The Road of the Queen

Master Yin and his party finally stepped out of the vermilion gate of the Yin Mansion, and the brigade of people rushed out of the city gate in a bustling manner.

Seeing that his father and mother's carriage was gone, Yin Wulang rushed over and grabbed Liu Lang by the collar and slapped Liu Lang four or five times, beating and cursing: "Do you know why Dad was demoted? ?all because of you!"

Yin Yuting was used to being bullied by his elder brother since he was a child, and his elder brother never knew how to dodge or fight back when he beat him. The corner of his mouth was bleeding and he stared at his elder brother's distorted face in confusion and gloom, without saying a word.

Only Yin Suning continued to scold: "Did you offend the second son of Master Liu of the Ministry of Officials? Do you know that the second son Liu is the confidant of His Royal Highness King Ning! If you offend him, it is tantamount to offending King Ning! Now, even My career has been ruined by you!"

Yin Yuting finally couldn't listen anymore, and replied weakly: "Brother...then Second Young Master Liu insisted on asking me to play the piano for him last time in the teahouse, but I refused to play, so he forced me to play."

"And then?" Yin Su Ning snorted coldly.

Yin Yuting gritted his teeth: "Then I deliberately broke the strings and hurt his face." Then he said in a low voice: "It's all because he deliberately provoked me first."

"Thank you for being able to speak!" Yin Suning scolded viciously: "You are just my father's illegitimate child, and what is a bastard! Now it's all over, your father was demoted by you, and the whole family ran away because of you." Go to Fangzhou, a bird that doesn't lay eggs?! I don't want to see you again!" After scolding fiercely, Yin Suning went up and kicked Yin Yuting's heart without realizing it: "Trash!" Turning around and running out of the gate.

At this time, there was a loud "bang", the sky was like a crack, and heavy rain came in response.I saw the sky flashing with lightning, the thunder continued, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

………………

In the early morning of the next day, a shocking news spread throughout Chang'an——Yin Botai, the prefect of Fangzhou, and his family were attacked by bandits on the way to his post. The whole family was killed and no one survived!

Yin Yuting received the news that if he was struck by lightning, he would faint and fall to the ground if he hadn't been supported by his servants, so he hurried to find his elder brother Yin Suning, only to find that Yin Suning hadn't returned all night.Yin Yuting ran all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City in one day, the mansion where his elder brother worked, his close friends, the restaurants where his elder brother frequented, as long as he knew where his elder brother might go, he searched for it. Still finding nothing, she had no choice but to report to the government. Yi Yi of Shuntian Prefecture did not dare to delay filing the case immediately when she saw that it was a missing court official.Only then did Yin Yuting drag his exhausted body back home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiaoqing, the maid who stayed behind, brought the hot rice and hot soup, the people from the yamen came to the gate.Yin Yuting followed them to the Yamen to identify the corpse without drinking a sip of water.The change was so great that Yin Yuting's spirit, which had been in a state of dislocation all along, suddenly sobered up when he saw his father's bloody corpse. .Before he had time to look at the bodies of other family members, he cried out, "Father—" and finally passed out.

Since then, Yin Yuting has suffered from a serious illness, and has taken a long vacation with the supply department, and the rest lasts for several months.During this period, he did not forget to ask how the investigation of his elder brother Yin Suning's disappearance was going, but Shuntian Mansion's reply was that it was still under investigation. Yin Yuting was so angry that he vomited blood and lay down at home for another half a year.

The affairs of the Yin family were also very troublesome in Chang'an City. A majestic court official ordered bandits to kill and steal goods, which can be regarded as a blow to the law and order of the Li family dynasty.From then on, Chang'an City strictly checked the curfew and strengthened the guards. Every family had to report to the local village head whether it was a wedding or funeral, and any visitors.

The world is boundless and unpredictable, who would have thought that Yin Yuting's family would be ruined overnight, except for a few servant girls, he would be alone.The plums are red outside the window, and the warm sunlight penetrates through the small window and falls on the ground deeply and shallowly, forming petal-like plaques.The green-haired and blue-tailed red-billed sparrow stood on the branch and chirped non-stop. Its chirping was so sweet, it was like the beautiful music played by a girl playing the piano with her bare hands.

Yin Yuting gave a pale laugh with his head covered, he hadn't got out of bed for three days.At this time, his face was extremely pale, and those eyes that were shining with precious light also lost all their luster, staring at the sun on the ground like a dead fish.He thought about the last sentence "trash" that his brother left him, and murmured to himself: "I am a trash. If I played the piano obediently according to Mr. Liu, I would be fine that day, and I won't be..." When he said this suddenly Dazed for a moment, remembering that the four words "life, death and death" have all been fulfilled, a person popped up in his mind, so he hurriedly got off the ground to put on his shoes, called out the maid Xiaoqing to put on a shirt and left the house.

