Late at night, thunder rumbles and lightning strikes. It was still sunny at noon, but now a thunderstorm came unexpectedly.
The stream rose, and the small building was filled with the wind with the smell of water and grass. A thousand paper cranes tied with hair fly on the edge of the window. A few drops of rain are swept into the bedroom by the strong wind.
On the other hand, Qin Mu Bai takes Chen Yan in his arms, pulls a piece of thin silk over her naked body, kisses her forehead and asks, "is it cold?"
"Still sweating." Chen Yan's face was red, her eyes were silky, and her mouth was still panting.
Farewell wins newlyweds, just staged a fire, now two people are a little tired. So I sleep and listen to the wind and rain.
"It's all done?" After a long time, Chen Yan asked softly.
"It's still early." Qin mubai said, "these days, Li Ke and Quan Wanji, together with the officials of the assassin's family, are thoroughly investigating the Shuigui gang. Pick a gourd and pull out a string of vines. There are too many people involved. Whether it's Junfu or Cishi Fu, including local squires and merchants, there are many big people involved except the small ones. If all of them are captured and killed, Xiangzhou will be in trouble, and the army will not be able to suppress it. Therefore, the case is solved, but how to deal with the aftermath is really a headache. "
Chen Yanjing for a long time, said: "I don't understand things in officialdom. I only know that interrogation is a matter of the assassin's office. Don't interfere too much. It's easy to hide a clear spear, but hard to defend a hidden arrow. If you set up too many enemies, it's not good for you. "
"I know that." Qin mubai smiles and pats her on the back. He said, "tomorrow the governor's palace will hold a banquet. Will you come with me?"
"You don't know. I don't like that occasion."
"It's just that the princess wants to make a special trip to thank you, and she doesn't want you to mix with us men. Why don't you go there? How to say, you are also her mother and daughter's life-saving benefactor
"Shouldn't she thank you?" Chen Yan smile, "I just ran errands for you, everything, is not your arrangement?"
"Well, don't bargain. It's just a meal."
"What about the one next door?" Chen Yan smiles with a warm smile.
"Lady Hua Ha ha Qin mubai said with a smile. "She's all mixed up with you now, you can arrange it!"
"Didn't you promise to introduce her to King Wu's residence?" Chen Yan asked.
"Why, do you agree?" Qin mubai asked, "don't you always dislike her the most?"
Chen Yan gave a pause, with a slightly sad smile: "it's good that I hate her, but there's no reason to really hate her. Although she is not a good person, if she really repents and wants to live a new life, it will be a good thing. How to say, this time she also helped you a little bit
"You said so, I am sorry not to agree?" Qin mubai said with a smile. "I'm just worried that Li Ke has always been a lecherous and romantic woman. If these two people mix up, it's not good if something happens. "
"Worry about it." Chen Yan angrily rebuked and said with a smile, "she should know this sense of propriety and self-knowledge."
"Well, how can you help her to say good things? It's not like you. "
"Nothing. It's just a pity for the fate of the dead. " Chen Yan's light way.
"Ha ha!" Qin Mu Bai laughs, "I see you, it's hard mouth and soft heart!"
The next day, Qin mubai leads the horse in front. Chen Yan and Hua Niangzi follow behind. They leave the building together and go to the assassin's mansion.
It's said that when she went to the assassin's palace for a banquet, Hua Niangzi dressed up deliberately, but she was not in the open chest and exposed style before. Instead, she was dressed in strong clothes, wrapped up tightly, and her hair was tied up with Chen Yan, which was quite capable. However, when she looked at Qin mubai, she was always angry, as if he owed her millions.
"Qin, you are so unkind!" After a few steps, Hua Niang couldn't help saying, "that night I brought Pang Fei. You slipped first!"
"I've said it a hundred times. Are you tired of it?" Qin mubai said slowly, "as the saying goes, it's necessary to guard against people. Am I right to be careful? Moreover, I have already made an appointment with the king of Wu and the king of Qi to meet at the official post of Xinye County in the early morning. If I miss the time, I will miss the important event. "
"Hum!" Flower Niang son hate spit a, "after all, you still don't believe me?"
