Chapter 47, Red Lotus Blood

"Botou Mohua was killed by the Dongzhou garrison 20 years ago."

The name of imperial concubine is not as famous as Lihua nobles outside the palace. There are no scripts or rumors that mention her. An ordinary daughter from a family, a normal marriage, Qunfang Xuanyan, she is not outstanding, not much. An outsider has seen the real face, and his appearance is based on the rumors.

"Song Guifei..." Yu Jinyan said: "I have seen her a few times before. She married into the royal residence at that time, and she had a quarrel with the main family of the Song family in Dongzhou, and even severed the relationship. According to the genealogy of the Song family , may not be able to find her."

A daughter from an aristocratic family, married into the palace with her family background, her biggest reliance should be on her own family. This noble concubine has been removed from her name, but she can step on other women to climb up to the imperial concubine position. Presumably, she has some ability.

"Why did you break off the relationship?" Lu Chengyan asked.

"Leaving home without a mediator and no employment, of course, it's nothing, the point is..." Yu Jinyan changed the subject: "He has a murder case on his back."

The marriage many years ago has been covered up and turned into an old matter buried in the ground. No one can know the whole picture unless someone who has personally experienced it.

Yu Jinyan then said: "When the first emperor was alive, the palace didn't talk about selection and appointment. If there is someone you like, you should get married if you are in love with each other. But this Song noble concubine..."

He paused for a moment, and then said: "It's not where my heart belongs, or in other words, the nobles in the palace are favored and unfavored. None of them will be the one he preferred at that time."

Nine times out of ten, the emperor's marriage did not go according to his wishes, but the first emperor lifted the most restrictive aspect on his own, almost letting his heirs marry by themselves. At this point, it is estimated that he is the one he prefers, and he doesn't care much about him anymore.

"Daughter of the Yan family..." Yu Jinyan's voice was almost indistinguishable from the wind, "She died that year."

Yujing Yan's family, Lu Chengyan suddenly turned around.

It was not a huge family, but the decline of the population would not damage the reputation. Mr. Fengchen had two sons and two daughters, each of whom could be said to be famous all over the world.

The son of Fengchen had just taken the title and disappeared without a trace. After all these years of his disappearance, he was still missed by the hearts of the people in the city. Once his family was ruined, even though too many people had seen his shadow jumping off the embankment back then, But no one would say that he had passed away.

That was almost a firm thought, no matter whether they were deceiving themselves or not, the people in the capital turned their heads and said: "In the distance, you are living well, the son is auspicious, the heavens will love you."

Chen Nian Mi Xin, who had just come across such a corner, had already sensed the bloody wind and blood, and Jin Mingwei continued to fight at night with lights on, and those who sat and lay down, and even hung on the rafters, were all carrying files and ledgers that were palm-thick.

Someone even set up a bed with a flipped book, kicked his legs, and glanced quickly.

During the daytime, there are many other yamen who come to visit, and it is three poles in the sun before someone rushes to make a move with their clothes on their heels. After handing over the paperwork, the people disappear. It is not until the sun sets and cools down that the living people in this courtyard come one after another. Walking up, the spirit head is still very strong.

Haiyinlian's body has been examined over and over again, and the conclusion is still suicide. The author did not find anything new, and looked at Haiyinlian with her chin resting. Watched it a thousand times from head to toe.

"Nails..." Lu Chengyan stepped into the door and asked, "Why are her nails like this?"

The whole body was covered in white, the white cloth stretched from the feet to the neck, only the ten fingers were covered with a layer of blood, the layer of red never faded.

"Kou Dan, general, have you seen anything in your boudoir? Girls like to paint it, and there are dozens of colors."

"This color..." Lu Chengyan said again: "Is there anything unusual? It looks a little special."

"Uh, I really don't understand this, but according to me, this color is not uncommon, in the palace..."

The hall was silent for a moment, Yu Zuo shut his mouth tightly, Yu Jinyan took a few steps quickly, picked out a needle from his sleeve, the uninterrupted sound of pages turning came from the front hall, Yu Jinyan squatted down with his robe in his arms, and used a The needle surface, which was so thin that it was almost invisible, picked up a layer of bright red floating on the surface. Before he could speak, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground in the front hall.

Someone came out of the window in the front hall, slammed into the door with heavy boots all the way, and lowered his voice: "Botou Mohua!"

"What?" Wu Zuo was confused, and went to uncover the food box he had placed in the corner. The half-cooled walnut cheese was placed in a bowl: "What's the matter? What is the way? Who broke my bowl?"

He ate smoothly, ignoring the suddenly downcast faces of the people around him, the needle surface brushed the first layer, scraped off the second layer, and cut off the third layer of nail surface, unexpectedly saw a half-full red lotus in it , it blooms silently hidden in the nails, the color is too rich and treacherous, and the atmosphere is frozen for a while.

"Botou Mohua..." Lu Chengyan said, "It was killed by the Dongzhou garrison 20 years ago."

"It's almost a spark." Yu Jinyan withdrew his hand and threw the needle directly into the fire.

