Chapter Seventy-Four: Imprisonment for Misunderstanding

After five months of temptation and contact, Chang Degui appreciated Li Huaiyu's character and talent very much, and he made up his mind to marry his daughter to him.

Chang Xiulan has been facing Li Sheng every day for five months, respecting each other like guests, and cultivating a deep relationship. The girl had already secretly promised Li Shengfang, but the son put all his energy on reading and did not notice Xiulan's thoughts.

After a few days, Chang Degui saw his daughter's thoughts, and also knew that Li Gongzi's examination date was approaching, and if he didn't tell the two of them about their relatives, he would have no chance.

On this day, Old Man Chang called Li Huaiyu and his daughter together, clarified the family affairs, and asked Li Gongzi: "Huaiyu, the little girl Xiulan saved you, and you have lived in my Yinjun Mountain for more than five months, which shows that the two of you have a fate!" People often say: 'There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet on the other side.' 'Don't hide it, the little girl likes you very much, and has always wanted to marry you Qin Jin, I don't know what you think? ”

As soon as Chang Lao's words came out, the faces of the two young people immediately turned red with shame.

Li Huaiyu thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Uncle Chang! I'm very glad that your old Chang family can be so important. It's just that I already have two wives, and my family is poor, and my mother and eldest brother are missing, so I don't dare to wronged Miss Xiulan! ”

Chang Lao smiled: "Child, it is normal for this man to have three wives and four concubines. As for your family's poverty, your relatives are not there...... When you enter Beijing and get a half-official position, revitalize the court, and let Xiulan help you find your relatives, isn't it okay? ”

Li Huaiyu had the heart to agree to this family business, but when he thought of Feng Ying and Mei Ying's infatuation with him in the past, he really couldn't bear to live up to their sincerity to him; If you don't agree, Uncle Chang has already spoken. How can I refuse? This...... He sat there for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Xiulan saw that Li Gongzi was extremely embarrassed about this matter, and hurriedly said, "Daddy, how can you force the matter of marriage?" Don't embarrass Mr. Li anymore! ”

Hearing his daughter say this, Chang Degui touched Li Sheng's hand with a smile and said, "Huaiyu." Don't be embarrassed about this. Alas! That's it! It's up to you young people to decide, and the old man won't get involved! ”

Li Huaiyu saw that Old Man Chang was so disappointed, he was very sad in his heart, and said, "Uncle Chang, I'm sorry! I ......"

Veteran Chang waved his hand and said, "Child." Needless to say, just follow the fate! ”

Chang Lao got up and went out, leaving only Li Gongzi and Miss Chang in the house. Chang Xiulan immediately told her son about Pi Xiuyun's soul possession, and told him not to tell anyone about it, so as not to cause trouble.

Li Huaiyu was taken aback when he heard this. said: "It turns out that the beautiful woman in my memory is not a dream person, but a real fairy?" ”

Xiulan said, "Exactly! Miss Pi is the fairy of the heavens. She not only worked with her father to cure your loss of 100 million disease, but also made a husband and wife with you for 100 days. The last time you were trapped in the Lotus Temple, she also asked me to save you! ”

Li Huaiyu burst into tears when she heard this, and said: "Miss Xiuyun is so good to me, but I only treat her as a dreamman, what a waste of her affection!" ”

Xiulan saw Gongzi's tears falling like rain, and hurriedly persuaded: "Gongzi Li doesn't have to be so sad. Marriage is all destined by God, and you and I mortals cannot control it. If you really have the heart to repay the fairy, then study hard. Strive to achieve great things! I'm sure the fairy will be happy for you! ”

"Thank you Miss Xiulan for suing me so much, I will definitely live up to all of you's expectations of me!"

"If Childe can have such determination, Xiulan will be relieved."

One day in heaven and one year on earth. In order to repay Chang Xiulan for saving Li Huaiyu, Pi Xiuyun decided to use three days in heaven to help her extend her three-year lifespan. Chang Xiulan knew that she would die soon, and she cherished the time she spent with her father, eldest brother and Li Gongzi every day. This is the psychology of gain and loss that everyone has.

Li Huaiyu wants to go to Beijing to catch the exam. Chang Xiulan couldn't rest assured and said goodbye to her father and brother. rode a tall horse and escorted Li Sheng away from Yinjun Mountain. Take the road and go straight to Chang'an. The two walked on the high and low uneven roads, zigzag and ran in Yangguan. They stayed overnight, pulled out the mountains and waded through the water to catch the half-moon scene in Lushan, and finally passed the Tongguan Pass and came to Chang'an, Xijing.

Li Huaiyu went to Chang'an, Xijing, under the escort of Chang Xiulan, and saw that the city was full of people coming and going, the traffic was busy, the scenery was picturesque, and it was not lively. The two rows of shops from all walks of life are lined up, and there are countless colorful signs. The bosses of the business are shouting loudly at the door to solicit customers; The singing of the performers continued, jumping around. Li Huaiyu sat on a horse and watched the scenery, and Miss Chang led the horse on foot. The two enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, and the strange picture satisfied the two curious hearts. As soon as they saw the West Mountain, it was getting dark, and the two found an inn to live in.

At this time, the examination period is approaching, and all the scribes from all over the world have gathered in Chang'an City. These people have been studying hard for more than ten years, and they all hope that they can get an official and a half-position to serve the court and win glory for their ancestors. The imperial court attached great importance to this scientific examination, and made sufficient preparations a few days in advance, so as not to let anyone or anything disrupt the order of the examination room. All those who have signed up are given a small wooden card, which is the admission card, which is the same as our modern college entrance examination admission card. After the Kyoto will try, it will be the palace test, and the temple will be tested by the Son of Heaven himself.

