Those years when I was Princess Yan

The prefect Wang Ao hurriedly rushed over with his black gauze hat on. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves, straightened his robes, barely maintained his posture, and stepped into the hall.

As soon as he entered the door, the ground was covered with blood, and the smell of blood was so strong that Wang Ao almost vomited out the flower wine he drank last night.Wang Ao's eyes rounded in shock, and his whole body trembled with fright.

After seeing the situation in the room clearly, Wang Ao glanced at the young man sitting in the hall in awe. His sword eyebrows were drawn into his temples and he was walking forward in a heroic manner. The gold-woven coiled dragon pattern is shining brightly, the jade belt is around the waist, and there is a white dragon-carved jade pendant with yellow tassels hanging on it. There is no part of his body that does not show his noble status.

At this moment, he was sitting in a casual posture, with his eyes half downcast, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his lips, and he was fiddling with the jade fan in his hand.The slender fingers like onion roots fell between the bones, and there was an indescribably exquisite beauty.

If it wasn't for the bloody corpse in the middle of the hall that stimulated his nerves all the time, Wang Ao would never have imagined that this unparalleled and handsome man in front of him would be so bloodthirsty and vicious, making people tremble with fear.

Wang Aoqiang suppressed his trembling heart, and respectfully apologized to His Royal Highness King Yan.

King Yan didn't pay any attention to his intentions, the guard beside him opened his mouth and spared Wang Ao's gift.

Wang Ao stood up in embarrassment, hey hey smiled, pointed carefully at the corpse on the ground that was tied up like a hedgehog, and asked, "This...is this?"

The fan was suddenly put away.

Everyone present was silent, Wang Ao was so frightened that he swallowed.

Zhu Di slowly raised his eyes, scanning the first group of people waiting.

Everyone tightened their heads and dared not make any mistakes. The feeling of being glanced at by him was like a poisonous snake crawling along the back to the neck, spitting out wet and cold letters, and was in danger of being killed by one bite at any time.

"No... No matter what, since the prince punished him, he must die!" Wang Ao was worried that he might have said something wrong before, so he immediately stuttered to make amends.

After a while, Zhu Di chuckled, lowered his eyes and continued playing with the fan.

The guard Qiu Fu spoke again: "I think you all know who this person is. This is Lu Xiangrong, the procurator of Fengyang Mansion, who was nicknamed 'Poison Dart Lu' by people from Jianghu."

"He... he is... from the rivers and lakes?" Wang Ao wanted to say that he didn't know the prosecutor, but he was afraid that he would be punished for the crime of negligence and slack, "poison dart Lu? More darts, the blood from this wound is still black."

"It was this person who revealed the route of the lords to the assassin. At the beginning, the magistrate sent someone to ask about the route, and said that he would properly arrange the meals and lodgings of the lords. Is that how it was arranged?" Qiu Fu asked sharply.

Wang Ao was so frightened that the blood on his face faded in an instant, he knelt down again trembling, kowtowed and complained, expressing that he really didn't know about it.

Luo Xing and other officials present also knelt down and pleaded guilty again.

After a stick of incense, Wang Bo left the lobby with Luo Xing and others sweating profusely. The first thing he did when he came out was to quickly wipe the cold sweat off his face.

"What's going on? What does it mean, my lord?"

Just now after Wang Ao defended his innocence, King Yan didn't say anything.They knelt quietly for a stick of incense and were sent away.Did King Yan believe in his innocence or not?He didn't say a happy word, which made people think wildly and uneasy, he almost scared himself to death.

Of course Luo Xing didn't know, and shook his head helplessly.As expected, this Lord Yan was as rumored, a master with an unpredictable personality.For such a character, if anyone can guess and understand his thoughts, he is afraid that he is not far from death.

"Oh, I've really had a bad luck today."

Wang Ao was very regretful, last night he shouldn't have thought about relaxing and eating flower wine, so that he fell asleep and fell asleep, much later than others.He shouldn't be meddling, and sent someone to ask the three princes' route, so that he fell into such a passive situation.

"Actually, it's good to be late. At least you didn't see how that Lu Xiangrong was tortured. One dart after another dart was pierced into the body, but it missed the vital part. The poison on the dart is chronic. It covered the whole body, and the blood was almost gone. , Only then died of poison. Not to mention the feeling of being in it at that time, the lower official recalled it now, and his heart, liver and lungs were almost shattered." Luo Xing patted his chest in fear.

