Chapter 21 The Wind Rises on the Mountain
The news that Luo Yun unexpectedly and successfully avoided the court trial and was directly detained and imprisoned soon reached the ears of Mrs. Li, who was about to leave the city. The head of the jaw said that he knew, so he asked the maid who was passing the message to step back and put down the curtain casually.
Duchess Wei Guo said that she would take the three daughters in red out of the city for a safari, so she naturally did what she said. After breakfast, I cleaned up and went out. It's just that it is rare that there is no horseback, but a carriage is laid out, and there is a guard in front of the road, accompanied by a servant girl next to the frame, and a servant leading the horse behind the carriage. And the wanted red-clothed did not hide in the car. Mrs. Li lent her white horse, dressed in red, dressed in a beard, carrying two Yue Nu swords, a Huanghua hunting bow in her saddle, and two pots full of white feather arrows.
Although there is Mi Luo to cover his face, this tall posture and heroic dress still attract passers-by to stop and watch, if you don't know that it is a woman, you would simply admire who this is the young general. To see the signs of the Patriotic Mansion and the carriage. Passers-by suddenly realized, thinking that they had guessed who was riding the horse.
The carriage of Yipin Guogong is more spacious, the carriage is tuned and tuned, Luan Nier sits on her knees to cook tea, Mrs. Li leans lazily on the cushion, her hands support her forehead, and her phoenix eyes seem to be closed and open, as if she is sleeping.
Lang Xuan often tuned and tried to tune Xuan, and his ears were the most sensitive, and she also heard a few words when the maid outside the car whispered to Mrs. Li just now. mentioned Li Gongzi, who left in the morning, and Chang'an County Ya or something. Looking at Mrs. Li's expression at this time, it seemed that she was thinking about something again. Secretly gave Luan Nier a look, but didn't get a response, she couldn't help but be angry, her fingers couldn't help but be heavy, and she dialed out a pop. When he woke up, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Mrs. Li didn't respond, and he was secretly worried about how Hongyi agreed to Mrs. Li to ride a horse outside, and there was no one to discuss at the moment.
"the Xuan girl, what are you thinking about in your little head?"
Mrs. Li suddenly opened her mouth and woke up Lang Xuan, squinting at the slightly lost appearance of this always calm girl, and the corners of her mouth pulled up a faint arc: "Among the three girls, you have the most ideas and thoughts." If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid the red clothes would still be waiting to die in that Zhan Lu Building. But I don't have to think so much about it, if there is anything I want to know, just ask. ”
Lang Xuan lowered his head and said, "The slave doesn't dare." Then Fang Fang raised his head to look at Mrs. Li, and asked bluntly: "Why did Madame say that the three of us can't leave today?" ”
Mrs. Li opened her eyes and looked at Lang Xuan and the cautious Luan Nier, and said in her heart that these three girls really have their own interests, but it is a pity that they can't stay by their side. "You have decided to go, and when the time comes, I will naturally send you out. But don't look at us today, we can be so ostentatious and no one investigates, it's because the Wei family hasn't linked this case to me and the Weiguo Mansion. So it's natural for you to follow me. But ......"
"Don't underestimate Jingzhao Merriam-Webster. Webster's inheritance has been nearly 1,000 years, and in this Jingzhao realm, it is not just as simple as a snake on the ground, they are sitting tigers. Although for them, this is just a trivial matter in the military mansion, as long as they use a little energy to search. This Chang'an City is easy to get out, but Jingzhao Mansion is difficult to move an inch. If you three are allowed to run around like headless flies, it is better for you and Yun Boy to hide in his cottage. ”
Mrs. Li's last sentence was in exchange for Luan Nier's nod of approval, and angrily pulled Xuan's hand hidden under the long sleeve and twisted Luan Nier fiercely. Luan Nier was caught off guard and screamed in pain, making Mrs. Li cover her lips and laugh. Lang Xuan thinks the most, Hongyi's mind is the most unpredictable, and Luan Nier's mind is the most simple and straightforward, but it's a pity that ......
"Madam, that Li Gongzi ......"
Interrupting Lane Xuan's words with a wave of her hand, Mrs. Li sat up and drank a cup of Luan Nier's tea: "I know what you want to ask." Yun Xiaozi's mind can't be hidden, he has caused so much trouble for Hongyi, how can he leave so easily. Stretched out his hand and lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at the heroic woman on the horse, and suddenly remembered that he had fought with his husband back then, time passed so fast, and he sighed in his heart, and said slowly: "Other things, now that you know it, it is useless." He chuckled lightly and looked meaningfully at the red-clothed figure outside the car: "Young Mu Ai always does something stupid, and I am not his relative and elder, so I can't dissuade him much." Since there is no worry about life, why not suffer more, otherwise how can you win the favor of the girl. ”
Lang Xuan didn't understand the meaning of Mrs. Li's words, so he couldn't guess what that Li Gongzi was doing. She wanted to figure out the purpose of today's trip, and if Madame Lee really just wanted to go out of the city for a safari, there was no need for Webster to take them with her. "Madame took us out of the city today, does it have anything to do with Gongzi Li?"
