Nightfall Chapter 138: The truth under the catkins
Chapter 138 The Truth Under the Catkins
Ning Que remembered that when the college was admitted to the test list last year, Xiao Sangsang had also stared at the third son Xie in a daze, and then realized that this girl was the same as herself, and was the first mortal with a skin. But why did she never look at herself in a daze? That's naturally because his skin is too ordinary. Thinking of this festival, he looked at her melancholy and said: "Man who is too good-looking, usually has a bad brain, such as the Prince Longqing."
Sangsang put the little black face on his thin arms, and said in a daze: "Master, I just want to see how his face was born and why it looks so good. I don't know which one he uses. Chen Jinji’s powder is still Yuzhiyuan. Alas, if I had a chance to take a closer look, it would be great. It would be better if I could touch his eyebrows."
Ning Que looked at her in a trance, and suddenly realized that in the past few years, apart from doing housework, her little maid seemed to have nothing to do with joy. She felt a moment of grief in her heart. After a moment of silence, she smiled and said: "Prince Longqing is going to enter the second floor of the college. If you want to see him up close, I will take you there. By the way, you can cheer for me or something."
"Okay, okay!" Sangsang patted his palms and sat upright, then looked at Ning Que's face and corrected them very seriously: "But that day, I must have been dedicated to cheering for you, Master. Take a look at him by the way."
"It's almost the same, good."
Ning Que smiled and rubbed her head, then walked back to the house with her hands on her back, thinking that it seemed that whether it was for her own life or for the little maid’s dream, she had to climb to the second floor. Climbed up.
It's another spring. The catkins are floating all over the sky, drifting across the wells of Fangshi, drifting across the quiet and luxurious residences of Nancheng, drifting across the lively Zhuque Street, drifting across the tall vermilion palace walls, and naughty at the tip of the beast’s nose I picked it up, and then fell gently to the ground, gluing the wet floor of the laundry bureau into a thin blanket.
"The amount is wrong, the amount is really wrong. If your majesty asked him last year, he could be a little bolder and respond directly, it would not be the same as the two ends of the first mouse looking at a treasure mountain. , But dare not reach out and touch it."
The rich Hebei Province accent echoed in the sky full of catkins. Xu Chongshan, the plump Datang guard deputy commander, stood under the side hall, with his hands in his sleeves, watching those who brought joy and pride from the royal study room The ministers who came out of the color, looked at the facsimiles held in their hands as treasures, and the disdain and contempt in their eyes gradually turned into the sour regret of missing their first love in their hometown.
"You said that you are a big boss, why do you just want to learn from those ministers? This is good, isn't it? It hurts to hit the back of your instep. Now your Majesty likes it more. The bigger the turmoil is, the less I dared to admit that I lied to your Majesty at that time. This is really a mistake, a mistake."
The little **** Lu Ji raised his head and glanced at the master's face, lowered his voice and suggested: "My lord, we have watched these months. Even if Ning Que hides no matter how deep he is, one day he will be dug by the court. Come out, not only will our crime of deceiving the king be implemented, but also our guards will have no benefit at all. Otherwise, let's... just gamble?"
"How to bet?" Xu Chongshan let out a cold snort in his nose, and said: "Your Majesty likes it, Queen Empress likes it, and those ministers don't know whether they really like it or not. But in short, Your Majesty has been disappointed for so long, and finally found that it is We have kept it from him for so long, all disappointment and likes will turn into anger towards you and me. By then, that kid Ning Que will not be in trouble, but you or me will bear the responsibility?"
Speaking of serious business, the accent of the deputy commander of Hebei Province has faded a lot, and he called me without talking about his forehead. Where did Lu Ji dare to answer, his eyes rolled around, thinking that if there is a day, he will carry a black pot and hold a board. It must be me, the little eunuch, this matter...you have to find a way to break the game.
"Lu Ji...Who do you think your Majesty trusts most in the palace besides the empress?" Xu Chongshan suddenly said.
Lu Ji was shocked, knowing that the deputy commander had already seen through his mind, he bowed his face in weeping, thinking for a long time and then tentatively said: "Master of the National Normal University?"
"I don't care what you do about this matter, but in short, you must do it properly. Let your Majesty know who wrote the character through the Master of the National Normal University, but you have to take the guards out of this matter. "
Xu Chongshan made a faint confession, and walked towards the palace gate.
Lu Ji picked up such a hot potato, where would he watch the adult leave the matter out of the way, followed up with an anxious face, and said in a low voice, "Master, it's easy to say, how to pick this?" /
"I want to pick it, let you think about it!" Xu Chongshan glanced back at him, and said angrily: "My master is busy with official duties every day, so how can I have time to do these little things." "
"It's not a magic weapon, but it's just a broken book post. How did you make such a big disturbance? The Longqing prince was also a trouble. He actually had to lead an adult to send troops to Peach Blossom Lane to suppress it. A beautiful young man, how come this big girl and little wife in Chang'an are crazy?"
The commander walked away, faintly listening to his complaining and nagging voice from the catkins: "The world is really chaotic!"
