Chapter 1
At dusk, the drizzle is faint, and the pine forests around Büssen are surrounded by black clouds. I didn't see a single person for half a day. Black clouds fell on the treetops, and heavy rain was brewing. Di Gongce's horse hurried through the forest, it was the summer heat, the whole body robe was already wet, the beads of sweat on his face were flowing in one piece, and the thick long beard was embellished with water droplets that flashed and shone brightly. The horseshoe trampled on the dead leaves, sometimes splashing strings of sludge water, emitting a musty smell. Swarms of mosquitoes surrounded di gong people and horses, buzzing and driving them away.
(燠: pronounce 'jade', 箨: pronounce '拓')
Di Gong complained to himself for half a day, regretting that he did not listen to the instructions of the innkeeper, and only coveted the scenery along the way, but lost the road. If you can't reach Kiyokawa Town before dark, you have to stay in this forest. Thinking of this, his heart cried bitterly, sighed, pulled his hand to untie the gourd tied behind the saddle, and drank a few sips on his back. The tea in the gourd was still slightly warm, but there was a sense of staleness in his mouth, and Di Gong couldn't help but frown.
There was a loud roar of hooves, and a ride flashed between the trees in front of it. The rider looked like him, and there was a large gourd hanging behind the saddle. Tie a red ribbon. In a large black robe was a stooped body with a gray beard. When I looked closer, the mount was a skinny old green donkey with two long guns on its back. Di Gong couldn't help but clench the hilt of the Rain Dragon Sword he was wearing under his waist.
(橐: pronounce 'Tuo', 伛: pronounce 'Yu')
Di Gongce immediately stepped forward and arched his hand, "Emperor Zhangren, he has lost his way in the lower forest, but this road in front of him leads to Qingchuan Town?" ”
The old man slowly opened his eyes on the back of the donkey, looked curiously at the gourd behind Di Gong's saddle, and smiled: "The doctor is going along this road, but he has to go around the big bend." The old decay is fine, guide you for a while. ”
Di Gong thought to himself, the boss stared at his gourd for half a day, he must have recognized himself as a Lang Zhong, hurriedly thanked him, and laughed: "Forgive the next abruptness, the thought of the emperor is also a doctor." ”
(谥: Pronounce 'save')
The old man laughed, "Old Decadence is just a Daoist who travels all over the world." He said and patted the gourd on the donkey's back, "This gourd is empty, how can it be more than your gourd burying a lot of elixirs?" Old Decay just likes this gourd, so he often wears it around, and people here call Old Decadence Mr. Gourd. Oh, it is 'the sun and moon hanging at both ends of the pillar staff, and the gourd is a hidden mountain'. ”
Di Gong Wei Wei.
Mr. Hulu added, "The language under the foot is not like the Jiangnan characters, but it is also a cloud swimming here." ”
Di Gong agreed, but did not speak. I thought that since this old man was an outsider Taoist, it seemed that he did not have to seriously disclose his identity to him.
Mr. Hulu glanced at Di Gong again, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
(乜: Read 'extinguish')
The two riders walked for more than ten miles one after the other, and Mr. Hulu suddenly turned back and said, "Doctor, let's go to the river first, and there is a person in DaqingZhou who may not have drowned." ”
Di Gong agreed, and the horse followed Mr. Hulu.
In a few moments, the pine forest was turned out. Outside the forest, there is a long causeway, and the fish pond outside the long causeway is shrouded in hazy evening mist. Looking at the lush forests, the rivers and rivers are far away, the atmosphere is lush, and the scenery is very beautiful. They walked along the long causeway for a while and came to the banks of the Great Qing River.
The fish market on the shore had already dispersed, and a group of panicked people surrounded the wide dock. A small group of military men were shouting there to drive away the crowd, and a tall horse was patrolling the shore, and immediately sat a fierce lieutenant.
Mr. Hulu whispered, "The government has already sent someone here, and it seems that there is no need for you or me to fuck the gods." Doctor, since we are here, why don't we go up and see the liveliness? Saying this, he rolled over and got off the donkey, drew two crutches from the back of the donkey and propped himself up, and staggered into the crowd.
Di Gong smiled darkly in his heart, "I still think it is two long guns, but it turned out to be a lame immortal." ”
The onlookers seemed to recognize Mr. Hulu and gave way one after another.
"Mr. Hulu, Dai Ning was fine in his life after this, and he actually ate people for a moment or three." Someone whispered Mr. Gourd.
Di Gong tied a horse at the edge of an ancient willow, and then led the green donkey left by Mr. Hulu and tied it together, and also squeezed into the crowd.
The four military men were pushing the crowd hard to prevent them from being brought closer to the corpse. Di Gong squeezed to the front and looked at it, and couldn't help but shiver.
The deceased was apparently tortured and tortured in every way during his lifetime. The skin and flesh that had been roasted by the fire and mushed exposed its white bones because it had been soaked in water for too long, which was very vicious and terrible. The hands had been chopped off, and the arms and arms had not yet been severed, pasted into the sleeves of the bloodied shirt. The belly was cut open, the internal organs were visible throughout the history, and the dirty intestines fell under the belly crotch, and the smell was unbearable. Bing Cao, who was also full of deeds, was carefully examining the body around the body.
Suddenly, a lean and dry agent squeezed in and shouted, "The bag on that arm is mine: he stole my silver and will not die." ”
The soldier had taken a coarse blue cloth bag from under the shoulder of the corpse, and he glanced at the agent with disdain, but handed the bag to the lieutenant on the horse.
Di Gongzheng looked at the agent doubtfully, and Mr. Hulu elbowed him and said softly, "That person is the Wei treasurer of the Qingbird Guest House, and the deceased is the accounting office in his shop, named Dai Ning." ”
Di Gong saw that next to Wei Wasing stood a woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although the dress is rough, it is very delicate of the water spirit.
The lieutenant finally issued an order: "Carry the body back to the military village, and Wei Cheng of the Blue Bird Guest House and the two fishermen who found the body will be escorted to the military village for investigation." ”
The officer instructed several military officers to lift Dai Ning's body on stretchers, and then escorted Wei Cheng and two fishermen along a bluestone slab street to the military camp.
The crowd dispersed, and Di Gong went to untie the reins of the willow tree, while asking Mr. Hulu: "The deceased is the people of the town and the city, how can this case be solved and sent to the military camp for trial?" ”
(Ju: Pronounce 'Ju')
Mr. Hulu said, "The doctor is somewhat unknown, there is a famous royal palace on this Great Qingchuan River, called 'Bishui Palace'." Therefore, the military and civilian administrative affairs and criminal names of the whole town of Cheongcheon here are under the management of the Yulin Camp Military Village stationed here, and the one who rides the high-headed horse is the lieutenant of the military division in the camp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two large inns there, one is called Jiuxiao Guest House, and the other is the Blue Bird Guest House that committed this murder. The doctor took care of himself and went to sleep, and the old decay resigned here. He said and patted the big ear of the green donkey with his hand. The green donkey turned and stomped into a narrow alley, and disappeared in an instant.
Di Gong led his mount slowly along the bluestone slab street. Seeing that there was a blacksmith shop and a horse shop in the corner of the street, Di Gong quickly led the horse into the shop and gave the blacksmith a copper coin. He asked him to brush the horse's hooves, so that he could feed some bran, and after taking it away, he would come back to collect it the next morning.
Di Gong originally planned to pass through this Town of Cheongcheon, recuperate for two days, fish and visit scenic spots, and did not want to expose his identity. Who knew that when he saw Dai Ning's body, his heart could not calm down for a long time. He wondered how the lieutenant colonel in the military village would hear the murder. And walking and thinking, I didn't realize that I had walked into a tea shop.
The tea shop is full of people, the tea smoke is swirling, and the tables of idle and boring tea customers are talking about today's amazing news with great taste. Di Gong picked a pair of seats and sat down, and Cha Botu came up to serve attentively, and in a short moment he served a cup of freshly brewed incense. ——The tea guests talked about Dai Ning's words, and occasionally listened to a few words, which were not true, probably saying that Dai Ning would not steal Wei Cheng's silver, and saying that he died too tragically, and so on. Di Gong thought that the matter of lodging had not yet been decided, and did not dare to sit for a long time, so he took a few sips of tea and hurried out of the tea shop and hurried to the hot place in the city.
(廛: Pronounce 'murmur')
The city is located in the south of the Yulin Camp Military Village, all the way to see the carriages and horses Khotan, the crowds are crowded, the shops are like a forest, like the state capital, very prosperous. As he walked past the gate of the military village, Di Gong couldn't help but look up curiously at the towering fort, and just as he was standing tall at the side of the fence, he was taking a look at the soldier Cao who was inspecting the side of the fence. ------------------------------------------------- ”
(骈阗: gathered together; 骈: read cheap 'poop', Khotan: pronounced 'Tian'; 辏:讀 '凑)
Di Gong was just about to leave the gate of the military village, but the soldier Cao had already come down to the fort and quickly walked to Di Gong: "Wait a minute, Lieutenant Colonel Zou of the Military Commandery wants to see Mr. Zou, and he has been waiting here for a long time." ”
Di Gong was shocked, and the soldier had already stretched out an arm to pull Di Gong under the stone ladder of the fort. Seeing that he had gently commanded the guards on duty a few words, he instructed Di Gong to go upstairs. Di Gong obeyed involuntarily, did not climb the three or four stone steps, only heard a "clanging" sound behind his back, and the battalion had closed the iron gate of the fort. He hung up a large arm-like lock again.
-------------------------
Chapter II
Di Gong followed Bing Cao circling the stone ladder and came to the door of a hall. The soldier went to the two bronze rings of the vermilion hammer and slapped them twice, the door opened, and it was indeed the fierce lieutenant who shao jian saw on the dock.
"Di Xian Ling's big driver is coming, it can really be described as a fluffy swing, only afraid of the small village, can not rest horses, late birth here waited for a long time." Lieutenant Colonel Zou smiled and said softly, "Late-born surname Zou, name Liwei, humble position in the military division." On the one hand, he also ordered: "Liu Bing Cao Quan and retire, this time by myself to entertain Di Xian Ling." ”
Di Gong was stunned: "How do you know me?" ”
Zou Liwei chuckled, "I met once when I was in the Beijing Division, and Di Xian Ling will remember me as a small officer." Besides, when you were on the dock today, you were standing next to Mr. Hulu. Di Xian ordered this time to come to Qingchuan Town, mo is not official, but also inconvenient to publicize, so this micro-costume dress. ”
Di Gong said, "In my spare time, I admire the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers of the Great Qingchuan River, and the scenery is pleasant, so I only hope to come here for about two days to fish and rest." My pro-company Qiao Tai and Ma Rong were left behind by the owner of The Seven Mile Village in Houshan to help fight wild boar there. Two days later, they came here to join me and return to Puyang together. Gu'er did not dare to disturb the place and stir up trouble in vain. ”
Zou Liwei laughed again: "Di Xian Ling still has such leisure and leisure?" Dare to ask you where this gourd came from. ”
"When the lower official passed by the Guandi Temple Village, an old garden was kindly donated. This hot and miserable road can be filled with herbal tea. Unexpectedly, even Mr. Hulu was mistaken, and only said that I was Lang Zhong, who was walking in the direction. Lieutenant Zou knew the details of Mr. Hulu, and the subordinate officer saw that he was a little strange. ”
Zou Liwei replied: "This Mr. Hulu is a high soil, and he has been coming to this Town of Qingchuan for two or three years, and he has lived in a tent deep in the pine forest, cultivating his true nature, and rarely interacting with people." The townspeople recognized him, but did not know where he came from. ”
Di Gong caressed his beard for a long time, but asked, "I don't know what the subordinate officials have ordered when they summon them." ”
Zou Liwei said, "Di Xian Ling may have heard that all the scholars, merchants, merchants, hundred craftsmen, etc. who travel to and from Qingchuan Town must be registered in the military village, and the imperial court has long had clear laws." Now the three princesses of the emperor are stationed in bishui Palace, and the area around Cheongcheon town is particularly strict, or there are violations of the prohibition and law, and the punishment is extremely harsh. Today I saw that Di Xian Ling was dressed up in the middle of the fang lang, but also did not want to disclose the official body, so it was better to register it with the title of one of my old friends of the Beijing Division. ”
Di Gong was hesitant, and his heart was covered with clouds and fog.
Zou Liwei turned and shouted, "Liu Bing Cao! ”
Liu Bingcao came in and respectfully presented a fold of Cambodia. Di Gong took a look at it, it was originally a big red post, with the inscription "Jingshi Dafu Liang Mo", and the back was stamped with the stamp of the Qingchuan Town Military Camp and the date of Zhu Batch. I also understood in my heart, and folded it into my sleeve.
Zou Liwei suddenly sighed, "Di Xian ordered this time to come to Qingchuan Town as a guest, and if there are problems in the late life, it is good to have a consultation." ”
(喟: Pronounce 'feed')
Di Gong asked busily, "I just don't know what problems I encountered?" ”
Zou Liwei raised an eyebrow: "Don't hide from Di Xian Ling, since the Three Princesses were stationed in this Bishui Palace, in the past three years, they have been tired of running for this place, and they have exhausted their efforts." These three princesses are the emperor's favorite daughters, she has a little accident here, how can we afford it? ”
Di Gong wondered, "Could it be that the guards in the Bishui Palace are also official business under their feet?" ”
"No, no, the late life is only in charge of the official affairs of the Water and Land Division of Kiyokawa Town, and there are still three adults in the Bishui Palace who are in charge of the palace ban." The highest officials were the eunuchs of neicheng Lei, who had the power to supervise the gates of the palace, followed by Wen Dong, the chief of the palace, and Kang Wenxiu, the general of Yiwei Zhonglang. - General Kang is the late-born Shangfeng. ”
(Yi: Reading 'Art')
Di fair. "I saw that this Town of Cheongcheon is convenient for land and water, rich in materials and people, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, just as the so-called Taiping prosperous scene, the folk customs are thick, and the ancient style still exists. The feet can be arched and healed, but why worry? ”
Zou Liwei shook his head: "What Di Xian Ling said is very true, although there have been no thieves, beggars, or prostitutes in Qingchuan Town for a long time, it is difficult to ensure that there are no bold and arrogant giant traitors flowing here, stirring up waves, and bothering the place." ”
(慝: Pronounce 'Special')
Di Gong nodded frequently, "Could it be that the foot is referring to the murder of Dai Ning's person in the Blue Bird Guest House?" ”
Zou Liwei laughed bitterly: "That Dai Ning was killed by gangsters on a mountain road in a neighboring county, and his body was thrown into the Great Qingchuan River and drifted down the river to the town of Qingchuan." In this matter, you can prevaricate as much as possible in the late life, and transfer the text to the neighboring county for reasoning. ”
Di Gong was puzzled: "Didn't Wei Cheng and Dai Ning's Qingwu Guest House understand that it was opened in Qingchuan Town?" How can this man's major murder case be delayed and misidentified? ”
Zou Liwei looked at Di Gong and smiled, "By the way, here are a few things that were found from Dai Ning's corpse and handed over at the same time," He pointed with his finger at a fold map, an abacus, a stack of famous thorns and a string of copper coins on the table.
Di Gong unfolded the folded map and saw that the map showed that the mountain road from Cheongcheon Town to the neighboring county was painted with a thick zhu ink.
"Di Xian Ling, Dai Ning stole Wei Cheng's twenty-two pieces of silver and absconded along this mountain road where Zhu Mo was painted. Wei Cheng was a notorious misery here, and I had to compensate him for the twenty-two pieces of silver that I had to pay. Di Xian Ling, I am tired of you first taking this abacus and a string of copper coins back to the Blue Bird Guest House to return him, otherwise he will also accuse me of Zou Liwei hiding his shopkeeper. ”
(悭: Read 'Thousand')
Di Gong yiyun took the abacus into his arms, and then used his little finger to tick the string of copper coins, saying: "It doesn't hurt to return his abacus and copper coins, but you need to mention a sum in the copy file." It is not known whether this abacus, the copper coin, and the murder case may have some kind of connection, for example, Dai Ning originally went to the Ten Mile Shop to collect the account? ”
Zou Liwei laughed: "As the saying goes, fish can't do without water, scales can't do without stones, and brokers can't do without abacus books." - Of course, Mr. Bookkeeper must bring this abacus with him, haha. As for the string of copper coins, in Wei Cheng's eyes, they were regarded as yellow and white things, and they also spared him a lot of entanglement. ”
Di Gong asked, "How did he know that Dai Ning had stolen twenty-two pieces of silver from Wei's treasurer?" ”
"Hey, Di Xian Ling still doesn't know?" This Wei Cheng was a dime-thin iron rooster and a scrooge. How many loose copper coins were in the counter drawer that he remembered nothing, and the twenty-two pieces of silver were stolen so much that he didn't know? But it was like cutting his heart and liver, and it was still a fluke that he didn't lose his heart. Because of this, he did everything around him and became a lonely person. Half a month ago, even his wife eloped with others, but it was not retribution in this world. Well, without talking about this, these two days of drizzle and the river breeze are tight, which is a good time to catch carp. Oh, if there is anything unsatisfactory, you can come to the military village to find me, but don't forget your identity: Jingshi Da Liang Mo. - Don't be negligent. The Blue Bird Guest House is not a hundred steps south. ”
Chapter III
It rained heavily as it got dark. There was no one on the bluestone street, and Di Gong covered his head with a square linoleum cloth, but his whole body was wet. Ignorantly being manipulated for half a day, a cold rain poured on him a little to wake him up. At this time, he felt very regretful, regretting that he should not have hastily accepted the false identity of "Liang Mo" without asking the reason, and he had a premonition that something very strange would follow. Instead, he pondered the purpose of Zou Liwei's move, but he couldn't figure it out. Thinking of the tragic situation of Dai Ning's body, he felt that there was a series of strange things in this Town of Qingchuan, and Zou Liwei swallowed and vomited, as if it was difficult to say that it was inconvenient to declare, but he obviously disregarded Dai Ning's life. Who does he imply to? With thoughts swirling in my heart, I didn't realize that I had reached the door of the Blue Bird Guest House.
(阒: Read 'go')
The lights were lit in the morning in the store, and two rows of copper candlesticks flashed strange flames in the empty hall, permeating a mysterious atmosphere.
Di Gong approached the tent, and Wei Cheng busied himself with smiling faces. Di Gong filled it out in the registration book, asked for the room number, and then took out the abacus from his arms and handed it to Wei Cheng with a string of copper coins, saying: "Liu Bingcao of the military village wants me to send these two things back to your shop." This abacus was found from Dai Ning's corpse, and it is impossible to come to your shop to do business. ”
Wei Cheng thanked him and put the abacus into the drawer of the accounting table, but the copper coin was carefully incorporated into the sleeve. He muttered, "I thought there were twenty-two silver miles in that bag. What does this string of copper coins stand up to? ”
Di Gong entered the guest room, hurriedly packed up, and went to the soup pool to bathe.
