Chapter 591: Follow the vine and touch the melon
In the box, Zhu Houzhao heard a sudden commotion from below, and couldn't help frowning: "Xu Xun has always had the means, and Gu Dayong is also a smart person, so let the two of them go down to invite a Yutangchun, as for the trouble, it became like this?" ”
Zhang Cai also felt strange, and was about to stand up to see what was going on, but there was a cough outside, followed by a guard's respectful voice: "Zhu Gongzi, Pingbei Bo and Gu Gonggong have passed the word, because something has happened, so please move for the time being, and talk to Yutangchun in another place." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became even more strange. After thinking for a long time, he stood up. When he came down from the stairs, he saw that the entire first floor was already full of plainclothes from the West Factory, and inexplicably he saw that Xu Xun was saying something to Gu Dayong, and immediately walked forward quickly, and asked angrily: "Hey, what's going on?" ”
"There is a big case, and Father-in-law Gu has to deal with it immediately." Xu Xun squinted at Liu Erhan, who was staring at Zhu Houzhao with a frightened face, and then said with a smile, "All in all, let's change places and talk about it in detail, there was a lot of trouble just now, and if someone comes down upstairs later, it will not look good if you bump into us." Liu Gongzi, since you are a frequent visitor here, it shouldn't be difficult to find a quiet place to talk to us, right? ”
Liu Erhan met Xu Xun twice, both times in this alley, once the long-coveted beauty fell into the hands of Qian Ning, but this time it was even more exaggerated, originally wanted to kiss Fang Ze, but it turned out to be such a bizarre case! However, he was just angry in his heart, but he had seen the little emperor with Liu Jin, and at this time he glanced at Zhu Houzhao again, and he finally agreed, and as soon as he turned his head, he shouted at a few dumbfounded entourage: "Did you hear it?" It's not enough for Wenxuan Yazhu, which I frequent, so let them quickly vacate a box...... No. It's for them to hurry up and clear the customers! ”
If it were someone else. Xu Xun may also say that he should not stir up the public, but since he is Liu Jin's nephew, he will not be so kind. When the carriage came, he asked Zhu Houzhao to go up first. When Zhang Cai also got into the car, he had to tell the story of the incident just now. When he said that Yutang Chunsu had a scale of gold, there were more than a dozen skeletons buried under the courtyard. And when he privately set up a brass pipe to listen, Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Cai's faces darkened at the same time.
"Lawlessness, this is simply lawlessness!" Zhu Houzhao didn't expect to encounter this kind of injustice when he came out casually. A fist smashed the wall of the carriage with a bang. "The feet of the Son of Heaven are all like this, let alone other places? If this is the case, I will not tolerate it, I will have to cut that damn mother-in-law with a thousand knives! ”
Where there is light, there is darkness, in contrast, Zhang Cai is more concerned about the brass listening. However. He didn't speak rashly, until Na Wenxuan Yazhu. Zhu Houzhao directly pushed the car door and jumped down, he grabbed Xu Xun's sleeve and asked: "Pingbeibo, can you think of setting up a brass pipe to listen in this kind of noisy place, I'm afraid only the factory guards, and only they have such courage, could it be Jinyiwei and Xichang?" ”
"It's okay, Grandpa Gu was next to me at that time, and I knew by looking at his face that it shouldn't be him. As for Jinyiwei, although the momentum is not as good as before, but think about it, among the factory guards, who has the longest time? Jin Yiwei's eyeliner is the most, and he won't use such a means that can't be put on the table! Believe it or not, if it is really the factory guard who does this kind of thing, then there are only two possibilities, either the East Factory, or the Insider Factory, and the Insider Factory may be the largest! You must know that Qian Ning has just accepted a weighing of gold as his daughter Shang Fenfen as a concubine. ”
Zhang Cai saw that Xu Xun finished speaking and got out of the car directly, he immediately followed without thinking, but after standing firmly, he couldn't help but whisper again: "If it's really Qian Ning, what should you do?" "...,"The insider factory is not under my control, what can I do?" He said this, but seeing Liu Erhan smiling at the door over there, Xu Xun smiled and said, "Qian Ning is too smart, he can even think of this kind of thing!" If only he could come to his senses, if not, then I have nothing to say! ”
Liu Jin's momentum is now big, and even with Liu Erhan, a nephew, he has a lot of face, just like this all the way by car, the huge Wenxuan Yazhu has been emptied. This is the same as the Qunfang Pavilion just now, it is just a place for guests to gossip and drink, and it is an elegant word, so it is naturally not a bustard mother who presides over here, but a middle-aged scribe. However, he made up a few words in front of Zhu Houzhao when he received the invincible three sects and nine streams on weekdays, but he was ignored by others, and he was deflated in front of Xu Xun, and finally had to retreat under Liu Erhan's warning eyes.
