Chapter 373: Li Cripple
Li Longji talked eloquently, and his words even revealed the intention of exculpating Yang Shouwen.
Originally, yesterday everyone had already decided that Yang Shouwen was acting recklessly, and they surrounded Puhui Temple after listening to rumors. As a result, Su Wei did not die, which made the government lose face, and even made Yang Shouwen's prestige in the crowd disappear all at once.
Can ...... now
Yang Shouwen bluntly said that he saw someone killed with his own eyes, and made it clear that it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake Su Wei.
In addition, he was attacked on the way, and Master Shenhui disappeared without a trace, which suddenly made Yang Shouwen turn the situation back.
Li Longji was even more determined to stand on Yang Shouwen's side, while Gao Jian and the others were silent, looking at Yang Shouwen with complicated expressions.
However, Yang Shouwen's heart was even more vigilant.
Mingxiu Communication: Beware of Saburo!
What role does Li Longji play in this matter? Or rather, what role is the Prime Minister's Mansion playing?
Yang Shouwen was a little unclear, and he couldn't tell who was an enemy and who was a friend.
In short, from now on, he has to be more careful. Don't look at Changzhou now that it has returned to the control of the imperial court, Di Guangyuan has taken office, so that Changzhou has a county order again. However, Yang Shouwen felt that the situation seemed to have become more complicated.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fa Yan and Fa Hui didn't admit anything in the end, and even the other monks said that they didn't know where Shen Hui went.
These monks were very hard-mouthed, and Di Guangyuan had just arrived, so he didn't know the situation and couldn't make up his mind.
In desperation. After Di Guangyuan and Cui Xuanwei and others discussed. It was decided to temporarily imprison Fa Yan Fa Hui and other monks in prison. Meantime. He seconded a team of soldiers and horses to Cui Xuanwei and continued to be stationed in the Napuhui Temple.
By the time everything was arranged, it was almost midnight.
Cui Xuanwei originally planned to wash the dust for Di Guangyuan, but it was too late to see that it was too late, so he had to give up.
Yang Shouwen said goodbye and returned to his residence, and saw Lu Chengzhi, Yang Jasmine and others waiting in the house. Seeing Yang Shouwen come in, Lu Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and bowed to Yang Shouwen, and said softly, "Ah Lang." Great work. ”
"You're welcome, sit down."
Yang Shouwen walked into the room and put the Crow Nine Sword on the desk.
"Fugui, go find some food, I have been running around today, and I have only eaten some wine and fruit so far, and I am really hungry."
Fei Fugui took the order and left, while Yang Chouer and Yang Jasmine were on guard outside the house.
"Unexpectedly, this thief jumped out by himself, but he solved Ah Lang's predicament."
Lu Chengzhi gave Yang Shouwen a bowl of water. He smiled and said, "I was really shocked when I received Jasmine's message." ”
Yang Shouwen smiled. He took the water and took a sip.
"yes, I didn't expect the other party to make such a move.
However, that Shenhui is by no means the kind of brainless person, judging from his performance outside the gate of Puhui Temple yesterday, this person is extremely stable. Such a steady person, but doing such a brainless thing, I'm afraid there are still some strange things in it.
In addition, I didn't ask you to find Wang Haibin to surround Puhui Temple, why did he go to the official road to set up martial law? ”
"This ......"
Lu Chengzhi replied: "When I got the news, I immediately reported to Cui Tingshi.
Cui Tingshi was also ready to listen to my idea, but was stopped by the prince, saying that he was going to answer Ah Lang first. He asked Wang Haibin to lead his troops to the official road to set up a card, and then he transferred troops and horses to go to Puhui Temple to arrest that Shenhui.
This delay lasted almost half an hour...... By the time Zhou Sizhi and Pei Liancheng arrived at Puhui Temple, Shenhui had already fled. ”
Although Lu Chengzhi didn't say anything, his words revealed his suspicion of Li Longji.
At first glance, Li Longji sent Wang Haibin to pick up Yang Shouwen because he cared about Yang Shouwen. However, in the situation at that time, Yang Shouwen was already safe, so why be in such a hurry? Let Wang Haibin surround Puhui Temple, and then transfer troops and horses to meet Yang Shouwen. However, Li Longji blocked it like this, but it was delayed for half an hour.
Half an hour is almost an hour.
Yang Shouwen nodded and did not answer Lu Chengzhi's words.
At this time, Fei Fugui took a basket of cakes made of glutinous rice from the room, as well as a large pot of meat soup.
Yang Shouwen picked up the cake and took a bite, which was soft and crispy.
He motioned for Fei Fugui to give Yang Jasmine some of the cakes, and then ate another bite of the meat soup.
