Chapter 30 – There’s an opening in the south wall.

That night, Jinglong Emperor in order to accommodate the inappropriate movement of Wei Guifei, stationed in the East Court, the most west of Longde Hall, the Prince resides in the West Road Ningfu Palace Royal Forestry Army and the Brocade Guards will be half of this garden surrounded by a tight iron bucket.

Zhonglu Chonghua Hall as the Prince’s temporary residence, the guards are also extremely strict.

The east road of the Hongqing Hall and the south road of the Chongqi Hall will not be able to transfer so much manpower guards, but also only and ordinary official residence is almost the same.

Chongqi Hall, also known as the small south courtyard, once house arrest in the previous generation of an unlucky emperor. This emperor unlucky to what extent it, the northern hunt was captured by the Tartars, hard to trample for a year, want to use him in exchange for heavy gold and territory. As a result, the courtiers thought, it is not cost-effective, it would be better to set up a new king, so his brother was put on the throne. The Tartars saw that the hostage was useless, and thought of another trick to release him back as a shit-stirrer. The new king could not help but honor his brother as the supreme emperor and put him under house arrest in the small south courtyard like a cold palace.

The courtyard was deep and the walls were high, and there were many cold locks. Originally, the emperor was going to live out his life in the miserable wind and rain, but in the end, eight years later, the new king was seriously ill, and the old ministers who supported him climbed over the wall, and ordered the soldiers to carry a huge log and hit the door, and robbed him out of the small south courtyard, and restored him to the throne.

The withered wood of the emperor sighed can come out is really God’s will ah, the small south courtyard wall removed a section, but also ordered from now on shall not be repaired. So this and the imperial city south wall connected to the opening has been left until today.

Marquis Feng An said on his lips that he did not dare to live in the emperor’s former residence, in fact, the heart is too bad luck, then alone occupied the Hongqing Hall, the rest of the people are driven to the small south courtyard.

In this way, six dignified officials, plus attendants, plus a small boy, but also to add an order to join in the fun of Su Yan, in the Palace of ChongQi inevitably live in a short.

Not to mention the fact that you can’t guarantee a single stove, you have to eat the cafeteria pot meal together for the evening meal, and even the hot water for bathing has to be lined up and burned, one by one, taking turns washing.

With the evening meal, the first prize winner Cui Jinping with a bowl of rice, to Su Yan side of a seat, lamented: “I originally thought that the gold list will be able to go up in the clouds, I did not expect to be buried in ink and writing all day long not to mention that, and now have to suffer from this kind of unintended consequences.”

Su Yan swallowed the slipped meat segment in his mouth and was unimpressed, “What is this called a disaster. You see this has meat, veggies, soup, and hot water big bed room, just short of cell phone and wifi, little brother is already very contented.”

Cui Jinping did not understand what chicken is hand chicken, crooked method and what kind of method, guess it is Minzhong vernacular, similar to the mouth full of “hungry hungry” Mr. Lianzhou, so do not dwell on this, then said: “Qinghe brother has suffered a great injustice in the day, but now can be so calm and calm, not to be shocked by insults and humiliation, really teach my brother to admire. I just don’t know, why did His Majesty order you to stay? Could it be that he still has doubts about your innocence?”

Su Yan glanced at him and scanned the lobby quickly to see that there were two familiar faces – Yun Wash, the scout of the same subject, and Liu Weiyi, the Junior Zhanzui.

There is also a name, do not see its people of the Metropolitan Police Office of the Right Commander of the Imperial House of Justice Jia Gongji. Su Yan in the Imperial Study Room when serving the driver, have seen the Jia Royal Secretary scolding power, that is called a knife and tongue sword also kills people, impeachment of the East Palace to hide obscenity is a loss of the national body of the folding is that he took the lead on the.

The other two faces, not wearing official clothes, Su Yan can not name, but can see that they are familiar with each other, to do a place to talk, gibberish whining.

Liu Weiyi and Jia Gongji should be an old gap, rank and rank is equivalent, is an even match of the fourth grade, they do not give each other under the table, you a word I say a word of war.

