Chapter 105: Linglong Pagoda III
The matter of Linglong Pagoda finally went to Emperor Rong.
The magnificent and majestic hall, six red lacquer dragon pillars support the complex and gorgeous dome, the throne is set up under the dome, the bronze tripod of the beast body is placed on both sides, and a jade step carved with a royal hunting map goes down step by step along the red lacquer railing, and suddenly stops not far in front of Liang Luan's forehead, isolating the monarch and ministers.
Liang Luan trembled and lay on the ground, beads of sweat rolling to the ground, reflecting the vague outline of this supreme but ruthless Changle Palace.
"Minister... The sin deserves death! Please forgive your majesty for three days, and the ministers will be able to picket those who are in the way! ”
"Three days?" Emperor Rong's eyes were cold, and his eyes fell on the person on the ground, and his eyebrows stretched into a straight line were full of the complicated mood of the Son of Heaven. He slowly spit out, but in the blink of an eye, he had changed his face, "Liang Qing doesn't need to worry, it's just a dead thing, just to block the mouths of the people, and the person who is in the way from it has to be found out and severely punished." ”
"Yes."
"It's up to you."
"Minister, you will live up to Your Majesty's trust and severely punish this person!"
Liang Luan got into the carriage, and as soon as he drove out of the last palace gate, someone blocked the way, this person was wearing a black cloak, and his face was hidden in his hat. He was not surprised, but gave up his seat.
"My lord, do you need help?" The voice came from the cloak, it was a woman.
Liang Luan was dismissive.
The black-robed man took off his hat, and his face was elegant, but this sense of oppression seemed to be able to kill. She looked at him with a smile: "I heard, you recommended Mo Xuan to Lord Mo?" ”
Liang Luan glanced at her, and felt strange at her appearance of never being able to smile: "She? When did I recommend her? Why do you recommend it? ”
"Adults don't have to pretend, what can escape the eyes of my Cloud City."
"No one knows about this except me, it seems that Lord Mo is too fond of you, and he is unguarded to let you come and go at will!" He glanced at the imperial city that was gradually moving away outside the fluttering curtains, "This is the imperial palace, you suddenly appeared and got into my carriage, you are trying to arouse suspicion?" What exactly do you want to do?! ”
"The three palace gates outside the imperial city are not all your soldiers." The white and flawless hand pressed the sideburns, "Although I don't know your plan, I can guess a thing or two." Among the princes, in addition to the crown prince, there are only the second prince, the third prince, and the youngest King Yao is loved by His Majesty. However, the second prince and the third prince had no intention of fighting, and King Yao was knighted early, and became an idle prince and a prince, and no one could shake it! If Lord Mo wants to control the future Rong Kingdom, he must control the crown prince, so he thought of Mo Xuan. Mo Xuan has a good look, knows martial arts, and has a weakness in the hands of Lord Mo, and he can't be obedient. Yes, Lord Liang. ”
Liang Luan lifted the curtains, the carriage had already driven out of the royal road and was heading towards the main street, he threw down the curtain and scolded viciously: "You slut who doesn't know life and death, do you know what you're talking about?!" ”
Jin Yuncheng picked the corner of his mouth: "One person is below ten thousand people, this is the real power over the world!" ”
Liang Luan stared at her: "You remember, you and Mo Xuan are both dead soldiers recruited by Lord Mo, since your name was engraved on the brand, you are destined to serve it in this life, there can be no objections, no two hearts!" Jinyun City, your master is extraordinary to you, you should be content. ”
"My lord, in order to repay the grace of knowledge, Yuncheng must be a liver and brain! If you change to other orders, Yuncheng and Mo Xuan will naturally obey the order, but Mo Xuan is still inexperienced, and she is from Yunlai Pavilion, most people in the court know her, if she rushes into the palace, it will be a bad plan, it is better to replace it with me, one, I am from the academy, the name is right, and the other is... Compared with Mo Xuan, I am naturally more able to bewitch the prince, isn't it safe? ”
Liang Luan thought to himself: If a geisha is really sent to the palace, the prince will be very useful, but I am afraid that those three generations of loyal ministers and princes will not agree, once the two parties confront each other, wouldn't it be unfavorable to Lord Mo?!
