After dark, the Yanzhou Night Market is bustling with people, the streets are bustling, the river is rippling, the air is mixed with the smell of greasy food, and the shouting and shouting are endless.

The jailer said that he wanted to be the east, and took the three of them to the largest drunken immortal restaurant in the south of the city to eat and drink.

The four of them went upstairs and entered the private room, and Jiang Guo was tired, so he sat down and beat his legs first. The jailer instructed Xiao Er about wine and food, while Yuan Ji and Liu Taijing sat opposite each other.

"It's cool." Jiang Guo leaned against the railing and let the cool breeze blow her cheeks, she closed her eyes and relaxed, "Comfortable." ”

The jailer called Gonggu, and after he finished speaking, he closed the door and said: "Yanzhou is surrounded by rivers, and there are mountains and rivers. The monsoon blows all year round, and it is a place to live, but it is afraid of heavy water. ”

"There are also many flower boats on the river, and they all say that Yanzhou is a poetic feng shui place in the south of the Yangtze River." Jiang Guo looked at the flower boat on the river, "Talented and beautiful, the night stars are rare, and the world is more lively than in the valley, but it is a little boring." ”

She lazily raised her arms high, and her delicate body showed graceful curves, making the three of them turn their heads sideways and not look at it.

Gonggu took a sip of tea and smiled heartily: "The flower boat is a must in Yanzhou, especially the double masterpiece of the book and piano in the Chongwu period. That's a beautiful woman who moved Kyushu. ”

"The book is perfect Jiang Xiaonan married Zhen Yi, but Naqin is unparalleled and famous. A fire killed the incense. Liu Taijing said regretfully.

"I was there when the fireworks boat caught fire, but she wasn't the only one." Gonggu put aside the tea, "Back then, a noble concubine came to the harem, and brought the three princes and the four princesses to Yanzhou to play, plus the state pastors of the eight states, and Lord Jiang was also present." Perhaps it was God's blessing, but when the fire started, the old man happened to be absent, and as a result, a boatload of fire burned everyone to death, and even the bones were buried in the river, and they couldn't be fished. ”

Speaking of Le Wushuang's past, Jiang Guo looked at Yuan Ji, she entered the world to visit her grandfather, and Yuan Ji was to find out Le Wushuang's life deeds.

Now that Gonggu knew the details, she asked curiously: "What does a noble concubine have to do with those seven state pastors when she goes to Yanzhou to play?" I'm afraid I'm here to flatter, right? ”

"This time, you're right, you're here to pat yourself on the back." Gonggu was full of interest, "Although it was the queen Jiao who was the most powerful person in the harem back then, it was the concubine Zhao who was favored. From the Chongwu year to the current Zhongyong year, Emperor Jingcheng has not established a prince. And at that time, the most pleasing Emperor Jingcheng was the third prince King Qi. At that time, the king of Qi was the desire of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the state pastors took the opportunity to tie up. ”

"So in order to please the concubine, Mr. Jiang invited Le Wushuang to help the fun?" Yuanji lowered his eyes.

At this time, Xiao Er was serving food during the banquet, Yanzhou is close to the river, the people like light vegetarian food, rich in seafood, the food plate is full of fatty fish, shrimp and seafood, the table is full of various dishes, and the aroma is overflowing.

Xiao Er interjected when he was serving the food: "The guest officer is very knowledgeable, and Le Wushuang is a golden sign in Yanzhou." Although he lives in a willow smoke boat, he has never sold a woman in his life, and he relies on his piano skills. However, it is said that she has a concubine, and she is about to redeem herself, but she suffers a great disaster. ”

Jiang Guo blurted out in surprise: "Who is it?" ”

When it came to Yuanji's biological father, Jiang Guo was quite nervous, and even Yuanji also looked at Xiao Er.

"It's all idle talk, I don't know." Xiao Er smiled, his eyes rolled, "There is an old mother in the building, she is the master of Mingyue Pavilion, and he Le Wushuang was still a close friend in the boudoir back then, and the song of Yanzhou is the first, and she is the second." If you want to listen to music, I can call you. ”

Xiao Er rubbed his fingers vaguely, Liu Taijing took off the heavy bag of money on his waist and threw it to his knee freely.

Xiao Er pinched the money, felt the thick heaviness, and immediately shouted happily: "Oh! ”

When Xiao Er went out, everyone poured wine and vegetables, and chatted a few words.

