Chapter 675: The Long Net
Hearing Hu Xianxian say this, Gou Bantou's sitting posture is much more relaxed, if he just wants to kill Che Ang, then he will not be implicated.
"If that's the case, there's no need to go to Master Guo, and it's so troublesome to find the account book."
Gou Bantou grinded his teeth, lowered his voice and said, "There is a person in Taixing Mansion who may know Che Ang's whereabouts more directly......
Hu Xianxian looked at him solemnly, he clenched his fists, and after stabilizing his mind, he wrote three words on the table with tea: Gao Youquan
wiped off the tea, and left after a slight owe to the head of the class. After sitting for a while, Hu Xianxian and the plug also left.
After leaving the city, Hu Xianxian flew to Taixing Mansion and arrived outside Deqirui Palace just after noon.
After the former Shenjun Royal Mansion was changed to Qirui Palace, it was divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard last year, the outer courtyard was the place where Cen Zaidao and them cultivated, and the inner courtyard was the living place of the old Shenjun princess.
Hu Xianxian didn't want to disturb Cen Zaidao and them, so he went directly to the small door of the inner courtyard and asked to see Gao Youquan.
The old servant guarding the door didn't let Hu Xianxian wait, and when he heard about the intention, he took her in, and said as he walked: "Gonggong Gao instructed that if Hu Yuanjun visits, he will bring him to Yancaixuan to meet." ”
Hu Xianxian heard Cheng Haofeng talk about being too high and being eunuched due to medicine, but he didn't expect Han Zexi to really recognize him as a eunuch next to the old princess. And listening to the old servant's meaning, Gao Youquan knew that Hu Xianxian was coming, she was puzzled, but she didn't ask.
Yancaixuan has not changed much, it is still turquoise glazed tiles, brown columns, open on both sides, three wooden window pavilions in the middle, arranged in a zigzag shape.
Before arriving at Dexuan, the old servant retired. Hu Xianxian did not enter the Xuan immediately, but raised his eyes to look at the scenery outside the Xuan.
The flowers and plants on both sides of the river are not deliberately planted and pruned, adding a bit of wild interest, only to see the verdant leaves, the reeds fluttering, and the bitter bamboo half yellow.
Looking at the ginkgo, coxagulus, and maple trees next to Xuan, Hu Xianxian sighed and shook his head.
"The scenery of this season does have the name of 'Yancai Xuan', and when it comes to the late autumn and early winter of October, Hu Yuanjun will be able to enjoy the frost-dyed autumn and the colorful scenery of Qilin."
Hearing the faint voice behind him, Hu Xianxian stepped on the stone steps in front of Xuan, and greeted with a smile: "Gao Gonggong." ”
Yan Cai Xuan is not the main hall, but just a place to play in the garden, and there is no brick or thick wooden plank to build the wall, even if the main house of the three Xuan is covered by hollow carved wooden boards.
Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum on the board are lifelike, you can appreciate the carving in the Xuan, and you can see the scenery from a distance through the hollow.
Gao Youquan smiled lightly and said: "Recently, the old princess gave me some snow in the blue pond before the Ming Dynasty, and I shared it with Hu Yuanjun." Oh, it's windy, I'm afraid it will blow the fragrance of tea, please wait. ”
As he spoke, he got up and closed the curtains on the four walls of the Xuanzhong room. He moved calmly and elegantly, the white gauze curtain embroidered with pale yellow Fu patterns flickered, and the pale brown round-necked thin robe he wore also fluttered, fluttering.
What Hu Xianxian noticed was that his right leg was very flexible, and he could recover from his crippled leg, that is, his skills had reached the realm of being able to change his muscles and bones. This growth rate is really fast, and when I met him last year, he was just gathering aura.
However, this only made her wonder, and she didn't want to know why, she asked what she wanted to know urgently: "Where is Cha Ang?" "Since Gao You has calculated that she will come to inquire, there is no need to waste time playing dumb riddles.
