Chapter Eighty-Eight: Misfortune Leads to the East
"Eighth Prince, you are bullying women and children with so many Praetorian Guards, and you are not afraid that others will laugh off their big teeth?" Qian Fan hugged Yue Lengyu, turned around and looked at Luo Langyi and said, "I didn't know that the gentle Eighth Prince in the capital was not even as good as a bandit. ”
"I was also ordered to take away the little boy, Miss Yue, please hand over the little boy to me." Luo Langyi said that he reached out to pick up the child, but he didn't want Qianfan to walk directly outside the house.
"Since the emperor wants to see my brother, then I will take it personally." Qian Fan didn't pay attention to Luo Langyi at all and walked straight out.
Luo Langyi lowered his hand and clenched his fist, and snorted coldly in his heart, Yue Qianfan, since you don't know how to lift and help Lao Qi deal with me, then I can only destroy you!
Qian Fan unhurriedly asked people to prepare a carriage, and sat directly on it with the child in his arms, and then asked Fengyang to rush to the palace, leaving Luo Langyi and the Praetorian Guards directly at the gate of Yue's mansion.
"Father, Miss Yue and Son-in-law have arrived." Luo Langyi finally arrived at the main hall before Qianfan, and then said: "Mrs. Yue is unwell and has not been able to come. ”
Qian Fan walked into the main hall with Yue Lengyu in his arms, and saw that Yue Chongnan was already standing aside with an ugly face, the two glanced at each other, and Qian Fan saluted the emperor, but the emperor never spoke.
Qian Fan knelt in His Royal Highness in a regular manner, Yue Lengyu in his arms slept soundly, as if he didn't know what he was going to face, and waited for a stick of incense before the emperor said slowly: "Get up." ”
"Your Majesty." Qian Fan got up and walked to his father's side, his eyes fell on an old Taoist priest standing opposite, and when he saw that person, Qian Fan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect an old acquaintance......
"Lin Dao Chief, why are you here?" Although Qian Fan knew that it was disrespectful to speak in front of the emperor, she was sure that the emperor would immediately change his interest after saying this, so she opened her mouth preemptively.
"Do you know Daoist Lin?" Sure enough, when the emperor heard Qianfan's words, he immediately looked at her, and then at Lin Daochang, and spoke strangely.
And Luo Langyi, who was standing on the side, was also surprised when he heard that Qianfan actually knew Lin Daochang, looking at Lin Daochang's puzzled expression, he began to mutter: "It is impossible for Yue Qianfan to know Lin Daochang, but why do you know that his surname is Lin?" ”
"Back to the emperor, I don't know Lin Daochang," Qian Fan said with a smile: "It's just that the girl Cuiyan next to me used to perform in Lingcheng, and she told me a very interesting thing about this Lin Daochang." ”
"Lingcheng!" When the forest chief heard the name of this place, he immediately sweated on his forehead, and he seemed to be a little nervous.
"What's interesting to hear?" The emperor was unconsciously guided by Qian Fan to the topic, and he began to be a little suspicious when he looked at Lin Daochang's strange reaction.
"It seems that in order to cheat money and sex, I deliberately said that the girl from a big family was a catastrophe, but the big family was afraid to ask for help from this Lin Daochang, and Lin Daochang said that the gods had to break the woman's body." Qian Fan said as he looked at Lin Daochang, and the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
"And then?" When the emperor heard this, he had already vaguely guessed what Qian Fan was going to say, but he didn't particularly believe Qian Fan's words in his heart, after all, she might also deliberately fabricate the matter of Lin Daochang in order to save her younger brother.
"It turned out that it was also a strong woman, and she did not want to be defiled by strangers, so she committed suicide in her red wedding dress." Qian Fan said softly: "Later, the family began to die inexplicably, and Qin Tiandu happened to pass by at that time, only to find out that the woman came back to take revenge because she was unjustly killed, but after the prefect arrested Nalin Daoist, he found out that he was a complete thief." ”
"What people didn't expect was that the Taoist priest fled, and Cuiyan said that Lingcheng was full of portraits of Taoist priests, and Qin Tiandu could also testify to this." As soon as Qianfan's voice fell, the emperor immediately asked people to call Qin Tiandu.
As soon as Hui Zhen arrived at the palace, the emperor asked, "Qin Tiandu, have you ever been to Lingcheng to subdue a female ghost who died unjustly?" ”
"How did the emperor find out?" Hui Zhen Yuguang saw Qian Fan with a calm face, and immediately pretended to be surprised and asked, "The poor monk was just passing by at that time, so he didn't stay for long. After saying that, he told the cause and effect of the matter, and it was no different from what Qianfan said.
Qian Fan always stood aside expressionlessly, the reason why she knew this Lin Dao Chief was also because he was appreciated by Luo Langyi when he was down, and when he met Hui Zhen by chance, Hui Zhen recognized him and told Qian Fan about it.
In fact, where is there any female ghost, it's just that Hui Zhen couldn't stand the fact that Daoist Lin harmed the people, so he deliberately used the art of Jing Huang to conjure up a paper figure.
And then the person who told Laulanyi that he could cure the disease with the blood of his heart was this Lin Daoist! In the previous life, she harmed the child in her womb, and in this life, she will harm her younger brother, Lin Daochang, since you have come to the capital, then leave your life behind!
Lin Daochang inadvertently looked at Qianfan's eyes, and when he saw that there seemed to be a monstrous blood intent in her eyes, he was immediately shocked and took two steps back.
