Hello Chang'an
/ Hello Chang'an Chapter 209
At the age of eight or nine, was he punished in public on Zhuque Street?
Ming Jin is not a person with a very good memory. He has almost forgotten everything that happened when he was a child more than ten years ago, but he still clearly remembers that incident.
To be precise, it was the shock that that incident brought to him at a young age that he could not forget.
When he was eight years old, he took his servants to the street to watch acrobats. A boy of his own age accidentally stepped on the uppers of his shoes. He was very annoyed and asked the boy to kneel down and lick him clean.
When the other party refused, he asked his servant to tie him to a willow tree on the street and hit him with a slingshot.
Many people were watching, and some troublesome people wanted to step forward to stop him, but were scared away by his words -
He said very loudly - "My cousin is the current Crown Prince, let me see who dares to stop him!"
Sure enough, amid the astonishment, no one dared to say anything.
Surrounded by those respectful and fearful eyes, he was extremely proud.
Just as the slingshot in his hand was aimed at the boy's forehead again, there was the sound of horse hooves approaching, and the crowd suddenly separated.
It was Xuance's army that came, and the leader was his cousin, the prince.
The leading young man on the horse was not wearing any armor, but was wearing the general's official robe of General Xuance Army, with golden pythons embroidered on his boots, and hanging on his waist was the Sunshine Sword that even he recognized.
As a man, the young man's stature and frame were not considered tall and majestic, especially against the backdrop of the mountain-like Chang Kuo and A Dian on the left and right, he looked even thinner and thinner.
No one thought anything was wrong. After all, His Highness the Crown Prince was weak and sickly when he was a child. He was originally thought to be the kind of person who could not survive. He also joined the army too early to gain experience. The conditions were difficult, so it was normal to be thinner.
But no one in the army would despise the opponent because of this. Those voices that secretly despised and ridiculed him earlier have completely disappeared with the passage of time and the numerous achievements of the young man's sword.
And what the young man is now holding is the Xuance Army formed by his own hands. He is united and follows wherever his sword points.
Ming Jin and You Rongyan immediately dropped their slingshots and stepped forward to salute.
But he was a little scared. He had always been in awe of this cousin whom he rarely saw. This was true before, and even more so after that day -
Because his cousin punished him, he was beaten with ten sticks in public, and he was made to admit his mistake and apologize to the boy.
The stick hit him really painfully and made him lie down for a full month. Even though his father said he was merciful because of his young age, if this was really the way the army used it, he would be disabled even if he didn't die.
He clearly remembered the situation when he was punished. There were countless people watching, and the fool A Dian was still there, seriously teaching him to be a good boy. It really embarrassed him, and he has hated that fool since then.
But he didn't dare to bear grudges against his cousin, and his parents didn't dare to complain at all, because they all knew that the reason why the Ming family existed today was because of the crown prince.
From then on, whenever his cousin was in the capital, he was used to staying on his own, but his cousin's time in the capital was too little. Later, the cousin who had won countless battles and was about to inherit the throne was injured in the war. Recurrence leads to short break and early death.
Fortunately, although my cousin is dead, I still have my aunt. In those years, my aunt used my cousin's reputation and achievements to naturally take charge of the harem, and not just the harem.
As far as Mingjin was concerned, everything went smoothly afterwards. He gained a more distinguished status than the children of the Li family without giving anything.
Precisely because everything went so smoothly, he had not thought about the scandal of being punished on the street for a long time when he was eight years old, until he was mentioned again by this girl who was about to die in his eyes -
"It seems that the Ten Army stick was too light to make you remember it." The girl's bright and cold eyes were fixed in his eyes, and the hand holding his arm was without warmth: " Then today, we should make up for her and completely correct her origins."
Ming Jin looked confused and confused - Ten Army Sticks...how could she know so clearly!
In a daze, he felt that the eyes in front of him overlapped for a moment with the eyes that had intimidated him for many years in his memory. He wanted to retreat almost uncontrollably, but was unable to retreat because he was controlled by her.
With so many emotions intertwined, Ming Jin panicked and yelled: "Who do you think you are? You deserve to talk to me like this!"
He raised his other hand to strangle her neck, but as soon as he stretched it out, she held him tightly again.
As his vision became clearer again, he looked at the sea of people looming outside the attic. Ming Jin was angry and uneasy: "Where on earth is this...what do you want to do to me, you bitch? Who are those people!"
"Does it matter who you are? After all, everyone in the world is just ants in your eyes." The girl's blood-stained mouth slightly curved and said: "But these ants will soon be able to send you to where you should go - I mean , you are going to hell.”
