Chapter 168: Peach Blossom Monk

Liu Yan's gaze wandered around the corner of the wall for a while, his throat rolled a few times, and he couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the imperial court allocate two pieces of silver?" ”

"How can it be so fast? Where do those officials understand the suffering of our little people? Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" A woman holding the child suddenly spoke.

The man next to the woman hurriedly glared at her, and smiled at Liu Yan again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't blame my mother-in-law for speaking straight, she is a village woman and has no knowledge." The people of our Aohua Village know that it is a blessing that this kind of money can be allocated, where do you dare to expect it to be received immediately? ”

"But it's not a matter for you to do this," Liu Yan glanced at the little doll in the woman's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Besides, you can afford this sin, can the child bear it?" Why don't you go to a refugee house in Jiankang for a while? ”

The woman pursed her lips and said, "The refugee house in Jiankang City can only be lived in by paying money, so what's the difference between it and the guest house?" We don't even have money for food, so where can we afford to live in a refugee house? ”

After listening to what she said, Liu Yan was shocked, and looked at Chu Shenxia for verification, but saw him nodding, which really made him unbelievable, the refugee house was built by the imperial court with money and efforts, and it was used to take in some homeless people who were caused by emergencies to live temporarily for a period of time, but the official style was corrupt, and he actually did this kind of thing of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Liu Yan untied the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to the woman, and said in a deep voice: "You take this to the refugee room, just say the money needed for housing, let him personally take the jade pendant to the East Palace to ask for it!" ”

The woman's eyes lit up, and she thanked the people behind her, and then felt like she had fallen back into their corners, and quickly gathered up her salute.

Chu Shenxia glanced around, then at the jade pendant, and whispered to Liu Yan: "Now that this place has collapsed, the place marked on the map can't be found at all, why don't you find a local person and ask?" ”

"Good idea." Liu Yan nodded, beckoned to the woman's husband, and showed him the jade pendant in his hand.

"This is Uncle Xu's home, it's really unfortunate. During the earthquake a few days ago, Xu Bo was very old and had poor legs and feet, so he couldn't get out. He died inside. The man said that Uncle Xu's face was slightly sad.

Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan glanced at each other and asked, "Is he from your village?" ”

"No, Uncle Xu is here after moving the capital, the house has been empty for a long time, and he said that it is his uncle's old house. Jincheng was in turmoil, their family's house was set on fire, and the whole family died, so he had to come back here. ”

"Take us over and have a look." Liu Yan felt that Uncle Xu would definitely not be so simple.

The man scratched his head a little puzzled, His Royal Highness the Prince was going to Uncle Xu's house, and the jade pendant actually marked Uncle Xu's home, which made him very confused.

"This is it, Your Highness the Prince."

Liu Yan approached the collapse and took a general look, but he didn't feel anything special. Turning around and signaling that the man could go, he said to Chu Shenxia, "How should this be?" Not to mention that the place marked on the map collapsed, and the people died, and the clue was broken. ”

Chu Shenxia raised his eyes and glanced around, seeing that the dilapidated and desolate feeling of this place was shocking, he said absent-mindedly: "Everything has an opposing side. ”

Liu Yanzheng was surprised by his words, and the man suddenly went back and forth, panting and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I suddenly remembered one thing, after Uncle Xu's body was dug up that day. The villagers wanted to help him find a place to bury him, but a person suddenly claimed to be Uncle Xu's friend in Jincheng, so he took Uncle Xu's body away. ”

"He came alone?" Chu Shenxia asked.

"Yes, he came alone. spent a lot of money to buy the coffin used by Aunt Lin, and after loading Uncle Xu, he paid for us to transport it to Jiankang. The man remembered it very clearly, but he still thought about it carefully before saying, "We transported it to the western suburbs of Jiankang and helped him bury it before leaving." ”

I asked them exactly where they were buried. Chu Shenxia and Liu Yan hurriedly got on their horses and rushed to the western suburbs.

"This Uncle Xu really has a problem." Liu Yan didn't forget to mumble before getting on the horse.

Two hours later, when the sun was about to set, the two finally found the burial place of the man's mouth before sunset.

The man said that it was easy to find, near the tallest and largest peach blossom tree in a peach blossom forest at the foot of the mountain.

Under the peach blossom tree, there is a wordless tombstone, the top of the tombstone is covered with falling peach blossoms, Chu Shenxia patted the peach blossoms with his hand, and there was no word, and he felt very strange for a while.

Just when the two of them were strange, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind them, and before they looked back, they heard him say: "The peach blossom stele under the peach blossom tree, there is no stele and no bones." ”

I saw that the person in front of him had white hair and beard, even his beard and eyebrows were silvery-white, Chu Shenxia saw that his voice was crisp and his skin was very smooth, not like a sixty-year-old man, so he speculated that he had a disease called the white man, and the hair on his whole body was white from birth.

