Along the way, Gao Baichuan kept making amends, scolding himself for failing to take care of the prisoners in the prison, and sent Xie Yixiang from the bottom of the fifth layer of the prison to the outside of the prison. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xie Yixiang saw the light of day again, looked back at the heavily guarded prison, everything seemed to be a world away, and couldn't help but sigh: "A good prison can't shut up the wicked people in the world." If this face-ripping demon continues to run rampant, I don't know how many innocent people will die for it. ”

Gao Baichuan continued to smoke along the way, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but groan slightly, and said, "Oh......? Hehe, this is a bit funny, I advise you to look at it well, how can there be a reason in the world for prisoners to catch murderers?"

Xie Yixiang smiled bitterly, and suddenly a thought came to her mind: "Since there is still a person in the prison who is more powerful than the Rainy Night Man Tu, why don't I ask him for help?" However, she immediately dispelled this thought, she didn't know the details of the man at all, and he didn't even know his name, how could she be trusted?

At that moment, Xie Yixiang didn't say much, her right hand gently pressed the chaos on her waist, and she was a little sure in her heart, and immediately said goodbye to Gao Baichuan.

With the blowing autumn wind, the red sun has gradually set in the west, and it turns out that this trip to the prison has unconsciously consumed most of the day's time. Xie Yixiang walked in quickly and rushed straight to Senior Brother Xianjingyue's mansion. Who knew that when she couldn't wait to knock on the door of the first mansion, she found that Xian Jingyue was not in the mansion.

Xie Yixiang felt a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart. You must know that the senior brother Xian Jingyue served in the pro-army Governor's Mansion in the court, and he was in the position of the commander, although the Governor's Mansion was the emperor's cronies' guards, he was an idle officer, and most of the time he stayed in the palace to study, unless there was a special appointment, he would go out for a few days, and he would definitely inform himself in advance. However, the senior brother suddenly went out this time, and he didn't even know about it, could it be that something happened in the middle?

Hu Lao, the old servant of the Xianfu, raised Xian Jingyue since he was a child, and at this moment he was on crutches, staggering, and said apologetically: "The third lady must not blame, the night before yesterday, the prince suddenly received the will from above, so he hurriedly went out, and he was too late to inform the third lady in a hurry, so he had to order the old man to convey it on his behalf." Alas, the old man planned to go to the torture room in person yesterday to tell him, but who knew that the autumn weather was strong recently, but unfortunately it caused old rheumatism, and he couldn't go out for a while, which delayed the matter. ”

Xie Yixiang saw that Hu Lao was limping, and hurriedly helped him sit down. She knows that Xian Jingyue has been lonely since she was a child, and she has relied on this old man Hu to raise him, and the old and the young have depended on each other for many years, and the feelings are very deep, and she has already regarded him as her own parent in her heart. After listening to Hu Lao's explanation, since he was on a business trip under the emperor's order, Xie Yixiang relaxed a little. At that moment, she casually exchanged a few words with Hu Lao, told him to pay attention to his body, then got up to say goodbye, and left the Xianfu with a disappointed face.

At this moment, Xie Yixiang was thinking about the case of the face-tearing demon, but his heart was like an iron cone hanging high, and there was nowhere to go. She couldn't help but think of Taibai's sentence "If you want to cross the Yellow River and ice the river, you will climb the snowy mountains of Taihang", but at this time, she has never even seen the traces of "Yellow River" and "Taihang".

She walked around the street, seeing that the road was full of bleak streets and sparse pedestrians, she was in a very bad mood, and her thoughts became chaotic, and she sighed: "What do you say today is another peaceful and prosperous era after the Han and Tang Dynasties, as far as the situation in the capital is concerned, if there is no face-tearing demon who is going around, 'Taiping' is barely done, but the word 'prosperous age' is far behind." ”

However, I thought about it: "This dynasty has been founded so far, but it has only been more than ten years, and it is when the war is beginning to extinguish and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, how can it be compared with the Han and Tang dynasties? I often heard my parents say that the previous dynasty was tyrannical, and the people did not have enough food and clothing. ”

While he was thinking wildly, he heard a quarrel and shouting not far away, followed by a group of peddlers running in a desperate manner, followed by a few chain-wielding men shouting loudly with teeth and claws.

