Chapter 304: The Seed of Ignorance
Qian Qian's handwriting, Fang Muyang will not admit it.
Stroking the pebbles in his palm, he could even vaguely feel Sissi's temperature.
Ayimu on the bed turned his back and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's only been more than two months since I came to Hu Yulou."
"When I first arrived, Sissi was very nice to me."
"I've never seen such a happy girl in the green building."
"Later, I heard that she was going to be ransomed, and I was worried about whether she had been deceived."
"On the day of her accident, I happened to pass by her room after practicing dance, and happened to meet Zhao Si and Hou San running out covered in blood."
"I was worried that Sissi went in to check it out, and I saw that she slit her throat with scissors, and blood ran down her neck."
"She was holding the scissors with one hand and the placket with the other, and when she saw me, she began to dig into her arms."
"I quickly covered the wound on her neck, but the bleeding couldn't stop at all, I don't understand the magic of your Daxing people to stop the bleeding, maybe I will......"
Fang Muyang knew at this moment that Ayimu had also witnessed the tragedy that happened that night.
Hearing Ayimu say this, Fang Muyang said with difficulty:
"I can't do it either, maybe Master's silver needle can save Sissi."
Fang Muyang can slow down the speed of blood loss through the acupoints, but he is still unable to return to the sky.
Hearing Fang Muyang's answer, Ayimu continued:
Sissi handed me the pebbles in her arms, and looked at me with supplication until at last her eyes lost all their brilliance.
"It was less than ten seconds before and after, and I heard the voice of Zhou's mother bringing someone over outside the door, so I left quietly."
"I didn't know who the 'Muyang' on the cobblestones was until you kidnapped me on the night of the Oiran parade."
"Originally, I didn't want to give you this stone, I don't think you deserve it."
"Well, now, it's nothing to give it back to you."
After saying this, Ayimu stopped talking, and after folding the quilt, he pretended to sleep there again.
Fang Muyang silently put the pebbles on his heart, and said softly to Ayimu:
"Thank you."
Ayimu, who had her back to them, had already closed her eyes, but a small piece of wet patches had been wet on her pillow.
"Sissi, I've delivered your stuff."
"You can see that a man's eyes are okay."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ayimu's mouth, and then he fell into a deep sleep.
Li Xuan looked at Ayimu who fell asleep again on the bed, and couldn't help but feel that this guy was also an interesting person.
After Fang Muyang put away the pebbles that Qian Qian had left for him, he sat back at the table.
He then slowly took off the "Thousand People and Thousand Faces" on his face, and then took out another human skin mask from his arms.
"Give you back these two human skin masks."
Li Xuan first put away a human skin mask, and when it was the turn of "Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces", he looked up at Fang Muyang.
As a result, Fang Muyang shook his head and said:
"Sissi's appearance is imprinted in my heart, I remember, I remember it clearly, so I don't need this thing."
Li Xuan nodded and put away "thousands of people and thousands of faces".
He originally wanted to leave Fang Muyang for two more days, but it seemed that he had thought too much.
Fang Muyang does not need "thousands of people and thousands of faces".
After Li Xuan confirmed that Fang Muyang had nothing else to help him with, he said goodbye and left.
It's almost noon now, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid Princess Ankang will be in a hurry.
On the way back, Li Xuan was also thinking about Fang Muyang.
Although the revenge was avenged, Li Xuan could feel that Fang Muyang did not feel very happy, but even more empty.
In the past, there was also the idea of revenge, which supported him.
But now, Fang Muyang can only continue to experience the pain after losing Qianqian.
"Let's hope he gets used to it soon."
Li Xuan believes that this kind of thing can't get out, and people will only slowly adapt to the pain of loss.
Occasionally, the wound will be lifted open and the scab will be re-formed.
Repeat until numbness.
After Li Xuan returned to Xingqing Palace, he soon found Princess Ankang.
Princess Ankang didn't leave here today, but just wandered around Xingqing Palace.
Since she hit the palace, she hasn't had time to take a good look at this place.
Originally, there were many princes and princesses who came to Wannian County to investigate the case, but now they are nowhere to be seen all day long.
Princess Yuan'an also came to play with Princess Ankang this morning, but Princess Ankang was not interested, so Princess Yuan'an had to travel alone.
It is rare for her to be out of the sight of the queen mother, and she will naturally not miss the opportunity to go out of the palace to play so freely.
Princess Yuan'an only thought that Princess Ankang was tired after playing for a few days, but she didn't pay too much attention to it.
Princess Ankang saw Li Xuan running towards her from afar, and immediately smiled.
"Ah Xuan, why did you come back, and where did you go to play?"
Princess Ankang teased Li Xuan in her arms and asked dotingly.
She naturally knew that Li Xuan was going to help Fang Muyang.
It's just that these words can't be said in front of outsiders.
