Chapter 61 Donghua Gate
Bai Chun didn't know what Ye Qing did last night, but after thinking about it, if even as Jinse said, going to a romantic place that men like to go, there would be nothing wrong with it.
But... if he remembered correctly, it seemed that he only had forty cents in his pocket? The few taels of silver even made him give Jinse casually. What did he use to go to a place of love and joy?
Also, why is he so sure that the two golden men will not come to their homes again to cause trouble and temptation? Could he have done something stupid? Or...? He went out today...
Sitting there, staring at the food in a daze, I didn't sleep all night last night, because of the grievances when talking to Ye Qing after he came back, I had already disappeared. Then I thought it turned out to be inexplicable concerns about Ye Qing after he left.
"Jinse, do you think the young master will do something stupid today?" Bai Chun suddenly looked up and asked at Jinse who was looking at her.
"It shouldn't be? Look at the young master's appearance when he went out just now, he seemed very happy. He shouldn't do stupid things, right?" Jinse tilted his head and thought about it. He recalled Ye Qing's every move after getting up early. He didn't think he had any abnormal behavior. He had nothing else except for saying some strange things.
"Let's do this, after you finish your meal, go to the gate of Yan Mansion to see if he is really on duty." Bai Chun couldn't go out, but he was inexplicably worried about Ye Qing, so he had to let Jinse go for a hard time.
"Oh, okay, I'll go there later." Jinse nodded obediently, then refused the silver given by Bai Chun, and repeatedly said that the silver given by Ye Qing had not been spent.
Ye Qing came out early today, so when he walked to Yu Street, he saw Li Heng slowly coming out of the alley opposite, yawning while helping the Yanling Knife at his waist.
When he saw Ye Qing standing on the Imperial Street, Li Heng rubbed his eyes a little incredible. It was the first time he saw Ye Qing waiting for him here on the Imperial Street. He used to go to his house to find him. Is it because the sun was planning to come out from the west today?
Ye Qing was too lazy to pay attention to Li Heng's jokes. He didn't sleep very well last night. After all, this was the first time he killed someone in another world. Although the guilt in his heart was not as strong as in the previous life.
But after all, it is a matter of life, so even if I fall asleep, I don’t sleep well. I still think about what happened in the Sceiling Wind and Drizzle Tower last night.
I walked absent-mindedly with Li Heng on the Imperial Street. The shops that got up early had begun to welcome guests. On the spacious Imperial Street, there were carriages or sedan chairs out of the city from time to time. I quickly walked towards the city gate.
The two of them talked little along the way, and Li Heng just said that after returning to Yan Mansion yesterday, Zhao Qier and Pou Li San killed several golden men yesterday, adding fuel to the fire, and told them over and over again.
When passing by the slanting wind and drizzle building, there were still carriages and sedan chairs parked here for the night, but Ye Qing did not see the shadow of the government office handling the case as expected by the government office.
He was full of doubts. If it weren't for the tooth marks on his arms and some swelling of his lips, he would have doubted that everything that happened last night was just a dream that was so real that it could not be real?
I held back my curiosity, and because of the swelling of my lips, Ye Qing rarely spoke along the way. Even Li Heng was a little surprised. What happened to Ye Qing today?
Looking at the sedan chairs of officials passing by, rushing to court, and those imperial guards who were escorting the sedan chairs in a hurry, Li Heng, who was also wearing imperial guards uniforms, nodded slightly and greeted the imperial guards he didn't know, and the imperial guards over there would nod slightly or team officials to return the greeting.
Ye Qing pointed to his slightly swollen lips, and Li Heng understood why Ye Qing was abnormal today: "Will he be kidding where he was fighting with the Jin people yesterday?"
"I don't know, but it's possible." Ye Qing recalled seriously, then thrust his thumb and said to Li Heng.
At the gate of Yan Mansion, a carriage was filled with sheep horn lanterns, and next to it was Su Jinsheng, the chief manager of the Yan family, and Situ Song, the chief manager of the hospital guard.
"Why go, this is it?" Ye Qing pointed to the huge carriage at the door. It seemed that the sheep horn lanterns made yesterday were all brought to Yan Mansion.
"People will be taken away in the palace later, so now I will prepare it first after obeying the master's instructions." Su Jinsheng bowed to Ye Qing. Yesterday, Old Liu was in his ear, but he had been talking about Ye Qing's heroic deeds several times, so he bowed at this moment, which means meeting today, and also praise Ye Qing's bravery.
"Whoever has time will be together." Ye Qing said with a smile.
He still has a good impression of Su Jinsheng. At least he did it on the surface, Situ Songqiang, who had eyes on his head and nostrils, looked at people with his nostrils.
"Okay, it's a matter of determination. Su also wants to hear Mr. Ye tell me in person..."
