Chapter 134 People and Things I Remember...(1/2)
Chapter 134 Remembered people and things...
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
The Chief of the Inspection Department took the gong and made two clicks of his tongue. He grabbed the money and let go, feeling the money slipping from his fingers. Hearing the jingling sound of the money, he smiled and said, "That brother of yours seems to be in a bad mood."
Have any resentment?"
"No no…"
Duan Yuanze hurriedly explained: "This younger brother Cao Min lacks discipline and has no intention of offending you. Cao Min will definitely discipline him when he returns home. I hope you won't blame me."
"Not bad~ Not bad~"
Seeing that he was so well-behaved and sensible, the Chief of the Inspection Department immediately cast his eyes on the swords in their hands and said pointedly: "The capital is at the feet of the Emperor. How can you handle such a sharp weapon at will?"
"..."
Duan Yuanze's breath froze. He thought that the matter would be settled by handing over the money, but he really didn't expect that this person could be so greedy!
He cupped his hands and said: "The swords of the two Caomin brothers are old items passed down from their ancestors, and they are just street performers. They are not deliberately playing with them. I hope it is convenient for you."
"You also know it's a street performer?"
Seeing that he had no intention of handing over his sword, the chief of the inspection department snorted and said: "In this important place in the capital, you are not allowed to carry weapons without permission, but the swords of you two brothers have been sharpened, and they are said to be murder weapons."
It’s not an exaggeration.”
He paused and said with a straight face: "I think you two brothers are new here, so I won't hold you accountable. However, this sword must be brought back to the Yamen and reported."
"..."
Duan Yuanze took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "This sword is an ancestral item of the grassroots family. I'm sorry that it's hard to obey."
"Excuse me?"
The chief of the inspection department was slightly startled when he heard this, but he did not expect that this easy-to-talk boy would actually become tough at this time.
After reacting, he couldn't help but sneered and scolded: "The capital is an important place like no other. Here, you have to be coiled up if you are a dragon, and you have to lie down even if you are a tiger..."
"This is too much!"
Duan Yuansi shouted angrily and drew out his sword. Without moving, there was a cold light flickering!
And the clothes on the inspection chief's body suddenly stopped moving, and then his eyes lost their look...
When Duan Yuanze heard his brother's angry shout, he closed his eyes helplessly.
Just as he closed his eyes, the gong in the hand of the inspection chief in front of him fell to the ground, and the broken silver and copper plates in the gong were scattered everywhere...
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet blood streak overflowed from his neck, and he collapsed to the ground without saying a word.
There was a brief silence around...
After the onlookers came to their senses, they all fled in all directions. When the soldiers from the Inspection Department came to their senses, they screamed that someone was committing murder in the street!!
Duan Yuansi stepped forward with a gloomy face and held a sword. Just when he wanted to take action to kill the soldiers of the Inspection Department, his wrist was grabbed by his brother.
"enough!!"
Duan Yuanze opened his eyes and looked directly at his brother, scolding him coldly: "There are so many people watching here, are you ready to kill them all?"
"..."
At this time, Duan Yuansi seemed to be in a demon's way, his red eyes were full of ferocity, and he said sternly: "These greedy dog officials will not regret their death!"
I haven’t finished speaking yet…
Duan Yuanze slapped him in the face.
The force was so great and the sound was so loud, it seemed that even the fierceness and anger in Duan Yuansi's body had been dissipated by this slap.
Seeing his younger brother covering his face and his eyes regaining some clarity, Duan Yuanze saw vaguely officers and soldiers approaching on the street, so he dragged his younger brother and ran out.
"Walk!!"
"..."
Xu Boqing stood aside with a frown on his face. He neither helped them out, nor stopped them from killing people, nor stopped them from escaping. He acted like an outsider throughout the whole process.
He is doing a test...
I saw the two brothers' backs disappearing from sight.
His eyes were slightly focused, and when the feeling of connection and cause and effect came to his mind again, he focused all his attention on his eyes!
