There's A Beauty

But after staying in the mountains for six months, it has been more than [-] years since I came down, even Youshu, who has experienced many battles, was terribly frightened. She was a little drowsy, but now she is fully awake.He took the whole set of historical records off the shelf, read each page carefully, and finally determined that this was not his illusion.

"Can't I go back again?" Thinking of those people and those things 600 years ago, Youshu couldn't help feeling sad.Although the master detested him, the grace of saving his life several times was not fake, and the reason why he can survive until now is all due to the master, the master...

Thinking of this, Youshu blushed slightly, and picked out the part of the historical records about Zong Shengdi and read it carefully.

According to historians, Emperor Zongsheng is undoubtedly the greatest emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His iron cavalry traveled all over Kyushu, wiped out the seven kingdoms, and connected the east and west continents vertically and horizontally without hindrance.During his reign, he never closed the gates of the city, and there was no curfew. The people did not pick up things on the road, and they did not close their houses at night. Their lives were very prosperous and stable.During his lifetime, he had [-] personal expeditions, all of which were invincible. He was also known as the "war emperor".

He worked hard to govern, strengthen the country, and created the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, but he never married in his life, nor did he leave a son or a half daughter.According to historians' speculation, the reason why he did this was because he was injured in a battle with the barbarians in the west.Fortunately, he didn't pay much attention to blood, and he had no attachment to imperial power, so he adopted eighteen disciples of the clan as his heirs and carefully cultivated them.

However, when he passed away, he did not leave an edict to pass on the throne, nor did he confess his last words. The princes who had grown up very well fell into internal strife, split a powerful dynasty into nine small states, and fought endlessly in civil wars for years. .After that, the Ming Dynasty disappeared, and it was replaced by the era of nine kingdoms fighting for hegemony. The nine kingdoms all claimed to be orthodox, annexed each other, and became five kingdoms side by side.

And the current Xia Qi Dynasty is the most powerful country among the five kingdoms. The ruler of the country regards himself as a descendant of the Ji family, and even threatens to restore his ancestor's imperial hegemony.

On the last page of the annals of history, the author left a sentence with emotion: How sad and magnificent Zong Shengdi is to create a great cause for all generations with loneliness for all ages!

In the magnificent text, in the achievements of the past and the present, it seems that there are many inexplicable sorrows and regrets hidden.

Seeing this, Youshu closed Shiji and heaved a long sigh.The master's life is good, but it doesn't seem to be good, but no matter what, he will never want to stay by his side.It is said that the emperor is suspicious. Sooner or later, his own ability will become the fuse to destroy the relationship between the two. Instead of going to that point, it is better to separate when they are most intimate.If one day he thinks of himself, those fears and doubts will probably have disappeared, and the good memories may be able to exchange him for a gentle smile.

Thinking of her master's smiling and handsome face, Youshu's eyes turned red, and then quickly disappeared.Immediately afterwards, he thought of the Song family again, and looked through the history books. He didn't have any hope at first, but he didn't expect her name to be on it.The master treated her very well, not only bestowing her a first-class imperial order, but also caring for her until the end of her life.It was precisely because the master personally organized the ceremony on the day of the burial that the historian added something to the Song family, otherwise an ordinary lady like her would not be eligible to be included in the history books.

Youshu was very grateful, but also a little sad. She threw the safety letter she had just written into the brazier and burned it, hoping that Mrs. Song could see it under Jiuquan.He didn't suspect at all that everything he experienced was a deception. People can cheat, but ghosts can't cooperate.

When he met the servants of the Zhao family, he found that the clothes of these people were quite different from those of the Ming Dynasty. The cuffs were tightened, the hem of the clothes was short, and the overall style was closer to that of Hu Fu, as were the ghosts and ghosts.The change of clothes can best show the changes of the times. He remembered that when he returned to Beijing with his master, he passed by Lin'an Mansion. People didn't dress like this at that time.However, it is possible to change daily clothes in a year, which is possible in modern times, but it is absolutely impossible in the closed and conservative ancient times.

Youshu took out the bank notes hidden in her underwear, feeling extremely annoyed.Time has changed, times have changed, all his wealth has been wiped out, and he has become a penniless pauper with unknown origins.Although Xia Qichao regarded himself as orthodox of the Ji family, he also knew that the government would definitely not recognize the household certificates and road guides from 600 years ago.

