treacherous world

Bao Yan and Pang Yu ran wildly, and after running for a while, they heard a loud "boom" behind them.

Pang Yu jumped three feet high, "Oh, it's over, those traitors have thunder and fire bombs, and they are going to blow us up!"

"No way!" Bao Yan gasped as he ran, he couldn't run any longer, "Thunderball...why is there no flame."

Seeing that he was panting, Pang Yu knew that he was a weak scholar, and he probably had never run like this in his life, so he reached out and grabbed his hand.

"I may not be able to run anymore, you go first!" Seeing that Pang Yu was about to be held back by him, Bao Yan hurriedly chased him away.

How dare Pang Yu pull him forward.

At this moment, a commotion was heard behind.

Originally, the voices chasing them were shouts of killing, but now they were shouts of motherhood.

The two were stunned, and suddenly saw the two figures of Swish falling aside, and a familiar voice came, "Are you all right!"

Only then did the two stop, panting for breath, and saw Ziying falling beside them, and Zheying standing behind them.

And the black-clothed crowd at the back scattered like a river and a sea, and they saw figures flying around where the cold light was shining, as if some flood beast was coming from behind.

Pang Yu and Bao Yan didn't remember panting anymore, they held their breaths and looked back... Not long after, Zhao Pu came out, and then looked at the rebels, scattered all over the place, all injured.

Zhao Pu thrust Xintinghou on the ground, pointed at the people on the ground coldly to the imperial army called by Gongsun, "Tie me up!"

The soldiers rushed forward, chirped and tied them up, and captured them all alive.

Pang Yu and Bao Yan were still standing there with their eyes wide open, and said in their hearts, be good!Grey-eyed Asura Zhao Pu, I have only heard of it but never seen it, but now I see it, it is really heroic, so powerful.

Zhao Pu raised his head and saw Pang Yu holding Bao Yan's arm in one hand and a soft sword in the other. He smiled with satisfaction, "Young Master, you are so brave."

Pang Yu was taken aback, and Bao Yan nodded, "Yes! It's thanks to him that I escaped."

Pang Yu blushed and scratched his ears and cheeks. His sister was the most correct that day. He is a cheap bone, and he is used to being scolded.

At this time, the government servants from Kaifeng Mansion also came, took him back and locked him up, Zhao Pu took Gongsun down, and under the guidance of Pang Yu and Bao Yan, he returned to the stone room where those people swore just now.

I saw a table in the middle of the square stone room, on which a box was enshrined, and on the wall facing the box, hung a picture in the shape of a four-leaf clover. pattern.

Pang Yu stared blankly at the ball, then reached out and took out the pendant from inside his clothes. After comparing it, he found that it was exactly the same, "Huh?"

Both Zhao Pu and Gongsun took his jade pendant to look at, and Pang Yu told the story of getting the jade pendant, and everyone immediately understood - it turned out that Pang Yu's murder was provoked in this way, and he accidentally saw the leader of this organization. The organization is afraid of being exposed as a symbol, so it has no choice but to kill you first.Pang Yu should also find an opportunity to worship Buddha, no matter what, he could always cause some murders.

Walking to the table, Ziying carefully opened the lid of the box, and saw a jade seal inside.

Gongsun took it out and looked at the inscription on it, and he saw that it was - ordered by heaven to live forever.

"Wow!" Gongsun exclaimed in shock, "Chuan Guo Yuxi!"

Zhao Pu was also taken aback, and looked at it together, "Is it real or fake? Isn't it already lost? The one in the emperor's hand is still a forgery."

Gongsun glanced at him, Zhao Pu quickly shut up and looked up at the sky.

"Hmm..." Gongsun looked at it for a long time, then shook his head, "Maybe, this is indeed a forgery."

"Why do you see it?" Zhao Pu took it over and played with it carefully, and Bao Yan also came over to look at it and nodded, "That's right, it doesn't look like ancient jade, it's new jade!"

"Did they forge the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to win people's hearts?" Zhao Pu lightly shook his head, raised the jade seal and knocked it on the stone table. With a "click", the jade seal shattered.

"Ah!" Bao Yan and Gongsun exclaimed at the same time. Both of them were nerds, and they thought they hadn't made a clear decision yet. If it was true, what Zhao Pu smashed was a treasure handed down from generation to generation.

