Volume 1, Corruption Investigation
Under heavy punishment, there must be brave men. The governor of Qingzhou finally did something that greatly increased his face. He found out that this gang of bandits was actually a ruthless character. They caused trouble all the way from the Nanqi Kingdom to the Yunchu Kingdom. They were veritable transnational fugitives. Qingzhou
The governor sent an official letter to Jinling, the capital of Nanqi State, asking them to inform them of the origins and whereabouts of the bandits, and to help capture them.
The officials of the Jinling Prefecture did not know whether they were afraid of this group of gangsters, or they just wanted to see the Qingzhou Prefecture's joke. They asked no questions about the matter and did not know anything about it.
Then, there is no other in our country.
To put it bluntly, we don't have the ability to catch these desperate people. If you can, you can catch them. We will never be jealous and talk too much, and we will never settle scores later.
Qingzhou Prefecture Yin was also a neat person. He no longer had any verbal entanglements with Jinling Prefecture. He only sent people to Nanqi Kingdom for overt and covert inspections. Only then did he find out that the leader of this group of bandits was the youngest son of the prince who escaped from Nanqi Kingdom's Crown Prince's Mansion and had been hiding.
After more than thirty years of breeding at the border between Nanqi State and Yunchu State, the men and horses finally became fat and strong, and then they dressed up as rogues and entered Qingzhou City to avenge their shame. The people they attacked were all those who were killed more than thirty years ago.
The Prince's Mansion burned, killed, and plundered the families of others. As for the princes who were the chief culprits more than thirty years ago, they must not be let go. Then Yun Liangjiang will inevitably suffer more.
Although they found out the ins and outs of the rogue bandits, they failed to find out where they settled in the Yunchu Kingdom. Ever since they kidnapped Yun Liangjiang from the Liehou Mansion, he seemed to have disappeared from this world and could never be found again.
There was no trace of him. Naturally, the unlucky Yun Liangjiang also disappeared.
As a result, some people lamented the misfortune of Crown Prince Yun, some regretted that Crown Prince Yun might not be able to marry the princess, some high-fived and congratulated that the second most beautiful man in Qingzhou City was finally changing hands, and some even gloated about the misfortune of Crown Prince Lihou, so there were still people who dared to kidnap him.
Can't escape yet.
In this way, Yun Liangjiang's abduction became a joke among people after dinner. As for the reason why he was abducted, no one delved into it.
After autumn, the weather gradually cooled down, the autumn sun was bright like water, and a fallen leaf rustled down. Twenty days after Yun Liangjiang was kidnapped, thousands of forbidden troops failed to find him, but he fell in Guanqiankou Square.
When he was found, he was injured and dying, almost half of his life was gone. Everyone in the world was whispering secretly, wondering how much money the princes paid to redeem the crown prince, but at least he was able to avoid disaster and save his life.
What was unexpected was that after Yun Liangjiang escaped from death, Princess Jin He broke off the engagement with him with lightning speed. This was really a situation where good fortune and misfortune never come alone. Everyone in the world speculated about the reason why Yun Liangjiang was broken off.
The reason for this was that some people said that he was scratched on the face by a thief, which made the princess feel disgusted. Some people said that he had his hands and feet chopped off, and he was already a cripple and was not worthy of marrying the princess. In short, there were different opinions. For a time, Yun Liangjiang became a famous figure in Qingzhou City.
The number one laughing stock.
Although the business of the antique shop in Jingmo was mediocre, he was able to make a living at least. Every time when the market was open on Shengze Street, he would take Luokui with him to buy some items, saying that it would make their future life comfortable.
Some are very diligent.
After Dingxiang came, all the housework was done in an orderly manner, and the food was cooked deliciously. Luokui was free all day long, and she also had half a bowl of rice for each meal. She was so thin that she finally gained some roundness, and her clothes were as good as before.
There was nothing to wear anymore, so I had to spend a lot of money to make new clothes so that I could wear them with peace of mind.
The candlelight is like the faint light of fireflies, jumping and flashing in the thin sheepskin lampshade. A plum blossom slants out from the yellowish tulle, and strands of moonlight fall on it. The plum blossom seems to jump out of the lampshade.
, gave birth to a faint fragrance, adding a bit of charm to the cold and lonely autumn night.
Du Heng stepped in, bowed and said, "Master Yun sent a message saying that he wanted to thank the master for planning, so he canceled his marriage to Princess Jin He."
Luokui was holding a white porcelain soup bowl, drinking spoonfuls of white fungus soup before going to bed. She choked up when she heard the words: "Thank you, I don't dare to take it. It's better if he doesn't scold me to death."
Du Heng smiled and handed over a piece of letterhead: "Master, this is written by Mr. Yun. He said that he asked the master to open it himself."
Luokui held the spoon and drank the soup slowly, rinsed her mouth and wiped her face. After tidying up, she unhurriedly unfolded the letter, looked at it and smiled, and saw on the paper written: "Every time there are people who slaughter dogs for justice,
Most of the time, the one who betrays the heart is a ruthless girl. I originally wanted to give my heart to my girl, but she is too busy making a fool of herself."
Du Heng came closer and read each word, which made him laugh: "Here, Mr. Yun's poems are average, but he can curse people neatly."
Luo Kui laughed and laughed: "It seems that the dose of medicine was a little too harsh. Alpinia even hates me."
Du Heng said with a smile: "Isn't that right? That medicine was left behind by General Su, specially designed to treat hungry ghosts in sex. Mr. Yun took that medicine, and after returning home, he couldn't afford to be ill. He lingered on the bedside and invited several imperial ministers one after another.