Without money, without status, without guides, the desire to eat all over the world is in vain.Youshu scratched her head, wondering why she was always so unlucky?

Just at this time, the little devil came back, why did he say, "My lord, who do you ask the little one to help you find? The little one may have misheard."

"I'll let you find Zhao Youshu." Youshu put the historical records back to their original places one by one.

"But, aren't you Zhao Youshu? How about I help you find a ghost doctor?"

Youshu, "..."

The room was quiet for a moment, and Youshu said again, "Forget it, bring me some things. Three coins for cinnabar, one gecko, and twenty fireflies. I want it now."

The little ghost muttered to himself for a while, and then disappeared after making sure he had memorized it.After a while, a black cat entered with a gecko in its mouth, and many fireflies were driven by the dark wind into a glass bottle placed on the table. A greased paper bag.

Youshu was not idle either, after searching the room for a long time, she found a few hairs under the pillow.He crushed cinnabar and fireflies into powder and made a paste, then sprinkled the ashes of his hair into it, and finally made a strange dark red glowing liquid.Fortunately, Zhao's family is the family of officials, and they kept the map of Lin'an Mansion, so it is easier to find people.

He spread the map on the table, dipped a brush with a little liquid, and drew a magic circle along the city wall of Lin'an Mansion. With the last stroke, the faintly shining magic circle suddenly brightened, and then quickly went out.

It's done!It was the first time Youshu drew the person-finding circle, but she didn't expect it to work so quickly.He immediately pierced the gecko's abdomen with a needle, took out a drop of blood, and dropped it on the center of the magic circle, muttering words.The blood did not seep into the paper, but rolled up like beads. After a few breaths, it stopped at a certain position on the map, and then turned into a small arrow.

Youshu took a closer look, and saw that the blood beads stayed in the Zhao Mansion impressively, and the arrow was indeed pointing at herself.How is this going?Did the formation go wrong?He didn't believe in evil, and tried again, but the result was the same.

The little ghost stared at him for a few moments. Although Mr. Xindao has great mana, his brain doesn't seem to be enough.If you look for yourself, there is no one else.

"This one is not allowed, change to another one." After five or six times of trial and error, Youshu finally gave up.He wiped off the blood, then took out a piece of white cloth, quickly tied it into a little man with hands and feet, and hid a few hairs in the belly of the little man.

After doing this, he paused and asked, "Do you know Zhao Youshu's birth date?"

The little ghost is not a slave of the Zhao family, but a servant of the last, last, and last master of this mansion. He has been dead for five or sixty years.On the day the Zhao family moved in, he began to wander around the houses, and he also watched Zhao Youshu grow from a young boy to a young man. How could he not know where his birth date was?

"Wait a moment, my lord, the little one will go and have a look inside your mother's house." The little devil just ran a few steps, then turned back and smiled flatteringly, "Don't worry, my lord, the little one will definitely not run into your wife."

After a while, he brought back a piece of rice paper.Youshu took a look and couldn't help frowning.Strange thing, except for the difference in year, Zhao Youshu's birth date is exactly the same as his, and the exact time is even more exact.

Could it be a coincidence again, but how can there be so many coincidences in the world?Although Youshu hesitated in her heart, she still folded the birth date into a small triangle bag, stuffed it into the belly of the puppet together with her hair, and placed it in the center of the magic circle.He changed a mantra, and just after counting breaths, he saw the villain suddenly stand upright and walk with his calves.

This time, she was not looking for someone, but asked Zhao Youshu to walk back by herself. If it was not far away, she would arrive in a few hours.However, Youshu miscalculated again. The villain took a few steps, and he followed suit until he bumped into the edge of the table involuntarily.

The villain seemed to be hindered by something, and his calf was stepping and stepping, even if he stayed in place and could not move, Youshu helplessly followed it and bumped against the edge of the table.

He stopped reciting the mantra until his waist was bruised, and his face became very tangled.Several times of casting spells showed an unimaginable conclusion—the Zhao Youshu before, it seemed, was himself?But how is it possible?I was still on the mountain six months ago.

