Chapter 82

Although the courtyard of the bodyguard's office is large, accounting for almost one sixth of the Tai Chi palace, there are no more than five people who are qualified to live alone in a small courtyard in this courtyard. Since the deputy commander who broke his arm made Meng invincible return, he has been recuperating at home. Although his career has not been broken, it is difficult to go further.

The commander Luo Weiran didn't kill him. Maybe he was still reading some old feelings. But this is the stain that Meng Wudi will never wipe off. Luo Weiran can no longer regard him as a confidant.

Therefore, the solitary courtyards in the front yard of the big internal guard office, which seemed to be somewhat empty, were even more lonely without Meng Wudi. But some people were surprised that before long, Meng Wudi's empty yard was occupied.

It may not be shocking that Meng Wudi's yard is occupied by others. What's surprising is the identity of the person who lives in it.

You know, Meng Wudi is the worst person who can live alone in a yard in the Imperial Guard Office. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard Office.

But the new owner of this small courtyard is only a thousand households.

According to the internal level of the bodyguard, thousands of households have a high status. But it is by no means to have such a privilege. At least... The other six thousand households in the Imperial Guard Office do not have such a privilege.

This man is also the first female thousand household in the history of the Imperial Guard.

Her name spread all over the bodyguard's office almost the moment she lived in the single yard. People in the backyard love yamen were shocked, and then deeply remembered the woman's name in their hearts.

Bathe small waist

If the people in the bodyguard know that she has only five grades of strength, I'm afraid it will be more shocked.

Since Mu Xiaoyao lived in the yard, the layout and decoration of the yard have changed. The previously luxurious items were cleared out, leaving only a bookshelf, a desk and a few chairs. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall were replaced by a big red skirt, which was eye-catching and enchanting.

This dress is a symbolic dress before she bathes her small waist and enters the bodyguard. She has many such clothes with the same style. Perhaps only she remembered that when she first put on such a long skirt, a teenager looked straight and drooled.

He is not stingy with praise, but all he remembers is his eyes.

The red skirt hanging on the wall was the one she wore on the day she separated from Fang Xie.

After most of the five products in the house were cleaned out, it seemed a little empty and even simple. Such an arrangement is obviously inconsistent with the status represented by the small courtyard. Even looking at those things cleaned out makes others feel inexplicably sad that tea will be cold as soon as people leave.

But mu Xiaoyao didn't care about these. She didn't consider whether it was cruel at all. There was nothing in the house that she liked, so there was no need to stay. How does Meng Wudi, who is recuperating at home, think? She is more lazy to think about it.

Sitting on the chair, Mu Xiaoyao looked at the red skirt on the wall and was so stunned that she didn't even notice Mr. Zhuo walking slowly into the yard.

I don't know if she really didn't feel it, or if she knew it was Zhuo Buyi.

After entering the room, Zhuo Buyi glanced, and then couldn't help shaking his head slightly. The woman sitting on the chair in front of him was too independent to pay attention to many taboos in officialdom. Such a person, especially a woman, if there is no support behind him, his end is mostly bleak.

If Meng Wudi knew that his things had been cleared out, his hatred would be too strong to melt. Although he has lost power, he is still the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. Even Luo Weiran couldn't stand on Mu Xiaoyao's side if he insisted on it.

She is only a thousand households, and she is also a thousand households with very low strength.

"Your friend..."

Zhuo Buyi opened her mouth and hesitated how to continue. But mu Xiaoyao's reaction surprised him. The cold and indifferent woman suddenly turned her head and asked eagerly, "what's the matter with him?"

"Not him..."

Zhuo Buyi shook her head, sat down on the chair opposite Mu Xiaoyao and said in a deep voice: "Before you went to see Fang Xie yesterday, I told you that the person who cheated Fang Xie out of Chang'an may really be a servant of the military headquarters. Some people in the military headquarters want to get rid of Fang Xie. Your commander in fan Gu has been suppressed, and there are still people who don't let Fang Xie go at this time... I don't think Yu Donglai, the waiter of the military headquarters, means that he can see the overall situation and smell clues Those who are not going to make trouble for the Ministry of war and your majesty at this time. "

