Dreams in Paradise

Everyone hurriedly lifted him up and put him on the bed.

Ziluo was terrified and hurriedly removed the screen.

Yingxin and Yingyu took turns looking after him.

Wang Huohuo was so anxious that he couldn't get in outside the Red Silk Hall.

Xie Shouyu had already gone back to Jincheng to tell the emperor about this sudden change.The people sent by the emperor also waited at the gate of Xiajin City and never returned.

Shan Lingyu was imprisoned in Yewang's dungeon.

Caiwei and Changtian led people to patrol every corner of Xiajin City every day, and when they caught a person sent by the prime minister's mansion, they killed him on the spot.

Liu Shui still didn't eat or drink, didn't cry or laugh, and didn't even blink his eyes.

Ying Xin grudgingly poured him some soup and water.

Qin Yingying said: "Young master, if you don't eat, how can you have the strength to cut off Shan Lingyu's flesh to avenge the city lord? The city lord died inexplicably, but Shan Lingyu is still alive, I wish I could tear him into pieces Throw it out and feed it to the dogs!"

Liu Shui covered his eyes with his sleeve, "I killed Hualuo."

The sound was dry, without waves, but rustling like withered leaves.

Yingxin and Qin Feifei looked at each other and sighed softly.

Qin Yingying said: "My lord, you don't need to blame yourself. Who is the person who deliberately set the trap, who is the person who cut off the incense, and who is the person who brought a bunch of poisonous snakes? The one who prepared such a big pot of venom with silver hooks painted on iron Who is it? The young master can't bear such a femme fatale, it's all caused by Shan Lingyu's ulterior motives." She shook the whip in her hand, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to whip him a few more times to vent my anger!"

Liu Shui: "Yingying... don't go."

Qin Yingying opened her mouth to refute.

Qin Feifei shook her head at her and said, "My lord makes his own decision."

Zi Luo took out the porridge and side dishes from the food box, and said, "My lord, eat as much as you want. The people sent by the emperor are still waiting outside the city, saying that they can only return to their orders after seeing the lord."

Liu Shui said: "Yingxin, where is Bailang, let Bailang help me, all you girls go out."

Ying Xin suppressed the emotions in her heart, and said: "My lord, Bai Lang can't enter the Red Silk Palace, let Ying Xin help you."

Liu Shui looked up at her and said nothing.

Ying Xin knelt down on one leg, "My lord, forgive me."

Liu Shui: "What happened to Bailang?"

Qin Yingying said: "The venom from the iron painted silver hook was poured on Bailang's head forcefully, and Bailang fell to the ground dead on the spot with the city lord on his back."

Liu Shui closed his eyes and said: "You all go out and wait, I will get dressed and go out."

Ziluo wanted to talk, but Qin Feifei pulled her away.

The Red Silk Hall was completely silent again.

The door of the palace opened, and the running water wore the clothes he brought from Xiaocangshan, making him thin and thin in the bitter cold wind.

Ziluo came to help him, he shook his head and said, "Take me to the dungeon in a soft sedan chair."

Yingxin ordered someone to arrange a soft sedan chair, Ziluo brought a cloak from the hall, and said: "It's cold, my lord, please wear an extra cloak."

Liu Shui said: "No need."

The dungeon was cold and dark, and Shan Lingyu didn't need anyone to whip his whip, he was already coughing so badly.

Liu Shui sat outside and watched him for a long time with a blank face.

Shan Lingyu stopped coughing, and went to the door to look at him, "...are you alright?"

Liu Shui said: "Not good."

Shan Lingyu looked at his pale lips and thin clothes, and said, "You've lost weight... Liu Shui, you...don't be too hard on yourself. You still have me."

Liu Shui said: "Shan Lingyu, I have never regretted it so much in my life. If only I had never known you. After Hualuo fell off the cliff for the first time, if only I had nothing to do with you."

His voice was flat, and there was no emotion in his eyes.But Shan Lingyu felt creepy for no reason, and suddenly coughed again and again.

Liu Shui said: "Shan Lingyu, I will let your prime minister's mansion pay back the lives of all the families in Taiwei's mansion, and I will also let you pay back the lives of all those who died innocently and tragically."

Shan Lingyu said: "Liu Shui, you can't kill me."

Liu Shui said: "I won't kill you. Ye Wang's life is claimed by those who have Ye Wang. I just won't protect you anymore."

Regardless of her being out of breath, Shan Lingyu shouted: "Why have you ever shielded me? When have you ever looked at me seriously? You only see flowers in your heart, what about me? Have you not seen me for so many years?" ?”

Liu Shui's eyes were heavy, and he said, "You are not worthy of jacquards."