The pond did not have many guests at this time. In the steaming heat, I saw two fierce and vicious men fighting in the pool, and a bamboo bed and a tea table were set up on the white tile floor, and on the bamboo bed sat a five-short-stature, large-bellied businessman who was eating tea to watch the battle. Di Gong took care of himself and bathed, washed away the smell of pickled sweat for a day, and then climbed into the pool and watched happily.
The shang jia looked up and down at Di Gong, and did not squeak, causing his eyes to whisper a few words. Only to see that the waiter was busy withdrawing the coffee table, putting on the clean shirt and socks, and quietly retreated. Shang Jia wore the crown and wore it slowly. The man who was fighting in the pool also got up to wipe his body, saw Shang Jia a cold eye, and made a loud noise towards Di Gong, so he squeezed the towel to protect Shang Jia out of the soup pool.
(聒: pronounced 'pot')
Di Gong felt that he was not interested, he knew that when the merchant Jia was tengda, the arrogance was in his eyebrows, and he usually disdained to talk to people. Those two fierce and fierce men must be his retinue servants, often practicing a good martial art and guarding him personally.
When Di Gong was wearing his clothes, he suddenly saw that his back had been flipped over, and there were no less things inside, but the big red name post signed by the military village was wet, and his heart couldn't help but be suspicious.
At the end of dinner, a bright crescent moon hangs on the canopy. Di Gong blew out the candle, sat on the chair near the window and admired the quiet night, and was waiting to drive away the confusion of the day, when someone knocked lightly on the door, and a maid pushed the door in with a tea tray. The maid glanced at Di Gong, slowly put down the tea tray and was waiting to turn around, Di Gongmeng provinceed, isn't this the handsome woman who stands next to Wei Gong on the dock during the day? But it turned out that it was also summoned by the guest house.
"The young lady is so good-looking that she seemed to have seen the body on the dock today."
"Oh, the guest officer has good eyesight, Wei Zhangcheng ordered two people in the shop to be considered corpse relatives, and Dai Ning has no relatives in this town."
Di Gong sighed, "Sure enough, as I expected, the young lady didn't look like a rough handmaiden." ”
The woman smiled, "Treasurer Wei is my distant uncle, and my parents followed me after they died." Usually, the aunt only takes care of some housework, but these two days the guest house has become a pot of porridge, and I occasionally come out to take care of the guests. Like the guest official, who has such a majestic figure and a dignified appearance, the slave family is the most admired. ”
Di Gong found that this woman was not only beautiful, but also clever and alert, and had a city government in her chest.
"Oh, Miss, take the liberty of asking for your name."
"The slave's name is Zi Qian, and she is eighteen years old this year."
"Miss Zi Qian, do you know the guest who just came out of the soup pool?" He took with him several wolf-like retinue of servants. ”
"Could the guest official be referring to the Lang Da treasurer of Hangzhou?" The daimyō is called Lang Liu. He was a regular customer of our shop, and there was one of his satin warehouses in the town of Kiyokawa. This time it has been more than half a month, and the upper class room in the west hall downstairs is all wrapped up by his gang. ”
Di Gong nodded frequently, and then changed the topic: "Miss Zi Qian, listen to the Wei treasurer said that Dai Ning stole twenty-two pieces of silver from him when he absconded, is this true?" ”
Zi Qian sneered disdainfully.
"Wei Treasurer he empty mouth Tu Lai, believe him can not. ——My distant uncle is shrewd and mean, extremely pitiful, and copper money is a life. I have never suffered a penny loss, where there will be twenty-two pieces of silver for people to steal. The official said that Dai Ning was loyal and would not be a thief. ”
Di Gong asked urgently, "Then why was he killed, I heard that he was on the mountain road to the neighboring county of Shilipu." ”
Zi Qian frowned, "Dai Ning didn't have any silver on him, so why did the strong man want to kill him?" ”
Di Gong said seriously, "I thought about it, that miscreant originally expected him to have money, he is the accounting room of the guest house, how can he have no money?" Who knew that he could not find the silver in half a day, so he became angry and poisoned his hands. - Miss Zi Qian seems to be very familiar with Dai Ning. ”
(Minoru: Read 'forbearance')
Zi Qian's face flashed a thin red halo: "The guest officer guessed exactly, a business in a shop, how can it not be familiar?" We often go to the Great Chiang River to catch fish and crabs. He was born and raised, and he was very watery, and he could count the water beaches of the thirty-mile river channel up and down the Great Kiyokawa River with his eyes closed, and a sampan was pulled out of the water like a fly... However, although we are familiar with each other, there is nothing else, and if I had not rowed a good boat, he would have ignored my hairy head piece. Besides, Dai Ning he... It doesn't hurt to tell you, he has already secretly taken a fancy to my aunt and is always fascinated. ”
"What? Your son-in-law? Isn't it the wife of Wei Treasurer? Di Gong was shocked.
"Lady Wei is not young."
"Yes, the aunt Huang is six or seven years older than Dai Ning, but she looks tender and white flesh, and she has never given birth to a child, so she is not very old." Alas, Dai Ning, he is actually unrequited, my aunt is usually steady and dignified, not smiling, in fact, there are people in my heart, and I don't pay attention to Dai Ning's obsession. Half a month ago, my aunt had eloped with someone..."
"Eloped half a month ago?" Who is that person? Layers of doubt arose in Di Gong's heart.
Zi Qian shook her head, a mysterious smile on her face.
Di Gong continued, "Lady Wei's departure, wei treasurer does not say, then Dai Would rather be the head blow, the heart must be abnormal." ”
Zi Qian snorted disapprovingly; "He doesn't seem to be very concerned about his heart, a few days ago I saw him on the accounting table while still humming a small song, it is a man's heart slippery, set long." ”
Di Gong suddenly understood in his heart that Wei Huangshi and Dai Ning had successfully concealed Zi Qian, and of course had also concealed Wei Cheng. The two of them had agreed that Wei Huangshi would take a step forward to stay for a while at Shilipu in a neighboring county on the other side of the mountain beam, waiting for Dai Ning's arrival. Didn't the map on Dai Ning's body use Zhu Mo to outline the first line of mountain roads from Kiyokawa Town to Shilipu? It was also on this mountain road to Shilipu that Dai Ning was killed by the gangsters who cut the path. At present, Wei Huangshi must still be waiting for the Ten Mile Shop. He had to quickly tell Lieutenant Zou about this information, so as to cooperate with the neighboring counties to find out the details of it, and it seemed that the cause of Dai Ning's death was not simple.
Di Gong woke up from his contemplation and found that Zi Qian was looking at himself doubtfully, not feeling embarrassed, and busily laughed: "Miss Zi Qian is self-stable, and when you have time one day, you still want to invite you to go fishing with me on the Daqing River." ”
Zi Qian was overjoyed: "Tomorrow morning I will row a boat to take you, and there will be a good place to fish along the Great Qing River for a few miles, called the Ruins Stone Rock." Dr. Liang, the slave family has resigned here. ”
After Zi Qian left, Di Gong caressed his whiskers with satisfaction, and he only felt that he was a little confused by Zi Qian's enthusiasm and frankness. ——She already knew that she was "Dr. Liang"!
The moon is in the middle of the day, the light is like a note, and the air is exceptionally fresh after the rain. Di Gong's tiredness had subsided at this time, and he thought that it was still early to go to bed, so it was better to go to the street market for a while and enjoy the night view.
Di Gong had just walked downstairs, and was greeted by Wei's treasurer: "Dr. Liang, there are sick people who are in urgent need of medical treatment, and they are specifically looking for Mr. Yan to hire." ”
Di Gong saw a butler-like man sitting in the hall, and at the door stood six sedans dressed in black and black pants and tight clothes.
The butler nodded and stepped forward: "Please ask Dr. Liang to get on the car." ”
Di Gong pondered that it must be that Zou School had an urgent complaint attached to it, and falsely claimed that the patient was extending the doctor.
He had appeared in this town of Kiyokawa as Liang Mo for less than half a day, and how the daimyo suddenly alarmed the non-commissioned officers and people here. He lifted the car curtain and was waiting for the car, but he was surprised, there was already a young girl sitting in the car, a pair of lingxiu big eyes were staring at himself tightly, Di Gong hurriedly took a step backwards, wanted to close the car curtain and ask the bottom of the end, the girl opened her mouth like a warbler: "Dr. Liang entered the car to elaborate on it. He said and moved his body to the side. Di Gongluo hesitated, and also lowered his head into the car and sat down on the side of the girl. The curtain of the car was lowered, and the car was lifted like a fly.
Chapter IV
"Miss," Di Gong couldn't help but open his mouth, "which noble person in the house is infected?" Such a rush is panicked. ”
"Mother."
"Oops, poor doctors can't come to women's Taoist families." Di Gong couldn't help but panic.
"Well, the mother of the family is the follower of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and the foreman of the concubines of the Bishui Palace." The girl's face showed a look of pride.
"I don't know what kind of disease Ling Tang is suffering from?" Di Gong asked again in a low voice.
"Go out of the city gate and tell you again." Hugh is going to talk again! The girl almost commanded the tone.
Di Gong was bored and had a bad seizure, so he had to put up with it for the time being.
After walking for about two or three miles out of the north gate of Kiyokawa Town, the girl lifted the curtain and hung the corner of the curtain. A gust of night wind blew into the car, only to feel the slightest coolness. Di Gong looked up and saw a dark and lush pine forest on all sides, and the palanquin was winding along a small stone path between the pine forests. He looked sideways at the girl again, as if to ask if she could speak.
The girl opened her mouth first: "Doctor, you don't have to ask this and that, Luo Is not clear." I was only ordered to summon you into the palace, and I don't know anything else. At present, there are a few words of advice, do not forget: there is a medical box under the car seat, and inside the box are four packs of pills and a square note. There is a person named Guo Erye who once asked you to diagnose and treat his asthma, only a pair of medicines, hand to hand to get rid of the disease, so it is very admirable. Now that my mother is also suffering from this asthma, Second Master Guo has written a letter and recommended you. ——Can the doctor remember these few words of mine clearly? ”
Di Gong only felt ignorant, and his mouth was only wei, and he recited it in his stomach.
The girl reached out and took off the hook and lowered the curtain. In front of it, you can already see the red clay palace walls of the BishuiGuan and the glazed tiles of the Bishuiguan in the moonlight.

Suddenly, a school of lights flashed outside the car curtain, and several guards with swords stepped forward. The housekeeper got off the horse and checked the signature and handed over the name post. The half-shaking palanquin entered the ear door tucked to the left of the palace wall.
The palanquin twisted up and down the cloister of the palace garden in a dozen or so turns. Through the car curtain, the shadows and shadows of the lights and the palace and eunuchs could be seen from time to time, and Di Gong knew that people were not allowed to open the car curtain and look around when they arrived here. The car was lifted to a tall white jade arch bridge by the lotus pond and rested again.
The girl whispered in her ear, "After crossing this golden jade bridge, it is the inner palace." Only afraid that the eunuch of the guard would be interrogated, Dr. Liang must remember the few words I instructed, that is, to deal with it. ”
Di Gong nodded.
Sure enough, a fat eunuch with a white face and clean skin stepped forward and sang through the curtain: "Old Husband Lei wants to see Dr. Liang, who has been invited, and the rest of the people are all waiting under the car and are not allowed to move." ”
Chapter V
Di Gong was secretly crying bitterly in his heart at this time. He didn't understand all this that was happening in front of him, and he didn't want to ask too many questions, and his heart was bottomless. Obviously, this drama must be the head of the mysterious Zou Liwei, who arranged all this, the trap was made of dense, and he only caught himself to drill. Now that he was still in the dark, he didn't know which one wanted to see him, ask for him, or want to harm him, and he was led by the nose and confused into this heavily guarded and mysterious Bishui Palace. He knew that the road had been cut off, and that there would be a contradictory drama for him to perform, whether it was fierce or auspicious, unpredictable. In front of him, a thunder eunuch had to see him, and what kind of person was the third princess's retinue? What kind of illness she had, she had to ask me to heal, but she was so sneaky that she was afraid of seeing people. Di Zhengyi was full of thoughts and doubts, and overheard the fat eunuch drinking: "Kneel down and wait for the will." Di Gong hurriedly knelt down, and he understood that he had arrived at the door of the Lei eunuch's fasting.
The fat eunuch went in to make a report, and shao carved out of the door: "Old Husband Lei summoned Liang Da." ”
Di Gong lowered his eyebrows and walked into the palace and knelt down again: "Please Lei GongGong Da'an." ”
"Excuse me, rabbit, look up." The voice of the eunuch Lei was slender and crisp, and it was not majestic.
Di Gong looked up and saw that this house was not rich and luxurious, golden and brilliant, but just like a quiet study. The pavilion is open, the window mallet is bright, a scroll of celebrity landscapes hangs in the middle, a pair of sprinkled gold couplets on each side, and a slender rosewood flower stand under the window, with an ancient porcelain vase and several begonias inserted in the bottle. Next to the flower stand a large book case, on which are placed the four treasures of the study room, and in one corner are piled up letters and scrolls. There was a one-horned monster lying by the door, and the seven tricks of the monster spat out cigarettes, and the hall was full of luxury. The flowers and trees outside the garden are sparse, the birds chirp, and the weather is very elegant.
Eunuch Lei was slightly slender, wearing a shiny soft yellow palace robe, and a thin, sallow face facing the beaded gold crown, and his silver beard was sparse. Although it is the twilight of the year and the state of the dragon bell, there is still an aggressive power and dignity, which is awe-inspiring.
"There are already four imperial doctors in the palace, so why did Grandma Wang deliberately invite you into the palace?" Eunuch Lei asked.
Di Gong replied worriedly: "On the profoundness of the medical path, naturally the little witch has seen the big witch, how dare the little doctor take the chance to trespass?" I think it must be the recommendation of Second Master Guo, and Grandma Wang lifted up the little doctor like this. At that time, Second Master Guo suffered from asthma and ate a small doctor's medicine, and he saw that he was cured. Now I heard that Grandma Wang also suffered from asthma, and she had taken several medicines, but it had not yet worked. ”
"Well, well, it was originally Second Master Guo's recommendation." In this way, there must be something strange about the medicine in Dr. Liang's gourd. Eunuch Lei spoke with his eyes closed.
"The small doctor's pills are nothing more than common medicines such as Banxia, Yuanzhi, Ephedra, and Chuanbei, but they are just participating in the Wu Method, and they are only appropriate for urgency and urgency."
Eunuch Lei chuckled, "The drama will change, but it's different." ——Dr. Liang Takami, Takami. But don't be self-defeating, it is not easy to come in this golden jade bridge, and it is especially difficult to go out of the golden jade bridge. Grand Lady Liang Junjie, good for yourself, do not need me to be trivial. ”
Di Gong was only wei in his mouth, and he felt even more surprised in his heart. Although this thunder eunuch closed his eyes, he seemed to be self-evident and took charge of the overall situation, and these words did not contain a sense of admonition.
Eunuch Lei opened his eyes, looked at Di Gong with Yan Yuexi, and patted the back of the chair. The fat eunuch entered in response.
"Send Dr. Liang across the Jinyu Bridge to treat Mamma Wang." Turning back and smiling at Di Gong, he said, "I hope that Grandma Wang will also get rid of the disease with a single medicine, and Dr. Liang will save the second time to come back here." "Say goodbye and flick your sleeves.
Di Gong hurried to give thanks, stood up, and the eunuch Lei had leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.
The fat eunuch led Di Gong back to the Jinyu Bridge and sang to the girl, "The girl changed her car and led Dr. Liang into the inner palace." ”
The girl and Di Gong sat in two light palanquins with yellow aya and purple covers, carried them over the carved dragon phoenix and the gold and jade bridge inlaid with gold ornaments, and walked towards a delicate and chic palace at the end of the green wave.
In front of the palace, there were already palace attendants waiting for the lamp, and the girl rolled up the car curtain and directed the car to turn into a corner door in the green basket. Inside the corner door, two rows of yarn lamps were arranged, shining like daylight, and eight officials and women stood upright. The girl led Di Gong down to the palanquin, through the corridor, turning and smearing corners. Hurried towards the inner hall. In a few moments, we came to a quaintly furnished, fragrant bedroom, and a colored tent hung down from the back wall of the bedroom to cover the gum bed. At the front of the gum is a porcelain drum, which is used as a stool.
"Mother, Dr. Liang has arrived." The girl instructed Di Gong to sit down with a porcelain drum in front of the gum bed.
The tent flickered slightly, stretching out a rounded wrist with a pure white jade bracelet on it. Di Gong was just about to stretch out two fingers to cut the vein, only to see that wrist retracted and pressed a mechanism on the wall of the bed, and the frame of the bed wall suddenly moved, revealing a secret door behind the bed.
"Fast-forward!" An old woman's voice.
Di Gong was stunned, did not have time to think, hurriedly entered the secret door, overheard a "popping" sound behind his back, and the secret door closed. A ray of light slowly flashed in front of his eyes, and a dozen steps away was a golden and brilliant hall. In the hall, a beautiful young girl is sitting and reading a book, dignified and luxurious, and radiant. Di Gong thought to himself, the woman must be the third princess, and hurriedly took a step forward to kneel down and kowtow, not daring to look up.
Di Renjie flattened. At this moment, the situation is critical, and I would like to give a courtesy. You are called today, but there is one thing to ask for. In this matter, I am concerned with my own life, and I hope that Di Qingyi will obey my orders and pull me out of the water and fire. ”
Di Gong was shocked, raised his eyes to look up at the third princess, and slowly stood up. See the three princesses, the spring mountains are clear, the autumn water is condensed, and the face is shrouded in a heavy cloud.
(澹: Pronounced 'Dan' here)
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has a lot to offer, and she is eager to show that although the minister Di Renjie went to the soup and died in the fire."
Di Qing sat down and asked me to elaborate. Two days ago, at midnight, I was admiring the moon in the gazebo outside the attic of the palace. Under the pavilion is the Great Kiyosu River, the moon reflects the water, the silver waves are sparkling, and it is the most beautiful scenery in the heavens and on earth. The pavilion is in the corner of the palace wall, which is ten meters high from the river.
Because he coveted the moonlight, he wanted to reach out of the pavilion several times to look out, so he took off the jade bead string he wore around his neck and put it on the coffee table outside the pavilion. Who knew that it would be lost in the blink of an eye. Di Qing should know. The string of jade beads was given by his father and emperor, cherished and loved, and was originally a tribute to the king of Persia, and was made of eighty-four crystal clear jade beads of uniform size, and its price was incomparable. ”
Di Gong glanced at the Third Princess and asked, "Why did Her Royal Highness remove the jade bead string from her neck?" ”
The Third Princess replied, "Once when I was looking out at the scenery outside the pavilion, I accidentally dropped a golden earring into the river. Since then, he has been careful to take off the jade bead string in advance every time he admires the moon. Who knew that this time it was missing, and he thought that it had been stolen by someone. ”
"I wonder if the princess has searched the palace closely?" Di Gong asked again.