This meat soup, made with pork as the material, is very light and has the characteristics of Suzhou.
However, for Yang Shouwen, who is accustomed to the taste of the north, although the meat soup is delicious, it is not as delicious as the aunt's cooking.
"I met with Solvay today."
"Oh?"
"This man ......"
Yang Shouwen took a bite of the cake and thought for a while: "Very calm and very shrewd."
I don't know if he was real or not, but the person who was killed that night at Puhui Temple was exactly the same as him. Moreover, he behaved normally in front of me...... You know what I mean by normal? It's the kind of Solvay who is the real Solvay, not the fake Solvay. I'm also a little confused now, if he was the real Suvi, then who was killed the night before? ”
Speaking of this, Yang Shouwen shook his head, as if he wanted to shake out the confusion in his mind.
"Is there such a thing?"
Lu Chengzhi gasped, and said after a while: "If he is a fake Su Wei, it means that they have premeditated." ”
"yes, I think so too."
"Then Ah Lang can see the fourth Ming?"
Yang Shouwen glanced at Lu Chengzhi, hesitated, and did not answer.
Lu Chengzhi is his person, but in the face of the current situation, he still decided not to answer.
Lu Chengzhi was also very smart, and when he saw that Yang Shouwen didn't speak, he knew Yang Shouwen's intentions, so he didn't ask any further.
"Early tomorrow morning, Su Wei is going to Wu County, saying that Su Niangzi is calling.
I have already told him that I will send someone with him. Hachiro, I want to ask you to make a hard trip and take Fugui and Jasmine to Wu County together. Your mind is more delicate than mine, and your eyes are more poisonous than mine. Go with him. Maybe you can see the flaws. ”
Lu Chengzhi didn't say a word. Bow down and receive the command.
and Yang Shouwen talked for a while. Before you know it, the time has passed.
Since Lu Chengzhi had a task, he quit and left, and went back to the room to rest first.
Yang Shouwen brought Yang Jasmine and Fei Fugui again, and told Fei Fugui to protect Lu Chengzhi, and let Yang Jasmine not leave an inch.
With everything in order, he lay down.
picked up the book of "Wuzhong Miscellaneous" from the couch table, and Yang Shouwen read it absentmindedly, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Brother Son. Brother Son! ”
A soft call rang in my ears.
Yang Shouwen opened his eyes and saw a pretty little girl standing in front of him, looking at him coquettishly and smiling.
"Brother son, why don't you come to the young lady? Young lady, I miss you so much! ”
"Young lady!"
That familiar smile made Yang Shouwen shudder and sit up.
Standing in front of him was the young lady.
She didn't look the same, just as she had been in Changping. Pink carved jade, as cute as a porcelain doll.
Yang Shouwen hurriedly stretched out his hand. I want to hug the young lady.
Who knows, the smile on the young lady's face suddenly disappeared, and a long sword appeared in her hand, followed by the sword light, and stabbed towards Yang Shouwen.
"Young lady!"
Yang Shouwen woke up with a sigh of shock, cold sweat on his forehead.
The morning light shone through the window into the room, and it was already dawn.
Yang Shouwen sat on the couch and took a few breaths, trying to calm himself down.
Damn, why is this weird dream again?
How could the young lady make a move on him?
Thinking of this, Yang Shouwen rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and then stood up from the couch.
Mei Niangzi still has no news, and the young lady has no news...... Yang Shouwen pushed open the door and walked out of the room.
It was dawn, but it was a little gloomy, as if it was going to rain.
Yang Shouwen stood on the porch, looking at the silent courtyard.
Shangguan Wan'er once said that Gongsun Yi, the husband of Namei Niangzi, has a good relationship with the Pei family in Hedong. Along the way, Yang Shouwen also asked Pei Guangting on the side, but Pei Guangting was a scholar and didn't seem to know much about the people in the rivers and lakes. Yang Shouwen felt that Pei Guangting probably didn't know the whereabouts of the Mei lady.
Pei Guangting didn't know, so who should he look for?
Yang Shouwen remembered Li Longji, who had said that he was willing to help find it.
But in the current situation, Li Longji is afraid that ...... It is better to ask for others than for yourself, Yang Shouwen decided that he still had to find a way by himself.
"Ah Lang, do you want to wash?"
At this moment, Yang Chou'er came with water.
Seeing Yang Shouwen standing outside the door, he put down the basin, put the bristle toothbrush and green salt in place, and said to Yang Shouwen: "Mr. Yin Shi Lu took Yang Jasmine and Fei Fugui out. At that time, Ah Lang was still resting, so he did not report it. ”
"Oh, I see."
