debt repayment

I don't know which lady in pink died from the plague and was treated so mercilessly after death.

It looked good from a distance, but Song Huiming smelled a strong smell of corpses when the cart was pushed closer, in the cold night of late autumn.

It seems that the flesh and blood all over the body are festering, and even the bones are sickly. The stench is emitted from under the shroud with teeth and claws, overwhelmingly attacking all those who are close to it.

It was so rotten that the innermost shroud was probably already wet with the pus and blood of the corpse.

The stench was unbearable for the yamen servants pushing the carts, and they covered their noses with one hand, or covered their mouths and noses with cloth strips, so that they could continue walking in the stench.

Song Huiming was wearing fashionable casual clothes at this time. He was tall and handsome, and he was riding a sleek black horse. At first glance, he looked like a member of Meng Lang who came to the gentle village to find pleasure. When the yamen servant saw him, he said loudly: " Go back, go back! Close the street tonight! If you don’t leave, you will be arrested!”

The lowest-level yamen servant who runs around the streets and alleys in the capital every day has no chance of knowing his real identity.Song Huiming responded, pinched the horse's belly with his calf, and signaled the horse to go back.

That Ma Huiji seemed to be spiritually enlightened, and with a flick of his tail, he led him back.

Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, I heard the scream of the yamen servant from behind: "Ghost! Ghost! Help! Help!!!"

Song Huiming was shocked, looked back, and saw a cloud of black air suddenly appeared from the corpse, the black air entangled several yamen servants, pierced through their bodies, and the bloody air exploded.

Why did ghosts suddenly appear in Beijing? !

Song Huiming was terrified, but he didn't have time to think about it. The horse under his crotch had sensed the danger, screamed, and ran away.

Seeing him fleeing, the cloud of black air stretched out a ghost claw and chased after him. Before Song Huiming was so frightened that he lost his mind, he hurriedly took out a bell from his bosom.

As soon as the bell was taken out, it jingled and jingled continuously.

Seeing that the deadly ghost claw was about to hit the horse's butt, white light suddenly fell from the sky, tearing apart the autumn night.

"Your Highness, don't panic!"

The visitor speaks softly and shines a sword.

Song Huiming's horse was still running, so he could only shout bouncingly: "Master Immortal, thank you!"

The man sacrificed his sword, and the rain of swords fell rapidly, like catching a snake seven inches away, nailing the ghost's claws to the ground.

Hei Qi howled endlessly, he took another pocket, and said "Shut up" lightly, the black air rose from the ground like hot air from a steamer, and all of it was tightened into the pocket.

"Call-"

Song Huiming stopped his horse and rode back to the man.

"Master Immortal, what's going on here?"

"Your Majesty," the man was wearing velvet long-distance running, with delicate features, but he couldn't tell how old he was, and his features were detached and free, "I don't even know about this matter. It is really abnormal for this kind of filth to be born in Beijing. Pindao will go back to the palace now, report the matter to Xiansi, and inform His Majesty the next day to thoroughly investigate the matter. Please don't panic, Your Highness."

This person is the court monk who taught Song Huiming, his nominal master, Zhang Tianshui and Zhang Xianshi.

Zhang Tianshui was born in a small sect in the eastern part of the southern land, and his sect was not well-known. He didn't know where he got the blessings of eighteen generations of his ancestors to produce such a genius as Tianshui.Zhang Tianshui became a grand master at the age of [-], and his reputation spread across the South.He not only revitalized the sect, but was also appreciated by the mortal emperors. He was invited into the palace by Emperor Chang Tian and became the chief court monk. .

Song Huiming entered the meditation practice only to seek blessings and eliminate disasters. Tianshui protected him as a treasure, and even left him a life-saving bell. In case of any accident, he can ring the bell to save his life.

Song Huiming's status is noble, even if there is no monk by his side, he has lived for 22 years, thinking that he has never seen a pickled monster, and he still has lingering fears when he saw it's ferocity and frightening just now.

"Your Highness, go back quickly. This kind of filth will be handled by the poor."

Song Huiming nodded, after all he trusted Tianshui, thanked him and left.

But Tian Shui suddenly said: "Ah, this girl has something to say."

Song Huiming was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

"She."

Tian Shui shook the pocket in his hand.

"Ghosts also want to talk?"

Tian Shui smiled: "Your Majesty is not an introductory disciple after all, so naturally he doesn't know the secret method of immortal monks to detect the mysteries of yin and yang, every word of ghosts and gods, as long as the cultivation level is enough, they can break through one by one. This girl is just a formed The resentful ghost is not good enough, so how difficult is it for Pindao to understand her words?"

"Resentful ghost? Isn't this Yedu Niang who died of the plague? Could it be possible that the hundreds of thousands of victims of the plague in Beijing will turn into such monsters?"

Seeing Tian Shui staring at him with a kind of pity that he couldn't fathom, he said blankly, "Master Immortal, what's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness's fate is incomparable to others. It is both a good fate and a bad fate. His Majesty has always hoped that His Highness can assist Mingjun in the name of a virtuous minister. There are some things, His Highness should not know."

Song Huiming hated people talking about the fact that he was not the crown prince the most, he felt displeased, frowned and said: "Master Immortal, aren't you talking about a ghost, how can you talk about this?"

"Your Highness, let's put it this way, this grieving ghost is not the girl who died of the plague, but the ghost who leaned over Ye Du Niang. She said that her boudoir name is Ying Niang, and she is the little lady of the Zhou family. With depression in my heart, I turned into a grieving ghost and stayed in the mortal world to avenge my grievances."

