Chapter 4 The Legend of Cats and Ghosts (33) - Crazy Father and Rotten Daughter

☆☆☆

After going down, Zhao Ji didn't bother to have breakfast, but went back to the imperial study directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt that time, he was still worried about the fire in the capital, but at this time, his mood suddenly became very good.

Why?

It's not because of the eunuch in charge of Funing Palace, who hurried back to the palace. In fact, before the emperor went to court, Li Xian got the letter first, and as soon as he heard that the news of the return was good, he secretly enjoyed himself for a long time.

When he returned to the imperial study of Funing Palace, the emperor immediately announced to the eunuch who had been sent out.

Although this eunuch failed to keep up with the sword shop at first, for the sake of rich rewards and a great future, he was as persistent as a hyena and kept in Kaifeng Mansion. As soon as he received the news of the fire from the west of the city, he rushed to Stone Village with the catchers. The fire had already been controlled by Wufan, and he just looked at it from a distance as if Lan Yuanxiao and Jian Yan were arguing.

When he reported to the emperor, from how Lan Yuanxiao annoyed the gods in Kaifeng Mansion, was dragged away, and then the two fought in the fire, he told them all with added fuel and vinegar.

Seeing that there was a faint smile on the corner of His Majesty's mouth, the eunuch worked harder, and said it in a loud voice, as if everything was happening in front of him: Lan Yuanxiao's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his head was covered with blood. After being beaten, he couldn't be arrogant anymore, knelt on the ground and obediently listened to the reprimand of Lord Shenzhu, saying what to say, "Discipline one or two for the official family and the queen mother!"

Li Xian almost clapped his hands on the spot.

The eunuch said: "Lan Yuanxiao was finally carried into the car, and his body was covered in blood, and Weichen saw it really well!"

Li Xian asked, "Where is Lan Yuanxiao now?"

"He got on the medical car of the Hidden Fire Army's 'Wuban', and said that he was sent to the Jiaomen camp by Lord Divine Hunting!"

Zhao Ji's face was tense, but he felt extremely relieved in his heart. He cleared his throat and said, "This errand is well done, go down and receive the reward!"

"No!" replied the eunuch with joy in his heart.

When the people retreated, Li Xian praised: "Lord Wang's method is really wonderful! In less than a day, Lan Yuanxiao's wine bag and rice bag have appeared!"

Zhao Ji said: "I heard that the god sword hunting has always been arrogant, but he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and he can't see a villain like Lan Yuanxiao, it seems that I want to reward him well!"

Li Xian said: "Master, Lord Shenzhu is so effective, it is better to continue to let him be this 'fire officer' and train the stinky boy surnamed Lan well!"

Zhao Xuan said in his heart: Lan Yuanxiao has simply become the tip of the queen mother's heart! That day, he left the palace with his front foot, and the queen mother sent someone to pass the word, saying that he had promised to let Lan Yuanxiao listen to the errand in front of the emperor, but he lent it to me to send, no matter whether I issued a decree or issued an edict, she had to nod her old man's permission before he could be released. This time, Lan Yuanxiao suffered and suffered outside, and when he returned to his mother to cry, wouldn't it be even more difficult to call it out again! Li Xian's words are not bad, it is better to take advantage of Lan Yuanxiao's injury and not come back, and plan the plan...... If something happens in the future, it really angers the queen mother, and God catches the second brother's person, and this account must also be recorded on the second brother's head!

He pondered for a moment and said, "Lan Yuanxiao has made meritorious contributions to fighting fires, and he is instructed to continue to supervise firefighting matters and rectify the hidden fire army." Finally, he added lightly, "It's still under the supervision of the sword shop!"

"Master Shengming! Master ......"

Zhao Ji glared at Li Xian and said, "Go to Baoci Palace to spread my message, and ask the queen mother to answer!"

"No!"

As the day passed, Chris was still asleep, completely unaware of other people's "good intentions".

Day and night alternated, and three or four days passed in a flash.

When the night came, the prison of Kaifeng Mansion was so quiet that it was frightening. This is a kind of silence that makes people feel more eerie than the silence of loneliness. A deathly silence permeated the cell, and few of the new prisoners could endure it.

However, this time there is a special case. The newcomer liked the silence so much that he felt as if it was a place to calm down, and maybe he could write a new tune.

Suddenly there was the creak of locks and latches, followed by the sound of the door opening. The footsteps in the cell grew louder, and I could hear footsteps that weren't a person. Moments later, candles lit the walls of the cell, and someone stopped at the door.

