Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Pang Qingyun joined the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Like Xue Wanjun, he also cared about the progress of the case. The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not tell him the specific process. He only said that he had grasped a very real situation, that is, contacted Pang Hui before he died of poison. Anyone who has been in contact with Pang Hui may have poisoned him, but the Criminal Ministry has already tortured the people who had contact with Pang Hui during that time, and did not find the murderer among these people.

Then only the book building, the servant left for a quarter of an hour. During this period, Pang Hui must have come into contact with someone. Now the officials and guards of the criminal department are all asking the steward and Xiaoer in the study building, so that they can try to recall, the afternoon before yesterday, Who are the people in the library? They need to find them all and torture them one by one.

Pang Qingyun thanked the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment before leaving, but within a few steps, he ran into Li Shimin who came in from the outside.

"Your Highness." Pang Qingyun cupped his fists and saluted Li Shimin. When Li Shimin saw him, he glanced at the stone table and bench not far away, and said, "Let's talk."

The two walked a few steps and sat down on opposite stone benches.

Li Shimin sighed: "I'm sorry, although the case has not been solved yet, there are eight to nine out of ten people behind the scene who came after me and my elder brother, I hope you will make peace with your condolences."

Pang Qingyun was tall, he was much taller than Li Shimin, even with his head down, Li Shimin could still see his expression.

The pain of losing a child is a heart-pounding pain. Mrs. Pang has almost shed tears these days. He is a man, even if his heart is too painful, he can only smash his teeth and swallow his blood.

"Your Highness, I understand."

Because of this case, everyone is in a bad mood. Such an invisible poison that kills people has to be frightening, and the people behind the scenes must be found out!

Yang Ruoxi followed the progress of the case, but there was no announcement from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so she knew that the case had not been solved, and the Murong brothers and sisters had not been arrested.

The next day, Yang Ruoxi inspected the porcelain shop first. Her porcelain shop is not large in size, not as large as the huge two to three hundred square meter shop belonging to the prince on the street, but the porcelain in her shop is now The main focus is novelty and novelty, and the sales volume is good every month. With less income, the income increases steadily every month.

"Boss, the porcelain kiln delivered the goods yesterday, and I asked the old man to tell you that they can solve the green coloring." The shopkeeper is over fifty, and there are a lot of wrinkles. , but it’s not ugly, but a little funny. Some children in the neighborhood also like to play with him, like to touch his beard and his wrinkles.

Yang Ruoxi was admiring a very elegant porcelain bowl, the whole body was light blue, just like the color of the sky, pure and elegant, she gently put down the porcelain bowl, and said with joy: "That's really great."

She drew a landscape picture before and colored it with color, but porcelain can't express it completely. The landscape picture involves more than a dozen colors, only five of which are the colors that can be expressed by the current porcelain kiln technology, and the other few colors are completely different. There is no way to reach this level, but she is not in a hurry, let the porcelain kiln study slowly.

The plain and elegant light blue porcelain bowl she saw was the blue color needed in the landscape painting. The craftsmen experimented one by one. This blue color was the first to be solved. The remaining green, red, etc. Solving technical problems cannot be done overnight.

Then the shopkeeper happily reported that in the past half month, since this blue porcelain was launched, the sales volume has been very good, almost catching up with the best-selling porcelain in the big shop on the street.

Yang Ruoxi couldn't help but feel happy, the technology of porcelain kilns is actually not enough now, because many colors can't be expressed on porcelain, so her landscape porcelain will have to wait until it comes out to the world.

After leaving Zhiyazhai, Yang Ruoxi planned to go to the porcelain kiln to have a look. Tan Qing and Sun Fang didn't know much about porcelain, unlike Liu He and Lu Qian who knew much about it. If Liu He and Lu Qian were by her side , that would only be more exciting than her.

The carriage wobbled out of Chang'an City. She lifted the curtain and looked at the uneven ground. She thought to herself that there was a news from the Ministry of Industry the day before yesterday, saying that the workshop of the Ministry of Industry had developed a new product. , the cost is not high, and the road can be repaired to make the road smooth and smooth, and it will not be so easily crushed.

