Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 43

[43. Forty-two chapters]

This is the chapter of the anti-theft

once the country changed hands, and the history was written into a book.

The prison robe on his body was a little wider, and the frigid wind poured in from the cuffs, and it was so cold that it was piercing to the bone, and it was numb.

Su Jin looked up to the depths of the palace, where Zhu Nanxian was imprisoned. The Minghua Palace, which was once prosperous in the past, is now in a state of decay, as if a sassy emperor has reached the age of decay in an instant.

Minghua Palace is walking into the water – it seems that the rumors three days ago are true.

The servant pushed open the door of the Ziji Palace, and sang with a long voice line: “Sinner Su Jin brought–”

The people in the palace suddenly turned around, wearing a black robe and a crown, which made his brows look sharp and cold. The gas of cutting.

This is the real Liu Chaoming. Su Jin thought it was funny, and sighed that when he first saw him, he still thought that there is such a gentleman as jade in the world, and he has never seen him.

What should we call him now? Lord Shoufu? Regent? No, he supported an idiot to be the emperor, and now, he is the real king of the world.

The ambergris on the hall was stained with snow and condensed into mist, making Liu Chaoming unable to see the person kneeling under His Highness.

“Come here.” After a moment of silence, he ordered.

Su Jin didn’t move. Two guards stepped forward and dragged her for a few steps, and two shocking bloodstains were drawn on the ground.

When they got close, Su Jin raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, “You set the fire in Minghua Palace?”

He didn’t say anything, and Su Jin said again, “You want to burn him to death.”

Liu Chaoming said this . I saw the sad smile on her lips. Once upon a time, Su Shangshu, who was famous for his shocking world, has never been shocked by honor and shame, and has little affection and little righteousness. How could he be so saddened to despair for one person?

Liu Chaoming’s heart trembled slightly, but he couldn’t get the taste out of it. After a long time, he said: “You have committed crimes, colluded with the chaotic parties of the previous dynasty, and as a woman, you pretended to be a man and entered office, deceived the king, and committed a heinous crime. You will be exiled to Ningzhou today, and you will never be able to return.”

Su Jin laughed again. Laugh: “Aren’t you going to give me death?”

It’s better to go with the dead in this life.

The prison cart was waiting outside the Meridian Gate. She was in shackles, and every step she took, the sound of a clanging sound resounded in the world.

Liu Chaoming looked at Su Jin’s thin back, and suddenly remembered how he looked when he first saw her. It was the late spring of Jingyuan’s twenty-three years. But as beautiful as the spring sun.

At that time, Liu Chaoming felt that she was like himself, as clear and self-sufficient, and as penetrating as watching fire.

He only wished that he could strangle her at the beginning of his career, just because he was a little bit moved, he let her grow into a towering tree and let her part ways with him.

Now that she has lost her life, she can no longer forgive him.

“Su Jin.” Liu Chaoming said, “The fire in Minghua Palace was set by the first emperor himself.”

Su Jin’s back was stagnant.

Liu Chaoming said lightly: “He is still so stupid, two years ago, he tried his best to grab this emperor, thinking he could save you, but now he has set himself on fire and surrendered this country, thinking that it can change your life.

Su Jin didn’t look back. After a long time, she asked in a hoarse voice, “Why, you want to tell me?” ”

You didn’t ask, why didn’t you die?” Liu Chaoming said, “As Zhu Nanxian wished.” The

prison car ran over The snow road soon disappeared.

Snow fell from the sky again, and the snow particles fell on Liu Chaoming’s shoulders and merged into the cloak, but he stood in the snow for a long time, as if he could not feel the cold.

An elderly servant held up an umbrella for Liu Chaoming and sighed, “Why is this, sir?” He was used to seeing life and death in the palace, and he knew that people in the whirlpool should not be soft-hearted, because taking a step back would be irreversible.

“Master Shang Shu is already dead, but he has thoughts, and he told her like that, I am afraid that she will die and then be born. Master Su is intertwined in the power of the court and the opposition. Stupid, if one day, she can return to Beijing, and the adults, I am afraid that either you will die, or I will live.”

