Chapter 52 Blood Road

In the middle of the night, the chill was heavy, and snow suddenly fell in the imperial city.A group of people walked in a hurry, braving the cold wind.Mr. Xi Lun, wearing plain clothes and bare feet, passed by Qi Lin under the flower bridge.

General Qi had seen soldiers die generously on the battlefield, but he never thought that such a look of fortitude could be seen in the eyes of a frail scholar. "Young Master Xi!"

Qi Lin rushed back, grabbed Xi Lun's sleeve, and squeezed it tightly, "Today is twenty-two, could it be..." Xi Lun said: "Don't worry, my son will seek justice for the general." , go generously.

The main hall is paved with bluestone with thin snow.Together with Xi Lun, there are five or six other nobles, all dressed in plain white and standing barefoot.

On the case, there are dozens of bamboo slips, which are as majestic as a mountain, and it is self-evident what happened in between.Mr. Han sat on the black and gold lacquered bench, squinting his eyes: "The New Year's Day Poetry Fair, the grand ceremony of the country, doesn't quite agree with what you said?" Xi Lun said with a smile: "It is a grand ceremony to eliminate harm for the country .”

Han Shui: "What a grand ceremony, what a good one to eliminate harm for the country. Let me ask you, what is the side of the Qing emperor?" A son said seriously: "Punish corrupt officials and restore the government and the public."

Han Shui: "That is to say, the court of Yunmeng is not clear now?" Young Master: "The minister is in power, how can there be clarity." Han Shui: "You know, this is not scolding me, it is scolding the emperor .”

Xi Lun said: "Your crimes are too numerous to write down. The emperor has his own judgment. Even if we kill a few of us, it will not help." Han Shui grabbed this sentence and said, "Who is behind it?"

The wind and snow continued, and the silver flakes were like blades. The young masters never said a word. On the spot, one of them bit his tongue and killed himself, and the blood stained the house.Han Shui frowned, covered his sleeves, and ordered his servants to clean the courtyard.Two or three young masters were frightened and trembled all over.

"Today's confession is a private matter of the government, and it should be dealt with lightly. If it is delayed until tomorrow, and the Ministry of Education makes a list, it will be sent to prison, and Yin and Yang will be separated." Han Shui advised.

Xi Lun looked at death as if he was home, and he was full of righteousness: "The emperor is above, how can we be perfidious people!" Han Shui couldn't hold back, coughed up a ball of blood, and scolded: "Pedantry!"

At this time, A Rui came and whispered in the adult's ear, saying that Lin Yun and Chang Ming had already landed in front of the sedan chair mansion.

Han Shui sighed: "Everyone, watch carefully, how the people you protect with your life use you and then betray you."

In the side room, inside a roll of cloth curtains, the young masters who were purple from the cold were holding hot tea and roasting the stove, their complexions gradually turned bloody.

In the main hall, the copper-colored snow was swept away, but there were no traces of blood.Lin Yun came in wearing a fox jacket, holding a box of painted flowers and candied fruit.Chang Ming, with his sleeves empty, followed closely, with a graceful gait.

"Let me guess, this is dried cherry blossoms." Han Shui greeted him with a smile.Lin Yun clicked his tongue: "That's so tacky. This is cherry blossom honey for me, brewed from Wuyang Mountain, the first box in the first year." Chang Ming shook his head: "It's still tacky." Han Shui waved his sleeves: "Please come inside. "

The main room sat down, the embroidered cotton curtain was lowered, and the servants placed the copper pot with animal gold charcoal, and the beeping sound of the charcoal fire could be heard clearly.Ari bowed and retreated into the side room.

Han Shui said: "Anyway, I can't sleep, how about you two watching the dawn together?" Lin Yun said blankly: "Who said I can't sleep anymore?" Chang Ming rushed: "I said it." , Peace is the best, I have been friends for so many years, so I don’t speak polite words.”

