Chapter 016: Taichen was tied up by the official
When it was dark, Zhenjing went out to fetch water and came back, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyi, I heard from them that the two 'flying heroes' and other guests have all come back from outside. But before his feet stepped on the threshold of the mountain gate, he was invited by Zhen Gong to go to Uncle Taichen's Fumian Courtyard. ”
He Angelica smiled, opened the oiled paper bag on the table, and greeted: "Girl, come here, the delicious food is here." ”
Zhenjing turned her head to look, and suddenly dropped a pair of eyeballs: "This ...... Where did it come from? ”
He Angelica blinked mysteriously, pulled Zhenjing over and pressed it on the stool, and said with a smile: "The same way with that pot of wine is all given by the 'God of Dreams', but it doesn't hurt to eat." As she spoke, she picked up a piece of dried meat and put it in her hand, "This is Fengyang's famous food 'Sesame Crispy Dried Meat', how about you taste it." I'm going to have to eat two more days of rice soup before I can eat meat, so you can enjoy it first, and don't forget to chew it slowly. ”
Zhenjing hurriedly stood up: "Then I'll go and cook rice soup for you first." He Angelica pressed her back back, rolled up his sleeves and said: "There are red fruits, brown sugar and wolfberries here, and watch me make a bowl of 'Three Red Beneficial Qi Tonic Soup', keep you sick and cured, and strengthen your body without illness!" ”
Zhen Jing grinned and said, "This is what Jianghu Lang likes to say the most. ”
After that, Zhenjing watched in amazement as He Angelica was very skillful in adding firewood to make a fire, and his movements were much sharper than his own. When the water was boiling, He Angelica turned the stove down, first melted the brown sugar into it slowly, and then poured in the hand-beaten rice milk...... As soon as the Sanhong soup was ready, when the house was full of fragrance, there was a sudden roar in the direction of Fumian Courtyard in the north.
He Angelica bent down to stir the soup spoon, hooked his lips, and it was done.
Zhenjing's small mouth was stuffed with pork jerky and beef jerky, and she said vaguely, "What's wrong with Fumian Temple?" It's noisy. ”
He Angelica filled two bowls of three red soups, and placed two snow-white spoons next to the bowls, smiling lightly: "Maybe someone is drunk and drunk, and this son is going crazy with alcohol." Regardless of them, how about tasting our soup. ”
Zhenjing grabbed a spoonful of the spoon, blew it a few times, put it in her mouth, and hummed: "Ha drink!" I've never drunk such a soup......"
He Angelica laughed at her: "Come on, be careful not to burn your mouth." "The show has just begun, so it's a pity not to take a look.
A tall and thin Dao Gu stumbled out of the Fumian Courtyard, paused for two steps, and then ran straight to the Kuqiao Courtyard where the Lord Taixi was watching. If you look closely, you can see that her robe and cloth shoes are stained with a lot of vegetable juice.
Zhen Wei recalled Master's words, "Quick, go and call the Lord to intercede for me!" Don't call that old ghost Taishan, she'll just fall into the well! So, Zhenwei quickened his pace, but when he arrived at Kuqiao Courtyard, he saw that the lights were brightly lit, and almost the Taoist aunts of the entire Taoist temple were there, and Taishan was also there.
Guan Zhu Taixi wore a dark black robe, his hair was tightly bunned, and his face was full of anxiety. When she saw Zhenwei coming in, she grabbed her in a panic and asked, "Say!" What's going on over there? Taishan also squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Yes, we were suddenly woken up, why don't you tell me what's going on?" ”
Zhenwei cried and said to Taixi: "Oh no, something is wrong, those guests ...... My master ran out of the house, and someone inside threw her with a wine glass, and Master suddenly she couldn't move...... Then the other person tied the master up with a rope......"
"Tied up?!" Taixi is too good to ask at the same time, and his heart is incredible.
Taixi didn't know the identity of the guests, Taishan knew that they were officials, but he didn't understand what they were doing with Taichen. Originally, Taishan thought in his heart that the commotion just now might be because Taichen's sister-in-law lost his temper during the banquet and annoyed the guests, so they "pulled out knives and cut the table" or something. But now, Taichen has been tied up by an official, and this matter can be big or small - is it Taichen's guilt alone, or the guilt of the entire Taoist temple?
