Chapter 137: Gradual counterattack
It was the first time that there were so many powerful and dignitaries in Longqing Fang, and it was the first time that Longqing Chishang was so lively, and there were hundreds of nobles and dignitaries who went to the banquet today, plus at least a few thousand of their entourage and slaves, and they landed on the island in the middle of the lake.
The team arrived on the island and came to Shangguan Wan'er's mansion, except for Zhang Changzong and Yang Fan, who were already living on the island, only Princess An Le stepped forward with them, because she was a royal family, and she was able to use the Forbidden Garden to feast guests this time, also because of her identity, now that something has happened, she naturally has to come forward.
The three of them stepped forward, Zhang Changzong couldn't hold back, rushed forward and knocked on the door first, Princess Anle glanced at Yang Fan, and said teasingly: "General Yang, you seem to be a little nervous." ”
Yang Fan looked at the vermilion lacquer door without squinting, and said lightly: "What do I have to be nervous about?" ”
The corners of Princess Anle's lips pursed a hint of triumph at the success of the conspiracy, and she sneered: "Do you think that Shangguan will be able to avoid people today?" As long as she comes out, who else can she hide from her pot-bellied appearance? In front of everyone's eyes, this matter will soon spread throughout Chang'an City, and then the rumors that have spread in the market will enter the ears of these high-ranking officials and magnates. Do you think that at that time, in order to protect you, my imperial grandmother will vigorously investigate the ministers and scribes and make this scandal known to everyone, or will she be wrong and quickly behead you and Shangguan Wan'er? ”
Yang Fan suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of surprise and surprise that he couldn't hide. Li Bao'er saw it in her eyes, only thinking that it was his shocked and frightened look, and her heart was even more relieved, she sneered proudly: "Do you think that I let people spread the word that you and Shangguan Wan'er have a personal affair, just to ruin your reputation?" If you think so, you're wrong! Miss by a mile! I, Li Bao'er, have never been such a magnanimous person, if you offend me, I want you to die. I want you to die without a place to bury! ”
Yang Fan didn't listen to the cruel words behind her, his thoughts were extremely confused, what the hell is going on, the rumor is obviously that Wan'er and Zhang Changzong have a personal affair, why did she say that it was me, didn't she want to avenge her brother and sister, but deliberately dealt with me, but how could that rumor ......"
Yang Fan suddenly thought of something, and he turned his head to look at the crowd. Du Wentian raised a face with fingerprints, and was glaring at Zhang Changzong's back with resentment, his face full of smug sneers. In an instant, Yang Fan understood everything......
Zhang Changzong quickly walked down the steps, and Li Bao'er immediately greeted him and said, "Zhang Fengchen." What do you say about the Shangguan waiting system? ”
Zhang Changzong had been hinted at by Yang Fan before, but he had not participated in the whole process after all. I'm afraid that things may not be as easy as Yang Fan said. So he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, he glanced at Yang Fan first, and then said, "Shangguan is waiting to be controlled...... I bow in the back of the mountain. ”
"What?"
Li Bao'er was also stunned when she heard this, a woman with Liujia can ride a horse and bow down? Apparently not! Could it be that Du Wentian's news is wrong? But no matter what, she had to see Shangguan Wan'er's appearance with her own eyes, and Li Bao'er was stunned. Immediately, he said, "Good! Then let's go to the back mountain! ”
Li Bao'er turned around, hurriedly walked a few steps with her skirt in hand, and said to the many Chang'an officials and gentry who were waiting in front: "Shangguan is bowing behind the mountain, I'll go directly to the back of the mountain to see her." Du Gongzi. Please come forward, this palace has something to ask you. ”
Du Wentian hurriedly ran in front of her, bowed down and said, "Your Highness." ”
Li Bao'er turned around and walked towards the mountain, and asked coldly, "Are you sure that the woman with Liujia in her arms that day is Shangguan Wan'er?" ”
Du Wentian hesitated for a moment and replied, "Du really doesn't know what Shangguan Wan'er looks like. However, the woman who donated the sesame oil money in the name of Zheng Wan'er was indeed pregnant, which is indeed true. Moreover, the other two men who accompanied her on the trip under pseudonyms at that time were indeed Yang Fan and Zhang Changzong, judging from the words and deeds between the three, the identity and status of that woman was by no means below Zhang Changzong, who else could it be besides Shangguan Wan'er? ”
Li Bao'er relaxed a little after hearing this, and whispered: "I will see Shangguan Wan'er in a while, you can show me more carefully to see if it is the person you have seen!" ”
Du Wentian was just about to nod his head in agreement, but suddenly stretched out a hand from behind, put it on his shoulder, and pulled him out roughly.
