178 Night Detective

Zhong Yangui's night was not easy. Chen Yun was the first, but he was definitely not the only one who suddenly remembered that he had a sister next to King Lu Fang of Wu. Although there was not only Zhong Yuancui next to King Wu, he was qualified to speak, and only Zhong Yuancui might be affected. And Zhong Yangui was like an excellent businessman, and told every pleader that he would agree to their request - to get Lu Fang's true thoughts and deal with them one by one. Although it was impossible to determine whether these people were really as satisfied as they appeared to be, one thing was certain: this night was a sleepless night for many people in Jianye City.

The Weiyang Palace had passed the curfew moment, and the palace gate had been closed. The elite soldiers in the front office of the Palace Guard, who were responsible for the mission of the Guard, were patrolling the key points of the palace. The heavy footsteps echoed in the air, and the orders to hand over the posts came from time to time. Since Lu Fang did not have many wives and concubines, naturally there was no need for many palace maids and eunuchs who served him and his wives and concubines. Therefore, the most crowded people in this palace were not the palace maids and eunuchs, but the soldiers in the Palace Guard who were responsible for the mission of the Guard. The Weiyang Palace was not a harem, but a large barracks.

The distance between Chonghuafang and the palace city is not far away, but the atmosphere is very different. If Weiyang Palace is majestic and magnificent, then Chonghuafang is full of misery. After all, the main function here is to detain guilty concubines and some special people who are difficult to be detained in prison. To put it bluntly, it is a relatively advanced prison, so the atmosphere will naturally not be much better. Although it is the Chinese New Year, it is still deserted, as if time has frozen here.

Shen Liniang sat in front of the window, staring at the candlestick beside her with her eyes intently. The flames were beating on the candlestick, reflecting on her bright and bright face, showing a thrilling beauty. The decorations in the house were very exquisite, except that the space was smaller, almost the same as the utensils she had in the palace in the past. Obviously, this was specially ordered by Lu Fang, but the unfree life here still left traces on her face. It was not difficult to see sorrow and worry on her face, which was not in the past.

Perhaps feeling a little cold, Shen Liniang stood up and walked to the wall to pick the long sword hanging there. While stroking the scabbard, she chanted in a low voice: "The feast of the brocade is open, the orchids are beautiful in the early years. The colorful colors are spreading from the ground, and the sky is spreading." As soon as she chanted here, her voice suddenly choked up. At this time, someone outside said: "I think the stars are falling, and the building is hanging like the moon. There is a unique smile on my face, and I come to the front of the nine branches."

"Lu Lang?" Li Niang said in surprise, her face full of unbelievable expressions. With a creaking sound, the outer door was pushed open, and a man with a purple robe and gold crown came in. It was Lu Fang, and he smiled and said, "Li Niang, I am here to visit you!"

A look of surprise and joy flashed across Shen Liniang's face, and then she returned to peace. She put her sword aside and bowed: "Sinner Woman, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"What are you doing?" Lu Fang took a few steps and helped Shen Liniang up. Looking at the beauty in front of him, he asked softly: "Liniang, you have suffered these days here!"

Hearing Lu Fang's familiar voice and feeling the familiar breath, Shen Liniang could no longer control her emotions. She buried her head in Lu Fang's arms and started crying in a low voice. Lu Fang stroked her hair and comforted her in a low voice. She made a gesture to Shi Shude outside. Shi Shude knew how to drive the maid out, and took her to the door and wait outside.

Chen Li Niang cried for a while, but she removed the resentment in her heart and felt much better. Lu Fang helped her to the couch and said softly: "I am here today to tell you good news. I guess you will be able to go back to the palace soon!"

Chen Liniang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly sat upright and asked, "Be serious about this?"

Lu Fang smiled and said, "Of course it's true, don't you joke!"

Chen Liniang then remembered the identity of the person in front of her and hurriedly gave a blessing to apologize. Lu Fang waved his hand to stop the other party's apology and said in a deep voice: "I expelled you from the palace and stayed in this Chonghuafang, first to prevent the population from being denied. After all, Shuxian's death has something to do with the people around you; secondly, it is to make the guy who is hiding behind the scenes and dealing with all this to think that he is a plan to catch him. That's why you suffer some grievances here, and wait until the truth is revealed and then compensate you."

Chen Liniang nodded and said softly: "I also know Lu Lang's difficulties. I don't see you here, and the others are fine. But Lu Lang is here tonight, is it that the guy behind the scenes revealed his head?"

"That's not yet!" Lu Fang smiled and said, "But it's almost done. That guy plotted to murder Shuxian, pulled Shuxian's death to you, and knocked you two down at once. He was just the supreme position behind me. Today I feasted for the ministers, and everyone persuaded me to become the emperor. If I were the emperor, I would naturally enthrone the crown prince and queen to achieve his goal. But I deliberately refused. Seeing this, the guy who was hiding behind the scenes would inevitably make a big fuss in it and reveal traces. Isn't this a good opportunity to capture him in one go and reveal the truth to the world?"

Chen Liniang was surprised and happy when she heard this. She followed Lu Fang for many years, and even this man was far-sighted. Many things he did inadvertently were often the backhands he left behind. Many powerful opponents finally took his way and had already regarded him as an invincible idol in his mind. Now he promised himself that he would return to the palace soon, which was almost a sure thing. He hurriedly stood up and prayed to the sky: "If the great compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, if the faithful girl can return to the palace this time, she will definitely reshape the golden body to the Great Ci'en Temple. Everyone in the temple will give alms. If the monks and lay people violate the oath, the heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

Lu Fang listened on the side and couldn't help laughing. She asked her to return to the palace to beside her, but Chen Liniang made a wish to the Bodhisattva, which was really ridiculous. Thinking of this, Lu Fang couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chen Liniang heard Lu Fang's laughter and looked back. She immediately understood why Lu Fang was laughing. She snorted and pulled Lu Fang up and said, "Lu Lang, don't sit there, come and pray to the Bodhisattva, and catch the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible and let me reunite with my husband." After that, she pulled Lu Fang to kneel down and pray together.

