little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 179 God of Plague
The road from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Palace of Qianqing is not too far, because Zhu Changluo had ordered before not to use guards of honor to startle people. Wang An checked his face, and he had already noticed that the prince had been a little distracted from the last court to the last court today. He looked thoughtful with a smile but not a smile, so he had an idea and led Zhu Changluo to Qianqing Palace along a small path.

The breeze was blowing on the face, and the fragrance of flowers brought warmth. Zhu Changluo walked along a path paved with cobblestones incomparably comfortably, feeling relaxed and happy.After passing through a nine-curved corridor, an elegant garden with winding paths leading to seclusion and deep flowers and trees suddenly appeared in front of you.

There was the sound of gurgling water in his ears, and Zhu Changluo was a little surprised when he was used to the majestic and majestic palaces lined up row by row. He stopped and took a look. There was a huge lotus pond with green spring water and fluttering lotus leaves.Leaning against the white jade railing and looking down, the koi carp gathered in the water saw a figure, and slapped their tails violently, disrupting a splash of water.

Suddenly my heart moved, I seemed to have some impressions of this place, as if I had been here before?He waved to Wang An: "Is this the Thousand Carp Pond?"

"Your Highness actually knows this place? Isn't it Zhengqianli Pond?" Wang An smiled with surprise in his eyes.

It turns out that this is the Thousand Carp Pond!No wonder there is such an indescribable sense of familiarity, is this the place where he came back from the dead... Thinking of that day in the 14th year of Wanli, Zhu Changluo inevitably had mixed feelings in his heart.

Zhu Changluo, who was out of mood, nodded, stopped pausing, and walked away. Wang An couldn't guess what the prince was thinking, so he hurriedly followed: "Passing this thousand carp pond and passing through the small forest in front is Donghua. door."

When walking through the woods, I saw the green branches and green leaves, and suddenly found a branch full of buds, Wanlu stood out from it, I couldn't help but take a second look, but it was only two, this place is very secluded, and the scenery is also very good , but after seeing the Thousand Carp Pond, Zhu Changluo has lost all interest.

Suddenly there was a sound of Xisu, and I saw a small body in the distance, carrying a small burden, coming here with a listless expression.

The smile on Zhu Changluo's face turned into astonishment... Why did Ah Man come here?
He wanted to show up to say hello, but suddenly had an idea, and hid without saying a word.

Ah Man was wearing a red-bottomed Tuanfu shirt, with a small bun in her hair just like on Longhu Mountain, and her small face became more and more white and tender. It was just that this usually eccentric child, at this moment, was a The face is peaceful and peaceful, and the deep and big black eyes are full of sadness.

Zhu Changluo, whose childlike innocence suddenly became apparent, quickly dodged and turned behind a tree.Wang An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stepped aside cleverly, secretly amused in his heart, if people find out that the dignified prince is actually playing hide-and-seek... If it gets out, will he laugh his ass off?
Ah Man put down the small bundle in his hands, his bunny face turned into a ball, looked around, pouted and muttered: "What a bad place, it's so difficult to find a quiet place, the place in the palace is so It’s big, but there are people there.” He stomped his feet angrily, and pouted his little mouth, “Hmph...that means the food here is good, otherwise the young master would have left long ago!”

Zhu Changluo almost laughed out loud, he really kept three words in his line of business, looking at the slightly protruding belly at such a young age, he doubted that Ah Man would continue to eat like this, he had better change his name to Ah Fatty.

After complaining, Ah Man turned around and opened the small bundle, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but stretched his head, and couldn't help but be surprised by this.

After a night of spring rain, the grass was lush and green, and Ah Man placed various things on the ground...a pair of white candles, a bunch of incense sticks, and a few small gold paper ingots folded awkwardly. There was also a small flagon.

Zhu Changluo held his breath and quietly watched what kind of monster Ah Man was going to do.

After arranging these things one by one, Ah Man's usual flying, cute and lively face was all restrained, and there were some vicissitudes of life on the outside. The candle was lit, the green incense was lit, and seeing Ah Man clasped his hands Even together, bowed down and worshiped three times, opened the pot of wine and sprinkled it on the ground, and incinerated the paper ingots.

The atmosphere of fireworks immediately alarmed Wang An who was hiding not far away. The number one taboo in the palace is fire. Wang An knew the rules, and glanced at Zhu Changluo uneasily, but saw that the other party shook his head slightly, and Wang An vomited. Tongue, I know there's nothing wrong with me here, so I'd better hide it honestly.

Seeing the flame turn from green to red, and from red to weak, Ah Man sighed: "Ah Man knows that you don't want money, you just want wine, but Brother Zhu and Senior Brother Song won't let me drink. I left it for you while they weren't paying attention, don't be disgusted, just take a sip, and when I get older, I'll give you a few jars every year."

It turned out that Ah Man was here to sacrifice someone, and Zhu Changluo couldn't help being annoyed and funny when he heard him say that he was shabby... Would you tell him if you want wine? As for stealing such a small pot?

"Forget you! I dreamed of you every day on the mountain. I thought it would be better if I went down the mountain, but you still found me. You found me again last night!" Ah Man's small face was a little angrily, "You Don't blame me, Senior Brother Ye forces me to say it every day, but I can't say it..." His big eyes were full of anxiety and sadness, and mist gradually floated up.

