[Comprehensive martial arts] Hundreds of no taboos

Gao Tang stayed until dark before leaving.

My new relationship has a sense of going with the flow. After all, I just like someone. To me, it’s not enough to talk about marriage. Gao Tang is probably too excited today, and he doesn’t have any thoughts about me. Raise objections.

Overall, I'm very satisfied.

I have also thought about why every time I go to a world, I always have someone to accompany me. There are many conclusions, but in the final analysis, it is just loneliness. Friends cannot fill my loneliness. On countless quiet to cold nights, I opened my eyes Sometimes, without a warm chest, I would feel a kind of maddened fear.

Ordinary people fear the unknown, fear death, but what I fear is loneliness.

The reason why it is Gao Tang is probably because his pure and enthusiastic youthful atmosphere infected me. He is really too young. At first glance, farewell is not a word related to death.

Gao Tang didn't come the next day, but Lu Xiaofeng found me. He said that he was about to leave the capital, and he was found by another troublesome matter recently.

I still asked him, "Did you report to the police?"

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and said with a wry smile: "Miss Qi, there are always some things that the government can't solve, but I can do it, right?"

He briefly explained the situation. It turned out to be the troublesome Jin Jiuling who had just finished the Jinpeng Dynasty case and had not had time to return to Beijing to report on his work. He had mentioned it to Lu Xiaofeng before, but he did not expect that there would be such a time for handling the case. Another case of the same type occurred near Saibei.

A bandit called the Embroidered Bandit appeared on the rivers and lakes. It is said that he is a man with a big beard. Every time before he robs, he has to sit on the only way to embroider. eyes of the recipient.

I said strangely: "The beard covers your face, how do you know that the Embroidered Thief must be a man?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "This is also what I suspect, and his embroidery..."

Before he finished speaking, I patted him on the shoulder and interrupted, "Okay, it's easy for me to beat people and kill people, but it's really hard for me to talk about the case, you go and investigate the case, if it's of any use Just tell me when you come to my place, I will charge you half of the salary."

Lu Xiaofeng left with a wry smile.

I don't think it's difficult for him at all, he obviously likes these things very much.

Another duplicity man.

The matter of Shangguan Xue'er was resolved a month later. Due to Huamanlou's petition and the fact that the little girl did not commit any serious mistakes, she was sentenced to half a year in prison and then released. She has found a family who is willing to adopt her, and she is a wealthy businessman, who can recognize her parents as soon as she is released from prison.

In comparison, Shangguan Feiyan is much more pitiful. When she was in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she couldn't bear the interrogation and confessed to the fact that she killed Princess Danfeng, the true descendant of King Jinpeng. She still has some other lives in her hands. According to the laws of Daning, it is light to behead the capital, and then he was severely tortured when he went to the imperial prison. Jin Yiwei is very vigilant to the Jianghu people, and he has to break the pipa bone and useless martial arts when he enters, because Shangguan Feiyan had practiced acupuncture techniques that did not require internal strength, but she was also given additional hand muscle injuries. The doctor didn't say much about the other punishments, but I can guess some of them.

Gao Tang probably had a friend who was a royal guard, and when he heard me mention something by chance, he told me a lot of things excitedly. Only then did I know that the imperial prison is a prison that can only be released by the emperor's edict, and all the prisoners are criminals. The high-ranking officials and dignitaries who committed serious crimes, the former emperor and concubine Qi's family were imprisoned before the verdict was issued, and it was because of this that Hua Langzhong thought his friend was doomed.

People who enter the imperial prison are usually not released. If you are lucky, you can die quickly under Jin Yiwei's hands. If you are unlucky, you have to be imprisoned until death. After the general case is over, Jin Yiwei will not make any extra troubles People, but the imperial prison is a black prison. There is no sunlight all the year round, no sound, damp and closed. There is only one meal a day. Snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant. In summer, people will be hot to death, and in winter, people will freeze to death. In the true sense, they will die from heat and freeze. Most prisoners don't live for a few years.

The reason why Shangguan Feiyan is pitiful is because most of the prisoners in the imperial prison are committed to collaborating with the enemy and treason, the crime of deceiving the king, large-scale corruption and other crimes. Like her, the crime of killing a few people basically goes to the Ministry of punishment. It's already over the sky, and she is only lucky to spend the rest of her life in prison because of the blessing of Tsing Yi Lou.

Gao Tang's focus is not on the prison, but on Qi Guifei's family.

While peeking at my expression, he said: "When Concubine Qi was in the boudoir, she was caught in the cold to save the late emperor who fell into the water, which made her infertile. Therefore, the late emperor loved Concubine Qi and allowed her to run amok in the palace, killing many palaces. Concubine and prince, the emperor was born when the queen gave medicine to the first emperor. For 16 years, the middle palace became a cold palace... There was no father-son relationship between the emperor and the first emperor, and the Qi family had committed a serious crime, so the emperor was more ruthless. "

I wondered, "Why do you always speak to the emperor?"