That night, the eunuchs and gong'e who had passed on the inner palace were all searched, and there was no trace of the jade bead string. I thought that this string of jade beads must have been stolen by people outside the palace, and the gangsters should have risked death to drive a boat, hidden under the palace wall, took the midnight patrol, climbed the palace wall, and when I was in the pavilion to admire the moon without noticing, they boldly stole away. ------------------------------------------------------- ”
Di Gong sighed for a moment and then said, "Princess Highness, this matter has been done without a head and no tail, leaving no trace, and there must be no doubt that he is a master on the beam." Wait for Wei Chen to calmly stay and slowly visit it. A thousand parties should not suddenly speak out and mislead the overall situation. ”
The Third Princess frowned and said, "Di Qing doesn't know, for the birthday of His Father, I will leave for The Beijing Division in the next day." If I can't find out the jade bead string in these two days, on the birthday of the father and emperor, why should I answer? In the ceremony of worshiping life, it is customary to wear a string of jade beads. He was anxious. ”
Di Gong was secretly surprised, and as expected, a thousand pounds of burden.
The Third Princess continued, "I hope di qing will secretly investigate this matter, and at the moment, no one inside or outside the Bishui Palace knows that I entrust you with the task of investigation." Once you find the thief and recover the string of beads, you can disclose your real surname and come to the palace to worship and return it. You tear open the seam of the collar at this moment. ”
Di Gong tore open the neckline of his robe, and the Three Princesses folded a piece of yellow silk into the neckline, and quickly pulled out the needle and thread and hurriedly stitched it.
"That yellow aya has my handwritten words, and once the jade bead string is recovered, that is, the palanquin based on the yellow aya enters the palace, no one dares to stop it." Di Qing, my life and future are all paid to you today, don't scribble and live up to me. Now you can go out of the palace. He sighed involuntarily.
Chapter VI
Di Gong returned to Grandma Wang's bedroom, took the pulse as usual, opened a unilateral party, and went to the medical box to take out four packs of pills and deliver them to Gong'e who was waiting on the side. Mamma Wang sealed four or two stripes of silver, which counted as honorariums. At the end of the matter, he resigned, and it was still Grandma Wang's daughter who led him out of the inner palace. The fat eunuch was waiting for them by the Jinyu Bridge, and it turned out that the caravan and the sedan were sitting by the lotus pond to rest.
Di Gong changed his seat, and his heart couldn't help but think of the yellow silk of the Third Princess. Obviously, the three princesses hid a lot of true feelings, and deliberately ignored some details. She was sure that the case was committed by someone outside the palace, but the thief must have complicit in the palace, because the thief must know in advance the time and place of the three princesses' moon viewing, and someone even informed him that the three princesses took off the jade bead string and placed it on the coffee table outside the pavilion as usual. If you think about the details a little more, it is likely that the accomplice was hiding somewhere at the anchorage of the command boat and managed to lure the inspector on the wall of the palace away, so that the thief could climb the wall smoothly and boldly commit the theft. Moreover, the fact that the Third Princess chose him alone to investigate the case showed that she was also suspicious of the accomplices of thieves in the palace, so Er repeatedly told him to secretly investigate and not to make a statement. In fact, Lieutenant Zou already knew about this, and as soon as he arrived in this Town of Kiyokawa, he was led by this cunning Lieutenant Zou, which showed that all this was precisely planned. And Zou Xuecai must have been instructed by his Shangfeng Kang Wenxiu, whose position was that of a general in the palace, and it seems that Kang Wenxiu was the big joint in this case.
Di Zhengyi sat in the car to push the case back, and overheard a cheering order outside the car, and the car stopped. A forbidden soldier stepped forward and lifted the curtain: "General Manager Wen has doctor Liang." ”
Di Gongmeng Province, the chief of Wen Dong, was in charge of the internal and external affairs of the Bishui Palace, and his power was second only to that of eunuch Lei, so why not take the opportunity to get to know it.
The forbidden soldiers led Di Gong to the Wen General Administration Hall on the left side of the palace garden. This hall is wrapped in a pink wall, and the courtyard courtyard is full of sycamores and plantains, which are very quiet.
The forbidden soldiers went in to pay their respects and turned back to di gong. Di Gong came into the inner hall and prayed.
"Little Doctor Liang Mo please lord Wen anything."
Mr. Wen has a long body, eagle cheeks, and an indigo complexion. He put down the folded name sticker in his hand, looked fierce, and asked, "How is Grandma Wang's condition?" ”
"Grandma Wang was asthmatic and coughing, the little doctor had prescribed medicine, and after two days she saw a turnaround, and within seven days, she saw Liao when she was sick."
"How is Mamma Wang's face?"
"The small doctor cuts the pulse across the weft and does not need the patient to show his full face, so he has never seen the patient's face."
General Manager Wen nodded, "I think Dr. Liang's clever hand can rejuvenate, hehe." Customary cloud, send the Buddha to the Western Heavens, Grandma Wang has asked you Dr. Liang for consultation, and her illness will have to be supported by you to the end. Do not let the disease be cured, and you will leave it alone and take care of yourself. ”
Di Gong listened, for a while Nahan.
"Dr. Liang can leave the palace, and I have a word here first: Until Grandma Wang's illness is cured, Dr. Liang will not leave Qingchuan Town for the time being."
Di Gong agreed, and Bai Yi withdrew, not feeling that his whole body was sweating. He got back into the car and hurried out of the palace.
The palanquin was carried to the wall of the Bishui Palace, and was waiting to go out to the left ear door, when he suddenly saw a young officer practicing forbidden soldiers on the school grounds, and a long string of large lanterns hung on the flagpole. Riding a red date horse, holding a flag in his hand, it is mighty. The banners of the forbidden army and the queue change the weather and color, and the light and color are dazzling.
Di Gong quietly asked a forbidden soldier, "Isn't that officer General Kang?" ”
The forbidden soldier nodded, and said impatiently, "What does General Kang have to do with you?" Asking in this way, I don't want to sell the medicine in your gourd. ”
Di Gong smiled at it, but in his heart he admired Kang Wenxiu's extraordinary splendor.
Out of the official wall ear door, the palanquin was like flying, and Di Gong only felt the cool breeze penetrate into the palanquin. It was pitch black outside the car curtain, and three or two flashes of fire flashed on the side of the road. At this time, his mind began to calm down, and he pondered the legendary thrilling scenes that had just happened, and his heart was full of doubts. Liang Mo's false identity did not seem to be punctured, but why did the eunuch Lei and The General Manager Wen repeatedly interrogate him, and their words that seemed to be in the clouds and fog and did not have a margin were like knocking on the side, more like a subtle warning. But they let him go easily, and did not point to the right topic of the jade bead string. Could it be that the theft of the string of jade beads is related to them or one of them? Otherwise, why did the Third Princess hide from them and directly give me the great task? However, although the string of jade beads is extremely valuable, such a giant eunuch as Lei Eunuch and Wen Guan may not be salivating, and they dare not risk killing their heads or even torturing them for this string of beads. In the end, they were royal slaves, of course, they did not dare to openly be embarrassed with the three princesses, but it was difficult to ensure that there was no complicated and intricate conspiracy behind the theft of this jade bead string. Although they did not dare to help me in the palace, for fear of taking responsibility, but when I left the Bishui Palace and returned to Cheongcheon Town, would they plan to harm me? Or coerce me into revealing the truth about my meeting with the Three Princesses. Di Gong regretted that he had not taken his Rain Dragon Sword with him when he went out, and thought about it for a moment, if he carried the sword with him, he might cause more trouble. Besides, how can a doctor bring a sword into the palace, and it is also a sudden and funny thing to wear a sword in the town of Kiyokawa, and it will inevitably encounter accidents. Di Zhengyi was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard a sound, and the second palanquin landed on the ground. A sedan in black pants probed in and said, "Sir, you can get out of the car." The road ahead leads straight to the town of Cheongcheon. ”
Di Gong got out of the car and looked around, only to see a lush black pine forest, the moon had burrowed into the clouds, the mountains behind him rose and fell, the leaves of wood were chaotic, and he felt bad in his heart.
"Since this place is not far from Kiyokawa Town, I am bothered to carry me to the Blue Bird Guest House in the town, and the silver is indispensable to you." Di Gong only felt heavy and uneasy.
"Sir self-respecting. The little people were instructed to do what they were told and did not dare to make a mistake. With a whistle, the six sedans lifted the empty sedans like arrows off the strings.
Chapter VII
Di Gong stood in the mountain wind in a daze, he thought that if someone wanted to murder him, he only needed to lay a few crossbowmen here, and if he fled into the pine forest to hide, he would be tripped by the rope and caught alive. - Life and death, only Providence. Thinking of this, I simply slowly went into the pine forest and found a comfortable grass to rest my feet.
Suddenly, a black shadow moved between the pine forests, and then I heard the sound of branches breaking. Di Gong leaned on a large black pine to carefully watch the movements, the black shadow was getting bigger and bigger, and when he fixed his eyes again, it turned out to be an old green donkey eating grass leisurely.
Di Gong walked toward the old green donkey. Leaning against a pair of crutches under a pine tree on his back, Mr. Hulu was napping on a large bluestone on the edge of the pine forest, with his gourd at his feet. Di Gong was surprised and delighted, and was about to go forward to worship, when Mr. Hulu opened his eyes: "Doctor, what did you do in this woods in the dark this night?" ”
"I coveted the cool, and for a moment I was so confused."
"What about your sword?"
"Walking by the moon at night, what is the use of the sword?"
Mr. Hulu snorted and said, "Old Decay will guide you again." You follow my green donkey and walk slowly. He said and put away his crutches and climbed onto the donkey's back.
Di Gong was overjoyed, and a large stone in his heart landed on the ground. Walking with a respected elder like Mr. Hulu, the gangsters may not rush to commit crimes.
The two walked for a while, and Di Gong smiled slightly, "Mr. Hulu, you and I are similar to each other, this medicinal gourd will tie us together." ”
"The doctor's customary relationship is not exhausted, and I am afraid that there are still three disasters and six difficulties." Old decay bumps for no reason, and it can also be regarded as creation. Watch out for someone in front of you! ”
Before the words could be heard, three big men flashed out of the pine forest to block the way. The leader held a sharp blade in one hand and held the reins of the green donkey in the other hand, shouting: "Three old donkeys walk slowly!" ”
Di Gong was furious, and was just about to go forward to fight, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his waist, and a sharp sword had already broken through his robe: "Hugh has to move." The fourth gangster came out of nowhere and ambushed him behind his back.
The four gangsters led Di Gong and Mr. Hulu into a narrow mountain path, around the edge of the pine forest, to a deserted warehouse.
Di Gong and Mr. Hulu were ordered to sit on a bench. Di Gong's eyes widened in anger, suffering from the unarmed blade in his hand; Mr. Hulu sat with his head hanging down, two crutches between his legs, looking at the mercy of the gangsters. The gangster who saw the leader smiled, tried the blade with his finger, and said, "You two listened, and in an instant you will be the ghost under the knife." You and I have no grudges in the past, and we have no enmity today, and we are all receiving money from others, and we dare not disobey our orders. Tomorrow when we arrive in Hades, don't go to Yama and sue us. ”
Di Gong thought to himself that he would die, sighed and sighed, closed his eyes and neck, and stopped speaking. But Mr. Hulu asked, "I just don't know who you were instructed by, coveting money and money, and harming my life." Spit out a name to listen, death is also blind, he does not haunt you with a few of your souls. ”
The leader said, "Old thief slave, Hugh Lo! Before dying, he did not think for himself, asked the east and asked the west, but what did he care about the family name? Just remember that next year today is your death anniversary. ”
Mr. Hulu smiled lightly: "Poor Dao still has a word to ask, or it is better to die to understand." I don't know if the number is a vendetta against me, or if it is dedicated to dealing with this doctor? ”
The thief scolded: "Wronged your old dog to accompany him to martyrdom, still not thankful?" ”
Mr. Hulu asked in surprise, "Who's coming from behind?" ”
The thief turned back in shock, saying that it was too late, it was fast, only to see Mr. Hulu pull out a crutch from between his legs and shake it, and a cold light shot out from the cemetery. It turned out to be a sharp sword with a sheath, and the bamboo sheath fell to the ground, and the blade had pierced into the throat of the thief's head. The thief shouted and fell on his back. Di Gong woke up suddenly, his eyes sharp and fast, and he grabbed the broadsword in his hand and danced towards the three gangsters. Mr. Hulu had shaken out another sword, and the two swords were like a dragon out of the clouds, and the blue light was trembling. The three gangsters were already frightened and looked at each other, their legs and feet were numb, and they were waiting to return to their hands, how could they resist? In just a few rounds, he was stabbed to the ground.
Di Gong stepped forward and stepped on the stomach of a gangster struggling in a pool of blood, and asked in a loud voice, "Say quickly: Which master sent Er waiting?" ”
The gangster rolled his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and tilted his head to die. Looking at those three again, they have long been out of breath, they don't feel sorry, they only hate and are rude, and they haven't left a living mouth to testify in the military village.
When Di Gong looked at Mr. Hulu, he saw that he had already collected his two swords, and was still sitting on a stool with a pair of crutches. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Hulu to have such a trick, so that I could open my eyes." Today's event, if it were not for Sir, would really be a ghost of death. ”
Mr. Hulu said, "You go outside the storeroom door to see what else is going on." Where is this place, the old decay has never been there. ”
Di Gong walked out of the storeroom, and saw that in the dim moonlight, there was a desolate river beach, and there was a row of four or five old warehouses along the dock of the river beach, and Mr. Hulu's green donkey was leisurely grazing behind the last warehouse. The Great Kiyokawa River shines from the waves, and the sound of water is mighty. In the distance, a mast lamp flashed under the floating stack, and a dozen small sampans were moored. Di Gong found that the door of the easternmost warehouse still had faded words left, "Lang Ji Silk Satin Zhuang Zhaoku." Di Gongmeng remembered the Lang Liu, the big treasurer he met in the pond after the Blue Bird Guest. Didn't Zi Qian say that he had a satin shogun in Cheongcheon Town? Just when he hesitated, Mr. Hulu came over in a secret. Di Gong said, "We are now at the eastern end of the Great Qingchuan River Beach, and there are no people around us, so it seems that we have to report this matter to Colonel Zou of the military village." ”
(Yi: pronounce 'righteousness', yi yi: flickering appearance; 趸: integer, whole batch.) ）
"The doctor's opinion is extremely true. But the old man was hungry and tired, and wanted to say goodbye. Sooner or later, there will be a time to meet. If Junzhai were to testify, he would come to me. ”
Di Gong had no choice but to agree, saying, "I still want to search for the four gangsters here, and if there is evidence of a single word, wouldn't it be better?" When the gentleman went to the city, he was troubled to wake up the blacksmith of the blacksmith's shop, asked him to bring my mount here, and promised to give him silver when he came. ”
Mr. Gourd agreed, untied the reins, climbed onto the back of the donkey, and went on his own. Di Gong returned to the storeroom and carefully searched the bodies of the four horizontal corpses, but found nothing, obviously their employers had taken precautions and refused to leave a trace of evidence.
Di Gong sat down and pondered. This conspiracy must have something to do with the string of jade beads of the Three Princesses, and as soon as he came out of the Bishui Palace, he encountered these gangsters in the pine forest, claiming to harm his life and almost harm Mr. Hulu. Suddenly, he remembered the yellow aya given by the Third Princess, and couldn't help but tear the stitches apart and take a closer look. If you don't look at it, you can't help but be surprised when you look at it. It turned out that the yellow aya was not the secret order of the three princesses, but a holy decree of the emperor, embroidered with dragons on all sides, biting head to tail, and the jade seal had been covered. The purpose of the text says: Qin ordered Di Renjie to be a swift reading of Qin Cha, according to the system of establishing festivals, the prefectures and counties he passed, full authority to specialize in military affairs and criminal administration, eliminate malpractice and declare grace, first behead and then play and so on. Di Gong read it carefully and was overjoyed. Looking more closely, only the three words of "Di Renjie" and the signature date are newly filled ink, and the handwriting is silky, which is tied to the woman's handwriting. The heart hunting of this yellow aya holy will must have been pre-prepared by the emperor to be specially given to the three princesses, and in case of urgency, fill in the date of the person's name, and can be promulgated. Now that the three princesses have stolen the string of jade beads and entrusted me with a great responsibility, I should try my best to overcome the difficulties of the people and chase back the national treasure, so as to repay the royal long's favor and trust. Thinking about it again, the emperor was so fond and trusting of the three princesses, and whether there was still a conspiracy to frame the three princesses behind the theft of this jade bead string. Or it may be the joint that solved the case. As I was thinking, I gradually heard the sound of horses' hooves breaking, and I saw the blacksmith leading a horse all the way. Di Gong was overjoyed, went out to drink the blacksmith, rewarded him with one or two pieces of silver, and turned over on his horse while leading the mount, and galloped towards the town of Qingchuan.
Chapter VIII
When Di Gong arrived at the fish market, he saw many people surrounded by streets and alleys, pointing to the west of the town and talking about it. Dozens of soldiers carried lanterns, and the wind and dust servants rushed back to the camp. Followed by hundreds of exhausted Tuanding Minfu, each carrying buckets, wooden ladders, and soaked and smelly sacks and quilts. As soon as he got off the horse and inquired, he knew that the rice warehouse in the west gate of the town of Shicai had caught fire, burning half the sky red, and the military camp immediately dispatched people and horses to fight the fire. Now that the fire has just been extinguished, it has returned.
Di Gong went straight to the army and asked to see Lieutenant Zou. The pawn on duty went in to make a report, and saw Zou Liwei smiling and groaning to welcome him out, and led Di Gong into the hall inside the fort.
Di openly asked, "The subordinate officer wants to ask a character, but he doesn't know if he recognizes it?" ”
"Which person is Di Xianling going to ask?" Zou Liwei was still smiling.
"Lang Da's treasurer, named Lang Liu."
