Qiongcheng, the national capital, is the first big city of Yuxue, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is a sunny scene. Along the way, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the weeping willows set in the sunset, which is as beautiful as a picture, but there are some discordant sounds in this beautiful scenery.

In the largest restaurant in the west of the city, a table of scholars was angry and angry, and a tall scholar said: "The second prince and the seventh princess have done this too unauthentically, Prime Minister Ning is an honest official, loves the people like a son, and is a rare good appearance, but the two princes were imprisoned as a collaborator, and the seventh princess also came to kill her relatives with righteousness, and testified in person. ”

"Hmph, Prime Minister Ning proposed to prohibit the rich from enclosing land to build houses and hunting grounds, and to leave the best land for the people to cultivate, you don't know how many people have been offended by this item, but what can the three divisions do, it is not the same result." A scholar in white on the side was even more uneven.

A black-faced scholar on the opposite side looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, these two princes are now close to the five princes, the fifth prince is the grandson of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family has been staring at the position of prime minister for a long time." This Ning Xiang is wrong because he refuses to stand on either side of the five princes or the three princes, this is the way to others, but he sits in such an important position, so even if the five princes don't make a move, the third prince will not let him go. ”

After the tall book, he thought thoughtfully, "But this seventh princess is also strange, she is married to the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she is so ruthless that she has to testify against it, you must know that this is a full house of beheading." I heard that the second son committed suicide on the spot after he found out. ”

The black-faced scholar smiled after hearing this, "You don't know, this is going to involve a secret of the Ning family." It was the eldest prince Ning Haowen who made a marriage contract with the seventh princess back then, that is a genius-like figure, not to mention that he looks good, I heard that he can do poetry at the age of seven, and he can take the top exam at the age of ten, and he was really admitted, but Ning Xiang said that he was too young to be competent, so he gave up the quota. But this also made the emperor value him very much, so he gave him a marriage to the seventh princess. Later, the eldest son of Ning went out to study and met Hongmei, a famous prostitute who was famous all over the world at that time. Of course, this was not allowed by the Ning family and the royal family, the seventh princess was even more furious, and sent someone to assassinate Hongmei, Ning Dagongzi was heartbroken and loved before death, and hated the evil of the seventh princess even more, and saw through the world in a fit of anger, so he became a monk. But the seventh princess didn't know what to think, and insisted on marrying into the Ning family, and later married the second son. ”

Several people realized in their hearts and continued to discuss quietly, but Yun Yuhong, who was sitting next to her, had no intention of listening anymore. Ning family, Ning Haowen, Seventh Princess, yes, isn't this Ning Haowen the national teacher, it seems that something happened in the national teacher's family.

Yun Yuhong doesn't know how Ning Xiang is a person, but the second prince and the seventh princess are not easy to get along with, Yun Yuhong is sure of this, but it's a pity that she came a few days late, Ning Chengxiang must have been beheaded, and everything is unknown. But for the sake of the national teacher's face, he can't do nothing, at least he has to help his relatives collect the corpse or pay homage. So Yun Yuhong asked the clever ghost to inquire about the whereabouts of the corpses of the Xia Ning family, and after a while, the clever ghost came back and said: "There are more than fifty members of the family, and no one dares to collect the corpses, and they are all thrown into the mass grave." ”

Yun Yuhong nodded, and told everyone the idea of collecting the corpse for Ning Xiang's family, of course, this is related to the privacy of the national teacher, she did not mention the national teacher, but just said that she could not see that a generation of loyal ministers was wronged and would be exposed to the corpse of the wilderness and not allowed to enter the earth for peace, which was strongly opposed by the old way.

"My little ancestor, you are looking for death, so many people don't dare to move, what are you going to do, there are more good people in this world who have been unjustly killed, can you take care of it? If they are seen, they will be hunted down. Lao Dao was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

Yun Yuhong ignored the old way, she would definitely do what she wanted to do, and she would not look forward or backward, let alone leave her tail. So he instructed: "I'll go with the crybaby and the stingy ghost first, the clever ghost, you go to find a few people to sell some coffins and then come, the unlucky ghost, you and the Taoist chief go to inquire where the ancestral grave of the Xia Ning family is, and the Taoist chief is also ready, I heard that the souls of the unjustly killed people can't rest in peace, you can do a ritual." ”

Lao Dao glared angrily but didn't dare to say anything, and several people began to act separately.

To the west of the city is a slum, where most of the people go to work during the day, with very few people, and the closer you get to the mass graves, the fewer people there are.

Several people were walking on the road, but a team suddenly appeared in front of them. There are more than 100 people, there are soldiers in armor and sharp soldiers, there are retinues in green cloth clothes, everyone is majestic, but the first thing Yun Yuhong noticed was the black glazed carriage in the middle, there was no red and purple color, and it was not very amazing, but behind the curtain that he was blown by the wind, there was a familiar monk - the national teacher, how could he be here, Yun Yuhong did not come back to his senses until the team passed.

