Chapter 57: Good Gifts

On November 15, there are only seven days left before the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of Nanli. Recently, there have been bloody cases in Phoenix City, and there are many rumors in the market, and the pressure on the criminal department is quite great.

The methods of the crime were bloody, there were many dead, and cutting off the Buddha's head provoked public anger...... But these are still secondary, what really makes the court pay attention to the deceased in the previous three cases, all of which are related to one thing.

In the counterinsurgency, Murong Boss was not in the city, Xiao Wan used the power of the family to help Song Yang a lot, and made great contributions, when the merit was rewarded afterwards, Xiao Wan did not take credit, but asked the king of Zhenxi through Song Yang to put her credit on her father, this kind of filial piety The prince naturally promised, and now outsiders only think that it is Murong Boss who presides over the situation outside the city and orders his protΓ©gΓ© to help' The first emperor's revenge, not to mention the Great Recommendation Temple, the blessing ceremony is their lead contact, the abbot Wuxian and the old nun of Gushi, are regarded by the people as the right-hand man of the Wuyu Master. It is worth mentioning that after the blessing ceremony, the reputation of the original little-known lonely stone rose sharply, and not long ago received an invitation from a large nunnery in Linfu to preach at the altar, people are not in Beijing, otherwise they are afraid of being more auspicious; The third person who was assassinated was indeed a big man, surnamed Zhou, and the official worshiped the squire of the Ministry of Labor, who was originally a member of King Jing's rebellion against the party, and he was the first to stand up for the new emperor after the defeat. In order to appease people's hearts, Prime Minister Zuo and others did not punish him, but instead carried him out to make a living signboard. In fact, after the counterinsurgency, the officials of the DPRK and China were extra careful, and they were accompanied by a large number of guards in order to prevent accidents, but Zhou Shilang was a 'general', and he didn't dare to bring too many people so as not to arouse suspicion.

The dead are all related to the rebellion of King Jing, the assassins are proficient in poison in addition to their martial arts, and many monks in Dajianfu Temple were poisoned to death, and it is not difficult to guess where the murderers came from...... In cases related to enemy countries, Lord Du will not slack off.

At dusk, Lord Du sat alone in the lobby of the Criminal Department, his eyes slightly closed and he didn't say a word, if there was no accident, he would sit for a whole night...... Whenever there is a big case in Beijing that has not been solved, he will be like this, staying in the yamen and not going home, nor throwing a tantrum to reprimand anyone, just sitting like that. Anyway, if he doesn't leave, no one in the Criminal Department will dare to take leave or rest.

Master Du usually doesn't say much, but everyone understands what he means: if you can't solve the case, everyone will keep working until you are tired to death.

It's a pity that everyone's efforts in the Criminal Department have been in vain, and at this moment, Straw is sitting in a big car with a smile on his face, and he just left the north gate of the imperial city...... When the assassins sent by Yan Guo left Phoenix City, the thieves from Nanli also laughed and said goodbye to Eye City.

The arson has been prepared, and it almost caught fire, and Li Mingji is responsible for the last step, but it is conceivable that the fire will immediately impose martial law in the city, and it will be difficult for outsiders to fly, so Song Yang, Xiao Zhu, and Mrs. Bo all left in advance.

Song Yang listened to Ren Churong's instructions, set fire and evacuated in advance for the sake of safety, and did not go to the cusp of the 39th Daqing. So this time they were very calm, full of big bags and small bags, and brought a lot of gifts.

The gifts are all purchased by Xiaoyu himself, and it is easy to go out of the house, how can he go back empty-handed? There is nothing to say about the things brought to the father, the queen and the princess, relatives and friends, and it is good that the heart is there, but the gifts of the two people make Her Royal Highness the princess take great pains, one is the third sister Chu Rong, and the other is the iron guard Qin Zun. ran out secretly, the most unbearable thing was the two of them, and in comparison, the third sister was easy to do, after all, she was a biological sister, no matter how angry she was, she could always fool the past with a hippie smile, but Qin Cone... As soon as he thought of the ugly man, Xiao Yu felt sorry for him from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, Qin Cone's gift was the most generous, a blue and green silk robe cut by the famous master of Baoli Pavilion, a gold and emerald ebony cigarette stick, and a short knife with a good fish skin sheath on the steel mouth, just this little catch also muttered that the gift was not enough, and discussed with Song Yang when he went out of the city, and when he went back, he passed by the big city, and he wanted to go around again to see what good things were.

Song Yang smiled and shook his head: "It's no problem to buy more gifts, but you don't have to feel too guilty, you say that Brother Qin is so good?" Maybe he deliberately let you go. ”

Xiao Zhu disagreed, she felt that her deception was perfect.

