A noisy sound came from outside the door, waking up Li Wenge from his sleep and rubbing his eyes, and when he looked at it, he saw that the mother had just woken up, and her sleepy eyes were arranging her hair in front of a bronze mirror. As soon as his body moved, the recliner made a creaking sound, which suddenly alarmed Yiniang, who was dressing up, she turned her head and smiled and said: "The adult is awake, please wait, Yiniang will wait for the adult to freshen up!" ”

Li Wenge put his shoes on his feet, got up and moved his muscles, thinking back on last night's experience, and couldn't help but feel funny and funny. Yesterday, Yiniang was going to play one song after another, chanting and singing, and he was so intoxicated that he couldn't help himself, and he fell asleep in the melodious sound of the piano and singing. Now when I woke up, I suddenly thought that I had been alone with this Qinglou woman in this room for a night, and I actually slept on the recliner all night, and I didn't do any romantic things, although I originally came here to hide people's eyes, and I didn't plan to really do anything bad, but I didn't get fishy at all when I lived with a fireworks girl all night, and I was afraid that no one would believe it at all......

was secretly smiling bitterly, Xiang Yiniang had already cleaned herself up, got up and picked up Li Wenge's robe, gently spread it on the bed, gently smoothed the folds on it with her hands, turned around and came to Li Wenge's side, and said softly: "Adults can sit in front of the mirror, and the concubine combs her hair as an adult!" ”

Li Wenge stroked his hair, smiled lightly, sat in front of the bronze mirror, let Yiniang break up the hair he had pulled up, combed it gently, and said with a faint smile: "I'm tired that you have been with me all night." It's been a hard work......"

Yiniang smiled: "My lord said politely, are you a guest, it is the little woman's duty to wait for the adult, and the ancestor passed down the mantle to teach the concubine to have a bowl of rice to eat, how dare she be hard!" ”

Li Wenge couldn't help but smile: "You can see it!" ”

Yiniang said lightly: "People are precious in contentment, although this is a land of fireworks, the wind can't blow and the rain can't hit it." You don't have to worry about food and clothing. Now the way of the world. The concubine is a weak woman, what else do you ask for? ”

Li Wenge nodded, but this Yiniang's heart was open-minded enough, and he asked in a deep voice: "You have been with me for a night, but I have never asked your name, just a mother and a mother, and I am not respectful." Do you have a surname, would you like to tell you? ”

Yiniang said with a smile: "My lord is strange, our daughters in Qinglou only have a flower name, and there are many guests who come and go, and they only call flower names, and there are very few people who ask for surnames. The last name doesn't matter. What a person. Deigned to ask the little woman's surname, didn't he kill the little girl? ”

Li Wenge touched his nose: "Identity is originally something outside the body, and life does not bring it to death." Does it matter? You play the music well, and you sing the song quite beautifully, I want to ask your surname, what's wrong with it? ”

Yiniang sank and said softly: "The little woman's surname is Luo, Luo Bin King's Luo!" ”

Li Wenge nodded: "Good name, in terms of name alone, the word Yiniang is mediocre, plus a Luo character, the level of artistic conception is suddenly different, Ling Zun Lingtang is really good at naming, elegant...... Tasteful......"

Yiniang laughed again, but this time she didn't say anything more, Li Wenge frowned and said, "Why is it so noisy outside?" ”

Luo Yiniang didn't smile this time, and said lightly: "A lonely old man died downstairs, and Zhang Mingfu is taking the team leader and the gang to do an autopsy." ”

Li Wenge was stunned, as the supreme ruler of a border town, at this moment Li Wenge has gradually become indifferent to the death of such a person, just last night, under his order, nearly ten lives in Luoyang City were quietly erased, among which there were the dead, but there were also innocent. Li Wenge himself has some inexplicable feelings about this point, and it is not benevolent to Tuoba Guangyan's family, but a relatively long-term national policy, and Li Wenge does not have any special feelings about this, and saving Qin Zhaoduan and his mother is completely his instinctive pleasure as a future person to protect women and children from harm. On the one hand, Luoshui's grain transportation is related to the grain supply and strategic reserves of the nine counties of Yanzhou, which are not completely self-sufficient in agriculture at present, and on the other hand, such thunderous means must be used to deter those local snakes in an area that cannot be covered by their own forces, otherwise it will be difficult for their intelligence network and potential influence to extend here.

Despite this good reason, Li Wenge felt that he was conflicted, and this was the first time since the crossing that he had put the lives of others at the mercy of his own hands.

At this moment, when he heard Yiniang talk about the death of a person downstairs, his first reaction was surprise, both surprised by his indifference and strange Yiniang's blandness. In any case, it was a strange thing for a prostitute to be so open to a murder case.

Five generations and ten countries, human life is like mustard......

He sighed and asked, "Yiniang, how old are you?" ”

"How can an adult ask such a ......" Yiniang laughed again, "But the adult is Guigeng?" ”

"I'm thirty-two—" Li Wenge replied without mind.

