Chapter 1630: There is a strange thing in the night
The night is dark, although because of the sacrifice to the heavens, the heavenly palace singing and dancing is leveled, but the city of Wuping Mansion has been silent, the high-ranking officials and gentry in the city have rushed to the heavenly palace to celebrate the emperor's birthday, although the streets and alleys in the city of Wuping Mansion are full of lights, a festive atmosphere, but after dark, there are not many people on the street to really celebrate the emperor's birthday.
In the past few years, in order to build the heavenly palace, Hexi has mobilized more than 100,000 people, and the tax has increased, to support the construction of such a huge palace, for the people of Hexi, it is undoubtedly a disaster, although under the order of the government, the city is full of lights, but the people really do not have any joy for the emperor's birthday, but many people secretly curse the emperor is a scourge for thousands of years.
The merchants in Hexi, of course, also bleed a lot, thinking of the emperor's stay in Hexi Heavenly Palace, their hearts were not actually the slightest happy because the emperor was stationed in Hexi, but became more and more distressed.
Many people's news is not lagging behind, the news of the fall of the capital has been spread everywhere, many people on this side of Hexi already know that the capital has fallen, and they understand that the emperor is afraid that he will stay in Hexi for a long time, without the capital, the emperor can not return, so he can only stay in Hexi, and the emperor stays in Hexi, of course, it is not a good news for Hexi, the royal use has always been extravagant, these expenses, it is impossible to say that it will be levied on Hexi, the people of Hexi are of course deeply affected, and the wealthy gentry of Wuping Mansion, It is also necessary to bleed profusely.
There was also silence in the Governor's Palace.
In the courtyard of Mei Niang under house arrest, it was silent at this time, the house was lit with lights, in the dead of night, Ding Asan led a Lang Zhong to the courtyard gate in the night, the main gate was guarded by two soldiers, seeing that Ding Asan brought people, before he spoke, Ding Asan had already said: "The girl inside is sick, the master said, can't let her die, so I invited the doctor to see the ...... of the disease!" Speaking of this, he looked at one of the soldiers, who nodded slightly, and was about to let go, but the other soldier had already frowned and said, "Your Excellency the Governor has an order, except for letting you deliver food every day, no one is allowed to enter the courtyard......!" ”
Ding Asan said: "I naturally know, but the girl inside is very sick, so don't you just ignore it?" If the old man comes back, but the person dies of illness at that time, who will be responsible? ”
The soldier was about to speak, but another soldier had already whispered: "It doesn't hurt to let him in and take a look, we will stay here, and no one can get out, if we really die of illness, we will also be affected by the time." ”
The soldier hesitated, then waved his hand and motioned for the two to enter.
Ding Asan led Lang Zhong into the courtyard, and then softly instructed Lang Zhong: "Give the girl a good look, you have a lot of money, but when you go out, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you won't have good fruit to eat." ”
Although he was only a subordinate of the Governor's Palace, Na Langzhong was also quite afraid, and even claimed that he was.
The door of the house was hidden, Ding Asan pushed the door in, saw the lights in the house, Mei Niang leaned on the bed, looking soft and weak, signaled Lang Zhong to wait by the door, stepped forward lightly, saw Mei Niang's back to the outside, seemed to have fallen asleep, swept Mei Niang's curved figure from behind, and then called softly: "Girl, have you slept?" ”
Under the light, Ding Asan saw Mei Niang's face with half of the mask, which was very charming, and saw that the beautiful eyes were tilting themselves, Ding Asan was heartbroken, and said busily: "Girl, I invited Lang Zhong to you, how do you feel now?" ”
Mei Niang smiled and said, "Third brother, thank you very much...... Seeing Lang Zhong waiting outside the door with wide robes and big sleeves, he hurriedly said: "Third brother, please invite Lang Zhong to come in and ......!" ”
Ding Asan turned around and beckoned: "Please come in, hurry up and treat the girl......!" ”
Na Lang Zhong carried the medicine box on his back and entered the house, Ding Asan was very thoughtful, went to close the door of the room, and then came over, and smiled at Mei Niang: "Girl, rest assured, this Hu Langzhong's medical skills are exquisite, and he is a famous doctor in Wuping Mansion, as long as he makes a move, the girl will definitely be a medicine to cure ...... disease!" ”
Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" He put down the medicine box, walked to the couch, and asked, "What does the girl feel uncomfortable about?" ”
Mei Niang said softly: "I just feel that I don't have the strength to ......!" He actually took the initiative to stretch out a jade arm that deceived the frost and snow, "Does the doctor want to help me take my pulse?" ”
Seeing this, Lang Zhong pulled over a small round stool on the side and sat down, of course Ding Asan would not treat himself as an outsider at this time, so he approached and instructed: "Hu Langzhong, although you treat the girl, what do you need, just ask!" ”
Lang Zhong just nodded, rolled up his sleeves, poked out his fingers, and put his fingers on Mei Niang's hand, just touched, but saw Mei Niang suddenly buckle her backhand, and actually grabbed Lang Zhong's hand, Lang Zhong and Ding Asan did not react at all, but saw that Mei Niang, who was weak and weak, was like a colorful phoenix, and had turned over from the couch, holding the hand vein of Hu Langzhong with one hand, and the other hand poked out two fingers, between the two fingers, the silver light was shining, and the silver needle was still inserted into an acupoint in Lang Zhong's neck.
