The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 16
Qiongcheng, the capital of the country, is the largest city in Yuxue. At the foot of the emperor, there is a beautiful scene.Along the way, the grass grows and the warblers fly, the weeping willows and the sunset are as beautiful as picturesque, but there are some discordant voices in this beautiful scenery.

In the largest restaurant in the west of the city, a table of scholars was very angry. A tall scholar said: "The matter of the second prince and the seventh princess is too dishonest. Prime Minister Ning is an upright official and loves the people like a son, which is rare." Good looks, but the second prince was imprisoned for collaborating with the enemy, and the seventh princess came to kill relatives righteously and testified in person. In just a few days, the emperor was convicted and executed by the whole family. It is said that even the third division did not .”

"Hmph, Prime Minister Ning proposed to prohibit the rich from building houses and hunting grounds, and leave the best land for the people to cultivate. You don't know how many people have been offended by this item, but what can the third division do? It's not the same The result." A white-clothed scholar next to him was even more aggrieved.

A dark-faced scholar on the opposite side looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, the second prince is getting close to the fifth prince now, and the fifth prince is the grandson of the Zhang family, and the Zhang family, who is the prime minister, has been staring at him for a long time. Ning Xiang made a mistake because he refused to stand on either side of the fifth prince or the third prince. Let him go."

The taller book was thoughtful, "But the seventh princess is also strange. She has married the second son of the Xiangfu, and she is so determined to testify. You must know that this is a gangster. I heard that the second son committed suicide on the spot after knowing about it." gone."

The black-faced scholar chuckled after hearing this, "You don't know, this will involve a secret of the Ning family. It was the eldest son Ning Haowen who made the marriage contract with the Seventh Princess back then. Not to mention, I heard that he can compose poetry at the age of seven, and that he can pass the examination for the number one scholar at the age of ten. He really passed the exam, but Ning Xiang said that he was too young to be competent, so he gave up the spot. But It also made the emperor value him very much, so he gave him a marriage to the seventh princess. Later, this young master Ning went out to study and met Hongmei, a famous prostitute who was famous all over the world at that time. With the permission of the royal family, the seventh princess was even more furious, and sent someone to assassinate Hongmei. The eldest son Ning was heartbroken for the death of his beloved, and hated the viciousness of the seventh princess even more. In a fit of anger, he saw through the world and became a monk. For some reason, the princess insisted on marrying into the Ning family, and she married the second son later."

A few people realized something in their hearts and continued to discuss quietly, but Yun Yuhong who was sitting next to him didn't care to listen any more.The Ning family, Ning Haowen, the seventh princess, yes, isn't this Ning Haowen the national teacher? It seems that something happened to the national teacher's family.

Yun Yuhong doesn't know what kind of person Ning Xiang is, but the second prince and the seventh princess are not good friends. Yun Yuhong is sure of this, but it's a pity that she came a few days late. Prime Minister Ning must have been beheaded. Unknown.But looking at the face of the national teacher, he can't do nothing, at least help his relatives to collect the corpse or pay homage to him.So Yun Yuhong asked the witty ghost to inquire about the whereabouts of Xia Ning's family's corpses. After a while, the witty ghost came back and said, "There are more than 50 members of the family, and no one dared to collect the corpses. They were all thrown into the mass graves."

Yun Yuhong nodded, and told everyone that she wanted to collect the corpses for Ning Xiang's family. Of course, this matter was related to the privacy of the national teacher. She didn't mention the national teacher, but said that she couldn't understand that a generation of loyal ministers were wronged and their corpses would not be buried in the wilderness. For safety, this was strongly opposed by the old Taoist.

"My little ancestor, you are looking for death. So many people dare not move. What are you going to do? There are many good people who have been wronged to death in this world. Can you take care of them? If someone sees you , will be chased and killed again." The old man jumped up anxiously.

Yun Yuhong ignored the old man, she would definitely do well what she wanted to do, she would not look forward and backward, let alone leave behind.So he ordered: "Me and the crybaby and the miserly ghost go first, the clever ghost, go find a few people to sell some coffins and then come, the unlucky ghost, you and the Taoist priest to find out where the ancestral grave of Xia Ning's family is, the Taoist priest is also ready Your Majesty, I heard that the soul of a person who died unjustly cannot rest in peace, so please do a ritual."

The old man was so angry that he stared but didn't dare to say anything, and several people started to act separately.

The west of the city is a slum, most people go to work during the day, there are very few people, and the closer to the mass graves, the less populated.

Several people were walking on the road, but a team suddenly appeared in front of them.There were about a hundred or so people, including soldiers in armor and entourages in green cloth clothes. Everyone was majestic, but the first thing Yun Yuhong noticed was the carriage in the middle with black lacquer and silver lacquer. The purple color is not very stunning, but behind the curtain blown up by the wind is a familiar monk and national teacher. How could he be here? Yun Yuhong didn't come to his senses until the team had passed by.

