He Meng was already so frightened that his face turned pale, he just kowtowed, and pleaded with him: "Fourth Master Shengming...... It's really the second elder brother who is helpless, and it's not a ...... Ask the fourth master to give birth to ......"

"Hmm." Yin Zhen agreed meaninglessly, took the letter, and carefully handed it to Delentai, "Roast it dry over a charcoal fire." Be careful, don't rub it off. Only then did he laugh and said to He Meng: "If you don't come out of this, it is called being punished by heaven, and there is nothing to pray for!" How can I protect you? He Meng was covered in chaff and shook into one place, just kowtowing. After a while, I told the truth about how I saw Yinren, how to see a doctor, how to write a letter, and how to send out myself, and everyone was stunned when they heard it. Yin Zhen thought for a long time, and suddenly gasped, if he took the surname He to invite merit like this, not only *** regarded himself as a rebel, but even the rest of the people would inevitably talk about his own fall, which was a villain. But this matter is clearly difficult to hide, and the consequences of hard pressure are even more unimaginable. After He Meng finished speaking, Yinzhen already had an idea, and said with a long sigh: "Second brother's intentions are so good!" This mind should be used on loyalty and filial piety, why not be in an unpredictable place! Do you say so, Delentai? ”

How did Delentai know how many thoughts this Prince Yong had moved in a moment, and hurriedly said: "Why not! If the second master wants to come out, wouldn't it be good to hand over a note openly? If you want to be sneaky, you can't become an individual! ”

"That's it." Yin Zhen nodded, as if he was overwhelmed, "I'm a person, but my heart is broken, and people don't know it." In fact, the wonderful meaning of the Buddha's three vehicles is, in the final analysis, the word 'good'. As for what you He Meng is doing today, as long as you enter the performance, you are the sin of Ling Chi's execution. What should I do? He pretended to groan, and for a long time, he beckoned to everyone, pointed to He Meng, and said: "Meng is always careful, that is, the big and small people in the palace have illnesses, and he is still careful to see a doctor." My second son, Hongli, was born of smallpox when he was young, and he also waited for him. Now I want to keep him alive. If you don't want to, I won't be able to protect him; If you want to, I have a plan, and I will say it for everyone's consideration. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, how serious was Yinzhen when he searched for Meng Shi, why did he say this at this time? A eunuch made fun of it and said: "Saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and there is no reason for anyone to be this wicked person, so that the soul is haunted!" The fourth master just commands! Yin Zhen replied: "This is the person who understands!" The white color in the palace of the pioneer Lafayette is to make the unjust ghost haunt to death! The second brother has been imprisoned for seven years, and it is normal for people to come up with it. It's just that you shouldn't ask someone to bring a letter privately, but you can't become a ghost or a thief, and you have committed a felony. I think that even if He Meng turned himself in and reported Yinren, the matter would be covered up. This time, Long Live Lord must still have some reward, He Meng, you take out a thousand more taels of silver and distribute them to the people here tonight, everyone also gets benefits, and you also escaped with your life - how about this? ”

Everyone smiled when they said it: I almost let He Meng go out tonight, and found out this huge case, all of which was the credit of Yinzhen, and there was no need to think about rewarding silver, but I don't know how this prince will be punished. He came up with such an idea like a trick! Suddenly, some said: "The fourth master is the reincarnation of the Buddha, this compassion, tsk!" Some said: "How can we be so useless, but the fourth master deserves to be rewarded!" "Some chatter and praise the saints, and some chant the Buddha together, turning the door of a forbidden garden into a transcendent dojo. Seeing Yinzhen glancing at himself, Delentai hurriedly said: "The slave is ordered to guard the palace, just to avoid accidents, and listen to the orders of the fourth master." ”

"So be it, I take refuge in my Buddha and take refuge in the heart of saving sentient beings." Yin Zhen had a compassionate look on his face, "Why don't you hurry up and thank everyone!" After saying that, he walked out, and then turned back and ordered: "I will go around the Forbidden City for an inspection, and tomorrow I will go to Changchun Garden to explain this." You are so good at guarding your life, don't break my rules! ”

At this time, the rain was already light, Yinzhen was stuffy in the sedan chair, so he only changed into a pair of deerskin oil boots, dressed in duck down, and said to the sex voice with a smile: "I don't want to sit in the sedan chair, ask them to follow, let's walk as a car, okay?" The two walked side by side.

