Chapter 2: Cooking wine and talking about rivers and lakes (4)
The drunk Taoist priest walked to the kang again, and turned the overturned kang table over and put it in place.
There is still a pot of tea hot on the stove, which was not damaged from the fight just now.
The drunk Taoist priest picked up the teapot, took a bowl from the cupboard, poured a bowl of tea and drank several sips. He was injured by the man in red, and now he felt that his chest was tight. After drinking the tea, he took two long breaths.
.
Then the drunk Taoist priest said: "The man in red is indeed sent by the emperor. If you kill him, you will indeed cause a big disaster. But don't worry, you are saving me, and this matter will never be spread. As for me,
Hiding from you..."
At this moment, the sound of Wang returning sounded in the courtyard.
"I went to buy some wine and meat, and something happened. Who is this damn guy in red... Wait, the sign hanging from this guy's waist is gold, I have to pull it off..."
But the mother-in-law wouldn't let Wang Guilai take off the sign, because they would destroy both the body and the clothes, without leaving any evidence.
When Wang returned, he had a better memory and no longer provoked his mother-in-law. So he did not insist on pulling off the gold medal.
Lin Yi came out of the house and saw Wang Guixi holding two jars of wine in both hands and carrying two bulging large sacks on his back, as if he was carrying two hills.
It turned out that Wang Gui came back to buy something and went back, but he realized something had happened when Xiaohong told her. He didn't even put the things down, but ran over to find out what was going on.
Wang Guilai said to Lin Yi: "Brother, I bought ten bowls, half a pig, lamb legs, fish, rice noodles..."
Lin Yi walked up to him, took a jar of wine and said, "Brother, you have worked hard. You go back and put the things down first. Then wait for me. I will go back and prepare delicious food for you. My craftsmanship is as good as that of my two sisters."
."
When Wang came back and saw that Lin Yi was safe and sound, Le Dian Dian returned with her things on her back.
Lin Yi returned to the house with the wine in his arms.
The wind was blowing at this moment, and the cold wind blew in through the broken window. The temperature in the room quickly dropped.
Lin Yi took a piece of felt and blocked the window first, then walked to the stove and poured out the pot of tea, then poured a pot of wine and put it on the stove to cook. After the wine was cooked, Lin Yi took another bowl and served it.
Kang sat cross-legged at the table and poured a bowl of wine for the drunk Taoist priest and himself.
Lin Yi picked up the bowl and said to the drunk Taoist priest: "I promised the Taoist priest to bring good wine to the door. Today we will cook wine and have a good chat. I will do it first as a token of respect."
Lin Yi drank the wine first.
The drunk Taoist priest also picked up the wine and drank it.
The drunk Taoist wiped the wine stains from his mouth and looked at Lin Yi and said, "You told me not to hide anymore. What do you want to know?"
Lin Yi said: "Who are you?"
The drunk Taoist hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Originally I could never tell you. But I am already old, and I might leave one day. Moreover, the person you killed the emperor today will be guilty of a serious crime from now on, so I will tell you."
You. My name is Tianjizi. I am the only son of Tianji Shangren, the head of Tianji Palace at that time. But Prince Lin, you are too young, and you may not know some old stories from the world..."
Lin Yi filled the drunken Taoist priest's cup with wine again, and said with a smile on his face: "Maybe I still know something. Taoist priest, you are also very honest. In fact, I also know that you are Tianjizi."
The drunk Taoist priest was surprised when he heard Lin Yi's words: "How do you know?"
Lin Yi said: "Although I am young and know very little about the past, my father-in-law, Lord Su, is a great man who knows everything. He told me."
"It turns out it was Su Qinghou who told you. Haha, it has been several years since we last met. Now Su Qinghou's memory continues to fade, and he still remembers me. What a pity," the drunk Taoist sighed at this.
There was a look of regret on his face, and he continued: "Su Qinghou is a generation of extraordinary people, and his memory ability is difficult to compare with those who have a photographic memory. From the time he can remember, what kind of sound does a fly fly by?
The sound of something, how many grains of rice he dropped while eating, the shape of the clouds in the sky... He can all remember it clearly. Whatever he has seen or heard, everything is imprinted in his mind like an axe. But memory
It has also become the source of torture for him. He couldn't forget it before, but now he can't remember it. It's a pity for a strange man..."
Lin Yi was surprised when he heard that the people from Tianji Palace were indeed all-pervasive.
Very few people knew about Su Qinghou's memory loss, but Tianjizi actually knew about it.
That being said, there are also people from Tianji Palace in their south courtyard.
And his status is not low.
Fortunately, he was from Tianji Palace. If he were from Beifu, he would have discovered so many secrets.
Lin Yi said: "Taoist Master, why did the emperor want to kill you?"
The drunk Taoist priest said: "Back then, Tianji Palace leaked the imperial concubine scandal and caused a great disaster. The emperor sent troops to destroy Tianji Palace and killed my father. He also hunted down Tianji disciples everywhere. After so many years, the succeeding emperor has never let go of the Queen of Tianji Palace.
People are still chasing us secretly..."
Lin Yi said: "You have too many secrets."
The drunk Taoist priest said: "Yes, we have too many secrets. Moreover, we are also in charge of the inside story of the emperor's fight with several brothers. So how can the emperor let me go? And not only did the emperor send people to hunt me down, but also Lu
The prime minister has also sent people to hunt me down. The emperor and the prime minister want to get rid of me quickly. I am so lucky. Haha..."
The drunk Taoist priest laughed.
I don't know if it's a proud smile or a helpless smile.
Even Prime Minister Lu started to hunt down Tianjizi, and Lin Yi was moved.
He remembered Bei Gong Wuyang telling Qu Wuhui that he was saving a person's life. Bei Gong Wuyang described that person as something magical, as if all the talents in the world were not worth mentioning in front of this person.
Could it be that Prime Minister Lu's pursuit of drunk Taoist priests has something to do with this?
Lin Yi said seriously: "Taoist Master, I don't care about the Emperor's affairs. I don't dare to care either. So I won't ask anymore. And I won't ask about things that have nothing to do with me. I'm still afraid that knowing too much will lead to disaster.
But why does Prime Minister Lu want to hunt you down? Please tell me the truth."
The drunk Taoist priest also picked up the wine in front of him and took a few sips, then put down the wine bowl.
"Although you saved me, I can't tell you everything. Even if you kill me, I won't reveal even a little bit about some things. Also, although our Tianji Palace holds many secrets, they are not as popular as people rumored
, omniscient. We are also human beings, not gods.”
Lin Yi said: "Do you know about Prime Minister Lu?"
"I know something about Mr. Lu, and I can tell you about it." The drunk Taoist stretched his injured arm, and continued: "Beigong Wuyang, who was known as the fairy doctor back then, suddenly acted strangely.
The disappearance attracted our attention. I ordered people from Tianji Palace to investigate the matter. It turned out that Beigong Wuyang was brought to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Mr. Lu. Moreover, Mr. Lu also secretly built a building for Beigong Wuyang.
We built an underground palace. The underground palace was heavily guarded and had so many mechanisms that even a fly could hardly enter. Therefore, there must be some unknown secret hidden in the underground palace. Later we found out that Wuyang in Beigong was trying to save a person’s life, and that person got it.
Rare disease..."
When Lin Yi heard this, he quickly interrupted and asked: "Who is that person? What disease does he have?"
