Chapter 70: Giving
(Ask for collection)
Wang Yuan naturally didn't know any of the things that Gongsun Lan said, but Li Xin'er knew that every one of them was a big case in the capital. A snitch roams the house of the prince and the powerful in the capital as if there is nothing, stealing property and murder, and is extremely arrogant. And every time a case is done, there will always be a piece of paper that lists the reasons for the crime, indicating the meaning of punishment.
This snitch gave Jingzhao Mansion and the officers and soldiers of the two government offices a great headache, most of the people who were robbed and killed were figures from the powerful family, and their influence was even more amazing, Xuanzong was shocked to learn of this matter and also ordered a strict investigation to solve the case, but this snitch came and went without a trace, and there was no clue at all.
Li Xin'er is in the Luo Yi Gate, and she is naturally extremely concerned about such a thing, although Li Xin'er does not participate in the investigation of this matter, but as a person with strong martial arts in the door, she will inevitably be questioned. But Li Xin'er's martial arts are obviously not comparable to this snitch, and this person is walking on the ground in and out of the heavily guarded mansions in the capital, which Li Xin'er thinks she can't do.
Li Xin'er also once suspected that it was the master Gongsun Lan, but she quickly ruled out this idea, because in Li Xin'er's impression, the master Gongsun Lan Gufang would never do these things because of his self-appreciation and independence. And now when the master said that he was that person, how could he not surprise Li Xin'er.
"Original...... All this is done by the master? How is this possible? Xin'er really didn't know what to say. Li Xin'er muttered.
Gongsun Lan said solemnly: "The Tang Dynasty seems to be prosperous, and outsiders naturally can't see the clues, but I have been in the palace for several years, and I have been in contact with many powerful and powerful, but I know that there is dirt and dirt hidden outside this prosperous appearance. I can't go back to Zhongnan Mountain like those hermits, and I can't help but take care of all the injustices that happen under my nose, otherwise how can I be worthy of the skills that God has given me. ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said: "The reason is not clear, the court doesn't care, there is nowhere to complain about grievances, so I don't help every day, in this case, maybe it is the best choice to fight violence with violence." If there is no humanity in the world, he will do the right thing for heaven. Senior Gongsun, although I don't really agree with the act of countering violence with violence, I really admire you for daring to act and not being a person who is insensitive. ”
Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "I'm very happy that Prince Wang can say that." ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Although I have no power to restrain the chicken, I also have a tiger in my heart. In the world of the jungle, if you can't abandon the cowardice in your heart, you can only be bullied and insulted by others. ”
Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "There is a tiger in the heart, what you said is very interesting, but it is very appropriate." ”
Wang Yuan said: "I won't say much about thanks, with your help, I'm afraid my little life will not be easy to lose." ”
Li Xin'er grinned and said: "It's not easy to lose, Lord Yan can't take it away in person, the master and I are by your side, unless Li Linfu mobilizes all his masters to kill you, they will never succeed." ”
Gongsun Lan shook her head and said: "Xin'er, don't take it lightly, the eleven masters under Li Linfu are not idle people, I can only fight against three or five of them, if I come to kill Wang Yuan together, no one can save him." It's just that they just want to secretly do something to Wang Yuan, how can they mobilize the people? Let's put this matter aside for the time being, now we have to think about what happens after tonight, Wang Yuan, what are your plans? ”
Wang Yuan said: "I think after dawn, let's still find a way to return to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to settle down, although Li Shizhi is a hypocrite, but the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion can still be our foothold for the time being, and then think about what to do?" As for how to deal with Wang Ji and Li Linfu, I still have no clue. ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Okay, let's go to Li Shizhi's mansion to settle down first, and then make plans, there is really no good way at present." But it's only four watches now, and there are still more than an hour before dawn, so let's quickly pack up our things, there is still something to do before dawn. ”
Wang Yuan and Li Xin'er asked together, "What's the matter?" ”
Gongsun Lan smiled slightly and said, "I'll know when the time comes." ”
The three of them immediately took action to start packing up their things, Wang Yuan also followed to help, there are really a lot of things in the plum garden, Gongsun Lan has dozens of sets of clothes, shoes and hats alone, plus a lot of musical instruments such as Yaoqin, bamboo flute, pan flute, etc., plus exquisite dishes, teacups and other things, each thing is extremely delicate and thoughtful in Wang Yuan's opinion, and it seems that these things are also very valuable, it is really difficult to choose.
