[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

The spring rain is like silk, it is disturbing and disturbing.

Hua Manlou stood in the crowd holding an umbrella, and his ears were filled with the voices of the crowd's discussions. The people who were discussing could not do without Gongsun Ce who had already been escorted to the execution ground.

Ten years of feng shui took turns. Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng made a sensation in the capital, and they were talked about. Knowing that he is a traitor who is collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, he was escorted back to Beijing, and will be executed in a few days.

Although the common people were talking about it, they didn't believe that Gongsun Ce, who looked so proud, was a collaborator and traitor. Look, kneeling on the execution platform, his back was straight and his lips were tightly pursed.

Gongsun Ce calmly opened his eyes and looked at the people in front of him. The endless rain fell on his body, but within half an hour, he was completely soaked. It's the same as in the ice hole.Even though his teeth were trembling from the cold and his lips were turning purple, Gongsun Ce didn't want to ask for mercy and reveal his fragility.

He has a clear conscience, whether it is to the court or to the people, he has never been sorry for Da Song, let alone his conscience, wanting to kill or cut, resigned to fate.

In this world, there are many loyal ministers and good generals, and there is no shortage of him.

Searching for a thoughtful figure in the crowd, going back and forth several times, finally saw the man in a cobalt robe in an inconspicuous place. Even though he was holding an umbrella to cover most of his face, Gongsun Ce still looked away. Recognize who that is.The tightly pursed lips finally loosened a bit, staring at the person in the distance, as if feeling it, raised the umbrella and stood there motionless.

If he hadn't known that Hua Manlou was blind, Gongsun Ce would have thought that Hua Manlou was staring at him.

Being able to see Hua Man Lou, Gongsun Ce was already satisfied. The only regret was that those friends were not around, so he couldn't see him off for the last time, and his father also—

"Cher!"

"Father?!" Gongsun Ce stared wide-eyed and looked in the direction of the voice, too shocked to speak.

Gongsun Zhen stood there, a person who usually pays attention to etiquette and manners, he didn't even have time to put on his official hat, and some places on his body were wrinkled together, he must have come in a hurry.

"You still have the face to call me daddy?! Do you know what you are doing now? You are unfaithful and unfilial!" Gongsun Ce pointed at Gongsun Ce and said, "Have you ever thought that if you were beheaded like this, what would you call me?" How should I explain to your mother? How will you explain it when you see her down there? You really embarrass me!"

"father……"

"In the past, when you competed with Bao Zheng, I never said a word about you. You are proud and young, and even if you and Bao Zheng came to the capital and caused a lot of trouble, you sent letters back to Luzhou several times to ask me to help you. , I have a few words to say that you are not?" Gongsun was so angry that his fingertips were trembling, "If you are thinking about these things, you should not sit and wait for death. If you have the original xinxing, you should clear yourself of the crime! "

Hearing that Gongsun Ce finally lowered his head that had been held up just now, feeling guilty and unwilling, he was also unwilling to sit and wait for death, but he was worried that more people would be killed because of his impulse, including those he cared about. Relatives, friends, no matter who is implicated because of him, he will have a bad conscience.

Hua Manlou didn't expect Gongsun to appear. The supervisor asked about the time, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Gongsun Ce, who had been silent just now, suddenly raised his head, struggled to stand up, his knees were tense, Staring at him, he said, "My lord, Gongsun Ce has something to say."

"Do you have any last words to say?"

"Last words? Heh, Gongsun Ce won't die, why should I say the last words, but these words are related to the world, it's better for adults to come here, otherwise——"

The prison officer has been an official in the court for many years. Even if he is not a person with great power, he knows that Gongsun Ce is extremely smart. He went in and out with Bao Zheng and solved countless cases. In front of Ce, "I'm here, if you have anything to say, say it immediately, otherwise you won't be given a chance to say it later."

Gongsun Ce raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes sparkled, "The collaborators are not subordinates, but..."

The last two words were extremely light, but the supervisor in front of Gongsun Ce was already pale, looking at Gongsun Ce unable to say a word, he looked like seeing King Yama in the clear sky.

"My lord, why don't you ask, should I be beheaded or...shouldn't I be beheaded?" After Gongsun Ce said this, a cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Hurry up, send someone into the palace to ask the emperor's opinion, just say, just say that Gongsun Ce is not a spy, he..." The supervisor and execution officer couldn't speak fluently, and he already had some bloated figures looking at him under such circumstances. As if he was about to fall to the ground at any moment, the guards around him were amazed.

What ability does this Gongsun Ce have to reverse the situation in an instant?

At some point, Huamanlou with an umbrella came over, and handed an umbrella to Gongsun Ce, "Uncle, hold an umbrella, the spring rain is as thin as silk, but it's also chilly."