As soon as Zhu Houzhao entered the room, he recognized Yutangchun who was standing with his head down. Seeing that his hands exposed outside his sleeves were unharmed, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Qian, who had just been waiting in front of the door, and said with a smile: "Cao Qian, Xu Xun has always praised you in the past, and I still think that he is biased towards your Cao family, and I never thought that your strain and eyesight were as good." You never thought about kicking it, what if you kicked the wrist of the girl who was eating? ”
"Humble ...... At that time, I was afraid that she would stab her hard, and I didn't pay so much attention in a hurry. ”
Seeing Cao Qian's face full of ridicule, Xu Xun played a round for him and said: "Cao Qian can have such a strain at the last moment, and the result is very good, this is enough." If it was replaced by someone else, maybe before he moved, Yutangchun would have to die of incense. ”
Although Yutangchun didn't know what Zhu Houzhao's identity was, it could be seen that he and Xu Xun talked casually, gritted his teeth and simply knelt down: "The concubine has already decided to give up her life, and now she can get away with it, it is a thousand luck, and please don't blame this Cao Gongzi!" ”
"Don't blame, don't blame, don't I just say it casually?" Zhu Houzhao looked at Yutangchun with interest, and suddenly laughed, "I remember, when Qian Ning saved that He Cailian in Shacheng, and then made great achievements and hugged the beauty, it was a good story, but I didn't expect there to be such a pair of heroes and beauties today!" ”
Although Yutangchun is the first time to meet tonight, she has been taught by Yiliang Jin since she was a child. At this moment, she understood the meaning of Zhu Houzhao's words, she only felt a chuckle in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at Cao Qian. Although the man still had frostbite scars on his face, he was decisive when he saved himself before, and he was careful when he escorted him all the way. In addition, he is indeed a heroic man, and he is indeed the kind of person that countless women love the most. But. I just listened to the praise of the Pingbei uncle when he talked about this person. And he just claimed to be a lowly officer, he knew that he must have an official position, how can he be worthy?
It is better to be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife. But how many good endings do you have for such a high climb?
Come to think of it. She immediately kowtowed heavily and said, "Fortunately, the concubine can reveal such a case to the world, and she doesn't dare to have other extravagant requests." When the concubine fell into the dust. His parents died early and he was still young. I still remember that my hometown is in Suzhou! I have been away from my hometown for many years, and I don't know what the grave of my parents is like today, so I would like to return to my hometown to stay in front of my parents' grave, and I hope that my son will be perfect! ”
When Qian Ning and He Cailian met, Xu Xun once heard Qian Ning say. He Cailian suffered a tragic encounter and was taken away by the Tartars, but she hid her face and hidden her sharp blade. It can't be said that it is not strong, but in the end, although it would rather be a heroic concubine. But there's nothing wrong with that. Although there are some differences in today's scene, it is really the same. Therefore, listening to Yutangchun kowtowing and saying that he wanted to return to his hometown, he couldn't help but be slightly moved, and when he caught a glimpse of Cao Qian's face full of relief, he couldn't help but smile slightly. ..., too, that time it was the fire that met the dry wood, but this time it was just the little emperor shaving his head and picking his head hot...... No, to be more precise, it's completely the little emperor meddling, and no one or a couple of men and women have this meaning! It's a life-saving grace to promise each other, this is the plot of the novel!
