Li Yi woke up from the cold in the morning.
Since the first few days of the Lantern Festival, the weather has been getting warmer. He even changed the quilt on the bed to a thinner one. However, it was unbearably cold in the middle of the night last night. He kept curling up and didn't sleep well. Mimi I fell asleep until dawn.
Of course, the reason why he woke up was because Tsundere Lolita ran in and stretched her cold little hands into the bed. I don't know what she did just now. The little hands are like ice cubes. After he shuddered, he lost all sleepiness .
"Sir, wake up, the sun is drying your ass!"
Tsundere Lolita was wearing a thick padded coat, rolling around on the bed like a bear, and Li Yi had to get up even if he wanted to sleep in the bed for a while longer.
He put on his coat and asked casually: "Why did you come here so early today, don't you need to greet your father?"
Tsundere Loli lay on the bed, dangling her calf, and said with a sad face: "Father is ill, the imperial doctor said that Father should take a good rest these days, I came over after looking outside."
These days, the old emperor's condition has repeatedly become more and more serious. Li Yi is a little worried. He just hopes that this winter will pass quickly. The worst situation must not happen now.
Hearing the noise and laughter coming from outside, he wondered, "What are you doing outside?"
Tsundere Loli curled her lips and said, "They are having a snowball fight. Sister Xiaohuan is seventeen years old, and she is still so naive. I have long since stopped playing that kind of game."
Li Yi was startled, and asked, "Is it snowing?"
Tsundere Lolita nodded and said, "It fell last night, it's so big, sir, get up quickly, let's go outside and make a snowman, the biggest and biggest one, and compare them all..."
The sudden heavy snow fell silently like this. Compared with previous years, there was not much snowfall this winter, but it has snowed after Shangyuan, which has never happened in recent years.
Of course, the night of Shangyuan is not only heavy snow, but also poetry.
"The crowd looked for her thousands of times. Looking back suddenly, that person was in a dimly lit place." It took only half a night for this poem to spread among the circles of literati in the capital. It has been a long time since that person had no poems circulated. The "No. 1 talented scholar in Jingguo" who came out was so generous as soon as he made a move, which once again established his position in the hearts of those who love poetry.
This was not the only thing that caused a sensation in Kyoto last night.
There was a ferocious imperial convict who hid in a music hall in Kyoto when he was evading the pursuit of the police. After being discovered, he was ashamed and killed a musician in the music hall. And fled, now, his arrest papers have been plastered all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and all the city gates.
It is also because the villain almost hurt the son of Mrs. Chu's family yesterday, Jingzhaoyin Mansion has ordered the government offices in the Gyeonggi area to strictly investigate the whereabouts of the criminal, and the bounty given is quite heavy, so that the people of Kyoto, if they are outside When seeing unidentified outsiders, they will secretly pay more attention...
Jingzhao Yamen.
After cleaning his hands in the copper basin, an old man said respectfully: "My lord, it has been found out that this woman died of suffocation, and the two choke marks on her neck were the cause of her death." where."
Zeng Shichun said with a sullen face, "Have you found out the identity of this woman?"
A policeman stepped forward and said: "My lord, I have been asked by the people in the Miaoyin Pavilion. The woman is a musician in the pavilion, and she is famous. She doesn't go to the Miaoyin Pavilion every day. Regarding the situation in her home, It’s not clear yet, and more people are already being sent to investigate.”
The old man hesitated for a while, and then said: "My lord, according to the inspection of my subordinates, this woman is actually suffering from a serious illness, and her time is numbered. Even if there is no such thing..., I am afraid, I am afraid that she will live But half a year."
Zeng Shichun sighed, and said: "Even if she is terminally ill and doesn't have many days to live, half a year has 180 days, 2,160 hours... This is still a case of human life."
Behind Zeng Shichun, someone finally stood up. Cui Qingming looked at the few people in the hall and said, "Go down first."
Hearing the words, the assistant and several policemen immediately bowed and retreated.
Cui Qingming looked at Zeng Shichun, and said slowly: "This matter involves the Chu family, and the Taifu has already acquiesced, so don't make any more troubles, and the woman's time is numbered... Master Zeng should know what to do, right?" ?”
"I know the seriousness of course." Zeng Shichun waved his hand and said, "I will order someone to search for that imperial prisoner, don't worry."
Cui Qingming smiled and said, "I'm relieved now."
Zeng Shichun looked at him and asked, "Are you sure that just relying on this matter, the Chu family can help us wholeheartedly?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Tai Tuo is a smart person. If this matter gets out, it will deal a serious blow to the reputation of the Chu family. Mr. Tai Tuo may not care about himself or Chu Ping, but he will definitely not care about the Chu family. It’s a reputation that has been built up bit by bit with great difficulty.” Cui Qingming smiled again and said: “In this way, the death of that woman is not useless at all…”
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the most important thing." Zeng Shichun nodded, clenched his fists in his sleeves, but looked at him calmly, and said, "If that's the case, leave the matter here to me."
"I believe Master Zeng." Cui Qingming cupped his hands to him, and said, "I have to go and answer the Chu family in person, so I'll take my leave first."
"Walk slowly..."
After seeing off Cui Qingming, Chen Chong, who was only drinking tea at the side, stood up and said, "If you only have this little strength, you can't touch the Chu family."
Zeng Shichun shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't move, but that the timing is too late."
"Not enough time?" Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, then looked at him, narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know, what will you do if the time comes?"
"You have to give up to get something." Zeng Shichun looked at him and said slowly: "If you want to get something, you have to give up something first..."
…
"Bastard, you bastard! My Chu family has been high-spirited and upright for generations, why did you become such a bastard!"
Chu Ping knelt on the ground, and in front of him was the spiritual seat of the ancestors of the Chu family. Mrs. Chu picked up the crutch in his hand, and slammed it on his back. The clothes on his back were already torn, and his back was a bloody mess...
Taifu Chu was short of breath, a middle-aged man hurriedly patted him on the back and said, "Father, please don't get excited..."
Chu Taifu shook off his hand, looked at him, and said angrily: "You have taught a good son!"
The son has been traveling with his father, and he has not taught him at all. Although the middle-aged man feels wronged, he dare not say anything at the moment.
Chu Ping knelt there upright, weeping, "It's all my fault. I lost face to the Chu family. Grandpa, beat me to death!"
"Kill you, what's the use of killing you, can the woman come back to life if you kill you?" The old man said so, but the raised crutch still failed to fall again.
Panting slightly, he glanced at Chu Ping, with a look of loneliness on his face, and when he turned his head to leave, he said, "The ancestors of the Chu family are watching, let him kneel here for three days..."
Chu Ping prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling, and said loudly: "Thank you grandpa, thank you grandpa..."
