Chapter 14 Jin Wuwei

The Jinwu is in charge of law and order in the streets of Kyoto, and most of the people who arrest people in the judicial offices on weekdays are the Jinwu Guards.At this moment, a few Jinwu guards came from the shop in the northwest corner of Guangzhaifang aggressively, only Pei Liangchun knew it well, others including Nanshan were a little bit astonished.

When everyone came back to their senses, Jin Wuwei had already dismounted and arrested Nanshan. Several strong and strong men restrained her in front of a large audience. They escorted Nanshan to leave without even explaining the reason for arresting her.Shen Fengge seemed to understand the reason behind this, he glanced coolly at Pei Liangchun who was calm as usual, and continued to drink his ebony drink.

As the head of the Taiwan officials, in the eyes of outsiders, he and Nanshan are no more than a nod of friendship, if he shows up at this time, it will cause trouble.

Naturally, Pei Liangchun would not speak out, and Xu Miaowen pretended not to see anything at this time because he had some ghosts in his mind.Several adults continued to eat and drink calmly. On the contrary, only Little Sixteen Niang put down her chopsticks and stood up abruptly, full of sense of justice, she said coolly: "Don't the Jinwu Guards even need to give a reason for arresting people?! Why did you arrest my sister?"

The Jinwu Guard obviously didn't take this child seriously, and left without saying a word, besieging Nanshan.Nanshan glanced at the people in the shop, without any resistance, he let the Jinwu soldiers escort him away without saying a word.

Little Liu Niang died of panic for a moment, she ran out of the shop and yelled loudly: "My sister is a good person! Why did you arrest my sister?!"

But Jin Wuwei walked faster than anyone else, how could Liu Niang hold back.She yelled anxiously for a long time, but only the people in the nearby shop poked their heads out to look at her, mostly in a state of nothing to do with her.

It is not uncommon for the Jinwu Guard to arrest people. Over the years, many people have been arrested for no reason.Often, as long as one is informed by the inner guard or reported by others, one is very likely to be arrested.Therefore, people at most have a little sympathy for the poor girl on the street who is complaining, and no one will give a helping hand.

Xiaoliu Niang had heard Grandpa talk about the indifference of the world earlier, but today was the first time she experienced it personally.She stopped shouting, and stood dumbfounded, a little blinded by the scorching sun.Occasionally, a horse galloped past her and almost hit her, but the little girl kept looking at the end of the street, as if her sister Nanshan would turn back soon.

Xu Miaowen couldn't stand it anymore, turned his head and shouted: "That kid, come back!"

Little Liuniang didn't hear him calling, so Xu Miaowen stood up abruptly, went outside, hugged Little Liuniang back, put her in front of the short table, and said, "Whose child are you? Is it your sister?"

Little Liuniang came back to her senses, looked at Xu Miaowen coldly, and didn't speak.

Xu Miaowen was afraid of her eyes, and quickly explained: "I didn't mean anything malicious, nor was I curious. It's just you, a child, who came out with the Southern media official, and now she was arrested again. How are you going to go back alone? Woolen cloth?"

Little Liuniang's ability to recognize the way was very poor, she immediately gave in, looked at Xu Miaowen, then carefully glanced at Shen Fengge, who had nothing to do with her, and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't send me off... I can ask for directions. go back……"

Shen Fengge got up after drinking the ebony plum: "It's time to go back to the Yamen."

Pei Liangchun quickly followed suit and stood up, Xu Miaowen hurriedly yelled: "Is the host not caring about this little girl?"

Shen Fengge frowned suspiciously: "Why do you want to control her? Does she have anything to do with me?"

Xu Miaowen almost blurted out "This is your daughter, you don't care who cares", but he still said rationally: "It's obvious that this little girl is here for the host, and the Southern Media official probably came here to see the host? So the host should do a good job and send her back."

"No time." Shen Fengge said coldly.

