Sealing Knife

“I once heard that the ancestor of the Qin family was a painter who was good at Danqing, especially the landscapes and flowers and birds. Therefore, the boys and girls of the Qin family in the past were famous for flying birds and beasts, and women used flowers and trees.

On the desolate mountain road, it was raining like weeping, Ye Fusheng didn’t know where to fold the piece of wild taro leaf covered his head, as if holding a green umbrella, and talking to the back of Chu Xiwei in front: “Just as he died in North Xinjiang ’s Qin Jingli and his son Qin Hebai, as well as Qin Liurong, a sister of Beixia who was once known as the first beauty of martial arts. “

Thirty-four years ago, Qin Hebai was chopped up for conspiracy to commit crimes, and 136 heads fell to the ground. He is still buried in the unnamed barren hill outside Tianjing City.

Times have changed, maybe some people talk about this desolate past after tea and dinner, but no one knows … When the sentence was first executed, were the 136 people really all Qin family?

Chu Xiwei’s footsteps paused, and Ye Fusheng took two quick steps, and was able to stand side by side with him. He saw the face under the hood turned slightly, his tone faint: “What do you mean?”

“A Yao, although you don’t like it, after all, I have been a spy for ten years. Although I don’t know much about Chaotang, I also heard about it anyway.” Ye Fusheng smiled, “Hundred Ghosts Gate” The previous owner married a disfigured woman as a wife, which is not a secret. “

The intelligence records show that the old master of the Hundred Ghost Gates is unreasonable and romantic, good beauty and fine wine, and he is still a wanton indulgence over thirty years ago. But such a veteran of love in the thousands of flowers and leaves, but finally chose an ugly woman with a ruined appearance.

The woman’s surname is Qin, with several scars mottled on her face, and the knots like a centipede crawling on her face, ugly and terrible, not to mention that she is still dumb and cannot speak at all. Shen Wuduan married such a woman. At that time, many people both regretted him and couldn’t help but look at his jokes. Only he was overjoyed, as if he had gotten a big bargain, and his life was complete.

In the imperial court, everything is in order, and Ying Yingwei will naturally not spend his mind on rivers and lakes, but for Ye Fusheng, this matter is not ordinary.

Jianghu people only know that the woman’s surname is Qin. Few people know that her name is Qin Liurong.

Bei Xia’s sister and sister Qin Liurong, a true score from his father and brother, can be said to be a shameless woman. When he was young, he walked alone in the rivers and lakes, and locked the dragon gun in one hand without falling into his family name. A beauty. “

However, after all, she was her daughter’s house and a natural dumb. She could not go to battle on the battlefield. She had to return home for a year on the rivers and lakes. From then on, she was aggrieved in the corner of the courtyard.

In the Qin Gong case that year, the Qin family was imprisoned, and she was no exception.

But in the short seven days before the execution, someone secretly sent Qin Liurong out of Tianjing, and found a female death row prisoner to administer a dumb medicine instead. On the execution day, he and other people of the Qin family splattered the long street.

It is beyond ordinary people’s ability to do such things in the eyes of the emperor. The temples and rivers and lakes do not exceed a handful of numbers, and the monstrous Bai Guimen … happens to be one of them.

Chu Xiwei’s voice was cold: “Why, do you want to be ruled by the commander of the Hundred Ghosts?”

“A Yao, don’t hurry up first, I’m wrong.” Ye Fusheng spread his hands innocently and moved the taro leaves past. “First of all, I’m no longer a shadow guard; secondly, this matter still has The article, you listen to me first. “

Chu Xiwei didn’t enter the Hundred Ghosts Gate for only ten years. Although he knew the old things in those days, he couldn’t be thorough. It’s just that he has a short personality, Shen Wuduan gave him ten years of grace, and Chu Xiwei worshipped him as a righteous father, so even if he knew the identity of the stepmother, he only used means to cover up with the righteous father. The ill-fated woman has lived peacefully for all these years, but it is a pity that her body was destroyed in the prison that year, and when she reached 50 years old when she went to Chongyang, she died.

He suffered great changes when he was a boy, and was even more uneasy when he entered the gate of the Hundred Ghosts. If this mischievous hostess wife took care of him, Shen Wuyuan might not treat him differently. This piece by piece, Chu Xiwei remembered in mind, but unfortunately unable to report.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiwei’s voice sank: “You and say.”

“Here is the forbidden army at the feet of the emperor, not to mention the death row, which is of great importance? I once tried it in person, not to mention that no fly can fly out. It is not easy for a big living person to come up with it. “It’s harder.” Ye Fusheng raised his eyebrows. “The roots of the Baiguimen are in Zhongdudong and Ninggu. You have to avoid all the way to go to Tianjing, and then steal the beams and columns in the dead cell to rescue the individual. Do you think there is a chance of winning? At first, Master Shen Men had no friendship with the Qin family. Why did he take this risk? “

Hearing the words, Chu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, and he thought about these things too. However, the time has passed so long that there are rare clues, neither Shen Wuduan nor Mrs. Qin will say anything, and he naturally shelved it. At the moment, when I heard this, I was once again aroused with my doubts, and my thoughts turned: “Although Mrs. Qin spent the rest of her life in Baiguimen, there were others who rescued her from Tianjing.”

Ye Fusheng raised two fingers: “There are two people who dare to bully the king, and one of them is my ancestor Gu Zheng who has never met him.”