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Jinyun City, you are really thoughtful, but such a beauty was sent to the prince, tsk, I am really distressed." As she spoke, Liang Luan's hand quietly touched her shoulder, and the next moment, she was about to slip to her chest.
Jin Yuncheng tilted his body, just dodging: "The dead have their own mission, and the mission of Yuncheng is to enter the palace to serve Lord Mo, if Yuncheng is not finished, I am afraid that it will ruin Lord Mo's plan." ”
Liang Luan's fingers froze at her collarbone, and the touch of a dragonfly made him itch even more. But for the sake of the overall situation, no matter how uncomfortable it is, I have to endure it. Thinking about it like this, my heart became more and more unwilling.
"Mr. Jin, I just got the news, Liang Luan went to Yunlai Pavilion and bought the first night ...... of Miss Moxuan for a lot of money."
Liang Luan bought the first night of the Moxuan girl......
Jin Yuncheng woke up from the bed, his underwear was soaked with sweat, and his face was pale, as if he had just walked through a ghost gate.
That day, Suo Qingqiu's words were still back and forth in her ears, and even invaded her dreams to torture, piercing her heart every word, and asking for her life.
She can't leave her fate to death any longer, she can't wait any longer!
Suo Qingqiu pushed the door and entered, and saw her sweating profusely: "Sir, are you having a nightmare?" ”
"It's alright," she lifted the covers and stepped out of bed, "it's alright." ”
"Mo Xuan sent the letter again, this time she personally delivered the letter, seeing that her face was extremely bad, I am afraid that it is the matter of that day, she is still difficult to let go."
She glanced at the letter and burned it casually: "Tell her that from now on, let her not come to me, and don't hinder me from going to a high place." ”
Suo Qingqiu looked dazed: "Sir, ...... you"
"Let's get out."
The night was deep and silent, but Cloud City was a difficult night.
If she doesn't choose to come to Rongguo, will everything get better and better? Can Mo Xuan be like ordinary people, marry a wife, have a child, and live happily......
", where's Mo Xuan?"
raised their eyes and looked at Su Yan, their dissatisfaction was all exposed on their faces, they stopped what they were doing, and said to her: "If you don't come for many days, I will already be turned upside down here!" Mo Xuan was recently taken a fancy by Lord Liang, and he ordered her two times in three days, and I couldn't do a big business, but I was tripped by him! ”
The cup in Su Yan's hand was shocked, "What did you say?" What do you mean......"
sighed three times in a row: "Originally, I planned to only let her sell her art and not her body, she also thought so, how can we be small, our lives are cheap, and the official is the king!" Who would dare to resist! ”
"Lord Liang?"
The leaned on a few sides, and looked at her with a pair of sad eyes: "It's Liang Luanbei who I mentioned to you last time!" ”
Su Yan felt weird, why did he get involved with him recently?
"You said, Mo Xuan's piano skills are famous far and wide, and a piece of music can be sold for a high price! Not to mention the attendant, but he Liang Luan bought her for several nights at the price of other Qinglou, why? The girls here are all carefully chosen, how can they let him spoil them! The eased her breath and said, "Besides, my Mo Xuan is a girl from a big family in Jiangnan, unlike ordinary people, even if he is at a high price, I can't sell it casually!" I'm so angry with my mother! ”
Su Yan remembered the troubles of Linglong Pagoda at this time, and didn't listen to' words at all, so he only said: "Then you can think of a way in the future, and if you can, you can hide." ”
Seeing her wandering, couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
Su Yan was slightly stunned, and a pair of eyes immediately became vigilant: "How do you know?" ”
"I'm a mix of dragons and snakes here, I don't need to ask for news, I send it to the door myself, it's hard to listen if I don't want to!"
Su Yan relaxed a little at this time, and smiled awkwardly: "I see, I thought it was ......"
