Chapter 18 (5)
Hu Wei was trembling in his heart, and he was trembling like a drum, saying, "What's wrong with the humble profession...is something wrong?... The empress's magical trick is better than Zhuge's rebirth. Hu Wen has always regarded you as a god, and I really admire it..." Shen Shiyun snorted coldly and said, "The flattering master who has no restraint is nothing more than three possibilities. One is to seek benefits and flatter; the other is to make a big mistake and be anxious to get rid of the crime; the third is to paralyze the master and wait for the opportunity to do something wrong. Tell me, which one are you?"
Hu Wei said, "I don't understand what you mean." Shen Shiyun sneered, "There is no need to play tricks in front of this palace, so why are you pretending to be confused? You didn't want to tell me the secret of Jade Bi before, just because you wanted to stay out of the matter, and I wouldn't tolerate you, and cause death, right?" Hu Wei said, "I am not intentionally deceiving the Empress, but just wanting to live a stable life in the deep palace. First of all, you have to learn to become a deaf and mute. Although Bei Zhi has not been in the palace for a long time, this principle has been learned from you."
Shen Shiyun sneered: "You are a smart person and know how to learn and sell it now. But you have already been deeply trapped in the mud, and it is already a delusion to look at me again. How many of my secrets do you know? How many of my plans have you personally participated in? I would like to remind you to settle Mrs. Ruhua for me and burn all the agarwood courtyard with fire; to travel thousands of miles to the hero conference to capture the thief of the Demon Cult; recently you bribed me Deshou and framed Concubine Zhen. If I really want to destroy your mouth, just these things will be enough to kill you ten or eight times."
Hu Wei was sweating in cold sweat on his forehead, and his one leg was already unstable in weight. In panic, he fell to the ground, hugged Shen Shiyun's heel, and begged: "Empress, I am humble to do your job and have always been loyal to you. Heaven and earth can be seen..."
Shen Shiyun finally showed a smile on her frosty face, and said warmly: "You have proved loyalty to me with your actions. I think you are your own person, so I will not harm you. Get up." Hu Wei burst into tears and hurriedly got up. He felt a thin cold sweat flowing down his back, which was wet on his clothes. He bowed and said: "Thank you for your kindness. Is it a villain to judge a gentleman's belly by the heart of a villain? It's better for you, Empress, but you are not like Chu Menglin's witch who broke the bridge across the river. The life of Bei Zhi has almost been given to her several times."
Shen Shiyun smiled faintly and said, "It seems that you hate Chu Menglin so much. If you are given a chance to let you escort her prison carriage parade in the street, would you like?" Hu Wei said happily: "One thousand will, ten thousand will! Empress, Hu Zhi is brave enough to ask for it. After the parade, can she be given to Hu Zhi? I... I cut this little girl alive to vent my hatred..."
Shen Shiyun said: "This one doesn't work, she's just our bait. But I promised you that if things go well, I will hand over the real Chu Menglin to you in the future and let you deal with it." Hu Wei said: "Really? False? This... I'm so confused..."
Shen Shiyun said: "You recognize the leaders of the thief in the Demon Sect, aren't you? You have difficulty in your legs and feet. In order to decorate your storefront, I will prepare a carriage for you to ride. All you have to do is to always pay attention to the people on the street and wait for the thief to take action." He told him the general plan and said: "You know and I know this, and don't even tell Luo Jin." Hu Wei said: "I understand."
Shen Shiyun smiled slightly and said, "By the way, it's not the same thing to always hold your leg injury. After a long time, I'm afraid that the broken bone will be difficult to cure, so I should go to the imperial physician to treat it as soon as possible." Hu Wei said, "Yes, it's easier for me to do things for the empress if my legs are cured." Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "Don't you think about yourself? I can see that you like Luo Jin, but which girl is willing to follow a disabled girl?" Hu Wei said, "I just want to point Luo Jin to him and said, "I am overjoyed and bowed with great gratitude."
