Chapter 340: Grace gradually fades Chen Ying's frustration, and the overall situation of the snowy night has been decided
Dragging his legs like Guan Feng across the courtyard gate in front of the tent, Chen Lan didn't even notice the gradual snow falling in the air, only saw a figure next to the Mingwa lamp in the courtyard, and couldn't help but glance at Eunuch Fang on the side. Sure enough, Eunuch Fang was stunned for a moment and immediately rushed forward as if he was trotting, and when he was still a few steps behind him, he saluted deeply, and his head was almost touching the ground.
"Master, what are you doing on this cold day......?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a gust of wind around him, raised his head and looked, only to find that the emperor had gone straight by his side. He didn't straighten up, and he continued to bend like this, and he hesitated for a moment before he stood up straight. When he turned his head again, he saw that Chen Lan was already giving a salute with the support of the two maidservants, and the emperor happened to have his back to him, and he couldn't see what was going on, so he had to hurriedly walk a few steps and follow.
"It's hard for you.........
The emperor already knew everything about the situation outside, even if he hadn't seen it in person, but just looking at Changdi's hands that were still trembling now, he knew how amazing that kind of blood-spattered situation would be. Seeing Chen Lan hanging his head and his face was terrifyingly pale, he couldn't help but regret that he had made such a decision so easily in order to be able to do things in the future.
Therefore, after four words, he was silent, and sighed for a long time: "If the ninth sister knew that you, a person who was still in peace, took such a risk, I would have to suffer another beating, and Fu Niang would inevitably blame me, not to mention your uncle...... Now that the overall situation should be decided, you can go back to your room, and you don't need to stay with me here. ”
As soon as the words fell, a guard's low voice came from outside: "Seventh Master, Mrs. Yang has asked someone to inform you again, saying that the person is in the second gate, if she is allowed, she will come out immediately." ”
When the emperor heard this, he turned around and made a gesture to the other eunuch, and when he saw that his heart was going to run out, he turned around again, and saw Chen Lan instead of bowing his head and lowering his hand in front of him before, but looking straight at him" There was a stubbornness in his eyes that he rarely saw, and he suddenly sighed again: "Also, you probably can't let go of Shuquan in your heart." Choosing a day and choosing a day to choose today, it is not mine. I can't give you any guarantees, but Shuquan's road has already been laid out in ambush, as long as he is as invincible on the battlefield as before, he will never be fine. ”
Chen Lan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he immediately bent his knees slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Xie Zhen what "... I came to see you but brought so much trouble, it would be nice if you didn't complain about me in your heart! "Seeing that Chen Lan was rarely not as quick as before, he didn't immediately bring the topic over, but didn't answer the conversation at all" The emperor didn't feel much annoyed, and instinctively stretched out his hand to comb her sideburns, but that hand finally fell weakly, "Only after tonight, the dust should be settled............ If you don't want to go back, go with me to the tent and wait. ”
"Yes."
As the emperor entered the tent and sat down and drank a cup of hot tea, Chen Lan felt that his heart, which was so cold that it was almost stiff, gradually warmed up. Although there was still the emperor in the room, "Hongying and Changdi were still around, but they were a little quiet, even so, she didn't have the slightest urge to open her mouth to break the silence, until the voice of Eunuch Fang came from outside, "Then I saw my mother-in-law Jiang enter the door, and she stood up."
The emperor undoubtedly waved his hand to stop the Jiang family from making a big salute, and ordered to give a seat, but looking at this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the vague apology in his heart immediately deepened by three points. He praised Yang Jin for a while, but in the face of the respectful two, "He couldn't say it anymore after all." If it were someone else, he would be able to make up for all the busy frightens tonight, but he couldn't open his mouth to Chen Lan at this time. Fortunately, just as the atmosphere was getting stiffer and stiffer, there was a sudden shouting outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty.........
