Chapter Ninety-Seven: Good News Meets Bad News (13th Update)
After Liu Sanyang's trial, Chang Fu drew a charge for him, and Li Xisong said: "Liu Sanyang's confession and the confession of several murderers last night corroborate each other, and there is no discrepancy. There is also the testimony of Qin Meng, a survivor who survived by luck, does the princess still have nothing to say? ”
Yongxing had no room for quibbling. But she was still arrogant: "What if I killed it?" Master Li knows that I am the proud daughter of the Golden Branches and Jade Leaves Heaven, what kind of big crime is it to kill a few palace maids? It's just two reprimands by my father. It's you, Master Li, who kidnapped me to this kind of place in the middle of the night, but be careful of your head. ”
Li Xisong sneered and said to Chang Fu: "Send the princess's words, as well as all the testimony and confessions and physical evidence, to Hualin Yuan and submit them to the imperial front." ”
Then, he turned to Princess Gaoping: "Since the princess has confessed, the lower officials will send the princess to prison according to the ten articles of Wei's law for felonies, and wait for the Son of Heaven to fall." As for the lower officials themselves, they will also remove the black veil, take off their official uniforms, and wait for His Majesty to fall. ”
The princess was escorted, and the officials departed in procession. Li Xisong and Chang Fu sat quietly in the lobby, speechless for a long time. The facts of the case are shockingly simple and crude, and both of them have mixed feelings at this time, but they don't know where to start.
At the end, Li Xisong sighed and said, "Ah Chang, you say, are we really aggrieved for the seven unjust souls who died in vain, or are we just removing the thorn in the side of the prime minister?" ”
Li Xisong is very upright, he knows that Yu Wentai is unwilling to marry Princess Gaoping, so he is particularly careful in this matter that can bring down the princess. Yesterday he called him in and told him that he would keep an eye on the murderer for him and clear the way for him throughout the trial. Thinking of the half waist card, he understood what Yuwentai meant at that time.
Although the murder case is solved, even if there is no Yuwentai to support him, even if he gambles his official career and life, he will investigate this case to the end. But now, he has a feeling of being used and being a human eagle dog.
Chang Fu said: "No matter what the prime minister's thorn in the eye is, after all, we have done justice for those seven unjust souls." This is a good result, and being able to have this result is also the reason why the prime minister is secretly fueling the troubles. Otherwise, with the two of us, how can we regret the favorite princess of the Son of Heaven? As for the rest, it's not something that people of our status should think about. Why bother yourself? ”
Li Xisong said softly: "Yuwentai is a person...... It's too ruthless. ”
When the emperor was furious because of this case and hurriedly set off to return to the palace, Chang'an City was already boiling. It's all about it on the streets. At first, there were just people talking about it, and in the middle of the night, a woman screamed for help. Later, it seemed that someone deliberately leaked some details, and everyone was discussing that the previous sensational case of the Seven Tails River and Seven Corpses was committed by Princess Gaoping.
The people's grievances spread like weeds in the wilderness being ignited, and the flames gradually became a prairie fire, and every day people went to various government offices to cry out for grievances, demanding that the deceased be avenged. The people's grievances were so indignant that in just two or three days, the courtiers' performances flew like snowflakes to the Son of Heaven's big case, and some upright ministers wrote five or six times a day, demanding that the murderers be severely punished, so as to make the people angry.
It's really strange that Yu Wentai, who is alive and well on weekdays, has suddenly been so sick that he can't get out of bed since he came back from the princess's mansion that day, can't watch the twists and turns, and can't enter the palace. The emperor was so anxious and heartbroken that his head was about to explode in the face of the noisy ministers in a large hall.
In the face of ironclad evidence, the emperor had to order Princess Gaoping to become a nun and confine her in the royal monastery for life to calm down the boiling public grievances.
When the news that Princess Gaoping was taken to the royal temple for solitary confinement reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yuwentai suddenly felt relieved, and his illness suddenly recovered.
"Prime Minister." He Louqi ran in and handed over a notebook, "Li Xisong was at the door just now, and he wanted to hand this over to the prime minister." ”
Yu Wentai had roughly guessed what this recital was. He knows Li Xisong. He is too upright and not tactful enough. Since the formulation of the Ten Articles of Serious Crimes, he had used his character to suppress some lawless ministers in the court, but if it weren't for Princess Gaoping's matter this time, he wouldn't have used him like this.
When I opened the fold, I saw that I was resigning and returning home.
He closed the fold and said, "Yes." Let him go. ”
"What about Dali Siqing?"
"Let's go back to Chang." Saying this, I felt very sorry in my heart. Because of Princess Gaoping, one of his sharp knives was broken!
After taking care of this matter, he thought of Ran Ying again.
"Ah Ying still lives there in Qi Mitou? What is she up to? ”
She ...... She was busy with a blind date. He Louqi said cautiously.
"Blind date?" Yu Wentai suddenly felt a burst of angina, "Who is she?" ”
The son of a local Gaomen in Jingzhou took a fancy to her and asked someone to go to Dugu Jingzhou Mansion to ask. Mrs. Dugu made the decision to arrange a blind date...... Hey, in fact, it's not a blind date, I heard that both sides made an appointment to bring their children to the temple to burn incense and eat a fast, and meet each other or something. The housewife doesn't necessarily like Ah Ran. Saying this, He Louqi felt that what he said made sense: "Yes, do you think, Ah Ran's temper, which man's mother would agree to let her enter the door?" I don't think it can be done, it definitely can't be done. ”
But Yu Wentai felt that he was really going to fall ill. He had just finished the tricky things in a hurry, and before he had time to get complacent, she couldn't wait? In such a hurry to get married?
