Chapter 53
In the past two days, Daddy always ran to Yiwang's Mansion, and when Daddy came back that day, I stole the opportunity of Daddy's absence and slipped out with Mo'er.
When I went to King Yi's Mansion, Chu Muxiu was still practicing calligraphy in the study, and Qian Che was also inside.
I deliberately took the written rice paper and looked at it, and then began to test, "My father is running to you every day, are you and my father planning something big that I don't know?" ”
Chu Muxiu still wrote calmly: "Yes! ”
I leaned over curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Qian Che suddenly screamed in my ear, "Pretend to be a ghost!"
"Pretending to be a ghost?" I was a little stunned, not because I was afraid, but because I couldn't understand what Qian Che said.
Qian Che tilted his head at me and Mo'er: "I'm afraid!" ”
On a whim: "Why don't you bring me and Mo'er, I'm the best at pretending, when I was a child, I knocked over Mr.'s ink table when I went to private school, and then I pretended not to know, Mr. didn't see it!" ”
Qian Che hurriedly took many steps back: "We are going to do business, do you think it is as simple as going to a private school when you were a child?" ”
Chu Muxiu was finally willing to put down the pen in his hand: "Take them with you, it's not a hassle!" ”
"Okay, okay, I must not cause trouble, I must not cause trouble!" It's still Chu Muxiu who is good to me, I used to think Chu Muxiu was stingy, but now I find that what Mo'er said is very right, Qian Che is a scoundrel.
That night, our troops divided into two routes, Chu Muxiu and I went to Zhong Yanqing's mansion, and Mo'er and Qianche went to Lu Yongwu's mansion. I wore a long black robe, my face was as white and black as a singing act with flour, a strip of black cloth was bitten in my mouth, and I wore a knee-high fake fur on my head, which really looked like black impermanence.
The black robe was too long, and I dragged it behind me, "How is it, is it like a ghost?" I asked him.
Chu Muxiu nodded: "It's the same as a real ghost!" ”
I was stunned, "Have you ever seen a real ghost?" ”
I often heard people say that the wife should not interject when the husband speaks, but I enjoy it and enjoy this pleasure.
The guards on the big official's mansion are strict, and Chu Muxiu and I dodged the layers of family handles, if it weren't for me, Chu Muxiu would have flown in.
We went into his house and saw him sitting on a pear wood stool reading a book. I heard Chu Muxiu say that he was greedy for money and bribery, cruel and fateful, but now he can sit and read like a nobody, he is really a sanctimonious villain.
With a whew, the kerosene lamp in the house suddenly went off the fire, and then the door closed quietly. Zhong Yanqing was timid, looked out of the door intentionally or unintentionally, and fell off the stool as soon as his body became weak, and the whole person was half lying on the ground.
The door opened by a ghostly accord, and after a puff of white smoke I appeared in the doorway, and I raised my hands and limped in.
Zhong Yanqing's face turned blue with fright, and she couldn't stop stepping back, "Grandpa, which way are you an immortal?" ”
He took a step back and I took a step closer, and my eyes stared at him deadly: "I, no, yes, god, fairy, I, yes, ghost, is a ghost......"
Zhong Yanqing shivered and hid behind the tent, covering her face with a book, "Ghost? Since you have entered the loess, you should be reincarnated as soon as possible, I have no grievances with you, why do you come to find me? ”
I screamed: "I still need you to teach me if I don't reincarnate, believe it or not, I will take your life!" ”
Zhong Yanqing was so frightened that she couldn't hold the book, and knelt in front of me and begged for mercy, "Wrong, ghost grandpa, I was wrong, wrong......"
"Do you remember that twenty years ago, there was a candidate named Wu Deqing who died tragically, he died and complained to me in the underworld, saying that you were bribed by others and participated in poisoning with others, causing his family to be ruined, and he said that he wanted you to pay for his life and wanted to find you to go to the underworld for him to be a ghost!"
"Ghost grandpa spare your life, spare your life, I was forced to kill Wu Deqing back then, it was Zhang Weizhi, it was Lord Yushi who ordered me to do this, his official position is bigger than mine, I am also forced to do it, you let Wu Deqing find him to ask for his life, I don't want to die, I don't want to die......" Zhong Yanqing kowtowed so much that his head was broken, and there were dots of blood on the ground.
I was stunned, this matter was actually operated by Lord Yushi. I know that Yushi Zhang Weizhi is a celebrity around His Majesty, and he has been prosperous in the past few years, but he doesn't take Daddy in his eyes, and Daddy is also anxious with him a few times. I'm glad that I caught him by mistake today, and finally did something serious for Daddy.
"This, there is a way to not die!"
"What do you ask for, even if it is bankrupt, I will not hesitate to do it......"
I waved my long black sleeves: "Wu Deqing said, he just wants an innocence and justice, as long as you confess the events of the year to Zhang Weizhi, the mastermind behind the scenes, when you go to the court, he can rest assured in the underworld, and I don't want you to go for him!" ”
He didn't dare to look up: "I said, I'll say it tomorrow morning, I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it......"
Later, Chu Muxiu let out another puff of white smoke, and I floated away and muttered in my mouth, "Remember, what you said, Wu Deqing...... I'm still watching you from the underworld......"
"Remember, remember......"
After I left, Zhong Yanqing fell to the ground limp, her eyes were distracted, and her mouth was open for a long time before she made a sound, "I've seen a ghost, I've seen a ghost......"
Zhong Yanqing was lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, and the people up and down the whole house were in a hurry, no one noticed us, and Chu Muxiu and I ran out easily.
