Chapter 45 The voice from a yandere (two chapters in one)
"Brother, will I come to Wanfu Temple to find you from now on? Apart from Wanfu Temple and that grocery store, where else can I trust you?" Zhao Shiqing asked.
Zhao Tinghan told them one by one: "Wanfu Temple is supported by the Liang Prince's Mansion. There are twenty-five monks in the temple, all of whom are orphans adopted by the abbot. However, people's hearts are hard to pity. Even outside the world of mortals, there will inevitably be people who commit crimes, so , my whereabouts here have not been made public
If you want to deal with them in the future, just look for these four people.
The first is the Master Abbot. Although he is from outside the country, he also has a family background. His ancestral home is Liangdi. In the past, his father was framed and murdered by his biological mother and brothers, and the family property was seized. His mother and sister were humiliated and committed suicide. Grandfather When he was out on patrol, he was only thirteen years old. He stopped the street and complained. His grandfather accepted the complaint and ordered people to go to the local area to re-investigate the case, punish the real culprit severely, and clear his father's name.
After becoming a monk, he traveled to the capital and later became the abbot of Wanfu Temple, but he was always grateful to the Liang Palace.
Even without me, he will transcend for his father.
The second is Master Tongjing, he is an orphan adopted by the abbot, and he is also the person whom the abbot trusts most;
The third one is Master Tongda, the Zhike monk. When he was young, he was a member of the Royal Guards. The fourth one is Deng Wick. He is now called Hui Deng. However, although he was ordained, he did not receive the ordination, so he can only be regarded as a monk. Lay disciples.
In addition to Wanfu Temple and the grocery store, there are five shops in the capital that are owned by Prince Liang's Mansion. I think you know about these five shops. ”
Zhao Shiqing nodded. These five shops had passed through Ming Road. They were bought by his grandfather when his father came to the capital to be a hostage. All the proceeds were used for his father's pocket. Later, they were replaced by his eldest brother as a hostage. These five shops The shop was given to the eldest brother.
These five shops should have been in Jin Yiwei's little notebook for a long time. If there is any trouble, Jin Yiwei will know about it before Prince Liang's house.
When Zhao Tinghan said this, he suddenly paused. Zhao Shiqing was so clever. She immediately saw a hint of shyness in her eldest brother's eyes.
Brother, what's going on?
But without allowing her to start her reverie, Zhao Tinghan continued: "There is another person who is worthy of trust, but her identity is a bit special. Don't get her involved unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Who is it?" Zhao Shiqing was curious.
Zhao Tinghan took a deep breath and said slowly: "She is Yuan Xiaotang, the daughter of Yuan Jiangcheng, a former doctor in the Ministry of Rites. Her current identity is the widow of Lin Lu, the late uncle of Jiangping County. She temporarily lives in Xiaohanzhuang, thirty miles outside the city. It’s my property.”
Zhao Shiqing was completely petrified.
The widow is a widow. This widow from Jiang Pingbo's house is now living in her brother's village.
Save the baby, the baby can't understand.
"Brother, can you speak more plainly and understandably? I don't understand."
Zhao Tinghan regretted a little. It was right that his sister could not understand. He should discuss this matter with his eldest sister. After all, he and his eldest sister were twins, so it was easier for them to communicate with each other.
Not with my little sister, who is still a child.
But if you say it out loud, it's hard to stop it, and my sister's face is thirsty for knowledge. It's obvious that if she doesn't explain it clearly today, it will definitely not work.
Zhao Tinghan was so cruel that he still forced himself to explain.
"Back then, the emperor sent the prince and Mr. Yuan to pay homage to his ancestors in his hometown in Chu. The prince of Jiang Ping, Lin Lu, went with him as an imperial bodyguard. Unexpectedly, he encountered an assassin on the road. Lin Lu blocked the sword for the prince. When he was dying, the prince asked him if he had anything. He wished, he looked at Mr. Yuan and said to the prince, saying that he and Dr. Yuan’s beloved daughter were in love and had made a lifelong commitment, and he asked the prince to make it happen! "
Zhao Tinghan said the last two sentences with gritted teeth.
Zhao Shiqing was startled: "Is he really in love with that girl Yuan?"
Zhao Tinghan sneered: "He just has unrequited love. Uncle Jiang Ping is a nobleman, and Dr. Yuan is just a fifth-rank civil servant. The two families are not in the same circle, and they have no friendship.
I didn't understand it at first, but later I checked and found out that Lin Luo had met Xiaotang twice before and wanted to marry him, but Mrs. Jiang Pingbo rejected her, thinking that Xiaotang was of too low a background to be the wife of the prince.
