Changle Floating Life

The book office and the prison code from Yangzhou Mansion waited for two days in Zhizhou Mansion, preparing to bring Zhao Nanxing and Yuan Shangqiu to Yangzhou Mansion for confession.Li Zhiwei accompanied him every day, serving him with good tea and food.

On the morning of Ning Bancheng Touqi, the three of them and a master were playing Pai Gow in the backyard of Zhizhou Mansion.The book office won a lot of money from Li Zhiwei, and felt a little sorry, because he asked: "It's sunny, Mr. Li doesn't sit in the hall, how can you keep playing with us?"

Li Zhiwei sighed and said, "Nowadays, I am not in charge of the government office, so why bother to be disliked." As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and said, "He is on a hunting tour by order, and all the people in the house are his people. In a few days, I will retire and return home.”

Both the book office and the jail department knew that he was referring to the second prince Pei Zhaoye, they looked at each other, and asked: "Then when will the prisoner that our lord wants to take away?"

Li Zhiwei's master hurriedly stood up to help and said: "After the funeral today, I guess Zuo Shaoqing won't be able to get out of it. Tomorrow, after the formalities are completed, the two of you will be able to take someone away."

It is said that Zhao Nanxing was escorted back to the cell by Zuo Fengmian after the funeral, and he never lost a moment.

As soon as he entered the cell, he was greeted by a strong smell of blood. Yuan Shangqiu was pressed on the bench and beaten until he passed out.Zuo Fengmian sat on the teacher's chair and said calmly: "Splash salt water!"

The prison guards on both sides poured a bucket of salt water on Yuan Shangqiu's body, only to hear him howling like a pig, which shook the cell roof and beams, and a layer of dust fell in clusters.

Knowing that he didn't catch Ye Jianqing on the spot today, Zhao Nanxing took his anger out on Yuan Shangqiu, and reminded him: "Lord Zuo, with your style of play, you won't be able to pay the Yangzhou government tomorrow."

Zuo Fengmian looked back at him and smiled, his color was like spring flowers, his lips were especially bright red: "Do you think you can reach Yangzhou Mansion alive?"

Zhao Nanxing gritted his teeth and remained silent.The jailer behind him pushed him to the ground. He struggled to get up, but someone stepped on his back and prostrated himself on the ground. The ground was covered with Yuan Shangqiu's blood.

Zuo Fengmian sneered and said, "Do you think today's arrow is going to shoot me or you?"

Zhao Nanxing also responded coldly: "Chicken ribs are not enough for Anzun fist, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer."

Zuo Fengmian laughed loudly and said, "Since he wanted to save you, do you know why he returned without success?"

Zhao Nanxing raised his eyebrows and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Zuo Fengmian played with the whitebait bag and the jade pendant on his waist, and said, "Because His Royal Highness Duan Wang has already led troops to raid Princess Zhen Guo's mansion, he can't take care of himself, so he doesn't have the energy to save you."

There was obvious shock in Zhao Nanxing's eyes, and even Yuan Shangqiu, who was beaten to death, moved, opened his eyes, and called out: "Nan Xing."

Zhao Nanxing was on the ground and looked up at Yuan Shangqiu who was lying on the bench. His eyes were still so bright, as if he could speak.His face was drenched with blood from the whip. The blood flowed from his clothes to his arms to his fingertips. He wanted to reach out and touch Zhao Nanxing's face, but all ten fingernails were pulled out. When the tip moved, it twitched in pain.

Zhao Nanxing suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis, and shouted to Zuo Fengmian: "You can't beat him to death, he is the governor's son, after being an official, he is not a cat or a dog, a poor and lowly person, how will you explain to Yushitai in the future. "

Zuo Fengmian felt very relieved, for the past seven days he finally saw Zhao Nanxing's anxious appearance, so he turned to Yuan Shangqiu and said, "Mr. No more. You only need to press your fingerprint on the confession, and I will still say that, you and Mr. Zhao, I will send you back in eight palanquins."