Yun Yuhong signaled the cheapskate to follow and have a look, but she still walked forward with the crybaby.Because they were young and dressed in ordinary clothes, they didn't attract the attention of others.

The mass grave is a big pit, and you can smell an unpleasant smell from a long distance. The two covered their mouths and noses, and when they came to the big pit, there were many corpses piled up inside, some of which had already rotted. But Ning Xiang's family is still easy to identify, the one with a severed head and wearing prison clothes on his body.After waiting for a while, the witty ghost brought the hired people, and Yun Yuhong asked them to start embalming the corpse, and then took it to the Ning family cemetery.He brought the crybaby back to the inn, and the miserly ghost came back after a while, telling Yun Yuhong that he followed the group of people to the Seventh Princess' Mansion.

How did this matter turn out like this, what is going on with the national teacher, Yun Yuhong must figure it out, so she decided to go to the seventh princess's mansion at night, if it is really the national teacher, then she can't ignore it asked.It was such a fun thing, the four little ghosts had to follow, in the end, Yun Yuhong decided to keep the clever ghost to accompany the fidgeting old man, and everyone else went.

In the middle of the night, the flying eaves and brackets, the blue tiles and high walls, and the vermilion lacquer gate of the Princess Mansion are all silent in the darkness, only a faint shadow.The four of them walked around to the back door in night clothes, and entered through the back door over the wall.Ordinarily, everyone should be asleep at this hour, but the princess mansion is brightly lit and people are coming and going.

A row of maidservants hurried with teacups. "I heard that the second prince and the princess lost their temper. They are brothers and sisters with the same mother, and their relationship has always been good. How could there be such a quarrel?" The little maid and her accomplice who were walking behind whispered their ears.

Another person whispered: "It's not because of that monk. It seems that the monk is a powerful person. The second prince said he would kill him, but the princess insisted on staying, so there was a quarrel. Seeing the posture of the second prince, isn't it? I won’t leave after I’ve achieved my goal.”

"Is it the monk who was locked in the dungeon of the East Courtyard? He hasn't eaten for a day. The princess doesn't look like she wants to save him."

"Save him, if I am a monk, I would rather be hacked by the second prince than fall into the hands of the princess." Another maid curled her lips, and the two gradually walked away.

Yun Yuhong on the eaves beckoned and led a few people to the east.

The dungeon in the east courtyard is easy to find, guarded by four dozing soldiers, obviously telling you that someone is locked up here.The cheapskate stepped forward and clicked on a few people's acupuncture points, took the key, and the four of them entered the dungeon.

The space inside was not large, so they quickly saw the national teacher in the prison.It's just that the national teacher was lying on the ground, his eyes were empty and his expression was numb. If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, he would have looked like a dead person.

Yun Yuhong opened the prison door, came to the national teacher and pushed him. The national teacher turned his eyes and looked at Yun Yuhong. The national teacher still remembers Yun Yuhong."

The national teacher was stunned when he heard the word Yun Yuhong, and looked at Yun Yuhong carefully before sitting up. "Why did the princess come here? This is a place of right and wrong. Don't stay long, the princess should leave quickly." But the expression on her face was no longer as peaceful as before, only mourning.

Yun Yuhong said: "These things cannot be finished in a few words, the national teacher should leave with me first."

"No need, thank you princess for your kindness. I'm a useless person, so I don't need to implicate the princess anymore."

Yun Yuhong lowered her voice and said: "Useless person, I'm afraid it may not be so. The Second Prince regards you as an opponent and is determined to put you to death. Don't you want to take revenge when your whole family is killed? Don't say anything about the time for retribution, Whether you pretend to be Buddha or mundane things in your heart, you know in your heart." After the national teacher heard Yun Yuhong's words, his eyes were no longer sorrowful, but filled with resentment.

Yun Yuhong continued: "I collected your family's corpses for you, and now they are waiting for you to bury them. If you want revenge, stand up and follow me." Then she turned around and left with a few people.

The national teacher stood up, looked at the backs of several people and thought for a while, and finally straightened his back and quickly followed up.

Outside, Yun Yuhong didn't leave immediately, but waited at the door. Seeing the national teacher chasing him, he asked the cheapskate to lead the national teacher, and they walked towards the back door.

The journey went smoothly, but they were still discovered when they climbed over the wall.Led by the second prince and the seventh princess, a large number of pursuers chased after them with torches lit.

The unlucky ghost said to Yun Yuhong: "Master Shaogu, you and the cheapskate lead the others and go first, and I will break up with the crybaby."

Yun Yuhong instructed to be careful, and took the people away first.She has no confidence in the kung fu of the two, but she is very confident in the poison of the crybaby.

The unlucky ghost had a rare chance to show off, so he laughed a few times, and said to the crybaby, "Give me two bottles of poison and let me play."

The crybaby touched his arms and said, "Let me do it, one bottle is enough."

The unlucky ghost went up and snatched a bottle, uncorked it and threw it towards the crowd, then pulled the crybaby and jumped down, chasing Yun Yuhong and the others away.