"Actually, I really like Big Brother Zhu. If it wasn't for this time, I wouldn't have forced Senior Brother Ye to come down to look for him."

"If you have a spirit in heaven, don't blame him, okay?"

"I think... I don't think he made such a cruel move on purpose, he must have missed it, right?"

Hidden behind the tree and watching him quietly, Zhu Changluo became more and more curious, who is this person who makes Ah Man so resentful?

Zhu Changluo was even more surprised that Ah Man said that he liked him behind his back.

This arrogant Ah Man, even when facing the high-ranking queen mother, he should put his face down when he is unhappy. He has never been nice to others, but he never thought that when he was carrying people behind his back, he would be so disrespectful to himself. He favored him more and looked at him differently, he couldn't help but feel a little flattered, and felt a little ashamed in his heart, he had always treated Ah Man like a child, thinking that he was greedy and fun, but he didn't expect that this child had such a serious concern.

"I said so much, did you agree?"

"People say that if you agree, let the cigarette go straight up."

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and the cigarettes that were originally going straight up suddenly became confused.

Ah Man, who looked hopeless, was suddenly very frustrated, stood up angrily, and kicked a stone in front of him fiercely.

However, his complexion had turned black, and tears rolled back and forth in his big eyes. It could be seen that Ah Man was already holding back with all his might, but in the end, teardrops dripped down one after another, hitting the grass rattle.

He stretched out his little hand and wiped his red eyes fiercely, rubbing them a few times, and said viciously: "That's all right, if you ask me to bring it, I will tell Brother Ye later! Brother Zhu is a good person, I can't look at it He died just like that, but you have to forgive me, I can't say anything else, okay?"

His tone became anxious and panicked, as if there was really a person in front of him who was talking with him face to face.

There was silence everywhere, no one answered him, and the cigarette was straight up.

"Ah, you finally agreed?" Ah Man showed a happy smile on his face: "I knew that you have been very good, and you will definitely agree to my solution."

Zhu Changluo, who watched all this quietly, only felt heavy and uncomfortable in his heart. What was it that made Ah Man so hard to talk about?It seems that it is not only related to Ye He, but also related to himself?Look at Aman's devout Heshi, muttering something in his mouth, as if he is praying for something.

Zhu Changluo shook his head, he didn't want to watch it for a minute, and planned to go out and have a good chat with this weird but heart-wrenching little guy.

Suddenly a gust of wind came from behind, and a hand was gently placed on his shoulder...

----

Today, in the prison cell of the Sanfa Division, a group of prisoners looked at a new criminal with sympathy who had just come in and was covered in blood like a dead dog.

When they heard that this person was transferred from the Jinyiwei Prison to be interrogated by the Third Division, many fellow prisoners expressed their sympathy loudly.

Some of the prisoners picked him up and carried him to lie down on a bed of rotten straw.

The guard in custody sneered: "Brothers are kind, do you know who he is?"

One of the prisoners, Zhou Guang, was sentenced to death for murder. Although the case was settled, the matter was not settled, because the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty was very strict, and death-row prisoners had to go through the joint trial of the three courts. Even if the death penalty is committed, the emperor must personally conduct a review of the death penalty before he can be executed on the spot. I have to say that Zhou Guang is a bit lucky.

Death row inmates have some privileges in the prison. Whether it is food or other treatment, they are much better than other criminals. Even the jailers seldom provoke them. After all, people are about to die. , If you die and come to seek revenge or something, then you will lose each other.

Others were afraid that these prison guards would encounter tigers and wolves, but Zhou Guang was not so afraid. He approached him with a smiley face and said, "Li Tou, why are you so fierce just after Chinese New Year? All the brothers who came in were troubled brothers. Everyone can help if they can."

Regarding Zhou Guang's words, the jailer Lao Li snorted through his nose: "Zhou Guang, you are a lucky person, it doesn't mean that everyone is as blessed as you!" : "Don't say that I, Lao Li, don't feel like saying hello to everyone. This person is different from you, so stay as far away as you can."

"This boss has confessed, and he will have to go to court tomorrow!"

This sentence aroused the curiosity of all the criminals, and a few familiar and bold ones immediately came up and said with a flattering smile: "Litou, you are the most righteous man in our prison, you are a man, what can you say to the big guy?" Let’s talk about it? Let everyone know which god this is?”

A few people around echoed, and Li Tou was flattered a few words, so he was a little flattered, and he said: "There is no way to kill you guys, if that's the case, I'll just talk to you a few more words."

"Don't say you can't touch it, and I, Lao Li, can't touch it. Let's go further..." The eyes of the prisoners followed Li Tou's outstretched hand and drew a big circle in the air.Then he lowered his voice, mysteriously and strangely: "Even our Minister of Punishment, Mr. Xiao, dare not touch it!"

"To tell you the truth, this person should stay far away, but this is a living plague god!"

Seeing Li Tou's exaggerated but serious expression, all the criminals' mouths opened like duck eggs...

Countless surprised eyes fell on the man lying on the ground moaning and wriggling.

　Happy Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day, everyone! ~
