Chapter 20, The Blue Dragon Army
After seeing Sui Hong save Bai Yueyue, Bai Qiurui didn't notice that Han Muze was following the little guy, and she looked surprised.
I only feel that my own master seems to have changed his sex today, and he is so good at talking to a strange woman for the first time.
At this moment, Bai Qiurui saw the man with the folding fan from before walking forward, and greeted Han Muze with a smile.
"The prince is so Yaxing today, why did you want to swim in the lake?"
looked at each other's casual and natural appearance, as if he had already known Han Muze.
I saw Han Muze looking at the man and said with a smile: "There is Yaxing today, isn't Brother Huaiyuan also among them?" ”
Subsequently, Han Muze instructed someone to take care of Bai Yueyue, who had fallen into the water, and left with the man named 'Huaiyuan' without looking back.
A group of girls around looked at Han Muze's departing figure reluctantly, and only when they couldn't see their backs at all did they whisper again.
Bai Qiurui stayed where she was as early as when Han Muze called the man's name 'Huaiyuan'.
Huaiyuan, who else in the whole of Kyoto can be called Huaiyuan?
Only the original husband in the original book, the second son of Pingyuan Houfu, is called Zhou Huaiyuan!
Bai Qiurui never expected that the person she should have met in her own mansion would actually let her meet her in King Ning's mansion.
thought that if it was contrary to the plot in the original book, he could avoid Zhou Huaiyuan. Now it seems that she really can't hide, but she still ran into it by mistake.
After thinking for a while, Bai Qiurui had to make up her mind to avoid Zhou Huaiyuan as much as possible, and the farther away the better.
Sui Hong and Bai Yueyue had already been taken down to change their clothes, Bai Qiurui walked out of the crowd, and Xiao Mingyu opened her mouth with palpitations at this time.
"My sister is a little impulsive, if the son of the world blames it, how can it be good."
Bai Qiurui didn't think there was anything before, but now after Xiao Mingyu said it, she was also a little scared in her heart.
She does seem to be a little impulsive, if she falls into the lake today, she is afraid that Bai Yueyue will not only not speak for herself, but may also gloat on the side.
Just because she is a person in the new era, it is difficult for her to be so cold to the scenes that endanger her life.
Pressing the thoughts in her heart, Bai Qiurui smiled reluctantly: "It's a matter of human life, how can I be indifferent, fortunately, isn't the son of the world not to blame." ”
Xiao Mingyu nodded, thinking of the appearance of Han Muze, the son of the world, and his heart was like a deer bumping into him, and he couldn't help but feel a little shy.
Bai Qiurui didn't pay attention to Xiao Mingyu's expression, she heard someone calling her name, and turned around to find that it was Sui Hong.
She changed her clothes, and she was still some distance away, and she was reaching out to greet her.
"Miss Sui, why did you come out so quickly, just got into the cold water, be careful of your body."
Seeing Sui Hong rush to his side, Bai Qiurui said with concern, and then saluted.
"I haven't thanked the girl for sacrificing her life to save her, so I thank you here."
Sui Hong was straightforward, and she couldn't stand these red tape the most, so she hurriedly waved her hand to let Bai Qiurui get up.
Seeing that Bai Qiurui's manners were thorough and her appearance was also first-class, Sui Hong seemed to understand a little why Brother Shen Yuan would specially let him come over.
The group left the Streamer Lake and discussed finding a place to rest for a while.
Halfway through, Sui Hong suddenly talked about the case of ghost soldiers' murder.
"Does the white girl know about the ghost soldier murder case that has been circulating in Beijing recently?"
Xiao Mingyu, who was following beside her, lost color when she heard this, and Bai Qiurui nodded as usual.
"I've heard my dad mention it in recent days, it is said that someone deliberately used ghost soldiers to kill people and disturb people's hearts, but it is true that several people have suffered mishaps."
Sui Hong saw Bai Qiurui's calm and calm appearance, and compared with Xiao Mingyu's frightened look, she felt more and more that she was different from ordinary ladies.
She continued: "Then do you know what the ghost soldier described by the person who witnessed the appearance of the ghost soldier with his own eyes? ”
This can be asked about Bai Qiurui, and she was stunned for a moment. Since the murder of the ghost soldiers, she has not paid special attention to the so-called 'ghost soldiers' who appear out of thin air at night.
Sui Hong is Gu Yi's sister, and Gu Yi is close friends with Shen Yuan, and the news she gets can only come from Shen Yuan.
Could it be that Shen Yuan not only checked the four victims, but even the ghost soldier who pretended to be a ghost carefully investigated?
Thinking of this, Bai Qiurui shook her head honestly, she really didn't pay attention to the ghost soldier itself.
Seeing this, Sui Hong whispered, "Have you heard of the Blue Dragon Army?" ”
"The Blue Dragon Army?"
Bai Qiurui saw Sui Hong's taboo and secretive appearance, and couldn't help but recall the plot in the original book in her mind.
After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly found that the Qinglong Army that Sui Hong was talking about had been taken to Zhao Prison for collaborating with the enemy five years ago.
Generals, big and small, all raided their homes and destroyed their homes, and none of them survived.
Sui Hong mentioned this well, could it be that the appearance of the ghost soldier was actually the costume of the Blue Dragon Army?