The night was already deep, and the hazy fog drifted down, and the cold water vapor hit Yinzhen's somewhat hot face, which was very cool and pleasant. After walking silently for a while, Yinzhen suddenly asked: "Xingyin, since you don't quit the five meats, why do you want to become a monk?" ”

"I'm practicing Tongzigong." Xingyin smiled, "If you have a shaved head, you are a monk, and if you have braided hair, you are a child." ”

Yin Zhen was silent for a while, and then said, "I still don't understand why you saved me when I stayed in a thief's shop in Huaibei that year?" Did you know that I was the emperor's brother at the time? Xingyin raised his head secretly, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Although I didn't know that you were the prince, I saw that you were a good person, and you and the Liu family competed for the girl surnamed Lu, and I saw it during the day...... My mother was also sold to Guangdong. When I was a child, I studied with Mr. Wu Ciyou, and with Li Yunniang, and then went to Guangxi from Kong Sigege, and when Sun Yanling was against the imperial court, I was in Sigege Mansion...... I crawled out of the mass grave, and I have been a human ...... in two lives" Yinzhen suddenly stood on his feet, realized in horror, and said: "You ...... When I was a child, I heard Sigege say, you are the ...... Blue monkeys? ”

"Yes, Monkey." Xingyin smiled, "Fourth master, it's better to meet than to be famous." I've been a naughty monkey since I was a child, and Cheng Biting Jin, who couldn't be killed, is now tied to your flagpole! "No, no!" Yinzhen changed his appearance and said, "It's Yinzhen who is blessed, living with heroes and heroes!" Sex Yin sighed: "I came to you, but I didn't think about this, I wanted to see the fourth aunt again, I might as well go to Beijing, just in time for her funeral ......"

The two of them were silent again, walking along the sandy road outside the royal river. After a long time, Yin Zhenfang asked, "Why do you want to stay in my mansion again?" ”

"In my life, I have fought with swords and done righteousness, killed countless people, and originally wanted to crisscross the rivers and lakes and eliminate violence and peace." Sex has always been bold and uninhibited, rarely so emotional, and his voice trembled a little, "I didn't expect that in a peaceful and prosperous world, the bad guys will kill more and more!" Later, I thought, killing one person to save a life, it is better to protect a clean official, at least to protect a piece, and look left and right, after all, the fourth master is a character. So I didn't want to go anymore. ”

Yinzhen really understood at this time that Wen Jue and Wu Sidao were originally blindly helping themselves on errands, and later they fully supported their true intention to win the heir and become the emperor, and they were moved and happy in their hearts, but also a little frightened, and couldn't help but be stupid. was thinking about asking, but Xingyin asked, "Fourth master, have you suffered a lot?" ”

"I've eaten it." Yin Zhen said coldly, "But it's not the pain of hunger and cold, it's not the pain of flesh and skin." It is the bitterness of the heart. I have been cowardly since I was a child, and none of the people who love me in the world have died or been imprisoned, and none of them have a good end, it is really cold to the bone marrow! It's so cold, even the raw stove has to turn into ice balls, so I've long since become a stone heart - you can see it, I don't smoke, I rarely eat wine and meat, my relatives are not pampered, I never look for flowers and willows, although I am not a monk, I am actually an ascetic head. If your heart is cold, the wicked will be afraid of you! They're afraid of me, they're afraid of being here. He said very slowly, and burst out word by word, and there was a sound of gold and stone, and a chill ran in my heart when I heard the sound of sex.

The two of them walked while talking, circling the Forbidden City, and everywhere was safe. When Yin Zhen took out the gold watch from his arms, he was already at the end of the year, and said with a smile: "The business is over, let's go back." In less than tomorrow, the matter of He Meng will come out, and we will wait for the news. Xingyin was waiting for an answer, but he heard the jingling of the guzheng in the Wu family's wine shop in Xibianmen, and across the cool wind and autumn rain, there was a woman's clear singing, which was very sad:

are sad and dawning, and the daughter-in-law is cold westerly.

and sent the ice string to the hatred, earning idlers tears.

Seeing that Yinzhen could hear it, he smiled and said, "Fourth master, what kind of bird is there in this song?" Let's go back quickly, maybe Mr. Wu is still waiting in the house! Yin Zhen hesitated for a moment and muttered, "Strange...... I seem to have seen these words somewhere......" was about to leave, and sang again:

Talk about the spring as a career, and read a few trees and flowers in the garden.