Eunuch Fang rushed straight into the door, and before he had time to salute, he happily shouted: "Luo Shizi is here, Luo Shizi is here with a number of soldiers, and Qin Hu has already climbed over the wall to the opposite side, confirming that those torches are just tied there, and the black shadows on the wall are only a few clothes." Also, Yang Ninghou is also here! ”
When Chen Lan saw Eunuch Fang's happy appearance, he thought that Yang Jinzhou was back, but when he heard that it was Luo Xu and Chen Ying at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Therefore, when the Jiang family got up and said that she wanted to avoid it with her, she immediately followed the trend and stood up, but was stopped by the emperor's gesture.
"You're not outsiders, so go to the inner room."
There are two rooms inside and outside the tent, the outside will meet guests, and the inside is all kinds of account books, and the table in the center is full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the most central is the big abacus. The expenses of other inner courtyards are all allocated by the outer courtyard, but in Jingyuan, Chen Lan is in charge of all the money exchanges, so she is no stranger to this place. It's just that when she entered the house, she was still a little distracted, until she felt someone grabbing her hands, and she was shocked.
"This house is the only one in the front yard that has access to the dragon...... Why are your hands still so cold? Jiang Shi looked at Chen Lan's haggard and pale face, and only felt indescribably distressed, "I said earlier that it was better for me to come to the front, but you are stubborn" ......, alas, but if this is the case, I don't have your cleverness, and I definitely can't imagine that the emperor is here. I just heard that it was very thrilling, can you still survive it now? If you can't stand it, just crook it first, don't stiffen it.........
"Good......,......
Before Jiang finished speaking, he suddenly saw Chen Lan's body tremble, and then he stepped forward and hugged her neck, and even sobbed uncontrollably. Since her daughter-in-law entered the door, she has seen her weightlifting indifferently, her light eyes and a smiling cunning elf, her resoluteness and unprocrastinating, and her touching admiration when she reveals her true feelings...... However, such a daughter-in-law is lying on her shoulder in a gaffe at this moment, as if it is all it takes all her strength to stop the urge to cry out loud.
"You kid ......" At this moment, Jiang first patted Chen Lan's back unnaturally, and gradually his stiff movements became softer, and he muttered kindly, "If you want to cry, cry out, don't hold back everything at a young age, other people's families always talk about those manners, let's ignore that." Is it because I was scared of what happened just now, or because I was thinking about my brother? If it's just now, it's all in the past, so forget about it. If it's because of the whole brother...... He, "Blessed and fateful, he will definitely come back to see us in a while...... "......"
The words of the master of Longquan Nunnery just now had a huge impact on Chen Lan, and her madness of seeking death by herself brought indelible bloody memories to this impact, so in Jiang's babbling words, Chen Lan sobbed even louder, not caring at all who came in outside, and what was going on at this time. Until she vaguely realized that the tears wet Jiang's shoulders. Only then did she move away embarrassedly, but then she rubbed her cheek with one hand and gently wiped the tear stain.
"Look" cryed so that his eyes were red and swollen, and he was still blocked at this time and couldn't get out, there was no water to wash your face, and he couldn't press it down! ”
Jiang said this, seeing that Chen Lan was blushing and was about to wipe his eyes with a handkerchief, he hurriedly stopped her: "You, the more you wipe your eyes, the redder it becomes, so just do it first, go back and wash it with a basin of water, and apply it with a cool towel at night, otherwise you will get up tomorrow" This eye will be swollen............" She was about to say more, when she suddenly heard the outside world seem to talk about something outside, she immediately paused.
“…… Because he saw that the people of the Beicheng Terracotta Division blocked the road, the minister first sent people to Shuntianfu to inquire for the sake of safety, "Only then did he learn that it was the soldiers and horses of the Beicheng Terracotta Division who blocked the place along the west bank of Shichahai along the Origin Fang and Rizhong Fang on the grounds of searching for important criminals in the Criminal Department. Knowing that there were abnormal people at the North Bridge, the minister transferred some people to the main courtyard of Yixing County, and then in order to prevent the grass from startling the snake, he came from the diagonal street on the east bank of Shichahai, but he did not encounter thieves near the Jin Wangfu, and after a fight, he cleared them all, and then took the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division Soldiers and Horses Commander Zhao Deming at Desheng Bridge.
After this person was arrested, he tried to cut himself, but fortunately he did not succeed.