Is there any connection between the Qinglong Army's collaboration with the enemy five years ago and today's case?
Xiao Mingyu, who was on the side, saw that the topic of Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong had already touched on the topic of ghost soldiers, murder, and beheading, and his face turned white with fright.
"Two sisters, we might as well change to another chat. This is another murder and a ghost soldier, which sounds terrifying. ”
Bai Qiurui has been caring about this case, and now that she heard the latest developments, how could she change the topic.
In the end, Xiao Mingyu had to say that he couldn't listen to this, so he went around casually, leaving Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong's master and servant.
"Miss Sui, is there a connection between this case today and the Qinglong Army case five years ago?"
Bai Qiurui remembered that the general situation of the Qinglong Army was mentioned in the original book, and the Qinglong Army was the most elite army in the hands of the Kyoto Emperor five years ago. Once fought on the border, invincible, and powerful.
The commander of the Qinglong Army is named Meng Chang'an, and he is the emperor's most trusted confidant general. The family is all loyal to the country, and they can be described as full of loyalty.
But such a general, in the border war five years ago, it was rumored that the commander colluded with the enemy generals and intended to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason.
Subsequently, the emperor received a top-secret letter from the frontier, the contents of which were unknown.
I only know that after the emperor read the letter, he was furious, and even sent two other elite troops to the frontier.
The commander of the two armies was named Wei Yuanlong, who took over the elite soldiers under Meng Chang'an, and personally escorted all the generals of the Qinglong Army into Beijing after pacifying the frontier in accordance with the holy edict.
Three months later, the commander of the Qinglong Army was conclusive and treasonous, and the case was tried by the three divisions, and finally all the people were beheaded for public display.
Thinking about the cause and effect, Bai Qiurui only heard Sui Hong say: "The specific situation is not clear, but many people are faintly spreading that it is said that the Qinglong Army was wronged for collaborating with the enemy and treason. ”
"Brother Shen said that he saw the ghost soldiers walking in front of him with his own eyes, and now he says that the Qinglong Army was wronged back then, and now he is back to take revenge."
Sui Hong whispered, looking at her with a look of disbelief.
Bai Qiurui couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw her calling Shen Yuan one by one Brother Shen, and Sui Hong remembered that she hadn't reported herself yet.
She smiled dryly, a little embarrassed to reveal her identity.
Bai Qiurui listened to her words and realized that Sui Hong was actually an orphan.
She was abandoned on the street when she was still an infant, and it was Gu Yi's father who saw her by chance and adopted her until now.
Judging from Sui Hong's name, Bai Qiurui thought that she and Gu Yi might be cousins, but she never thought that she had such a pitiful background.
Bai Qiurui saw Sui Hong's heroic and uninhibited posture, and after getting along for a while, she really felt that she was a good girl.
Seeing that she had unintentionally poked other people's sadness, she was a little apologetic: "Miss Sui, I didn't know you had such a background, I'm sorry ......"
Sui Hong smiled and shook her head, her face looked as usual, but there was a flash of loneliness in her eyes.
"It's okay, I heard that when my father found me, there were only two words Sui Hong left in my small cloth bag, and my father named it for me."
After saying a few words, Sui Hong put the topic back on the case, she wanted to know what Bai Qiurui thought about the Qinglong Army's uneasy soul and coming back to take revenge.
"Ghosts and gods are all false, but someone is pretending to be a ghost in secret."
Bai Qiurui pondered for a moment and said: "If this case is related to the case of that year, it is true that the Qinglong Army really suffered a false injustice five years ago, then it may be done by someone in the army back then to avenge the revenge of the year." ”
Sui Hong listened to Bai Qiurui's analysis with relish, and suddenly smiled at the end and said: "I didn't expect that you, a boudoir daughter, first discussed the case with me without changing her face, and looked at your appearance, and she was quite similar to Brother Shen. ”
When Bai Qiurui heard this, she said angrily: "Who wants to be like him!" ”
It wasn't until the words came out of her mouth that she realized what she had said.
Seeing Sui Hong looking at herself with an inquiring gaze, Bai Qiurui immediately regretted it.
However, at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and something suddenly came to mind.
If the case back then was an unjust case, combined with the several officials who have died now, they seem to have a common thread that connects all of them.
The three officials who died in front of them seem to have no connection, but according to the current situation, they are related!
If all this is true, then the few officials who died are all criminal officers, and it is possible that they are the officials who reviewed the case of treason against the enemy of the Qinglong Army back then!
That way, it all makes sense!
The only suspicion is that the fourth person who died was not a criminal officer, but a good prostitute.
Could it be that there is still something hidden in the case back then?
Bai Qiurui was too fascinated by what she thought, and Sui Hong beside her called her several times but didn't hear it. It wasn't until the other party patted her on the shoulder that she suddenly came back to her senses.
Sui Hong asked Bai Qiurui with a smile: "What do you think, so engrossed?" ”
Bai Qiurui is now eager to know who the final presiding officer of the case was. But she can't get out now, and there is no way to do it.
At this time, Xiao Mingyu came back. Let Bai Qiurui and Sui Hong go to the Lanyue Pavilion together, the banquet is about to start.
Bai Qiurui had no choice but to shake her head and say that she was fine, and the group walked towards the Lanyue Pavilion.