Yun Yuhong motioned for the stingy ghost to follow and take a look, and she still walked forward with the crybaby. Because several of them were not very old and dressed very ordinarily, they did not attract the attention of others.

The mass grave is a big pit, and you can smell a bad smell far away, the two covered their mouths and noses, and came to the big pit, there were a lot of corpses piled up inside, some of which had rotted, but Ning Xiang's family was still very easy to identify, the one with a broken head, and the body was wearing prison clothes. After waiting for a while, the clever ghost brought the hired people to come, and Yun Yuhong asked them to start pretending to be corpses, and then took them to the Ning family's cemetery. He returned to the inn with the crybaby, and the stingy ghost also came back after a while, telling Yun Yuhong that he followed the group to the Seven Princesses' Mansion.

How did this matter become like this, and what happened to the national teacher, Yun Yuhong must figure it out, so she decided to go to the Seventh Princess's Mansion at night to have a look, if it is really the national teacher, then she can't ignore it. Such a fun thing for the four little ghosts to follow, and in the end, Yun Yuhong decided to leave the clever ghost to accompany the restless old way, and the others went.

At the time of the third watch, the princess's mansion was full of eaves and arches, green tile walls, and vermilion lacquer gates, all of which were silent in the dark, with only a faint shadow. The four of them wore night clothes and walked around the back door and climbed through the back door. It is said that they should be asleep at this hour, but the princess's mansion is brightly lit and people come and go.

A row of maids hurriedly walked with tea cups. "I heard that the second prince and the princess have a big temper, their brother and sister are the same mother, and their relationship has always been good, how can they quarrel like this?" The little maid and accomplice who walked behind bit their ears.

Another person whispered: "It's not for that monk, it seems that the monk is a powerful person, the second prince said that he wanted to kill, but the princess said that he wanted to stay, so it was a quarrel, looking at the posture of the second prince, he would not leave if he did not achieve his goal." ”

"Is it a monk who is locked up in the dungeon of the East Courtyard, he hasn't eaten for a day, and the princess doesn't look like she wants to save him."

"Save him, if this monk is I, I'd rather be cut by the second prince than fall into the hands of the princess." The other maid pouted, and the two of them gradually walked away.

Yun Yuhong on the eaves of the corridor beckoned and led a few people to the east.

The dungeon in the east courtyard is easy to find, guarded by four dozing soldiers, obviously telling you that people are locked up here. The stingy ghost stepped forward and clicked on a few people's acupoints, took the key, and the four of them entered the dungeon.

There wasn't much space inside, so they quickly saw the national teacher in the prison. It's just that the national teacher is lying on the ground, his eyes are empty, his expression is blank, if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would look like a dead man.

Yun Yuhong opened the prison door, came to the national teacher and pushed him, the national teacher's eyes turned and looked at Yun Yuhong, Yun Yuhong pulled down the mask and smiled at the national teacher, "After five years, I don't know if the national teacher still remembers Yun Yuhong." ”

The national teacher was stunned for a moment when he heard the word Yun Yuhong, and then looked at Yun Yuhong a few times before sitting up. "How could the eldest princess come here, this is a place of right and wrong, the eldest princess should not stay for a long time, let's leave quickly." His expression is no longer as peaceful and peaceful as it was back then, only mourning and mourning.

Yun Yuhong said: "These things can't be said in a few words, the national teacher should leave with me first." ”

"No need, thank you princess for your kindness, I'm a useless person, I don't have to bother the princess anymore."

Yun Yuhong lowered her voice and said: "Useless person, I'm afraid that it may not be, the second prince will treat you as an opponent and will kill you, don't you want to take revenge if your whole family is killed?" Don't say anything about retribution, you know in your heart whether it is the Buddha or ordinary things. After the national teacher heard Yun Yuhong's words, his eyes were no longer sad, but resentful.

Yun Yuhong continued: "I collected your family's body for you, and now I am waiting for you to go to the burial, if you want to take revenge, stand up and follow me." So he turned and took a few people and left.

The national teacher stood up, looked at the backs of several people and thought for a while, and finally straightened his waist and chased after him quickly.

Outside, Yun Yuhong did not leave immediately, but waited at the door, and when she saw the national teacher chasing after her, she asked the stingy ghost to take the national teacher and several people walked towards the back door.

The journey went smoothly, but they were still spotted when they crossed the wall. A large number of pursuers, led by the second prince and the seventh princess, lit torches and chased after them.

The unlucky ghost said to Yun Yuhong: "Young Valley Master, you and the stingy ghost will take people to go first, and I will break off with the crybaby." ”

Yun Yuhong instructed to be careful, and then took the people to leave first. She has no confidence in the kung fu of these two, but she is confident in the poison of cryhouses.

The unlucky ghost had a rare opportunity to perform, hehe, the thief laughed a few times, and said to the crybaby: "Give me two bottles of poison for me to play with." ”

The crybaby touched into his arms and said, "I'd better come, one bottle is enough." ”

Where is the unlucky ghost, he went up and grabbed a bottle, opened the cork and threw it to the crowd, and then pulled the crybaby to jump down and chased Yun Yuhong and a few people.
