Chapter 138

Mrs. Jiang was immediately furious at his words, "This little bastard still knows how to save face? Why didn't he lose face when he was hugging a servant in the daylight when he was so majestic yesterday? He didn't even dare to go home. If you have the courage, you still want to learn from those dandies and stay out of human affairs. Go, go back with me immediately, if he doesn’t give me an explanation today, I will give him an explanation.”

Mrs. Jiang was provoked by Du Hu, and immediately left angrily, without even saying hello to Gao.

Du Hu gave Yun Jiu'an a helpless look, and hurried after him.

Yun Yunming was overwhelmed by her words, not knowing what Song Yanning did to offend his mother.

Yun Jiu'an felt a little bit sorry in his heart, if it wasn't for her, Song Yanning wouldn't have made such a fuss and couldn't return home.With Mrs. Jiang's angry appearance, it can only be said that he can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, and I don't know what will happen to him later?
*
On the tenth day of the winter month, there was a slight cold, and there was light snow in the sky again, thousands of miles of silver, and the inside and outside of Pingjing City was solemn.

In the palace, the court meeting in the Taiji Hall was like a kiln of ice, and all the ministers were silent about the assassination of the emperor's eldest grandson.

The former crown prince had passed away for many years, but Li Yunsheng was the only one left behind. Except for the foundation of the crown princess's natal family, he was almost an ordinary emperor's grandson and would not pose a threat to anyone at all.

However, the cruel assassination on Hengshan Road this time still used a heart-piercing crossbow that even Daqing hadn't made yet. This is clearly a contempt for the royal family and a provocation to Tianwei.

Emperor Jingwen was furious, and dragged the two eunuchs who were responsible for keeping the Chuanxinnutu to the court to rectify the Fa, but was stopped by Dali Temple Minister Xiong Bingrui and Yushi Zhang Qingchun.

Xiong Bingrui said that it is easy to kill two lazy ministers who neglected their duties, but if they missed the clues to arrest the person who stole the pictures because of this, it would be worth the gain.

Zhang Qingchun is also a minister who is not afraid of death. He bluntly said that beheading ministers at the court meeting is not in compliance with the regulations.

When everyone was in a cold sweat, Emperor Jingwen finally controlled his anger and ordered the general and supervisor to drag them out.

Followed by Fu Honglu, the servant of the Ministry of War, reported that Yin Zhao was assassinated and killed by a heart-piercing crossbow in Hedu more than a month ago, which caused an uproar among the courtiers.

If it is said that the heart piercing crossbow was made by the person who stole the map more than a month ago, and the important general was assassinated at Hedu, the matter is already more complicated.

Under the discussion of all the courtiers, Emperor Jingwen finally issued an order, deciding that Dali Temple Minister, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Yushi Zhongcheng should investigate the theft of the heart-piercing crossbow together. And bring the crossbowmaker to justice!
After all the courtiers went down to the court, some of them left after talking with their colleagues, and some were left behind by Emperor Jingwen and asked about other matters before they could leave.

Liang Ziyuan reported some things to Emperor Jingwen in the side hall, and was sent out by Wang Deshun about half an hour later.

Fu Yuanhao had been waiting at the gate of the palace all this time, seeing him walking out with ease, he went up to meet him and said, "Can Captain Liang have a drink with me?"

Liang Ziyuan clasped his fists and said, "What advice does Master Fu have?"

Fu Yuanhao smiled and said, "I don't dare to give advice. I just want to tell Lieutenant Liang about Yin Zhao's murder in detail. I hope it will be of some help to you in investigating the case."

Liang Ziyuan was a little confused: "Sir Fu should invite Master Xiong and the others to listen to such matters? I'm just assisting in the investigation."

Fu Yuanhao said: "Master Xiong, I have my father to explain it in detail. Why, Captain Liang doesn't want to drink with me?"

Liang Ziyuan really didn't want to drink with him, firstly, he had other important matters, and secondly, he didn't want to hear him ask about Yun Ping'an.

Right now, the push must be impossible, so he had no choice but to forcefully say: "Since Mr. Fu thinks highly of it, it's better to be respectful than obedient. Please."

After a while, the two were having a drink in the hall of the Fu family.

With just a few appetizers, Fu Yuanhao described the whole process of Yin Zhao's killing in an unhurried manner, and finally said: "I came back to Beijing to find out about the heart-piercing crossbow. Have you ever heard of this, Lieutenant?"

Liang Ziyuan took a sip of his wine, "The Holy Majesty has already informed me and asked me to pay attention to this matter. Apart from knowing that Wang Chuanling of the Military Armament Superintendent concealed the theft of the heart-piercing crossbow map, I have never cared about the person who stole the map. No clue."

Wang Chuanling clearly mentioned that Pirate Figure was tall and powerful...Fu Yuanhao didn't even point it out, "It's a blessing that the Holy Majesty has trust in Captain Liang. In fact, I still have a clue for Liangdu. Captain reference."

