Chapter 19 Death and Righteousness 1

The two of them stepped into the Yingwu Palace, and saw He Hulai and the other four guards greet him, He Hulai said: "Brother, you are back, a few of us have come to invite my brother to the Drunken Immortal Residence to drink two cups," he said, and said with a low voice: "Nie Guifei asked you to bring the distinguished guests of the palace."

Gu Yuecong didn't expect the four of them to return to Beijing, and he dared to swagger here to spread the word, thinking: "Honorable guest, is he referring to Long'er or Linglong girl?" and said, "Go to the house and talk." Then the people came to the hall and closed the door. Gu Yuecong asked: "Brother He, why did you come back? Brother Tianhao?" He Hulai said: "The prince of the county is still in the Duwei Mansion, and it was Liu Lei Ao who ordered that the person who pursued Brother Tianhao in vain that day will not be investigated, and we dare to come back on an errand when we see the notice." Gu Yuecong was stunned for a moment, and said: "The four palace guards, why would Liu Leiao personally give this order?" Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that Liu Leiao's move is to use the four to find out the whereabouts of Brother Tianhao?" and asked: "Have you been followed all the way?" He Hulai said: "Don't worry, we slipped out of the Duwei's Mansion last night, and rushed to the north of the woods while it was dark, and at dawn today, we came back from the north with a swagger, even if Liu Leiao's people tracked down, they would never find out where Brother Tianhao was hiding." Gu Yuecong frowned, still not at ease, He Hulai said again: "As soon as we came back, we realized that we were not the only ones who pursued the prince of the county that day, and Zhao Er really asked me to wait for the official to be reinstated, and I was not held accountable." As soon as we stood at the palace gate for a while, Niangniang sent someone to ask me to invite Gu Yuecong to bring a distinguished guest from the palace to the Drunken Immortal Residence for a gathering. Gu Yuecong asked: "Niangniang said who is the distinguished guest?" He Hulai said: "Niangniang didn't say." Ouyang Long'er said proudly: "Naturally, it's Miss Ha." Gu Yuecong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you told her?" Ouyang Long'er said: "I think you will take the bracelet to see General Ha, it will inevitably lead to suspicion, it is better to ask her to give an idea, she only said that she must want the father and daughter to meet as soon as possible, I didn't expect it to be so soon." Gu Yue Cong knew that she and Nie Guifei still had some mustard, but she didn't expect that she was so deep in the city that she didn't care. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, you let Linglong girl dress up, and we'll go to the Drunken Immortal Residence." Ouyang Long'er went happily, He Hulai's eyes widened, and asked, "Is the county lord of Linglong still alive?" Gu Yuecong was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Brother He, what's going on, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, it depends on today." ”

After a while, Ouyang Long'er led another bearded man to walk out slowly, everyone looked at the two of them again and again, He Hulai said: "Brother Gu, these two friends are not angry and arrogant, they are genuine, and they are really amazing." ”

Everyone laughed, all the way out of the palace, crossed the Di'an Gate, came to the Bell and Drum Tower, and walked north for about a quarter of an hour, He Hu suddenly said: "Brother Gu, all the way over, I always feel that someone is staring at us." Gu Yuecong walked forward and said in a low voice: "There are just two eunuchs who followed us all the way, and they are gone now." After a pause, he continued: "The man on the left who bought the basket is not a farmer, but a eunuch, and the village woman in front of him who picks tofu is dressed as a palace maid." He Hulai glanced at the man who bought the basket, and saw that he was fat, full of beard, and spoke very roughly, without a trace of eunuch appearance, and looked at the village woman, and saw that she was carrying two baskets of tofu, and only cared about walking with her head down, he looked at it for a long time, and could not see the clue at all, and said strangely: "How do you know?" Gu Yuecong said: "The people on the street are staring at the woman who is playing tricks in the west, but this big man is not moved at all, isn't it strange? Also, he has no Adam's apple, so it can be seen that he has entered the palace since he was a child. Everyone was impressed, and a guard couldn't help but say: "What's the matter with that palace maid?" Gu Yuecong said: "Ordinary village women, used to rough work, must be full of calluses, this palace maid's hands are very white, she always walks with her head down, one is because the tofu weighs down on the shoulder, the other is used to being called, you see, her index finger and thumb have calluses, if I guess correctly, she is the weaver in the palace." "Everyone threw themselves to the ground. Ouyang Long'er said: "Hey, what are you afraid of, with Big Brother Gu here, do you still have to worry about these things?"