"Prime Minister, ...... are you" Seeing that his face instantly became ugly, He Louqi panicked.
"This bastard! Darn!! Yu Wentai scolded.
At this time, even He Louqi was slandered. This person is really, don't hug your own pipa, and you are not allowed to marry others?
It was drizzling on this day, and when Luo and Ran Ying's carriage arrived at Xingshan Temple, the people of the Yang family had just arrived.
When Yang Song saw them coming, he hurriedly ordered a few maids around him to meet them. Connected with several maids from Dugu Mansion, two people were clustered under a bunch of umbrellas, and they went up the steps of Xingshan Temple.
For example, Luo smiled and greeted Mrs. Yang, and then introduced Ran Ying to Mrs. Yang. Yang Song looked at Ran Ying, who was dressed dignified and decent, and smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line, and he couldn't wait to introduce himself.
It was raining on this day, and there were not many pilgrims in the temple. The Assassin and the Yang family's dependents came, and the abbot personally came out to accompany them. Several people worshiped the Buddha and worshiped the incense, and added sesame oil money, so they were accompanied by the abbot to wander around the temple.
The spring rain is like a continuous one, the silk is dense, the mist is light around the cage, the vegetation in the temple is verdant, even the air is wet, it is exceptionally refreshing and comfortable.
Seeing Mrs. Yang and Ru Luo in front of the abbot walking and talking about Buddhist scriptures, Ran Ying fell behind alone and was bored, Yang Chung quietly fell behind and walked side by side with her.
Ran Ying knew that he was coming, her eyes looked at her nose, her nose looked at her heart, she didn't speak, and she didn't turn her head to look at him.
After taking two steps, Yang Song couldn't bear it anymore and said, "When I went back on the day of the banquet, I mentioned it to my mother, saying that there was a girl in the Dugu Thorn Shi family who had a good character and good looks. I really praised it like that, who knew that her old man asked someone to go to the assassin's house the next day to inquire. Don't mind, she's in a hurry to want me to marry a wife, it's too presumptuous. ”
Ran Ying: "......"
She thought that Lang was intentional, and the concubine was ruthless. I didn't expect that Lang and the concubine didn't have that mind. What a joke today. However, when Yang Song said this, she put her mind at ease: "I also said, I still think you shouldn't be such an abrupt person." ”
Yang Chung smiled: "Then what kind of person does Ah Ran think I, Yang Chung, are?" ”
"We only met twice, so we took the liberty to judge you, and I am not such an abrupt person." Ran Ying was very polite.
Yang Chung was unhappy: "Why not twice?" It's three times. He also counted the time when the festival was at the water's edge.
The little boy is willful, and Ran Ying has a faint headache.
The two of them slowly walked behind the group for a while, chatting with each other. Mrs. Yang and Ru Luo, who were in front, suddenly turned around, and when they saw the two of them walking side by side behind and talking softly, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile. When the children came together, they really had endless things to say.
When they first met, Yang's mother was still quite satisfied with Ran Ying, she looked refreshing and decent, with beautiful facial features, but not very beautiful. What's more, it is a girl from the Dugu family, which is indeed a good marriage.
They looked back and smiled, which made Yang Song and Ran Ying a little embarrassed. The dialogue that could have barely been sustained could no longer continue.
After being cold for a while, Yang Song said, "By the way, I heard Li Yu say that you like Uncle Ji's night." I happen to have a collection of his calligraphy, paintings and manuscripts, and I brought them today, are you interested in taking a look? ”
As soon as she heard the three big words "Uncle Ji's night", Ran Ying's eyes immediately released a bright light: "Where is it?" ”
"I didn't take it out when it rained, and I put it in the carriage." Yang Song said, took an umbrella from the hand of the maid beside him, pulled Ran Ying under his umbrella, and said, "I'll take you over." ”
When the two maids saw that their son-in-law was about to leave the team with Ran Ying, and were about to follow, Yang Song said, "You serve your mother, you don't have to follow me." After that, he left everyone and led Ran Ying to the carriage with an umbrella.
Ran Ying followed Yang Song to the side of the carriage, and Yang Song thoughtfully helped her into the carriage and followed herself.
There were several rectangular wooden boxes stacked in the corner of the carriage, Yang Song reached out and took them and lined them up in front of Ran Ying, and said proudly: "Girl, please feel free." ”
Ran Ying's eyes lit up with excitement, and she shook Suo Suo to open the first box. It's a scroll, and because of its age, the edges are a little broken. She unfolded slowly, carefully, and her breathing stopped. This is Ji Kang's "Lion Striking the Elephant".
Ran Ying shook her hands and admired it for a long time, and then opened the second box. It's a roll of manuscript paper. She unfolded it more and more carefully, and this time, she almost passed out in excitement. This is Ji Kang's cursive "Poem of Sorrow". The font is brilliant and elegant, and the artistic conception of the poem of melancholy complements each other, which is wonderful.
The rest of the two or three boxes Ran Ying also saw them one by one, and they were all genuine. She felt that it was very difficult to breathe, and her little face was red with excitement. She looked at Yang Chung on the side: "How can you have these?" ”
