Volume 3 [The Mystery of Longquan] 193: Mr. Lin'an Rainy Night

() The night when Shuang'er ran away from Taoxuan, it was raining heavily in Lin'an City. All the businesses closed early, and the people stopped working and ran to their homes and closed their homes. Looking west from the east lane of Lin'an, a long street was washed by the night rain.

The gravel path glows with a faint sheen of oil under the night rain, making it look particularly slippery. The crystal clear water droplets jumped happily in the ripples in circles, like a basket of soybeans falling into a dustpan.

The lost Xiao Yan swept through the low altitude in panic, and suddenly two huge shadows engulfed Xiao Yan'er. The two war dragons parted ways, one left and one right, and threw down two people......

At this time, the gate of the Lin'an Mansion suddenly opened, and a man wearing a corrugated hat and a gray cloth robe walked out.

He carried a small luggage package on his back and carefully closed the door of the palace. opened the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, looked around, left the mansion with the umbrella quickly, and walked towards the east lane......

Before he could get out of the alley, suddenly two figures appeared opposite him and blocked his way.

May I ask this gentleman, which direction is Longhumen going?

He looked ahead under the umbrella and saw a little girl dressed in green, and a woman in red with a face like a peach blossom. Through the night rain like a bead curtain, it is difficult to distinguish the detailed appearance of the other party. However, the woman in red seemed to have seen her somewhere!

Longhumen?Two girls?What are you going to do in Longhumen? It's not a hall that ordinary people can enter!

Xian'er took two steps forward and said domineeringly:

What do you care we do when we go to Longhumen? Ask you for the way, and if you know it, you will squeak, and if you don't know, you will flash the way. Such a heavy rain...... Where is the kung fu and your ink?

Mo Na stopped Xian'er and said politely:

Thank you sir for your kindness, we're just going around there, and please ask sir for some guidance!

The middle-aged man still felt that the woman in red was a little familiar, so he took a few steps forward, and finally saw her appearance clearly, and his heart was shocked.

You, you, you...... Aren't you the woman in the painting?

Mo Na and Xian'er were confused by him:

Mr. ......

Before Mo Na could finish speaking, the gentleman immediately threw away the oil umbrella, excitedly unloaded the package on his body, and took out a brocade box from it with trembling hands. And he took out a minot, and held it in his hand......

Mo Na and Xian'er looked at each other, wondering why this gentleman was so excited. Walking forward, Mona saw a gold ingot in his hand. She gently picked up the gold from her husband, looked at it closely, and hurriedly asked:

This...... Why is this gold with you?

When the gentleman heard this, he jumped twice with excitement, patted his buttocks, and said happily:

If it is really a goddess descending to earth, hey! The sky has eyes, and I can be regarded as living up to the prefect's entrustment.

He patronized himself and was happy, without taking into account the other party's doubts. Mona asked repeatedly:

You haven't answered me, sir, why is this ingot of gold with you?

Mr. Na said:

Girl, I'm looking for you! It's raining heavily here, do you mind if we talk in another place?

Good!

Mona happily agreed, and then walked down the street. She led the two to a closed restaurant and slammed the door......

The door opened, and Xiao Er saw that the three of them were drenched like chickens in soup, and he was about to open his mouth to refuse the guests. Morna threw the gold ingot into the air......

The little two's eyes fell with the parabola of gold, and he copied the gold into his hand. The corners of his mouth are raised

smiled, and the words that he wanted to refuse just now spit out to his lips, but turned into a sentence:

Welcome!

Immediately, the three of them sat down in the most prominent position, skillfully took down the bench from the table, and symbolically wiped it with their sleeves, and lured Mana to sit down.

The three of them sat down at the table, and the gentleman complained:

You—How can you spend the gold ingot that the prefect gave you? That is the most valuable thing of the prefect......

Mo Na's eyes never left this gentleman, and when she heard that he was very concerned about the ingot of gold, she lightly stretched out her jade hand above the table, and stretched out her five fingers, "Bang!" Another brand new gold ingot fell on the table! It was exactly the same as the ingot he had just given to Xiao Er......

The middle-aged man was really startled, picked up the gold on the table with his hand, and looked at it in front of the candlestick, and it was indeed not a trick, but real gold. He admired the trick of waving his hands into gold in disbelief, and said:

My family thinks about the girl day and night, but unfortunately a few days ago, in order not to affect everyone, he entered the Dragon Tiger Gate alone, and now I am afraid that there will be less luck......

Morna stared at the gentleman and asked:

Your Adult...... Surname He?

The gentleman nodded:

That's right! It is He Lingyun, the prefect of Lin'an. Before leaving, he entrusted me with the things behind him, asked me to take this ingot of gold to wait for you on the bank of the house in Wuxian County, and asked me to tell the girl: He Lingyun did not live up to you, he not only won the test and became the prefect of Lin'an. and three thousand of those who were afflicted have already been saved. Over the years, there has been no enshrinement of the He family tablet. It's just that I didn't save enough gold taels. He also said: I have no chance to see each other in this life, and I will continue to meet in the next life, and I will be with my son.

In the next life, renewing the relationship, and the son Chanjuan? Mo Na repeated this sentence, and her heart was already full of mixed feelings.

Xian'er was also very surprised:

Second sister? Isn't this sentence on the stone wall of Taoxuan? Who is this He Lingyun? How could he know about the second sister?