The minister rushed to the Huanyi Bureau Hutong and "met Xiao Shizi and his subordinates, and then found a large number of unknown people who were shot by bows and arrows near the three good tongs on the west bank", and then searched the entire Faxiangfang and Rizhong Fang, and did not see the emperor, so he decided to come to the Mirror Garden, and met Luo Shizi at the door. ”
Chen Lan finally recognized Chen Ying's voice, however, after listening to this tirade and still not seeing Yang Jinzhou's whereabouts, she couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart, and finally couldn't help but hold Jiang's hand tightly. As soon as Chen Ying's words were finished, Luo Xu followed closely. , but it is much more concise than Chen Ying's words.
"Your Majesty, the fire in the back street of Jinyiwei has been controlled, fortunately, most of the gunpowder has been quietly transferred through a shop before, and it has not caused a major disaster, and my father Wei Guogong has been ordered to lead the troops to take over the defense of the red shop in the outer imperial city."
Luo Xu also didn't mention Yang Jinzhou's whereabouts, Chen Lan bit his lip unconsciously, his heart was full of lingering thoughts, and he didn't even hear what the emperor said to the two of them. It wasn't until the sound outside suddenly became chaotic that she felt Jiang patting her back again, and then she woke up again.
"It's back, it's back!"
Hearing Jiang's words clearly, Chen Lan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then an arrow stepped to the edge of the door, instinctively stretching out a crack. Looking out of the gap, she saw that Luo Xu was already standing on the side, but Chen Ying was kneeling on the ground to explain something, but Yang Jinzhou was still nowhere to be seen, she couldn't help but turn around and look at the Jiang family behind her suspiciously.
"You, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...... Just enter the gate, which is so fast! ”
was teased softly by his mother-in-law, Chen Lan turned his head and looked out through the curtain of the door, and found that Chen Ying was full of panic. After being slightly stunned, she immediately lowered the curtain and stood back, but those words still inevitably entered her ears. It wasn't until there was a shrill transmission from outside the door that she hurriedly approached the door again. Seeing the familiar figure with a lot of snow on the cloak, she felt that all her strength was drained at once, and her body shook and leaned softly on her mother-in-law.
The capital in Layue is cold and howling during the day, and it is even more cold at night, so Yang Jinzhou came in from the door, and before he had time to bow down, he first sneezed several times in a row. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly looked solemn, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ming, the Korean public who came in before him, rushed forward to explain.
"On this cold day, Uncle Quan just rolled around in Shichahai, please forgive him for his crime of dereliction."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood, and the emperor waved his hand to signal that the two of them did not need to make a big salute, and instructed the eunuch Fang on the side: "Go to the kitchen to see if there are still people, and send a few bowls of hot ginger soup as soon as possible." Not only Shuquan, but also everyone else has been busy for most of the night, and it is good to warm up with a bowl. By the way, why is Xiao Lang still missing? ”
Eunuch Fang immediately went out and didn't mention it. And speaking of Xiao Lang, the prince of Zhendong Hou, Yang Jinzhou explained: "On the way back to the emperor, the minister and the Han Duke came to meet people from the Zhendong Hou Mansion. It is said that Hou Shizi of Zhendong encountered two groups of people, and the second group almost killed the first group of people without saying anything, "Fortunately, he is well arranged, and he should continue to pursue at this time, saying that he wants to eliminate the evil." It's just that they also detained a person, saying that he was the leader of the group of thieves in the Huanyi Bureau, wearing a black cloth hood and being escorted outside, can the emperor see it? ”
Han Gong Zhang Ming's heart moved when he heard this, but he looked at the emperor's face, "After all, he still didn't intervene rashly." Sure enough, the emperor frowned and immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't have time to pay attention to such chaotic ministers and thieves now. It's you" You first talk about the situation on the west bank of Shichahai at that time, if Feng misses, please ask the Korean public to fill in the gap. ”