Han Shuixin picked up more than a dozen volumes of bamboo slips on the case and threw them to the two present.Lin Yun opened his eyes with a "wow", his eyes flew up and down, his smile gradually disappeared, and his brows were furrowed.Chang Ming was calm and breezy, glanced twice, and warmed his hands with tea.

The bamboo slips were slapped on the table, and Lin Yun said angrily, "How could they scold you like that?" Han Shui said, "You can just scold if you scold, Han doesn't care about his reputation."

Lin Yun glared at Chang Ming, his veins trembling: "New Year's Day Poetry Fair is coming soon, what's going on with the Imperial Academy, don't you know it's an insult to the national system?" Chang Ming said cheerfully: "Master Lin, don't you also go to this place?" A strategy theory." Lin Yun's face sank: "I don't." Han Shui smiled bitterly: "I know none of you are on it, so stop fighting."

Lin Yun: "Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you what is in my heart." Han Shui: "You say it." Lin Yun stopped fanning, saluted in the hall, and tears welled up in his eyes: "It is not easy to defend the country, and it is difficult to level the place. There are few tricks. Tough measures, how to implement policies, and how to stabilize the world? The ministers of the country, regardless of loyalty and traitors, are ignorant and misunderstood by those scholars."

The drama is true, and the love is also true.

Chang Ming smiled slightly.Lin Yun: "Chang Ming, I'm talking about you, what a joke." Chang Ming quickly restrained himself, got up and apologized.Han Shui added a few pieces of charcoal calmly, and said, "Now, hundreds of policy papers have been placed in the Ministry of Education, and the government and the public are staring at them, and they will never be retrieved."

Lin Yun said: "Your Majesty hasn't read it yet, but you can slow it down." Han Shui put down the tongs: "The Zhongshu Province is less than a hundred feet away from the imperial palace. Master Lin, it's late."

In the cold weather, Lin Yun shook his feather fan again, shook his head and said: "The emperor will be furious when he knows this, and he will blame the offender." Han Shui said: "Han is also in a dilemma, so I asked the two of you to discuss it together."

Lin Yun waved his feather fan and pointed at Chang Ming: "There is no need to discuss it. It is a crime of deceiving people and disrespect. This person is the mastermind." .”

Han Shui's hands clenched, his heart burning like fire.

Lin Yun put on a gesture of righteousness and extermination of relatives, and his tone was as firm as a mountain: "Although Xueshi Chang has been a guest in the Lin family, if the adults want to sacrifice him for the stability of the country, Lin will never complain."

In desperation, Han Shuichang sighed, and said: "Scholar Chang is only in the Imperial Academy, and has not been involved in it. Han will not frame people for nothing."

After the silence, Lin Yun seemed unintentional, and said: "Just now, the writing style of these few policy theories is exactly like Nan Lao, could it be written by his disciples?" Mr. Lun writes strategies and theories, and the content seems to be the same."

In the side room, Xi Lun wept silently, and his subsequent words became hazy and could no longer be heard clearly.Basically, it's just how to investigate, how to convict, how to do it...

The next day, at dawn, Zhongshu Sheng.A group of officials in green shirts hurried past in the white marble corridor.The wind and snow are boundless, and the cleaning is not enough, and the ground in front of the court is actually covered with white.

Si Hu rubbed his two silver eyebrows and let out a breath.Chu Rong asked to reply, only to hear that Long Yan was furious and did not see his foreign ministers all night.Chu Rong closed his eyes and sighed, saying nothing more.

After an all-night investigation, all those who came forward to abolish and retire from the film department were recorded on the roster and arrested and sent to the prison of the Ministry of punishment.When Su Mu reviewed it, there were more than a hundred people densely packed.

When the shadow guard asked when to do it, Su Mu picked up the ink pen, crossed out a batch of names critically, then handed it back to the shadow guard, and said calmly: "Go."

If you catch everything in one go, it will arouse the enthusiasm of the public, and it is easy to change.Therefore, deliberately missing a few fish will cause those literati to fight in their nests and catch them without a fight.

