Chapter 255: Asking the Truth 1
"My grandfather insisted that he didn't do it, so how can I ...... Pei Huan, I think that my cultivation, cultivation, and strategy are stronger than my peers, and I think very highly of myself. But now, how helpless my position is, I can't even protect a woman I like, it's ridiculous......"
"Master......"
Pei Huan wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end, he still didn't say it.
When the sky was dark, when did the man in front of him, who had been with him for more than ten years, confide in him.
"Forget it, don't talk about this, bring some wine, you and I will rest as soon as we get drunk. ”
The wine is sad, and it has not turned into lovesick tears, but it is a little sad.
......
......
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, it snows in the middle of winter.
The snow wool was like cotton, tearing down all over the ground, and in just five days, the snow accumulated half a calf high.
Approaching the New Year, the large and small sacrifices in Yanyang City have been carried out one after another, and no matter how heavy the rain and snow are, they have not been too affected.
The guards of the Wangdu Patrol Institute take people to clean up the main street every day, and the bluestone street is covered with firecracker skin for a while, and snow for a while, always reminding passers-by that the year is approaching.
In a mansion just a moment away from King Mu's Mansion, four guys from Baicao Trading House were arranging a group of people to place furniture and other things.
An hour later, several porters finished their work and were pulling the wagon back.
"What kind of big family is this, don't look at the yellow calendar and put the furniture ......"
"Who do you care, triple the salary, you don't earn it! Just buy a hairpin for my mother-in-law......
"I saw it, the person who ordered the order was a big lady, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, covered with white veil, but she was generous and luxurious, and even our shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off. ”
"What kind of lady can be who can show her face, I'm afraid it's not a little prostitute redeemed by a big official, and she wants to hide Jiaojiao in the golden house. ”
A few people laughed, and suddenly there was a "snap", and the last person who spoke covered his face, leaving a touch of red and two broken teeth on the snow.
The man covered his face and saw a tall figure in front of him, who was standing in front of him at some point, and a man riding a horse in the distance blocked the way of the convoy.
He was horrified, "Who are you?!"
"Keep your mouth shut. Pei Huan said viciously, and the opposite side of the next side was immediately silenced.
Qi Muxiao turned around and asked the other person, "When did the woman order the goods?"
Only then did a few people see that the man was wearing an ink-colored coat, revealing a crimson official uniform and dark embroidered clothes in front of him, and his status was noble.
"That's it...... I just opened the shop this morning......"
Qi Muxiao motioned to Pei Huan, and the two left in a hurry.
......
......
In the evening, the west courtyard of the city.
A white shadow fell into the courtyard, as if it merged with the uncleared snow.
He saw the candlelight in the main hall, and the paper windows showed the figures of people, familiar hair buns and movements.
It should be him.
I was indescribably excited.
Before he pushed the door in, he had already called out, "Second Senior Brother!"
Luo Li drank a glass of wine, looked up and saw that the eyes of the visitor suddenly darkened, and said with a smile: "Fourth senior brother, don't come unharmed." ”
No matter how quick Wen Yuancheng's mind was, he was speechless at this time.
Before he could speak, Luo Li had filled the wine cup on the other side, "Or should I call you Jiang Yuecheng, the young master of the Dusk Cloud family? Or is it Mengxiaolou's words?" or something else?"
Wen Yuancheng was stunned, his lips were tightly closed, and he stood for a long time with a cup of tea, and when he came back to his senses, fine sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
He took two steps forward, but he didn't dare to move forward, and called in a dumb voice: "Little five......"
"The year is approaching, I didn't expect you to accompany me, this is the aged plum blossom brew I bought from the wine shop, although it is not as good as your brew, but it is also excellent. ”
Wen Yuancheng sat down, but did not clink glasses.
"When will Senior Brother also prevent me?"
"No, it's just that you like to drink, and I happen to have two jars with me. Wen Yuancheng took out two jars from the storage bag and threw them to her, "Taste it." ”
Luo Li didn't open it, still pouring himself a drink.
"Didn't you defend me too?"