"It's easy to find out. Just find out who has something to do with you in the military department. If you have no direct connection, find out who has something to do with fan Gu in the border city. The most complicated thing is to find out who has something to do with Li Xiaozong and Li Yuanshan. But at the beginning, your majesty killed the military department. All the people associated with Li Yuanshan, including the waiter Hou Junci, were beheaded …”

Zhuo Buyi sighed: "I said, don't rush to do anything. I'll find out about it. After finding out, I'll try to solve it. But your missing friend obviously did too much... Last night... Someone rushed into the military headquarters Yamen and killed the triple gate in one breath, killing 104 people, including three seven and eight masters. The people who broke into the military headquarters were also seriously injured, although they were in a hurry The nine strong men who went ran away, but it is estimated that there are more or less bad luck. "

Mu Xiaoyao fiercely stood up and said firmly after a few seconds of silence: "I'm going to see Fang Xie."

"I can't hold it for long."

Zhuo Buyi shook her head and motioned her to sit down: "I didn't tell the commander and the governor. But it's not very difficult for them to find out who it is. If your friend dies, I'll tell the commander. I can find an excuse to prevaricate it. It can even be said that Jianghu people hate the imperial court and Mongolian Yuan people's Revenge, as long as your majesty is willing to believe it. But if she is I'm not dead. It's not just the imperial guard who's staring at this. "

"People from Dali temple, the Ministry of punishment, including the Yamen of the Ministry of war, are investigating. Therefore, Dali temple and the Ministry of punishment have sent out a large number of experts. Chang'an city is very big, but it can't carry their cleaning and investigation like ploughing."

Mu Xiaoyao's eyes were slightly cold, looked at Zhuo Buyi and asked word by word: "Sir, what you mean is that Shen qingfan must die?"

Zhuo Buyi didn't answer, but nodded.

Mu Xiaoyao sneered and turned to the door: "Sir, I made a mistake just now. Shen qingfan is not my friend, but my opponent... But even so, if someone wants to kill her, kill me first. Even if we don't get along again, it's our own."

She stopped without looking back: "if Mr. wants to catch me, please wait until I see Fang Xie. The grudges between us are our business, but death... Would rather die together. I think... Fang Xie would think so."

She walked away without hesitation.

Zhuo Buyi looked at her back and couldn't help smiling bitterly. He shook his head mockingly and said, "such a temperament will suffer a lot sooner or later."

"You really valued her and moved your mind?"

Someone asked.

Zhuo Buyi was not surprised at all, although there was only mu Xiaoyao in the room before he entered the courtyard, and the man who spoke came out of the room.

"She'll be the best. Give me time."

He said.

The people who came out of the house picked a peach from the peach tree in the small yard, took out a white handkerchief, wiped it and bit it.

Sour, astringent, these two flavors are so strong that people frown.

The men who can eat green peaches don't care. They chew very carefully and even have fun.

"You know, I won't help her because of your empty words. I can't see anything good for our internal guard office. Even if she is the person you like, I won't help. If something happens to me in the future will threaten the internal guard office, you can eradicate me without hesitation. The same..."

The man looked at Zhuo Buyi and said seriously, "don't let the big internal guard fall into passivity. It's too big for anyone to bear his Majesty's anger."

"But... I'll tell your Majesty in three days. I haven't found out what's going on. But three days at most, because Hou Wenji will give me three days of face."

He turned away with a gentle pace.

Luo Weiran didn't know when to appear in the courtyard or even in the house. Maybe he was already in the courtyard or even in the house before Mu Xiaoyao left. Or when she sat in a chair and stared at the red dress, he stood behind her and looked at her.

Mu Xiaoyao left, so she didn't know that this man had come. If she knew, in addition to the creepy fear, she was afraid of a greater blow to her self-confidence.

……

Chang Chunyuan

The green wood lined garden is full of beautiful scenery, because some impatient emperors in the court and government go out of the study and take a walk along the stone steps. The wind blows through the woods and brings a refreshing breath to his body, which makes his heart quiet a lot.

Eunuch Su Buwei carefully followed him with a pen in the imperial study.

The emperor went to the rockery and looked at the high mountain engraved on it. It was difficult to climb into the cloud. It was difficult to climb up and down. He took steps to stabilize the sixteen words and frowned slightly. He suddenly felt it necessary to chisel out the sixteen words. He was even more annoyed when he looked at it. But after three steps out, his expression was stunned, and his frown eased down.