"In this way, Di Xian Ling has indeed entered the port." Although he brokered in Hangzhou City, he was actually the leader of a gang of gangsters, recruiting four-way dry and waterlogged men, and his disciples were all over seven or eight states in Jiangnan Province. Fortunately, his deeds were hidden, and he had not yet openly committed adultery and disturbances and disturbed the place, so he had not violated the prohibition and could not help him. Di Xian lingtou incense burned the true bodhisattva, who was also a god and a man. ”
Di Gong scoffed, "This time it was not I who burned his incense, but he demolished my temple." So he told him in detail how he met Lang Liu in the Qingbird Guest House Tangchi, how he was forced by the gangsters in the pine forest, and how he was almost killed in Lang Liu's storehouse, but he only concealed the section of seeing the three princesses in the Bishui Palace. At the end, he said: "Thinking of the lower officials, this Lang Liu is the most suspicious figure, and it is not certain that the fire in the Ximen Rice Warehouse in the town in the morning was deliberately released by his gang, and the officers and soldiers were all led there, so that I could put my poisonous hands on the side of the Daqingchuan River beach in the east of the town." ”
Zou Liwei realized, scolding one after another: "But I originally made a trap, the sound struck the east and the west, and the end was slippery." I just don't know what Di Xian ling did in the black pine forest late at night. ”
Di Gong was speechless for a moment, and said in a hurry: "The subordinate officer also made a trap to let me drill, and almost sent me to death." The lower officials came to this Kiyokawa town fish turtle was not caught, but it was caught by someone else's golden hook, and it could not break free. ”
Zou Liwei said, "How dare the little colonel deceive Di Xian Ling and drill a trap for Di Xian Ling?" There is a matter that should have been told according to the truth, and the sincerity should be asked for, only because the matter is for no reason, which can be rushed to make a mistake. ”
Di Gong asked, "What is the matter under the foot?" And what do you want? ”
"General Feng Kang, the colonel, has been frowning and worried in recent days, and seems to have an unspeakable person, thinking that there is a change in the palace, and the stakes are at stake. The colonel asked him, and he didn't say anything. The little colonel recognized Di Xian Ling on the dock during the day, and it was really a heavenly helper..."
"So you told General Kang about the coming of the subordinate officer to Qingchuan Town, and recommended the subordinate officer to him, so Er had such a teasing and entertainment." Di Gong was not without anger.
Zou Liwei laughed. Where did Di Xian Ling say this? According to the camp rules, I can only go to the palace early tomorrow morning to discuss the camp affairs to General Kang. The little colonel only saw Di Xian Ling at sunset, where was it so fast? ”
"Even so, you will keep me from him for the time being. By the way, has General Kang ever talked to you about the Three Princesses? ”
Zou Liwei replied, "I have never heard General Kang talk about the Three Princesses. The duties of the small school are in Jing'an, the place of Kiyokawa Town, and the things in the palace walls are not allowed to be passed on as usual, and the small school never asks. Yes, lang liu's matter, what else did Di Xian Ling command? What about the bodies in the storeroom? ”
Lang Liu could not alarm him for the time being, and the lower official had his own draft in his belly, allowing him to tell him in detail every day. The four corpses looked down tomorrow and dispatched a few servants to clean up. Oh, the lower official also told him about it, and it was said that Dai Ning of the Qingbird Guest House had an affair with the Huang clan of the Wei treasurer, and the two secret appointments were made, and the Huang clan went to the Ten Mile Shop to wait in advance. Dai Ning's map added Zhu Mo to the mountain road from Qingchuan Town to Shilipu, which was the clear evidence that he rushed to Shilipu, but unfortunately, he encountered gangsters who cut the path halfway and lost his life. ”
Zou Liwei said, "This matter is also fresh, that Huang Clan is not only a woman with watery Yang Hua, but also another concubine." It is not that the traces of her and Dai Ning were discovered by the concubine, from the ancient road, the rape was close to killing, so Er made a human life. Tomorrow I will send someone to the Ten Mile Shop to inquire about the truth, and I am sure that the Huang clan is having fun with the concubine in the Ten Mile Shop. ”
Di Gong resigned, and Lieutenant Zou was sent all the way to the outside of the military village.
There are few people on the bluestone street, the moon hangs in the sky, and the stars are shaking. Di Gong entered the Qingbird Guest House and first went to the backyard stables to tie up his mount, and then when he entered the store, he saw Wei Treasurer sorting out a coat box under the lamp, which was full of women's shirts and dress ornaments, which was very gorgeous.
"Treasurer Wei, it's so late, still busy." Di Gong said a word of greeting.
Wei Cheng conveniently put a big red multicolored pair of shirts on the back of the chair, a green blue drag mud makeup flower skirt and a pair of gold ju into the box, and said with a dry smile: "These days are busy, and the dresses left by the insiders are not sorted out, and these things can also be sold for dozens of taels of silver." ”
"The Wei treasurer's family is unfortunate, and he has heard a little about it, but he doesn't know who the bold thief is."
Wei Cheng smiled bitterly and sighed, "There must be no doubt that he is a strong man between the mountain beams." If I go to the first complaint, I am sure that one day they will wipe their necks with a knife, set a fire, and burn this guest house. Therefore, I have to endure, where dare I investigate carefully? ”
Di Gong nodded frequently and threw his hands away. When I returned to the room, I felt sleepy and went to sleep.
Chapter IX
This night Di Gong did not sleep well, and in his dreams he followed Mr. Hulu several times, his illusion changed, and he did a strange career. When I woke up in the morning, my heart was much refreshed. Yesterday's series of encounters made him very nervous, he recalled the residual dreams of last night one by one, but slowly produced a strange feeling. He vaguely remembered that Mr. Hulu's face was very familiar, as if he had known him in the past. His outstanding martial arts also revealed the true face of Lushan yesterday, and there was such a high priest hidden in the mountains and forests, and there was always some strange origin. Also, that Zou Liwei can also be regarded as a mysterious figure, and as soon as he arrived in Kiyokawa Town, he was held by these two mysterious figures and walked around. Why did Zou Liwei deny the information that he and Kang Wenxiu communicated, so how did the three princesses who lived in the deep palace know about his arrival? ----------------------------------------------------------- ——It turned out that the Blue Bird Guest House had a human life case in the past two days, and it was chaotic up and down, and the guests' meals were also rested. Di Gong thought that it would be better to go to the nearest Jiuxiao Guest House for breakfast, or to chat with the guests and listen to some rumors about the Bishui Palace.
Di Gong had just stepped into the hall of the Jiuxiao Guest House, and a fat guy greeted him with a smiley face and asked the guests what to eat early and whether they could make tea. Di Gong first asked for a pot of Taihu Biluochun and asked what was delicious.
The fat guy said: "Officer, the front of the small shop is inconspicuous, but there are several kinds of delicious food, fine stuffed steamed bread, white sugar diamond horn, and a kind of heavy oil bean paste dumplings are the most famous points in this Town of Kiyokawa, and past non-commissioned officers and merchants are famous to taste as usual." When the guest officer wants to eat, the small one will be served over. ”
(Steamed bread: An ancient round, stuffed, fried or boiled pasta.) 馉飿: Pronounce 'Ancient Stack')
Di Gong nodded in approval and slowly took a sip of tea in his mouth to taste it. A plate of dumplings was served, and the fat guy put a towel on his shoulder and put it on his shoulder to talk, wanting to offer hospitality.
Di Gong took a bite of the dumplings, only to feel very moist and moist, but it was too sweet and greasy, and his mouth was even praised, saying: "Regret should not live in the blue bird guest house on the opposite street, there is no tranquility in the chaos, these two days simply cut off the cooking, only to come here to eat breakfast by myself." ”
"That's what the guest officer said." The fat guy smiled flatteringly. "The inn is only because the treasurer's heart is not good, everywhere is buckled, and there is little popularity." These two days have killed an accounting room, but is it not more noisy? Reasoning, small should not be counted against them, are all on a shovel of soil, epileptic toads do not bite to promote weaving. It's just that the Wei treasurer is also too stingy, behaves in the world, and is mean. Even Lady Wei was very pitiful, no wonder she had to run with the wild man. You think, sometimes she can't eat enough, and when she comes here on three or five days, we will send a few dumplings to eat with her. She escaped one day, and came here in the morning to buy four dumplings, probably prepared for food on the road. ”
Di Gong saw the opportunity and asked, "Do you know who that wild man is and where he lives?" ”
The fat guy blinked, shook his head, and said, "This can be hidden seamlessly, there is no shadow left, the small one can know." ”
"I heard that the Huang clan and the accounting room Dai Ning also had a head and tail, and only one of them was hidden from the Wei treasurer." Could it be that they agreed to flee one after another, Dai Ning took a step back, and was killed by a strongman halfway through. ”
The guest officer guessed the same thing, but Dai Ning was honest and honest, did not smile, and blindly worked hard. At the age of thirty, he had not yet married a wife, and it was a contract to make a pair with Lady Wei. I saw that Lady Wei was in a hurry, and I also summed it up with him, and I didn't know what I had done in the past two times. ”
The fat guy blinked, grimaced, and smiled to deal with the other guests.
After Di Gong finished eating the four dumplings, he suddenly saw Zi Qian standing across the street nodding to himself, while still sniffing melon seeds. Today, I saw her with a loose bun, wearing a carmine shirt, a black silk ribbon tied around her waist, and a pair of heavenly feet with green embroidered shoes, so that she looked like an elf and alert. He also holds two shade hats in his hand.
Di Gong hurried out of the Jiuxiao Guest House, and Zi Qian greeted him with a smile: "Dr. Liang, today we will go fishing in the Great Qingchuan." - Didn't you say it was decided yesterday? ”
Di Gong realized and smiled, "Or, or maybe I'll change my clothes." ”
"There is no need to change new shirts, in the river beach, isn't it dirty to rub a few rubbings?" Who washes? "Zi Qian is very old.
Di Gong agreed, so he followed Zi Qian through the small street of the fish market, folded through an alley, and came straight down the river beach. In a few moments, I saw the sparkling Kiyokawa. On a sunny day today, there is no cloud, and the sun has been obliquely out of the water. Di Gong saw that there were more than a dozen sampans moored in the inlet of the river beach. Most of the sampans here are for excursions, fishing, and ferry rides.
Zi Qian jumped on a small sampan in the middle, untied the cable, and reflexively greeted Di Gong. Di Gong also jumped on the sampan and saw that the boat had already prepared fishing rods, moth pots and bamboo baskets.
"Miss Zi Qian, I have heard that there is a bishui palace at the end of the Great Qingchuan River, which is very gorgeous, just like the Qionglou Yuyu in the sky. This Kiyokawa town has a saying that 'if you don't go to the bishui official, it will be an empty space' - I don't know if we can row a boat there today. ”
"What's so hard about that? We paddled along the riverbank to the west, and then we came to the outside of the walls of the Bishui Palace. Then go around to the center of the river and fold the remnants of the north end, which is a good place for fishing. ”
Zi Qian whistled, rowed the oars, and the sampan floated leisurely up the river. The sun shines on the water, crystal clear, and from time to time you can see bold fish swinging their tails on the side of the boat. The green willows on both sides of the river are shaded, and the wildflowers are hidden, covering the three-three-two bamboo hedge people's homes, and the scenery is like a picture. Zi Qian put on the bucket and handed the other top to Di Gong. Di Zhengzheng's bitter sun was hot and sparkling, and he quickly put on the bucket and tied the knot. Looking up in the distance, you can see a beautiful palace towering on the shore, and the red walls and blue tiles are particularly bright and dazzling in the daylight. Outside the palace, there are more than ten meters of palace walls standing upright on the water, and the pheasants on the wall flash with shiny spears and red wisps on the top of the helmet.
"If you draw closer, you can look more meticulous." Di Gong urged.
"You're not going to die!" There's a wooden sign there, you didn't see it? Paddling closer, I accidentally broke into the forbidden area, where the forbidden soldiers on the palace wall immediately fired arrows. "Zi Qian stopped the sampan with that." Just look at it from a distance here, and we'll have to hurry to the remnants of the alum fishing mile. ”
"Miss Zi Qian, let's row around the palace walls for a week, and we will not be able to afford to come here." This Blue Water Palace is truly magnificent. ”
Zi Qian took up the oar and slowly circled around the palace wall far outside the water of the Forbidden City. Di Gong carefully observed the arched water gate under the walls of the Bishui Fugong. - The Water Gate communicates with the royal ditch and lotus pond in the palace. When the sampan went around the corner of the northwest palace wall, Di Gong finally saw the pavilion on top of the palace wall suddenly bursting out with a flying momentum. The pavilion is octagonal in shape, with carved columns, jagged green tiles, and the sound of the wind under the eight-sided cornice. Di Gong saw that there was a water gate under the pavilion, embedded in the palace walls. Half of the water gate is exposed to the river surface, and it is fixed by an iron fence. He speculated that if someone took advantage of the forbidden soldiers on the palace wall and did not prepare for it, and secretly docked around the palace wall in the dark night, then climbed the arched wall of the water gate empty- and then climbed along the uneven brick cracks of the palace wall, climbing the wild grass thorn vines, it would not be difficult to climb the palace wall and sneak into the pavilion. It can be said that the thieves climbed into the pavilion along this path. The three princesses were not prepared to steal the string of jade beads.
Di Gong was silent, thinking about how the thief knew the time of the Moon Viewing In the Pavilion of the Three Princesses and the habit of picking off the jade bead string. ——From driving a boat waiting for an opportunity to lurking in the pavilion to stealing in the middle, it must be meticulous and uncomfortably connected, and there is no room for half a point difference. One ring is lost, and the whole situation is defeated. Ordinary thieves do not dare to move this mind easily, and it is useless to move, there is no internal strategy, and there is no hope of success.
"Dr. Liang's god is not guarding the house, is it not crazy to wait for the Third Princess to come up to the pavilion and meet you?" Zi Qian teased.
(觌: Read 'Flute', see, meet.) ）
Di Gong woke up from a dream and laughed, "Let's paddle away from the remnants of the alum fishing." ”
Zi Qian responded with a sound, adjusted the bow of the boat to move towards the heart of the river, and flew as if to play a double oar. Whiskers boats to the remnants of the rocks.
Di Gong straightened the silk, lowered the fishing rod, and crouched at the stern of the boat like an old fisherman. At this moment, however, it is not intended to be fish. Zi Qian looked at Di Gong coldly, and also absentmindedly lowered a fishing hook.
Di Gong looked back at Zi Qian and asked, "I heard that Wei Is a mean person, your aunt's life is quite difficult, her hands are tight, and sometimes she can't even eat enough to eat, but is there such a thing?" ”
Zi Qian pouted, "My uncle only loves it except for silver, and never asks his aunt about her physiology." After the aunt passed through the door, she never saw any dresses and jewelry for her. However, Brother Dai Ning had a heart, and from time to time secretly gave his aunt a few silver coins to spend. Last month, I also made a set of fashionable shirts and skirts for her tailoring, remembering that the shirt was a big red multicolored sleeve pair, and the Luo skirt did not look real. My aunt didn't like it, so she kept it in a box and was reluctant to wear it. Once I heard Dai Ningge say that he was also preparing to make a pair of gold bracelets for his aunt. ”
"Where did Dai Ning get so much money, enough for him to swing so menglang." Di Gong asked.
"He gambles."
"He bet he can win?"
"Win a lot."
"Who does he gamble with?"
"I've gambled with Lang Liu several times."
"Can he bet on that Lang Grand Treasurer?"
"Won. However, I think that the surname Lang's multi-point is deliberately losing money to him, and slowly luring him to the bait. A while ago, Dai Ning went to find Lang Liu when he had free time, and the two were very speculative. ”
"Miss Zi Qian, there is a row of old warehouses behind the river beach where you parked this boat, and you can see lang's big treasurer's cargo ships coming and going to the warehouse to pile up goods on weekdays?"
"Those old warehouses have long been abandoned, and Lang Liu's cargo ships have not been seen coming to and from the river beach for a long time." - How do you ask these boundless dry words, how much scenery. Zi Qian deliberately pushed.
Di Gong received the fishing rod several times, but he didn't see the fish hooked, and he was not in a hurry. At this time, a new idea suddenly floated in his mind: Will that row of old warehouses be related to the Bishui Palace? Moreover, why did Dai Ning suffer such cruel torture before he died.
"Miss Zi Qian, why don't the fish want to take the bait?" It is possible that he deliberately avoided us, and it seems that today we have to return empty-handed. But I had a good time, and it was a rare good weather. Go back, this is going to be a tailwind, it would have been too hot. ”
Although Zi Qian was not full of fun, her heart was already very impressed with Di Gong. Hearing Di Gong say this, he immediately returned to the paddle and returned. While secretly speculating, this Dr. Liang in front of him, Ji Yu Xuan Ang, Feng Cai was abnormal, I am afraid that he is not an ordinary person, but he does not know whether he has a wife and concubine in his family. When he was thinking about it, he suddenly remembered something and said, "When I was sweeping the room this morning, I saw that Dai Ning's clothes were churned very messily, which must have been caused by my uncle secretly searching for silver." He was a man who recognized only possessions, did not pay attention to faith, and did not have the slightest human touch. Now that my sister-in-law is gone again, I really don't know who I will rely on in the future. Two lines of tears came down.
Di Gong was compassionate, comforted her a few words, and said, "Come, let me scratch a few times." He took the paddle board from Zi Qian's hand and pulled up the water with force. Only to feel that the sampan is dangling east and west, and it can be turned on one side, almost turning over. Zi Qian laughed out loud, "Let me paddle it, otherwise I will fall into the river, but it is not play." I have this paddle board, except for Brother Dai Ning, no one can move it. ”
Chapter X
The sampan docked, And Di Gong and Zi Qian went up to the river beach and deliberately walked around the row of "Lang Ji" old warehouses. At this time, Di Gong had an idea in his heart--he rushed straight in, avoiding many twists and turns. Before his death, Dai Ning was poisoned by cruel tea, and after his death, the room was searched again, presumably because the gangsters wanted to find some treasure from him, or asked him to spit out the treasure hidden. Could this treasure be a string of jade beads? Dai Ning Ning died without vomiting, and if he was mutilated, he did not know whose hands the treasure had now passed. While she was thinking about it, Zi Qian said that she wanted to go to the fish market to buy some vegetables, vegetables, fish and shrimp, so she left first. Di Gong hurriedly stepped forward and radially came to the Blue Bird Guest House.
Arriving at the Blue Bird Guest House, Di Gong went straight to Lang Liu's West Hall room. When I reached the head of the door, I was stopped by two big men. Di Gong handed over the name post and said that he wanted to see Lang Da' treasurer. During the negotiation, Lang Liu's voice came from the room: "Is it Dr. Liang Mo?" Let him in. ”
Di Gong pushed the door in, gave his hand, and saw that Lang Liu was planning business with his accounting office. Lang Liu hurriedly returned the salute, ordered the accounting room to prepare tea, and sat down twice. The tent room offers a cup of tea and respectfully stands next to it.
Di Gong's face was blue, and he said sharply, "Lang Da's treasurer wanted to kill me for no reason, but why?" ”
Lang Liu asked in surprise, "Why did you say this?" My lang someone once wanted to harm Xiang Gong's life. ”
"Last night, a few of your servants kidnapped me to the old warehouse on the river beach, and used their swords and swords, but lang really didn't know?"
