Lintai Storm Record

Chapter 1 is also saved. (11)

It.

The prime minister frowned fiercely, pressed his forehead resignedly, and thought to himself: What is wrong with this world.

A slender figure appeared outside the study door, and a woman's soft and delicate voice sounded after knocking on the door: "Master Xiang, it's time to drink ginseng soup."

Feeling relieved, Li Yeyuan hurriedly called Zijin in, after drinking the soup and meat, he followed the young concubine back to the room to sleep, passing Song Qianzhi's room, he frowned and stood quietly for a while.

Standing outside the door of this room for a while, Zi Jin felt his heart throbbing.

That day when she took a look through the crack of the door, she was almost scared out of her wits. She still remembered the young man who was sent to Yan Licheng's couch by them.During this day, she also figured out that the man was actually a relative of the Empress Dowager, with a distinguished status and a Beijing official.

Zijin's eyelids twitched and she stroked Li Yeyuan's chest with her hand, and coquettishly dragged him back to the room.

That night, in the same small courtyard, in different rooms, everyone handled their own affairs.

Under the hazy moonlight, after the lights were turned off, Song Qianzhi gnawed on Lu Guan's shoulder while crying softly, finally relieved the oppression in his chest, and fell asleep exhausted.

Lu Guan carefully removed the hands and feet wrapped around his body, and poured warm water.Song Qianzhi has always disliked sticky body, but he is lazy, he is always too lazy to move after work, opening his eyelids is considered a compliment.

Song Qianzhi glanced at Lu Guan, then closed his eyes, only knowing that his body was refreshed and clean again, when the bed beside him sank slightly, he turned over and held the Dinghaishen needle in his arms, so that he could sleep well sleep well.

☆, Upheaval ([-])

In a few days, the news of Songzhou Army Cao Sunyi's self-proclaimed king came back to the capital, and the ruling and opposition parties were shocked by it.Xunzhou was first occupied by the Heidi Army, and Zhizhou Liu Zhixing was unable to cross Songzhou to the north to ask for help from the northern army in Qizhou Town. After holding Xunzhou for half a month, he had no choice but to ask Sun Yi for help.

Sun Yi sent an envoy to ask Liu Zhixing to open the north gate of the city to welcome the Songzhou garrison into the city.At this time, Songzhou had changed its city name to Li, changed the 32 counties under the original Songzhou to a prefecture, and named the country Song.The envoy made a request to Liu Zhixing that he must destroy the confession issued by the Great Chu court and lead the entire city's soldiers and civilians to surrender to Song.

Liu Zhixing detained the envoy, and surrendered to Sun Yi two days later in the north-south attack. Sun Yi immediately issued an edict to appoint Liu Zhixing as the prefect of Xunzhou, and incorporated the Xunzhou garrison and Xunzhou local warriors to form an army of ten thousand people. Di army.

It was late March, and the weather was getting warmer, but on March [-]th, a cold spring came suddenly. In the afternoon of that day, the whole capital city was shrouded in dark clouds, and it was only at the end of the day.

The strong wind slammed the doors and windows.

Song Qianzhi stood under the corridor and watched for a while, then wrapped his body tightly in a cloak, someone behind him approached and put on an oil coat for him, Lu Guan took his hand and wiped Song Qianzhi's eyelashes with his fingertips. of rain and fog.

"Come back for dinner tonight."

Song Qianzhi hummed.

Not far away, there is a group of more than ten people, all of whom are servants.Sun Xiu came out of Li Yeyuan's room, followed by the doctor from the Imperial Hospital.

It has been ten days since Li Yeyuan complained of illness and was unable to go to court. The day after Song Qianzhi went to the Ministry of Punishment to look for Yao Liangyun, Li Xiang couldn't get sick and said he has been ill ever since.

The eunuch in front of Fu Mingshao came to visit with the doctor from the imperial hospital, firstly to show the emperor's kindness, and secondly to see if Li Yeyuan was really sick or fake.

Song Qianzhi looked back at Lu Guan.

Fu Mingshao only summoned Song Qianzhi into the palace, but did not summon Lu Guan. The servants were there. Song Qianzhi originally wanted to warn Lu Guan not to be too intimate.But thinking about it again, since Lu Guan had convinced Fu Mingshao that he was lying in front of him, and he knew that Zhou Xian kidnapped Li Xuan, but he didn't tell.Then, Fu Mingshao would naturally guess that Zhou Xian and Song Qianzhi wore a pair of trousers.

