It's almost midnight.
The mountains are vast, and outside the dilapidated temple can still be seen vaguely guarded by people from the Heavenly Sect. One is to guard against sneak attacks, and the other is to have some hope for the group of people who went to Dongcheng Gate before, maybe they will come back in a while. .
But inside the temple, there is only this fire.
Zhang Zhe's eyes met Meng Yang's.
You can see what the other party has misunderstood by looking at his expression.
But he didn't explain, he just paced to the fire, sat next to Meng Yang, picked up a branch on the side, folded it gently, and threw it into the fire. The reddish light of the fire reflected on his cheeks, but he seemed to be a little confused while he was still.
At this moment, Meng Yang's hair covering his face has been pulled back a lot, revealing most of his face, but he doesn't show any viciousness. Instead, he has a kind of peace like meditation, and it doesn't look like he can kill more than fifty of his own family mouth people.
But how many of the real wicked people in the world clearly have a wicked face
There was a smile on his lips.
His eyes swept over the sleeping people around him, and he was not afraid of being heard by others, and said in a hoarse, knife-grinding voice: "I heard it two years ago when I was not in prison, Henan Daoist Gu Chunfang. There is a capable officer under his command, who is insightful and capable of judging cases. Mr. Zhang has a sincere name, someone Meng has really admired for a long time. I just didn’t expect to meet in such a place. Even people like you have nothing to do with Tianjiao. It’s really…”
He didn't say anything after that, but he said "tsk", which means it's self-evident.
Meng Yang held a slightly thicker branch in his hand, waving gently in the fire, and a little spark flew up in the heat.
People sat on the side, and the cold was also dissipated a lot.
Zhang Zhe's eyes fell on the branch in Meng Yang's hand, and he heard the other party's words, but did not speak for a long time.
It wasn't until he saw that the branch was licked up and burned by the fire, and then he calmly said: "You are from Changping, your family is rich, and you married a sweet wife when you were 20 years old. I don't want to be two years old, sweet wife He hanged himself at home and died, one corpse and two lives. You went up the mountain and became a monk under the sadness of your heart. Unexpectedly, a few years later, I inadvertently learned that my wife was harmed by the family, one to get his money, and the other to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official for you. In a fit of rage, you didn't take off your monk's robe and went home with the sword used by the monks in the temple. In order to prevent everyone from escaping, you first set a fire at the back door, tied the gate, and forced you inside. . If you see one, kill the other, including your father, brother, and nephew. The elders are sixty-two, and the young are only thirteen. Killed in the middle of the night, only a dog you raised many years ago is still alive. "
"Crack", the branch in Meng Yang's hand suddenly broke.
The broken piece fell into the fire and burned quickly.
He finally showed a bit of blood in his eyes, but he pulled the corner of his lips and smiled: "As expected of Mr. Zhang, I know that."
Zhang Zhe doesn't think it's a big deal when he talks about it. He has dealt with too many tragedies. Even if he has a heart of compassion, he will not be attached to it, but he just said: "You have been in the heavenly prison for a long time. , I was going to be executed in the autumn, and the dossier happened to pass through the Ministry of Punishment. I work in the Ministry of Punishment, and naturally I have seen your dossier."
In other words, Zhang Zhe knew Meng Yang better than others.
This is what Meng Yang never thought of.
He suddenly felt an indescribable danger, and he felt a little bit of fear that he had never seen before, Zhang Zhe, the seemingly unremarkable head of the Ministry of Justice.
Zhang Zhe seemed to be unaware of this kind of jealousy, the light of the fire in the temple was reflected in the bottom of his indifferent and cold eyes, and he said as if it were ordinary: "You killed more than fifty members of a family, the crime is true, no matter what happened. They are all unforgivable and unforgivable. When the dossier was handed to the Ministry of Punishment, they drew you to be executed in the autumn. I didn’t expect that you would be suppressed by someone, saying that there are doubts and discretion in the matter of your hanging your wife. , I will only put you in jail, and nothing will be released for the time being. Therefore, the matter has been delayed until now, and it is still pending."
People like Meng Yang can't justify their crimes with death.
Although he was in danger, Zhang Zhe didn't hide his love or dislike, and finally turned his eyes to look directly at the other party, and said, "I really want to know, who is standing behind you, who has such great ability. It can suppress things like Qiu Jue.”
Meng Yang was still holding a branch in his hand, although his peaceful face was a little dirty, but the warm red firelight reflected like a Buddha sitting high in the temple, and he actually said: "Meng Mou came out of the White Horse Temple. , The monk who shaved me was a round machine, and he has been studying Buddhism for four or five years. Master Zhang is so curious, why don't you guess?"
