Chapter 71: Look at each other
Pingkang Fang, Right Prime Minister's House.
Li Linfu couldn't sleep well during the day, and only slept for more than an hour before turning over and getting up, and asked people to ask about Yang Shenjin's case.
Li Daodi, the secretary of Dali Temple, gave him face, and quickly asked people to send the dossier, and he was greatly surprised after reading it.
"How so? How dare you connect all the reasons and plant them in Yang Shenjin? Wouldn't the case be closed soon?! ”
- The case is closed, how can Ben Xiang take the opportunity to deal with Donggong?!
"Right Minister, this dossier is the ...... decided by the sage himself"
Li Linfu was uncertain because of this, knowing that he was caught off guard by the East Palace, and the aftermath of the Liu Tao case and the Longyou death case ended from then on.
The point is, what exactly did the saints think? just refused to abolish the prince.
He hated to be able to enter the palace in person to make a statement, "The saint is too confused! Li Heng is filial piety on the surface, but in fact he is vicious and ruthless, and he is by no means a good prince. ”
sent someone to inquire again, but learned that the sage had summoned Xue Bai before he made a decision.
It's Xue Bai again.
After that, Princess Xianyi sent someone to send the deed he wanted to see to the right prime minister's mansion.
"On June 9, the twenty-fifth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the supervisor of the Shaofu Mansion said that Xue Pingzhao, the son of Xue Rust, sat against the crime, was five years old, and was now betrayed to Tan Wan, the wife of the Zhang family, ......"
Li Linfu didn't recognize the word "婜", frowned slightly, and then looked at the record of the second deed, it was the fifth winter moon of Tianbao, which was sold to Princess Xianyi from the Tan family.
He took a closer look and found that Tan's two handprints were not the same...... It shows that it is not the Tan family that sold Xue Pingzhao, and Princess Xianyi's purchase of official slaves this time is not in line with the Tang Law regulations at all.
I was thinking about who I was going to hand it over, and someone was passing it out the door.
"Ah Lang, Xue Ling and his son Xue Bai are visiting."
"Do what?"
"Say yes...... said that he was here to hire a relative. ”
Li Linfu was slightly stunned, and quickly understood what Xue Bai meant, this is to give the Right Prime Minister's Mansion a decent look.
However, Li Linfu was narrow-minded, and after receiving this kindness, he became more and more jealous in his heart, and said secretly: "This son still has this city, and it will be a big disaster in the future, and it must be eliminated." ”
Of course, if Xue Bai doesn't come, he will be even more jealous when someone chews the root of the tongue of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in the future.
That is, there are too many people to kill now, Li Heng, Wang Zhongsi, Li Shizhi, Pei Kuan...... Xue Bai, an official slave, can't be in front of him here, and he will talk about it when Yang Wei finds out the mastermind behind it.
~~
"Seventeen Niang!"
Mian'er ran through the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and hurriedly ran into the boudoir, "Seventeen Niang, Xue Langjun has come to propose!" ”
The little maid didn't know about the change in this marriage, her eyes were bright, and her face was full of joy.
Jiaonu was thinking about why not to send himself over to stare at Xue Bai, when he heard the words, he stood up.
Li Tengkong was still in a daze, and when he heard the news, his eyes widened in surprise, and he ran straight out.
She had actually conveyed Xue Bai's words to Grandpa, "Whether there is a grudge or not lies in the right minister", and said that Xue Bai did not have the slightest resentment, and what Princess Xianyi said must have been wrong.
All I got was a slap in the face.
"Idiot, the more he seems to have no resentment, the more he can see that he is vicious!"
But Xue Bai still came to propose, and she really hoped that Grandpa could meet him.
Maybe she is too easy to trust Xue Bai, but she still has a chance in case, if Grandpa can be persuaded by him, even if she is only tolerant and open-minded this time in this life......
"Grandpa!"
"Seventeen Niang, go back."
A few healthy women came back from the other side of the path, and directly took the thin Li Tengkong to the boudoir.
"The person who came to hire has been driven away by Ah Lang, and Ah Lang has grounded you for a month."