A rough voice said: "Little girl, we made an exception to let you in to deliver food because we saw your filial piety!"

The other jailer opened the door and shouted, "So, hurry up!"

"Little girl saved!" answered in a childish voice, "This little bit of heart is not respectful, the two uncles will drink and eat!"

"Haha, what's embarrassing?" the rough-throated jailer took the silver coin, and the lantern in his hand illuminated the girl's face, "You baby is sensible......"

The little girl was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with a round face, some baby fat, and many freckles on both cheeks. But she talks and acts like a little adult, and she is very clever and well-behaved.

"My father is just a violinist, he has never done anything bad, and he has never suffered such a ......," she said aggrieved and pitiful, and tears fell from her eyes. In the dark prison, under the faint candle flame, those few teardrops were particularly dazzling, "Please take care of my father a lot!"

The jailer who held the lamp felt that the little girl was pitiful, and persuaded: "Little girl, don't worry, Lord Shenzhu has explained it, so I put your father here." You see that there are no other prisoners around, and no one will bully him!"

Another said: "It's almost a prison meal, don't we also let you bring in the food?"

The little girl nodded, wiped her tears, and walked into the prison with the food box.

She walked over slowly, scanning the cell with an inquiring gaze.

There was a small window at the top of the wall, and the moonlight shone through the fence, illuminating the land. You can see clearly by the moonlight, there is a straw mat on the ground, a pair of cloth shoes are placed in front of the mat, and a person is lying on his side facing the wall, and it is not clear whether he is asleep or awake.

The little girl called softly: "Dad, my daughter has brought you food!"

There was a sound of the door closing behind him, and the door lock "banged", and the jailer instructed: "Time for a stick of incense!"

The two jailers turned back and left.

Listening to the footsteps in the distance, the little girl bent down and knelt on the mat, urging: "Everyone is gone, Dad, you can't get up yet!"

Zong Zhe sat up from the mat, rubbed his hands, and asked, "Good Qing'er, what delicious food will you send me?"

The little girl handed over the food box, he opened it and said, "Stir-fried tofu with carrots, stir-fried choy sum, and lotus cabbage...... Why are they all vegetarian?"

Qing'er said: "Dad, don't you always hate this and that invitation on weekdays, you are tired of big fish and meat, and Qing'er also tries to make vegetarian food for you at home!

"Hey, people are so cheap, nothing is rare. I can't eat meat, so I think about gluttony!"

"Oh, there's steamed eggs on the bottom layer!" Qing'er looked at her father's face becoming thinner and thinner, and felt a little distressed. After thinking about it, "Then I'll make you braised pork tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay!" Zong Zhe picked up the chopsticks, began to enjoy them, and took two bites: "It's still a girl's craftsmanship, this prison meal in Kaifeng Mansion is enough!" After eating two more bites, he asked again, "By the way, did the arsonist catch it?"

Qing'er didn't answer, her mouth was pursed high, and her hands were crossed in front of her chest.

"What do you ask?"

"No!" she said angrily, "It's not that I complain about my father, I have to save some piano score at the critical moment." Let me chase it alone, and I lost it halfway!"

"Among those piano scores are Zhao Yeli's high apprentice Gongsun Chang's piano scores, and they are the only ones, it's a pity to lose them! I can't bear it, I can't bear it!" The strong emotion made his voice have a very deep trill, his eyes involuntarily moistened, and after a long pause, Zong Zhe said, "If you lose it, you will lose it!"

"Humph!"

"Angry?" Zong Zhe said as he ate, "As the old saying goes, if you lose your horse, you don't know if you are blessed...... Although people didn't catch up, it became another thing!"

"Another thing?"

"After you chased you out, I lit a fire in a sheltered place, bent on saving those piano scores. ”

Qing'er's teasing was a little pity: "When Dad sees the piano score, he is no different from a stupid person, and he doesn't regret it even if he puts his life into it!"

Zong Zhe didn't care about it, and continued: "Dad didn't care about anyone approaching at all, but he was hit by a few Kaifeng Mansion catchers, and he wanted to put them all down, but after thinking about it, it is better to go and probe the tone of Kaifeng Mansion and see what they have found." They escorted me past a ladder, and I saw several high-ranking officials surrounding the ladder, looking up one by one. I pricked up my ears and said what they wanted to ask to see 'Special Envoy Xiaolan-sama'. Your father's luck is so good! I was overjoyed that I ran into him, isn't it like pie in the sky?"

