Chapter 40 Ma Weipo [Asking for Tickets and Collection]
Just when Su Cheng was sweeping the medicinal materials in the palace, Kukai and Bai Lotian were not idle.
After they hurried in and out of the palace, they found Chao Heng's former residence, wanting to find out a trace of the truth from the home of the Tang envoy sent by Dongying.
Chao Heng's real name is Abe Zhongmaro, the most famous Tang Dynasty student, participated in the imperial examination in the Kaiyuan period, and became friends with many poets in middle and high school.
Li Bai once wrote a poem "Crying Chao Qingheng" for him, and Wang Wei also sent off the poem "Send the Secretary Chao Jian to Return to the Country", the most important thing is that he was also present when the Ma Weipo incident occurred!
When the concubine was buried, Chao Heng followed Tang Xuanzong to Shu for refuge.
When he came to Datang, he did not return to China, but invited the monk Jianzhen to go east, which became a good story of a generation.
After the death of Abe Nakamaro, he was posthumously awarded the title of a member from the second rank, and even the servants have changed several generations over the years, turning over and becoming the master, and there is only so without descendants. The small house can only be maintained by the care of the descendants of the deceased, but the relationship is getting weaker and weaker, the dragon does not live with the snake, and the officials are naturally reluctant to associate with the descendants of the servants!
Now no one in Dongying's Tang Dynasty can have such a high position, and if the owner of the former residence at this time is not looking at Kukai's face, he is not willing to let the two of them enter the door at all.
It's a pity that Chao Heng didn't leave any records in his later years, and he never told the servants about the things of that year, and it was just speculation that he didn't marry in his life.
"Mr. Chao Heng is here for the concubine? Since he loved the concubine, why didn't he stop it at that time? Kukai was a little puzzled, how cruel it was to watch the person he liked die in front of his eyes!
Bai Letian stared at his companion with a fool's eyes, "When Ma Weiyi was in the post, all the officers and soldiers rebelled, and even His Majesty Xuanzong Li Longji had to kill the concubine to calm the army's heart, how could a foreigner stop it?" ”
What's more, there are rumors among the people that Yang Guifei did not actually die, but was replaced by a palace maid and secretly sent to Dongying.
Ma Weiyi is related to Dongying, and there is only Abe Nakamaro.
Of course, these are just rumors and speculations, and they can't be put on the table. Almost all official histories indicate that Gao Lishi hanged Yang Guifei under the pear tree in the Buddhist hall, and the credibility is much higher than the rumors.
Bai Lotian didn't know what he should expect, whether he should expect Yang Guifei to really end in tragedy, or whether he expected her not to die in Ma Weipo.
The only thing I don't want to believe is what the demon cat informed, and I can't accept that the concubine was buried alive by Xuanzong's order!
All the answers point to the little inn, and it seems that it is necessary to go.
……
Ma Weiyi is located more than ten miles west of Chang'an, not too far from Xianyang.
As soon as the gate of Fang City opened, Bai Lotian couldn't wait to rent a carriage and head west with Kukai.
Fearing that they would involve innocent people in the demon cat incident, they did not let the coachman accompany them, so they were slow to stop-and-go.
By the Weishui, Su Cheng had been guarding the road to Ma Weiyi early on, and if they didn't come, they could only be arrested and forcibly sent over.
In order not to miss these two people, he had to keep his sense of smell on all the time and endure the smell of horse manure on the official road.
Although the divine sense is more useful, there is no spare soul in Su Cheng's soul scattering gourd that can be used to restore the sea of consciousness. Going to Ma Weipo means that he may make a move with the demon cat Bailong, and if he can reduce the damage on the way, he will try to minimize it, and he has already begun to gather momentum!
"It's finally here, it's almost three poles a day!"
It only took less than an hour from Chang'an City to the edge of Weishui, but Su Cheng was stunned and waited from morning to noon here, and he was already extremely impatient.
With such a noisy and foul-smelling environment, it was impossible to calm down and cultivate.
Bai Lotian sat next to the carriage, Kukai held the reins and the whip, the two looked a little heavy, and did not speak.
"Bang"
Suddenly, a black cat with sparks fell from the sky and stood directly on the back of the horse pulling the cart, leaving the two men dumbfounded.
And the yellow horse, which was pulling the cart, stood up with its front hooves raised and stood up on its hind legs, making a loud and frightened neighing sound!
The animal's sense is the keen, and this horse senses the evil aura and bloody aura on Su Cheng's body, and even has a faint sense of suppression, which is simply a huge threat.
Su Cheng slapped the horse's back hard with his paws, suppressed it, and then opened up all his momentum to deter it.
The yellow horse looked extremely nervous, and stopped in place and did not dare to move, for fear of disturbing the little ancestor on his back, which was really likely to be eaten!
Bai Lotian was not surprised by Su Cheng's arrival at all, but he was a little surprised by this way, "I thought I would see you over there at Ma Weiyi." ”
Su Cheng came to hitchhike, and secondly, to monitor and escort them over, and now he is using illusion to drive the yellow horse to start again.
After the sense of smell was turned off, Su Cheng was finally a little happier.
It had just rained lightly in the early morning, and there was no dust flying when the carriage was galloping, Su Cheng maintained the posture of a big man, and he said: "Ma Weipo is a little uneven, I'll take you over." ”
At the beginning, in order to prevent someone from attacking the tomb of the concubine, the demon cat Bailong made various arrangements around it. Although these things were passed on to Su Cheng's sea of knowledge, there was no way to crack it, and Bai Long just wanted to toss him!
And that was many years ago, if I didn't guess wrong, the layout of the year has changed more or less now, and it is even easy to breed demons.
The details of Kukai are not clear, but if Bai Letian is in trouble, it will really change the Chinese literary world.
Secondly, Su Cheng is also willing to encounter some demons whose cultivation is still shallow, just like the spoon spirit he met in Chang'an Yi before was purely to give himself experience and give away his head!
The inside of the soul scattering gourd is empty, and it is also excellent to catch a few demons and refine to improve the sea of knowledge.
By the way, I also verified my strength and saw what level I could reach after a few three times of strengthening. If you can't even get past the demons guarding the tomb, then you still continue to be obscene. Let's do it.
"Not peaceful? Is something going on? Bai Lotian was puzzled, now the biggest unfairness in Chang'an is in front of him, this demon cat is tossing the government very much.
He also cursed and killed the emperor and the crown prince, killed Jin Wuwei on the street, and killed Hu Yulou on Zhuque Street, and even ruined the Chen family, which was so high-profile that it was not good.
If Bai Lotian knew that the recent theft of medicinal herbs, the murder case of the Song family's pharmacy and the feng shui koi case of the prince's chamberlain were all committed by Su Cheng, he would probably be shocked!
Kukai's technique of driving the carriage is not good, and now after Su Cheng used a small illusion, the yellow horse ran fast and steady, and after more than two hours, he brought them to the side of the Maweipo Station.
At this time, there were not many people outside the post station, and after Bai Lotian temporarily stored the carriage in the post station, he followed Su Cheng and walked up the slope, not knowing what cruel truth was waiting for him on this trip!
