Da Wei Chun

Chapter 444

The setting sun is drunk with the wind, and the moon shines on the colorful clouds to return!
The setting sun reflects on the mountains, and the rays of light spread across thousands of mountains.The palace city is looming, hidden between the sunset glow and the sea of ​​fog, like the golden tower of Qionglou, ethereal, majestic and beautiful.

One Shijia rider and seven or eight Taoist priests guarded a double carriage, and galloped on the official road beside Luoshui.

Gao Zhao leaned lazily in the car, staring out the window thoughtfully, as if admiring the beautiful scenery.Yuan Yue knelt and sat opposite, with a sad face, and seemed to be smiling, but it looked more like crying.

"uncle……"

"Don't ask!"

Gao Zhao waved his hand impatiently, "You will know when you arrive!"

The more it was like this, the more anxious Yuan Yue became, her face hung like a bitter gourd, as if she was about to cry.

I ran to Mang Mountain to collect some late dew, which I prepared to use as bait.But as soon as he entered the city, he was told that Wuji Temple was surrounded by soldiers?

Hurry up quickly, before reaching the gate, Gao Zhao intercepts him again.Just say to go with him, no more nonsense, and then locked into the carriage as if escorted...

Yuan Yue racked her brains to think about the past of these days like a horse watching flowers in her heart.

Drinking, watching dances, listening to music, eating bait, making alchemy, at most it's just...playing with a group of apprentices...

Apart from "playing", it seems that he has never done anything out of the ordinary, but why Gao Zhao's face is so solemn, as if he has committed a heinous crime?
Thinking wildly in my heart, and wondering and uncertain.When he came back to his senses, the carriage had already stopped.

When I got out of the car, I realized that the sun had already set.At the beginning of night, the sky is full of stars, but the lights are brightly lit, as bright as day.The courtyard was densely packed with soldiers wearing armor and carrying knives, but they were like stone piles, motionless and silent.

Something big happened again?
Yuan Yue's backyard tightened, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.Eyeballs glanced anxiously, and when he saw the Jade Buddha, which was nearly two feet high, like a mountain, reflecting the faint light, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Such a huge Jade Buddha, in the entire capital... no, there is only this bottle in the whole world...

Baode Temple?
Whatever, as long as it's not the palace...

"go!"

Gao Zhao called out and went to the apse.Yuan Yue followed up obediently, followed by seven or eight Taoist priests.

Stepping into the door, with just one glance, Yuan Yue and all the Taoists knew that this should be the abbot of Baode Temple, and the length and square should be three feet three.Not to mention the four squares of the repair, and the gold and jade are brilliant.What you can see, including the walls and the ground, are mostly made of copper or painted with gold paint.

There were only three people in the hall, Yuan Yong and Yuan Yi, one on the left and one on the right, kneeling and sitting on the futon, their faces full of awe.Another person was sitting in a small cart with four wheels, facing the Buddhist altar, with his back to the temple gate, as if looking at a golden seal by a large candle.

Hearing the movement, Li Chengzhi turned his head, and Yuan Yue cheered in shock: "Li Chengzhi? Haha...you're not dead?"

Yuan Yue is really happy: don't mention the personal friendship between the two, just from the point that Li Chengzhi can make him a steady stream of money, he is 1 times unwilling to have an accident with Li Chengzhi.

Your son is dead and grandpa promises to be alive and well...

Li Chengzhi glared at him, then pointed upwards.

Only then did Yuan Yue see Tianzi Jingjie standing behind Li Chengzhi.

No wonder he was seated in the middle, but the fourth emperor's uncle and fourth emperor's brother were at the bottom?

Yuan Yong made a hasty bow without even straightening his waist, so Yuan Yong pointed at him and asked, "You have a woman whose surname is Zhao and whose name is Suiniang. You... this woman was originally the wife of a prisoner sent to the government..."

Crown?

There are not a hundred or eighty female Taoist priests in the Promise Crown, and nine out of ten are all bought from music halls and dance halls by the Luoshui River. They are either musicians, dancers, or singers .In addition, he is not good at women, regardless of beauty or ugliness, he doesn't pay attention, how can he remember which surname is Zhao and which is Suiniang?
Yuan Yue shook her head without thinking.

"Do you know what happened to this female crown?"

Yuan Yi's face was extremely cold, and he stretched out his hand to point at Li Chengzhi, "Li Shilang's end now is thanks to this female thief!"

It's just a female Taoist priest, how could it harm Li Chengzhi?
He was obviously killed by the female assassin who assassinated the emperor's brother, okay... um, female assassin?

Yuan Yue froze suddenly, as if pouring a bucket of ice water on her head, from head to toe, from inside to outside, it was cold to the bone.As soon as his legs went limp, he fell to the ground with a "plop".

"That female assassin is the female crown in my view of Wuji... how is it possible?"

"The evidence is so strong, how can it be impossible?"