Ye Feifei replaced Li Mingji and kept sending them outside the city, the little girl took out a wooden box from the burden on her back, handed it to Song Yang, and said with a smile: "This is a gift from my master to Gongzi and Miss Ren, she wants me to wish the two of them to grow old together and raise their eyebrows." ”

Xiao Zhumei thanked him zizily: "Thank you Li, everyone..."Song Yang and the Leaky Frost Pavilion are too familiar, so you don't need to be polite, and said with a smile: "Everyone Li has a heart, what kind of treasure is it?" ”

Ye Feifei shook her head, she didn't know what the gift was: "Everyone Li said that this gift should be opened and looked at after the two of them go back, so be sure to do it." With that, she pulled Xiao Yu aside again. The identities of the two girls are very different, but during this time in Eye City, they mixed really well, and Ye Feifei also had a gift for Xiao Yu when they were separated.

Ye Feifei mysteriously took out a booklet from his arms, wrapped it in red cloth, stuffed it into Xiao Zhu's hand, and whispered: "When you and Song Yang are concerned, two people look at it." ”

Then everyone said goodbye, Ye Feifei turned around and went back to the city, Song Yang and the others went to the high place on the outskirts of the city that had been selected a long time ago, preparing to watch the 'fireworks' at night, when they climbed the heights, Xiao Yu couldn't resist his curiosity no matter what, pulled Song Yang to leave his companions temporarily, found a secluded place, opened Ye Feifei's gift and saw that it was a spring palace booklet, Xiao Yu sighed, his face turned red, and he said: "This girl... Not serious! ”

Ye Feifei is not the only one who is not serious, and when Song Yang opened the wooden box given by Li Mingji, the two of them were dumbfounded, and it was also a set of spring palace sets. Song Yang laughed: "Don't they have a good heart?" ”

Xiao Zhu's heart is weak for no reason: "You be quiet, put it away... Don't let anyone else see it. "Such a good gift must not be shown to others, only to oneself.

…… Yan Guoshi Jingtai's current state is somewhat similar to Du Shangshu, sitting quietly in the apse of Lei Yintai, closing his eyes and remaining silent, Hua Xiaofei is also there, he has to wait for Emperor Jingtai to leave the city after the 39th ceremony.

After sitting for a long time, Jingtai suddenly opened his eyes: "I'll tell you something." ”

"Say." Hua Xiaofei is concise and to the point.

"There is no news from the Genting Living Buddha, his affairs have been defeated, and most of them will not come back." The national teacher sighed, looked at him with regret, and then changed the subject: "I'll discuss something with you again...... Didn't you ask Straw to bring back a few heads from Phoenix, and if you could, could you lend it to me? ”

Knowing that Song Yang had escaped, Hua Xiaofei's face was gloomy, but after hearing the last words of the national teacher, the lion-like old man laughed again.

The national teacher said helplessly: "I said I didn't want it before, but Jingtai celebrated the festival, but I couldn't get a decent gift, it's really ...... I don't want the head that the straw boy brought back in vain, I will pass on some good recipes to compensate him. ”

Hua Xiaofei smiled and shook his head: "It's okay to give you the head, but you'd better be prepared, I took him to Phoenix City to cut the weighty head, but how heavy these heads are, I can't say it's good, you have to rely on his camera." The most important thing is that the straw is never greedy, and it always reaps when it is good... Therefore, the head he brought back may not be able to get his hands on it. ”

"Better than nothing! To admit it, this time I took advantage of the child. The national teacher also smiled, followed the conversation, and his tone became much more serious: "Young people know how to accept it when they see it, which is very good." ”

Hua Xiaofei nodded: "What I value him most is this, when doing things, I only look at opportunities, not reluctantly, not recklessly......" Halfway through his words, suddenly a series of thunderous noises came from outside, and a huge sound pressure swept through the city, and the whole earth trembled! Yan Ding jumped up, and ordered the disciples on standby outside the door in ventriloquism: "Explore, what's the matter." ”

Without waiting for the disciple to return, Yanding and Hua Xiaofei had already jumped onto the eaves of the main hall, and looked around, only to see the fire disc in the hinterland of the eye city turned one after another, on a peaceful night, of course, such a fire was deliberately done by someone, and at this moment, Yanding has not yet seen the trend of the fire, just frowning and watching, such a thing is taken care of by the Praetorian Guard, and he does not need to do anything as a national teacher.

But after looking at it for a while, the eyes of the national teacher suddenly became sad, and a heavy layer of fire was connected into pieces with the help of the wind, moving extremely fast, and everything on the way was swallowed up by the flames, and the raging fire swept towards the palace!