Xu Miaowen snorted, turned around and left, simply ignored this matter, Shen Fengge could really leave the little girl in this shop?
But he didn't expect at all that Shen Fengge would leave immediately, and he didn't care about Xiaoliu Niang.Xu Miaowen walked on the road and looked back, feeling a little unbearable, when he was about to turn back, unexpectedly, Shen Fengge returned to the shop first.

Shen Fengge looked down at the little milk baby from a high position: "Whose family are you from?"

The little girl looked up at him, and said, "I am - I am from the Grand Master's residence."

"Teacher Yuan?" Pei Liangchun asked her back.

The little girl nodded.

We all know that Grand Master Yuan and Shen Fengge are at odds, it seems that this game is over, and Xiaoliu Niang probably can only sit here and wait for it to get dark.Unexpectedly, Shen Fengge said: "Take you to the yamen first, and someone will send you back to the Grand Master's Mansion later, okay?" Although the words were always cold, there was a touch of warmth in the end.

Little Liuniang then stood up and followed the two adults in official uniforms to the yamen.Pass through the Jingfeng Gate, pass the Zuozang Waikuyuan, the Shaofu Supervisor, the South Court of the Ministry of Rites, and the Selection Court of the Ministry of Officials... and continue to move forward.The little girl walked quickly with her short legs, her brow was sweating, and she was panting from exhaustion, but the two adults in front didn't show any intention of pulling her.

It wasn't until we turned south into Chengtianmen Street, passed by the right leading army guard, saw Zongzheng Temple, and then went forward to arrive at Yushitai, which is in a dangerous terrain and has extremely poor geomantic omen.

The little girl stood still at the door, slightly overwhelmed by Yu Shitai's usual cold face and murderous spirit.The priest of Yushitai, who was passing by on errands, glanced at her coldly, without any human touch.Little Liuniang seemed a little nervous. Seeing Shen Fengge enter the door to go to the public room, she was about to follow inside, but was stopped by Pei Liangchun.

Pei Liangchun seldom said softly: "The host's public house is not entered at will, can you wait in the public house over there?"

Little Liuniang looked at him alertly and nodded.Pei Liangchun then took the little girl into the west side of the public room. At this time, the curtains of the public room were all rolled up, and there was a cool breeze blowing in, which was quite pleasant.Several petty officials were sitting behind the student case and working. When they saw a child coming, they remained indifferent and continued to work.Although on the surface they all look "out of curiosity", they are almost going crazy in their hearts.

"It's the daughter of the host's family!" "That's right, it must be the illegitimate daughter of the host's family." "It looks so similar!" "My God, did the host bring his illegitimate daughter to work?" "Taiwan The Lord actually had a woman... even a daughter..." If the Yushitai public house allowed gossip, there would be a crazy discussion at this time.

But a chilling wind came in, and apart from the sound of bells hanging from the corner of the eaves outside, there was only the sound of turning pages and writing, and there was no one speaking in the public house.

Little Liuniang really wanted to find someone to ask about the matter, but she knew almost nothing about the judiciary.In her conception, even the imperial court can't arrest people casually. If there is no name, can they find someone to rescue her sister?She sat quietly and obediently in the corner, but the surrounding officials were muttering wildly in their hearts.

"The host's daughter is so obedient!" "How could she be born by the host if she is so cute and cute?" "Oh my God, the eyes look a bit like the host's, so cool." "The hair is so soft that I want to rub it ""The eyes are beautiful!" and so on.

The censor officials spent a very inefficient morning like this, and finally made it to lunch time, a group of people went to the public kitchen in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but look back at Xiaoliu who was still in the public room mother.

Seeing that everyone was gone, little Liuniang was about to stand up when Pei Liangchun walked in.Pei Liangchun said: "Is Liu Niang hungry?"

Sixteen Niang nodded.

"How about taking you to the public kitchen for dinner?"

Sixteen Niang knew she was living under the fence, so she nodded silently.

Taking advantage of no one around, Pei Liangchun asked again: "Is Liuniang's grandfather General Yuan?"

