Chapter 20: The Grand Finale
The man was helpless, looked around, but around him in addition to the straw, there is only the corner of the wall of the rat hole. In the middle of the day, he suddenly remembered something, endured the pain in his legs, gritted his teeth and tore off a piece of fabric from his lapel, then, biting the tip of his finger, on the blood, a stroke of a pen on the fabric I do not know what to write. At this time, another jailer carrying an oil lamp came over, raised a light, shook the man could not open his eyes. The jailer didn't bother to look at him, and only said to the person beside him: "Don't talk nonsense with him. The head of the cell said, this person is a serious criminal, is a death row, strictly prohibit outsiders from contacting, you can be careful!" After saying that, he was about to unlock the lock and snatch the fabric from the man's hand, but was stopped by the jailer who came first. "Hey, what can there be ah. He's going to be executed in the fall, so he won't be able to jump around for more than a few days. Let him write, let him write, it's just a last words." Later the jailer idly glanced at him, think also, did not say anything, staggered away. The kerosene lamp in the cell shook, wanting to be bright, he raised his head, looked at the two men left, his mouth floated a seemingly bizarre smile, then, will another finger also bit through, just in the dim light, writing up. When the carriage arrived at the Jiangdu County Jail, it was already past the unspecified time.
All the way hasty, bumpy, everyone is in a sorry state, no need to disguise disguise, at this moment, even if the governor of the county big master standing in front of them, can not see the carriage, not think they are the stragglers, but also will be when they are along the street begging beggars. Lianxin will hair bun pursed, forehead a piece of bruises, cheeks have not wiped off the blood stains. Can't care a lot, step by step behind him, still three or two steps short of the prison door of the magistrate far away from the two people, immediately out of the voice to stop, but in the see Yin Zhen hands of shiny silver, busy silenced, smiled a blossoming face. "Yo, this is intended to see who ah? Such a big handwriting." At this time, the jailer came out from the inside, see the watchman's yamen eyes are fast falling on that ingot of silver, suddenly raised the whip in his hand, scolded: "really no interest, have not seen the money how?" The magistrate made a fool of himself, lowered his head and did not dare to speak. There is also a reluctant, raised his head and glanced again, was jailer a whip on the back, also scared out of his wits. Yin Zhen looked askance, saw the jailer's arrogant face, and did not get angry, pulled out another ingot from his sleeve, this time, it was gold. "I want to see Zhao Ji'an." The jailer's eyes were glowing, but when he heard that name, his face instantly became a bit off, "What?
? Zhao Ji'an! No no no, he's a felon, the county master ordered that no one can see him. This money of yours, it's better to take it back." After saying that, he also suspiciously surveyed the two people's costumes, "You are not local people? What's your relationship with the one surnamed Zhao?" Yin Zhen didn't say anything, only looked at him. The jailer didn't linger, hummed through his nose, turned around and walked inside. "Ten thousand taels." Yin Zhen slowly took out a silver ticket from his pocket, a single thin piece of paper with the seal of Daxing Money Bank on it. This paper is light in the hand, but it represents the silver of white flowers - a jailer, thirty years can not fish out the silver. "This ......" In a matter of moments, another jailer walked out, seeing the silver ticket in his hand, his eyes went straight. And look at the doorway two equally dumbfounded yamen, stabbed his companion, "You stupid, that is ten thousand taels, our buddy can not use up the silver in a lifetime, still standing still for what!" "But he wants to see Zhao Ji'an!" "Just look, you're still afraid he'll steal the man!" The jailer looked at Yin Zhen, and then looked at his hands of silver tickets, look and look, eyes still fall on the silver tickets, swallowed saliva, after a lot of effort, finally waved his hand to release.
The cell door is locked, from the interrogation room through, inside is a cell. Jailer two people, a person with a whip, a person carrying a kerosene lamp, will send them into the inner cell, will no longer go inside. Yin Zhen before entering the door, and from the sleeve took out two ingots of silver to the yamen, the guards will be very happy, the jailer is not very tube, simply did not follow the past. "Be quick, when the jailer comes, none of you will be able to leave." The cell was dark. Prisoners ate, drank, and shit inside, so the smell was naturally not much better. From the outermost room all the way inside, Lianxin's eyes saw heaps of prisoners detained in the cells, and even some of the cells were already crowded with people, the prisoners and the prisoners were leaning tightly together, one by one, like pigs and sheep penned up in a farmer's pen. "There are so many prisoners. Could it be that, as his people said, the people of Yangzhou are swarthy and swarming with thieves?" Lianxin followed behind him, letting him pull her hand, and just as she finished speaking, she heard someone pick up the conversation. Following the source of the sound, it was an old peasant squatting on the side of the fence, bone-thin shoulders, deep-set eyes, stubble sticking to the stains, his clothes were still clean. It looked like it had been taken into custody not long ago. "Little girl, you don't know. Those who are locked up in this Jiangdu prison are still the people, in addition to the people.
