In the middle of the night, thunder rumbling and lightning strikes. The sun was still shining at noon, but now a thunderstorm came unexpectedly.
The stream is rising, and the small building is filled with wind with aquatic breath. A thousand paper cranes tied with hair flew on the edge of the window, and a few drops of rain were swept into the bedroom by the gale.
Qin Mubai took Chen Yan in his arms, pulled a thin silk to cover her naked body, kissed her forehead, and asked: "Is it cold?"
"It's still sweating." Chen Yan's face flushed, her eyes were silky, her mouth was still panting.
Little don't win the newlyweds, just now there was a dry fire, both of them are a little tired at the moment. So they slept and listened to the wind and rain.
"Is everything done?" Chen Yan asked softly after a long time.
"It's still early." Qin Mubai said, "In the past few days, Li Ke and Quan Wanji, together with the officials from the governor's mansion, are thoroughly investigating the gang of water ghosts. Pick a gourd and pull out a bunch of vines, which are involved. There are too many people. Whether it’s the military government or the governor’s government, including local squires and businessmen, apart from Xiaoluo, there are really many big people involved. If all are arrested and killed, Xiangzhou is afraid that they will be troubled. The army can’t suppress the situation. So the case is solved, but how to deal with the aftermath is really troublesome."
Chen Yan was quiet for a while, and said: "I don't understand the affairs of the officialdom. I only know that interrogation is a matter of the Governor's Mansion. Don't interfere too much. Open spears are so easy to hide and arrows are difficult to prevent. If you erect too many enemies , It’s not good for you."
"I know it in my heart." Qin Mubai smiled, patted her back lightly, and said, "Tomorrow the Governor's Mansion will have a banquet, will you go with me?"
"It's not that you don't know, I don't like that kind of occasion."
"It's just that the princess wants to make a special trip to thank you, and don't want you to be with us men. Why don't you go? How can I say, you are also the savior of her mother and daughter."
"Isn't she supposed to thank you?" Chen Yan smiled, "I just ran errands for you. You didn't arrange everything, right?"
"Okay, stop bargaining, just have a meal."
"What about the one next door?" Chen Yan smiled warmly.
"You said Lady Flower...Haha!" Qin Mubai smiled, "She is messing with you now, you can arrange it!"
"Didn't you promise her to introduce her to the Wu Palace?" Chen Yan asked.
"Why, do you agree?" Qin Mubai asked, "Aren't you the one who dislikes her the most?"
Chen Yan paused, and smiled slightly sadly: "I hate her, but it's good, but there is no reason to really hate her. Although she is not a good person, if she really regrets and wants to live again, It's also a good thing. How to say, she also helped you a little this time."
"You have said so, am I embarrassed not to agree?" Qin Mubai smiled, "I only worry, Li Ke has always been lustful, and the flower lady is very coquettish. The two are mixed together, just in case. What's the matter, it's not good."
"Blindly worry about it." Chen Yan scolded and smiled, "She should understand this little sense of measure and self-knowledge."
"Hey, why did you keep saying good things for her? This is not like you."
"It's nothing. It's just that the rabbit, the dead and the fox are in pity for each other." Chen Yan said lightly.
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "I see you, it's just hard-mouthed!"
The next day, Qin Mubai led the horse and walked in front, Chen Yan and Lady Hua followed behind them unhurriedly, and the three of them left the small building and headed for the governor's house.
I heard that Lady Hua deliberately dressed up when she went to a banquet in the Cishi Mansion, but she was dressed in a strong suit, her hair was tightly wrapped and her hair looked tall and tall. Bundled up, quite capable. However, when she looked at Qin Mubai, she was always a little angry, as if he owed her several millions.
"Your surname is Qin, you are so kind!" After a few steps, Lady Hua couldn't help saying, "The old lady brought Pang Fei here that night, and you slipped first!"
"I've said it a hundred times, are you tired of it?" Qin Mubai said slowly, "As the saying goes, it is necessary to guard against others. It is always right for me to be careful? Yes, I have already made an appointment with King Wu and King Qi to meet at the Xinye County Official Post in the early morning. If you miss the hour, you will miss a major event."
"Huh!" The flower lady snorted bitterly, "After all, you still can't believe me?"
