Lei Yue Longmen

Cen Zhu was dragged into the hospital in a daze, and was pressed on the sick bed. Seeing the scratches on her face, Xiaoyuan was terrified, "My lord, what did you get scratched by? Why are you like this?" It's scary, go and call Sister Gu Qing over here."

Gu Qing rushed over from the backyard, saw the scars on her face, was also shocked and heartbroken, and hurried to get the wound medicine to apply to her.

Cen Zhu stunned and slapped the people around his head, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, scratching his face, "It's okay, I was scratched by a cat, the imperial doctor has already prescribed the medicine."

Xiaoyuan patted his chest, "I was scared to death, I? Did I think you were being fooled by being tickled?" After speaking, he felt unlucky and quickly shut up.

"What's going on? Ah? How could the adults call the cat to scratch?" Xiao Zhuang wondered.

Cen Zhu's face was a little pale, and he didn't want to talk much, "Well, me? Go to the inner room to sleep first, remember to wake me up before You o'clock?" After speaking, he went to the inner courtyard alone, and his back looked a little bit lost.Although Gu Qing couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do.

Xiaoyuan picked up the mansion newspaper she had left on the collapsed house, and took a look. Lan Que Crown Prince Lan Yingrou passed away?So? What a pity that he died young.Other than that, I didn't have any extra feelings, and turned back, and she actually found a line of small characters, which was about their adults.

The general meaning of the translation is this: "The impact of this cat disaster is huge... the relevant personnel were injured to varying degrees, among which Cen Zhu, the right servant of the household department, was the most seriously injured. When he entered the yamen, regardless of his own safety, he fought bravely with wild cats. Unfortunately, his face was injured and blood spilled on the scene. Imam personally issued an order to comfort him, and sent Imperial Physician Xu to treat him. According to the report of Imperial Physician Xu, the scar on Cen Shilang's face was shocking, although It is now out of danger, but the risk of losing its appearance is still extremely high..."

"Great..." Xiaoyuan showed Gu Qing and Xiaozhuang the mansion newspaper in shock, and the three looked at each other in astonishment, all sighing.At this time, a lot of eyes suddenly poured in from the entrance of the Changqing Medical Center, all of them came to inquire about Cen Shilang's injury, Xiaoyuan said angrily: "It's too much! The adults are like this, and they still come to watch the fun! Really! How unreasonable!" "That's right, how can it be disfigured? It's just nonsense!"

So the three of them closed the library ahead of time, and drove out all these idlers who were full and idle all day long.

At the end of Shen Shi, Gu Qing went to call Cen Zhu according to his advice, usually he would wake up as soon as he was called, but today there was no movement for a long time.Gu Qing felt something was wrong, touched her forehead and felt it was burned, then went to test her pulse, and quickly asked Xiao Yuan to bring the medicine box.

It was already night when Cen Zhu woke up, his head was groggy, and he asked Gu Qing, "What? What time is it?" Unexpectedly, his words were hoarse and obscure, and his throat was still a little sore.She knew that she was probably sick, and wanted to force herself to sit up, but Gu Qing pressed her down, and said in sign language: "Don't move, you need to rest now."

She remembered the agreement with Li Jingchen, and lay down helplessly, "You asked Xiaozhuang to go to the household department to help me? Take a leave of absence. I won't be on duty tonight."

Gu Qing nodded, and was about to call Xiao Zhuang, but suddenly a voice of great urgency came in from the hall, "The big thing is wrong, is your adult there? Call her out quickly. Something big happened in the yamen!"

The voice is Cui Moxian.

Cen Zhu had a headache, struggled to sit up, and said while getting dressed, "Let him in!"

Cui Moxian arrived just after he buttoned up the buttons and didn't have any shoes on. He smelled the smell of medicine all over the room and was puzzled for a while.

"Cen Zhuo, something is wrong, do you know? The tax banks of Fuyin and Fengyin counties were hijacked halfway, the Holy One was furious, and he had already summoned His Highness and the head of Fufeng to enter the palace. This time, someone else It's going to be bad luck!"

Cen Zhu was surprised. Fuyin and Fengyin are the two most prosperous prefectures in the north. Taxes and money in these two places are very important to the imperial court. Generally, the local government sends heavy troops to escort them to Beijing. The precautionary measures have always been Yan Yan, how could he be hijacked?

She asked as she put on her shoes.Cui Moxian sighed: "Who said it wasn't? But something went wrong this time. Besides, I heard that the robbery of tax money this time seems to be a man-made disaster. The emperor is so angry that Longyan is furious!"

"Man-made disaster?"

"That's right, it's not someone else who is in charge of this tax and money escort." He lowered his voice, looked around and looked around for no one, and then revealed in a low voice, "It's the Prince-in-law from the Eastern Palace."