Li Tengkong couldn't struggle, looking at the vast Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't feel any freedom.
Her grandfather really won't change......
~~
Xue Bai glanced at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and led the horse away.
Although it was an unexpected break with Li Linfu, it will be even more dangerous in the future. But leaving Suo Douji, he felt a lot more relaxed.
Xue Ling was very disappointed and kept yelling.
"My Xue family is also a famous family......
"Are you going to gamble again?" Xue Bai walked a little in the direction of Qingmen, turned around and asked, "If I let you quit gambling, can you quit?" ”
Xue Ling smiled perfunctorily and said, "I'm just going to Qingmen to have a small gathering with friends. ”
Xue Bai knew that this kind of person would not be able to change until he died, and he had nothing to say, so he rode his horse away.
"Rokuro, when are you moving back home?"
Xue Ling shouted, swept the blanket on the back of the thin horse, and thought that with the capital, he would make a windfall tonight and buy back all the houses that were cut and sold!
~~
Xue Bai turned over and dismounted near a fire-looking tower in the Qingmen Restaurant, and was still arranging the reins, when someone called behind him.
"Xue Langjun."
Xue Bai turned around and saw Tian Shengong, and said with a smile: "After the New Year's Festival, you changed your armor?" Pretty. ”
"Hehe, thanks to Lang Jun's support."
"I'm having an awkward relationship with the right minister, don't get too close to me for the time being."
Xue Bai whispered and handed over a large piece of gold.
Tian Shengong didn't answer, and said in a low voice: "It's just a trivial matter of adding two pairs of chopsticks......"
"Take it, find a matchmaker for Shenyu, and tell me if the dowry is not enough."
Xue Bai's tone was indispensable, Tian Shengong was not pretentious, he gritted his teeth and accepted it, and his eyes were different.
"Gone. You have been patrolling less near Fengwei Building recently, so be more distancing. ”
"Okay."
Xue Bai confessed again and led the horse away.
Tian Shengong walked into the Wanghuo Tower, glanced at a few comrades, and whispered to himself: "If you offend the right minister, what else do you have to do with you?" ”
Xue Bai turned into the Daozheng Workshop, walked to the vicinity of Fengwei Building, and casually glanced around, and a passerby who was looking at him turned his face to avoid his gaze.
At this time, before the banquet began, Du Wulang was sitting in the hall talking to a few shopkeepers, with a sad face.
Xue Bai hadn't seen him reading for a long time.
"Hey, why are you here?"
"I did something in Pingkangfang, I passed by, and I came to see you."
"yes." Du Wulang said: "I'm worried, this evening was originally a banquet ordered by the king of the household department, but I heard that it was his cousin who rebelled last night, and I don't know if this banquet will be held, and I won't send someone to say it." ”
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter."
Xue Bai turned his head and saw a middle-aged man walking into the hall, so he said, "You are busy with yours, give me a private room." ”
"Huh? Didn't you come to see me? ”
……
Xue Bai sat in the private room for a while.
Pei Mian pushed the door in and said, "How about talking in a different place?" ”
"Nope."
Xue Bai raised his hand, invited Pei Mian to sit down, raised the cup filled with clear water and lifted a cup, "I haven't congratulated you on the success of your plan, presumably those cases will be over soon." ”
"It's a pity that there are still some hidden dangers that have not been eliminated."
"Me too." Xue Bai said: "My identity has been exposed, and Li Linfu wants to kill me." Otherwise, Donggong would have given me your life last night. ”
It won't be long before Wang Ji will know about this matter, and he is too lazy to hide it from Pei Mian.
Pei Mian's eyes froze, and he said lightly: "You said you have two witnesses in your hand?" This can only scare Li Jingzhong. They have been poisoned by the hook and are dead. ”
"Tempt me? It doesn't have to be so troublesome, I can tell you directly. ”
Xue Bai casually took out two objects and showed them to Pei Mian.
One is the brand that Pei Mian gave to Lao Liang, which was used to frame Yang Shenjin, and there is also a prescription, which is known at a glance to relieve the poison of the hook kiss.