"Hu Yuanjun is really straightforward." After Gao Youquan closed the curtain, he sat cross-legged in front of the low table in the room, smiled and pointed to the tea set on the table and said: "Tea can clear the heart, drink tea first to get rid of the fire, and then talk about trivial matters." ”
Since he said that Che Ang's matter was a "trivial matter", there was no need for him to be too anxious, Hu Xianxian also sat cross-legged on the dragon beard grass mat next to the dwarf.
The small red clay stove on the low table burns fine charcoal, and the copper kettle on the stove emits white smoke; There are two crickets simply engraved on the pottery tea pot next to the stove, which is not simple and interesting; In the wooden tray on the side of the pot is a small white porcelain teapot and a small teacup, and the pot is blue and blue bamboo leaf pattern on the cup, and the pattern is smart and smart, such as seeing the wind and the green bamboo.
"I can't imagine that Gonggong Gao is such an elegant person." Hu Xianxian's words were really not flattering to him, because Gao Youquan in his impression was still the fishmonger and bandit whose skin on his hands was wrinkled and white.
"Hu Yuanjun is really good at making fun of people, I just have to learn these things when I follow the old princess. Niangniang likes tea art, of course I have to be elegant. ”
Gao Youquan scooped out a little tea leaves from the teapot with a wooden spoon and put it into the teapot, and then re-covered the teacan.
Take the copper pot and put it on the rattan mat at the low corners, and then pick up the wooden tray and go to the sandalwood coffee table on the other side of the room.
The spout of the copper kettle is slender, the height is full of wrists, and the copper kettle is gently rotated a few times. He then took the momentum of "Fish Leaping Dragon Gate", leaned upside down and raised the pot to the coffee table, and the water in the copper kettle slowly flowed into the porcelain teapot.
A trickle of fine water, like a drop of flowing beads, like broken jade pouring, boiling water is filled with white mist and floating, and the fragrance of tea is light.
Gao Youquan turned around and put the copper kettle, then held the porcelain pot, and poured the tea into the porcelain cup for half a cup, that is, he smiled and invited Hu Xianxian to taste: "Coarse tea is turbid, please don't dislike it." ”
Moved to the wooden bench next to the coffee table and sat down, with the cup in his hand, Hu Xianxian smiled and tasted tea.
There are many kinds of snow in Bitan, the third uncle is very knowledgeable about tea, she only vaguely remembers that he said that the tea picked on the dozens of tea trees on the cliff before the Qingming Festival is really the best quality.
It is rumored that the high-grade "Bitan Drifting Snow" soup is light green, and the tea leaves are as white as snow.
After Hu Xianxian sipped the tea, the tea was really green and transparent, and there seemed to be fine white velvet like snow on the tea leaves, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"What is Hu Yuanjun sighing about?"
"Although I can't taste the true taste of tea, I also have to sigh that the creation Zhong Lingxiu is beyond the reach of manpower."
After Gao Youquan took two sips of tea by himself, he smiled lightly with a bit of resentment: "The creator makes something and someone inherently beautiful, but he also makes something and someone inherently vulgar." The sky is uneven, people seek peace, and people want to force equality, which will lead to a lot of bloody storms. ”
Hu Xianxian drank tea silently and listened to what he was going to complain about.
"How unfortunate people are in the world, but you and I are lucky, you don't hurt me seriously, I can't get the master's complete trust, and I don't have the opportunity to really be reborn and change my fate."
As he spoke, Gao Youquan pointed to his blind right eye, stretched out his injured right leg and said: "The damaged muscles and veins in my leg have recovered, and my body and hands are more flexible, and over time, I can see the light of my right eye again." ”
"Congratulations." Hu Xianxian's face was expressionless, neither really happy, nor did he show guilt for hurting him back then.
"I don't complain if you hurt me, because if you couldn't hurt me, I should have killed you and your father. All grievances are as they should be, and only by constantly improving their strength is the king. ”
"Strength can't solve all problems."
"That's right, but it's better than no strength at all. For example, Han Zecan and Han Zexi competed, and the price paid by the winning side must be smaller. ”
After the scorching afternoon sun was blocked by the gauze curtain, only a faint halo was reflected in the house, and Gao Youquan slowly told all kinds of things in the south and the north, as if Hu Xianxian really just came to drink tea and chat with him.