"Tu Yunkai?" Cen Zhu frowned, "How could it be him? Didn't he return to the northern border to serve as a garrison?"

"That's right, it was the Northern Xinjiang Army that escorted Fufeng's tax bank to Beijing this time. It is said that Tu Yunkai took a short cut from Moyin County instead of taking the Guyang Avenue after crossing the Zhuo River. The wolf mountain was in the middle of the road, but they were robbed by the bandits who were ambushing there, and most of the soldiers and horses were lost."

"Moyin County is full of bandits, and there are many valleys and forests between the Langshan Mountains. The terrain is high and steep, and it is most suitable for ambush. From the eighth year of Qinghe, the tax bank north of the Zhuohe River no longer goes there, and all go east. Take a long detour and take Guyang Avenue. How could he choose to take that road?"

"Who said it wasn't! Hey, do you still remember the incident that His Royal Highness in the Eastern Palace fell ill a few days ago?"

"Remember, you mean...?"

"I? I vaguely heard outside the lobby that people from the Eastern Palace said that Concubine Tu decided to take a shortcut to return because he was worried about His Royal Highness's condition. He didn't expect someone to set up an ambush there. His Highness was so angry that he smashed the inkstone, I? I was so frightened that I ran back quickly. I didn’t leave or stay, and while they entered the palace and haven’t come back, what? Why don’t you hurry up and come to you for an idea?”

"What idea can I have? I am not at the forefront, and I don't understand the situation at the time." Cen Zhu put on his shoes with a sad face, and thought to himself, no wonder Li Jingzhu is so angry. Donggong just lost Tan Xuanjing, and his strength Big loss, Tu Yunkai? Now this kind of thing happened again? Didn't it just give people a handle?

"Do you know which group of bandits hijacked the tax money?"

"I don't know about this. However, bandits who are capable of robbing tax money are rare."

Cen Zhu put on his hat worriedly, "Let's go, go to the yamen first and wait for the news."

When I walked to the door, I suddenly stopped: "By the way, Xiaozhuang, me? There is a map on the fourth shelf on the third floor on the left side of the study. There are many landmarks on it. Can you go back and help me? Bring it, I? I need it urgently. Remember to send it directly to the Yamen."

"Good lord."

Gu Qing saw that she left with illness, knowing that there was no way to stop her, so he had no choice but to decoct the medicine and asked Xiao Zhuang to send it along.

As soon as I entered the house of the household department, I found that many people were there. It seemed that everyone had heard about the hijacking of the tax bank, and they were all waiting for the news here.Seeing the arrival of the two servants, they all stood up to pay their respects.

"Hey, do you know? This? It's Tu's first mission since he was convicted, but there was such a big mistake. I guess this time his consort position will be suspended again."

"It's not just hanging here? Is it simple? I remember the person who went wrong with the escort of tax money last time? I remember that it was Han Shuyi under the command of Ningbei Hou Zhou Hanshan. He was the most capable general in the Northwest. What happened? How is it? He was pulled out and beheaded."

Everyone sighed.Then someone retorted: "This? Concubine Tu is the son-in-law and the son-in-law of Marquis Dingguo. How can Han Shuyi be compared? How could he be dragged out and beheaded? You think too much."

"This? Not necessarily. What will happen today? It's always unpredictable. The next one in the East Palace is also a copy of the current one. Maybe they will destroy their relatives righteously. After all, this? It's something wrong with the tax bank. It's not a small matter."

Cui Moxian coughed, reminding his subordinates to be cautious.Cen Zhu was dizzy at first, but now his mind cleared up.Not long after sitting down, someone from the palace came to report, "The emperor has ordered that Cen Zhu, the right servant of the Xuanhu Department, enter the palace to have an audience."

Everyone in the room turned their heads to look at Cen Zhuo.Cen Zhu also found it strange that Li Pinghong told her what to do in the palace?Immediately tidied up his clothes, entered the palace with the messengers, and went to the imperial study.

From afar, I heard Li Pinghong lecturing in the imperial study, the voice was so loud that it could be heard through two doors.

"Cen Shilang, please wait here, our family will go in and report first." Cen Zhuo nodded in response, and after a quarter of an hour, the ministers came out one after another. Cen Zhuo saw that the six elders of the cabinet were all there, and they were all worried. Among them, Wang Zhongxu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, looked particularly ashamed.Li Jingchen and Dun Wang came out last, with very different expressions on their faces.

King Dun will definitely not give up this opportunity to add insult to injury, as can be seen from his complacent expression.