Later, when Lin Lu was drunk, he told someone that his mother had agreed to take Xiaotang as his concubine as long as he married his first wife.
How could Xiaotang fall in love with such a prostitute and have a lifelong private relationship with him? ”
Zhao Shiqing understood, not to mention that the two of them didn't have that kind of relationship at all, even if they did, asking the prince to fulfill his wish before he died was either treacherous or bad.
"Then what? Did the Yuan family agree?" Zhao Shiqing asked.
Zhao Tinghan sneered: "The Yuan family naturally disagreed, but the prince believed it to be true, and other people present also believed it to be true. They all said that when people are about to die, their words are also good. What's more, when Lin Luo said these words when he was about to die, the prince did not After thinking a lot, I agreed immediately
The prince is the king, and you have no words to joke about.
After returning to the capital, Lin Lu's remarks spread a lot. This was obviously the work of Jiang Ping's uncle.
Mr. Yuan did not agree with the marriage, but Jiang Ping's house asked the emperor to grant the marriage. Lin Lu was seriously injured while saving the prince, so the emperor had no reason not to grant the marriage.
So Xiaotang had no choice but to get married according to the decree. Lin Lu's younger brother Lin Feng married her in instead of his brother. Lin Lu was helped to worship Xiaotang. He died just after being sent to the bridal chamber, and the wedding banquet turned into a funeral banquet.
Xiaotang wanted to return home, and wanted to ask her father and brother to stand up for her, but Mr. Yuan was pedantic and believed that since she was married, she would live as a Lin family and die as a Lin family ghost. Even if she died, she would die in the Lin family, and even asked Xiaotang to die as a martyr. .
Xiaotang had a falling out with her natal family and never went back.
A year later, Mr. Yuan was exiled and his family left the capital. He ignored his daughter Xiaotang.
Last year, Jiang Pingbo wanted to get involved with Xiaotang, but was stabbed by Xiaotang. Although he was not dead, he was also crippled.
Xiaotang took advantage of the chaos to escape and had nowhere to go, so she hid in Wanfu Temple. When I learned about this, I secretly sent Xiaotang to Zhuangzi. She has lived in Zhuangzi for a whole year. ”
After Zhao Tinghan finished speaking, he saw his little sister's mouth opened wide, she was already dumbfounded.
He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Zhao Shiqing's eyes: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Shiqing: "Have you finished speaking? You seem to have missed one thing."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Tinghan was confused.
Zhao Shiqing smiled evilly. When she smiled, her eyes narrowed into a line, her little nose wrinkled slightly, and her smile was so vulgar that Zhao Tinghan couldn't look directly at her. How could his little sister, who was so beautiful and beautiful, smile like this?
"You didn't say you liked Miss Xiaotang. Don't think I wouldn't know if you didn't tell me."
The secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years was suddenly revealed and exposed to the sun. Zhao Tinghan was embarrassed for a moment, but he soon felt relieved.
"Yes, I am very fond of her. When I first met her, I was seven years old and she was ten years old. I ran away from the palace and was targeted by a group of beggars. It was she who rushed over and helped me fight away the group of beggars. She She was very strong and powerful, and she protected me from the beggars. The second time I saw her was at Wanfu Temple, when she was thirteen and I was ten. She was framed by her stepmother and sister, and was scolded by her father after she proved herself. She sat on the stone steps in front of her, in a daze. She heard my cough and asked me to wait, and then she ran away. After a while, she ran back with two pears and asked me to eat one. The pears were big and she broke them open with a little force.
The third time I saw her was at Wanfu Temple. At that time, the news of her private life-long engagement with Lin Lu had already spread. She was fifteen years old and I was twelve years old. She asked me my name for the first time."
Zhao Tinghan did not continue talking. He had already said too much today, not to mention it was the first time for him and his little sister to meet.
But he didn't know why, he just wanted to talk. Maybe it was because he hadn't seen his relatives for a long time, or maybe Zhao Shiqing had this trait of making people approachable.
After leaving Wanfu Temple, Zhao Shiqing began to figure out how to bring his eldest brother back to Liangdi in an upright and fair manner.
In fact, her original idea was very simple. Wouldn't it be enough to hide her eldest brother, avoid interrogation and leave the capital?
But then she thought about it, she couldn't do this, and things weren't that simple.
It is indeed easy to sneak out of Beijing, but what to do next?
The eldest brother is not an ordinary person, he is a proton, and he is also the Lord of Liang Di.
Returning to Liang without the emperor's permission would be tantamount to treason.
At least now, Prince Liang's Mansion has no rebellious intentions and no ability to rebel.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She wants her eldest brother to return to Liang in an upright manner, take over Prince Liang's Mansion, and become the next Prince of Liang.
