Chapter 23

A month and a half later.

Beijing ushered in the first snow of winter.

It also ushered in the first year of Longxuan.

While the Huidang uprising continued to spread in the south, the power struggle between King Gong and Weiting in the capital also became fierce.

In the early morning, little Aqiao's shop was filled with people coming and going.

Qin Yuan sat behind a table, in front of him were two steaming steamed steamed buns, a bowl of camellia oleifera, and a bowl of hot pepper soup.

I ate too much tofu nao, so I changed the taste today.

Pick up the Hu spicy soup and take a sip, it's really strong.

Suddenly there was a dialogue from the diners:

"It's been a month and a half, and I haven't found Wang Wu, so I guess I can't find him."

"Wang was a ninth-rank swordsman 50 years ago, and now he is not much different even if he is not a great master. It is impossible for someone to find him if he wants to run away."

"The same is true for Wang Wu. If you run away, you will run away. What are you doing to kill Wang Jixin, whom King Gong valued? This is all right, and you will offend King Gong too."

"Wang Wu's sworn elder brother Huo Zongshi is back, do you think he will settle accounts with Governor Wei?"

"Grandmaster Huo is dead"

Qin Yuan stopped eating.

"What? How did you die?"

"Yesterday, I competed with the Grandmaster of Haidong Kingdom who came to challenge me, and I was beaten to death after being poisoned."

"The people of Haidong Country are really despicable"

"Stop talking about this, talk about something else"

"What are you talking about?"

"The new king ascends the throne, amnesty the world"

Qin Yuan's heart moved when he heard the words "amnesty to the world".

Will Shao Guilin, who was exiled for a thousand miles, come back?

"Ouch"

Someone got knocked over.

Then, Lu Yunfei, who was sweating profusely, hurried in, pulled Qin Yuan and walked out.

"Hey, I haven't eaten yet"

"Old Shao is dead"

Shao Guilin died.

Qin Yuan suddenly lost the desire to eat.

When they arrived at Shao Guilin's home in Shijia Hutong, the mourning hall had already been set up.

The Shao family, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, are burning paper money in a brazier.

Sending away another acquaintance.

It may be that Qin Yuan didn't have any uncomfortable emotions because he had experienced a lot.

"I am sorry for your loss"

Qin Yuan cupped his fists towards the coffin and saluted.

The Shao family returned a gift.

Qin Yuan saw that the Shao family was a bit shabby, so he presented him with a bank note with a denomination of 200 taels.

"Uncle Qin, Dian Yi won't take so much"

Shao Guilin's son Shao Pingping refused.

"This is not a memorial ceremony, this is money I borrowed from your father"

Anyway, Shao Guilin is dead, Qin Yuan can say whatever he wants.

"Borrowed...borrowed?"

Shao Pingping had an unbelievable expression.

He knew too well who his father was.

One iron rooster.

Let alone 200 taels of silver, even two taels of silver are impossible.

Qin Yuan changed to Transsion: "This is my partnership with Lao Shao, don't tell anyone."

Shao Pingping suddenly realized, and then said angrily: "I can't even take dirty money."

Qin Yuan was dumbfounded.

Shao Guilin, an old bastard, actually has such an upright son.

Lu Yunfei persuaded: "Pingping listen to Uncle Lu, take it."

"Stop talking"

Shao Pingping turned around.

Don't pull down.

Qin Yuan took back the bank note.

Walking to the uncovered coffin, Shao Guilin lay quietly inside without any blood on his face.

Lu Yunfei who came over said in a low voice, "I heard that Lao Shao died of a stroke."

Stroke is cerebral infarction.

The most common disease among people with three highs.

Qin Yuan is not surprised that Shao Guilin, who is as fat as a pig, has this disease.

"Go outside and talk"

Lu Yunfei suddenly approached with a look of concern.

You don't want to borrow money from me, do you?

Qin Yuan subconsciously had the idea of ​​breaking up with him.

When he came to the wall, Lu Yunfei lowered his voice and asked, "Who do you think will win, King Gong or Governor Wei?"

This official fan has started again.

Qin Yuan had no intention of persuading him.

Lu Yunfei is not a person who listens to advice.

