Chapter 23 Shang Nian is a close relative
> unban chapter <
Lai Junchen never imagined that Wu Zetian would be so ruthless to herself, a hero who has worked for her for many years, because of a mere palace maid, and said secretly: "This woman wants to come and do things ruthlessly, once she opens her mouth, there is no chance to return, if she wants to live, she can only ask King Liang for help." Hurriedly kneeling and crawling to the feet of King Liang and pulling at the placket of his clothes, how dare Wu Sansi make a sound at this time, even if his legs tremble at this moment, he is standing straight, and his eyes are not squinting.
Lai Junchen knew that there was no hope, and when he saw that their aunt and nephew were the same ruthless and unrighteous, he hated it to the extreme, and scolded loudly: "Wu Sansi, you villain! You aunt and nephew don't have any good things, and I have ...... in vain all these years." But Tang Zimu had already waved his hand to beckon two guards, one pressed him to the ground, and the other pinched Lai Junchen's chin, crackling and slapping him dozens of times, these guards are usually people with knives and guns, and their hands are very strong, and when they stop again, Lai Junchen has already broken his teeth, his mouth is full of blood, and he can no longer speak.
Tang Zi Mufang turned around and said respectfully: "He insulted his grandmother, and his grandson made his own decisions and slapped him a few times, hoping that his grandmother would forgive his sins." ”
Wu Zetian didn't mean to blame, but nodded approvingly, glanced at Wu Sansi again, and didn't speak, at this time, Lai Junchen, whose face was like earth, was dragged down, Tang Zimu personally beat the drum, after three drums, the head fell to the ground, and the surrounding crowd also erupted into bursts of praise for wisdom and long live, Wu Sansi couldn't imagine that Wu Zetian was so neat and neat, and he didn't even give him a chance to return the sentence directly, and he didn't dare to come out at the moment, and stood aside with a white face.
When Lin Jianlan saw this scene, he didn't have a trace of happiness in his heart, but he saw Su Luanxian take out something from his chest, kneel down and show Wu Zetian and said: "This is the relic of Lord Xie, please take a look at it." ”
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it one by one, but couldn't see the joy and sorrow, and after a while, he put away Xie Zhongju's relics and handed them to Su Luanxian, turned his head and stared at Lin Jianlan and said: "Xie Yaohuan's testament said that there is a private matter to ask for, and the Taihu Righteous Army will not seek glory and wealth after returning home, but only want to go out of the palace and accompany her favorite person to travel the world, and the person she will never forget is you." ”
Lin Jianlan was stunned, bowed his head and said, "It's not that I'm down, I wonder how an ordinary person like me can be favored by Lord Xie." ”
Wu Zetian was stunned and said: "I thought you were Yuan Xingjian, where is he now?" ”
Lin Jianlan didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "He witnessed the tragic death of Master Xie, and he was so sad and angry that he didn't know where he went. ”
Su Luanxian still hated Wu Sansi, a pair of eyes only stared at Wu Sansi alone, as if there were two clusters of flames burning in his eyes, Wu Zetian sighed when he saw this scene and said: "Wu Sansi, let me ask you, you bought iron and bronze in Jiangnan privately, and even built a smelting workshop privately, the evidence was found by Xie Yaohuan, and now Su Luanxian is handed over to me, what do you have to say?"
Wu Sansi was stunned for a while, stood for a long time, Fang's whole body trembled violently, and he was just about to speak, and then he heard Wu Zetian say: "I thought that you and Lai Junchen volunteered to come to Jiangnan, but with selfish intentions, you wanted to avenge Xie Yaohuan's killing of Cai Shaobing and Wu Hong's accusation before, it turned out that you came to Jiangnan in a hurry with other intentions, because you were afraid that Xie Yaohuan would take your lair and shake out these secrets that you couldn't see the light of day in Jiangnan, but right?"
Wu Sansi knelt down on the ground and said: "Aunt, aunt, my nephew has bought copper and iron, but one of my nephew's disciples said that the Taihu Righteous Army will be requisitioned sooner or later, and there is a shortage of weapons and baggage, if the nephew can dedicate it to his aunt at the moment of biting, it must be a great and great achievement, the nephew is confused, the nephew is confused! The nephew will definitely punish the nonsensical doorman when he goes back, if the aunt is willing, what if he kills him? Auntie, you must forgive your nephew for this!"
Wu Zetian chuckled and said: "Is it pushed on the doorman again this time? You can pick it up every time, I think the life lawsuit in Suzhou and the land annexation of your son will account for at least eighty percent, but Cai Shaobing took his life for your son, although he came to Junchen to avenge his brother, but the brothers with different surnames have some friendship, and it is not to please you? Even if a person like you has the intention of making trouble, I'm not afraid, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the rabbit and the dog cooking, how many people are willing to work for you sincerely?"