Sixteen Niang nodded again, but she was already suspicious.What was this man doing to find out who her father was?She immediately became a little more alert to Pei Liangchun, so that when Pei Liangchun asked her questions such as "When was Liu Niang born" and "When was her birthday?" Be like a little fool.

Unknowingly, he had already reached the kitchen of Yushitai, so Pei Liangchun gave up asking, took her in and arranged for her to sit down.The little girl raised her head, only then did she see Shen Fengge who had already arrived at the public kitchen.

Shen Fengge sat at the top, and at the bottom sat the officials of Yushitai in a regular manner.Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, each yamen has established its own public kitchen to provide meals for office officials.Because there is no unified regulation, the styles of public kitchens in different yamen are quite different.

For example, in Dali Temple, laws and regulations are written all over the walls of the place where you eat, so that people don’t forget to consolidate their professional knowledge when they eat; while the public chef of Yushitai is notoriously serious and cold, and a group of people sit in a good manner. , before eating, we have to wait for the lecturer to speak, and after the lecture is over, the officials will briefly report on the work results in the morning, and then we can move our chopsticks, and we are not allowed to whisper during the meal, we are not allowed to leave the table, and we are not allowed to laugh. Everyone can only keep a straight face .

The depressing lunch was a torment for the stage officials, but Xiaoliu Niang, who was here for the first time, found it interesting.Interesting is interesting, after all, she has something in her heart, so after eating a meal, her face is still slumped.

You have to go back and tell your grandfather quickly, so that you can rescue Sister Nan, right?
The officials at Yushitai were almost gone, and Little Liuniang stood at the door and waited eagerly. When she saw Shen Fengge coming out, she immediately raised her head and said cautiously: "Can you send me back?"

Shen Fengge directly walked around her and walked forward, the little girl "tat-tat-tat" followed quickly, and when she was about to complain, Shen Fengge suddenly stopped.The little girl looked up, huh?Have a car!
Shen Fengge turned his head to look at her, and always said coldly: "Do you want to go back now?"

The little girl nodded sharply.

So Shen Fengge carried her into the car, and then got into the car as well, the little girl asked in astonishment: "Will the master send me back?"

Shen Fengge ignored her.He has something to go to Wannian County, and since he is on the way, he will take Sixteen Niang back.

Little Liu Niang didn't get a response, so she nestled in the corner and stayed by herself. She was sleepy after eating a full lunch, her head was shaking up and down like a chicken pecking at rice, but she didn't dare to sleep, so she just woke up again after knocking down. Sit upright.

Shen Fengge tilted his head to look at her face, pursed his lips subconsciously, and actually asked the same question as Pei Liangchun: "Is your grandfather really General Yuan?"

Sixteen Niang was about to fall asleep, when she heard Shen Fengge's question, she suddenly regained her spirits, sat up straight, raised her hand and rubbed her head, her posture was very much like Nanshan.

"Am I not like my father? Why do you ask me that?" She turned her head away and looked at Shen Fengge a little strangely.

Shen Fengge thought in his heart that it was indeed not like it, it was too unlike it.

Master Yuan has an indescribable face, and his son, General Yuan, also has an indescribable face. Strictly speaking, how could such a daughter be born?

"It's not like." Shen Fengge said truthfully.

"It doesn't look like it's my grandpa." Little Liuniang said firmly.

"Has anyone else asked you?"

"Yes!" Sixteen Niang quickly thought of Pei Liangchun's face, "The one who drank buttermilk in the shop this morning."

Pei Liangchun has always had ulterior motives, could it be that this time he wants to bring down him with the help of a little girl?Shen Fengge gently smoothed the folds of his clothes, and said to the innocent little Liuniang: "Don't say irrelevant things to people you don't know, remember?"

Sixteen Niang blinked, lowered her head, scratched her nose and said, "I didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything when he asked me about my birthday."

Shen Fengge pressed her head for the first time: "You did a good job."