Lu Fang had no choice but to kneel down to pray with Chen Liniang, but he was already in his destiny and could not compare to Chen Liniang's swordsmanship. After praying for a few times, he felt soft and soft muscles and stiff, as if he had hurt somewhere. Chen Liniang, who was beside him, felt something was wrong, so he quickly helped him up and asked softly.

"I am old, and I can't hold on if I move my body!" Lu Fang smiled bitterly. He has been a clumsy and thought a lot after the battle of Xiangcheng. After the fall of Bianjing, he felt that he was unable to command the Northern Expedition Army himself, so he could only stay in Jianye for rest. Seeing this, Chen Liniang was massaged on Lu Fang's back and whispering: "Don't say this, but you are carrying a thousand pounds of burden on your shoulders now, and you can't feel comfortable. When the Runxing child comes back, he will pass the throne to him and regard himself as the Supreme Emperor. He travels with me for the rest of his life. Isn't it beautiful?"

Chen Liniang had very good massage skills and was very familiar with Lang Jun. After pressing for a while, Lu Ban felt much more comfortable and smiled: "What Liniang said makes sense. This time, she looked at the child who was moist and was safe. When he came back, he would let him supervise the country for half a year. As long as everything goes well, he would hand him the load of a thousand pounds of burden. I will go to Dongfu (Hangzhou) to retire! The scenery there is warm, and I like it very much!"

Lu Fang and his wife were talking intimately in the room. Time had passed without realizing it. Seeing that it was already four o'clock, Shi Shude's deep cough came from outside, which was a signal to remind Lu Fang to return to the palace. Lu Fang stood up and whispered: "Li Niang, it's going to dawn. If the traces are revealed, let the person behind the scene see it, I'm afraid that the plan will be broken!"

Chen Liniang is also a generalist. Although she was reluctant to leave her heart, she still stood up and said softly: "I respectfully send Lu Lang back to the palace. I hope that I can get my wish as soon as possible. The traitor will conquer the law and let Sister Shuxian be wronged!"

Lu Fang nodded, then turned around and went out. Chen Liniang walked to the window, pushed open the window slightly, revealing a slight gap. Looking at the backs of Lu Fang and his group leaving, she felt sad and happy. When Lu Fang and his group completely disappeared into the night, she put down the window in a lost state.

Perhaps it was because it was too late, or maybe it was because it was too excited. Chen Liniang turned around and rolled on the couch and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It was not until dawn that she fell asleep. She woke up at noon. Her close maid, eunuch, served her to get up to wash and have a meal. Perhaps because of Lu Fang's visit last night, Chen Liniang's appetite was quite good, and she ate a lot more than usual. After the meal, she went out for a walk to digest food. Although the area of ​​Chonghuafang is not small, it is a The higher-level prison is naturally far less gorgeous than the palace. However, Chen Liniang is in a good mood at this time, even the wooden house and the wormwood roof next to him are also wild and interesting. In his opinion, she has not put down her sword skills in recent years. She is not a weak woman, but today she is in high spirits. This time, she has already arrived at the west of Chonghuafang, which is quite desolate to the west. Chen Liniang is in a bad mood these days and is lazy to go out. It is actually the first time she has been here.

When Chen Liniang walked here, she was still a little unsatisfied. However, the two maids who were accompanying her were a little unbearable. When they were in the palace, they were Chen Liniang's female officials and Qianqian's weak woman. When Liniang had this incident, she was sent out of the palace by Lu Fang, so she naturally knew Chen Liniang's personality very well. Seeing that Chen Liniang had the intention to continue walking, the two looked at each other and smiled, "The Empress is in such a high interest today. Could it be that the King had any happy events last night?"

The female official's question just scratched Chen Liniang's itchy spot. She was about to speak, but she remembered the person behind the scenes mentioned by Lu Fang last night, so she retracted her chore and replied with a smile: "It's not a happy event, it's just that the king is still thinking about me!"

"The Empress said it's bad, isn't this the biggest joy!" The female official smiled, and the two female officials praised the empress for being favored by the King of Wu for decades. It was a great blessing, but she hoped that Chen Li Niang would not go any further, and also let their sore legs rest.

While the master and servant were laughing, a loud shouting came from the courtyard beside him. The master and servant heard it clearly. It was Tubai, a local local in Jianye: "Where did you come from? It's like a thief prisoner. I thought I was Chang'e from the sky and had a chance to rise again! One day I bought the sect shop and realized the benefits here!"

The Jiaofang mentioned in the scolding was where the official prostitutes of Tang Dynasty were. Many sinners ended up being infiltrated into the Jiaofang as prostitutes, the most miserable. Chen Liniang and the two female officials heard the filthy words in the courtyard, which opened their eyes. After a while, they saw two middle-aged women dressed as servants in Chonghua Court pushing out the door from the courtyard, all of whom were angry and cursing themselves. I guess the filthy words just now came from the mouths of the two of them.

The two of them went out to see Chen Liniang, and hurriedly bowed down. Such servant villains were the most aware of the situation and knew how to attract the power. Although Chen Liniang entered Chonghuafang, all the food and clothing were still the standard in the palace. Shi Shude (actually Lu Fang) came to visit from time to time. How could these villains not be able to see them, so they naturally did not dare to be rude.
