Hello Chang'an Chapter 208

 The bad premonition in Minluo's heart became more and more intense.

Seeing her leaving quickly, the attendant on the side quickly reminded: "Nu Shi... the festival is not over yet!"

Mingluo didn't even look back: "I'm going to get the sacrificial text back!"

At this moment, somewhere she couldn't see, something more important than the festival was about to happen!

"Qiao Jijiu..." The attendant could only look at Qiao Yang.

However, Qiao Jijiu did not have the consciousness to take charge of the overall situation. He even grabbed the sleeve of Taifu Chu's robe: "... Taifu, hurry up, let's chase the crane together!"

Mrs. Chu shook off his hand with a cold face: "If you want to go, you can do it yourself."

He has been particularly dissatisfied with Qiao's sacrifice to him recently. Before the ceremony began, he even scolded him - "Your students have disappeared, and you still have the energy to host a ceremony to honor Confucius!"

- "If this was my student, I would rather not be an official. I would rather take off my official robe and go find him myself!"

At that time, Qiao Jijiu just looked ashamed and remained silent.

The more Master Chu watched, the angrier he became. Throughout the whole ceremony, he had no communication with Qiao Jijiu.

At this moment, seeing that the other party was actually dragging himself to see the crane with great interest, Master Chu sneered again and again. What else was he chasing after the crane? With this attitude, it wouldn't be long before the crane would come to pick him up - he was expected to be beaten by these heartless people. He was so angry that he drove directly to Hexi!

"Taifu..." Qiao Jijiu, who was thrown away, grabbed him again and lowered his voice: "This crane has a spirit. If you follow it, you might be able to find my student!"

Master Chu was startled when he heard this and stared at Qiao Yang in surprise.

-what for?

Qiao Jijiu couldn't help but pull the person away quickly: "If you don't leave, how dare those scribes leave..."

Sure enough, the Confucian scholars who had been unmoved at first saw that the old master, who was the leader of scholars in the world, was also chasing the crane, and they all hurriedly followed him.

"Brother Song, this is auspicious, let's go and see it too!" Tan Li was very enthusiastic. In addition to working hard to study, he was also keen on doing all kinds of auspicious things to pray for high school in the coming year.

The crane sometimes hovers on the spot, waiting for everyone to catch up, and then continues to fly forward. When this image falls in the eyes of everyone, it becomes even more spiritually abnormal.

Because of this white crane, the Confucius Temple was agitated and noisy, with crowds of people and the atmosphere was high for a while.

In the palace city not far away, the Manlu Palace, the residence of the emperor, was silent and empty at the moment.

Not long ago, the commander of the Forbidden Army sent out to search for the person returned and reported that the person had not been found yet.

The Holy Emperor's brows tightened.

They have been looking for people everywhere since it was still dark, inside and outside the city. They have searched all the places that need to be looked for...

At this point, she has almost concluded that Ming Jin's disappearance must be related to Chang Suining.

Chang Suining disappeared two days ago, and Chang's family was also missing... At first, she also thought that the girl was the victim, but as the search intensified but found nothing, she gradually realized that the girl in everyone's eyes was evil. The young girl may have hidden in the dark and become a real hunter.

Where is Keren hiding?

If they were retaliating impulsively, they would see the bodies of Chang and Ming Jin at this moment.

If Ming Jin came to threaten her in exchange for Chang Sui's life, now that he has succeeded, why should he continue to hide?

To judge its meaning, you need to look at her past travels. The Holy Emperor recalled all the past impressions about this girl in his mind.

Dayun Temple was wise and courageous in fighting the elephant, the Imperial Academy was punished and the king was corrected, and a master's banquet was held at the Tai Tower to gather all the people. Furong Garden bluntly rejected Li Lu and Cui Jing, and also rejected her proposal to grant the position of female official -

The Pei family, the Chang family, the Jie family, the Ming family... She never retreated in the face of the dangers and injustices that had been done to her and those around her.

