Chapter 112: Seeking Skin with the Tiger
Dachang rushed back to Jianle City the day before the funeral.
The funeral of the Golden Retriever and the Liu family of six, except for the cemetery with excellent scenery and feng shui, everything else Li Sangrou did very simply, and those who came to mourn were also blocked by the order.
Returning from the cemetery, Li Sangrou instructed the big head to push the blind man out and close the courtyard door.
Dachang stewed a pot of green vegetables and tofu pork belly.
After eating, Li Sangrou looked at everyone and ordered: "I want to go out for a while, things at home and in the shop, I am always in charge, this time, you eat well, work hard, don't go out to build Lecheng." ”
Dachang looked up at Li Sangrou.
"Don't worry, it's not to kill. After I left, if there is anything in the shop, you can't weigh the depth, so go to Shizi and ask him to show me.
At home, you can discuss with the dark horse in a hurry, and wait for me to come back if you are not in a hurry. Li Sangrou met Dachang's gaze and continued.
"How long are you going?" Da Chang asked in a muffled voice.
"I don't know, it shouldn't be long. I don't want people to put it on, and I won't deliver the letter back in between.
Don't worry, there's nothing dangerous about this trip. When the prince wanted to ask, he said that I went out for a walk and went for a walk. Li Sangrou continued.
"Okay." Datsune's heart is a little wider.
The next morning, when Dachang got up, the door of the main house was open, and Li Sangrou had already left.
……………………
These days, Gu Xi sent people to Baihu Bridge at least twice a day to take a look, and then see how Li Sangrou was doing.
Not long after dawn, Gu Xi knew that Li Sangrou had left Jianle City, went out for a walk, and went for a walk.
There was no early dynasty on this day, Gu Xi went straight into the Ming'an Palace, and told Gu Jin about Li Sangrou's going out to relax.
Gu Jin sat upright with a grim expression.
"Can you find her, put her on her?" After a while, Gu Jin looked at Gu Xi and asked.
Gu Xi shook his head, "On the last trip, a few people stared, all of them were good hands, and they couldn't keep an eye on it, and now, she is gone, I don't know if she left last night or early this morning." ”
After a pause, Gu Xi couldn't tell whether it was admiration or emotion, and said with a wry smile: "If she doesn't want people to find her, she can be like a drop of water into the river, and there is nowhere to find it." ”
Gu Jin was silent for a while, then slowly leaned back and leaned on the pillow.
He didn't know what she was doing, but with his intuition, he felt that her trip must be a great thing.
He was worried.
……………………
Five days later, outside the city of Anqing.
Li Sangrou jumped down from a big car, waved goodbye to the old lady in the car, watched the car go away, went around in a circle, and went to Yingjiang Temple.
When the night fell, Li Sangrou stood at the foot of the mountain gate of Yingjiang Temple, listened to the sound of the evening class, and looked up at the majestic hall and the towering Zhenfeng Tower.
After watching for a while, I walked around the mountain gate and along the temple wall, and looked as I walked.
After a crisp sound of the bell, the evening class ended, and the sound of footsteps mixed with the sound of buzzing words, and it was not long before the temple fell silent again.
Li Sangrou climbed an ancient tree, stood on the tree, looked at the temple, and for a moment, jumped down from the tree and fell into the temple.
The side of the monastery closest to the river, separated from the monk's house by the whole garden, has a small courtyard with the gate ajar.
Li Sangrou flashed into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door casually.
The door of the main house was open, and Ye Anping had already lost his hair, with his back to the courtyard door, sitting upright, knocking on the wooden fish, and chanting.
Li Sangrou looked left and right, entered the main house, and walked to Ye Anping's side.
Ye Anping raised his head and looked at Li Sangrou, surprised and stunned.
"Is it convenient to talk here?" Li Sangrou raised her hand to extinguish the candle.
"Let's go to the tower and talk." Ye Anping immediately stood up, stretched out his hand forward, touched the key, turned around and walked out.
Li Sangrou followed him, went out from the corner gate in the courtyard, and walked a few steps to the Zhenfeng Tower.
Li Sangrou watched him open the bottom tower door, let Li Sangrou in, dodged in, bolted the tower door, and pulled it again.
Ye Anping was in front, and Li Sangrou followed him, layer by layer, all the way up to the top floor of the Zhenfeng Tower.
Li Sangrou leaned against the wall, stood on the tower, looked at the little lights on the opposite side of the river, and the wide and dark river, and sighed lowly.
When she was still in Jiangdu City, there were still fishing lanterns and white sails on the river, full of vitality, but now, it was gray.
Ye Anping was already sitting cross-legged on the ground, touched a small oil lamp and came out, and lit it.
