That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 168 That Year I Saw Chang’an Duo Killing

Xia Guowen and martial arts are all prevalent, so it is common for Gu Qingci and others to carry weapons. Except for the ban on weapons such as bows and crossbows, there will be no restrictions on other weapons. But no one showed up.

Chang'an City, the most prosperous city in the world, is full of excitement everywhere. No matter how much noise Gu Qingci and the others make outside the city, they will be overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people when they enter the city. Moreover, it is impossible for them to make trouble inside the city. What's the matter? This is no longer just entering the city, but a provocation to a country.

Walking on the street, the endless stream of figures and things can't help but make people sigh. It seems that the wealth, elegance and grace of the whole world are concentrated in this city. The enthusiasm makes people excited and intoxicated. In this vast crowd, Gu Qingci couldn't help but raise his head like the people in this city.

  The intoxication of the Xia people is pride!

Walking on the street, many people were watching the four of them secretly. To be precise, they were looking at them. Qin Keqing has a beauty like ice and snow. As gentle as jade, it can also attract too many eyes of the opposite sex.

When the two walk together, no one will come forward to strike up a conversation. Qin Keqing has the coldness of rejecting others thousands of miles away. Anyway, there is Qin Keqing by his side.

  As for Liu Yiqing and Su Yi, they were only covered by Gu Qingci and Qin Keqing.

  Liu Yiqing came to the capital for the first time, and was a little excited for a while, his face was a little flushed, he pulled Gu Qing to resign, and asked: "Brother, are we going directly to the Yamen to file a complaint now?"

  After Liu Yiqing asked, Su Yi also looked at Gu Qingci, Qin Keqing was still calm, she didn't mean to ask any questions, she just followed Gu Qingci, even if Gu Qingci wanted to raise the sword and enter the imperial city, she would not hesitate.

   Gu Qingci shook his head and said: "Let's find an inn to stay in for the time being, take a rest, and let those people get ready."

"Okay," Liu Yiqing said cheerfully, "I just like that you are so domineering, big brother. If you want to make trouble, you will hit him head-on. They are not prepared, so boring. , This is the first time I have come to Chang'an since I grew up, hey, how about you?"

  Su Yi nodded and said, "I'll be with you!"

   "Okay, um, Qin Keqing, brother, what about you two?" Liu Yiqing asked.

Gu Qingci shook his head and said: "I came to the capital, after all, some people can't sit still, instead of letting them look for me everywhere, I just wait for them to come, you go and play, I won't go , this is not the first time I have come to Chang'an."

  Liu Yiqing looked at Qin Keqing again.

  Qin Keqing said lightly: "I will protect Gu Qingci."

   Liu Yiqing said casually: "Does my elder brother still need protection, Qin Keqing, you..."

   Before Liu Yiqing finished speaking, Su Yi grabbed him and stomped on him hard. The pain made Liu Yiqing almost cry out, and blushing, he said, "Su Yi, what are you doing?"

  Su Yi gave Liu Yiqing a white look, and said, "Shut up if you don't know, don't talk, and let Miss Qin protect Mr. Gu. The two of them also have a care, and what's the point of following you?"

"I…"

  Liu Yiqing was about to say something when his face suddenly changed and his eyes froze instantly. He saw a few people in the crowd slowly surround him.

The few people present were not ordinary people, and they all discovered something. Qin Keqing slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in the front, as if a sword was pressed against the man's chest, which made the man tremble in fright, as if the ground was covered with frost. , hastily and respectfully cupped his hands and said: "Young Master Gu, don't get me wrong, we are not here to cause trouble."

  Gu Qing resigned two steps forward, and said politely: "I don't know why you are looking for me?"

Gu Qingci stood in front of Qin Keqing, the ice-like cold dissipated immediately, the middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief, feeling relaxed after a catastrophe, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "My lady sent me here We have already prepared an inn for you to pick up a few people."

   "Who is your young lady?" Gu Qingci asked.

   "My lady's surname is Mo!" said the man.

  Liu Yiqing jumped out suddenly and said excitedly: "Hey, is your lady Miss Mo Lanying Mo? She has also come to the capital? You are still dawdling, lead the way!"

The middle-aged man smiled at Liu Yiqing, looked at Gu Qingci again, got Gu Qingci's approval, led the way in front of him, drifted away from the crowd, gradually calmed down, and soon entered a quiet street , wide and narrow, you can pass a carriage, and there are some inns on both sides, but they are relatively quiet.

The middle-aged man explained as he walked: "The whole street is basically inns, but the prices are very expensive, so few people come here on weekdays, and most of them are foreigners who rent the entire inn directly. Yes, so it's quieter."

"Well," Gu Qingci nodded, and said: "I knew this place when I was in Chang'an before. Many envoys from foreign countries came to Chang'an, and the imperial court would arrange it here. It is a rare and quiet place. Miss Mo knows how to choose a place. "

   Soon, when he walked to the middle of the street, Gu Qingci saw someone suddenly jumped down from the upstairs of the inn, walked over quickly, and shouted: "Scholar, fool, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

  Gu Qingci smiled slightly, and said politely: "Miss Mo, it's been a long time."