It is worthy of the fragrance like me, but I doubt that I am spending my life in my dreams!

"Oh!" The muscles on Yinzhen's face trembled rapidly, and he remembered that he had seen these two poems in Yinren's window textbook! He didn't say a word, turned around and left, but made the sexual sound inexplicable, so he had to follow. Yin Zhen returned to the sedan chair, took off his coat, and only wore a sauce-colored jacket, covered with a Shi Qingfeng Mao Baturu vest, and said to the sexual voice: "Tell them to go back first, Mr. Wu is still in the house, please rest in Fengwan Pavilion, and see you tomorrow." Let's take a look at the teahouse! ”

Wujia Teahouse is the largest tea shop in Xibianmen, originally called "Jiaxing Building", which is the place where Wu Cuigu, a talented woman in Jinling, sells her art. When Wu Cuigu committed suicide by swallowing mercury, one of her distant nephews happened to be in Beijing, and the huge estate belonged to him. The name was changed to "Wujia Tea Shop". As soon as Yinzhen and the others came in, a guy had already greeted them, and asked with a smile: "Two masters, please sit upstairs!" Is it a tea party, or a treat? ”

"Hmm." Yinzhen agreed gloomily, glanced in, and saw that it was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young woman pressing the strings with both hands, and an old man next to her was patting the cloud board, singing a "Spring Dream Order".

Pear blossom clouds surround the Jinxiang Pavilion, and the butterfly melts nephrite screen in spring. Birds outside the flower cried three or four times. Dream startling, half confused and half awake......

After a while, everyone cheered: "Good! This song is better than Fang Cai's! Others laughed and joked: "Good dear!" Why did it scare your dreams? "There was a lot of noise. Seeing that it was so vulgar, Yin Zhen frowned, and while going upstairs, he said: "I will order this woman to come up and sing, you tell them to disperse!" Then he came upstairs. The guy was stunned and didn't have time to reply, and Xingyin threw a piece of silver cake of twenty taels into his hand and asked, "What, is there any difficulty?" ”

The guy had never seen such a generous master, and looked at the silver cake suspiciously, and saw that the silver cake was white and thin, the silver tendons on the face were to the heart, and the authentic Taizhou foot lines, and suddenly his eyes were smiling in one place, and he said: "The clip clip in the store is broken, and I can't find it, what should I do?" Sex Yin laughed and said: "When the clip clips are repaired, you can find your shopkeeper." After that, he went upstairs and saw Yinzhen sitting alone in the first private seat, groaning under the lamp, not daring to be alarmed, just standing aside and waiting. For a while, the guy held the tea tray in his hand, and it was full of delicate Beijing points, and he shouted all the way up, and while distributing tea, he said, "Master, I will have it immediately." The shopkeeper said that today's inventory was called an early dispersion. After saying that, he was about to retreat, but he was stopped by Yinzhen and asked:

"You're busy, I want to ask a word."

"Excuse me."

"Where is this singer and what is his name?"

"If you go back to your master," the guy said with a busy smile, "Where is she from, I really don't know the little one, I only know that she is Kangxi's stove since fifty years, her name is Wen Sanniang, she sang popular in the capital last year, and then I know that she lives in the red orchard." After that, seeing that Yinzhen had nothing to say, he withdrew.

Yinzhen didn't have a clue when she heard it, took a sip of tea, and was groaning to herself, so she heard the sound of broken footsteps on the stairs, Wen Sanniang hugged the guzheng in her arms and entered the curtain, squatted down and bowed her head to Yinzhen to give two blessings, and said softly: "Please say hello to the master!" Yin Zhen looked carefully, looking at the figure from a distance, very slender and delicate, close at hand, the appearance is not very good, there are dense crow's feet in the corners of the eyes in front of the forehead, the face is yellow, it looks a little tired, only one hand, ivory carving, soft and round. The woman was looked at by Yinzhen and felt uncomfortable, so she saluted again: "What kind of music do you want to listen to?" Yin Zhen had an idea in his heart and said with a smile: "Listening to the two tunes you just sang, I know that you are not a vulgar hand." I've been in Jinghua for a long time, but I haven't heard of your name! I have a friend who filled in a song "Nanxiangzi", and the family team can't sing it well, so I borrow your singing voice to sing it, okay? ”

"Singing is able to sing, but I'm afraid it may not be as respectful as the grandfather wants." Wen Sanniang installed the piano on a few places, sat down with a smile, tuned the strings, and whispered: "Please show me the lyrics." Yin Zhen pondered for a while, and said in a voice:

is not used to the cloud and rain township, and the deer is busy. Rao is a lover who is more warm, and the cuckoo cries blood on the residual makeup. The fence said that he was sad several times, and he was afraid that he would not be happy for a long time, nephrite flowers could not sleep, and it was difficult for good dreams to lean on the ivory bed in vain!