Thinking of this, he saw that Zhu Houzhao's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he coughed dryly and said, "This is not simple, when this case is closed, I will order someone to escort you back to your hometown." Yutangchun, today in the public listening to your song "Ambush on All Sides", but there is a feeling of unfinished, now since there are no outsiders, you take out your best skills to play a song, as a thank you gift! ”
Zhu Houzhao, who loves to watch heroes and beauties the most, didn't expect that this time the heroes and beauties would be out of play, but they were only a little depressed for a moment, and then nodded with a big grin: "Exactly, you play the pipa well, but a song is not addictive, play one or two more to listen." As long as you play well, let alone return to your hometown, I will ask Xu Xun to send someone to rebuild your parents' tombs for you! ”
"Thank you, Childe!"
Yutangchun kowtowed again, and then slowly stood up. After going to fetch her lute, she patiently retuned her head, put on her finger covers, sat down, and plucked after a moment of silence. This is different from the previous ambush on all sides, the initial crisp and bright, followed by the soothing sound gradually urgent, sometimes soothing and sometimes rapid in the song, although it is not as good as the ambush on all sides, it seems to be hanging on the mind all the time, but it has a different taste.
At the end of the song, Zhang Cai took the lead in stroking his palms and exclaiming: "What a sunset flute and drum, the martial arts are played well, and the civil and military songs are played better, just with your pipa, no one in the alley of this division can cover it!" If it were according to his usual habits, it would be a pity to say it at this time, but at this moment, it was easy to stop suddenly, and then he asked with a smile, "Yutangchun should be your flower name, you are not in the dust from now on, or it is better to have a duplicate name." ”
Zhang Cai didn't remind him of this, Zhu Houzhao didn't think of this for a while, and immediately asked with interest: "What is your own surname?" ”
Yutangchun hugged the pipa and replied: "Returning to the son, the concubine's original surname was Zhou, and after being sold to Beijing, a scale of gold was renamed Su San, and her flower name was Yutangchun. Today's great kindness and great virtue, the concubine will be remembered in this life and this life, and the next life will be reciprocated! ”
Although he knows that there are endless injustices in the world, but to save such a woman, Xu Xun naturally feels that today's trip is not in vain. It's just that he knew that it was not early, so he had to urge Zhu Houzhao to return to the palace, but Zhu Houzhao said unsatisfactorily: "This Yutang Spring was placed in your mansion first, isn't Tang Yin from Suzhou?" It's still early, let's go to Lingji Hutong West Factory first to see how Gu Dayong's case went! ”
The little emperor has always thought of what he is, Xu Xun persuaded two sentences to no avail, and had to order the guards, but asked Cao Qian to send Yutangchun back, and asked Zhang Cai to go back to the house by the way, and explained clearly to Xu Liang, who was still at home. However, as soon as he went out, he found that Liu Erhan still hadn't left, not only that, but his face was even more panicked than before. As soon as he saw him follow Zhu Houzhao out, he actually stepped forward in three or two steps, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and bent down deeply.
Zhu ...... Zhu Gongzi. Just now, my uncle sent a letter to me, saying that he would like to stay for a while. He'll be right away! ”
"Liu Jin?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What is he here for?"
Yutang Chun, who was also following behind Cao Qian, heard that Zhu Gongzi in front of him had called Gu Da by his name before, and now he even called Liu Jin by his name, and the vague doubt in his heart suddenly turned into conviction. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and did her best to calm down. Then he clasped his palms together and muttered to himself: "Thank you Buddha for listening to the prayer of the believer, and I only hope that the wicked will be beheaded." The faithful girl returned home safely! ..., although he was a little puzzled, Zhu Houzhao's affection for Liu Jin was not ordinary, and after thinking about it, he said angrily: "You are waiting for your uncle here." He told him that we went to Lingji Hutong. Let him go there! ”
Liu Erhan had the heart to fight again, but where could he say that Zhu Houzhao could only watch as such a group of people got into the car separately and roared away surrounded by many guards. At the gate of Wenxuan Yazhu, he didn't know how long he had been waiting, and he saw a group of people coming quickly. When he stepped forward, he saw that the first person riding a horse in front of him was Liu Jin, and this surprise was not trivial.