After leaving the hall, he went to the imperial physician as he said, and only said that he was accidentally injured when he went out for work. The imperial physician knew that he was very appreciated by Concubine Yun and the emperor, so he praised his loyalty and quickly tied up his leg bones, tied them up with two thinner splints, handed him a pair of crutches, and prescribed some internal and external injuries, asking him to rest well and not fight with others for the time being.
Hu Wei agreed, but he still remembered Luo Jin in his heart. When he returned to his residence, he changed into a clean set of clothes, washed up, and came to the hall again. Seeing that Luo Jin's door was faintly hidden, he tiptoed to push the door and entered. Seeing her graceful figure lying on the table, her head swayed gently, her eyes kept alternating between the jade bi on the desk and the paper page, and his right hand was writing quickly. Hu Wei felt warm and thought to himself: "She is indeed loyal to work. The empress has misunderstood. I should find an opportunity to explain it clearly for her." He took out a pocket jade button from his arms, walked behind Luo Jin, pinched the jade button and passed over her head, and slowly lowered.
Luo Jin was frightened and screamed and jumped up. He saw that it was Hu Wei clearly, and said angrily: "It's you again? No matter how you walk, there is no sound. Want to scare me to death?"
Hu Wei said: "You are too focused and did not notice my footsteps. How could I blame me?" Luo Jin said coldly: "What's wrong with you? Who is allowed to trek into my room?"
Hu Wei smiled and said, "Miss Jin, we haven't seen each other for so long, why are we so cold to me? I have been thinking about you all the time, and I have never forgotten to bring you some souvenirs when I go deep into the royal tomb." He raised the jade buckle to her and said, "I originally found a jade bowl, which is exquisite and beautiful. I guess you will be happy, but unfortunately I broke it up for Chu Menglin, and many precious artifacts were not preserved. Only this jade buckle was small and finally survived. It was a gift I gave you." After that, he pulled up one of her hands and stuffed the jade buckle into her palm.
Luo Jin said, "Why are you so kind to me suddenly for no reason? You show your kindness to me!" He said in his heart: "Why did you give me a gift? If Mr. Chen is willing to give me something... Even if it is a piece of ragged iron, I will regard it as a treasure... He treats me, if he can have half of yours, no, one tenth of them, I will be content..." Thinking that the dream is hard to come by, I hate Hu Wei even more, and regardless of whether the words are appropriate, he blurted out: "The weasel wishes the chicken a New Year!"
Hu Wei smiled apologized and said, "Yes, you are a chicken, I am a weasel, I will definitely eat you in my life..." Seeing her angry face, she changed her words and said, "The stranger is uneasy, but if it were a man and a woman, she would be dedicated to nothing, and there would be too many meanings..." Luo Jin only said that he deliberately mocked himself and said angrily: "You don't care! It's not a soul-breaking tears, what's the rare thing?"
Hu Wei said in his heart: "You really know how to ask for a price everywhere. The tears of the soul are still in the underground palace of the royal tomb. I never want to enter that ghost place again in my life." He smiled apologized and said, "Apart from the tears of the soul, you can speak, and even the stars in the sky, I will pick them for you." Luo Jin spat: "Speak all the rumors, but people clearly don't want to pay attention to you..." He felt that he could not learn from Jiang Liechen's aura, so he dared not to lend him words, but his face turned red quickly, saying, "Hey, the Empress asked you to stay just now, what did you say?"
Hu Weixi said: "Do you know the Empress asked me to stay? Actually, it's nothing. She gave me a chance to make meritorious service and asked me to parade Chu Menglin in person..." Luo Jin said in surprise: "What? The witch has been caught?" Hu Wei was even more surprised and asked: "Why, the Empress hasn't told you?"
