γPen β fun Γ· book.γ, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
This woman is not someone else, it is Cao Hao's concubine, the first prostitute in Chang'an, Yu Linglong!
According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, Yu Linglong and Shi Zhen committed adultery and were sentenced to one and a half years of exile. Cao Yuechan told Cui Geng that she wanted to suppress the case, so she gave Yu Linglong a sum of money and let her fly away.
Unexpectedly, she would appear in the underground secret room of Huichun Tower.
Cui Geng said: "Yu Linglong, why are you here?" β
Yu Linglong was slightly blessed and said: "The concubine did something ugly with Shi Zhen that day, and was discovered by her husband. The husband killed Shi Zhen in a fit of rage, but he remembered the love of husband and wife, and just drove the concubine away. Unexpectedly, the concubine's life was not good, and the profiteer Kairadis discovered his traces and took me captive into the mansion. The concubine refused to obey him, and was locked in the secret room of this Huichun Tower. β
"I see, it's pitiful."
Don't look at Yu Linglong and Cao Hao's adultery, which happened later. But in the end, Cui Geng really can't hate Yu Linglong.
Originally, Yu Linglong liked Li Chongjun, but she didn't like Cao Hao from beginning to end. It's just the pressure of fate that made her have to throw herself into Cao Hao's arms.
Pan Jinlian's murder of Wu Dalang is really hateful, but if she only committed adultery with Ximenqing, maybe she will be praised by later generations as a pioneer of women's emancipation.
Cui Geng looked at Li Longji and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, can you give this king a face?" β
"What does King Ji want?"
"Yu Linglong has been exiled for a year and a half, and it doesn't do anyone any good. As...... Let's just assume we've never seen her. In return, the king did not hold Kairadis accountable for the abduction of women. β
After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Longji indifferently,
Anyway, Li Longji agreed, even if he did something that I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, if he didn't agree, it would be nothing.
Fortunately, Li Longji thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "It's rare that King Ji is so merciful and cherishes jade, why should this prince be a villain in vain?" Jade exquisite! β
"The concubine is here."
"This prince will reward you with a hundred money tickets for gathering Fenglong Silver, and if you take the money, go back to your hometown."
"Yes."
Cui Geng said: "This king will also give you a hundred yuan." β
"King Xie Ji."
It is said that the matter has developed so far, and today's matter is completely over. Although there were a lot of unsatisfactory things, Cui Geng's solution to the theft of Jiaxiang was also a small gain.
However, just as Yu Linglong took the money ticket and was about to leave, Cui Geng suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
"Huh? Wrong! Cui Geng's heart moved, and he said, "Yu Linglong, you stand for this king!" β
"I don't know what else King Ji commands?"
"Commands? Hum! Cui Geng sneered and shouted; Zang Xilie, take down the jade Linglong for this king! β
"Whoa!"
Zang Xilie doesn't have any pity for the jade, and in this case, the Wei Tuo Demon Pestle is not very useful. He stepped forward, locked Yu Linglong's neck like iron tongs in his right hand, and said, "Little lady, don't move!" Make a move, Lao Tzu will strangle you! β
Li Longji said anxiously: "King Ji, what are you doing here?" Is it fun to bully a weak woman? β
Cui Geng was not ashamed, he thought for a moment, "His Royal Highness the Prince, let's talk alone?" β
"Talk? What to talk about? β
"There's so much to talk about, such as...... Cao Hao's murder? β
"This ......"
Li Longji's face was uncertain, but he finally nodded and said, "Let's go down." β
Cui Geng also ordered Zang Xilie to retreat, and the effort was not great, and only Li Longji and Cui Geng were left at the scene.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Cui Geng patted his hand three times and said, "It is said that the king is the holy hand of the flowers, and with a little means, he will lead the princesses of the two countries to descend." However, when I see it today, it is still much worse than this Your Highness! β
Li Longji's eyes flickered a little, and he said, "What do you mean by this?" β
"What else do you mean? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really asked knowingly. Let's find out, the real adulterer of Yu Linglong is not Shi Zhen, who went to Beijing to take the exam, but ...... You! β
"Joke, how can it be Prince Ben? What kind of identity would I hook up with a married woman? β
"This king thinks that if he can gain control of Jufenglong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be humble to a married man."
After a pause, Cui Geng said again: "This king is still a little strange, Cao Hao is unbearable, and his appearance is still good." He also read a few books, and his family is even wealthier...... Why does Yu Linglong look down on Cao Hao so much, and she has to hook up with an ordinary person? Now this king understands that it was instructed by a person who is better than Li Chongjun. Li Chongjun is almost the crown prince, but you are the crown prince of the dynasty. In terms of force, thesis talent, you are above Li Chongjun, and you can't help but be unmoved. β
Li Longji flicked his sleeves and said, "All this is your speculation King Ji, and you can't do it accurately." β
"Speculation?" Cui Geng shook his head and said, "No, this king has evidence!" β
"What...... What evidence? β
Cui Geng said: "It's the fragrance on Yu Linglong's body!" That is the fragrance of ambergris, which can be maintained for ~ a long time. Let me ask you, only you and Princess Taiping each have a piece of ambergris in Chang'an City, where did the ambergris on Yu Linglong's clothes come from? β
"I ......"
Li Longji didn't expect that it was ambergris who betrayed him, and forced himself to calm down: "Maybe ...... Maybe Kairadis has another piece of ambergris? β
"Huh, Kairadis?" Cui Geng said: "Don't forget, Yu Linglong just said that Kairadis kidnapped her, but she resolutely refused. In this case, Kairadis is crazy and uses precious ambergris to lavender Jade Linglong? β
Cui Geng stood up, paced slowly in the room, and said, "Let this king guess, Yu Linglong turned out to be the first prostitute in Chang'an, and she has a lot of experience, how can she not see through your careful thoughts?" Even if she obeys you, she will definitely have to prevent you from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Therefore, after the incident, you don't dare to kill people, you can only use love and righteousness. You participated in the ambergris party in order to please Yu Linglong. Later, for some reason, you colluded with Kailadis. It was not appropriate for Yu Linglong to stay by her side after all. So, you discussed with Yu Linglong and asked her to go to Persia temporarily to avoid the limelight, and then take her back after you ascended the throne as emperor. Yu Linglong agreed, and Kairadis received the order, so he let her live in this secret room for the time being, and then send her out of Chang'an to Persia on a suitable day. β
Cui Geng's analysis was as if he had seen it in person, and when Li Longji heard it, he couldn't help but get up and down his body, drenched in cold sweat.
However, he is the Tang Ming Emperor of the future generations, and at a critical juncture, his mind is not confused, and he is thinking hard about countermeasures.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said, "King Ji has said so much, the only thing that can be regarded as evidence is the fragrance on Yu Linglong's body. Relying on this article alone to exonerate Cao Hao is far from enough. Besides, if you really have any conclusive evidence, why do you have to talk privately with this prince, just make it public? β
Cui Gengdao: "That's right, there is no conclusive evidence for this king now." However, I thought there was nothing strange about this case, so I did not investigate it in detail. This king is called Cui Qingtian, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks ...... Am I really incapable of bringing this case to light? β
Li Longji was a little short of breath and said, "You ...... What exactly do you want? β
"It's not what the king wants, but what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants? Whether to fight with this king or compromise on this, you can weigh it yourself. β