Still the people. Those who are poor and vicious, the magistrates in turn do not dare to care." Lianxin and Yinzhen both exchanged a glance and came closer, "What does that mean?" If it's a rich family, imprisoned and suffering, there will always be someone who can't stand it. People in the family run around to take care of, naturally pay out silver to ransom people. Locked up the more, the more oil and water, generally a little bit involved, will certainly find ways to catch in. But now these, are the common people, poor to death, where there is money to buy connections. The magistrate arrested them, what profit can there be ...... "It's not that dog magistrate, he let the magistrate drive us out of Jiangdu County, we were unwilling, so we were arrested in!" On the other side, a voice chimed in. The two listened to the words and felt more and more puzzled. The government is tyrannical, the people are not able to suffer have fled the countryside abound, but have not seen not to resist the block, but instead of driving people out of the country. "What is the reason for this?" This time, no one responded to the inquiry, and only countless heavy sighs resounded one after another. Both of their hearts were a little heavy, not dwelling on it much, speeding up their steps to walk inside. In fact, it was very close. The innermost cell, a pitch-black piece, the walls are damp to the touch, if there is no kerosene lamp, the whole person is like being in the netherworld
Under the dim lamp, Zhao Ji'an is fumbling with the bloodstained fabric, rubbing it over and over again. He wrote for nearly two hours to write this thing, word by word, not only his life, but also the life of the people of Jiangdu County, but also the life of the people of Yangzhou City. But looking at it, wide eyes are a little straight, dark and bright, bright and dark, not eat for many hours, at the moment waves of hunger to the top, scratching the heart and scratching the liver of the unbearable. The sound of unlocking, mixed with footsteps, very light. Zhao Ji'an a jolt, even with the chains clattered straight, but panicked and stuffed the fabric under the buttocks, sitting dead, and then leaned against the fence, eyes closed, a look of death. The visitor, however, was not a jailer, much less a county official. "Are you the Jiangdu county chief bookkeeper, Zhao Ji'an?" A soft voice, very thin, a woman. Zhao Ji'an raised his head, but it was actually two young men, at first glance, it did not look like a local, one of them was still a woman dressed as a man. "Who are you guys?" Suddenly, Zhao Ji'an was a little embarrassed. Subconsciously scratching the lice on his back, his long and curved nails scratched the poisonous sores, and pus and blood dripped down his shoulder blades. "We come from the capital." It was Yin Zhen who opened his mouth, and when he finished, he squeezed Lian Xin's hand. She understood and
walked around the corner of that cell, wary of bystanders eavesdropping. "You are ...... a big official from Daxing City?" Zhao Ji'an has some insights, when Jiangdu County three years of the main book, once accompanied the county master to entertain a lot of officials in Yangzhou City. But if it is a big official from the capital, what is he doing to see him ...... Yin Zhen held the fence and pressed his voice very low, "I came specifically to investigate the case. You were the chief bookkeeper of Jiangdu County, why did you go to jail, do you know anything, or were you framed by someone ......" "Investigate the case?" What case ...... injustice so much, and which one do you want him to say? No one under the four, Yin Zhen simply bent his body lower. The closer, that stock of urine odor is more thick, but he did not even frown, "Jiangnan officials have lost their lives one after another, the court shook. If you know anything, feel free to tell." Zhao Ji'an froze slightly for a moment, then instantly began to laugh. The common people were living in dire straits, and the imperial court didn't care. The government oppresses the good people, the court does not care. Dead a few officials, but is the publicity, fanfare, so that is to send people, if the three officials died in vain know, I really do not know is to cry, or should laugh.
