Strange Records of Xijing

After all, walking is not as fast as horses.When Pei Jingxing and Su Yan saw the city gate of Xijing, the last group of people were anxiously lining up at the gate, waiting for investigation.

"Pei Street Envoy!" When it was Pei Jingxing's and Su Yan's turn, a soldier came over and shouted excitedly after seeing Pei Jingxing's appearance clearly.

Pei Jingxing carefully sized up the soldier and found that he was not familiar with him.On the contrary, the soldier was still excited, pointed at himself, and reminded Pei Jingxing with a voice that only two people could hear: "Two years ago, I finished training one day and came home a little later than usual. Wei found out that he was almost punished as a curfew violator. Luckily, the Street Envoy Pei was there at that time, which gave me a chance to explain. By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet after talking so much. Envoy Pei, my surname is Sun, A single name with a green character."

Pei Jingxing nodded: "I remember. But I am no longer the envoy of the Jinwuwei Street, and you don't need to call me by my official name anymore."

Sun Qing was obviously an acquaintance. When Pei Jingxing said this, he showed his white teeth happily: "Brother Pei, hurry back, curfew is coming soon."

The only thing Pei Jingxing brought with him when he left the city was a horizontal knife, which was left in the ghost emperor's dream. Although Sun Qing gave Pei Jingxing a convenience, he did not neglect his duty.

Pei Jingxing did not leave in a hurry, but walked into the city and stood aside waiting for Su Yan.

Su Yan was dressed as a Taoist priest and carried a mahogany sword on his back. As usual, he should be released soon, but this time it took a very long time.

Sun Qing turned around and saw that Pei Jingxing was still standing there, so he walked over and asked, "Brother Pei, are you waiting for someone?"

Pei Jingxing nodded, and Sun Qing could only be regarded as a stranger to him, so he replied: "There is a young Taoist priest, yes my friend, I went out of the city with him today."

Sun Qing's smiling face suddenly disappeared, and his eyebrows frowned, obviously Sun Qing was very conflicted in his heart at this time.

"what happened?"

Sun Qing sighed, and said in a low voice: "Brother Pei, the boss just conveyed his intention that now every Taoist priest in Xijing should be thoroughly investigated about the three generations of his ancestors and his succession. I'm afraid that friend of yours won't be able to enter today. It's Xijing."

"Why?" Pei Jingxing was very surprised, "Who conveyed the meaning? Whose meaning?"

Sun Qing shook her head: "I'm not sure about that. I heard from my brothers that the life of ordinary Taoist priests may be difficult during this period of time."

Although he knew that it was not Sun Qing's fault, but it was related to Su Yan, Pei Jingxing still couldn't control his anger: "The three generations of each Taoist priest's ancestors and succession? I want to know, who will investigate the three generations of the national teacher's ancestors!"

Sun Qing quickly persuaded: "Brother Pei, don't worry, I'll go over and see if I can talk. Since the priest is a friend of Brother Pei, he must not be a bad person. We are also doing things according to the instructions above, and we hope Brother Pei, you can understand."

Pei Jingxing suppressed his dissatisfaction, nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Fortunately, not long after Sun Qing passed by, he accompanied Su Yan again.

"Are you all right?" Pei Jingxing looked Su Yan up and down carefully, fearing that he would suffer a disadvantage.

"It's okay." Su Yan shook his head, "I helped one of those soldiers, and you, my friend, spoke for me."

Pei Jingxing turned to Sun Qing and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you very much this time."

Sun Qing hurriedly hid aside, waved his hands and said: "Brother Pei has done me such a big favor, I just say a few words now, it's nothing. Brother Pei, Daoist Su, the news came very quickly today Urgent, it seems that the order was received suddenly from above. The brothers all said that some Taoist priest should have offended someone. It is better for Daoist Su to go out less during this period, so as not to cause trouble for no reason."

"Oh, young master, Daoist Su, you guys are back!" At the gate, Uncle Uncle saw Pei Jingxing and Su Yan from afar, and rushed forward to greet him.

Pei Jingxing saw that Uncle Fu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and jokingly said, "Uncle Fu, what's wrong with you? We two are not three-year-old children, so we might get lost if we go out for a while."

Uncle Fu didn't care about Pei Jingxing's teasing himself, and said: "Young Master Tang brought someone here just now, and said he wanted to find Daoist Su, and took Daoist Su to the princess's residence to take refuge."

Pei Jingxing's smiling face suddenly disappeared: "What's going on?"

"I can't tell." Uncle Fu put on a bitter face, "Master Tang is inside, so please go in and ask Master Tang."

When Pei Jingxing and Su Yan went in, Pei Huaiyu was stuffing walnut cakes into his mouth chatting in every possible way.Seeing the two of them coming in, Pei Huaiyu stood up abruptly, wiped his mouth casually, and walked around the table.

"The two of you are finally back. I drank three pots of tea nervously, and I was full of water!"

"I think you are living comfortably these days." Pei Jingxing sat down with Su Yan and asked, "What's going on? The inspection of Taoist priests at the city gate is also very strict."

Pei Huaiyu stuffed the last bite of walnut cake into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it, then took another sip of tea, and then said: "I don't know the specific reason. But today the national teacher was reprimanded by His Majesty and kicked out of the palace." It’s over! Then there was a decree from the palace, saying that the Taoist priests in Xijing would be strictly investigated.”

"The national teacher was kicked out of the palace?" Both Pei Jingxing and Su Yan were greatly surprised.

