Chapter 1 Qingchengzi Linjing encountered cold for the first time

In the early spring, the sky is hazy, and the cold wind blowing from Zhongnan Mountain is mixed with some moisture, and it is still cold. As a red sun rose, when it broke through the clouds and sprinkled the first rays of morning light, the majestic Chang'an City was like a giant that had been awakened, breathing heavily and stretching its muscles and bones, and regaining its unparalleled vigor and vitality in the past.

Ten miles away from the southeast of the suburbs, there is an inconspicuous Taoist temple - Jingyun Temple; When the glow spreads evenly on the roof, every corner of the temple exudes a hint of warmth.

On the lawn in the backyard of the Taoist temple, a tall young man was concentrating on sword practice. He has a webbed head, a thin face, dark and bright eyes, and he dances his sword like a cloud, and there is a murderous intent hidden in every step. He is the Jiangnan celebrity nicknamed Qingchengzi - Li Yunhan.

Li Yunhan practiced a five-element sword. When his body was slightly sweating, he stopped, took the cowhide bladder on the side, and drank a few sips of wine. However, there was not much wine in his bag, and he drank it all in an instant, which made him a little disappointed.

Li Yunhan sighed lightly, squinted his eyes at the rising sun, and let the selfless and gentle caress of the ten thousand rays of light cast by the heavens, his mind became empty for a moment.

Li Yunhan returned to the bedroom, took out a brown mahogany amulet from his bag, stared at it for a while, and said to himself: I should go.

He packed his peach talisman, packed his bags, and strode out of the bedroom.

Li Yunhan walked to the gate of Jingyunguan, but was unexpectedly stopped by two little Taoist aunts on duty, saying that he was ordered by Master Jingchen to not let him go out.

Seeing that Li Yunhan still insisted on leaving, the two Dao aunts drew their swords and blocked the door, trying to force him to retreat to the temple.

"Hugh is rude!" With a shout, the Dust Purifier approached. She was about forty years old, with a clear appearance and a calm face, and said to Li Yunhan: "Why is Mr. in a hurry to leave when he first arrives?" ”

"Living alone in the temple is really a bit lonely and boring; Besides, I've been waiting for two days, and I haven't seen Master Zhiying. Li Yunhan said.

"Excuse me, sir." Jingchen sighed lightly, "Mr. suddenly came to visit, but unfortunately the fairy aunt went out to travel, I'm afraid I will have to wait a little longer." ”

"Three, five, or January, or two?"

"It's hard to say." Jingchen's face was calm, "Walking the rivers and lakes, I can't help myself." What's more, the appointment between Mr. and the fairy girl was three years ago...... But rest assured, sir, I have sent a messenger, and she will come to you if she learns of it. ”

"Well, I can't wait."

Jingchen smiled when he heard this, and said: "Although this view is small, there are all kinds of food, tea, and heating utensils, which can ensure that Mr. has no worries about sleeping; In addition, there are still musical instruments such as the zither and the sheng flute in the west wing, so if the gentleman feels lonely and bored, he can enjoy it to pass the time. ”

"Can't really go out?"

"Yes. If the gentleman has any urgent matter, just tell his subordinates to do it. Jingchen's tone was firm, and he glanced at Xiao Daogu. The little Dao Gu immediately walked over and pulled Li Yunhan back to the house with a smile.

"Alas, the dragon is trapped in shallow water." Seeing this, Li Yunhan smiled bitterly, "Then let's wait." ”

Back in the bedroom, Li Yunhan closed his eyes and lay down for a while, his thoughts still difficult to calm down; He got up and walked to the window, but saw that the grass and trees in the courtyard were bleak, and there was silence outside the occasional bird's cry.

Li Yunhan quietly slipped out of the house with his luggage on his back, and when he saw that no one was around, he walked quickly to the backyard wall, and jumped out of Jingyunguan.

After walking three or four miles along the official road to the west, and descending a high slope, a majestic and solemn city appeared in front of him. He couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Chang'an, I'm here......"

In the early morning, the early sun shines on the streets of Chang'an, with shops lined up one after another, pedestrians dressed in bright clothes and cars and horses shuttling back and forth, everything is running in an orderly and orderly manner as usual, filled with peace and comfort.

Serving Yu Shi Da is nearly thirty years old, his face is thin, and a pair of fine eyes under his sword eyebrows reflect a sharp cold light; Because of the wind and frost blowing on the border for many years, his face is dark yellow and wrinkled. Dressed in a black cloak, he rode fast on horseback, the bustle of the market and the beauty of early spring passing by him.