Na Lang Zhong didn't snort, and then fell to the ground, Ding Asan was dumbfounded, grew his mouth, and then felt his throat tight, and one of Mei Niang's hands had already choked his throat.
Ding Asan's soul was scattered, and his eyes showed a look of horror and fear, but Mei Niang smiled charmingly, and said softly: "Third brother, as long as you don't shout, you will be fine, are you disobedient?" ”
Ding Asan nodded vigorously, and Mei Niang said with a smile: "That's good, I want to ask you a question, if you can sue the little sister, the little sister will definitely be grateful for your great kindness ......!" ”
"Girl...... What does the girl want to know? Ding Asan didn't expect that a flower that was originally weak would turn into a pink Shura in an instant.
……
……
The summer night was quiet, and the two soldiers guarding the door waited for a while, and then saw two figures in the courtyard coming this way, Ding Asan walking in front, and Lang Zhong following behind.
Approaching, one of the soldiers had already asked, "How is it?" Isn't it a big deal? While speaking, Ding Asan and Lang Zhong were already close to returning.
Ding Asan and Lang Zhong both lowered their heads, and at this time they had already walked to the door, and a soldier suddenly tightened the corners of his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "No, raise your head and ......!" Before he could finish speaking, "Ding Asan" was like a ghost, bullying himself, and before the soldier could say more, he had a silver needle between his two fingers, which had been inserted into the man's neck, and the other soldier knew that something was wrong, and was about to open his mouth to shout, but he saw that Na Langzhong actually picked up the medicine box with both hands, and before the soldier could scream, it had already smashed on the soldier's head.
In just the blink of an eye, the two soldiers were put to the ground, and "Ding Asan" turned his head to look at Lang Zhong and said in a low voice: "Qi Hong, pull them to the courtyard ......!" ”
That "Lang Zhong" nodded, under the starlight, it was Qi Hong.
Qi Hong quickly pulled the two into the courtyard, then went out and closed the courtyard door, and then asked softly, "Madam, what should we do next?" ”
"Madame" was naturally Mei Niang, who was dressed as "Ding Asan", and said softly: "I already know from Ding Asan that there are soldiers guarding around the Governor'......s Palace, and it is not easy to break out with you and me!" ”
Qi Hong said in a low voice: "I will be a good guard for my wife, and I will try my best to escort my wife away." ”
Mei Niang shook her head and chuckled: "The Governor's Mansion is surrounded by elite soldiers patrolling and garrisoning, and when we go out like this, it is easy for them to find out...... That being the case, we naturally can't break in, and we can let people take us out of ......! ”
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Mei Niang looked around, looked to the east, and said in a low voice: "Feng Yuanpo went to the Heavenly Palace and took away many masters in the mansion, and there are not many really powerful characters in the mansion...... Pack up your medicine box, and you'll come with me ......! ”
In the night, Mei Niang and Qi Hong went one after the other, like ghosts, and sneaked towards the east of the Governor's Mansion.
It didn't take long for Mei Niang to see a vermilion courtyard appear in front of her, her charming eyes flashed a smile, and she looked back and whispered: "This is it......!" ”
"Here?"
