Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 200 Being Hounded by a Villain

Because of his meritorious service in rescuing him, Xie Zi'an not only took the title of Marquis of Jing'an, but now he is also the deputy commander of the imperial guards and a celebrity in front of the emperor.

To manage these shops, Zhang Qi first had to deal with the government well, so he also knew something about the officialdom.

"Xie Zi'an also set up a grave for you at the Xie family's ancestral grave. He often went to pay homage to you. He even cried on the street. Seeing this, the people thought he was so affectionate and praised him. He also let out the word that he will only marry you in this life , Mrs. Jing'an Hou is only you." Zhang Qi felt gritty when she said that.

"When I was with Yan'er in the middle of Beijing, I kept hiding in the backyard of Prince Suping's mansion. Even though I was isolated from the world, I heard some of it. The most disgusting thing is that someone wrote a play called "Clouds on the Temple" based on it. It was very popular for a while, and every theater was singing. It described Xie Zi'an as a loyal and good man, and described the relationship between the two of you as a touching love tragedy. Little girls especially like to listen to it. The women gathered together to talk about Zhang's parents and Li's family, and they only talked about you two at that time, and there were people singing the libretto in the streets and alleys." Jin Yan said angrily.

Liu Yunxiang sighed, wanted to say something but had nothing to say, then sighed again.

"I'll beat him up!" Zijin rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go out.

Liu Yunxiang pulled her back, "Forget it, getting angry with such a shameless person is really not worth it."

Fortunately, I knocked a few times over there, but I stopped knocking.

Just when everyone thought he was gone, he shouted outside: "Xiangxiang, I'm so happy that you're still alive."

Just this one sentence, and then it's gone.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, thinking about these words carefully, but it made people feel hairy.There is a good saying, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain, let alone someone like Xie Zian who is extremely despicable.

In the next few days, Liu Yunxiang stayed at home and did not go out. He ate and slept every day, ate and slept, and played with his two children.I have been too tired for the past two years. As soon as I go home, I become lazy and always want to find a place to lie down.

At noon this day, the beggar came licking his face.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at him, "Did the beggar go to the wrong door?"

The beggar laughed, "It's not wrong."

He knocked on the bowl in his hand, it was the one she had paid him for Yan Mu back then, "If you give me the bowl, you will have to take care of me for the rest of your life."

"But even if I keep a dog, it at least knows who the owner is, unlike some people who turn their elbows outward."

She wanted to go far away, but the beggar dug out her lair and brought Yan'er and the others from Anzhou, so she had to follow Yan Mu back to Beijing.

"You wanted to leave that night when the geese returned to the city, but I didn't stop you," said the beggar.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "I put a drug in your wine."

The beggar clicked his tongue, "That little drug can stun a big bear, but it won't stun me."

Liu Yunxiang turned his head and was too lazy to talk to the beggar.

The beggar sat down opposite Liu Yunxiang, laughed for a while, and said, "Master Fang committed suicide, and the officials pointed the finger at Yan Mu, saying that he forced it, and the emperor was also angry. He reprimanded him in court and suspended him for three months. Those self-righteous literati and students even made a joint statement, listing Yan Mu's hundreds of crimes, demanding that the emperor punish him severely, and they have been blocked in Yan's mansion for the past two days, and there is a lot of trouble."

"Why are they indiscriminate?"

"This case was found at the iron mine. Originally, if you followed the vine, you could find the place where the iron was made and the place where the private weapon was manufactured, but Fang Ziru died and the iron mine was buried. Nothing can be found. So In the eyes of the world, the collapse of the Tzu Chi Temple was caused by continuous rain, and Fang Ziru, who was dedicated to doing good and highly respected, was forced to death by Yan Mu."

Liu Yunxiang laid his head on the stone table, and after contemplating for a long time, he turned his head and asked the beggar: "The emperor is very jealous of others mentioning that he raped Mrs. Yan back then, why did he recognize Yan Mu and make him the seventh prince?"

The beggar stroked his beard, "I have to mention one person here."

"Who?"

"Princess Mingshuo of Beijin."

Although the eldest princess Mingshuo of Beijin is the eldest princess, she is actually the adoptive daughter of the Empress Dowager Beijin. She came to negotiate peace on behalf of Beijin, but because she is so beautiful, the emperor fell in love with her and left her behind. into the palace.

The eldest princess of Beijin is said to be very kind-hearted, and somehow she found out that Yan Mu was the emperor's illegitimate son, so the emperor recognized him and made him a prince.

"She's free?" Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but scoffed.

It's okay to mix things up, Yan Mu's being crowned prince means being forcibly dragged into the battle for the heir apparent, which is not a good thing for him.

The beggar shook his head and sighed, "It's really free. It is said that I plant flowers in the palace every day."

When having lunch, the beggar is not invited to sit by himself. He has a pig's trotter in his left hand and a green onion in his right hand.

Zijin stared at the beggar, wishing to punch her up, that pig's trotter was stewed for her by Aunt Zhang!

"It's better to go home. Meals outside can only fill your stomach, and meals at home can bring happiness." The beggar said, looking around at the people at the dinner table, "It's nice to have family with you."

After speaking, he himself was very moved, but his family ignored him.

When everyone was full, the beggar asked Aunt Zhang for a food box, and swept in the leftover food.

"Hey dog?" Liu Yunxiang raised an eyebrow and asked.

The beggar laughed, "Bring it to Yan Mu, isn't he grounded? In order to let him cultivate his mind, the emperor punished him to copy the "Diamond Sutra" once a day and eat a vegetarian diet."

"Is he not picky eater?"

"It's good to be a little meaty these days, but if you're picky eaters, you might as well just starve to death."

Liu Yunxiang thought to himself that the rest should be fed to the dogs anyway, who wouldn't be feeding them!
In the afternoon, Liu Yunxiang took Zijin to the Lingyun Grain Store. This time of the year was when the geese returned to the city. She was afraid that the farm laborers would be hungry, so she asked Zhang Qi to send a few carts of grain there first.

After the autumn harvest in Yangui City, if it ends well, it can be supplied to Lingyun grain shops all over the country, and there is no need to transport it from other places.

Walking out of the grain shop and walking to the street, there are many shops, hawking sounds come and go on both sides, and pedestrians gather in groups.

The prosperity of Shengjing surpassed other places after all.

Liu Yunxiang saw a seller of tiger-toe shoes, and just picked up a pair when someone called her.

She looked up, but saw Xie Zi'an standing a few steps away, looking at her with tears in her eyes. He interpreted various complex emotions of shock, joy, and disbelief very well.

"Xiangxiang, is it really you?"

He walked over quickly step by step, and walked up to Liu Yunxiang, "It's really you..."

As he said that, he, a big man, started to cry, and this movement quickly attracted a large number of onlookers.

"I thought that life and death were boundless, and that there was no longer any figure of you in this world. Every night, when I woke up in panic, the side of the bed was cold, how many times I wanted to hang up the white silk, and simply go to the underworld to find you, but there is an old man Mother, there are a few ignorant nephews and nieces below, I can't help it!"

A big man burst into tears, crying so hard that he couldn't stand up, and the bystanders couldn't help but wiped away their tears.

"This is not the Marquis of Jing'an."

"Then this woman is Mrs. Jing'an Hou? She is not dead?"

"There is such a strange thing in the world. It is really like what is written in the playbook. The love between the Marquis of Jing'an and Mrs. Jing'an has moved the heavens. God can't bear to separate them."
