Chapter 177: Chanting in the Temple
Originally, I thought that Ying Wenxu would not know his life experience, but now it seems that he is just deceiving himself.
At the beginning, Yan Zheng didn't want Xu'er to appear in front of everyone, because he was afraid that one day he would be recognized.
Because the older he gets, the more similar he is to his own father's appearance, especially between his eyebrows and eyes.
"Yan Qing, what are you thinking?" Seeing his distracted appearance, the emperor frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.
Yan Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and then he said: "The minister is just thinking, the Ying family and the Lou family have obviously been cleared back then, and even the old and weak women and children have not been spared, how did this remnant survive?"
He looked at the list in his hand, and his heart was still entangled.
The emperor said: "I am also thinking about this problem, if it weren't for someone to help, with the situation back then, whether it was the Ying family or the Knowles line, it should have been all gone, but there were such people who were familiar with us, it can be seen that there were people among us who should help them escape." ”
Back then, he won the throne and attracted many officials to participate in the party struggle, but some were in the open and some in the dark, and if it weren't for people who were familiar with him, he would definitely not know so much detail.
Yan Zheng didn't answer, he just took away a baby that was still in swaddling clothes, but he didn't expect that it would be so troublesome today.
The emperor said, "If I find out who let Yu Xin go, I will definitely not spare him!"
When he said this, his tone was flat, but there was a sense of murder in his eyes.
Originally, he was still struggling with whether to tell the emperor Ying Wenxu, but when he saw his appearance, Yan Zheng immediately denied the thoughts in his heart.
Now that there is a remnant of the old year, if this matter is said again, it is not known what the emperor will do to him.
He eased his mind, raised his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, it is better to let the ministers investigate this matter, and the person behind it will be found out!"
The emperor glanced at the signs and said, "Now that you are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, it is not easy for you to arrest them, but it is not difficult for them to do anything to you, and you can't find out about this matter." ”
Yan Zheng said: "Is it difficult to hand it over to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple to investigate this matter?"
Dali Temple has investigated the theft case for so long and has not had any clues, let alone find out the person behind it.
The emperor said: "I am free to decide this matter, but I just hope that you will not let yourself be imprisoned again." ”
The people behind it clearly wanted to pull out the people of the year one by one, and now they are eyeing the signs, but they are afraid that they will not let go easily.
Yan Zheng said: "The ministers obey the emperor's orders. ”
"Chang'an has been windy lately, so you should avoid it. The Emperor spoke.
Yan Zheng lowered his eyes: "Yes." ”
When he walked out of the imperial study, Yan Zheng's face was heavy.
He was about to climb the stairs down, but he caught a glimpse of Li Xiaoyun striding towards the imperial study.
Thinking of what the emperor said to him, he could probably guess that the emperor would hand over the task of investigating the case to Li Xiaoyun, a rising star, who was very trusted by the emperor.
At that time, the emperor also trusted him very much, so he did his best to support him on the throne, although he also used him to calculate the Ying clan, but after all, there was a lot of credit and hard work, but now this trust is slowly fading.
Because he is now firmly on the throne and holds great power, he is no longer the second prince who needs to be carefully prepared by them step by step.
Feeling that someone's eyes were looking at him, Li Xiaoyun glanced sideways at Yan Zheng, his cold face did not have any expression, he just bowed his head slightly, even if he said hello through the scene, and then stepped into the imperial study.
Yan Zheng lowered his head and smiled bitterly, looking up at the sunshine today, which was so dazzling that people didn't dare to look at it directly.
This April is a bit long, Ji Yanning is not only staring at the situation in Zhongdebo Mansion, but also slowly planning revenge, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the death day of Ji Tingsheng and his wife.
Now that their sister and brother are not in Jiangzhou and cannot go to the grave of their parents in person, Ji Yanning took Ji Lang to Huguo Temple to chant for Ji Tingsheng and his wife.
Ji Yanning originally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but with the fact that he was reborn, he felt a little magical.
She never understood why she was born again.
Could it be that because she was wronged too much, God gave her one more chance?
But there are too many people who have been wronged at this time, is it possible that everyone will be reborn in someone else's body like her?
Since she can have another life, what about her family, can they live again like her?
So many questions were floating in her mind, but she couldn't get any answers.
But she is very clear that since she has survived, she must go all out to continue to live, and she wants revenge!
The journey of Huguo Temple is unwilling, and it only takes an hour to arrive.
Ji Yanning took Ji Lang out of the carriage and looked at the temple of Huguo Temple, but she felt a little familiar in her heart.
In her previous life, she would often come here with her mother, so she was very familiar with the surrounding environment here, but she didn't expect that twenty years later, this Huguo Temple was still the same as it was at the beginning, as if it had floated directly with her for these twenty years.