I don't know if this news is true or not. It seems that a businessman went to the Ministry of Industry to inquire, but there was no follow-up.

An hour later, the carriage came to Biezhuang, because she often came to the porcelain kiln, the whole Biezhuang and the surrounding villagers knew her, but they only knew that she was the young lady of a rich family, and did not know her specific identity.

The manager of the porcelain kiln is surnamed Wang, so the shopkeeper of Zhiyazhai calls him Old Wang. The two of them are old acquaintances, and the shopkeeper also came out of the porcelain kiln. It’s just that he has been sitting in the porcelain kiln for a long time and his eyes have been injured. He is not suitable for working in the porcelain kiln. Only then did he and some other young and middle-aged men who were not suitable for working in porcelain kilns go to the city to work in shops.

Wang Guanshi and a group of craftsmen presented her with an emerald green vase like presenting treasures, and there was another vase on the cabinet next to it. The two vases were exactly the same color. Of course, there were some subtle differences, but they could be ignored. .

After Yang Ruoxi took it lightly, she said, "That's right, it's this color."

It is beautiful, this green color is like the buds emerging from the branches in early spring, it is full of vitality, and it makes people feel a sense of joy in their hearts.

Manager Wang and all the craftsmen had proud smiles on their faces. Maybe a year ago they were the most inconspicuous craftsmen with the worst skills in the entire Tang Dynasty, but now they can proudly tell the world that their technology is definitely ahead of most porcelain kilns , When they fired the Warm Spring vase that the owner wanted, they would leave their names in history.

"Don't worry, if there are any difficulties, everyone will overcome them one by one. You are already very powerful now."

Yang Ruoxi still encouraged the craftsmen, and then, accompanied by Wang Guanshi's granddaughter, walked around the village.

It is now the end of July, and the crops in the fields have been harvested. Seeing the empty paddy fields, Yang Ruoxi remembered the issue of paying taxes in other villages.

Wang Cui'er only knew that Biezhuang and the surrounding villages had paid taxes, but she didn't know how much they had paid, as if the Biezhuang manager said it was the same as last year.

"After paying the food tax, how much surplus do you have, can you eat enough?"

Wang Cui'er tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded: "I didn't hear Uncle say that there is a lot of food tax, and that this year is a good harvest year. After paying the food tax, we can have a good year."

After walking for a while, I met an old man from the nearby village, who was grazing cattle on the ridge of the field.

Yang Ruoxi chatted with her, and learned about the various taxes collected by the court from the old man. The old man said that this year is a bumper harvest year, and after paying all kinds of taxes, the family can still have some surplus, which is enough to live until next year's bumper harvest.

"At the end of the former dynasty, the emperor raised a lot of taxes. Our place is close to Chang'an, and the weather is good. After paying the taxes, even if the surplus is not enough, everyone will work part-time, but they can get by. With the tax abolished, everyone's life will be much easier, and this year is another bumper harvest year, and the days will be better."

Yang Ruoxi remained silent for a while, and then said with a smile: "Yes, now that the world is peaceful, life will get better and better."

"Uncle Zhang, are you out to herd cattle again? Didn't someone tell you to rest at home, Dazhu?" A strange male voice came from behind, not standard Mandarin, with some local characteristics.

The old man immediately blew his beard and stared, looked behind Yang Ruoxi and the others, and said, "I don't do anything else, just herding cattle, and I won't be tired."

Yang Ruoxi turned her head and saw a young man in a long gown. The middle-aged man next to him was wearing a Hu suit, but the shape of his face did not mean to tell Yang Ruoxi that he was not a Han, or not a pure Han. The blood of the nation.

Hufu is also popular in Chang'an City nowadays, but they are all improved by adding Hanfu. There are no pure Hufu, just like Hufu worn by Huren, but the Hufu worn by this person is a regular Hufu. Of course, Changan There are many people coming and going in the city, mostly businessmen wearing such formal Hu clothes.

A look of astonishment flashed across the young man's face, but it was only fleeting. Without keen observation, he would not be able to detect it. He and the middle-aged man walked forward and bowed to Yang Ruoxi: "My lady is polite."