After being praised by the great hero, Sixteen Niang couldn't help shrinking her head. She was somewhat afraid of Shen Fengge, and she was a little disappointed with Shen Fengge's actions today.Sister Nanshan was taken away indiscriminately, and this uncle, the host, hangs up high with nothing to do with him from the beginning to the end. It seems that the hero who can fly over the roof and wall is also very cold-blooded.

She curled her lips, nestling in the corner, no longer sleepy.And Shen Fengge didn't ask her any more questions, so the elder and the younger went to Wannian County in silence.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the county house. Shen Fengge opened the curtain and was about to get out of the car. The little girl suddenly stopped him and said cautiously: "I...can I just come down here? My uncle is here. It may be difficult for him to take me back. Better……"

She knew how to avoid it at such a young age, because she heard that Shen Fengge had a bad relationship with her family, so she refused to let Shen Fengge send her back, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Uncle?" Shen Fengge slightly raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"Yes, Uncle Pei." Because the Pei family and Grand Master Yuan's family have always been close, although Liuniang is not familiar with Pei Qu, her grandfather said that she can treat Pei Qu as her own family, so it is not too much for her to call him uncle, " My Uncle Pei is a county lieutenant here, and Uncle Pei is also very powerful."

Shen Fengge didn't comment on the evaluation of "very powerful", he just stretched out his arms to lift little Sixteen Niang out of the car, adjusted his clothes, ignored the little oil bottle, and walked straight away. Go to the office.

The officials over there have already rushed to tell Pei Guangben that someone has come from Yushitai.Censor's visit is never a good thing, Pei Guangben slapped his forehead, nervously recalled his recent actions quickly, and finally thought that he didn't seem to have done anything excessive except "swearing Pei Qu", so he put it down Feel free to go out of the public house to meet Shen Fengge.

Shen Fengge accepted the old man's etiquette greeting, entered the public room and said, "Isn't Shaofu Pei here?"

Pei Guangben heard the words and immediately said to the officials guarding outside the window: "Quickly, let Shaofu Pei come over."

Not long after Pei Qu came back from the outside, Zheng Cong, the secretary of the provincial school, pestered him to ask this and that. He had long wanted to find an excuse to leave, but when the officials came to look for him, he logically escaped.

He walked outside the public room, and he could hear the accounts being discussed inside. Just as he was about to go in, a small figure rushed over, hugged his leg tightly and said, "Uncle Pei, sister Nanshan was arrested by the Jinwu Guards." gone!"

Shen Fengge heard the voice outside, without turning his head, he continued to discuss business with Pei Guangben.But Pei Guangben couldn't sit still, what happened if Nanshan was taken away? !He was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to sit in front of the host with a cold face, and he couldn't act rashly.

At this moment, little Liuniang hugged Pei Qu tightly, and began to cry exaggeratedly: "What about Sister Nanshan? Wuwuwu, sister Nanshan is so pitiful, Jin Wuwei is so bad, they will beat sister Nanshan, wuwuwu. "

Shen Fengge glanced back at this time, and said through the sparse bead curtain: "Young mansion Pei will finish his private affairs before coming in, don't worry."

Pei Qu raised his head, and after their eyes made brief contact, Shen Fengge turned his head back again.

The two had an inexplicable tacit understanding at some point.Pei Qu immediately understood that he didn't want to be a drunkard at all when he came here today, and the county account issue that he and Pei Guangben discussed just now was not worth his visit at all.

Nanshan's arrest was the real thing he wanted to talk about.

Pei Qu took Little Sixteen Niang aside, knelt down and wiped her snot and tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Speak up, don't worry."

Seeing that Uncle Pei realized the seriousness of the problem, Xiaoliu Niang immediately stopped crying, explained the matter calmly and clearly, and emphasized: "They have no reason to arrest people. Uncle, can you quickly rescue Sister Nanshan?"

Pei Qu was also very calm after hearing this, these things no longer frightened him.

He patiently wiped away the tears and snot from the little girl's face, and told someone to find time to send her back. Then he went back to Pei Guangben's private room, and said through the curtain, "I wonder if the station master is looking for an official?"