White Horse Temple, Yuanji monk.
Wasn't that the current national teacher who was proclaimed by Emperor Shen Lang
The shaving thing is probably true.
But Zhang Zhe didn't answer, because things weren't as simple as they appeared. If the monk Yuanji did this, it would be too revealing, and all the civil and military people of the dynasty were watching.
After winter, the sun rises late.
But Xie Wei didn't sleep very well at night, and he was used to getting up early. When he opened his eyes and got up with his clothes on, it was still pitch black outside. Yesterday, he went out in the snowy night and was cold, and he coughed a little.
When Jianshu heard him get up outside, he called someone in to serve him.
Hearing him coughing, Jian Shu said, "The medicine that Dr. Liu prescribed for you is very good. Let someone give you a decoction."
Xie Wei lightly frowned and said, "No need."
He went to the front of the desk after a little wash, and turned over the things piled on the desk, but these were either official documents from the court or secret reports from the Heavenly Sect.
Jian Shuben was ready to report any matter from the Heavenly Sect, but he looked up and saw that Xie Wei was sitting in front of the case and didn't move for a long time. , it looks like it is going in the direction of Yanzhuang. The leader personally ordered another group of people to go to their temporary settlement to meet them, but it is not known who is going there. ask?"
Xie Wei ignored it, and suddenly asked, "Is there anything else?"
Jianshu was stunned.
Xie Wei coughed again, the light of the lamp shone on his pale face, and there was a bit of lingering sickness between the contours of his eyebrows and eyes. He got up and walked back to the front of the Chuoqin Hall, saying as he walked, "The first month is the first month after the festival is over, and there are only a few days left. There is one thing, you should ask someone to find out what the little girls in Beijing love today. When the list for Zhang's birthday ceremony came up, I thought about it."
little girl love
Birthday present
Who has a birthday in the first month
Jian Shu searched his mind for a while, but he couldn't remember who celebrated his birthday in the first month, but when he thought about the three words "little girl" used in Xie Wei's words, he suddenly understood, and he was speechless.
He didn't dare to shout in front of Xie Wei like Lu Xian, he only dared to shout in his heart for a while, but he didn't show it at all, as if he had taken on an important task, and solemnly said: "Yes. "
It was still dark in the hall.
Xie Wei walked in and turned on the light.
The beech wood plank on the violin-making table in front of the window has been done according to the shape of the violin, but it has not yet been spliced and painted. He put the lamp on the window sill, rolled up his sleeves and took a carving knife, but his fingers froze when he was about to carve the details.
Suddenly thought-
Although the little girl's qin is a guqin, the old qin is the old tone, no matter how well-kept it is, there may be something unsatisfactory. Since ancient times, "the new is not as good as the old" is a fallacy. It would be nice to have a new qin as a birthday ceremony, but unfortunately, I have been too busy recently, and the qin has been slow.
Just this thought crossed my mind.
After Xie Wei had a meal in his hand, he buried his head and went to play the piano.
Jian Shu always felt like he was carrying something in his heart, but when did Mr. Although the matter of Yongyi Hou's mansion was a near miss, it could even be regarded as a brilliant move, just waiting for the day when it would come in handy later. However, in the end, he left the house and the capital. The husband didn't say it on the face, and he was afraid that he had accumulated too much unhappiness secretly.
He didn't dare to ask what to do with the things piled up on the desk.
I had to wait at the door and didn't dare to disturb it.
At such an early hour, most people haven't gotten up yet.
It was quiet all around.
So once there are footsteps, it becomes especially obvious.
Not long after Jian Shu stood up, he heard such a footstep, driving from the front yard.
is a servant.
When I came to the Chuoqin Hall, I whispered: "Someone outside the door asked to see me, saying that I have something important to report, please take the time, the other party claimed to be Zhou Yinzhi, a thousand households of Jinyiwei."
Zhou Yinzhi
This person has heard of Jianshu, but he has not left a good impression.
He frowned when he heard it: "Did you say what happened?"
The servant said, "No."
Jian Shu guessed that Xie Wei was missing, but they had never contacted this person before, and they did not dare to reject it directly like others, so they came in and asked Xie Wei again.
Xie Wei really said: "No."
Officials from the DPRK and China came to visit him for just a few reasons. After a long time, it became tiresome. If it wasn't for something to plan, he always preferred to be alone and didn't like to pay attention to other people's affairs.