They have known each other for five years, and even the emperor in the palace has changed three rounds like a revolving lantern, so what’s the matter of life and death.

“If she can come back.” Liu Chaoming smiled, “I recognize it.”

Yan Ziqi didn’t look like a boudoir girl, she looked around all the way, and probably never received any teaching about “Etiquette and cleanliness, no ears to hear, See no evil.”

Su Jin watched her take a sip of tea and asked, “Do you know why your son put the jade seal on the Gongshi’s place?”

Yan Ziqi said: “Isn’t the Gongshi’s place guarded by military guards, they have never seen my house? Third young master, the young master will show them with this jade seal.”

Su Jin asked back: “He is the young master of the Zhan Shifu, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use the official seal to prove his identity?”

Yan Ziqi said embarrassingly: “My young master is in a hurry to go out. , without the official seal.”

“Really? Who are you, Young Master Yan, and even know if he has the official seal on his body?” Su Jin asked again, paused, clapped his hands, and called out calmly. : “Miss Yan.”

Yan Ziqi was stunned for a while, she specially combed her maid’s head today, wore a plain skirt, and dressed up inside and out, thinking that everything was foolproof, but Su Jin only looked at her. With two eyes, you can see through her identity.

Yan Ziqi stood up and smiled far-fetchedly: “Young Master Su misunderstood, I… what kind of young lady is a slave, but I only serve the third young master personally, so I know more.”

Su Jin’s eyes fell out of the window for three minutes , when it was time for the high value, the sky was already bright.

She didn’t want to entangle with Yan Ziqi too much, so she said to herself: “Although Su is a late governor, but when an ordinary maid sees me, she doesn’t call me an adult, or an official at any rate, but you call me son.” Yan Ziqi He opened his mouth and was about to defend himself when Su Jin interrupted: “One of them. Second, if you are really a maid, there is no reason why your official will pour tea with you, and you will accept it without refusing. When I saw me, I never saluted me, and since I entered the flower hall, you were also sitting, and I was standing talking to you, so it was obvious that I was used to being pampered, and the third.”

Su Jin fixed his eyes on Yan Ziqi: “I have to listen to the fourth. What’s the fifth?”

Yan Ziqi was so shocked by this big talk that she couldn’t speak, and after a while, she waved her hand embarrassingly: “Hey, that…” She seemed to be sighing, but also like a job on the chopping block. The fish is still trying to die.

Su Jin has also dealt with others since he was a child. After all, he has dabbled in the “Four Books of Women”, and he has a general outline of the description of the ladies in his heart, and he is definitely not as indecent as Yan Ziqi.

For a while, I recalled that she had been withdrawn from the family three times, and it was not without reason that it could be traced back.

However, this is also good, she is not delicate or noble, but she is easy to talk.

Su Jin has a purpose: “I can return the jade seal to you, but I want to know why you went to find Chao Qing that day, what did you say to him, and what was the reason for the dispute.”

Yan Ziqi thought for a while with her head lowered and dejected. Finally gave up the struggle: “I can tell you, but—” She raised her head abruptly and looked at Su Jin: “I have a request.”

Su Jin said: “You say it.”

Yan Ziqi said: “Today’s champion parade, take me with you. Go take a look.”

Su Jin was speechless and looked at her silently for a while.

I’m afraid it’s not sick, is it?

Yan Ziqi said eagerly: “Actually, I came here for this matter. It is inconvenient to explain the cause and effect of it to the son, but…”

But Su Jin was not interested in this cause and effect. It was already bright outside. She put Yan Ziqi in the flower hall, turned and walked to the front hall on duty. The left and right Yan’s jade seals were still in her sleeves. Ask Yan Ziqi to speak.

As soon as Su Jin crossed the threshold of the front hall, several people on duty in the room all stared at her.

Liu Yichu held a cup of tea unchanged for ten thousand years, “cough” twice, and looked very serious: “Mr. Su, our yamen are valuable, but we don’t want to bring family members.”