Shen Fengge said empathetically: "It's enough for me to tell Pei Mingfu, if you have something to do, go and do it."

Pei Guangben was also very worried about Nanshan's safety at this time, so he waved his hand to let Pei Qu out quickly.

Pei Qu led his horse away from the county house, and not long after, Shen Fengge also stood up, and said to Pei Guangben solemnly: "I hope that Pei Ming's government will pay attention to this matter. , I will not be as merciful as this time."

Pei Guangben nodded again and again, Shen Fengge left the county house expressionlessly.Only Pei Guangben, Xiao Liuniang, and Zheng Cong, the secretary of the provincial school, were left outside the public house.

Zheng Cong was the new Jinshi who played chess with Cui Xiaoshujia that day. Today he came to ask Pei Qu some business matters. After Pei Qu finished answering, he started to ask about personal matters again. The question was actually about the relationship between Pei Qu and Nanshan. .Because the school clerk probably liked Nanshan very much, so he went to her house, but was told by Feng Niang and her neighbors that she should ask Pei Shaofu in Wannian County for everything, and that's how today's incident came about.

Who is Pei Qu? !Why should I ask him about Nanshan?The proud Xinke Jinshi felt very angry and puzzled.At this moment, he was staring at Little Sixteen Niang who was wiping her face carefully, and the more he looked at her, the more familiar her features became.

Like who?A light flashed in his mind, like Pei Qu!
The very curious Zheng Xiaoshu stared at the little girl. He remembered seeing the little girl hugging Pei Qu's thigh and crying loudly in the other side of the public house just now, and suddenly had a guess in his heart, so he moved closer and asked softly: Which family's child?"

Xiaoliu Niang was asked this question many times today, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart.She gave Zheng Cong a cold look, and pursed her lips.

Zheng Cong then moved closer, and asked mysteriously, "Is it the daughter of Shaofu Pei?"

Xiaoliu Niang frowned suddenly, and replied coldly: "No! Sister Nanshan is!" She felt that Uncle Pei took care of Sister Nanshan last night like a grandpa taking care of his daughter, and he even went to make and deliver medicine himself!
"what?"

Little Liuniang continued to talk nonsense: "Sister Nanshan is like Uncle Pei's daughter! I am not!"

"He - they are only eight, no, nine years old! How can they be father and daughter!" Zheng Cong and a little girl were so anxious.

"Huh." Naive!Little Liuniang said bluntly, "In this world, father and son, father and daughter must be biological? It's okay to have father and son, father and daughter."

Zheng Cong obviously underestimated the little boy next to him, and for a moment didn't know whether to swallow this fact or find a way to refute it.

Just at this time, Pei Guangben took the little girl aside, forbidding her to continue talking nonsense, and ordered her to be sent back to the Grand Master's residence immediately.

Little Liu Niang had a very unhappy day, and when she returned to the mansion, she lay down on the bed and thought about her thoughts, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

There was already a drum beating on the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace, and the sound of the drum resounded throughout the palace city, and the street drums on the streets of Chang'an City also gradually sounded, knocking the sun down the mountain without haste.At this time, Pei Qu was led by his servants to the Yanying Hall, and on the way he met a small man, who was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and looked very much like his father—Wu Wang.

Long time no see, Pei Qu thought calmly.

He climbed up the steps, and when he reached the gate of the palace, he was announced by the servant, and he was allowed to enter only after he got a response.At this time, only a few candlesticks were lit in the Yanying Hall, and the light and atmosphere were very deep. At this moment, the ruler of the empire was sitting in front of a chess game, as if he was waiting for his arrival.

Pei Qu bowed to the ground and saluted, and got up after finishing the salute, standing up straight calmly.

His Majesty narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Come here."

Pei Qu then moved closer.

"Come a little more, head down."

Pei Qu did as he said, at this moment his face was very close to the Holy Majesty.He suddenly said, "Is Your Majesty planning to slap you? Please don't hit the right side."