"You said you are the people sent by the court, what credentials can there be?" Zhao Ji'an leaned limply against the fence, curled his legs, and looked at him with a smile. Human life was at stake. Who can guarantee that this supervision royal inspector is really supervision royal inspector, and not Chen Biyan's group of people specifically sent to set his words? Jiangdu County is already a den of thieves, even this Yangzhou City, now has been half obliterated in the sludge. The people who know, dead, arrested arrested, he is the only one survived. Death is not terrible, terrible is the truth can not be revealed, Jiangdu County darkness for a long time, the people so suffering, when is a head, when can it come to an end? The thought of this, can not help but subconsciously moved his butt. This head sitting down, it is his back down the details of the accounts, recorded from April to June last year two months, Jiangdu County magistrate bribery of officials around the world and acceptance of the local rich silver. The original account book had been hidden by him in an extremely secret place. This one, on the other hand, was to be kept close to him, so that when he was executed in the fall and someone collected the body, it might be able to be circulated. "This is the emperor's oracle." A roll of gold-stamped bright yellow scarf silk with chi dragons and phoenixes was pulled out of his arms, still lingering with residual warmth. Zhao Ji'an trembling took over, poor little people, how ever to see the face of the sky, that towel silk written on a strong line of words,
Fall paragraph, stamped with a jade seal seal letter. Zhao Ji'an held in his hand, as if he felt a thousand pounds. "The grass people kowtow to see my emperor long live, long live ten thousand years ......" The chain was torn, clattering straight, Zhao Ji'an snot and tears on his knees, choking, and finally even let go of his voice and cried bitterly. Hall seven feet male, was forced to this, Yin Zhen will help him up, "you since you know my identity is true, will quickly tell the grievances." Zhao Ji'an can not stop nodding, a thousand words surging to the mouth, a moment in turn do not know how to speak. Year after year said that the imperial grace, year after year is the accumulation of evils like a mountain. Jiangnan people look forward to the sea is clear and calm, looking forward to the heart is cold. It is not easy to wait for a big official, but he can really purge the corrupt officials and fix the dirty officials?...... "The master has orders, the small people dare not disobey." Yin Zhen nodded slightly and asked, "The prisoners in that jail, all claimed to be disaster victims, because they were unwilling to leave their homes, they were put in jail. What exactly is going on here?" Zhao Ji'an sighed. "You are unaware of it. Jiangnan had years of drought, the ground had no harvest, the government added a 50% tax, which was too harsh, and then there was an outbreak of locusts, causing the people to be overwhelmed and fleeing to foreign lands in large numbers. That Jiangdu County magistrate Chen Biyan was originally the origin of the military, has long been used to rot some of the stereotypes of the head of the barracks.
Waiting for the court to send out pensions, he simply used the set of tricks of eating empty pay on the people." "You mean - misrepresentation!" Zhao Ji'an nodded, "The local population had fled most of the country, and the number of people reported, was very different from the actual number of people, so the county office just took this opportunity to privately swallow the extra silver. In the long run, the government tasted the benefits, so it will not be willing to go to the people driven to the field, through more misappropriation of disaster relief silver." Yin Zhen's face is gloomy, half silent. Empty pay has been around for a long time, especially in the military is most common. But the court explicitly only let the levy increase by 30%, I can't imagine, the district Jiangnan will dare to raise the tax to 50%. Officials of all sizes, in collusion, even played a deceitful and disobedient means. Really is the sky high emperor far away. "Do you know, which people are involved here?" Yin Zhen's voice is stern, the bottom of his eyes has surged out of the cold. Zhao Ji'an shook his head with a bitter smile, "Yangzhou City's up and down, I'm afraid there's not a clean one. This lord, not that the grass people can not trust you, but this thing is too big, involved, not just a few officials. If it were to be lifted, it would be a monstrous wave, and I really don't know whether I should say anything or not!" Which time the court sent to monitor, either hastily, or took the benefits of the officials, wolves. This one can be an exception?
