Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Chapter 11 Arguments of the Kyoto Coup 7
"This... please forgive me, the little one is just following orders."

The guard in the black clothes frowned, and squeezed out a word in embarrassment. The superior ordered only to accept invitations, but no one was seen. Even King Su pushed him away. The princess who just returned to the capital...

A sigh came from across the bamboo curtain, Chu Shou lightly touched the curtain to signal, and Ah Shui rolled it up for him.

When the guard saw Chu Shou, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Chu Shou turned his head, put his hand lightly on the window sill, looked at the rear of the carriage, and said softly: "Brother, you still block it like this..."

"Commander Wei? Let's surround him then."

As soon as the words fell, a group of imperial guards turned out from the intersection, all wearing heavy armor and holding long guns, they stopped neatly at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in a cloud of dust. Eat melons in the corner.

The guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate outside the mansion were shocked at first when they saw the battle. They did not expect that in the capital city, someone would dare to lead troops to act in the royal city, but even though they thought so, they clenched their weapons calmly.

Just now when he spoke, the guard immediately whispered: Hurry up and report.

After a while, a high-pitched voice came along with the hurried footsteps.

"Princess, some lose far to welcome, some lose far to welcome!"

Chu Shou looked up, sneered, and then climbed the window of the carriage and joked from a distance: "Yo? Master Luo, why did you come to this capital procuratorate? You have a bad reputation for being bitter and tired."

Luo Ming smiled, walked forward quickly and saluted, stood aside with his hands down and said, "It's all for His Majesty, it's the same everywhere, but you, why did you suddenly return to Beijing? The people here I don’t know how to do things, I don’t know if you came here, did this stupid thing, and alarmed Commander Wei, you should be punished!”

"I heard that your lord returned to Beijing last night. I also want to meet your lord." Chu Shou smiled sincerely, with the tails of his eyes raised and thin eyelids, like a fox on the back mountain, with green fur.

Luo Ming was ashamed, those who knew this wanted to see an adult, those who didn't know thought they ransacked the house...

"See you! Of course I can see... My lord is not in good health. He ran around yesterday, but now he is in poor health. It's really..."

After hearing this, Chu Shou took out a mahogany box from behind with his backhand, held it out along the car window, and shook it in front of Luo Ming as if showing off. "Coincidentally, I happened to bring some supplements to visit your family."

After that, he shook it again, the box was full, full of sincerity.

Luo Ming was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, "My lord really..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Shou restrained her smile and came out with a black face. Before he could find a word to add, she got up and got off the carriage.

After getting off the bus, he stood still, with a look of being stretched to two to five to eighty thousand on his face. The passers-by who were watching the excitement were not sure if it was the princess from before, so they looked at it like this, hey!It really is!The princess is back!
"Then... let's open the way."

Chu Shou said something lightly, and several rows of forbidden soldiers rushed forward one after another, facing each other with their blades facing each other. Two of them resisted the guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and one stood directly in its original position.

Luo Ming looked at Commander Wei at the side, and cast him a look for help. Commander Wei gave him an upright look in return, as if he was doing the most righteous thing in the world.

There is no hope of asking for help, Luo Ming's heart is broken, isn't it just disobedience to the boss, at worst, he will go back to Dali Temple, it is better than being left here - "Open the way! Open the way! The princess please."

"My lord should be in the study at this moment, discussing matters with several censors, and there are still laughter, preparing for the next deployment..." Luo Ming laughed awkwardly, and added: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. , said too much."

"Aren't you sick, why did it become a matter of discussion again?"

Luo Ming didn't feel ashamed of being exposed at all, and continued to break the can and said: "There are too many invitations sent in today. For the adults' orders, I have to find an excuse to shirk..."

Chu Shou said "Oh~~", as if he had suddenly realized it, and remembered how he was shaking his head when he was studying at the Taixue with Qin Wuhui, and he couldn't help learning, walking with his hands behind his back, and said politely: "So that's how it is."

"Princess, be careful of the steps, turn right ahead..."

After Luo Ming finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, scratched his head and said, "Here, the princess should be more familiar with us."