Yang Ruoxi saluted slightly, "My lord is polite."

Then the young man laughed and said to the old man: "Uncle Zhang, do I look good in this suit?"

"Looks good, looks like a son of a noble family." The old man has limited adjectives, he just thinks he looks good in clothes. All the nobles he has seen look good in such long gowns, and he looks as good-looking as those nobles.

After exchanging pleasantries with the young man, Yang Ruoxi was still wandering around. It was already early autumn, and the grass and trees began to wither and turn yellow. There was almost a large area of ​​withered yellow in the mountains and forests. Looking from a distance, it had a different taste.

When I came to the foot of a hill, I suddenly heard a child singing. The lyrics were not in Chinese, and the tune was not the usual folk songs, but the tune was indeed relaxed and lively.

Tan Qing and Sun Fang didn't understand, but Yang Ruoxi did. Her downcast eyes changed slightly. This is a nursery rhyme from the Turkic side, and this village is an ordinary village on the outskirts of Chang'an City. How can the children here? Can sing Turkic nursery rhymes?

She looked up again, leaving only an expression of appreciation.

"The tune is very nice, it sounds like seeing the blue sky and white clouds, a very lofty artistic conception."

When she said this, Tan Qing and the two of them would be thinking of the master, and Wang Cui'er was also quite clever, and immediately said: "This is the grandson of Grandpa Zhang just now, Shitou."

While talking, a child with a basket on his back rushed down happily. His basket was full of wild vegetables, so he was so happy because of the bumper harvest.

Seeing a few people in front of him, Stone stopped singing immediately, and stood there, scratching his head with a timid look.

"Sister Tweety."

Wang Cui'er chuckled, hooked her fingers, and said, "Come here, my sister is asking you something!"

Stone moved slowly, stopped five steps away from Wang Cuier, looked at Wang Cuier with round eyes, and said, "What does Sister Cuier want to ask?"

Wang Cui'er looked at Yang Ruoxi, Yang Ruoxi smiled and said, "I'm curious, the tune of the song you sang just now was very nice, but I didn't understand the lyrics, I don't know where the children's song is from?"

Being looked at by the beautiful sister, the already half-adult stone blushed, faltered, and said for a long time: "Uncle Shi taught me. Uncle Shi said it was a nursery rhyme from his hometown."

Yang Ruoxi smiled slightly: "That's it, thank you Shitou for clarifying my doubts. I just think this song is nice, and there is no malice."

Shito lowered his head shyly, thinking that the elder sister in front of him was really pretty, prettier than elder sister Cui Er, prettier than elder sister He Hua.

In the end, Shitou ran away like flying, Yang Ruoxi continued to wander around for half a circle, returned to the Biezhuang, called the head of Biezhuang, Manager Zhao, and asked him about the guest surnamed Shi in Old Man Zhang's house.

Zhao Guanshi didn't know much about this. He only knew that Zhang Qiang, the son of the old man Zhang, brought them back, and said that he would use Zhang's family for a while. Yi Nan, I heard that this young man has a high status in his hometown, his father is a local leader, and he and his guards are traveling.

Surname Shi?I'm afraid it's fake, isn't the surname Ashina?

After lunch, Yang Ruoxi returned to the city with an emerald green vase, and kept the other one for the craftsmen to use as a reference. Although they fired this pair of vases, it doesn't mean that the same vase will be fired smoothly in the future. The green vase still needs to be adjusted continuously until 100% of the green vase can be fired.

The carriage passed through a forest, the branches and leaves were now withered and yellow, the forest was full of fallen leaves, and the wheels rolled by, making a pleasant rustling sound.

Suddenly, the coachman raised his voice: "Woo--"

The galloping black horse stopped, and the carriage came to a stop, and the coachman whispered: "Master, there is a situation."

The coachman and the guards around him jumped out of the carriage, with their right hands on the sword at their waists, one in front of the carriage and one behind the carriage, looking around vigilantly.