Yang Shouwen took the toothbrush, dipped it in green salt and washed it.
"Yang Chou'er, you go to the back garden to find Yao Sanlang in a while, I will go out later, and the two of you will come with me."
When Yang Chou'er heard this, she immediately agreed and turned to leave.
Yang Shouwen finished washing, threw the towel into the basin, and then returned to the house.
After a while, Yang Chouer came with Yao Sanlang.
Yang Shouwen was fully dressed, picked up the Nine Crows Sword from the table, and walked out of the room.
"San Lang, you said yesterday that those beams in Wang Xianzun's study are the lacquer on Li Cripple in the north of the city?"
"yes."
"Do you know where he lives?"
When Yao Sanlang heard this, he immediately laughed, "What Zheng Shilang said, of course I know where the lame man lives!" What, is the Levy Lang looking for him? ”
"Exactly."
Yang Shouwen spoke, and walked down the porch.
"You come with me, and by the way, you can also help me translate...... Hehe, if no one explains your Suzhou dialect to me, I really don't understand it. ”
Yao Sanlang said: "Sent by the levy man, the villain obeys his fate." ”
In this way, the three of them walked out of the side door of the county office and soon came to the street along the alley.
The sky was overcast, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry.
Yao Sanlang led the way in front, Yang Shouwen followed behind him, and the three of them passed through the two fang markets and came to the north of the city.
The Fang market in the north of the city is named Guantang Fang, which is named because it is adjacent to the Guantang River.
"Ah Lang, that cripple Li lives at the end of Watergate Lane."
Yao Sanlang took Yang Shouwen and the two to a narrow alley and pointed to the end of the alley. He said as he led the way ahead. At this moment, a light rain suddenly fell from the sky. The door of a house in the alley opened, and a woman stepped out of it. She stood in the courtyard to collect her clothes, looked over the low courtyard wall, and saw Yao Sanlang and the others, so she asked with a smile: "Sanlang, aren't you looking for Li Cripple?" ”
"Yes, sister-in-law, I'm here to find Cripple Li."
"I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know if I'm at home.
If you have any work, you can take care of my family...... In terms of craftsmanship, my Ah Lang doesn't have to be lame and bad. ”
The woman laughed with Yao Saburo, and then went back to the house with her clothes.
"This piece is all craftsmen.
The man of Ma's sister-in-law's family is named Hu Erlang, and he is also a famous lacquer maker in this neighborhood. Hehe, before Li Cripple came, he was a first-class craftsman. ”
Yang Shouwen didn't care about Nama's sister-in-law, but after hearing Yao Sanlang say, 'Before Li Cripple moved here', his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Li Cripple is not from Changzhou?" ”
"Uh, no!"
Yao Sanlang replied while leading the way: "It seems that Li Cripple moved from Lingnan to Changzhou...... However, he spoke so eloquently Suzhou that if Zheng Shilang didn't say it, I had to forget that he was an outsider. But his craftsmanship is really good, Wang Xianzun once said that even if Li Cripple's craftsmanship is placed in his clan, it is definitely outstanding. ”
Wang Yuankai is a disciple of the Taiyuan Wang family, and what he said about it also proves that Li Cripple's skills are indeed good.
You must know that most of those wealthy families have excellent craftsmen. And those craftsmen who work in the big family can be regarded as outstanding.
When Yang Shouwen heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
At this time, the three of them had reached the end of the alley.
Li Cripple lives in a small courtyard at the end of here, and beyond the low courtyard wall, you can see that the courtyard is filled with messy items.
The courtyard door was closed, and the door inside was also closed.
Yao Sanlang stepped forward and slapped the chaimen and shouted loudly: "Cripple Li, is Cripple Li here?" ”
Inside, no one answered.
Yang Shouwen rubbed his nose and was about to speak, but he saw Yang Chou'er's face on the side suddenly change, and he said softly: "Ah Lang, there is a problem." ”
"What?"
"Like, it smells."
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Yang Shouwen to speak, he rushed forward, and crossed the wall with his hand on the courtyard wall.
Yao Sanlang was startled, and hurriedly turned his head and said, "Zhengshi Lang......"
It's just that before he finished speaking, Yang Shouwen had already stepped forward and kicked open the courtyard door.
Yang Shouwen ran into the courtyard, and Yang Chou'er had already come to the door of the house. He sniffled twice at the door, then slammed the door open.
Yang Shouwen also happened to come to the door of the room at this time, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he saw a swarm of mosquitoes and flies flying out of the house, accompanied by a corpse stench. Yang Shouwen hurriedly flashed sideways, and covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves.
He turned around again and looked into the room, his eyes frozen...... (To be continued.) )