Li Jingxuan was walking alone in the corridor, feeling very depressed, when he passed by Cen Zhuo, he stopped for a while, staring at her brightly, his eyes were filled with various emotions that he could not express.Cen Zhu really wanted to open it? He hugged her with his arms, but he could only bow when he heard the emperor's call, and moved away from his position to pass her by.

"Do you know why I am here? Did you call me here?"

"I don't know."

"I thought it was feasible to cut the military expenditure that you handed in not long ago, but I refuted you in court. Do you know why?"

"I don't know, but I guess that the emperor's move must have the emperor's intentions, so I dare not say more."

"Don't blame me. In the past, Emperor Tai@zu founded the country with martial arts, and only when Shizu began to implement martial arts. After several generations, the prosperity continued, and Mingjun came forth in succession. However, after the emperor's line was passed down to the No.16 female emperor Li Yiran, the court situation Falling into turmoil, demons and evil spirits appeared frequently, and the country was in chaos and chaos. As a result, the country was in ruins and the people were devastated. My grandfather, Emperor Qingzong, had no choice but to raise troops to wipe out the world, and he relied on the support of the generals of the four directions. With my decades of foundation, I can’t let these meritorious generals feel cold and cause turmoil in the country and society for you alone, do you understand my painstaking efforts?”

"I understand that I will never dare to alienate the emperor and the generals. It's just my duty, and I have to tell the truth."

Both sides are smart people, and the high-sounding words are so? Once said, a tacit understanding was reached.

The emperor showed slight approval, and changed his voice, "Have you heard about the robbery of Fuyin and Fengyin's tax bank? After preliminary investigation, it was the remnants of Fengyin Qixiong. I have already gone to the Department of Princess Hanling The empress dowager has also recommended herself to settle the matter, and I agreed. I plan to send you to assist the empress dowager, and give you the right to report to the front line without going through the cabinet. Do you have any? disagree?"

"I have no objection." He was overjoyed.

"You should pay close attention to the movement ahead, especially the exchanges between the remnants of Northern Xinjiang and the East Palace. If you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately."

"Yes."

All the way out of the palace, Cen Zhu wondered about Li Pinghong's intentions. This? He wanted to send her to monitor Li Jingzhu.It is inappropriate to directly send someone who is King Dun, because it will anger Tu Yuanshan, and sending her, a "helpless" person, is much gentler.Based on the "enemy" situation with the Tu family and the East Palace that she portrayed some time ago, once she finds something abnormal, she will definitely report it to the emperor quickly.

It's a good thing to work hard, but I didn't expect that she was also from the East Palace.

Because he was going to work under Li Jingzhu, Cen Zhu paid a visit to the East Palace as usual before leaving.

Near the gate, I met an old acquaintance, Zhu Tongluo, a little black girl with a dog.Behind her followed a line of armored guards, who seemed to be following her command, but they were sullen.

From the moment he saw Ah Lang, Cen Zhu guessed that she had come to Beijing, so he hurriedly called to stop and started talking with her.A Lang recognized her one step ahead of Zhu Tongluo, and barked at her from afar.Cen Zhu didn't take it seriously, smiled and said to the master: "This? Isn't it the famous Zhu Tongluo? Why are you willing to give up the mountain and come to Beijing?"

Sure enough, Zhu Tongluo also recognized her, so why didn't he give her a good face?Cen Zhu? It's weird to miss her. He didn't take it for granted. He smiled and said, "Huh? Have you found your brother yet?"

"I? I won't talk to you." She dragged A Lang away dismissively.Cen Zhu was a little helpless, he grabbed a guard behind her and asked what happened?The latter replied: "This? Is the cat-catching guerrilla general appointed by the emperor, and he is performing his duty to catch cats?"

"Cat-catcher guerrilla general?" Cen Zhu burst out laughing when he heard the name, leaning on the shaft of the car and laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.The little black girl was stimulated by the laughter, and immediately turned around and walked back, pointing at her angrily, "What are you laughing at? Laughing!"

"I? Laugh, I? Laugh...it's so funny!" Cen Zhu couldn't even catch his breath, and raised his head: "Hahahahahahahahahaha..."

Tears came out.Zhu Tongluo was furious, and Ah Lang was also furious, pawing at the ground.

Cen Zhu wiped the corners of his eyes, "Oh, Cat Catcher General, this is the first time I've heard of this name, huh? Tell me, how did you become this? Cat Catcher General, or? Thank you, I laughed so hard!"

In fact, Zhu Tongluo was able to get this cat-catching general thanks to the gift of the second princess Li Jingxi.

