Chapter 302: The Plum Shadow Emerges

Mei Niangzi appeared!

This is definitely unexpected good news for Yang Shouwen.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to find Mrs. Mei, but he didn't expect Mrs. Mei to send her to the door by herself. Last time in Changping, Yang Shouwen was taken by her under exhaustion. Now, she has called the door again, and Yang Shouwen will naturally not give up.

However, for Shen Yanqi and He Zhizhang: Who is Mei Niangzi?

Fortunately, Zhuang Bifan has been a Luoyang lieutenant for ten years after all, and he has some understanding of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

After hearing the name of 'Mei Niangzi', Zhuang Bifan couldn't help frowning.

"County Lieutenant Zhuang, is there a problem?"

After thinking about it, since the name of the murderer was already known, it would not be difficult to arrest him.

Zhuang Bifan smiled bitterly and said: "County Zun, this Mei Niangzi is haunted, and she is known as the Three Monarchs of the Cold and the Cold along with Zhu Langjun and Mrs. Lan, and she is a very famous assassin in the rivers and lakes. Mei Niangzi has been incarnated into hundreds of thousands, and no one can tell her appearance clearly.

And ......"

"And how?"

Zhuang Bifan was hesitant, revealing a look of embarrassment.

However, Yang Shouwen saw his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it." It is rumored that this Mei Niangzi is a guest of many noble seats, so even if you know that she is there, it may not be easy to arrest this person. ”

"How can it be?"

When Shen Yanqi heard this, he was furious.

"How can such a wanderer be so arrogant?

County Lieutenant Zhuang, you will go to his mansion with Qing Yi later, and ask about the other servants in his mansion. I will go into the palace and report this matter to the saints. ”

Shen Yanqi's reaction not only frightened Yang Shouwen, but even He Zhizhang was also frightened.

"Yun Qing is slow."

He Zhizhang hurriedly stopped Shen Yanqi and pulled him to the side.

If Shen Yanqi really stabbed this matter under Wu Zetian's nose. That's a big taboo. But where there is a family with a name and a surname, who doesn't have a few doormen? Oh, there is no such thing as a doorman in these years, 'befriending' people in the rivers and lakes.

The Tang Dynasty itself was a chivalrous era, you are so straight and upright, what should those nobles do?

Yang Shouwen narrowed his eyes. looked at Shen Yanqi, who was standing on the broken bridge, listening to He Zhizhang's persuasion, and still showing dissatisfaction. How did Shen Qi die in history? Yang Shouwen doesn't remember it very clearly! However, there are rumors in the fang market that Shen Yan took bribes. Yang Shouwen believed it before, but now, he doesn't believe it anymore.

This is clearly a scholar who does not understand the world.

Don't look at the fact that he has been in the office for twenty-four years, but in fact, under the protection of Tang Zhongzong and Wu Zetian, he has not suffered any hardships.

Even in the era when cool officials were rampant, those people who came to Junchen did not dare to do anything to Shen Yanqi.

Only. He exposed the face of a corrupt official, and was slandered by that man, so much so that he was almost exiled. Fortunately, Wu Zetian found out in time, pardoned his crimes, and recalled Shen Yanqi, and stayed by his side since then.

This is a nerd, writing poems and articles. He's good at it.

But......

Fortunately, He Zhizhang's eloquence was good, and he finally persuaded Shen Yanqi.

But look at his reluctant look. Yang Shouwen suddenly had a premonition that once Wu Zetian died, Shen Yanqi's end would be miserable. Wu Zetian is alive and can protect Shen Yanqi. But if she dies, Shen Yanqi will inevitably be suppressed and retaliated against by the Li Tang group as Wu Zetian's favorite minister. Then. His life will not be easy.

Yang Shouwen had some good feelings about Shen Yanqi.

This man is very upright, even a little stupid......

But isn't this kind of integrity the quality he has been trying to maintain in his previous life?

If possible, we should think of ways to preserve the period of silence. Don't say anything else. After all, this is a generation of literary masters.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

He Zhizhang accompanied Shen Yanqi back to Yamen, and Yang Shouwen, accompanied by Zhuang Bifan, returned to Tongma Mo.

As soon as he entered the house, he called Yang Congyi and Wuyou and asked Zhuang Bifan to inquire about the situation.