Yuan Shangqiu's face was covered with blood, his eyeballs moved, and he said with difficulty: "I wish I could eat your flesh and sleep on your skin, so that I can frame my friends, bah! In normal life, I will never see a dead official in my eyes again."

Zuo Fengmian moved his fingers, and said with a smile: "Beat until you die, don't stop until you have breath!" As soon as he finished speaking, the two standing guards swung their prison sticks, one on the left and one on the right, and started beating each other. .

Zhao Nanxing said anxiously: "There is the sun in the sky, and Zhang Liang is on the ground. Zhang Liang has a sword that does not kill innocent people."

Zuo Fengmian was hit by Tanhualang when he was 15 years old, and he was also quite quick-witted, so he answered unhurriedly: "There is Tianhe in the sky, and Xiao He is in the ground. Xiao He has a law, and you should not do anything that breaks the law."

Zhao Nanxing shouted: "You tell them to stop, I will sign the pleadings, let Mr. Yuan go."

Zuo Fengmian said casually, "It's late."

"You, what a vicious person!" Zhao Nanxing gritted his teeth and looked at the beautiful gentleman in the crimson official robe in front of him, remembering Yuan Shangqiu scolding him for looking like a young lady from Cuiwei Pavilion when he first came. He became murderous and vowed not to let Yuan Shangqiu get out of here alive.

The two warders were both strong and strong, and they beat the sticks quickly, blood spattered little by little on Zhao Nanxing's face and body not far away.At the beginning, I heard Yuan Shangqiu whimpering and humming, but gradually his voice disappeared, and the sound of the stick hitting the body also changed from a flesh and blood "slap" sound to a dull sound at the end, as if hitting wood.

Zhao Nanxing was bone-chillingly cold.This man used to be a well-known evil young dandy in Xuzhou City. He didn't read a single book in his eyes, didn't know a single thing in his heart, wore silk and ate delicious delicacies.What he talks about on weekdays is not about whoring, but about gambling, spending time and drinking, making endless troubles, seeing people evil, and flowers seeing flowers dying.

But he is also a true knight.With a noble and upright spirit, facing the injustices in the world, everyone is happy in the wind and rain, and he is the most happiest person in the world!

During those days in Plum Blossom Academy, Yuan Shangqiu coaxed and tricked him to sneak out, and Ye Jianqing was always waiting for them under the fence outside the academy.There is nothing to add to the time spent, and it is called happiness to have such a day, even if it is a patchwork of time.

Perhaps it was because Canglan was honest and knew etiquette, and he despised life and valued righteousness. Perhaps the more he was born in a wealthy family, rich and noble, without any setbacks, the more he would be so generous to beg for death so easily.

"Okay!" The two prison guards stopped the torture stick after Zuo Fengmian yelled loudly, panting with exhaustion, one of them went to Yuan Shangqiu to check his breath, and said, "My lord, this person has passed away."

Zuo Fengmian looked at Zhao Nanxing, his expression was gloomy, as if he was about to cry, he raised his head and called the secretary office: "Bring in the confession and put it in charge for Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Nanxing was still prostrate on the ground, and the secretary put the chopping board with the confession on his right hand, and opened an ink pad box.

"Lord Zuo, you remind me of a fragrant pear that my aunt gave me when I was playing at my aunt's house when I was three years old." Zhao Nanxing suddenly said lightly, "That fragrant pear is so sweet that I have always been reluctant to eat it. I went home and gave it to my mother to eat. Mother took a knife to cut open the fragrant pear and laughed. It turned out that the pear looked bright and not damaged at all, but the inside was rotten. Mr. Zuo, you are like that fragrant pear."

Zuo Fengmian couldn't catch his eyes with a smile, looked up at the beams of the house, and said casually: "Mr. Zhao knew that Lu Lang was pregnant with oranges when he was three years old. You are a true filial son!"

Zhao Nanxing dipped his thumb in the blood on the ground and made a fingerprint on the confession.

Drifting in the sea of ​​evil, the injustice of the previous life is judged in this life.