After a while, Xiao Er pushed the door in, followed by an elderly woman with a bed of Jiaoweiqin in her arms.

The old woman knelt in front of the door and bowed her head respectfully: "I have seen all the guest officers." ”

Liu Taijing said: "Then please ask the old mother to play the piano and help us with wine." ”

Only then did the old woman raise her head: "The rough piano is old-fashioned, and the old woman is trying her best...... For. ”

Her words were obvious as she spoke, and her eyes fell directly on Yuanji in disbelief, and she didn't move for a long time.

Xiao Er felt strange, squeezed and smiled and nudged her, and shouted quietly.

The old woman came back to her senses, hung her head in a panic and said, "Offended, the old woman and Fang just drank a few cups, which made the guests laugh." ”

Xiao Er also confessed, and then withdrew from the private room.

After the old woman sat down, she looked around at everyone and asked, "I don't know what music you want to listen to?" ”

"When I came to Yanzhou, I naturally listened to the wild song of the night sand." Gonggu introduced with a smile, "This song was created by Le Wushuang for Zhen Yi to kill the enemy, the lyrics and songs are amazing, everyone in Kyushu knows it, you have to listen to it." ”

Liu Taijing bowed his head: "Then I'll play a song, and I'll sing a song in the night sand." ”

The old woman nodded, pressed the strings with both palms, and then stroked slightly, and everyone listened silently.

The sound of the piano outlines up, starting with the soft sound of crying, and abruptly changing to Xiao Su halfway. The atmosphere in the room changed in an instant, and the sound of slaughter was continuous, sometimes high and sometimes low.

The chests of the four of them rose and fell violently, feeling the strong iron-blooded killing intent, and they couldn't help but snort a little heavier.

And at this moment, a few roaring thunders suddenly sounded outside the house, and the bamboo eaves and green tiles sounded the sound of falling rain, and the sound of the piano seemed to blend into the drizzle, and after a moment of passionate outburst, it turned into a soft green artistic conception, accompanied by the last song of singing.

"Knife Hunt...... Reflecting the waning moon ......"

At the end of the song, the tenderness and sweetness are like a thousand knots of sorrow, and the sound of the piano is even more unforgettable.

"Good, good, good." Liu Taijing clapped his hands and smiled, "It's worthy of the night sand song that moves Kyushu, okay." ”

Jiang Guo's eyes turned red when she heard this, she looked at the old woman and asked, "Old mother, I heard that Le Wushuang is your close friend, is her piano skills as good as yours?" ”

"Don't dare, although the old woman and Wushuang are best friends, her piano skills are far better than mine, I just know a little about the skin." The old woman pressed the piano, "It's just that the sky is not beautiful, a fire, and the song is mourned." ”

Liu Taijing held his cup and didn't drink, and asked abruptly: "May I ask the old mother, I just heard Xiao Er say that Le Wushuang had a meaning in his heart back then." Is there such a thing? ”

"It's just a joke, Wushuang is intoxicated with piano skills, and he is a nodding friend with the sons and nobles who come and go." The old woman looked at Yuan Ji with a complicated look in her eyes, "Where does the heart belong, it's all laughter, laughter." ”

She swallowed in her throat and looked down at the piano.

"Le Wushuang is white, and I haven't heard anything of her sweetheart in 30 years." Gonggu was a little drunk, leaning on the handrail and shrugging his head, "Back then, even Concubine Zhao Guifei wanted to take her into the palace, she ...... Call...... I don't agree. ”

When the old woman heard this, her face suddenly changed slightly, and she immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to let people see the clues.

After Gonggu finished speaking, he fell on the case, and Jiang Guo called Xiao Er to help him take him home.

She looked at Yuan Ji: "It's not early, are you still drinking?" ”

Yuanji said drunkenly, "Later, I'm drinking a few glasses." ”

Jiang Guo couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw him drinking: "Don't get drunk." ”

Yuanji wordlessly scattered the money, and the old woman was about to retreat after receiving the reward, but she peeked at Yuanji through the crack in the door a few times before leaving, and then left sadly.

The three of them drank a lot of wine silently in the private room, and Xiao Er saw that they had a good amount of wine, so he was happy to send more wine in.