Suddenly, there was a commotion from the northwest, which instantly disturbed the peace in the city. Shopkeepers and pedestrians on the street couldn't help but turn their heads to look around, and they all cast suspicious glances.

Da Fu Lema stopped and looked up, only to see a few errand officers who had opened the way rampant, shouting loudly, and not far behind him, a group of officers and soldiers escorted three prisoners to the West Market for execution.

Ji Wen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, sat on his horse with an arrogant expression, his beard was sparse, his gray face was on his back, and his eyes were cold and scanned at the slowly moving convoy.

A middle-aged prisoner trapped in a wooden cage car, with a look of resentment on his face, shouted complaints at passers-by from time to time, and slammed his shackled arms against the wooden fence.

The head catcher stood with a purple and black broad face, and scolded the man with his eyes open: "Damn, you dare to talk nonsense when you are dying, see if Lao Tzu doesn't smash your mouth!" With that, he waved his whip and struck.

The prisoner was unkempt, raised his head vigorously and spat him through the wooden fence: "Hmph, a group of villains have done a lot of evil, God will never let you go!" ”

With seven or eight loud whips, the man's face was marked with several blood marks.

Blood and hair stuck together.

Da Fu knew the prisoner, named Wei Zhi. This person was originally the brother of the crown princess Wei, who was framed by Lin Fu and other traitors, and was falsely accused of rebellion. Da Fu Ai couldn't help suppress the anger in his heart, turned his horse's head and turned into a secluded alley. Because at this moment, he has a very urgent matter, go to Shaoyang Palace to meet the crown prince Li Heng.

Li Heng is the third son of Emperor Xuan, and was named King Zhong in his early years. When Concubine Shen Li was alive five years ago, because she was favored by Emperor Xuan, she wanted to change her son King Fu as the prince, so she secretly colluded with Lin Fu and others to design to kill the former prince. Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuan regretted it afterwards, and did not listen to what Concubine Shen Li said, but made Li Heng the crown prince. Concubine Shen Li was terrified of this, and died of depression a year later.

After walking for about half an hour, Da Fu rushed to the outside of Shaoyang Palace. Shaoyang Palace is located in the southeast corner of Daming Palace, covering an area of not much, about more than ten acres away.

Entering the palace, accompanied by Cen Shen, a member of the Prince's Mansion, Da Fu hurried to the front yard with a look on his face, and was suddenly stopped by a woman. Da Fu stopped to take a look, but it was Xiao Liangyuan, who was playing with the prince's youngest son, Li Amaranth.

Xiao Liangyuan is nearly forty years old, with a white face and clean skin, and a pair of dark eyes under thin eyebrows with a little resentment. She was originally Da Fu's aunt, married to King Zhong in her early years, because she failed to give birth to children for many years after entering the palace, so she regarded Da Fu as if she were her own, and often spared no effort to help him.

Da Fu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and greeted her, "Aunt is well." ”

"Well, it's fine;" Xiao Liangyuan smiled slightly, a little bitter, "Want to see His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Da Fu nodded, "Yes." ”

Xiao Liangyuan sighed lightly and said, "Go ahead, he's in the fasting room." ”

Da Funuo said, and then walked away with Cen Shen.

The two entered the room, and a slightly fat middle-aged man was leaning over in front of the spiritual thrones of the deceased concubines Wu and Wei, burning incense, praying in a low voice, and his movements were slightly sluggish. He is the crown prince Li Heng, although his face is round, his eyes are dull, and his forehead is covered with fine wrinkles. His eldest son, Li Yu, and Fu Guo, the chief attendant, stood silently on the side with solemn expressions.

Da Fu whispered to the prince: "Your Highness, be well." ”

The prince turned his head, was stunned for a moment, and said eagerly: "You can see him?" ”

"Well, it was arranged by the fifth Qi, and I saw it yesterday." Da Fu paused, "Your Highness, rest assured, although Brother Wei was punished, he insisted that this case had nothing to do with His Highness." ”

After hearing this, the prince let out a long breath, and said with a gloomy expression: "He is leaving today, but unfortunately the palace can't see him off." ”

"Your Highness mourns. Although he broke his arm again this time, it was fortunate that His Highness was able to escape this catastrophe and keep the position of the East Palace. Da Fu said.