"Zhou Mansion? Which Zhou Mansion?"

Tian Shui said: "The head of the family is the Zhou residence of Empress Guo's brother-in-law."

Song Huiming was shocked.

The little lady of the Zhou family has been dead for a month or two, why not only did she die strangely, but also turned into such a ghostly appearance?

"Master Immortal, is it possible to make a mistake?"

"Maybe, this wronged soul's words are groundless, and the poor Taoist will take him back to Xiansi, and interrogate and check it carefully before he can tell His Highness the truth."

"Master Immortal, can you not alarm Father about this matter of resenting ghosts?"

Song Huiming thought that Zhou's mansion had a close relationship with the empress and prince's family, and the water here might be a few feet deep, and he was afraid of scaring the snake, so he lost the opportunity to catch someone in vain.

"Reporting the matter of Mrs. Zhou to the emperor may not lead to a fair outcome."

What he said was true, the Son of Heaven always loved Empress Guo, and even treated Empress Guo very well.After all, anything that damages Queen Guo's reputation may eventually point the finger at the prince. The emperor has attached great importance to Song Hui'an for a long time, and he will not allow any situation that is unfavorable to the prince.

Prince, prince, the final question is all about the prince.If there is no such prince, if Song Hui'an is not the prince, the dragon chair and the extremely arrogant beauty can be obtained.

Thinking of this, Song Huiming twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled, an idea sprouted in his heart.

Perhaps in the past four years of imaginings, he has seen the shadow of this idea, but it is just a shadow. Today, with the right time and place, he suddenly has the opportunity to become a reality.

Whether to kill it or let it grow wildly, whether it is good or evil, whether it is joy or sorrow, is all in his mind.

He thought of the second steward Li of the Zhou mansion that he met during the day, and thought that the third steward Dou who had been missing for a hundred days had returned safely was also very strange, so he said: "Master Immortal, I have something to ask."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"If the immortal master interrogates the wronged souls, and has time to help the disciple investigate the affairs of the third steward of Zhou Mansion Dou, the disciple will be very grateful."

In a few words, Song Huiming told Tianshui Ting that the third housekeeper Dou of the Zhou Mansion had saved himself from danger.

Zhang Tianshui squinted his eyes and smiled, "Does Your Highness want to investigate this matter by himself?"

"This king is the body of a prince, the eldest son of the emperor, why doesn't he have the right to investigate and deal with this matter? Naturally, this king has to figure out why this ghost attacked this king."

"Poverty understands," Tian Shui said with a smile, "It seems that His Highness has already made a choice about his fate."

Song Huiming's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know what he had seen through, and asked suspiciously, "What does the immortal master mean?"

"Your Highness is the real ninety-five body."

"……how do I say this?"

"Everyone in the world knows that when the crown prince was born, there were auspicious omens in the sky, and the sky was filled with red clouds. However, when the prince was born, there was no abnormality, but it was invisible to the naked eye. When the prince was born, there was purple air surrounding him, which is the real majesty of the emperor. , the omen of His Highness being occupied when he was young is that the purple energy will eventually dissipate, thus threatening His Highness's life. Your Highness followed Pindao when he was young, and what Pindao did was to keep His Highness' purple energy and your life. Now that His Highness is an adult, there is no need to worry about his life, but this purple air..."

Song Huiming seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights, and he didn't really believe his nonsense.

"Why?"

"The purple is a bit black," Tian Shui chuckled, "The appearance of Qi is a sign of fate. Now Your Highness's Purple Qi is unstable, and the ominous luck is uncertain. But Purple Qi is purple Qi after all, and it can deter demons and ghosts. This black energy is chasing you, but it has never hurt you. It is Ziqi who is protecting you. Ziqi has been the aura of emperors since ancient times, and it cannot be inherited by ministers. I have a premonition that if His Highness insists on his own opinion, he will investigate in private. With the matter of Zhou Mansion, His Highness will no longer be His Highness today."

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed in the air, and there was a bang, which made people's scalp numb.Song Huiming looked at the thunder still lingering in the clouds, and felt a wave of shock in his heart.

"Of course, even though Pindao is a cultivator of immortals, he should not miss out on all the secrets. If His Highness has no heart to reform and is willing to be an idle prince, please regard what Pindao said as false and forget it quickly."

He spoke lightly, spit out the word "reform" easily, if there were virtuous officials and loyal officials present, they would definitely point to his nose and yell at the traitors.

The "Idle Prince" was obviously taken aback by his blunt statement.

"Immortal Master, this king is pursuing this matter in order not to disturb the justice and is absolutely selfless. After all, the immortal master is used to being carefree and can't speak. This king thinks of the kindness of the immortal master's teaching, so he shows affection. This kind of rebellious I also ask the immortal master not to mention it in front of others."

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness"

Tian Shui smiled, but turned around and disappeared out of thin air.

"Within ten days, Pindao will find out the matter of resenting the ghost. At that time, His Royal Highness is invited to come to Pindao's small temple in person, and let Pindao tell His Highness the ins and outs of this matter. If His Highness changes his mind, don't pursue it anymore, and wait until ten days later When it was Haishi, His Highness still did not come to see Pindao, so Pindao reported the matter to His Majesty in a communiqué."

Song Huiming recalled Tianshui's words, and the waves in his heart became more and more surging.