Over the years, he has traveled to many places, in order to wait for someone to forget about the incident in Lingcheng and then go out of the mountain, but he didn't expect to be recognized as soon as he made a move! And that girl's eyes clearly said that she was going to kill herself!
The emperor was a little displeased when he saw Lin Daochang's appearance, and asked with a frown: "Lin Daochang, what they said is the truth?" ”
"Your Majesty, wronged, Ben Dao doesn't know how to offend this girl, she actually colluded with Qin Tiandu to slander Ben Dao, and asked the emperor to investigate!" Lin Daochang hurriedly knelt down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what you have to solve now is the matter of the disaster of the country, if this matter is not handled well, the Huangyuan country will inevitably perish!" ”
"Your Majesty, almost everyone knows about Lin Daochang's affairs in Lingcheng, and the courtiers are true, if the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Lingcheng to investigate." Qian Fan never mentioned the matter of the calamity, and said to the emperor: "As for the collusion between the Qin Tiandu and the courtiers mentioned by Lin Daochang, the courtiers have never seen the Qin Tiandu, so how can they talk about collusion?" ”
"General Yue, Daoist Lin said that Yue Lengyu is a disaster for the country, what do you think of this matter?" Seeing that the matter was led to Qin Tiandu and Lin Daochang by Qian Fan, Luo Langyi hurriedly said: "This matter is not trivial, General Yue still has to be cautious." ”
"Your Majesty, the courtiers think that this matter can't be believed by Lin Daochang alone, not to mention that this Lin Daochang may be fake," Qian Fan secretly handed a reassuring look to his father, and pointed at Lin Daochang without giving in and said: "Then such a person says that the courtier's brother is a disaster for the country, and the courtier's daughter is not convinced!" ”
"And whose words do you think you believe?" The emperor was actually unbearable, and suddenly a Taoist priest said the words of the calamity of the country, and naturally immediately thought of the recent nightmare, so he immediately brought Yue Chongnan over, and now he was disturbed by Qianfan, but his heart slowly calmed down.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers invited Master Yunlin, the presiding abbot of Qingyan Temple, to bless her younger brother in the New Year five days ago, and Master Yunlin happened to be in the house when Qianfan came to the palace." Qian Fan replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Master Yunlin is a well-known monk in the capital, and the courtiers ask the emperor to give the Yue family a chance to clear themselves. ”
"Since you are so sure, Gonggong Xu, send someone to bring Master Yunlin here." The emperor naturally knew the name of Master Yunlin, and he also wanted to understand this matter, so he nodded and agreed.
It didn't take long for Master Yunlin to arrive at the main hall, and the emperor didn't want to delay any longer, so he said things briefly, after Qian Fan whispered Yue Lengyu's birthday to Master Yunlin, Master Yunlin began to deduce.
"Your Majesty, according to Lao Wei, General Yue's son is not only not a disaster for the country, but will become a great weapon in the future." Master Yunlin couldn't help but laugh and said: "The old man also wants to congratulate the emperor, this son's life is extremely high, and he will be a talent who can be a man of Wen, Anbang and Wucan in the future!" ”
"Is that true?" When the emperor heard this, he looked at the baby in Qianfan's arms in surprise, only to see that he had already woken up, but he never cried or made trouble, a pair of small black eyes looked at the people around him curiously, looking extraordinarily energetic, and his heart suddenly believed seven points.
"Your Majesty, Master Yunlin was invited by Miss Yue, so there may be something strange about this matter!" Lin Daochang hurriedly said: "That child is definitely a disaster, the emperor must not be careless!" ”
Master Yunlin heard someone slandering him for not being impatient, not sad or happy, and said lightly: "This Taoist chief, the Buddhist monk does not speak, and justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, how did the Taoist chief calculate that the little son of the Yue family is a disaster?" ”
"The emperor was disturbed by a nightmare, and I spent my time to get a glimpse of the heavens, only to conclude that it was disturbed by a newborn baby in the southeast of the palace, and it was determined that it was the little son of the Yue family after careful elimination." Lin Daochang said with a distressed look: "Master Yunlin is covering up the disaster, if there is anything wrong with the Huangyuan fortune, can the master dare to take it?" ”
"Father, there is more than one son of the Yue family in the southeast." At this time, the prince walked in and said to the emperor: "As far as the ministers know, there is a concubine in the eighth brother's house who has just given birth to a son, and she is the same day as the son of the Yue family!" ”
"Eighth child, you haven't married a concubine yet, and you let Tongfang give birth to a child?" The emperor immediately frowned, looked at Qin Tiandu and said, "Qin Tiandu, you do the math, who of these two children is the real disaster star." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Master Huizhen calculated carefully and replied respectfully: "This matter is all providential, and the emperor can wait patiently." ”
"Providence?" Before the emperor's words fell, he only heard Gonggong Xu walk in, glanced at the Eighth Prince in embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, a fire broke out in the back house of the Eighth Prince's Mansion, and the fire was so rapid that it has already affected the surrounding people's houses, killing and injuring dozens of people!" ”
When the emperor heard this, a pair of eyes shot at Luo Langyi like a sharp blade, and sneered: "What a master!" What a disaster for the country! Come on, pull this forest chief down and cut me down! ”
"Your Majesty! Emperor! The way is wronged! Lin Daochang didn't understand what was going on, and the person was gagged by the guards and pulled down.
"Eighth child, since the will of heaven is like this, you know what to do, right?" The emperor looked at Lau Langyi, and the disappointment and annoyance in his eyes were obvious.