The eunuch who was responsible for recording Princess Ankang's words and deeds was still on the sidelines.
Since he was ready to help Fang Muyang, the three little ones have rotted this matter in their stomachs.
Even if we talk about each other, we do so by writing on each other.
In this way, the eunuch who recorded his words and deeds could not know the content of the communication between the three little ones.
Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang and Li Xuan around the Xingqing Palace, and Li Xuan took this opportunity to tell Princess Ankang what happened from last night to before.
Yu'er also watched carefully in the back, and almost pushed Princess Ankang and Li Xuan into the pond several times, but fortunately, Princess Ankang coughed and reminded her in time, so that Yu'er did not make a big mistake, and the eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes who were guarding on the side were terrified.
They thought to themselves, this princess Ankang's personal maid was so unreliable.
Princess Ankang can live unharmed until now, which is really a blessing.
After Princess Ankang and Yu'er heard about the process, they were also embarrassed, and at the same time they were curious about the Oiran Ayimu of Hu Yulou.
"Ah Xuan, I always think this Miss Oiran is unusual."
Princess Ankang secretly wrote on Li Xuan's ass.
Li Xuan nodded silently.
And when Ayimu was alone with herself, Li Xuan saw her looking at her with a particularly strange look.
There was eagerness, expectation, and many complicated emotions in his eyes, but Li Xuan didn't feel malicious intent from it.
This made Li Xuan even more confused about Ayimu.
"Is it also a who has been captured by my beauty?"
Li Xuan held his little face with a pair of front paws, looking very troubled.
At this time, he didn't care about Gu Ying's self-pity, and mentioned the serial theft case in her hand to Princess Ankang.
In the morning, Li Xuan had already returned the lost items of the owner, and those who did not go back were also compensated by Fang Muyang for the silver, leaving a note written by Ayimu.
If they visit again, they should be able to close the case smoothly.
After having lunch in Xingqing Palace, the three little ones once again led people to Wannian County.
After explaining their intentions, the two officials from the last time took them to visit again.
Because Princess Ankang had a good attitude towards the two officials last time and gave a generous reward, the two officials were very enthusiastic about Princess Ankang's arrival.
Even if it was another trip to the same visit, the two officials did not complain at all.
Everyone else thought it was another trip in vain, but it turned out to be fruitful from the first one.
What was lost was found again.
The owner was a little embarrassed to say that he might have forgotten where he had received it, which made him apologize again and again.
Although the two officials felt strange, they recorded it first.
Because in Daxing, there is also a punishment for reporting false cases.
Depending on the severity of the impact, it is possible to go from the lightest verbal warning to a serious prison sentence for beheading.
Li Xuan didn't expect this first owner to be so sloppy.
He obviously put the things back in place according to Fang Muyang's instructions before, but the owner even said that he forgot where he put them.
Even if you really forget, how can you casually admit it at this time.
This case has been characterized as a serial theft case, and if it is determined to be a false report, the punishment will definitely not be light.
Fortunately, these two officials were more responsible, and they didn't just listen to his family, although they felt strange, they only recorded it first, and planned to talk about it after the search today.
They continued to visit the few remaining owners, and then they were much more clever.
Some said that they didn't know how things reappeared, and some said that the thieves returned the things, but no one said that they were negligent.
Li Xuan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until they found the pharmacy and blacksmith shop where the note had been left that the two officials knew that the case had taken a turn for the better.
The two officials couldn't understand the language of the Western Regions written by Ayimu on the note, so they immediately took the note and went back to the yamen with Princess Ankang and her party to find someone to translate.
There are also talents in the Wannian County Ya, and they immediately found a person who is proficient in the lingua franca of the Western Regions, and quickly translated the content on the note.
It turns out that Ayimu really didn't play tricks, and the above content was what Fang Muyang asked her to write.
In this way, the matter has come to a conclusion.
Now either the goods are returned to their original owners, or they are compensated, and the owners have an explanation.
Especially those who were compensated by the silver taels, there was no complaint.
Because of this back and forth, they also made some money.
The county government originally thought that there was another backlog of cases, but now that it can be resolved like this, it is naturally impossible to ask for it.
They immediately condemned the prisoner as a stubborn thief from the Western Regions, and now they succumbed to the power of the Daxing government and took the initiative to return the stolen goods and make compensation, which can be regarded as a remedy.
The Wannian County Government issued a stern warning, reminding this stubborn thief from the Western Regions not to commit it again, and also declared the majesty of the government.
In such a daze, Princess Ankang's case was successfully concluded.
Even Tang Zhi, the commander of Wannian County, came forward in person and praised Princess Ankang for investigating the case, and as soon as he came, he put pressure on the thief and forced the other party to return the lost property.
Then there was a sycophant like a spring breeze, which was held lightly by Princess Ankang.