I ripped the fake fur off my head: "Well, I'm pretending to be good!" ”
Chu Muxiu glanced at the Zhong Mansion, and there was a lot of noise inside, "I guess I can scare Lord Zhong to death now!" ”
"I wonder what happened to Mo'er and Qianche?"
"Qian Che gave me a code, they were ahead of us!"
I spit out the strip of black cloth in my mouth: "That's right, that's right, just now Lord Zhong said that he was ordered by Zhang Weizhi, the imperial historian, and the real tiger behind him is Zhang Weizhi!" ”
"I already knew it two days ago!"
I realized: "So you and Daddy have been planning this for the past few days?" ”
He snapped me in the head: "It's not too stupid!" ”
Flour and charcoal fell on my clothes, and my black robe was dyed white, and my face was itchy and unpleasant. On the way home, we passed by a stone bridge, and under the stone bridge was the small river. I couldn't resist going over and washing my clothes and face anymore. I squatted by the river, looking at my own shadow in the water, I was really startled, and then I suddenly poured a few handfuls of water on my face, and then poked it a few times, and my face was cold and comfortable.
Chu Muxiu stood next to me, "Have you washed it clean?" ”
I lifted my face and let the water run down my forehead and leave it dripping with the sideburns, "Can you help me see if it's clean?" ”
When I asked him, he didn't answer, but he looked at me for a long time, and I looked at him for a long time, and the moonlight hit his eyes, which were sparse and sparse, and I seemed to see my shadow in his eyes.
He reached out to remove the drops from my sideburns, and his hand ran it down my sideburns all the way to the side of my face, and he gently scratched my face with his fingers, "Beautiful." ”
I jumped up and laughed: "You compliment me on my good looks?" ”
He actually blushed for a while and then quickly withdrew his hand: "No, you heard it wrong!" With that, he turned his head as if he was about to run away.
I caught up and patted him: "I heard everything you pretended, you tell me again!" ”
"Didn't you say you heard that?"
"I love to hear it, you say it again!"
"If you don't say it twice, you can listen to it, and I can't do anything if you don't listen!"
I hid behind and jumped on his back, then pulled his neck tightly, and climbed him up like the wall of the house, but he didn't bother me, probably afraid that I would fall and hold me up from behind.
"If you don't want to say it, carry me home!"
After a while, he still grinned, "I said...... You're good-looking! ”
I put my mouth in his ear: "What, louder!" ”
"I said it's dark and go home."
"Hahahaha......"
At that time, it was really beautiful to be together, and I really dared to think about anything......
He shouted as he ran ahead, and he ran very fast, getting off the stone bridge and reaching the entrance of the alley. The wind ran through my cheeks, and the dead leaves on the side of the road fell above my head. He was smiling at that moment, and so was I. I seemed to see the little world that Mr. Storyteller described as hidden in the wilderness of the Northwest. It is so close to us, so close, as if it is right in front of our eyes, as long as we take a little bigger, as long as we try to run a little faster, we can go to that place, we can be carefree, we can not grow old and immortal.
"My lord, His Royal Highness King Yi returned to the city two days ago, but there was no sound, and even His Majesty didn't know about it." The guards paused, "According to the people who came back, it was said that His Royal Highness King Yi rushed back from Yongzhou and brought back a person. In recent days, Nan Xiang has been in and out of King Yi's Mansion frequently, and they seem to be investigating the poisoning case of the examinees twenty years ago! ”
Wei Lian turned out to be someone next to Zhang Weizhi, Zhang Weizhi and His Majesty were originally in collusion, and His Majesty once sent Wei Lian to assassinate Chu Muxiu several times, but he missed, so later Wei Lian returned to Zhang Weizhi's side to do things for him. Thinking about it, Wei Lian is also pitiful, his skills are not perfect, the people here dislike him, and the people over there look down on him, and finally he was beaten back to his mother's womb.
Zhang Wei was shocked and thoughtful, "How can you investigate the poisoning case of the examinees twenty years ago, what does His Royal Highness King Yi bring back that person Zhang looks like?" ”
Wei Lian took a portrait and opened it in front of Zhang Weizhi, "This person probably looks like this!" ”
"Wu Deqing? He didn't die? Zhang Weizhi was startled, and his face changed suddenly.
Zhang Weizhi looked at the portrait again: "What is the movement in Zhong Yanqing and Pan Yongwu's mansion?" ”
"Lord Pan doesn't have anything, it's just that Lord Zhong suddenly became seriously ill, saying that he hit a ghost and fell into an evil spirit!"
"Evil? I was fine a few days ago, why did I suddenly fall into evil? ”
Zhang Weizhi stroked his beard: "No movement? It's even more strange that there is no movement, you take a few people to sneak into the house of the two of them tonight, remember to do it cleanly! ”
Wei Lian nodded.
"This King Yi didn't return to His Majesty when he returned to the city, this is clearly not taking His Majesty, the lord of the country, in his eyes. There is only Mrs. Li left in Yongzhou to control the water, and there is no one around him who can take care of it, this is a good time. In the past few years, I have worked hard for Your Majesty, and he Chu Muxiu wants to bring down His Majesty, the first thing is to move me, but I want to follow Your Majesty's will to take him into the army. ”
Wei Lian seemed to understand: "Do you want to move Mrs. Li?" ”
"He Chu Muxiu can move, why should I sit still, take this opportunity to suppress Chu Muxiu and convince Your Majesty, why not do it......"
