It was the same room, it was the same two boys, and there were still two men with weapons standing at the door. Su Ren ran away for a day, experienced a bizarre assassination, and had a verbal fight with Liu's prostitute at the Empress Dowager's place.
When he returned to the house, he lay down on the couch and called to the two servants guarding the door.
"Get some food, I'm hungry!" The voice was loud and drawn out.
The person who called in was not a servant, but a curious Ji An. Ji An put his hands behind his back and looked at Su Ren coldly, and Su Ren also looked at him: "Is there nothing to eat?"
Ji An smiled: "You are really brave. When I was in Chengdu, I thought you would not be able to swallow your anger. I didn't expect that before you arrived in Chang'an, you had already turned Chang'an upside down. Do you know that there are two people in the world?
Don't mess with me personally, the first one is the Emperor and the Empress, and the second one is Princess Guantao!"
Su Ren got up with difficulty, and the servant just brought in the dinner. Su Ren devoured it: "I didn't provoke you! They are all high-ranking people. I am a small businessman, not to mention that I am nothing in front of the Empress Dowager and the eldest princess.
You, Jing Zhaoyin, are just like ants here."
"Huh!" Ji An snorted: "What happened in the palace today? The imperial censor's face looks very bad!"
"It has nothing to do with him!" Su Ren took a big mouthful, which was very sweet, even though it was just gruel: "The Empress Dowager is going to have an operation, and I said she needs a blood transfusion, which means pouring other people's blood into the Empress Dowager's body when necessary.
After much selection, only the queen is the most suitable, but the queen seems unwilling, that’s it!”
"You're crazy! How can human essence and blood be circulated around? What's more, she's a queen!" Ji An jumped up: "You're crazy, you must be crazy! You're dead now, if the eldest princess doesn't
It would be weird to kill you! No wonder the censor doctor’s face looks so ugly, you are trying to drag us both into the water!"
Su Ren ignored Ji An who was milling around, and just ate with big mouthfuls. After a bowl of porridge, it was a little lacking, and he asked the servant to find two pancakes, and then he felt more comfortable. After eating and drinking, he sat down against the wall.
While burping, he drank boiled water. If there should be tea at home, the tea soup in Jingzhao Yin's house was really hard to swallow.
Ji An walked back and forth for a long time, and Su Ren looked dizzy: "Stop! You have been walking for half an hour, is it useful to walk like this?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Ji An stopped and looked at Su Ren.
Su Ren sat up straight: "After the assassination, Yushi Zhuang and I took Princess Guantao's carriage and found something in her carriage. Although this thing is not valuable, I know its origin, so I
Just guessing, is the imprisonment of my teacher Mr. Wen related to Princess Guantao?"
Ji An was stunned, and then said: "Why are you talking about this matter again? What we are talking about now is your life!"
"Is this my little life I'm talking about? I was dismissed from office when my teacher was imprisoned. In order to save my teacher, I came to Chang'an and met the Duke of Tangyi on Chencang Road. Only then did I have to be punished by heaven and the Empress Dowager healed me.
, and today’s blood transfusion crisis, the root of all this lies with you, Jing Zhaoyin!”
"That's nonsense! I'm just a messenger. How can these things be blamed on me?"
"Without you going to Chengdu to deliver the message, how could there be the current chaos?"
Ji An didn't know much about Su Ren's talkative skills, but he was not in the mood to quarrel with Su Ren now. Something had happened, and he had to find a way to solve it. The kid in front of him was about to die, but he just didn't want to do it before he died.
It's better to drag yourself down.
Taking a deep breath, Ji An bent down and looked at Su Ren. The person who looked at him with his eyes was panicking: "Listen up! No matter what your purpose is, don't involve anyone when you die.
Otherwise you know the consequences!"
Ji An was also a very prestigious official in the Han Dynasty. He was rated fairly well in history. But now Ji An's face made Su Ren see clearly that no matter he was a good official or a bad official, as long as someone touched their
Interests will never be faced with a smile.
I remember watching a movie in which the father of a corrupt official told his son, who wanted to be a good official and wash away the family's shame, before he was on his deathbed. It is more difficult to be a good official than to be a corrupt official. Don't look at this good official who has a clean and upright attitude.
It takes great wisdom to be able to deftly resolve the various coercions and corruptions from colleagues or the emperor himself and avoid the eyes of the people and public opinion. Loyal ministers are more treacherous than treacherous ministers in order to defeat those treacherous ministers.
Su Ren waved his hand and put away his playful smile: "Okay! But I have a request!"
"explain!"
"Please tell me why my teacher was dismissed from office and imprisoned!"
Ji An frowned, stared at Su Ren for a long time, and sighed: "Now that the matter has come to an end, it doesn't matter if you know it. The Empress Dowager personally ordered the matter concerning Wen Taishou. As for providing evidence against Wen Taishou in governing the county,
But you are from Shu County, so you should understand, right?"
Su Ren suddenly understood. In the past, he had always speculated that Dong Zhongshu's dismissal from office and imprisonment had something to do with Dong Zhongshu. He thought so until he came to Chang'an. In the afternoon, he found the transparent multicolored stone on Liu's carriage.
, Su Ren's mind suddenly went into chaos. No wonder Tangyi Marquis Mansion and Guantao Princess Mansion wanted to send people to Shu County to do business. If Chen Wu hadn't been kidnapped on Chencang Road, Cui Jiuming would have been unable to stop Chen Wu and Guo Xie.