Li Sangrou leaned against the tower wall and sat opposite Ye Anping.
"I often go to this tower to meditate." Ye Anping pointed to the oil lamp and explained why he lit it.
He often comes, and when he comes, he will light the lamp, and this time, he will naturally light the lamp as well.
Li Sangrou snorted.
"You're coming to me?" Ye Anping looked at Li Sangrou.
Li Sangrou met Ye Anping's gaze and looked at the two small flames beating in his eyes.
"Have you checked it all? What did you find? What was found? Li Sangrou asked bluntly.
Ye Anping's face was slightly pale, he pursed his lips tightly, and did not answer.
"The person you want to kill is the emperor." Li Sangrou looked directly at Ye Anping and continued.
Ye An's plane was as white as paper, "You, did you find it?" You? How did you? ”
"This sword is called the phoenix, the male is the phoenix, and the female is the phoenix.
When you were young, you must not have been as deep and old as you were later, and your crazy thoughts of revenge back then, your relatives, your people, must have known something.
Therefore, you need to have a family and have children in order to dispel their fears.
Later, I learned that you raised a killer like Zhanlu, and the fear and severity in your clan was not because you raised a killer, but because they knew who you were going to kill.
A big clan like you, raising one, two, ten, or eight killers is nothing at all. ”
"You thought of it right then?" Ye Anping looked at Li Sanglu with a good look, "You are indeed not Zhanlu." ”
Li Sangrou looked at him and didn't speak.
"Wait a minute." Ye Anping moved forward, went down two stairs, took out the Buddha statue from the niche box next to him, took off the silver chain from his neck, and stretched a small peace charm hanging on the silver chain into the niche box.
After an extremely light click, Ye Anping turned sideways, stretched one arm to the end, and took out an indigo silk bag.
"This Yingjiang Temple, was built at the expense of your Ye family?" Li Sangrou asked.
"Well, this Zhenfeng Building, I watched it be repaired, there are more than a dozen such institutions in the tower, and I left this one to prepare for myself to hold the ashes." Ye Anping sat back while holding the silk bag as he spoke.
"Six of them." Ye Anping untied the silk bag, pulled out six small scrolls, and spread them out in front of Li Sangrou one by one.
"This is Rou Niang, this is the Zhu family girl in Jiangdu County, this is the Cai family girl in Fangzhou, this is the Liu family girl in Jinshang, this is the Zhuang family girl in Jiezhou, and this is the Lu family girl in Jiangzhou.
The girl of the Zhu family disappeared on the way to Nanshan Temple to incense.
The girl of the Cai family disappeared in the bustling crowd when she was watching the lights by the river.
The girl of the Liu family sent her brother to Beijing to prepare for the exam, and on the way home from Shili Pavilion, she disappeared.
The girl from the dealer was also missing on the way to the incense.
The girl of the Lu family was in her own village, watching the busy farming, and disappeared. ”
Li Sangrou looked at the six small portraits one by one.
The girls in the portrait are all eighteen or nineteen years old, with the same bright eyebrows and eyes, and the same gentle expressions.
"The girl of the Zhu family in Jiangdu County is the first to disappear, the second is Rou Niang, and then Fangzhou, Jinshang, Jiezhou, and Jiangzhou.
That year, it was the second year that the emperor established the crown prince, he set off from Jianle City, went south to Yangzhou, went west along the river, went north from Zhengcheng, and turned east on Yongxing Road.
When he passed through Jiangdu County, the girls of the Zhu family were gone, and when he passed through Anqing Mansion, Rou Niang was gone, and when they disappeared, it was when he passed by the local area. ”
"Why did he kidnap them?" Li Sangrou looked at Ye Anping and asked.
"I couldn't find out. However, I think it should be witchcraft.
These six girls, about the same age, are about the same as Rou Niang, they are all from a scholarly background, smart and sensible, and knowledgeable.
I can't find their characters, but if I do, I'll probably be able to find out what kind of witchcraft it is. Ye Anping said the word witchcraft, and his expression was painful.
He asked many people, and they all said that all witchcraft carried out by humans and animals is a very vicious spell, and the more people and animals are used, the more vicious the method becomes, and the more miserable the people and animals who practice witchcraft will die.
"It's not witchcraft." Li Sangrou rolled up the scrolls one by one. He took them captive because they were similar in appearance, both were intelligent, both were of good birth, both were well-read, and they were both good children.
He took them captive for the birth of sons. ”
Ye Anping was stunned, and after a moment, he lost his voice and said, "Second prince? ”
"Well, they all look like Concubine Shen Xian.