Even if he is an exception, he is not afraid of offending those high-powered officials?...... "It's useless, anyone who comes, can't manage it!" Zhao Ji'an lost his mind and hung his head. Disappointment, from the appeal without a door, from being bent into a fight, has begun to disappoint. But did not despair, afterglow glanced, heart weighing, just to see in front of this adult in the end how to react. "If really feel that there is no way to appeal, will not be in this prison in the middle of writing a letter of blood." Yin Zhen vision deep, looking at his fingers have not yet scabbed, index finger is broken, thumb is also broken, while the ring finger wound blood has dried, not like torture scars. Zhao Ji'an subconsciously turned his hand back and said somewhat awkwardly, "That's because I'm thirsty, no, there's no water to drink." At this moment, the hour had already passed most of the way. If they delayed any longer, even if they could make it back in time, they were afraid that if the inspecting officials passing by bumped into them, both of their lives would be accounted for here. Yin Zhen looked at him fixedly, and said one sentence at a time: ''You should know, once people find out that I am visiting you here, what kind of consequences will there be. Moreover, if you don't tell me the truth of the matter now, you will bring the grievances of the people of Yangzhou into your coffin. No one will ever hear your complaint again, and no official will ever come back to investigate." "This ......"
Zhao Ji'an was choked by his words and stared at him for a long time, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time and couldn't turn his eyes away for a long time. He was at least a scholarly scholar, at least a scholarly scholar, he could tell that the man standing in front of him at the moment was not an ordinary person, because of such an aura and momentum, it actually made it impossible for him to say no again. "Good, I will hand over the evidence to you!" Death is as good as death, anyway, he was already a person waiting to be executed after the fall, if this man in front of him could really present this evidence to the Emperor, it would not be a waste of his own hard work. "The officials in Yangzhou city are already rotten from top to bottom, whether they are serving or idle, there is not a single good thing. Zheng Weili, the former university scholar of Wenhua Hall and official minister of the Ministry of Justice, colluded with Yangzhou Buzhengzhang Lu Jian, governor Zhang Weiliang and others to sell the official grain of the disaster relief, misrepresenting the number of victims, and moreover embezzling the silver of the disaster relief and executing the officials of the imperial court while the line of ...... However, the biggest corrupt official is not them, but the Governor of the Two Rivers, Zha Bi Na!" Governor of the two rivers in charge of Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi provinces of the military and political affairs, is a feudal official, hand in hand, in his hand in the three provinces of the boundaries of the sky, during which the officials favoritism of all stay in office, and clean and upright but to be deposed by being framed, if you say that the country moths, and then no one can be called more than him.
Zhao Ji'an finished these, from behind his buttocks to take out his own has been written for a long time the blood of the book, the content of the above is not complete, there is also a copy of the handwritten copy is placed in Jiangdu County magistrate's office behind the plaque. Any county magistrate Chen Bi Yan no matter how much he thought, he would never think that the evidence of the crime that would take his life would be placed right on top of his own head! He handed over the fabric that was written in blood to him, a reassuring smile suddenly surfaced on his face and closed his eyes. Yin Zhen clutched that material in his hand and instantly got up, Lian Xin did not know that they had finished talking, only to see him pulling himself out with a somber face, thinking that there was no gain. Who knows that when out of Jiangdu County prison, back to the carriage, but has already got the evidence. "Immediately return to the other courtyard!" Octagonal building also not return, but immediately to rush back to the courtyard to go, Lianxin know that he should be with Li Wei and other people to meet, but just at this time, only to hear the sound of hoofbeats in the distance, the sound of the messy, but also mixed with the noisy shouting, it seems to be a lot of people are riding horses towards here to hurry over. "Oh no!" The driver took a look and said to the people in the car, "It seems to be officials and soldiers from the government offices!" Lu Jian, the Minister of Prefecture, and others had said time and time again that the land of Yangzhou produced unruly people, and in particular there were a lot of roving bandits, so it seemed logical to die in this way at the hands of a roving bandit or a mob, and I'm afraid that's how Zheng Yi, the Minister of Prefecture, died.
"Your Majesty, what to do?" The driver was also anxious, not caring much, even called out the word "Emperor". The current situation if caught on the spot, there will never be a survivor left. Yin Zhen frowned tightly, looked at the side of the lotus heart a glance, but saw her quickly tucked the hair bun into the hat, when he was too late to react, even jumped off the carriage. "Lianxin!" He just shouted her name out, the carriage driver as if he had already reached **** knowledge with her, already a horse whip down ...... horse hissed, spread all four hooves wildly galloped forward, galloping towards the north. "Inside the palace if the emperor is the only one person, it is also counted - my concubine one ......" If you do not leave, I will not give up. The wind scraped on her face raw pain, Lianxin ran as hard as she could, desperately running, just back to the direction of the carriage far away. In any case, less her, the palace inside just less a consort, three years after the election, there will be new add up. But he is the emperor, the only emperor in the world, less him, the world will be in chaos. And more importantly, she did not want him to have an accident ...... Heh, it turned out that only now she realized that she actually loved him so much. But, from when did it start? Maybe it was the first time he hugged her and called her name.