"Is it really him?"

Zong Zhe took a bite of the steamed bun and said, "Then there is still a fake?"

Qing'er said secretly: Dad is really lucky with shit. She suddenly urged and asked, "Dad, tell me quickly, is that little blue lady really as beautiful as rumored?"

"That's right, that's right, the posture is good, and the expression is also good!"

"With such a good appearance and a good look, how can Qing'er judge how she was born......" she interjected and asked, "You said that compared with Brother Murong and Brother Qin Yun, what should he think?"

"It's naturally inferior to the 'Hanlian Fairy', but it's better than the 'Mortal Prince'!"

Qing'er sighed and said, "That's one of the best in the world!"

"Except for his appearance, he doesn't seem to match the rumors...... "Zong Zhe recalled slightly, "not only did he not go to see those big officials, but he also ran to the white tent to save people...... When I see Lord Divine Catcher, I immediately think about it. I heard that the sword shop hated the arsonist the most, so I deliberately annoyed him, and led them to the White Tent. At that time, I was thinking of staging a bitter trick so that I could get into the white tent, let the little blue lady treat my injuries, and then wait for the opportunity to approach. Who knew that Lord Xiaolan not only saved your father, but also quarreled with the sword. ”

When Qing'er saw her father say this, her eyelids twitched slightly, revealing his excitement. Xindao: It's so strange! Dad only shows such a focused gaze when he talks about things related to music and opera.

"Witty as your father, you just 'let this' Lord Lan save his life, and there will be a justifiable excuse to see him in the future!" he sighed and said, "Qing'er, do you know that when my father first took over this task, he was so embarrassed to die! You said that he was an internal servant, how could I get close?"

Qing'er pouted and said, "It's very difficult, if you enter the palace and be stabbed, it's not done!"

These words made Zong Zhe, who was eating a mouthful of dried tofu, choke and coughed.

Qing'er saw that her father was in a hurry to speak, and added: "Anyway, Dad has already given birth, and there is nothing if there is a gelding!"

"Ahem...... cough ......" soothing his breath, Zong Zhe scolded, "You girl, what nonsense!"

I'm not wrong!, Qing'er stuck out her tongue.

"Anyway, I made an agreement with him, and as soon as I went out, he would come to me in the tile!"

"Go out?" Qing'er squinted at him, "Our violin-making workshop and the oil workshop opened at almost the same time, Lord Shenzhu will be suspicious of you sooner or later, and you want to go out?"

"Hey, you stinky girl hasn't married yet, why do you turn your elbow out, towards outsiders?"

"Lord Divine Catcher is both wise and brave, and powerful in the world, Qing'er naturally admires it very much. And he definitely won't come like his father, lose his mind and lose his mind because of small things!"

The stinky girl changed her way to count me. With a weird smile, Zong Zhe deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "You are so obsessed with that divine catcher, do you know what I heard in prison?"

Qing'er was surprised and asked, "What?"

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, bent his two thumbs, put them face to face, and whispered: "I heard that Lord Shenzhu and Lord Xiaolan are this ......"

"Huh?" Qing'er also made the same gesture to each other, as if asking, "Are they a couple?"

"Well, the catchers all say so in private...... Zong Zhe said in his heart: Seeing that you are still obsessed with that bastard sword shop, he loves Hu Lai more than your father, and my shoulder is still hot and painful now.

However, Qing'er didn't show the disappointed expression she expected, and a slight blush swept over her freckled cheeks like lightning. She giggled and said, "Dad, you said it yourself, Lord Xiaolan is a peerless beauty, and she is very compatible with Lord Shenzhu!"

Zong Zhe suddenly felt depressed and scolded: "Idiot!

"Qing'er originally thought that Brother Murong was a good match for Lord Shenzhu, and I mentioned it to him a few times, but he said that he didn't like men!"

"What are you talking about?" Zong Zhe's eyes widened and asked, "You go and persuade that 'Murong Mao' to be good with the man Yan?" You stinky girl, do you want me to lose my job!"

"Brother Murong isn't angry with me......"

Zong Zhe said in his heart: That person hates being treated as a woman the most in his life because of his appearance! Last time, there was a son, but he had bad thoughts about him, and as a result, he was cut off from his grandchildren...... Murong Mo also likes to hold grudges the most, don't worry about you little girl, and come to me when she turns around!

"I'll never mention this to him again!" Qing'er said in her heart, anyway, she changed her goal.