Indeed, speaking of it, this is still a history of her blood and tears.

This was originally a mansion, which was built by a rich businessman many years ago. The rich businessman was so easy to learn, he found a land with good geomantic omen, and ordered people to dig a round lake in the middle.

A nine-story pagoda was erected randomly on the lake, but it only heard the explosion.

There is one basement floor, five floors above the ground, and the other three floors are fake cornices, but in fact they are not usable at all and are only of ornamental value.

The tower connects all directions and is divided into eight courtyards, which are named after Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui respectively.

The pagoda is straight from the center to the outside, and there is a huge stone in the front hall, which is used as a town tower. The word Chaos is engraved on the stone. This huge stone is uncarved, and it is as natural as it is. Under the sun, seven colored clusters will flash, like salt sand. As dense as the sky, the sun and the moon alternate, and the night is covered by moonlight, shining with silver light, like a large expanse of galaxies above the sky.

The Qinghui Stone that Chu Shou often wears around his waist was chiseled from this boulder...

The stairs in the tower are surrounded by circles, and the layers are scattered, which is overwhelming.

Standing next to the central boulder and looking up, you can still see the top of the tower at a glance. There are terrifying murals painted on the top of the tower, flying fairies, solemn statues... It's dazzling.

The railings on each floor are connected layer by layer with gold wire ropes. Small and exquisite copper bells and colorful flags are hung on the ropes. When the wind blows, the windows are opened, the flags fly, and the copper bells ring. An audio-visual feast, an absolute feast for the eyes.

It's a pity that during the war, the wealthy businessman ran away with his family. The mansion was robbed and burned, but it still has the same style in its heyday. The structure of the house and the layout of the courtyard are even more advanced than the current technology. It's really what it looks like.

It's just that the wind and rain have been there, and it looks dilapidated, and it has been abandoned for many years.

At that time, Chu Shou was the leader of a group of children. One night, he was really bored in the general's mansion in Nuo Da, so he dragged a few brave young masters and young ladies from under the 120th brick on the west wall of the mansion without the old man behind his back. I crawled into my dog's hole, which is called an adventure treasure hunt.

If it was really the middle of the night, the group of people would be scared to death at the slightest sign of trouble. Before leaving the yard, they threw the lantern in their hands and then crawled out along the dog hole. The next time they want to explore again in the daytime, they really complied with the sentence "the duck is dead, only the beak is still hard", and then found an excuse for each other: it is too troublesome to have to carry the lantern in the middle of the night.

Later on the second day, the group climbed in again. Although it was still gloomy and bleak, the progress bar rushed forward by more than half, and even climbed to the top tower. At that time, there were some damaged doors and windows. , Sitting on the terrace facing south, you can have a panoramic view of the entire city of Kyoto, not to mention how comfortable it is.

What's more terrible is that he picked up a lot of small, exquisite and priceless things, tied them around his waist, or some gold hairpins and jade rings worn by wives and concubines, and randomly inserted them on his head, and then picked up a handful of bronze mirrors to be so beautiful .

The group is happy, but the nearby residents will suffer.

They opened all the doors and windows layer by layer for the sake of coolness. It was the windy season at that time. When there was a wind at night, not only the bells rang, but also many sharp and weird sounds.

The people in the neighborhood thought the house was haunted and couldn't sleep at night, but the gate was closed and no one dared to approach it. Some of the people who got close couldn't stand it, so they packed up and moved out overnight.

Soon, this matter spread throughout the capital. Some people rumored that there was an unusually beautiful water demon suppressed in the pagoda. Its long hair was dragged on the ground with curly hair and a child's skeleton, covering its folded legs. Cracked, a pair of hanging eyes hanging to the brows, the pupils of the eyes are pitch black, without any impurities, if you want to look at her, your soul will be sucked dry.

The banshee often sings to the moon when the moon rises in the east, expressing her worries.

What's more, he even made up a poignant story about a heartless man and an infatuated girl for this water demon.

So every household restrained their children from wandering the streets at night, saying that they would throw themselves into the lake after hearing the song of the water demon to replace the child who died prematurely.

What's even more outrageous is that the water demon has managed to have a beautiful name...