After groaning, he sipped tea and stared at Wen Sanniang without saying a word.

Wen Sanniang was completely stupid, not speaking, not moving, not playing, not singing, stroking the strings in a daze, and sitting stiff and stunned. Sexually felt strange in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Hey, why don't you sing?" Wen Sanniang raised her head sharply, her eyes sparkled, her lips trembled slightly, and she said, "You...... Who are you and where did you see this song "Nanxiangzi"? As soon as he finished speaking, a trombone suddenly sounded from outside the door, and the old man who sang downstairs broke in with a curtain; bowed to Yinzhen and cried: "Fourth master, do you still recognize the old minion?" ”

"It's seventy-four!" Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he remember that it was Yinxiang's housekeeper, sighed and stood up and helped Wen Seventy-four with his hand, and said, "I have looked for you a few times here, and I said that you moved." I thought you were going back to Shanxi! How does this mean that it will end up at this point? My house is very close to here, why don't you look for me if you have difficulties? Wen Seventy-four was in tears, only choked up and couldn't speak. He actually went to Prince Yong's mansion. But the defeated person, Yinxiang is in a lawsuit again, who is willing to give him a gift! But it was difficult to say this clearly, and Wen came back to his senses after seventy-four and a half years, and said with a sob: "It's all old slaves who are confused, and the fourth master is clean, and I'm afraid of causing trouble to the fourth master." Yin Zhen smiled: "This Wen Sanniang, is it your daughter or daughter-in-law?" ”

Wen Seventy-four looked at Sanniang with teary eyes, shook his head and said, "...... It's not either, say it and kill the minions......"

"I see, you don't have to say it." Yinzhen said gloomily: "I sent people to visit Tongzhou twice, and people said that after the thirteenth master was bad, Shuntianfu raided his house, and searched everywhere for a woman surnamed Zheng, and it was really difficult for you to escape, and she became a singing woman...... Zheng Chunhua didn't wait for Yinzhen to finish speaking, he was already in tears, choked his throat and wanted to let it go, only forced a whimper, where could he come back to speak? Seeing her so miserable, Yinzhen remembered that Yinren had abandoned her from beginning to end, and even poisoned her to death, but she was still in the dark, and felt at ease in dealing with He Meng tonight. Thinking about how to place Zheng Chunhua, he hesitated for a while, frowned and was silent.

Zheng Chunhua knew that he was embarrassed, sobbed for a while, and said, "Fourth master, don't talk about it anymore in the past. I'm an overlived person, and there's no hope. I heard that you are now in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, so ...... you are so good" Before she finished speaking, Yinzhen interrupted and said, "Don't worry about the second brother's affairs, I naturally have to take care of it." It's just you, I look too infatuated. I wonder what your wishes are now, and what are your own plans? Zheng Chunhua was silent. What is the wish? She couldn't tell herself. She only hopes to see Yinren again alive, to see Yinren free, and to make a comeback. But can you tell Yinzhen these things? After thinking for a while, he sighed helplessly and said, "I am not an adult, a ghost is not a ghost, and I am the most shameless person." There is no way for me to go. About one day, the man will come out, or die, that is, my time of death will come......" She said calmly, but also very plainly, obviously the words of the heart that have been thought about for a long time.

Yin Zhen was shocked when he heard this, raised his head in horror, stared at the light of the lamp and candle, and said for a long time: "Why do you only think about death?" There is another way to go! ”

"Otherwise?" Zheng Chunhua looked at Yinzhen with an indescribable gaze, "Entering the palace, is it to be an imperial concubine or a princess?" Do you want to be a gong'e, or do you want to do laundry? Otherwise, they simply sang and begged for food among the people? Before he finished speaking, Yinzhen clasped his palms together and hurriedly said: "Amitabha, sin, don't you hear that the Dharma is boundless?" ”

