Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Listen to the wind in early summer, and sleep in the red clouds in the sun.

A group of people was rushing towards Luo Jing on the official road.Seeing that the sun was setting to the west, the officers and soldiers who were exploring the road ahead hurriedly returned to report: "My lord, there is still half a day's journey from the post station, and there are no residential buildings. Shall we drive overnight?"

The leading officer calculated the distance from here to the first ambush point in his mind. If he sleeps in the open tonight, he will arrive there at noon tomorrow, and the sky and the earth are wide open, and the thieves have no place to hide. This is where they rest for the night The good thing is, so he said: "Don't be in a hurry for one night, let's camp here for the time being, let the brothers watch out for criminals, and they will arrive in Beijing soon, so be careful. This is the person His Majesty wants to interrogate in person. If there is anything wrong, we will The head of the project is hard to protect, and the command goes on, no one is allowed to leave the team without permission."

"Yes!"

The soldiers obeyed the order, leaving half of them to watch the prison carts and horses, while the other group set up camp and prepared to light the fire, and were spreading out when they suddenly heard the sound of killing!

"Enemy attack—"

The soldier who went to fetch water became the ghost of the robber, and his throat was cut before he could finish his sentence.But in an instant, hundreds of masked robbers in black suddenly jumped out of the river near the camp. The sound of shouting, beating and killing startled the horse herd and caused a commotion.

"Meet the enemy! Keep an eye on the prisoners! Boys, kill me!"

Unexpectedly, the leading officers and soldiers were also frightened into confusion by the robbers' surprise attack, but quickly held on to their momentum and rushed forward with their swords drawn.

Blades intersected, blood spurted, well-trained officers and soldiers immediately restored order after a short period of chaos, those who met the enemy killed them, and the prisoners surrounded the prison car.But they, or the emperor's men, miscalculated the importance the robbers attached to the prisoner Xie Yonglin. Quickly broke into the siege and went straight to the prison car!

Seeing that the general situation was over, the leading officers and soldiers took out the signal flare from their arms while fending off the robber's attack, threw it to the sky, and made a violent bombing sound!

"Reinforcements are coming! Boys hold on! Don't let the prisoners make any mistakes! Fight hard!"

The news of the reinforcements really boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers, and the originally decadent situation was instantly restored. These soldiers were all soldiers who came down from the Liangzhou battlefield who dared to kill and dare to die. They roared and swung their knives at the robbers. .

Just as the hidden royal guards who received the distress signal rushed to the place where the incident happened, in the Luojing Imperial City, Emperor Zhenyuan, who had taken a look at Gu Chao'an, walked into the imperial study with a sullen face.

"I have seen Your Majesty—"

"Excuse me." Emperor Zhenyuan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, waved his hands, sat down and said, "Aiqing is asking to see you at this hour, if you have anything to do, let's talk."

Li Dashen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, was not a stupid person either. Seeing that the eunuch Dongsheng was not by the emperor's side, His Majesty had a look of hesitation, and he couldn't help but tense his nerves and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, today I'm interrogating the Jiaozhou rioters. It's an urgent matter, hereby report."

"What's the matter."

The maid served the tea, and then quietly withdrew. Emperor Zhenyuan was distracted, and lifted the lid of the teacup. He still thought about the impatience of the ancient Chaoan today. His brows and eyes sank, and he let go Tea cup.

Seeing this, Li Dashen hurriedly said: "Those bandit leaders used to serve as officials in Ningzhou. According to their confession, the Muruan Mansion of Ningzhou State has committed the crime of casting inferior silver since more than ten years ago. In the 20th year of Zhenyuan, all the newly minted official silver was replaced with inferior silver, which was issued in various counties of Ningzhou. The matter of inferior silver is no small matter, so I did not dare to delay, and when I heard the news, I reported it to His Majesty. Your Majesty, please have a look at the confession and the memorial of the Ministry of Punishment."

Eunuch Dongsheng was not there, and eunuch Feng Ping, who was handed over by his subordinates, quickly took the report from him and submitted it to the imperial case.

Emperor Zhenyuan frowned, turned over the memorial briefly, and said in a deep voice: "Did the bandit leader give up the amount of bad money?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these bandits do not hold high positions in Ningzhou, and two of them are former aides of the Muruan Mansion in Ningzhou. Only then did they know about these crimes, but if they go deeper..."

"Okay." The emperor interrupted him, "The Minister of the Xuanhu Department came to see me, and we will discuss this matter after he comes over."

Emperor Zhenyuan was about to get up, but sat back down again, and only called eunuch Feng Ping to come over, and said in a low voice: "You go back to Zhengyang Palace yourself, and tell Dongsheng that I will go back later today, let him stay there for a better life serve."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Feng Ping hurried away.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of talking to him, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice did not know whether it was because of the news or because he was troubled by other things. He sat on the head and opened the report again, with a cold expression, not knowing what to think. something.He quickly clamped his tail and stood aside respectfully, without making a sound.

After half an hour, Li Tao, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, hurried over and kowtowed to pay his respects, but he didn't hear the emperor wake him up for a long time, before throwing the memorial submitted by the Ministry of Punishment in front of him, saying: "Ai Qing, take a good look, Look carefully, and then think about what to say to me."

