"Young master! These imperial guards must have gone to Gu's mansion. Sister Pan'er received a spinal rod two days ago, and her injury has not healed. It will be dangerous if they take it away!" Song Yinzhang looked anxious and pulled Holding Zhou Ji's cuff, he said in a panic.
"Regardless of Qian Fan's murder in the palace, since Miss Pan'er is married to him, she will definitely be implicated. Looking at the whole of Bianjing, only by placing her in Shenxiao Guanlin Lingsu's place can she escape the search of the forbidden army."
Zhou Ji groaned for a while, pulled Song Yinzhang and jumped up to the roof, leaping tens of feet, and rushed to Gu's mansion in a short while, ordered Song Yinzhang to send Sun Sanniang back to the Liyuan, and he himself stunned Zhao Pan'er, and took her away. Went to Shenxiao Temple on the side of the palace to recuperate.
Regardless of whether Lin Lingsu has a selfish desire for power or not, everything he has done for the Taoist sect is no less than the fanatic followers of the Taoist sect in Journey to the West—the three demons of Che Chiguo, deer, sheep and tiger.
Even though Zhou Ji has repeatedly stated that he will not participate, nor does he want to participate in the world-shattering feat of "prospering the Tao and destroying the Buddha", it has not weakened the respect and awe of "Immortal Master Lin" towards him.
Hearing that last night Gu Qianfan entered the queen's bedroom secretly with a murderous blade and kidnapped the queen, but was shot dead by the palace guards on the spot, even Lin Lingsu couldn't help being a little surprised.
Turning his head to look at Zhao Pan'er lying unconscious on the bed in the quiet room, Lin Lingsu respectfully said: "Since the head of the fairy sent Mrs. Zhao to Xiaodao, I don't know what to order?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's ghost stories or astrology or divination, no matter what, find an excuse to save her life from the officials."
Zhou Ji stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of the imperial palace in the distance, with a gloomy expression.
On the other side, the news of Gu Qianfan's death has not yet spread, and it is time for the Drum Court to start the trial. The news that Ouyang Xu sent people to the palace from last night until dawn was like a muddy cow, without any response.
Seeing that the sky was bright, even the **** who had been sent by the queen to contact him was nowhere to be found. Ouyang Xu, who had nowhere to go, panicked completely.
From his point of view, Zhao Pan'er knocked on the drum to sue him, just wanting to take the opportunity to make things big, as long as he wins the lawsuit, his reputation will be completely ruined. The testimony will be void.
The Queen's line suddenly lost contact. Someone in the palace must have found out that Zhao Pan'er had evidence that he didn't know, and decided that he had no chance of winning, so they rushed to cut him off and regarded him as an abandoned son.
The more Ouyang Xu thought about it, the more frightened he became. In the end, the murderous intent arose in his heart, and the evil came out of his guts. He first went to Gu's mansion, and found that the gate of Gu's mansion was guarded by the imperial guards, and there was no way for him to come and go.
Then I went to Yong'an Building and found that Yong'an Building was also sealed up by the Imperial Army. Ge Zhaodi, who was 'Rong Deng' as the shopkeeper, struggled to fasten the shackles and chains, and was escorted into the prison car by two armored guards of the Imperial Army.
Ouyang Xu was dumbfounded. The passers-by who were watching had different opinions, and no one knew what happened.
After asking around, Ouyang Xu found that not only Yong'an Building, Chen Lian's private residence in Osmanthus Lane, Half-Zhimian, and Gu's Mansion were sealed off, but even Xiao Qinyan's Mr. Xiao's mansion was guarded by the imperial army, and entry and exit were prohibited.
Obviously, Ouyang Xu also has the identity of the deputy envoy of the Ziji Palace, the official of the palace, so he found a familiar Taoist priest of Shenxiao Temple and heard some rumors from him.
Gu Qianfan broke into the palace last night to assassinate the queen and was shot dead on the spot. Such a serious crime should be punished by the nine clans.
The ordinary people in the market may not know the blood relationship between him and the traitor Xiao Qinyan, so how could the officials not know?
Not only did he know that the two of them were father and son, but he also knew that Mr. Xiao, the head of all officials, doted on his precious son the most, and had been working hard to restore the relationship between father and son, taking care of him both openly and secretly.
Now that Gu Qianfan is dead, who knows if Xiao Qinyan will hold a grudge?
Although it is said that "the punishment cannot be punished by a doctor", it also depends on what crime it committed.
For a woman, broke into the harem privately, with a knife on the queen's neck.
Sima Zhao ordered Cheng Ji to kill Cao Mao in the street, Liu Yu forced Sima Dewen to drown his son as soon as he had a son, Xiao Daocheng killed Liu Zhun, Xiao Yan slaughtered Xiao Daocheng's descendants, all the reasons were: the imperial power was shaken and the order collapsed.
