Chapter 70: The night is long, why don't you go to see the fireworks?
"So, Your Excellency came to my General's Mansion in exchange for information for the help of this General?" Lou Zhan Road.
"Exactly." The throat sealer paused for a while, and his tone became heavy: "Thirty years ago, because my father owed gambling debts, those people broke into my house and took my father and mother away, and I hid in the cellar to escape, and later I learned that my father was killed, and my mother died because she didn't want to go to the Qinglou to be humiliated, but I hated me for being weak and couldn't avenge them!" Drunken Moon Villa, I've wanted to destroy them for a long time! He grabbed the armrests of the chairs with both hands, as if to rip them off.
Feeling the fierce emotions of the throat sealer, Lou Zhan said in a deep voice: "I see, then you must know the old nest of Drunken Moon Villa?" ”
"It's clear, it's a pity that I'm wanted in the villa, I can't go in, the location of the villa is very hidden, and the guards are extremely strict, even a mosquito can't fly in, even so, I can't go in without enough silver tickets on my body, unless there is a pass order given by the owner of the villa himself." At this point, the mood of the throat sealer gradually subsided.
Drunken Moon Villa was too large for him, so he had to turn to Lou Zhan for help.
"Before the contemptible came here, he drew a map, and the general would understand it after reading it, but before that, the contemptible hoped that the general would agree to my small request and hand over the forest steward of the villa to me, and I would personally finish off this person who killed my father and mother back then."
"This matter ......" Lou Zhan hesitated, the emperor was already tracking down the Drunken Moon Villa with his own hands, and he couldn't decide whether the emperor would take this clue. This matter, General Ben still needs to be decided by the Emperor, it is better to do this, you stay in General Ben's mansion for the time being, and General Ben will enter the palace now. With that, Lou Zhan got up.
The throat sealer was surprised: "Isn't this matter the Great General you are investigating?" ”
"It's not." Drunken Moon Villa is related to the whereabouts of the eldest princess, and the disappearance of the eldest princess cannot be known to others, so Lou Zhan will not tell him the reason.
"Okay, since the general can't call the shots, then the contemptible people will wait for the time being, I just hope that the general will bring the emperor's will back as soon as possible."
Hearing that Lou Zhan was going to enter the palace, the housekeeper arranged a sedan chair, and then arranged the throat sealer in the wing room.
There was an extra guest in the general's mansion, which attracted the attention of the two concubines, and they inquired with the butler, and the butler said, "It is an important guest of the general." ”
"What's his name?" Cui'er asked reluctantly.
The housekeeper had to reveal a little: "I can only tell you that he is a charlatan." ”
Cui'er covered her mouth with a handkerchief and went with a grin.
In the palace, the old emperor got up from the dragon chair and exclaimed, "You found the clue to the Drunken Moon Villa?" Come on! ”
"Your Majesty, this was revealed to Wechen by a person in the rivers and lakes who was called the one who sealed his throat, and Wechen didn't know whether his words were true or false, but Wechen thought that he could give it a try. According to him, he had a blood feud with the forest steward of Drunken Moon Villa, and that he had entered Drunken Moon Villa and knew the route to it, and he had drawn a map. ”
"Okay, whether it's true or not, Lou Zhan, you go and tell him, just say that I agreed to his conditions!"
"Wechen obeys."
Out of the palace, Lou Zhan went back to the general's mansion directly, and the housekeeper greeted him and said, "General, the small one has been arranged." ”
Lou Zhan said as he walked: "Go and invite him over, just say that there is something important to discuss." ”
"Okay, let's go for the little one."
The butler agreed, and went to invite the throat sealer to the hall.
"General, is there a result?" The Throat Sealer was still dressed in black, revealing half of his face, and he asked eagerly as soon as he sat down.
Lou Zhan said: "The emperor has already agreed to your conditions. ”、
The throat sealer suddenly knelt down on one knee at his feet and said: "Thanks to the gift of the general, the blood and hatred of the contemptible people will be avenged, if the great revenge is avenged, the life of the contemptible people will be the general's, and I am willing to serve the general!" ”
Lou Zhan was slightly startled, he didn't expect this person to be like this, so he helped him up: "Hurry up, please get up!" ”
"No, the general, the contemptible people have heard of the good name of the general, and take this opportunity to swear that he is willing to follow the general around to follow the work of dogs and horses."
Lou Zhan said: "This matter has not yet come to a conclusion, how can General Ben accept your worship, please get up quickly." ”
Hearing this, the throat sealer got up.
"Butler, take this knight down to rest."
The butler came over and said respectfully, "Please come with me." As soon as I walked to the door of the hall, suddenly a gust of incense blew in, but I saw Cui'er and Lu'er had already walked in.
Lou Zhan's face was slightly gloomy: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Master, where are you going to sleep tonight?" Lu'er stepped forward and said.
"Why don't you go to me? Father. Cui'er also said.
However, Lou Zhan still had a cold face, and he couldn't stand the two of them.
Cui'er said again: "Why don't we sisters serve you together tonight?" ”
Lou Zhan turned his back: "Get out of here!" ”
The days passed quietly in leisure and busyness, and soon, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. On this day, the hanging pot pharmacy finally opened. The shop opened, and it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so a lion dance performance was specially invited to help the fun, and for a while, the hanging pot medicine shop was also very lively.
Tonight, due to Bai Wenyun's arrangement and command, the Taishi Mansion is also decorating with new clothes and putting up lights, preparing for the arrival of the New Year. After Bai Yirong followed her father and eldest brother to enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, she began to worship her ancestors, and her face was always filled with a happy smile.
And here in the general's mansion, it is deserted in comparison, on the one hand, because there are few people in the mansion, on the other hand, Lou Zhan does not like to be lively, only the housekeeper and the people are simply arranged, from the outside, it is also quite festive.
When eating Chinese New Year's Eve, the two concubines were very gentle and considerate to prepare dishes for him, but Lou Zhan's mind was no longer at the banquet table.
The sky in the distance suddenly exploded one after another, and the brilliant fireworks were refreshing, but they were also fleeting.
Lou Zhan sighed, threw down the dishes and chopsticks, and left a sentence: "I'll go out for a walk." Then he commanded the steward: "Do not let anyone follow me." ”
The two concubines looked at each other.
Lou Zhan came out of the General's Mansion and came to the market, the market was so busy with traffic, Lou Zhan was alone, and he walked unconsciously along the place where the fireworks were set off.
A group of children, large and small, ran by, cheering excitedly: "There are fireworks on the outskirts of the city!" Go to the outskirts of town! ”
Lou Zhan followed behind the group of children.
There are many horse-drawn carriages in the market, and they are also going to the suburbs, and at this time, the fireworks festival on the outskirts of the city has just begun.
In the Taishi Mansion, after the sacrifice to the ancestors, Bai Fengyi went back to the room to rest.
"Little sister, it's a long night, why don't you take you to the outskirts of the city to watch fireworks?" Bai Wenyun said suddenly.
Wu Yu also clapped his hands and said: "Okay, good, young master, the little one has long wanted to go and see it!" ”
Yirong turned around and saw that Ying'er and Yan'er were also looking at her expectantly, so she also nodded and said, "Okay." ”