Lu Guan behaved intimately with him, and was reported to Fu Mingshao. He would only think that this was Lu Guan trying to get Li Xuan's whereabouts. Even if he had doubts, in a few days, when there was evidence, everything would be settled. reasonable explanation.

Fu Mingshao is suspicious by nature, indecisive in doing things, very concerned about gains and losses, and easily indecisive in front of major events.It was precisely because of his temperament that Lu Guan knew better than Song Qian how to relax Fu Mingshao's vigilance.

"Later, you can go to the kitchen and ask if there are any little yellow croakers." Song Qianzhi said suddenly.

Lu Guan was stunned for a moment, seeing Song Qianzhi said relaxedly, "Fry a dozen sticks and dip them in salt and pepper powder, will you do it?"

"No, you can learn." Lu Guanrou said softly, plucked Song Qianzhi's earlobe, bowed his head and whispered something in his ear.

From where Sun Xiu was standing, only half of Song Qianzhi's face could be seen blushing, he glared at Lu Guan with a half-smile, pursed his lips, and walked into the rain with his umbrella open.

Sun Xiu hurriedly led people to follow.

·

There are four rooms and a small courtyard with a kitchen. When it rains, there are leaks everywhere. Zhou first found out all the pots that can be used in the house to catch the leaks, but it was not enough.

"It's raining!"

Liu Pingwen didn't keep an eye on it, Li Xuan broke free from his hand and rushed into the rain.Liu Pingwen groaned, and was about to chase after him when Xu Ruiyun grabbed his hand and put it in his arms.

"Hands so cold?"

Liu Pingwen wanted to pull his hand out, but he was embarrassed. He blushed, bit his lip and looked at Li Xuan worriedly.

"Let him go wild, he's crazy." Having been in contact with Li Xuan for so long, Xu Ruiyun didn't think that this lunatic would get better, and often called him "lunatic" in front of Li Xuan, but Li Xuan didn't understand and was stupid to him Hehehe is happy, now whoever calls him "lunatic" he turns to look, thinking he is calling him.

Liu Pingwen sighed, the rain was slowly flowing in his sight, he blinked his eyes, thinking of his father, Xunzhou, and his two elder brothers, he never received a single letter he wrote to his father reply.He went to the street the day before yesterday and heard about Nanmian's news, and when he came back, he made a fuss at Xu Ruiyun, but was violently suppressed by Xu Ruiyun, who woke him up by scolding him severely.After scolding, that night, Xu Ruiyun got into his bed.

Liu Pingwen stared at Xu Ruiyun almost in horror, his mouth was covered, and Xu Ruiyun clasped his hands together, making it difficult to break free.

As a result, Xu Ruiyun just chattered a bunch of words, and his tone became softer and softer. Liu Pingwen listened with half horror and half surprise, and only understood one sentence.

"I love you as a daughter-in-law. You should study hard and get a good grade. My brother will help you study. If you want to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, we will separate, will it work?"

Liu Pingwen did not agree.

To be precise, he was so frightened, Xu Ruiyun repeatedly told him not to bark when he let go of his mouth, but he did not bark.I was so frightened that I couldn't think of calling it molestation.

Recalling the little things along the way from Songzhou to the capital, after arriving in the capital, Xu Ruiyun took care of him, even if he ate a crab, he would tear his legs apart. Occasionally, the robes also take care of each other.It's not that Liu Pingwen hasn't seen other people's masculinity, and he also knows that marrying a daughter-in-law requires separation, or not marrying a daughter-in-law, and not letting others know. They just live together, let others gossip, let them gossip, and live on their own.

Liu Pingwen didn't sleep all night, and changed his mind the next day. He told Xu Ruiyun to give it a try.At that time, Xu Ruiyun's steamed bun fell into a bowl of porridge, and the rice soup splashed on his beard. He foolishly asked Liu Pingwen if it was real.

Liu Pingwen didn't want to talk to him and ate breakfast by himself.During the day, he and Zhou Xian still do their laundry. He was not allowed to wash Zhou Xian's clothes, but Zhou Xian is obviously very busy these days.They moved out from Xu San's house and lived in a low-level civilian area. The alley smelled like garbage, especially at night, and they got used to it after smelling it for a long time.

Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan also did not come.

On the day he left Xu San's house, Liu Pingwen found that the beautiful girl Zhou Xian had brought back had also left, and wanted to ask, but Zhou Xian didn't dare to ask because of his bad complexion.

He and Xu Ruiyun were together, and felt that they were under the same roof, so he should talk to Zhou Xian.

As a result, when washing clothes that day, Xu Ruiyun divided Zhou Xian's robes into another basin, and left Zhou Xian by the well.

Zhou Xian understood everything when he came back at night, and went out to buy an extra half a catty of sauced beef and a catty of high-quality rice wine for the two of them to celebrate.

Xu Ruiyun was so happy, he patted his chest and agreed to let Liu Pingwen wash Zhou Xian's clothes.

Zhou Xian did not agree.

That night, Zhou Xian got drunk like mud.

Li Xuan was lying on the side of the small pool in the yard watching the fish. As he watched, his upper body stretched forward more and more. His elbows were originally propped on the wall of the pool. When the moss slipped, he suddenly fell to the ground Into the pool.

Liu Pingwen jumped up in shock, and was forced to sit down by Xu Ruiyun. Xu Ruiyun scolded and jumped into the pond to fish for people. The pond was not deep, square in length and width, and there was a small rockery with rich cyan color inside.

Li Xuan was startled, with a pale face, Xu Ruiyun scolded him for half an hour.

Zhou Xian went to invite a doctor, and the doctor prescribed a prescription for wind and cold, and when he sent the boy back to get the medicine, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Xian, "You friend, are you out of your mind?"

Zhou Xian stared at him warily.

The doctor shrank his neck: "I'll just ask, just ask, it doesn't mean anything else."

Zhou Xian put away his murderous intentions, hummed, and replied in an uncommon tone: "The faults brought out in the mother's womb, I have been stupid since I was a child. Our brothers came to the capital from the countryside two years ago to join my uncle, and my uncle left soon after. I have no relatives in the capital, and I can’t go back to my hometown.”

The doctor sighed: "The world is chaotic, don't leave, just live in the capital first. This house is..."

Zhou Xian lied, saying that the house was left by his uncle.

The doctor chatted with him for a while, and when the medicine came, the doctor asked the boy to stay and help decoct the medicine.

·

When we arrived at the palace, it was already dark to the point where lights were lit everywhere, and it was still early in the night, and the rain had been heavy, and nothing could be heard clearly except for the sound of wind and rain.Sun Xiu lit the lantern and took Song Qianzhi to see the Queen Mother of Zhou first.

Song Qianzhi felt that the direction was wrong, so he stopped Sun Xiuwen.

Sun Xiu laughed warmly, and replied: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the little Marquis who has not seen Mrs. Anding Hou for several days, and specially allowed you to go and see Mrs. Madam first."

The last time Song Qian went to see Zhou Wanxin in the palace was five days ago, when Zhou Wanxin was a little bit cold, so it would be nice if he could go and have a look.

However, when Song Qianzhi saw Zhou Wanxin, all the blood on his face faded away.

Song Lanmei called his name, and on the couch lay a woman with loose hair and a face like gold paper, Zhou Wanxin was in a deep sleep.

"Third brother." Song Lanmei gently tugged at the corner of Song Qianzhi's clothes, and quickly let go.For some reason, she was a little apprehensive of such a younger brother, Song Qianzhi's profile looked as cold as ice.

Song Qianzhi got up and went outside without saying a word.

Song Lanmei followed out with a gloomy face.

"What face do you put on with me? Is it because of my mother's illness? You don't go back to the house, and my father vents his anger on me all day long. You and mother are light-hearted. How can I be caught in the middle..." Song Lan Regardless of Mei's spiel, Song Qianzhi, who had his back to her, suddenly turned around, causing her to open her mouth in fright.

"What's wrong with mother?" Song Qianzhi asked.

"How do I know? This afternoon, someone came to the palace suddenly to send me a message, asking me to enter the palace to serve the sick. It's still an old problem. Isn't mother always like this?" Song Lanmei asked Song Qianzhi with eyes wide open while pulling a handkerchief boredly. , "It's you, why did you come here suddenly? If you have something to do with your mother, just wait. Just after taking the medicine, the imperial doctor said that you should sleep for an hour at least. It's raining anyway, so I'll take you to the side hall for a meeting?"