Zhao Pu smiled, "It would be even better if it was true. For so many generations, you have fought and robbed for such a thing. How many heroes have been ruined on such a rotten stone. It is just right when it is broken." , Throwing the broken jade seal into the box.

Gongsun thought about it, but it would be better without it!Since Zhao Zhen came to the throne, he has rarely mentioned the Jade Seal of Chuanguo again, and it is suspected that its miraculous effect has been downplayed. The world is so big that a virtuous monarch relies on hard work, but it is not such a stone.

Zhao Pu ordered the Broken Jade Seal to be sent to the Kaifeng Mansion, Master Bao, please start to investigate the case, the clues we got this time are almost as good as the people we arrested.Bao Zheng has already sent people to the duck's neck shop and arrested all the people there.

Bao Yan and Pang Yu returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Pang Ji jumped out and hugged his son and began to cry, Pang Yu smiled and comforted, Bao Yan looked at Bao Zheng aside, Zhan Zhao leaned over and whispered, "Lord Bao just turned pale It's gone." Bao Yan was amused.

Everyone returned safely, and the case has also taken shape.

Bao Zheng asked everyone to gather in the study, Mrs. Luo Xin was already waiting there, the truth of that year should be revealed to the world.

Everyone gathered in the study room, before Mrs. Luo Xin could speak, they heard the commotion outside.

Bao Zheng frowned and asked, "Who is making the noise?"

"It's Aijia." A voice came

Bao Zheng was startled, and worried in his heart—why did the Queen Mother come?The emperor has no intention of killing Luoxin, I don't know if the queen mother will...

Just as they were changing colors with Pang Ji, they saw the Empress Dowager walking in, accompanied by Chen Banban, leaning on a dragon's crutch.

Seeing that everyone seemed very nervous, the queen mother smiled and waved her hand, "Don't worry, the Ai family is not here to make trouble."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I went to the imperial mausoleum this morning, and Ai's family accidentally found a letter left by the late emperor." The queen mother said, and took out a roll of white silk from the black brocade box in Chen Banban's hand, Pass it to Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng opened it and was dumbfounded for a moment. Pang Ji also craned his neck to look at it, and was amazed after reading it.

Everyone is curious.

Bao Zheng handed the silk to Mrs. Luo Xin.

Mrs. Luoxin was still very puzzled. When she opened the silk, she saw that it was a letter written by the late emperor. It contained a lot of his guilt and remorse towards Mrs. Yue and Mrs. Yue and her wife and Princess Ruyue. .It was written in the letter that if future generations are destined to find these two people, they must take them back and take good care of them. After a hundred years, they will also enter the imperial mausoleum with me, and everything will be done according to the imperial concubine and princess ceremony.

"It's a lie!" Luo Xin threw the silk handkerchief on the ground, "It's all a lie!"

"No!" Chen Banban said suddenly, "Princess, it's not a lie. The late emperor was deceived by the wicked and made a big mistake. He never forgot your mother and daughter all his life. Although at the beginning, the late emperor did It was because of ulterior motives that you brought your mother into the palace, but as time goes by, you should still remember the appearance of the first emperor. He really cherished your mother and daughter. It's a pity that the situation in the palace changed back then, and the first emperor was ultimately unable to protect you two. Man, this is his lifelong regret."

Luo Xin clenched her teeth and held the silk handkerchief, "My mother said he was lying..."

"Yue and Madam were also deceived." Chen Banban shook his head helplessly, "The emperor and Madam have always been wary of each other and never opened their hearts. prove!"

Everyone was taken aback, looked up at the old man, as if asking——who can prove it? !

He looked out, and there was a tall figure standing in the courtyard outside the door.

When everyone took a closer look, they saw that it was Xiao Bao Fu and Luo Yuan who were supporting the still weak Abbot Xuan Bei.

Abbot Xuanbei walked slowly into the study room, leaned forward slightly, knelt down on his knees, and grabbed the ground with his head in front of Mrs. Luo Xin, "Princess, it was me who framed Mrs. Yuehe, and I also framed Mrs. Luoxin." The late emperor!"