How is it impossible?June in the mountains, but it has been more than six hundred years in the world!In this treacherous and unpredictable world, what strange things will not happen?Youshu tried to explain this phenomenon with theories such as space folding, space jumping, and 26-dimensional space, but in the end she made herself even more confused.

The little ghost was also in a mess, he had never seen anyone looking for him with such relish, and he cast spells eight or nine times before he was reconciled.Your lord thinks that life is too boring, looking for fun for yourself?

Youshu didn't have fun, but a lot of troubles.However, he is the kind of person who muddle along, today's troubles will never be brought to tomorrow, it is so late, let's take a nap.He cleaned up his things, blew out the candles, and fell asleep as soon as his head was stuck to the pillow.

The little ghost was speechless for a moment before quietly running away.

The next day, Youshu woke up in a commotion.I saw a group of detectives with steel knives confronting a group of servants with sticks outside the courtyard, while his new parents both blocked the door, shouting, "If you want to take my son away, you can't take it from our corpses." Step over!"

Is this here to arrest someone?Yesterday, Youshu knew that "Zhao Youshu" was involved in a lawsuit, but she didn't have a sense of urgency. Now, realizing that she might be "Zhao Youshu" herself, she suddenly woke up and ran to the door with bare feet to look around.

Zhao Zhizhou and Wang hurriedly stuffed him behind their backs, saying nothing to let him show his face.

The arresters did not dare to offend the Zhao family, but they also did not dare to disobey the order of the prefect. Why not, "Lord Zhao, you should hand over Mr. Ling as soon as possible. The prefect has already written a note. If you bend the law for personal gain, he will ask you If you report this matter to your superiors, then not only will your son suffer, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your official uniform!"

The plump Zhao Zhizhou immediately took off his official hat and yelled, "If you don't hand it over, you won't hand it over. You don't want this official uniform, and you don't even want to arrest me!"

This is too unreasonable, it's still a parent official!The policeman was quite disdainful, and was about to continue persuading, but he heard an extremely pleasant voice from inside the room, "Well, what charges are you arresting me for?"

"Of course it's homicide!" The policeman was very rude.

"To arrest people, especially the sons of officials, you must have solid evidence. Have you found the corpse?" Youshu not only read the historical records last night, but also flipped through the laws of Xia Qichao, knowing that the family of officials enjoys privileges. The next is absolutely not to be arrested and imprisoned.This is the benefit of the feudal dynasty and the privileged class.

The policeman was dumbfounded for a moment before saying, "The body has not been found, but we have the testimony of the deceased's mother."

"You can't believe one-sided words. I can sue her for slander and blackmail. Without a body, it can't prove that a person is dead. If a person is not dead, what qualifications do you have to arrest me? Go back, I want to eat breakfast .” Youshu poked her head out from between Zhao Zhizhou and Wang Shi.

The catcher was angry and anxious, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to leave with people.Zhao Zhizhou and Wang hugged their son on one side and the other on the right, boasting a lot.

They are all accused of murder, but their parents still have no bottom line to cover up and indulge. If it were placed in modern times, they would have been exposed and sprayed to death, but Youshu didn't think there was anything wrong.He grew up in the apocalypse, and had not formed a correct view of right and wrong and a sense of justice. Not only did he not think that the Zhao couple was wrong, but he also took it for granted.If you really love a person to the bottom of your heart, then no matter what kind of mistakes he makes, it is probably worth forgiving, right?

Youshu has never loved anyone, and she feels that she has never been loved before, and her parents in the two generations have ignored him, so she suddenly feels very comfortable when she meets the Zhao couple who dote on him without limit. Very happy.He thought, let's stay here until he finds "Zhao Youshu", since there is nowhere to go anyway.

Soon he found that the Zhao family was indeed a paradise, and even the breakfast was very rich. There were five or six kinds of dumplings alone. , The servant girl actually brought a plate of braised pork.

When eating with the master, this is a dish that must never appear in breakfast because it is too greasy.

