son-in-law

Chapter 420 Chapter [-]

The moon sets and the sun rises. In the morning, there is a dull atmosphere in the courtyard of Wenhui Building.

"...These things are not to be done now, but it is good to have some preparations... The new shopkeeper, how to see how to choose, you actually know people, you need it temporarily, it doesn't matter if you are surprised, it's amazing, the most important thing is The main thing is to be able to complete the tasks assigned one by one. Regarding this, the Prime Minister's office will help, but you don't have to worry too much... During the time I'm away, as long as everything is done step by step, when I come back, there should be a prototype. …”

"...You... take care of each other, visit the Xiangfu more often, and keep in touch with Mrs. Qin and Yunniang. Not to mention Mrs. Qin, that Yunniang, in fact, many of the secret investigation department's affairs are through her hands. , I'll do the filing for Qin Xiang first, of course, you can communicate with her as usual, that's all..."

The sun shone into the room, and Ning Yi, Yunzhu, and Jin'er sat at the table, explaining everything.Jin'er said: "You said that you would leave tomorrow, but suddenly it was changed to today. Could it be that last night's incident...will there be trouble?"

Ning Yi smiled and shook his head: "Of course there is trouble, but it's not what you think. The Taiwei's mansion didn't take care of it last night, and he didn't dare to really do anything to me, but once it was suppressed, the investigation began. Ten I may have to stay here for half a month, time waits for no one, so I will go out of the city first. In addition, the right side of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be suppressed. "

Last night, Cheng Zhouhai's sudden attack made Ning Yi do nothing in advance.But as the most central members of the Secret Investigation Division, Ning Yi is not worried that the other party is a pure pig teammate if the other party does something like this.

At night, things were done step by step. When the people from Prince Chong's mansion arrived, Ning Yi came out, protecting Zhou Pei, who was half-blooded and his clothes torn. Zhou Ji, Prince of Chong, was furious, and he drew his sword and chased down the miserable Gao Muen halfway down the street.During this period, Lu Qian could only protect Gao Muen to escape. The two guards of the Taiwei's mansion were hacked to death under the anger of the prince. Lu Qian did not dare to hide too much. , When Gao Qiu hurriedly brought people there and cried and complained that he deserved death, the matter had already been set down.

The next thing, Cheng Zhouhai has been preparing for so long, and it will not go wrong.But Ning Yi, as one of those involved, didn't want to be left behind, so he had to arrange to leave as soon as possible. When he came back last night, he told Xiaochan about what he was going to arrange for a long time, and this morning he started to do things to Yunzhu and Jin'er exhort.The matter suddenly moved forward a day, and although there was a lot to say in each other's hearts, they couldn't say it for a while.

At this time, in the royal study room of the imperial palace, today's emperor, who was in his 30s, was also throwing things that he could see in front of him, and lost his temper with the Taiwei Gao Qiu who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"Bastard! Gao Qiu! I really misread you, you have no way to teach your son, and I did all this kind of thing for me!"

He threw a glazed lamp to the ground and cursed loudly.

"My niece! Come here to congratulate the Queen Mother! In the land of the capital, such a thing happened at the feet of my emperor! Huahua is too old! The Queen Mother was furious this morning, how can I be this son, how can I be this uncle! Gao Qiu! You! If you think I appreciate you, you can be lawless!"

Gao Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground, complied with his promises, accusing himself of the guilt again and again, but at the end he revealed that the rebel might have been framed. Before he finished speaking, a plate smashed again in front of him.

"Framed! Captain Gao! What kind of virtue is your son, do you think there is anyone in Bianliang City who doesn't know! Do you think I sit in this palace all day, so I really don't know the world of Limin? Your son, evil There are traces of traces, I did not kill him, because I thought that you, the captain, still have some credit and hard work. But now you still dare to call out injustice in front of me?"

"The culprit dare not..." Gao Qiu did not dare to argue any more, "That renegade son has misbehavior, it is because the culprit has taught him no way, this time he will be punished severely, and he will never be tolerated..."

There was only one word here, and the top scolded him furiously for a while before scolding him to get out of the way.It was only after Gao Qiu left that the palace servants came in to clean up the debris on the ground. The emperor Zhou Zhe sat behind the desk, but his expression showed no trace of his anger, and he even stretched out his hand to adjust the tie of the crown.