Qin Mu Bai said, "I didn't say that."
"What's the noise?" Chen Yan light way, "now is not to take you to Assassin Shi Fu, fulfill the promise?"
Flower Niang son immediately changed color and said with a smile: "I know, it's sister you help me intercede, he just agreed. Otherwise, he will eat his words
"Don't get close." Chen Yan said coldly, "if you go to the assassin's mansion, I'll be the first one to forgive you."
"Oh, how come?" Flower lady is still smiling, "this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be a human again. How can I not cherish it? Don't worry, though I'm dissolute, I always know myself well. "
"That's good." Chen Yan glanced at her and said nothing."Hey hey, sister, you are cold faced, kind-hearted, hard spoken and soft hearted." Flower lady chuckles, "elder sister, I know your kindness. I will change my mind and be a new man in the future. My biggest wish now is to find a good man like you to live the rest of my life in peace. No more tossing. "
Chen Yan also does not answer a word, let her all the way feeling garrulous. Three people walk slowly, already arrived in Xiangyang County city. Qin mubai had a whim and said, "go to the flower lady's house."
"Good! I also want to revisit my hometown, hehe The thief laughed and said, "by the way, I'm not the real lady. I won't be Lady Xie any more. My original name is Su Lianqing. "
"Su Lianqing? It's a gentle and graceful name. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "why, people are so coquettish and uninhibited."
"Hum!" Su Lianqing glared at Qin mubai angrily, "it's all things before. I just hope to forget it quickly, and you can't mention it again!"
"Yes, nvxia Su!"
Three people went to spend Niangzi house, saw a person leaning on the door and looking forward to, far away surprise to welcome up: "teacher!"
It's Pang Fei.
Qin mubai slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "how come you're the son-in-law
Chen Yan and Su Lianqing laugh. Pang Fei blushed, scratched his ears, and stammered, "no, no!"
"Do you stand guard in front of people's house in the early morning, the grand general Wupin?" Qin mubai looked at him with great interest. He had to open the pot.
"Cough, cough..." Pang Fei coughed awkwardly and said, "I don't dare to disturb you. I have to wait here for my teacher and report something."
"If you want to tell me something, just tell me." Qin mubai said with a smile.
"I, I think That... " Pang Fei stammered and sometimes glanced at Su Lianqing, his face flushed.
Su Lianqing giggled and came forward and said, "let me talk! This little man, together with the little widow of the flower lady, was detained by me. I dare to say that I have seen the truth in adversity, and that I have decided for the rest of my life, right? "
"Er!..." Pang Fei was so embarrassed that he had a silly smile
Qin mubai laughs: "pangfei, pangfei, you are so promising!"
"No, no!" Pang Fei quickly waved his hand and explained, "Xu Liang is not the kind of person my teacher imagined! She's such a good woman, I won't lie to you! "
"So you don't mind if she's a little widow, and she's been a semi recluse?" Qin mubai asked in a low voice.
"I don't mind!" Pang Fei's answer was firm.
Qin Mu Bai shrugged his brows: "then I don't mind. You tell me. Do you still want me to make the decision for you and promise this brown son's marriage? "
"Yes Pang Feixi said with a smile, "my parents died early, and I have no relatives here in Xiangzhou. My mentor is my only elder. Of course, I'll ask you to make the decision!"
Qin Mu Bai laughed, took a few steps forward with his shoulder, and said, "Pang Fei, who do you like is your freedom. If you think it's worth it, fight for it. If you really have such a big mind and let bygones be bygones to her past, it will certainly help you
"Really, really?" Pang Fei said pleasantly, "I thought that my teacher would oppose me to marry a widow and half hide the door!"
"Do I look like an old fogey?" Qin mubai said with a slight smile, "men and women's affairs, you just like it. Just like the shoes on the feet, only you know whether they fit or not. Go into the hospital and call out the Xu Liang family. Let me have a look. "
"Yes Pang Fei was overjoyed and ran into the hospital.