Zhuang Bifan was not polite, and after talking with Yang Congyi, Wu You and others for a while, he said goodbye to Yang Shouwen and left.

"What's the situation?"

Yang Shouwen was sitting on the porch of the small building, holding a bowl of hot soup cakes, and was staggering to eat.

Yesterday I ate and drank at the total fairy palace.

After coming back, he pulled Su Ying and He Zhizhang to eat a jar of Qingping tune. This morning, I was even more hurried, ate a bowl of porridge and water, and went to the yamen. At this moment, it was almost noon, the sun was shining in the courtyard, but the stomach was screaming.

Fortunately, the Yang family had long expected this result and ordered someone to prepare the yokan soup cake.

The milky white yokan is sprinkled with chopped green onions after being put into the soup cake, and the white and green are distinct, which makes people appetizing.

It's a pity that there is a bite of spicy food missing.

Speaking of spicy, Yang Shouwen couldn't help muttering in his heart.

At this time, chili peppers were still growing on the American continent, and there were still nearly a thousand years before Columbus discovered America. If you want to eat chili peppers, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing to do. Although dogwood is also very spicy, it is not a taste after all.

I don't know, how is the navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty?

If you can, send someone to the American continent. At this time, the American continent should still be a wilderness. Yang Shouwen even began to imagine that if the Tang people had discovered America first, he didn't know if there would have been that rogue Uncle Tom.

You must know that the adventurous spirit of the Tang people is stronger than that of Europeans and Americans.

At this time, Yang Congyi and Wuyou and others came in, and Yang Shouwen retracted his thoughts.

He finished the soup cake and handed it to Yang.

Nata brought the wet wipes, Yang Shouwen took them, and wiped away the sweat from eating soup cakes.

This body sweated out, the feeling of hangover disappeared completely, and the whole person seemed to be alive again, and suddenly refreshed.

"Uyu, Zabusu is your subordinate, has he offended anyone outside?"

When Wu You heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Back to Ah Lang, Zabusu doesn't go out on weekdays, how can he offend people?" He is a straightforward person, and he can say it to anyone. The relationship is also very good, but I didn't expect to be killed. ”

As he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

Yang Shouwen laughed when he heard this, "According to you, if he is like this, how can he be killed?" ”

Talking. He moved his gaze to Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi shook his head and said, "Ah Lang, I'm not familiar with Zabusu.

He was a man of Uyu, and I had very little contact with him. In addition, everyone's habits are different, so they rarely talk together. ”

Yang Congyi is a native of Guazhou, and he is no stranger to the Tubo people.

It's just that people like them can get so close to Uyu and them? In this regard, Yang Shouwen did not have the slightest doubt.

"Do you know who he's been with lately?"

Uyu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "He can talk to anyone." The villain doesn't know much about this either. ”

He didn't offend anyone, and no one knew who he was close to?

Yang Shouwen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at Wuyou, only to see that he seemed to be a little flustered.

"Do you know what Zabusu has been up to lately?"

"Oh, a few days ago, he cleaned up the small building, and I heard Yang Niangzi say that Ah Lang wanted to knock down the small building. So I often called him over to help. ”

Yang Shouwen turned his head and looked at Yang.

After getting Yang's affirmative answer. Yang Shouwen didn't continue to ask, but waved his hand to let Wuyou go down.

"How did this man die, when he was so good?"

Yang sat in the corner of the porch, muttering as he mended his clothes.

Beside her, Xiao Jin sat quietly. A pair of eyes widened, curiously looking at the needlework in Yang's hands.

"By the way, aren't you quite familiar with Zabusu?"

"Huh?"

Baozhu's face changed when he came out of the small building, "Yang Niangzi, how can the slave be familiar with that Tubo fang?" ”

"But I saw you and him talking and laughing in the room yesterday."

The orb suddenly showed a sudden look. "Oh, didn't Zabusu say that he would go to Nanshi yesterday, so the slave entrusted him to buy some rags by the way."

In the silk shop, there are often some bits and pieces of cloth.

Ordinary people would buy those cloth heads back for sewing.

After hearing this, Yang immediately showed a look of understanding.

And Yang Shouwen just glanced at Baozhu, and sat on the porch in a daze.