Only cloud wash one person, sitting alone in the corner, body posture craggy, like a strain of cold alone open white plum. Su Yan smiled at him, he only slightly nodded his head, his face was cold, like a lake covered in snow.

Seeing this, Cui Jinping whispered to Su Yan: “The flower scout is very noble, no one can see it, now he is willing to nod a little, but it is also considered to give you face. I’ve had a nose dive and don’t want to bother with him again.”

Su Yan said, “Nature is different, cold-faced people may not be unkind, brother Ping Shan just take it easy.”

Cui Jinping was a bit unhappy: “What kind of friendship do we have, you haven’t said a word to him, but you are even favoring him.”

Su Yan smiled and pacified him, “It was my fault, I should have favored you and said he was a big ice cube with no human feelings.”

Only then did Cui Jinping turn his anger into joy.

On that wall, the Jia imperial historian scolded and scolded, the spearhead gradually turned to the crown prince, said Zhanzhengfu specializing in the training of the crown prince, but it is like a sham, and you Liu Weiyi as a ministerial lecturer bachelor, weekdays to assist the crown prince’s studies, do not do their duties, the crown prince taught into an anorexic urchin, lack of the virtues of the Crown Prince should have.

Su Yan put down his chopsticks, walked to Jia Gongji and smiled and said, “The two adults calm down. Outside can be all the brocade guards, be heard you discuss the Crown Prince, the secret report to His Majesty’s desk a pass, no one can be good.”

Liu Wei Yi is a little bit afraid to look at Su Yan nowadays.

Because of the tribute test that day, he listened to Eunuch Cheng Sheng’s hints, thinking that the Prince evil Su Yan, then favoritism, wanting to Su Yan’s name directly from the admissions roster crossed out, if not for the sudden arrival of the Holy Spirit, this thing would have been.

Who expected the Prince’s mind is a June day doll face, said change, now the Su Yan look like a bead on the eye. Liu Wei Yi at a loss, can only sigh the sky Wei unpredictable, hoping that this thing do not give shake out, otherwise Su Yan to borrow the Prince’s hand to cure him, I’m afraid that by then Cheng Sheng also bite back.

He was weak and apprehensive, and when Su Yan said so, he immediately kissed his ass and said, “Still, Servant Su is far-sighted and far-sighted, thank you for mentioning it.”

Jia imperial historian as a magistrate, is the mouth cannon in the fighter, to him this goat is very despised, mocked: “A fox fake tiger, a colorful, but very right, you can set the stage to sing a new ‘kill the dog’.”

Liu Weiyi knew that he couldn’t scold him, and with a flash of light, he found another way: ”Don’t be clever! I see that you are on the Su readers of the heart resentment ah. When he received fifty canes all thanks to you, could it be that the case on the auxiliary building is also done by you, so as to use it to frame him?”

Jia Gongji said angrily, “How dare you frame me with a case of human life? I thought you did it! Ye Donglou words! Brother Qinghe, you really see light on all eight sides.”

Su Yan lost a smile: “Where are the words, I also unexpected. Wine another day to drink, first go back to the room to bathe, today is really ups and downs, tired out my sweat.”

–

Wu Ming had ambushed Marquis Wei Joon for a whole day on the road he must take to return to his residence.

During the period, regardless of the scorching sun, or mosquito bites, have not moved the slightest, even if the marquis housekeeper from the road back and forth several times, have not found, a stone’s throw away there is a hidden assassin ready to go.

Ready to kill, he is more hardy and patient than a camel in the desert, more cunning and cautious than a jackal in the hunt, like a scorpion hook and snake teeth, harboring the poison of hatred, just waiting for the fatal blow.

However, the target was delayed.

Wei Jun was grounded for two months, fearing that another assassination, almost did not repair their own residence into a barracks, easy to approach not. Wu Ming since leaving Su Yan’s home, began to look for the opportunity to start, until today’s Dragon Boat Festival, only to wait until he left the house to the East Garden.

Wu Ming inquired, East Garden shooting willow is the practice of the year, the service of the driving officials at dusk, about Shen time back, but now has reached the eleventh hour, but still no official sedan chair and honor guards.

