Chapter 12 From Beijing to Peking (2)
"You mean......" Ye Kenan gasped, "the youngest son of the royal feng shui master Mr. Li?" ”
"It's him."
"No wonder, the first time I saw this person, there was an aura of slaughter."
"Inspector Ye, the year when Yuan Shikai became emperor, and when Zhang Xun was restored, Qin Beiyang was attacked twice by the assassins of Taibai Mountain, and you rescued him in time, it's not a coincidence."
It was Li Longsheng who spoke, and unconsciously, he was already standing behind Ye Kenan and Qin Beiyang.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ye Kenan didn't deny it easily, so Qin Beiyang felt surprised, he had also thought about this issue for a long time, how could there be such a coincidence? But in the past, Ye Kenan did not answer positively.
Li Longsheng smiled slightly: "Inspector Ye, those small notes you received were all sent to you by someone I entrusted to you. ”
"You ......" Ye Kenan stretched his eyebrows, "It turned out to be you!" ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, although I grew up in Taibai Mountain and was in the assassins' array, but I know Ah Hai too well, I'm afraid that something will happen to you in Beiyang, so I still reported to Inspector Ye."
Qin Beiyang's eyes also widened: "In this way, it was you and Inspector Ye who saved my life together." ”
Li Longsheng nodded and said, "Until the third time, I didn't inform Inspector Ye that Congressman Qu Jinghe was assassinated, and you tracked Ah Hai and Tuhuan to the War Department in Iron Lion Alley." It was I who took you away from the coma with my own hands, took the train overnight and then changed to Taibai Mountain immediately. Because I was instructed by Meng Po to let you survive, and there must be no harm in the slightest. ”
"I can't believe that you still have so many secrets."
The little county king interrupted their reminiscences, went straight to the point, and said that the main point of this visit Ah Hai destroyed Taibai Mountain, got the coffin and body of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, and kidnapped Xiao Mu, the leader of Luoyang Tomb Robbery Village, the next target of action is very likely to be the Qing Dynasty Dongling.
"Tanglin?" Ye Kenan pretended not to be in a hurry, but in fact, his heart was already fluctuating, "Now the situation is turbulent, Tanglin is between Beijing and Shanhaiguan, a military stronghold at the foot of the Great Wall, and a hard-hit area of war. For tomb robbers, it's a good time to get started. ”
"Yes, Inspector Ye, but just a few of us may not be able to stop Ah Hai. Moreover, I heard that in Zunhua County, where Tanglin is located, there are now tens of thousands of warlords stationed in the army, which originally belonged to Sun Dianying's division under the command of the Zhilu Coalition Army, and has been incorporated into the Twelfth Army by the National Revolutionary Army. ”
"I understand, you have to stop Ah Hai and the warlords from robbing the tomb and protect the Qing Dynasty imperial tomb. The merits and failures of the Qing Dynasty are left to historians to comment, but this Qing Dynasty imperial mausoleum is absolutely untouchable! ”
"But I don't think Ah Hai will do it lightly." Anna began to analyze, "Inspector Ye, think about it, if someone really wants to do it, what preparations will they have?" ”
Ye Kenan paced in the courtyard, touched Jiuse's head again, and said, "I think of someone, maybe he can help us!" ”
On the north edge of Houhai, the rippling water surface is full of lotus flowers, and there is the illusion of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Along the way, there are the residences of princes and nobles, the most prominent of which is the regent palace of the year, and it is also the birthplace of the last emperor Puyi.
Li Longsheng recognized this mansion door, but stopped in front of the threshold: "I'm sorry, Inspector Ye, I can't go in." ”
"Because of the old things of twenty years ago?"