Even if the officials see that Xiao Qinyan has been exempted from killing the nine clans because of his hard work these years, but in order to maintain the dignity and inviolability of the feudal imperial power, Xiao Qinyan can't keep his life.
In this way, Zhao Pan'er will also be implicated, and Deng Wengu's imperial lawsuit should not be filed.
Ouyang Xu's face was cloudy and cloudy after listening to the Taoist priest's words, the expression on his face was sad and happy, and there was an inexplicable pity and pain in his relaxed mood.
"It's time for Taoist priest." Ouyang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve and handed it over. The Taoist priest glanced left and right, put the bank notes into his sleeve calmly, and flicked the whisk, Close your eyes and see off the guests.
After Ouyang Xu left at ease, the Taoist priest got up and went to the Temple of God, and put all the bank notes that Ouyang Xu had just given him in front of Lin Lingsu.
"Master, according to Master's instructions, I concealed the official's request to allow Mrs. Zhao to continue to appeal, and sent Ouyang Xu away."
"Well, back off."
Time passed day by day, Song Yinzhang borrowed Zhou Ji from Si Teng, and searched everywhere for evidence of Ouyang Xu's crime.
In a blink of an eye, the day of Zhao Paner's appeal came.
In the past two days, the situation in the court has changed suddenly. Xiao Xiang stumbled and fell into the well and died. His son Xiao Wei took Xiao Qinyan's coffin back to his hometown to observe his filial piety, and he has been away from the court since then.
Zhao Pan'er seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Ouyang Xu tried to find out her whereabouts, but found nothing.
It wasn't until the Drum Court sent a team of yamen servants to summon him to attend the court trial that Ouyang Xu realized something was wrong. When he arrived at the Drum Court, the outside was already surrounded by common people, and there were also a few unfamiliar women in the lobby.
Ouyang Xu vaguely guessed the identities of Si Teng Hongkui, Chi Yanei Zhang Haohao and others, but he didn't expect Du Changfeng to mix with them.
Looking across the lobby, Ouyang Xu's face changed drastically. He saw Sun Sanniang supporting Zhao Pan'er, who was haggard and dressed in plain clothes, standing in the hall. Ouyang Xu couldn't help but stare blankly: "You, how can you appeal?"
"Silence!"
In the Drum Courtyard Hall, the officials who presided over the trial last time had been replaced by judges sent by the officials themselves. They glanced coldly at Ouyang Xu, looked at Sun Sanniang, who was supporting Zhao Pan'er, who was pale and almost unsteady, and said in a deep voice : "Zhao Shi, Ouyang Xu has been brought here, do you still want to file a complaint?"
"This is the last wish of my deceased husband, a sinful woman has no regrets!"
Zhao Pan'er pushed aside Sun Sanniang's support, and knelt in the hall.
The court judged the government's will, and exempted Zhao Pan'er from the fourteen sticks owed by the thirty ransom, and the trial officially began.
A mere six pennies, although not enough to kill him, is enough to ruin his reputation and disgust him.
"Song Law" stipulates that fraud is the same as theft, and those with more than five punctures should be executed. Ouyang Xu immediately explained that he forgot about it, and that it was Zhao Paner who set up many traps to take revenge on himself.
Zhao Paner saw that Ouyang Xu's mentality was out of balance, so she was going to use the death of Uncle De and the crew to defraud Ouyang Xu.
"Who said there is no evidence?"
Just then, a clear voice came from outside the courtyard.
Everyone turned their heads to look, Song Yinzhang came from outside holding a folded "Bu Xu Yun", Zhao Pan'er saw Zhou Ji next to him, and a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.
Recovering from injuries in Shenxiao Temple these days, she already knew that today she was able to sue Ouyang Xu as a sinner because of the favor Mr. Zhou begged from Taoist Shenxiao.
"Master Yuan, I heard that two of Ouyang Xu's servants died at the hands of thieves, and no one restrained me, so I went to Yizhuang. Then, I found this "Bu Xu Yun" on the body of his book boy. "!"
Go to Yizhuang? Searching for things from the corpse of the book boy?
Zhou Ji noticed the sight of Hongkui, Si Teng, Sun Sanniang and others looking at him, helplessly supported his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "I took her to Yizhuang, and she found the evidence by herself. I really don't know, this little girl Why is the girl so courageous?"
After listening to Zhou Ji's explanation, Sun Sanniang's expression was the most surprised.
Among the people present, she was the first person to know Song Yinzhang besides Zhao Pan'er. Thinking back to Song Yinzhang in the Qiantang period, and looking at Song Yinzhang today, without knowing it, the little tender seedling that still needs to be taken care of has grown into a towering tree. Come and protect them.
"Bu Xu Yun" is the music played during Taoist rituals.
Although Ouyang Xu is familiar with poems and books, he doesn't know the rhythm, and he can't see the wrong music score left by Daotong using the Buxu words and the annotated Gongchi notation. Xu kill me', and then found Ziyang Temple from the notes, and found the suicide note from under Daotong's futon.
