Peach Blossom Song

The county magistrate Qu, who refused to join forces with others, died suddenly.

When they set off from the official post in the morning, Lu Shangshu sent a team to the county office where the magistrate of Qu County was located, and invited him to Dongcheng County.

Lu Shangshu informed the King of Han about this matter.

The magistrate of Qu County was the first to file a complaint, so he should be summoned for questioning, and he is also involved in trouble, so he must know a lot of inside information, and his help is indispensable when investigating the case.

But who knows, he died suddenly.

Lu Shangshu's expression was extremely ugly: "There are turbulent undercurrents in this Dongcheng County, and the waves are treacherous. Your Highness needs to be very careful these few days."

How can a good person suddenly die suddenly? It must be silenced.The memorial has been sent to Beijing, and His Majesty ordered the only emperor's younger brother to be an imperial envoy to go out of Beijing to appease the people, and also appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to be the deputy envoy to take charge of the case, which can be said to be ignored.Under such circumstances, they still dare to kill people to silence them, it is simply frenzied!

Lu Shangshu was very angry, but he was very self-restraint, he held back and refused to show it on his face. As a result, his weather-beaten eyes were dark and dark, like a layer of black clouds, and there would be a storm at any time.

No matter how ignorant the King of Han was, he also knew that there must be something inside the death of Qu County Magistrate.She always thought Ji Wen was a bad person, but she didn't expect him to be worse than she could think.

The King of Han frowned, and said angrily, "It's really lawless!"

Lu Shangshu sighed. After thinking about it carefully, he understood that what Ji Wen and others committed was a capital crime. It was death horizontally and vertically. It's better to fight hard, maybe you can earn a chance.Fortunately, His Majesty sent a thousand Yulin to go with him. He and His Majesty were protected by soldiers, so their lives would be safe.

The weather was already scorching hot, and it became dull at noon, and the endless chirping of cicadas outside the window made people upset.Lu Shangshu wiped his sweat with his hands, thinking about what to do next.

The King of Han lifted the pot, poured herbal tea into the cup, and pushed it to the table in front of Lu Shangshu. Lu Shangshu hurriedly thanked him: "Your Majesty, I have killed the old minister."

Seeing him being so respectful, the King of Han was a little embarrassed and ashamed, so he had to force a smile: "I don't know anything, and the rest is all up to the old Shangshu. If you have any errands, you just say it."

She really had no idea, she knew that Magistrate Qu's death was murdered by someone, and she knew who murdered him, but how to find evidence and convict that person, she couldn't do anything.

Her fair little face was full of embarrassment.

Lu Shangshu shook his head and said, "How dare you call him a dispatcher? This minister is only a few dozen years older than His Highness, and has more experience."

After he finished speaking, he wondered where to start.

When they left Beijing, Lu Shangshu entrusted his colleagues to send a copy of the evidence that Qu County Magistrate sent to Beijing.Colleagues extracted all the evidence and memorials, and sent them to them urgently within eight hundred miles.

There are very few evidences, and all important matters are written in memorials.The memorial describes in detail how Ji Wen collaborated with the big and small officials of the two counties to extort money, and how the magistrates of the counties may not be in the same boat as them.It's a pity that Ji Wen acted cautiously and didn't fall into any trap.

Lu Shangshu thought for a while, and said: "Since the county magistrate Qu died suddenly, let's investigate the cause of his death. He died strangely, there must be clues left, and the county magistrate Qu was able to hide it from many eyes and ears, and submitted memorials to Beijing, so it can be seen It is meticulous and cautious, and it is not allowed to leave any other evidence."

Either way, the King of Han thought it was feasible, so he told her plan again: "They can't tell the whole county to tell lies with them. There are always people who can tell the truth."

Lu Shangshu listened and nodded, approving: "Yes, after all, the city is where the county is located, and the people live under the watchful eyes of the county guard, and some dare not tell the truth, and the people in the city are richer after all, and they were exploited by Ji Wen They don’t dare to fight against the government when they can live on. The remoter villages are different. They are already poor and scratched. The people must be resentful. Now someone can help They are the masters, and they will naturally tell the truth. Your Highness thinks very well."