I've had doctors look at him, and they all said he's damaged his foundation, and he's been unable to have sexual desire ever since."
"Hahahahaha, it's so good, it's so good. If it weren't for this, Concubine Xu would not have been able to break off the marriage so neatly." Luokui patted the red sandalwood square table and laughed wildly, her palms turned red as she laughed, and said,
Almost fell off the chair.
When Du Heng saw this, he covered her mouth in a panic and said: "Keep your voice down, master, and be careful before calling the wolf."
Luokui laughed so hard that she was out of breath, her mouth was tightly covered by Du Heng, and she could only sob: "I'm afraid half of the people in Qingzhou City are laughing so hard that they can't sleep. My smile is nothing."
Du Heng laughed and shook his head: "Who says otherwise? Mr. Yun is considered a figure in Qingzhou City. If he is really willing to risk his life, how will he be able to face others in the future?"
"It's not a big deal if you can't see people. What's important is who dares to ask someone to drink wine with someone who can't get enough of you. Isn't this a slap in the face and exposing scars?" Luo Kui laughed in a low voice, but it was funny and unkind.
The good intentions are obvious.
Du Heng's eyes lit up: "In that case, I have to choose a day to invite Young Master Yun to Hehuan Pavilion for a drink."
It's very dry in autumn. The pastel green bean-colored double-ear incense burner burned the incense of cypress. The fragrance of cypress in this incense is quiet. It is known to be refreshing and reassuring, and has the effect of preventing autumn dryness. Luokui leaned down and put his hands on it.
She gently waved the smoke on the stove, and wisps of fragrance entered her nose. She looked back at him and said, "If you are willing to take me with you, I will pay for the wine."
Du Heng copied the abacus on the side and flipped the beads on the abacus. He felt that this deal was very suitable, but he gritted his teeth and looked embarrassed and said: "I have no choice but to let the master dress up in men's clothing and pay the bill."
There was a polished brass nine-link ring placed on the small top with Ganoderma lucidum pattern. Luokui picked it up and threw it at Du Heng. She wrinkled the tip of her nose and said, "I prefer women's clothing. What can you do to me?"
"Okay, okay, master said, you can wear whatever you want." Du Heng caught the nine rings and nodded with a smile.
Luokui tried her best to hold back her laughter and said, "Just give the medicine to the galangal."
Du Heng nodded and smiled: "Here you go. When Mr. Yun heard that it was the medicine that could help him recover from his illness, he drank it without even thinking about it."
Luokui laughed so hard that she couldn't get up again. This Yun Liangjiang really cost both life and face.
Seeing Luokui laughing and coughing repeatedly, Du Heng hurriedly handed over a cup of tea and said softly: "Master, Miss Lilac's identity has been found out." He waved his sleeves, drawing a ray of moonlight from the window and entering through the window. .
The strands of cold moonlight swirled and dispersed on the candlelight, turning into dots of light. Luokui's sleeves waved, and the light moved and flickered very quickly, falling on the table and forming a row. Row out the fly head in small regular script.
Luokui murmured in a low voice while watching: "It's exactly what she said, Du Heng. I think this child is not old, but he has a strong mind. He suffered a lot in Hehuan Pavilion, but he can still grit his teeth and survive." , is an excellent seedling. Since there is nothing suspicious about her origins, then you can slowly train her and choose a method suitable for her practice. If she leaves in the future, she will be able to gain a foothold in this world." She said from then on. He took out a piece of tissue paper from the sandalwood box and handed it to Du Heng: "This is Ding Xiang's deed of sale and the list of lowly status. Go and get her out of the lowly status and apply for a new household registration."
Du Heng bowed: "Well, I've taken note of it."
In a few days, it will be the birthday of Luokui's biological mother. Luokui has been copying scriptures all day long in order to offer sacrifices to her mother before her death. After Du Heng reported everything and saw that it was still early, he took off the sheepskin lampshade and picked it up. He turned on the wick, cooked a thick soothing soup, put the light pink plum blossom cakes on a white porcelain plate and placed them on the red sandalwood square table, then bowed and left.
He placed a scroll of scriptures at hand, and he picked up his pen to copy it down. However, the plum blossoms and small regular script he wrote were different from the scriptures. When he looked closely, he saw that the word "empty green" was all over the paper. Luokui immediately put down his pen, thinking that he was hallucinating. , she patted her cheeks several times, and then looked at them carefully. Those two words were still written on the paper, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
These two words and this name seem to have always been engraved in her mind. When Wen Yuan's IOU was ticked, it was like water breaking a dike, from the heart to the pen, and from the pen to the paper. This situation has been going on for several months. Whenever she writes the scriptures at night, she will write these two words at the beginning. After filling up the paper all night, she can copy the scriptures as usual.
Looking at it, the words on the paper gradually turned into double shadows. Luokui felt sleepy, picked up the thin azure medicine bowl after the rain, drank the soothing soup in one gulp, kicked off her embroidered shoes, and wrapped herself in a quilt. She fell on the bed in a daze. It was the hot summer when she first met Jingmo. The heat was getting stronger day by day and she slept on the mat as a stove. But now it was early autumn, and the wind started again at night, knocking on the window lattice. , rustling like a person crying, showing a chill.
Luokui wrapped herself tightly in the thin quilt that was about to slip off, and muttered in a low voice that she would have to change to a thicker quilt tomorrow. She was so cold that she contracted typhoid, but no one felt sorry for her.
"Luokui, Luokui." A low voice sounded in Luokui's ears, as if from another world. She hugged the quilt and hesitated for a moment. She reluctantly opened her eyes and saw that the room was empty and she was the only one. She sighed, When did I develop hysteria again?