Originally, Chu Shou and the others wanted to tell the truth, but the situation has gradually developed to the point where even if they tell the truth, it is irreversible!

Everyone was terrified.

The rumors intensified, and the whole city panicked. Finally, the officials were dispatched, and Wei Tiao, the Minister of Dali Temple at the time, was sent to find out about the water tower banshee.

Later, Wei Choi led people to remove the rusty big lock, and the house that had been abandoned for decades was able to see the light of day again. The group of people squatted abruptly all night, and soon found out that the strange sound was not from the water monster in the lake, but from the night. The wind was blowing away, and a big hole happened to be broken in the east wall of the fifth floor. The two wind clusters collided, making a strange sound, like whispering, like a banshee crying...

They also drained the entire round lake. It is said that more than half of the wealth of the rich businessman is at the bottom of the lake, and a lot of treasures have been fished out.

"I also heard that they are all charged to the treasury..."

"? Little people don't want to whisper!"

Anyway, it was announced to the outside world that apart from two big turtles and a few lotus leaves at the bottom of the lake, there was nothing else, no banshees, let alone treasures.

Say the important thing three times: there are no treasures!No treasures!No treasures!

I thought this matter would be settled here, but just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they soon discovered that the door and window had obviously been opened by someone, and there were many footprints on the dusty floor. There were still a few butt marks on the terrace, and for a while, rumors spread...

The expedition team became more and more afraid to speak, and promised each other that even if they were arrested and imprisoned, they would never reveal a word, even if they were tortured and tortured, they would never let go!
Wei Chou was very alert, seeing these marks and the dog hole at the base of the west wall, there were obvious signs of being trampled on the nearby bushes, ordinary adults would not be able to climb through it at all, so he knew it must be some children playing tricks.

He didn't want to pursue it any further, but he didn't know that the rumors were so confusing that the people turned to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Xu Chunru from the Ministry of Criminal Justice was more serious and wanted to be clear about everything, so he directly transferred the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, vowing to find out which family it was. What a wicked thing to do...

Xu Chunru was known as the iron-faced Hades back then, the number one expert in solving cases, not to mention the capital, but in the whole world, he was unrivaled.

Soon, relying on the ability and skill of turning decay into magic, he started with a small piece of dried buns in the grass next to the dog hole in the west wall, and immediately locked on the chef of Chu Shou's family.

After cross-examination, everyone insisted that only Chu Shou touched the steamed stuffed bun that day...

Sad, sad!Since this incident, she hasn't touched the buns made by her chef for several years...

After being discovered, Chu Shou actively cooperated and hoped to be dealt with leniency...

In fact, the Criminal Department of Dali Temple didn't think about how to deal with it after checking it out, and didn't get involved. Who knew that Chu Shou proposed to use the base map of the house in exchange for his freedom in order to protect himself.

The two old fools readily agreed, and handed over the map to the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry quickly sent people to start repairing and protecting the abandoned homestead, and received unanimous praise from residents in the surrounding communities. The truth of the water demon incident in the pagoda of Zhai finally came to light.

But the brilliance of this matter belongs only to Xu Wei and the two of them. Successfully cracking the haunting incident has added an indelible mark to the two of them's colorful lives. For Chu Shou, it has also become a stain on her life. .

Up to now, this matter is still firmly recorded in the sample book of criminal cases in the palace and Dali Temple, the records of strange events in Kyoto, the storytellers in Tianqiao Teahouse, and the records of many people's testimony...

Because of "understanding" that Chu Shou's other five accomplices are princes, young masters and young ladies who are not easy to explain their identities, they are all replaced by the principal criminal "accomplices" in the record book, and considering that Chu Shou is a noble girl, the following are Use "Chu Lao Liu" instead, and the official is very considerate to confuse her on the issue of whether she is a man or a woman...

She said optimistically: After this incident, she, Chu Shou, can be regarded as famous in history... She will be famous forever... At least in the long years, there are still traces of her Chu Laoliu's existence in this world...

Then again, Chu Shou and Luo Ming went up the pagoda with ease, and the pagoda is no longer what it used to be. Not only the guards stood around the circle, but also many public officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were busy and gained popularity. Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has repaired it in a simple and solemn way, with a beautiful and elegant interior.