Before he said this, the Holy Majesty's hand was about to move, but now it gradually tightened, and he smiled slightly: "Will I get any benefit from hitting you?"

Hearing this, Pei Qu did not straighten up, but maintained this very difficult posture of bending over steadily, and responded to his monarch lightly: "Going back to Your Majesty, there are benefits, and I heard that it can relieve anger."

His Majesty's eyes narrowed again. To be honest, he really wanted to give this slap nine years ago, but it's really boring for him to bear it until now.He quickly changed his calm face, put his hands lazily on the chessboard, and said: "Someone reported to me that the Pei family hid Li Chongwang's little granddaughter nine years ago, but then immediately separated himself from this matter." Do you want to guess who it is?"

Pei Qu immediately thought it was Pei Liangchun, but he just said: "It doesn't matter to me who the whistleblower is, the important thing is that your Majesty knows what I did back then." He still maintained his original posture, Then he said, "Could it be that your majesty wanted to ask the teacher for the crime because he suddenly remembered that the child was Chaoge?"

The light in Yanying Hall was getting darker and darker, and the candlesticks seemed to be useless at all, and all of them were dimly lit, listless.There was not a single servant around, so quiet that one could even hear breathing.

What Pei Qu said was not fabricated out of thin air. Although the fact that the Pei family took in the orphan girl was not well known to everyone, it could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Holy Majesty.And because he came back from Huainan at that time, the identity of the little girl was even more doubtful.

Naturally, the suspicious emperor would not let go of doubts so easily, but he did not completely reveal the truth after finding out the truth. Instead, he was promoted to Pei Qu's official rank and asked him to stay in Fanbang Xiaoguo.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this means dishonesty and exile, and the reason is nothing more than "Pei Qu was too close to the kings before. Although no real evidence of treason has been found, a lesson must be taught."

In fact, Chaoge could have been favorable evidence that "Pei Qu had two minds", but the Holy One did not hold on to this point, but acquiesced to the existence of Chaoge, and exiled Pei Qu in disguise.

Pei Qu went to the country and left home, and Chaoge's whereabouts were unknown. This was the follow-up that most of the insiders knew at the time.So for many years thereafter, there seemed to be no little girl named Chao Ge in the world.

But at this time, Pei Liangchun revealed the matter and reported it in a very bad manner.The Holy Majesty, in accordance with his wishes, arrested Nanshan, as if he was about to interrogate and did not intend to let him go.

After staying on the emperor's throne for a long time, acting has become a matter of ease.It's just that acting like this today is not only a slap in the face, but also meaningless. Why do you have to put on a posture of provoking a teacher when you know something well?Because the sage was sure that Pei Qu would come to find him when he heard the news.

Oops, it seems like he hasn't had a chat with him in a long time.Then the Holy One took his words and replied: "I'm getting old, isn't it common that I can't remember the past clearly? What's more, I didn't care about it back then, but now I can't care about it?"

"'If you have the ability to go to a small foreign country and stay for three or five years, I don't care about anything', isn't that what your majesty said?" Pei Qu didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, "if your majesty's memory is not as good as it used to be, I will do my duty Responsibly remind Your Majesty." As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve pocket.

What was written on the cloth was the absurd "agreement between the monarch and his ministers" nine years ago. Strictly speaking, it was impossible to count, but Pei Qu took it out seriously and took it as "ironclad evidence" to protect himself. It can be seen that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers There seems to be some subtle relationship between them.

Whether it was before or after the kings rebelled, no matter what Pei Qu did, the Holy One always seemed to love and hate him.Even if it is obvious, hatred can also be put on the bright side, so the relationship between the monarch and his ministers has become very strange-while hanging up his answer sheet to show off the beauty of the great country, and at the same time hating him so much that he was kicked out to let him go. He suffered.

However, Pei Qu is invulnerable to many things, and because he is not afraid of death now, his confidence is exaggerated.