"Why do you think so? Think I'm sending someone to spy on you? Can you save some snacks, my little Su Yan,, I'm so busy that I still have time to take care of you? It really makes no sense! ”
Su Yan's suspicious expression appeared and disappeared on his face, and he smiled: "How could I think so, it's just a casual joke!" ”
"Well... I thought you..."hurriedly adjusted, "The matter of the Linglong Tower, have you ever asked you to take charge?" ”
"I thought that the enemy wanted to use my hand to test Zuo Qing, but now it seems that he wants to borrow my hand to frame Changsun Yue!"
"Who did you find out?"
"Now the biggest enemy of the eldest grandson family, who else can there be besides Mo Fei who can't eat fat."
frowned: "So I made a trick of planting and blaming the blame, and I didn't even let go of a child like Changsun Yue...... Damn it! ”
Su Yan stood up and said, "But these are my guesses, and it's hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood." , I know you're well-informed, do me a favor. ”
Lang Shan Yuan, South Lake.
Bamboo curtains hang down on all sides of the gazebo, alternating day and night, with a gentle breeze and no sense of dryness. Ah Yu sat cross-legged on the mat, picked grapes from the fruit bowl and ate, taking a sip of grapes and a sip of tea, all undisturbed by the tense atmosphere of the academy.
"Ah Yan, you enjoy it so much!"
As soon as Ah Yu heard the voice, he knew who it was, and he jumped up as soon as he brushed it, and smirked: "Shizi, why are you here, my husband is not a guest today." ”
Xilou closed the folding fan, tapped her on the shoulder, and smiled: "That's for others, I'm different." ”
Just as he was about to enter the courtyard, Ah Yan hurriedly got up and stopped him: "Let Ah Yan go and report, and the prince will sit here." ”
"No need, when you come and go, I'm afraid I'm going to suffocate here."
"How can you be aggrieved when it's so cool here? My husband is still washing up at this time, wouldn't it be offensive for you to enter as a big man, Ah Yu is also thinking about you! ”
Xilou was helpless: "Let's go, you go and report." ”
A pair of dirty hands rubbed on his waist, and then turned to report, before he took two steps, a gust of wind swept up around him, and when he turned back, he had already disappeared from the West Building. Ah Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he reacted, he screamed angrily to chase the gust of wind.
Su Yan had already put on three plates of pulp, poured two glasses of sake, and said with a smile: "Listening to Ah Yu scolding you in front of me with a disgusted face, I can't help but think, you are a royal nobleman, and you hold an important position, how can you become the object of Ah Yan's hatred in the hearts of many women." ”
"It's hard to put into words!" Xilou smiled helplessly.
Today's Guluan Pavilion is very different from usual, the tea table for guests has been changed to the inside of the main entrance, and you can enjoy the sunset, the candlelight swaying in the corridor, and the lotus leaves in the pond. The west building leaned on a few and was admiring, but suddenly heard the sound of porcelain, and saw that it was Ah Yu, and hurriedly said attentively: "I came to visit at this time, and it was really disturbing, not only disturbing Ah Yan, but also troublesome Ah Yan." At the beginning of next month, the Wan Chao house will be at the bottom, and some of the more than five years of not used storage will be given to officials above the fifth grade, although it is an abandoned thing, but the objects that can enter the Wan Chao house are rare in the market, I will pay attention to you! ”
Ah Yan's eyes lit up: "Baby? ”
The west building nodded solemnly.
Ah Huanyue: "Then I will pick it myself!" ”
"It's up to you."
flattered, Ah Yu was successfully bought. Xilou put away his courteous face, twisted his mouth and said, "It's strange, it's not the first time I've come, why did she suddenly look unkind to me." ”
Su Yan took a sip of wine and said: "Who let you break in, I told her before, anyone who comes to me when they shouldn't come will refuse, if you break in, you will be a bad person...... Oh, I warned you about that, forgot? ”
"Did you say that?"