Not to mention today.
As soon as Jian Shu heard this, he wanted to go out and sent Zhou Yinzhi away.
It was only when he reached the door that the knife in Xie Wei's hand stopped.
He suddenly said, "Call someone in."
Jian Shu couldn't understand why he changed his mind again, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it, and ordered someone to lead Zhou Yinzhi in.
Most of the night passed, Zhou Yinzhi was still wearing the same clothes from last night, and the corners of the collar and robe of the flying fish suit were soaked with sweat and fog.
Talent came in from outside, and Xie Wei could see that he didn't seem to sleep last night.
Otherwise, Qianhu Jinyiwei doesn't have to go to court early, and there is no need to dress like this early in the morning.
He only asked: "Xie Mouxiang has little to do with Jin Yiwei, and Zhou Qianhu came to look for it before dawn. I don't know if there is something important?"
It was indeed the first time that Zhou Yinzhi came to visit Xie's house.
But what happened last night was far beyond his ability to deal with it now. Seeing that Jiang Xuening's whereabouts could not be found, he knew that he must inform others. But do you want to tell Jiang Boyou first? Zhou Yinzhi really didn't dare. Once the matter is revealed, one is to secretly find a relationship and let someone go to the Heavenly Prison to visit Yongyi Hou's mansion.
Sitting in that cell for half an hour, he turned his heart hard and simply bowed to the Xie residence.
Without him, just gamble!
Xie Wei is Jiang Xuening's husband in Fengchen Palace. The girl in the boudoir is young but knows many things in the court. The last time he redeemed the letter from the Tianjiao, he didn't understand Jiang Xuening's intention until the end. But she faintly felt that she had a close relationship with the prince's young master, Xie Wei.
After all, it is one of the "Three Orphans" of the dynasty.
If Xie Wei was willing to take action, it would be safer than if he tried to find a way by himself.
Zhou Yinzhi's knife-carved brows were all solemn, even a bit awe-inspiring, he bowed to Xie Wei and closed his eyes, saying, "Tianjiao's chaotic party robs prison, Jiang Er girl was in the sky at that time. In prison, his whereabouts are unknown."
"Crack!"
There was an ear-piercing light sound in the silent Chuqin Hall, and the carving knife in his hand made a rough mark on the piano board, sinking deeply into the board, and even the pulp of the right finger was frayed a little, leaking. Bleeding.
This piano can't be done.
Xie Wei suddenly had such an idea in his heart, but his eyes stopped on the deep scar for a moment, then slowly turned his head and stared at Zhou Yinzhi, as if he didn't hear clearly, and asked softly, "Who did you just say?"
Also early in the morning.
The people resting in the broken temple also woke up one after another.
The fire of the fire was also extinguished, leaving only a little reddish embers.
The whitish fog drowned the surrounding mountains, turning the distant mountains and the near shadows into black, white and gray colors, but there were many hooves in the thick fog.
The people stalking outside the temple have been waiting for a long time.
Hearing the sound of hoofs, he said, "Come on!"
Everyone was excited when they heard it.
Jiang Xuening had a good night's sleep, and just woke up not long ago, when he opened his eyes and sat up, he felt a robe slipping from his body. Only then did he notice that Zhang Zhe was no longer in the room. robe.
There was a hint of coolness on the robe.
She was stunned for a moment, and gently stroked the fine stitches on the collar and sleeves of her robe, only to feel her heart throbbing, sour and astringent. In the next life, I am very happy to see him well, but God treats her better, and even gave me the opportunity to share his hardships with him...
Jiang Xuening suddenly smiled. Although he slept with aches and pains, he still got out of bed neatly, folded the clothes twice, and walked out of the room.
But now everyone was standing outside the broken temple.
At a glance, Zhang Zhe was still standing inside the threshold, but he was also looking out. Yesterday, Meng Yang, who seemed to have caused a shock, was still sitting in the corner, even his posture was similar, and he didn't know if he had not moved all night or had moved and sat back again.
Jiang Xuening didn't care anyway.
She walked straight past this man and came to Zhang Zhe: "Master Zhang, clothes."
It seems that someone from the Heavenly Sect has arrived.
Zhang Zhe was thinking about who was coming, and when he heard the voice and turned back, he saw that the girl who had woken up had already stood beside him. It was probably because the bed was uncomfortable last night, and the sleeping posture was not very good. Reddish sleep marks, like the red marks on the pillow or his collar.
He hesitated before taking the robe.