The scenery in his sight is like a faded scroll, and he can clearly see that there are still looming threads connected to his body...
The line representing ‘cause and effect’!!
Some lines are thick and some are thin;
Some threads are tight, others are loose;
Some lines go straight to the underworld, and some lines are right here!
He didn't pay attention to the other threads, he only stared at one of them, staring at the thread that was obviously not thin, but was faintly pulled to the point of breaking by some force!!
There is only a trace of connection left!!
The feeling I had a few days ago was not an illusion!!
Xu Boqing's breath was stagnant. He didn't know what the hell could affect the causal relationship...
But he could clearly feel that if that thread was really broken, then he would definitely be completely cut off from an acquaintance!
Or even...totally forget...
Who does this line represent!?
'Who makes me feel like I've forgotten something?'
The lines in his eyes quickly disappeared, but his attention was no longer on those lines...
After confirming that the feeling he had in the past few days was not an illusion, he began to think about the clues represented by the line, and wondered which acquaintance he had forgotten!
It’s Concubine Liu!!
Concubine Liu has a problem!!
I must have forgotten something about Concubine Liu!
Xu Boqing's heart was pounding. After grabbing the key clue, he ran back to the palace without hesitation.
He didn't ask Concubine Liu because he didn't know what caused him to forget something about her.
And he was not the only one who felt strange. Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Zhang also said they had an indescribable weird feeling when they mentioned Concubine Liu Guifei...
I'm sure it's not my fault...
Since it is not my own problem, then the problem must lie with Concubine Liu!!
You have to remember what you forgot first!
After thinking for a while, he returned to Cining Palace, and then rushed into his room in a hurry...
This room was arranged by Manager Huang when he first entered the palace.
Ever since I got along with Empress Dowager Chen, except for the few months when Mr. Huang passed away and stayed at the funeral, I haven’t lived much other time...
But, there is something here!!
He found "Seo Geun Suk's Diary of an Eunuch" on the bookshelf, which he wrote when he first entered the palace. He flipped through the pages page by page, recalling what happened in the past...
Sudden…
He seemed to have seen something, and his eyes rested on the diary entry on August 4th, the 16th year of the Yonghe Calendar...
"In the sixteenth year of the Yonghe calendar, August 4th, it was sunny."
"My name is Xu Geunshuo. This is the eighteenth day since I came to Cining Palace. Today is a knife on my butt, which opened my eyes."
'Empress Zhang from Kunning Palace, Concubine Liu and Concubine Zhou from Yongning Palace came together to visit the Queen Mother.'
'She is worthy of being a queen who was selected through thousands of selections. She has an excellent appearance and temperament. Her brows are lightly powdered, and her red lips are a little bit enchanting. She is so beautiful, especially the luxurious temperament of a mother who cares about the world. She is far from beautiful.
Most women can compare.'
"The two noble concubines Liu and Zhou are not willing to give in too much. One is as beautiful as a peach in three springs; the other is as pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns. Each has its own spring and autumn, and both are ripe."
'To be honest, I wanted to force myself to death and ask Manager Huang to transfer me to Kunning Palace or Yongning Palace to carry on the Prime Minister's ambition, but that was just a thought...'
"It is said that the Dog Emperor has been pure in heart since he sought immortality and has rarely visited the harem. I don't know whether it is true or not."
'Well, it doesn't matter whether it's true or false. Anyway, it's all about drought and waterlogging.'
'The more I think about it, the angrier I get, Dog Emperor! Gan Liliang!!'
……………
He looked at the contents of the diary and slowly recalled in his mind his surprise when he first met Empress Zhang and the two noble concubines Liu and Zhou not long after he entered the palace...
This was the scene where I met Liu Guifei for the first time!
Some forgotten or blocked memories emerged again, and he couldn't wait to continue reading the diary, looking for the deeds of Concubine Liu that he had recorded in his own hand...
To be continued...