The king of Han was praised, and suddenly became shy, very shy.

After Lu Shangshu finished speaking, the two went their separate ways.

Having said that, it's getting late.The king of Han turned into the inner room, only to see the princess taking out a thin gown from the cage.

The king of Han walked over and looked curiously, and saw that he was wearing an ordinary red shirt, but the material was very expensive.

"Should I change into this shirt?" King Han took Zhu shirt and looked down carefully.

Just now when I talked with Lu Shangshu, the princess was in the inner room, so I heard every word clearly.The concubine smiled and said: "The common people are exploited, and they may not trust the officials. Your Highness may wish to pretend to be a family member who travels around to study."

His Highness is pure in nature, not good at putting on airs, and more than ten years of court life has infected her with dignity in every gesture, so it is appropriate to pretend to be a family member who is dedicated to academics and ignorant of world affairs.

The King of Han often went to the East and West Markets to buy scripts, and walked in the market, surrounded by many attendants. He had never tried what it was like to pretend to be a nobleman.She became very excited, changed her clothes, took off the crown, and put on a warm jade crown, she looked like a noble and innocent young man.

"Does it look good?" King Han asked with his head tilted.

The princess nodded: "It looks good."

The King of Han laughed so hard that his brows and eyes crooked, and said, "A Yao, I'm going."

The concubine still hung the pouch around the waist for the King of Han: "Go, bring more people."

The king of Han agreed and strode out of the inner room.

The sunlight outside seems less glaring than at noon, but the temperature is hotter and stuffy, as if meeting the sun will make people sweat profusely.

The king of Han was stunned for a moment, remembered something, turned back, grabbed the corner of the princess's clothes, and asked: "A Yao, if I settle this case, make the evildoers suffer their own consequences, and make the victims justice, can it be counted?" doing good deeds?"

The princess didn't expect that she came back to ask about this matter, remembering that she asked how to become a fairy a few days ago, she couldn't help softening her expression: "It's natural, there are more than [-] people in the two counties, Your Highness relieved them from hunger and cold." It is a great merit to benefit all sentient beings.”

Hearing that it was a great merit, the king of Han breathed a sigh of relief, showing a very happy look: "Then I will go." After taking two steps, he ran back and said, "I have to kiss before leaving."

It's not early, this trip will have to rest outside tonight, and the kiss at night will not be in time.The king of Han raised his face and wanted to kiss.

The concubine smiled lightly, bowed her head and tapped her lips lightly, the king of Han was overjoyed, stretched out his arms to hug the concubine's neck, and left with a smile.

When the door was closed, the princess suppressed her smile, but her eyes were still soft, as if the sun had not had time to put away the warmth in the cold of late autumn.

It's not so easy to become an immortal. If you accumulate ten lifetimes, if you don't do one evil deed, you may not be able to get an immortal status.As long as His Highness does more good deeds, he will be reborn in a wealthy and happy family in the next life, and live a smooth and safe life.

The king of Han rode his horse, took a staff member, ordered more than ten skilled attendants, and rode out of the city.

When they first arrived, they couldn't figure out where the richness was and where the remoteness was. They only thought that Ji Wen and the others had no time to arrange the counties and villages that were a little farther away from the county seat.

The staff knew the world situation, so they inquired about it at the tea shop beside the official road outside the city.They are a group of people dressed in rich clothes and jade crowns, who seem to be from a wealthy family, which makes people vigilant, but the young man in the middle is born, he is beautiful, but extremely kind and pure, like a young man who goes out to play.

Seeing her, no matter how much vigilance you have, you will have to let go of most of it. The staff is tactful and extremely humane. After a few words, I have already talked half of it with the owner of the tea shop.