Originally from the capital of the dynasty Jinling, given the name "Ying Tianfu", the imperial court in order to rectify the security of the capital, strictly ordered all merchants must enter the shop, not to set up stalls on the street. As soon as this order was issued, there were constant disputes, and there were endless verbal quarrels and even fights between the street patrol and the hawkers. Xie Yixiang looked at the row of shops on the street, most of them were closed, and asked those poor hawkers, how many of them could afford to rent these shops in the capital?

Seeing that a hawker was running slowly, he was finally caught by several street patrol officers, and he was pressed to the ground and beaten severely. The fast peddlers ignored the beatings of their companions and went into the alleys on their own.

Although Xie Yixiang is dissatisfied with the domineering of these tolerances, this kind of situation is also commonplace and accustomed to it, not to mention that he is also a person in the court, and it is inconvenient for him to interfere. Seeing that the arrested peddler was beaten very badly, one of the hawkers seemed to be a little soft-hearted, and stopped his hand and scolded: "Everyone is eating with a mouth, what are you going to do? ”

The peddler's face was covered with blood, but his tone was extremely tough, and he scolded back: "What kind of world is this, and Lao Tzu is not even allowed to do business? Lao Tzu does not steal, cheat, or rob, and eats with two hands in a dignified manner, so why did he violate the royal law? If he hadn't been able to swallow this breath, Lao Tzu would have gone to the Purple Mountain to be a refugee a long time ago, and not only would he have eaten and drunk, but he would not have to hide from you lackeys all day long!"

Xie Yixiang was silent when she heard this, and her already low mood sank to the bottom. She knew that the Purple Mountain that the hawker said was that there was a Taiyuan Temple in the east of Jinling City, which was run by an old Taoist called "Xiyi Zhenren", and he asked the Taoist priests under his door to shelter the refugees who were displaced nearby, and built a group of pergolas on the mountainside, offering porridge and water to the refugees every day, and administering medicine, which won the hearts of the people in this area, and attracted many good people to worship and donate.

When the man heard the peddler scold him for being a lackey, he couldn't help but punch and kick him again, and then he looted all his belongings and left angrily. Xie Yixiang knew that there would be no more conflicts between them, so he turned around and turned around, and walked more than ten steps, which was already west of Jinling City, and beside him was a familiar deep alley. At this moment, when the sun sets, the alley is deserted, and there is no figure in sight, and the whole alley seems to be a giant python with an open mouth, smiling and beckoning Xie Yixiang to enter.

Xie Yixiang smiled bitterly in her heart, thinking: "Anyway, I'm at a loss and have no clue." It's better to try your luck here, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains. Seeing the sun set, she straightened her clothes, stepped into the alley in the afterglow, and gently pushed open a wooden door deep in the alley.

Behind the wooden door is a very small courtyard, but it is very delicately arranged: in the middle is a quaint single-storey wooden house, and the wooden plaque under the eaves is engraved with the three big characters "Mu Sen Lou"; by the door there is a pair of woodcut couplets, the upper one reads "False Standards", and the lower one corresponds to "Cardinal Polar Pillow"; next to the wooden house is a neat row of wooden fences, surrounding a small garden that is a little square and full of bare dead branches in late autumn.

At this moment, in the courtyard, a bald old man sat at a log table with his back to the door, holding an ancient vine teacup in one hand and a pu fan made of daylilies in the other, looking at the dead branches in the garden stupidly.

Xie Yixiang stepped into the courtyard cautiously, as if she was afraid that her arrival would disturb the autumn mood of the courtyard. The bald old man didn't look back, but he said lightly: "Jin Naike wood, the old man's wood gas in this room can't tolerate the slightest metallic breath." Now that such a strong golden qi is coming, it must be the god soldier of the world, and I think it is Miss Xie San. ”