The three also went in laughing. Before long, Pang Fei took a woman's hand and came near. He could not help but bow to Qin mubaina.
"Xu Liang, the wife of the people, is here to see general Qin." Xu Liang is a typical jasper from Jiangnan, with red lips and white teeth, delicate and tender water, gentle voice and elegant manner.
"Get up!" Qin Mu Bai laughed, looked at Xu Liang's several eyes up and down, nodded and said, "yes, it's worthy of Pang Fei. Pang Fei, in fact, you are one or two years younger than me. Since you respect me as your teacher, I will make the decision for you and promise this marriage. "
"Come on, thank you, master!" Pang Fei was so excited that he took Xu Liangshi to his knees again.
"It's a strange fate. It's a good way to become a man." Qin mubai came forward to lift them up, held their hands together, and said, "after that, your life will change. However, no matter how the world changes, people who sincerely use love should always be the same. I have nothing for you. Only one month's holiday can be granted to Pang Fei I'll honeymoon you
"Honeymoon? What an interesting and appropriate word With a slight smile, Xu Liang saluted Qin mubai and said seriously, "my humble concubine, thank you for general Qin's kindness. My parents gave birth to me and general Qin gave birth to me. In this life and this life, my humble concubine follows my husband, and I serve the general like my father. If I say more than that, heaven will not protect me! ""Well, don't make it so serious!" Qin mubai laughed, "now, I'll borrow your husband's help. Take him to the assassin's mansion, do some work, eat some wine and meat. You don't mind? "
Liang chuckled: "how dare you? It's just It's better without flower wine. "
"Ha ha! The people who are going to get married are different! " Qin mubai and others laugh together and leave huaniangzi's house.
In the Tang Dynasty, people were open-minded, and the concept of chastity was not very strong. Remarriage and remarriage were also very tolerant, which was not as serious as the restriction of Neo Confucianism after the Song Dynasty. Officials and rich families are fashionable, and prostitutes are as common as karaoke.
At the same time, it is not uncommon for famous officials and talented people to marry famous craftsmen and advocate excellence. The world not only does not laugh, but also has some jealousy and envy. thus. Pang Fei's marriage to a little widow, who was half hidden, was not a shocking event. However, there are very few "high-ranking officials" like him who don't care about their family background. There are many famous craftsmen who have married good families, but they can't get rid of the fate of becoming concubines and playthings. Few of them have real feelings and seek happiness.
"Pang Fei, you are still a kind man." On the way, Qin mubai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Liang followed you, which is also her nature."
"It's my destiny, hehe!" Pang Fei said with an embarrassed smile. "Actually She is a good woman
"Well, if it's good, cherish it. Don't let it down." Qin mubai nods and smiles.
"Well!" Pang Fei nodded heavily.
"Ah --" Su Lianqing sighed behind them, "I'm jealous!! If I had known, I would have put you in separate custody. At most, it would have been more troublesome. Then I'll go out and take you little man. Is it not my mother who has become the general's wife today
Everyone laughed together.
Qin Mu's mouth grinned and said, "don't tell me, they are really thanks to you. or You can be their matchmaker
Su Lianqing was so disgusted that she spat and said coldly, "I haven't married yet. Matchmakers are all those old women who are seventy or eighty years old. I won't do it!"
Joking all the way, people have arrived at the assassin's mansion.
The assassin's office has been very busy these days. Day and night lights are not out, people do not remove their armour, horses do not remove their saddles, has been busy dealing with the case of water ghost, prison overcrowded, but also temporarily opened up many prisons.
At the end of the case, it's all about the assassin's office. Li Ke is very busy. Where can Qin mubai be so relaxed. Finally, Li you, the king of Qi, got half of his spare time. In addition, Li you, the king of Qi, went to Xiangzhou from Jingzhou to deal with his affairs. So he put on a banquet and invited Qin mubai and others.
