Chapter Forty-Nine: The Bahe River Meets Old Friends

Ran Ying secretly lived in Puyuan for ten days, and Yuwentai ordered an all-out search for the murderer who kidnapped Prime Minister Changshi. For a time, Chang'an City was full of rumors, and the court was also turbulent.

Liang Jingrui has been sick at home since the day after Lang Ying's disappearance and the start of a massive search in Chang'an City, and has not been in court.

Ten days later, Chen Qian and Shi Zhonghe were found by domestic servants to commit suicide at home, leaving a suicide note claiming to be the mastermind of Lang Ying's kidnapping. Begging for supreme forgiveness, don't burden the family.

When Monaro put the two suicide notes presented by Dali Temple in front of Yuwentai's case, Yuwentai opened it and glanced at it a few times, and sneered: "Liang Jingrui is playing well with his hands to protect the car." Also killed? He is so confident that Lang Ying is dead? ”

"According to common sense, if you are kidnapped and still alive, you should not hide. For more than ten days, I didn't see anyone dead or a corpse, and I thought I was dead. I'm afraid that Lang Ying's safe return to the dynasty will make it difficult for him to sleep and eat. Monalo chuckled.

Yu Wentai thought for a while and said, "It is a serious crime to kidnap an official of the imperial court, how can it be forgiven. Tell Dali Temple that Chen Qianshi Zhong and his family were all exiled to Dunhuang to dig grottoes, and the children of the clan will never be allowed to enter the court as officials. ”

Monalo cautiously asked: "Lang Ying's return to the dynasty, there is a discrepancy with their suicide note, if it arouses the suspicion of Dali Temple......

"Let them be suspicious, even if they continue to investigate, they won't find anything. Lang Ying's return to the dynasty will put Liang Jingrui under a lot of pressure, and if Dali Temple is suspicious, it will only make his tail clamp tighter. ”

He thought about it for a while, and then said, "Take that little thing back to Chang'an." ”

After that day, Yu Wentai never went to Puyuan again. On the one hand, he wanted to sit in Chang'an, and secretly put pressure on Liang Jingrui with a huge search and arrest, forcing him to kill people and kill people; On the other hand, he is also worried that his whereabouts have revealed Lang Ying's hiding place.

Lang Ying's safe return to the dynasty caused shock to the government and the opposition, and the Supreme announced that she went to Qinghua Hall alone to appease, but there were also questions: "The suicide note left by the prisoner claims that Qing has been killed, how did Lang Qing escape?" ”

Yu Wentai had already informed her of this question before she entered the palace, and at this time she answered it fluently: "When His Majesty was tied up in the mountains by the killer that day to cause harm, General Wuwei arrived in time to save His Majesty. He and his subordinates agreed that in order to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes, let his subordinates temporarily pretend to be dead and not show up, put pressure on the main culprit, and let him mess up. ”

The emperor nodded: "Well, Li Yu is smart in this matter. I will reward him. Lang Qing, you have been frightened this time, and I have another reward. ”

Ran Ying thanked her when she went out of the palace city, saw that Li Yu was already waiting outside, saw her, and grinned: "Lang Changshi is frightened." ”

Ran Ying also replied with a sly smile and arched her hand: "General Wuwei has a bright future. ”

After the kidnapping case was over, Yuwentai seemed to be much more generous to Ran Ying, and he didn't need to copy the folds, he just went to play chess with him every afternoon and chatted a few words, and Ran Ying's life was very leisurely.

In the evening of that day, she had nothing to do, and went out alone to go boating on the Ba River.

The Bahe River at night is a scene of Chang'an, both sides are wine shops and flower buildings, after nightfall, the lights on both sides of the river are bright, the singing and dancing are continuous, very lively.

Since calling Chang'an, Ran Ying has been hearing people talk about the grand scene of entering the water at night, and this evening she chartered a small boat, put wine on the bow, and let the boatman paddle along the river, and slowly enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lights and wine along the coast.

Gradually, the night is closed, and the lights are on. The two sides of the strait were lit up with colorful lights one after another, and they gradually became lively. Ran Ying sat on the bow of the boat, listening to the sound of singing, laughter and silk and bamboo wind music coming from the wine shops and flower buildings along the coast, and looked at those young and beautiful singers and dancers with heavy makeup and beautiful flowers and dancers on the bank of the river, and sighed secretly in her heart.

The lotus lanterns in the river flowed one by one, dotted with stars in the river, dimly flashing, as if the starry sky had fallen into the mortal world. The boat slowly cruised in the lanterns. The scenery was like this, and she was a little intoxicated.

Suddenly, I heard someone say loudly, "Isn't that A-Ying?!" ”

When she looked back, it turned out to be classmates from several colleges. The one who called her was Wang Mao, from the Lelang Wang family, and his father was Wang Meng, a general of the chariot cavalry, and he was also a dignitary in the court.

Ran Ying glanced at the others, Zhao Du, Shangshu's right servant shot Zhao Shan's son. There is also a man named Su Sui, who is the younger brother of General Wei Su Rang. The three of them were in the same boat, and they also went out to play at night. After discovering her, the three of them urged the boatman to merge with the boat, but they were not polite, and stepped on Ran Ying's boat.

They grinned and said, "The students have seen Lang Changshi. He bowed down and bowed his hand.

After more than a month of copying and writing, Ran Ying has already made the situation and position of these families clear. The few people in front of her were all from the family that supported Yuwentai, so they boarded the ship, and Ran Ying didn't care.

Position is the most important thing, the so-called things gather people in groups, if there is a group of people who oppose Yuwentai in front of you, and Ran Ying is with them and is spread by people with ulterior motives, the consequences are very serious.

"Why are you guys here?" Seeing her former classmates, Ran Ying's interest was even higher.

Su Sui said: "The old mother sentenced by the hospital died of illness and went back to her hometown to mourn, and she will not be able to come back within three years." The college is temporarily on vacation, and a new judge will come soon. - By the way, when we heard that A-Ying was kidnapped a while ago, we were all terrified. Good thing you're safe. ”

"I heard that Li Yu brought someone to save him, it's really dangerous! It's so unsafe to be a long history. Zhao Du said.

Ran Ying smiled: "The incident happened suddenly, I also learned a lesson this time, you can't argue with people casually." ”

Wang Mao raised his fist and slapped her: "You guy, you have become the prime minister's long history, and it has caused a sensation in the entire academy - no, not to mention the academy, even the officialdom of the entire Chang'an has been shaken a lot, my father said, this Lang Ying is not obvious, I don't know what the origin is, but it has been so valued by Prime Minister Yuwen." We are really envious and unconvinced. You came to the academy the latest, and you didn't read the best books, if you have any talent, you can't see it, how can the prime minister take a fancy to you? "He has a cheerful personality, has no city, and envy is all written on his face.

Ran Ying smiled proudly: "I can't read as well as you, and I may not be as talented as you, but my luck is better than yours." Who let me kill Gao Aocao by luck? ”

Zhao Du also smiled: "You said that you are obviously a scholar, but you have done something that many generals can't do, aren't you a strange person?" ”

Su Sui said on the side: "Wrong, wrong, you have all forgotten, A-Ying is a master of using swords, not necessarily worse than some generals." We used to be in the academy, who was his opponent? It's not luck that sent Gao Aocao to his sword, but I'm afraid that this luck will fall on our heads, and we won't be able to catch it. ”

Although Ran Ying was not very close to them when he was in the academy that day, these people did not exclude him, so when Ran Ying saw them at this time, she only felt relaxed and happy, and her mood became very happy.

Little did she know that the party would be something she would never forget.
