Chapter 52 - Midnight in the Wind and Dew
It's night. The sky is filled with stars.
Lu Chengfeng chanted slowly:
"I sat under the flowers several times and played the flute, and looked into the distance against the silver-colored red wall.
It seems that these stars are not last night, for whom the wind and dew set the midnight sun.
After all the lingering thoughts, the remaining cocoon is pulled out, and the heartache is peeled off.
It was March or May of the year 35, but the glass of wine still lingered."
Seeing Wu Jingmo and Ye Wushuang standing side by side, they are such a beautiful pair, I am envious of them!
In this situation, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel sad and lovesick!
I wonder where his fairy is at this moment? The world is vast, and after that unexpected encounter, there is no chance for him to have a chance to meet the woman in purple!
"What a poem! Our great talent has published another new work!" King Xuan clapped his hands and walked out of his palace.
"See His Highness King Xuan!" The three of them knelt down and worshiped.
"No courtesy!" King Xuan raised his hand gracefully and said.
"How is it? Is it worth it to come to my house today? As soon as you enter the door, your thoughts flow and your words turn into poems!" King Xuan patted Lu Chengfeng's shoulder and said with a cheerful smile.
"It is indeed a good poem! Especially the second sentence, it seems that these stars are not last night, for whom the wind and dew stand at midnight!"
Wu Jingmo had been in a daze tonight, and he didn't comment just now, which was not like his usual behavior at all.
I think it was because he was too concerned about his words and deeds in front of Na Ye Wushuang, and was too embarrassed and nervous!
At this moment, he seemed to suddenly wake up and laughed nonstop:
"This is a beautiful sentence! What it describes above is that tonight is no longer last night, things have changed and things have changed. Who has remembered it? It expresses a kind of lovesickness meaning that things have changed and people have changed!"
As Wu Jingmo spoke, he actually laughed a little dumbly, choked for a moment, lowered his head and continued to mutter:
"What I want to say next is that in the independent atrium, I looked at the sky for a long time, and the cold dew of the night wetted my clothes and my heart. Just imagine, this waiting in the vastness, how lonely! How desperate! It's really true.
Showing the unforgettable love between a man and a woman!"
After saying that, his ears turned red, and he said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "It's just my humble opinion, my humble opinion."
"Hey! Blushing again? What's wrong with Brother Jingmo today?" Lu Chengfeng deliberately joked. Immediately, he bowed to King Xuan again and said:
"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is so flattering! Today Chengfeng is using the geomantic treasure of your house to express his love for the stars! By the way, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is so elegant and happy. I heard Miss Ye say, but what new rare treasures did you get?"
Lu Chengfeng exchanged some pleasantries, then quickly got to the point and asked.
Prince Xuan glanced at Ye Wushuang, with a knowing expression, and exaggeratedly said, "That's an incredible treasure! It's amazing! Come in with me!"
I saw that the main hall was splendid. The decorations in the main hall were filled with hundreds of treasures, jewels and jade, and the eyes were overwhelmed.
"I don't know which treasure it is? Uncle Fourth Emperor, you have too many treasures! My nephew's eyes have been opened today!"
Lu Chengfeng looked around and screamed in wonder.
"What I asked you to see today is not these things, but this!"
King Xuan said, pointing to the couch at the back of the hall, and said with a smile.
Lu Chengfeng secretly laughed in his heart: Inviting them to come to his house at night to show off his newly bought bed? Who would have thought that Uncle Fourth Emperor would have such a hobby?
"Is it a newly acquired treasure couch?" he asked seriously.
It was a huanghuali-girdled horseshoe couch, with gold and jade inlaid between the couches. It was full of jewels. It was still shining brightly at this night!
"No! Just go over and take a look and you'll know!" King Xuan clapped his hands and laughed.
Lu Chengfeng went there happily, but saw that there was only one letter on the couch.
"Could it be the authentic handwriting of a famous calligrapher?" Wu Jingmo, who was already standing by the couch, asked overjoyed.
Sure enough, you are still that nerd! So interested in these things! Could it be that you have also come from time-to-time? You know that these things can be sold for a big price when you take them back!
Lu Chengfeng smiled to himself, picked up the letter, and said, "You'll know if you take a look at it?"
The letter had been opened by someone. Lu Chengfeng pulled it out casually, and the white paper inside flew out and landed on the couch in front of him.
Not a word! Mysterious and mysterious!
Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo looked at each other, and then suddenly realized!
Lu Chengfeng picked up the blank piece of paper, ran quickly to a palace lantern, and shined the white paper on the palace lantern!
Lines of writing appeared! Also, the wavy fish patterns drawn on the four corners of the plain paper!
Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo smiled knowingly and said, "This must be the treasure His Highness King Xuan has prepared for us! Thank you! Thank you!"
King Xuan waved his hand politely and said with a beaming smile:
"I just like to deal with smart people! People who are wise don't tell secrets! This is what someone presented to me today. This is a list of precious medicinal materials recently traded on the black market. Take a look and see if it comes in handy?"
"Tianshan Snow Lotus, bought by He Mansion; tiger bones from the Western Regions, bought by Lin Mansion; high mountain dahlia ginseng, bought by Zhang Mansion..."
Lu Chengfeng read the long list on the paper while reading.
However, I have read to the bottom of the purchase list, and I still haven’t seen any records about horsetail or nux vomica!
Just as Lu Chengfeng was about to ask, King Xuan waved his hand and said, "Turn over! There are more behind you!"
Lu Chengfeng then turned over the plain paper. It turned out that the records on the front of the paper were all purchases, and the records on the back were sales.
Lu Chengfeng used his index finger as a ruler, pointed at the words on the paper carefully, and read line by line:
Antelope Horn, sold by Cao at the north end;
Top grade Haizhu, sold by Dongji Shuiye;
The rare Ganoderma lucidum is sold in Huertu from the Western Regions;
…
Nanli Ma Qiancao, Jingcheng Jiang's sold!
Lu Chengfeng rubbed his eyes vigorously and read it three times. Yes, what was written in black and white on the paper was indeed, "Nanli Ma Qiancao, Beijing Jiangshi sold!"
Wu Jingmo stood aside, dumbfounded and shocked!
In the black market managed by the Cao Gang, the people who conduct underground transactions of horse grass are actually the victims of the Jiang family!
No, the thirty-two members of their family died in one night! In today’s terms, it’s called the death of a household registration book, a clean death, and everything is in vain!
So, who is the person who sold it? Who bought it from Jiang? Is it the same batch of poisonous weeds? Are there other types of horse grass hidden in the black market that are secretly circulating?
King Xuan saw through their doubts at a glance and answered their questions:
"This list was secretly submitted to me today, but it is not necessarily today's list! Although there is no date recorded on it, I speculate that it should be before the incident. You can ask for the exact date.
Then other people who are buying and selling will know!"
"This makes sense! Thank you His Highness King Xuan for your advice!" Lu Chengfeng suddenly realized it, his head was pounding, and he bowed and thanked him.
Wu Jingmo also gave a big salute, but he looked worried.
Lu Chengfeng took Wu Jingmo's arm and said with joy, "Let's go! Today is really not in vain! This is the treasure I want most!"
Chapter completed!