The accounting room changed its face, and whispered in Lang Liu's ear, "I just came to report the letter in the morning." There was blood all over the place, and four people died, but they didn't recognize it. It turned out to be this one, but it was Tu Lai. ”
Di Gong only pretended not to hear, and drank: "Lang Treasurer is not keeping the faith of the jianghu!" Hangzhou Grand Pier to go, your world. But in this town of Kiyokawa, there are thirty-six temples and seventy-two bodhisattvas, and who can conceal your deeds? ”
Although He had never seen Di Gong in the Nine Streams of the Lang Liu Three Sects, today he saw him so heroic and strong, his words were straight, he was a little timid early, and he did not know the bottom, who dared to scribble.
"I don't know what Dr. Liang has seen and taught here, the monk faces the Buddha, takes a look at it, and burns incense all year round in the future."
Di Gong said, "I was just a pawn in the next place, sent by someone, and there were words to be told." Lang Da treasurer cai caixi, we understand in our hearts. A few days ago, I heard that you picked up a bunch of Rausch seeds in another life, and it was plain and bad for his life. Of course, this matter is not easy to say broken, but ask the Lang Grand Treasurer to raise his noble hand and give up half of it. Eighty-four and forty-two, from then on they recognized their brothers, and they were at peace with each other, and they never had a vendetta. ”
Lang Liuqing was furious, his eyes were on fire, but he didn't squeak. After a long sigh, he looked at Di Gong again, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "The number is good, Sun Xinger can't jump like a hand, I'll tell you the truth, that housheng did something." I didn't get a single bead! ”
Di Gong suddenly stood up: "Lang Da's treasurer is so deceitful, he didn't surrender his words, and his brother resigned." Today there is no light on the buddha's face, and in the future we will not be able to complain about our ruthless face. ”
Lang Liu smiled and said, "The meeting will walk slowly, allow me to tell the end in detail, so as to convey it." Seven days ago, a tooth merchant who sold raw silk came to see me, claiming to be surnamed Huo, and asked for a deal. Annoyed that I was looking for a watery one, I rode a boat to the pavilion of the Bishui Palace in the dark night and stole a string of beads, exactly eighty-four, and promised to give ten gold ingots when the matter was completed. I wanted to ask in detail, but Na Ya Only said that there was an acquaintance of the Beijing Master who planned this matter, and he was stable and did not show any traces. We then recommended the accounting room of this blue bird guest house, Dai Ning, this great Qingchuan up and down thirty miles, a beach and a song he closed his eyes can point to, come and go the line straight as a courtyard closed step. ”
"Then where is Dai Ning willing to promise to go to the Bishui Palace to steal in the dark night?" I plotted again to lure him to lose money. At first it was only intentional to lose to him. When he won the money, he went to honor Wei Cheng's wife, and his eyebrows went back and forth for a long time. That Dai Ning won money several times in a row, his heart was very happy, his hands and feet were also big, and he slowly took the bait and couldn't get rid of it. At the end of the day, I told him to lose alive, and I borrowed money from him and gambled again, and then I lost, and I saw that he owed me fifty taels, and I lured him to the Bishui Palace to steal the beads. Out of desperation, he had to agree. When I stole it, I not only sold the fifty taels of silver owed, but I also gave another twenty-two silver gifts, which was considered a transaction. ”
Di Gong chased after him, "Not to mention how he stole it, this has nothing to do with me, only that he stole the bead." ”
"I think he stole it." On that day, it was agreed that after he stole the beads, he would come to the storehouse on the river beach overnight to meet with me and hand them over in person. Seeing the appointed hour, and not seeing his shadow, I hurriedly ordered the people to go on a quest until noon the next day when we met him at a mountain pass, and he was humming a little song and going to the mountain. When he asked him about the beads, he only said that he had not stolen them, and his teeth were very tight. ”
He said that night he drove a boat to the Bishui Palace to climb the palace wall, and all the way was very smooth. The third princess did not prepare him to sneak into the pavilion and hide outside the bar. To be looked at carefully. There were no beads on the coffee table. The tooth servant surnamed Huo said that the third princess appreciating the moon would definitely take off the string of beads and put it on the coffee table, and he would arrange the color and color to be fixed, and he would catch eight or nine times, just waiting for Dai Ning to reach out and take it. Listening to Dai Ning's lies, I am nameless and tall, where can I believe it? The drinking order bundle turned over the cross-examination. Who knew that Dai Ning was unwilling to confess to the truth, and he started to move the stick for a while, but he didn't expect Dai Ning to be a paper paste, and he didn't hit it a few times, and he was out of breath. We had to hastily tie Dai Ning's dead body to a large stone and push down the Great Qingchuan River and sink. Who knew that the stones were not tightened in a hurry, and as soon as the waves hit, they were loosened, and the dead bodies floated up again, stirring up the town of Kiyokawa and reporting to the military village. Junzhai sent people to carry them to collect the house, waiting for inspection, and I secretly sent people to search for Dai Ning's room, where is the trace of the beads? At this point, I thought that I was obscure, and I didn't go looking for the tooth servant again, and it was over. ”
Di Gong listened and sighed, should he have believed Lang Liu's words? Very sorry. He asked, "Where does the tooth servant live now?" ”
Lang Liu shook his head, "I didn't recognize him before, and I didn't know his whereabouts." I'm afraid it's not a local, and I haven't seen him looking for me in the past two days. ”
Di Gong stood up and resigned. "How can you not believe the words of Lang Da's treasurer?" At this point, I am afraid that there is no way, and in two days I will go to the master of the house to explain the beginning and the end. Here I have a few official affairs that I still have to take care of, and I feel that I have accepted hospitality, which is very disturbing, and I am glad to beg for forgiveness. He said "noisy" and flew away.
Chapter XI
Di Gong returned to the upstairs room and slowly tasted a pot of tea, at this time he felt a big stone fall in his heart. Lang Liu's words sounded untrue, as if there were no flaws, and the theft of the jade bead string had begun to have an eyebrow. Although the tooth servant surnamed Huo would never go looking for Lang Liu again, would he search for the string of beads by himself? Or maybe he's got the beads. What is the use of this string of jade beads that he wants to go to? I am afraid that it will not be for money, and this tooth servant will inevitably be involved in the conspiracy to frame the three princesses. Who would be the acquaintance of Kyoshi he was talking about? Could it be the people in the Bishui Palace? Otherwise, why say that planning this matter is ten to nine and not showing signs. Besides, did Dai Ning get the beads? Since Dai Ning had sneaked into the pavilion that night, and the jade bead string had also been stolen, Dai Ning had stolen the jade bead string. The reason why he did not give the jade bead string to Lang Liu was when there were two possibilities: First, the Naga Servant sent someone to intercept him in the middle of the road and exchange the gold ingot for the jade bead string, which bypassed Lang Liu and omitted a joint. Second, Dai Ning hid himself—not back to the Blue Bird Inn but buried in the road from BishuiGong to Qingchuan Town, in pine forests, by the river beach, or in wild graves. After surviving Lang Liu's interrogation, he went to excavate after the incident, and took him to Shilipu to share a happy life with Wei Huangshi.
Now it seems that the gangsters who sniped at him and Mr. Hulu last night were not Lang Liu's subordinates, but it was probably sent by Naga. ——Could it be that he went to the Bishui Palace to meet the Three Princesses and was secretly detected, and immediately took action to plot and snipe? Where is the acquaintance of Kyoshi who is not in the Bishui Palace? If he did not succeed in his plan and broke four lives in vain, he would not be willing to give up, and he would surely design to assassinate himself. You have to be careful everywhere and be defensive step by step. While thinking about it, he overheard someone knocking on the door, and Di Gong alertly drew his sword and swept it to the door, listening to the movement, and slowly pulled the latch.
But the person who came was Lang Liu's accounting room.
"Lang Da's treasurer asked Xianggongdian to talk, he just received a letter." The accounting room is a way to go.
Di Gong placed his sword on the round table. Agreed to make the envoy close the door and follow the accounting room down to the store.
Lang Liu was already waiting in the shop hall, and when he saw Di Gong come downstairs, he hurriedly drew a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Di Gong: "The messenger threw the letter into my room and sneaked away." ”
Di Gong opened the letter, it was actually the handiwork of Na Ya, saying that he had not been able to discuss the purchase of raw silk with lang as scheduled, and he deeply regretted that the letter was about Lang Liu going to the storehouse by the river beach at dusk today to discuss the goods.
Di Gong said, "I was just about to meet this Mr. Tooth Servant." ”
"I didn't get the beads, how do I get them?" Isn't he going to 'negotiate the proof'? Forget it, let him go empty, I won't go to see him. Lang Liu said.
"Lang Treasurer's words are bad, the surname Huo, he came with gold ingots with you, you still don't want it?"
What do you mean by that? - I can't get the beads, how do I collect his gold? Lang Liu was puzzled.
"Lang is also too honest." Di Gong said. "When he went to see the face of the man, he asked if the gold ingot had been brought, and if he said that he had brought it, he would accept it as usual. He was about to look at the beads, and the man who told him of ours had misread his instructions and was almost held by the palace guards. Although you can't get the beads, but risk your life to do it, can you not pay the reward? ”
Lang Liu was anxious: "Isn't this cheating him of gold?" Can he rest? ”
"If you deceive him, you deceive him, so what?" This man must have plotted against him. You said what was the use of stealing the string of beads, and if you raised his voice, you grabbed him to see the official, and first went to the military tournament to accuse him of plotting against him and designing the theft of national treasures. How can he bear to be guilty. If he had already relied on you when he understood people, and Bai had given you gold ingots to count, he would have a seizure, and whose face would he have? It's not good for him. ”
Lang Liu listened and was overjoyed: "My God! Good plan. When you get the gold, you and I will tear it down from north to south. My accounting office went with you, and the last contract was also his appearance, and the teeth were known, and it was not strange. ”
Di Gong said, "Lang First sent someone to secretly control the area around the warehouse, which was airtight, and he was not afraid that Mr. Ya snob would fly with his wings." ”
Lang Liu sighed: "Liang Xianggong is the world's master, linfeng among people, see each other and hate late, and come for a long time." --------------------------------- ”
Chapter XII
Di Gong decided to go to the military village immediately to see Lieutenant Zou. He went back to the room to get the medicine box and gourd, and just after leaving the Blue Bird Guest House, he saw Zi Qian standing at the head of the door idling with an old woman who sold rouge lead powder. When she saw Di Gong, she adjusted to him and stretched out an arm to stop him.
"Dr. Liang, look at this ivory comb." He said and raised his hand to insert it between his sideburns.
Di Gong even boasted well, and was trying to send Zi Qian, Zi Qian whispered. "Keep an eye out for the two people across the street—you've been waiting there for half a day after asking where you live."
Di Gong glanced at it, and there were two tall men standing at the door of the Jiuxiao Guest House across the street, wearing satin lantern pants, tight belts, hemp shoes and legs, and a short fast hand outfit. If you think that the person who comes is not good, you must be careful and watchful. He winked at Zi Qian, which was a thank you, and swung up into the street.
The two men did not come forward to talk, but just crept up and followed. Di Gong's steps were fast and slow, and he tried to get rid of them several times, but the two were the middle masters who just followed closely and did not let go.
Looking close to the gate of the military village, Di Gong looked up and saw that Liu Bing Cao led a team of patrols over. He was in a hurry and wanted to slow down, but when the next two men stepped forward, he turned back sharply and shouted: "There is a thief: there is a thief!" "While reaching out and grabbing the sleeve of a man in front of him." This is a bold, blue sky and daylight, stealing my silver. ”
The incident happened in a hurry, the man was feeling ignorant, waiting to make sex use force, Liu BingCao had arrived, and asked urgently. Seeing that it was Dr. Liang shouting to catch the thief, he knew something strange in his heart, and he shouted, "Take all these few to the military village to listen to the question." The two men sneered at each other with pride, but they did not distinguish between them, and followed Liu Bingcao into the gate of the military village.
Lieutenant Zou Sat down and saw Liu Bingcao escort Di Gong and a cadre into the hall, Liu Bingcao went forward and whispered a few words, knowing that there was a difference, but opened his mouth: "What a livelihood you two are, how dare you boldly steal in the street market." ”
The man shouted, "We are the brocade of the Bishui official, and we were ordered to escort this charlatan to the palace. Saying that, he pulled out a yellow knot from his arms and flashed in front of Zou Liwei.
Of course, Zou Liwei recognized the rune letter of the Palace Jinyi's transmission, and did not dare to ask for a closer examination, but he had the heart to protect Di Gong and deliberately maneuvered.
"The military village has its own military orders, and without the orders of General Kang, it is not allowed to arrest people in the camp." The two of them had to take someone, but they rushed to the palace to get General Kang's warrant, and I will take this person here for the time being and wait for him to return. Zou Liwei's speech was not profane or humble, and he had his own urgency.
The two jinyi were also inconvenient to stubbornly, so they had to resign from the camp and drive back to the palace to take general Kang's warrant.
Zou Liwei took a look at Di Gong and said seriously, "Di Xian Ling really rolled in, we must beware of those eunuchs in the Bishui officials, we don't dare to provoke right and wrong." ”
Di Gong hurriedly informed Zou Liwei of his dealings with Lang Liu and Dai Ning's hired robbery of the jade bead string and his death in detail, and then said that he had to rush to the river beach warehouse at the time of the unitary card, asking Zou Liwei to allocate fifty or sixty military jian to the river beach warehouse to ambush him, and tonight he would pull a net and surround the slaves of the tooth servant and Lang Liu, take them all, and track out the origin of the pearl theft case and the whereabouts of the jade bead string.
Zou Liwei smiled and promised, urging Di Gong to leave the military village at this moment. When the two Jinyi came to ask, they only said that they had accidentally escaped, and there was nothing they could do. He didn't dare to attack and didn't look at General Kang's face at all.
Di Gong asked Lieutenant Zou to find him a green donkey and two crutches, and he disguised himself as Mr. Hulu, just to cover everyone's eyes. Zou Liwei agreed. Liu Bingcao was instructed to prepare. Cao Xin, a soldier of The Willow Army, came over on an old donkey and handed two thin bamboo reeds as crutches to Di Gong. Di Gong thanked him, rode a donkey without hurrying and slowly walked out of the gate and turned towards the Blue Bird Guest House. -- First, the two brocades went to the military village and disappeared him, thinking that if they fled from the dock, they would not come back to the Blue Bird Guest House to search; second, he found an old shed behind the fence of the stables in the backyard of the guest house, which was very hidden, just to perch, and at the moment before the mention of the unitary card, he rushed to the river beach warehouse with his sword.
Chapter XIII
Di Gong rode the donkey all the way around to the vegetable garden behind the Blue Bird Guest House, tied the green donkey under a willow, and then turned over into the wall and jumped right on the edge of the shed. A broken fence separated them, and there was no sound in the stables. Di Gong drilled through the fence to see the movement, and when nothing happened, he went to push open the door of the shed, found a hidden corner, moved over an old wooden cabinet to cover the partition, and lay down. I took a day of broken sacks and covered them closely.
It was hot and the smell of mold in the shed was bad, and Di Gong slept carelessly, only to feel that his whole body was itchy. When he rolled over, it was a bunch of ants crawling around his neck. To look closely, it turned out that the broken sack was crawling with ants, and there were a few green flies buzzing non-stop. He picked up the sack and sniffed it close to his nose, it seemed to have a fishy smell, and the stars were dotted with stone dust, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. He was about to remove the old wooden cabinet to examine it carefully, but he saw the lights coming through the stables, and he could hear the gardener picking vegetables walking around. He was afraid that the old donkey had slipped away, so he quickly walked out of the shed, climbed over the wall, went to the willow in the east corner of the vegetable garden to untie the rope, led the old donkey and left.
The shops in the market were all lit up, and when it was about the hour of Mo Youpai, Di Gong rode the old donkey and hurried to the river beach. In no time, I saw the Great Kiyokawa, the moon was obscured by indigo evening clouds, the stars of fishing fires flickered in the dark water, the tide hit, the bats flew around, and the scene was desolate and terrible. The river beach is dark and dark, and the warehouses are silent. Di Gong got off the donkey and slowly touched the first warehouse in the tail.
(阒: pronounce 'go', silence; 燠: pronounce 'jade'; 燠熱: sweltering heat.) ）
Suddenly, a voice came from behind an ancient tree: "Dr. Liang is late, we have been waiting for a long time, and the tooth servant has not yet come." ”
Di Gong saw a big man crouching high on a branch, carrying a shiny three-bladed knife in one hand. The tent room turned out from behind the trunk of the tree and offered an arch of his hand: "This ghost place is really creepy." Saying that, he led Di Gong into the storeroom.
Di Gong looked at him with disdain and said, "Afraid that Dai Ning's soul will haunt you?" ”
The accounting room's voice trembled: "Although I interrogated him that day, it was those fools who did it, and their hands were not heavy, and they bid for his life." ”
Di Gong said, "Hugh Ti Dai Ning, and see if the tooth servant is coming." ”
The accounting room looked at the sky: "The unitary card has been handed over early, and this time it is possible to break the appointment again." The tooth servant is extremely cunning, and the end is a mysterious and unobtrusive figure. ”
Di Gongmeng punched the table: "That tooth servant will not come!" We fooled him. Saying that, he ran out of the warehouse and whistled, and suddenly the military jian who was surrounded by black pressure was Captain Zou.
Lang Liu's slaves were captured one after another, and Di Gong tied up the accounting room and handed it over to Lieutenant Zou: "This person is the main culprit who killed Dai Ning, and he is immediately taken to the military camp for detailed interrogation." The surname Huo did not show his face, and the thought must have been tricked, and we had to go back to the Blue Bird Guest House quickly. ”
Di Gong mounted a tall horse and turned to gallop towards the road, and Zou Liwei personally led four junjian horses and weapons to follow closely.
Liu Bingcao took a dozen or so evil slaves of Lang Liu who had been arrested, using a long chain of iron ropes as a line, and slowly returned to the military village.
Di Gong suddenly turned back and said loudly, "Liu Bingcao, don't forget your old green donkey behind the storeroom." ”
Chapter XIV
Wei Cheng sat on the ledger and counted the accounts. After Dai Ning's death, he did not hire anyone. He was carrying the copper money in an iron box into the sleeve of his robe, when he suddenly saw Di Gong and the four or five horsemen driving directly to the door of the guest house, and hurriedly came down to the tent to meet it.
"Is it time for a guest to visit Lang's treasurer?" Di Gong asked urgently.
Wei Cheng shook his head blindly, gagged, and couldn't make a sound.