Wang Ao hurriedly asked: "Then did you find anything from Lu Xiangrong's mouth?"

"That's the fault, I just tortured him without asking a word. But that Lu Xiangrong babbled a lot of begging for mercy, but Lord Yan didn't pay attention at all, just playing with his fan."

The more Wang Ao listened, the more frightened he became, "Since he didn't ask, the King of Yan already knew it. He deliberately came to Fengyang Mansion early in the morning, clearly warning us on purpose. Pass on my order." , the entire family will behave like a man with their tails between their legs, no one can make mistakes!"

Luo Xing agreed, hesitated several times, and stopped talking.

Wang Ao said impatiently: "What time is it? If you have something to say, hurry up and hold it back."

"The lower official has an idea that I don't know if it is suitable, please listen to it." Luo Xing told Wang Ao about the concept of peace, and repeated Xu Qingqing's proposal.

"No one is exempt. Who doesn't want to gain a good name in front of the Holy One? This is a good way to sell." Wang Ao calmed down a little, and after thinking about it, he said to Luo Xing, "Well, let's put this case to rest." If the story is more confusing, the prince will be more wise and powerful when he solves the case, so he will be happy then."

When Luo Xing saw Wang Zhifu's response, he felt at ease, and this was also an explanation to Aunt Xu.

Xu Qingqing and Chu Qiu found a few reputable carpenters in Fengyang City, took them to the market to order wood and other materials, and paid them all the wages.

"It's just that some people said that we did a good job and paid the money first without inspection and acceptance. Aunt Xu was the first one. Are you afraid that we will be fooled by our work?" Carpenter Yang asked jokingly.

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Do you know whose house I came out of this morning?"

Carpenter Yang and others were puzzled, "Whose family?"

"Luo Tongjue." Xu Qingqing didn't say much, just glanced at them with a smile, and waved goodbye, "Then I will wait for you safely."

Carpenter Yang and the others saw the confident posture of the little Taoist nun, but they dared not doubt her friendship with Luo Tongpan.After inquiring a little bit later, I learned that Daoist Xu had saved Mrs. Tongju's life, so she didn't dare to neglect her, just do a good job.

……

Xu Qingqing handed over the remaining money to Chu Qiu for safekeeping.Senior Sister Chu knows some boxing skills and has better physical strength than her.

After Chu Qiu took the money, his expression was heavy. There were only 35 taels of silver left.

"Qingqing, can we make it through?"

"sure."

The simple and neat two words, full of confidence and firmness, can comfort people more than any other words.

Chu Qiu looked at her junior sister without worry, and laughed happily, she believed in her junior sister.

The two hired a carriage to buy food and vegetables, and heard many people in the market talking about the recent gangsters in Fengyang City.

"Her aunt, don't ask your daughter to go out these days, it's very evil. Yesterday, the youngest daughter of the old Zhang family went out for a drink and never came back."

"Oh my god, did you get robbed by those gangsters? The old grandson who sells tofu told me that he saw two big men robbing a little girl in the street."

"Hey, why doesn't the yamen take care of it? People who raise daughters have to watch closely, they really can't go out!"

……

Xu Qingqing put away the freshly bought vegetable seeds, and couldn't help but think of their original ending in the story: after the Taoist temple was burned down, the Taoist nuns were homeless, and later they were coveted by lecherous gangsters when they were wandering.

This 'lustful and indiscriminate rascal' refers to the gangsters who are making trouble in Fengyang City today.

She thought it was strange at first, although these Taoist nuns are all weak girls, but at least they are numerous and powerful, and some of them can do some simple fists and kicks. Gangsters in the rivers and lakes.

Although they escaped unharmed now, as long as these villains are around, innocent girls will still be killed. Xu Qingqing doesn't want to let these villains go.

However, the prefect Wang of Fengyang Mansion is an idiot who doesn't do anything, and he can't be counted on in this matter.

"Qingqing, with the two of us like this, we can't beat those bandits. Don't overestimate your strength." Chu Qiu advised Xu Qingqing to return to the Taoist temple as soon as possible, "You are the backbone of everyone now, so nothing can happen."

"King Yan is here." Xu Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

There are not many descriptions about King Yan in the story, but the weight is not light.

