When the old man raised his head to look at Zhao Pu again, there was a trace of horror in his eyes, he shook off the fallen leaves on his body, and his voice was full of doubts, "How did you offend?" ”

Zhao Pu looked at the old man, and said in a very indifferent voice, "His horse died, although I didn't kill it, but it was indeed because I died." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and the old man was obviously frightened by Zhao Pu's remarks, and his face turned slightly pale, "I have seen King Zheng Yan love horses like his life, I think you should run for your life." ”

Zhao Pudao looked indifferent, "What's this?" He is outside the wall, I am inside the wall, although I can't completely eliminate the disaster, but after all, it will make him unreachable, and I can be considered safe and comfortable like this. ”

"Safe?" Snorted coldly, the bark-like old face was helpless, "Where is the stability in this city wall?" As the so-called useless is a scholar, I am a stubborn person, I never knew who to please when I came, and as a result, I eat less food on weekdays, and I use less money, and it is even more difficult to escape in this place than the prison. ”

The old man looks like he is talking extraordinary, but he still looks helpless forced by life, and in Zhao Pu's eyes, there is a touch of bitterness as a scholar.

"Young man, if you have a little kung fu and can climb over this wall, go out quickly, this place is stable, but it swallows people's youth."

"When did the old gentleman enter the door?" Zhao Pu asked cautiously.

"I can't remember clearly, I just know that it was still the former Tang Dynasty, my name was Sun Shan, and I was fortunate to be introduced by someone in my family, and I came here after being recommended by someone at that time, and I never went out again."

"Won't they let you out?"

The old gentleman shook his head, "You really have to be careful, maybe if you offend others, there is still a way to live, and if you offend King Zheng Yan, it is really a dead end." ”

"This ......"

"Don't say what I told you." The old gentleman waved his hand, "The steward who came before last was a close confidant of King Zheng Yan, or was King Zheng Yan inserted and pulled it in one hand, let me ask you, if King Zheng Yan told that kid, do you think you will still have a life?" ”

"Master Ji should be impartial."

"Master Ji has a lot of power, and he is big outside the country, so he doesn't bother to take care of the affairs in this country."

"Then what should I do to find a way to live for myself, sir?" Zhao Pu's face was full of sincerity.

The old gentleman raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Pu, "Just now I saw that you were in the same room with the most disgusting person here, you can know that you must have no power in this place, and you must not have much kung fu to be around like this, so there is only one way left." ”

"How?"

The old gentleman patted the blue-gray robe on his body, acting like an old pedant, "Have you ever heard of Mao Sui?" ”

"Mao Sui? Do you want me to recommend myself? ”

"You can teach." The old gentleman nodded slowly, "The Confucian scholars in this place either hand some money to the steward, or get some things for the errand man, and they always give benefits, so that they can go up, but there are exceptions to everything, and there are those who can go up without any power." ”

"Oh?" When Zhao Pu heard this, his eyes lit up a little.

"It's definitely harder, are you interested?"

Nodding, Zhao Pu had a good impression of this old gentleman.

"On the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, Lord Ji will come to this Wenwu Quxing Temple to worship, the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, mortals can't sacrifice to the sky, but in the early years, Lord Ji was deceived by two driving monks, and he didn't believe in Buddhism, so he only believed in Wenwu Quxing and blessed one side of Antai."

"The statue of Wuqu Xing is in an old temple not far from Daying, and Wen Quxing invited him to the front yard."

"Front yard?" Zhao Pu had a slight doubt, "But can't we even get out of this place?" ”

"There's a back door, no one dares to approach it, and when it's dark, you can go and see it."

Zhao Pu nodded and answered.

The old gentleman seemed to have had enough of the sun, got up lazily, and left the stone steps, Zhao Pu hurriedly asked, "Old gentleman, then I have nowhere else to live?" ”

"I can't take care of that." The old man shook his head irresponsibly, "This matter has been assigned by people early in the morning, if I take you in my room, if the person in charge knows, I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Zhao Pu's face was as pale as dirt, and he couldn't help frowning for a while.

At present, King Zheng Yan can't really send himself to see King Hades, and many literati have a habit of cleanliness, so this kind of residence is tantamount to the biggest insult to Zhao Pu.

Rubbing his brows, Zhao Pu couldn't help but feel disgusted, such a place, even if he barely sleeps, he will wake up in the middle of the night, it is really worse than prison.

……

I simply sat in the courtyard until it was dark, and the lights of all the houses were extinguished.

Zhao Pu has been unwilling to sleep, and when it was a little later, he also had the heart to look at the sleeping bedroom he had been arranged, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two jumping mice, and he had no intention of sleeping, so he had to leave quickly.

The moon in the night sky will be round, not yet full.