Di Gong quickly rushed to the first room where Lang Liu lived in the West Hall. The door latched, and there was no sound in the room. Zou Liwei knocked on the door a few times, but when he didn't agree, the mission junjian bumped open. The two military men shouted and knocked the door down. The boxes in the room were overturned and cluttered, and the ceiling panels and four carved walls were pried through. Di Gong suddenly saw Lang Liu hanging upside down behind the mirror, and a blood-stained square silk scarf wrapped around his head. Zou Liwei couldn't help but scold. Di would lean forward and untie the square scarf, and the blood would immediately rush down and splash around. He touched Lang Liu's chest, there was still a trace of warmth, and his pulse was long gone. I couldn't help but look miserable and cried bitterly in my heart.
Carrying Lang Liu's body back to the military village, he was careless and remorseful. The gang of gangsters must have infiltrated the guest house from the back door of the garden, and they agreed to meet lang Liu's people at the river beach at the time of the unitary card, which turned out to be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Lang Liu's servants must have the treacherous spies of the tooth servant, and the tooth servant listened to the detailed report and learned that Dai Ning had not handed over the beads and was forced to die, so he refused to show up to see Lang Liu. Afterwards, he suspected that Lang Liu and Dai Ning had made two secret businesses, and did something, and Dai Ning had already given the beads to Lang Liu in the shadows, but Mingzhong pretended not to have stolen them. - Lang Liu killed Dai Ning in order to extinguish his mouth, not only regaining the reward given to Dai Ning, but also monopolizing the beads, and hiding from the servants, and confusing him. Gu Erya decided to take someone to suddenly break into the Blue Bird Guest House, directly interrogate Lang Liu, and snatch the beads. Di Gong analyzed the reasons and judged them one by one.
Zou Licheng asked, "I don't know if the surname Huo is looking for a string of beads?" ”
"They can't find the beads here." Di Gong pondered for a moment and then said, "Lang Liu has not been able to see the bead string, where to do things with Dai Ning?" If Dai Ning had already given the beads to Lang Liu, and Lang Liu intended to kill him with one blow, why torture him so much. ”
The bodies of the two military generals Lang Liu were covered with sheets and carried out of the guest room, and Di Gong only felt confused. Lang Liu's death also cut off Dai Ning's information, losing Lang Liu and Dai Ning, but where to find the string of beads?
Zou Liwei suddenly said, "Oh, there is still one thing that I almost forgot." The people I sent to the Ten Mile Shop returned, and after investigation, Wei Huangshi had never been there. ”
Di Gong nodded without a squeak. He felt sleepy all around him, and the six gods were in a trance. The case was far from easy and simple— and the road that could be taken was almost broken.
(惝: Read 'field'; trance: frustrated, unpleasant.) ）
"After I left the barracks, how did those two brocades in the palace let you go?" Di Gong asked absently.
"Officer Liu bing arranged a fake scene of escape, and there was no flaw. The two jinyi did not hold General Kang's warrant, and they had to push the boat along the water, which was inconvenient. ”
Di Gong smiled slightly, "So good, tonight I want to get a good night's sleep, and you should go back to the barracks." By the way, leave a few soldiers in the shop to check the guest register, and if there are any clues, I will try to inform you. ”
Di Gong returned to the room, drank a pot of hot tea, only to feel the fragrance, refreshing the heart, and then calmed down to recall the legendary plot of the past two days, carefully and carefully recalling. Obviously, the biggest joint in the case is the jade bead string of the three princesses. The Three Princesses are the jewels in the palm of today's saints, who are pampered and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world. But she was very lonely, her information was closed, and the only person she could trust around her was probably Grandma Wang. And the people who want to harm her are very sinister and vicious, and they have deliberately set up a secret plan. They are well aware of the urgency of this jade bead string, tomorrow afternoon the three princesses will return to the capital, the theft of the jade bead string is afraid of the suspicion of the saint, this suspicion may affect the marriage prospects of the three princesses. In case the Saint did not know the inside story and the judgment was improper, the situation of the Three Princesses was deeply worrying. The miscreants used this trick to achieve their despicable goals, and the good and pure Three Princesses had entrusted her future and life to me, and now I must do my best to regain the jade bead string as soon as possible and lift the Three Princesses' burning doom.
Judging from the greedy cruelty and open strife and secret struggle of The Nagarjun and Lang Liu gangs, the jade bead string had not yet fallen into their hands. Dai Ning stole the string of jade beads, bent on only offering courtesy to Wei Huangshi, he hid the beads, but he himself was killed by Lang Liu. Now the first thing to do is to find out where the Dai Ning Hidden Pearl is. Imagine what Dai Ning would do to prevent him from stealing the bead that night, and where could he possibly hide the bead? At present, I have to take advantage of the fact that the jade bead string case has not yet been revealed, secretly find out where Dai Ning's hidden ball is, preemptively retrieve the bead, and return the three princesses before noon tomorrow, and the rest of the arrest of the criminals is insignificant.
Di Gong suddenly had an idea, and although he was not very sure in his heart, he might as well try it. The hour is pressing, and he cannot stop the grasshopper for no reason.
(Hesitation: Read 'To the Kitchen', wandering, hesitant in your heart, the way you want to go.) Delay: procrastination; delay: read 'swing'. ）
Chapter XV
When Di Gong woke up, it was already midnight. The moon outside the sill window is hazy and starless. The streets of the city are lonely, and the night breeze is very cool. He hurriedly changed into a set of black tights, single-soled thin boots, and tied one side of the placket low to cover the forehead. The belt loop was tightly tied around the back, leaning against the Rain Dragon Sword, the hilt of which was high on one shoulder.
When the dress stopped, Di Gong crept down the stairs, picked up a wind lamp on the wall of the corridor, and listened to the inside of the second door. The hall was still lit up and soldiers were walking around. He hurried into the backyard, bypassed the stables, pulled the latch of the corner door, and flashed out. Just turned into a stone alley leading to the market, it seems that someone is stalking behind me, looking back, there is no shadow.
The river beach pier is shrouded in a white mist, the floating stacks are rolled under the boats, and the sound of the water crashes on the shore. Jiang Xin was moored with several large cargo ships, towering over the masts and shining lights. He looked closely and wanted to recognize the sampan of the daytime purple akane. Helplessly, the boat is dense and dark, where it can be recognized. Di Zhengyi hesitated, and listened violently to the footsteps behind him.
(Yi: read 'righteousness', flash: flash.) ）
"The fifth under the floating stack is." Di Gong just heard Zi Qian's voice, and Zi Qian had already jumped in front of Di Gong.
"When I saw you sneaking out of the inn in the middle of the night, I was suspicious and chased you all the way here, because you wanted to steal my ship."
Di Gong was shocked, and Nai Zheng said, "Miss Zi Qian, Hugh has to joke, at this moment I have an urgent matter, and I want to borrow your sampan for use." ”
"Dr. Liang can't row a boat, lend it to you, get blown away by the wind, or sink with a stone, you can compensate?" Zi Qian's mouth is naughty, but her attitude is serious.
"I want to go to The Rocky Rock, the waterway is not far. At night, the wind thought it was all right. Di Gong was reluctant to tell Zi Qian his true intentions.
Zi Qian smiled, "I don't care where you go, I only feel sorry for my ship." Drowned you, did not do my business, since your mother-in-law cried. ”
Without waiting for Di Gong to reply, Zi Qian had jumped on her sampan, untied the cable under the floating pile, propped up the double oars, and swung to Di Gong's feet.
"Get on board"
Di Gong jumped on the sampan, and his heart was lost.
"The lights are out."
Di Gong quickly blew out the wind lamp. Zi Qian let out a whistle, and the sampan shot at Jiang Xin like an arrow.
"Where is Dr. Liang going to see a doctor?" Zi Qian asked with a smile.
"When I came to Daqingchuan during the day, I saw that there were a few herbs growing in the pine forest in front of the ruins of the rock, which was very rare, so I wanted to pick some of them by taking advantage of the moonlight."
Zi Qian laughed again: "I am afraid that Dr. Liang is cajoling children, where is the rush to pick herbs?" Didn't you have a private appointment with the Three Princesses in the Bishui Palace, and how many of your eyes and hearts were still hidden from me? ”
Di Gong was secretly shocked and could not answer. Just when a violent wave came, the sampan shook from side to side, and it almost overturned. —— The boat has traveled to the widest part of the heart of the Daqingchuan River, the water and sky are chaotic, and there is no starlight fishing fire in sight. The river was windy, and the black shimmering waves were stacked on top of each other, hitting the sampan. At this time, Di Gong was distraught, fortunately, if Wu Zi qian followed and helped row the boat, his blind plan was almost useless. The worry was that Zi Qian, the elf girl, had already guessed her intentions. After thinking about it repeatedly, I also felt that Zi Qian was wise and clear-sighted, intelligent and trained, and was by no means a person with malicious intentions. Now it is better to push the boat along the water, calmly spit out, turn to her for help, or hope to get her full help.
So Di Gongchang sighed and said, "Don't hide miss Zi Qian, at this time you want to go to the Bishui Palace, but you are not going to privately make a appointment with the Third Princess, but to investigate an urgent public case." The case is at the end of the matter, and I will talk to you in detail later. Now I only ask the young lady to show her skill, sneak our boat under the water gate in the northwest corner of the Bishuiguan, and then hide in a hidden place and wait for me. In less than half an hour, we can go back. ”
Zi Qian listened, nodded frequently, and no longer squeaked, and flew as if playing a double oar. The sampan between the whiskers quietly broke into the forbidden area on the surface of the Bishui Palace River. Fortunately, the moon hid behind the dark clouds, and the long lamp on the palace wall flashed and flashed, where could you detect the trace of a small sampan under the eyelids.
The sampan paddled to the northwest corner of the palace wall under the water gate, Di Gong jumped off the boat, instructed Zi Qian to wait in a corner of the boat, and then he waded into the water to dive under the water gate, and then climbed the arched ledge of the water gate, pulled the thorn grass vine hanging from the gap in the palace wall, and slowly climbed up the palace wall. On that day, Dai Ning must have climbed the palace wall on the same way and sneaked to the pavilion to steal the string of jade beads. The walls of the palace wall have fallen into disrepair for many years, and the bumps are uneven, and Di Gong does not feel that it is very difficult to climb up. It didn't take long to climb to the pheasant side of the palace wall. The probe looked around, and sure enough, it was outside the gazebo. The tea table with the string of jade beads in the corner of the pavilion was still there, and although the guards on duty were numerous, they did not notice it. Di Gong looked at it in his eyes and understood it in his stomach, so he turned back and climbed down, only to carry a string of beads in his chest. - When he followed the same path, he had to carefully examine the place where Dai Ning was most likely to hide the beads.
When Di Gong climbed to the arch outside the water gate, he saw that half of the water gate was exposed to the water, and the iron fence inside the door was blocked. Curious, he looked into the door and unconsciously took a breath of cold air—a white arm was clutching an iron grate.
Chapter XVI
Di Gong fixed his eyes on it, the arm was white and thin, and there was a white jade bracelet on his wrist. - It turned out that a room was set aside inside this water gate, and the right was used as a water prison.
Di Gong asked softly, "Who is being held here?" ”
The other arm was also extended, and a woman's face was faintly seen in the darkness, and the water flooded her chest. Although the woman was full of tears, she did not lose her dignity. Di Gong looked again, and it turned out to be Grandma Wang.
"Grandma Wang, I'm Dr. Liang." Di Gong instructed softly, afraid that she would shout loudly and alarm the jailer.
"How did Dr. Liang come here day and night?" Mamma Wang collected her tears and asked softly.
"I am working for the three princesses' orders. How did Mamma eat people and sneak into this water prison? ”
"It's strange to say, just ate your two packs of pills and scattered, and I was unconscious." The imperial doctor came to diagnose the pulse, said that it was useless, and sent someone to carry me out of the inner palace to transport me to the chemical factory. When the palace ladies saw that I still had heat, they secretly hid me, and who knew that they were discovered by the eunuchs, so they forcibly carried me and fell into this water prison. ”
Di Gong said, "Someone must have poisoned you in the medicine and secretly put you to death."
The miscreants were now plotting to kill the Three Princesses. Mamma knows who the villain who framed you and the Three Princesses was. ”
Aunt Wang shook her head in confusion and said, "The people's hearts in the inner palace are blocked like overlapping mountains, and no one knows whose bottom line is." Lei Gonggong and General Manager Wen were also only in charge of the floating things. I didn't know who wanted to harm the Three Princesses, and I didn't expect that they would see me as a thorn in my eye and a thorn in my flesh. I thought that in this deep palace, I was really the only one who was the arm of the Third Princess, but I was affected by this disaster again, and I could not get out. "I can't help but cry like rain.
Di Gong continued, "When Grandma Wang came into the palace yesterday, I only felt that Eunuch Lei and General Manager Wen were deeply jealous and deliberately leaked words to me, telling me to protect myself and not to act rashly. Today, I only asked once, but I don't know which person told the third princess about my coming to Kiyokawa Town. ”
"It's Mr. Hulu. Mr. Hulu was a master of the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Household in the early days, and he taught the princes and princesses to read the scriptures, and he was deeply respected by the princes and princesses. Mr. Hulu was the most admired by the students, and often praised her in front of the emperor. Three years ago, the emperor gave this place to live with the three princesses, and Mr. Hulu also bid farewell to the capital and traveled around, behind him came to this Town of Kiyokawa to live in seclusion. When the third princess heard the letter, she specially ordered Mr. Hulu to enter and leave the palace freely, in order to tell the friendship between master and apprentice. Duke Lei and General Manager Wen have always respected Mr. Hulu, and they are also the old acquaintances of the Beijing Master, so Er has never stopped him. Mr. Hulu is a person who knows things, he rarely enters the palace, and he is afraid of gossip from others. Princess Imabanzo stole the jade bead string and was very anxious. Yesterday he shot a loud arrow at the pillar of the pavilion of the inner palace, with a book attached to it, telling her to entrust this matter to you. The princess consulted with me after receiving the letter, so my daughter came to the guest house and quietly carried you into the palace. ——The Third Princess and Mr. Hulu had agreed to have something to see, but they could shoot arrows in advance in the pavilion on the palace wall, and attach a book to pass on the message, and this organ was known only to me and my daughter. ”
Di Gongchang sighed, "That's the way it is." The thief who stole the string of jade beads, I have ascertained, was employed by a gang of gangsters, and that gang of gangsters was instructed by a demon in the palace. The thief was a descendant, and that night he climbed up the palace wall from here, and after stealing the string of jade beads outside the pavilion, he repented, secretly hid the beads, and refused to hand them over, so he ate the gang of gangsters and tortured them to death. After this life and death, the bead is a headless case, and no one knows where it is hidden. I was now trying to find the string of jade beads, guessing where the afterlife might be hiding. However, there is one thing I still don't understand, if you want to harm the Three Princesses, why do you have to steal the jade bead string? I did not believe that the theft of this string of beads would alienate the saint and the three princesses, but instead despised the love of the father and daughter. ”
Grandma Wang pondered a little and said, "When the emperor gave the jade bead string to the three princesses, he made it clear." This bead cannot be given privately, for to give privately means to choose one's own wife. The third princess is already a twenty-year-old person, and the emperor has also gone to great lengths to choose a horse, first, he does not want to go against the wishes of the third princess, and second, he wants to choose a son of a high-ranking eunuch, and he is both literate and martial, and he is outstanding, and he can add glory to the royal family. ”
"Manchu Wenwu was eager to try it, bent on making his son and nephew a horse master. Everyone understands that whichever one chooses the donkey is the first-class magnate in the DPRK today. It goes without saying that the inner fighting angle is intriguing and slandering. Moreover, none of the three princesses of the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu's sons despised them, but they only looked at the General Kang Wenxiu of yiwei in this forbidden army, and General Kang was also very interesting, but he did not dare to say it, and there were no shortage of people in the palace who knew about this. With the theft of the jade bead string, Duke Lei and General Wen must have suspected that the Third Princess had privately given it to General Kang. Such a loud voice will be reported to Kyoshi Da Nei, with many eyes and ears, and will inevitably be rewarded. Tomorrow the third princess saw the emperor faceless, can not take out the jade bead string, the emperor will think that the daughter has no way, insulted the door wind, not only the three princesses have fallen out of favor from now on, General Kang also has the risk of life. Princess Gu'ersan was bent on recovering the jade bead string, rescuing General Kang, and preserving her reputation as a clean and jadeite. ”
Di Gonglian nodded, "Grandma Wang is also assured, I will pursue the jade bead string by all means, and before lunch tomorrow, I will enter the palace to meet the Third Princess, and I will save you from the prison door in detail." ”
Aunt Wang looked at Di Gong gratefully, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Listening to the Third Princess, the foot is the di renjie county order that is famous in the sea, and the prison is like a god, and the eyes of the wilderness are admired." Today, if she has a lot of glory, the old woman is also blessed, and if she wants to come, the three princesses will be saved. The old woman suffered a little hardship here, as long as she saved the three princesses, this water prison Guan I was also willing. "Say goodbye and laugh with tears.
Di announced his resignation, waded through the water and touched the road for half a day before he saw Zi Qian's small sampan.
Chapter XVII
Zi Qian took up the oars, and the sampan silently cut the waves, out of the forbidden area, Di Gong ordered to dock.
On the shore is a dense pine forest, it is dark in the middle of the night, all kinds of insects are playing, and there are also the breath of animals, as if it is a ghostly world. Di Gong and Zi Qian came ashore and hurriedly felt out the flint stone to light the wind lamp. The ground in the pine forest is thick with rotten branches and leaves, wet and squeaky, and people walking on it are soft and unstable. Di Gong took a closer look, trying to find one or two tree holes or decaying branches. However, the pine trees here are very neat, disease-free, and almost grow to a normal height and thickness. If Dai Ning hid the jade bead string here, I am afraid that he would not be able to find it himself in the future. Because it is difficult to distinguish between the southeast, the northwest and the southeast here, once you enter, it is not easy to go out. And there are thick rotten branches and leaves on the ground, which have been hidden today and made a sign, but tomorrow they have changed their form. Not easy to identify. ——Di Gong pondered, Dai Ning must have taken the jade bead string back to the Blue Bird Guest House for the time being, and went to which hidden place to stuff it, taking it freely, very stable, and unconscious. Thinking of this, Di Gong decided to return to the Blue Bird Guest House immediately.
They felt out of the pine forest, turned back to the shore, jumped on the sampan, and returned to the river beach dock.
Zi Qian asked, "I saw you come and go all the way, and you were sane and masterless, as if you were looking for something, but I'm afraid it wasn't a precious herb." ”
Di Gong smiled, "Little oil mouth, elf ghost, what are you looking for?" ”
"The slave family guessed that it must be a very valuable thing, a gold bracelet, a jade pendant, or jade, agate, or cat's eye."
