On the last day of May, Guo Rong's wife, Liu, had just been crowned a county monarch not long ago, and was drinking tea in the inner hall early this morning, but saw her husband pacing back and forth in the courtyard. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What are you doing?"

"Not bad," Guo Rong took a deep breath, "It's cloudless, and the sky is good." ”

Liu saw that her husband was fiddling with a few Yueji plants in the yard, but she was not very happy in her heart. After all, once the continuous rainy days clear, then the days of the summer fire will have to be several days in a row.

"By the way, husband, what about the timber wolf Kuisu you said? Why didn't you see him come over this morning to say goodbye? ”

"He just hit the road in the morning."

The county gentleman frowned: "What are these words?" How unlucky. ”

Guo Rong sighed and didn't answer her words......

At this time, Chengyuan had already come to the street, and in the previous months, he had been under house arrest in Dengzhou, then running all the way with Cao Zheng, and finally hiding in Guo Wei's mansion for nearly two months, sometimes discussing simple matters, and sometimes continuing to transfer materials to verify his Yellow River diversion map. Although Guo Fu had a good time during this time, it was still more free to walk alone on the street for the first time at this moment.

However, at this time, it was not easy for him to be free.

Chengyuan scurried along the edge of Xishifang, and he wanted to catch up with the crowd of people who had come to Daxiangguo Temple early in the morning to worship incense. lest you mistake a group of people.

Today is the tenth holiday, since the Tang Dynasty promulgated the decree of the holiday, the official institutions from every five days to every ten days off, every day people will bathe at home, tidy up the housework. Of course, there is also a visit to the temple to make incense, so the temple is more lively than ever.

As soon as Chengyuan entered the mountain gate, he was slightly relieved to see that there were not too many pilgrims in the temple. When I came to the main hall, I saw that the house was wide and deep, and it was very majestic. So Chengyuan kowtowed in front of the three Buddhas of the third world, and stood at the door to observe.

waited until the afternoon, and suddenly a woman chanted a word when she entered the incense: "Ask the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless and teach Hu to make the king safe and sound." ”

Chengyuan's eyes lit up, he brushed past the woman, and took something in his hand: it was a copper bell.

Chengyuan rang the bell as he walked out of the door, chanting aloud as he walked:

"Spring flowers rise, Kui Suxing."

When the long is the long......

"In March, go to Bianjing."

When the long is the long......

Chengyuan turned around and saw that several people suddenly followed him, so he cleared his throat and continued:

"The trap is full, when the sky is tired,"

When the long is the long......

"June 1st, when the head is cloudy......"

Chengyuan shouted while walking to Dali Temple, and there were more and more people behind him.

"The trap is full, and the sky is tired of it. On the first day of June, when the head ......was overcast, the voice of Chengyuan and his party was also a little louder, and some people had begun to read along with him.

During the holidays, there are only a few people on duty in public institutions, and it is very strange for them to see the people in front of the door, but who will really have nothing to do during the holidays? After a few glances, I went back to sit down.

In front of the East and West Market, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple, the entrance of the main hall of the Criminal Department, and even the palace gate of the inner garden of the palace, Chengyuan all went around and read while walking. Although there were a lot of people behind him, there were still a few people who came and a few who scattered. There are always not too many, so the poor people who patrol the streets under Kaifeng Mansion did not intervene.

Chengyuan knew that there were too few people on duty during the mid-year holiday in this period, and the central government of the Tang Dynasty raised very few officials, until the so-called "redundant officials and redundant personnel" in the Great Song Dynasty, but the office staff of the central agency who really ate the imperial grain were only a few thousand, and he grabbed this vacancy, as long as Kaifeng Yin Houyi turned a blind eye, then there was no problem with such a parade that lasted all day.

After tossing and turning like this for almost a whole day, the sky finally gradually darkened a little, and Chengyuan also circled back to his destination, the Wudesi of the Later Han Dynasty......

Cheng Yuan took a big breath: "Cheng Kuiyuan asks to see the martial envoy!" ”

After a long time, the door of Wu Desi squeaked...... It opened with a bang, and two sleepy-eyed palm prints came out of it.

"What do you say? Who do you say you are? ”

"Cheng Kuiyuan? Are you deaf? Cheng Yuan's eyes widened, and he took off the hat on his head, and the original board had already become a small part, "The one who is the beauty of adults, the Kui of Timber Wolf Star Kui, and the high and far, that is, the far and near." ”

The two men looked at each other, their mouths wide open.

"Fast forward! Please! ”

Cheng Yuan turned around, and did not make a move, he bowed deeply to all the citizens who followed him, it was a Western-style bow, one hand in front, the other in the back, just like the etiquette when the orchestra conductor of the New Year's concert turned back.

Seeing that the people were watching him and did not want to disperse

Chengyuan then felt certain, so he straightened his clothes and hat, and went with the minister.