On the way to the capital, Zhao Shiqing thought of several methods, but when she saw the real Zhao Tinghan, she knew that none of these methods worked and she had to start over.
Instead of hiding and thinking, she wandered around like a street kid.
As she was walking, she was suddenly hit by someone. The person was carrying a large book box. When she turned around, the book box bumped into her.
The man was dressed and looked like a scholar. When he saw that he bumped into someone, he apologized quickly. Zhao Shiqing didn't care and waved him away.
However, Zhao Shiqing also noticed that there were suddenly many such scholars around, and they were all heading in the same direction.
The first time she came to the capital, she just wandered around without any purpose. The advantage of the capital was that it was crowded and lively, and kidnappers did not dare to blatantly abduct people. Besides, if she got lost, just ask a sedan chair to take her back to Youxiyingmen. .
She didn't know where she was now, but when she saw so many scholars walking in the same direction, she became interested and hurriedly followed the big book box in front of her.
Soon she knew where this place was.
Kuixing Tower!
In the rural examination in August, candidates from all states and counties under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Prefecture must come to the capital to take the rural examination. There are still three months until the rural examination, but some candidates from other places have already come to the capital in advance to prepare for the examination.
The first thing these scholars did when they came to the capital was to go to Kuixing Tower to worship Kuixing and pray to Kuixing to bless them for the imperial examination and high school.
Zhao Shiqing was looking at Kuixing Tower not far away in a daze, and suddenly she was hit again. She turned around and saw a scholar in a blue shirt, who hit her and ran away without even saying "I'm sorry".
Zhao Shiqing frowned, as if something was wrong.
As soon as she lowered her head, well, the purse hanging from her waist was taken away.
Damn scholar, this is a thief.
Zhao Shiqing didn't want to spoil him, so she chased after him and grabbed the man's shoulders, but the next moment, the man slipped out of her hand like a loach.
Zhao Shiqing chased and dunked again, and the man slipped and slipped again.
Zhao Shiqing raised her leg and kicked the person to the ground. The person screamed: "I'm hitting you, I'm hitting you, help me!"
There are scholars all around. Although scholars look down on each other, it depends on when, such as now, when they see someone bullying their own kind in the street, these scholars will become angry.
"You are still a girl, beating people in the street, shameless."
Zhao Shiqing was too lazy to pay attention to these people. She bent down and took out a purse from the man's arms. The man shouted: "It's a robbery, it's a robbery!"
Scholars: "In this bright world, under the emperor's feet, people are being robbed in broad daylight. Go report it to the official! Go report it to the official!"
Zhao Shiqing pouted, a group of guys who only know how to brag.
She raised one foot to step on the man and took the purse in her hand. The purse was bulging and there was a lot of money in it.
She said to everyone: "This purse is mine. It contains dried fish and a stone ball the size of a pigeon egg. I said this person stole it from me. Do you believe it?"
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the purse was found from that person. It should have belonged to that person. Besides, no normal person would put dried fish and stone balls in the purse. This was not the case. Nonsense?
In fact, their noses are not sensitive enough. If it were Zhao Shiqing herself, she could smell the smell of dried fish even from five or six steps away.
Seeing that these people didn't believe it, Zhao Shiqing opened his purse, grabbed a handful of dried fish, and then took out a stone ball.
Everyone, let’s go worship Kuixing and stop meddling in other people’s business.
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the thief was stepped on by Zhao Shiqing. This time he was stepped on the lute bone. The loach function was no longer available, so he could only lie on the ground and say good things.
He cursed in his heart, who would be a good person who would put dried fish and stone balls in his purse? Isn't this a deception?
This is what I was thinking in my heart, but what I said out loud was: "Girl, sister, eldest sister, please spare me this time. I have an eighty-year-old woman at home. If I don't take the money back, she will have to go back." Starving to death”
The man was lying on the ground with his face on the ground, only half of his face exposed.
"You are only a teenager. Your mother is very capable. She can still give birth to such a big boy like you when she is sixty or seventy years old."
That guy is a bastard, it won't work this time.
"Sister, look, I haven't stolen your money, and you haven't lost anything. Just let me go today, and we can't be considered acquainted without fighting. Do you think that's okay?"
Before Zhao Shiqing could speak, a childish voice came from behind: "Hey, isn't this Loach? You stopped singing and became a scholar instead?"
Zhao Shiqing looked over for the voice, and saw that it was a young man who looked more like a street kid than her. The young man's face was dark, and he didn't know whether it was dirty, or it was just so dark, which made the whites of his eyes even whiter. , His dark eyes are even darker, and when he grins, his teeth are so white that they shine.