"Guess I found it?" Di Gong greatly appreciated Zi Qian's cleverness and was very grateful for Zi Qian's help, but he did not dare to tell the whole truth.
"I thought I couldn't find it. Seeing that there is joy on your face, this treasure can be found for many points. "Zi Qian is really knowledgeable.
"Miss Zi Qian, paddle faster, let's hurry to the Japanese guest house." Wait for Ming'er I to find the treasure and tell you the details. ”
Zi Qian smiled and pulled the paddle hard. At this time, the moon came out of the clouds, and there was a bright light around it, and the blue water was as transparent as glass, and it was not time for a star to glow white. The boat soon returned to the beach pier.
Back at the Blue Bird Guest House, the drums have been played four times. Di Gong went straight upstairs to the guest room, and Zi Qian went to the kitchen to raise the fire to prepare for cooking. Di Gong brewed a new pot of tea and sipped slowly, while thinking bitterly about where Dai Ning had hidden the pearl. Without a cup of tea, Zi Qian pushed the door in, holding up a wooden plate in her hand, and inside the wooden box was a hot rice bowl and a dime of rice wine.
"No hospitality, eat a glass of water and wine, drive away the cold."
Di Zheng felt the thunder in his belly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he swallowed it with a word of thanks. Zi Qian sat and ate and laughed, half a day is the way. "From the perspective of the slave family, you are not a Langzhong who walks the rivers and lakes, but rather a public servant in the yamen."
Di Gong was shocked: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Zi Qian smiled and did not answer, but turned her mouth and said, "Eat quickly, I have collected the cup and plate, and I have to make breakfast." ------------------------------------------------- ”
Di Gong swallowed the last bite of the meal and picked up the previous words: "It is good to know, do not open your mouth." "One side went to the sleeve and took out four or two stripes of silver and handed them to Zi Qian."
"Miss right and received, it is considered tea money."
Zi Qian was surprised: "Why do you have so much?" It was not paid on the desk. ”
"How much you just take care of it, sooner or later there are still troubles, just ask the young lady to recognize my grateful heart."
Zi Qian smiled, took the silver, put away the cup and wooden plate, and walked out of the guest room, and said verbally: "Lord, don't forget that I Zi Qian is." ”
Di Gong was confused for a long time before he returned to his mind to think about the jade bead string. At this moment, he didn't care who the villain who framed the Three Princesses in the palace was, but only wanted to find the beads as soon as possible and dedicate them before the Three Princesses were enlightened. Finding the jade bead string, the conspiracy to frame the three princesses was not self-defeating, the villain was bound to come out of the water, revealing his face,—— the jade bead string was ttolen by Dai Ning, there was no doubt that Lang Liu died violently, and the tooth servant surnamed Huo had not yet succeeded. If the beads in Dai Ning's hand were taken by Huo's minions or heavy gold on the way to Kouqingchuan Town, he would not say anything under Lang Liu's torture. It was Dai Ning, with a glimmer of ambition to monopolize the beads, that tried to survive torture. He had hidden the beads and waited for the storm to subside before offering them to Wei Huangshi. Wei Huangshi did not go to the Ten Mile Shop can also be explained, she never took Dai Ning's infatuation after this life as a real thing, and usually there may be a trick in the scene, but she already has her own concubine, and her departure was secretly agreed with the concubine, but she was only flustered by Dai Ning, and only then was she coaxed into him for a while. Now she had fled with her husband to the ends of the earth to live happily, leaving Dai Ning alone, who was demented, to dream of spring, and she had sacrificed her life for the string of beads.
This nonsense is far away, if so, where did Dai Ning hide the jade bead string? Di Gong repeatedly explored Dai Ning's daily life and ideological behavior. He sat on the accounting table all day long with the money and silver accountants who were bored, and all he could see was books, account books, abacuses, stamps, pens, and other things. - That's right, Zhu Pen! Didn't Dai Ning officially use paper money to outline the mountain road to ten miles on the map? The map was often placed on the tent table, and there would be no other Zhu pen in his room, Di Gong thought, why not take advantage of the fact that this guest house has not yet opened, quietly go to Dai Ning's tent to look up and down, you can also taste Dai Ning's livelihood and ponder where he may hide the pearls.
The idea was decided, and Di Gong went out of the door and crept down the stairs to the store. There was a dim kerosene lamp in the hall, and a small oil lamp on the tent was not lit, and the black and mushy on the tent was not clear. The soldiers on duty all went to sleep in the empty West Hall room, snoring faintly. Di Gong felt for the flint stone and lit the small oil lamp on the tent, and carefully searched up and down the tent.
Under the first stack of letterhead covers on the left side of the ledger was a thick personal register. On the right is a celadon pen holder, arranged in three rows and placed three purple pipe sheep. On the edge of the pen holder is a stone, and the edge of the stone is leaning against a four-inch long piece of gold pine smoke ink. There is a drawer under the large desk of the ledger, and in the first drawer on the left is a book of money and silver accounts, printing clay and a woodcut seal of "cash receipt". In the first drawer on the right is an abacus, a porcelain bottle of cinnabar juice, a tube of vermilion pen and a tin silver box. The box was empty, and there was not a single copper coin.
(Sheyan: The famous product in Yantai is made of stone materials produced in Shexian County, Anhui Province, and Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province.) She: Read 'shoot'. ）
Di Gong searched for half a day, where did he see the shadow of the jade bead string? Feeling depressed, he suddenly saw the coat box that Wei Cheng had searched for last night resting under the water sign behind the tent. Di Gong bent down to open the box, but it was empty, and the dresses and robes he saw at that time had all been collected. He furrowed his brows for half a day, and when he thought of the string of beads, he felt dark.
Di Gong sat in front of the tent and was stunned, his heart troubled. He patiently imitated Dai Ning's business: first handed over the register for the guests to fill in, and then signed the water sign with a pen dipped in ink, indicating the guest's name and room. The departing guest came to check out and paid the house money, and he dialed the abacus, signed the money on the account book, put the money into the tin silver plate, and then added the seal of "cash receipt". After the night account was completed, he used a Zhu pen to approve the amount of money and silver. Submit it to Wei Cheng. Wei Cheng inspected and collected the cash box of cash, leaving the empty box.
Di Gong silently performed it again, carefully looking at these props, and a light burst into his heart, and he suddenly realized. - It turned out to be such an organ! Giving up the near and far, it cost me a lot of running and tossing. Nine nine returned to the yuan, but the bell was still tied.
Chapter XVIII
The first time the chicken called Minister Di to wash carefully, the crown was vibrating, and the spirit was refreshed. He carefully pulled out the yellow silk holy will from the neckline of the clothes, read it carefully again, and secretly calculated how to appear today.
After finishing breakfast, Liu Bingcao saw that Liu Bingcao led eight junjian into the guest house to find Di Gong, saying that Lieutenant Zou had invited him. Di Gong said, "It's just right, I have an urgent matter here and I'm going to the military camp to find Lieutenant Zou." ”
Di Gong walked out of the guest house with Liu Bingcao, and suddenly saw the two brocades standing outside the door of the Jiuxiao guest house on the opposite street, probing his brain to look at this side, and saw that Liu Bing Cao was supported by a cadre of military health, and did not dare to move.
When he arrived at the gate of the military village, Zou Liwei was practicing military ding. Seeing Di Gong come in, he hurriedly skimmed the Ling Banner, called a military agent, and greeted him with a smile. After greeting Him, he immediately led Di Gong up to the palace hall of the fort, and Liu Bing Cao Li led the army to retreat.
"Di Xian Ling, what happened to that?" Last night, General Kang and his little brother spat out, and frequently urged the little brother to look up to you. Zou Liwei felt that this matter was urgent, and he was afraid that Di Gong had not yet taken care of it.
Lieutenant Zou sent soldiers to the guest house to escort him. This Officer wishes to express his gratitude. At this moment, you immediately raised the apricot yellow rice inside and outside the military village and announced that the emperor had arrived. He said and took out the yellow silk holy will from his sleeve and spread it on the bookcase.
Zou Liwei stretched his neck and glanced at it, Huang Chengcheng only felt his eyes flickering, and fixed his eyes on careful reading, and fixed his eyes on reading carefully, he did not feel sweaty, his knees were soft, and he fell to his knees.
"The lowly duty did not know that Lord Chincha was coming, and he was lost in worship, and he was sentenced to death, and he was guilty of capital crime." He said and pounded his head like a garlic.
Di Gong and Yan Yuexi said, "Zou Liwei, this official came here today on the orders of the emperor, just to handle a public case, you are careful to serve the public and diligent in your own duties, this official has his own place to look at you, there is no need to panic." At this moment, I immediately went to prepare a complete set of halide books and music. ”
Apricot yellow flags were soon raised on the large flagpoles of the school yard in the military village—only the emperor or the emperor's Chincha could be used to issue such a ceremony. The soldiers in the camp were shocked to hear the information, and for a moment they were all silent, and they did not dare to have a half-step difference.
Here Zou Liwei immediately prepared a salt book of Chincha, and the banner was trumpeted. He also wore a hood on his head and wore gold armor. Holding a spear in his hand and a bow and arrow hanging from his waist, he stood quietly next to him to listen to Di Gong's dispatches.
"Zou Liwei, at this moment, you will ride to the Bishui Palace to proclaim your will, and order Yi Wei Zhonglang to bring Kang Wenxiu and The Palace Governor Wendong to the military camp to listen to the will."
Di Gong then temporarily used Zou Liwei's hall as a walking hall, built a tooth tree flag, and arranged a forbidden beep. Suddenly, the whole camp was silent. Di Gong Cicada's crown purple and jade belt soap boots stood behind the Ebony Gong Case, and the two propagators each held a treasure fan and a seal box to stand on the left and right. A bronze incense burner was lit on the case, and green smoke was everywhere. The incense burner places a carved gold plate at the head, and the plate contains the holy will of Huang Aya. The right head supported the Yulong Sword that Di Gong had worn, and Quan Zuo gave Shang Fang.
As the plaque was engraved, Wen Dong and Kang Wenxiu drove to the Yuanmen Gate, respectfully dismounted, and neatly packed the crown and brought them into the camp to worship Chincha.
Wen and Kang bowed to the dancers and knelt in front of the public case in horror, waiting to listen to the instructions. Di said publicly: "Now that the order has been lowered, this official has come to the Bishui Palace in Qingchuan Town to investigate the case of stealing the national treasure." You are all the supervisors of the palace, and you are responsible for guarding the three princesses. Knowing that the national treasure has been stolen, what sin you two deserve, you know in your heart. ”
The two of them knelt down in trembling and replied, "I understand." ”
"Fortunately, the Emperor De Wuji, the gods and ghosts secretly helped, the official arrived, and the suspected case was released." Today, this official plans to accompany the two of them to the Bishui Palace to meet the Three Princesses and to accept the analysis of eunuch Lei in person to solve the case. The reason for this case is related to a murder case in Kiyokawa Town, at this moment we first went to the blue bird guest house in the town to check the verification. ”
Chapter XIX
Di Gong ordered that the number of routines be waived along the way, so as not to alarm the people, so when a group of caravans and horses and soldiers rushed to the Blue Bird Guest House, they did not attract the attention of passers-by. Lieutenant Zou and Officer Liu Bing went to the guest house one step ahead to set up a guard.
As soon as everyone arrived at the guest house, Di Gong immediately ordered Feng to interrogate him, and first ordered Lieutenant Zou to take Wei Cheng, the innkeeper, to the store. ——The store hall has been arranged in a hall, and Wendong and Kang Wenxiu are sitting on the left and right of Di Gong. Eight armies stood on either side, waiting for the call.
(鞫: Read 'ju', interrogate.) ）
When Wei Cheng arrived, two soldiers pushed him to the ground and knelt down to talk back. Wei Cheng only felt numbness all around him, and his skin and flesh trembled unceasingly. When I looked up, I saw that the old man sitting in the middle was good-looking, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, and his heart was shocked and afraid, but he only prayed secretly, hoping for luck.
Di Gongxian did not ask questions, and turned his eyelids to Wen Dong: "This person reported to the officials half a month ago that his wife had eloped with an adulterer. ”
Wen Dong frowned, "What does his woman's elopement have to do with the bead string of the Third Princess?" Did Lord Di have the pleasure of also managing civil litigation and asking about the household affairs of the ordinary people? ”
Di Gong said, "Hey, this matter can't be underestimated, but it is related to the bead string of the Third Princess." You have the right to listen and listen, and I will ask. ”
Di Gong patted the table and asked, "Wei Cheng, where is your wife Huang Shi now?" ”
"Returning to the old master's words, I am ashamed to say that the unworthy wife did not keep the way of women, corrupted customs, and ran with people half a month ago, almost with the pigs and dogs who lost their lives. Xiao Min had reported to the military camp and requested that the adulteress and adulterer be recovered. ”
Di Gong did not change his voice: "Wei Cheng, this official asks you again, do you know who huang clan elopes with?" ”
Wei Chengli hesitated and replied, "The adulterer who is suspicious of his wife in the head of the little people is Dai Ning, the accountant in the shop, who outlines the route to escape from this adulteress on a map." I think it is two secret covenants, the wife is one step ahead, who knows that they have met strongmen, one was taken captive, one was killed, and there is still no information. ”
(Hesitation: wandering, hesitation: reading 'late', hesitation: reading 'kitchen'.) ）
Di Gong asked again, "Where did a captive go?" What is the cause of a murder? ”
Wei Cheng replied, "Saying that he was taken captive, in fact, the strongman knew his wife first, and Dai Ning is now dead again, so Er Xiaomin believes that the adulterer who runs away with the lowly seller should be the strongman." The two of them made a trap first, killing Dai Ning's life alone, and went to be happy, where did the little people know where this mean woman was. ”
Di Gongguan smiled, "I'm just afraid that Huang Clan is still in the Blue Bird Guest House and hasn't left." ”
Wei Cheng was secretly surprised and argued urgently. "The little man can swear to heaven that the mean woman has long since gone away and flew high."
Di Gongyin's face darkened, and he drank, "The Huang clan was killed by your own hands, and the death test is still hidden in the shed next to the stables in the backyard." --------------------------------------- ”
Di Gong led the crowd to the backyard and walked around the stables over the fence to the dark shed. Pointing to the corner where he had been lying a few days ago, he ordered the four soldiers to move to the old things to look for carefully.
The four soldiers removed the old wooden cabinet and removed the broken sack, and saw that there was a wooden box behind the sack. The corner of the wooden box was damaged, leaking a little bit of white lime. The soldier lifted the wooden box, feeling very heavy, and saw that the broken corner of the wooden box was crawling with ants and flies. Di Gong ordered the wooden box to be opened, and the soldier pried the lock and opened the lid of the box with force, and indeed there was a female corpse inside the box, which was filled with lime, and there were two balls under the sleeves of the corpse, which had rotted and blackened, and was full of ants.
Wei Cheng was escorted into the shed, and when he saw this, he immediately collapsed to the ground, saying that he was "guilty."
Di Gong ordered The soldier Ding to collect Huang's body, first carried it to the military camp for display, turned his face to Wei Cheng, and said: "This officer did not investigate this case because the corpse smell and the ball attracted ants and flies." You are stingy, you are not a dime, you regard money as your life, and the Huang clan suffers a lot and does not say anything. If she had eloped, would she not have carried her favorite red multicolored shirt and a floral dress? That day I saw you open her suitcase and clean it up, and there were two things in the box, and I think you have sold them for silver. ”
Wei Cheng's face was full of tears, and he beckoned, "The unworthy wife and Dai Ning's eyebrows come and go, but they didn't see any non-division, and those two shirts and skirts were also bought by Dai Ning with her." During my nap that day, I heard them talking through the oil-paper sill window, and Dai Ning's words were all kinds of provocative, counting my bad points, and persuading her to flee. Later, when I saw Dai Ning sketching the mountain road to the neighboring county ten miles with a Zhu pen on the map, I suspected that they had indeed made an elopement agreement. In a fit of rage, he killed his wife, hid her body in a wooden box in the shed, falsely claimed to have eloped with others, and went to report to the officials. Afterwards, I felt very sorry, and I had to hide it from everyone, and I was wrong, so I couldn't bear to bury it. ”
(Fistula: Read 'meaning', buried.) ）
Di Gong ordered The army to twist Wei Cheng, put on a chain, and escort him to the military village to await judgment.
Back in the store, Di Gong whispered to Zou Liwei to carefully move the large desk of the account desk to the military village. The Tao is physical evidence and cannot be neglected. Ichi nai ling: "Start the car and return to the military village." ”
Wen Dong and Kang Wenxiu only felt ignorant, and Ping Bai followed Di Gong to this city inn and took a prisoner who killed his mother-in-law. Ignoring the situation in his heart, Di Gong smiled and said, "Go to the military village officer and talk to you in detail about the end of the jade bead string case." ”
Chapter XX
Back at the military village hall, Di Gong ordered Jun Ding to carry the large desk of the Qingbird Guest House to the front, and then ordered him to take the hot alkali water and a horse of plain crepe. Wen Dong and Kang Wenxiu sat aside, and the second monk was confused.
Di Gong sighed and said, "Ben Qin has come to analyze the case of the jade bead string." The one who stole the jade bead string was the accounting room of the Qingbird Guest House, whose name was Dai Ning, and who was a young offspring. This Dai Ning was hired by a gang of miscreants who were heavily funded and boldly infiltrated the Bishui Palace to steal. ”
Kang Wenxiu was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Wang Qincha made it clear how this Dai Ning sneaked into the Bishui Palace to steal." ”
Di Gong said, "Dai Ning rode a leaf boat into the forbidden area outside the Bishui Palace in the dark night, secretly lurked under the water gate four corners of the northwest corner of the palace wall, and then climbed up the palace wall along the arched wall of the water gate, and climbed over the pavilion where the three princesses enjoyed the moon." Before the three princesses enjoyed the moon, they plucked the jade beads from their necks and placed them on a coffee table outside the pavilion. Dai Ning took the third princess to admire the moon, and stole it with his bare hands, and it was not effortless. ”
Kang Wenxiu's face turned pale, and he cried bitterly in his heart: "In this way, it is an omission in the arrangement of inferior defenses and has been taken advantage of by evil people." What the inferior post wondered was that this Dai Ning was no more than a flat-headed commoner, how to know the omission of the official wall, how to know that the northwest corner of the palace could climb along the wall at the water gate. What surprised Beizhi even more was how he knew that the third princess was going to go to the pavilion to admire the moon that day, and he would inevitably take off the beads between the necklaces and put them on the coffee table outside the pavilion. ”
The center was confused, suspicious, and Kang Wenxiu's face was sweating heavily.