"Appreciate further details."

Fu Yuanhao told about the discovery of the man carrying the crossbow on Hengshan Road, "If I hadn't been lured away from the convoy that day, my son and my concubine would not have been taken away together. Now, Xiaoer is in the magistrate's mansion of You County. I was found, but my concubine and one of my friends from the rivers and lakes are still missing."

Liang Ziyuan sighed: "It seems that Mr. Fu has fallen into someone else's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. But I don't know if there are any clues here for reference?"

Fu Yuanhao laughed and said: "According to my conjecture and Lord He Qiuhe's, the kidnapping of my little concubine and a little friend is most likely the masterpiece of the person who stole the picture, and the purpose is to prevent me from further investigating the case. Now that County Magistrate You has been arrested, Mr. He has made great efforts to torture him to extract a confession, so we are not afraid that he will not confess to the person who ordered him."

Liang Ziyuan's face tightened. He thought that Fu Yuanhao would use Gao's words as an introduction to directly ask him about Yun Ping'an's whereabouts. If he asked like that, he could naturally excuse that it was Gao's nonsense.

In the end, he didn't mention a word, and instead assigned Yun Ping'an's disappearance to the person who stole the picture.He also specifically mentioned Mr. He's torture to extract a confession, which means...

He was furious in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Torture to extract a confession is good, I'm afraid that some people will jump over the wall in a hurry, and just catch anyone and bite them."

As soon as his complexion turned bad, Fu Yuanhao's mood became better, "The heart-piercing crossbow is a weapon that His Majesty values ​​very much. If someone wants to get his hands on it, he may cause trouble before he smells the smell of fish."

Liang Ziyuan clenched his fingers secretly, was this warning him that if he didn't hand over Yun Ping'an, he was going to plant a spoil on him and say that he was related to the picture thief?
Thinking that Liang Ziyuan has done such things countless times, there will be a day when he will be threatened like this.

He laughed, "Master Fu is right. From this point of view, rather than having no clue, it's better to stay by Mr. He's side, and maybe we can get some useful clues from Magistrate You."

Fu Yuanhao also laughed, "Liang Duwei is right. Come on, do it!"

After the two drank the wine in the glass, he said again: "After returning to Beijing, I heard some rumors about Captain Liang and my cousin Yun Jiu'an. I think Captain Liang already has a family. Your wife also said that it would be impossible for her cousin to enter your Liang family's door in her life. A few days ago, she was afraid that her cousin would be sad, so she asked her specifically, and she found out that she said it was all rumors that the outside world deliberately ruined her reputation. Wei has never had any affection. What does Captain Liang think of this?"

Liang Ziyuan said indifferently: "As your lord said, they are all rumors from the outside world and cannot be trusted."

"My cousin is not good-looking. Although she is a concubine, she has a very high spirit. She told me long ago that she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. So I have found a good husband for her, and I will be there soon. Yun Mansion proposes marriage."

A sneer flashed across Liang Ziyuan's eyes, and he raised his glass and said, "Then I wish my cousin a good marriage as soon as possible and a good relationship. Do it!"

Fu Yuanhao, who was holding a cup to drink, was gloomy in his heart, but continued to practice Tai Chi with him without showing any signs of expression.

It wasn't until noon that the two of them finished their meal of wine.

After sending Liang Ziyuan away, Fu Yuanhao immediately called Yan Yichen and Luo Feifan in, "Both of you quickly write to ask your master to come to Beijing, I'm afraid something will happen to Xiao Wuzhen."

Yan Yichen was startled, "How did you see that?"

Fu Yuanhao frowned, "I'm just judging from Liang Ziyuan's words, I hope my judgment is wrong. When you two have spare time, go talk to your Senior Sister Gu. After all, her father is the leader of the martial arts alliance. She has a certain reputation, let's see if she can recruit some capable people to follow Liang Ziyuan to find someone."

Luo Feifan said: "Liang Ziyuan's martial arts are so strong, it's hard for ordinary people to keep up with him."

Yan Yichen said: "If you can't follow, you have to follow. I will write a letter to Master later, and then go to see Senior Sister Gu."

Fu Yuanhao nodded and confessed again before going out.

At the same time, Mr. Luo from Zuixinlou was talking about the strange things on Wuji Mountain in the classroom:
"...Let's say that apart from the five characteristics of strangeness, steepness, danger, seclusion, and beauty, the biggest feature of this Wuji Mountain is that it is rich in black-bone chicken. The meat is not only delicious, but also has miraculous effects when used as medicine to treat women's diseases. A few years ago, Wuji Mountain was also Many people often went to hunt and kill, and hunted a lot of black-bone chickens for people to eat. Later, because of the female ghosts who could eat people in Wuji Mountain, all the people who entered the mountain were either crazy or insane, or died or died or had no bones left. It just faded out of people's sight..."

