Chapter 199: Climbing the Wall
A lantern was lit in front of Heyaju, and the light was dim and uncertain.
Xiao Song stood on the porch, a little hesitant, and Yaju was bigger than he imagined, there were three or four places in the main room that could be used as a bedroom, he couldn't find them one by one, right? No small number of words
Squeak.
Xiao Song was shocked in his heart, and before he had time to dodge, he saw Ran Yan wearing a light blue satin shirt, covered with a black raccoon dog hair, walking out of the side room, standing under the lantern, the black raccoon dog hair reflected a white plain face in the dim light, a little more ethereal beauty under the dim light.
"Xiao Shilang is here?" Ran Yan clasped his hands and stared at him for a long time.
Xiao Song felt a little embarrassed for the first time in his life, but quickly returned to normal, "You and I will come." ”
"If there is one, there will be two." Ran Yan said lightly.
For Xiao Song's trespass into her bedroom, Ran Yan is not a grudge, after all, he did not do anything unfavorable to her, but there is always a feeling that she can be spied on at any time, this feeling is not liked by Ran Yan, and it is also the reason why she is angry.
"I came here late at night just to talk to you." Xiao Song was three or four feet away from Ran Yan, and the wicked man complained first, "You said that you would give me half a year, I was afraid that if I approached you during the day, someone would be unfavorable to you, but I didn't want to waste half a year's time, so I could only come at night." ”
"Xiao Langjun regards etiquette as nothing, and it is free and easy to say it, but where do you put me?" Ran asked expressionlessly.
Xiao Song's already three-dimensional facial features became deeper and deeper in the uncertain dim light, and he pursed his thin lips slightly, staring at her quietly. The snow fluttering outside the corridor, and the Accord is a concave building, and there is no wind in the courtyard, and the snow falls slowly, as if it has eased.
"I'm sorry." For a long time, from Xiao Song's thin lips, these two words were scattered with the low and dumb drift of the fog flower.
Ran Yan sighed, she Xiao Song had no malicious intentions, but even in the future generations, this kind of behavior would be a private invasion of a private house, but it was good to be able to recognize it.
She slowly walked up to Xiao Song and handed him the male yellow stone in her hand.
Male yellow stone can generate heat, covering it in your hand is like holding a hot water bottle, and the heat flow is continuous.
The warm heat flowed from the palm to the limbs, and the corners of Xiao Song's lips unconsciously raised, "It turns out that Seventeen Niang still cares about me." ”
Ran Yan snorted lightly, ignored him, and sat down under the porch.
Xiao Song's heart was sweet, Ran Yan guessed that he would come, so he didn't rest, but waited in the side room to catch the appearance, although he reprimanded his behavior, he gave Xiong Huangshi a hand with concern. And there are no maids around, with Ran Yan's medical skills, he may have given them drugs such as sleeping, which can be regarded as his reputation.
Xiao Song sat down beside her, watched the snow on the ground getting thicker and thicker, and said with a smile, "The first snow this winter is so big, I happened to watch the snow with Seventeen Niang when I arrived, is it fate?" ”
Ran Yan glanced at her obliquely, and said lightly, "If I were you, I would think about this night first, and I won't take in men who come from the wrong way here." ”
"I'm a dignified servant of the Criminal Department, where did I come from the wrong way?" Xiao Song frowned.
Ran Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?" Is it the right way to climb over the wall? ”
Xiao Song's laughter was pressed in his throat, and he had another advantage, he thought that this cold appearance would have no sense of humor, but he didn't want to, it was actually quite interesting.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I was a child, I took the lead in a group of gentlemen, and there are more than 100 squares in Chang'an, which wall has not been climbed by us?" Referring to the absurd behavior of the year, Xiao Song's tone sighed slightly, it has only been seven or eight years, but it seems to be a lifetime away from his indulgent era.
Ran Yan also had two smiles on his face, "I think in addition to the name of 'Chang'an Ghost Seeing Sorrow', you can also be called 'Wall Climbing Langjun' in the future." ”
The name of Chang'an ghost is not only after Xiao Song became an official, at the beginning, he was the leader of a group of gentlemen, fighting cocks, lackeys, walking horses and fighting, and the birds and beasts scattered everywhere he passed, so he already had this name faintly, and later brought Song Guogong back to his own family for two years, a little more honest, and gradually no one called.
Since becoming a waiter in the Criminal Department, this boyhood nickname has been turned out again by people with a heart and carried forward.
"Although I have climbed over a lot of walls, this is the first time I have climbed over the wall for a lady." Xiao Song was afraid that Ran Yan would misunderstand, so he explained.
"Thank you." Ran Yan said suddenly.
Xiao Song was stunned for a moment before reacting, "You mean Ran Shilang's matter?" ”
Ran Yan nodded. Because of this, she is really grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.
"It's just a gesture." Xiao Song clenched the sulfur stone in his hand and said warmly, "Don't be impulsive, Ah Yan, how much weight can my shoulders carry, I know very well in my heart, at least ...... It will allow you to stop experiencing dreams like that. ”
Ran Yan was stunned for a moment, don't look over her head at the whitening snow, her eyes tingling slightly.
In the boundless sky, the white snow curtain became larger and larger, not because of the reflection of the snow, but because the eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and I felt that the night was much brighter than before.