He has always watched Liu Jin enter and exit, either in a car or a sedan chair. When have you ever ridden a horse?
"What about people?"
"Back to my uncle, the emperor said that he went to the West Factory."
As soon as I heard this. Liu Jin's face suddenly turned pale, and he actually pointed at Liu Erhan's nose and scolded: "I have already asked you to try to keep the emperor, you can't even do such a little thing!" If it weren't for the misfortune you broke through, how could things have come to this point! ”
Liu Erhan didn't want Liu Jin to suddenly become popular, and he was stunned for a while. After a while, he defended aggrievedly: "Uncle, this really doesn't matter to me. It's just that Yutang Chun and a scale of gold mother and daughter turned their faces, and sued a scale of gold ......"
"You shut up for our family, if it weren't for your lust and desire to get that Yutangchun over, then Yutangchun wouldn't know that you were our family's nephew, how could you be in trouble now?" Liu Jin scolded in his mouth, glad that he had placed cronies around several nephews, and they ran back to report the news in time, otherwise it would be too late. Thinking of this, he pointed at Liu Erhan angrily and reprimanded, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and go home, if you dare to hang around outside again in the past few days, our family will break your legs!" ”
Liu Erhan was scolded so bloody, although he drooped his head, his eyes were dripping to pay attention to the people brought by Liu Jin, but he found that Qian Ning was following Liu Jin, his face was gloomy and terrifying. Seeing that Liu Jin had scolded him, he hurriedly turned around with everyone and went to the direction of Lingji Hutong, he stood there for a while, and gradually had some plans in his heart.
If this was just for Yutang Chun to sue a scale of gold and murder people, how could Liu Jin be so nervous, it was obviously because of what kind of brass to listen to. But what is the identity of his uncle, of course, it is impossible for him to do this kind of thing by himself, then there is a ** that Qian Ning came forward, you must know that the cash cow Xiaolou Mingyue raised in front of the scale of gold is Qian Ning's concubine!
Damn, there was a lot of trouble, he didn't get the benefits but caused a commotion, and he was scolded for nothing!
"Qian Ning, you wait, we are inseparable!"
Although Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao took the first step, after all, Liu Jin and Qian Ning were galloping all the way, and Qian Ning led Liu Jin to take a shortcut, so in the end, the two groups of people met at the gate of the West Factory. Liu Jin rolled the saddle and got off the horse and rushed to the side of the carriage, personally reached out to open the car door, and helped Zhu Houzhao down, and then said with a smile on his face: "The emperor is really fast, the slave and maid are hurrying all the way, and they are forced to come here to catch up with ......."
As soon as Zhu Houzhao jumped out of the carriage, he said angrily: "You will join in the fun, you actually came here on purpose this big night." The yard of the West Factory is not big, and there is no one for your supper! ”
Gu Da, who came out, glanced at Liu Jin and Qian Ning with a smile, and then said with a smile: "What the emperor said, although the Xichang is a big place, but since everyone is here, how can the slaves and maids not entertain them well?" ”
Xu Xun saw that Qian Ning avoided his gaze extremely unnaturally, and he didn't know that he had guessed first. He immediately walked up to Gu Dayong and asked bluntly: "Since Grandpa Gu brought people back first, what can be judged now?" ”
"If I don't even have this ability, wouldn't I, the director of the West Factory, be in vain?" Gu Dayong snorted at Zhong Hui, and when he saw that he came up with a confession, he smiled and flicked the thin piece of paper with his fingers and said, "I took her to the courtyard of a weighing of gold, and I saw that those people had already dug it down, and it would not be long after returning to the West Factory." I coaxed her to say that I had dug up the first skeleton, and she immediately began to beg for mercy. As soon as he opened his mouth, he would give me five thousand taels of silver. Wish I could let her go. Seeing that I showed the torture equipment, she opened her mouth, and at first insisted that those people were all sick and dead, but after she put on her fingers, she immediately recruited everything. As for the brass ground, .........,