It's just that the robe was stained with the fragrance of the girl, and he held it in his hand, but he didn't put it on himself.
In the thick fog outside the temple, the visitor finally appeared.
It was a team of capable men.
There were more than 20 horses in a group, and two horses took the lead, and they stopped in front of the temple in a hurry.
Huang Qian immediately greeted him: "Master Zuo Xiang, you are definitely not the son, but I have waited for you."
The two leading riders were one old and one young.
The old man with a goosebump, dressed as a gangster in the rivers and lakes, called Feng Mingyu, was the seat of the Jinling chief helmsman who was dispatched to the Tongzhou sub-rudder to take charge of the sub-rudder affairs. Zuo Prime Minister, "Uncle" is a common name in the rivers and lakes, which shows the high status of this person.
The lesser one has a handsome face, prominent facial features, dressed in splendid embroidery, with a sword on his waist, and a romantic ranger attitude. A pair of peach blossom eyes fascinates the soul, and the brilliance flowing from the corner of the single eye makes the girls blush and heartbeat when they see it.
When other people saw it, they couldn't help but secretly said, "What a great talent."
Jiang Xuening's complexion suddenly changed when he saw it, and an aversion to cold rushed up from under his feet to the back of his head, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch a little: Oops, why is it him!
This little one is not someone else, it is the Xiao Dingfei she knew in her previous life!
Feng Mingyu's position is higher, his body is already old, how can't Lie Ma be so bumpy, when he helped the man next to him to come down, his face was not very good, he just panted: "If it wasn't for the order of the leader, who would take it? The old bones are still in danger. How about it, Mr. Gongyi?"
It was only then that he had time to take a look.
However, from this look, it was obvious that something was wrong. In addition to their original members of the Heavenly Religion, many people were still wearing dirty prison clothes.
Huang Qian knew that things were difficult, so he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Feng Mingyu about the situation last night.
Xiao Dingfei also got off his horse and stood beside him naturally listening.
Jiang Xuening stood beside Zhang Zhe, clearly seeing that Huang Qian looked at Zhang Zhe several times when he was talking, and her heart skipped a beat: In her last life, she knew that Xiao Dingfei had inextricably linked with the Heavenly Sect. Contact, I can't imagine that she will see it with her own eyes in this life! This person is going to "return" to the Xiao family in the future. The position is so important, does he know who the real "Dujun Mountain Man" is!
After Feng Mingyu heard this, his two gray eyebrows were wrinkled, and he subconsciously looked at Zhang Zhe at the back of the crowd.
Xiao Dingfei also heard it clearly.
but…
Du Junshan people
His slanted long eyebrows were slightly raised, the long sword around his waist was casually pressed, he took two steps under his feet, and actually stood in front of the temple, looking up and down at Zhang Zha, a cynical joking smile appeared on his lips , said: "You are the 'Dujun Mountain Man' who sees the head of the dragon and does not see the tail in our teaching?"
Zhang Zhe frowned when he heard Huang Qian shouting "Young Master Ding Fei", and then looked at the figure emerging from the thick fog. His words, deeds, and actions were all the same as those he remembered in his last life. Returning to Xiao Shi's Dingfei Shizi, his eyelids twitched slightly.
How could this person appear in the Heavenly Sect
He frowned, he wanted to say something, but Jiang Xuening, who was standing beside him at this time, grabbed his sleeve without warning and tugged.
He subconsciously took back what he was about to say.
This action is not a big one, but when the surroundings are solemn, it is not a small one.
Xiao Dingfei was standing nearby and noticed it easily.
He couldn't help but glanced to the side. He didn't expect to know if he didn't look at it. When he saw the "boy" standing next to him, although his face was dirty, his facial features were extremely beautiful. Yes, the nail powder is transparent, and the snow skin in the uncompressed collar can be broken by blowing bullets.
woman
Xiao Dingfei is not a serious person, and at first sight, all the important things are thrown behind his head, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes floated a little interest, and his eyes fell on Jiang Xuening and did not turn away: "I didn't expect this to be fatal. You can still bring a woman with you. I don't know what a girl is called?"
Yesterday, someone saw that something was wrong with the person beside Zhang Zha, either a girl or a little white face.
But it's all old, and no one is going to break it.
Where did he expect that the "Ding Fei Gongzi", who was not a source of Tianjiao, actually broke it out in one sentence, asserting that the other party was a woman, and even directly approached and asked Fang's name? !
Jiang Xuening suddenly thought: This bad embryo should be sent back to the Xiao family immediately, so that the family knows what "retribution" is!