Just when the national teacher and Hua Xiaofei were discussing what gift to give to Yan Jingtai's 39th anniversary, Li Mingji also presented a big gift to celebrate the enthronement of Emperor Nanli.

The fire has become a trend of burning the sky, and it is impossible to stop it with manpower, Yanding took a deep breath, and said to Hua Xiaofei first: "You rush to the palace with the gold medal to help Jingtai leave safely." He also issued a series of orders to his disciples, the monks went out of the temple to appease the people, and the monks and soldiers went to the streets to maintain order, and the fire was irreparable, but the mistake of the 'September 8 riots' must not be repeated.

Unsurprisingly, Jingtai became furious, and the palace was so busy that people were on their backs, and they were ready to evacuate again; The city was in chaos, and the forbidden army was all dispatched to guard against the turmoil, and at the same time, the four gates were closed to prevent the arsonists from escaping from the chaos...... Two imperial cities, two celebrations, but the situation is diametrically opposite, Phoenix City murders continue, but in the end, the little emperor's enthronement ceremony was grandly held, and the people watched the salute and the soldiers relied on, solemn and lively; Eye City has been peaceful...... Then a fire burned down the palace again, and the emperor fled from Beijing again, and talked about the 39th Daqing.

…… A fire was set without danger, and the return journey was also calm, returning to the territory of Nanli, Song Yang and his entourage first took Phoenix City, this time the arson was the idea of the old man, and after coming back, he had to explain to the king of Zhenxi first.

'The fire in the eye city, the Yan Palace is gone', under the good news, the king of Zhenxi saw Song Yang again, and his eyes and tone also brought some praise. In addition, he also deliberately led Song Yang to meet the little emperor.

The appearance of the little emperor is sixty percent similar to Fenglong, after ascending the throne, he opened the year name Fuyuan, saw Changchunhou, and pretended to be steady, because he had just 'taken office' and was young, and he couldn't remember all the words, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Song Yang wanted to laugh and was afraid of hurting the doll, so he endured it and finally perfunctory this time.

When he arrived in Beijing, it was already the second month of the lunar month, so he simply stayed in Phoenix City for the New Year, Ren Churong also wanted to come back, but he was busy with Fengyi; On the other hand, the prince felt sorry for his beloved daughter and did not allow her to go back and forth anymore. In the turn of the year, on the sixth day of the first month, Song Yang and his entourage set off again and rushed from the imperial city to their own fiefdom.

As soon as he entered the scope of the fiefdom, Ren Churong brought a group of idle people from his family to greet him, and the county lord was happy and approached Song Yang: "Ren Churong welcomes the triumphant return of Changchun Hou, and I want to thank Hou Ye for not having any extraneous branches on this trip to Dayan, thank you and thank you." ”

Song Yang smiled: "I'm just so worry-free? ”

Ren Churong smiled: "Master Hou is too modest, but this time there is someone else who doesn't make people worry, it's not you." As he spoke, his eyes turned and he stared at Ren Xiaoyu steadily.

The princess immediately diverted the topic, and shipped out the most stammering tone: "Sister, I have brought you a lot of gifts, all of which are carefully selected, and there are ......" Ren Churong's smile remained the same, his eyes remained the same, and he should not be silent, completely unmoved, the more Xiao Yu said, the quieter his voice became, his eyes blinked, and he wanted to find a life-saving straw, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the embarrassment suddenly turned into pride: "Hey, Xiao Rong'er, your hairpin is so beautiful." ”

Song Yang came back, of course Ren Churong was happy, he got up this morning to freshen up and dress up, hesitating, hesitating... In the end, she put on the crested hairpin that Song Yang brought to her when she came back from the Cicada Yaksha, but she didn't expect Ren Xiaozhu's eyes to be sharp, and she grabbed this 'little braid' in one hand. Although Xiao Yu didn't say it directly, it was enough to make Ren Churong embarrassed. The county lord Rong was stunned at first, then blushed, and couldn't say a word.

Ren Xiaozhu laughed so much that his dimples were almost in his mouth, and no one else knew what kind of dumb riddle the sisters were fighting, but the two girls were funny, which also attracted everyone's attention, as for Song Yang, he simply didn't bother with the two of them, and went to greet others with a smile.

Her Royal Highness the princess unexpectedly won the battle, she was very happy, and then she saw Qin Cone who had just returned to Fengyi from the crowd, this time she didn't dare to laugh anymore, put on a sad face, ran quickly to the ugly man, and apologized pitifully: "Brother Qin, it's Xiaofu who is playful, and I'm sorry to be very ......."

