The Gongbo family, since the Shang Kingdom, is the Emperor Fu Jie Lingcheng, in charge of the jade seal of the country. After Zhou, to today's Wu State. It's just that after more than 2,000 years of dynastic changes, even if it is still regarded as a Fu Jie Lingcheng, it can't change the fate of the decline of the people. So far, only the Gongbo Shengde and his two daughters are left. Saintoku, who was frail and sickly since he was a child, was able to save his life by receiving the famous doctor given by the Holy Father today. Later, he was married by the current saint and married the three thousand gold of the royal history of the king, the niece of the current queen. Due to his frailty and sickness, the family of Lord Shotoku has only one wife, two concubines, and two daughters are from the Wang family, the eldest daughter is Bo Xin, and the younger daughter is Bo Zhezhe.

In the 23rd year of Emperor Liang, the 13-year-old daughter of the uncle's family, misled by the spies of other countries, wanted to carry the jade seal of the country, and fled with the spies. Mrs. Zou came forward to arrest the gangsters in one fell swoop and killed them on the spot. Gongbo and Wang took the guilt of Jing and pleaded down from outside the palace gate to the court, and the saint lamented that his daughter was young and naΓ―ve, but she was bewitched by others, but fortunately she found it in time and did not make a big mistake.

As soon as this incident came out, rumors came up one after another, and the 2,000 daughters of the uncle's family have been smart and clever since childhood, handsome and handsome, and at a young age, they have a sense of arrogance, especially good at poetry. At the age of 12, he was invited to participate in the palace banquet, a long song of praise, which won the favor of the saint and the prince. It is rumored that the emperor intends to marry the eldest son of the prince, the document has been written, just to be sealed, there is no warning, this happened, and, also at this juncture, the eldest son of the imperial historian, the eldest cousin of the second lady, was gone for no reason, and afterwards, the second lady of the uncle's family went crazy.

The people in the market have mixed tongues and tongues, and all kinds of rumors are spreading. One said that it was the second lady of this uncle's family, and this cousin had been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and when they grew up, they actually made friends in private, and they knew about the marriage, and the two wanted to elope. Who knew that the eldest sister found out and told her mother. The stakes are very high, and it involves the eldest son of the imperial history, so the two ladies are in charge, and they are induced by foreign spies to do the matter, and they really beat a servant to death, exposing the corpse of the bazaar for ten days. It was also this incident that provoked two young ladies of the son, one hanged himself and the other went crazy. Another thing to say is that the eldest lady of the uncle's family has been jealous of her sister since she was a child, she is more sensible and intelligent than herself, and her posture is also above herself. The two young ladies of the son, who are upright in nature, how can they endure the false accusations, in order to prove their innocence, they both died with their will, and ended up in a situation of death and madness.

In the spring of the 25th year of Emperor Liang, the eldest daughter of the uncle's family, Ye Qiongwen, the eldest son of the prince, and the second thousand gold prince Bo Zhezhe, gave marriage to Liang Xiangguo, and the third son Liang Zhecheng, who was frail and sick since childhood.

There was a sigh in the market, but in two years, the two young ladies had different results, and the conspiracy theories of the eldest lady became more and more intense.

The above are all notices posted in the imperial city, but the people in the market exploded.

The early spring weather is still a little cold, the willow trees outside the city have just emerged from the tip, these days, the sky is gloomy, the thunder is constant, and after a while, it really rains heavily. Those who had not yet had time to enter the city hid in a ruined temple two miles away from the city, lit a bonfire, and sat in a group. While cursing the bad weather, while twisting the water on the sleeves, some people thought that there was too much mud on their feet, so they picked a stick and peeled off the tight yellow mud on their shoes.

"Hey, did you hear that? Today, the emperor has married the two young ladies of the uncle's family! I don't know who started first, but for a while, more than a dozen people who didn't know each other sitting around instantly opened the conversation box and started talking.

"That little daughter is so pitiful, she was crazy by her sister, not to mention, and now it's her turn to be the crown princess, it's really infuriating!" A person who looks like a scholar is very indignant, "I think back then, the little daughter sang a long song, what a good talent, now people are not people, ghosts are not ghosts!" ”

"Isn't it, I heard that now, the uncle's family is still looking for a master to exorcise evil spirits, it's been two years! Even if it's a ghost, it's tossed to death, right? The man who buckled his feet threw the mud off and rubbed his hands on his body.

"How can it be that you are still exorcizing evil spirits? Crazy, the emperor also gave marriage? The village woman in the patch asked rhetorically.

"You don't know this, don't look at how pompous the emperor's marriage is on the surface, let's tell you the truth," the thin monkey-like flower child, suddenly hugged the broken bowl, covered his mouth, and whispered, "The third son of this prime minister is a sick man, the kind that will not live long!" ”

"Really?" A group of people blurted out at the same time, looking at Hanako and nodding seriously, and sighing again.

"I knew it was so!"

"Second Miss is so pitiful!"

"A generation of talented women ended up like this!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a question for the poor road, I don't know if to ask it?" The old Taoist priest who had been sitting in the corner without speaking opened his mouth, his half-white hair was scabbed, and he was tied in a black shiny wooden hairpin, and the Taoist robe on his body could no longer see the original color, holding a sword, his black face was red by the firelight.

"What kind of question, Daoist, you ask! Do we know? The crowd was silent for a long time before the scholar took the lead.

"Excuse me, how do you get to this uncle's mansion?" The old Taoist priest stood up and saluted, respectfully.

"Enter the city gate, go west, and walk half a stick of incense to arrive!" The scholar also stood up respectfully and returned the salute.

"So, thank you to this son!" The Taoist priest closed his head, turned around and went out of the door, regardless of the rain outside the door, it was still dripping.

"What a strange old Taoist!" The man who picked his feet finally finished buttoning up the mud, put his shoes back, walked to the door, looked at the sky, and then looked at the figure of the Taoist priest in the distance, stretching his waist, "This rain is a lot lighter, look at this day is getting late, I will also go!" ”

As he spoke, he also walked away in the mud, and the rest of the people also hesitated in the door for a while, looking at the sky, looking at the people who were far away, as if they had agreed, and rushed out, leaving only three people with cloaks, silently gathered around the campfire.

"Young Master," the man on the far right looked sideways at the person in the middle, waiting for his answer.

The person who was called the young master didn't speak, just picked up the stick next to him, and dispersed the fire that was still burning, and the people who were guarding on both sides immediately understood, got up, stepped on the fire, and then respectfully helped the young master to get up, and the three of them also disappeared in front of the road.
