Chapter 168: Decisive Killing, Goodbye Imperial Pen
In addition to his own room, Chen Lan has also entered the boudoir bedroom of several sisters in the family, although there are simple and luxurious, there are those who love books and those who love to paint, but at this moment, I saw that there was neither a plaque hanging in the bright room in front of him, nor any bronzing couplets, there was a big bow hanging in it, and on both sides was a hanging knife, a hanging sword, three things plus the heroic Yixing county lord on her side, that kind of domineering momentum made her can't help but straighten her waist, and her eyes unconsciously revealed admiration.
"How's this house?"
"Sure enough, it's different from ordinary boudoirs."
The county lord of Yixing saw all these reactions of Chen Lan in his eyes, and asked with a smile at this time, seeing that he only nodded and spoke a little absent-mindedly, he took her to the east house and the west house for a turn, and after coming out, he explained: "Although there is a place to live in the West Garden, this is a royal palace after all, and there are many internal officials and yamen, and there are also soldiers and horses in the north of the inner school field, so this house is big, and you simply live with me." Moreover, after all, the queen mother's side is going to recuperate, and you can't stay long in a day, except for don't walk around, the books in this room are read. β
Although Chen Lan was a little curious about this palace and wanted to see how it was different from the Palace Museum in later generations, she would not fail to understand the reason why curiosity killed cats, so the county lord of Yixing said so, and she naturally nodded again and again. After talking for a while, she remembered that Imperial Doctor Lin was afraid that she would not be able to leave Kunning Palace, and it would not be good if the Zhu family at home was sick, so she had to ask, and as a result, the county lord of Yixing immediately laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll let you do it. The murder case in the ** medical hall really scared Dr. Fang a lot, and my lord was almost scolded in the past, but fortunately, he was able to make an apology and almost appease people. Imperial Doctor Lin is not available, and there will be no big mistakes with Dr. Fang's presence. β
The county lord of Yixing mentioned the murder case of Dr. Fang and the ** medical hall, Chen Lan remembered that the last time Zheng was also involved, although he was released after a short time, but it seemed that he also suffered a little, so he took the opportunity to ask: "The county lord didn't say that I forgot, what can I say about that murder now?" I heard that just for this, the Korean prince was impeached by the imperial history repeatedly, and he didn't go out for several days. β
"Could it be that your mother Zheng has been to the Korean Mansion several times, and she doesn't know about the situation when the emperor summoned the Korean Princess?" The county lord of Yixing did not answer immediately, but asked rhetorically, seeing that Chen Lan was stunned for a moment, she shook her head, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Also, Han Gong was afraid that his wife and the old lady of your family were unwilling to make trouble, so he hid it." The previous case happened to collide in the hands of the city patrol Yushi, and this will be the trouble. Yu Chengen, the imperial historian who patrols the city, is the protΓ©gΓ© of Song Ge Lao, and Song Ge Lao and Han Gong are a little dirty, so he naturally grabbed the reason and just fell into the trick of the next person. β
Song Ge Lao and Han Gong are a little disagreeable?
Although Chen Lan has learned a lot about this era, she naturally knows nothing about these really high-level things. When she heard about this for the first time, she thought about it in her heart, but she didn't continue to ask after all. When the county lord of Yixing took her out of the house again, she went around the east wing room as a treasury and the west wing room as the lower part of several palace maids, and even the east side of the ear room used as a kitchen did not fall, so she returned to the house and called the maids over.
"I've been going out a lot these days, so I'll leave the two of them for you. As his name suggests, Changdi is a good archeryman, and he has also learned the kung fu of throwing arrows, so he can do it if he doesn't enter the palace. Hongying is a good gun, although it is worse than a man's strength, but in the end it is better than human dexterity. With them by their side, plus Qu Yong and Xia He have greeted the internal officials, they will never ......"
Before he finished speaking, a shout came from outside: "County Lord, the two camps of the Imperial Horse Supervisor are here."
"Nonsense, what are the two big men doing here?"
The county lord of Yixing stood up suddenly, and seeing that Chen Lan seemed to be a little shocked, she slowed down and said in a calm tone, "Don't be busy, you just sit in the room." Chang Dysprosium Hongying went out with me first, and suppressed the scene with your sisters. β
Seeing that the county lord of Yixing stepped forward to pick up the cloak on the chair, tied it casually and went out with the two maids, Chen Lan was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was no one else in the room at the moment, she simply walked to the door, but stopped when her hand was stretched out. Because at this moment, the cold voice of the county lord of Yixing came from outside.
"I'll keep you two over there, it's good for you to both break into here, if there is any more chaos in the barracks, what are you going to atone for, your heads?"
"The lord of the county forgives the sins."