Wu Chongxun squeezed over and whispered to Li Bao'er: "An Le, what are you doing here?" Let's drink and feast in Biyou Palace, and accidentally caused a fire, the saint will not like it when he hears it, but it shouldn't have been burned, what else can it be? Whether the imperial court is investigating the dereliction of duty of the internal supervisor, or investigating the fire of those pit cooks hired by the Du family, your status as a dignified princess is honorable, can you be guilty of being in the middle to serve as a judge? You see, the magnates of the entire Chang'an City have been invited to the island in the middle of the lake by you, and this battle is inevitably too big. ”
Li Bao'er glanced at him and scolded: "You don't care about my business!" ”
Yang Fan and Zhang Changzong walked side by side, and asked uneasily: "Erlang, can we really hide from the world this time?" ”
Yang Fan said: "I won't tell you, when I was wandering around Chang'an City, I happened to see the Jianghu artists who were good at illusion performing tricks, and then I had an idea to think of this method. Don't worry, unless they want to search their bodies, they will never be able to see whether it is true or false, you say, do they have the reason and courage to search the body of the official? ”
Zhang Changzong sighed quietly and said, "This is the best." ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
The so-called mountain on this island is nothing more than a high slope, and when you climb over the high slope, you will see a green grass that spreads like a green carpet to the dense jungle at the foot of the mountain.
Although the slope is gentle, it is still the flattest near the woods, so the polo field is set up there, and seven or eight women wearing scarves, long boots, and holding canes, riding tall horses, are driving and scrambling on the field, and the battle seems to be very fierce.
A woman riding a red horse shook the reins and galloped, suddenly bent over, bowed to the ground dexterously, and hit a ball sideways backwards, the red ball slid an arc, flew out seven or eight feet away, bounced and rolled to the ground, and several women who could grab the position here immediately scrambled together.
As soon as Li Bao'er crossed the hillside, he saw the crowd of people who were bowing, and immediately looked for Shangguan Wan'er's figure in the crowd. When she saw the pretty woman riding a red horse, she suddenly stopped walking, and the whole person stayed there. As soon as she was zhanzhu, the thousands of people who followed her were also zhanzhu.
Although it is still far away, but looking at the corridor of facial features, the woman riding the jujube red horse is clearly Shangguan Wan'er, her clothes are fluttering, galloping on a horse, coming and going, looking at the vigorous and flexible posture and her weak little waist when she bends over and leans back, who dares to say that she is pregnant?
Li Bao'er Huo Ran turned his head to look at Du Wentian. Du Wentian was also a little confused, the woman who was bowing right away was indeed very similar to the pot-bellied woman he had seen that day, although they were standing on the hillside at this time, far away from the polo field. The facial features of the characters are not very clear, but there are a total of seven or eight people on the field. There was no woman like the woman she saw that day.
At this time, Li Bao'er had no time to confirm with him. The matter has come to this point, no matter whether what Du Wentian said is true or not, she has to go deeper into this scene, Li Bao'er took a long breath, and walked down the slope, walking. While secretly feeling a trace of happiness in his heart: "Fortunately, I found an excuse first, left a way out, and never tore my face with her publicly, otherwise today's matter would be difficult." ”
The red ball was scrambled by several women. Suddenly hit in front of "Shangguan Wan'er", "Shangguan Wan'er" waved her cane, rode her horse to grab it, and was about to rush to the ball, when she suddenly saw a large group of people and horses coming over on the slope, she seemed to be stunned, and subconsciously strangled the reins.
However, the women who rushed over to grab the ball did not have time to stop, and their crotch horses collided heavily with the horses of "Shangguan Wan'er", only to hear the neighing of the war horses, and "Shangguan Wan'er" fell off the horses, rolled a few times, and fell into the grass at the edge of the forest.
The women hurriedly jumped off their horses and rushed forward. Li Bao'er condescended to see clearly, although the "Shangguan Wan'er" fell off the horse, rolled a few laps, and fell into the knee-high grass at the edge of the forest, but she could still see her people, and she never left her sight from beginning to end.
