After half a month of bumpy road, Hua Lang and his party finally returned to the capital.

After returning to the capital, they immediately went to see the Eight Sages King, and told them in detail what they encountered in Jinling, the Eight Sages King was shocked after hearing it, and hurriedly took the treasure map to see the emperor Zhao Zhen, and Hua Lang and the others went back to the detective agency directly, after all, their affairs have been completed, and then how to find the treasure through the treasure map and how to deal with the murderer, that is the matter of the emperor Zhao Zhen, and it has nothing to do with them.

When I returned to the detective agency, it was already dusk, the stream in front of the house was flowing quietly, and the willows were already hanging down.

The weather was sultry, and when everyone came back, they set up a banquet in the courtyard, eating and drinking while blowing the wind.

At this time, Wen Meng suddenly asked: "Now that the Eight Sages King has entered the palace to see the emperor, do you think the emperor will kill Chai Rongshan, King Zheng?" ”

Yin Wuxian swallowed a glass of wine and said: "This is for sure, Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan, this is a rebellion, maybe it will be connected to the nine clans." ”

Hua Wan'er had the same idea as Yin Wuyi, but at this time, Hua Lang was silent, Wen dreamed of Hua Lang like this, and asked, "Do you think the emperor will not kill Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan?" ”

Hua Lang smiled and said: "King Zheng rebelled, this is a big crime, the emperor is afraid that he will definitely kill King Zheng for the sake of his own country, but the Zhulian Nine Clans will not, it should be given poisonous wine or three-foot white silk." ”

Everyone couldn't believe it when they saw what Hua Lang said so surely, because no matter how merciful the emperor was, he wouldn't be tolerant of those who wanted to rebel, right?

However, there was not much discussion about the matter, and after a few casual words, they continued to drink and have fun.

A few days after returning from Jinling, news came from the palace that King Zheng Chai Rongzhi was given poisoned wine by the emperor, but although King Zheng rebelled, it did not affect the Zheng family.

When everyone heard the news, they were all surprised, because things were just as Hanaro expected; So after knowing how Emperor Lu Dao dealt with Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan, everyone came to ask Hua Lang how he knew that Emperor Lu Dao would deal with Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan, but although everyone asked, Hua Lang smiled and did not answer.

has been entangled for a long time, and Hua Lang refused to say anything, only saying that it was a blind guess.

Everyone had no choice but to give up.

However, when everyone stopped asking about it, Hua Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that what happened on the stone tablet in the Taimiao Temple of the Song Dynasty seemed to be true.

It turned out that the Song Dynasty was Zhao Kuangyin who took the Hou Zhou, so when Zhao Kuangyin was alive, he set up a stone tablet in the Taimiao, and wrote an inscription on it to inform the future generations of the emperor, one of which is to protect the descendants of the Chai family, and the punishment cannot be increased if the crime is committed.

This Taimiao inscription can only be seen alone after the new emperor ascends the throne, so the world does not know, now Zhao Zhen will Zheng Wang Chai Rong handle to death, and has not added to his family, I think it is to abide by the inscription in the Taimiao.

After Zheng Wang Chai Rongshan was killed, the lives of Hualang and others continued as usual, when there was a case, the case was solved, and when there was no case, he played around with Wen Meng and the others, and the life was delicious, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of summer.

The end of summer in the Central Plains is not so hot anymore, but the leaves have not yet withered.

In a few days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month of July, that is, the begging festival, the whole capital is filled with indescribable liveliness, and the women of those big families have come out to buy the things they need during the begging festival, and for a time the entire capital has almost become a woman's world.

It was the third day of the seventh month, and Hanaro and the others had nothing to do, so they also wandered around the streets.

At this time, I saw a group of people in the center of the street watching each other, Hua Lang and Wen Meng and others already had a strong sense of curiosity, but now seeing so many people vying to watch, how could they miss it, so they also squeezed in.

And after they squeezed in, they found out that it was a person who was selling spiders there, and said that the webs that his spiders spit out were all round, fifty yuan each.

Although the woman standing on the side was chattering and discussing, very few of them actually bought.

After Hua Lang saw it, he couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect to meet a spider seller here.

felt that it was not interesting, so everyone squeezed out again, but after squeezing out, Wen Meng asked curiously: "Is it expensive to spit out a spider that is round?" ”

When Hua Wan'er saw Wen Meng asking this question, she burst out laughing and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't have played Joy Spider Yingqiao, right?" ”

When Hua Wan'er said this, Wen Meng's face suddenly turned red, and after a long time, she said: "I'm a chivalrous girl in the rivers and lakes, where I have time to play with spiders!" ”

After hearing this, Hua Lang hurriedly smiled: "This is not playing with spiders, this is begging!" ”

"Beggar?"

"That's right, the seventh day of the seventh month is in the little spider Anzygozi, and the next day I look at it, if the net is round, it is said to be clever, this is the custom of women begging for ingenuity!"

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Wen Meng understood why there were people selling spiders on the street, and after she understood, she hurriedly said angrily: "I don't know what's so great about Lu Dao, I'm a chivalrous woman in the rivers and lakes, what kind of ingenuity do I want!" ”

For this matter, everyone laughed and didn't pay much attention to it.

Then, everyone played on the street again, at this time, I saw Yan Shu coming from across the street, he was accompanied by a few confidants and friends, Hua Lang knew that Yan Shu was rich and noble all his life, and his favorite thing in his life was to drink and write lyrics with three or five friends, and his words also wrote more graceful words, which can reflect the leisurely and comfortable life of the scholar.

Because Ouyang Xiu had seen it before, Hua Lang and the others had met Yan Shu a few times, and now when they met on the street, it didn't seem good not to say hello, so Hua Lang led people forward and gave Yan Shu an elder salute, after all, Yan Shu was almost fifty years old at this time, much older than Hua Lang!

Yan Shu also saw Hua Lang earlier, and he was quite optimistic about Hua Lang before, so after seeing Hua Lang, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hua Lang, you are also here to hang out?" ”

Hua Lang was a little puzzled for a while, he was indeed wandering, but he was not here, the puzzled Hua Lang looked around, and then suddenly realized that they had unconsciously walked to the entrance of the green street in the capital, in the green street, all the green buildings in it, and at night, it was simply a street that never sleeped.

Now that they met in Qingjie, it's no wonder that Yan Shu has such a question, but Yan Shu asked this question, but it made Hualang difficult, he is not a person who likes to come here to have fun, but the literati of the Song Dynasty like to use it as a flaunt, how should he answer Yan Shu?