Chen Lan listened to these four words, and vaguely felt that the man who spoke was at least in his early forties, and after a little groaning, he calmed down and sat back on the chair closest to the door, and listened carefully. Sure enough, after the man asked for the guilt, he said in a deep voice: "If you don't have no choice, you don't dare to come to this Yichun Pavilion rashly." Although it is said that the arrears have been paid, I don't know who spread the rumors, but what the court said that the court wanted to investigate the sergeants who mutined before, and the parties cut off their heads, not to mention, the rest were all on the sidelines, and after a night of strings, they made a fuss in the morning. Lao Hua and I suppressed it for a while, but this group of rabbit cubs was still staggering, and only said that it was ...... If you see with your own eyes that the person who embezzled their military salaries lose his head, even if he has killed his head in the past, he will admit it. β
As soon as these words came out, there was a silence outside. Although Chen Lan had some understanding of the chaos at that time, it was the first time he had heard of the situation in Xiyuan. Knowing that this time the disturbance was related to the arrears, she couldn't help frowning, and was thinking about why these people were so bold, so the county lord of Yixing opened his mouth.
"If it weren't for the extenuating of being instigated for them, after I played it down that day, I wouldn't have just punished the evil, and I didn't ask the rest, but I didn't expect that there were still people who were restless...... Have you already done what I was supposed to do? After receiving an affirmative answer, the Yixing county lord felt a little less impatient in his tone, "Originally, the person was already detained in the prison of the internal official prison, in order to save the outsiders from having any plans, and those gangs of unscrupulous men wanted to see murder...... Just kill."
A sentence of killing is enough, as if it is just killing chickens and dogs, not killing people. Even Chen Lan, who was familiar with the county lord of Yixing, felt a chill in his vest at this moment. The two outside were silent as if taken aback, one suggested whether to prophet the emperor, and the other hesitated to say whether he would be impeached, but was spat back by the county lord of Yixing.
"At what time now, the Tartar army is pressing, and the turmoil in Beijing is continuous, at this time, it doesn't matter what impeachment is not impeached As for the emperor, I have been entrusted with the right to arbitrarily act on the spot, but it is just an inconspicuous small role, and I need to spend a lot of time not to be verbose, just leave immediately...... Fang Li, immediately go to the prison of the inner official prison and bring people out"
The one who answered seemed to be a maid: "But the county lord...... After all, that's the nephew of the old An Guogong......"
"If you are not afraid of the earthquake in the capital, even King Wu will not be able to stay, not to mention that a junior who is not in the government should count such a day when he stretches out his hand for the army, and he deserves to die."
Hearing this, followed by a chaos outside, Chen Lan was about to stand up, when he saw that the originally low-hanging door curtain was opened, but it was the red tassel and the long dysprosium that entered the door together. Seeing Chen Lan sitting on the fourth chair on his left hand, the two women couldn't help but glance at each other, and then they both stepped forward to salute. The taller Hongying smiled and explained: "The county lord followed the two camps to the inner school field first, saying that he invited the third lady to take care of herself. β
Chen Lan nodded, and didn't dare to ask anything rashly, so he simply got up and walked into the east room full of books. Just now, she was just looking at the flowers, but now that Gege was looking at the bookshelf carefully, her mind gradually moved from the big and small events outside to here. The four-part classification method has a long history, and serious readers read the scriptures and talk about history books, and the subset is just additional reading, and as a boudoir woman, she will work poetry and songs at most. However, there was a shelf full of books here, and the top one even had to be picked up with a ladder, but it turned out that all of them were sub-departments, and the soldiers, lawyers, and miscellaneous artists were all-encompassing, and when Hongying sent a catalog, she was even more amazed.
Changdi saw Chen Lan flipping through the table of contents page by page, and said proudly: "Although the county lord doesn't like to dance and write ink on weekdays, he is most interested in these books, and many of them are found in Wenyuan Pavilion. There are not many books here, after all, the county lord rarely lives here now, and there are many miscellaneous books in our house. At the beginning, from Beijing to Jiangnan, from Jiangnan to Beijing, we took the waterway, and the book alone loaded half a boat......"
The two girls were full of respect for their masters, Chen Lan listened to them, and simply asked them to go up and get a few miscellaneous books of this dynasty. Looking at it, she couldn't help but muttered in her heart, the treasures of this palace Wenyuan Pavilion are different from the books that can be bought outside, and there are many secrets, which are much more courageous than those books in her study. Therefore, she forgot about the things around her when she looked at it, and she didn't even know when the two girls would retreat.
When she flipped through more than half of a book that recorded a lot of anecdotes about the Great War at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, she was suddenly stunned. It turned out that, like the book she had read before, the paper that had always been printed from right to left and from top to bottom actually had left-to-right letter symbols, and the handwriting was bright red, presumably handwritten. Strong patience was agitated, she hurriedly read it carefully word by word, and after reading a few pages, her face turned white unconsciously, until she heard a movement and suddenly looked up.
"Third Miss is still watching? I heard that the county lord of my family was the same when he was a child, and he couldn't put it down after holding the book for half a day. Hongying stepped forward to put down the plates of dim sum, glanced at the book that Chen Lan hadn't had time to close, and immediately became surprised, "The third lady dares to ponder these things, and the county lord used to think that these strange letters were strange, but they can be taken to the Siyi Pavilion, and they don't even know the translation." It is said that this was written by the grandfather in his later years, but the emperor never recognized it, so the books written with these were all picked up by the county lord and placed here. β