In an instant, Yinzhen had already made up his mind. He is not like Yinxiang, and Zheng Chunhua has a feeling of "sympathy". On the one hand, he took pity on this woman's miserable and sad life, and more importantly, now Yinren is a hundred-legged insect stiff and not dead, and he can't figure out what the emperor means by "putting Taijia in Tonggong", keeping this woman is tantamount to having an extra card in his hand! Thinking about it, Yin Zhen said again: "That's it, tonight you go back to the house with me, Ming'er asked Gao Fu'er to go to the Pure Land Nunnery to do a degree for you, first lead the practice in my house, and let me build a small temple for you at the Jade Emperor Temple." You were born in the second half of your life of cultivation, and you don't care how troubled the world is—that's good? ”

The four of them walked out of the Wu family teahouse, and it was almost time. The rain has stopped, and one day the lotus clouds slowly move eastward under the navy blue dome, and the oblique moon disappears from time to time, illuminating the streets and alleys hazy and dark, giving people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. Several people walked silently on the stagnant water with their own thoughts, no one spoke again, and just stepped across the Jinao Jade Bridge, the sexual voice suddenly pulled Yinzhen and said: "Fourth master! Someone is following behind! ”

Several people stood up at the same time, and Yinzhen suddenly woke up, maybe someone had already followed Wen Seventy-four and Zheng Chunhua, just waiting for himself to take the bait! I got myself and Zheng Chunhua at the same time today, and tomorrow will be a piece of news that will move Jinghua - I am smart for a lifetime, and I am confused for a while, why can't I think of this layer? He was shocked, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. In the middle of the emperor's room, the four black shadows in front of the bridge have blocked the way, all of them are big men, with braids coiled around their necks, their hands crossed on their waists, and they don't squeak, but they can't see their faces in secret!

"Brother," Xingyin waved his hand to Yinzhen, stepped forward, and smiled in front of his chest, "Which way?" Borrow a step of light! The big man standing in front of the steps of the bridge base stretched out his hand and said gloomily: "Don't care which road is on, give five hundred silver, you walk!" Sexuyin grinned and said, "Five hundred silver is not much." Tomorrow night the brother will deliver it in person, how about it? ”

The big man looked back and smiled, "Listen to how smart he is!" - You're too slering, why bother tomorrow night? Leave the three of them behind, and you'll take them now!" ”

"What if I don't?" Sex Yin laughed, "I've always been the same!" "Then please eat a hundred punches!" As the big man spoke, a sky-high cannon hit the sexual sound ribs, and the sexual sound staggered, took two steps back, but said in his mouth: "A hundred punches are a hundred punches!" I'm a man who wants money, not my life! ”

The four of them laughed for a while, and then they surrounded the sexual sound, poofed you punched, I slammed the sexual sound, the sexual sound was surrounded in the heart, was beaten to the ground, stumbled and unstable, while "ouch" and cried out in pain, while counting, "ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine...... Hundred! - How can you still fight! Why are you endless? Yin Zhen pinched a handful of sweat for him first, saw him do this, knew that the sexual voice was strong, and played with a few thieves, and heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and couldn't help shouting: "Sexual sound, why don't you fight back?" ”

"It's not that you don't fight back!" Sexually replied helplessly, "I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it, I'm afraid I'll break the vows!" As he spoke, he threw himself up, and with both hands counterattacking a punch, he saw two black shadows suddenly fly up five or six feet high, and then there were two "knock knocks", and they were already planted in the water at the bottom of the bridge, and then somehow twisted his body, and he had caught two with one hand. Yin Zhen and the others were already dumbfounded, and saw that the monk carried the two people to the bridge. He said to the six or seven thieves who followed behind, "Give back you!" With this ability, I want to go down the underworld! Get these two dead bodies back to the bar! As soon as he said that, the two big men rushed straight down like projectiles, smashing several people to the bottom and screaming!

Seeing that no one dared to come up and make a move, Xingyin clapped his hands and said, "Bad luck tonight, my hands are dirty!" Master, let's walk! Hey, who wants to disobey, look at this stone lion! With that, he gently touched the neck of a stone lion with his hand. At first, everyone didn't know what he was doing, but they were stunned, but they heard a "plop" sound, and the lion's head rolled into the river! A few thieves whistled and fled without a trace. Yin Zhen couldn't help but be shocked. Wen Seventy-four said: "Since you have such a great ability, why don't you catch a live mouth?" ”

"What's so hard about catching a mouthful?" Xingyin said coldly: "I'm afraid that if I catch it, I can't try it, but the fourth master is embarrassed!" ”
