Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 12 Buying a Murderer (1)

Sure enough, it was Tween's official appointment. Li Tian was wrapped in a cloak and stood on the porch, looking at the courtyard full of twists and turns, and the plum trees that had just been pruned, his heart was cold. Besides her, who else could be this black hand?

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Mrs. Lin's funeral. Early this morning, Li Tian followed the white funeral procession in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion and sent Mrs. Lin's coffin to Fayun Temple for temporary posting.

In the evening, after the ceremony was over, Li Tian didn't go back with him, but borrowed a quaint Wujin mansion next to Fayun Temple, saying he would stay for two days to accompany his grandmother.

Li Tian planned to tell Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke earlier that Mrs. Xu could not rest assured that Li Tian lived alone outside the city. She took Yu Yaofang to the house early in the morning and must stay with her for two days.

Lin Ke naturally wanted to follow Li Tian. With Mrs. Xu watching, Princess Jiang was very relieved. After telling Lin Ke a few words, she got in the car and hurried back. The Wenhui was held again, and this was the most important thing. During this critical period, if she didn't take care of the food and daily life of her two sons, she would not be relieved anyway.

The next day, just as the sky turned white, Li Tian had already offered good incense to grandma in Fayun Temple, closed the hall door and came out, Yue Niang rushed to the corridor leading to the back mountain and pouted, "Here we are."

"En." Li Tian entered the hallway, shopkeeper Cheng and Sun Liu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Yue Niang stood upright on the threshold of the hallway with her hands behind her back, paying attention to the movement around her.

"Arranged?" Li Tian looked at Sun Liu and asked, Sun Liu nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, it's Yan Laoer's long follower named Wang Jiu who came out to do this murderous thing. It's all right." Sun Liu bowed slightly and looked up at Li Tian.

"En." Li Tian responded, turned to look at Shopkeeper Cheng, but asked something irrelevant: "Have you heard anything about Qingfenglou Wenhui?"

"There are many sayings. One is that officials should cultivate their literary spirit, and they also use this to let the princes learn a thing or two."

"This is the official statement." Li Tian interjected.

"Yes, there is another one. No one said it clearly. The meaning behind the words is beyond the meaning. The princes are all grown up, and the bones of the official family... It's not easy. I'm afraid this is going to let go and compete." Shopkeeper Cheng's voice was suppressed. Li Tian tightened his cloak and looked at the distant mountains without saying a word. She was more inclined to say that the current emperor is an extremely powerful master, and the royal family has never been able to reason with common sense. He and his sons are fighting against each other, so as to raise the most poisonous Gu king prince to take the throne, but pity the people below, how many fish in the pond will die.

"There is another kind, which comes from the palace. It is said that the official family asked several princes to hold this literary meeting in turn, so that their brothers can be close and have a blind date. The official family is also in their 50s. This person is old. I just want to see the brotherhood of the children and grandchildren, and the family is harmonious, there is some truth to this." Shopkeeper Cheng added his own analysis.

Li Tian twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a sarcasm smile, brotherly affection?These six princes and six mothers started fighting each other before they were born, and their hatred was almost the same. How could such a shrewd master of the emperor be so foolish.

"Well, is there anything else to say?"

"There's nothing else."

"Hmm." Li Tian wrapped his cloak tightly, lowered his head and slowly turned around twice, looked at shopkeeper Cheng and said: "If the brothers are going on a blind date, try to make it more prosperous in the past two days, especially in the government office and Dali Temple. Two places, plus respecting the old and loving the young, family reconciliation, etc., anyway, it is almost the Spring Festival, these words are just right."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Cheng replied bluntly: "I'll think of a way to let the people in the government office and Dali Temple hear what the people in the palace said with their own ears. If this word is heard in their ears, they will have to weigh it carefully when judging the case. As for the arrangement, my boss, I don’t think it’s necessary. If we can’t reach the top, I’m afraid it will be a waste of money.”

"Well, you and Steward Sun are discussing this matter. It's getting late, so go back quickly." Li Tian ordered, shopkeeper Cheng agreed, and Sun Liu bowed to leave. One went to the back of the mountain, and the other to the front of the mountain. go back.

Li Tian listened to the birdsong in the forest, and walked back slowly. Yue Niang took big steps, stepped out with one step, stopped for a while, and then stepped out with another step, walking like wearing high-soled boots on a stage. Walking like an old man, he asked, "Tell me, what will be the sentence for these two bastards from the Yan family who paid for murder? Beheading?"

"No, it's Er Ye Yan who bought the crime. You have to be exiled according to the law. It depends on whether it's three thousand miles or five thousand miles. I don't plan to bring Uncle Yan into this matter. He is also a sin of lax family management, but A few years of salary, or a stick on the spine, and contemplation behind closed doors."

"They are all ferrets, you still kill one and let the other go. When did you become so merciful?"

"It's not mercy. They have already started to attack us. There are already two wolves. We don't know how many there are in secret. We are so weak. It's not easy to kill any of them. It's better to keep them all. Anyway, the meat is only this one." , If one wolf bites, the other one will have nothing to eat, I don't believe they don't bite dogs." Li Tian kicked a small stone away viciously.Yue Niang raised her brows high, stayed for a moment, and then laughed with a 'ha'.