"Hey? So it's Man Lou, and you're here to see Ce'er off?"

Walking to Gongsun Ce, he leaned over the umbrella in his hand, "Originally, but not now, but to help him get rid of the crime."

Gongsun Ce looked up at Hua Manlou, "I thought you were going to stand there forever."

"It wasn't appropriate to show up just now, but it's okay now."

The supervisor had already lost his position. Just now, Gongsun Ce's words were like a lightning strike on him. He couldn't care about the people who suddenly appeared beside Gongsun Ce. He could only think of an earlier reply from the palace. It wouldn't make him pace back and forth restlessly here.

After waiting for a while, the person sent did not come, but a more difficult person came.

"The next official sees the King of Zhongzhou!"

"Huh, the emperor has ordered that there are still doubts about Gongsun Ce's case. The execution will be suspended and sent back to prison for interrogation."

"Yes! The officer takes orders!" The supervisor stood up and directed the guards around the execution ground, "Come here, hurry up and take Gongsun Ce back to the prison for interrogation!"

Gongsun Ce looked at the people who came over, nodded to the worried Gongsun Ce, then looked at Hua Manlou, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"I know."

When the jailer came over, Gongsun Ce was taken away. Hua Manlou stood there for a while, put away his umbrella and said, "Uncle, let's go back to the inn first, and I will explain everything to you slowly when we get back to the inn."

"kindness."

Pang Tong was riding on horseback, looking at Hua Manlou and Gongsun Zhen who were about to leave, and frowned—did these people completely ignore themselves?He was clearly the one who came to save Gongsun Ce from the fire and water just now, so why didn't these people show any kindness at all?

Some angrily rode away, wondering if it was time to go to the prison.

When Hua Manlou and Gongsun Zhenyi returned to the inn, Gongsun was really anxious and was about to ask something, but unexpectedly Hua Manlou poured him a cup of tea, "Sit down, uncle, I will tell you one by one. Listen. Ah Ce has not been executed now, which means he won't be executed in the future, so don't worry too much."

"I'm in a hurry."

"I should have been in a hurry, but since Pang Tong appeared at the execution ground, Ah Ce wouldn't be wronged and suffered a disadvantage in prison. He must have taken care of it."

"That's fine."

The matter is not complicated, but Gongsun Ce has become a scapegoat.

Gongsun is really a member of the officialdom, so he naturally understands the truth, so he can only sigh helplessly, lamenting that Gongsun Ce has somehow become someone else's scapegoat.

"Uncle, do you have official documents for coming to Beijing?"

"No, I just heard the news and couldn't sit still and came in overnight. I should go back at night."

"Uncle is tired all the way, it's better to rest for a day before going back."

Gongsun Zhen shook his head, "Going to Beijing casually without official documents, it would be troublesome to leave without authorization. Now I know you are by his side, so I am relieved, but it would be great if Bao Zheng was also there. The emperor has always been kind and generous to Bao Zheng. Words are more useful in front of the emperor, even if I say ten words, it won't be worth Bao Zheng's words."

Hua Manlou nodded upon hearing this.

"The uncle rests for a while. I'll have someone escort you back at night. Ah Ce has been thinking about you all the way. He can rest assured that you will go back safe and sound."

"Then do as you say."

He opened the door and called the waiter to prepare two meals. One was packed in a food box and the other was brought into the room. Just as he was about to close the door, Zhan Zhao's voice appeared next to his ears.

"Brother Hua, how could you lie to me? Brother Gongsun was taken to the execution ground just now! Did you deliberately dismiss me?" Zhan Zhao was so annoyed that Hua Manlou sent him away, even if he wanted to rob the execution ground , Joining with his kung fu can't add a force.

Before Hua Manlou opened his mouth to explain, another voice that made him even more troubled was inserted next to him, "Hua Manlou, I really misjudged you. Are you planning to send us all away and go to the execution ground alone?"

It's unbelievable that Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are fighting against Huamanlou, which is rare.

Hua Manlou shook his head and let them enter the room, "You come in first and talk about it later, this matter is not what you think."

"I'd like to see how you explain it—hey? Master Gongsun, why are you here?" Zhan Zhao stared at Gongsun Zhen in surprise, "Master Gongsun, are you here because of Big Brother Gongsun?"

"Zhan Zhao?"

"I just came back from the outside with Chinchilla, and I heard that Brother Gongsun was beheaded on the street. No, he was almost beheaded."

"He's back in prison now, and he's fine for the time being."

Bai Yutang and Gongsun Zhen had met each other when they were in Luzhou, and they also sat down after nodding their heads.

The four of them were sitting together, and the other three couldn't help but look at Hua Manlou, who was supposed to be anxious but was exceptionally calm.

What kind of medicine Huamanlou sells in this gourd is so calm.