Taishan's expression also panicked, but she took out her coffin book of more than two hundred taels of silver in the name of water business view to make usury! What if this Taoist temple is finished, and the borrower rolls up the money and runs away? Thinking of this, Taesun began to rack his brains to figure out a way. Keep the Taoist temple, keep the Taoist temple...... Pregnant! Taishan hurriedly instructed the little Taoist Gu Zhenming on the side: "You! Quick, go to the East Wing! Call Miss Ho over...... Hmm, please come here! Seeing Taixi's bewildered look, Taichen told her, "This Miss He somehow got very close to the guests, and they were very polite to her. ”
Tai Xi is like a life-saving straw, and he repeatedly recites "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable". She's a person who doesn't have ideas, and she's not good at words, especially when talking to men. So she begged Taishan, and after a while, everyone went over together, and asked Taishan to say anything that should be said. Taishan glanced at her with disdain, and responded.
Taishan asked Zhenwei to tell him about the cause and effect of the incident, but Zhenwei said with a bitter face that she was not waiting in the house at all, and she didn't know what was going on inside, but she saw the master suddenly run out and heard the master calling for help.
Taishan frowned, then you can only know what happened if you go and see. She turned her head to see that many sisters-in-law had picked up the guys in their hands - hoes, firewood knives, brooms, dusters, spoons and shovels...... There is everything, Taishan almost lost his anger and crooked his face, and took these broken things, do you want to fight with the official? hurriedly scolded them all and put them all down.
So, Taixi, Taishan and a group of sisters-in-law went to Fumian Courtyard in a grand manner. When they arrived, they saw two of the guests standing outside the door, as if waiting for them.
Taishan smiled all over his face, ran forward in small steps, and shouted flatteringly: "Everyone is well, everyone is angry!" I don't know where Taichen's crazy woman offended everyone? If you want to catch her, just catch herself, it has nothing to do with us! ”
The two didn't speak, only made a gesture to invite in, but when Taishan waited for everyone to enter the courtyard, the two quickly retreated into the courtyard, and then closed the door and locked it.
For a while, all the Dao aunts were shocked, crying, screaming, begging for mercy, and slamming the door......
※※※
Zhenming ran into the east chamber in a panic, only to see that everywhere was pitch black, and there was no light. There are more than 20 rooms in front of and behind the east wing, and I don't know which one Miss He lives in.
"Miss He, Miss He!" Maaki took two steps inside tremblingly.
She has a problem of night blindness, as long as she doesn't light the lamp at night, for her, she can't see her five fingers, "Miss He, Miss He, Miss He......"
After taking two more steps, Zhenming didn't dare to go inside, since that night when she went to steal the sacrifice and saw He Angelica sitting up from the coffin, she had a different kind of fear of He Angelica. Usually when she walks past the East Chamber, she has to go around it, let alone in the middle of the night. shouted a few more times into the air in the courtyard, but seeing that there was still no answer, Maaki hesitated and left.
A moment later, a light suddenly came on in one of the rooms in the east wing, and two slender shadows were reflected in the freshly pasted window paper.
"Xiaoyi, what did Zhenming come to you for? Why don't we ignore her? Zhenjing looked at He Angelica curiously, and always felt that she was like the "female champion" in the play, and her stomach was full of plans.
He Angelica raised the bowl with a smile and said, "Give me another bowl, and I may tell you." ”
Zhenming walked out of the east chamber, hesitated for a while, and ran towards the Fumian Courtyard where everyone was, and when she passed by the bamboo forest, a black shadow jumped out from it and pounced on her. Zhenming jumped, took a few steps back and fell on the side of the road, only to find that the black shadow was asking, and scolded angrily: "You are in a hurry to reincarnate!" ”
Huaiwen cried breathlessly, shook his head and said, "It's over, it's over, it's all over...... Our Taoist temple is finished! ”
Shocked and angry, Maaki asked, "What's wrong!" Are you crazy? ”
Huai Wen shook his head and cried: "Woo ah...... Those people said they were from the palace...... Jinyiwei! They found 'stolen goods', 'forbidden drugs' or something in the courtyard of Taichen, and I didn't hear the specifics, woo-ah-ah...... Anyway, the general meaning is that our water business concept has now become a nest for harboring stolen goods, and now the master and the master are all detained in the Fumian Courtyard...... The water business view is over! ”
Zhenming was so frightened that his lips trembled, and he asked again and again: "Jinyiwei, is that the kind of official who runs errands for the emperor?" Are they going to kill us all? Hide quickly, where are we safe? ”
Huai Wen sneered and said: "Just now, the senior sister did not enter the Fumian Courtyard, but pulled me behind everyone, but as soon as everyone entered, the gate of the courtyard was locked up...... Later, the two of us hid behind the rockery and eavesdropped, and the senior sister felt that the situation was not right, so she asked me to go to Miss He, saying that she could save the Taoist temple, woo...... The senior sister is still observing the situation behind the rockery, by the way, she also said that I should take Miss He to the medicine house, because she heard that those brocade guards were going to the medicine house to search for stolen goods. ”
Zhenming said with a bitter face: "I went to the East Chamber just now, it's eerie there, there is not even a light, no matter how I call it, there is no response, it's really scary......"
