. At present, only the gates of the city have been sent to keep watch. The servant knew very well that this would add fuel to the fire, and he couldn't satisfy his son-in-law, so without waiting for Mr. Wei's reaction, he hurriedly continued: "But the steward has already informed the fangzheng of each fang, and he has also found a few local snakes in Chang'an Wannian, and they are exploring below. Don't worry, those can't run! ”

Where there is a city, there are ruffians, and in some ways, these snakes, insects, flies and dogs are the ones who know the city best. If you want to use them to find someone, then really no fugitive can hide from their eyes. Unfortunately, the average fugitive will only hide in a dark corner and be cautious. And will not swagger to live in the Guogong Mansion. And even if someone saw Duchess Wei Guo go out with a few people from Pingkangfang, they would not think that they were murderers.

Because no matter how long Jingzhao Webster is, it is powerful. A mere Wei Yi will not make the dignified Duchess of the country afraid. What's more, the patriotic and impartial army is fighting abroad. Mo said that he beat the young son of a mere Cao Cao who joined the army, and it was Wei Xuanji himself who offended Mrs. Li and was whipped. In addition to a few words from the Imperial History Association, even His Majesty the Emperor will not embarrass the Patriotic Mansion at this time.

The ruffians and street tyrants monitored the one hundred and eight squares in the two cities of Chang'an, but there were some places that they did not monitor after all. In addition to the mansions of important ministers of the imperial court, there are also the yamen of various official offices. For example, Chang'an County Ya. Not to mention that their identities were originally not dealt with with the yamen, and besides, this time it was to help the Wei family find the prisoners who had escaped from trouble, if the prisoners were in the yamen, would they still be used to find them?

So, when Luo Yun got off the carriage of the Guogong Mansion, politely said goodbye to the coachman who brought him, and walked to the Yamen of Chang'an County, no one noticed him at all except for the errand officer standing on the street at the Yamen. Even the well-informed officer would not have thought that this dashing young man who had come in the carriage of the Imperial Mansion would be a fugitive.

Therefore, when Luo Yun smiled and said hello, politely handed over the written confession document, and said softly that he was here to surrender. Thinking that he had misheard, the officer politely took the paperwork and asked again, only to hear the same six words. The officer held his little finger and plucked his ear fiercely, and asked again in disbelief.

Luo Yun still smiled, and repeated politely and firmly: "I'm here to surrender." ”

The messenger widened his eyes and looked Li Luoyun up and down to make sure that the young man was not a madman. Then he asked again: "What case are you here to vote for?" ”

"Pingkangfang Zhan Lu Lou murder and wounding case." After Luo Yun finished speaking calmly, he pointed to the document in the officer's hand and said, "The confession document is hard to ask the eldest brother to hand it over for me." ”

The officer unfolded the paperwork in his hand and looked at it, he didn't know much, but he knew the three words of Pingkangfang. Pinching the letter in his hand, he was stunned, and the sea fishing document had not yet been printed, and the suspect in the big case that alarmed Chang'an suddenly stood in front of him and wanted to surrender. The servant was at a loss to know whether to lock the boy up first, or to report to the adults first.

Luo Yun looked at the panicked man who left him and ran into the yamen by himself, and felt funny, when would he be able to scare people. Wandering around to follow up with the county office, his mind recalled the events of the morning when he said goodbye to the Weiguo Mansion.

Mrs. Li is a believer, and in order to keep the three daughters in red as promised to Luo Yun, she summoned the three daughters to accompany her to breakfast early in the morning. When Luo Yun entered the hall through Aunt Fang, Mrs. Li was discussing with Hongyi with great interest about going out of the city for today's safari.

Luo Yun's gaze swept over the three girls and stopped on Hongyi's body for a moment, but unfortunately Hongyi lowered his head and chewed corn from the time he entered the room, without raising his eyelids. Although he had already understood, Luo Yun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. bowed and bowed to Mrs. Li to say goodbye, and neither of them, who knew it, said anything. Mrs. Li told Luo Yun like an elder that the autumn cold was getting heavier and pay attention to her body. Luo Yun asked Mrs. Li to convey his greetings to Wei Guogong and wish them good health.

This seemingly similar rhetorical dialogue was said in front of the three girls with different thoughts, which seemed somewhat deliberate. Hongyi didn't care what the two said, Luan Nier looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes from Luo Yun entering the room, and when she heard Luo Yun leaving, she felt sorry for herself in her heart but didn't dare to say anything. Lang Xuan didn't think as much as the two daughters, so Luo Yun listened to the conversation between Luo Yun and Mrs. Li.