Luo Yiniang's hand paused slightly, and only after a while did she gently reply: "The concubine is twenty-eight years old this year, just four years younger than the adult......

Li Wenge sighed: "You must have seen a lot of joys and sorrows, life and death, right?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

Luo Yiniang's hand stopped.

Li Wenge shook his head gently: "From the sound of your piano, you don't have enough life experience, and you will never be able to play such a varied and durable tune." The sound of your piano is like how many people have been crushed by life, crushing the weak to pieces, but then they are dead and alive...... I don't know the rhythm, but I can also hear the poignant stories contained in the music, one is indeed your fingering is superb, and the other is that it also proves that you have a miserable past that ordinary people can't match......"

Luo Yiniang stood quietly behind Li Wenge, silent.

"There's a dead person downstairs, and you're a girl who doesn't panic. You can still comb my hair here with a calm demeanor, and if you are not a person who is accustomed to seeing the state of life and death, you can't ...... it."

Luo Yiniang was silent for a long time before her hands began to move again, but Li Wenge could feel it, her hands trembled slightly, and this mediocre-looking but excellent piano prostitute said softly in a dull tone: "...... There are people dying every day in this world, and for every person who dies, many people are sad. Concubines are also mortals. It's a pity that there is nothing to hurt anymore...... Some died. People all over the world will sigh for it, and some people are dead, but it is the justice of the heavenly cycle......"

At this moment, a sign came from outside the door: "Humble Luoyang County Commander Zhang Tang, ask to see the festival marshal——"

Luo Yiniang's hand stopped again, Li Wenge lowered his head and sighed, and stood up. tidied up his clothes and said loudly: "Please come in Zhang Mingfu to talk......

The door opened, and Zhang Tang walked in with a middle-aged scribe with a mediocre appearance, and saw Li Wenge disheveled, with an imperceptible smile flashing on his face.

Li Wenge felt slightly embarrassed, but he couldn't immediately open his mouth to explain that he didn't do anything with Yiniang that night, which seemed to be even more embarrassing.

Zhang Tang said: "Jie Shuai, please forgive me for being rude." Last night, there was a murder in the building. In the body of humble duties, it should be inspected, and I hope that the handsome Haihan is one! ”

Li Wenge nodded: "You don't have to be polite. But they don't know who the dead are? ”

"The deceased is Luo Yanjie, the third lang of the Taiyuan Luo clan, whose father was the first Luoyang Duke, the first famous minister, and after being loyal to Liang, he was stabbed to death with a sharp blade in the Manqing Courtyard last night......"

Luo Zhongbao?? Li Wenge tried hard to search for such a character in his mind, but he couldn't think of a very famous person with this name.

He nodded, vaguely answering.

Zhang Tang glanced at him, and said: "The festival marshal knows that Luo Gong's direct name is already known to women and children in Luoyang, and now that his son has been killed, he is the commander of the order, and he must always give Li Shu an explanation......"

A name suddenly appeared in Li Wenge's mind, and he said with some surprise: "Is Luo Zhonggong Lord Luo Guan the Luoyang Commander under the death rod of the Later Tang Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Tang nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Li Wenge was secretly shocked in his heart, Luo Guan was angry with Tang Zhuangzong because he offended Zhang Quanyi, and was killed by the wronged rod, and the people of Luoyang were unjust, which was a very famous case in the history of the five dynasties. Unexpectedly, nearly thirty years after his death, his son died by his side again, and he couldn't help but be puzzled for a while, and asked, "Has the murderer been caught?" ”

Zhang Tang shook his head and sighed: "The humble position is to ask the festival marshal, did you hear any movement last night?" ”

Li Wenge shook his head and said, "No! ”

Zhang Tang asked again: "May I ask the festival marshal, where is the festival commander after the ugly hour last night?" ”

This is to ask the alibi to prove that this Zhang Tang is treating himself as a suspect, Li Wenge was not annoyed, and was about to answer, but suddenly remembered something, his brows tightened, he raised his head and glanced at Zhang Tang, and then said slowly: "This town listened to the piano upstairs last night, and then rested——"

Zhang Tang nodded, and asked again, "Can anyone prove it?" ”

"It's rude for your county to ask such a question—"

It was Lu Duan who spoke, and he came to Li Wenge's door neatly dressed at this time, just in time for Zhang to inquire about Li Wenge's whereabouts last night.

"Lu Sicheng, this is the responsibility of this county, please forgive me!" Zhang Tang said to Lu Duan without humility or arrogance.

Li Wenge waved his hand: "It's okay—"

He stretched out his hand and pulled Yiniang's hand, and gently stroked it: "I have been listening to the piano in the room last night, and this young lady is a witness!" ”

Zhang Tang set his eyes on Yiniang, Luo Yiniang's expression was indifferent, and said: "Lord Jieshuai was in the room last night and never went out——"

Zhang Tang nodded, and asked again: "Then ...... this girl's witness?"

