Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

When Ying's mother saw us coming in, she hurriedly got up and said, "You two guests are tired after a long day, so let's rest here early, and Ying'er and I will go to the thatched hut in front of us to spend the night." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The people of heaven are always courteous and generous to their guests, and they would rather suffer some sins themselves than make them comfortable and satisfied." But the hut in front of it was really dilapidated and could not be accommodated. I said, "Auntie, rest here, and we can stay in that hut for the night." But Yingmu insisted, "You are guests." Guests are left to the host's bidding. With that, he took Ying'er and hugged the quilt to leave.

I hurriedly said to Ying's mother, "Auntie, wait for me to introduce you to this son." He is the current king, and he made a special trip here to make a private visit to Weifu and secretly investigate the case. If you have any grievances, just tell the king. When Yingmu and Ying'er heard this, they were surprised, and they didn't know what to say for a long time. Ying Mu said in disbelief, "You are the king?" The king nodded kindly. Yingmu still couldn't believe it, and said, "Are you really the king?" The king smiled slightly, and took out a self-signed edict to Yingmu and Ying'er.

Yingmu and Ying'er read the king's edict, so they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "I didn't know that the king was coming, and I was offended and rude, so I ask the king to forgive me." The king hurriedly said, "What is the sin?" Hurry up, get up, get up. But Yingmu and Ying'er refused to get up, crying out for wrong, and asked the king to be the master for them. The king asked them to calm down, saying, "If there is anything wronged, please tell them slowly." ”

Ying's mother said, "Governor Wei's death was not poisoned by my son, he is probably killed by the Shang Nan guards of the Taocun Council. The king was stunned and said, "What do you mean by that?" Please elaborate slowly. Mother Ying got up and sat down on the small stool opposite the king, and continued, "When Governor Wei came to the house that day, he and my son were locked in the house and had a secret talk. I knew that they were talking about the king's sudden death in Momomura, so I went out with Ying'er to avoid it. As soon as Ying'er and I went out, we met in front of the door with the Shang Nan guard from Peach Village. I once heard my son say that this person is not right, full of tricks, colluding with the owner, specializing in the kind of greedy money and stealing women; He also said that the murder of the king was probably the murder of this man. This man has never associated with us, and he has come here today for a purpose. Ying'er and I pretended not to know him, so we passed by him. When he saw us, he looked a little flustered, and he pretended to be okay and walked towards the west side of the village. ”

The king could not help but let out an "oh" and said, "Please tell the old woman what is going on." Ying's mother said, "I heard my son say that on the night the king was killed, he was supposed to spend the night in the Taocun Mansion, but the owner of the village said that Miss Qingxia was slightly unwell and it was inconvenient to go out, so he asked the king to go to Yichun Courtyard to sleep." At that time, my son was to be accompanied by the guard, but the owner of the village asked the king to leave my son in the council, and asked the guard named Shang Nan to accompany the guard. The next morning, the sleeping girl found that the king was stiff and had long since lost her breath, so she went to the next door in horror and called the owner. The owner of the village was shocked, so he immediately sent someone to report to the palace. In less than an hour or two, the prime minister and the lieutenant arrived with the royal palace doctor. After being examined by the imperial doctor, it was said that he had died of a sudden illness. But my son saw with my own eyes that the king's body had been scrubbed with a damp cloth, and that there were faint black blood clots on the nose and the corners of his mouth, which was a clear sign of poisoning. However, the imperial doctor and the lieutenant insisted that it was a sudden death, and the prime minister concluded the case in a hurry.

After that, my son was dismissed and returned home, and he farmed at home, and never proposed this again. On that day, Governor Wei came to my house to investigate the matter, and my son told the Governor what he knew and thought, and he wanted to re-investigate the case, and there must be a clear judgment, but he didn't want to, before Ying'er and I returned from a relative's house, the neighbor ran to say that something had happened to my family, and the Governor Wei of the palace was poisoned, and my son was also drunk and taken away by the Taocun Deliberations, and Shangnan's guards were looking for me and Ying'er everywhere. As soon as I heard this, I knew that something was wrong, and I fled that night into the reeds in the depths of this shallow lake. Later, I secretly went back to the village once, saw that the door of the house had been sealed, and heard that my relatives and my son were interrogated by the prime minister and the governor that night, and were escorted to Dongshan before dawn the next day. As a result, Ying'er and I will not be able to return to Taocun. I know that someone is assassinating the governor of the palace Wei, and then blame my son. I knew my son would never do such a harmful thing, and my family didn't even have arsenic. ”

At this time, Ying's mother was already in tears and couldn't cry. The king said to his mother in a tone of self-reproach, "The Father of Heaven created the kingdom of heaven and strived to make it a paradise for the good. There are a series of murders in the country today, and the investigation of the cases is wrong, and the innocent are wronged, which is really the guilt of the widow, and the shame of the heavenly father and ancestors. But please worry about the mother and daughter, I will investigate this case openly and secretly, and we need to find out the truth, the truth and falsehood are clear, so that the perpetrator will be guilty and punished, and it will be difficult to escape the responsibility. After saying that, the king asked Ying'er to help her mother down and comfort her.

At this time, the night was dark, Ying'er cleaned up the bed for us, and went to spend the night in the broken hut with her mother with a broken quilt. I sat down with the king for a while, and decided to hurry back early tomorrow morning, so that I could immediately send someone to Peach Village to bring the owner and his guards into the palace for interrogation.

Under the bed was a thick reed, and a mattress was spread on the reeds, and it was very soft and comfortable to sleep on. After a hard day's work, I was so tired that I lay down in bed and fell asleep. But the king woke me up and said he couldn't sleep. I asked him why he had insomnia. He said he could see Ying'er as soon as he closed his eyes. I said, "I'm afraid that Your Majesty loves Ying'er?" The king only sighed softly, without squeaking. I was so sleepy that after a while, I fell back into a dream.

I didn't know what to do, but I felt as if my face was being rubbed by something wet, and because I was still sleepy and my brain was not clear, I couldn't recognize it right away. But, soon I felt something, something was licking me with my tongue. At this thought, my heart suddenly became frightened, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a huge wolf right in front of me, and that peculiar aura made me nauseous, and I couldn't help screaming, and hurriedly wrapped my head in the quilt.

The king was awakened and asked me what was wrong. I said, "Wolf, wolf is licking me with its tongue." The king hurriedly took up his sword from the bedside, got up and went out of the hut, looked around for a long time, and said, "Where are the wolves?" You're just dreaming, aren't you? I was still shocked and said, "It's just that there are wolves that lick my face." Then the king put his sword beside the bed, and went into the bed, yawning, and said, "Sleep, what is the wolf afraid of?" He snored. But I couldn't sleep anymore.
