Chapter 2: Cooking Wine and Talking about the Rivers and Lakes (4)
The drunken Taoist priest walked to the kang again, and he set the overturned kang table upside down.
There was still a pot of tea hot on the stove, and it was not damaged from the fight just now.
The drunken Taoist priest lifted the teapot, took a bowl from the cupboard, poured a bowl of tea, and drank a few sips. He was injured by the man in red, and he felt a tightness in his chest at the moment. After drinking the tea, he let out two more breaths.
Then the drunken Taoist priest said: "The man in red is indeed sent by the emperor." When you killed him, you did cause a great disaster. But don't worry, you're here to save me, and this will never get out. As for me hiding from you......"
At this moment, the sound of looking forward to returning sounded in the courtyard.
"Lao Tzu went to buy some wine and meat, and something happened. Who is this dead ghost in red...... Wait a minute, the sign hanging from this guy's waist is golden, and I have to drag it down......"
But the mother-in-law would not let Wang come back and pick up the sign, because whether it was the corpse or the clothes, they would destroy it, and there would be no evidence left.
I hope to return and have a long memory, and I no longer provoke my mother-in-law. did not insist on dragging the gold medal off.
Lin Yi walked out of the house and saw Wang Hui holding two jars of wine in both hands. He was carrying two bulging bags of marijuana. It's like carrying two hills on your back.
It turned out that I wanted to come back and buy things back, but I realized that something had happened when I heard Xiaohong. He didn't even put his things down, but rushed to find out what was going on.
Wang returned and said to Lin Yi: "Brother Xian, Lao Tzu bought ten bowls, and also bought half a pig, as well as lamb legs, fish, rice and noodles ......."
Lin Yi walked up to him, took a jar of wine and said, "Brother, you have worked hard, you go back and put down your things first." Then wait for me. I'll go back and make you something to eat. I'm no less skilled than my sisters. ”
When he returned, he saw that Lin Yi was safe and sound, so he happily carried his things and went back.
Lin Yi returned to the house with the wine.
The wind was blowing in from the broken windows. The temperature in the house quickly dropped.
Lin Yi took a piece of felt to block the window first, then walked to the stove and poured the pot of tea, and then poured a pot of wine and boiled it on the stove. After the wine was cooked, Lin Yi took another bowl, then sat cross-legged at the table on the kang and poured a bowl of wine for the drunken Taoist priest and himself.
Lin Yi picked up the bowl and said to the drunken Taoist priest: "I promised the Taoist chief to bring good wine to the door." Today, let's cook wine and have a chat. I'll do it first. ”
Lin Yi drank the wine first.
The drunken Taoist priest also took the wine and drank it.
The drunken Taoist priest wiped the wine stains on his mouth and looked at Lin Yi and said, "You let me not have to hide it anymore, what do you want to know?"
Lin Yi said, "Who are you?"
The drunken Taoist priest hesitated, and he said, "I must not have told you. But I'm old, and I might be gone one day. And you killed the emperor's man today, and since then you have been guilty of a great sin because of me, so I'll tell you. My name is Tianjizi. I was the only son of Tianji Shangren, the head of Tianji Palace. But King Lin, you are too young, and you may not know some old things about the rivers and lakes......"
Lin Yi poured wine for the drunken Taoist priest again, and he said with a smile: "Maybe I still know something." Dao Chief, you are also very honest, in fact, I also know that you are a Tianjizi. ”
The drunken Taoist priest was surprised when he heard Lin Yi's words, "How do you know?"
Lin Yi said: "Although I am young and know very little about the past of the rivers and lakes, my father-in-law, Su Houye, is a generation of wizards who know everything. He told me. ”
"It turned out that Su Qinghou told you. Hehe, it's been a few years since we last met. Now Su Qinghou's memory is constantly declining, and he still remembers me. It's a pity," the drunken Taoist priest sighed when he said this, with a look of pity on his face, and he continued: "Su Qinghou's generation of strange scholars, their memory ability is also difficult to compare with those who have never forgotten. For as long as he can remember, what kind of sound does a fly make when it flies by, what kind of shape does it take for him to drop a few grains of rice while eating, and what kind of clouds float in the sky...... He remembers it clearly. As long as he has seen and heard, everything is imprinted in his mind. But memory also became a source of torment for him. He couldn't forget it before, but now he can't. A generation of strange people, it's a pity ......"
Lin Yi was surprised when he heard this, the people of Tianji Palace were really pervasive.
Few people know about Su Qinghou's memory decline, but Tianjizi actually knows.
In this way, they also have people from Tianji Palace in the southern courtyard.
And the status is not low.
Fortunately, it is someone from Tianji Palace, if it is a person from Beifu, then I don't know how many secrets have been discovered.
Lin Yi said: "Dao Chief, why did the emperor kill you?"
The drunken Taoist priest said: "Back then, the scandal of the leakage of the concubine in the Tianji Palace caused a big disaster. The emperor sent troops to destroy the Tianji Palace and killed my father. also chased and killed the disciples of Tianji everywhere. After so many years, the successor emperor has not let go of the descendants of Tianji Palace, and is still secretly chasing and killing us......"
Lin Yi said: "You have too many secrets. ”
The drunken Taoist priest said: "Yes, there are too many secrets. And the inside story of the current emperor and several brothers when he won the heir, we are also in charge. So how can the emperor let me go. And it's not just the emperor who sent people to hunt me down. Even Lu Xiangye sent someone to hunt me down. One emperor and one prime minister want to get rid of me quickly, I am really fortunate in three lives. Haha......"
The drunken Taoist priest let out a burst of laughter.
I don't know if it's a smug meaning or a helpless smile.
Even Lu Xiangye began to hunt down Tianjizi, and Lin Yi's heart moved.
He remembered that Beigong Wuyang said to Qu Wuregret that he was saving someone's life. Beigong Wuyang said that person was godly, as if all the people in the world were not worth mentioning in front of this person at all.
Could it be that Lu Xiangye's pursuit and killing of the drunken Taoist priest has something to do with this.
Lin Yi said: "Dao Chief, I don't care about the emperor's affairs. I don't dare to care. So I don't ask again. And I won't ask about things that don't concern me. I'm afraid that knowing too much will lead to trouble. But why does this Lu Xiangye want to hunt you down. Please tell us the truth. ”
The drunken Taoist priest picked up the wine in front of him and took a few sips, and he put down the wine bowl.
"You saved me, but I can't tell you everything. There are some things that even if you kill me, I won't reveal anything. Also, although our Tianji Palace has a lot of secrets, it is not as rumored that it knows everything. We are also human beings, not gods. ”
Lin Yi said: "Do you know about Lu Xiangye?"
"Know some. And I can talk to you about this Lu Xiangye. The drunken Taoist priest stretched his injured arm, and he continued: "Beigong Wuyang, who was known as the immortal doctor back then, suddenly disappeared mysteriously, which attracted our attention. I ordered the people of the Heavenly Machine Palace to investigate this matter. As a result, Beigong Wuyang was brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Lu Xiangye. Moreover, Lu Xiangye also secretly built an underground palace for Beigong Wuyang. The dungeon is heavily guarded, and there are so many traps that it is difficult for a fly to enter. So there must be a secret hidden in the dungeon. Later, we found out that Beigong Wuyang was saving a person's life, and that person had a rare disease......"
Lin Yi hurriedly interjected when he heard this, "Who is that person, and what disease does he have?"