Not retreating in front of others...

After the dragon case, the empress suddenly raised her eyes and looked outside the main hall. It seemed that through the layers of palaces, she could hear and see the sound of drums in the Confucius Temple and the gathering of thousands of scribes.

"Have you ever searched the Confucius Temple?" she asked suddenly.

As the emperor's confidant, the commander of the Imperial Guard's face froze: "Today we are offering sacrifices to Confucius, no one dares to enter the temple to disturb us!"

Moreover, the Confucius Temple is the most lively and eye-catching place in the city today. How could the other party choose to hide here?

"I'm afraid that she didn't plan to hide. She hasn't appeared in two days. She just used the illusion of hiding to confuse her sight and wait for the opportunity..." The Holy Emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said solemnly: "Hurry up and lead the people. Go to the Confucius Temple and take strict precautions to prevent any accidents from happening!"

"yes!"

The commander of the imperial army did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately retreated.

The Confucius Temple was built between the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Academy. It can be reached in less than two-quarters of an hour by heading west from Shangshu Province.

For a moment, several groups of forbidden troops shuttled through the palace corridors and rushed towards the Confucius Temple.

The commander of the imperial army retreated for a moment, and the servants' loud singing came from the Manna Palace -

"Show off at the Confucius Temple!"

The emperor's carriage was quickly prepared. With the support of his chamberlain, the emperor climbed onto the carriage and looked steadily in the direction of the Confucius Temple.

In the Confucius Temple, the crane with the sacrificial inscriptions in its mouth landed on a three-story attic, followed by everyone.

This place is located in the northwest corner of the Confucius Temple. It was originally used as a library. Later, because a new library was built, this place was abandoned and abandoned.

Not far away, the musicians in front of the Dacheng Hall did not dare to stop playing without authorization, and the peaceful chapter of peace could still be vaguely heard.

Amidst the distant music, the white crane standing on the top of the pavilion made a loud cry.

Everyone looked up, wondering why the white crane landed here.

Until the next moment, there was a sudden loud bang near the railing on the second floor of the attic.

Inside the building, Chang Sui Ning, who had been dealing with Ming Jin for a long time, heard the crane's cry and knew that the time had come.

She seemed to stagger back and slammed open the closed wooden door of the attic with her body.

"boom!"

The door that was not completely locked was knocked open, and the light instantly poured into the dim attic where the doors and windows were originally closed with curtains on all sides. Ming Jin felt that it was extremely dazzling, and he subconsciously closed his eyes for a moment.

The next moment he opened his eyes, he saw blank and blazing eyes in front of him, his ears were buzzing, and his mind was confused and dull.

When he arrived, he drank tea laced with intoxicating drugs. He also drank alcohol for many days and took drugs. In addition, there were hallucinogenic pills burning in the attic. He had been inhaling them for a long time -

The superposition of these factors has made him, who has been moody recently, almost crazy. His vision and hearing have faded and become chaotic, and the evil thoughts and manic excitement in his heart have been magnified again and again.

He chased Chang Suining out of the attic and came to the fence on the second floor. He pinched her shoulders and tightly held her injured and bleeding arm with the other hand.

He could almost only see the person in front of him, and he laughed ferociously: "Chang Sui Ning, keep running, why don't you run away? Do you really think you can escape?"

Listening to the exclamations coming from downstairs, Chang Suining let him control her like crazy.

"Look, that's..."

"Prince Ming?!"

"And Mrs. Chang's wife!"

"Why is the Chang family lady here!" Tan Li, who was the fastest runner, was shocked: "Quick, hurry up and save people!"

He ran forward to open the attic door, but found that it was locked from the inside.

"Tan Juren..." Qiao Yubai appeared at some point, grabbed Tan Li's arm, and silently shook his head at him.