Tang Zhi also knew that Princess Ankang did not have any power at all, but she had solved a problem for herself, and it was not an exaggeration to say a few auspicious words.
Li Xuan listened to Tang Zhi's praise, nodded again and again, and secretly took notes.
These officials are good at being people, and they are so technical when they shoot sycophants.
In the past, Li Xuan scoffed at these, but now he analyzes them word by word.
Tang Zhi personally opened the closing paperwork, printed his official seal, and handed a copy to Princess Ankang.
This copy is to be taken to Emperor Yongyuan for delivery.
Princess Ankang directly handed over the closing documents to the eunuch who was in charge of recording their words and deeds.
For so many days, the eunuch did not put away the pen and paper until he got the paperwork and said the first sentence.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Ankang, your case has ended, do you need the villain to return to the palace immediately to deliver the investigation record?"
The three little ones were stunned, they didn't expect such a good thing.
They had expected that the eunuch who was in charge of recording their words and deeds would follow them when they left the palace.
But now it seems that after investigating the case, it seems that after investigating the case, the eunuch can go back to the palace in advance to report the news.
The three little ones have been going crazy for the past few days, so naturally they wish that the eunuch would go back quickly.
Princess Ankang nodded hurriedly and said:
"It's been hard for my father-in-law these days, please go back and report it immediately."
The eunuch in charge of recording her words and deeds received the order of Princess Ankang, and finally added a few more strokes to the record book before respectfully retiring and leaving.
With no one around to keep an eye on their every move, the three little ones suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
The three little ones glanced at each other, and they could see each other's happiness.
"In this way, Your Highness's exit from the palace trial this time can be regarded as a successful completion, right?"
Yu'er rarely took the initiative to speak.
Princess Ankang nodded happily:
"Finally, I have an explanation, and I can play to my heart's content for the next few days."
Although the eunuchs in flowery clothes who are responsible for protecting their safety are still there, these eunuchs in flowery clothes don't care too much about their every move, let alone record them.
Moreover, they are all Zhao Feng's people, and Li Xuan can still be trusted.
"Whew-"
"Finally, there's no one watching around."
Speaking of which, the eunuch who was responsible for recording words and deeds was still very stressful on them.
For fear that something wrong would be recorded and passed on to Emperor Yongyuan.
Emperor Yongyuan arranged this way, and it is estimated that he deliberately put pressure on the princes and princesses.
It's okay for someone like Sanxiao to have successfully solved the case, if he hasn't been able to solve the case, plus there is such a pressure existence next to him, I'm afraid that he will be more and more anxious in the future.
sent away the eunuchs who were responsible for recording their words and deeds, and the three small eunuchs were relaxed and prepared to leave the Wannian County Ya.
Calculating the time, it is now the fourth day of leaving the palace.
After they finished eating at Xingqing Palace at noon, they came out to investigate the case and visit, and spent another afternoon, and it was now close to dinner.
Princess Ankang counted with her fingers and found that there were still three full days to play carefree outside the palace, and she was even more excited.
But just as they were leaving the gate of the county government, they found that a team of officials was returning with a prisoner.
The prisoner was unkempt, and at first glance, he did not pay much attention to hygiene on weekdays, and his temperament was obscene, and he was shouting at this time.
And behind the prisoner, there was an official with a delicate woman, who was crying and crying.
The woman is charming and thinly dressed, and she looks a little embarrassed at this time.
Coupled with the other party's very characteristic wheat-colored skin, Li Xuan recognized the other party at a glance.
"This guy is too actionable, isn't he?"
Li Xuan Khan.
In the morning, Ayimu was still discussing with Fang Muyang how to frame Sissi's uncle, but he didn't expect that he would be arrested in the afternoon.
Ayimu, who came back with the official mission, also saw Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms at this time.
Li Xuan could see clearly, Ayimu also secretly winked at himself naughtily in the crowd, and then naturally continued his tear offensive, telling the officials how Sissi's uncle was not a person.
Such a delicate beauty, being bullied like this, the young officials who hated it kicked Sissi's uncle a few times, making Ayimu angry.
"It's worthy of being an oiran, and it's called a skillful skill in mastering men."
Li Xuan's cat is sweating profusely, and with Ayimu's witness, Zi Xiqian's uncle is now convicted of a crime.
As soon as the front foot Ayimu followed the official to enter, a group of people came on the back foot.
Li Xuan knows them all, one group is the Hou family led by Steward Fan, and the other group seems to be Hu Yulou's.
It's just that I don't know what the situation of Hu Yulou is now, and whether there is anyone in charge of the house after Zhou's mother dies.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't wait to open Zhou's mother's small wooden box to see if there were land deeds and house deeds in it.
Maybe, taking advantage of this opportunity, I can also buy some properties for Princess Ankang outside the palace.