The palm print did not lead him into the main hall of the yamen, but led him into a small courtyard on the right side. As for the second entry, Cheng Yuan saw that there were messy sundries around him, like a storage place. Turning around the back hall room, the three entrances are still there, obviously this courtyard is a place that has been abandoned and changed its use

The official opened the iron lock hanging from the back door, and there was a dimly lit alleyway outside. Cheng Yuan followed behind and turned two corners, feeling more and more eerie about the atmosphere. After turning an unknown number of corners, the two walked through a small shrine - Chengyuan could tell that the location here had returned to the middle road, probably in the position of Xuanwu in the north, and the person enshrined here was probably the Emperor Zhenwu.

The door of a nearby room was open, and it was dark inside, and the official stretched out an arm and said coldly to the door that had been pushed open:

"Cheng Xiaogongzi is really not an extraordinary person, and the person who can have the courage to swagger into the Wu De Division is the number one, but Wu De makes him afraid that the old man will not be able to see you today."

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Chengyuan dared to come.

"Don't worry," Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "Today is the middle of the month, Xiaosheng knows, Li Ye must be fooling around with the kiln sisters in the alley, he won't come when the sky falls at this time, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

The minister's face changed slightly, and although he didn't understand what the nonsense "Absolute B" was, his tone was obviously not good. ushered in such an important person, after all, he didn't dare to make any mistakes before Li Ye's personal trial.

With a sound of "Bang", the door was closed, and Chengyuan said angrily: "Don't you prepare something to eat for the master?" ”

This night was really sad, and Chengyuan was ready to stay up all night. He hummed almost all the music he was familiar with, and finally fell asleep......

When he slowly woke up, there was already a figure in front of him. The man was dressed in a black robe, and a strange face was hidden in his hood. The corners of his eyes were hanging, the corners of his mouth were upturned and smiling, and a long nose was poking forward like a tengu, and it was the face of the word "fear" in Xu Xuan's seal book.

Cheng Yuan still saw that his hair stood on end, but at this time he knew after all: such a face was actually a mask of Wu Desi.

Cheng Yuan sat up and saw the black-robed man sitting on a chair, looking directly into his eyes.

When he was sometimes scolded for doing something wrong, Chengyuan often didn't dare to look his father in the eye. Whenever this happens, his father will reward him more and more with a few big mouths: "Don't hide your eyes!" Look at me! My father always said, "As a man, no matter who you encounter or what you do, don't avoid your eyes, but take it calmly." ”

Cheng Yuan then looked into the other party's eyes: "There are only two of us in this room," Cheng Yuan straightened his waist and said coldly, "Since Your Excellency is willing to deign to sit opposite me, why don't you show your true face?" ”

"It's ...... anyway"

The other party sighed, put his hands behind his head, and took off the mask of the word "fear".

A handsome face appeared in front of him......

Cheng Yuan's eyes lit up, this person's eyebrows were like ink paintings, and his two eyes were as deep as a lake. Except for the slight fine lines at the corners of his eyes, his skin is like white porcelain. If you don't have a beard on your chin and lips, you'd be like a Xizi.

Chengyuan couldn't help but sigh "tsk", and was amazed in his heart. Then he straightened up and gave him a deep look:

"Late generation Kuiyuan, see the military envoy in the school inspection, and Li Hou, the uncle of the country."

Li Ye laughed, the voice was bright and brilliant, and it was very comforting.

"You really have the guts, Cheng Kuiyuan, are you going to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the net like this? However, in this way, Liu Yanseng and Hu Luanzhi are both hurt by you. ”

Chengyuan's head shook wildly: "No, no, no, Uncle Guo, the two of them are locked up in Kaifeng Mansion, and they can't hold back their illness for a long time?" It's more interesting to send back "our" Wu Desi. ”

Li Ye ignored his gags, and just asked with a smile: "Cheng Kuiyuan, the case in the Dengzhou Assassination Hall and the case in the science field are actually not your mastermind, so it is not difficult for you to save your life, it depends on whether you are smart or confused." ”

"Oh......" Cheng Yuan raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth wide, "What is smart and what is confused?" ”

"You were coerced by Cao Zheng to come to Beijing, and you continued to go deep into danger along the way, and you have to hide everywhere under the wanted for the past two months, so you must be living like a year, right?" Li Ye continued to talk eloquently, "People live in the world, peace of mind is great, the sooner they get out of their control, the sooner they can live a peaceful life to avoid harm, this is smart." ”

Seeing that Cheng Yuan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking carefully, Li Ye was a patient man, so he looked at Cheng Yuan with a smile and waited for him to reply.

"I understand," Chengyuan nodded, "If you say this, what kind of confusion is, that can also be imagined." ”

He suddenly stood up: "Li Hou, let's leave now, go to the prison of the Criminal Department, since I came here last night, then Liu Yanseng and Hu Luanzhi must have been escorted back to the Wude Division Prison again, right?" ”

Li Ye also stood up: "That's right, let's go to the prison of the Criminal Department now, you have to identify them in person, tell them all their evil deeds, and then write a confession and sign it in person." ”

"Very good."

So Chengyuan was shackled, and when he went out, the cold in the house suddenly changed to baking under the scorching sun, and this alternation of hot and cold made him shiver......

He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "So far, things are going well, and only this last shiver will be left later." Guo Wei, Guo Wei, you have to work hard......"
