Chapter 158: Departure Border
In a blink of an eye, it was Jin Luoyi's wedding day. She looked at the embroidered gold wedding dress in front of her, but her heart was full of thoughts. All along, she felt like a marionette, constantly hovering between power and family, and she couldn't help herself.
In fact, she is not just a victim, and many things are not up to her, so she finally chose to compromise.
No one knows what she really thinks. Yu Zhong didn't know, Chen Hu didn't know, and even she didn't know.
She just chose what seemed to be an easy decision, like catkins, swaying in the wind, and it didn't matter where she floated. As long as it can take root, it is a kind of stability.
This wedding is very grand, after all, it is a major event in the Taishi Mansion. Many courtiers came to congratulate him, talking about the young talents of the groom and the beauty and generosity of the bride.
Not far from the door of the Taishi Mansion, Yu Chong's eyes were full of melancholy. He had wanted to ask Jin Luoyi personally why it was all about, but he didn't do it in the end.
Perhaps the moment Jin Luoyi was caught by Chen Nahai, her heart had already accepted her fate. Dreams are just dreams after all, and when dreams become regrets, people can remember the sweetness of the past.
Yu Zhong suddenly thought of someone.
He came to the White Dragon Temple and met Master Unsullied.
The master once said that as long as Yu Zhong needs help, just come to him.
So here he comes.
Yu Shizhu seemed to be depressed. Master Unsullied asked.
"The master is wise, and the younger generation is indeed a little confused. Yu replied.
"The Buddha said, all the ordinary are gone, the higher ones are also falling, the union will be separated, and the living will die. Why should the donor be too obsessed. Master Innocent said.
"The realm of the master outside the world is trapped in the red dust below, and it is beyond reach. Yu Zhong said.
"I am all in the red dust, one foot outside the door and one foot in the door, what is born and what is entering the WTO, the angle is different. Yu Shi is a person with wise roots, and he must be able to defeat the old man. Master Innocent replied.
Yu Zhong listened, thought for a long time, as if suddenly the mouth suddenly opened, smiled and saluted Master Wuji, and said: "The master said that the Zen machine is everywhere, but the younger generation seems to have an epiphany, thank you for the master's guidance." ”
Attachment is a kind of desire. To act for the purpose of one's own desires is to have the wrong starting point. When we look at the same thing from the perspective of others, we have empathy, we can let go of our attachments, and we can be liberated.
Coming out of the White Dragon Temple, Yu Zhong let go.
Most people, the words come out of their mouths, and they are sincere at the moment. It's just that the heart will change. Or years, or months, or moments. The world is impermanent, and variables are often just a matter of a moment. And the reason for the change is just a multiple-choice question.
Whatever the reason, Yu Zhong can already understand Jin Luoyi's helplessness at this moment. Letting go is the best outcome.
On the other side, Gui Ming finally took a step further. He met the Lord in Chen An's mouth. But the identity of this person really surprised him. It turned out to be Lord Shangshulou of the Ministry of War.
The four guards of the forbidden army are directly under the imperial front and are not subject to the control of the military department, so Lord Lou did not recognize Guiming.
Unexpectedly, behind Ran Zilin's unjust case, it was the officials of the second rank of the DPRK who were manipulating. He hurriedly called Yu Zhong to go to Zhongjing Mansion together and met Yin Hua Ren'an.
"What, it turned out to be Lou Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Hua Ren'an was shocked.
"Since this matter involves members of the imperial court, we still have to be cautious and must get evidence. Yu Zhong reminded.
"I think that if Lord Lou contacts the generals who are far away on the left road of Jingbei, there will definitely be letters, and now that I have entered Lord Lou's mansion, it is better for me to find a chance. Gui Ming said.
"This matter has not yet been filed, and it is not good for my Zhongjing Mansion to intervene directly at present, so I can only rely on the two sons. Hua Ren'an said.
"But there's one thing I find strange about this case. Yu Zhong said suddenly.
"Where is it?" Gui Ming asked.
According to Miss Su'er, her father was besieged by Bac Ninh's elite cavalry, which was several times her size, and was killed in battle. But why do these elite horsemen of Beining know that Yangshan is a secret storage place for border army materials, and the garrison is empty?" Yu Zhong wondered.
Gui Ming slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Why haven't I thought about this, Boss Yu, you mean, someone is secretly collaborating with the enemy country." ”
"This is treason, and it is completely different from the previous charge. If Lou Shangshu is said to be treasonous, I don't think it's possible, at most the soldiers on the border themselves are making their own claims. Hua Ren'an was taken aback by this sentence.
"I'm afraid this matter will require me to go to Jingbei West Road. Yu Zhong took the initiative to ask for help.
"Only if you go in person, Boss Yu, can I rest assured. Do you want me to send a few dragon guards to accompany you, so that you can call it? Gui Ming said.
"That's not necessary, I'm on the road alone with a smaller target, and it's not easy to be suspicious. Yu Zhong said.
After seeing Hua Ren'an, the two returned to Guiming's home and informed Ran Su'er of their thoughts and arrangements.