Everyone was only busy with their own work and hurried past. Now two-thirds of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was recruited after they settled in Kyoto, half were transferred from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and the other half were young graduates. generation.

"It's really not what it used to be." Chu Shou couldn't help sighing, leaning on the railing to fiddle with the copper bell on the gold wire rope, the copper bell made a thin sound.

Just when he was listening to the old music and remembering the past, when he turned around, Chu Shou realized that the eyes of up, down, left, right, left, and right were all focused on him...

Luo Ming stretched out his hand to invite her to go upstairs, and quickly explained with a smile: "It's because my adults don't like to make noise, and everyone is used to it, please trouble the Princess to go up to the next floor."

After hearing this, Chu Shou frowned, raised his chin, and responded coldly one by one, staring back at them all in circles.

Luo Ming continued to laugh, bowed his body and asked: "Don't delay your business."

On the top floor, there is no one around, very clean.

The room in the middle should be a study room, and there is a man and a woman standing in front of the door, like two vicious door gods holding a pipa and dancing swords.

The two have similar eyebrows, eyes and stature. They are both dressed in smart clothes, with a heroic look, round neck and sleeves, and tiger badge and bird pattern.

The hair is high and hangs on the back of the neck. The man's hair is short and the woman's hair is long. They are tall and straight, standing like a pine and sitting like a bell. The end is carved with a hooked fire faucet, and the tip of the spear is a dragon tongue, shaped like a flame, full of evil spirits, like a fierce fire swallowing clouds.

"Master Luo, the pavilion master and the others are discussing important matters in the study..." As she said that, the woman moved her eyes to Chu Shou, looked him up and down, turned her eyes disdainfully and continued: "Idlers, please don't enter."

"Little sister Dong Rong, go and report..." Luo Ming approached and whispered in a low voice: "This is Princess Ruchuan, who has already led troops to surround us all in the procuratorate! Those who are not allowed to enter must be notified." No?"

He spoke vividly, Dong Rong frowned slowly, took a step back slightly to express that he didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and continued to act like a door god.

Luo Ming hurriedly turned around and explained: "My lord, these two brothers and sisters originally came from the 48th floor with Mr. Du Yushi. Most of the people in the world have weird tempers... Excuse me, I will communicate with you now..."

As he said that, Luo Ming pleaded with his younger brother who was called Xia Xiao...

Chu Shou turned his eyes slightly irresistibly, raised his brows, and said loudly: "Lord Luo, you all are really messed up at the procuratorate..."

Before Chu Shou finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps behind everyone, and the figure of the man stepped over Chu Shou in a flash, and Chu Shou also took advantage of the trend and pulled Ah Shui to turn sideways gently, as if looking up at the sky.

"My lords, Commander Wei has already arrived at the main hall with his troops, and the menacing attack, the brothers dare not act rashly."

Dong Rong frowned after hearing this, and exclaimed: "What?"

With a turn of the spear, the end rubbed against the ground, making a rustling sound, and following Luo Ming's death-defying gaze, the three of them looked at a certain princess in the corner in unison.

Chu Shou flicked the broken hair by his ears, folded his arms, turned around and muttered, "I should have brought the troops in directly, but I thought about meeting them for the first time, so I didn't need to make a big move. The way of the guest."

"I also gave you a chance. It seems that the time for a cup of tea has passed. My princess didn't even see a hair of your adults. It seems that they said that it is true that the procuratorate is now the only one. gone."

Her voice was slow but powerful, and no one dared to argue. There was no emotion on her face, and even her eyes revealed a feeling of indifference.

Ah Shui took a step forward, raised his chin and said, "Where's your lord? Are you seeing him or not?"

"Master Luo must have explained to the princess that my lord will not see any guests today, and whoever comes - will not be seen."

Dong Rong gripped the spear tightly, and turned it slightly, exposing the sharp point of the spear head, emitting a cold light.

"Dongrong, don't be rude."

The door of the study room creaked and was pushed open with the sound of the words. Behind him, the copper bell jingled with the wind, and a woman walked out from the inside.