Li Huaiyu stayed in the inn for several days and was uneventful. After breakfast that day, I heard other people say that it was time to apply for the exam, and it was time to get the admission card, Li Huaiyu said goodbye to Chang Xiulan and came to the registration office. Seeing that it was crowded and crowded, the lifters were queuing up to sign up, and Li Huaiyu also lined up in the long line.

When it was Li Huaiyu's turn to sign up, the examiner asked him his name, surname and hometown, and knew that he was Li Huaiyu, the son of Luoyang, and said in his heart: "Isn't this the master of Wufengling Dazhai who made a big fuss about the school, slashed Tang Shuai with a sword, and made the court lose 5,000 elite soldiers?" He was so bold that he dared to throw himself into the net. In order to ask for a reward, the examiner shouted at the moment: "Officers and soldiers, this is the anti-thief Li Huaiyu, take him down quickly!" ”

The officers and soldiers were ordered to press Li Sheng to the ground, tie him up, and put him in a prison, waiting for the emperor to deal with it. Li Huaiyu didn't know it, he was frightened, trembling all over, sitting in the prison and crying desperately about his wrongs.

Since Chang Xiulan separated from Li Huaiyu in the morning, she has been staying in the inn waiting for him to come back. In the afternoon, Childe had not come back yet, Xiulan was very anxious, walking around and taking pictures outside the door, not knowing what had happened to Childe. After a while, Xiulan couldn't wait any longer, and went out with a knife to find Li Gongzi. I only heard a few lifters on the street talking that Li Huaiyu, a lifter from the eastern capital of Luoyang, was arrested and put in prison by the examiner, and he may be more than lucky. Xiulan hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation, and the few lifters told Li Gongzi the ins and outs of being arrested. Xiulan was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly ran to the registration office to find the examiner's theory. As soon as the examiner heard Xiulan asking about Li Huaiyu's whereabouts, he thought that she must be Li Huaiyu's accomplice, so he shouted for the officers and soldiers to take her down. As he spoke, dozens of soldiers surrounded Xiulan and stretched out their hands to grab her. Xiulan turned around and dodged, and only three punches and two kicks knocked those people all over the ground.

The examiner saw that this girl was not easy to mess with, and hurriedly shouted and transferred troops: "All the officers and soldiers inside, hurry up and come out and catch this thief!" ”

Chang Xiulan flashed to the examiner, reached out and lifted him from the chair and pressed him on the table, put the knife on his neck and said, "Say it quickly!" What happened to Li Huaiyu? ”

The examiner's neck was cold, and he trembled with fright, and said, "He's ...... He's ...... He's in prison! ”

Xiulan asked fiercely, "How can I save him?" ”

"This ...... Someone has to overturn the case for Li Gongzi in front of the emperor, and when the emperor decrees a pardon, he can get out of the prison. After the examiner finished speaking, Chang Xiulan had already disappeared without a trace. Frightened, he let out a sigh: "My mother, it's so dangerous!" ”

Originally, it was easy to rescue Li Ergongzi from the prison with Chang Xiulan's skills, but for the sake of Gongzi's future future, Xiulan couldn't do it brutally, so it was the best policy to help him clear his grievances and let him enter the examination room smoothly. Chang Xiulan thought about it, only by entering the palace and asking the emperor to issue an order to clear up the matter can Li Gongzi's innocence be restored and help him clear his name. So Xiulan jumped up, passed through the Xuanwu Gate in mid-air, and floated into the palace compound. She was just about to walk when she was waiting for a man wearing an official uniform, with a ruddy complexion, a pair of triangular eyes under two lines of light eyebrows, a black mole at the corner of his left eye, and a half-foot-long beard sprinkled on his chest. This person is none other than Liu Kun, the great Sima of the Ministry of War.

Liu Kun saw a girl with a hero's scarf on her head, a blue robe, and a Yanling knife in her hand coming into the palace compound, and thought: "This must not be an ordinary person!" ”

It turned out that Liu Kun heard that someone had captured his enemy Li Huaiyu, so he entered the palace and tried his best to persuade the emperor in the imperial study to order his execution immediately. Unexpectedly, Cheng Biting Jin also heard the wind and entered the palace and arrived in the imperial study, he advised the emperor not to kill Li Huaiyu in a hurry, and should release the news to let the thieves in Wufengling come to rescue Li Huaiyu, and then take the opportunity to catch them all is the best policy. It's called casting a long line to catch a big fish. Besides, now is the period of scientific research, and it is not appropriate to kill people. As soon as the emperor heard that what Cheng Yanjin said was reasonable, he did not immediately issue an order to behead Li Huaiyu. Liu Kun saw that he couldn't kill Li Huaiyu, so he was angry, so he withdrew from the imperial study and walked outside the palace.

Chang Xiulan saw that this person was wearing a purple official uniform, and guessed that he must be an important minister in the court, so she stepped forward and hugged her fists and said: "This lord, if you have to report to the emperor, you will say that Li Huaiyu's case is complicated, there are hidden secrets, and the people want to redress his grievances." ”

When Liu Kun heard that the girl in front of him was going to avenge Li Huaiyu's grievances, he was stunned, and said in his heart: "Let her talk nonsense in front of the emperor, Li Huaiyu will really not be able to die, and then my son's revenge will not be avenged." Thinking of this, she pointed at Chang Xiulan and scolded: "Bold thief, what crime should you be guilty of trespassing into the palace?" ”

Xiulan hurriedly explained: "My lord is angry, the folk girl really has no other way to make this decision!" ”

Liu Kun would hear her say so much, and shouted as soon as he opened his mouth: "Come on, there are assassins!" Protect the Emperor! (To be continued)