"I still have business to do. I will meet the emperor first. If my mother wakes up, you can ask Jiang Meng to send someone to give me a message."

Song Lanmei curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "Understood, our third younger brother is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and everyone has to serve him in a proper manner."

Although Song Qianzhi and Song Lanmei have the same mother, they are two years apart. After Song Lanmei got married, they had to go back to their natal family every now and then.Ever since Song Lanmei was sensible, she didn't like this younger brother very much, just because her legendary grandfather would ask Zhou Wanxin to take Song Qianzhi back to see him every time, never mentioning his granddaughter.

On the contrary, it was the old lady of the Song family who loved Song Lanmei very much.

When she was young, Song Lanmei heard from her grandmother that her grandfather was so important to Da Chu and how famous she was, but there was only one problem, that she favored sons over daughters and did not love her granddaughter.At that time, the old lady hugged Song Lanmei on her lap, teased her with a rattle, and said with a smile: "It's okay, your grandfather doesn't love this little granddaughter, grandma loves you. Grandma loves our daughter."

Song Lanmei knew at the age of seven that she would no longer be attached to her mother, and Zhou Wanxin wanted to take him back to Zhou's house, but she always said no.

As Song Qianzhi got older and saw more in the palace, he gradually realized that his second sister didn't like him, but his daughter's family had complicated thoughts, and his sister would marry sooner or later.At that time, although Marquis Anding had a title, he had no official position in the court. The entire Song family was gradually supported by Song Qianzhi's entry into Lintai.At the age of 14, Song Qianzhi went to Zhuangzi in Quzhou to collect rent every year instead of his father to appease the tenants.The next year, he became the secretary and the governor of the province. He secretly paved the way for Fu Ming and Shao Mingli. Most of the things in his hands were shady things, and he became more and more alienated from his family. Staying in Lintai, if Zhou Wanxin was not still living in Andinghou's mansion at that time, Song Qianzhi would have liked to sleep in the yamen every day.

Sun Xiu led Song Qianzhi to the Nuan Pavilion, and made a gesture to signal Song Qianzhi to go up.

The two palace servants pushed open the door, bowed their heads and lowered their hands to move to the sides.

There was a woman in the Nuan Pavilion who was talking to Fu Mingshao in a low voice. When she heard footsteps, the woman stopped her mouth quickly and looked over curiously. She only took one look, and quickly lowered her eyes. She was surprised. She had never seen such a beautiful woman before. man.When I wanted to take another look, I heard the emperor asked her to step back first.

The woman was a little displeased, she still bowed her head and bowed, then retreated.

When the footsteps were far away, Fu Mingshao raised his hand suddenly.

The soup cup on the table fell to the ground with a bang and smashed to pieces. Fu Mingshao supported the table with his hands, his face was blue, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared fiercely at the soup cup that had been broken into countless pieces, wishing to go up Stepped on two feet.

According to the etiquette, when the emperor was angry, Song Qianzhi should kneel on the ground, and he respectfully pressed his forehead to the ground, unable to see Fu Mingshao's vicious eyes staring at him, panting continuously.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Song Qianzhi said loudly.

Sun Xiu came in from the outside and only took half a step when Fu Mingshao shouted angrily, "Get out!"

Sun Xiu retreated tremblingly.

"Song Qianzhi, are you guilty?" Fu Mingshao asked coldly.

Song Qianzhi didn't look up, nor did he answer.

Fu Mingshao gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you say that the two states were very effective in fighting Heidi, and that Liu Zhixing's training in martial arts was enough to put down the rebellion. How is it now?"

Song Qianzhi raised his head, but before he could make a sound, he was hit by dozens of pages of military newspapers.

He picked up the military newspaper from the ground and looked down at ten lines. Song Qianzhi's face was expressionless, and he was very calm: this day has finally come.

In the military newspaper, the spies sent by Fu Mingshao personally investigated the detailed situation of Song and Xun prefectures after Sun Yi occupied Song prefecture.

Songzhou never sent troops to suppress the rebellion in the upper reaches of the Longhe River, and Xunzhou failed to retreat the enemy smoothly.