Huguo Temple is a little bigger than the general temple, it is the place where the emperor's relatives often come to pray for blessings, because there are many well-known masters, and it is also very effective to ask for a signature, so there is an endless stream of pilgrims.
Today they came is neither a day of rest nor a festival, and there are still many people who come to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings and chant scriptures.
There was a short step in front of Huguo Temple, Ji Yanning took Ji Yanning and walked forward slowly, hearing the sound of the masters and monks in the temple singing, accompanied by the hazy smell of incense floating in the air, which made people inadvertently put their minds at ease.
The two sisters and brothers came to the front of the hall in the temple, knelt down in front of the big Buddha seriously, and then handed the incense in their hands to Ziyu and asked her to insert it into the furnace.
The two siblings stood up from the futon.
Seeing that they didn't ask for a lot, a little monk stepped forward and said, "Amitabha, what help do you need from the two little benefactors?"
Ji Yanning said: "Our sister and brother plan to chant for their deceased father and mother. ”
"I see, the two little donors please come with the little monk. ”
Ji Yanning and Ji Lang followed the little monk to a presiding place, and asked the temple to arrange for them to chant sutras and chant peace.
Because it was the death day of Ji Tingsheng and his wife, the two of them were very serious, and by the time the chanting was over, it was already afternoon.
The two siblings stayed in the temple and had fasting.
It's just that I didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this Huguo Temple, Mrs. Murong and Murong Yixue.
The mother and daughter seemed to have come to Huguo Temple to pray together, originally Ji Yanning wanted to pretend not to see it, but when Mrs. Murong saw Ji Yanning, she walked over first and said, "Miss Ji, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Ji Yanning bowed slightly and said, "Mrs. Murong has a good memory, and she can still remember my name." ”
She is just the cousin of the Liu family, her status is not high, and she has nothing to do with Mrs. Murong on weekdays, but because of Yuan Jiaojiao's affairs, Ji Yanning knows a lot about Murong Mansion.
She naturally knew very well that the reason why Mrs. Murong was able to take the initiative to talk to her was because of Yuan Jiaojiao.
After all, she has a good relationship with Yuan Jiaojiao, which is no secret.
Mrs. Murong chuckled, with some of the grandeur and elegance of a lady of a family, she said: "Miss Ji has a graceful demeanor, and it takes no effort to remember it. ”
Ji Yanning said: "Mrs. Murong is really an award, the younger generation doesn't dare to be, if it is about style, who in Chang'an City can compare to Miss Murong." ”
Murong Yixue stood behind her mother, listening to Ji Yanning mention herself, but her face did not change at all, she still looked down-and-out and generous, as if these things had nothing to do with her at all.
If it weren't for Yuan Jiaojiao, her mother would naturally not care about someone like Ji Yanning.
Sure enough, Mrs. Murong asked Ji Yanning, "I don't know why Miss Ji came to the temple, can you accompany me to relax?"
Ji Yanning said apologetically: "Today is the death day of my parents, so I took my younger brother to come to the temple to chant for my parents. ”
"I see. Mrs. Murong felt a pity, but she could also understand it, and said, "Miss Ji and Little Master Ji can have this filial piety, I want to make Zun Lingtang very happy, which parent would not be happy for their children to be close to themselves!"
Ji Yanning just smiled slightly, and didn't answer the reason for her words.
If she wants to get close to Yuan Jiaojiao through herself, I'm afraid she has made a mistake.
Ji Yanning said: "Then the juniors won't bother Mrs. and Miss Murong......"
"Miss Ji, I have something I want to ask Miss Ji. Madam Murong interrupted Ji Yanning's words and asked directly.
Murong Yixue, who was on the side, was a little surprised by her mother's behavior, after all, her mother would never be like this on weekdays, let alone someone of Ji Yanning's status.
Ji Yanning didn't have any expression: "What does Madam want to ask?"
They stood at the gate of the courtyard outside the guest house, and there were not many guests, except for the occasional stop to see if something was going on here.
Mrs. Murong said: "I heard that Miss Ji and Jiaojiao have a good relationship and get along very well, so I want to ask Miss Ji if she can help me, I don't ask to be able to see her, I just ask her to accept what I give her as a mother." ”
Ji Yanning was a little embarrassed: "This ...... I can't help Madame. ”
Mrs. Murong said: "I just want to fulfill my responsibility as a mother, since Miss Ji is unwilling, I can't force it." ”
"Thank you, Madame, for your understanding. Ji Yanning said.
Mrs. Murong said again: "Does Miss Ji know what Jiaojiao likes to play and eat on weekdays?"
Seeing her mother like this, Murong Yixue echoed: "Miss Ji, just looking at my mother's painstaking sake, this little question should still be able to be answered, right?"
Ji Yanning looked at Murong Yixue's smiling eyes, and his face became indifferent.