Yuan Yong reprimanded in a cold voice, "If you want you to think about it, you should think about it carefully, afraid of being a bird? Didn't you say that the female assassin was sent by you?"

Yuan Yue trembled all over, and tears came down: "In the view of Wuji, I will only ask about men and boys. If it is a woman, Gu never pays attention to it. Cui Yanxia will deal with it, so I really don't know about Zhao Suiniang. Who is it..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yong, Yuan Yi, Gao Zhao, and Li Chengzhi all showed a hint of contempt in unison.

The male Taoist and the boy are for Yuan Yue to enjoy, so he will ask.The female Taoist priests are given to the male Taoist priests who are enjoyed by Yuanyue or enjoy Yuanyue.Yuan Yue is not close to women, so she is naturally indifferent.

But the good thing is that Yuan Yue has plenty of money, and never robs women by force, only buys and buys.Occasionally, when the money doesn't work, I will grab it once or twice.Just like Li Chengzhi...

It had long been expected that this would be the case: on the day the emperor was assassinated, Yuan Yue also entered the palace and saw the female assassin's body.If he had an impression, he would have recognized it long ago.

Gao Zhao snorted coldly, then shouted out: "Bring those Taoist priests in..."

A tiger responded outside the door, and seven or eight Taoist priests dressed in colorful clothes entered the hall.Yuan Yue jumped up suddenly, rushed forward and hit her: "I'm alone with your mother, you want to kill grandpa, you can't do it... you actually took an assassin in?"

Taking a closer look, Yuan Yue hit a red-robed Taoist priest.Not to mention the long oily hair and powdered face, there is still a lot of powder on the face, and the rouge on the lips is as bright as if he just ate bloody human flesh.

With only two slaps, Yuan Yue's hands were as white as if they had just been scooped out of flour.

Li Chengzhi still had some impressions. He remembered that the surname of the Taoist priest who was beaten was Cui, which was just one word different from the famous general Cui Yanbo. His name was Cui Yanxia. He was Yuan Yue's big fan and the host of Wuji Temple.

He frowned in disgust: "Pull it off!"

When Yuan Qiao hugged Yuan Yue, Cui Yanxia's face was already swollen like a pig's head, which showed how scared Yuan Yue was, perhaps even exerting all her strength to nurse.

"Come forward and admit it!"

Li Chengzhi waved to Cui Yanxia again, looked through the books, and found the portrait of the female assassin.

Seeing Yuan Yue's face as white as dirt, terrified, and thinking of the sentence "an assassin was admitted in", Cui Yanxia knew that no matter how stupid he was, he had caused a catastrophe.

Not even wiping off the blood on his face, Cui Yanxia's legs went limp, and he had to use all his strength to get in front of Li Chengzhi.

A one-foot-square booklet, with a picture of a woman with regular facial features... Hmm, does it look familiar?
After thinking for a while, Cui Yanxia's eyes lit up: "Zhao Suiniang?"

Yuan Yue flew forward and grabbed Cui Yanxia's neckline: "Where did you come from?"

"You brought it, Your Highness?"

Cui Yanxia's face was full of innocence, "This year's winter, His Highness went somewhere to drink wine, and came back late at night. When he came, he brought this Zhao Suiniang...

The next day His Highness sobered up, and the servant asked how to arrange it. His Highness said that he would give him a share of the salary and just keep it. Never embarrassing, and come and go freely..."

This female assassin was actually brought back by herself?
Like an electric shock, the flesh on Yuan Yue's face twitched violently, her heart was full of fear and anxiety, but her mind was like a cloud of paste, and she couldn't remember it alive.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he instinctively wanted to do it again, but Yuan Yong grabbed him: "What's the use of beating him to death?"

Then he pointed at Cui Yanxia, ​​"What is Xiao Liuer... what is his nature, don't you know, you bastard? If he takes the initiative to bring back the girl to spend the night, you will definitely have a good impression...

Think about it carefully: when, where, and from whom did he ask for this girl? "

Cui Yanxia's heart was in her throat, her mind seemed to be winded up, and it flew by.According to Yuan Yong's words, he thought about it quickly, and suddenly got an impression:

"I remembered that it was the winter solstice last year... The next day I woke up, and I heard His Highness complaining: You said no, but you insisted on forcing it to me? If it was a virgin at the age of a bean gangster, it would be fine, but it was over thirty. And an old woman who has given birth? What are you going to do to me, do you really want to be a wet nurse?"

Last year's winter solstice...drunk...forced...an old woman who can be a wet nurse?

There seemed to be a flash of light in his mind, Yuan Yue looked at Yuan Yong with horror on his face.

Yuan Yong was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "But you remembered?"

How can I remember?

Yuan Yue raised her finger, pointing at Yuan Yong tremblingly: "Yes... it's fourth uncle, it's for Gu..."

Click!
It was as if a thunderbolt had struck everyone's heads.One counts as another, including Li Chengzhi, all of them are as stupefied as sculptures, dumbstruck.