"Where is Che Ang's hiding place?" Hu Xianxian interrupted him.
"You're really anxious, you understand the importance of this strength, and it's also important to have rules in addition to strength. As long as there are groups in heaven and earth, there are rules between groups. ”
Gao Youquan refilled Hu Xianxian's tea, and said unhurriedly, seeing Hu Xianxian continue to drink tea, he talked eloquently: "No matter how you think of yourself, in the eyes of others, you and Cheng Zhenren have entered the officialdom."
Officialdom has the rules of officialdom, officialdom is a big net, and the dispute between officialdom is a snares for each other. However, after falling into the net of the enemy, it is often the big fish that slip through the net, and the small fish and shrimp are often the ones who are stabbed.
The imperial court explicitly ordered that only the officials involved in the rebellion should be raided from their homes, and the relatives of the rebels should be allowed to return to their hometowns to fend for themselves. But how many of them are doing it underneath? They all have to take advantage of the bad luck of their political opponents to make people miserable by unscrupulous means, and they will not stop until they turn over.
Cheng Zhenren: They definitely know about this situation, but they will not stop it immediately, they will wait, waiting for the opportunity to wipe out those in power. And those powerful ministers are also waiting, waiting for the opportunity to get out of the net and make huge waves. ”
Hu Xianxian's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice: "For example, if someone secretly abducts and sells the wife and daughter of a traitor under the banner of punishing traitors, the court will not care about the life and death of a person first, it depends on the vassals competing for the power of the court, who wins and acts according to whose governance policy?" ”
Gao Youquan smiled: "Don't say that it is the life and death of one person, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee will not care, that is, the people of one family and one village, as long as it does not endanger the stability of the overall situation, they will not care." ”
"Huh...... After all, I don't want to follow those rules, I just don't know, and if I know, I can't ignore them. I'll ask you one last time, where is Cha Ang hiding?! ”
Hu Xianxian pinched the broken porcelain cup, and the broken porcelain pieces and tea splashed, shaking Gao Youquan's eyes.
"Well, please come with me." Gao Youquan got up and walked outside, and Hu Xianxian followed suit.
Walked outside the small courtyard where Gao Youquan lived, pushed the door and walked into the bedroom, unscrewed the mechanism behind the wardrobe, and a dark room appeared.
This dark room is not secret, but there is no doubt that the old princess's righteous son, Gao Youquan, will harbor Che Ang, so he has never found it.
Cha Ang was sitting and eating pastries, with a lot of pastry crumbs on his beard, although he was a little embarrassed, but not miserable.
He looked fatter than before, and he was whiter because he hadn't seen the sun lately.
Suddenly seeing Hu Xianxian, he was so frightened that he almost choked, and only after drinking two sips of water did he recover from it.
Hu Xianxian approached him step by step, and he kept shouting Gao Youquan and asked Gao Youquan to help him; also kept begging Hu Xianxian, and said that he had not directly harmed her.
Hu Xianxian didn't bother to refute these words, but he really didn't directly harm them?
For example, he caught and killed so many innocent people in the name of catching bandits in Gaojia Village, but it should be inferred that Hu Xianxian bewitched the king of Shenjun back then.
When Che Ang was about to despair, a low voice sounded outside the door: "Xianxian, this person has an important role, and let him live a few more days." ”
"Let him live a few more days? It's just a matter of bringing down Lu Huanbang and those people, if he can't be defeated, he may be at large forever! ”
Hu Xianxian knew that Cheng Haofeng was coming, but because he was angry in his heart, he deliberately turned his back to him.
"With his testimony, Lu Huanbang's power will undoubtedly fall."
"Hmph, but if you want him to testify against those people obediently, you have to promise him good conditions, he won't be stupid enough to testify knowing that he wants to cut off his head, right?"
Cheng Haofeng frowned, "The overall situation is important, and it is already a complete victory to eradicate those powerful ministers at the cost of letting him go." ”
Hu Xianxian Huo Ran turned around, glared at Cheng Haofeng angrily and said, "Yes, how can the life and death of the stupid people compare to the court's major events?" If he can be cunning and keep his hands behind, should he escape punishment again and again? ”