Su Jin’s brain Ren’er suddenly ached. , Turning around and looking, Yan Ziqi really followed silently behind him, his eyes met, and he smiled awkwardly at her.

Liu Yichu sneaked up to Su Jin, and bumped her with his arm again: “Where are you from? Are you allowed to marry?”

Yan Ziqi was afraid that Su Jin would reveal her identity, so he gave a salute. , said softly: “My lord, my lord has misunderstood. This slave is the maidservant of the third son of the Grand Fu’s mansion, and now I’m here to find Master Su to get a token of my son.” After a pause, he thought of a plan and said, “Young master. He also instructed the servants to take the token, and to give it to the little Marquis of Changping, the Lord Ren Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, I heard that he is currently walking the streets with the newly-appointed champion.”

Liu Yichu couldn’t help but widen his eyes: “Are you going to the parade?”

Su Jin on the other side had already ordered, “Aqi, prepare a carriage.”

The boy who stood in front of the hall and listened to the corner for half a day stuck his head out, looked at Su Jin, then looked at him again. Looking at Yan Ziqi: “I dare to ask the governor, is the girl going to Confucius Temple or Zhuque Lane? Depending on the time, Xin Dengke and his party should have a few bowls of tea when they go out of the palace gate.

” !” Su Jin suddenly said with a blue vein on his forehead.

At this moment, a person crawled in from the outside: “Master Liu, Governor Su, something happened!”

This person is a yamen who is on duty today, and was assigned to Zhuque Lane by Sun Yinde yesterday. , put it upside down.

Su Jin heard about it.

On the way of the parade, there were people making trouble, and the scene was completely out of control when they reached Suzaku Lane. went in. Some people even fought with officers and soldiers, and some were killed and injured.

The yamen’s face was pale, and he was still in shock: “I have never seen such a battle before, those troublemakers have even torn up the imperial list, I am afraid they will be tossing endlessly!”

Liu Yichu heard the death and injury, his face changed Bai Bai, asked: “Where’s the Sun Mansion? Didn’t he take someone on a tour earlier? Didn’t he follow Master Zhuang Yuan’s group? Didn’t he help Wucheng Soldiers and Ma Sizhi to manage this group of desperate people?” The

yamen swallowed He spit: “I originally brought people to follow, but when I went to the Confucius Temple, those who made trouble saw that the people wearing official uniforms did not recognize their six relatives, so Master Sun just…”

“You bastard!” Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yi Chu slammed a punch on the goalpost, and he didn’t care who was the senior or the junior. He turned to look at Su Jin and asked, “What should I do?”

Su Jin only felt that from yesterday to this morning, One after another, it was like a storm crashing on the shore, causing her temples to hurt. Now, at the critical moment of life and death, she has calmed down strangely, and out of the corner of the eye, she sees Yan Zi, who has quietly withdrawn step by step. Qi, shouted loudly, “Stop!”

With this shout, the two yamen guarding outside the mansion crossed the fire and water sticks and stopped in front of Yan Ziqi.

Su Jin instructed in a deep voice: “Come here, tie her up to me!”

Yan Ziqi was dumbfounded: “You dare—” Before he could finish speaking, a guard came with hemp ropes on their backs. The eldest Miss Yan family, thinking she was an ordinary maid, tied her up.

Su Jin asked Aqi again: “Is the carriage ready? Send her to the Taifu’s house.”

Yan Ziqi was so anxious that she cried: “You don’t fear offending the Yan family and the Taifu if you do this?”

Su Jin said: “If you go to Suzaku Lane, I don’t need to put my head on my neck.” She paused, and thought again that there are gangsters who are taking advantage of the chaos in the capital, Yan Zi. Qi may not be safe this time, so he took out the Yan’s jade seal from his sleeve, handed it to Yan Ziqi, and said coldly, “Take the self-defense.”

Su Jin watched Aqi lift Yan Ziqi into the carriage and turned around. Then he said to Liu Yichu: “You stay and prepare a horse for me.”