"That's why I hate him." Shan Lingyu said: "Liu Shui, after he fell off the cliff for the first time, I saw you looking like you were going to die, and I wished for him to fly away. Who would have known that not only did he linger, but he even revived and came back to haunt you "Shan Lingyu laughed loudly, "I don't regret killing him at all, he died well and thoroughly, and he will never come back to make trouble again."

Liu Shui lowered his eyes, walked out of the dungeon, and said: "Take off the jade pendant on his body, cut off a bunch of his hair, and send it to the Prime Minister."

·

A few days later, Shangjincheng was in chaos.A dozen adults who held military power had their heads shaved overnight.Some of these dozens of people had nothing missing except their hair, some lost an ear, some lost an arm, some had two ribs pumped out, and some both legs had their knees dug out.

These people were hanged alive at the gate of Shangjin City, and the crimes were clearly written on their backs.

There were rumors in Shangjincheng that the Taiwei from the Taiwei Mansion had come back to take revenge.Taiwei's mansion was destroyed for no reason, none of his subordinates came forward to rescue, some even made trouble, and finally divided up the military power of Taiwei, and now the case of Taiwei's mansion is pending.

The emperor was furious, reprimanded these people for losing the face of the court, ordered to take back all the military power in their hands, and punished them according to the severity of the circumstances.

A few days later, the second son of the prime minister's mansion fell off a horse and was seriously injured. The prime minister submitted his resignation letter to the emperor, requesting to retire and return home.Taifu Xie Wuding threw out the prime minister's heinous crimes in the court hall, and the Taiwei's mansion was wronged and punished.The emperor decreed to search the Prime Minister's Mansion and put everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the prison.

On the day when the prime minister's mansion was beheaded by Manmen, Liu Shui stood on the tall building of the palace and looked down.

The emperor said: "Liu Shui, come back."

Liu Shui said: "Your Majesty, let me build you a wild embassy. It is designed for the imperial court to manage the affairs of the rivers and lakes that the imperial court cannot control, but it is not controlled by the imperial court. How about it?"

The emperor said: "If you are not under the control of the imperial court, how can you obey the imperial court and do things for the imperial court?"

Liushuidao: "Contract is to be hired. The foreign embassy is established by the imperial court in name, and it is famous for being a teacher, but in fact it is owned by the deacons who have served in the foreign embassy. The contract is for the imperial court not to control the foreign embassy. The embassy does not work for the Jianghu people, and does at least one thing for the court every year. It is hired because both parties are free, and everything can be discussed. In fact, it can also be regarded as the emperor's private office, what does the emperor think?"

The emperor asked without answering, "Where do you want to build it?"

Liu Shui said: "The emperor knows why and asked."

The emperor laughed, "You really know how to borrow names."

Liu Shui said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment."

The emperor said: "Are you the first deacon of the foreign embassy?"

Liu Shui looked at the head that fell on the ground, and said, "It's Hualuo."

The emperor looked at him, and he also looked at the emperor, saying: "Awu, I want to give Hualuo a place of light."

The emperor sighed, "If you want to pay it back, it's up to me to pay it back."

Liu Shui said: "Then wait for the emperor's imperial pen to seal it himself. By the way, the plaque of the wild embassy should also be given by the imperial pen, and the imperial decree for granting the embassy should be written again and stamped with the emperor's seal for me."

Emperor: "I'm used to calling people."

Liu Shui: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor sighed slightly in his heart, the calm and breezy appearance made him a little uneasy.He said: "The wild embassy is all given to you, so stay there, I'll send someone to decorate it for you. Would you like to talk to me in the palace these days?"

The blood red all over the ground has been washed away, and the running water turned his back on the railing, looked sideways at the emperor, and said, "Let me be happy for a few more days while the embassy is still doing nothing."

The emperor said: "I will arrange a car to take you back, and I will take you back when you are happy enough. This time, no further excuses are allowed."

Liu Shui smiled and nodded.It would be good for Ah Wu to feel more at ease, otherwise he has to be guarded by him every step of the way, making him feel as if he has returned to those dark days when he was like a wandering ghost.

Forget it, he couldn't comfort Ah Wu, nor could he comfort himself.Let's go back to Jincheng.

The emperor sent him to the gate of the city, ordered someone to bring him a stack of yellowed books, and said: "The ones left over from the inspection of the Taiwei's mansion back then, you keep it for thinking about it."

Liu Shui flipped through those years of notes, his eyes were faintly red.

The emperor said: "Master Taiwei bound all your notes into a book and named it "Xiaocangshan Lunji". Maybe the people who confiscated them saw that they belonged to Xiaocangshan and handed them over to the palace. Now let's keep them for you .”