   "Miss Mo, are you waiting for me too?" Liu Yiqing stroked the back of his head with an extremely unnatural expression, as if shy and smiled and said: "I was thinking about it, but I didn't expect you to really come."

Mo Lanying slapped Liu Yiqing on the shoulder fiercely, and said: "Fool, why are you still so stupid? You are a drunkard, what people in the world say, and Liu Yiqing is right, you have to be smarter. You have a very good image. The important thing is not to."

  Liu Yiqing smiled, nodded and said, "I know."

  Su Yi stood beside Liu Yiqing, looked at Mo Lanying, suddenly stepped on Liu Yiqing's foot again, and then walked to Qin Keqing's side under Liu Yiqing's blank eyes.

  Gu Qingci smiled helplessly, and said: "Miss Mo, let me introduce you." As he spoke, Gu Qingci pointed to Qin Keqing and said, "This is my good friend, Qin Keqing, who is known as a sword riddle in the world..."

  Mo Lanying's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "I have heard of you for a long time, I have heard of you many years ago."

  Qin Keqing looked at Gu Qingci, then nodded in response.

Afraid of Mo Lanying's embarrassment, Gu Qingci explained: "Miss Qin has always been like this, and she treats everyone like this," pointing to Su Yi, and said: "This is also my friend, Qin Chi Su Yi, you should have heard of it Bar!"

   "Oh, of course I know." Mo Lanying said, "The one who has a child relationship with Liu Yiqing..."

  ...

As night falls, the lights in Chang'an City are brightly lit. When it is dark, however, Chang'an City is completely silent, and even feels a little quiet. Occasionally, someone passes by and looks up. The towering city wall slowly enters the city, and an old man slowly enters the city , hunched over, eyes drooping, walking slowly on the bluestone road.

Suddenly, he heard someone talking about it, some said the seven mysteries of the world, and some said that Moshang is like a jade, his body stiffened slightly, and he sighed softly: "Are you here? Finally here, before you die, you should Let's go see you!"

After a while, the old man walked slowly into a quiet alley. He really looked no different from an ordinary person, with his hands behind his back, like an old man with a little slow reaction, he walked into the street and raised his head. Looking into the inn.

Just at this time, by the window of the inn, there seemed to be a young man dressed in white who felt something in his heart. He turned his head and looked down, but saw nothing. After the young man turned his head, an old man walked out slowly. In the streets and alleys, the last moment was fixed on his satisfied smile: "In the end, it is a thousand times, and it is only by not forgetting the original intention that we will always be there. Master Gu, I am old... I admire it!"

So, that night, an old man voluntarily walked into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and surrendered himself. The magistrate of Jingzhao Mansion got up from his bed in the middle of the night and dared to go to the yamen. He has an unusual identity, he is Qin Tianjian Ning Qing, who has been an official in the court for decades!

  That night, the Criminal Department was restless, and there was an extra old man in the prison.

  ...

  In the same night, the person who couldn’t sleep peacefully, and a person from the Six Departments, Ma Dongyang, Minister of Rites who had been lying on the hospital bed for many days, sat up startled in a dying illness, and lit a candle until dawn!

  In that simple study room, Ma Dongyang's hair was already gray, but in this warm spring season, he was wearing a thick layer of cotton-padded jacket, coughing non-stop, and an old man in front of him was adding charcoal to the brazier.

  Yi Bo had kindness in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it even more, he sighed and said: "My lord, it's not that things didn't turn around."

   Ma Dongyang was very weak, his face was pale, his hands were close to the charcoal fire, and he asked, "Yi Bo, Ning Qing, have you really surrendered yourself?"

Yi Bo nodded and said: "Just now, I received the news that Ning Qing turned himself in, claiming that because of some conflicts, he killed Zhang Zhihuan and Yue Yan, and was willing to be punished. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs temporarily put Ning Qing in prison. The specific matters are still under investigation. middle."

   Ma Dongyang's face flushed suddenly, and it took him a while to recover, and he said, "Well, what's going on at Shiwan Dashan?"

"According to the princess, His Majesty has sent someone to bring Wu Kui back," Yibo said up to this point, and then said, "However, my lord. There is one more thing, Wu Kui's son, that is, you arranged to go to Jingzhao Mansion as an arrest." The kid at the head, for some reason, disappeared out of nowhere today, and we couldn’t find it no matter how hard we searched.”

  Ma Dongyang raised his brows, a bad premonition welled up in his heart, he squeezed his fist, and said: "It seems that we are all down and this Gu Qing resigned, um, by the way, how is that matter going?"

  Yi Bo nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, it's already done. I'll go see Gu Qingci tomorrow and ask him to let go!"

   Ma Dongyang frowned, relaxed a little, and said, "Why don't you go now?"

   "The young master has gone!"

I know that many, many book friends are supporting me. I see monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, subscriptions, and rewards every day. I have very, very high motivation. When I think of so many book friends supporting me, I feel very strong. creative drive!

   I read everyone's comments carefully, and I keep everyone's rewards in mind, because the data is not easy to count, so when the time comes, I will thank you all!