The woman in the queen's palace uniform came over from behind with the soup and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is so angry."

"His son is messed up, not to the point where he dares to attack the county master. I don't know who is behind the attack, but this loss, he has to eat it for me." The man in the royal robe looked calm and calm, " Civil servants, military ministers, loyal ministers and jesters, it is also beneficial to be able to make trouble. After all, the way of the emperor is the most important check and balance. I don’t care who is playing the conspiracy this time, but it involves the royal family. If I still speak for Gao Qiu, then he will die. It's settled. If I scold him, I will save him, he will understand... What do you think, Queen?"

"Your Majesty, Shengming. However, who is involved in the little county master this time, don't you really need to find out?"

"What if it's clear?" The emperor smiled, took the spoon from the queen's hand, and took a sip of sugary water, "In the royal family, although they are relatives of Zhen, most of them are stupid, and inside and outside the court are all smart people. They are playing. When they are involved and when they are expelled, even they themselves may not know. If each of them is used, I have to intervene. Wouldn't it be exhausting? I care about the world's major affairs, as for the court. Fight, what the truth is, I have no psychological understanding, as long as they are balanced."

What happened last night was a matter of life for many people, but for the emperor, it was just like a small wind bell passing under the eaves of the palace, and was drowned in the wind in a blink of an eye.

Around noon, Ning Yi walked into Prince Chong's mansion and into the courtyard where Zhou Pei now lived. The girl with a bandage on her head was waiting for him under the eaves.In yesterday's fight, Zhou Pei wanted to put Gao Muen to death. Gao Muen was chopped off two fingers and then called for help and ran away. He also tried to fight back, causing Zhou Pei to suffer some minor injuries, but such a bandage was definitely Used to earn sympathy.Just the bandages and the smell of medicine made the girl in front of her look extra delicate.

"Why do such a thing?"

"Zhou Pei is about to go back and wants to do something for the teacher. This matter... Zhou Pei has thought about it before and after, and I hope it doesn't cause too much trouble for the teacher."

"It's okay. It's just that you are only 15 years old, you shouldn't take such risks, and you shouldn't be involved in these things... You shouldn't trust people casually."

The sun was shining brightly, the two sat down in the shade in the courtyard, Zhou Pei smiled with a blushing face.

"Actually... I'm going to get married when I go back. I can do something for the teacher before. The most important thing is that for Xiao Pei to do this kind of thing, it's also... I think it's very meaningful."

She used to call herself "Zhou Pei", but now she changed to "Xiao Pei". Ning Yi listened to her words and looked at her expression, and vaguely felt that after what happened yesterday, the girl in front of her seemed to be a little different. These decisions have gained some insight.

"Have you decided to get married?"

"Well." Zhou Pei's expression darkened a little, and then he laughed again, "After all... it can't be dragged on. I haven't found a man who feels... suitable, but what should be faced is always to be faced, drag on. There is no way, teacher, what do you think?"

"It's not good to do things for the sake of doing things, but you can figure it out, whatever you want."

Zhou Pei said with a smile: "By the way, what was the teacher and Tan'er sister like before?"

"Didn't you always know?"

"I know a little bit, can the teacher talk to Xiao Pei?"

The look on the face of the little princess was a little longing, Ning Yi thought for a while: "Oh, we, when we first got married, we didn't know each other at all. I was beaten on the head and she ran away from the marriage..."

He recalled those things, and told Zhou Pei about the entanglement between him and his wife: "Actually... as long as everyone is willing to get to know each other sincerely, after all, they can still find a good place for each other, I think This is the basis for getting along, and when you go back, you don’t have to think too much about life with others. At least half of the reason for how people relate to others is your own.”

"Yeah." Zhou Pei nodded.When Ning Yi was about to leave, she sent Ning Yi to the gate of the courtyard and smiled hard: "Teacher."

"Huh?" Ning Yi turned around.

"Will we...will not see each other in the future?"

"Maybe I won't see much." Looking at the smiling girl standing two steps away, Ning Yi said with a smile, "Maybe you will be in Jiangning and I will be in Bianliang in the future, but I will always go back, and you may come up too. The fate between teachers and students, as long as there is a heart, it will not be completely broken."