After a long time, he suddenly stood up, "Big brother, Congyi, accompany me to Xiaolou." ”

Absjida walked out of the side room, nodded with Yang Shouwen, and walked out of the courtyard. Yang Shouwen took Yang Congyi and followed Jida straight to another small building in the courtyard. The small building, located in the southwest corner of the courtyard, looked a little desolate around. The small building looked very dilapidated, and I don't know how long it had been uninhabited, so that the walls were mottled with a strange feeling of desolation and desolation.

Yang Shouwen stood in front of the door of this small building, with a contemplative look on his face.

He thought for a moment, stepped onto the porch, and reached out to open the door.

The small building is about seven or eight meters high and is divided into two floors.

Downstairs is a living room and upstairs are two bedrooms.

On the sloping wall of the living room, a shrine is enshrined, but it is empty, and there is no trace of the Buddha statue inside.

Yang Shouwen first walked around the living room, and then went up to the second floor.

Standing in front of the window, he raised his eyes and looked out, and saw the canal flowing under the window, and the bronze horse statue in the distance was even clearer.

Standing here, you can look at the twilight rain of the copper camel.

Standing here, you can listen to the morning bell and dusk drum of Taiping Temple.

"The view here is stunning, a little better than the view of my dwelling."

"Yes, it's a pity that Huo Xianke died in this building back then, so that he was full of ghosts. I heard that after the last owner of the house moved in, he built the pavilion where Ah Lang now lives. It's a pity that the pavilion died before it was built...... This floor is very evil. If Ah Lang wants to demolish it, it's better to demolish it quickly. ”

"You mean, the pavilion we live in was built later?"

Yang Shouwen turned his head to look at Yang Congyi, and saw Yang Congyi nodding.

"Yes, after Huo Xianke died, this house has changed three masters successively.

First, a Hu merchant from the Western Regions died in bed about three months ago, and it is said that his appearance at the time of death was very similar to Huo Xianke. Later, another wealthy businessman from Guanzhong bought the house, but unfortunately he lived for half a year and was suddenly killed.

The third master is from Jiangzuo.

After the man took down the house, he asked the master to dispel his anger. Then the construction of the pavilion where Ah Lang now lives began.

It was only a month before the pavilion was built that he returned to Luoyang from Jiangzuo and was killed by thieves on the way.

After that, this house has no owner, and the people of Luoyang even call it a murderous house, as long as you live in it, it will be dangerous. ”

Yang Congyi finished speaking. suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "Of course, Ah Lang is protected by gods and men, and it will be difficult for the demons and monsters to get close." ”

Yang Shouwen laughed and waved his hand to signal Yang Congyi, he didn't care about this.

However, what Yang Congyi said made him deeply interested.

Haunted house?

No wonder he always felt that these two pavilions were not quite compatible, the one he lived in. Nearly five meters above this pavilion, almost half of the sunlight is blocked. If you live here, you will definitely feel depressed. Presumably this is the so-called method of dispelling evil told by the master. In other words, in this pavilion, three owners of this house died?

"Big brother, what do you think?"

Yang Shouwen suddenly turned his head and looked at Absjida.

Jida smiled slightly and pointed at Yang Shouwen. That means "you already have an opinion, so why bother to torture me?"

"Righteousness. From today onwards, you bring people in. ”

"Huh?"

"You find six people to come over, and you will take turns in this pavilion.

No one is to come near without my orders. ”

"But on duty day and night?"

Yang Shouwen nodded, "That's right." It is to be on duty day and night. ”

"Whoa!"

Yang Congyi bowed down to receive the order, and Yang Shouwen turned around and walked down the pavilion.

"In addition, you go to Beishi in the afternoon, find Shen Qingzhi, and inquire about some things for me."

"What's the matter?"

"You come here."

Yang Shouwen waved his hand. motioned for Yang Congyi to approach, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Yang Congyi nodded again and again.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The news of the General Immortal Poetry Club is intensifying.

One day, in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, there are stories of Yang Shouwen's hundreds of poems about fighting wine.

At the same time, the story of "Journey to the West" gradually spread among the people with Yang Shouwen's fame.

Many people don't even know what "Journey to the West" is about.

But after hearing that it was Yang Shouwen's work, he immediately called it. It's just that at the beginning, only 1,000 sets of "Journey to the West" were printed, and there were only about 300 sets in Luoyang City, most of which were in the hands of the nobles of the world, and they were not circulated among the people.