"Alas, since the establishment of the crown prince, this palace has really suffered a life. Concubine Wu has died of illness for many years, and now Concubine Wei is frightened because of her brother's rebellion. The prince burst into tears as he spoke, "This palace is in fear every day, what is the point of living like this!" ”

Da Fu pressed his sword and said, "Your Highness, the brothers of the Iron Cloak Society have long been unable to hold back, just wait for your order, and they will definitely fight with them to the death!" ”

"No!" The crown prince hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and relieved himself, "Lin Fu has been in the court for many years and is powerful, and even his father and emperor are obedient to him; There are also the four minions under him, Wang Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Chen Yeshuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Ji Wen, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Yang Silang in the Imperial History, all of them are as fierce as tigers and wolves, how to fight! ”

Seeing the prince's angry face, Da Fu hurriedly lowered his head, and said an unwilling "um".

Cen Shen saw Da Fu's thoughts on the side, and patted him with a smile: "Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, if you attack rashly, won't you fall into the trap of thieves!" ”

Cen Shen was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with handsome eyes and extraordinary spirit, and in his early years, he had been with Da Fu for several years, and then he was recommended to join the army in the prince's mansion.

"Alas, this palace is weak, and I can only swallow this breath."

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Suddenly, the prince seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, Lord Shi has returned to Beijing?" "It turns out that the prince said that the surname of this Shi Lord is Shi Mingzheng, who is the left minister, and his temperament is upright and bold, because he is fond of alcohol and drink, and the secretary and supervisor He Wen, King Hui and others are called the eight immortals in the capital wine.

"Nope." A trace of anxiety crossed the corner of Da Fu's eyes, "Shi Xiang went to Jizhou for disaster relief, saying that it was a month, but now two months have passed, and there is no news." ”

The prince was a little disappointed when he heard this, thought about it and said sadly: "Shi Xiang is upright, and he has repeatedly exonerated me in front of his father, and he has already become a thorn in the side of the forest thieves, and I am afraid that he will not be able to protect himself." ”

After hearing this, Da Fu hurriedly persuaded him to rest assured, saying that he would see him as soon as Shi Zheng returned to Beijing and reminded him to take more precautions.

The prince said, "Hmm," and his eyebrows stretched slightly.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing," Da Fu frowned, "Your Majesty ordered King Jing to enter Beijing the month before last, and I always feel a little uneasy when I think about it." ”

"Why is that?" The prince asked.

"This edict King Jing entered the capital is admonished by Lin Fu, and I suspect that he has bad intentions." Seeing the prince's confused face, Da Fu said again, "If he makes King Jing the prince, what should he do?" ”

The prince suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and slowly moved his gaze to Fu Guo.

Fu Guonian is in his early twenties, and his face is as white and tender as a child; He entered the palace in his early years and worked under the great eunuch Gao Jun. Although his appearance is not good, he was born smart and intelligent, and he was appreciated by Gao Jun, and he was arranged to be on an errand in Shaoyang Palace three years ago. In the past few years, Fu Guo relied on his loyalty and kindness, and soon became the prince's confidant.

Fu Guo blinked his tadpole-like eyes, and his face sank: "Among the princes now, King Fu has fallen out of favor for a long time, and only King Jing is favored by His Majesty; If the forest thief bewitches His Majesty and instigates the ministers to support King Jing, it will be bad. ”

"Well, what Xiaoguozi said has a point." The prince sighed and said, "Over the years, every time the forest thieves have made waves, they will want to put this palace to death; Presumably, there is a secret trick this time. ”

The crowd was speechless for a moment.

Da Fu coughed dryly and asked the prince: "Your Highness, do you still remember that Qingchengzi - Li Yunhan?" ”

"Of course I remember what Daqing recommended." The prince nodded, and his face gradually relaxed, "Qingchengzi is a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River, although this king has lived in the palace for a long time, he has also heard of his great name. ”

"Your Royal Highness, in the next once with him righteous marriage Jinlan, this person is not only familiar with the hundred schools of thought, proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal, and has a chivalrous style, there are many rumors among the people that he is too platinum star to descend to earth, and he can settle the world. If His Highness gets this person, why can't he cut off the traitorous party! Da Fu said angrily.