Huaiwen wiped away his tears and said, "What Senior Sister said must not be wrong, she asked us to find Miss He, saying that Miss He can save everyone, we must find Miss He!" Let's find it together! As he spoke, he ran to the east chamber, and Maaki hurried to catch up behind.
After only a few steps, the two saw He Angelica and Zhenjing pacing slowly and leisurely. Huai Wen hurriedly ran forward and said in surprise: "Miss He, I finally found you, it was Senior Sister who asked me to come to you and say that you can save our Taoist Temple!" ”
He Angelica nodded and said, "I was already asleep just now, but I heard a lot of noise in the north courtyard, so I came out to take a look, where did Master Zhenzhu say to look for me?" ”
"Go to the medicine house, you don't know, those guests in Fumian Courtyard just now suddenly ......" Huai Wen cried again when he mentioned this.
He Angelica took the lead in walking towards the medicine house, and said calmly: "Let's talk while walking." ”
So Zhenjing and Huaiwen followed, and Zhenming hesitated and stayed far behind. Zhenming's heart was a little apprehensive, I heard that the entire Taoist temple had been treating her harshly since He Angelica woke up, and she didn't give her food and drink for a few days, and all of them cursed her for dying early behind her back, blaming her for blocking people's money and making people suspicious. Is He Angelica really willing to save the Taoist Temple? And most importantly, does she have the ability to save the Taoist temple?
Along the way, Huai Wen cried and told the whole story, He Angelica walked slowly while bowing his head and pondering. After listening to this, Zhenjing felt worried in her heart, poked He Angelica, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, what can we do in the past?" Those people are Jinyiwei, it's their business to investigate the case, let's ......" As he was talking, several people had already seen the medicine house from a distance, the lights were lit inside, and the voice of a man was faintly heard.
He Angelica smiled at Zhenjing comfortingly, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm not a Taoist person, and the days I came here are short, no matter how much I am involved, it can't be on my head; Second, the investigation of cases by officials and commissions is based on evidence, and without evidence, they will never arrest people indiscriminately. You are all waiting for me in the jungle at the intersection, don't run around, I'll go in and ask about the case, and then probe their mouth. ”
Seeing that they went according to their words, He Angelica turned around and walked towards the medicine house, and when she arrived at the door, she knocked on the hidden door. The voice inside immediately stopped, and a big hand pulled the door open, only to see a tall figure standing in the doorway, almost blocking the entire door frame, and the backlight looked absolutely oppressive.
Gao Jue frowned and stared at the little man in front of him, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?" This is not where you come from, hurry up. ”
He Angelica paused and was about to speak, but saw the tall body of the man in front of him shake violently, suddenly flew sideways, and hit the wall on the left - then Duan Xiaolou appeared by the door, made a gesture of inviting in, and said: "The frost and dew are big at night, and your body is weak, come and warm up inside." Immediately afterwards, I heard Liao Zhiyuan's voice laughing inside, "Miss He, it's warm and warm inside, I haven't seen it for half a day, like a ...... every other autumn and a half."
He Angelica had a burst of amusement in his heart, he had always heard that Jinyiwei was synonymous with ruthlessness and ruthlessness, why did Duan Liao and the others have such alternative words and deeds, which are very different from some Jinyiwei they have seen before. But she didn't shirk at the moment, and walked into the medicine store, only to see that it was a mess as if it had just been robbed, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, what's the situation?