I can't find fault with this conversation, although Lang Xuan feels that Luo Yun has no attachment to the red clothes so suddenly, but there is nothing strange about how lucky the men in the world are. But when Luo Yun took out the green jade gourd and handed it to Mrs. Li for temporary safekeeping, Lang Xuan noticed something strange from Mrs. Li's expression.

Observing words and colors is what women like them are best at. Lang Xuan didn't know this green jade gourd, and he didn't know what it was. Although it doesn't look like an ordinary product, it doesn't make Mrs. Li's expression as complicated when she sees it, and she is even more cautious when she reaches out to take it. What's even more strange is that the conversation between the two after that is finally no longer that kind of clichΓ©, but they deliberately avoided the third daughter, and Mrs. Li even got up and sent Luo Yun outside the house.

"Put the gourd here with me, and I will hand it over when your family comes, but can your body really do it?"

"The wine is completely gone, and leaving the gourd on the body will only cause trouble. If all goes well, I shouldn't be in prison for long. It's okay. ”

Hongfu looked at Luo Yun and shook his head slightly, what should have been said was said yesterday, this kid has such a heart, and it is useless to persuade him. "There's another thing, I only suddenly remembered last night, and I think I should tell you to be prepared."

"Madame, please."

"If things really go your way, go well. You may have the opportunity to meet the saint, but it is also likely to meet the queen mother. Remember, you can ask for your majesty for your grace, but never for the queen! ”

"Why is that?"

Hongfu said cautiously: "Do you know that when the court officials are still in the ministry, Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State, is the brother of the queen's mother?" ”

"When I first came to Chang'an, I didn't inquire about this. Zhao Guogong...... Something to do with what I'm asking for? ”

"No, it naturally has nothing to do with Zhao Guogong. I want to tell you that Zhao Guogong, as a relative, is quite talented, and has known His Majesty since childhood, and has a deep friendship, but when His Majesty wanted to seal his official book, the queen mother was resolutely opposed! ”

My brain couldn't turn around, and I asked blankly: "Why is this?" ”

Hongfu sighed with emotion and said: "The queen is an example for the harem women, and she has always been strict with herself, and she is the queen of the Han Dynasty. So I'd rather let my brother be rich and glorious, rather than be in a high position. The queen was afraid of repeating the mistakes of Empress Lu, but she didn't expect the temptation of the word power to men......"

"Madame means...... The queen mother is afraid that she will ignore the law of the country for the sake of personal kindness? ”

"Yes, not by sure! The queen mother behaved prudently, politely in words and deeds, even for the crown prince, there was no room for the slightest abolition of etiquette and favoritism. According to my understanding of Niangniang, you are kind to her, you are kind to the princess, if you ask for something else, as long as Niangniang has it, you will not be stingy. But if you treat the guilty body at this time, not to mention the three of them, it is impossible for you to ask the queen mother to forgive you now. ”

…… Thinking of Mrs. Li's words, Luo Yun couldn't help sighing, originally thought that the queen was kind and a person who had personally received his favor, and he should ask for grace from the queen. But I didn't expect it...... Fortunately, Mrs. Li reminded her in time, otherwise it would have been possible to mess things up.

Thinking about things like this, when Luo Yun raised his head, he found that he had walked to the county government hall, and before he could look around, Hula outside the side door snatched out more than a dozen officials holding obstacles and knives, and the leader was wearing a light blue robe, and without saying a word, he pulled out the knife and put it on his neck. He shouted: "The murderer is not yet restrained!" ”

Looking at the knife on his shoulder blankly, Luo Yun was stunned, he didn't expect this to happen, he ran to the yamen and surrendered by himself, how could he be arrested? Is it possible to tie yourself up?

"This ...... My lord, the grass people are here to surrender themselves, the grass people will not resist, did you put away the knife first? Luo Yun couldn't help but turn sideways, wanting to stay away from the blade, with a timid look.

The officials who surrounded Luo Yun were all stunned, is this a mistake? Zhao Si'er, that guy, bluffed and said that the murderer who made trouble in Pingkangfang had arrived at the yamen, and they thought that the murderer was going to attack the yamen. I didn't expect it to be such a powerless teenager.

All the officials looked at the county lieutenant headed by him, only to hear the county lieutenant glaring and shouting: "What are you doing here?!" ”

Luo Yun cautiously raised his hand and gestured, "Grass people...... Come and surrender. ”

The county lieutenant continued to stare at him: "What kind of case did you vote for!?" ”

"Pingkangfang Zhan Lu Lou made trouble and committed murder."
