Chapter 54: Goodbye to the Old Man
He knew her, but he didn't dare to recognize her.
The girl's family was kind-hearted and saved his life when she was young.
His family was poor, there were several elder brothers above, and there were two younger brothers below, he was stuck in the middle, and in order to subsidize the family, he was sold into the palace.
What kind of place is the palace, it is the place that men in the world yearn for, some people come in as heroes, and some people once they enter, it is incomplete.
He was young, but he was nine years old, and he knew what his fate would be, and perhaps out of fear, he struggled desperately.
Thanks to growing up in the countryside since he was a child, he slipped like a loach, and a few hippie and tender little palace people couldn't catch him.
He panicked and chose a secluded road, not wanting to see anyone, and inadvertently bumped into the princess who had just returned to Beijing at that time.
She was swinging under the garden, a blue spruce swaying in the wind, and the little palace maid behind her saw someone suddenly breaking in, and was about to reproach, but she stretched out her hand to stop her.
It may be that he is disheveled, or it may be that he has a pair of eyes that are crying scarlet, so I can't bear it, she has always been a kind person.
When the little palace people chasing him behind him saw people, they knelt down in a panic, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look at people.
Only he was young and ignorant, and he didn't know who the girl was, so he stared at her directly.
"What's your name?" The girl sat on the swing and did not shy away from his gaze.
This question stumped him, he didn't have a name yet, he was the third in the family, and others called him Xiaosan.
The voice of the little palace man behind him was slender and sharp, "Your Highness forgives your sins, this is a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules, and has not yet given a name, and has collided with His Highness, and I hope His Highness will be gracious." ”
The palace people didn't dare to raise their heads from the beginning, but told him to see clearly.
"Since you don't have a name, shall I give you a name? It's called Changning, Chang Anning. ”
The people behind him didn't squeak, and no one reminded him to thank the princess, he stood dumbfounded, muttering the name on his lips.
"You don't want to enter the palace?"
The girl walked up to him and looked at him level, her clear gaze falling on his face.
The little girl behind her saw it and raised her eyebrows at him, "Don't thank the princess for her kindness." ”
The voice was loud, and the small palace people behind him also heard it, and then he was sent out of the palace, and he was able to keep himself intact.
It's just that the girl is innocent, she doesn't know the sinister world, where can he go when he leaves the palace, and he won't be recognized when he goes home, and he may be sold somewhere.
After wandering outside for two days, I was so hungry that a meat bun was coaxed into the Golden Bird Palace, which was very gorgeous, and there was no problem of food and clothing, but it was not free and unhappy.
The head asked him what his name was, a "Changning" was about to blurt out, somehow, and he was timidly suffocated back, when he liked the word "long", he casually gave him "Long Cliff", he was the most humble temple keeper, the Long Cliff son who everyone in the Golden Bird Hall flocked to.
The first time she came to the Golden Bird Palace, he recognized him, he knew that he was the young master of the study, and he also knew that she was the famous Princess Panjun, his only old friend.
Every girl in the Golden Bird Hall had painted a portrait, and they remembered the appearance of each girl in their hearts, if it weren't for him, when they first came to the Golden Bird Palace, they would not have been so easily put in, and it would have been impossible for them to come out unharmed.
Goodbye to the old man, seeing that she was already born as a graceful person, the man next to her was full of eyes on her, and he only felt happy in his heart.
He has a name, his name is Changning, which means long peace, but he has had a rough life in this life, this is the only clean thing in his life, although he is dirty and humble, he has not insulted others and himself Half of this name, this name, she is the only one who is called.
The Golden Bird Hall was dug out deeply, and the repercussions of the matter among the people caused unprecedented enthusiasm, and the five departments began to investigate as soon as possible.
The underground official cellar pulled the household into the water, although Shan Ce had the account book in his hand, implicated the famous casino, but it can only be said that it affected the officials, and today is such a trouble, the household department is inseparable, and even the Golden Bird Hall has been dug out, and there may be how many people will be involved.
This matter reached the ears of the emperor, and when he heard that the emperor was furious, he kicked over the people who went to confess, and he didn't need Xiao Ye's people to fan the flames, just the matter of the Golden Bird Palace, which was enough to cut off Gao Qing's back road.
He has fought with Gao Qing all his life, and no one has ever admitted defeat, but he didn't expect God to play a joke with him and make him fall for it.