Mo Na said with emotion:

He didn't know! All this could be a coincidence! This man was the beggar we met when we were in Wu County......

Xian'er immediately remembered:

Oh oh! is that the down-and-out scholar you gave him gold and let him gain fame?

That's right, at the time, I just didn't want to see him fall into his own hands, so I made a pact with him. To be honest, I forgot about it a long time ago. I didn't expect him to really fulfill all his promises in order to meet me.

Second sister?Could it be that he likes you? Xian'er began to gossip again.

Mona glanced at her and said:

Don't talk nonsense! He's so much younger than me, how can we be? Besides, I already have a place in my heart, and I'm not allowed to make such jokes in the future!

Second sister, this is your fault, love knows no age. People care so much about you, but you forget the promise you made, which is too undeserved. Keep saying that you have a heart, and I think you will hold a wine gourd all day long. Do you have the ability to call Master Chen out of the tomb to marry you? You are too cold-blooded to guard a pile of dry bones there, but you don't care about the people around you who are good to you, right?

What do you know? I owe Ah Niu a lot of affection and I can't pay it back until I die. Can it be my fault that I can't tolerate others in my heart? Whether others like me or not is someone else's business, so why should I pity others?

Xian'er was anxious:

Second sister? I really don't understand you! Is it a question of who owes whom about feelings? You have to carry a love debt until you die, do you think that this is worthy of Ah Niu? Ah Niu wants a heart for you, and what can you give him? No matter how much you torture yourself, it is useless! He is not you! You can have no age, no birth, old age, sickness and death. It's a big deal to leave the bones to future generations! But he can't! He's gone, and people can't be resurrected from death!

Don't you think it's cruel to hurt people who really like you?

Mo Na stared at the gold on the table and wept, and was distraught when she thought of Ah Niu's tragic death. And Xian'er's words are reasonable, and she is powerless to refute them at all. I could only cry silently......

Xian'er saw her second sister crying, and felt distressed and helpless:

Second sister, you just miss the old love too much! This not only makes you miserable, but also makes many people around you suffer with you. No one can replace Chen Daren's position in your heart, and no one needs to replace him, but this Lord He has also done good things for you, and he should also be taken seriously.

The gentleman heard the conversation between the two of them, and he also understood their relationship with He Lingyun in his heart. While feeling sorry for He Lingyun's experience, he was aggrieved by He Lingyun's infatuation. Unrequited love has reached this level, and I am afraid that only He Lingyun's stupid boy in the world can do it.

The two girls, Lord He, now don't know the good luck. Then stop arguing. Love or hate! It's all a personal matter, and it's nothing compared to the injustice suffered by the adults in my family. Now the imperial court has posted a list everywhere, saying that my family knows the law and is being arrested everywhere. Once caught, shoot and kill. I have been an official for more than ten years, and I have served more than a dozen prefects, but this one He Lingyun is a rare good official. Since the two girls have a bit of the ability to turn stone into gold, it is better to think about how to clear the grievances of my family. It's good to be innocent in the world.

Ah, why, why did the court arrest him?, the two sisters asked in unison.

I don't even know what happened to me! But it is clearly written in the imperial court's list. It is said that Lord He used his power for personal gain, and looted the people's fat and ointment. Privately broke ground to build Longhumen, and cultivated a thief party and troubled the people. Raiding homes and robbing houses, doing all kinds of evil. Ignoring the laws and regulations of the imperial court, knowing the law and breaking the law, and ignoring the norms. Resisting the will is disrespectful, and bullying the king.

This...... This series of charges has been deducted from those who should not be deserved. Let a big man of the blue sky become a minister who harms the people, where is there justice in this!

Xian'er asked:

So you just came out at night to clear your father's grievances?

I'm going to look for her in Wu County!" he pointed to Mo Na and continued:

Lord He's last wish was for me to apologize to the girl in red, saying that he might not be able to keep the covenant on the shore of Wuzi Lake. Let me give this ingot of gold to this girl. Only when I have finished all the things he has confessed can I go to the court to hand over the pleadings, so that I will not be punished with the crime! I am not afraid of implicating any of them, but I am afraid that once I am wrongly judged, no one will be able to wash away the grievances of Lord Nahe.

Mona asked:

You said that Lord He entered the Dragon Tiger Gate?

The gentleman slapped the table and said:

I wouldn't let him go, but he wouldn't listen. All this is to blame for the imperial court for issuing a holy decree, naming Lord He to exterminate the Dragon and Tiger Gate. In order not to implicate a single soldier, Lord He went to see the head of the Dragon and Tiger Gate by himself, and he never came back. I don't know what it's ......

Don't be in a hurry, sir. You'll wait here for news in peace! We'll go to Longhumen in a moment to see who's there.

The gentleman said worriedly:

Girl, is it up to the two of you? I don't think it's better to take risks, there are all thugs in the Dragon and Tiger Gate, and none of them are mediocre. You can't make sense when you go to reason, you can't fight, don't cause any more trouble, I can't explain to Lord He!

Halfway through this, he suddenly found that the two girls had long since disappeared. Only one sentence remains:

We will come soon, sir!

The gentleman didn't know whether he had seen a god or a ghost, and looked at the two empty seats opposite him in astonishment......