"Well...Teacher, please take care." She looked at Ning Yi, and after saying this, she leaned down, deeply blessed.It was an almost perfect lady's etiquette. Under the sun, Ning Yi felt as beautiful as water.

Sure enough... I can't teach such a disciple...

He thought so and left the palace.

After Ning Yi's figure left, Zhou Pei sat under the tree in the yard, waiting for the sun to set in the west. There were some things she couldn't see, but she knew in her heart.When the sun was down a little, Ning Yi and his chariots and horses said goodbye by the mound outside the city. Yunzhu and Jin'er didn't come over, and Xiaochan was also left in the city. At this time, he was still full of Xiaochan. The way he looked when he was packing his luggage while crying: "Xiang Gong, can't you take me there too..." The taste of tears in my heart.

This time to Shandong, in addition to a few good guards in the prime minister's residence, they are the three brothers of the Qi family and Su Wenyu of the Su family. As for Su Yanping, they were left in Bianliang to take care of them. Go to Shandong to report and meet with him.

Monk Jue Ming, Yao Zunian, Cheng Zhouhai and others came out to see him off.Not long after, a car drove over, and Qin Siyuan came out, talking to Ning Yi.

"Things in Liangshan are not easy. I know you are eager for revenge, but if you can't solve it, it doesn't matter. No one here dares to say that they can solve the problem of Liangshan bandits.

"I know." Ning Yi nodded, "Yunzhu, Jin'er, Xiaochan, and Tan'er who is coming up, they are very important to me, please, I'm usually not afraid, but after this incident, I hope Gao Muen will not Something will happen."

"The old man understands the importance of this matter, and will arrange manpower to prevent it from happening. This matter is handled by Ji Kun, he is the most meticulous in his work, and Liheng can rest assured. In Bianliang City, no one can touch them." Qin Siyuan paused, "Zhouhai here. This plan is indeed feasible, and the old man agreed to it secretly. It might catch Liheng a little bit by surprise. The old man will be responsible for the solution. Zhou Hai's character is not bad, but it still lacks tempering. He went to the north to supervise food..."

"Uh...hehe..." Ning Yi laughed, "It seems that he can't kill Gao Muen..."

"If the captain comes down, if he is too old for this Huahua, the old man will kill him..." Qin Siyuan sighed and shook his head.

After a while, I said goodbye to everyone.

"I am confident that I will live for 200 years, and I will be hit by water for [-] miles. You all have important things to do on your body. Go back... Take care."

The chariots and horses whipped their whips, left Bianliang, and went east.

As the day slanted westward, before long, the sky was burning with red clouds.After the sunset fell and the stars rose, Cheng Zhouhai walked into Prince Chong's mansion. After entering the courtyard, he saw the little princess sitting under the moonlight.

"Mr. Cheng..."

"In the afternoon, Young Master Ning has already left Bianliang. I think...you should come and tell the county master."

"I know."

Zhou Pei nodded and replied, Cheng Zhouhai stood there for a while.

"Excuse me for speaking bluntly, if His Royal Highness likes Young Master Ning." When Zhou Pei's sharp eyes looked over, he smiled calmly, "Why don't you fight for it?"

Zhou Pei looked at him for a while, before a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Cheng, what about fighting for it?"

"If you want to delay, there is still a way, such as becoming a monk... or being frightened this time..."

"After Zhou Pei fights, will the teacher like me?"

"Uh……"

"Teacher won't like me, I have already figured it out. Teacher...there are many women around him, and he is not a person who is not affectionate, but...that is fate, I have known the teacher for more than two years, slowly I know him, understand him, admire him, but I may not really understand him, the teacher is always the teacher, and I have always been just his disciple, two years... this is all fate..."

Zhou Pei said this, his eyes were lowered, his eyes were clear: "...I suddenly grew up, and this fate will come to an end."

Cheng Zhouhai was stunned for a while. After all, he was a warm-hearted person. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only give up: "Then... After the county master returns, he will get married. Cheng Mou will be there. I wish the county master and county Ma Qinse peace and happiness in the future."