At this time, Princess Ankang quietly wrote on Li Xuan's buttocks:
"Is that Sissi's uncle?"
"You deserve it!"
"Miss Ayimu is very interesting."
Princess Ankang also saw Ayimu and Li Xuan blinking before, and couldn't help but smile.
Li Xuan wagged his tail and was noncommittal.
He still doesn't know Ayimu's identity and purpose, and it's still too early to tell.
Princess Ankang felt a little hungry, so she led people to Cuihua Tower.
After coming back to eat here, Princess Ankang felt that the craftsmanship of this house was quite good.
Although it can't be compared with the imperial food in the palace, it also has its own characteristics.
Princess Ankang didn't forget to send someone to send a message to Princess Yuan'an, if she hadn't eaten yet, let her come to Cuihua Building to find herself.
The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building saw that Princess Ankang had come to take care of his business again, and he couldn't stop smiling.
He was about to arrange Princess Ankang to the third floor, but Princess Ankang refused and chose to eat in the lobby on the first floor, which was the most lively.
The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building naturally did not disobey the requirements of the guests, and immediately found a big table in the lobby, and arranged a table next to it for the eunuch in Huayi and others.
There are also a lot of people sitting in Cuihua Building today, and the business is even better than the last time they came.
According to the old rules, Princess Ankang asked the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building to watch and arrange some dishes.
The dishes recommended by the shopkeeper last time, Princess Ankang was quite satisfied with them.
The shopkeeper immediately took the order and soon gave Princess Ankang their table of dishes.
When the dishes were ready, the shopkeeper personally delivered a large pot of rock molasses.
The last time he saw Princess Ankang love to drink this, this time he directly gave a big pot and drank it until it was enough.
Princess Ankang noticed that the shopkeeper was in a good mood, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What's the good news for the shopkeeper these days?"
"I think some of you mean that you are in good spirits at happy events."
The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building immediately laughed and said casually:
"This is the biggest happy event, isn't it that Miss you are coming again?"
"As long as you come often, I have to be so happy every day."
The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building said a few nice words, and then he repeatedly confessed and went to busy his business.
Not to mention, the business of Cuihua Building is really good tonight.
The huge lobby on the first floor was quickly filled with people not long after Princess Ankang and their arrival.
It seems that the people in this East Market are not all prodigals who drink flower wine every day.
Princess Ankang looked at the booming business of Cuihua Building, and she was also happy for the shopkeeper.
The three little ones looked at each other in unison, and their minds were tacit.
The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building is happy, I am afraid it has something to do with the two old people.
It's just that this kind of thing, the shopkeeper must not be able to say it, just be happy in his heart.
Zhao Si and Hou San are gone, and I hope that Cuihualou can avoid the "business" of smashing the store in the future.
The three little ones still clearly remember that when they first met Zhao Si, he was riding horses in Dongshi, and the eunuch in flower-clothed clothes blocked the road and directly whipped people with a horse whip.
If it weren't for the high skills of the eunuch in flowery clothes, he was replaced by an ordinary person, or even a little girl like Princess Ankang, what would be the scene.
When Zhao Si rode the horse, why did everyone avoid it, and he was afraid like a snake and scorpion.
The fear of snake and scorpion venom is an instinct that has evolved from generation to generation, carved into the body's genes, and this process has cost many people their lives to make people remember this fear.
And how much did the fear of Zhao Si cost?
Is Cuihua Lou the first restaurant to be smashed by gentlemen?
So coincidentally, I met such a "business-minded" shopkeeper of Cuihua Building?
The gentlemen lost their money, just to avoid a lawsuit and cause a commotion.
As for how much to lose, it's not what people mean.
How many of them did not resist, lost their industry, and lost the efforts of several generations.
In the face of this kind of thing, what can you do except think you are unlucky?
The destructive power caused by the privilege combined with the indulgence of desire, Zhao Si and Hou San have already made a vivid demonstration.
Princess Ankang can be sure that she hates people like Zhao Si and Hou San.
She couldn't help but think about how she could make the world less like this.
In Princess Ankang's heart, a vague seed began to take root slowly, and I don't know if it will be able to take root and sprout smoothly in the future and bear satisfactory fruits.
Li Xuan silently looked up at Princess Ankang while eating, observing the people in the lobby, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Xuan shrank in Princess Ankang's arms, reached for Princess Ankang's hand to hold chopsticks with his claws, and then pointed to the sweet and sour carp on the table.
Princess Ankang woke up from her daze, and when she saw Li Xuan in her arms, she asked her to help pick up vegetables, and smiled unusually brightly.
"Ah Xuan, I'll pick out all the thorns for you, don't worry."
Thank you for the tipping support of "Go to the Moon Z".
Thank you for your monthly ticket support.
Tomorrow is ten thousand, and the deception is a kitten!
Meow meow meow ~ (^^)