……
……
The peach blossoms in the Taohua Alley in Chang'an City have not yet bloomed, and the peach blossoms outside the Jingyuan Cemetery in the suburbs of the city have just produced countless pink buds. Jingyuan cemetery is located between Qinglin and Youshan, and those who are eligible to be buried here are basically Datang officials or wealthy businessmen. Now the season of outing and sweeping the tomb is at the right time, the cemetery is surrounded by wind-blow cigarettes, and paper money ashes with remaining warmth are piled up in front of the fire net on the edge of the woodland.
A thin senior middle-aged man in a gray robe stood on a high place in the cemetery, quietly watching the movement below, waiting for the people in front of the big stone tomb to leave, and then walked slowly.
Looking at the glorious resume of the year of birth and death of the Tang Yushi Zhang Yiqi on the tombstone, the gray-robed middle-aged man was silent for a moment, then walked to the tomb, his right hand slowly stroked the freshly pulled grass, palm face It is very close to the stubble surface of fresh grass roots, but not completely in contact.
The gray-robed thin senior middle-aged surnamed Lin Mingling, a master of the Northeast Frontier Army of the Tang Dynasty, a master of the Dongxuan realm, ordered by the town army general Xiahou, he arrived in the capital city of Chang'an early last winter and began a secret investigation of Zhang Yiqi Waiting for the death of the person, in the past six months, through acquaintances of the military department, he has read many files of the Sanchun murder case, and went to Chengdong Blacksmith's Workshop and Chengnan Lake Xiaozhu to conduct field investigations several times. As for Jingyuan Cemetery, it was the fourth time. coming.
The last two homicide files are not without doubts. The file that never caught the real murderer is the biggest doubt in itself. It’s just that the frontier army master did not find a link between the two files. Moreover, he was under the order of General Xiahou to investigate secretly. Before he found conclusive evidence, he was inconvenient to ventilate with relevant government agencies, and naturally there was no way to get help from those agencies such as Chang'an Mansion.
As for the dossier of the death of Yushi Zhang Yiqi, he has read it many times, and he hasn't seen any problems at all. It looks like an old Yushicang who fears his wife like a tiger and ran out of the brothel with traffic. Accident. He didn’t know, because Mrs. Yushi didn’t give up on the Red Sleeve Trick at first, the Chang’an Mansion did a very solid job of this dossier, not to mention him, even if the court sent professionals, it’s impossible to find anything in the dossier. problem.
If you change to an ordinary person, you don’t find any strangeness in a few months, maybe you will leave Chang'an directly and return to the northeast barracks to present your own judgment, but Lin Ling is not only a master of the cave profound realm, but also He was a Datang soldier. Before he was completely certain, he had enough perseverance and patience to persevere. Moreover, he knew better than anyone that General Xiahou and General Gu Xi would never accept any vague conclusions.
Before he left, Gu Xi once told him that the most important thing about the three homicides in Chang'an was the death of Yushi Zhang Yiqi. The general did not need him to find out if there was any connection between these homicides, just He determined whether Yushi Zhang Yiqi really died in a traffic accident without any other doubts.
"The suburbs of Chang'an, the tombs of the powerful and nobles..." Lin Ling quietly looked at the tomb pile in front of him, frowned slowly, and his voice was so soft that he sighed: "Neither can we invite Chang'an Mansion to open the coffin for an autopsy, and It is impossible to open this tomb by himself at the risk of the imperial court chasing the anger. How can we find out if there is any problem with the death of the Yushi in the coffin?"
Although he didn't get anything, he still didn't choose to leave, although he seemed to be stuck in a predicament. Instead, his face gradually showed determination, stepped back, lifted the front of the green robe and sat on the ground on.
What he will do next will cause great damage to the cultivation base, and is similar to looking for a small stone in the haystack. What’s more troublesome is that he doesn’t know if there is that one in the haystack. Xiao Shili, but he decided to do this, because only by doing this can he convince himself to leave Chang'an.
In this way, this Dong Profound Realm expert from the Northeast Frontier Army of Datang sat down between the tombs. Let the catkins lightly fall on his clothes, and let the newborn green peach buds look at him mockingly at the top. From the morning to the afternoon, the shadow shrinks from an angle, and his face becomes more and more serious. The paler.
I don’t know how long it has passed, Lin Ling slowly opened his eyes and looked at the tomb of the imperial history not far in front of him. There was an extremely shocked expression on his face, but doubts appeared in his eyes. A little bit of lightness, as if to feel relieved because of certain things and certain speculations.
Raising his sleeves and gently wiping off the sweat dripping from his eyebrows, he stood up with difficulty, holding his tired waist and taking a deep breath of the smoke-smelling air above the tombs, and slowly approached Changan City. Go in the direction of
On the second day, the quietness of Yushi Zhang Yiqi’s tomb was disturbed again. Those who came were not the fierce wives in the house who cried into tears yesterday, nor were the plump and dry concubines, but Lin Linghe. Several government officials from Chang'an Prefecture.
Today, Lin Ling did not wear that cyan civilian clothes, but instead wore a Tang Jun uniform. He looked very neat and strong. He looked back and bowed his hand to the several Chang'an government officials and said softly: "My lord, since I am willing to Xiangshang’s head is a guard, so dare to ask when we will open the coffin?"
The government officials separated, and Shangguan Yin Yang Yu of Chang'an Mansion walked out with a frown.