Zuo Fengmian was moved when he saw how straightforward he was, and sighed, "It's a pity. Mr. Zhao, do you know what it was like when I first met you? I think you are very familiar and kind. You are another incense stick. pear."

Li Zhiwei and the Book Office and Prison Department of Yangzhou Prefecture were still pushing Pai Gow, but no one came to greet them at [-]:[-] noon.The master went out to order the banquet and never came back.He was hungry, angry and nauseous, with sour water in his mouth, and said loudly, "Is there anyone else outside? Are they all dead?"

"Lord Li, what are your orders?" Zuo Fengmian walked in with a smile on his face, and a group of guards with swords and halberds rushed in behind him.

The three of them suddenly felt something was wrong, they all stood up, and Li Zhiwei said with a smile: "Master Zuo, what is the meaning of this?"

Zuo Fengmian laughed and said: "Pei Yongzhen's party members were dismissed for investigation and sent to Beijing to await trial under the order to search Princess Zhenguo's mansion."

Li Zhiwei fell on the chair, his face was pale, and he howled, "I'm wronged~ I'm wronged~"

When the Xuzhou Mansion was completely wiped out, Pei Yongzhen also blew himself up to death in Jinling's Huiliu Villa.

After the turbulent waves passed, Pei Zhaoye and Gu Tingrang stared on the broken bridge, and the entire Duyue Hall sank to the bottom of the lake, turning into a pile of underwater ruins.

Ye Jianqing fainted on the ground after seeing the scene of blood flying everywhere.Pei Zhaoye ordered his confidants to put him in a good place, and when he turned to face Gu Tingrang, there was hesitation in his eyes.

Although Gu Tingrang is middle-aged in the human world, his eyes are bright and bright, and his temples are protruding outwards, so he can tell at a glance that he is a master of the inner family.At this time, he smiled faintly, he knew that Pei Zhaoye was dissatisfied with him for forcing the death of Zhen Guo Princess, he would not be able to deal with the emperor after returning, and he did not know the whereabouts of the yellow book.

"Prince Duan, don't worry. The baby is at the bottom of Xiaojing Lake. The agency was originally set up in Duyue Hall, but now it has been destroyed by Pei Yongzhen. We just have to find a way."

Pei Zhaoye frowned when he heard this, and said, "How do you know that things are at the bottom of the lake?"

Gu Tingrang said with a smile: "I saw Pei Yongzhen enter this Duyue Hall alone several times. I sneaked in, but there was no one there. So I hid in the willow tree by the embankment, and only saw Pei Yongzhen come out at night. This water pavilion is completely empty. The second floor is transparent on all sides, so no one can hide. The secret room must be at the bottom of the lake, but the mechanism is set on the Duyue Hall. Now things are simple, open the sluice gate of Tongyang Lake in the village, and let the water go. , and drain the rest, you can always find the entrance.”

Pei Zhaoye nodded and said, "Mr. Lao Gu is here."

After a lot of tossing, at noon the next day, the water in Xiaojing Lake was only a shallow layer, which reached everyone's knees.The mud at the bottom of the lake is full of lively koi.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Look over there!"

Pei and Gu looked towards the shore of the lake on the side of the small stone bridge, and there was a small hole in the embankment made of big stones, and it was so dark that the depth could not be seen clearly. "I'll go check it out," Gu Tingrang floated across the broken bridge without saying a word.Hold on to the cracks in the stone and look inside.After a while, he returned to the Broken Bridge and said with a smile: "It's done, it's here. There is a door in there, and the mechanism in the Yueyue Hall is for opening this door. Take the explosives and blow it open."

Then there was another rush, and when it was almost evening, there was only a sound of heaven and earth cracking, and even the old Guanyin Liu on the bank trembled several times.

After the dust cleared, a few guards shouted, "The door has exploded." As they spoke, they stood up and ventured in.

Pei and Gu looked at each other with joy on their faces.The two waited for another cup of tea, and one of the guards who went in came out, climbed up the entrance of the cave, and shouted loudly to the people on the bridge: "There is a secret room inside. I haven't found the mechanism yet, so it should be safe."