"It can't be said to be completely unrelated. Yun Boy is in trouble, and the elders in the family always have to worry about it. Counting the footsteps of Cheng Wu's father and son, I'm afraid it should be back today. No matter which elder of the Li family comes, if the three of you want to have a place to return, it's always good to meet now. Ignoring Xuan's disapproval and Luan Nier's nervousness, Mrs. Li looked out the window leisurely and continued: "What's more, if Yun Boy speaks, it counts. I'm afraid they're coming with two tigers...... Chang'an City is now very strictly inspected, if you don't go out of the city to respond, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter. ”
Mrs. Li expected it to be good, almost at the same time as the frame went out of the city. Li Jiazhai and his entourage also rushed to Yunxian Residence. Because of the large number of people and two big tigers on this trip, a carriage really can't fit it. Li Zhencai originally thought that Yunxian Ju would find a way to find a carriage. I don't want Aunt Mei to pull out the green cow in the family directly.
This big cow can be regarded as watching the two tigers grow up, but he is not afraid of them. Moreover, the two tigers together weigh hundreds of pounds, and a single horse really can't pull it. In this way, Aunt Mei and Mu'er drove the ox cart, Cheng Wu, and Kun'er drove the carriage with the old lady. Li Zhenan refused to take the carriage and followed the carriage with his head held high. When I arrived at Yunxian Residence, I saw a merchant with a few handsome horses. turned his head and found that Aunt Mei's face was not red, and she opened her mouth to beg for money to buy a horse.
Since Lijiazhai began to prepare for the construction of the reservoir, it is no secret that Aunt Mei has kept a large amount of money for Luo Yun. Although Lijiazhai now has some business industry, if you want to buy a good horse, I am afraid that Yunxianju will not be able to pay so much cash for a while. Aunt Mei hasn't gone down the mountain for more than ten years, and she was in a trance all the way. Hearing Li Zhen'an's loud voice, Aunt Mei looked at Li Zhen'an a little blankly, and then turned her head to look at the handsome horses, which were indeed rare horses.
After being stunned for a while, Su Mei turned around and touched the package in the car, and found a piece of gold cake, and handed it to Li Zhen'an without looking at it: "Buy two." Ah Wu can also ride horses. ”
Li Zhenan didn't expect Su Mei to be so arrogant, but he was rough and didn't care much, so he took the gold and went to Li Zhencai and asked him to negotiate the price with the merchant.
Just as the old lady arranged on the mountain, of course, there were more than these two cars and six people who came to Yunxian Residence. Li Zhencai gathered ten children of the Li family, hid the hunting bow knife and gun in the car, and came to Yunxian Ju together in the name of repairing the house.
The group did not stop at Yunxian Ju, took some dry food and raw meat, and when they went on the road again, Li Zhenan and Cheng Wu each rode a tall horse to lead the way. It added a bit of momentum to the originally shabby ox cart and horse-drawn carriage.
It will take time for the two teams to meet. However, in Chang'an City, with Luo Yun's imprisonment. The news of the arrest of the suspect in the Zhanlulou disturbance and injury case spread far and wide, and quickly reached the ears of the Wei family. The local snakes who had just arranged for the city gates to keep an eye on were a little stunned when they heard the news. They haven't started looking for it yet, so why did they get back to the police? It seems that the Wei family's bounty will not be available.
"Surrendered!?" Wei Yi forgot the pain in shock, and sat up with his arms propped up. Although he always believed that those people couldn't escape, he didn't expect to find them so quickly, so he still took the initiative to surrender. Then he didn't have a chance to lynch him. "Those have all surrendered?!"
"Back to the young master, there is only one person who has turned in. It's still a man. ”
"Male?" Wei Yi was stunned for a moment before remembering the white-clothed young man he pointed out as his concubine: "That adulterer? Didn't you say that there was no news of him, why did he suddenly surrender? What about the slut in red? ”
"There was only one man, and none of the others showed up. That...... There's no news from that monster either. But listening to the meaning of the messenger, Chang'an County has determined that the person is the culprit. The prefectural order has been written and the file has been submitted to the Jingzhao Prefecture. ”
Wei Yi couldn't react to what was going on, and felt pain in his back, so he fell down again. "Send someone to Chang'an County to ask about the details of that person and the whereabouts of that scumbag. Ask clearly, come back and report to me. ”
"No. The little ones are going. ”
Wei Yi beckoned the maid to continue fanning his back, squinting his eyes and lying on the couch, he couldn't figure out the thoughts of the person who surrendered, and then he didn't think about it, and began to think about how to catch those fugitive slaves, and then find an opportunity to torture them personally.
But what he didn't expect was that this time the news was fed back faster. Before noon, the slave who had heard the news returned.
"Jingzhao people? Not a child of the world? ”
"No."
"Raising tigers since childhood?! How did he bring the tiger into the city? ”
"Said it was hidden in a carriage......"
"What about the three fugitives? Ran away? ”
"I said that I was put in Mt. Jungnam with the tiger......