Hubu Shangshu has devoted himself to his duties in the past few years, and has steadily avoided the danger of being removed from the black hat. He was relieved not long ago, and the big stone in his heart suddenly lifted when he was suddenly summoned by the emperor today. With the cold tone, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he hurriedly picked up the report on the ground to look at it.

Ningzhou privately exchanged official bank for inferior bank? !Zhenyuan 20 years? !

Li Tao was taken aback. A batch of official silver was exchanged. It could be salvaged if it was brought back in time before it flowed into the market. But now eight years have passed, and the bad silver has changed from one tael to ten taels. Where does it flow!To make matters worse, it happened to be Ruan Mansion in Ningzhou. Now Concubine Ruan Shu is dead, and Ruan Mansion has withered, and there is no way to question her.

Li Tao groaned in his heart, he held his breath and looked at it carefully, but he couldn't find any way to justify it, so he kowtowed and pleaded guilty: "The minister is not effective in supervision, and he didn't investigate such evil deeds, please forgive me!"

"Heh, I entrust you with the full power of the bad bank. After so many years of investigation, you can still get someone to exchange the official bank privately under your nose. Now that the Dongchuang incident has happened, you don't want to make atonement, but you just want me to punish you , it seems that you don’t want to be Minister of the Household Department anymore.”

When the emperor questioned the Minister of the Household Department, the eunuch Dongsheng sent the lotus seed and old duck soup cooked by the queen to Zhengyang Palace.

Gu Chao'an took two sips, then put it down without interest, got up and said to Eunuch Dongsheng: "I'll be alone for a while, you go and serve him."

"Third Master, His Majesty just ordered someone to come over to deliver a message, saying that the front hall is busy and will come back later today, and specially ordered this old slave to serve you."

"I don't want to see you, don't you know that?"

When he said this, the smile on Gu Chaoan's face was the same as usual.

Eunuch Dongsheng trembled all over, and immediately buried his head lower. "Old slave... please forgive me, the third master, I will retire now, may I send you some books..."

"No need." Gu Chao'an walked towards the inner room of the dormitory. "Let them all withdraw, I don't want to be disturbed by them."

The eunuch Dongsheng responded, saw him enter the bedroom, and closed the door tightly. In desperation, he had to let the hidden guards who were waiting in the dark go far away so that Mr. Liang would not find out.

Gu Chaoan closed all the windows, and suddenly heard a soft ringing in his ear, and someone covered his mouth and nose and said softly, "Don't speak out, Uncle Chao'an, I am Changsheng."

"Longevity...?"

Gu Chao'an was taken aback, held his hand and turned around, the faint light from the outside sky allowed him to see who was coming.A young, white and handsome face, as the coach said, was completely different from the face of the Zhu family man. He was clearly unfamiliar, but he confirmed at a glance that what the other party said was true, and said in the lowest voice in shock: "You Why are you here, why are you... don't talk, you go, there are all hidden guards around here, you—"

"Those hidden guards can't find me." Zhu Dingbei said: "Don't talk about it, uncle, change your clothes quickly, and I will take you away."

Seeing the package in his hand, Gu Chaoan couldn't ask any more questions at the moment. He could only undress and change into new clothes. After putting them on, he realized that the clothes were the same as those worn by Zhu Dingbei, and they were all light armor specially made by the Imperial Forest Army. .While he was changing his clothes, Zhu Dingbei had already arranged it on the dragon bed, and a dummy with black scalp and long hair was stuffed into the quilt from nowhere, and suddenly he saw it was lifelike.

Gu Chao'an now knows that he has a careful plan and is not acting recklessly, so he feels at ease.

Zhu Dingbei did not delay after finishing the arrangement, but took Gu Chao'an into the clean room of the ear room and opened the window, sent Gu Chao'an out of the window, followed closely by himself, and then pulled away the string that opened the window, and the window instantly opened. Close it as if it were locked indoors.Zhu Dingbei complained of offending, carried Gu Chaoan on his shoulders, used his lightness skills and rushed to the guard post where the Imperial Forest Army changed defense as quickly as possible.

Although Gu Chao'an didn't make a sound, his eyes were full of horror.

He didn't expect that the frail young man mentioned by the coach would have such a skill, his light kung fu could be said to be elusive, and what he saw in the most powerful scouts in Zhu's army was not as good as Zhu Dingbei's body and footwork.

Zhu Dingbei led him to successfully evade the detection of the hidden guards, but within half a stick of incense, he came from Zhengyang Palace to the guardhouse where the Imperial Forest Army changed defenses.Now it was ten minutes in the evening, and it was the time when the Imperial Forest Army changed their defenses day and night. There were already a dozen people in this line, seeing the two of them suddenly barging in but no one said anything, it could be seen that they were all from Zhu Dingbei.

Gu Chao'an didn't know how he did it, even the Imperial Forest Army had such great energy.But soon, they followed the dozens of people to the guard to hand in the Royal Forest Army Palace badge, and then went through the investigation one by one to leave the palace.

After getting on the horse, Gu Chao'an couldn't believe that he got out of the palace so easily!

Zhu Dingbei flicked his horsewhip, turned his head and gave him a urging wink, he immediately came back to his senses, raised his whip and followed Zhu Dingbei.He didn't turn his head to look at this majestic imperial city, where, in this life, he only wished never to set foot again.