"May I ask if the old gentleman is Uncle Xu's deceased?" Liu Yan stepped forward and asked.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, old man? Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have only lived in the world for twenty years, and I don't deserve to be called an old gentleman by His Royal Highness. ”

Liu Yan saw that he knew his identity and must have nothing to do with Yu Pei, so he asked, "You and ......"

After only saying two words, I saw him shake his head, pointed to the depths of the peach forest, and invited: "The sky is about to get dark, Your Highness might as well talk about the bamboo house?" ”

After following him into the bamboo house, Liu Yan couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and as soon as he sat down, he asked, "Who are you?" What is the purpose of bringing me here? ”

"This is the tea I saved from the snow water, Your Highness try it." He ignored Liu Yan's words, and only focused on pouring tea, pouring a full cup for Liu Yan and a cup for Chu Shenxia, during which he couldn't help but glance at Chu Shenxia with his residual eyes.

He put down the teapot gently, nodded slightly at the eyes of the two and smiled: "My name is Yi An, I am a confidant of King Xianyun and a friend of King Qin. ”

"It's okay that you are Uncle Qin's confidant, but Uncle Qin died six years ago, and you were only fourteen years old six years ago, how can you be Uncle Qinwang's friend?" Liu Yan saw that what he said was outrageous, and immediately refuted it.

Yi An laughed twice, his eyes swept over Liu Yan's face, and he said coldly: "When you were a child, I also hugged you, what is this, I and King Qin are still friends." ”

Liu Yan was completely confused by what he said, and secretly thought in his heart that nine out of ten sentences of this person's words could not be believed.

"Yi'an Jushi," Chu Shenxia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Liu Yan and Yi An, Liu Yan's reaction was relatively normal, but a trace of surprise flashed in Yi An's eyes very quickly, and then pressed it down again.

"I heard that you have good tea and peach blossoms, and you have lived in seclusion for decades, and you have never been involved in the affairs of the imperial court."

This time it was Liu Yan's turn to be surprised, his eyes were on Chu Shenxia's face, and he was surprised in his heart, how did Chu Shenxia know about him, and Yi An on the opposite side had already opened his mouth and smiled: "I didn't expect that there is still my name on the rivers and lakes, these little things are not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." ”

"Let's talk about something big, then." Chu Shenxia put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him with bright eyes, Liu Yan also looked at Yi An, obviously agreeing with Chu Shenxia's words.

"I didn't expect that Liu Yupage was stupid to this point, he didn't do it honestly, but he didn't do it honestly, but he had to take such a steep road, and in the end, it didn't end up with a tragic death." Yi An, who was still smiling just now, suddenly gritted his teeth, his face was like a fierce light.

"Yi'an Jushi, can you make it clearer?" Liu Yan also learned Chu Shenxia's name to call him.

Yi An raised his hand and took a sip of tea, shook the peach blossom fan in his left hand and said slowly: "Liu Yuye, this idiot, has always wanted to overturn the case for Liu Qicheng, and he has been busy looking for evidence for him all these years, and finally knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was one of the victims of the year, Liu Yu, a white-eyed wolf. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but shiver when he saw that he was shaking his fan in this kind of weather, and what made him even more unbearable was that he opened his mouth to say that Liu Yupage was stupid, which made him feel uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Liu Yu, a white-eyed wolf, did a really good job, not only destroyed Liu Qicheng's people, but also drove the most powerful Ji family out of Jincheng at that time, and even the Liu family and the Zhu family, who were a little powerful back then, were somehow implicated to varying degrees, and their power plummeted. He took advantage of this opportunity to support his own people on the throne, abolished one of his princes, but disintegrated the other forces, and this white-eyed wolf calculated finely. Yi An saw that the two of them didn't react, but he knew that if he didn't tell something true, the two of them would probably fall asleep.

"This white-eyed wolf used to be mixed up until he met me," he said, coughing lightly, and was very pleased to see their gazes, and then said, "I got the letters he exchanged with the general of Qi back then, and I didn't take more, so I took the Yanqueguan conspiracy that he conspired with Yi Yuan back then." ”

Seeing the glint in their eyes, Yi An smiled very proudly: "Collect your eyeballs, this is about to fall out." The palace maid who invited King Qin into the palace under the false message of the queen back then was also with me, and the old lady who served Liu Mo in the palace back then......"

He wanted to speak and stopped, deliberately waiting for Liu Yan to ask what was going on, before he smiled evilly: "It's dead...... Not enough, she had said before she died that she was staying in the next room and didn't hear any movement, so I guess it must have been done by a master, and Wei Shuming was one of the people sent to protect the palace back then......"

"Yes, we also guess it's Wei Shuming." Liu Yan nodded approvingly, and said indignantly, "It's a pity that he exonerated him in front of his father last time!" It's really his fluke! ”

"Could it be that His Highness's purpose is just Wei Shuming? In fact, I don't care about his life or death at all, I just want to catch the white-eyed wolf behind the scenes. When Yi An said this, he put away his playful expression, and said very seriously and seriously, "There are such people in the Song Kingdom, and sooner or later they will die." ”