Such a differential treatment, but South Korean Gong Zhang Ming did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, and immediately bowed respectfully. At the moment, Yang Jinzhou will meet the enemy in 1510, how to engage the enemy and fight, how the Korean public will preset the ambush to attack from the shore, and how to cover up and kill "how many people are killed and wounded by the communist enemy...... All these things came one by one, and at the end he looked at Zhang Ming. At this time, Zhang Mingcai said: "Your Majesty, it's almost as Yang Shuquan said. But at that time, it was the minister who was responsible for leading people to clean up the mess, and Uncle Yang led people to chase after him, "So the minister didn't agree and asked some more things from the prisoner's mouth." Say yes...... It is said that the head of the thief is a nun, and I have heard people call him the owner of the nunnery. ”
Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly remembered that when Eunuch Fang reported the situation in the outer courtyard just now, he had mentioned that the person who had held Chen Lan hostage was a nun, and immediately turned his head, and then remembered that Eunuch Fang had been sent out by himself. I wanted to call Chen Lan out of the inner room, but thinking about the room full of people now, she was just a good fright, so he had to endure it for the time being" and asked Zhang Ming: "In addition to this, did you also confess others?" ”
Slanted a glance at Chen Ying and Luo Xu on the side, "Zhang Ming couldn't help but show a little hesitation. Seeing this, the emperor said lightly: "Chen Ying, you immediately straighten out the soldiers and horses, put the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division and the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division together, and then go to Jiangmi Lane to meet with the Weiguo Guild, transfer him over, and let him go directly to Bei'anmen to ask for a meeting." ”
The questioning at first sight had already frightened Chen Ying, so although the fact that he was the only one to support him at this time made him even more uneasy, Hugh said that there were still many elites in the Beijing camp outside, and he had no other room at the moment, so he had to hang his head at the moment. When he came out of the room, he suddenly glanced back at the closed door, clenched his fists sharply, and hurried out. When he reached the outermost courtyard, and saw that the horses were ready, he suddenly noticed a man who was being held tightly by two sergeants on one side.
The man wore a black cloth cover on his head, his head and face were tightly covered, and there was something stuffed in his mouth, and although he was struggling desperately, his voice was indistinguishable. Only under the exact same outfit as the other black-clad thieves tonight, he found that he was wearing a pair of black leather boots. This discovery shocked his brain, and he couldn't help but look up and down again. At this look, his original doubts suddenly turned into shock, and in the end, he didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly got on his horse and walked out of the West Corner Gate.
It wasn't until he galloped out of the alley to meet his subordinates that he felt a little more at ease, but the pair of black leather boots were still dangling in front of him. After walking for a while, he suddenly reined in his horse, ignoring the snow that had been drilled into his head, and suddenly remembered where he had seen those shoes, and his face turned pale for a moment.
It was not the leather boots worn by civil and military officials on weekdays, but the style of royal nobles! Moreover, there is a special golden huā pattern on the top, which is clearly the king of Huai...... If his guess is correct, that one will be completely defeated this time. But it doesn't matter if that idiot is planted, if even he is involved in it, won't his decades of struggle be in vain?
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye?"
The call from behind suddenly woke Chen Ying from the anger of gritting his teeth, he pretended to look behind him casually, and then said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little look at your ......"
"Don't be wordy if it's okay!"
Chen Ying was very annoyed, and shouted angrily, seeing that the captain hurriedly retreated and didn't make a sound, he grabbed the reins, inhaled and exhaled deeply, tried his best to adjust his breathing, and opened his eyes for a long time. So far, "I can only take one step at a time, but fortunately, although he is moving slower in front of him, after all, every move is justified, and I just hope that it will not give people a chance to take advantage of it...... knew that Chen Lan could win the emperor's eyes like this, "He should have tried his best to pull people over, instead of letting her completely take refuge in the old lady!"
…………………………
Only the emperor and Yang Jin, Zhou Luoxu, and Zhang Ming were left in the outer room of the Mirror Garden's tent at this time, but in the inner room separated by a wall, although Chen Lan no longer put his eyes in the gap to look out, his ears were erect high. However, after hearing the conversation between Zhang Ming and the emperor clearly, she only felt her heart skip a beat.