Like a cat stepping on its tail, Yuan Yong jumped three feet high on the spot: "Fart?"

"How did it become a fart?"

Yuan Yue was even more anxious than Yuan Yong, "On the day of the winter solstice, you invited me to a banquet. When the drink was in full swing, a servant woman brought warm milk. I asked casually, why is it not like cow's milk and goat's milk, and it is a bit fishy. You They said, this is human milk, which can be called a great tonic... and forced one to me, which is Zhao Suiniang..."

Yuan Yong suddenly remembered...

Obviously just a wet nurse...why did she become an assassin?

No...then Zhao Ji, I'm afraid she has some background...

But this is a major crime against the Jiu Clan. If you go around, how can you have something to do with yourself?

Thinking of Yuan Ke's insidious methods, Yuan Yong felt his mind turning dizzily, and the ground seemed to be on top of his head.

"Fourth uncle?"

Yuan Yi hurriedly took a step forward and hugged Yuan Yong, then yelled at Yuan Yue in a low voice, "Could it be that you remembered wrongly?"

"How can I remember wrong?" Yuan Yue said in surprise, "Don't forget, fourth brother, fourth uncle gave you a gift too, and there are two..."

Yuan Yi froze immediately, as if petrified.

Seeming to be thinking about something again, Yuan Yue paused for a while, raised her hand again, and pointed at Gao Zhao, "Uncle was also there that day, although he didn't ask for a wet nurse, he took two dancers with him... and the day he attended the banquet Everyone has a share, have uncle and four brothers forgotten?"

In an instant, Gao Zhao's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.

Looking at the expressions of these four people, Li Chengzhi's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It seems that what Yuan Yue said is true...

It is absolutely impossible for Yuan Yue to plot to assassinate the emperor.

Either it was a coincidence, or it was framed.

But like Yuan Yue, saying that you can't support the wall with mud is considered a compliment, so what's the use of framing him?

As for Yuan Yong...although he is stronger than Yuan Yue, his strength is limited.Moreover, he is good at flattering horses, and he is very popular with the emperor, and he is almost defenseless against him.Therefore, if Yuan Yong really wanted to assassinate, there was no need for such trouble.

Thinking more deeply, is the nanny Yuan Yong gave to other people also related to the assassin?

No, some grass and trees are all soldiers, which is far-fetched.

Human milk tonic... I don't know where it came from, anyway, there are many people in Beijing who like this way.There is more than one Yuanyong, such as Yuanyi and Gaozhao, there are similar wet nurses who provide milk, including in the imperial palace.

So as long as there is a market, there will naturally be people who specialize in this kind of business.In Beijing, there is no shortage of fanghui (dentist shops) that specialize in hiring women who are not yet giving birth.

Of course, it's not just for drinking milk. There are many lustful people who specialize in this way.But if you want to say who has the most households, the most beautiful looks, and the best training, of course it must be Yuan Yong and Yuan Chen.

So instead of starting with the clue of the wet nurse, it is better to thoroughly check the Mahayana believers in Beijing.

Gao Zhao sighed sadly: ""You always say: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, what if it has something to do with the actress I brought back to the mansion on the winter solstice last year?So arrest the generals first...then enter the palace and report this matter to His Majesty! "

"Yes, entering the palace... I have to ask His Majesty for a sin..."

Yuan Yong howled dryly, as if his parents were dead.Xu Shi was terrified, even more exaggerated than Yuan Yue's.If Yuan Yi hadn't supported him tightly, he would have collapsed to the ground.

Yuan Yong moved his lips, and his eyes swept across the faces of Yuan Yi, Gao Zhao, Yuan Yue and others in turn: "There are still..."

This sentence clearly asked the other three people to enter the palace to plead guilty like him.

Gao Zhao's heart sank: "Why?"

"On that day, I took advantage of the banquet to send gifts to my sister, my father, and Xuan Ren (Yuan Yi), all of whom were concubines from the Xuande (Yuan Yu) mansion. In all likelihood, Xuande passed by... After his incident happened, he specially sent a secret letter and entrusted me to take care of it. I was heartless, so I sold it from the official workshop and hid it in the mansion. I am afraid that Your Majesty... After knowing about it, His Majesty will be suspicious of me, so I will give it to each of you. How many...

And the Zhao Ji who was given to Xiaoliu was... Yanhe (Yuan Xie)...Yanhe's dark room, and she has given birth to a son for the sixth disciple..."

Yuan Yong's eyes were extremely horrified, "As long as Your Majesty checks out the origin of Zhao Suiniang, the rest of you will naturally be able to find out, so I asked you to follow me into the palace and plead guilty..."

This is the real thunderbolt, just hearing "uh", Yuan Yue rolled her eyes and fell back straight.

Li Chengzhi was startled: first Yuan Jia, then Yuan Yong, Yuan Yi, Gao Zhao... The few people Yuan Ke could barely trust, and the four who dared to grant the military power in the capital, were wiped out all at once?