The incident dates back to half a year ago. After Li Jingchen returned to Beijing, he did not forget to help Zhu Tongluo find his elder brother on Crouching Tiger Mountain. After three months of investigation, he finally found the whereabouts of Zhu Tiehammer.It turned out that five years ago when Zhu Tiechui went down the mountain with prey to exchange for food, there happened to be floods in the surrounding counties.Generally, food prices would skyrocket after a catastrophe, and Li Jingxuan suspected that Zhu Tiechui might have gone to farther counties in exchange for more food.So he analyzed the surrounding places where he might go, and sent someone to make an unannounced visit. Sure enough, he found traces in Leyang County, a hundred miles away.

It turned out that he really went to Leyang County to exchange food that day, and entrusted a fellow villager to send a letter to his sister on the mountain, saying that he would go for a few more days on this trip, but who knew that the fellow villager suddenly became malicious when he saw the prey in his hand In addition, he knew that his parents were dead, and there was only one younger sister left in the family, so he moved the idea of ​​murdering for money?After the incident was completed, he buried Zhu Tiechui at the foot of a barren mountain outside Leyang County, took the prey to exchange for money, and then fled.

The investigators suspected that Zhu Tiechui had already been killed, so they falsely claimed that he was involved in a murder case and that he was a heinous person wanted by the government, and offered a reward of one hundred gold for finding his whereabouts.He also said: "Those who bring up their heads to see them will be awarded one hundred taels of gold, and those who only provide clues will be awarded fifty taels of gold." Seeing the money, the fellow asked in the crowd, "How much gold will the person who provides the skeleton get?"

The interviewer laughed and said, "The bones are worthless, so what? You have to identify the authenticity, but they still belong to the clue category, and you can also be awarded fifty gold."

After the fellow countryman left, he immediately sent someone to track him down and arrest him. After extorting a confession through torture, he finally told about the murder and robbery five years ago, and confessed that Zhu Tiechui was buried.

The investigators sent him to the local county government. Because of Li Jingzhu's instruction, the government immediately sentenced him to be executed on the grounds that the crime was particularly serious.And sent the remains of Zhu Tiechui back to Crouching Tiger Mountain.

After Zhu Tongluo witnessed the person who murdered his brother being executed, he finally let go of his obsession for many years, so he thought about going down the mountain to find Li Jingzhu, thanking her for avenging his brother, and seeing the outside world by the way.

After stopping and stopping on the road for several months, she finally arrived in Beijing, and she showed the handkerchief Li Jingchen had given her to the city guards, and she was immediately welcomed into the East Palace.It wasn't until after entering the Eastern Palace that Zhu Tongluo knew Li Jing's true identity.Because of her forthright temperament, informality, and kind heart, she soon won the love of everyone in the East Palace, and Li Jingchen also treated her very differently.This? All of a sudden violated the "taboo" of the second princess.

For no reason there was a little girl younger than herself in the East Palace who called Li Jingchen "sister" and pestered her every day. The second princess suddenly felt a sense of crisis and tried to find excuses to fight against her.It became the first name in Zhu Tongluo's most unpopular list.

This time Li Jingchen was going to Langshan to quell the rebellion, and Zhu Tongluo planned to go with him.Li Jingxi felt aggrieved in her heart, and it was fine if she couldn't go, but this little black girl wanted to go with her, so how could she?So he made a side note and asked Li Pinghong to give her the position of "cat-catching guerrilla general", and keeping her in Beijing would not be able to go to the front line.And Li Jingxi himself is known as the "supervisor of the cat-catching guerrillas", and is in charge of her attendance every day to prevent her from escaping.

The little girl is unhappy because of this matter.

Cen Zhu burst out laughing again after hearing this, his voice startled a green-robed official who came out of the East Palace.

"It turned out to be Mr. Cen. Is Mr. Cen here to visit His Highness? Why do you linger here?"

Cen Zhu recognized the person as Liao Shishen, an aide of the Eastern Palace, and it is said that this time he also accompanied him to suppress the rebellion.Huan? He said politely: "I'm about to go, and when I meet an acquaintance on the road, I will come down to catch up on the past?"

"Oh? Master Cen also knows Miss Zhu?"

Cen Zhu didn't like his "peeping" eyes, so he hummed calmly, "We've only met a few times, so we're not very close."

Zhu Tongluo groaned, then glared at her again, and called Liao Shishen affectionately, "Brother Liao!"

It turned out that he was the person Li Jingzhu sent to investigate Zhu Tongluo's brother, and Zhu Tongluo was very grateful to him.He was the person whom I liked the most besides Li Jingchen.

Liao Shishen responded with a smile, looking very kind.He just secretly observed the expressions of the two of them, as if there was a festival, and he no longer doubted it at the moment.After saying goodbye, he left.

Before parting, Cen Zhu hooked his hands at Zhu Tongluo, "Do you really want to follow? I? I have a plan to ensure your escape from the capital. Do you want to hear it?"
