Chapter 189: Where is the deceased?
There is usually no funeral after the death of the women in Baihuaya, there is a burial place dozens of miles away from Baihuaya, and the bustard girls of each family will wrap the deceased with straw mats, and then send someone to drag the deceased to the side of the mass grave and find an open space to bury it.
Bai Ling didn't want to do this, she still wanted to hold a decent funeral for Bao Yuan, but Baihuaya belonged to the Department of Teaching, and ordinary guests could enter and leave freely, but the white shops and drummers outside couldn't.
If you want to do a good job, you have to rent a house outside - Lan Zihao is not short of this money, but the problem is that no house owner is willing to rent out his house and make a mourning hall for a woman who died in Baihuaya Lane.
Ah Wan told Bai Ling all these things with some embarrassment.
"If you don't have a house, forget it." Bai Ling whispered, "Let's take a temporary one." ”
"Where does the girl want to ride?" The maid asked softly, "I'm afraid there is no suitable place for setting up a mourning hall in Lanzihao, and there may not be one in Baihuaya." ”
"Yes, there's a place." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Lan Zhijun has an annex, which is in this Hundred Flowers, I know where it is. ”
"Then where Sister Li is buried......"
"I'll personally go to Donglin Temple and ask." Bai Ling said softly, "There should be a place on Donglin Mountain. ”
The maid nodded, and quickly left the courtyard.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Bai Ling also followed the maid and walked out, and as soon as she went out, she saw Chen Xin waiting outside the courtyard, she was a little surprised, "Your Highness hasn't left yet?" ”
Chen Xin shook his head, "Where are you going?" ”
“…… Donglin Temple. ”
"Then I'll give the girl a ride." Chen Xin said softly, "It just so happens that I have something to say to you." ”
Bai Ling thought for a moment, "Then there is His Royal Highness Lao." ”
……
In the morning light, Bai Ling sat in the carriage and did not say a word, his expression looked a little indifferent.
Chen Xin looked at Bai Ling several times, and saw her indifferently looking out of the window, as if she was thinking, and always felt that this was not a good time to talk.
But there were some things that he had to ask, and after thinking about it, Chen Xin said, "Was that person your friend last night?" ”
“…… Sort of. ”
Chen Xin thought about this "count", and always felt that this answer sounded a little strange.
"Since the last time we said goodbye to Donglin Temple, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Chen Xin said softly.
"Well, Lan Zhijun told me." Bai Ling said softly, "He thinks it's better not to let you come to see me again." ”
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, "He told you everything?" ”
Bai Ling nodded, "Hmm...... It's better not to see it, so as not to get involved in something strange. ”
Chen Xin's brows condensed slightly, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of ...... Miss Bai Ling, could it be that she is also an old person who saw Ange? ”
"Me? I'm not. Bai Ling replied simply, "It's just that I'm closer to him on weekdays." ”
The fan in Chen Xin's hand was slightly unfolded, and then put it away again, he thought about it for a while, and said in a low voice, "...... Maybe he hopes you will be in the future. ”
Bai Ling did not answer.
She looked at Chen Xin's hand, and then slowly moved her gaze out the window again.
It's no wonder that she occasionally feels affectionate with Lan Zhijun - perhaps because in this hundred flowers, they are all exiles from the court.
"What His Highness wants to find out, has it all been clarified now?" Bai Ling asked suddenly.
"Well," Chen Xin nodded, "I originally thought it would take a lot of effort, but I didn't expect Heng Yuanjun to directly tell the old things and the inventory, and many things are self-explanatory." ”
"So, Master Hui Shi back then was indeed killed?"
Chen Xin nodded again, "...... At that time, he wrote to my father, saying that now he saw that the identity of Ange seemed to be suspicious, and he had evidence in his hand, but he was a wandering monk, and he was afraid that those things would not be safe in the temple, so he wanted to bring them to my father.
"Now that I think about it, it should be Heng Yuanjun's hand." Chen Xin said in a low voice.
"Really......"
"In order to hold the Kan Pavilion firmly in your hands." Chen Xin snorted lightly, "How did he expect that not long after that, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the first one to dismantle it was to see the An Pavilion." ”
“…… Everything is impermanent. ”
"Yes, things are impermanent." Chen Xin looked at Bai Ling, "I came today to take the girl out of this place of right and wrong on the behalf's behalf. ”
Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Which old man is it this time?" ”
Chen Xin was puzzled for a while, "Could it be that someone came to say the same thing to the girl before?" ”
"yes." Bai Ling said with deep eyes, "No matter who is behind you, thank him for his kindness for me...... Don't do this kind of futile thing anymore, I'm not an ordinary crime, I can't save people carefully, but I'm dragged down. ”
Chen Xin frowned, "Although I don't know who the previous person is, please believe me this time." ”
Bai Ling looked at him, "Since Your Highness knows that I used to be the medicine of the Inner Palace, do you know why I ended up in such a situation?" Do the people behind you know that? ”
Chen Xin's throat moved slightly, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
After being silent for a long time, he said softly, "After all, I am not from the capital, and I know many things half a beat slower than others. When I first met you in the golden wire cage, I really only thought you were an ordinary beauty in this hundred flowers...... Later, when I learned that you had been a medicine practitioner in the palace, and even got along with Heng Yuanjun for a long time, I was really surprised. As for the reason why Bai Si Yao fell into Baihuaya...... I'm ashamed to say that I only found out a few days ago.
"I don't mean to defend anyone...... Chen Xin said in a low voice, "Whether you believe it or not, this is not the original intention of Jinshang. ”
When she heard "I didn't mean to defend anything", Bai Ling had already guessed who Chen Xin was going to speak to, but she really didn't expect that this person would be Chen Yicong.
"Who is this old man of yours?" Bai Ling tilted his head and smiled, "It can't be the emperor, right?" ”
Chen Xin coughed lightly, "This...... I am the county king of Shangluo County, and this is the first time I have gone south to Beijing...... How could he recognize the emperor. ”
"Then who did you say 'not the original intention of today'?" Bai Ling said softly, "Except for Jinshang himself, who else knows his original intention?" ”
"I don't know about Bai Siyao, you ...... You stabbed the emperor, he had a high fever for days, and he didn't have the strength to deal with you. Chen Xin said in a low voice, "So I handed over this matter to Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong, and it was these two adults who ordered you to be put into Baihuaya, and the emperor didn't know about it." ”
"Yes," Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Without the emperor's approval, the two adults dare to directly spare an assassin who assassinated the emperor from death, Your Highness, you said this yourself, do you believe it?" ”
"Si Yaoda can go directly to ask Elder Sun Ge and Master Zhang to see if what I said is true or false."
Bai Ling laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's good to be the emperor," Bai Ling said softly, "whoever he wants to come out and carry this black cauldron will have to come out and put this pot on top...... Anyway, in the final analysis, he will always have a hard time, and he will always do it as a last resort. ”