Luo Xin sat there blankly, opened her mouth wide, and asked after a long time, "Which one of you is telling the truth, and who is telling the lie?"

Everyone shook their heads, thinking that when she was a young child, the most innocent child like her was often the one who died in the struggle for power in the palace.This Mrs. Luoxin is cruel and ruthless, acting crazy for revenge. She was blinded by hatred since she was a child. The sudden arrival of the queen mother also brought the emperor's handbook, which brought the inner court struggle back to the surface even more.

Luo Xin had originally promised Bai Yutang to tell Bao Zheng the whole story, but now she is easily provoked, so she burst into tears.

Fei Ying and several female shadow guards came to take care of her, and took her to the side to sit down and rest.

If what the Empress Dowager and Abbot Xuan Bei said is true, it means that the hatred that Luo Xin used to support her survival has become extremely ridiculous, and there is no need for it to exist at all.At the same time, all her efforts for revenge over the years have become meaningless!

Bao Zheng went back to the study and sat down, and asked the Queen Mother and others to also take their seats. He looked at Abbot Xuan Bei standing in the center of the study, "Monk, you seem to know more clearly what happened back then, let's talk about it."

The monk sighed a long time, "The poor monk just realized that leaving the secular world and entering Buddhism does not cut off the past, and the bad things you have done will not be forgiven by the Bodhisattva."

"What do you forgive, Bodhisattva?" Pang Ji sneered, "Why don't you ask for the forgiveness of those you have harmed, it's putting the cart before the horse, it's ridiculous!"

Bao Zheng looked at Pang Ji, raised his eyebrows, as if to express his affirmation—Old Pang, he finally said something human!

"The poor monk's original surname is Bu, and his single name is Lu." As soon as the great monk said that, Chen Banban jumped up, "Are you Bulu?"

The queen mother asked puzzledly, "Who is Bulu?"

"Report to the Queen Mother!" Chen Banban said in a low voice, "Bu Lu was a commander in the Imperial Army back then. Back then...he was the one who had an affair with Yue He and his wife, which made the first emperor furious. Yue and Mrs. Stubborn, I felt that the first emperor didn't believe me, so he said he wanted to leave, and the first emperor was so angry that he locked her up and ended up in a tragedy."

Everyone frowned, and looked at Abbot Xuanbei together in a blink of an eye, it turned out that this was the instigator.

The monk sat down with Xiao Baofu's support and told everyone the truth about what happened back then.

More than 20 years ago, the first emperor Zhao Heng accidentally learned some clues about Qin Ji's legacy during Taizong's period, which was the story of the ancient shipwreck.He wanted to find those treasures, so he sent people around to search for clues.

Once, several shadow guards found a gold ornament in a pawn shop in the south of the Yangtze River, which was the gilded crane feather in the historical records.

Through the shopkeeper of the pawn shop, the shadow guards found the pawnbroker, who was Yue Hefu.

After hearing her playing the piano, Zhao Heng knew that it must be related to Qin Ji back then, so he brought her into the palace, pretending to love her, and wanted to get clues about the treasure back then from her.

But the world is unpredictable, after getting along for a long time, Zhao Heng developed feelings for her, and wanted to accept her as his concubine.It's a pity that the queen mother tried her best to stop her at that time, so she had to hide her in the west courtyard.

At that time, Bu Lu was a commander of the Imperial Army. He was young and capable, and he was highly valued by Zhao Heng. However, he himself was very dissatisfied with Zhao Heng. He felt that he was cowardly and useless.

By chance, Bulu got acquainted with Li Ranbo, General Li, who was one of the famous generals who guarded the border at that time, and it is said that he is a descendant of Li Shimin, king of Tang Dynasty, and he is quite famous in the army.

After Li Ranbo dated Bulu for a period of time, he brought him into a sect—the Four-leaf Sect.

The Four Leaf Sect is a sect spontaneously organized by some militant warriors to overthrow the Song Dynasty and revive the Tang Dynasty. Li Ranbo is the leader. Bulu knows that this person is ambitious and wants to become emperor.

But at the same time, he felt that Li Ranbo was very capable, and he was several times stronger than Zhao Heng in terms of domineering, resourcefulness, courage, etc., so Bu Lu was also loyal to him.