The drizzle continued, the raindrops on the eaves dripped, and when the thunder roared, Liu Taijing said: "What do you think of what Senior Brother Fang Cai Gonggu said? ”

Jiang Guo was suspicious early, she thought about it and said: "Le Wushuang is the identity of a geisha, but Zhao Guifei wants to take her into the palace, isn't it entering the palace to be a 'palace music official'?" ”

Liu Taijing shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, 'prostitutes' have been ninth-rate, and the nobles of Tianheng like it, and they will not do such stupid things that will lose their reputation for the sake of liking. ”

"I guess......" Yuan Ji paused in thought, "Zhao Guifei's identity personally takes Le Wushuang into the palace, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a mere palace music official." ”

Jiang Guo seemed to be taken aback, and she asked excitedly, "Isn't it for the concubine?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't ...... this," Motoyoshi didn't dare to talk nonsense about customs.

Liu Taijing said disapprehantly: "Why not? Le Wushuang is a geisha, and he only needs to prove that he is clean, and then he changed his household registration by the emperor's edict. Not to mention being a concubine, it is possible to be a queen. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuanji condensed his eyes, before Xiao Er said that Le Wushuang had a lover, but Gonggu said that Le Wushuang had never had a lover.

If Le Wushuang really has a lover, it is very likely to be Yuanji's biological father.

But if not, then whose son is Yuan Guitar himself?

Liu Taijing saw that his brows were frowning, and his expression became more and more satisfied.

But Jiang Guo always felt that it was impossible, and she retorted: "Even if the emperor let Le Wushuang get rid of her lowly status, she has a good reputation. No one in Kyushu knows who doesn't know, she is a geisha, and she is a red sign in the Yanzhou flower boat. ”

Yuanji agreed with her words, but he felt inexplicably that it was not a taste in his heart, and the hand holding the wine glass suddenly tightened, but he instantly unloaded his strength.

After all, it was his mother, which was regarded as an inferior status, and he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his bones.

Yuan Ji looked at the cup and deliberately changed the topic: "Senior Brother Liu, tomorrow the third eunuch of the court will try Jiang Zimo, will the forbidden army in the west of the city you accompany also accompany the guard?" ”

"Nature." Liu Taijing looked at Yuan Ji, "I heard that when Jiang Zimo was arrested, the people of the entire Yanzhou Prefecture made a big fuss about the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, and almost lost their lives. ”

Yuan Ji seemed to be enlightened by this sentence, and he asked: "The people of the entire Yanzhou? For a Jiang Zimo? ”

Liu Taijing replied, "Not bad." ”

When Jiang Guo heard about this past, her heart was the same as that of the people, and she said excitedly: "That must be my grandfather's good governance in Yanzhou, and the people love him." ”

This is true, Jiangzhou Mu is an honest official and has governed Yanzhou for 30 years. Emperor Zheng Guo once appreciated him, and even gave him the name of 'Dingze Zhensong', which was a model for hundreds of officials to follow. ”

The 100 official models are now in prison, and Daizhou Mu Chengyue has fallen into the well when he sees the opportunity.

Who can save him?

This question made Yuan Ji drink a glass, and then he put down the wine bottle and said: "In other words, Jiang Zimo owns Yanzhou, but on the contrary, Yanzhou owns Jiang Zimo." ”

Jiang Guo and Liu Taijing both looked at him in unison, and immediately understood the meaning of their words.

Zheng Guozhong was trying to kill him.

But Yanzhou will not sit idly by!

Oooo

Suddenly there was the sound of gongs beating in the street, and at the same time I heard someone shouting in the street.

"Killed, killed!!"

The three of them were drunk when they heard this, and they immediately exchanged glances, and they turned out together with the hook railing.

Liu Taijing intercepted the person who struck the gong, showed the waist card he was carrying, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the person?" ”

The man held the gong, his eyes wide with horror, pointed to the corner of the alley, and stammered, "That, there." ”

The three of them immediately ran to the alley.

There were pools of blood on the ground, the rain crackling down on the pale robe, and the man stared with his mouth open, and there was a sharp wound in his throat.

Liu Taijing squatted down to take a closer look, frowned and said, "The wound is smooth, and the person who started is good at using a sword." ”

Yuan Ji picked up a waist card from under the corpse and looked left and right: "This person is the first to strike, so that tomorrow's situation will be chaotic." ”

The waist card was full of water droplets, so that people couldn't see the words engraved in it, but after Jiang Guo got closer and saw it clearly, his brows frowned even tighter.

On the left side is written the court captain left prison, and on the right side is written three words.

Chen Pinggang.