But when did it start? Perhaps it was the first time he held her and called her name. Maybe it was when they were in the Warming Pavilion, together day and night. Maybe it was when she slept all night in the Hall of Nourishing Heart, and he sat on the edge of the couch and watched himself all night ...... Too much too much for her to remember. The corners of Lianxin's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes shone brightly, but there were moist tears obscuring her vision. He is so lonely to live in this world, noble as the Nine to Five, but it is so hard and difficult. How much she wanted to stay with him ...... The arrow broke through the air in a split second, and Lianxin felt that she was taken backward by a strong force, and then there was the sharp pain of the horse s hooves stepping on the shoulder blades, and the dust filled in the nose, and there was the smell of blood everywhere ...... It hurt too much, and the calves and the abdomen also are followed by spasms. Lianxin painfully prostrate on the ground, can still hear the neighing of the horse s hooves and the shouting of the human voice. At this moment, he should have gotten out of danger, right ...... Lianxin s lips raised a smile, very faint and very faint, and then closed her eyes. December 20, check the two GuangZhou Governor ChaBiNa deception, heart treacherous, party camping, embezzlement of official silver official food, clip wall hidden gold 26,000 more than two, private library hidden gold 6,000 more than two, cellar and have buried silver two million, immediate execution.

Li Wei holding the imperial decree to Jiangdu County Yamen, county magistrate Chen Biyan and other people have already hanged themselves, the rest of the few involved in the case of the dirty officials have taken poison, the fugitive is also hunted down. Although there was no one inside anymore, yet he still read the contents of the imperial decree word for word. At the moment when he stepped out of the government office, Li Wei looked back to the plaque with the inscription "A clear mirror hangs high". Outside the door, snowflakes began to fall. This was the first snowfall of this winter. Afterword: "Madam, Madam, the master won't let you run around!" Lian'er chased after the woman who was fluttering butterflies behind her, shouting until she couldn't catch her breath. Li Wei crossed the threshold at this time, and saw a purple haze and smoke Luo's beautiful shadow, weaving inside the flowers, just like a spiritually charming fairy. "Are pregnant, let you stay in the house, how is it disobedient!" He wrapped his arms around her from behind,

This was the first snowfall of this winter. Afterword: "Madam, Madam, the master won't let you run around!" Lian'er chased after the woman who was fluttering butterflies behind her, shouting until she couldn't catch her breath. Li Wei crossed the threshold at this time, and saw a purple haze and smoke Luo's beautiful shadow, weaving inside the flowers, just like a spiritually charming fairy. "Are pregnant, let you stay in the house, how is it disobedient!" He wrapped his arms around her from behind,
and folded his hands over her not-yet-raised belly. Lily covered her lips and laughed, "How can you be so reserved, you think you're a lady's maiden, I'm ah, rough born and bred, I'm not a person who can stay in the house in the first place!" After she finished speaking, her body turned around, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, lightly escaped from his arms. Li Wei only felt that the person in front of him was about to fly away with the wind like a butterfly, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back again, "Where else do you want to run!" Lily giggled, still refusing to comply. Li Wei bit her earlobe in exasperation, saying, "Your entire being is mine, don't try to run away!" "Don't forget, my contract of sale is in the hands of Empress Xi!" Lily smiled, tilting her head to look at him. Li Wei was stunned, remembering that woman who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, he got a little carried away. Lily reached out and knocked his head angrily, "Why are you frozen? When can you go into the palace to see her? I miss her!" "The Emperor even mentioned it this morning, when do you want to go into the palace?" "It's better to choose a day than to bump into it, let's do it today. I just made date cakes, just in time to bring them over to her." Inside the palace there is still some snow, the palace people are too late to clean, melted water, and then frozen, and finally on the ground into a thin layer of ice. Vegetable curtain sedan chair squeaked,
Palace people carried extremely careful, and so on the entrance to the Chengqian Palace, fell sedan chair, inside out of a flag dress Li Ren, was accompanied by maids to help, slowly on the Dan ah. The doorway of the temple blocked a thick curtain, the palace people lifted up, the woman slightly bent over, to be into the temple, the warmth of the smoke came to the face, instantly dispersed the outside brought in the cold. Yu Shou holding the waist, some effort to walk over, but see that only with the lining of the woman is leaning against the soft cushion of the gold heart hot mattress, leaning on the bed, holding a scroll in his hand. "A trip to Jiangnan, but very like these sour words, it seems really stupid." Yu Shu walked over and saw that there was also a selection of Ben Xiaoshan's words on the foot of the bed, and couldn't help but laugh out softly. The woman on the bed raised her head, but she looked like a person brewed out of a snow pile. Snow jade cheeks, a pair of eyes if there is a ghostly intent, black long hair draped over the shoulder, more and more appear the whole person weak. And slightly upturned sandalwood lips, as if just saw which is just the right words and phrases, face contains a sweet soft charm, smiling. At this moment, she saw the person who walked into the palace, could not help but "ah" sound, the whole person sat up, "ice and snow, you come into the palace to do what, in case if you fall, Lord Shangshu will not fight with me ah!"