Knowing that Zhao Heng brought back a Qin Ji, the Four Leaf Sect also felt puzzled, and after careful investigation through several palaces, they found out the mystery.Li Ranbo began to want to obtain treasures. With this huge amount of wealth, he could use it to expand his armaments. When he rebelled and overthrew Zhao Heng, he would be crowned king!Anyway, Zhao Kuangyin's country was also stolen.Therefore, Li Ranbo devised a poisonous plan.

After getting along with Yue and his wife for a long time, Zhao Heng already had a deep affection, and every month and his wife gave birth to a very cute little princess, and Zhao Heng loved their mother and daughter even more.

Ke Yue and his wife were very wary of people, because she was afraid that the other party had other plans. When she gradually opened her heart to Zhao Heng, she heard some gossip.There were a few court ladies and eunuchs talking about Zhao Hengliyue and his wife's affairs behind their backs, and when she overheard them, distrust developed over time.

One day, Mrs. Yuehe was attacked, and Bulu happened to save her. When Zhao Heng saw her, he became suspicious.At this time, someone added fuel to Zhao Heng, saying that Yue He's wife had behaved disorderly, had an affair with Zhao Heng, and that even the little princess might be a villain.

Zhao Heng sent someone to monitor Bulu, and when he learned that he had tattoos of Yue and his wife on his arm, he became jealous. In fact, this was Li Ranbo's plan.

He sent someone to kill Bulu, and when Bulu fled, he killed the monk Xuanbei of Faguang Temple, shaved his head and pretended to be him, and escaped.At that time, Faguang Temple was also under the control of Li Ranbo, so no one discovered it.

In addition, when killing Monk Xuanbei, Bu Lu accidentally discovered that many sewers under Kaifeng City were connected, so he discussed with Li Ranbo and made a plan to take Yue and his wife out of the palace.

After all, Zhao Heng is a sentimental and widowed person, and when he learned of Yuehe's infidelity, he treated her coldly.But after all, the matter was not investigated clearly, and he could not kill the mother and daughter, so he ordered people to continue to investigate.

Yue and his wife misunderstood.She was originally afraid that Zhao Heng would be with her for the sake of the treasure, but now that he was getting colder and colder, she thought it was because he could not find out where the treasure was and thus alienated her, and she became even more sad.

At this time, there were rumors in the palace that Zhao Heng had murderous intentions for the mother and child. Sure enough, not long after, it was rumored that Princess Ruyue was drowned. It was actually Bulu and Li Ranbo who planned to take the little princess out.

Yue and his wife lost their beloved daughter and wanted to commit suicide, but Bu Lu suddenly appeared and told her that the princess was not dead and had been rescued. He asked Yue and his wife if they would go together.When Mrs. Yuehe heard that her daughter was not dead, and hated Zhao Heng for not thinking of his family, there was that fake scene of jumping into a well and committing suicide.She was taken out of the palace by Bulu and lived in Yinshan Village.

This Yinshan Village is a stronghold of the Four Leaf Sect. Li Ranbo arranged some family members of the Four Leaf Sect members here.Knowing that they belonged to the old tribe of the Tang Dynasty, and thinking of the relationship between her ancestors and the king of Tang, and her hatred for Zhao Heng, she joined the Four Leaf Sect.She named one of the many treasure locations, dug up some of the treasure, and prepared to plan a rebellion.

Unfortunately, Zhao Heng found out about Li Ranbo's rebellion, executed him, and killed all the members of the Four Leaf Sect.He also knew that he had wrongly blamed Yue and his wife, but he couldn't find anyone again, and he was very regretful.

During the ensuing catastrophe of purging the Four Leaf Sect, many officials were sacked one after another, and the only ones who escaped were the people of Faguang Temple and Shanyin Village.Everyone no longer wanted to make trouble, so they lived quietly like this.

Soon, Mrs. Yue and passed away due to long-term depression, leaving only the young Princess Ruyue, who was renamed Luoxin.

The so-called innocence is full of guilt, those villagers have long known that they have hoarded a lot of treasures in their hands, and one day they will be killed, so they dug holes in the back mountain, preparing to take refuge when things happen.And the day when the catastrophe came, really came.
