Chapter 6: Brothers and Brothers
After sleeping until dawn and smelling the faint sandalwood, Luo Cheng woke up refreshed and happy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the big thief who used to get up early today rarely came to disturb, which surprised Luo Cheng, after he was dressed neatly, he was about to go to find Situ Lei, and he didn't want Yang Xiaotian to come to visit with a ghost.
Seeing the old boy's signature warm smile, Luo Cheng beat a drum in his heart, the old fox is happy, that is, someone is going to suffer, I don't know which unlucky guy has been tricked now......
When Yang Xiaotian told Luo Cheng about the matter, and the confession was put on the table, Luo Cheng felt incredible, the big thief actually started the business of picking flowers, could it be that he had only left his beloved for a few days, and he was really so anxious? Of course, this could not be the case, but unfortunately now that the life of the big thief is in the hands of others, Luo Cheng has no choice but to deal with it carefully.
Yang Xiaotian habitually knocked on the table, and said indifferently: "Virtuous brother, you don't know your heart, you don't know your heart, you should be cautious when you make friends next time! When you send you to the palace for your brother, you will inevitably have to hand over this case to the imperial brother for review, it seems that the big flower picking case that the people in the capital are panicking can be closed, and it can be regarded as giving the people of the capital the best year-end gift!"
"Can the case really be closed?"
Luo Cheng asked rhetorically: "I'm afraid this confession can't explain anything, this case is full of doubts, and it is very difficult to collect evidence alone, not to mention that Situ Lei's description of the previous case in the confession is also inconsistent, so it can also be convicted?"
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said: "It's difficult to do, virtuous brother! The evidence can be supplemented, killing such a vicious person, the people will only clap their hands and applaud, with their imagination, word of mouth, three people can become tigers, do you believe it or not?"
"This ......!"
It seems that the other party's wishful thinking is to ask Situ Lei to take the blame, first, he can be angry with the people, and secondly, he can give an account to the emperor, and the old fox still wants to exchange something with him......
Luo Cheng thought very thoroughly, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at the other party's eyes and said flatly: "Situ Lei only came to Luojing yesterday, and he was still a guest in the Moon Mansion until late at night, but he didn't expect to become Brother Yang's prisoner today, this matter is indeed tortuous and bizarre, why did Brother Yang teach me?"
Yang Xiaotian smiled slightly, as if muttering to himself: "It's a pity that the power of the death row prisoner is not in the hands of the brother, otherwise the brother can sell face to the virtuous brother!" Alas...... Maybe this big thief won't see the sun tomorrow!"
Luo Cheng was in a dilemma when he heard this, and after a long time of silence, he still nodded heavily, and this time Yang Xiaotian smiled even brighter......
When Luo Cheng took Yang Xiaotian's warrant to fish Situ Lei out of the dungeon of the Luo Jing Governor's Mansion, this big thief was actually 'intact', and it was normal for Luo Cheng to think that he had not been abused in any way, and a big thief who moved freely could help himself in the palace, so Yang Xiaotian was really old and good!
The two of them drove directly to the palace in the carriage provided by the old fox, maybe Yang Xiaotian also wanted the two to have a good chat, but he didn't follow him personally, but just sent a child of his own family to lead dozens of guards to send them into the palace. Even the pestering Yang Xuerao was nowhere to be seen today, Luo Cheng was full of suspicions, and seemed to have fallen into a nightmare that he could never wake up from, and in the face of the innocent Situ Lei, the two could only look at each other and smile bitterly......
"What the hell is going on?"
Things always have to be solved, complaining is useless, regretting is even more useless, Luo Cheng can only take one step at a time, but no matter how he thinks Situ Lei can't be linked to the flower picking case, what kind of mess did he commit to wade into this troubled water?
Situ Lei said helplessly: "When we go to the Kunwu faction to save your father, maybe Li Ruihai inadvertently released my junior brother, won't he take Lao Tzu this time!"
"Senior brother, you still have junior brother, why haven't you mentioned it?"
Luo Cheng rolled his eyes at Situ Lei with a few questions: "Is Lao Tzu popping out of a stone? Meals have to be eaten one by one, and kung fu has to be learned day by day, Lao Tzu and Na Lian Chu are worshipping under the door of the old man of Shenji......
Then Situ Lei spit out everything he knew, Luo Cheng didn't rush to speak after hearing it, he stared at the other party's eyes, only lowered Situ Lei's head in a bluff, and chattered endlessly: "As soon as Lao Tzu woke up, he was already in prison, how could Sanmu not give in, otherwise this old bone would suffer, and Lao Tzu had to obediently cooperate with those vicious dogs......"
Luo Cheng smiled and said, "It's easy to think, do you think Yang Xiaotian will let us go easily?"
"Huh?"
Situ Lei raised his head and said: "It's really strange to say, those vicious dogs are good to eat and drink for Lao Tzu, and now they are easy to let Lao Tzu go, Lao Tzu is still wondering?"
Luo Cheng hated iron and said: "Don't Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's barking, this time in order to save your kid, uncle, I promised to be an assassin again...... mile!"
"What?"
Situ Lei screamed in surprise, and suddenly realized that he was still under the surveillance of others, and turned to whisper: "Who does the old fox want you to assassinate?"
Luo Cheng said angrily: "Yang Xiaotian, that old boy wants to be the emperor, of course he has to kick away that stumbling block!"
When Situ Lei heard the news, he calmed down, pouted and said: "He is very calculating, as soon as the emperor dies, he will wipe out the two of us in the name of murder, and then we will be a fool on Huangquan Road!"