Yushu puffed and laughed, sitting on the edge of the bed, pinching her cheek, "You!" Lianxin sat up, placed the soft mattress behind her back and leaned back, scrutinizing Yushu's stomach which had rumbled high, she couldn't help but say with some envy, "You're pregnant, and right after that Lily is also pregnant, when will I be able to get pregnant as well?" Yushu leaned in with her, holding her hand, and gently smiled, "Is the Emperor in a hurry?" Lianxin shook her head and laughed softly, "The emperor said that this kind of thing cannot be rushed." Not in a hurry, but let Su Peisheng secretly commanded the Imperial Catering Room to add tonic medicine in the meals. Not in a hurry, but also took her to the White Pagoda Temple to seek a sign ...... Only a pity that the tonic ate a whole lot, the master gave her sign symbols are almost hanging all over the window pane, just short of directly inviting a child delivery Goddess of Mercy to come back. The Imperial Consort was very considerate, and directly invited the Goddess of Mercy to the Great Buddha Hall, covered with a soft red tweed cloth, so that she always thought she was worshipping the Buddha. If it wasn't for the palace maidservant accidentally pulling down the cloth, she would have to always pray for peace and health every day with the Goddess of Mercy, which is really a great dilemma. Lianxin was just thinking, when a palace servant came to report, "Mrs. Lily is asking for an audience." When Lianxin heard this, she happily helped Yushu up and then commanded, "Invite her in directly!" After saying this, she remembered something and said, "But hold her up a bit, she is also heavy!" Qianqing Palace, West Warm Pavilion. Su Peisheng holding hot tea came in, the emperor is still reviewing the zhangfang, while Li Wei on the side has been so sleepy that he started to doze off. Su Peisheng coughed twice, seeing that he showed no signs of wanting to wake up, took a teacup, poured hot tea, and pressed it to his face. "Ow--" Li Wei was scalded awake with a jolt, while the man behind the bright yellow desk table, the vermillion pen in his hand trembled, almost not dripping vermillion on the zhengzuo. Su Peisheng covered his mouth, just beside the sneer, Li Wei glared at him fiercely, hurriedly got up, arched his hand toward the emperor said: "I have lost form, please forgive the emperor!" "Disturbing the Holy Driver is a big crime ......" Su Peisheng on the side of the "kindly" reminded. Li Wei "pooh" a mouthful of him, full of pleasing to look at the bright yellow figure, "long live the master, now Xi Fei mother should be talking with the bitch together, or, long live the master and the minister also go over it." When Yin Zhen heard what he said, he paused for a moment and said without lifting his head, "Jiangnan side, how is the follow-up processed?" Li Wei knows that the emperor is talking about Jiangnan Road disaster relief rice and grain case, face a whole, said: "I and other people have already escaped to catch back, and in accordance with the law conviction. The rest of the people in prison have all confessed to their crimes and will wait until next fall to be beheaded."