Chu Xiwei frowned, slowly letting go.

Thirty-four years ago, the case of Qin Gong became famous. In order to avoid the looting of prisoners, Emperor Xian ordered the death row to be arranged into a celestial net. The main guards were the shadow guards who had not been abolished at that time.

If it was Gu Zheng who was the commander of the Shadow Guardian at that time, he wanted to save people. Although it was difficult, he had more chances of winning than outsiders.

“I heard you talk about Gu Zheng’s death before, and I felt puzzled.” Chu Xi’s eyebrows flicked. “Everyone who won’t be pleased by the first emperor will not be sentenced to Ling Chi for committing pleading.”

“Yeah, my ancestors have more courage than me.” Ye Fusheng’s mouth was tickled, but he couldn’t see a smile. A pair of peach eyes reflected the rain and mist, and it was more clear. “After he couldn’t plead for help, he simply resisted the purpose. , Originally intended to release Qin Hebai, but unfortunately Beixia’s brain was as stubborn as stone, and would rather die than go, just ask him to let his sister … So my ancestor agreed, stealing the beam and changing the column to get people out of death, then I sent Tianxin out of Tianjing, but I did n’t know what happened later, so that your old master took the people home. “

It was for this reason that Xiandi was furious, and he had long been dissatisfied with the Yingyingwei. Now he is even more intolerable. He rebuked Gu Zheng as a gangster gangster, abolished the Yingying Wei, and abolished Gu Zhengling to death. Then he relieved his anger.

Chu Xiwei finally understood.

From the moment when Jinshui Town, the misty water that had been crushed in his heart finally fell into rain at this moment. He and Ye Fusheng are now entangled in grievances, but the blood lineage clan owes a scare to him, and it is a bad debt.

After suppressing his confusion, Chu Xi paused slightly and asked, “The emperor will not dabble in death row, nor will he attach importance to a woman of the female generation. How can he be noticed with Gu Zheng’s mind?”

“This is about the second person who bullied the king, but before talking about him, let me mention another person who has something to do with this matter.” Ye Fusheng said slowly, “The last generation of Nanru, Ruan Qingxing.”

At the time Ruan Feiyu was able to dismount Qin Hebai, the biggest reliance was on him, a master of power and enthusiasm.

Ruan Qingxing started in the previous dynasty, was appreciated by the ancestors, and was reused by the emperor. His ups and downs in his life were not comparable to that of Ruan Feiyu, not to mention that he was just a young man. Ruan Feiyu was almost sixty years old, and he was a world-renowned person.

“Ruan Qingxing had a good relationship with Qin Jinghu. After Qin Jinghu died in battle, he once regarded Qin Hebai as his own. The latter was able to be a very good minister, not without him working around in the court … A Yao, you Say that the two people who were so close, why not only alienated but also committed evil? “

Chu Xiwei sneered: “Alienation is precisely because they are too close, and evil is nothing more than interest.”

Although there has been a beautiful talk of “combining peace with each other” since ancient times, for an emperor who is suspicious and lacks means, the closer the relationship between the generals and the generals, the easier it is for him to fall into power.

Qin He’s white men were okay when they spoke lightly. Once he had a high weight, Ruan Qingxing had to be estranged from him, otherwise he would be suspected of becoming a party.

Perhaps it was to avoid suspicion at the beginning, but after a long time, it is easy to produce suspicion and become true. Especially when the Qin Hebai class division became the head of the military commander, the military and military forces began to compare, and he and Ruan Qingxing also became hostile in the conflicts of large and small.

Since ancient times, the officialdom is like a battlefield, and once the two concepts stand in opposition, they must be distinguished.

“At that time, Ruan Qingxing was old and weak, and the arrogance of civil servants was getting weaker, and Qin Hebai was a strong man. He was so famous that he seemed to have the upper hand.” When he went out, Chu Xi was caught off guard slightly and looked at him with his eyebrows twisted.

He was splashed with water, and his expression was naturally stinky, and his speech was even colder: “However, in this way, the emperor Xian was afraid of from the two of them to one of him.”

Shows weakness to people, and leads to disaster. Ruan Qingxing got the emperor’s thoughts in mind, and took a step back when the undercurrent rushed, but Qin Hebai didn’t know how to hide the clumsy, so he naturally stood at the tip of the storm.

“Qin Hebai is in the palm of his hand, and he has a great reputation no matter in Jianghu and Chaotang, especially in the East China Sea and Northern Xinjiang. The people only know that Qin Gong does not know the emperor … A Yao, you should understand the meaning better than me.

Chu Xiwei slightly hooked his lips: “Gong Gao Zhen Lord, life hanging a line.”

“I always think that there is no truth that cannot be found in the world, unless it is the person who does not want to know the truth.”

Thirty years ago, the case of Qin Gong was widely involved, and no matter how much of it was really wrong, the consequences shocked the world, almost cleaned the court at that time, and the forces attached to the Qin family were uprooted, and the military commander was more powerful. It was earth-shaking. Until now, he has not recovered his vitality. Ren Wenchen pressed his head to the top.

Not to mention Ruan Feiyu, who was born in the beginning of the year, even Ruan Qingxing did not have such great skill.

Chu Xiwei frowned: “You mean the initiator of the Qin Gong case, not two generations of Southern Confucians, but …”

Ye Fusheng smiled and said nothing, but pointed to heaven with one finger, but his eyes were full of helplessness and sigh.