The coachman is actually not a coachman, but a palace guard. At the beginning, Li Yuan assigned 12 people to her. Later, after leaving the palace, these 12 people followed her out of the palace. Although their establishment is still in the palace guards, their future is basically set. , she will be her personal guard from now on.

A carriage has limited capacity, so there are only two people with her every time. During this time, nothing happened, and she went to and from the porcelain kiln many times, and nothing happened, but she didn't want to have trouble today.

After the words were finished, a group of black-clothed masked men ran out from the depths of the woods. There were seven or eight of them, each with a broad-leaved sword in their hands, and charged towards them with a murderous look.

The two guards immediately wrestled with them. To be precise, the men in black wrestled with them. The guards gradually moved away from the carriage, and the carriage was exposed to the eyes of the other men in black.

Tan Qing and Sun Fang's expressions had changed, their lips were trembling, they pushed Yang Ruoxi into a corner, but Yang Ruoxi pushed them away and made a silent gesture.

She pulled out a sharp long sword from the wooden wall. The long sword was given to her by the crown prince and asked her to put it in the carriage. It could be used in case of emergency.

In fact, Yang Ruoxi felt that she was amazing. She was a princess in the palace and had never learned any martial arts. But during the first two months of fleeing, she found that she seemed to know some tricks, and she was able to meet Strong is strong, scaring away many little ruffians.

Throwing away the scabbard, she listened to the movement outside, someone jumped into the carriage, but the carriage started to move the next moment, it seemed that the man in black was trying to hijack her.

Holding a long sword in her hand, with a blank expression on her face, she stabbed precisely at the people outside through the curtain of the car. The next moment she lifted the curtain, turned her back to the man in black who was holding her chest, and pulled back. Long sword, stabbed him again, and then pushed him off the carriage with the sword again.

The men in black who were following behind couldn't help being startled when they saw this, but except for the four men in black who were pestering the guards, one of them died, and the other two rushed forward, and they were caught off guard just now. It doesn't make sense that the two of them can't beat a delicate little lady.

Yang Ruoxi was not very clear about her own strength. A man in black stabbed her with a knife. She used the sword to slash, and the next moment there was a bang, and a piece of the knife fell to the ground.

But she didn't allow her to continue to be surprised, another stab came from the left side, and she quickly turned her hand to block the sword, and then there was another bang, and a piece of the knife fell to the ground.

She looked at the slender long sword in her hand. It had a beautiful figure and was very suitable for women's aesthetics. She liked it, but she really didn't know that it was so powerful. It cut off other people's big swords with just one strike.

The two men in black were a little dumbfounded. They were holding broken knives. The broken knife in the hand of the man behind was almost to the hilt. Who knew that the sword had cut to a quarter of the big knife just now, so the big knife in his hand was not Only the handle is left?

Yang Ruoxi was a little proud, she knew she was so powerful, why was she so scared when she was on the way to escape?

The four men in black who had been entangled with the guards saw the carriage stopped, and there seemed to be fighting sounds, they immediately left the guards and ran over one after another, and the guards were dragged down by the wounds, so they caught up a few steps behind.

After they ran forward, they saw the master alone surrounded by six men in black, two of whom were holding a broken knife. They seemed to be afraid of the long sword in the master's hand, so they just besieged and did not attack.

The people in black flirted with each other, and the master asked them to take away the future princess of the Tang Dynasty, but they didn't expect that the future princess was a stubble, and they couldn't take it away!

And already broke a brother, do you want to continue?

Yang Ruoxi held a long sword and faced six people. She didn't know if they were opponents, but the sword in her hand was so powerful that she was very courageous.

The guards joined the battle. Seeing this, the people in black gave their own eyes one after another. They should retreat, otherwise they would expose their master, and that would be a serious crime!

The men in black had a tacit understanding and almost retreated together. They did not forget to take away the corpse of their companion, and disappeared into the woods in an instant.

The guard wanted to chase, but Yang Ruoxi stopped him and said, "Don't chase, I know who it is."

Then they got into the carriage, and the two guards drove and applied medicine. The carriage drove out of the woods, came to an open field, stopped, and then the guards fired a signal flare.
