1. Broken temple and thief
In the golden autumn of October, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, Wei Zhongxian was chatting at Mrs. Fengsheng's place, since the Donglin Party was eliminated by himself. It's a much more comfortable day than before. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are now their own henchmen, both openly and secretly. Everyone knows that the emperor loves carpentry creation and does not like government affairs very much. The actual ruler of the Ming Dynasty is him, who is 9,000 years old. I can't remember all the godsons and grandsons. Who would have thought that he was a eunuch and would have a full house of children and grandchildren.
looked at the woman in her forties, who was no longer young. He still has a little annoyance in his heart. But thinking of her role, he was suddenly inseparable from love. Who said that eunuchs can't have love. This woman has worked hard to get through it herself. Although the Wei Dynasty was kind to himself. Is the hero sad to pass the beauty pass.
Coming out of the Qianqing Palace of the Hakka family, Wei Zhongxian took the guards and entourage and went straight to the Wei Mansion in Dongchang Hutong. The capital seems to be calm, but it is not. In recent years, assassinating himself has happened from time to time. Every time he caught one, he asked them why they wanted to kill him, what it was to avenge his father, to live for the world, and what to do to his family. Wei Zhongxian was very puzzled, obviously I don't know you, okay. I'm just a eunuch, and I want to live a better life. If you don't do this to me, can I clean you up?
Wei Zhongxian was quite relieved about the people he was holding, after all, they were all killed. Whenever I think of Zhao Jiayi, who I haven't caught twice, I feel irritable. Thinking of him, I didn't catch him for a day. It's hard to sleep and eat by yourself. Immediately ordered to go down. Urging the spies of the East Factory, why hasn't Zhao Jiayi caught it yet.
Zhao Jiayi suddenly sneezed. said to Ding Xi, your sister probably misses me again. Ding Xi was washing the master's clothes again.
He was picked up by the master, and even the name was given by the master. Ask him why he named himself Ding Xi. The master did not hide it from him, and when Ding Shi was washing clothes by the river, he saw that he was left by the river, except for wearing a patched clothes, there was nothing. That's why it's called Ding Wash. If you don't like it, you can also call it Ding Xi.
Since the master said that this is fine, so be it. No one else called it anyway. He only knew that the master in Master's mouth was Master's neighbor when he was a child. Li Qiuhua, the eldest lady of the Li Mansion. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. was going to wait for him to come to the door to propose marriage after he finished the fame exam. Then what happened, Master didn't say anything.
In fact, it was the Donglin Party who saw that Wei Zhongxian was interfering in court politics. The harm of eunuchs, the lessons of the blood of the previous dynasty are vivid. Yang Lian played a copy of him. It's just that the emperor didn't go out to Wei Zhongxian. Now that the face is torn. Wei Zhongxian began to fight back, and in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he made a Donglin point general. In the middle of the night, Zhao's mansion was besieged and all arrests were ordered. Only Zhao Jiayi escaped alone in the confusion. Since then, he has wandered the world. Seek revenge.
On the way to escape, he saw Ding Xi abandoned by the river. I'm hungry. And they saved him. The two traveled north and south together. Three years have passed. Ding Xi is already a 7 or 8-year-old child.
Ding Xi heard the master mention the master again, the child's heart, there is no heart, but he knows to comfort the master: "I will definitely find the master." Believe in yourself, Oh Master. ”
When Zhao Jia heard this, he felt that it was not easy for this child to follow him. I fled all the way, and for more than two years, I arrived in this Shaanxi, far away from the imperial city, but it was safe. It's just that Wei Zhongxian's henchmen roam the world. Several times I almost got caught.
Now the master and apprentice live in a dilapidated temple in Xixiang, Hanzhong. On the edge of the county seat, wait for Ding to clean up and go to sleep. Zhao Jiayi changed into another outfit in the baggage. He's going to steal some money. Then continue wandering in the direction of Yulin.