Luo Cheng said dejectedly: "In the end, my foundation as the host of Beichan Temple is not deep enough, just like duckweed in the water, it will be easily used by people with ulterior motives." Otherwise, why would everyone drive us to be assassins as soon as they grabbed us?"
Situ Lei patted Luo Cheng's shoulder and said calmly: "Your backyard has to be cleaned up slowly, but the current problem needs to be solved urgently, or you use the beautiful man's trick to cook Yang Xuerao's Nizi to cook, then everything will be fine!"
"You're still in the mood for a joke......!"
Luo Chengxi said: "Don't fix those useless things, Yang Xiaotian's plan to change the day seems to have been planned for many years, how could he give up his ambition for the sake of his sister." Besides, the assassination of the emperor is not something that can be succeeded overnight, we might as well delay for a while, the most important thing is to find out that Lian Chu, even if Yang Xiaotian wants to rip it off, we will have chips in our hands. ”
Situ Lei blinked and signaled for someone to approach, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Mansion Lord Yang agreed to let Lao Tzu out so easily, I'm afraid you kid agreed to what conditions, right?"
Luo Cheng 'revealed his true feelings' and said: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, I have agreed to the marriage and written a handwritten letter, just wait for the marriage to be completed after the matter is completed!"
At this time, an inquiry came from outside the carriage: "Two distinguished guests, the Qinglong gate has arrived, and you can only send it here!" Please also ask the two to get off the car, and the road behind can only walk, and there is a special person who will lead the way for the distinguished guests!"
The two glanced at each other, and silently stepped out of the carriage, unexpectedly standing in front of the Qinglong Gate was none other than Yang Xuerao. Seeing that her face was like a peach blossom, her smile was extremely bright, and she was still bowing slightly to the two, Luo Cheng was shocked, and almost tripped under his feet, but fortunately, Situ Lei on the side was quick and held him up, otherwise the abbot of the dignified Beichan Temple might have to make a fool of himself in public......
The Luojing Imperial City is built on the north-south axis of the city, with a radius of dozens of miles, and the Luoshui River runs through the east and west, dividing the huge building complex into four major blocks. And the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest, respectively in the name of the green dragon, the red bird, the white tiger, the four holy beasts of Xuanwu, each door has built the statue of the holy beast in front of each door, the jade is the bottom, the gold paint wraps the body, the statue of the god more than ten zhang high is proud of the four directions, only the east of this door will look at the dragon coiled tiger, the momentum is magnificent, Luo Cheng hates to worship it.
On the other hand, Situ Lei was very arrogant, pulled Luo Cheng and walked towards the gate. Yang Xuerao said hello to the leading disciple of her own family, and led the two of them in. The gilded copper, which is twice as large as the Zhuyue Mansion, is inlaid on the huge double-open vermilion lacquer gate, and when the two doors are closed, Luo Cheng's heart also chuckles......
Nothing to say all the way......
Followed by dozens of young and beautiful palace maids, Yang Xuerao would not make a mistake if she wanted to. Leading everyone around the deep palace, she finally stopped in front of a relatively remote courtyard and made a gesture to invite in.
When the two crossed the high threshold, Yang Xuerao said respectfully outside the door: "Please rest here for a while, and when it is time for lunch, the palace will let the maid come and summon you!"
Looking back at the graceful figure gradually moving away, Luo Cheng was puzzled for a while, and muttered: "Bengong?
"Luo Gongzi guessed right!"
The palace maid who was serving on the side said with a smile: "Princess Fengming was canonized by the ancestor herself, she is genuine, she has her own mansion in the palace, you two are really big face, and Xiaoxiao is really envious!"
Luo Cheng hugged his fists to the palace maid and said: "Little girl, I don't know what rules there are in the palace, where you can go and where you can't, can you explain it to us?"
Xiaoxiao is at most fifteen or sixteen years old, combing the fringed braids of ordinary palace maids, looking small and cute, she led the two of them inward, and her mouth did not stop, and the speed of speech was very fast, and she recited all the palace rules in one go, and Luo Cheng's head was swollen when he listened, and he only wrote down two or three out of ten.
The three of them walked into the warm pavilion, and a little girl was invited to guard the door, and the two girls gently took off their robes for Luo Cheng and Situ Lei, and waited for the two masters to sit down, hot tea, candied fruit, and pastries had already been prepared, Situ Lei was afraid that the things in the prison were poisonous and hungry for a night, and at this moment, no one was chewing on it, and the little girl who looked at it frowned. Fortunately, that Luo Gongzi was still Sven, and he was just sitting there drinking tea, otherwise she wouldn't know how to deal with the two big bosses......
Luo Cheng saw that the two girls were still waiting by his side, and said with a smile: "Little girl, we are used to being wild, if there is any offense, please bear with me! Now we want to say something private, can we ......?"
"The two of you are distinguished guests, you don't have to be so polite to us subordinates!"
Xiao Xiao was happy to hear the words, and made a slight half-squat salute to the two, and then led the doorkeeper to walk out, when the door was gently closed, Situ Lei couldn't wait to say: "Lao Tzu hasn't eaten the food in the palace for a long time, you see this osmanthus cake, melts in the mouth, leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth, in the cold winter wax moon, can still taste such delicious, it is really ......"
"That's enough!"
Luo Cheng answered: "This palace is like a cage, there are many stinky rules, our goal is really obvious, what should we do if we are restrained by people?"
Situ Lei smiled mysteriously: "Don't you want to know which palace Yun'er girl will settle in? After nightfall, you can move around freely! Lao Tzu will take you to this Luojing Palace......