You know, the national teacher is the emperor's confidant. In the past, if there was a conflict between the national teacher and the ministers, it was the ministers who were most unlucky.It's a good day now, but the national teacher unexpectedly has a bad day.

Driving out of the palace was no ordinary reprimand. In a sense, this incident could even prove from the side that the emperor no longer fully trusted the national teacher.In addition, there was a decree from the palace to strictly investigate the Taoist priests in Xijing, so it can be seen that the national teacher must have done something that made the emperor very angry, and brought other Taoist priests into bad luck.

"Oh, that's right," Pei Huaiyu said, "After I heard about it, I wondered what Daoist Su should do! Daoist Su has no relatives and no reason in Xijing, so... ouch, why are you calling me? I!"

"No relatives and no reason?" Pei Jingxing withdrew his hand, "Do you think I'm dead?"

"Didn't I forget... Oh, cousin, stop beating me!"

"You think I can't protect Su Yan?"

Pei Huaiyu behaved this time, and quickly shook her head: "Why would I think so? But other people are not me, and they might think that it's a pity that you don't take the opportunity to bully and bully your cousin, who is at home now."

What Pei Huaiyu said was correct, Pei Jingxing had been the envoy of the Jinwu Guard for three years, and he had sinned against some dignitaries to some extent.Now that he has been dismissed from office by the emperor, even with the golden double mace bestowed by the emperor, he can't hold back some vengeful people who are gearing up in private, thinking of ways to create opportunities to retaliate.

Pei Jingxing was also aware of the situation, so he didn't make any more moves, but asked Pei Huaiyu: "What are you going to do?"

Pei Huaiyu was confident: "I plan to take Daoist Su to my house. Although father is not at home, but my mother is here. I want to see, who dares to do something on Minglang County Lord's mansion!"

As the person involved, Su Yan shook his head and rejected Pei Huaiyu's kindness: "There are so many Taoist priests in Xijing, they won't target me specifically. And if those people try to find trouble, we are not afraid."

Pei Jingxing liked that Su Yan put the two of them together, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, even if I lose my official position, they can't just bully me casually."

Pei Huaiyu looked left and right, fell back, and sighed: "Well, anyway, I can't go back today, so I will disturb my cousin and cousin..."

Early the next morning, the side door of Pei's mansion was slapped loudly.The gatekeeper was still sleepy, he yawned and rubbed his eyes, and got up to answer the door.

"Who is it?" The boy stood in the door, only opening a crack.

"I... I'm looking for Daoist Su."

The boy was taken aback, there was no one outside, so this voice...

He shuddered and lost all drowsiness immediately. Just as he was about to yell, he heard the voice from below again: "Look down..."

This time the boy saw someone coming, but he didn't even reach his waist, and he didn't know where the kid came from.

"What are you looking for, Daoist Su?"

The child took off the hood, took out a sign from his pocket, and handed it to the boy: "I am the Taoist boy of Taixuanguan. It was Daoist Xie Wei who asked me to come to Daoist Su."

The boy received a message from the housekeeper last night that anyone who wanted to see Daoist Su in the past two days had to ask why he came.He didn't dare to be careless, and asked again: "Why did you come to see Daoist Su? Let me tell you, if you don't make it clear, I won't let you in regardless of whether you are a Daoist from Taixuanguan or not. "

Xiao Daotong was about to cry: "I... I... Daoist Liu Rusu in Taixuan Temple was forcibly taken away by the Jinwu Guard. Daoist Xie Wei asked me to find Daoist Su."

Seeing that the child was about to cry or not, the little servant made people feel distressed, so he hurriedly coaxed: "Okay, okay, you come in first, stay here obediently, and I will pass it on to you."

The boy handed over the little boy to his companion who was guarding the door with him, and he went inside to find someone.

"Why did the Jinwu Guard catch Liu Susu?"

Xiao Daotong tried to answer while hiccupping: "I don't know... hiccup... Jin Wuwei said... Daoist Liu... hiccup... what kind of heavenly girl did Daoist Liu go to... hiccup... heavenly girl or something, Just... hiccup... took him away."

"Tiannv Temple?" Pei Jingxing and Su Yan exchanged glances.

"Yes, that's what it's called," Xiao Daotong took a sip of tea, swallowed it seven times, and finally stopped hiccupping, "The Jinwu guard who came to arrest people said that they found out that Daoist Liu had been to the Tiannv Temple some time ago, so they arrested him. Captured. Uncle Zhou and Master are not in the temple, and there are several Taoist priests standing up for Taoist Liu, but those Jinwu guards still say that if the Taoist priests make trouble again, they will all be arrested."

Pei Jingxing confirmed it patiently: "Are you sure it was because Liu Susu had been to the Tiannv Temple that the Jinwu guards took him away?"

Xiao Daotong nodded obediently: "That's right, that's what Jin Wuwei said. Daoist Xie also said that Daoist Su should not go out these days."

Su Yan reached out and rubbed Xiaodaotong's head: "Don't worry, I understand."

Xie Wei and they had just been to the Tiannv Temple yesterday, and the people of the Jinwu Guard probably didn't have time to know about it, so Xie Wei quietly sent this little Taoist boy to inform them.

It just so happened that at this time a maid was carrying several plates of freshly baked snacks, and Xiao Dao Tong, who had been woken up by the Jinwu guards early in the morning, was starving. He smelled the aroma and stared straight at the plates. Exquisite dim sum, I can't take my eyes off it anymore.

Pei Jingxing got up and said to Su Yan: "Xie Wei is right, we still don't know the reason of this incident, please don't go out yet. I'll go to Jin Wuwei's friends now, maybe I can find out some news .”