"Well, of course Hongu wants to reuse him." The prince's eyes widened and he asked Da Fu, "Could it be that he has already agreed?" ”

"Nope. Although Qingchengzi is talented and learned, he is arrogant by nature and indifferent to fame and fortune, and he sent people to invite him in the next two times, but he politely declined. ”

The prince shook his head lightly when he heard this, and said solemnly: "But all the masters and gentlemen on the rivers and lakes will inevitably have some arrogance and arrogance; He doesn't want to go out of the mountain, because your sincerity is not enough! ”

"Yes, I understand." Da Fu's face flushed slightly, "Although he was not invited out of the mountain, according to the report of the Iron Cloak Society, Li Yunhan had already gotten up from Donglu and went to Chang'an." ”

"He's going to Beijing...... That's great. A smile suddenly crossed the prince's face, "Remember, sincerity, gold and stone are open; This time, you're going to bring him to Hongu no matter what. ”

After hearing this, Da Fu immediately agreed: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

The prince slowly turned around, stared at Concubine Wei's spiritual position for a while, shed a few tears, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Wei, you can rest under the Nine Springs; Rest assured, this revenge will not be avenged, and this palace will not be a person! ”

Fu Guo was also a little sad when he saw it on the side, and persuaded softly: "Your Highness, you have been tired for half an hour, and it is time to take a rest." ”

The prince didn't pay attention to it, still staring at Concubine Wei's tablet stupidly.

At this time, Concubine Wei's youngest son, Li Amaranth, quietly slipped into the house, ran to her spiritual seat, and shouted loudly: "Mother, where have you been?" Why can't I see you again? Mother, I'm going to find you......"

The prince stepped forward and took him in his arms, stroking him constantly.

"Father, the child dreamed of his mother again last night," Li Yuan shook her head, "She opened her eyes wide, looked at me stunned, and didn't say a word......

At this time, Xiao Liangyuan hurriedly entered the house, stepped forward and pulled Li Yuan away, saying that it was not too early, and persuaded him to go to study.

"No, I miss my mother," Li Yuan pushed Xiao Liangyuan away, "I don't read any broken books!" ”

At this moment in Pingkangfang, the house of Tim Limfer on the right side seems to be much more lively than usual.

On the same day, Lin Fu invited Wang Gong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yang Silang, the secretary of the Imperial History, and Chen Yeshuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, to come to the banquet, and specially prepared a hundred tongues banquet for them in the Yuetang.

Lin Fu was over sixty years old, his eyes were deep and glowing, his beard was sparse, and his long gray and wrinkled face looked a little eerie. In order to consolidate his power, he framed his ministers and repeatedly set up unjust prisons, killing many innocent people. Lynfer was well aware of his sin, and in order to prevent assassination, he often called forward and hugged when traveling, and was on guard; And built a hall in his house, and secretly set up multiple organs for his reception, sleeping, called Yuetang.

Lin Fu and Wang Gong and others exchanged pleasantries after meeting and sat down.

Wang Gong stroked his short beard, looked at the table full of wine and food, and smiled at Lin Fu and said: "Lord Lin, I won't tell you anything, over the years, Wang has traveled all over the world and tasted all kinds of delicacies, only knowing that only this hundred tongue banquet is the best taste in the world." ”

"Isn't it?" Chen Yeshuo moved his fat body and echoed, "Every time we get together, Lin Xiang treats him with this delicious treat, which is really a blessing for three lives." ”

Wang Gongwu took two bites, clicked his mouth, and said, "Get together today, it's a pity that Master Ji is missing——"

Yang Silang is about forty years old, with white and fine skin and handsome facial features; He couldn't get used to Wang Gong's greedy appearance, so he squinted his eyes and sneered, and said, "Lord Wang, don't care about your own greed; Lin Xiang feasted with a hundred tongues, can you understand the deep meaning of this? ”

Wang Gong said disdainfully: "Then it goes without saying, of course it is Lin Xiang's love." ”

"Tongue, you know? That's the one who speaks; Without it, who else in the world would dare to talk nonsense and discuss the government in front of Lin Xiang! Yang Silang had a straight face and a teaching tone.

"Well, that's a reason; Those who are ministers should say what they should say, and they should not say a word about what they should not say. Wang Gong smiled at Lin Fu, "My lord, what do you say?" ”

"It's still Lord Yang who understands the old man's intentions best." Lin Fu glanced at the crowd and said, "The old man has been a minister for more than ten years, and he has realized a reason, if a minister wants to be developed, his tongue is often more precious than his life. ”

"What Lord Lin said is very true, we are willing to follow the saddled horse and swear to obey each other." Chen Yeshuo and Wang Gong said and raised their wine glasses to toast.

Lin Fu took a sip of his wine glass and said, "It's rare for everyone to get together today, please speak freely." ”

Wang Gong put down his wine glass, thought for a while and said to Lin Fu: "In the past few years, don't you think that Your Majesty has become more and more wrong......