The guard at the gate is Yuwen Hongtai. A few days ago, he had a good fight on the Bank of Jingzhou river. He was so powerful that all the soldiers in the palace admired him and praised him for his bravery. Now he is walking with his head high, and he always looks like a hero.
"Ha ha, brother Qin is here! Oh, and nvxia Chen, rare guest, rare guest This one. How to call it? " Yuwen Hongtai strides forward and speaks like a bell.
"Why, what a man of the wild!" Su Lianqing frowned, looked up and down, and tut tut said, "King Wu is such a romantic figure, how can his subordinates be so reckless?"
"What are you talking about?" Yuwen Hongtai stares at him and says, "this is What do you call it? It's "rough" and "bold". It's the same with men! Up and down the house, all said I was a good man! You're the only one who doesn't know what to do! "
"Oh, I haven't been called" little girl "for some time." Su Lianqing turns around Yuwen Hongtai with great interest. He poked him with his elbow and said, "good man, what are you doing in King Wu's mansion? Are you a big official?"
Qin mubai and Chen Yan look at each other with a smile, shake their heads together, ignore these two people, and go straight to the mansion with Pang Fei.
As soon as Su Lianqing saw that Qin mubai and others had left, he was eager to catch up. He turned his eyes and said in a delicate voice, "good man, I'll have a good chat with you when I have time!"
Yuwen Hongtai trembles all over. When he comes back, Su Lianqing has trotted after Qin mubai. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Murmur a way: "Qin three elder brother side, how can always come out so beautiful little girl?"? This one is also very coquettish, woo I don't have this blessing! "
When they entered the palace, there were a lot of servants and soldiers, who were very busy. However, Li Ke came out in person, laughing from a distance: "ha ha! Our great heroes are here at last
Qin mubai welcomed him with a smile.
The people in the house looked at the scene and were confused: a few days ago, the two people were still fighting each other, so they had to cut each other off? Today, it's like a pair of brothers again.
After chatting with Qin mubai, Li Ke looks at Chen Yan gratefully and nods: "nvxia Chen, I want to thank you for your kindness."
"Your Highness, that's very important." Chen Yan said with a smile, "I'm just running errands. It's mubai who plans and arranges. You should thank him.""Oh, you are really looking at him everywhere!" Li Ke laughs, looks at Su Lianqing again, and says to Qin mubai, "is this lady Hua?"
"To be more specific, it's a fake flower lady. The people in the river and lake call it lady Yaoxie, whose real name is Su Lianqing. " Qin mubai said.
"See your Royal Highness the king of Wu!" Su Lianqing was still a little nervous. He fell down in a hurry.
"Get up. No one convicts you. You're not a criminal. Besides, you've done a lot of good. " Li Ke said with a smile.
"I "Great contribution?" Su Lianqing was stunned for a moment.
"Of course." Qin mubai's mysterious smile.
"Because I put Pang Fei and Hua Niang back?" Su Lianqing asked.
"More than that." Qin mubai smiles, "if it wasn't for you, I still can't judge who is the real song Cao master. You said, "isn't this a great achievement?"
"Even I don't know who song Cao master is, and when did I help you?" Su Lianqing was at a loss.
Qin mubai and Li Ke laughed at the same time. Li Ke said, "come in and sit down. Let's have a chat while tasting tea! The king of Qi had just gone out on the street, and he came back when he was young. When he comes back. Let's have another dinner! "
"Yes
When the party entered the hall, Li Ke, in accordance with his old habit, set up a stove to cook tea, as well as a lot of silk and bamboo music.
"Hey, tell me quickly, how can I help you find out the real song Cao master?" Su Lianqing was puzzled and asked Qin mubai.
"It's very simple. Because some of your behavior, let me see their biggest flaw Qin mubai smiles.
"What flaw?"
"That day, Pang Fei and Zhao Chong went to Xiangyang County together, and then went to Hua Niangzi's house together?" Qin mubai said.
"Exactly." Pang Fei answered.