More importantly, in this military newspaper, it is clearly stated that it was not Heidi's army that invaded the two southern border states, but two former subordinates of Liu Yun. His commanding sword was used as evidence, so without any doubt, he dressed up as a Heidi soldier according to the order, imitated the marching style of the Heidi people, and attacked Songzhou and Xunzhou.

"Father's sword, isn't it in your hands? I trust you so much, you let me down so much. What kind of benefits did my elder brother promise you, let you lie to me!"

The rain suddenly became heavier, rushing on the roof with a loud splash, which momentarily drowned out Fu Mingshao's voice.

Even though I knew this day was coming, it was still too soon.At this moment, Song Qianzhi suddenly felt flustered. He inadvertently thought of what Lu Guan said before going out, "Come back for dinner tonight."

☆, upheaval (pick up four)

It had been raining all day, the door was wide open, and abundant moisture filled the hall.

Lu Guan was holding a book in his hand. He had been reading this book for two hours and only read less than ten pages.The rainwater flowed down the eaves, pierced into strings of crystal beads, fell down in a patter, and hit the ground, stirring up dust.

A person came hurriedly outside the door, Lu Guan practiced martial arts, his hearing was very good, his eyes were glued to the pages of the book, and he didn't read a word in his heart.

The housekeeper stopped at the door, then stepped into the room, and said to Lu Guan: "Master Lu, please come over."

Lu Guan raised his eyebrows, walked to the housekeeper, turned his head and asked, "Is there a small yellow croaker in the kitchen today?"

The butler was taken aback: "...Yes."

Mr. Lu walked away cheerfully. Before the housekeeper had time to ask him why he asked this question, he thought, besides eating, what else could he do?Lao Luo walked along the corridor, and within a few steps, he met a servant. He asked the servant to go to the kitchen and give instructions, saying that he would make small yellow croakers for dinner.

Li Yeyuan was only wearing white single clothes and a black cloak, leaning against the side of the couch, putting down a notebook, and grabbing another from the small table at hand, with a wolf hair in his hand, frowning, with a stern expression .

The young and beautiful aunt waited on the bedside, and half of the white jade spoon was filled with honey-yellow soup, and half filled with crystal clear pear cubes.

Li Yeyuan held the pear in his mouth with her hand, and after approving a portion, his cheeks moved up and down. At the same time, he looked at Lu Guan, signaling him to find a place to sit with his eyes.

Zijin lowered his eyes, but the spoon made a crisp sound in the bowl, followed by three or four slight bumps.The sound was covered by the sound of rain, so it was not noticeable at all.But Li Yeyuan saw it, frowned strangely, moved his gaze up, and saw that Zijin's neck and face turned red rapidly, especially the earballs, which were so red that they seemed to drip blood.

Li Yeyuan glanced at Lu Guan, and said the words to the concubine.

"Zi Jin, you didn't sleep well last night, go catch up on sleep, I'll ask someone to wake you up during dinner."

As if being pardoned, Zi Jin hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, not daring to raise her head when she saluted Lu Guan.Her heart was beating like a drum, her breathing became hot, she accidentally tripped on the threshold, quickly grabbed the door frame, and with the help of the maid, she left Li Yeyuan's bedroom with a panicked back, almost escaping.

"What is Xiangye looking for me for?"

Lu Guan spoke directly, he didn't ask questions about his health, and he refused to say a word of politeness.

"It's raining really hard today. It's the first heavy rain since the beginning of spring. Did you hear the thunder just now?"

Lu Guan's eyes moved: "If you have something to say, you may as well speak up."

The corners of Li Yeyuan's lips twitched, and he said with a smile, "If it was Chasing Stars, he wouldn't ask this question."

Lu Guan's expression softened.

"In the court, I was always the one who sang against Qin Yuning. At that time, Zhou Taifu was still there, and that boy Qin Yuning was often pissed off by me, but he was honest, and he couldn't say a lot of things. He was often reprimanded by the first emperor."

Lu Guan didn't understand what Li Yeyuan was going to say, and he was thinking about the little yellow croaker Song Qianzhi wanted to eat, and his brows showed impatience.

"At that time, [-]% of the officials who were able to enter the Chengyuan Hall to discuss matters were the disciples of the Son of Heaven. Seventy percent of them were disciples who went to the residence of Taifu Zhou. The book is also regarded as his student."

Hearing Taifu Zhou, Lu Guan became serious.

Li Yeyuan said: "In the end, even the crown prince became Taifu Zhou's student."