Youshu loves to eat meat, and wants to eat it every time, and there is no shortage of meals, but under the persecution of her master, she has to develop the habit of eating light in the morning.Now no one cares about him, and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother are still pampering, once the dimple on Youshu's cheek was exposed, she never retracted it.After a hearty meal, he felt that the food he had just swallowed had hit his throat, so he gave up and lay back on the chair to hiccup.Smiling, Wang rubbed his son's stomach, while Zhao Zhizhou told the servants to take good care of the young master, and went to the yamen by himself.

The life of the Zhao family is comfortable, but Youshu has not forgotten the business. "Zhao Youshu" still has life lawsuits on his body, and he has to find a way to solve it, otherwise he might be arrested and go to jail.According to the laws of the Xia Qi Dynasty, the murderer must pay for his life, and the children of officials and eunuchs can be punished by a lower grade, but they have to travel thousands of miles.

Most of the places of exile are remote and bitterly cold, so hard work is not a problem, the key is not enough to eat!Thinking of the feeling of being hungry, Youshu became frightened. After digesting the food, she hurried back to the front yard and found the little ghost, "Go and help me find out about two ghosts, Xingui. One is called Sun Xique and the other is Fang Sheng. They are The villagers of Sunjia'ao fell into the Chaoshui River. If they died, they should wander around the riverside. If you can't find them there, you should find out their birthdays, and it's best to get two hairs back." Then he handed over a yin-yang vitality talisman.

The little ghost was very happy to get the talisman, and hurried out to inquire about the news.He already has five or sixty years of Taoism, and with the blessing of two talismans, he has added another 60 years. He can be regarded as the number one ghost in Lin'an Mansion, and naturally he has many younger brothers to drive.

In less than half a day, he turned around in a hurry and told, "My lord, I have searched up and down the chaotic river and found no ghosts. I guess they are not dead. Here, here is what you want." Putting his hands down the words Present two sheets of paper with a few strands of hair in each.

As long as people are not dead, things will be easy to handle.With a firm heart, Youshu waved her hand to send the little ghost away, and took out the liquid that was not used up last night, burned a piece of hair and mixed it into it, drew a magic circle again, and finally dripped two drops of gecko blood to find people.The bright red blood quickly rolled together, and finally stagnated on a mountain called Yaoling at the junction of Lin'an Mansion and Huzhou Mansion.

Youshu quickly looked through the government records and found that Yaoling covers a very large area and is often haunted by ferocious beasts, so it is not an ideal hiding place.One of these two is a weak woman, and the other is a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, and he is still injured. How can they survive in the chaotic river?Furthermore, they must have been in dire health after landing, but instead of quietly returning to the city to seek help from their family members, they ran into the mountains instead. Is this fleeing or seeking death?Maybe they are afraid of being found by Zhao Youshu, but there is another possibility, that is, someone is helping secretly and ordering them to frame Zhao Youshu.

If they always hide and see no one, the government will naturally have thousands of reasons to arrest the murderer, and the Zhao family will suffer accordingly.

Youshu sensed the seriousness of the situation, and was about to send the little ghost to find someone. A few servants ran in outside. Without a word, they picked him up and ran towards the back corner door, saying anxiously, "Young master is not good, the two of them The body has just been found, and the official messenger is on the way now, and it will be here soon. Madam asked the servants to send you to the capital as soon as possible, and the old man will naturally protect you."

"How did mother know that the body was found?" Youshu asked quietly.

"Of course someone in the yamen reported the letter!" The servant was in a hurry.

Escapers are punished with a higher level of crime, even the sons of officials. If they go to Shangjing, even the old man of the Zhao family will be involved.But those two people were obviously not dead, but the "corpse" was found again. There was no conspiracy in it, and Youshu didn't believe it even if she was killed.

The people behind it didn't want to deal with "Zhao Youshu", but used the springboard of "Zhao Youshu" to bring down the Zhao family.This is no longer simply blackmail, but a court battle.Youshu is not really innocent, but does not want to think about too many tedious things, but if these tedious things are life-threatening, he will be more sensitive and decisive than anyone else.

"Let me down! I'm going to surrender, you go to Yaoling and help me find Sun Xique and Fang Sheng. Listen, they are not dead. After finding them and bringing them to the court, I can escape." You Shu jumped from the servant's shoulder Come down and order carefully.The fact that Mrs. Wang can order them to send him to Beijing at such a juncture shows that he is a useful person in the family, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to handle this matter.