"Your Majesty, the first person is taking the initiative to tell the truth", but he was caught off guard, but among the dead corpses, someone burst into a surprise attack. The subordinates thought that he was trying to hold me hostage, so they had to relax a little. The minister was ashamed, so he ordered his subordinates to search hard, and finally found seven more people, because they didn't dare to interrogate them privately, so they brought them back. It's just that the minister implored the emperor to detain and interrogate the man in black who Xiao Shizi had handed over to the minister and Yang Shuquan to bring back. ”
Zhang Ming's personality is naturally clear to the emperor, however, "at this time, this vague language made him a little unhappy: "Although the Korean public has something to say, don't hide it, there are no outsiders here." ”
Squinting at Yang Jinzhou, who was a little surprised, Zhang Ming knew that most of this person didn't notice the clues. He could have pretended not to know, but when he thought that in addition to his henchmen who were guarding outside, after all, there were many servants in the Mirror Garden, and if it didn't end well, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Your Majesty, the person that Xiao Shizi handed over to the minister and Yang Shuquan is suspected of ...... Suspected of being the Fifth Highness. ”
As soon as these words came out, "The emperor's complexion only changed slightly, but Luo Xu and Yang Jinzhou were surprised, and the eyes of the two naturally touched together" and then showed a subtle expression at the same time. Luo Xu is mouth twitched, and secretly sighed that this King Huai dared to go out in person even to conspire against such a thing, "I'm really impatient." Yang Jinzhou lowered his eyes and hid the trace of disdain in his eyes, you must know that even his father was expelled from his grandfather back then, even if he was full of resentment, he never took any revenge on his family, King Huai, as a prince and a son of man, is so disloyal and unfilial, despicable and shameless These four words to describe this person are light!
The emperor was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "I knew that the rebel was out of the palace, but I didn't expect him to dare to come forward in person. I only have the courage to do this time in my life, but it's a pity to use the wrong place! In this way, you can isolate all the people around you from your henchmen, and when you see it, you will return to the palace with the rest of my guards. You go out and make arrangements and don't let anyone other than your henchmen come into contact with you. I can trust you, but I can't trust anyone else. ”
This naked reminder made Zhang Ming's heart tighten, and he hurriedly responded and went out. As soon as he walked on his front foot, the emperor turned his head and said to the low-hanging inner door curtain: "Come out, this will be out of the way." ”
Yang Jinzhou and Luo Xu raised their heads at the same time, because they saw Chen Lan and Jiang holding each other out, the former immediately showed a happy smile, only hindering the emperor's presence, after all, he could only go forward and salute. At this time, the emperor looked at the family that had been reunited, and then smiled slightly: "Ah Lan, the package ticket I beat has finally been cashed out at this time." You've been busy all night, and even your mother-in-law has been scared for so long, so let Uncle Quan stay. I and Ji Xi went back to the palace first. ”
"Your Majesty ......" Chen Lan was still thinking about the bloody scene before, and at this time, he didn't ask the emperor at all, but he explained in a ghostly way, "Your Majesty, the female nun before was the master of Longquan Nunnery, and when I went to the Bada with my mother, I used to ......."
"Rebel ministers and thieves, I picked you to speak, just to disturb people's hearts, can I still not believe you? You just have to throw away the words she said, as for how she planned this matter, I think that those seven people will not be able to pry open their mouths, and besides, there is that little brute, Xiao Lang may have clues over there...... If you don't have a son, you don't have to send me. Ji Xi, go out with me. ”
Luo Xu agreed and followed behind the emperor, but when he went out, he still couldn't help but glance at Chen Lan, who was pale, and then made a gesture towards Yang Jinzhou coldly.
Seeing that he nodded and understood, he walked a few steps forward and opened the curtain for the emperor. But at this moment, outside the door was Eunuch Fang who was carrying a food box with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the ginger soup has been boiled...... You're ......"
Before he finished speaking, the emperor motioned for him to open the food box, took a bowl himself, and motioned Luo Xu to take a bowl for himself, and then looked at the three bowls left on it, and then snorted inside: "Send it in to Uncle Quan and their family of three, and then go back to the palace with me!" ”