Zhou Pei smiled: "Actually... getting married is not a big deal. Mr. Cheng, I'm very happy to be able to do such a thing for the teacher before getting married. But the experience last night also suddenly told Zhou Pei, Zhou Pei It's always a royal family, always bothering about getting married, and it's too petty. I also hope to be happy in the future. But what this incident really tells me is that Zhou Pei still has a lot of things to do. "

The girl looked at Chengzhouhai, and Yingying got up: "For example, there is another Gao Muen who is domineering, for example, there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, ruining my military foundation... I always wanted to do something, but I always felt that I was a woman. , can't do anything, so I often lose my temper with my lazy younger brother and hate that iron is not steel. But this incident tells me that as long as I want to do it, there is always a way to do it. This time... Zhou Pei wants to thank Guocheng If there is a chance in the future, I will thank Mr. Yu for your help.”

"Uh... easy to say." Cheng Zhouhai cupped his hands, vaguely not knowing whether the things in front of him were good or bad.He saw the 15-year-old girl standing there, looking at the night sky. She was no taller than him, but there was a faint arrogance in that figure, and he knew it was the aura brought by the power of the royal family.

Cheng Zhouhai said goodbye and left.

Zhou Pei stood there for a while, the air cooled down and there was no one around, and she felt water stains slip off her face.

Tears are cold... The teacher has left...

From last night to today, she has thought about a lot of things in her heart. There are many things that she can do in the future, and there are also many things that she will never be able to do in the future.But thinking about things clearly can only be put in the future, and will not help you take care of your current emotions.

She just didn't want to be weak in front of others.

Destiny is over... I can't see you... The teacher finally left...

When she met him, she was 13 years old, and when she found out that she liked him, she was 15 years old, but he was leaving and she was getting married.

Think clearly, but also can not contain the sadness in my heart.After tonight, youth has passed away, like a corpse buried in the soil, new trees will sprout, old bodies will die, one can pretend to be strong, but no one knows what awaits in the future.

She stood there, leaning on the trees in the yard, lowered her head, covered her mouth and wept silently.In her consciousness, there was such a carriage, which left Bianliang this afternoon and drove eastward at night. The teacher she liked when she was 15 was on the carriage, and then the carriage kept moving away from her without stopping. It's getting farther and farther...

In the sky, shooting stars crossed.

****************
Luliang Mountain and Qingmu Village.

Lu Hongti raised her head and watched the meteor streak across the night sky. Then she stroked the hair on the side of her ear and walked into the hut in front of her. In the room, the old man was holding a writing brush and was studying something at his desk.

"Grandpa Liang, I'm in."

"Oh." Liang Bingfu tilted his head and sorted out the things on the table. After a while, he nodded, "Oh, Hongti, you are here..."

"Grandpa Liang, you said you had something to do before, what's the matter?"

"Go out for a walk." Liang Bingfu thought for a while, then put on his crutches and got up to go out, with Lu Hongti following him.Looking down from the hillside, people in Qingmu Village come and go, lighting up the lights. This is one of Lu Hongti's favorite scenes.

"What do you think about the matter of Meng Shui Village coming to propose marriage before?"

After walking for a while, Liang Bingfu suddenly asked, which made the woman stunned for a while: "Grandpa Liang, why do you suddenly ask this..." There have been more than one marriage proposals, and Meng Shuizhai's proposal was not special. She was a little confused. Why mention it.

Liang Bingfuzhu smiled with his cane: "Just a casual question, what do you think?"

"I think...it's like, it's not...er..." He was too young to refuse too much, and Lu Hongti was a little hesitant to say it.Liang Bingfu stood by the roadside on the mountainside, looked at the scene below, and smiled for a while.

"Actually... Lu San and Li Li went south together."

"Ok?"

"Hongti, pack your luggage and go south again."

"Grandpa Liang, what's going on?"

Speaking of this, he finally got the atmosphere of serious business. Lu Hong raised his doubts, Liang Bingfu stood there, holding a cane, his eyes serious.

"Lu San, Li Li and these people have been restless since they were driven out of the stockade. They went south to find trouble for Ning Liheng. These people have never left Luliang in their entire lives, and the south is prosperous. Many of their things are I don't know, they asked Tian Liu to lead the way, they thought I wouldn't know their movements?"