"If you want to talk about the place to play, it is naturally in the city. The young master is a rich man, so he likes to be prosperous. It's just..." The host hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and lowered his voice. The old man said a few words. It is best not to go to the city these few days. There is a big incident in the east city. I heard that two imperial envoys have come today. They are so powerful that even the monarch has to get off his horse and bow down. Several of them are foreigners. I'm afraid I don't know, a big incident happened in Dongcheng County a while ago..."

Hearing what he said, the King of Han and his staff were all shocked, but the master suddenly stopped talking, a trace of fear flashed across his face: "Look at me, I almost slipped my mouth." Afraid that the guests would be offended, he hurriedly Explained, "It's not that I can't trust a few nobles, but it's because the lord of the government sent an order to the whole county not to talk too much with outsiders, otherwise... well, how dare the ordinary people talk too much."

The aide laughed and said, "Who says it's not? In these years, if you listen to the officials, you can still live in peace for a few days."

The host smiled bitterly: "It's because the young master doesn't look like an official, so the young old man dares to say a few more words. If the young master wants to play, there are many good places in the county besides the city."

Knowing that he was speechless, the staff led him to introduce all the places in Dongcheng County.

At this time, the weather was still hot, there were not many merchants in the past, and they were talking about the country. The host came to talk about it with joy, and the King of Han knew the general idea.

After he retired, he agreed with his staff on a small county, and then set off for that place.

The small county is not too far away, but because most of the land is mountains, there is nowhere to grow crops, so it is a bit poor.

The King of Han rode fast all the way. Sure enough, after riding for two hours, he saw mountains everywhere.

Summer days are long and dark is late.

Fearing that His Highness would be tired, the staff members suggested getting off the horse to rest when they walked to a small temple.

The King of Han was indeed tired, so he got off his horse and entered the temple as he said.

The small temple is also very dilapidated in the poor countryside.The king of Han had been to a magnificent ancient temple like the White Horse Temple, but he had never been to such a dilapidated temple where even the body of the Buddha was mottled.

She found a futon to sit down on, and unexpectedly found that although the temple is small, it has all internal organs, the Buddhist altar is not stained with dust, and the futon is old, but it is also clean, and it can be seen that someone takes care of it.

The staff also noticed: "There is someone to take care of here. If you want to come within a radius of ten miles, there must be someone. It's not early, and it will be dark in half an hour. The mountain road is difficult. According to my opinion, it is better to find a household." People, rest overnight."

The king of Han listened to him, and looked up, and saw a few sticks of incense scattered on the altar.She stepped forward and picked the best of the three.Even though the staff were clever, they couldn't help being stunned at this moment. After a while, Fang came to his senses, took out the fire pocket from his bosom, and lit the incense.

The king of Han knelt in front of the Buddha, bowed reverently twice, and silently made a wish in his heart: "This time I came here to investigate the case and appease the people. The case is complicated and confusing, and the people are trapped. Just mentioning it, Fang has some eyebrows. There are spirits in heaven and earth, if morality is made clear, the credit should go to the princess."

She doesn't know how to make a wish in front of the Buddha, whether the gods and Buddhas can hear it, if the larger Buddhist temple is more spiritual, she should go to the White Horse Temple after returning to Beijing.But by then the dust had settled, the case had been investigated, and the people had finished their care. I don't know if it would be too late to say that it was the concubine's credit.

The king of Han thought of his concubine, and felt that since he got married, he had been happy every day.Since there are merits and virtues, maybe she has done good deeds and accumulated virtues for many lifetimes, and cultivated for several lifetimes before she was allowed to cultivate a princess to be with her.

The king of Han thought that the princess was a demon, and feared that the gods and Buddhas would be prejudiced against the princess, so he hurriedly said in his heart: "Although the princess is a peach tree, she has never done evil. On the contrary, she is always kind to others. She is the best person in the world. Xiao Yuan was born Ignorant, ignorant and ignorant, if there is no princess, I am afraid that I will spend my whole life in a daze and rush through it. I don’t know the difficulties of the common people and the vicissitudes of the world. The changes today are the result of the princess’s care. If I am lucky enough to have meritorious deeds in the future, I will remember them all On the princess, I pray for the blessings of the gods and Buddhas."