Lu Guan stared at Li Yeyuan intently, and the voice of Luoyu became more and more deafening. Li Yeyuan seemed to be really sick and lacked energy. Lu Guan had to work hard to distinguish what he said.

"The person who really wants to punish Liu Yun is not the late emperor, but the Grand Tutor." Li Yeyuan said, coughing twice, a silk handkerchief in his hand, the color of lotus root.

"Such a confidential matter, you must want to know why I would know." Li Yeyuan shook his head, "I was not there, let alone anyone who bribed the imperial court. At that time, my official position was not high, and I could barely enter the Chengyuan Hall.

"All the Beijing officials who were in the court when Liu Yun was exiled knew about this incident. I don't know where the rumors spread. At first, it was spread in the palace, but later the news seemed to have grown feet. Even the officials from the outer court Officials, even a servant who cleans the offices of the six ministries know about it."

"Someone spread it on purpose?" Lu Guan could only guess.

"Of course it is." Li Yeyuan looked at Lu Guan appreciatively, "Let's guess again, who spread it."

"The first emperor." Lu Guan did not hesitate this time.

"Why?"

"During Rongzong's reign, the management of the imperial servants was very strict. Anyone who violated the tongue and tongue had to take off a layer of skin, goug out his eyes, dig out his bones, peel his skin, smash his kneecaps, and imprison him until death. Fu decided that the meeting place can only be in the Chengyuan Hall, and the attendants in the Chengyuan Hall have received the most rigorous training and will never make such a stupid mistake. It can only be ordered by the master to settle the matter. out."

"That's right. At that time, there was a fourth-rank military officer under Liu Yun. When he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he asked someone to assassinate Zhou Taifu. Zhou Taifu was slightly injured, but his arm was scratched. The late emperor was furious, beheaded the military officer, and ransacked his house. , both men and women were spared, and became slaves. This man had saved Liu Yun’s life in the army. On the day he was beheaded, the late emperor asked Qilin guards to escort him to watch the ceremony near the execution ground.”

Lu Guan's lips moved.

"What do you want to say?" Li Yeyuan noticed.

"No, Mr. Xiang, please continue."

Li Yeyuan said: "Two days later, Liu Yun's family was exiled from the capital. Yuqian also disposed of a young eunuch, but his name was not kept, and the palace attendant has always had a life like nothing. It's just the youngest child in Yuqian, who has never been seen again since. Showed up, he looked 14 at most."

Lu Guan felt cold hands and feet for no reason, and there was no cup of tea on the table, so he could only hold his hands tightly.

"The first emperor's love for the Empress Dowager Zhou and his respect for the Taifu Zhou are unquestionable, so the prince was just born, and he sat on the position of the crown prince. Looking at his ancestral system, he was also the first prince who was established as the crown prince. Seal the crown prince."

"Master Xiang, you might as well just say it straight."

Li Yeyuan had a regretful expression on his face. He tilted his head, leaned on the soft pillow behind him, and looked at the door in the distance.He shouldn't have said these words, speaking with the doors and windows wide open.Because of the heavy rain, the sound of the rain covered up their conversation.

"I just suddenly remembered that these days I don't go to court, and I'm tired from lying down. This old bone is about to fail." Li Yeyuan looked away and looked back at Lu Guan, "Nephew Song Xian has entered the palace?"

Lu Guan hummed.What Li Yeyuan said to him was definitely not without intention. What did he mean by not pointing it out?

Just when Lu Guan thought about it, Li Yeyuan said something that made Lu Guan's heart skip a beat in an understatement: "Nephew Song Xian has the support of the Queen Mother, and is the only grandson of Taifu Zhou. He is an extremely human minister, and it is only a matter of time."

The sound of rain suddenly rushed into his ears, and Lu Guan saw Li Yeyuan smiling slightly, looking at him warmly.

Lu Guan clenched his fists and got up abruptly, but Li Yeyuan didn't make a sound to stop him.

Lu Guan went out on the front foot, and the housekeeper came in on the back foot. Before he could speak, he saw his master say with a blank expression: "If Mr. Lu wants to go out, let him ride the fastest horse."

·

It was completely dark, not the black with a gloomy luster when it rained, but the black of night.

Song Qianzhi's face was itchy, he quickly patted it with his hand, and caught a hard shell. Suddenly, he thought of what it was, and quickly relaxed his palm, not to slap the thing on his face.