Tan Li's eyes were shocked, and Song Xian, who followed closely, also looked shocked. Master Chu arrived quickly and saw the girl covered in blood, with her back turned to everyone, her hair down, being restrained by Ming Jin at the edge of the fence. For a moment, her three souls and seven souls almost left her body: "This..."

Master Chu was shocked and angry: "Rescue that girl quickly!"

As he spoke, he didn't care about his old bones and wanted to enter the cabinet immediately.

"Taifu!" Qiao Jijiu tightly grasped Taifu Chu's wrist that had become flabby due to old age. His eyes were filled with distress, but his tone was rare and solemn: "You don't have to be unbearable, please listen carefully."

Taifu Chu's pupils trembled slightly, and he suddenly realized.

So, this is…

Qiao Jijiu nodded with him.

He had not seen her since he learned of the child's plan. Although he knew the plan and secretly cooperated in its implementation, he did not know that the child would look like this. It was also at this time that he realized that she was for How far this plan went.

As a father and a teacher, he couldn't bear it, but the current plan was to finish the scene and listen to it.

When people's senses fade away, they unconsciously raise their voices. Therefore, at this moment, Ming Jin's words almost clearly reached the ears of everyone in front of the pavilion -

"Now that you are in my hands, even if you want to die, it is not that easy... You provoked me to kill you, but I want to keep you alive! You say that I am not worthy of letting Chang Sui'an take the blame for me? Then I want to Let you take a closer look and see who has the final say!”

Everyone's expression changed.

—Take the blame? !

"Did you hear that?" Cui Lang said in shock: "It turns out that the seventh lady, the eldest grandson, was killed by the Ming Dynasty's son!"

It was like a huge wave rising everywhere, and this huge wave quickly spread among the crowd and people's hearts.

"absurd!"

Mingluo came quickly and said in a deep voice: "How can you take your drunken words seriously!"

She immediately ordered the servants around her: "The prince is drunk and loses his temper in front of others. Take him down quickly to avoid hurting Mrs. Chang!"

"yes!"

A group of chamberlains stepped forward quickly to break down the door and enter the pavilion.

At this time, another white crane flew up from nowhere, pounced forward and pecked the group of servants away.

Mingluo turned around and ordered the female envoy beside him: "Please order the forbidden troops to come quickly!"

On the day of the sacrifice, there were already patrols by the Imperial Guards, and soon a group of Imperial Guards arrived.

"Birds are alive, let alone humans!" Taifu, who had all white hair and beard, once again shook off Qiao Jijiu's hand, stepped forward and stopped in front of the pavilion door: "I'm here, let's see who dares to break through this door. !”

Mingluo was shocked and confused: "Why is Taifu like this!"

"This sentence should be taken from me asking about the history of women in the Ming Dynasty!" Taifu Chu raised his eyebrows and scolded: "As a female official in front of the palace, you preside over the world's civil affairs on behalf of the saints, and you should act as an example for the world's scholars - the words of the Ming Crown Prince have reached people's ears, and the situation is Before it was clear, you just said a drunken word and decided to expose the matter. How can you serve the people on behalf of the saint? "

Because of his status and reputation, being scolded like this in front of others made Mingluo's face turn red and white.

Could it be that even Taifu Chu was a conspirator in Chang Suining's plan today? How is this possible!

Song Xian clenched his fingers.

He finally understood that the reason their joint letter was withheld by Chang Sui Ning was because the real murderer was the heir apparent of the Ming family!

She didn't want them to be involved and affect her career in the future...

But now—

Song Xianwei raised his head and looked at the girl's blood-stained side face, then looked at his companions behind him and the countless literati who followed closely.

"That's right, right and wrong should not be shielded by words!" Song Xian stepped forward and stopped in front of the forbidden troops.

Although he has not yet entered the officialdom, he should speak uprightly and have the intention to eliminate injustice. If there is a Taifu in front of us at this moment, we still dare not do anything. How can we help the country and protect all people in the future?