Gao Tang said gruffly: "I'm afraid you might misunderstand..."

I was even more surprised, "What is the misunderstanding? The misunderstanding that the emperor is not wise enough? The Qi family's affairs are clearly done well enough. They punished the offenders and did not implicate the innocent. If there is something wrong, the emperor will ascend the throne." Two years, how did you start the Qi family at this time?"

Gao Tang quickly explained, "The Qi family has deep roots, and relying on the late emperor's trust, he has placed many important positions in the court. The emperor has found out the many crimes of the Qi family early in the morning, but to be on the safe side, he can only do it slowly. The officials of the Ministry of Officials were changed, and the people supported by the Qi family were removed from important positions one by one. Only then did they make up their minds to do it. Jin Yiwei took the lead, and caught them all before the Qi family could react, let alone involving innocent people on purpose. It’s just that I was afraid that some fish would slip through the net.”

Sounds more like a wise man.

But I just nodded, and continued to hold half of the watermelon, digging out the middle of the watermelon to eat.

I used to eat melons like muskmelon, which were not juicy and not sweet enough. Watermelon, also known as green door melon, has green skin and red flesh. It is sweet and delicious, with plenty of juice, just like a canopy bed. I ate it once. I like it, and I don't want to eat other melons anymore.

There were also watermelons in the Song Dynasty, but they had to be transported from the Liao Kingdom, and not many people knew how to grow them. I have seen them, but because they looked a bit strange to me, I didn’t eat them.

It’s almost summer now, so it’s reasonable to say that the watermelon season hasn’t arrived yet, but Gao Tang said that there are already ripe melons on his farm, and he will bring me one or two every time he comes, not too many, for fear of me Let it go bad.

When I eat watermelon, I only eat the middle piece because it is the sweetest and has no seeds, so I am too lazy to spit out the seeds.

At first, Gao Tang cautiously asked me if I didn’t like it, but after knowing my reason, he was helpless, so every time I finished eating the middle meat, he would take the melon and continue eating.

A very frugal kid.

This is also the reason why I guess that his status may not be as high as I said, and he may even be an illegitimate son of an outsider. He is well dressed and generous. It is very likely that he has been favored recently. It's because the emperor's cousin he always talked about started to give him a chance, young people have self-esteem, I was very considerate and didn't get to the bottom of it.

After the summer, the palace draft will be put on the agenda.

Although there is no news from the palace yet, according to the process agreed last year, the draft will definitely be held within a month at most.

The draft in Daning is different from the ones I know. The ancestors of this dynasty learned from the experience of their predecessors and feared that their relatives would usurp power, so they left a legacy. From the empress to the palace ladies in Daning, they must be selected from the homes of ordinary people.There is a round of screening by government offices in various places. Basically, only one or two places can be selected, and a few more places can be selected for places with many beauties, and then a hundred or so people will be selected for the palace. Entering the palace is pure luck.

Just like Gao Tang said, the emperor is eighteen, and there is no queen in the middle palace. This draft may not be able to produce a queen or concubine. For many girls of the right age, it is a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

When I walk on the street now, I can see girls wearing veils or veils going in and out of powder, clothing and jewelry shops everywhere. After all, most of the young ladies who have their own tailors and embroiders are not eligible to participate in the election.

It has to be said that the street is full of beauties, with beautiful clothes and shadows on the temples, it is quite a beautiful scene.

It would be even better if the material I was looking for didn't sell out.

I went out happily, and walked home in low spirits.

At the door of the house there was Gao Tang, who was leading a little white dog, and was looking at me eagerly.

I suddenly became happy again, but I was a little reserved, and glared at him, "I thought you wouldn't come today."

Gao Tang said hastily: "Yesterday, I had a business to do. During this season, epidemic prevention and control is being carried out everywhere. It's a mess..."

I now know that he has a legitimate official position in the court, and I can't explain what he does specifically. Anyway, when his cousin of the emperor is busy, I have to ask him to go and work with him. Time was short, at least once, he ran over to put down the watermelon and left without even taking a sip of water.

Young people in their [-]th and [-]th years were busy with heavy official duties when they were suffering from strokes, and their eyes were often black and blue from staying up late. The flesh on their entire cheeks was almost gone, and a sharp chin appeared thin.

I don't think it's okay to do it all the time, but he obviously likes it.

I also gradually expressed my understanding that young people always want to make a career.

But understanding belongs to understanding, and it is wrong not to have time to accompany me.

I punished him to eat melons while looking at the reds and greens, and I didn't give him any tea or even a sip.

Gao Tang was not at all unhappy about being punished, instead he looked at me contentedly with those beautiful star eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up, he was even more obedient than the little white dog at his feet.

I asked Cui Cui to pour him a cup of green tea with a tigerish face, and his smile got bigger, and he gulped down half a cup.

Too obedient, I can't bear it.