Yin Yuting ran to the street and searched carefully from store to store. He remembered that the strange fortune teller's booth was not far from Lu Yu Tea House.But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the fortune-teller anymore.Just as he was hanging his head down, there were soft footsteps behind him. Yin Yuting turned his head suddenly, but saw that it was his maid Xiaoqing walking towards him.Xiaoqing approached, and made a blessing to Yin Yuting: "Sixth Young Master, you have been out for a day, go back."

This little green maid was originally the big maid who served Yin Liulang exclusively, and she was also the maid who grew up with him since childhood.He is three years older than Yin Liulang, and the two feel like siblings.Xiaoqing is now a 20-year-old girl. Although her facial features are ordinary, her frowns and smiles reveal the beauty of an adult woman.Now the remaining maids in the Yin Mansion include Xiaoqing and Yin Suning's maid Xiaohong, but Yin Wulang's whereabouts are unknown, so Xiaohong and Xiaoqing serve Yin Liulang together.

Yin Yuting saw that Xiaoqing came here deliberately to find him to go home, and also saw that there were fewer and fewer people in Tianyue at dusk, so he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, let's go back." Having said that, he still looked around unwillingly.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing quickly asked, "Sixth Young Master, what are you looking for?"

Yin Yuting shook his head: "I didn't find anything."

Xiaoqing suddenly smirked, pointed to a place and asked, "But are you looking for him?"

Yin Yuting looked along her fingers, and saw that old fortune teller who was so easy to find was sitting behind his small booth, smiling sinisterly. "Xiaoqing..." Yin Yuting turned his head to look for his maid, who else is there? !Xiaoqing, who was still standing beside her just now, disappeared without a sound!

At this time, the old fortune-teller was waving his hands desperately, and shouted to Yin Yuting: "Yin Liulang, Yin Liulang, was my fortune-telling for you last year accurate?" Hearing his voice, he was full of energy and looked very happy look.

When Yin Yuting saw it was him, he strode over, knelt down in front of the fortune-teller and clasped his fists, saying: "The old man is alive and well, please help me!"

The old fortune-teller picked up the folding fan from the table, opened it with a whoosh, and asked casually while fanning the wind: "Yin Liulang, is the fortune-telling I gave you last year accurate?"

Yin Yuting raised his eyes to look at him, nodded his head like a garlic: "Yes! That's right!"

The old fortune teller showed a smile in his shining eyes, and said lightly: "Okay. Since you admit that I am accurate, I will help you. Oh, yes, how do you ask me to help you?" Yin Yu Ting heard that he was willing to help and was moved to tears. He was about to open his mouth when he heard "Ouch", when the proud old man grinned and hugged his belly, and said intermittently: "Yin. .Yin Liulang...I'm hungry! My stomach hurts from hunger..."

Yin Yuting has never been hungry since he was a child, and even since he was born in the womb, he has never heard of anyone who is so hungry that his stomach hurts.But at this moment, seeing that the old man was in pain and about to roll all over the floor, he hurriedly helped him up and said: "Then please come to the humble house for dinner first."

The old fortune teller raised his head and gave him a white look: "Why don't you invite me to Zuixianlou to eat Chang'an's famous eight golden dishes?!"

Yin Liulang looked embarrassed, turned his face away and said: "To be honest, I'm in the middle of my family. I've been sitting and eating for the past six months, and I really don't have the money to invite an expert to eat such expensive dishes."

After hearing this, the old man sighed: "Okay, then I have to go to your house to eat. Ask your cook to cook the best dishes."

When the two returned to the Yin Mansion, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong brought me simple tea and light meals.Seeing the vegetable and cucumber leaf porridge on the plate, the fortune-teller fell to the ground with a smirk, then pinched his beard and laughed and said, "You can eat this too?" It was not a taste, and he said apologetically: "I am really sorry, my master, this is the only thing I will treat you with."

The old fortune-teller: "These foods are so unpalatable, I won't eat them."

Yin Yuting: "Didn't your stomach hurt from being hungry just now?"

The old fortune-teller stretched his waist: "I'm sleepy, sleep first, and I'll help you tomorrow." Throwing his chopsticks, he stood up swaggeringly, turned to Xiaoqing, touched his face and said with a smirk: "Girl, the guest room Where are you?" Xiaoqing hurriedly pushed him away and ran away.The fortune teller went to catch Xiaohong again, and pinched her waist: "Take me there, and warm a bed for me by the way~" Xiaohong struggled with shame.Yin Yuting stood behind watching and sighed, pulled Xiaohong away and said, "I'll take you there."