Di Gong looked at Kang Wenxiu lightly and smiled, "The organ is here." It turned out that the gang of miscreants was also hired, and behind them was a tooth servant surnamed Huo. The servant told him that at a certain moment on a certain day, in this way, he could successfully steal the string of jade beads. It is so guessed that there must be an internal response in the palace with the surname Huo, and the main criminal in this case must live in the palace and strategize, deducing such a thrilling drama. ”
Ben Chincha did not say the name of the main criminal for the time being, but said that after Dai Ning stole the jade bead string, he cherished the treasure in his heart and was reluctant to cut it off, so that he secretly hid it. He wanted to sell the beads for gold and silver and use them happily, and in fact he had broken them apart and intended to sell them one by one. He quietly returned to the Blue Bird Guest House to pack his bags, and then went straight along the mountain road to the Shili Shop in the neighboring county, where he wanted to get hair off..."
Wen Dong couldn't help but get angry and scolded, "This little thief slave is lawless, waiting to be captured, and the corpse is broken into ten thousand pieces." ”
Di Gong smiled, "Didn't General Manager Wen forget the confession of the Wei treasurer, Dai Ning has been killed." This offspring is short-sighted, where does he know the stakes of this string of beads? In his heart, he had a good dream of making a windfall, and the gangsters in the wall compartment had already laid down a net of heaven and earth. Before Dai Ning could get out of the mountain beam, he was caught by his employer and asked him for the beads, which he deduced had not been stolen. The employer is a person who has come over, and after the world, where will he believe it? Drinking orders to be executed. This Dai Ning thought that he was young and could survive, who knew that the gangsters were too heavy and actually gave him his life. Lieutenant Zou Liwei, tell me what the inspector of the military camp found in his bag when he found his body. ”
Zou Liwei knelt down: "Dai Ning's body was fished on the south bank of the Great Qingchuan River." At that time, he saw that his whole body was injured, his stomach was cut open, his blood was blurred, and he was almost out of human form. On his right arm, he also carried a coarse cloth bag, which contained a stack of famous posters, a map, a string of copper coins, and an abacus. ”
"Slow down." Di Gong waved his hand and motioned for Lieutenant Zou to step aside. Although this Dai Ning was short-sighted, he had a lot of scheming. He also knew that his employer would not let it go easily without handing over the beads. He came up with a brilliant plan, using scissors to remove the eighty-four beads one by one, and then gently hid them. ”
Kang Wenxiu's eyes widened, his ears straightened, he didn't understand much, and asked urgently: "These eighty-four beads, rolling round and round, can't be used in both hands, how can he hide them gently?" ”
Di Gong nodded, reached out and pulled open the drawer on the right side of the desk, and took out the abacus.
"The beads are here." He held the abacus high.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but they didn't know what medicine was buried in Di Gong's gourd.
Di Gong ordered a soldier to pass over the porcelain jar filled with hot alkali water, and he forcefully broke the abacus frame, "clicking", the frame broke apart, and the abacus beads slid all rolled into the porcelain jar, only to hear a hissing sound, and a wisp of water rose from the porcelain jar.
"Dai Ning strung eighty-four beads into this abacus!" ——He applied each bead with cinnabar juice alloy ink, dipped it in water glue, and then wore it on the twelve thin copper rods of the original abacus, and threw away all the wooden beads, closed the wooden frame, and carried it with him, which was really seamless. As an accounting room, he had to keep his account books and abacuses, and who would have suspected that his abacus was originally made of eighty-four valuable jade beads. ”
Naturally, the employer was also concealed, so Er and the bag were thrown into the Great Kiyokawa along with the body. On the day the body was recovered, it was Lieutenant Zou Liwei who entrusted me to send this abacus back to the Blue Bird Guest House. I personally handed this abacus back to the Wei treasurer easily, but it took me two days and two nights of painstaking thoughts to solve this mystery. Tie the bell to untie the bell, the original is a person, far away in the sky, close at hand, really can be said to step on the iron shoes nowhere to find, get all effortless. ”
The crowd was so thunderous that they woke up from a big dream, stretching their necks one by one to look into the porcelain jar on the desk.
Di Gong pulled out two beads from the porcelain jar, gently rubbed them with a plain crepe, and then spread out his palms, and suddenly two shining white lights shot out from Di Gong's palms, and the exquisite and crystal-dazzling jade beads were displayed in full view of everyone. One by one, they were stunned and frightened.
Di Gong ordered that the beads be placed on a carved gold plate and covered with the Yellow Aya Sacred Will. Before long, eighty-four beads were all incorporated into the gold plate. He also asked the jade smith to re-skewer the beads, and they were as good as ever, no different.
Di Gong nai ordered him to drive into the palace. ——A top of eight people carried a large car to sit Di Gong, Wen Dong and Kang Wenxiu stepped on their respective carved saddle horses, the forbidden army tooth riding guard, the halogen book instrument from the neat, two teams of drum music in front of the guide, the mighty wave towards the Bishui Palace. All the way to the fireworks bombardment, the drum music is noisy, and the people on the street who dare to look up, they all hide from the road.
There was already a flying horse to report to the inner palace, and Chincha led the holy will to come into the palace to pay homage to the three princesses. The third princess was overjoyed, knowing in her heart that Di Renjie had retrieved the jade bead string, and was busy ordering all the palace eunuchs and eunuchs in the inner palace to gather under the golden jade bridge to greet them. The outer palace has already been passed down by General Kang's army, opening the palace door widely, Xiao Shao eats wine, and waits for the order.
Di Gong entered the main gate of the Bishui Palace, and after receiving the ceremony, Di Gong entered a colorful column to paint Xiao Xuan for a rest. After the tea was offered, Di Zheng felt thirsty, took a sip, suddenly felt that his spleen and stomach were refreshing, and his spirit was refreshed, and he asked: "Wen and Kang know that there is a surname Huo who often comes and goes in the palace." ”
Kang Wenxiu shook his head, "I have never heard that there is a person with the surname Huo in and out of the palace." ”
Wen Dong frowned. "The outer palace is patrolled by General Kang, and he is a lowly guard, but he has never let a person surnamed Huo enter the palace." The inner palace is managed by Duke Lei, and we are not all clear about the things inside the Golden Jade Bridge, and there is no way to enter and exit. ”
"The Jinyi under General Manager Wen has recently gone out to take care of official business, but he is wearing black clothes and black pants." Di Gong asked again.
Wen Dong replied, "The brocade under the inferior ranks never wears black pants, and there have been no dispatches lately." By the way, yesterday, the chief of the Inner Circle came to borrow four from the lowly post to go to the bureau. ”
"What General Manager Wen said is referring to the internal official Lei Chengfeng on the other side of the Jinyu Bridge?"
Hui Qin sent Lord Qin to say that the chief of Nahe was under The hands of Lei's husband, so it was not easy to push and adjust, but he could not leave the master's face. As a rule, the brocade is not allowed to borrow from the past, and Fu Begqin sends him to reduce his sins. ”
Di Gong understood the three points in his heart, and asked Kang Wenxiu: "Four days ago, at midnight, what was abnormal about the gangcheng guarding the palace wall. ”
Kang Wenxiu pondered for a moment, but replied: "Yes, in the middle of the night, there was a fire under the kitchen of the inner palace, and on the orders of Duke Lei, the guards at the head of the palace wall had allocated half of it to rescue him." ”
Di Gong was silent, took a few sips of tea, and then got up and passed the order into the inner palace.
Wen Dong and Kang Wenxiu led Di Gong through several water pavilions, the cloister Curved Marsh, all the way to the Huamu Zhenguo, clusters, butterflies and bees, the fragrance was soft, and saw that under the golden jade bridge by the lotus pond, the fat eunuch led four small yellow gates to crawl on the ground early, waiting for Chincha.
Di Gong ordered everyone to wait under the bridge, and he went to Yazhai himself to see eunuch Lei.
The elegant Ya Zhaibin is adjacent to the lotus pond, quietly empty. Bursts of floral scents make people slightly drunk. Eunuch Lei stood on the edge of the water carving fence and looked at the cluster of ice and jade water lilies in the pool. Di Gong walked behind Eunuch Lei, and Eunuch Lei slowly turned his face.
"Your Excellency Di Renjie, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I was already Chincha." His tone was not without contempt.
Di Gong bowed his hand and said, "Today, I entered the palace according to the holy will, and specially presented the jade bead string back to the Three Princesses." ”
Eunuch Lei exhaled in his nose: "Your Excellency's name was slightly heard when he was in the Capital Division, and how many strange cases were suspected of being imprisoned, once analyzed, they were all insightful and could not be admired." Your Excellency, you can go to the inner palace to meet the Three Princesses, and this time the Holy Spirit aims to hand, and the old decay can hinder each other. ”
Di Zheng said, "Lei Chengfeng, repeatedly wanted to harm this official, I don't know why?" ”
Eunuch Lei smiled lightly: "Ancient People Yun, don't say anything about things, don't tell you about the past, things are still going on, why should you and I elaborate?" If you look at the white lotus on the other side of the pond, which has withered and failed this morning, I know that there must be someone corresponding. A drink and a peck, all have predetermined, and now it seems that this statement is not false. ”
Di Gong sneered. "For example, mortals miss it fondly, there is a criminal law in the clear, and there are ghosts and gods in the dark, so the Tao is heavenly reason, and it should not be deceived." Ray also heard that man will insult himself, and then man will insult him. Ray confessed that he did not know self-respect, so today, otherwise who would dare to disrespect you? ”
Eunuch Lei laughed and said, "You must not live by your own sins." When the old decay saw you the night before, he knew that there would be today, but he was reluctant to hinder your future, so he could not bear to do it. The old decaying wind before the candle, and what a pity, haha. I'm going to take my medicine, so let's go inside and talk. Saying that, he swung into the yazhai and went to the book drawer and took out a small purple gourd, shook it, poured out a pill and put it in his mouth, rinsed a mouthful of fragrant tea, and swallowed it.
"Di Renjie, He someone is in the back garden, don't let him go." The old decay went to the fountain platform, and he still needed a follower to serve, haha..." Eunuch Lei changed his face, panting, and his whole body convulsed.
Di Gong hurried into yazhai to support him, and eunuch Lei was already softened, collapsing to the ground, his eyes rolling over, and straightening his neck.
Chapter XXI
Di Gong returned to the Lotus Pond Jinyu Bridge and ordered Zou Liwei to lead the jailers to immediately enter the back garden to arrest Nahe and go to the water prison to release Grandma Wang. The rest of the people followed him into the Inner Palace to become the Third Princess of Jin, and ordered the Fat Grand Inspector to wave and guide him.
Inside the Jinyu Bridge, there were already palaces and eunuchs waiting for them, a colorful festival, a feather flower, Di Gong walked slowly across the Golden Jade Bridge, the drums in his ears were sonorous, and the fragrance in front of his nose was fragrant. Everyone hugged Di Gong and his wife had just arrived at the inner temple jade tree, and the three princesses came to greet them in full costume. Seeing the jade on her head, the colorful wisps on her chest, the jade Qiongpei, shaking and sounding, the snow skin and flowers, the brilliance of the people.
Di Gong led Wen Dong and Kang Wenxiu to complete the ceremony, so they raised the carved gold plate high. The third princess gently unveiled the yellow aya, and the jade beads under the sun shone brightly and scorched. Whether I like it in my heart, I couldn't help but pluck the sideburns, gaze at Kang Wenxiu with affection, and a layer of bright red light flew up on my face. Kang Wenxiu glanced at Di Gong with the tips of his eyes, and the three princesses were conscious. He also bowed down to Xie Digong and called him "Xie Qincha", while instructing Gong'e to lead Qincha into the inner temple to sit down.
Di Gong simply recounted the end of the jade bead string case, and also said: "Your Highness the Princess, Jiren Tianxiang, Hong Fuqi Tian." ”
The Third Princess was very grateful and said, "Di Qing can go to the Capital Division with Feng Yuan today, and I will strongly recommend to my father and emperor, those officials of Dali Temple; it is not yet a mile away from Di Qing." ”
Di Gong said, "The lower official must return to the county today, and it turns out that the lower official only wants to have a few big red carps here, and he does not expect to serve the princess in a small way. Saying that she would respectfully offer the yellow aya's holy will, the third princess did not feel the heat in her eyes, and her heart was more and more admired.
While she was talking, Grandma Wang came up to the temple, and trembled and bowed to the Third Princess first, but turned her eyes to bow to Di Gong and said, "Luckily, I can still see Di Xian Ling." I couldn't help but burst into tears. He also told the Third Princess in detail about meeting with Di Gong in front of the water prison in the northwest corner of the palace wall last night, and the Third Princess listened to it and sighed for a long time.
The Third Princess ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. It is the food and cooking, the fruit column is new, the grape wine, the water and land delicacies, the qi qi chu chu, the variety, needless to say. At the end of the afternoon, the wine banquet was scattered, the three princesses resigned from the palace, Cuihua shook himself to go to the Beijing Division, and Di Gong was then accompanied by Lieutenant Zou back to the Qingbird Guest House.
Chapter XXII
Di Gong rode his horse and entered the black pine forest. This time it is time to leave Kiyokawa Town, and the scenery is similar to that of the previous day when I came to this Kiyokawa Town, and the mood is very different.
In the afternoon, the hot and spicy sun head fell on the body through a strong leaf sift, and the stars only felt comfortable and moving blood veins. At this time, his heart overflowed with a sense of pride that he had done his job and retreated bravely, and he was glad that the jade beads had been stringed and returned to Zhao, and the plot to frame the three princesses was finally foiled by him personally. This time to go back to Puyang County, it is good to say and the ladies to listen to the exquisite beauty of this Bishui Palace, the beauty of the Three Princesses, the vast blue waves and beautiful scenery of the Great Qingchuan River will make them fascinated and guessed. At this time, somehow Di Gong suddenly thought of Zi Qian again, and before leaving, Zi Qian wanted to go to his gourd, which was a souvenir. She is intelligent, willful and courageous, and if she has not relied on her to help everywhere in the past two or three days, how can she solve this case? The third princess is similar in age to Zi Qian, but she is like a colorful bird in a cage, dressed in brocade and served by someone. But there is no freedom, blind loneliness, when faced with danger, there is almost no self-help, in fact, there is also a poor person. Zi Qian is just like a wild bird in the forest, crying and perching, free and unhappy. ——When he was thinking about it, he saw an old green donkey flashing out after seeing a trampling ancient pine in front of him, and Mr. Hulu sat firmly on the back of the donkey and looked at Di Gong with a pair of eyes. Two crutches rest on the back of the body, and a gourd hangs in front of the span.
Di Xian Ling still dressed this way, and the old decay was very admired. I had already guessed that the yellow aya wouldn't tick off your soul. Hey, your gourd? ”
"I gave the gourd to a woman in the inn. Mr. Hulu, when I left this Kiyokawa Town, I didn't expect to see you again, it was really a blessing in my life. Mr. Kuangshi is a high-ranking person, only hates the official Fu Bo, can not follow, when listening to Yajiao. ”
Mr. Hulu smiled, "Didn't the old man say that day, you and I still have a relationship?" Today's farewell is like a merchant. However, you must not be sentimental, you must know that everything in the world is predetermined, and the immortal emperor and the beggar are not like this. If you can see through this layer, you will enter a realm and ascend to a heavy heaven. ”
Di Gongfu smiled, "It is not impossible that there are things in the world that have a cause, but there is no need for everything to have a cause and effect." If the gentleman's words and deeds are like this, he must have come through several vicissitudes. ”
Mr. Hulu exclaimed, "I also know Mai and Liu Ren under my feet, and I have seen through the old decay." In fact, why bother, the old decay is the general Ouyang who bathed in blood twenty-five years ago. At that time, he was taken captive by Fan Bang, and the country thought that he had sacrificed his life. Mobei was imprisoned for fifteen years and desperately fled back to his homeland. Since then, he has been buried in anonymity and deliberately written poems and graves. Who knew that it was not easy to escape from his name, and that he was bound by his body, resulting in a false rumor, and he was hired into the palace to be the master of the princesses and grandchildren. I teach students every day and are strict, idle and interesting, and very harmonious. Among the students, only the third princess is the most intelligent and yingda, every time she interprets the classics, spontaneous essence, and tells eloquently, she can often pick the mistakes of Zheng and Ma, and remove the flaws of Mr. Zheng, and every time she makes the old decay very embarrassed, so she loves to appreciate it. Today, when the three princesses encountered adultery and plotted against each other, the old decay boldly acted and recommended you. The foot really did not bear the heavy trust, the hole was like a candle fire, the third princess was plucked in the water and fire, and the old decay also thanked here. Saying that he slightly bent over the donkey's back, it was a gift, and the white beard almost touched his gourd.
Di Gong hurriedly returned the gift, saying "folding blessing".
Mr. Hulu untied his gourd and handed it to Di Gong: "Your gourd has sent people, many inconveniences." The foot is called Mr. Hulu, if you don't hate it, you can stay and make a souvenir. The wonder of this gourd is in 'emptiness'. Don't think that this 'emptiness' is nothing, not enough. The South China True Scripture says that a car has a hub, but it is used for a car; a room has a household, and it is used for a room. The reason why it has "use" is in the meaning of "emptiness". ”
"The same is true of the way of being a man, to regard that glory and wealth as a floating cloud, but also to fight this 'empty' universe. Only when the eyes are hollow and big can we forget both honor and disgrace. The world is bustling and only competes for one profit; the world camps only one name. The old decay sees a lot, and those who win profit will eventually die for profit; those who run to fame are like sleeping with a tiger in their arms, and they are even more dangerous when they walk away with a snake in their sleeves. Named Public Instrument. How can it be monopolized for so long? I was afraid that the limit would come, but like the private salt bag, I hated not to break free in time. When you get to that step of the field, you will realize the word 'empty' again, I am afraid it is too late. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ”
Di Gong thanked him, went to the saddle and tied the gourd, looked up and saw Mr. Gourd, did not feel a moment of confusion, and overheard the horse's hooves behind him.
"Lord, let's chase..."
Di Gong looked back, but it was his own relatives who did Qiao Tai and Ma Rong. It turned out that they had killed the wild boar that endangered one side that night in Qilizhuang, and the owner of the village, Chu Taigong, was overjoyed and set up a feast to celebrate, so he drowned. At that time, it was agreed that two days later, The town of Qingchuan would meet Qi Digong and return to Puyang County.
Qiao Tai said, "We rushed to Qingchuan Town to ask, but I knew that Old Master had just left." Thinking that he had entered this forest, he kept chasing after him. ”
Ma Rong said, "We ambushed the big wild boar in the mountain field outside the Seven Mile Village and stripped six hundred catties of meat." Lord, can you catch the big red carp of the Great Kiyokawa? ”
Di Gong smiled slightly, "The carp is not caught, but it is fishing for a gourd, which is very useful." ”
Qiao Tai and Ma Rong said, "We are thirsty, but there is tea in the gourd?" ”
Di Gong said, "No, it's empty inside." ”