A cold sweat of reprimand scolded Wu Sansi trickled down, and he didn't dare to refute and defend himself, Wu Zetian's temperament he figured out for many years, but in the end it was always the words "unpredictable", even if he was annoyed today, it was possible.
Lin Jianlan only understood at this time why Wu Sansi and Lai Junchen were planning to kill Xie Zhongju, it turned out that she had found evidence of Wu Sansi's private weaponry here, and now when she heard Wu Sansi push the matter on the doorman, her heart moved again, I don't know if the doorman is Wei Suxin, if so, this is clearly to cause Wu Sansi to die, and she couldn't help staring at Wu Zetian without blinking, I don't know how she will fall.
After a while, Wu Zetian sighed, looked extremely tired, and said: "If you don't make a material, you will immediately cut off all your duties and stop working for a year." ”
Wu Sansi instantly collapsed on the ground, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Long live Xie." ”
Su Luanxian's eyes widened instantly, looking at Wu Zetian, disappointed, Lin Jianlan had to walk over and shook his head lightly at her, the crowd outside was also extremely uneven, but since he had killed Lai Junchen, King Liang was the emperor's nephew after all, so what could he do.
Wu Zetian regrouped his spirit and said loudly: "To appease the return of the Taihu Righteous Army, I will send trustworthy people to uphold Lord Xie's will and exempt Jiangnan from taxes for the next three years." ”
The matter has come to this, as if there is always injustice in the heart, it seems that Xie Zhongju exchanged a life for a life of Junchen, but how can the lives of the two be the same in the hearts of people? Naturally, they always feel that they have lost the life of Lord Xie, a loyal minister, this is not the ending they want, even if the crowd hears about the tax reduction, they are all sullen and can't raise their interest, but if Wu Zetian is asked to kill his nephew, it is naturally impossible, so he has to disperse in twos and threes, and his heart is still unwilling.
I don't know when the rain has stopped, and the front of the Suzhou Mansion has also become quiet again, Wu Zetianfang said softly: "Luan Xian, you came to Jiangnan with Xie Yaohuan, and you have also experienced a lot with her, and I am afraid that you must be appeased." ”
Su Luanxian knelt down straight and said, "Holy Lord, forgive the servant for the death penalty, the servant is unwilling." ”
Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... I thought you would be willing to carry on Yaohuan's aspirations. ”
Su Luanxian said: "My sister has gone, my maid is discouraged, I just want to accompany my sister for a lifetime, if the saint is favorable, the servant is willing to keep filial piety for my sister on the shore of Taihu Lake, if the saint does not allow it, then the servant can only die." ”
Lin Jianlan's nose was sour, listening to her absolute decision, he was afraid that he would offend the moody empress, but he heard Wu Zetian sigh: "Alas, aren't you weird?" The tone was very soft, and a little helpless, and his heart was touched, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "When she is revealing her true feelings and when is just an illusion, it is really difficult to understand." ”
Su Luanxian said expressionlessly: "How dare the servant, I only hope for the grace of the saint." ”
Wu Zetian said: "That's it, Yaohuan has already gone, will I still be difficult for you?" Tomorrow I will issue an order to posthumously crown Xie Yaohuan as An Guohou, and order you to guard the soul in Taihu Lake." ”
Su Luan Xianfang kowtowed and thanked him, Tang Zimu immediately walked to Wu Zetian's side, Wu Zetian put his hand on the back of his hand, and was just about to go inward, Tang Zimu said: "Didn't it say that there was a corpse inside?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Wu Zetian's mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I don't know how long I haven't been here, but you think thoughtfully." ”
The two of them walked down the steps, Wu Sansi was resigned, and wanted to step forward, but he didn't dare to step forward, but he heard Wu Zetian turn around and scold: "Stupid, don't come with me yet." ”
Wu Sansi Fang followed happily when he heard Lunyin, and held Wu Zetian's other arm, Lin Jianlan shook his head and said secretly in his heart: "As the saying goes at home, 'Aunt and cousin, from generation to generation, discount bones and tendons; Even if the nephew does a lot of evil, the aunt always has to be so tolerant, which is naturally good, but I don't know how many more incidents will occur in the future to make Li Min suffer. ”
Wu Zetian walked a few steps, but found that there were only these few people around him, so he turned around and said, "Luan Xian, don't you follow me?"