"In order to arrest me, the regent Zaifeng sent troops to attack Taibai Mountain, causing a series of bloody storms. I'm afraid that after seeing Zaifeng, I can't help but assassinate him on the spot. Li Longsheng touched the dagger on his waist and said, "When I grew up, I visited the Regent's Mansion countless times, and I knew that it was heavily guarded, and several assassinations failed. I'm afraid that if I go in today, I'll fall into the net. ”
"It's okay, you can wait outside the palace." Ye Kenan just took a few steps and turned back, "If it weren't for the regent's secret order, I wouldn't have been able to find Beiyang in Tianjin." Zaifeng is not a wicked person, but he is his own master, and he advises you to smile and enmity. ”
"Laughing at the grudge?" Li Longsheng took half a step back, "It's not easy to talk about!" ”
Ye Kenan, Xiaojun Wang, Qin Beiyang, and Ouyang Anna entered the Regent's Mansion with Nine Colors, and sure enough, they were searched in the first foyer and handed over all their weapons. Even a woman like Anna was searched by the healthy women of the palace.
Finally, Ye Kenan led everyone to meet the regent in the West Flower Hall. Zaifeng is forty-five years old, still wearing braids, a robe and a horse coat, and teasing the thrush in the birdcage.
"Yo, my Detective, what wind brought you here?"
The regent was quite polite to Ye Kenan, and ordered someone to serve the guests Tieguanyin tea, candied fruit from the capital, and Western sweets and chocolates.
The regent put aside the others, but only noticed the nine colors, admiring the beauty of this Tibetan mastiff. He also had the audacity to approach Jiu Se and stroke the red mane of the town's tomb beast, Qin Beiyang was really worried that Jiu Se would bite off the head regent's head.
The little county king is the Mongolian princes who have received the emperor's grace, and they will come to visit the filial piety regent every New Year's holiday. The regent frowned and said, "Little county king, what year is it?" Still doing this? He died early in the morning, and the emperor was driven from the Forbidden City to the Tianjin Concession. And you are a celebrity of the Republic of China, and you are tormented by my old age. ”
The "emperor" in the mouth of the regent is his son Aixinjue Luo Puyi.
Timur got up and said, "Lord Wang, this time I came to visit with Inspector Ye to inquire about something. ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Ye Kenan grabbed Qin Beiyang's hand and said, "Okay, Lord Wang, I'll bring a little friend to meet you first." ”
Qin Beiyang thought to himself that I am twenty-eight years old, my temples are white, what kind of child, maybe in Ye Kenan's heart, he will always be the nine-year-old Qiu Xiaogeng in the Tianjin German Concession.
"This young man is ......"
The regent is well-informed, and when he sees Qin Beiyang's burly figure, bright eyes, and long-haired shawl spirit, he is either a murderous Jiangyang thief, or a heroic man who walks in all directions.
"Lord Wang, do you remember? Twenty years ago, you sent me a letter to find the lost young son of a royal craftsman. ”
"This ......" Zaifeng drank gaiwan tea and looked at the floor tiles of the West Flower Hall, "That's right!" Come to think of it! The old craftsman kowtowed to this place, and his head smashed all the bricks on my floor. I also came to Taibai Mountain that day...... Oops...... Don't talk about it......"
"I am the son of Qin Customs."
Qin Beiyang was straightforward, facing the regent without any etiquette. If Zaifeng didn't mention that Lao Qin kowtowed and smashed the floor tiles, maybe Qin Beiyang would bow on his father's face. Since this matter was mentioned, it made Qin Beiyang straighten his spine and look directly at the imperial dictator twenty years ago.
The atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, and the little county king pulled Qin Beiyang and said: "Lord Wang, this friend of mine has been wandering outside for many years, and he doesn't know the rules and etiquette of the capital, please bear with me." ”
The regent sat back on the prince's chair: "It's okay! Seeing the child I rescued in my own letter, and now that he has grown so old, I am naturally too late to be happy, this is a good thing to accumulate yin virtue. ”
Qin Beiyang was about to say that if it weren't for your secret order, my adoptive parents would not have died tragically, but Ye Kenan was present and didn't say anything.
"Lord Wang, let's get down to business. Back then, you wanted me to be a tomb beast for the construction of the Chongling Tomb of Dezong. Now we come to you again, but for Tanglin. ”