The monarch and his ministers confronted each other for a long time because of this piece of cloth, and the Holy Majesty confirmed that he is really a guy who is not afraid of death, so he stopped going around in circles and said straightforwardly: "Hand over the imperial seal, and I won't care about anything."

"There is no imperial seal." Someone Pei said firmly.

"Fart, the Imperial Seal is with you." The Holy Majesty scolded Pei Qu who opened his eyes and told nonsense.

"The Imperial Seal is in His Majesty's own hands, how can I have it?"

"Pretend to be confused, I'm not talking about the national seal." The scolding war is always unscrupulous, and the Holy Majesty once again emphasized, "Hand it over!"

Pei Qu didn't reply immediately, and remained silent in an upright manner.

The matter of the national seal begins with the seizure of the throne by the Holy Majesty.That year he won the throne and was about to ascend the throne, but the national seal disappeared. "Ordered by the heavens, life will last forever" - the imperial power is bestowed by the gods, which emphasizes orthodoxy and legality. For the king of a country, the importance of the national seal is self-evident.However, since the enthronement ceremony was imminent, craftsmen had to be asked to remake the national seal.Afterwards, although the succession to the throne was relatively smooth, the whole country sometimes said that the succession was not right, and most of the reasons were on the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.

Later, all kinds of conspiracies, especially the time when the kings conspired together, even claimed that "the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is in hand", so they wanted to support the orthodox and control evil.But as the kings rebelled and were suppressed, there was no whereabouts of the national seal.

Probably because of getting older, the Holy Majesty's obsession with the so-called Jade Seal of the Kingdom has actually deepened.He was rarely affirmed in his life. Although he used power to suppress all speeches, what happened after his death?When a hero is late, he will also have unavoidable concerns. It seems that if he doesn't have that jade seal in his hand and hasn't used it once before his death, he can't be regarded as a real emperor.

Pei Qu could understand the stubborn mind of an old man, but after he pursed his lips and remained silent, he poured cold water on him: "The Jade Seal of Chuan Guo may have long since disappeared, and it is just a joke. Since other people can make it, Your Majesty It can also be made. The national seal is just a dead thing, does it really have anything to do with the destiny?"

The corner of Shengshang's lips moved slightly, it was hard to tell others about the feeling in his heart.He didn't understand the loneliness of the Ninth Five Lord until he sat in this position.

He used to be very open-minded, but the older he got, the more and more things he couldn't figure out. Because of the gradual decline of his body, he gradually felt powerless and out of control, which made his aura of dominance in the early years fade away. Little, but now he is also worried.

"You always talk the most nonsense, stuff all these words back into your stomach, and handing over the imperial seal is the real business!" The Holy Majesty said impatiently.

"Not to mention that the Imperial Seal is not with the minister, even if it is with the minister, why force the minister to hand it over like this? Don't your majesty have many methods?"

He spoke more and more wantonly, but the Holy One couldn't do anything to him at all.

Although checks and balances inevitably exist during the chess game, most of the time there are active and passive players.Obviously, Pei Qu had the upper hand in this game.Because he is not afraid of death, even if he is tortured, according to his temperament, he will never be able to explain the whereabouts of the national seal; and if he wants to use Nanshan to threaten him, then this beast will definitely say: "Since your majesty is sure that the national seal is here, you must If you use Chao Ge's life to force you, just try it. Your Majesty dares to hurt Chao Ge's hair, and I will immediately destroy the National Seal." When you meet a guy who loves to burn jade and stone, no matter how good chess is, it will be useless.

Throwing rats.The Holy Majesty learned his true thoughts today, and became more and more certain that he knew the whereabouts of the Great Seal.

In the eyes of the Holy Master, Nanshan is just a useless chess piece at this moment. He slowly put down a chess piece in his hand that he has been playing for a long time. Seeing that Pei Qu was still standing bent over in his original posture, he took a quiet breath.

The evil spirit that was trying to be suppressed in the eyebrows and eyes was really... very similar to her, was it because of the same surname Pei?