Su Luanxian shook his head and said, "The maid and this son are still going back to the inn, and they will go to the place of the guardian tomorrow, and don't worry about the saint." ”
Wu Zetian knew that she had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more, turned around and walked away slowly, and in an instant, the gorgeous golden street disappeared again, and it was still a gray and muddy street in front of her eyes.
There was another muffled thunder in the sky in the gloomy sky, and the thunder that disappeared after a short sound was even more incomprehensible, Lin Jianlan muttered: "Su Wenwen, let's go back quickly, I'm afraid it will rain heavily." ”
I thought that the rain would last for a few days, and I didn't want the clouds to disperse on the second day, the excellent weather, thinking that Su Wenwen would be alone with Xie Zhongju's grave, Lin Jianlan didn't know how to persuade her, so she had to silently hire a carriage and run towards Taihu Lake.
It is still a lotus pond that stretches on both sides of the strait, but the mood is very different, Lin Jianlan looked at Su Luanxian, and said secretly in his heart: "If I don't take it for granted that Brother Yuan will definitely follow Master Xie, will Lord Xie die?" But he didn't dare to go deeper into this thought.
Looking out the window, I couldn't help but say: "It's strange today, passing by a few villages, there are people who are mourning, and paper money is flying all over the sky." ”
Su Luanxian still didn't speak, Lin Jianlan had no choice but to stop, let the carriage go straight to the edge of Taihu Lake, although the impression was the direction he was pointing to, but it didn't look like it from a distance, Lin Jianlan had to ask the coachman to stop the carriage, and Su Luanxian walked away, getting closer and closer, Fang saw that the small lonely tomb had changed its appearance, under the octagonal tablet pavilion, the tombstone more than one person high stood on it, engraved with "An Guo Hou Xie Yaohuan" A few big characters, the tomb is also built with bricks and stones, the front is planted with green pines and cypresses, not more than a few feet away from this stele pavilion, a small courtyard seems to appear out of thin air, white walls and black tiles, more solemn.
A woman stood in front of the pavilion, holding incense in her hand, praying silently and then handing the incense to a young man next to him, the young man bowed down and inserted it into the incense burner, Su Luanxian walked forward quickly, kneeling on her knees, tears were already flowing in her eyes.
The woman was Wu Zetian, and she mixed Su Luanxian with kindness and said: "You are guarding the spirit here, I don't worry, let them be sure to build it overnight, it is a little simpler, I have already sent a message, let the local government send officials and maids over, but if you have any needs, let them do it." ”
Su Luanxian nodded again and again, and Wu Zetian said again: "Don't blame me for being insincere, Wu Sansi didn't let him come, and presumably Yaohuan didn't want to see him." There's something going on in Beijing, I'm afraid I'll leave in a few days, so if you can't stay any longer, go back to accompany me, the old woman. ”
Su Luan Xianfu knelt down again and cried: "The Holy Servant can no longer serve with him, and the servant is here to pray for blessings, wishing His Majesty good health." ”
Regardless of whether this scene is true or false, Lin Jianlan is already uncomfortable to watch, seeing Wu Zetian looking at him, he couldn't help but kneel down hurriedly, Wu Zetian said: "Xie Yaohuan's testament once said that if that Yuan Yishi didn't dislike her, he would want me to marry the two of her, but it's a pity...... That's it, this young man, if you see him, tell me, if he wants, I want him to take his father's position. ”
Lin Jianlan nodded blankly, seeing that Wu Zetian and Tang Zimu's car was driving farther and farther, she said in her heart: "It turns out that she knows, knows the origin of Brother Yuan, and also knows that Zhou Xing was killed by Brother Yuan, and ordinary palace maids can't leave the palace when they die, but she values Lord Xie's courage and talent, let her inspect Jiangnan, and appease the righteous army, she is not a mediocre person, but she also allows Junchen to behave like a cool official, and she is also spoiled by Wu Sansi without boundaries, as well as those men in the Crane Mansion...... Well, what kind of person is she?"
But seeing that Su Luanxian had walked out of the courtyard again, he stepped forward and said, "But is there anything missing?"
Su Luanxian shook his head and said, "That's good." ”
Lin Jianlan said: "Su Wenwen, you ......" He wanted to say that at such an age like a flower, he was fortunate to be out of the palace, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a human being in the next life, but he was willing to accompany the green lantern here and guard the tomb for Xie Zhongju, his ambition was commendable, but it was still a pity for her.
Su Luanxian smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, I know what you want to say, this is really good, I don't want anything else." ”
Lin Jianlan had no choice but to say: "Really, that's fine, I don't know where I'm going next, if there is anything, look for me, it seems too fake, say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again, Su Wenwen, you have to take care." ”