At that time, the reason why the Emperor wanted to visit Yangzhou in person was to draw the attention of all the powers to himself in this crucial place. That was why the Emperor would not stay in the other courtyard, he would go out for daily excursions and would patiently accompany Zheng Wan. Because only in this way, himself and Jiang Tingxi, Tian Wenjing and the others would have the opportunity to go to Huaizhou, Changzhou and Xuzhou to collect evidence of crimes in plain sight. Thinking of this, Li Wei is still palpitating, if at that time Ertai did not arrive in time, the consequences are really unimaginable, I'm afraid that a few of them have also long become the ancient sins of the Qing Dynasty. And that time, Xi Fei was held up by the emperor from a pool of blood, like a rag doll, all the doctors think can not be saved, the emperor froze in the bedside guard for three days and three nights. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that the person was finally guarded back. Doctors said, Xi Fei is the emperor from the hands of Yanwang snatch back. And afterwards, when Consort Xi followed the Emperor back to the palace, she did not forget to take away the flower lady that she had previously bought in the Apricot Blossom Smoke and Rain Building, and facilitated her own marriage with her. When Li Wei thought of this, a touch of tenderness could not help but float on his face. "Emperor, you see that you have already given a marriage, that bitch within that deed of sale ......" "This matter has to listen to your consort." Hearing what the emperor said without hesitation, Li Wei instantly bitter face.
Yeah, he even forgot that Xi Fei is already Xi Guifei. "But the micro minister ......" "To listen to the words of the noble consort." At this moment, Lianxin took Yushu and Lily to pay respects to Consort Qin. The Imperial Consort Qin, who had already been an Imperial Grandmother, had her ear to the ground and was rambling on about something to a woman who was about to give birth and a woman who had just gotten pregnant. Lianxin felt bored, so she came out to walk around the square in front of the palace. The snow outside was still accumulating, and when illuminated by the light cast down by the sun, it was bright and somewhat blinding. She wore a broken flower light pink palace cotton dress, simple and elegant, with collar and lapel pure white sable fur inlay roll, set off a face like peach blossom. The sound of creaking footsteps sounded in the distance, the sound of brocade boots stepping on the snow. Lianxin lifted her head, that jade-faced handsome young prince was stepping on the snow. It was only a few months, but it was as if years had passed. As she walked closer, she smiled towards him. A trace of unnamable sadness surfaced in Yun Li's eyes, but it was gone in an instant, the pupil's heart clear and shallow, as if it was just a fleeting illusion. "Is it okay?" Lianxin knew he was referring to the injury in Jiangnan and pursed her lips, "It seems to be really well. At that time, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to survive in the end."
Life is really marvelous, fragile and strong. Often it's just a line, step over it and it's the other side sprinkled with sunshine. She still remembered that she was standing at the end of her dream, a pervasive blood-colored ocean in the distance, and there was always a voice calling out to her. It took a great deal of effort to recognize the voice, so she opened her eyes, and so she lived. Only later did she realize that the reason his voice was that hoarse was because he had guarded her for three days and three nights in front of her bed and never left. "You are happy now." Yun Li looked at her with understanding, his gaze gentle, "I can see it in your eyes." The smile on Lianxin's face was as light as a stray cloud, "You are too." Yun Li smiled faintly, when he lowered his head, loneliness showed on his face, then he raised his head again, but he was handsome and elegant again, "There are some things that when you miss out on, you won't be able to come back, right?" Lianxin curved her lips and couldn't help but sigh lightly. Perhaps the fate was too shallow, perhaps the heavens were playing tricks on them, the love that was cut and cut and cut and cut, but in the end, it was because of time that it had changed. Slightly raising her face, letting the bright sunlight sprinkle on her cheeks, flooding them with a layer of misty white fog, Lianxin squinted her eyes, the smile on her face was soft and warm, even her voice turned into a touch of fluttering snow, "A good flower can be folded and must be folded straight away, Your Highness, you must cherish the person in front of you!"
After she finished speaking, she walked slowly in the direction of Yuehua Gate. Yun Li suddenly called out to her from behind, "Are you, really sure that he has forgotten his former self?" "Does Your Highness mean the Eight Fortunes?" Yun Li was a bit stunned, not expecting that at this moment, she has been able to say it without any problem, then she saw her smiling down, "What does it matter, forget or not, now it is me, just me, and in the future, it will also be me!" She is very silly, in fact, at the beginning he has already said, she is just Xi Fei, is his Xi Fei. What does it matter if they look alike? If it is not because of the similarity in appearance, how would she meet him ...... Lianxin tilted her head and breathed y, and suddenly remembered that it would soon be the New Year Festival. At this hour, he is probably still in the warm pavilion reviewing the zhang folds, right. Should go to find him to discuss, New Year's Day, a good lively.