"What, what, what charades!" The young Zuo yelled vaguely.

"Botou Mohua originally refers to the red lotus in the scriptures. At that time, pagans gathered congregants and used the red lotus as their emblem. What they want to prove is..." The visitor held up the case and said in a low tone, "The method of killing. "

"When I checked the prison documents, I found that the thief who was detained in the prison had entered the Xuerong Spring Garden. After going out, he was unconscious. The next day, he went to the prison and threw himself into the trap.

According to him, there is a river of fire and blood in the basement of the opera building, and it is there that the congregation gathers and executes the traitors.Obviously, no one believed him. "

At that time, the opera building was smelling of heavy powder, and the testimony of the hairy thief naturally did not seem to have much basis.

It's not impossible to check the case and find it in the bed tent, and write it off the next day.

"If she is a traitor..." Lu Chengyan turned his finger to point at the corpse: "The people in Xuerongchun Garden will definitely execute her immediately, and committing suicide in the street is also possible. But she is a girl from Yunzhou, and she is also young. It's the first time I'm born in Zhongzhou, so I shouldn't have the Koudan color that is only painted in the palace."

When he first entered Zhongzhou, he died in the west. It is impossible to sigh. The mystery of this corpse is more and more entangled. I don't know how many clues can be pulled out from the documents.

Even a thin layer of Koudan color is very complicated in the circle of ladies. What color is popular nowadays, what color is used by people, what red is the most noble red, and red tape. Can't figure it out.

"Are there any sisters in the general's family?"

"One went north, the other..." Lu Chengyan remembered Shang Hengzhi's thick black eyebrows, and stopped talking.

A few people faced silence, and it is not easy to ask people for clues mixed with murder. From top to bottom in Jin Mingwei, there are young men who do not mix with the circle of ladies. They are at a loss for a quarter of an hour. Yu Jinyan's half-asleep aunts and sisters were recruited from the imperial guard camp.

"Do you understand?" Yu Jinyan lowered his voice.

"This color—" she also lowered her voice: "It comes from the palace, the top grade among the top grades."

"Have you seen anyone paint it?"

"It should be the same in the palace. The ranks of the nobles go up, but it's too common for them to reward others on a whim."

The clues are always intermittent, the conversation ends without a problem, there are not many nobles in the palace, there are only one empress, one Song Guifei, one Lihua nobleman, and a not very favored Zhaohua nobleman. It is four.

But the entry and exit in the palace is too complicated, no one will stare at everyone and draw all the paths they go in and out to buy.Where did this sea silver lotus get such a brilliant red color?

-

There was a dead silence in the camp, and the Bilianbo grass moved out of the water turned to ashes the moment it came out of the water, like foam, leaving only a pile of debris floating on the water.

The illusory land seems to be unable to fully connect with reality, no matter whether it is fish, shrimp, grass blades, or even a handful of soil, they cannot be brought out of the ground in good condition.

There were still grass seeds remaining on Zhou Tan's palm. He slowly wiped the grass seeds off the two people's belts, and put them into his own bottles and jars.

Grass seeds float among the water droplets and do not cling to the soil.

Mani was staring at Tuoxia's mural in a daze, with an eagle squatting on top of her head. There was a whistling in front of the door, and the big shaman stormed in: "Where is the master?!"

His precious apprentice squinted at him: "What master? You can come back quickly enough after crossing mountains and ridges."

He was still stepping on the snowy water of Yanshan Mountain, and he was drenched all the way. He took a few breaths and pressed Mani's head: "Stargazer, there was a letter the day before yesterday, saying that he found the corpse of the stargazer."

"Under the water..." Mani slapped his hand away: "Just under that naozi, what does that stargazer have to do with you? He really is your master. You're bluffing me. Your master is very virtuous." , why are you ignorant and cheating all day long?"

"How do you talk to the master?"

Mani tilted her head, dodged the slap, and shouted loudly: "Lang Jun—my master is back—don't you have something to look for?"

The big shaman stared at him, and before he could scold the traitor, he ran away with his feet splashing in the water.

Zhou Tan lifted the curtain and came out, only to see a shadow of billowing smoke and dust. The young girl with two bundles in front of the door squatted on the ground. When she saw Zhou Tan, she raised her head: "Oh--"

She has an exceptionally round head, a pair of surprisingly round eyes, and her long hair is combed into two braids, poking straight into the sky in a daze.Zhou Tan squatted down and asked softly, "Who are you?"

"Ma--wind--"

Zhou Tan choked, his shoulders trembled slightly: "What's in the bag?"

"The great shaman said..." She said in a childish voice, "You are going to marry the maharaja, so I pried a little gold from him."

Throwing a lump of shapeless gold on the palm of his hand, Zhou Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "What's more, what's in the cup?"

"breast--"

Zhou Tan's saliva finally spewed out, He Lianyun held his shoulder and dragged him away a few inches, helplessly: "She's talking about milk."

The author says:

An old joke shared by students from Xinjiang, but every time I hear it, I laugh.

Botou Mohua = Honglian, I borrowed this place as the name of the sect, and it is another day of magic reform.