Ming Jin laughed strangely and struggled violently: "You are dreaming!"
"It's time for you to wake up."
Chang Suining's hand holding his arm suddenly exerted force, and there was a "click" sound, and the sound of a broken joint rang in Mingjin's ears.
Before he could even let out a complete scream, the girl suddenly let go of him. He was unstable due to the fierce struggle and suddenly staggered forward as he suddenly let go of his strength.
At this time, the girl had an indifferent expression and turned slightly away from him.
Ming Jin's pupils suddenly tightened, and he threw his body over the fence and fell downstairs with a loud "bang".
The height of the first-floor attic was too high to kill anyone, so Ming Jin screamed and curled up into a ball.
In the eyes of the people downstairs, he slipped and fell, but for a while, no one stepped forward to help him.
There was a mixture of shocked and angry comments everywhere.
"You evil spirit is worse than a beast! Give my sister-in-law back to me!"
Chang Sunji stepped forward, grabbed Ming Jin by the neck, and punched him in the face.
Soon some tribesmen and servants pulled Changsun Ji away. When the young man was pulled away, he cursed and kicked Mingjin.
Ming Jin fell to the ground and uttered the word "medicine" intermittently. He tried hard to see clearly who those people were and why these people were so bold and dared to ignore his life and death injuries.
With his vision blurred, he vaguely saw Mingluo's face, which was particularly cold at the moment, and immediately gave an order: "...call me a doctor quickly!"
At this moment, Ming Luo couldn't tell whether she was more angry or sarcastic when looking at the scourge who had caused such a huge disaster but still had no fear of it. In other words, she had no time to care about a mortal man anymore.
Ming Jin can only die.
But he will die as soon as he dies, and the trouble he caused is not so easy to quell!
Min Luo's fingers were cold and trembling slightly. He no longer glanced at Ming Jin. Instead, like most people at this time, he slightly raised his eyes and slowly looked at the girl in the attic.
The robe the other party was wearing was dirty and messy, one sleeve was cut, his extremely black hair was disheveled, and there were mottled blood stains on his face. He looked dark and messy, and not at all decent.
The cold wind blew up her blood-stained hair that stuck to her cheeks, and a steady drizzle fell into the pavilion. The rain and mist hung on those expressionless eyebrows, adding a bit of unreachable chill to her.
Because of the rain, the white crane standing on the top of the pavilion let out a chirp, flapped its wings and left.
The folded sacrificial inscription was discarded by Bai He and fell from above. The girl reached out to catch it.
The sacrificial inscription fell down and unfolded in her hand. She looked at it and recited: "The sages above..."
Her hand holding the sacrificial inscription was dripping with blood. She didn't realize it. She lowered her hand holding the sacrificial inscription to her side for a moment. When she looked at Taifu Chu, Song Xian and others, she raised her hands to hold the ceremony in front of her.
"The sages above, now protected by the most holy ancestors, have brought you all here to prove the word justice - just like a big window, when the light of heaven enters and discloses the heart, all good things will come out. Thank you very much for your willingness to uphold justice and prove it. The way to all good."
After the sound fell, the door of the attic was opened from the inside, and skylight poured into the dark pavilion, just as she said, "The skylight comes in when the window is large."
Song Xian was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to return the salute.
As the door of the attic was opened, two women's figures came out one after another. One of them stumbled and fell to the ground, looking embarrassed. It was Chang's wife, Mrs. Ying Guogong. The plan was completed. Chang Suining's men untied the master and servant and allowed them to run out.
At the same time, all the people brought by Chang Suining in the attic had withdrawn from the back door, including Ming Jin's roommate named Sushuang, who was also taken away.
"...Where are we going?" Guoshuang asked uneasily.
"In exchange, we promised to give you a way out, so of course we have to agree." Yao Jin said to her: "If you appear in front of others at this time, you will inevitably be taken back to the Ming family for disposal, so you can just leave with me. Can."
"Then...where am I going?"
Yaojin: "When you have a new identity, you can go wherever you want."
The drizzle drifted into her eyes, which was cold but seemed to contain the hope for the growth of all things. Sushuang finally looked back at the crowd gathered around, and then left without looking back.
She doesn't have to die, she can live again.
The Chang family who "escaped" never expected to face such a situation.
From the endless crowd of people, countless eyes fell on her, as well as her evil son, who was lying on the ground in embarrassment, groaning, and accepting a silent trial.
She panicked for a while before her eyes found Chang Sui Ning, who was looking down at her from the attic.