For a while, there are more and more voices looking for "Journey to the West", and there are more and more people who want to know the content of "Journey to the West".

Yang Shouwen didn't care about this.

After the General Immortal Meeting, he became much more low-key, and he didn't go out of the door, and he didn't step out of the second door.

"Father, it seems that there is no need for children to add fuel to the fire, this Yang Qingzhi is already famous."

In the garden of Di Mansion, Di Guangyuan stood respectfully in front of Di Renjie.

Di Renjie's complexion looked worse than some time ago. Although it was already early summer, he was still wearing thick clothes, his face was as pale as paper, and his whole person looked even more bony and shapely. In his hand, there is a volume of selected poems, which contains eighty-one poems made by Yang Shouwen at the General Immortal Conference. After listening to Di Guangyuan's words, he gently put the selected poems on the table.

He looked tired, as if his whole body was broken.

And in fact, he was indeed on the verge of collapse!

It all started ten days ago, when Di Renjie received a secret letter from Li Yuanfang.

It stands to reason that Li Yuanfang and Di Renjie have no subordinate relationship. He is the general of Zuo Fengchenwei, and although Di Renjie is the prime minister, he cannot control Li Yuanfang. However, Li Yuanfang still wrote him this secret letter.

Li Yuanfang went to Weizhou to investigate a case.

But when he arrived in Weizhou, he found something closely related to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie's youngest son, Di Guangzhao, joined the army as a Sigong of Weizhou. Di Renjie was the assassin of Weizhou, and did a lot of good things for the people of Weizhou in office, so that the people of Weizhou established an ancestral hall for Di Renjie. However, after Di Guangzhao arrived in Weizhou, it was okay at first, and the reputation was also very outstanding. But with the passage of time, after Di Guangzhao's foundation in Weizhou became more and more solid, his mentality also quietly changed, and the whole person changed.

Li Yuanfang's letter wrote: Di Guangzhao was greedy and tyrannical, and the people were miserable, and he smashed Di Renjie's ancestral hall in a rage.

In this day and age, this is no small matter.

The Chinese people are extremely patient, and if it were not for the point where they could not survive, they would not have risen up to resist. Not to mention, Di Renjie once had a favor to the people of Weizhou. In this case, they still smashed Di Renjie's ancestral hall, and it can be imagined that what Di Guangzhao did in Weizhou has really reached the point of common anger of people and gods.

Di Renjie cherished his reputation all his life, but he didn't expect it to ......

Li Yuanfang would definitely not deceive him in this kind of thing, so Di Renjie fell ill after receiving the letter.

It is precisely for this reason that he did not appear in the General Immortal Poetry Society.

Hearing Di Guangyuan's words, Di Renjie finally came back to his senses.

Just now, he was holding Yang Shouwen's poetry selection, but in fact, his mind flew to Weizhou, thousands of miles away, thinking about how to solve Di Guangzhao's matter.

"Erlang, from now on, you might as well walk around with Yang Qingzhi a lot, don't have any thoughts and thoughts, just try to be good with him. The General Immortal Poetry Club has achieved the name of Yang Qingzhi's immortal, and it can be regarded as allowing him to stand firm.

I heard that the princess and he have already moved around, so we don't have to do it again.

After all, it is a saint's business, and no matter what we do now, it may be that both sides are not good, so it is better to stand by and watch.

However, since Yang Qingzhi has such a talent, it will be good for you to walk around with him more.

It was you who invited him to Luoyang at the beginning, and now it is reasonable to visit, and you can handle this matter yourself. ”

"The child understands!"

Di Guangyuan looked at his father's pale face, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He knew that San Lang's matter might really hurt his father's heart...... Di Renjie's body was not very good in the first place, but after being stimulated by this incident, he became even weaker.

"Father, the matter of Saburo ......"

"If Saburo's matter is true, he will be dealt with by his own law."

Di Renjie took a deep breath, and after muttering for a long time, he suddenly said: "Erlang, help me back to the room to change clothes, I want to enter the palace to face the saint." ”

"Now?"

Di Renjie smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, if you ask the saint earlier, San Lang will have more life."

Li Yuanfang could never have deceived me about this, and since he wrote a letter to me, he must have written a letter to the saint. Rather than the saints coming to me to rebuke me at that time, I should take the initiative to ask for sin. By the way, there are some things to consult with the saints. (To be continued.) )