"You're old, go back and make up for your brain! I've got some pills here, why don't you take them for half a year first?" Su Yan picked out some candied fruit and handed it to him, "Say, what can make you risk being kicked out by Ah Yan to come to me?" ”
Xilou didn't go to pick up the candied fruit, looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Your Majesty issued an order to order Liang Luan to solve the case within three days and find out who is behind the scenes." Shuyoutang has been sealed, and the people from the Criminal Department are guarding and interrogating you day and night, maybe tomorrow morning, someone will come to check you. ”
Su Yan's hand slowly retracted, and the whole person fell into decay in an instant: "Sure enough, it is a trap, Liang Luan has designed it from the beginning, waiting for the prey to jump in." I shouldn't have tried it knowing that there was a trap, and the result was ...... Now it's all in! ”
"I don't know." He seemed to have a way, and his expression was very indifferent, "Liang Luan has set a trap for Shu Youtang, but it doesn't necessarily mean that your students will be beaten into tricks, trumped-up charges, who will admit these children of the official family." ”
Su Yan suddenly had confidence: "As long as they refuse to admit their guilt, they can delay time, I have already entrusted someone to investigate the Liang Mansion, since he wants to frame him, he will definitely leave evidence." ”
"But you're about to share the woes with your students." Xilou ate the pulp and looked at her with a smile.
Su Yan looked at him, his heart was clear, and he got up and said: "Everything, it's bothering you." ”
Outside the Xinghan Pavilion, Zuo Qing paced through the woods, and finally stopped under a tree, looking at the branches and pondering for a long time.
Yan Sheng came to report, saying that the manager of the account found that there was a problem with the accounts last month, and he came to ask for instructions. Zuo Qing turned his eyes to look at the figure outside the courtyard, hesitated for a while, and then let people in.
The account manager held the account book but did not mean to present it, but looked at Zuo Qing anxiously and did not speak. Zuo Qing waved his hand, motioned for Yan Sheng to go down, and brought the person into the Xinghan Pavilion before asking, "Steward Lin, but did you bring a message for someone?" ”
Steward Lin was dumbfounded, and stumbled for a long time before he said, "Lord in charge... You are ......"
"Sit down and have a cup of tea." Zuo Qing smiled and said kindly, "If you guessed correctly, Lord Changsun is your master, you came to help him ask for help today, and it is naturally Changsun Yue who saved him." ”
"Don't dare to deceive your lord, the humble position is indeed sent by the eldest grandson, but how can the lord see through it?" Steward Lin wiped a cold sweat, he didn't dare to look at him, he always felt that the young man sitting in front of him, his eyes could see through people's hearts.
Zuo Qing took a small teapot from the tea case and held it in his hand, and said to him: "The eldest grandson's family has changed three account managers, one is at the end of his life, and the other is sent to the criminal department for committing a crime. The eldest grandson values you without controversy, so he found a ghost to die for you, and then helped you change your name and surname, and arranged for you to enter the academy. Originally, I wouldn't have known about this, but your case is very strange, as if you have done something to it, so I looked it up curiously. ”
Steward Lin was horrified. When Lord Changsun falsified the case, he thought that the fewer records the safer, but he didn't think that it would arouse Zuo Qing's suspicions, but ...... Why did Zuo Qing notice himself, this little-known little person?
He didn't have time to ponder, knelt on the ground, and truthfully confessed: "Back then, the eldest grandson was framed namelessly, but the eldest grandson had become the secretary of the criminal department at that time, and I was able to escape." Now, Miss Changsun is in trouble, and I will do the work of dogs and horses! The more Steward Lin spoke, the more excited he became, he knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord in charge, Lord Changsun knows that you are in trouble, but it is a matter of human life, please help!" ”
Zuo Qing helped him up, "If I am in alliance with the eldest grandson, I will not die without help, but this matter is very wide-ranging, so I have to reconsider and discuss it from scratch." ”
"What do you mean, willing to help?" His eyes were extremely bright.
Zuo Qing nodded: "It's just that I still need to wait for a news, and when it arrives, there may be a turnaround." ”
"If you don't wait..."
"Then there's really no way out."
Steward Lin was paralyzed on the ground, sorrow came from it, but the next moment, he quickly got up, bowed his back deeply, and pushed his hand to salute, "I believe that the lord in charge can turn the tide, and he will definitely do it." ”
Zuo Qing looked at his heartfelt appearance and couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration.