In the suicide note, it described in detail how Ouyang Xu beat Uncle De to death and bought the murderer to kill him. Now that the physical evidence is in hand, it only needs to re-examine the wounds on the body according to the suicide note to confirm Daotong's suicide note.
Ouyang Xu broke down emotionally. While shouting 'no investigation', he rushed to the stage to **** the evidence from the court judge, but was held down by the yamen guard on the spot.
At this point, the truth came to light, the court judged the facts of the case as stated above, and also told the officials about Ouyang Xu's attempt to destroy the evidence in the courtroom. trial.
On the other side, Zhao Paner and Song Yinzhang worked together to solve the case and preserved the queen's reputation. Under the suggestion of the national teacher Lin Lingsu, the officials exempted Zhao Paner from the crime of sitting together and gave her two choices.
First, he was demoted to a lowly nationality, and he was the Secretary of the Islamic Square.
Second, allow her to become a nun.
Going round and round, in the end, I still have to go back to the teaching workshop. Zhao Paner's heart is higher than the sky, so how can she be reconciled?
Immediately bowed to Shenxiaoguan and chose the second option.
Song Yinzhang has experienced so many things, and his mind has become much calmer. It is not possible to stop here at this time to "talk about ideals" and ask the officials to abolish the humble status from now on.
Because she knows that it is absolutely impossible for the government to completely abolish the lowly status, but as long as the official says that the best of the Jiaofang Division will be admitted to the Imperial Academy as female officials, it will attract intrigue among the lowly. Malicious intrigue and competition will make the life of ordinary lowly people even more difficult.
However, although she can't save all the lowly people in the world, at least the people close to her, she still wants to try.
So Song Yinzhang begged the officials to pardon her and Zhang Haohao for leaving their citizenship. The officials did not hesitate for such a trivial matter, and agreed to her with a wave of hands.
Ge Zhaodi, who was implicated in Gu Qianfan's treason case, imitated Zhao Paner's clumsiness a few days after he was demoted to the teaching workshop, and didn't study well in singing and dancing.
Unexpectedly, according to what Zhao Paner said, not only was Ge Zhaodi not invited by the bustard to be the accountant, but she was dragged down and beaten with thirty whips, and sent directly to the outer kiln to pick up customers.
Not long after being in the outer kiln, he died of depression.
Maybe until the moment of her death, she didn’t have any communication, why others can avoid picking up customers by being clumsy, but she was sent directly to pick up customers by being clumsy
On the other hand, Chen Lian, as Gu Qianfan's subordinate, was also implicated. Fortunately, he did not participate in Gu Qianfan's sneaking into the harem. After suffering in prison for several months, it was his sister who sold several houses in Bianjing City to open up relationships. Get him out of jail.
As soon as he was released from prison, Chen Lian went to Jiaofang to look for Ge Zhaodi, but what he saw was a tomb buried outside the city.
After this incident, Chen Lian no longer wanted to be an official, and sadly returned to the Chen family to inherit the remaining dozens of properties.
The world never stands still because someone dies.
Time flies, twenty years in a blink of an eye.
The new generation of Jiaofang replaces the old ones, and people who are keen to pursue new oirans gradually forget the legends of Zhang Haohao and Song Yinzhang.
Tongfu Teahouse is still full of people, and the tea customers have changed from batch to batch, and the opera has been passed down for a long time.
Zhou Ji gave the teahouse to Song Yinzhang, and traveled around the world with Si Teng Hongkui. The Yong'an Building opposite the teahouse, decayed and decayed because of no one for a long time, completely collapsed with an all-night storm.
Although Du Changfeng and Sun Sanniang had a new child after they got married, they still treated Fu Zifang as their own. Thirty-four-year-old Fu Zifang spent half his life and finally failed to be admitted to Jinshi, so he had to rely on Du Changfeng's relationship to study in a private school. Be a teacher and barely make ends meet.
Zhao Pan'er became a monk in Shenxiao Dao and became a female crown. Over the years, she assisted the Taoist priests in "destroying Buddha with Taoism" and publicized "Women kneel and stand on their own feet" everywhere, attracting a large number of female pilgrims and becoming famous in Taoism.
Chi Yanei and Zhang Haohao, the pair of happy friends, also got married and had children a long time ago.
A few years ago, the official passed away, and the new emperor Zhao Ji ascended the throne. Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, he promoted Chi Yanei to Taiwei, in charge of the affairs of the Imperial City Department.
However, with the sudden death of Shen Xiao, the Buddhist counterattack officially started.
The dispute between sects and sects is so fierce. The publicity of the Shenxiao Sect has long caused dissatisfaction in the court. When Zhou Ji and Si Teng returned from their wanderings in the northern grasslands and northeast mountains, the situation of Buddhism and Taoism had already reversed. There was a dilapidated thatched hut left, a blue lamp, and a futon, and on the futon was a red coral hairpin with peeling gold paint and dull luster.