Moreover, the "Dharma" does not blame everyone. There are countless people watching and hearing today. Thousands of scribes are here. As long as more people are willing to stand up, no one can break this door!

Tan Li and others immediately stepped forward.

The people in Wuer Society and Xunmei Society, as well as many supervisors, all stood against the imperial army.

They have all been paying attention to Chang Sui'an's case for a long time, and now they know the whole story in their minds, so they don't hesitate at all.

Although I don't know why the Prince of Ming Dynasty was so arrogant, and whether he was drunk and talking, it is definitely right to let everyone listen!

Mingluo's heart sank to the bottom. Are these people the accomplices of Chang Suining?

"Quickly...send the message home!" In the crowd, Changsun Ji quickly told his followers: "Hurry up and tell your father and grandfather about this!"

If we talk about timing, this is what my grandfather would call it!

If Feng Min is taken to Dali Temple at this moment, and his confession is consistent with Ming Jin, no one can use any excuse to excuse Ming Jin!

After giving instructions for his entourage, Changsun Ji quickly stepped forward and said angrily: "I want to hear what he has to say with my own ears. No one can take him away until the situation is clear. If there is any obstruction, I, the Changsun family, will regard them as accomplices and cover-ups." !”

As the victim of this case, he is the most qualified to stop him here today!

From above, Ming Jin's unbridled laughter and humiliating curses could be heard from time to time. The Imperial Guards looked embarrassed. They didn't know what to do and had to look at Min Luo.

Looking at the figures blocking the attic, Mingluo felt nervous and uneasy, but he also clearly knew that he could not confront these literati in front of others.

These people are not ordinary people, nor are they insignificant refugees. They cannot be killed, driven away, and their ears and mouths cannot be covered!

Therefore, this is the purpose of Chang Sui Ning choosing to act here today!

Listening to Ming Jin's increasingly arrogant and crazy words, Ming Luo's heart sank and he gave the waiter beside him a look.

We can't let this lunatic talk any more!

The waiter retreated.

Soon, a forbidden soldier left the crowd, walked around to a place out of sight of everyone, and quickly took an arrow from his bow.

After all, the opponent is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. This arrow must not kill someone, it only needs to hurt him. How to deal with it after that will be decided by the saint!

But before he could take aim at Ming Jin, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him.

"Got you! Bad assassin!"

A Dian pinned him to the ground, and the mountain-like figure suddenly sat on him, causing the forbidden soldier to scream miserably.

At this time, seeing that Ming Jin was confused and unable to say the key point, Chang Suining felt that he needed to ask: "I have never been able to figure out why you wanted to kill the seventh lady, your eldest grandson..."

Hearing her mention this matter, Ming Jin seemed to be showing off his achievements and said proudly: "Chang Sunxuan should have died long ago! She should have died long ago when she dared to reject my Ming family's proposal of marriage!"

Changsun Ji looked sad and angry.

It turns out that this beast has always hated his sister-in-law because of this!

"I only regret that I let her die so happily that day! I didn't have time to hear her beg me for mercy!"

"But it doesn't matter. If I don't have enough pleasure with her, you will have to suffer it for her!"

Hearing the reactions of everyone in the attic behind him, Chang Suining turned his back to everyone and raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.

Very good, that should be enough.

That's it.

She stretched out her hand and easily clasped the arm that was not enough to control her, and said in his ear: "Stop your delusions, I will only watch you pay for it with your life for her."

Ming Jin laughed angrily, trying to break away from her control: "You bitch, you dare to speak harshly even when you are about to die!"

The reason was close enough, and the only voice that he could hear clearly sounded in his ears again, but it was asking: "Do you remember when you were eight or nine years old, you were punished in public on Zhuque Street?"

Ming Jin's struggling movements suddenly paused. As the wind blew, the effect of the inhaled medicine was fading away. At this time, he seemed to vaguely see the silhouettes of people outside the building.

Good night!