Yang Silang frowned when he heard this, and asked Wang Gong why did he say this?

"Do you need to ask?" Wang Gonggan smiled and said, "Since Concubine Yi entered the inner palace, Your Majesty has become more and more alienated from King Fu. ”

"He still wants to fight for a slot?" Chen Yeshuo moved his fat body and smiled lightly at Wang Gong, "In the past, when his biological mother Shen Lifei was alive, there was Lin Xiangli to protect him, and King Fu was in the limelight for a while, and he had the potential to replace the prince, but now the situation has changed. ”

"Isn't it," Yang Silang's face was expressionless, "King Fu knows that there is no hope of establishing a prince, and he is depressed and obsessed with wine all day long, and he is afraid that his life will not be long." ”

Lin Fu smiled when he heard this, and said to Wang Gong: "Say, there is more." ”

Wang Gong perked up his spirits and said: "Although King Fu has fallen out of favor, but we have been secretly fighting with the prince for many years, and we have a lot of grievances, as long as Your Majesty has not made an obvious statement, no matter what, we must try to replace the prince and fully support King Fu." ”

Yang Silang sneered: "Lord Wang is really uninteresting! ”

"Well, the will is unpredictable." Lin Fu sneered.

Chen Yeshuo thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "It's just that Your Majesty lives in the inner palace, how can we get a glimpse of the holy will?" ”

Yang Silang hurriedly said to Lin Fu after hearing this: "My lord, it will be King Fu's birthday in a few days, and I would like to see Your Majesty for an inquiry on this ground." ”

"No need, Lord Yang." Lynver narrowed his eyes.

"Oh?"

"Don't wait for it, the old man has already chosen the person who will take the heir." Lynver Road.

"Who?"

Lin Fu said casually: "Sixteen princes." The old man has asked His Majesty to summon him back to Beijing. ”

"King Jing," Wang Gong looked confused, "hasn't he been friends with the crown prince since childhood?"

"That's right," Lin Fu nodded, leaning back in his chair and said slowly, "King Jing grew up in the Ten Princes' Mansion since he was a child, and he was quite loved by the prince, but it was all the old yellow calendar. Times are changing, and now that he has grown up, he is in an important position and a single town. According to the old man's observation, King Jing acted straightforwardly, was more than fierce and simple-minded, if we clearly supported him as the prince, how could he still take into account brotherly feelings for the sake of the throne? ”

It turned out that since Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, a palace was built in Yongxingfang, south of Daming Palace, and more than ten princes such as the crown prince, King Fu, and King Jing were placed in it, and confidants and eunuchs were appointed to monitor and control the actions of the princes. The princes not only lived in a concentrated manner, but also strictly forbade friendship with ministers and border generals.

Yang Silang thought about it for a while, and smiled at Lin Fu: "It seems that the adult is determined to be easy to store!" ”

Wang Gong came to his senses after hearing this, hurriedly turned the direction of the wind, and said: "Lin Xiang has repeatedly shown his might, and the prince has already become a frightened bird, this time he must be replaced!" ”

"There is no turning back when you open a bow!" Lin Fu snorted, his face gloomy, "This time I let the prince escape again, which is really a pity for the old man." ”

Wang Gong glanced at Yang Silang and said, "Lord Yang, you are the presiding judge of Wei Zhi's case. ”

Yang Silang trembled violently when he heard this, and forced himself to calm down: "How can you blame me? Wei Zhi was stubborn and refused to admit that the prince was implicated. Also, Concubine Wei died in fear because of this case, and His Majesty relented for a while after hearing about it, and didn't want to investigate further. ”

"Lord Yang, you can really shirk it." Lynver said lukewarmly.

Yang Silang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he couldn't answer.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fu asked Chen Yeshuo again, which other court officials have close contacts with the East Palace at the moment?

Chen Yeshuo thought for a while, and said that it seemed that there was no one.

"No, you see it every day." Lynver said unhurriedly.

"Oh?"

"Shi Zheng." Lynver Road.

Wang Gong listened and said angrily: "This ungrateful old guy also treats himself too much, and he quarrels with adults in the court several times, but he is still promoted by you." ”

"Alas, the old man thought that he had a cowardly personality and could be used by me, but I didn't expect to promote him to be the left minister, but he suddenly changed his mind;" Lin Fu sighed, "This time Wei Zhi committed the crime, not only did he not stand on the side of the old man, but interceded for the prince. ”

"In the past two years, he has become closer and closer to Donggong." Wang Gong was angry and said to Lin Fu, "As long as the adult pulls his little thumb, he will kill his dog!" ”

"The old man is getting older, not only does his hands and feet not obey the call, but his heart also softens......"