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the other party: "...It's her, she tied us here!"
He also urged Mingluo and the chamberlain: "Hurry, take her down quickly! Leave her to Dali Temple for disposal!"
No one paid any attention to her.
Mingluo looked intently at the aunt who failed to achieve anything but failed.
Chang Suining turned around and walked down the empty attic, standing on the stone steps outside the building.
Just when Mingluo was about to have people evacuate the crowd temporarily and take Chang's mother and son down first before talking, he suddenly heard the sound of the crowd being startled.
A group of forbidden troops opened the way in front, and the crowd quickly moved to both sides, leaving an empty path.
"The Holy One has arrived!"
Mingluo was startled and subconsciously glanced at Mr. Chang. The saint actually came here in person? !
The crowd paid homage one after another.
Wei Shuyi also arrived, and he saw the thin but straight figure at a glance.
Chang Sui Ning looked at the Holy Emperor who was surrounded by the palace ladies.
It seems that I guessed it.
But it's still a little late.
So, she narrowly won this time.
Chang Sui Ning also raised his hand to salute.
In the Confucius Temple, only kneel down to worship the sages. This is the rule.
The Holy Book Emperor stood still and looked at the girl standing quietly on the stone steps with her eyes lowered.
She arrived a step late. Although the Imperial Guards arrived before her, she had already thought of it and asked someone to explain to the commander of the Imperial Guards. In such a situation where everyone was watching, she could no longer act forcefully——
As expected, this is exactly the situation.
She hadn't heard what happened, but she didn't need to.
"I'm relieved to see that Mrs. Chang is safe and sound now." She looked at the girl, then at the Chang mother and son, and she couldn't help but ask: "But I came late, so I don't know what happened -"
There was no need for Chang Sui Ning to speak. Grand Tutor Chu took a step forward and said, "Please allow me to report everything to Your Majesty!"
"Master, please speak."
Hearing that although what Taifu Chu said was true, he was biased towards Chang Suining every word, and only described Chang Suining as a victim. Mingluo looked at the girl who was being protected by Taifu Chu and others, and asked: "But if Chang Suining The lady is the one being coerced, so why are mother and Ashen here? Is it really a coincidence that the ceremony was disrupted today and all of this?"
Many literati, as well as the Holy Emperor, also looked at Chang Sui Ning.
"Of course it's not an accident." The girl said calmly: "Although your brother came here on his own, I used myself as bait to lure him here. It is true that Mrs. Chang assassinated me, and all the people hired by her have confessed. , all the confessions are in my hands—"
"I was almost killed by an assassination, so I took advantage of the situation and fought back to make the truth known to others. This is a fact."
The girl looked at the emperor and asked seriously: "May I ask Your Majesty, is it wrong for my daughter to choose to fight back?"
It wasn't just the Chang mother and son who fought back.
The two eyes met silently through the cold drizzle.
Chang Suining just looked at the aloof emperor with questioning eyes.
She designed it, so what?
Even if she has a conspiracy, it is for evil and to seek justice, so why wouldn't she dare to reveal it to the public?
In full view of the public, Mingluo couldn't judge her, and neither could the emperor.
The other party chose to sacrifice her brother to preserve the reputation of the imperial mother clan for political needs and to "preserve the big with the small." But now, with thousands of scribes present, the importance is clear again, and the other party has no second choice.
"There is nothing wrong in counterattacking." Emperor Shengce looked at Chang Sui Ning and said, "It was my fault. I failed to restrain myself first and failed to observe later. I am unworthy of General Chang."
"Fortunately, with the protection of our ancestors, no big mistake has yet been made. Since the fault lies with the Ming family, I have no reason to cover it up."
The emperor's disappointed and cold eyes fell on Chang and Ming Jin, and said: "Someone, take Chang's mother and son to Dali Temple immediately!"
"yes!"
"Saint!" Mrs. Chang was horrified and shook her head in panic: "The reason why I did this is to get rid of the bad luck for Dasheng for you!"
She said, pointing to Chang Suining: "I am not here for myself. If this evil star is not eliminated, there will be no peace in the great prosperity of the country!"
She still had a shred of sense, and instead of just blaming this disaster on the Ming family and the emperor, she called it a disaster on the Great Sheng, in order to gain a more foothold and a more high-sounding name in front of others.
The Holy Book Emperor frowned: "It's ridiculous, how come there is such a thing as a bad luck star!"
Changshi looked at Mingluo subconsciously.
Mingluo's heart suddenly tightened.
Good night!