He sneaked into the Wei Mansion and heard his attendant report to the steward, “The Marquis has been left by His Majesty to stay in the East Garden, and has sent a small one back to report his safety.”

Followed to a remote corner, Wu Ming took hold of the attendant, forced to ask Wei Joon live in Hongqing Hall, then intended to sneak into the East Garden at night, blood collage.

The high walls of the Imperial City can not block his flying claws Hundred Training rope, not to mention that the south wall of the East Garden is also open a mouth.

At midnight, Wu Ming, dressed in night clothes and masked by a black scarf, quietly sneaked into the East Garden without alerting a single guard.

He searched the Hongqing Hall for Wei Joon’s bedchamber, and outside a fan window lit with a candle flame, he heard a familiar voice inside the room.

It’s the old thief Wei Joon! Wu Ming carefully poked through the windowpaper and peered in.

He saw that Wei Joon was having a close conversation with a middle-aged man with a slightly sallow complexion and a gloomy face at the table.

The man was wearing a flying fish suit with an embroidered spring sword at his waist, and should be the head of the Brocade Guards.

I do not know what plotting and scheming the dog thief is planning with the court eagle claws, Wu Ming stared and listened carefully.

Wei Jun frowned and chided, ”Lord Feng has not acted too rashly. Killing and framing was a good move, but why did it involve the Empress, nearly harming the dragon’s fetus! Luckily, the Wei family’s ancestors blessed the birth of a son, or else you would not be able to atone for your death!”

Feng De Evil sneered: ”This is really coincidental. My humble servant was about to say ‘admiration’ to Marquis, the so-called very man doing very thing, in order to kill a mere Crown Prince’s attendant, he even managed to put the safety of Wei Guifei and the Dragon Heir at risk.”

“What do you mean? You didn’t do this?”

“So it doesn’t seem to be the Marquis’ doing either. That’s really strange.”

Wei Jun urgently said: ”Of course it’s not this marquis! When a woman gives birth to a child, it’s like stepping into a ghost’s doorway, and if it’s premature and difficult, it’s even more dangerous. The family members of the house burn incense and worship Buddha all day long, just praying for my niece to have a smooth labor, how could they possibly get a corpse to scare her!”

Feng de-wickedly said nonchalantly, “Your Highness is gracious to me, and naturally my humble servant would not do such a thing.”

“And who could that be? What is the purpose?”

“Since Your Highness has given birth safely, no matter who the murderer behind this case is and for what purpose, it will be beneficial to us. Even, we can take advantage of his east wind.”

“You mean …….”

Feng went evil smile grim, “My humble servant thought that the murderer would strike again at night and assassinate the Crown Prince’s attendant, Su Yan Su Qinghe, in the middle of his bedchamber, what does the Marquis think?”

Wei Joon rejoiced, “Right! Right! Let’s see who dares to humiliate this Marquis in the future! I heard that the East Palace favors him, I originally didn’t believe it, but today I saw the Prince’s look that he couldn’t wait to replace him with his own body, tsk tsk, if he dies, I still don’t know how the Prince will be pained to the core! Hahahahaha ……”

Feng went evil and said, “On the side of the small southern courtyard, my humble servant has long since made arrangements.”

Wu Ming was shocked to hear this.

These two were going to kill Su Yan, and I’m afraid that the teenage official was in critical condition!

He had wanted to wait until the leader of the Brocade Guards left, then break in to assassinate Wei Joon, which was a sure thing.

But in that case, it would be too late to save Lord Su.

On the one hand, there’s the prospect of revenge, on the other hand, there’s the urgency of repaying the favor, which one to choose?

Wu Ming hesitated for a short breath before making the decision to save Su Yan first.

After all, people can’t come back from the dead, and the opportunity to avenge a grudge is still there, but the left can only wait for some more days, and then spend some more effort.

He immediately got up and retreated, and under the cover of the dark night, he swept over the layers of roofs, and like a dexterous bat, flew into the towering fence of the small southern courtyard.