Out of the temple gate to the east, go straight to the east of the county seat Zhao landlord's mansion. After a few days of stepping on the dots and inquiring. This Zhao landlord did not say anything about bullying men and women nearby, and he also colluded with the government. is also Wei Zhongxian's minions. Soon to the vicinity of Zhao's mansion.
Zhao Jia saw that it was not yet the second watch, so he hid outside the wall first. This Zhao Mansion is a typical three-in, three-out structure. The wall is one and a half people high. After a while, the surroundings were quiet. Apparently all asleep. Zhao Jiayi leaned over the wall and listened to the façade, but there was no movement. Flip over the wall. After a short pause at the wall, I found that the lights in the backyard were all off. This is the only way to land quietly. Head straight to the north master room. Approaching the window, he listened to the movement in the room again. Two people breathed steadily. Only then did he take out the dagger, insert it into the crack of the door, and slowly pick it open.
Push the door in and close it quietly. It was dark inside. After getting used to it, the light from the window found the cabinet. Zhao Jiayi unhurriedly rummaged through the cabinets and took away some loose silver and a few pieces of jewelry. I probably calculated the cost of the road to Yulin. Quietly returned to the ruined temple the same way.
walked in to see Zhengxiang who was sleeping with Ding Xi, and he didn't call him, and he was lying in a corner of the temple. Prepare to get up tomorrow morning and leave at the fifth watch.
As soon as he lay down and seemed to be asleep, he heard his own horse outside barking uneasily, and thought badly. He and Ding Xi relied on this horse to get there. So he got up and walked out of the temple, and the horse was tied under the pine tree outside the temple. As soon as I went out, I saw a dark figure untying the reins. said in his heart, as soon as he asked someone else to borrow some coils, someone came to find him. Fellow travelers.
Just as he stepped forward to scare him behind the black shadow, he didn't know that there was still a person squatting at the door. The man at the door was also startled. I didn't expect Zhao Jiayi to appear so quietly. Hurry up and lock your throat, how can this kind of disorderly market play be able to help him. I saw Zhao Jia stretch out his arm, turn around and throw this one to the ground. Those who untied the reins in front heard the sound of hands behind them. I know it's not good, anyway, there are no people around here. If you simply let it go, you have to force it.
When he got closer, Zhao Jiayi recognized it as a nearby scoundrel. In the past two days, I have been walking around in front of the temple gate, and it turns out that I have other plans. I didn't want to cause trouble, so I said, "Since it's all like this, please come back." I'll leave tomorrow. I'm embarrassed to borrow a precious place for a few days. ”
This splash is called Zhao Leng, and he is idle. Hearing Zhao Jiayi say this, he didn't know what to do, and he saw his accomplice lying on the ground and knew that he couldn't please him. said coyly, it's clumsy and offended. After saying that he was ready, he went to pull his accomplices and prepared to leave.
Zhao Jia saw that they were about to leave, and also turned around and went back to the temple. At this time, the wind behind his head sounded, so he quickly lowered his head and leaned forward and turned around to look. The splash actually wanted to sneak up on him.
Zhao Jiayi didn't want to provoke him, so he smiled and said thank you for the advice.
Zhao Leng saw that Zhao Jia was very good at it, and today he can do this, so he smiled and said, good skills, then we won't bother. After saying that, the two of them just left.
Zhao Jiayi returned to the temple, saw that Ding Xi was still sleeping, and said with a smile, it's good to be young.
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Jiayi woke up Ding Xi, washed him by the well, ate a little dry food, packed his bags, and set off in the direction of Yulin.
As usual, Zhao Jiayi rode a horse and hugged Ding Xi, and Ding Xi asked, "Master, when will I be able to ride a horse by myself." ”
Zhao Jiayi said: "Just wait until you don't wet the bed." He laughed out loud. Ding Xi was also so ashamed that his face was flushed.