"This is Feng Yuanpo's main residence, and Feng Yuanpo mostly rests here on weekdays." Mei Niang said softly: "No one else can protect us out, Feng Yuanpo's wife should always have a way!" ”
Qi Hong understood, "Madame wants to catch Feng Yuanpo's wife first, and then use her to cover us to leave here?" ”
Mei Niang smiled lightly, didn't say much, went around the courtyard, climbed over the wall and entered, she had already learned the geographical shape of this area from Ding Asan's mouth, and also knew the pattern of the east courtyard, entering the courtyard, there was silence, and it didn't take too much effort, so she touched the outside of a rather gorgeous residence, and made sure that there was no one around, like a ghost approaching the past, and looked around the edge of the house, then approached the window outside the main room, poked a hole in the window paper, and looked inside from the hole, the room was dead silent, and a large bed was placed in the middle, very dim, I can't see the scene inside.
Mei Niang took out a silver hairpin from her head, stuffed the hairpin into the gap in the window, touched the window bolt, and gently picked it up, then picked the window bolt and gently pushed the window open.
When Qi Hong saw it, he couldn't help but think in his heart, this lady is worthy of being born in the rivers and lakes, and she is familiar with these sideways and left-handed methods on the rivers and lakes.
Mei Niang didn't look back, just whispered: "You're watching outside!" Without waiting for Qi Hong to say more, he was already as light and dexterous as a bird's nest and floated into the house from the window.
Qi Hong sighed secretly, but soon he was on guard and beware, after all, this is the Governor's Mansion, and no one knows if this Governor's Mansion has hidden eyes.
Mei Niang entered the house, and when she landed, she was silent, her weapons had already been confiscated, and there were only a few hidden silver needles on her body, and she held a silver needle between her two fingers, stepping lightly, close to the big bed in the house.
In fact, there was something strange in her heart.
Just now she sneaked in and investigated outside, according to common sense, such a high-ranking official's house, its living room is very particular, generally speaking, like Mrs. Feng's status, even if she rests in the inner room, then there will inevitably be maids on duty in the outer hall, so as to facilitate waiting at any time at night, but Mei Niang found that this Mrs. Feng lives in the outer hall, there is no one in the inner room, and there is only one bed, but it seems that Mrs. Feng does not need to be served at night.
She walked lightly to the bedside, and found that the curtain was hanging, and there was no one sleeping on the bed, Mrs. Feng didn't seem to be resting here, Mei Niang frowned, thinking that it was difficult for Ding Asan to be bold and dare to deceive herself, and suddenly heard a slight movement in the corner, Mei Niang looked up, but saw an ancient wooden screen placed obliquely in the corner of the house, this screen made of ancient wood, extremely exquisite, but not transparent, like a delicate partition.
Mei Niang heard the movement coming from behind the screen, and was immediately alert, her beautiful eyes were cold, and she waited for a while, but she didn't hear any other movement, and then she approached lightly.
Bypassing the screen, Mei Niang found that behind the screen was a wall, but there was a huge landscape map hanging on the wall.
Mei Niangxiu's eyebrows frowned, a little puzzled, and then the willow eyebrows fought, a sneer appeared on her red lips, she just thought in an instant, if nothing else, this wall, I am afraid that there is a big problem.
The ancient wooden screen, obviously placed here for a long time, if this exquisite and luxurious ancient wooden screen, is used to change clothes, it is understandable, but behind the screen is just a wall, obviously a little weird, if Feng Yuanpo is extravagant, just put this screen here as a decoration, then it also explains the past, but since there is a beautiful ancient wooden screen here, why hang a painting on the wall behind the screen?
There is no doubt that there is an ancient wooden screen to block it, and this painting is not usually seen by people at all, and if it is said to decorate the wall, it is obviously redundant, which is equivalent to wearing the most beautiful neon dress in the whole world, but you have to put a wide robe and coat on the outside.
Mei Niang walked lightly close to the wall, her eyes flashed, she was born in the rivers and lakes, she had seen a lot of strange things, she faintly understood something in her heart, raised her hand and was about to knock on the wall, to see if there was another mystery in the wall, suddenly thought of something, put down her arm, her cheek was close to the wall, and listened attentively.