And that Yao Shuai.
Su Ren bowed his hand to Ji An Gong: "Thank you very much Jing Zhaoyin, I will repay this kindness in the future!"
Ji An shook his head, smiled, turned around and walked out of the room.
When it got dark, the servant came in and lit the lamp. Su Ren sat in the same place without moving. The servant came in and lit the oil lamp, and then slowly left. They didn't know who the person was inside. See the censor.
The doctor and Jing Zhaoyin kept coming to visit, and they began to pay more attention to it. They closed the door gently, and there was another person standing outside the door. The boy who lit the lamp shook his head, and then the two of them tiptoed to their rooms.
When the moon rose, there was only one gentleman standing at the door. He was taking a nap against the wall with his arms in his arms. There were many rooms in the yard, but only Su Ren's room had the lights on. A black shadow quietly appeared outside the wall.
, looked inside, and jumped down the wall. The man didn't notice it, but suddenly a sharp blade was pressed against his neck.
"Stop talking! Otherwise it will kill you!"
The gentleman hurriedly shut up, sweating coldly and letting the man in black control him. He had also heard about the assassination by the man in black at noon. He could guess the origins of those people, but he didn't expect that he would come back at night and let himself encounter them.
Go up. At this time, I just want others to spare my life.
A wet handkerchief covered the gentleman's mouth and nose, and the strong smell of alcohol penetrated his nostrils. He did not dare to struggle, and had difficulty breathing, so he could only take big gulps. Soon he felt drunk, and could neither see nor hear anything.
He fell softly to the ground.
Letting go of the gentleman, the man in black imitated two bird calls, and three more people came in from outside the wall. One of them was wearing the gentleman's clothes and stood in the original position of the gentleman. The remaining two grabbed the fainted one.
The gentleman got into the garden nearby. He looked around and saw that no one had been disturbed. The man in black pushed gently and the door opened with a creak.
Su Ren didn't hear anything going on outside. He spent an afternoon sorting everything out. The original prediction and plan were completely wrong, so they had to be re-formulated. It was impossible to rescue the two gentlemen together, only one
Come on. It stands to reason that Dong Zhongshu was imprisoned earlier and he was Su Ren’s prospective father-in-law, so he should be photographed first. However, the difficulty of rescuing Dong Zhongshu is much greater than that of Wen Dang.
The door was pushed open, and a dark shadow came in. Su Ren glanced at it: "Pour me a glass of water!"
The black shadow actually walked over and poured a glass of water, holding it in front of Su Ren respectfully. Su Ren took it and took a sip: "What's going on outside now?"
The shadow paused for a moment and said: "Miss Dong strictly prohibits anyone from going out without permission. The story of heavenly punishment is spreading among the neighbors. Everyone has a bad impression of Princess Guantao's mansion."
"I'm asking about the movements of the officials. No matter how much trouble the people make, it won't be of much use!"
The black shadow said quickly: "Except for a few veterans headed by Xuchang, everyone is keeping a low profile. It's just that Zhuang Qingzhai seldom goes outside the city recently, and those subordinate officials of Guang Luxun go more frequently."
"Can we find out who owns that place?"
"It used to be the Imperial Mansion. It was bought by Cao Shou, the Empress of Pingyang, to house the outer concubine two years ago. Recently I heard that the concubine gave birth to a son for Cao Shou. These people are here to congratulate me."
"Such a lame reason. Cao Shou's wife is Princess Pingyang, and Princess Pingyang's brother is Your Majesty. You can figure it out with just a little thought. With Cao Shou's weak temper, he still dares to have an extramarital affair behind Princess Pingyang's back?"
"Sir, when are you going out?" The man in black pulled down his mask, it was Ah Xun.
Su Ren smiled: "We have to wait. To save the teacher, the Queen Mother must nod. This matter must be settled first! I'll give you a task."
Ah Xun quickly bent down and raised his hands: "Sir, please give me your orders!"
Su Ren waved his hand, and Ah Xun went over to listen. He nodded while listening. After Su Ren finished speaking, Ah Xun smiled: "Here! It's time to go back to Chengdu for a visit!"
Su Ren knew that Ah Xun had a sweetheart in Chengdu. Only those with seven emotions and six desires can be called human beings. Ah Xun is also a human being. Su Ren did not reject it: "If you like it, come to Chang'an. You are so far away, don't you still think about it?"
Can we also find one in Chang’an?”
Ah Xun smiled and said, "How can you? When I came last year, I was pregnant, and this year I said I was going to give birth to a son. This time I will take him as well!"
Su Ren slapped his forehead: "Look how I forgot about this!" He reached out and groped in his arms for a long time but found nothing: "When I go out, I will give you a big gift!"
The rooster had already crowed, and Ah Xun and Su Ren murmured in the room all night. They pretended well, and no one came to bother them. Looking at the white outside, Su Ren said: "Let's go, remember, you must put it in the house."
The multicolored stone was placed in a conspicuous place in Shopkeeper Hu’s house. Hu, Liu, Fang, and Wu’s family would not keep it! Also, tell Leng Jun and Xiao Jinzi to look clearly when robbing people. If I hadn’t shrunk yesterday
Quick, your head will be gone!"
Ah Xun smiled, turned over and went out, disappearing into the mist. (To be continued)