"King Gong has a better chance of winning"

Qin Yuan remembered that Wang Wu said that the Empress Dowager is in the realm of mountains and seas.

No matter how many soldiers and horses there are in Weiting, they can't stop the assassination in the mountains and seas.

"I also think so"

Lu Yunfei nodded and said in agreement.

Qin Yuan suddenly thought of something, and looked at Lu Yunfei with the eyes of a fool: "You don't want to replace the Wei Zhangyuan, do you?"

"I just became the editor-in-chief. Unless I have a great background, it is impossible to get my turn if I don't spend ten or eight years."

Lu Yunfei turned his head and glanced at the mourners, his voice was very low: "When I was drinking flower wine yesterday, I met the nephew of the cousin of the brother-in-law who is the housekeeper of Prince Gong's residence."

This is too far away.

Qin Yuan's mouth twitched.

"Don't look at the distance, it's not a problem to catch up with Prince Gong's son"

Lu Yunfei said firmly.

The next day, Grandmaster Haidongguo, who poisoned Grandmaster Huo to death, disappeared mysteriously.

There are many speculations in the capital, some say that he fled back to Haidong Kingdom because he was afraid of being blamed by the court, and some say that he was beaten to death by Master Huo's disciples...

Only Qin Yuan knew that the master of Haidong Kingdom was buried alive under his own peach tree.

the next few days.

The atmosphere in the capital is becoming more and more tense, and there are rumors that King Gong and Wei Ting may start a fight in the capital.

Some said that they saw Weiting leading troops to force the palace;

Many dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen were frightened and fled the capital with their family members.

Qin Yuan, who always put safety first, bought three more fast horses, ready to run away at any time.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, at night, the black is as thick as ink.

Meishan, a hill with a lot of stories.

Shouhuang Palace.

The priceless golden nanmu coffin containing the empress dowager is placed.

Because of the wind blowing, there are many shadows inside.

It gives people a feeling of intimacy and horror.

Those who are a little less courageous will have trembling legs even if they are not scared to pee when they see this scene.

According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the coffin of the empress dowager can be buried in the empress mausoleum built long ago after staying in the palace for 27 days.

When the Queen Mother was still 'alive', she felt that the specifications were not high enough, so she demolished it and rebuilt it. Now it has not been completed, so the coffin can only be parked here.

Eunuch Li, who had served the Queen Mother for decades and his hair was all white, escorted a man in from the outside.

With a pat on the ground, he hurriedly backed out.

It seems that some demon is about to come out.

Immediately afterwards, a gap was opened in the coffin, emitting a terrifying suction force, sucking the person in.

"what"

There was a miserable cry from inside.

Eunuch Li couldn't help but shiver outside the hall.

What is the difference between the queen mother's martial arts and cannibalism.

"Little Plum"

An old, thin voice came from the coffin.

Eunuch Li hurried in, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

"What happened to Wei Ting?"

“Weiting as usual”

Eunuch Li replied.

"Has anyone broken into the palace?"

"not found"

"It seems that besides Weiting, there are no peak masters in the capital. Unless it is the reincarnation of the tortoise spirit, it is impossible to miss this good opportunity."

The queen mother sighed: "Go down."

"Yes"

Eunuch Li withdrew as if he had received an amnesty.

He didn't want to stay here for a moment.

The next moment, a figure who was neither tall nor short appeared in the hall.

"Weiting"

"Your Majesty is still alive"

"After resting for a while, I feel that I am doing well again."

Terrifying suction emanated from the coffin.

"Since the Empress Dowager is still here, the minister admits defeat and will submit his resignation tomorrow."

Wei Ting stepped back quickly and said.

The suction suddenly disappeared.

The queen mother was silent for a while, and said with a sneer, "You want to wait until I die before rebelling"

"exactly"

Wei Ting admitted generously.

"It's not sure who will die first"

The queen mother said with a sneer.

She is currently in a transformation period. Once the transformation is completed, she can directly enter the next level, and it will not be a problem to live for hundreds of years.

"It is true that it is not certain who will die first"

Wei Ting said in his heart.

After leaving the capital, he will go south to the birthplace of Li Gu, the Gu clan.

When he comes back again, his strength will go up to a higher level.