The voice is like a light moon and clouds, the words are seven points polite, three points alienated, dressed in white clothes just like hibiscus from clear water, natural to carve, the beauty is as clear as the full moon, the eyes are full, surrounded by the galaxy, the plain teeth are tied with red lips, the beauty is like Si...

Chu Shou thought in his heart that these sour and fake diction could not describe the temperament of a beauty. If she were a young man, she would definitely take off the moon in the clouds and the stars in the sky for the beauty!
"Mu Huashu, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, pays a visit to Princess Liuchuan. My lord is in poor health. If the princess has any orders, just tell the next official."

When Chu Shou heard the title, he thought to himself again: A cold beauty should be a little coquettish to be able to endure the taste. As soon as Ms. Mu opened her mouth, she knew that she was as quiet as a flower shining in the water... I am afraid that she only wants to be seen as dignified, and is only suitable for the moonlight. Just look at the shadow and feel sorry for yourself.

"It's okay, I'm here today mainly because I want to borrow the handle of the splendid magnolia flower that is blooming in Mr. Du Yushi's study." Chu Shou raised his lips with a smile, tilted his head and looked past Mu Huashu to look at a fiery red flower on the balcony of the room Son.

The flowers are blooming brightly, surrounded by the breeze and scorching sun, making them even more tender and tender.

Before Mu Huashu could open his mouth, he came into Chu Shou's sight wearing a green dress. The flying veil covered the upper body of the man, and he wore a hollow copper ball around his waist, strung with some tassel beads. He walked past the desk, his slender He picked up the fiery red flowers on the edge of the terrace, and passed them to the Confucian scholar hiding in the dark on the other side.

The Confucian scholar was stunned for a moment, sighed softly, walked up waving a feather fan, bowed solemnly and said: "Villain Qin Wuhui pays homage to the Princess, Princess Wan'an."

Chu Shou cast a scrutinizing gaze. The little overlord of the literary field in the past hated Bai Ding the most. He claimed to be a literary star in the world. The short winter melon who aspired to be the world's number one counselor has now become a man of eight feet and a modest gentleman. ...What a big change, so big that it is worth a brief description in a hundred words...

"If it weren't for the mole on the bridge of the nose and the two canine teeth, I wouldn't have recognized you."

While talking, Chu Shou was still looking at Tsing Yi in the room while she was talking through her glasses. The wind rolled up her robe, and the man seemed to be facing them with her hands behind her back. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. It has come to this point.

Qin Wuhui lowered his eyes and smiled secretly, and continued to "advance and retreat with certainty" and said: "It's hard for the princess to remember... some subtleties."

Chu Shou frowned, feeling sore in his heart, but thought to himself: What did this short winter melon say?

Then he reached out and snatched the pot of red flowers, the movement was a little big, which made people look a little hasty, and he muttered: "I don't have time to catch up with you now."

Then with lowered eyes, he took the mahogany box from Ah Shui's hand and stuffed it into Qin Wuhui's hand, "Return gift to your lord, make it up."

Chu Shou blinked at Qin Wuhui, and the corners of his mouth smiled roundly again.

Turning his head to leave, Qin Wuhui took the opportunity to hold the mahogany box and asked, "When will you have time to talk about the past?"

This scene is like a shy young man who is in love at the beginning...

Chu Shou frowned again, turned around and thought about it seriously, then concealed his doubts and pretended to be bright: "Tonight! Gan Linzhou, if you want to come, come here."

Qin Wuhui raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded slightly, and watched Chu Shou leave, before returning to someone's study with the box.

When Chu Shou left, there was a long line of forbidden soldiers behind him. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he met Shen Yike, the censor who came back from his work. Shen Yike first smiled and said in surprise: "Eh? Your Excellency is willing to see someone?"

Chu Shou walked away, holding the bright red flowers in his arms, without turning his head, waved his hands, and said loudly: "No!"

Shen Yike was not puzzled for a few seconds, and soon witnessed his lord's "willing to see people" knack, the imperial guards who walked out row by row seemed as if the Metropolitan Procuratorate was their base camp...