The King of Yan was once displeased by Liu Lingxiu's offense, and sent someone to feel sorry for Liu Lingxiu. Liu Lingxiu was almost hunted to death. Later, the male protagonist Mu Jingchun came forward to mediate, and begged the King of Yan based on the friendship they had formed since childhood. Only then did King Yan let Liu Lingxiu go.Afterwards, it was mentioned incidentally in the story that the King of Yan became emperor.

Is there anything more powerful than the emperor in this world.

Since he can fight to become the emperor by himself, this King Yan will definitely not be a fool, let him deal with a few gangsters more than enough!

The current problem is, how can King Yan voluntarily deal with the bandits?

Xu Qingqing asked Chu Qiu to go back to the Taoist temple first. She had something to do and she had to stay in Fengyang for another night.Chu Qiu originally wanted to stay with Xu Qingqing, but the carriage was already hired and everything was bought, so he had to agree and told Xu Qingqing to be careful.

"Don't worry, I brought a dagger with me, as well as a medicine powder that makes my body itchy, so I can't suffer."

Xu Qingqing bid farewell to Chu Qiu, and went to the crowded market to inquire...

It was night, just after Haishi, and the lights had already been turned off everywhere.

Nine Kongming lanterns suddenly rose in the northwest and northeast directions of Fengyang Mansion, and a long strip of red paper was tied under the lanterns, which was swayed by the wind.

Qiu Fu was guarding the door of the prince's bedroom with a knife in his hand. After noticing something strange, he ordered someone to knock down a lamp.After seeing what was written on the red paper, Qiu Fu was so horrified that he immediately ordered his subordinates to take down all the lamps and burn them clean.

"If one is lost, all of them will die!"

Soon, all Kongming lanterns were burned.The guards also reported that they found traces of matchlocks on the east and west walls, presumably the person who put the lamp lit the matchlocks to delay the time, and then fled.

Qiu Fu took the lamp and hurriedly presented it to King Yan.

Just as Zhu Di got up from the couch, he glanced at the things Qiu Fu brought up, narrowing his long and narrow eyes.

He raised his hand and clicked under the red paper.

"kill."

There were four large characters written on the red paper: Long Live the King of Yan.

Signed: Hu Baitian.

The place Zhu Di just pointed to is where the word "Hu Baitian" is located.

Qiu Fu had heard of Hu Baitian a little bit. It is said that he led a group of gangsters to run around and run amok. He took pleasure in robbing wealth and kidnapping women from good families. He had a few martial arts masters who appeared and disappeared, which caused headaches for many local officials.

Qiu Fu took the order to arrange it, and then said to Zhu Di: "This subordinate thinks this matter is strange, how could Hu Baitian be so stupid, dare to commit suicide like this, and provoke the prince?"

Zhu Di chuckled, and picked out the lamp oil in the Kongming lantern with his hand. There is a very small amount, and the lamp will go out after a short time because the oil is exhausted, so the Kongming lantern cannot rise very high.

Good trick to kill with a knife.

It's no wonder that Hu Baitian has a reputation for being arrogant and reckless, the word "long live" is too heavy, it doesn't matter whether he was wronged or not, he must die.

"Not many people buy Kongming lanterns at this time of year," Zhu Di said.

Qiu Fu immediately understood, "This subordinate will go and investigate."

Three days later, the rogues headed by Hu Baitian in Fengyang City were killed by King Yan, and more than ten thousand taels of money were seized, and 23 girls from good families were rescued.

Outside the Peace Temple, a man in plain satin and brocade robes, holding a portrait of a woman, came to ask if there were any Taoist nuns who looked similar to the portrait in the temple.

The little nun who opened the door was staring at the portrait and was about to speak.Chu Qiu rushed over suddenly and hurriedly pulled the little nun behind her.

"Don't be surprised, the benefactor, this child is afraid of strangers, and never talks to strangers. Let me take a look!" Chu Qiu glanced at the man, raised the portrait and looked at it carefully, with his heart in his throat.

How to draw such a picture!

Although the face of the woman in the portrait is covered, her eyes are painted so vividly that people can recognize her junior sister Xu Qingqing at a glance.

The author has something to say: Historically, the male protagonist has never had children before and after he ascended the throne. He has only four sons and five daughters in total.Among them, three sons and four daughters were born to Empress Xu. The remaining son died less than a month after birth, and the other was a princess.These can all be explained, yes, let me make it up.And the male protagonist in history has indeed been "crazy" for a while, which really fits the situation of this article.