“…… The town had been in the room with the young lady and had never gone out, and the town had testified against her......"

Zhang Tang was speechless for a moment, so he had to bow down and say: "I have offended my humble position, please forgive me-"

"It's okay——!"

Zhang Tang slowly retreated. The door closed, Li Wenge continued to walk back to the bronze mirror and sat down, and said to Yiniang: "Continue to comb my hair!" ”

Yi Niang walked behind him, picked up the comb with a low smile, and said softly while holding Li Wenge's hair: "...... The adults have already guessed that the person was killed by the concubine, so why hide it for the concubine? ”

Li Wenge closed his eyes, took a tired breath, and said lightly: "I want to listen to your reason for killing alone......

……

"General Li seems to know something, but he is deliberately hiding it!"

Jiang Xu said in Zhang Tang's ear, Zhang Tang nodded, turned around and glanced at Kang Shishi, who was standing at the door of Li Wenge's room with a cold face, and said in a low voice: "It is impossible to investigate him publicly...... We still started with the Qinglou woman named Yingcui, who was the last person to see this Luo Guanren......"

……

“…… The concubine's mother was originally a talented woman with the same name as Aunt Zhuang in the Yuqing Pavilion, and she was perfect in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When the mother was popular, the limelight of Yuqing Pavilion even overshadowed the Manqing Academy, and countless princes and princes at that time spent a lot of money to see their mother but could not ...... Only Zhang Mingfu said that Luo Zhong Bao Gong is upright, a steel bone, and his mother is talented, but he ignores how many talented people he says, and he is moved by Zhong Bao Gong......"

Luo Yiniang gently combed Li Wenge's hair, and told the story of a romantic man and woman in Luoyang thirty years ago.

"Has the loyal praise duke abandoned the Lingtang from the beginning to the end?"

Li Wenge asked with a frown.

"How could it be—how could a loyal and honest man do such a thing?" Yi Niang flatly denied it.

"Zhong Bao Gong was originally going to redeem his mother, and then accept her as a concubine, but the main mother Hu had already agreed, but the Ling Dao case happened, and Zhong Bao Gong was put in prison by the unconscious king, and this matter did not come true."

Li Wenge nodded, secretly feeling sorry for Luo Guan in his heart, judging from his piano skills, his mother must have been a first-class female talent in Luoyang City when she was young.

Yiniang continued: "At that time, most of the civil and military ministers of the Guo Cheng Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty wrote to intercede for the loyal and praise of the public, hoping that the emperor could spare him from death. The people of Luoyang are even more jointly guaranteed, willing to protect their lives and be loyal to the public. My mother was pregnant with me at that time, running around begging for help, and even begging the princes and nobles who had admired her for a long time but could not get their long-cherished wishes, but unfortunately these efforts were ultimately in vain. Zhang Quanyi's old thieves and those officials made obstructions, and the emperor became more and more angry that Zhongbao Gong was popularized, and became more and more suspicious of the authority in the hands of Prime Minister Guo Cheng, not only refused to let Zhongbao Gong have a way to live, but was ready to copy his family and destroy his family......"

"Thanks to the news from someone with a heart, Mrs. Hu immediately sent the three sons back to their hometown in Taiyuan to hide and hide, so as not to be cut down by the imperial court."

"At that time, San Lang Yanjie was only two years old, and he didn't know the pain, so he ran out to play, failed to escape with his two older brothers, and was arrested by the official......"

At that time, the mother dragged her body and spent a lot of money to bribe the jailer, and went to see Zhong Baogong, who told her with apology at that time that she was afraid that she would not be able to repay this love debt in this life and this life. The mother was crying in prison and almost fainted, but Zhong Baogong wanted her to survive, and asked the mother to take care of the imprisoned San Lang, so as not to let him suffer too much. At that time, my mother used the body she had accumulated for many years to work up and down, and finally quietly rescued Saburo from prison......"

"At that time, Mrs. Hu had committed suicide by hanging herself, and my mother was pregnant with me and took San Lang with her, but she couldn't just leave like Mrs. Hu, so she could only grit her teeth and work hard to live up to the trust of her loyal and praised ......"

"After all, the matter is irreparable, Zhong Bao Gong finally died under the cane of the faint king, the mother was almost scattered at that time, so she had to collect the body for Zhong Bao Gong, bury it with Mrs. Hu, and set up a tombstone, this is the case of Zhao Xue after the new emperor ascended the throne, and gave the official name to the Zhong Bao Gong, the world only knows that Feng Xiangguo personally wrote the inscription for the Zhong Bao Gong, but I don't know that the tablet - it was erected by my mother!"

Li Wenge listened attentively, and suddenly a stirring spirit turned to look at Yiniang, and said in surprise: "You——? ”

Yiniang smiled: "My adult guessed well, my mother's surname is Luo, I am the widow left by Zhongbaogong, Luo Yanjie is my half-brother, and the concubine's real name is called Luo Yiniang......"