"Next time, don't climb over the wall to enter the house, just come to me during the day." Ran Yan quickly calmed down his emotions, turned his head and smiled at him, "I am also very self-aware of how much weight I can bear on my shoulders, at least, I said that if I give each other half a year, I will be able to hold up this promise." Those who want to be unfavorable to me may not be able to help me, and the worst result is just a life. ”
Xiao Song looked at Ran Yan like this, and only felt that she was so dazzling in the dark, and she put life and death out of the way, even he couldn't do it.
Just after thinking about it, I saw Ran Yan spitting mist flowers and said slowly. "But if I do die, you have only one choice."
Xiao Song said with interest, "Which one?" ”
"You are a dignified servant of the Criminal Department, let me be killed by others under the precautionary situation, and still have the face to live in the world? Even if you take revenge, it won't erase your failures. Ran Yan paused, looked at him and continued, "If you are really in love, you might as well be martyred." ”
Xiao Song stared at Ran Yan's eyes, a smile in her eyes, this was just a joke she said, but he deliberately took it seriously, "If you die, I can do what you say, but what if it's safe?" ”
If it is peaceful, can it be cultivated to a positive result, and a lover will eventually become a family?
Ran Yan was stunned, he thought it was a black man, but he was generalized, and his confidence was a little weak, "There is no fairness in this matter." ”
Xiao Song lowered his head and laughed sullenly. If you talk about giving people a set, except for Fang Xuanling's old fox and the current saint, he really hasn't suffered in anyone's hands.
"Have you laughed enough" Ran Yan was annoyed and smacked at him.
Xiao Song hurriedly reassured, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, I won't laugh anymore." ”
Ran Yan glared at him hatefully, "If you don't laugh, let's leave quickly."
"Hmm." Xiao Song got up in response, bent down and stuffed the sulfur stone in her hand, and held a handful of soft wattles in his hand, his movements were very smooth, and he was not suspected of deliberately touching other people's hands, but he was a thief, coughed dryly to cover up, and said, "You go into the house." ”
Ran Yanhu glanced at him suspiciously, and he didn't want to push back and forth to say goodbye, so he bowed slightly, got up and entered the house.
Xiao Song looked at the closed door and stood still for a while, before he disappeared into the snowy night.
Early the next morning, the dawn drum sounded on time at five or two o'clock. The drums began to be beaten one after another.
The night is still hazy, and there are already many sedan chairs on Suzaku Street heading to the palace gate. After the sound of three thousand drums, the military officials were already waiting in front of the palace to go to court.
Suddenly, only to hear the sound of the bell, the bell rang, and the officials lined up in a line and marched in shifts.
The palace is a splendid scene, the hollow gold lacquer throne is set on the three-story step platform, several dragon lacquer gold pillars are around, and the four corners of the palace stand burly guards and armorers.
The bead curtain on the left side sounded slightly, and the four young maids opened the way in front of them, opened the curtain, and Li Shimin strode into the hall, and after sitting down on the throne, he was bowed by the military officials according to the procedure.
Li Shimin gently held his hand and signaled, the ministers spread out in a neat and orderly manner, held the wat with both hands, and returned to kneel in front of the table.
When everyone returned to sit in front of the table, a temple man stepped forward and shouted according to the custom: If there is something to do, there is no book to retreat
"Minister, the subordinate serves Wei Zheng, and there is something to do." One man got up from the left seat and stood in the center of the main hall, he looked to be about forty years old, with thin cheeks, a straight nose, a beautiful beard under his jaw, and a kind face.
Wei Zheng does not often speak in the court, although he likes to speak out, but he will never upset the saint for a trivial matter. Therefore, as soon as he came out of the ranks, although the Manchu Dynasty and Wu all sat quietly with their eyes and noses and noses, they all pricked up their ears one by one.
"What?" Li Shimin straightened his body and responded with energy.
"The ministers impeached Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xiao Song, the waiter of the Criminal Department, for dereliction of duty and punishment." Wei Zheng's words were loud.
Li Shimin paused, it was definitely not a trivial matter as soon as Wei Zheng opened his mouth, but he was still slightly surprised by the impeachment of the top and second leaders of the Criminal Department at once.
"Tell me more." Li Shimin leaned back in the back seat, and his tone didn't seem to care.
Wei Zhengdao, "Chang'an in March in the east of the city of a major interception and murder case, the criminal department is now ignoring it, in August, the criminal department waiter Xiao Song actually invited himself to Jiangnan Province to assist in the investigation of the case, the criminal department secretary Zhang Liang strongly supported, but did not explain the matter to His Majesty, the criminal department handled the case regardless of priority, regardless of priority, regardless of priority, a major case dragged to this day, as the criminal department secretary and the criminal department waiter, it is difficult to escape the blame. ”
Since March, it has been more than eight months, and for nearly a year, Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at Zhang Liang and Xiao Song, his voice was loud and majestic, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, got up from the seat without hurry, and walked to the hall to stand side by side with Wei Zheng. And Xiao Song also got up, took a step behind, and stood firmly in the hall.
Zhang Liang held the wat with both hands, bowed slightly, and said, "Qiqi Sheng, there is no such thing. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent.
Yes By].