Gu Dayong deliberately dragged out a long tone. Seeing that although Liu Jin tried his best to keep calm, he could still see that it was a little unnatural. He was about to speak with a smile, only to hear Qian Ning suddenly say: "Back to the emperor, a concubine in Weichen's family." It is the top card that this scale of gold once held. After entering my door, I have been in contact with her a few times. If you want to verify the crime and misdeeds of this weighing gold now, it is better to call her to ask her too. ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, and was about to open his mouth, but Gu Dayong suddenly smiled and said: "I still thought that this scale of gold could bribe me with money, so I said the name of Lord Qian." said that his daughter was married to Lord Qian. I don't think I knew about such a thing, but it turned out to be just a concubine! Want me to say. This is all because she put gold on her face, and she is not her own daughter, even if she is her own daughter, selling it to others as a concubine is to break the mother-daughter relationship, how can she still talk about this article? ”
If it was Xu Xun who spoke, Liu Jin would still be able to talk haha, but at this time, although Gu Dayong was talking with a smile, there was already a certain meaning in it, and Liu Jin couldn't help but hesitate. To say that among the eunuchs in the East Palace at the beginning, Gu Dayong had the best friendship with him, and it can be said that he was too fat to wear a pair of pants. Even after everyone has soared, others are famous behind them, and although Gu Dayong is close to Xu Xun, he can not talk about falling into the well, and even often suppress and suppress Qiu Ju, who jumps up and down. If he really doesn't give Gu Da face, he will completely push people to Xu Xun's side, which is not cost-effective.
Seeing that Liu Jin didn't speak, Qian Ning couldn't help but feel that his vest was sticky, and when he went to see Xu Xun as if asking for help, he found that Xu Xun was also holding his hands and not speaking, and he suddenly felt that his heart was like hanging in the air, how uncomfortable it was. Seeing Gu Da looking at himself sharply with his eyes, remembering that the insider factory had stolen a lot of limelight from the West Factory and the East Factory, and also stretched out his hands to the ground on both sides, he couldn't help but feel more and more worried, and he was worried that Gu Dayong would directly expose himself.
This strange atmosphere didn't last long, Gu Dayong suddenly yawned, and then said to Zhu Houzhao with a panicked face: "Oh, it's all the slaves and maids who are negligent, and they are talking to the emperor at this gate...... The emperor is invited, Liu Gongfang is also invited to be the head of the Beibo, Zhong Hui, go and let people get the best tea and spring water! ”
At the critical moment, Gu Da used this trick suddenly, Qian Ning almost didn't vomit blood, and saw Liu Jin and Xu Xun hugging Zhu Houzhao left and right, and it was only at this time that he realized that his left and right sources were simply two heavens of ice and fire. But at this moment, if the matter really happened, Liu Jin denied it, Xu Xun left it alone, and he would fall into the abyss in an instant. So, even if he was hard-headed, he could only follow in.
Although Gu Dayong played a trick to delay, he really sat down Zhu Houzhao, and he immediately ordered to bring up a scale of gold. Seeing that the woman with her hands wrapped in gauze and her face was pale and pale under her head, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although this slut is ruthless, I let people torture her, and those brass pipes are really her perverted psychology, and it's okay to eavesdrop on the girl there." ”
Although Zhu Houzhao said that he was not good at this tone, he had already understood the things between men and women, and he had just been heard by Gu Da in a fog, and when he heard the final conclusion, his face turned green for a while. Glancing viciously at the fat woman who was shaking like chaff, he slapped the table angrily and said, "Enough, don't say it, it's disgusting!" I came out for a walk tonight but encountered this kind of mess, I'm really unlucky! Go back and let the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department quickly verify the recital, and kill this slut as soon as possible! ”
When the little emperor rushed out of the door angrily, Gu Da looked at Liu Jin meaningfully and said: "Gonggong Liu, not only this courtyard with a scale of gold, but also the copper pipes in several other places, it is best to let people quickly dismantle it." This kind of thing is taboo, once someone is poked out, it is not only today's result! If you want to do things gradually, you have to do things step by step, so quick success and quick profit, it's not like Liu Gonggong's style! ”