Gu Tingrang did not dare to put His Royal Highness Duan Wang in danger, so he took the lead.The two of them walked along the aisle with the torch in the hands of the person in front.There is still slowly flowing water under the feet, and the stone wall above the head is also dripping, which looks like an ancient dark river.

After walking for a while, the passage widened, and a pure gold door suddenly appeared in front of it, shining brightly under the torch.

"This secret room was carved out of stone walls, and the four sides were then closed with walls made of gold for waterproofing."

What a golden house!Filled with curiosity, Pei Zhaoye stepped into the secret room.There is an altar table, several rows of bookshelves, and three paintings on the wall, which are spotless.

Gu Tingrang stepped behind the bookshelf and buried himself in searching.However, Pei Zhaoye walked to the altar table, on which there were melon and fruit offerings, which were fresh and unspoiled, so they should have been offered recently.There are three paintings on the wall, from right to left, the first one is a man in white walking across the sky with a sword, overlooking the mountains and rivers.The second picture shows two people, one green and one black, one dances a sword under the pine, and the other plays the piano a month ago.The third picture is also two people, but it has been changed to a man and a woman, riding a camel together, trekking through the sand dunes, and traveling in Guanshan.

Pei Zhaoye stood still in front of the three portraits.

Sure enough, Gu Tingrang found twelve yellow books on the bookshelf, walked over to Pei Zhaoye with a smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness Duan Wang, you've accomplished a great job. Your Majesty will definitely reward you after you return to Beijing."

A sense of disobedience surged in Pei Zhaoye's heart, but he couldn't explain it for a while.His imperial aunt died, the former treasure of the Great Zhou Dynasty fell, and Ye Jianqing, Marquis of Anning, was dead. I don't know how many families will be involved in this case, and how many lives will be lost, so there is nothing to celebrate.He took the yellow book, flipped through it casually, handed it to the guards around him, and said lightly to Gu Tingrang: "Thank you very much. Mr. Gu has made great contributions, and Zhaoye will definitely tell his father when he returns to Beijing."

After saying this, he turned to look at the paintings on the wall.Gu Tingrang followed his gaze, glanced a few times, and said with a smile: "Is Your Highness curious? Why did Pei Yongzhen hide these few paintings in the Golden House?"

Pei Zhaoye wondered, "Mr. Gu knows the person in this painting?"

Gu Tingrang raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Have you heard about Princess Zhen Guo's childhood?"

Pei Zhaoye thought for a while and said: "There are folk rumors that when she was a child, the emperor's aunt was smuggled out of the palace by gangsters, raised among the people, and only returned to the palace when she was in high school. Is this true?" So bold to go to the palace to steal people, and the ones who stole are still golden branches and jade leaves.It's fine if you steal it, but let it back when you raise it?What exactly is the picture?

Gu Tingrang said with a smile: "The rumors are true. This first painting is the sound of white geese from the former Cheng Xuanwu Emperor. It was he who ordered people to steal the infant Princess Zhenguo out of the palace. His purpose of stealing people is Take the princess as a hostage and save his direct grandson." He paused here and looked around for a while.

Pei Zhaoye knew that he wanted to tell the secrets of the royal family, but he was worried about people, so he said to the people around him: "Go outside and plug your ears."

Gu Tingrang waited for the people to leave, and then said to Pei Zhaoye: "The grandson of his direct relative is the man in Tsing Yi who is playing the piano in the second painting, and his name is Meng Qing. But there is another name in the world, Pei Qing, in the name of Emperor Taizong." His younger brother, he was named Marquis of Changle during Zhaoren's reign."

Pei Zhaoye trembled unknowingly, because he also had the word "qing" in his name, so he looked at the person in the painting a few more times, but he was indescribably kind and loving.He was confused and didn't want Gu Tingrang to see it, so he pointed to another man in black on the painting and said, "Who is this?"