Qin Mubai curled his lips: "I didn't say anything."
"What's the noise?" Chen Yan said lightly, "Didn't you take you to the Governor's Mansion and fulfill your promise?"
The flower lady suddenly changed the color and said with a grin: "I know, it is the girl who interceded for me, and he agreed. Otherwise, he will definitely lose his promise!"
"Small sets are almost." Chen Yan said coldly, "If you are in the governor's mansion, if you still have the same virtue, I will be the first to not forgive you."
"Oh, how come?" Lady Hua was still smiling, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be reborn as a person, how can I not cherish it? Don't worry, although I am a prodigal, I have always been very self-aware." /
"That's good." Chen Yan glanced at her and said nothing.
"Hey, girl, you are cold-hearted, kind-hearted, hard-hearted." Lady Hua chuckled, "Sister, I know your kindness, and I will definitely change my mind and be a new person in the future. My biggest wish now is to be like Like you, find a good man you can rely on and spend the rest of your life peacefully. Never toss about it anymore."
Chen Yan also didn't say anything, letting her chat with emotion all the way. The three of them walked slowly and reached the middle of Xiangyang County. Qin Mubai thought on a whim and said, "Go to the house of Lady Hua."
"Okay! I want to revisit my old place too, hehe!" The Flower Lady thief smiled and said again, "By the way, I am not a real Lady Flower, and I will not be a Madame demon in the future. My real name is Su Lianqing."
"Su Lianqing? A very gentle and graceful name." Qin Mubai smiled, "however, people are so coquettish."
"Humph!" Su Lianqing glared at Qin Mubai annoyed, "That's all the things in the past, I just want to forget it quickly, and you are not allowed to mention it again!"
"Yes, yes, Su woman!"
The three of them walked to the house of the Flower Lady, and saw one person leaning on the door and looking forward. From a distance, they were greeted with surprise: "Master!"
It is Pang Fei.
Qin Mubai slapped him on the shoulder head-on, and smiled: "Why, have you become a son-in-law?"
Chen Yan and Su Lianqing laughed. Pang Fei blushed, scratching his ears and stammering in his mouth: "No, no!"
"Then you stand in front of people's door early in the morning, the dignified fifth-grade generals, do you stand on guard for them?" Qin Mubai looked at him with interest, having to open and lift which pot.
"Cough, cough..." Pang Fei coughed awkwardly, and said, "I don't dare to bother, so I have to wait here for my teacher, and I have something to report."
"Report a fart, just say something." Qin Mubai smiled.
"I, I think...that..." Pang Fei stammered, glanced at Su Lianqing occasionally, his face flushed.
Su Lianqing giggled and walked up and said: "I'll tell you! This little man, and the little widow of Lady Hua, were detained by me. Daring to love is to see the truth in adversity, and has been privately determined for life Right?"
"Uh!..." Pang Fei smirked with embarrassment, "You can say that too!"
Qin Mubai laughed haha: "Pang Fei, Pang Fei, you are so proud!"
"No, no!" Pang Fei hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Xu Liang is not the kind of person her teacher imagined! She is such a good woman, don't lie to you!"
"Then you don't mind if she is a little widow, and she has been half-hidden?" Qin Mubai asked in a low voice.
"Don't mind!" Pang Fei answered decisively.
Qin Mubai shrugged his brows: "Then I don't mind. You tell me, is it possible that you still want me to be the master and agree to this palm marriage?"
"Yes!" Pang Feixi smiled openly, "My parents died early, and there are no relatives here in Xiangzhou. My teacher is my only elder, of course I have to ask you to call the shots!"
Qin Mubai laughed, took a few steps forward on his shoulders, and said, "Pang Fei, whoever you like is your freedom. If you think it's worth it, then go for it. If you really have this With a big heart, letting go of her past, of course it will fulfill you."
"Really, really?" Pang Fei said in surprise, "I thought that my mentor would oppose me to marry a widow and half-close the door!"
"Am I like the kind of old guy who can't change from time to time?" Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Men's and women's matters, as long as you like. It's like wearing these shoes on your feet, it's not comfortable, only oneself I just found out. Come into the hospital and call out Xu Liang, let me see."
"Yes!" Pang Fei was overjoyed and rushed into the courtyard.
