Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 47 Xue Ren himself
Xue Ren packed the chicken and milk at Caishikou, went to the medicine hall to grab some medicine for his mother, and then headed home.

Thinking of what his mother said last night, Xue Ren felt sad. Yes, he was 36 years old, and the best years of his life were spent in Nanzhao.

When I got home and walked into my mother's room, the doctor said yesterday: The old man has become seriously ill and his time is short.

Thinking about it, Xue Ren felt sad.

Only in the last days of my mother's life can I fulfill my filial piety.

Walking closer, Xue Ren called softly: "Mom, how are you?"

Seeing Xue Ren coming back, Xue's mother stretched out her withered and yellow hands: "Son, you are suffering. It is your mother who has dragged you down."

"Mom, what are you talking about? We have been dependent on each other these years, no one is dragging the other down!"

"Yi'er, Mom has been feeling worse and worse these days. I know my health well. I may not stay with you anymore."

"Mom, mother, please don't say such things. If you say such things, my son will feel hurt!" Xue Ren held Xue's mother's hand and shed tears.

"Yi'er, my mother has seen it all these years and asked you what happened back then. If you refused to tell me, my mother wouldn't ask. But since your eldest brother died, you continued to live in his name, and I knew , what happened must be a big deal!”

Mother Xue finished speaking in one breath, gasping for breath.

Xue Ren, no, it should be Xue Yi, tears streaming down his face, especially for a rough guy like him, who is even more touching when he cries.

Mother Xue went on to say: "Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I can hear your cry. Can you tell my mother what happened when you went to war?"

Xue Yi shook his head:
"Mom, don't ask. I have avenged my brothers in the Pioneer Army. From now on, no matter what happens, I will have no regrets!"

Mother Xue opened her eyes wide: "Son, what have you done? What does revenge mean?"

Xue Yi comforted her: "Mom, don't think too much, and don't know too much. I'm going to put some incense on my eldest brother, and I'll make some medicine for you. You can have a good rest."

Mother Xue had no choice but to lie down again.

Xue Yi tucked the corners of Xue's mother's quilt and walked out of the room.

Xue's mother watched Xue Yi leave, with a line of clear tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. She took a breath and closed her eyes, never waking up again.

Xue Yi walked out of the room, offered an incense stick to Xue Ren, and bowed three times to the positions of General Lu Beilin and the brothers of the Pioneer Army next to him:
"General, brothers, I have revenge!"

Xue Yi went out carrying the medicinal materials and went next door to make medicine for his mother, when he passed by Luo Ning who was looking for her.

When Xue Yi returned, Han Jiang was confronting Luo Ning in the yard, leaving old things behind and eventually turned into a fight.

Unfortunately, there was no outcome in this fight.

Lord Qin Zhao, commander of the Jin Yiwei, arrived, Xue Yi surrendered voluntarily, and Han Jiang and others were captured without a fight.

Unfortunately, Xue Yi never took another look at his mother.

Luo Ning was quietly recuperating in the mansion these days. Qin Zhao arrived that day, rescued Luo Ning, and caught Xue Yi, Han Jiang and others on the spot.

Xue Yi surrendered and Duobei's case was solved.

It's just that the emperor's most beloved Dali Siqing was injured.

That's great?

From the emperor to the queen, there was a meal of rewards and commendations. The emperor granted Luo Ning a pardon and gave him a month's holiday. He also instructed the commander to promptly report Luo's recovery status.

No, Mr. Qin almost stays in the Luo Mansion, and never leaves except to sleep!

The Luo Mansion was also eager for Mr. Qin to show up every day. That day, Qin Zhao came back with Luo Ning in his arms, with an anxious look on his face, which simply hurt his beloved.

At this moment, Luo Ning was basking in the sun in the yard. It was really boring to do nothing all day. He missed the days of Dali Temple. Luo Ning discussed with Qin Zhao:

"Can I go back to Dali Temple tomorrow?"

"not good."

"I'm fine now, look, running and jumping has been fine for a long time, and it was only a skin trauma that day."

"not good."

"Master Qin, good sir, please!"

"not good."

"Then tell me about the case. You haven't allowed me to ask questions these days. Tell me today, and I will stay in the house for another day tomorrow. How about it? How about it?"

"All right!"

Qin Zhao was helpless.

"Xue Ren, oh no, it should be Xue Yi, who is he?"

"He was the commander of the vanguard army in the Battle of Ma Guipo. King Mu appeared to be leading them into the battle, but in fact he had colluded with Nanzhao."

"King Mu and the current King of Nanzhao?"

"Yes, they promised each other to help each other ascend the throne."

"Didn't the vanguard army be wiped out?"

"Xue Yi got seven swords in his body and fell into a coma on the spot. When he was ambushed, everyone knew that King Mu was in collusion with Duobai, but they were outnumbered. Duobai may be too conceited. He thought it was safe, but Xue Yi suddenly woke up in the middle of the night."

"Then he didn't go back to the army and tell the general about the situation? I remember it was Lu Beilin."

"He knew that King Mu was still in the army, so he did not dare to act rashly, and there was no evidence. So, he fled to a farmer's house in Majipo, asking for information and collecting evidence at the same time."

"That's right, if he ran back then, King Mu would have killed him right away if he knew about it."

Qin Zhao nodded:

"As a result, he stayed for three months. During this period, the king of Nanzhao ascended the throne and was appointed as a general. Lu Beilin defeated Nanzhao and the army returned."

"At this time, Xue Yi got the evidence?"

"He has been stationed at Ma Guipo. After the last battle, he actually intercepted the secret letter written by King Mu to King Nanzhao."