Obviously, according to what the old gentleman said before, as long as Zhao Pu waits for a few more days, it will be the fifteenth day of the middle of the month, and then it will be the day when Lord Ji comes out to worship Wenwu Quxing.

If only I could escape from this literati garden.

Zhao Pu thought so in his heart, and suddenly became a little interested in the back door of the small courtyard.

The literati academy as a whole is not too big, and in general, a person who was born as a military general is more literal than military.

If it weren't for the fact that the literati had done some great things in the past few years, perhaps the Lord Ji at this time would not have realized the importance of the literati to the entire court and the power of the state.

In short, this large wooden door was firmly locked, and most of the literati were locked in the mediocre life here.

More literati are also comfortable here, in this chaotic world, there is a place to live, and the silver taels are returned, and the wives and children at home are enough to settle down.

This is enough to glorify the ancestors in the township.

It's a pity, if people drink water, they know how warm and cold they are.

The evening breeze was blowing, and when Zhao Pu got up, there was a touch of perseverance on his face.

His wife and parents at home could not settle down with a few taels of silver.

Wei Yuxuan's family is still experiencing changes, if he can't reconcile the suffering on Wang Yaoshi's side, the alliance between the Wang family and the Wei family, the first branch of the eighteen-point family, will be broken, and then the safety of the parents and the young family will suffer an indelible blow.

At this point, Zhao Pu only has one fight, and it is a desperate fight.

By the moonlight, Zhao Pu walked quickly to the back of the literati courtyard, and the surroundings were empty, without a trace of echo.

There is a small courtyard in the backyard, which looks like a good environment, and although the lotus pond looks beautiful on a summer night, the mosquito bites are never stopped.

After a little passing from it, Zhao Puden was covered in bruises and swollen bags, it seems that there are mosquitoes guarding this backyard?

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly in his heart, only to feel that when he was a little closer to the backyard hut, the mosquitoes had decreased slightly, and when he sniffed carefully, he found that there was still some smell of burning mugwort in the house.

Mugwort is a Chinese herb that can get rid of mosquitoes, which I learned from Xu'er.

Now the mugwort is burning in this hut, it must be because there are people in the room, Zhao Pu poked his head carefully, but saw a powder tent in the house.

"What is this place?" Muttering softly, it was as if someone had been woken up in the room.

"Who?"

The silver bells in the room rang like a panicked deer, and the sound in the room seemed very empty.

Zhao Pu didn't dare to agree, but squatted under the window fixedly.

"I know you're out the window."

The female voice in the hut looked particularly ethereal, a little nervously tentative.

Zhao Pucai was not fooled in this regard, and remained silent.

Unexpectedly, the woman stood in front of Zhao Pu like a ghost.

I saw that this woman was tall, her clothes were embroidered with mottled flowers, and she was dressed in white gauze and tied up her waist, looking like a lotus in the water.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but look at it for a while, and then looked up his eyebrows slightly, only to feel that something was wrong, and faintly realized that this woman's melon seed face looked a little strange, and then looked to the side, only to see a huge scar, which made the whole cute little face like a ghost.

His face twitched, and he only felt that this girl looked like she had been ruined.

"You...... Is it a human or a ghost? ”

In the middle of the night, Zhao Pu's voice inevitably trembled.

The little girl looked at Zhao Pu blankly, and then her eyes were slightly dim.

"How can you be a human being a ghost?"

The girl's gaze was very light, and she didn't look like she was nostalgic.

"You're just looking at the courtyard at the back door?"

was asked by Zhao Pu like this, and the girl's face also had a touch of loss.

"You want to escape?"

"No," Zhao Pu shook his head, "I don't want to escape, I just want to live." ”

"You're alive right now."

"There are people who are alive and he is dead, and there are people who are dead and he is still alive." I don't know why, Zhao Pu casually recited a famous quote from his previous life.

The girl seemed to have her eyes cut water, her melon seed face drooped slightly, and she almost wanted to cry.

"Girl's on her mind?"

"Seeing that you are only in your early twenties, I am older than you, and I am already in my twenties." The girl seemed to speak less than anyone else, "You should call me sister." ”

"Huh." Zhao Pu, who has always been quite a city government, is extremely honest at this time, reflecting his heart.

"You don't want to scream?"

"Well, I just want you to open the door for me, is it that hard?"

The girl didn't expect that she was already slightly older than Zhao Pu, but she just looked out the back door with a calm face, and her voice was empty, "I really can't help this matter." I can take you to try it, but you'll have to see your life. ”

"Isn't this back door just for you to watch? How can you say that it doesn't count? Zhao Pu was a little suspicious, but he didn't expect a mastiff standing in front of the door.

"It's the gatekeeper." (To be continued.) )