Gongsun Lan came out of the wing room with a small wooden box, frowned and looked at the mountain-like things piled up on the bamboo mat and said, "What are these things moving here for?" ”
Wang Yuan was still busy taking things out of the house, and at this moment he was still holding two delicate vases in his hands, and when he heard the words, he said, "Don't you have to take these things away?" It's not easy to procure. ”
Gongsun Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "I can give up this garden, and I still care about these things?" You don't have to take anything with you, just a few sets of clothes, and leave the rest. ”
Wang Yuan wiped his sweat and said, "None of them?" It's a pity. ”
Gongsun Lan said: "If you want to say it's a pity, is it a pity to have my plum garden?" I plant and take care of everything here, and if you have the ability, you can carry it on your shoulders with this garden. ”
Wang Yuan said speechlessly: "I'm just a little distressed, I'm afraid it cost you a lot of money to buy these things." ”
Gongsun Lan smiled slightly and said: "The plum garden cost seven hundred, and the things here also cost hundreds of yuan, and the entire plum garden cost me about more than a thousand." It's not about money and things, it's the effort spent that is the most precious. ”
Wang Yuan smacked his tongue and said: "What I said is that the hard work is the most precious, but it is also painful to waste money, and if you are tossed by us like this, you will not return to your blood." ”
Gongsun Lan smiled and said: "This account is on you, and you will return it to me in the future." ”
Wang Yuan said: "It should be so, this is all for me, I, Wang Yuan, swear here, if I make a career in the future, I will return you an identical plum garden." It's true that these things can't be taken away, but don't worry, after leaving here, we still don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and I still have a lot of rewards from Li Shizhi after winning the championship in the poetry club, which is enough for us to spend a year and a half. ”
Li Xin'er sighed speechlessly on the side: "Erlang, my master is going to spend Li Shizhi's money?" You don't know how rich my master is, there are many rich people in the capital, but my master is no worse than them. The things and the garden here are just a drop in the bucket for my master. ”
Wang Yuan was startled, seeing that Gongsun Lan had an inquiring meaning in his eyes, Gongsun Lan smiled slightly, reached out and opened the lid of the small wooden box in his arms, and suddenly the room was full of brilliance, almost blinding Wang Yuan's eyes. But when he saw that the box was full of gold, silver, and jewelry, the box was full of gold, silver, and jewelry, and he suddenly opened his mouth wide
Although Wang Yuan didn't know much about jewelry, looking at the warm and round beads, the brilliant gems, and the yellow, orange and orange gold ingots, Wang Yuan understood in his heart how great the value of the things in this box should be in this era of the copper standard.
Li Xin'er said with a smile: "Look stupid, any Nanzhu in it is worth 100 yuan, and you still need to worry about the money for food and clothing?" ”
Wang Yuan opened his mouth wide and swallowed and spitted: "Where are so many treasures?" Gongsun's predecessor turned out to be a rich man in this capital, and I am afraid that so much money is enough to spend several lifetimes. Yes, I have done so many big cases, and naturally I have made a lot of money. ”
Gongsun Lan closed the lid of the box and reprimanded: "Don't say nonsense, I didn't take any of the money I took from those people's homes for myself, I used it to help the poor, and the money and things here were all saved by myself." ”
After that, wrap the box into the package with a cloth towel, start to check the clothes and other items you want to take away, and carefully wrap the package.
Wang Yuan's face was full of disbelief, how could there be a reason for geese not to pluck their feathers, if it was himself, he would always have to keep a part of his own expenses. If people don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, can this sentence be wrong?
Li Xin'er leaned into Wang Yuan's ear and whispered: "Erlang, don't believe it, the occasions when my master performed sword dances when he was young were all major royal mansions and Guogong mansions, and they were all heavily hired by the wealthy family, and there were countless rewards for a dance. When he was in the palace, His Majesty rewarded money and goods every once in a while, and the copper coins, red silk cloth, antiques and other things that were rewarded were replaced by the master for easy-to-carry jewelry, gold and other things. Now you can understand why my master is so rich. ”
Wang Yuan said suddenly: "I see, I forgot that your master is the number one sword dancer in the Tang Dynasty, no wonder your master is disdainful of the things left here, it turns out that she doesn't care at all." ”
The three of them packed up three large packages, and most of the rest were piled on the ground, and although they were all delicate things, they could no longer be taken away; Gongsun Lan took out three black night cloaks, and the three of them covered their robes, packed up and each came outside with a large package on their backs.
Gongsun Lan stood quietly, slowly looking at the dimly lit plum garden under the afterglow of the new moon in the west, there was a lot of nostalgia in her eyes, but she quickly regained her calm, reached out and tore off the lantern under the corridor, and threw it into the things that were piled up into the house into a hill. The lantern burned, quickly burning the piles of clothes, and the flame rose rapidly.
Gongsun Lan turned around and said in a low voice: "Let's go, go west into the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the fire will definitely alarm the Fangding, let's take advantage of the chaos to get out of the Fang." ”
The three of them walked through the plum garden to the west, climbed over the outer wall of the plum garden, crossed the alley, and then climbed over the wall of the Great Ci'en Temple into the mountain behind the temple, and stopped to look back after a while, but saw a dazzling red light rising in the plum garden, under the dark sky, the fire rose to the sky, obviously the three houses in the plum garden have also been on fire, and it will not be long before everything in the plum garden will be burned.
Soon after, the sound of gongs in the workshop was everywhere, the voices of the people were boiling, the night patrol fang Ding saw the fire gong and sounded the alarm, and the people near the left also got up to check, and suddenly there was movement in the meditation room of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and the monks also got up and rushed to extinguish the fire with a wooden barrel broom.
Gongsun Lan said in a low voice: "Let's go!" ”
The three of them quickly climbed over the west wall of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, and after a while, they came to the bottom of the wall, and they didn't see how Gongsun Lan behaved, so they only ran a few steps and went up to the wall like a cat, but they saw her bend down and observe for a moment, waved her hand and dropped the black cloth belt, Li Xin'er grabbed the cloth belt and went up the wall lightly, without wasting her strength at all, and when she arrived at Wang Yuan, she was embarrassed and had to tie the cloth belt around her waist, Li Xin'er pulled Wang Yuan, who was stiff and didn't know how to borrow strength, like pulling a bucket of dung.