Wei Yi's eyes were about to pop out, and he scolded: "Bluffing ghosts!" Chang'an County Order also believed?! ”
The officer said that the new Miao County Commander of Chang'an County had already reported the confession to Jingzhao Mansion. It is said that the fugitive slave can continue to be pursued, but the case can be closed. ”
"Case closed!?" Wei Yi's voice was already a little revealing: "The three fugitive slaves were not found, and the injured tiger was not hunted, so a kid who came out of nowhere surrendered, and the case was closed!?" That's how Chang'an County handles the case? ”
"This ...... The little ones don't know. But the officer said one more thing. It is said that the suspect Li Luoyun was in a cell arranged by Zheng Zhushu himself. ”
Wei Yi's brows furrowed, a county lord is a parent official in the common people, but in front of him, he is not as good as a fart. But Master Zheng's approach revealed one point, this Li Luoyun was by no means from a civilian background like he said, and there was no background behind him. This also explains why the Chang'an County Order wanted to close the case so hastily.
"Does he close the case if he wants to? How can we say that we are also the plaintiffs who were beaten, don't we open a court for interrogation, skip my Wei family and make a direct judgment? "Things are developing too fast, which makes Wei Yi a little unprepared, but he is confident that the Wei family's power in Jingzhao Mansion will never let a small Chang'an county magistrate ignore him so much." Go, and then send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate. Look at the attitude over there. Then go to Xiaosi and ask him to find a way to stuff a few people for me to go to the Chang'an County prison. ”
"No, let's arrange it for the little ones."
The attitude of the Jingzhao Mansion is that there is no attitude. At least Miao County Ling didn't feel that Lord Jing Zhaoyin had any bias in this matter. With a humble smile, he said goodbye to the subordinate officials who sent him out, and turned his head, Miao Xian Ling's face could no longer see the joy that he had just been praised by Lord Jing Zhaoyin. Li Luoyun is right, he is official in this case, and it will only benefit him. But there is always some indescribable unsteadiness in my heart. With his right hand, he pinched the piece of paper in his sleeve. Li Luoyun's confession written by himself was there. Presented to the Jingzhao Yamen file was a confession written separately by the county office.
Miao County Ling helped conceal Li Luoyun's hometown, and only said that he was from Jingzhao Mansion. Other than that, nothing has been changed. The content of the letter with Li Luoyun was only changed to the arrangement of the day after the incident.
Li Luoyun said that he returned to the city after putting the tiger and the three fugitive slaves in Zhongnan Mountain. Because he was lodged in Qingyun Temple, he was afraid of affecting the Taoist of the Guanzhong, so he didn't go back. But he was afraid that if he didn't say goodbye, the Taoist would not be able to find him, and it would affect the Taoist to treat important patients, so he wrote a letter to inform the Taoist of what happened to him in Qingyun Guanzhong. Later, he was replied to by the chief, who knew him righteousness and understood the truth, so he suddenly woke up and came to surrender and confess his guilt......
When Miao Xian Ling first saw this document, he didn't think much about this paragraph, he didn't know who the Taoist of Qingyun Guan was, and he really thought that this Taoist was a master of the immortal family with a high level of Taoism, and he could enlighten people's hearts. After seeing Li Luoyun, he suddenly woke up when he heard him say Sun Simiao's name, but then something was wrong. Because the Weiguo Mansion also appeared, but Li Luoyun did not mention it in the document. So obviously, Li Luoyun did not come to surrender just because of Sun Daochang's persuasion as he said.
With this doubt, when writing the closing document, looking at this passage written by Li Luoyun again has some special meanings.
Who is Sun Simiao Sun Daochang, there are many powerful people in Chang'an City who are sick and not sick, but since Sun Daochang returned to Beijing a few days ago, there was no long queue in front of Qingyun Temple. Why? It's not because Sun Daochang is invited into the palace every day to diagnose the queen's mother, and he has no time to doppelganger at all. That being the case, what Li Luoyun said if he didn't say goodbye, he was afraid of delaying Sun Daochang's treatment. The implication is thought-provoking.
Miao Zheng was personally commented on by the chief of the Ministry of Officials, Lord Sun, and was promoted to Chang'an County. Naturally, I am grateful for the grace of the eldest grandson's promotion. Therefore, I am also very concerned about things related to the eldest grandson. The focus of this attention naturally includes the eldest grandson empress in the palace. There is no impermeable wall in this world, and what happened in the inner garden of the palace has always been the talk of the people after dinner. Duchess Wei Guo can know the news that the queen has taken the medicinal wine offered by Sun Daochang and her condition has improved. Miao County Ling is concerned, and naturally he can know almost the same news.
Miao County's order did not think that the medicine that cured the queen was given by Li Luoyun. He wanted Sun Daochang to take a dose of magic medicine, which must be made up of a variety of valuable medicinal materials. Li Luoyun was born in the mountains and was accompanied by a tiger, so he was able to collect some kind of precious medicinal materials for Sun Daochang. If this is the case, Li Luoyun is in a cage, and the Wei family is unrelenting, won't this case be delayed for a long time?
It is about the queen mother, even if it is just her own speculation, Miao County Ling does not dare to take this risk. Drink and stop the entourage, and pull the reins: "Turn around and go to the yamen of the ministry." ”
"No."