The three of them also walked in with a smile. Not long after, Pang Fei took a woman's hand and walked up to him. Without any explanation, he bowed to Qin Mubai and fell to the ground.
"Civilian Xu Liang, pay homage to General Qin." Xu Liang is a typical Jiangnan Xiaojia Biyu, red lips and white teeth are soft and supple, and his voice is gentle and elegant, as gentle as water.
"Get up!" Qin Mubai chuckled, looked up and down Xu Liang a few times, nodded and said, "Yes, it's worthy of this stunned boy Pang Fei. Pang Fei, in fact, you are a young man One or two years younger than me. Since you respect me as a teacher, I will take charge of you and promise this brown marriage."
"Quickly, thanks to Master Xie!" Pang Fei was excited, and pulled Xu Liang to kneel again.
"This can be regarded as a romance. The beauty of adulthood is also quite good." Qin Mubai stepped up and helped the two of them up, held their hands together, and said, "In the future, your life It’s about to change. It’s just that no matter how things change, people who truly use love must be consistent. I don’t have anything to give you. I can only give Pang Fei a one-month holiday, which is just...for you Honeymoon!"
"Honeymoon? It's really an appropriate and interesting word!" Xu Liang smiled slightly, paid a salute to Qin Mubai, and said earnestly: "Bad concubine, thank General Qin for his great kindness. Give me birth. I’m my parents, and I’m the general Qin who recreated me. In this life and this life, the lowly concubine will follow her husband, and the general will be like a father. If there is more than this, the heaven is not blessed!"
"Okay, don't make it so serious!" Qin Mubai laughed haha, "Now, I will borrow your husband to use him and take him to the governor's mansion to do some things and eat some wine and meat. You didn't Comments?"
Liang chuckled: "Any concubine, dare you? It's just...no flower wine will be fine."
"Haha! People who are going to get married are different!" Qin Mubai and others laughed together and left the house of Lady Hua.
The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are open, and the concept of chastity is not very strong. It is also very tolerant of things like remarriage and remarriage. It is not as serious as the restraint of ethics and education after the Song Dynasty. The children of the rich family like officials and officials are fashionable, and things like prostitutes are as common as we sing karaoke now.
At the same time, it is not uncommon for famous officials and talents to marry famous performers to promote excellence. The world not only does not laugh, but also has some jealousy and envy. As a result, Pang Fei's marriage to a little widow who was half-closed was not a shocking event. It's just that there are very few ‘big officials’ like him who don’t care about people’s background. There is no shortage of well-known players who have married good people, but they can't get rid of the fate of becoming concubines and playthings. There are very few who truly have feelings and seek happiness.
"Pang Fei, your kid is still a kind man." On the way, Qin Mubai patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "The Liang family followed you, it is her good fortune."
"It's my good fortune, hehe!" Pang Fei smiled embarrassedly, "Actually...she is a good woman!"
"Well, it's good, just cherish it, don't let it down." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled.
"Hmm!" Pang Fei nodded heavily.
"Hey--" Su Lianqing sighed long behind the two of them, "My mother, I am jealous!! I would have split you off if I knew it, it would be a little troublesome at most. Then the old lady will go out and take you down. This little man. To this day, when he turns into the general’s wife, isn’t he an old lady?"
Everyone laughed together.
Qin Mubai grinned and said with a weird smile: "Don't tell me, they are really thanks to you for this romance. Or, you can be their matchmaker!"
Su Lianqing was itchy with hatred, and took a sip, coldly said: "The old lady hasn't married yet, and the matchmakers are all the kind of old women who are seven and eighty, so I won't do it!"
Talking and laughing all the way, everyone has arrived in front of the Governor's Mansion.
The Governor's Mansion has been quite lively these days. The lights never go out day and night, people do not unload their horses or saddles, and have been busy dealing with the water ghost case. The large prison is overcrowded, and many prisons have been opened temporarily.
The case is coming to an end, and the interrogation of the case is all about the Provincial Government. Li Ke is so busy, where is Qin Mubai so relaxed. After finally stealing half of the free time, in addition, Qi Wang Li You also arrived in Xiangzhou from Jingzhou to deal with the affairs, so he put on a banquet and invited Qin Mubai and others.