Luo Jin shook his head, Hu Wei said in his heart: "Lucky, I almost missed my mouth. The Empress has her own plan. If Luo Jin knew what she shouldn't know, she should have doubted me first, and my head would not be able to be saved." She had to pick up some superficial things and answered: "The demon girl is the common sweetheart of the two leaders of the Demon Sect. It was for her that she turned against her brother Jiang Liechen. Seeing that she was in danger, she would not sit idly by. The court has made complete preparations, and many of us were disguised among the onlookers, including the Taoist priest who was telling fortunes in the street, the beggar who was holding a broken bowl to ask for money, and even the tea doctor in the teahouse..."
When Luo Jin heard Jiang Liechen's name, his heart beat faster and thought to himself: "Who said Mr. Chen likes her? What's so cute about that damn witch? Let her die! But... I am an insider, and I must try to convey information." He forced himself to hide his compassion, pulled Hu Wei's sleeves, and said coquettishly: "It's so lively? I want to go and have a look. Since the audience can pretend to be a lie and the protagonist can pretend to be a lie, you dress me up like that witch and sit in the prison car. I will definitely cooperate with you, screaming miserably, okay?"
Hu Wei said, "This is not feasible. Let the Empress know. I can't afford to suffer. I'm not making things difficult for me?" Luo Jin snorted coldly and said, "I just knew you were cowardly. Forget it, I don't force anyone to do anything. Anyway, a cripple man is playing monkey tricks in the street, and there is nothing good about that witch?" Hu Wei said, "I'm imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, what do you ask her?" Luo Jin whispered, "Because I heard... Young Master Jiying has a cold personality, I want to see how his sweetheart looks..." Speaking of the three words "sweetheart", he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Hu Wei didn't notice her strangeness and said, "Of course not as good as you. Cough, Young Master Jiying has a cold personality? Who did you hear the rumors?" He raised his thumbs up and pointed at himself in the opposite direction, and said, "That person, I have seen it. It's not cold, it's just that his personality is distorted. He is arrogant to anyone, as if he is 20,000 or 20,000 yuan, as if he has said great grace to you. Only by being so kind to An Yeyun and Chu Menglin, they both hate him very much. I think he has a hobby of abuse..."
Just as he was so excited, he was beaten and kicked by Luo Jin, pushed him out of the door, and threw him heavily at the door with a "bang", almost hitting the injured leg. This temper came out suddenly, without any warning in advance, Hu Wei was just confused, and I don't know what he said that annoyed this little aunt.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all night. The next day, the Demon Cult paraded in the streets, and the streets were indeed crowded. Everyone had been oppressed by the Shadow Sect for a long time and wanted to see the scene of evil retribution. The officers and soldiers held spears and evacuated several times on the side of the road before they drove out a road. The prison car was driving very slowly, so that it was to make people see clearly. There was a cage on the flatbed car, and Chen Xiangxiang was wearing a prison clothes, curled up in the cage, motionless, and his eyes were dissipated. People pointed and scolded, and many rotten vegetable leaves were really smashed into the cage.
Hu Weidu sat leisurely in the carriage, pulled up his injured leg, put on another one, and posed for crossing his legs. He lifted the curtain and looked out, but he saw nothing unusual. He gradually felt relaxed and leaned back slightly.
After walking along the way, the car suddenly suddenly slammed. Hu Wei was shocked by the rushing force and rushed forward. His forehead hit the wall of the car, grinning in pain. He lifted the curtain and was about to scold him, but he saw that the driver was hit by a sword and had fallen off his horse. He stood in front of him. The leader took a few steps forward, carried the steel knife on his shoulders, and said aloud: "The following are all brothers of the Tianhe Gang. This demon girl killed our Sima Gang leader. The sin should be taken! Please give her some convenience and handed her over to me for treatment. The whole gang is grateful."
Hu Wei saw that they killed the coachman as soon as they came up, and obviously came in preparation. Once they were soft and unsuccessful, they felt unhappy and said, "Sin Yan should be killed? We escort her on the streets and we were planning to behead him afterwards. Why do you need to do this for your Tianhe Gang?" The man said, "It is natural to kill someone. We must take her to the gang leader's grave to rectify the Dharma to comfort the dead of the old man."