"People are hiding in this restaurant?"
"I thought you were smart." Xue Bai remained silent, "You don't have to be too hostile to us, although we are not a member of the East Palace, we can cooperate with the East Palace for a long time to come." ”
Pei Mian noticed that he said it was "we", but he didn't know whether he was referring to him and the Du family or with the concubine.
"Donggong doesn't need to cooperate with people, and you don't deserve it."
"I want you to do two things." Xue Bai said to himself, "First, bring me the family members of Lao Liang and the Jiang brothers. Second, Li Linfu must check my background and ask him to hand it over to you to investigate. ”
Pei Mian couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "I'm just an eight-rank petty official, you let me do this?" ”
"Now you know that you are a petty official of the eighth grade? How come you don't know when you keep the dead? ”
Saying that, Xue Bai leaned forward slightly, giving Pei Mian a sense of oppression, and said, "When I don't know how you instigated Wang Ji to frame Yang Shenjin?" Wang Ji is about to become the middle of the imperial history, and you, a meritorious hero, will definitely be promoted to supervise the imperial history, aren't you? ”
Pei Mian's eyes closed, and he was surprised that the young man in front of him had such a keen sense of smell.
~~
In the courtyard of the house next to the Fengwei Building, Da Xi Yingying hurried to the side hall.
A decadent middle-aged man was sitting there, it was Li Xuan.
"Why is Ah Lang here?"
Da Xi Yingying smiled charmingly and sat down in Li Xuan's arms.
Li Xuan raised his hand to block her, and sighed: "I've stayed up all night in Calyx Tower, I'm really tired today." ”
His face was dark, and he was indeed very tired, and could not stand the torture of this woman.
"Then Ah Lang came because of something."
"Yes, after the banquet was over, I let my mother and Yang Wei stop me for most of the day." Li Xuan said: "I need you to help me check someone...... Xue Bai. ”
"Xue Bai?"
"This person may also be named Xue Pingzhao, this is a document that was too cheap to make a deed when buying and selling official slaves at that time."
Da Xi Yingying listened carefully to the details, including Xue Bai's recognition of relatives in front of the palace, and then looked at the document carefully, she frowned and asked, "Why didn't you use the handprint and the letter seal of the government office?" ”
"Brother Li is leaving, you can check the transcript." Li Xuan said, "I have to go, you know the rules of the Ten Kings' Mansion." ”
"The slave family sends Ah Lang ......"
Da Xi Yingying looked at Li Xuan's back, but sighed slightly, and beckoned his subordinate Shi Zhong.
"Do you have an impression of Xue Ling's name?"
"Yes, the villain forgets no one and never forgets him." Shi Zhong shook his head and smiled: "A gambler, he still owes a lot of debts to the gambling house. ”
"Let's see if he's gambling today? If he comes, let him go bankrupt. ”
While talking, Da Xi Yingying walked up to the attic, looked at Fengwei Building, and saw a young man leading a horse away, which reminded her of Cui Zongzhi, Cen Shen, Liu Changqing, and Cui Hao who had been in and out in the past few years......
~~
The sky darkened quickly, and Chang'an City lit a lantern again.
When Xue Bai walked to Fanyang Lu's big lantern, Du Youlin and his wife had already arrived, but Lu Fengniang's face was slightly embarrassed.
Her cousin had already taken his daughter to Pingkangfang, but on the way, he heard that "Xue Bai, who wrote "The Qingyu Case" in front of the emperor, proposed to the right and was rejected", so he turned back.
It's not that I don't like this marriage because of this, but it's not a good time to see each other, and Fan Yang Lu has always disliked attracting attention...... It must be known that last year's Wei Jian case occurred on the Shangyuan Festival.
Only let Lu Fengniang not know how to speak.
"Xue Bai, you're here, have you eaten it?"
"After eating, it looks better at this lantern." Xue Bai looked at the lantern of the Lu family and nodded, "It's worth the trip." ”
Lu Fengniang knew that he hadn't understood the meaning of her words, so she relaxed, turned her head to Du Youlin and said, "Lang Jun, you also wrote a poem, right?" ”
Du Youlin snorted impatiently, groaned with his hands, and even chanted a song.