Everyone got rid of the suspicious people, not long after, hugged and shouted to come to the drunken immortal residence, look around, but see the drunken immortal residence in the north according to the mountains, south of the Xiongjiang River, west of the official road of the capital, south to north, boats and vehicles are complicated, people are bustling, it is really magnificent. It was noon, the weather was very hot, but there were a cluster of tourists outside the drunken immortal residence, it seemed that there were some delicacies in this inn that everyone had to eat, and they would rather be exposed to the sun outside, but also wait in line.

Gu Yue Cong saw that the inn was crowded, and said secretly: "Nie Guifei really knows how to choose a place." He and everyone squeezed into the crowd, and suddenly saw an old man dressed as a small two coming over and said to He Hulai: "Master He, please come here." "On the one hand, we will open the way in front, and on the other hand, we will lead everyone into the Drunken Immortal Residence.

As soon as they entered the drunken immortal residence, everyone suddenly felt that the cold hair was relaxed, and the whole body was cold, and this drunken immortal residence was like an autumn pool, which was indescribably cool. Only then did everyone understand that passers-by were blocking the door, just to enjoy the cold wind blowing in the store.

Everyone followed the old man into a corridor north of the lobby, lifted the curtain, and arrived at the back kitchen, the old man opened the back door of the back kitchen, squatted down, and lifted a hollow gutter board. The old man beckoned and jumped down, everyone looked at each other, and followed, and a road that was passable appeared in front of everyone. Everyone turned around, tossing and turning, and not long after, they felt that the cold air hit, and it was like being in an ice cellar.

The fellow guards couldn't help but shout, and He Hulai praised: "I used to come here often, but I only knew that this place was warm in winter and cool in summer, and it was a good place to cool off, and I never thought that there was a secret passage under the inn." The old man didn't answer, and everyone walked with him through a narrow and dark road, when suddenly it became bright, and a guard couldn't help but point: "Look, fish!"

Everyone took advantage of the situation to look, and saw that there was a very large and extremely thick glass embedded in the stone wall not far away, and the river fish outside the glazed glass swam in groups, such as soaring in mid-air, Gu Yuecong grew up in Helan, who had seen such a wonderful scene, and was dumbfounded, and the old man was full of color, and said: "This is the treasure of the shopkeeper's town store." ”

Gu Yuecong asked, "What is beyond this glaze, but the river outside the door?"

The old man said: " This son has good eyesight, you have seen it all the way, this place is cold in winter and hot in summer, every winter, the weather is cold, the river is frozen, and the travelers are scarce, the people who are willing to walk more than ten miles from the capital to drink in the store are countable, every summer, the weather is extremely hot, the past travelers would rather walk more than ten miles to the capital, and do not want to stay here, this shop was going to close thirteen years ago, fortunately one day, the eighth prince happened to drive to the building, saw the river in front of the building, the scenery was excellent, I couldn't bear to close the store like this, so I gave the shopkeeper an idea, saying that the river is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature is normal in all seasons, if you can dig out a secret passage under the drunken immortal residence, with iron pipes connected to the inn around, so that the river temperature and the inn communicate, you can make the inn warm in winter and cool in summer, the four seasons as usual. When everyone heard this idea, they all felt that it was wonderful, but this is a big project, but it is not yet known whether it is feasible, and the shopkeeper has been losing money year after year, how can there be so much silver to dig a secret road to lay iron pipes. The eighth prince is really kind-hearted, not only lending silver to the shopkeeper, but also inviting famous craftsmen in the palace to supervise the construction for the shopkeeper. This is not an easy task, digging too close to the river, afraid that the water will rush in and wash away the store, digging too shallow, the temperature can not be connected, and can not be installed with glass and iron pipes, the craftsmen from the palace are really good, a month later finally came up with a way, he ordered people to first dig down on a boulder in the south of the inn, chisel and then build a thick layer of granite, the glass and iron pipe are pre-loaded into it, and then dig from the river to the inn, so that the river water leads to the boulder, but it will not wash away the inn. On the day when the passage was dug through, we blew a cool breeze, from here to look at the fish swimming in the river, not to mention how beautiful it is, the drunken immortal residence has since become a treasure land that is warm in winter and cool in summer, four o'clock in the year, the business is very good, this secret room has also become the most secret place in the drunken fairy building, not to mention that outsiders do not know, even if someone imitates, it is not the point, ah, you see, you see, this is called Ang male fish, it is hidden under the water during the day, this thing still thinks we can't see it. ”