Yuwen Hongtai was guarding the gate. A few days ago, he happily killed him on the bank of the Jingzhou River. This majesty shot and killed people everywhere, which really made all the soldiers in the palace admire and admire him, and praised his bravery. Under the air, he now walks with his head held high, and he always considers himself a hero.
"Haha, the third brother Qin is here! Yo, there is also Chen Nv Xia, rare guest, rare guest!... This, how do you call it?" Yuwen Hongtai strode to usher, sounding like Hong Zhong.
"Hey, what a reckless man!" Su Lianqing frowned, looked up and down, and said, "Wu Wang is such a suave character, why is his subordinate so rash?"
"What did you say?" Yuwen Hongtai glared his eyes, "What is called...what is called, "rough", "heroic", man husbands are like this! People all over the house say that I am a man of heaven and earth. Good man! You little lady doesn’t know the goods!"
"Oh, my old lady hasn't heard someone call me'little lady' for some time." Su Lianqing circled Yuwen Hongtai with interest, and stabbed him with his elbow. "Good man My son, what did you do in the Prince Wu's Mansion, isn't it a big official?"
Qin Mubai and Chen Yan looked at each other with a smile, and shook their heads together, ignoring the two of them, and went straight to the house with Pang Fei.
When Su Lianqing saw Qin Mubai and the others were gone, he eagerly followed, and said with a wink, "Good man, I will have a good chat with you when I have time!"
Yuwen Hongtai trembled all over, when he recovered, Su Lianqing had already trot to chase Qin Mubai. He swallowed and murmured: "How come such beautiful little ladies can always pop up beside Brother Qin? This is a special coquettish, ooh...I don't have such a blessing!"
The group of people entered the palace, and there were so many government servants inside and outside, which seemed extremely busy. But Li Ke greeted him personally, laughing from a distance: "Haha! Our heroes, heroes are finally here!"
Qin Mubai greeted him with a smile.
The people in the house looked at the scene in front of them, and they were all at a loss: A few days ago, the two people had turned against each other, so they almost drew knives and hacked each other? Today, it looks like a pair of brothers again.
After chatting with Qin Mubai a few words, Li Ke looked at Chen Yan gratefully and nodded: "Chen Xia, this king would like to solemnly thank you for your great kindness."
"His Royal Highness is serious." Chen Yan smiled, "I just ran errands and made arrangements. It was Mu Bai. You should thank him."
"Heh, you are really looking at him everywhere!" Li Ke laughed, then looked at Su Lianqing, and said to Qin Mubai, "Is this the lady of flowers?"
"To be more specific, it is a fake flower lady. The people in the rivers and lakes are called Madam Yao Xie, whose real name is Su Lianqing." Qin Mubai introduced.
"The prisoner sees His Royal Highness King Wu!" Su Lianqing was still a little nervous and hurriedly bowed down.
"Get up. No one will convict you. You are not a criminal, and you have great merit." Li Ke smiled.
"I...have a lot of work?" Su Lianqing was startled for a while.
"Of course." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously.
"Because I put Pang Fei and Lady Flower back?" Su Lianqing asked.
"More than that." Qin Mubai smiled, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to judge for a while, who is the real Song Cao master. Do you think this is a great achievement?"
"I don't even know who Song Cao is, when did I help you?" Su Lianqing was confused.
Qin Mubai and Li Ke laughed at the same time, and Li Ke said: "Go into the house and sit down and enjoy a cup of tea while chatting slowly! King Qi has just walked around the street, and he will return when he is back. When he comes back, we will drive again. Banquet!"
"Yes!"
The group of people entered the hall. According to the old habit, Li Ke set the stove to make tea, and there was a lot of silk and bamboo music.
"Hey, tell me quickly, how can I help you find the real Song Cao master?" Su Lianqing was puzzled and asked Qin Mubai to ask.
"It's very simple. Because of some of your actions, I can see their biggest flaw." Qin Mubai smiled.
"What flaw?"
"That day, didn't Pang Fei and Zhao Chong go to Xiangyang County with Zhao Chong, and then went to Hua Niangzi's house together?" Qin Mubai said.
"Exactly." Pang Fei responded.
Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "The biggest flaw lies here. If Zhao Chong is not a water ghost, how could he bring Pang Fei to Lady Hua? Su Lianqing, how can you advance? Set up an ambush there and just wait for someone to be arrested? Afterwards, Pang Fei and the real lady of the flower fell into your hands. However, Zhao Chong also disappeared together. Isn't this a lie?"
"What do you mean, I didn't understand." Su Lianqing and the others shook their heads in confusion.
Li Ke laughed and said: "First of all, Zhao Chong took Pang Fei into the trap that the water ghost had set up, which was enough to confirm that he was a water ghost person. At this time, in order to cover up the place where Pang Fei disappeared, So they disappeared together and made a false appearance that they were kidnapped at the same time. Later, you Su Lianqing told Qin Mubai that you only captured Pang Fei and Lady Hua, which is equivalent to making Qin Mubai clear, and Zhao Chong is also A member of the water ghost."
"It really made me sure that Zhao Chong belonged to Song Cao, and there are some other flaws." Qin Mubai said, "That is, when I returned to the military office to arrange matters, I re-selected Du Chengyuan's henchman to take over. Under the command of the water army, the water ghost released Zhao Chong bizarrely. Heh, the reason why Zhao Chong wanted to disappear was to cover that Pang Fei’s kidnapping was related to him, and the other was to let himself leave me. The line of sight is convenient for manipulating everything behind the scenes. But he was also worried that after we finished the transaction, the water ghost was released and how he should clear up the suspicion in front of me. So he made a false appearance of releasing the water ghost. I was fooled. At the same time, it was convenient for him to return to the barracks and personally direct the navy to participate in the food trade."
"So, Zhao Chong is the master of Song Cao?!" Many people exclaimed together.
"Of course." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "From the very beginning, he was very close to us. It also made me think that he could win his camp. He obviously saw me too. So I deliberately co-acted with Du Chengyuan in a good show of false splitting, which made me work harder to fight for him. Therefore, I completely believed in him. Chen Yan, you still remember what I told you before, I was already Doubt, are there two people who have never doubted before?"
Chen Yan nodded: "One is Zhou Laojiu, the leader of the bureau, and the other is Zhao Chong, right?"
"Yes." Qin Mubai nodded, "From then on, I suspected that one of these two people must be Lord Song Cao. Because from the beginning, they were the closest to me. As the saying goes, under the oil lamp The darkest and most dangerous place is the safest. They are not brave, and they are indeed very smart. At the beginning, I was really deceived by them. However, there is really no seamless heavenly clothes in this world, no matter how subtle There are always flaws in tactics. From Su Lianqing, I at least made two things clear: one is that Zhou Laojiu is a fellow of the water ghost, and the other is that Zhao Chong is very likely to be the real Song Cao master. So, she Made a great contribution."
Su Lianqing took a deep breath, and shook his head: "You man, it's terrible! Nothing is visible, nothing can escape your eyes. Everything is clear in your heart. Fortunately, I have come to surrender sincerely. If I just deliberately tricked to get your trust, wouldn’t it be a terrible death now?"
Li Ke gave a weird smile and said, "So, even this king doesn't play tricks with him, he always follows his words."
"Really?" Su Lianqing's eyes lit up, and he hit the snake and said with a stick. "Then General Qin mentioned to His Royal Highness that he would recommend me to Prince Wu's Mansion for an errand, so I would abandon evil and follow good.
Li Ke suddenly laughed: "I mentioned it, but the palace does not need female officers, nor female soldiers or generals. This makes this king very embarrassed."
Su Lianqing was suddenly disappointed, her eyes dimmed a bit.
"But." Li Ke turned around and smiled, "After this incident, I feel that the princess lacks the care and protection of the princess, especially the martial arts | shrewd and capable woman. Su Lianqing, if you want, Just be a maidservant for the princess!"
"Ah!—" Su Lianqing was immediately overjoyed, and bowed down in the hall. "Thank your highness for tolerance and acceptance! Xie General Qin for his kindness in rebuilding! In this life, Su Lianqing has no teeth and never forgets, and he ends up with a ring , Live and die in return!"
Qin Mubai grinned, and said in his heart: It turns out that adult beauty is also very happy. It's just a small effort, but it's a little bit cooler than the murderer!