Firstly, as the Spring Festival was approaching, and secondly, there were piles of bad things in Qingjianghou's mansion. Li Tian didn't dare to delay Mrs. Xu, so he stayed for one night and set off for the capital the next day.

It is only about ten miles from Fayun Temple to the capital. Except for more than one mile, there are small hills on one side and woods on the other side, which seems a bit remote. The rest of the road is flat and spacious.

Fayun Temple is a frequent route to the capital. Mrs. Xu is in a car by herself, and she is reclining in the carriage with her eyes closed. In fact, she wants to stay outside Fayun Temple for two more days. Here, I don't know how many troubles are waiting.

Li Tian, ​​Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke were sitting in the big car behind, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke were chatting about the girl's family, Li Tian was leaning on a half-worn silk pillow, While listening to the gossip between the two, he paid attention to the movement outside the car.

The car swayed slightly, not going fast, until the sun was glowing red and rising into the air, several cars slowly drove into the hills and the woods.

"Second car, second car!" There was a shout of excitement outside, followed by a loud bang, the car of Li Tian's three people suddenly rushed forward, Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke screamed in fear, Li Tian Tian pulled one with each hand, raised her foot and kicked the not very fastened carriage door, before she kicked the carriage door, the carriage door opened from the outside, Yue Niang leaned in, stretched out her hand to hold Li Tian, ​​relaxed He dragged her out and put her on the ground, then reached out and dragged Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke out.

Li Tian hurriedly pushed the two of them and said, "Hurry up, go up the hillside!" Yu Yaofang and Lin Ke were dizzy, and Li Tian pushed them up the hillside while holding their skirts.

The three of them ran up the hillside for dozens of steps, Li Tian stopped, turned around and looked back, there were four rogues in front of the car, all wearing green silk shirts, with one corner of the gown tucked around their waists, two wielding knives, two Holding a stick, they fought with a dozen or so long-term guards. The two horses in front of the car were greatly frightened. They wanted to escape but were dragged by the overturned car behind them. Standing up their hind hooves, the narrow road became a mess.

Li Tian chose a place with a wide view to stand still, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the four seemingly smart but extremely stupid rogues, and sighed lightly, if only those wolves were so stupid.Yue Niang had already helped Mrs. Xu out, and stood between the three of Li Tian and Mrs. Xu in order to watch the fun. Such a few rascals would be enough to have those long tails, she would not bother to make a move.

Not far behind Li Tian's car, twenty or thirty guards wearing pure black brocade jackets and black cross-footed headbands, strong, capable, and very neat guards surrounded one in the middle, who was wearing a silver-blue brocade jacket and an indigo woven jacket on the outside. The young man in the brocade cloak came on horseback.Those horses were as handsome as humans, running steadily and extremely fast. The cloak of the young man in brocade was blown back by the wind, shining softly in the bright sunlight.

When a group of people were a shot away from the bustling overturned place, the speed of the horses did not decrease at all. They turned around and went straight up the hill next to them, and rushed to the highest point. Lifting high, almost standing up, this rush stopped very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a group of people settled firmly on the top of the hill.

The young man in brocade who was guarded by the man in black in the middle had his sword eyebrows slightly slanted, his eyes were black and bright, and his nose was straight. Looking at the excitement below.

The young man in brocade clothes looked at the four miserable green rogues surrounded by a dozen long followers, frowned in disgust, turned his eyes away, and looked at Mrs. Xu and the others standing on the hillside one by one. Seeing Li Tian, ​​his eyes Stopped, this is just a back view, dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, the wind blowing skirt slightly flutters, like a bluegrass hanging from the cliff, standing still, revealing an indescribable charm.

In the middle of the road, two hooligans with knives struggled to rush up the hillside a few steps, turned their heads and shouted at the opposite forest: "My lord! Three beauties, which one should I kill?"

The young man in brocade clothes was stunned by the loud shout, frowned angrily, raised his horsewhip wrapped with gold thread, and signaled: "The man of the chief envoy is in the woods, tie them back, and tie up those thieves too. Send it to the government office." The middle-aged guard next to the young man in brocade clothes promised, raised his hand and ordered two people each, and went all the way to the woods and all the way down the mountain to tie up the people.

When Li Tian heard the movement behind him, he turned around and looked up the mountain. At the top of the mountain, the guards in black had already guarded the young man in brocade clothes, urging his horse to run towards the capital.

In this near-miss robbery, Mrs. Xu was the most frightened. Just after she breathed a sigh of relief, the black-clothed guards who rushed down from the hillside with men and horses frightened her into a ghastly fright. On the contrary, Yue Niang hurriedly grabbed her and comforted her: "He is here to save us, look, everyone is tied up." Mrs. Xu took a breath, and she was able to see clearly. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered Daughter, Li Tian and the others suddenly had their hearts raised in their throats, holding Yue Niang tightly with one hand, and looked around anxiously: "Yaoyao? Sister Tian? Ke'er?"

"It's all good, look, it's there." Yue Niang looked at Mrs. Xu who was almost out of her mind, wanted to laugh but couldn't really laugh, turned her face and pointed at Yu Yaofang and the other three standing on the hillside.