"Don't just talk about the young master at once. I don't know what materials I am? If Mr. Su..."
"Brother Ye should also change his words? I can't afford to take on the word "sir"?" Su Jinsheng smiled and interrupted Ye Qing's words. After changing his words smoothly, he said with some humor.
"Brother Su?"
"Brother Ye?"
"Haha..." The two looked at each other and smiled. Both of them saw each other's intentions from each other's eyes. It was nothing more than Situ Song, whose eyes were on his head next to him.
After the two of them exchanged tacitly greeted each other, when Ye Qing was about to enter Yan Mansion, he heard Li Heng pointing to the sedan chair not far away and asking: "Which high official in the court? Such a big show? These guards are from the Imperial City Department, aren't they?"
"No, Brother Li Heng has good eyesight. This is because my right prime minister, Lord Tang, and his son, went to court. Do you think this is a big show?" Su Jinsheng whispered, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"You Xiang Lord Tang?" Ye Qing's heart moved, and then looked at the left and right sides of the gate of Yan Mansion and in front. Could it be that Tang Mansion is very close to Yan Mansion?
However, Ye Qing did not ask Su Jinsheng what the Tang family was in this Qinghefang, and how much land it occupied.
The two sedan chairs of the Tang family, under the escort of dozens of imperial guards of the Imperial City Division, took neat steps, and their momentum was completely different from what Ye Qing encountered along the way. The imperial guards of other officials were completely different. They had a hint of courage and sharpness, and quickly followed the sedan chair towards the direction of the palace.
The imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty was the most bizarre royal palace in history. It was different from other dynasties that built imperial palaces on the north side of a city. From this, it faced south and north, it was also different from some built in the middle of a city, surrounded by other buildings.
The Southern Song Royal Palace built in Lin'an City was built on the southernmost part of Lin'an City. The south gate was the regular entrance to the palace, but it faced the Qiantang River and aimed the butt of the palace at the entire Lin'an City.
However, the layout inside is based on the construction pattern of facing south and facing north, so if the imperial officials want to attend the morning court, it would take half an hour less than when they were not yet in peace before.
Instead, you must start from the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace, and follow the long palace wall on the east to reach the main entrance, which means it is extremely ornately decorated with gold nails, the roof is paved with copper tiles, and the dragon, phoenix, and the vermilion red main entrance of the South Gate Li Zheng.
Under the escort of the Imperial City Imperial Army, two sedan chairs walked towards Donghua Gate in a consistent manner. Just as they were about to approach Donghua Gate, both the two sedan chairs and the Imperial City Imperial Army who were leading the way in front of them couldn't help but slow down.
Tang Situi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, opened his eyes with some confusion. When he walked here, the sedan chair would speed up. After all, even if he entered the imperial city, the sedan chair would speed up unconsciously. He was looking forward to reaching Lizhengmen as soon as possible, but why did he slow down here today?
Just as he was about to lift the curtain and look up to ask, he heard a burst of noisy sound not far away in front of him. Then Tang Shuo walked out of the sedan chair, whispered to Tang Situi, then passed over the imperial guards of the Imperial City and walked forward to check.
I saw many officials who were about to attend court and stopped here, and the people from the front office of the palace had already surrounded the Donghua Bridge, which was flowing into the river in the palace, and was covered with water.
"What's going on?" The same words were spoken from Tang Shuo and another official at the same time.
The commander of the Palace Front Office Camp guarding the Palace obviously knew the two officials who were now in front of him, so he quickly walked over to salute with his sword in his waist, frowned and said, "Mr. Tang, Lord Liang, I just found that there were two bodies in the river while patrolling the Palace Front Office, which are being salvaged. It is related to the safety of the Palace. Please ask the two adults and all of you to wait for a moment."
"Corpsy?" Tang Shuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his right eyelid jumped several times, and then stretched his neck and looked at the river bank not far away.
"Yes, they are two corpses. Two lords..." The head of the Palace Front looked at the two lords whose faces were full of curiosity, one was the Minister of War and the other was the Minister of Justice. It was obvious that they were qualified to investigate this matter. It was even possible that these two corpses would have to be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for disposal and investigation.
So he paused and said, "Please, two sirs."
Tang Shuo and Liang Ke's family looked at each other, then bowed to each other, and then walked side by side with the other officials in front of the palace and walked towards the river embankment with the commander of the front office of the palace.
When the two walked to the river bank, they saw that the body had just been salvaged. At this moment, the wet body was lying on the ground, with a burly back and messy hair, one of the shoes on their feet was gone, and the bare feet were white and swollen.
"Flip the body over." Liang Ke's family took another step forward and said with a serious expression.
From the back, this person is tall and burly, and his clothes are intact on his back, without a trace of blood or wounds. Could it be that he fell into the river and drowned?