Gu Tingrang changed his respectful face at this time, and said solemnly: "This is my benefactor, Xie Shi Xie Dongshan, a descendant of Jiangdong's famous family, who was the prime minister of Zhaoren years. He saved my life more than 20 years ago and taught me a few things. Hand martial arts. With these martial arts, Pei Yongzhen was calmed down yesterday. However, he did not accept me as his apprentice, I was lying to Pei Yongzhen."

Pei Zhaoye thought to himself that 20 years ago, their family was still in the feudal domain and had never entered Beijing. Pei Yongzhen once said that his father started planning 20 years ago. Is this what he meant?

"Shortly after the princess was stolen, Emperor Taizong exiled Pei Qing and found an excuse to turn him into a commoner. Since then, the princess has been brought up by Pei Qing and Xie Shi, raised in the extreme north, teaching martial arts, love Same father and daughter. Ten years later, when Pei Qing died, Xie Shi waited for the princess to grow up and let her go back to Ganjing Palace. Taizong was pleasantly surprised and bestowed the title of Princess Zhenguo."

Pei Zhaoye suddenly realized that it was no wonder that his father liked to wear green clothes when he was still the clan of the vassal. This was completely flattering Princess Zhenuo!He thought that once Pei Zhan came to the throne, he would never see him wearing blue clothes for more than ten years, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Gu Tingrang looked at the third painting, and continued: "These two are brothers and sisters of the princess. One is Gu Xiyuan and the other is Su Ying. They got married later. I don't know if these two have children. The people in these three paintings are all extinct. They are all a sect called the Snow Mountain School, which was founded in the Luofu Mountains in the far north. There is a saying: Luofu Mountain, the Lingxiao Palace, and a tree together. But Whether there is such a place, I have never been to it.”

Take all three paintings with you.There was a voice in Pei Zhaoye's heart saying.He wanted to do it, so he raised his hand to reveal the first painting, Gu Tingrang said in a broken voice, "No!"

Before the words fell, just as his hand touched the scroll, there was only a sizzle sound, thousands of feathered arrows had been shot from the top of his head, Gu Tingrang's eyes were sharp, and he pulled his sleeve, and the two of them had already rolled under the altar.

In the blink of an eye, the ground was full of arrows. After the rain of arrows, the portrait of the man in white slowly floated down and landed in front of the altar.

The guards guarding the gate outside heard the voice inside and rushed in.

Pei Zhaoye said under the altar: "I'm fine." He was about to go out when Gu Ting asked him to pull his sleeves and winked at him.Pei Zhaoye took the painting on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and said to the soldiers who came in: "You take off the two paintings on the wall."

A soldier who was not afraid of death and was driven by curiosity strode forward, picking up the second painting with a spear in his hand.Hearing an intense yell, a long spear suddenly flew out from the front, piercing through the heart of the person who unveiled the painting, and nailing it to the door made of gold far away.

The second painting floated down slowly.

Gu Tingrang put it away, looked at the terrified soldiers outside, and said seductively, "I've exhausted all the tricks, and the treasure is behind the third painting. Let's see who of you can make extraordinary achievements."

Those people hesitated to move forward, their faces pale.Pei Zhaoye got impatient and used someone else as a raft, crawled out from under the altar, and said loudly, "I'll do it!"

His Royal Highness Duan wanted to come in person, but Gu Tingrang had no choice but to follow.Standing by the side, if there is an accident, you will reach out to block it, and sacrifice your life to protect the master or something.

Pei Zhaoye clasped his hands together, saluted first, and took the sword around his waist to pick the third painting.

Nothing happened, the painting just floated down.There is a recessed grid on the back of the painting, and a sandalwood box is placed inside.Gu Tingrang reached out to take it, fearing that there might be traps, so he opened it first to have a look.

Inside there is only a cyan round jade bi, on which are engraved two small characters of "Chang Le" in seal script, and a brown mark on the jade bi.

Gu Tingrang wept with joy, seeing this jade bi was even more ecstatic than seeing Pei Yongzhen die yesterday and getting the yellow book today: "This is the Jade Bi of Changle, Your Majesty, I finally found it."

The author has something to say: In the next chapter, a thousand miles away will relieve the vastness of the heart