Behind the rockery is a lotus pond, which is a good time for lotus to bloom. Lotus blossoms in the green pond are pleasing to the eyes.

"Su Buwei"

"Where are the slaves?"

Su Buwei hurried forward and bowed to wait for the emperor's orders.

"Tomorrow I'll find a craftsman to change the sixteen words on the rockery... Just change the last two words. The four words" steady and safe "are not good. Sometimes if you are too stable, you become cowardly."

"To what?"

Su Buwei asked.

"Turn the last two words into raw lotus."

After the emperor finished his command, he looked back at the rockery, walked forward and went out.

Growing lotus step by step

Su Buwei didn't understand the meaning of the word.

The Changchun Garden is very big and the emperor is very busy. Since the garden was built, the emperor has not really seen it carefully. Looking out from his study, he can only see the rockery, not the lotus pond behind. If he didn't want to go out today, he still didn't know there was a cave behind the rocks, so he felt some emotion. He has been conscientious and walking on thin ice since he took office for 11 years, and has come to the garden every year Summer, but I don't know what the garden looks like.

"Your Majesty..."

Su Buwei glanced back and saw that Luo Weiran was caught up by the commander of the bodyguard, and hurriedly reminded him, "you summoned Luo Weiran, and the man has arrived."

"Well"

The emperor, um, walked slowly into a pavilion and sat down. One side of the pavilion is the lotus pond. The blue waves are rippling, and the pink dotted in the emerald green is particularly eye-catching. The emperor even had an impulse to draw the beautiful scenery, and then thought that he had not touched the brush for four or five years. When he first ascended the throne, he occasionally drew a favorite landscape in the imperial study to meditate. After the throne was stable, he didn't touch the brush and ink painting again.

The method used to meditate in the past seems to be useless now.

"Your Majesty"

Luo Weiran walked quickly to the outside of the pavilion and kowtowed in good order.

"Get up, you have a lot to do. To make a long story short... What do you think of the case that the military headquarters was almost killed? Although I entrusted the matter to Dali temple and the Ministry of punishment, none of them can match you in terms of experience. You have also been to the military headquarters for autopsy. Can you see what the person who took the shot is?"

Luo Weiran was silent. The emperor looked at him and his face was a little unhappy.

"I thought..."

Luo Weiran took a deep breath, lowered his head and said word by word: "it should be the assassin sent by the Mongolian Yuan Empire."

The answer was obviously a lie, but the emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Why?"

Asked the emperor.

"The people of the northern Liao Dynasty wanted to be subordinates to his majesty. Naturally, the people of Meng Yuan were unhappy, so they sent troops to attack the border city of fan Gu, but they were defeated by Li Yuanshan, the general of the right Xiaowei. The thieves of Meng Yuan were unwilling, so they sent peerless experts to sneak into the military headquarters to try to steal the defense map of the border army of the great Sui Dynasty. Stealing the map naturally meant to attack the great Sui Dynasty. After the experts of Meng Yuan sneaked into the military headquarters, they were on duty The military attache noticed that under the scuffle, the army lost more than 100 people, but also killed the experts sent by Meng Yuan and prevented the Meng Yuan people from stealing the map. "

When saying these words, Luo Weiran's body trembled slightly.

He was gambling. When he looked up and saw a slight smile on his Majesty's mouth, he knew he was right. Your majesty needs such a reason now.

But soon the smile on the emperor's mouth disappeared.

The emperor stood up and stood with his hands on his back.

"Luo Weiran, the truth you answered is very good. I am very satisfied. But this truth is for the people of the Sui Dynasty, not for me. It will also be the truth found out by the Dali temple and the Ministry of punishment... But I want more than this. If you can't find out who broke into the military headquarters at night and killed in seven days, I will withdraw your commander of the Imperial Guard Office. No It's just you... Don't do Hou Wenji's town envoy. "

The emperor turned to Luo Weiran and said in a dignified tone, "the Sui Dynasty has been established for a hundred years. There has never been such a humiliation. The Yamen of the military department has been bloody washed... I want to know what kind of people have much hatred for the military department before they take risks. If the people of the Sui Dynasty do it, I will be sad in addition to anger."

"What I want is not only the murderer, but also whether there is something dirty hidden in the military headquarters."

He looked up at the blue sky.

"Whoever prevents me from doing what I want to do and what I have to do at this time, I will let him never exceed his life."