"The spark of Chang'an shines on the Lantern Festival, and the ten miles of lanterns are all over the place. took advantage of the moon to see the words under the lamp, and the old eyes suddenly realized that the young man was far away. ”
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it seems that everyone can compose poems during this Tianbao year.
Xue Bai praised a few good words and followed the couple to play.
He originally planned to rest at home, but tonight he was actually forced to travel, but after shopping for a while, he gradually integrated into the atmosphere of this Shangyuan Festival.
Everywhere you can see a little lady wearing a colorful skirt, or holding a fan, or carrying a lantern, adding countless colors to this lantern festival.
The crowd across the street suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with extraordinary posture and elegant manners, wearing just an ordinary robe, but he had a sense of righteousness and iron.
Xue Bai was still thinking about when he had met each other, and Du Youlin had already whispered to Lu Fengniang: "The old man seems to have seen Yan Shaofu. ”
Shaofu is the reputation of the county lieutenant, and from this, Xue Bai immediately remembered who it was - Yan Zhenqing, the lieutenant of Chang'an County.
He turned and followed.
After looking for a while, I saw Yan Zhenqing at the side of a stall, stroking his beard and looking at the anagrams, Xu Yu handed the vendor a string of money, answered more than ten anagrams, and took a beautiful lantern from the vendor.
Xue Bai stepped forward, and saw that the vendor was about to knead more than ten pieces of paper, so he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Wait."
"Lang Jun can guess the word puzzle, guess two for one penny, guess sixteen and send a lantern."
Xue Bai took out a large string of money and said with a smile: "I can't guess, can you sell these to me, I'll learn from them." ”
The vendor was overjoyed, for fear that the little man would regret it, so he hurriedly handed over the anagram paper with the answer and took the money.
Xue Bai took a look, and first saw a column of handwriting that was about the same level as him, writing "Right and wrong is just to open more", and when he looked down, it was the word "bandit" in regular script.
Although it is just a bandit, it is strong and awe-inspiring.
I glanced at each one of them, and then turned my head, only to see Yan Zhenqing guessing in front of the next stall again, and Xue Bai followed again.
……
A lantern was handed to Yan Zhenqing, but he already had four in his hand, which was not easy to hold.
So he turned around and said, "Young man, what are you doing with the old man?" ”
The young man who was looking through the note in his hand turned around, stepped forward to salute, and said: "Yan Shaofu Shangyuan Ankang, the younger generation likes Yan Shaofu's words, so he ......"
"Take it."
Before Xue Bai's words fell, the two lanterns had been handed to him, and Yan Zhenqing said with a smile: "Help the old man take it, come to the Chang'an County Ya when it is empty, and give you a copybook." ”
"Thank you Yan Shaofu."
Xue Bai took the lantern, and the eight coins were handed over again.
Yan Zhenqing said: "Would it be good to guess a lantern for the old man?" ”
"Okay."
Xue Bai immediately went to find an anagram stall, first spent eight articles, but he guessed two wrongly, so he had to spend another one.
Yan Zhenqing added another lantern in his hand, came to take a look, and realized that not everyone could guess it all, so he handed over another penny.
Xue Bai smiled, didn't stick to it, and accepted it directly.
At this time, a beautiful woman happened to turn around, saw Yan Zhenqing, hurriedly stepped forward to take over the object in his hand for him, pursed her lips and smiled: "Lang Jun, you have been tricked, Sanniang started to guess from here, and all the lanterns here were taken away by her." ”
"Well, I'm willing to lose."
Yan Zhenqing stroked his beard and smiled, quite happy.
He took the lantern from Xue Bai's hand and said, "Don't forget to come to the old man to ask for a calligraphy." ”
Xue Bai saw that he had brought his family, so it was inconvenient to disturb him more, so he saluted and said goodbye.
Looking at the many authentic works of Yan Zhenqing in his hand, he felt that Shangyuan Lantern would be full of harvest.
Temporarily away from those power struggles, the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty can really be regarded as what really catches his eye.