The black worm fell to the ground and crawled into the straw in the blink of an eye. There was only a glimmer of candle light in it, and the worm escaped.

Song Qianzhi said, if it wasn't for the young master's quick reaction, he would almost be disfigured.

He touched the bridge of his nose, thinking that he had just touched a worm, and quickly wiped the place he just touched with his sleeve.

This place is very quiet, there is a person curled up next door, his body is dirty to death, the smell of blood shows that he has been beaten, look at his curled up posture, the shoes are still on his feet, it doesn't look like he has been tortured, his arms are crossed, like a Big pumpkin.The coarse cloth clothes on his body were originally off-white, but now they are close to black, with many welt marks crossing them.

I don't know when the rain stopped. When it rained, the whole cell was so noisy that it seemed to be flooded with rainwater. After the rain stopped, it was so quiet that people couldn't help but breathe easily.

Song Qianzhi heard the buzzing of flies.

A few flies circled around the curled up man, and tentatively got into the tear in the clothes.

Song Qianzhi withdrew his gaze, sat up cross-legged, and slept for an unknown amount of time, he guessed that at least an hour had passed.There is no air circulation in the cell. This is an imperial prison, which has always been supervised by the Qilin Guards, and the prisoners are also interrogated by the Qilin Guards.What's funny is that when Song Qianzhi came over, he saw the Qilin guards who were locked up here.They were in the west, and Song Qianzhi was locked in the east. It was quiet here, and there was only one fellow prisoner.

Today's guards are the Forbidden Army.

Ordinarily, no one with a third grade can go up, so he is not qualified to enter this cell. Although Song Qianzhi's official rank is not enough, he still has the status of a royal family in it.Who is this guy next door?Song Qianzhi thought about it for a while, but couldn't think of anyone who would be imprisoned recently.

Song Qianzhi leaned against the wall, half-closed his eyes, suddenly, he thought of something.

The man curled up in the straw moved and woke up from a deep sleep. There was no pain in his body, but the long-lasting muscle soreness and various wounds on his body made him very numb.

"Hey."

The man heard someone talking to him, and then smiled, this is not the first time he had this illusion.

The chain clattered against the railing, and the rustling sound of the chain was heard endlessly. The man frowned vigorously, lifted his upper body with difficulty, his arms were still tightly hugged, and his legs kicked on the ground, pushing his shoulders to the ground. Go to the wall, move the buttocks towards the corner, so that I barely have the intention to sit up.

"Who are you?" Song Qianzhi asked. He looked at the man carefully. The man's face was covered with dirt, but he could barely see his facial features. Song Qianzhi definitely didn't know him.

"Who are you?" The man's voice sounded very vicissitudes.

"I asked first, you answered first."

Song Qianzhi's forceful tone made the man shrink his neck, showing a bit of timidity, his eyes wandered, he pursed his lips, a little nervous.

The man still didn't answer, but asked Song Qianzhi a question: "Are you a high official?"

Song Qianzhi remained silent.He didn't speak, the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished, and he kept staring at the injured man.

The man looked at Song Qianzhi suspiciously for a long time, and replied dryly, "Li...my name is Li Fengxiang."

Song Qianzhi's pupils tightened, and he stared at Li Fengxiang for a while without moving. The man in front of him who had obviously suffered a lot of torture turned out to be Lu's husband.

Li Fengxiang sized up Song Qianzhi with tired eyes, and his lips murmured: "Who are you?"

"How did you get hurt?" Song Qianzhi moved to the iron fence separating the two cells, trying to see Li Fengxiang more clearly. A man who accepts all kinds of grievances that come down.

Soon, Song Qianzhi denied this judgment in his heart.

If Li Fengxiang is a man who is easy to compromise and submit, then he will not add new wounds to his old wounds. As long as he does what his interrogator asks, he will either be released or dead. No more torment.

Also, why did Fu Mingshao lock them together? Sooner or later, he would know that this person was Li Fengxiang, whom he couldn't find everywhere. What's the purpose of doing this?

"I was beaten." Li Fengxiang didn't want to touch the wound on his body. If possible, he didn't want to let himself suffer more torment and pain. He leaned against the wall and tried to relax as much as possible. The face is more clearly seen.