Mr. Luo, who had been talking for an hour, took a sip of tea, "I didn't expect that a month ago, there would be that bold and greedy bet to eat the delicious black-bone chicken. A dozen or so people went into the mountain, and only then did they reach the mountainside. Then there was the cry of the female ghost. Immediately afterwards, another song was sung, "The black-bone chicken grows on the black-bone chicken mountain, and the fallen flowers are like a dream, and the talk is desolate. Lang has no sound, his worries are endless, and his concubine is thin. Who knows, I am idle in the jade cage." Jun Shi'. The crowd ran down the mountain in fright, and injured three of them."

"Young people don't know the fear that the old people have experienced. After that day, the gambling house has even started. Whoever has the courage to catch the female ghost pretending to be a ghost on Wuji Mountain can get a lot of money. There is that Those who do good things increase their stakes day by day, seeing that the lottery is accumulating more and more, and the number of people going to Wuji Mountain is also increasing day by day..."

"Unfortunately, until yesterday, even if the disciples of Jingcizhai came thousands of miles away, they couldn't go up the mountain. There was no reason at all. All the people who went up could hear the female ghost's cries and singing, and they couldn't go up the mountain at all. "

"What about black-bone chickens? The black-bone chickens on Wuji Mountain have not been hunted for many years, so there should be black-bone chickens everywhere on the mountain."

Following this female voice, a little girl with dark skin came in from the door.

Mr. Luo's eyes lit up, "It's strange to say that all the people who went halfway up the mountain only heard the crowing of chickens on the mountain, but there was no chicken at the foot of the mountain."

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, "I must have been driven to the mountain by that female ghost."

"Very likely." Mr. Luo laughed loudly, and as soon as he made a decision, he ended the storytelling again. If he wanted to know what happened next, he would announce it tomorrow.

He entered the back hall, and the little girl followed him.Mr. Luo hurriedly moved the chair and poured water for her, "Miss Yun Wu has not been here for a long time, did she forget someone Luo?"

"If I forget, I won't come here today." Yun Jiu'an sat down unceremoniously, "Mr. Luo has nothing to say recently, so he actually talked about such pretentious things?"

"Miss Yun Wu, don't look at the quietness of the family today. It's because some people have been waiting for the results for the past two days and are getting tired of hearing it." Mr. Luo sat down opposite her, "However, since it was rumored that there was a female ghost singing in Wuji Mountain, is there any People from outside Shaojing came here to watch the excitement."

Yun Jiu'an asked, "A lot of people came, but no one went up?"

"That's right, I didn't hear what I said just now that even the people in Jingcizhai were alarmed, and they can only hang around on the mountainside." Speaking of this, Mr. Luo said mysteriously: "Miss Yun Wu is here, is there something good? Sell ​​the news to me?"

"There is no good news about selling to you. But there must be money to be made."

"Oh? How to make money?"

Yun Jiu'an said with a smile: "I've already inquired about it. Sir, he talked about Wuji Mountain for [-] days, almost at the same time as the storytellers from several other restaurants. I wonder if Mr. Luo can tell me, who gave it to me?" Your money made you talk for eighteen days."

Mr. Luo was startled at first, then clapped his hands and smiled, "Miss Yun Wu is indeed an interesting person. What's the matter, are you going to spend money to inquire about the person who asked me to tell the story?"

Unexpectedly, Yun Jiu'an shook his head, "No. I just want to confirm whether Mr. Luo was entrusted by someone. Now I have the answer, so I will leave."

She took a sip of hot tea and left in a big way.Mr. Luo was so angry that he boasted so much, he shouted behind her: "You little iron rooster, don't even think about entering my door again. If I'm so mad, I will..."

Then he shouted again: "Last time when you came here, you drank the tea that our Young Master's family had drunk. The Young Master's family was disgusted for a long time, and the person who said it was good asked you a little girl to give me a kiss..."

Mr. Luo was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say for a while, which made Yun Jiu'an feel dazed for a while. Song Yanning was there when she came to Zuixinlou last time?And drank the same glass of water with him?Been sick for a long time?

Yun Jiuan walked even more hastily, as if Song Yanning was watching her from a corner of Zuixin Building.

She walked to the outside of Zuixin Building as if fleeing, Qian Lu parked the carriage outside the door, and Qiu Yun was sitting in the carriage and waiting.

Seeing her getting into the car, Qian Lu asked, "Where are you going now?"

Yun Jiu'an ordered: "The prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Liang Ziyuan came out from Fu's house and took the reins from Ah Hong, "I'm going to the dungeon now, you two guard me against the tail behind me."

Ah Hong said: "Didn't your lord say you are going to the Nufang Department?"

Liang Ziyuan smiled coldly, "I've changed my mind. I have to dispose of that trash first, otherwise this Mr. Fu will think I'm a vegetarian." To threaten him, he must always let him know the consequences of threatening him.
