Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 18
Beiguan is located in Luzhou. From Pingyang to the north, across the entire Qingzhou, you can reach Luzhou. However, Shengyang and his party detoured Luozhou and walked for ten days longer. At this time, they even detoured a county in the south of Luozhou .

This place is called Langzhong County, which is a very unique place name. It is surrounded by water on all sides and mountains on three sides.

On the street with blue bricks and green tiles, Sheng Yang and his party stopped in front of a back alley.

The carriage was too big to enter, so Sheng Yang condescended to get out of the carriage, and walked a few steps in person, Wen Ming led the way, and stopped in front of the already dilapidated gate, he looked up at the plaque that had long been obscured, and said no in his heart It's been so long, it's finally here.

Wen Ming knocked on the door.

After several rounds of knocking, there were finally the sound of slow footsteps approaching inside.

"Squeak", the wooden door made the sound of years.

An old woman with white hair poked her head out.

"Who are you looking for!" Her trembling voice echoed in the empty street.

"It's me, Li Rongyue."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and stepped out of the door. Song Yi estimated that she should be seven or eighty years old, her legs were already trembling, and she couldn't walk easily, so she stepped forward to help her.

Sheng Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling slightly displeased, but he didn't open his mouth to interrupt.

With Song Yi's support, the old lady came down to Sheng Yang, and she leaned closer to think about it carefully.

"Who do you say you are?"

She didn't even hear it just now.

"Hehe, Li Rongyue."

It was April, and the weather was warm, but the sound of the sun was colder than the ice and snow in the twelfth lunar month of winter, piercing the bone marrow.

"Your Highness?" She was taken aback.

Then he got closer and took a closer look.

Sheng Yang saw the wrinkles that exploded at the corners of her eyes, the skin on her cheeks couldn't hang anymore, and her eyes seemed to be blurry, which was far from what she remembered.

But there was a small mole at the corner of her mouth, which I remembered very well, and it happened to hang on the corner of her mouth at this moment, reminding myself that she was still alive.

The old woman seemed to finally see clearly, and shouted,
"Your Highness! It's your Highness who has come down!"

Her old body shook, and she fell to her knees suddenly, her knees creaked, as if she had seen a ghost, people kept bowing forward, "Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Thank you for remembering, Nanny Gui."

There was a weird smile on Sheng Yang's mouth.

Nanny Gui is only in her early fifties, but she looks like an old woman in her 80s and [-]s. Sheng Yang feels that this is all due to her bad deeds.

On that day at Honglu Temple, if Nanny Gui hadn’t hidden Shengyang’s jade privately and sent Wen Ming away to look for it, they wouldn’t have delayed their departure until dark, nor would they have dispersed their troops and let the other party take all of it. Advantage.

Sheng Yang had been insane for two years, so she did not participate in the judgment of this matter. At the time of the pursuit of responsibility, the other parties involved were already dead, and no one knew the inside story. It was only after she regained consciousness that she learned about the day that Nanny Gui He recovered his life, but he was frightened to the point of insanity, and was sent out by the palace, claiming that he died together with his master.Because she followed her into the palace from the empress's mother's house, she even got some pensions, occupied the yard built here by a distant relative of Wen's family, and managed to survive for so many years.

When Sheng Yangchu heard Wen Ming report this matter, the two of them gritted their teeth with hatred, but after thinking about it, if she stayed outside the palace, she might reveal flaws related to the murderer behind her. Farewell is worse than death, which is also a kind of torture, so I just sent someone to monitor her day after day.

"Don't worry, your daughter Xin'er is now in the princess mansion, she is the princess's personal maid, the princess treats her very well."

Wen Ming said gloomyly that this traitor wanted to cut her into pieces 12 years ago, and he had waited too long for this day.

Now only he, the princess and Nanny Gui are left in this room. They came today to ask about the inside story of that year. She has lived long enough, and she will not be of any other use. If there is nothing to say, let it be over directly, and it will make him and the princess feel better.

Nanny Gui seemed to have some mental problems, she stared blankly at the front, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the words, she nodded blankly, "That's good, that's good."

"That's right, Xin'er was specially taken back to the mansion by Bengong, just because she was afraid that she would be bullied outside. You haven't seen her for many years, and she looks quite similar to you."

Sheng Yang took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers. It was unlucky that she accidentally touched the table here just now. After wiping her hands carefully, she added in a whisper:
"It's a pity, it's a pity that she looks too much like you. It's very uncomfortable for me to look at her. Sometimes I can't help but want to peel off her face and change it to someone pleasing to the eye."

Only then did Nanny Gui come to her senses, startled, she knelt back on the ground, "Your Highness! Your Highness, please spare me, it's all my fault, it's my fault, please let my daughter go! She was with you at that time. It's average, and doesn't know anything, my little Highness, please spare me!"

"Puff," Sheng Yang couldn't help laughing, but there was a terrifying chill in his eyes, "I won't pretend to be stupid this time."

"We also know that you have never married or given birth in this life. With just such a daughter, if you want His Highness to look at your daughter more pleasingly, it depends on your performance in the past half an hour."