That day, black shadows swept through the streets and alleys of Lin'an City like a flood, trampling on white snow like mud.When the shadow guard arrived at Han's residence, Xi Lun had all his hair tied up and was about to die.Han Shui prepared some strong wine for him, and asked, "My lord, do you understand?"

Xi Lun smiled faintly: "Although the body is dead, the name still lives on. Xi died to abolish the film department, to die for the loyalty of the world, and he deserved it."

After the sons were imprisoned, Han Shui personally went to Nanfu, wearing plain clothes and bare feet, standing in the courtyard to plead guilty.Nanzheng is seventy years old, leaning on crutches, and does not back down, just proudly accompany him.

A crow weaves two white fur coats on its bare branches, with winter snow falling on its shoulders.Han Shui woke up, ordered his subordinates to bring some bamboo slips, and said with difficulty: "This is the memorial written by several disciples under your knees, and the Ministry of Film and Television specially fished it out from the Ministry of Education."

Nan Lao Heng raised his eyebrows and knocked all the bamboo slips flying with one palm, scattered all over the ground: "Qu Jie survives, I don't have such a disciple!"

Han Shui didn't want to argue, and continued: "According to Han's observation, these people have the ability to govern the country, and they should be kept for future use." Nan Lao: "I am not ashamed."

Shame and shamelessness, Han Shui didn't care too much, he just saved the person, and then recommended him to the official department, where he was transferred or promoted, and all of them entered the position of Qingyun.

Twenty-two, the five sons headed by Xi Lun took advantage of the New Year's Day poetry meeting to make disrespectful remarks, disturb the court, and insult the emperor, which is intolerable by the law of the country.On the twenty-sixth day, in order to correct the hearts of the people in the world, the Ministry of Shadows beheaded the five princes at the Meridian Gate, recording it as an evil change.

The people in the imperial city were used to seeing bloody storms, and only a few days later, Changle Street started to set off firecrackers and light firecrackers again.But there are rumors that Mr. Han is suffering from hysteria, and everything is blood red.

Tens of thousands of red chrysanthemums fell, and in the main courtyard, there was a mournful cry: "Get out, get out, you said you want white porridge, white porridge..." The jade bowl flew out of the threshold and fell into pieces, covering the ground White rice grains, steaming.

A Rui squatted down, picked up the broken jade petals with trembling hands, his heart trembled.Under the porch at the entrance, Hou Li lined up with handsome young masters, all of them looked anxious.

At this time, Qi Lin came with a jar of candied cherry blossoms in his arms. "General, you have been looking for this preserved fruit for more than half a month. I am so anxious." Ari wiped his sweat, "Now is not the time, please don't go in."

Qi Lin glanced at the ground: "He doesn't eat?" A Rui sighed: "It's a good white porridge, but it has been said seven times that there is blood in it. General?" Qi Lin went to the courtyard and washed his face A few pools of well water.

A Rui hurriedly followed, up and down.Qi Lin: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ari lowered his head: "How can you talk nonsense about this matter, my lord, he doesn't recognize anyone now, and everything he sees is blood."

Ignoring the question, Qi Lin opened the door curtain and entered the room.The room was dimly lit and smelled of choking loquat fragrance.The man was curled up on the couch, tightly wrapped in a ball of tiger down, with a thin face and hair scattered around the couch.

"Qingyan, look what I brought you." Qi Lin opened the pine flower curtain and shook the jar in his hand, "Three layers of honey, and sugar coating, very sweet."

The man turned his face sideways, his expression blurred: "You...you?" Qi Lin turned his back, took a deep breath, stepped forward with a smile, and hugged the man tightly in his arms: "Qingyan, don't scare me , you must remember me."

The canned cherry blossoms in the jar are sprinkled, and the couch is covered with white frosting.

Han Shui buried his face, and after a while, Fang cried out, "Master, Yan'er is hungry..."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Han has no choice about this incident, so please forgive me, little angels.