"Senior brother is bold and careful, he can touch the dragon couch, how can ordinary people reach it, I naturally have to be careful. ”
Jiang Yuecheng smiled bitterly, "Little Wu, why are you trying to tease me...... I have my own calculations, and I have a deep blood feud, and I must take revenge. ”
"What kind of blood feud can make senior brother Feixiong become Fuxiong? Are you willing to be Emperor Qi's male favorite? You have grievances and revenge, but you can conspire to gain power and confuse the dynasty, what is your intention? Now the court is chaotic, internal and external troubles, Kyushu will be in chaos, and the people will suffer......
"The Wen family's two hundred and eighteen lives, as well as the lives of the master...... How do you understand?"
Luo Li's face was as usual, but his heart was half-down.
Shi Niang's death is actually related to the Wen family?
Could it be that the fourth senior brother is the descendant of the Duyun Wen family of the Xuanji Prince?!
The Wen family is the originator of buying and selling information, and their ancestors have made a living from this, and the news of the Wen family has never been wrong.
But for some reason, he was convicted more than 20 years ago, and the whole family was destroyed. Jiang Banjiao took the opportunity to take over.
"Then tell me about it, and let me understand. ”
"This matter has nothing to do with you. ”
She couldn't retreat, gritted her teeth and said, "Then don't go out of this door today!"
"You're going to do it with me?"
"I don't want to, but it has to be so. You are a guest of King Jing on the surface, but secretly you are dismantling his forces, colluding with the Northern Barbarian royal family behind your back, and you have contact with King Rui, what do you want to do?"
"His Royal Highness King Rui is right, Xiao Wu is indeed able to make good decisions, and he has already understood the cause and effect from the rat infestation, and he can even know that I am not what I say. If you were a man, you would be a strategist. ”
"You're one of the King of Wise?"
"Yes, I don't hide it from you, I don't want you to misunderstand. If you are friendly with King Rui, you naturally know that he is of good character and brave in battle. I am willing to assist him, and it is also for the people of Kyushu. Emperor Qi is arrogant and lascivious, lingering in the sound of dogs and horses, even if the country is rich and the people are strong now, it has long been falling apart, and the mountains and rivers are broken, which is a foregone conclusion. Wen Yuancheng sighed and continued: "Xiao Wu, you have seen his mediocrity, how can you accuse me of confusing the dynasty?"
"Are you willing to use the lives of innocent people as bargaining chips?
Wen Yuancheng's tone has been gentle from the beginning to the present, and Wu Nong's soft words are even softer, but as soon as he heard this, his eyes suddenly gloomy and his tone was indifferent.
"Zhao Hanqing, heh, Xiao Wu, you actually mentioned this person, then I will tell you, what is the relationship between him and my Jiang Wen family! When he was a teacher of Taixue, he traveled to Guancheng and had some talent, although my father was a native of the rivers and lakes, he liked poetry, so the two became friends. At that time, Huizhou Youtong was secretly popular, and his father regarded him as unbearable, and occasionally broke his obscene behavior, and then cut off his robe. At that time, Zhao Hanqing was promoted to a doctor, and later returned to the royal capital to serve, and in the second year, an edict took 218 lives from my Wen family. ”
Luo Li never thought that Zhao Hanqing, a distant relative of Princess Rui, would have a great deal to do with the Wen family's case.
"Little Wu, do you know what caused this?" he suddenly laughed softly, and he was terrible.
"The twilight is cold and the smoke is empty, and the new branches on the riverbank show a new dynasty. Luoshui flows and the clouds are noisy, and the autumn sound is strange and quiet. Xiao Wu, you have a lot of talent, why don't you tell me what this poem means?"
"The autumn color is bleak, looking at the end of the Luoshui water, silent and waveless, lonely, looking forward to tomorrow full of vitality. ”
"Zhao Hanqing's old son, a doctor of Taixue, said that this is an anti-poem of the change of ownership of the country, showing a new dynasty, without a Qi country, is it more ridiculous than the ignorance I thought of him?"