She collapsed slightly to the ground, as if her strength had been exhausted by the actions just now, and she was unable to struggle anymore.

Sheng Yang and Wen Ming looked at each other, they didn't expect her to collapse so easily.

"The little one is already at this age, and there is nothing to do. It's just that my daughter is well-behaved. She has been away from her mother since she was a child. She is innocent. Please give her a life, Your Highness."

"You also know that she is not accompanied by her mother... the empress and prince died tragically, and my father also died tragically. Your Highness and I have no parents to accompany you. This is all thanks to you. Even if you are alive, you will never see you again." As for my daughter, no one cares about her for more than ten years, she did something wrong, she didn’t dare to leave the door, she didn’t dare to sleep at night, she suffered the pain of life and separation, and the pain of loneliness! This is your retribution from heaven!”

Wen Ming is usually not surprised by favors or humiliations, but today he revealed his true feelings, his face flushed with anger.

"Poison woman! Let me ask you, you deliberately hid His Highness's jade that day, just to distract my father and kill his team alone! Yes or no!"

"Boss Wen...Boss Wen, I'm sorry for him...he treats me very well," she sobbed, "It's my fault, I believed the words of Miss Qing next to the imperial concubine, she told me that as long as I I'll hide His Highness's jade and lure Director Wen away. I don't have to worry about the rest... I really didn't know they were going to do this! Me too... I almost died too, if I didn't pretend to be dead In the past, how could I have this life!"

Wen Ming's teeth were almost gritted, "I don't know! It's ridiculous! The Sheng family intends to fight for the crown prince. This is something that all the beggars on the street knew. You didn't know a word, but you wanted to pick yourself clean. You obviously knew but Pretend not to know and just excuse yourself! My father was kind to his subordinates, the first queen and first prince were gentle, they all treated you well, why did you conspire with the Sheng family to kill them without a whole body!"

She was crying out of breath, her appearance almost made people believe that she regretted it very much, "My husband is sick and needs some money urgently, I dare not ask Mr. Wen to borrow it..." Her eyes flashed, as if Recalling something, "Don't blame me, really don't blame me, it was Director Wen who just punished me for stealing money from the mansion, I'm afraid of him!"

Wen Ming also seemed to recall something, "You white-eyed wolf! At that time you stole the master's money, and you should have been expelled from the palace. It was my father who secretly kept it from him and only punished you slightly. I didn't expect him to be soft-hearted for a moment. I was actually killed by your ungratefulness!"

"It's my fault, it's my fault, I regret it, little Highness, little Highness," she took a few steps forward and hugged Sheng Yang's leg, "Little Highness, I'm sorry for you."

Sheng Yang frowned, kicked her hard, and kicked her to the ground again, Wen Ming stepped forward and quickly held her down.

"Your Highness, you and other filthy people can touch it at will!"

Sheng Yang's face was full of disgust at the moment, she could no longer stand this damp and dark room, and this pretentious, dying old woman.

"Where is my jade?"

Nanny Gui was taken aback, then raised her head and looked at Sheng Yang in confusion, "The little one has been returned to His Highness..."

"Nonsense! Your Highness doesn't even know how you returned it to Your Highness."

"The little one is going to leave the palace that day, and I have entrusted the accompanying bus to His Highness."

"Who is the person you entrusted, and what is his name?"

"Call... Call... Your Highness... Let me think about it, let me think about it, that day he led me out without introducing himself, and when I walked to the back garden of the Royal Garden, the Grand Duke in front of the Holy One called him, that Grand Duke The father-in-law called..."

"At that time, the Grand Duke in front of the Holy One was surnamed Cheng."

"Oh... yes, Eunuch Cheng called him, little... Xiaoyuzi! I remember, it was Xiaoyuzi, and I just caught a glimpse of the fish in the pond, thinking why he called him by this name, why not just call him Xiaoyuer gone."

"Elder Yu..." Wen Ming looked at Sheng Yang in surprise, this Eunuch Yu is now the Grand Duke in front of the Holy One.

Sheng Yang thought about it a little, it seemed to coincide with her guess.

"Your Highness, have I done meritorious service? Your Highness, please spare my life, please spare my life! I am already dying, let me die myself!"

Sheng Yang walked out without hearing anything, Wen Ming stayed in the room for a while, only heard a short groan behind him, and the birds in front of the scattered trees called twice, the alley was quieter than before the cars and horses came just now.

"Your Highness," Song Yi came up worriedly.

Sheng Yang was still thinking about something, and got into the car with his support.

With a sound of "bang", Wen Ming walked out and closed the door. He looked out of the sky, looked up to the sky and let out a long breath.

"Commander Song, please send two people in to deal with it."

Song Yi froze for a moment before he understood what it meant, and was surprised in his heart by the identity of the old woman just now, that Wen Ming was allowed to do it himself... During the time he was thinking, Wen Ming had already got on the horse and walked ahead.

"Commander Song, follow up quickly, the Qingzhou state capital is ahead."

"Here we come." Song Yi couldn't figure out the situation, but he followed quickly.