How could Qin Cone let the young lady apologize, and there was no blame in his heart, so he hurriedly waved his hand and laughed a few words, and changed the topic, as for before, whether he was like Song Yang said, 'deliberately let the little catch a horse', he didn't mention it himself, and no one could know the truth.

The ugly man was not surprised, Xiao Zhu's spirit was greatly lifted, as if he was offering a treasure, he picked up the gift he brought to Qin Cone, and then ran back to Ren Churong's side, and whispered: "Third sister, don't be surprised, don't dare to ...... next time."

Ren Churong was indeed ready to blame his sister, but it was not that the county lord himself felt angry, but that he wanted to give Qin Cone an explanation. Hongbo Wei is the guard and attendant of Hongbo Mansion, mainly serving the prince and his family; But they were also colleagues and comrades-in-arms who galloped through the western frontier with the king of Zhenxi and resisted strong enemies, and their identities were far from being comparable to ordinary subordinates.

However, Xiao Yu is quite sensible, and he doesn't care about his noble status in front of everyone, and he personally ran to apologize to Qin Cone, and Cheng He didn't need to say anything more, and said with a smile: "Well, the five words 'don't dare next time', you have been talking to me every day since you can speak, open your mouth and show me, see if you have a callus on the tip of your tongue?" ”

The prince has many children, so many brothers and sisters in Hongbo Mansion, a lot of honest and obedient, but the most sensible Ren Churong is better than this most disobedient Ren Xiaozhuo, this is God's destined fate, and if you can't change it, you won't be really angry.

At this time, a little doll flashed out of the crowd, ran to Song Yang and knelt down, respectfully and meticulously to see the teacher, and the little grape had a good time: "Jing'er welcomes the master and respects the big frame." ”

Xiaowa is clever, bold, and disciplined, Master Hu gave birth to a good son, no one in the feudal town doesn't like him, Song Yang stretched out his hand to hug him, and asked, "How is it, have you thought about who to learn from you?" ”

Grape nodded solemnly, he didn't want to talk to Tan Tuzi anymore, and the new idea was said for the first time, and his tone was a little tentative: "Can you learn martial arts with Genting Living Buddha?" ”

Genting Zhiwei Fengyi is well known, even if no one deliberately tells the grapes anything, Xiaowa also knew the whole story when listening to the adults' chatter, and the grapes were taken aback at that time, and one person defeated all the good hands in the Fengyi, and the living Buddha did not hurt anyone...... Strong martial arts, steady shots, and good thoughts, everything has been captured by the heroic appearance in the hearts of grapes, coupled with the aggressive surname of the male baby, grapes want to worship Yunding as a teacher the most.

The dangerous things that happened in the fiefdom have already been reported to the king of Zhenxi, Song Yang had heard the prince say it carefully during the New Year, and he also knew that Yunding was still in the fiefdom, so he didn't feel strange when he heard the idea of grapes, but he just shook his head and smiled: "Worship the living Buddha as a teacher and get home, you can't get married, your father wants to know that you are out of my house, he can't fight with me?" ”

Saying that, he handed the baby to others, and a group of people went to Yanziping. Not long after leaving, Song Yang found that Fengyi had changed a lot compared to when he left, and the most obvious thing was that there was a garrison here. It was not a private army secretly recruited by Chang Chunhou, but a serious Nanli officer and soldier, who set up camps and set up cards to check back and forth.

After the last time the feudal was in distress, the king of Zhenxi set up a military horse in his son-in-law's territory, this move is not only to protect his family, but more importantly, there are many nobles in the fiefdom now, in addition to the only son of the prime minister of Zuo, there is also a 'first emperor' of the Southern Li Kingdom, I can't help but the prince does not pay attention to it, in case the news leaks one day, Fenglong was robbed by the enemy, and Nanli will immediately have a big chaos.

In addition to the garrison, Song Yang also encountered several huge convoys along the way, some entering and some leaving.

Ren Churong explained from the side: "The weapons that are transported in are all weapons, as my father and you told before, the weapons eliminated by the Nanli Warehouse, we have already set the number and paid the accounts here a while ago, and the goods have been sent one after another, and it won't be long before the barbarians and stone guys can be equipped with a new one." ”

Song Yang nodded happily, and then pointed to a convoy that was leaving Fengyi and asked, "What about the ones who went out, what are they transporting?" He could see clearly that the vehicle was heavy and clearly full of cargo.

"It's also a weapon, produced by Nanwei." Ren Churong replied.

Song Yang was confused...... Nanwei built the new army equipment for the country, and the order was to accept and ship it after all the construction was completed, and as far as he knew, it was far from the time to complete it.

Even if it was completed, this batch of weapons was also for Xiguan, and it should be shipped westward, but now the convoy is heading east.