"Soft-heartedness is bullied." Chen Yeshuo said hatefully, "Shi Zheng, this old thing, really doesn't know how to lift, and if he doesn't give him some color, he really forgot how many catties and taels he had." ”

As soon as these words came out, the room became silent for a moment.

Yang Silang said: "By the way, Shi Zheng is going to Jizhou to inspect disaster relief, and it is said that he should return to Beijing, but for some reason, he has not returned yet." ”

"Of course he's not idle. It is said that as soon as he arrived in Jizhou, he collected a lot of evidence of corruption and wealth accumulation by local officials, and planned to go to His Majesty to investigate it to the end. Wang Gong said and moved his gaze to Chen Yeshuo, with a hint of smugness on his face, "Disaster relief has always been in charge of the household department, maybe this investigation will first affect Lord Chen." ”

Chen Yeshuo's face turned red after hearing this, and he said angrily: "Hmph, dare to check me? Then wait and see who dies first! ”

"Jizhou is adjacent to Yuyang in the north and is the jurisdiction of Chu Mohan. Once this case is investigated, no matter which official of the imperial court is implicated, no one will be able to hide," Yang Silang stared at Lin Fu, "My lord, what do you say?" ”

Lin Fu said "um" and said, "If you want to abolish the prince, you must get rid of this person first!" ”

"Yes, it's long overdue." Chen Yeshuo echoed.

Lin Fu bowed his head slightly when he heard this, moved his gaze to Wang Gong and Yang Silang, lightly twisted his beard with a casual look, and said, "Knock down Shi Zheng, the candidates for the left phase are the two of you." ”

Wang and Yang were secretly surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly thanked them.

"Well, that's good," Lin Fu stared at Wang Gong, "Also, Xiao Yu, the household servant, you have to keep an eye on it." ”

Wang Gong listened to it and said with sincere fear: "Don't worry, my lord, I have ordered my brother Wang Han to enter the Xiao Mansion and is secretly investigating. ”

Lin Fu twisted his beard lightly and sneered: "Okay, the old man will sit and wait for your good news......

After Li Yunhan entered Beijing, he wandered around for a while, and found a tavern on the street to rest. After a simple meal, he instructed the shopkeeper to fill the wine with a water bladder, paid the money and happily left the restaurant.

When passing through the West Market, a group of people surrounded by black pressure in front of him, and a few sighs were heard from time to time.

Li Yunhan hurried over with some curiosity. When I got closer, I knew that it was the execution ground. He lifted his toes and looked into the distance, only to see Wei Zhi and the other three death row prisoners kneeling on the ground, and two executioners with steel knives standing aside.

Ji Wen, the supervisor and beheader, sat on the stage with a solemn expression, and the soldiers on both sides stood solemnly with weapons, with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

At this moment, a slender young woman squeezed into the crowd, her eyebrows slightly frowned and she watched for a while, with a little anger in her eyes. It turned out that this woman's name was Miaojin, the daughter of Luo Feng, the official of Yuyang in Beijing, and she had met Li Yunhan when she passed through Liang Yuan three years ago. When Li Yunhan squeezed past her, she tilted her head sideways and glanced at him inadvertently, as if she was a little dissatisfied, but quickly withdrew her gaze.

Li Yunhan squeezed to the front of the crowd, and when he was about to take a closer look, the executioner had already raised his knife and fell, and the heads of Wei Zhi and the others fell to the ground one after another, and blood splattered in all directions.

The onlookers in the audience saw a lot of lamentation and sighing; There are also people who complain in a low voice, scolding Lin Fu for betraying the party and betraying the country and framing Zhongliang......

Li Yunhan stood silently, looking at the bloody scene, while listening to the private discussions and scolding voices of the people around him, a chill instantly penetrated his heart.

He couldn't bear to look any further, turned around and let out a long sigh, which happened to fall on Miaojin's gaze. Miaojin felt that this person was familiar, and after thinking about it, she wanted to come forward to take a look, but the crowd dispersed and crowded, and quickly pushed her aside.

When Miaojin came back to her senses and looked for it again, Li Yunhan was already gone, and she pondered silently for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little lost and melancholy.