"What about you? Are you a relative of the emperor, or the young son of some prince? How could you be sent here as well?"

After a moment of consideration, Song Qianzhi decided to tell the truth: "The Empress Dowager Zhou is my mother's sister."

Li Fengxiang had been running a fever, and his mind was a little confused. After a while, he came back to his senses and sat up in disbelief, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his body.

He leaned over to the railing suddenly.

Song Qianzhi was so frightened that he couldn't hold back and stepped back one meter.

Li Fengxiang held onto the iron railing with both hands, and looked at him carefully, watching him, he laughed, from a silent laugh, to a loud laugh, and then back to silence, only his excessive effort was in the air With the sound of breathing, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes.

"The eldest son of the dignified Marquis Mansion has also fallen to this point. What crime did Marquis An Ding commit?" Li Fengxiang looked around with blank eyes, then shook his head and said, "No, you are the only one. How come you are the only one here... His eyes rolled around, the corners of his mouth twitched, the veins on his neck popped out, and he began to gnaw on the fingers of his right hand.

Only then did Song Qianzhi see clearly that Li Fengxiang's fingers were gnawed bloody by himself.

Li Fengxiang stared at him as if his eyes were going to pop out.

Song Qianzhi's heart fluttered, his back felt cold, he swallowed, and moved back another meter calmly, lest Li Fengxiang suddenly go mad or violent.

Suddenly, Li Fengxiang stopped looking at him, but sat back in his small corner, pushing aside the straw with his bloody fingers, and drawing blindly on the ground with trembling hands.

Song Qianzhi gradually relaxed, and was about to ask Li Fengxiang again, when he heard Li Fengxiang's calm and steady voice saying: "Don't lie to me, even if I let those people torture me again, I won't sign and pledge. Take away my wife, falsely accuse me of extorting bribes, and drive me out of the capital. My Li family has been scholars for generations. Although I have never been a high-ranking official, I will never ruin the family. No matter how powerful the Hou Mansion is, I will never be afraid." These words revealed awe-inspiring righteousness, and Li Fengxiang's originally bent back straightened up, he closed his eyes, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

Song Qianzhi's heart trembled when he heard this, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.

He was so shocked by Li Fengxiang's words that he couldn't speak, his heart sank, and his hands couldn't help clenched into fists.

Qilin Guard was arrested and imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, and he was also arrested and imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, guarded by the Imperial Army. Fu Mingshao did not lock him with the Qilin Guard because there were still people in the Qilin Guard that he could not find out. thing.And he was locked up with Li Fengxiang precisely because he would learn from Li Fengxiang that it was his father who designed Li Fengxiang to be exiled from Beijing, and another thing was that the emperor wanted Li Fengxiang to confess and admit thing.

In addition, Song Qianzhi will also witness Li Fengxiang being tortured in prison and finally has to sign a pledge, and even Fu Mingshao will never let Li Fengxiang out.

Song Qianzhi's brain and heart ached violently, he frowned and closed his eyes, feeling very confused.

His mother's illness relapsed, this time Fu Mingshao put him in prison for false preaching of the imperial decree, the next step, when will he ask his guilt and cut off his head?

The more Song Qianzhi thought about it, the colder his heart became.

Fu Mingshao wouldn't behead him so quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be locked up here.

Song Qianzhi's breath was stagnant, and he looked at Li Fengxiang with disbelief in his eyes. He heard his hoarse voice asking, "What crime did they make you confess?"

The cell was very quiet.

Li Fengxiang opened his eyes, and said with a mocking coldness: "Don't you want me to admit an unfounded thing again? I have never pestered Lu Shi. Lu Shi is the wife I am marrying in the Ming Dynasty. When I was exiled, Lu Shi wept in the Changting Pavilion and sent me Leaving Beijing, our husband and wife love each other, and we firmly believe that there will be a day of reunion, and I have never written a letter of divorce. You don't have to worry about your father's wife. Even if I die, the truth must be revealed to the world. I In the family tree of the Li family, there has never been a corrupt official, let alone a liar."

Li Fengxiang's chest rose and fell sharply, and a pair of red eyes stared at Song Qianzhi.

"A person has ambition, and a bamboo has integrity. Even if I crush my bony bones, I will not write a single word of falsehood to exonerate your father."

The author has something to say: I have important family affairs in the past few months, and occasionally disappear for a few days...