"Brother Yu, with your martial arts, I don't worry about your safety. It's just that you are going to the border, you are not familiar with the place, and if you want to investigate your father's unjust case, I am afraid that it will be half the result. Why don't you pick a few of your father's old subordinates to accompany you? Ran Su'er said.
But she got to the point. There are a few people who are familiar with the local area, and it will definitely be more convenient to investigate the case, so Yu Zhong did not refuse her.
"It's just that I'm going, and the girl must pay attention to safety in Beijing. Yu Zhong said.
"Don't worry, Boss Yu, this is my home. Besides, there's the deputy commander here. Gui Ming patted his chest and said.
"Ming Gongzi is still a reliable person. Ran Su'er pursed her lips and smiled.
The next day, after selecting a few reliable helpers, Yu Zhong set off for the border.
Gui Ming took advantage of Lou Shangshu's efforts to go to court and entered the study. He rummaged through the cabinets for a long time, but did not find any letters or evidence useful to the facts of the case.
"Could it be that the old fox has already disposed of all the letters? Gui Ming thought to himself, if this is the case, I'm afraid it will be a bit tricky
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and there were two people listening to the sound. Gui Ming hurriedly put the documents back in place, and jumped onto the beam.
There were two people who came in, one of them was Lou Shangshu, and the other was Gui Ming who had never seen him. He was dressed in plain clothes, holding a sword, and looked more like a military general. However, Lou Shangshu was very polite to him, and it seemed that he should have some identity.
"This case in Jingbei is over, and it is all in my hands, so you can rest assured. Lou Shangshu said.
"As far as I know, Lord Yin Hua of the Beijing Mansion has begun to intervene in this matter. He is not an easy character to deal with, I hope that Lord Lou will not leave any trouble, otherwise no one will be able to protect you. The general said.
"I have been an official for many years, so I naturally know it in my heart. But everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and if something really happens, I'm afraid I'm not alone in my misfortune. Lou Shangshu said coldly.
"Hmph, Jingbei Left Road, I think it's better for you to send someone over. If it really doesn't work, the tail that should be cut off still has to be ruthless, and it's better than being unlucky with everyone in Beijing. The military general said again.
Listening to the meaning of their conversation, they are probably talking about Ran Xu'er's case. Originally, Guiming thought that this matter was just instructed by Lou Shangshu alone, but when he heard this, it seemed that there was someone else behind him. And the official position is probably not too low.
There are not a few officials in the DPRK and China who are above the second grade, and if there are indeed other people involved in the case and implicated, it may be a big case.
The more Gui Ming, who was squatting on the beam, listened, the more panicked he became. People in the court naturally know how terrible it is to be implicated, let alone a senior member of a powerful department such as Shangshu.
Judging by the meaning of their conversation, there should be action. In fact, I am afraid that if they do not move, they will leave clues.
It's just that if it's just for the position of control all the way, it seems a little unlikely that more than one or two senior officials of the DPRK and China will be involved.
"Could it be that there is some other reason for this?" Gui Ming thought to himself.
At this time, I heard the two people in the room still chatting.
"Now I just don't know where the Zhongjing Mansion Yin has checked, whether there are any clues in his hands, and we can deal with it. Master Lou said.
"Your actions this time are too big, Yunyu Pavilion assassinated seventy-six people and was arrested, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen lives in the old mansion, how could Hua Ren'an not interfere in the investigation. The general replied.
"Isn't this also hoping to use the people in the rivers and lakes to fake the illusion of vendetta in the rivers and lakes, don't worry, these arrested people don't know anything. Lou Shangshu said.
"It's not that you don't know that this Hua Ren'an is stinky and hard, like a stone in a pit. Except for his mentor, Mrs. Chen, who can still say a few words, the others really don't give half a face. The general looked very angry.
"Don't worry, he won't find out about us. Lou Shangshu is quite confident.
Gui Ming was secretly proud on the beam: "Old man, you can't imagine that the young master is hearing it all above." ”
I saw a trace of coldness flash in the general's eyes, and said, "Have those people who helped you recruit killers been dealt with?"
"I haven't had time to deal with it, those are old people who have helped me do things for many years, so there's no need. Lou Shangshu said.
"Hmph, I heard that even the second prince has intervened in this matter, you better be careful, lest you pull out the radish and bring out the mud. The general snorted coldly.
The two of them chatted in the room for a while, and the rest was useless content, and Gui Ming didn't listen carefully. He squatted on the beam and thought secretly, assuming that this case really involved many senior officials in the DPRK and China, then it must not be just for a position of control.
Not long after the trial of this big case of dark accounts was concluded, many local officials at the level of control were dismissed one after another. The DPRK and China are at a sensitive time, and if there is another major case of treason, the whole country will inevitably be shaken and the DPRK will be in chaos.
At that time, if the surrounding enemy countries take advantage of the opportunity to invade the border, the result is unimaginable. The more Gui Ming thought about it, the more terrible he felt, and he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