"Great! What is the content? Can it prove that King Mu is collaborating with the enemy?"

"Yes, the army had already returned at this time, so Xue Yi returned to Anyang City after the army with the evidence."

"What happened next? Why don't we know about these things?"

Qin Zhao sighed and said in a low voice:
"Xue Yi found General Lu Beilin with the evidence. General Lu was shocked. He immediately went to see the late emperor with the evidence. But then, I don't know what happened. General Lu's house was raided and executed!"

"Does the emperor know about this?"

"I don't know. I handed the file to the emperor yesterday. He only knows that the late emperor regretted doing something wrong that year, so he sealed King Mu to Mobei and abdicated to live in the Southwest Mountains."

"It seems that the late emperor is still aware of his mistake, but it is too unfair to have a full family of generals and vanguards."

Qin Zhao agreed:

"Do you know who that Han Jiang is? He is a confidant of King Mu. He has been looking for Xue Yi's whereabouts for these years. This time we met him. It was Xue Yi who was seen shopping at Caishikou."

"It seems that when I reported King Mu back then, King Mu knew who the insider was, so he always wanted to kill him to silence him."

Luo Ning knew in his heart that the person who leaked the news must be the late emperor, but he couldn't imagine why the late emperor would trust such a son who had no bottom line and would do anything for the throne.

Qin Zhao continued:
"Xue Yi and Xue Ren are twin brothers. When Xue Ren saw that General Lu was killing all his family members, he knew that there was no hope of exposing what happened back then. At this time, Han Jiang approached him for the first time and was defeated by Xue Ren. So I took my mother and brothers to hide."

"After Xue Ren died, Xue Yi continued to live under the name of his brother? But he didn't dare to be too prominent, so he could only do odd jobs?"

Luo Ning sighed deeply and straightened out Xue Yi's life later:
"How did Xue Yi kill Duobai?"

"Xue Yi learned how to tame animals in Nanzhao. He raised a milk snake. It was the snake that killed Duobei."

Luo Ning heard nothing, and suddenly thought of the wound on Duobei's ankle: "How did the snake enter the room?"

"There was a vent by the window in the room. After Duobai fell asleep that night, the milk snake entered the room through there."

"This milk snake drinks milk?"

"Yes, after drinking milk, they will attack when they hear the command, and the command is the whistle."

"No wonder, everyone in the accommodation heard the whistle!"

Thinking of the milk at the window again, Luo Ning asked: "How did Xue Yi put the milk into the room? How did he take it away?"

"That night, Duobei had a dinner party and drank. When he returned to his room, he didn't notice the milk tray by the window. The next day, Xue Yi kept waiting downstairs with water. When he heard the shop assistant making a noise, he rushed up and took the milk tray away in the chaos. "

"So, Xue Yi wanted to kill Duobai more than one night, but he succeeded only on the last night?"

"No, the milk snake only attacks once. On weekdays, when Xue Ren is on duty, he trains the milk snake to go in and out without attacking!"

"I guess, Duobai woke up, saw that it was a snake, and wanted to control him with a whistle, so he went to get his own whistle. Unexpectedly, the milk snake had already attacked, so he fell in the middle of the room."

It is a vast world full of wonders. Luo Ning is also worried about Nanzhao's poisonous insects and animal taming skills. This killing method is simply unbelievable.

"Then Xue Yi also knew that he would stay at the Tongfu Inn, so he went to work. I remember he went to the back kitchen for more than a month."

Qin Zhao nodded:
"According to Xue Yi himself, he wanted to kill King Mu. Unfortunately, Xue's mother has been in poor health in the past few years. He originally planned to go to Mobei to kill King Mu after his mother passed away. Unexpectedly, Duobei came first."

"Last question, how did you find me that day?"

Qin Zhao was still frightened: "I almost scared you to death. We agreed to go to Xue Ren's house the next day, but you went first. When I rushed to the inn, the waiter said that you had left, so I hurried after you."

Luo Ning smiled, the sunny day was very warm, also because of Qin Zhao's protection.

But thinking of Xue Yi, Qin Zhao and Luo Ning still felt heavy in their hearts.

Half a month later, Luo Ning returned to Dali Temple. Song Zhuer and Dali Temple Si Zhi: Wei Yan, Meng Xiao, Yao Huan, Chief Secretary Li, and Song Si Warden stood neatly at the door.

"I miss Mr. Luo!" Song Zhuer shouted to Luo Ning with a smile.

"I would be shy!" Luo Ning also replied with a smile.

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed loudly, everyone's Lord Luo finally came back.

Walking into the room that Song Zhuer had tidied up, Luo Ning took a deep breath:

“The taste of Dali Temple is great!”

Be careful, Qin Zhaoduan is sitting there.

"Why are you here?" Luo Ning asked happily.

Qin Zhao stood up and said: "I have come to pass on the emperor's oral instructions. In the future, I will grant Dali Temple the privilege of accessing all the dusty archives of Dali Temple. However, it will only be limited to Mr. Luo himself!"

This is so good! ! !

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. I will do my best!"

The two smiled at each other.

Song Zhuer brought in the tea, but before she could pour it into the tea cup.The Yamen servant from Jingzhao Mansion rushed in:

"Master Luo, Master Luo, it's not good! There was a murder case in the Chen family of Tofu Shop in the west of the city. All four members of the family were killed this morning!"

　"The Murder of the Nanzhao Envoy" is a plot line from Ye Beixi's first novel. He finally told the story in his heart. Although it was a made-up plot, it still fulfilled one of his wishes.Next story "The Hidden One"