Qin mubai said with a smile: "the biggest flaw is here. If Zhao Chong is not a water ghost, how can he take Pang Fei to lady Hua? Su Lianqing. How can you set up an ambush there in advance and just wait for people to be arrested? After that, Pang Fei and the real flower lady fall into your hands. However, Zhao Chong also disappeared. Isn't that a cover up? "
"What do you mean, I don't understand." Su Lianqing and others shook their heads in confusion.
Li Ke said with a smile: "first of all, Zhao Chong takes Pang Fei into the trap already laid by the water ghost, which is enough to confirm that he is a water ghost. At this time, in order to cover up the location of Pang Fei's disappearance, he also disappeared, making a false appearance of being kidnapped at the same time. Later, you su Lianqing told Qin mubai that you only caught Pang Fei and Hua Niangzi. This is to make it clear to Qin mubai that Zhao Chong is also a water ghost. "
"Let me really make sure that Zhao Chong is the leader of song Cao, and there are some other flaws." Qin mubai said, "that is, when I went back to the Junfu to make arrangements and re selected Du Chengyuan's confidant to take over the commander of the water army, the water ghost strangely released Zhao Chong. Oh, the reason why Zhao Chongzhi is missing is to cover up that Pang Fei's kidnapping is related to him, and to let himself out of my sight and control everything behind the scenes. But he was also worried about how he would clear the suspicion in front of me when the water devil released people after we finished the transaction. So, he made a false appearance of water ghost to deceive me. At the same time, it is convenient for him to go back to the barracks and personally direct the water army to participate in the grain trade. "
"It turns out that Zhao Chong is the leader of the Song Dynasty?" Many people exclaimed together.
"Of course." Qin mubai said with a smile, "from the beginning, he was very close to us. For a time, I thought that he could win over our camp. Obviously, he also saw my intention, so he deliberately co starred with Du Chengyuan in a good play of pretending division, which made me work harder to fight for him. Thus, also completely believe him. Chen Yan, do you remember the two people I told you before that I have been doubting, and I have never doubted before? "
Chen Yan nodded: "one is Zhou Laojiu, the head of yamen, the other is Zhao Chong, right?"
"Yes." Qin Mu Bai nodded, "from that time on, I doubted that one of the two men must be the master of song Cao. Because from the beginning, they were closest to me. As the saying goes, the darkest place under the oil lamp is the safest. They. I'm not timid, and I'm really smart. At first, I was really cheated by them. However, there is no seamless garment in the world. No matter how ingenious the scheme is, there are always flaws. From Su Lianqing, I made clear at least two things: first, Zhou Laojiu was a water ghost's accomplice; second, Zhao Chong was probably the real song Cao master. So she made a great contribution. "
Su Lianqing took a deep breath and shook his head: "you man. It's horrible! No mountain, no dew, nothing can escape your eyes, everything is clear in your heart! Fortunately, I really repent and come to surrender. If you only deliberately cheat your trust, don't you die miserably now? "
Li Ke said with a strange smile: "therefore, even Ben Wang doesn't play tricks with him. He always follows his advice."
"Is it?" As soon as Su Lianqing's eyes brightened, he hit the snake and said, "did general Qin mention to his highness that he would recommend me to come to the Wu palace for a job, and then abandon the evil and follow the good?"Li Ke burst out laughing: "I have mentioned it, but the palace doesn't need female officers or soldiers. This is a great embarrassment to me. "
Su Lianqing was disappointed, and his eyes were dim.
"But." Li Ke changed his words and said with a smile, "after this, I feel that there is no one around the princess to take care of and protect her, especially those women who are highly skilled in martial arts and capable. Su Lianqing, if you like, be a maid to the princess
"Ah! ——”Su Lianqing was overjoyed and fell down in the hall, "thank your Highness for your tolerance! Thank general Qin for his kindness again! In this life and this life, Su Lianqing never forgets her teeth. She has to make up her mind to repay her life and death! "
Qin Mu Bai grinned and said: it turns out that the beauty of becoming a man is very happy. It's just a little work, but it's a little bit better than the hand blade murderer!