In the wild land of Luliang Mountain, many things are solved with knives. Survival has different rules. Although these people seem to be free, they live on their own land all their lives, and they may not be able to adapt to going to other places. From far away, there are always some people who have been to the outside world who can help lead the way and teach them customs.Tian Liu mentioned by Liang Bingfu is one of these people.Lu Hongti said after a long while, "Grandpa Liang, this..."

"They've been gone for several days. You can't stop them in Luliang."

"But I... can't go now. Grandpa Liang, everything is just on the right track... Qing Muzhai is like this, how can I go?"

"I've thought about it too." Liang Bingfu closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed, "But... it's okay for a while, I can help you watch for a while..."

"No, Grandpa Liang..." The woman shook her head and passed for a moment, "That...that Ning Liheng, he learned my kung fu, he is very powerful, Lu San and the others can't beat him, if it's a conspiracy, They're just going to die, I don't have to worry about him at all..."

Liang Bingfu looked at her: "Are you really so sure?"

"I..." Lu Hongti was speechless. After a long while, he looked at the old man in front of him, "...Why?"

"You should... live for yourself." The old man glanced at her and smiled, "You reject these people, they are indeed not very good, but even if there are good ones, I won't say anything. That Ning Liheng, you like him... Oh, don't say no to this old man. You should also like someone, there's nothing shameful about liking him. I'm already old, and it's hard for you to support this stockade. Years, but when I can still hold on, I hope you can do something else, maybe you won't have this chance in the future..."

Lu Hongti was silent for a moment, then showed a smile: "We are friends, and I do think... He is very powerful, but I can't bring him back to the mountains..."

"Of course it's the best thing to be able to bring him back." The old man smiled, "But even now, if you go to see him more, maybe you can do something, you have to go first, and then there will be things in the future. Hongti... Take advantage of the present, even if there is no result, I will be very happy to think of these things in the future. You have carried so much for the stockade, you have to leave something good..."

"I think it's fine now..."

"Heh, Grandpa Liang isn't urging you to get married. You really don't want to be like this in Mount Luliang, so wait. Go see him, talk to him, talk about... what happened in Mount Luliang, and then look at him. What you have done. As for whether it can be done or not, Grandpa Liang will not say what will happen after you come back, okay?"

Hongti stood there, looking at the lights below, his fingers twisted together: "What about the stockade? It's just like this..."

"Lu Liangshan has no rules in the first place. The things Ning Liheng wrote are too strict. You must implement them. It's fine for the time being, but if you want a long time, you have to take your time." The old man said, "When you go out , I am doing strict things, and I will suppress things. After you come back, if you change a little, they will all accept your love. I have thought about all these things. Although I am old, I can still suppress it for half a year and a year. bear it."

After a long silence, Hongti suddenly said, "Grandpa Liang, are you and her master..."

Before she could finish her question, Liang Bingfu's crutches paused twice, his eyes looked down, his expression changed, but in the end he just said: "It was your master who saved me, I came here... I didn't say anything, Some things have not been done, and when you are old, you may regret it."

Lu Hongti looked at him for a long while before nodding: "...I'll think about it."

"Well, think about it."

After saying this, Lu Hongti walked down the hill, she didn't know what to do.When he turned his head, the figure on the mountainside was still standing there, holding a cane, and looking at the deep night in the distance.

In my impression, Master is much older than me, and Grandpa Liang was a gentle and elegant middle-aged scholar when he was young, but until Master died, Grandpa Liang grew old rapidly.

I used to think that Grandpa Liang suddenly got old because he couldn't help this stockade.Master rescued him. It seemed that he had this idea originally. Grandpa Liang did a lot of things, some of which were useful, some of which were useless. In the end, he just let this stockade be preserved until the people alive today will grow it. .

What happened to the Confucian scholar and the heroine of that year?Now some of those involved are dead, and those who are alive probably don’t want to talk about it anymore.Hongti stood there, looking at the figure, thinking about what he was looking at.

The starlight fell.

Submerged in that darkness, probably belongs to their story.

Thinking about it like that, it's a little sad.