Pei Qu stood calmly, and he didn't seem to feel that this posture was strenuous at all. He was always like this. He had a unique talent in confrontation, and he never got tired or tired.

But the Holy Majesty and Pei Qu had been in a stalemate for so long, and it was time to take the medicine, so they couldn't hold on anymore.

But he didn't intend to let him go so easily, and said in a cold and vicious way: "I have already interrogated that little girl before you came, and the child is really pitiful. But I think the more pitiful one seems to be It's you."

The corners of his lips were cold, and his smile became more and more obvious.In fact, he laughed like this after learning that Nanshan couldn't taste the food, but saying this in front of Pei Qu at this time seemed to relieve his anger, so he laughed even more viciously.

Pei Qu felt the malice from that voice, put the cloth with the "covenant between monarch and minister" into his sleeve pocket, took a step back, and bowed: "It's getting late, Rong Chen will leave."

The Holy Majesty suppressed the surge of blood in his chest, and let him leave with a blunt "Get lost".

Because it was getting late, Pei Qu left Danfeng Gate and had to stay in Guangzhai Temple.He was thinking about Nanshan in his heart, but he had no plans to visit Jinwupu in the northwest corner of Guangzhaifang, even though he knew that Nanshan was probably there now.

Concern leads to chaos. Under the current situation, insisting on getting close to her may be counterproductive.He thought about it calmly, all the previous things were just because he didn't want her to be hurt again.If he couldn't do this, how could he act in disregard of her thoughts and wishes?
In the middle of the night, the cool wind poured into the corridor of Guangzhai Temple, relieved the heat of the day, the sky was pitch black, the stars and the moon could not be seen, and it seemed that it was going to rain again.The sound of bells hanging in the corner of the eaves is pleasant to the ear, and "ding ding dong dong" rang one after another, as if driving away souls who had nowhere to return in the middle of the night.

The huge Xijing, and even the entire country, under this scene of Haiyan and Heqing, killings are everywhere and never stop.

Few people knew about Nanshan being arrested.Feng Niang just muttered a few words of worry, and the media officials in the yamen only said: "The Southern media officials are really busy. It must be very tiring to talk to the host." The neighbor lady said ambiguously: " Did you go to live at Pei Langjun's house?" In short, the world is peaceful, and Nanshan is unscathed.

But she knew in her heart that it might just be the beginning.Standing under the sun, she sometimes thinks to herself, is there no king in the world, as long as she breathes and lives here, her life and future will always be in the hands of others.Although she has no shackles on her hands and feet, she has never been free in these years.

The sun showed its face for a while and then slowly hid behind the clouds. There was a gloomy scene between the sky and the earth, and there was a cool wind wrapped in a monster wind, coming from the southeast.The sound of cicadas gradually died down, gnats, mosquitoes, flies and insects flew low and wildly, carps under the water in the mountain pavilion were protruding and spitting bubbles, and the slender willow branches swayed uncontrollably with the wind. It was the ten-day holiday, but there was no one in the old Pei family house nor.

The weather was so hot that the whole family went to another courtyard to escape the summer heat, while Pei Qu walked slowly past the mountain pavilion before continuing north.The old house of the Pei family was built many years ago. At that time, Pei Qu and even Pei Jin'an were not born. The house has been expanded and remodeled many times, and there are countless secrets. The northwest corner has become a taboo for the family.

There is a deep well in the northwest corner. People have died, and because of the terrain, it is cold and cold all the year round, which is very frightening.The children of the Pei family have been told since childhood that there are ghosts haunting that place, and if they get close to the deep well, they may be dragged down by the drowning ghost.

Therefore, the northwest corner has been neglected so far, and few people visit it.There is a small building in the northwest corner. Pei Qu went there once when he was a child, but his father beat him up when he knew about it, and he never set foot in it again.Today there was no one at home, so he walked to the small building without hindrance, stepped on the wooden steps, walked to the door, and unlocked it lightly and deftly.