He took out two Yin-Yang Yuanqi Talismans from his sleeve pocket and shook them towards the void. He ordered, "Lead them to find someone, and after they are successfully brought to court, these will be yours."

The servants looked at each other, wondering who the young master was talking to.The little ghost among them nodded happily and was eager to try. There are many ghosts and ghosts in the mountain, with quick eyes and ears, so they don't have to worry about finding people.

Youshu put away the talisman and ran to the front yard in a hurry.He practiced his escape skills hard for two lifetimes, so others naturally couldn't catch up. When the servants ran to the main hall, the young master had already been arrested and was about to be taken away, while the wife was sitting on the ground and crying loudly.In desperation, they remembered the young master's explanation before leaving, and quickly organized people to go to Yaoling to find someone.

Youshu's family background is prominent, and he has delicate skin and tender flesh. The prefect never tortured him, not to mention that his target was not the young master. Although it is a pity that the other party failed to escape to the capital without authorization and involved the entire Zhao family. , but it can only go with the flow.He was waiting, waiting for Mrs. Zhao to intervene before making things worse.The Zhao family has deep roots and strong branches in the court, and it has blocked the way of many people. It is time to pull it out.

Zhao Zhizhou is indeed a son slave, and he lost his mind when he learned that his son was arrested, so he begged his father to come forward in the letter with snot and tears.He would rather give up his official uniform, and would rather be cut to pieces, but also want his son to be safe.The old man Zhao was the master of the three dynasties, and he claimed to be wise in all things, but he was repeatedly defeated by the eldest son.If he hadn't been too pampered when he was young, how could he develop such a disregard for the overall situation and reckless temperament?

Now, what the Zhao family wants to preserve is not his official uniform, nor Zhao Youshu's life, but a century-old reputation!This matter can't be controlled!Even if both father and son were convicted, it would not matter.Not only did the old man speak out, but several brothers in the family also resolutely opposed it, and even blamed the ineffective family.

Mrs. Zhao clapped the case and said, "After all, their surname is Zhao, but the bones are broken and the tendons are still connected. If someone takes a copy of the old man, nothing else, the crime of not being strict in teaching children can kill the second and third children." Your official career. My lord, the only plan for now is to get rid of the boss’s family, and when the dust settles, you can deal with it a little longer to keep them alive, which is considered as the most benevolent and righteous.”

The second child and the third child are both legitimate sons. Mrs. Zhao is naturally concerned about these two, and she also deeply hates the eldest family, and she wanted to separate them from her early years.If he had listened to her at that time, such disasters would not have happened now.

The second and third children sighed at the right time, as if they were very embarrassed, and then looked at their father helplessly.

Mrs. Zhao was tired of wiping his eldest son's ass all his life, and he was also very anxious when he learned that many officials were planning to impeach him.He thought for a moment, and finally waved his hands and said, "Let's not mention the matter of expelling the clan for the time being, let's take a look first. The Zhao family must not interfere in this matter, so let the government handle it impartially. The old man will write a note to plead guilty, second child, I will go to court tomorrow Present it to the emperor for my father."

The second child even said "Father is troubled", but he was very dissatisfied with his indecision in his heart.

The eunuch received the letter from Mr. Zhao, and saw that his words were sincere and impeccable, and he thought that Jiang was still old and hot, and even the most beloved son could give up as soon as he said it.Of course, they didn't expect to bring down the Zhao family in one fell swoop, and being able to pull out the big house of the Zhao family was considered a gain.

Zhao Zhizhou has worked in Lin'an Mansion for ten years, and he is especially proficient in common affairs. The Holy One has paid attention to him for a long time.After returning to Beijing to report on his duties this time, he is likely to be transferred to Yangzhou to serve as the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy.The Yan government is the lifeblood of the country, with great power and heavy oil and water, not only the top is watching closely, but the princes below are also watching closely, fighting openly and secretly.However, Zhao Zhizhou was not a seamless egg, so he was naturally dropped by those who took the opportunity.

This time, Youshu not only took the blame for "Zhao Youshu", but also took the blame for Zhao Zhizhou. He really was an unlucky child.