He originally planned to get involved in the collapse of Gao Qing, but Su Li, as his adviser, asked him not to get involved in this matter, not even to investigate, and not to try to find out the emperor's tone, arbitrary development, and sit back on the fisherman.
He has suffered a rash loss in his life, and he took the princes to order the Son of Heaven to count once, and please leave the princess once, and at this moment listened to his words and chose a more secure way.
The matter is a foregone conclusion, and the household department and the officials can no longer keep it, and the most correct thing Gao Qing has done is that he has no contact with them, whether it is the position of an official or a private corruption, it is a verbal promise, or in the name of others.
So even if you know it, if you want to check it, it's really hard to find out on his head.
The power of one person is small, and the power of ten thousand people gathers into a sea, not to mention that this is a matter for everyone.
When Shan Ce saw his mother and adopted son, the man who had gone through the vicissitudes of life cried like a child, but his mother and adopted son were quite calm and gave a big gift to everyone.
Xiao Yu'an helped the person up, "In the future, I will have to work hard for Grandma and Shan Gongzi, this matter may be investigated for a long time, and you need to run a few more times, if there is any inconvenience, you will let me know." ”
"No trouble, no trouble, as it should be."
The old man is very polite, it can be seen that he is a gentle character, no wonder he can educate Shan Ce so well, his adopted son is also very atmospheric, his face is delicate, although his feet are quite large, he does not feel inferior.
For most of the month, he ran back and forth between the government and his home.
He had spent a few years in the Golden Bird Temple, and he knew a lot and heard a lot of stories.
The girl's family is reluctant to come forward for the sake of fame, he is going to communicate one by one, there are many officials in Kyoto, although he doesn't know the identity, but he remembers the appearance, Xiao Yu'an ordered people to draw all the portraits of Kyoto officials, he looked at it, and pointed out a seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight in cooperation with the account book written by Shan Ce, and sent someone to check, one to catch one accurate.
Basically, they are all civil officials, civil and military opposites, the two sides look down on each other, even if there are military generals, they are also tightly wrapped, or they are easy to make-up, and they don't let their colleagues recognize them.
After investigating like this for more than half a month, the matter is almost over, the household department is corrupt and bribery, and the officials are nepotistic.
There is Shan Ce's account book as physical evidence, Shan Ce's mother and son and the arrested girl of the Golden Bird Hall as witnesses, and there is also ironclad evidence of the underground official cellar case and the famous casino case.
The household department can't be saved, and there is still hope for the ministry, Gao Qing gave a death order, at all costs, Mingzhe to protect himself, there are so many people who have a little means and are ruthless, and pushed their own family members out to take the blame, but they didn't find out what the name is, and these people are all protégés of the Ministry of Officials, or they are related to him.
Sure enough, it's not a family, and it doesn't enter a family.
Things are stuck here, it's hard to do, and at this time, you need a strong medicine.
Several people were worried in the hall, and the study room was still very hot, discussing the cases of the past half a month.
Even when a child walks on the road, he will casually ask the adult who is patrolling, "How is it?" Caught?"
"No, no, no! I didn't see so many people in the morning. ”
Hey, grab your school bag, go to the school and brag with others for a long time, he's the one who has the latest news.
Yiren came down from the attic, and saw Xiao Yu'an and Seventeen frowning, with serious expressions, not knowing what they were talking about, and the elder brother was also there, and he didn't know what to say to the pink fir girl beside him, his lips and teeth were smiling, and the two sides were completely different atmospheres.
The Pink Shan Girl noticed her, looked up, and a beautiful little face was visible to the Iren.
"What kind of wind blew the county lord of Zhaoyuan here, and he came to visit someone's house, but he brought a courtesy."
Akihara glanced at her with disgust, his face shy.
"Xiaojun, don't make fun of the county lord, it's just an ordinary visit between friends, where do you need to pay respects."
Hey, this is an ordinary visit, obviously I heard that you are coming, she just ran to it, usually invite her to come, either there is a cultural class at home to go to learn business with my mother, busy it, it would be good to invite one time in five times.
The authorities are fascinated, for the sake of the reputation of the girl's family, some things should not be broken.
Clear-eyed people can see that these two people are clearly in love, and no one is stunned, the prince is happy, but he wants to stay away from her, only when he hasn't seen her for a long time, he can be regarded as a little warm, or inadvertently revealed, very strange.