Liu Shui carried these books into the carriage, and the memories of the years were so dazzling that he couldn't see the scenery along the way.

Xiajincheng, the Red Silk Hall, and the Hall of Discussion.

Liu Shui put the imperial decree that the emperor's imperial pen personally sealed the flower as the first deacon of the wild embassy and the imperial decree that the wild embassy bestowed on Liu Shui on the long case.

He looked at the crowd and said, "You are all friends of Liushui. Liushui doesn't know what kind of place Yewang is to you, but for Liushui, Yewang is a place to be grateful for and unforgettable."

He took a deep breath and said, "Yewang saved Hualuo and Liushui. Both Hualuo's life and Liushui's life bear a great kindness from Yewang."

He picked up the tea beside him and took a big sip, and after a while, he said: "Now, the flowers are gone.... Liu Shui has been taken care of by all of you so far."

He pointed to the imperial decree on the long case, "This is Liushui's wishful thinking, and it is also Liushui's intention. Liushui once promised you that you will always be ambitious people, but ambition will not always be dark. Liushui will do what it says."

He rubbed Hualuo's name on the imperial decree with his hands, "I have approved this wild embassy from the emperor. Hualuo is the first deacon of the wild embassy. If you want, you can still be his subordinates, or work with him." Work together. If you want to stay in Xiajincheng, Hualuo won't blame you, and Liushui won't complain."

He picked up another imperial decree and said: "The location of the foreign embassy is next to the Guanglu Pavilion built by the emperor. That place is relatively remote, and the land is also reserved. It has been empty for a long time. It is not as spacious as Jincheng , but it is enough to live comfortably. Now the land deed is in my hands, and the imperial decree has also been obtained. I leave all these to Yewang. It is just a meager kindness of Liushui, and you must not refuse."

There was a stack of papers full of writing on the case, and he distributed these papers to fourteen stewards one by one, saying: "This is the charter of the foreign embassy that I have listed roughly, and you can take a look at it whether you go or not. If you have any questions, just ask them directly, and Liu Shui will answer them.”

Everyone read the regulations, Qin Feifei said: "Young master, will the embassy still be wild in the future?"

Liu Shui nodded, "Yes. The wild embassy is always ambitious. It does not belong to the court, nor is it under the control of the court. It does not have to receive any court officials. It is only established by the court in name. This is also to give Hualuo a legitimate official position. It is also to give Yewang the convenience of walking under the sun. It’s just that from now on, the Yewang embassy will manage some Jianghu affairs that the court cannot control, and cannot handle affairs for the Jianghu. In fact, as long as you don’t expose yourself, you are not a registered deacon. , you can have two identities and walk between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes. Therefore, not doing things for the rivers and lakes is just to appease the emperor's heart, and it has no effect on ambition."

Cheng Weiwei said: "My lord, what does such a wild embassy do for a living?"

Liu Shui said: "You also know that Yewang is very rich. I won't take any of the money, it's still Yewang's. The Yewang embassy only makes a contract with the emperor, and they can freely negotiate how much money to hire. The Yewang embassy is also very big, as long as it is not a rebellion. Discipline, you can use the wild embassy to do whatever you want."

Qin Yingying said: "I know, the wild embassy is a place for us to play and rest when we go to Shangjincheng."

Fan Yuyi said: "Can I also go to the embassy to dance?"

Liu Shui said: "Your identities are very special and honorable in the foreign embassy. People in the court dare not come to provoke you, and ordinary common people have no chance to get close. So no one can afford to dance in the foreign embassy. You can Dance yourself and have fun."

Ziluo said: "My lord, is the embassy a special place for the emperor?"

Liu Shui raised his eyebrows, "Everyone, the foreign embassy only makes a contract with the emperor, which does not mean that the foreign embassy belongs to the emperor, but it is indeed only hired by the emperor to do business, and the employment method can also be negotiated. This is just one of them. In fact, based on my proposal The original intention of the wild embassy is to give you a new identity and the possibility of another way of life."

He put away the imperial decree and said: "Purple, put it away first. Think about it slowly, don't worry. In addition, there is no Lord of Wild Hope now, but Wild Hope is still there. Go back and see your subordinates, do you think about it?" Those who left to live a free life wrote down their names, made a written statement that they would never have anything to do with Yewang and would never sell Yewang, and gave money to release. If anyone was unwilling to leave, the remaining people would give the name of the next Yewang. The master is selected. Those who are willing to go to the foreign embassy can make a record with Ziluo, and Ziluo can take it to Master Xie Shouyu to complete the formalities. Let’s all go away.”

This civilization will end today.