The second prince was not born to Concubine Shen Xian, but from one of them. Li Sangrou lowered her eyes and wrapped the scroll in the silk cloth.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing Li Sangrou carrying a silk bag and going downstairs. Ye Anping leaned forward and asked urgently.
"I haven't figured it out yet. If I do something, you should be able to hear about it in Yingjiang Temple. I'm leaving. ”
"Wait, do you want silver? I still have a lot of ......," Ye Anping took another step and said hurriedly.
"No, you don't need any money." Li Sangrou glanced at Ye Anping and went down the stairs.
……………………
July Flowing Fire.
In the evening, in an inn outside Jinglongmen, Li Sangrou sat on the windowsill, watching the meteors falling in the distance.
She had confirmed her suspicions, and she knew how many girls had disappeared and who they were.
Next, she had to find out where they were raised, where they died, and which one of them gave birth to the second prince, and she had to find some conclusive evidence, enough to convince some people.
But these must be buried very deeply by the emperor, and they must be cleaned up extremely cleanly, and the emperor is the real ruthless.
He and Concubine Shen Xian must also be extremely vigilant about this, she can't show the slightest trace, otherwise, she will be erased and smoothed out immediately.
It's a little harder.
Li Sangrou bent one leg and stepped on the windowsill, squinting at the dark and towering Jinglong Gate.
The emperor's hidden residence is in Jinglongmen.
In the battle for position back then, she heard a lot of rumors and gossip from Pan Dingbang.
The emperor's biological mother was captured and filled into the palace slave, and by chance, she was fortunate to be the ancestor and gave birth to the emperor, but until the death of the emperor's mother, she was still a palace maid, but it was just not bad.
The later honorific title was posthumously sealed after the first emperor ascended the throne.
The first emperor and her son have been silent in the fierce harem, and even Taizu often forgets that he still has such a son.
Fortunately, at that time, there were more than ten or twenty princes, twenty or thirty royal daughters, and the emperor did not know him, and he was not the emperor alone.
There are too many princes and princesses, and Taizu doesn't care at all, these princes and princesses get married and go out of the palace, except for those who are deeply favored by Taizu, the rest of the people, when they reach age, they all have Zongzhengfu to come forward, pick a house for the prince to get married, pick a similar family for the princess, and make up some dowry to marry in the past.
A quiet prince like the former emperor, naturally it is not his turn to pick a house, and Zongzheng Mansion is where it is.
At that time, the founding of the People's Republic of China had just begun, and Jianle City was in ruins, very empty, it was a lively area, and there were many empty houses, but the emperor was still pointed out to a mansion next to Jinglongmen.
Jinglongmen was a very remote place at that time, far away from the imperial city.
This mansion is not even big, it is really useless.
But later, no one expected that when the princes fought to the most tragic point, the emperor, who had been silent for half his life, suddenly stood up and joined forces with Prince Rui, who had never been touched.
Prince Lao Rui quietly went to Taizhou, asked for the emperor to marry Empress Xianzhang, and for his son, he asked to marry the only daughter of General Wen.
The generals in the army, who were affected by the struggle and suffered unbearable, almost all had a choice after Empress Xianzhang and Mrs. Wen married into Jianle City one after another, and stood on the side of the emperor.
In just half a year, the emperor slaughtered all his brothers, stepped on the blood of all his brothers and many sisters, and sat on that chair.
The dog that doesn't bark is the fiercest.
Li Sangrou thought about Pan Dingbang's expression when he said this, squinted and smiled, Pan Dingbang is a person who understands.
The former emperor who ascended to the throne was also scarred when he sat on that chair.
Of the five sons, four died, three daughters, and one did not live.
A few days after the first emperor ascended the throne, he made the emperor the crown prince, but the emperor did not immediately move into the imperial palace, but chose to stay in the hidden palace outside Jinglongmen, until the second prince was born, and then moved into the imperial city.
Li Sangrou's eyes narrowed slightly.
The imperial palace standing in the middle of the imperial city, overlooked by the palace city, and watched by hundreds of officials, how can this remote and quiet submerged mansion far away from the imperial city be convenient.
Alas, the marriage between the emperor and Empress Xianzhang is not because you love me, but for interests.
Empress Xianzhang must have made it clear that before she and Mrs. Wen married in, she and Prince Lao Rui must have negotiated and had such and such an agreement.
But this heart of breaking the contract has taken root at least since the day the emperor was unwilling to move into the imperial palace.
Queen Xianzhang sought skin with the tiger, and when she left, I don't know what mood she was in.
Shiko said she was calm.
Well, willing to gamble and lose.
Little by little, the night became thicker, and the sound came from far to near, and it was quiet time.
Li Sangrou stood up, changed into black clothes, and jumped out of the window.
Let's go see the dive first.