Several women who bowed helped "Shangguan Wan'er" up, and "Shangguan Wan'er" didn't know whether she broke her foot or twisted her waist, only to see her cross her waist with one hand, leaning over, only limping two steps, and then waving her hand. At that moment, someone shouted again, and a coachman drove a green oil truck from the side of the Ju field, and the women carried her into the car again.
When Li Bao'er arrived in a hurry with someone, Shangguan Wan'er was already sitting in the car.
It was summer, and the curtains of the light car were rolled high, and the inside of the car was transparent and clear. The person who rode the horse and bowed was indeed her, and the person who fell off the horse and was injured and was carried into the car was still her, she ...... Her appearance is ......, and she is not wrong at all, she is indeed Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be still in some pain, she lightly crossed her waist with one hand, and pressed the handrail standing by the window with the other hand, her eyebrows were light, and she seemed to be a little puzzled that Li Bao'er had brought so many people to the island: "Princess Anle, Wu Concubine." Yes! Zhang Fengchen, King Shouchun, King Hengyang, your brothers are also here. ”
Wan'er greeted them: "Wan'er just fell and breathed, so I can't get out of the car to see each other, and I ask you to forgive Wan'er for being rude!" ”
Zhang Changzong and Wu Chongxun hurriedly gave up their hands and said bluntly. The five brothers of Li Chengqi were even more respectful to Shangguan Wan'er, and bowed to her for a long time, and the courtesy was very thoughtful.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the people standing behind them suspiciously, and her eyes were especially surprised when she saw those eunuchs and pit chefs wearing aprons and carrying spatulas, but with her status, she naturally wouldn't ask people curiously about the origin of these people.
Wu Chongxun didn't know the real purpose of An Legong's insistence on seeing Shangguan Wan'er, he Xiangshang Guan Wan'er said haha: "Shangguan waiting, today my husband and wife have a big banquet of guests and friends, you are the most important guest of our couple, doesn't it mean that you are occasionally infected with a small illness, can't you go, why are you bowing and playing ball here, heroic." ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly and said: "Wu Juma, what you said is wrong, isn't Wan'er just a little sick now?" ”
Wu Chongxun couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
Shangguan Wan'er laughed a few words with him, and then straightened her face and said: "Wan'er likes to be quiet, it is really not suitable for too noisy scenes, if it is a poem and a club, Wan'er should go happily." But as soon as he heard that it was a huge feast scene, he avoided it. Besides, Wan'er is a minister after all, and there are many inconveniences, and I hope that Wu Juma will understand. ”
Wu Chongxun said with a smile: "Shangguan is polite, Wu Mou'an dares to blame?" Can the injuries to be made serious? Would you like to ask a healer to take a look? ”
Shangguan Wan'er smiled lightly and said, "No need, it's just that I sprained my waist, wait for me to go back and apply some activating ointment, and then let Xiao Miao massage it for me." Xiao Miao's massage is learned from Liang Dadao's hand of the Taiyi Department, and the technique is not under the four masseurs of the Taiyi Department, even the saint likes to let her massage to help her sleep. ”
When the two of them talked, Li Bao'er stood aside and didn't say a word, she tried to find something suspicious, but she took Wan'er. I really can't find the slightest mistake. Not only is her appearance not at all different from Shangguan Wan'er, but even her voice is unmistakable.
At this moment, she was sitting on the couch, because she was wearing a Hu-style riding uniform, her toned and graceful body was unobstructed, and her small waist was thin. How can there be a little bit of a pregnant woman.
An Le also has one such oil car, so she knows the structure of this car very well. This kind of oil cleaning truck used in summer. On the left and right sides and behind is a thin layer of compartment boards, that is, the couches under Shangguan Wan'er's buttocks are not box-type, but hollow wooden boards, where is there a place for Tibetans.
Of course, Anle's focus was on Wan'er, and he didn't look at the car too much. Because she never thought about stealing beams and changing pillars and finding someone exactly like Shangguan Wan'er? It's not that easy.
Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Chongxun exchanged a few polite words, and took the initiative to return to the topic: "The princess and the concubine didn't have a banquet with all the guests and friends in Daxingyuan, but what did they do when they came to this island in the middle of the lake with great fanfare?" ”
Li Bao'er stared at Du Wentian, who was stunned, fiercely. Stubbornly stepped forward and said: "To be systematized, the palace today in the Daxing Yuan Biyou Palace to set up a banquet to entertain guests, who expected to be happy and sad, Biyou Palace suddenly caught fire, the rescue was not in time, and now the entire Biyou Palace has been destroyed." ”
"What?"
Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback, Li Bao'er saw it clearly, Shangguan Wan'er was startled, and subconsciously wanted to stand up, but as soon as her hips were raised, her back injury was affected, so she sat down again with a sigh and said nervously: "The princess said that Biyou Palace was burned down?" The entire Biyou Palace was ruined? ”
Seeing this appearance, Li Bao'er had absolutely no problem with Shangguan Wan'er in her heart, and she was annoyed and hated by Du Wen's innocence in her heart, so she had to reluctantly answer: "Yes!" Now the prison supervisors of the forbidden garden and the pit cooks hired that day have their own words, the court supervisor said that it was because of the fire scattered under the stove that caused a big disaster, and the pit cooks said that it was because the inner supervisor took care of him and accidentally burned down the palace. The stakes are very important, An Le did not dare to be arbitrary, so he had to come to ask to see Shangguan to be systematized, and now all parts of the palace are managed by Shangguan to be systematized, and please wait for the system to judge this public case. ”
Shangguan Wan'er sighed and said, "Biyou Palace is on fire, and no one wants to see it." Now that the palace has been burned down, the princess should not think so much, Wan'er will report this matter to the saint, the saint has always been merciful, and he will definitely be light. It's just that the cause of the fire still needs to be investigated and the responsibility should be clearly distinguished. Wan'er sprained her waist, it's not appropriate to rush to the fire now, besides, Wan'er is not good at this kind of thing, as far as I know, the prisons of the Forbidden Garden are under the jurisdiction of Sinong Temple, right? ”
Luo Shanqian, the supervisor of the Forbidden Garden, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes, all the prisons of the Forbidden Garden belong to Sinong Temple. ”
Shangguan Wan'er nodded and said, "Okay!" Then let Sinong Temple come forward to explore the fire site and find out the cause. Since this matter also involves external hiring, in order to seek justice and ......, is there anyone in the Criminal Department and Luoyang Mansion? ”
Chen Dong and Liu Yitian immediately stepped forward and arched their hands: "I've seen Shangguan waiting to be controlled." ”
Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head and said: "There are officials from the Ministry of Labor and Punishment, Luoyang Mansion and Sinong Temple to jointly investigate the fire site, find out the original situation, and clarify the responsibility. ”
The two hurriedly agreed.
Du Wentian stood in the crowd, almost unable to believe his eyes, he recognized Wan'er sitting in the car, it was indeed the woman he saw in Sinong Temple that day, but why was her stomach gone? Du Wentian walked closer and closer, wanting to see it again.
Yang Fan had been staring at him, and then quietly glanced at the tree seedling in riding clothes, and the tree seedling suddenly jumped out, and suddenly realized: "Huh? Isn't this the disciple who boldly teased me in the Xingjiao Temple? ”
Du Wentian was taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to dare to break the matter by himself, and before he could react, Shu Xiaomiao had already said angrily: "You escaped fast that day, look where you are fleeing today, sisters, beat him!" ”
Lan Yiqing, Gao Ying and other women picked up the bow cane in their hands, split their heads and covered their faces, Du Wentian still needs to explain, where did the women give him a chance, this beating, Du Wentian's head was bleeding, holding his head and running away, those women did not give up, and chased and killed all the way.
Only then did the onlookers understand that it was no wonder that Zhang Changzong would fight when he saw Du Wentian in Daxingyuan, and he wondered where he came from with this kind of chivalrous and righteous mind, and he dared to be affectionate because he had a deep friendship with Shangguan to be controlled, Du Wentian couldn't open his eyes, and he teased the people around Shangguan to be controlled, so he was beaten.
Shangguan Wan'er's face sank, and she asked Wu Chongxun, "Wu Juma, who is that person?" ”
At this time, Du Wentian had already fled up the high slope with his head in his hands, and was hit in both legs by Gao Ying's cane, and rolled down with a painful cry. Du Wentian's low character and flirting with women was originally nothing to do with Wu Chongxun, but he was also Wu Chongxun's guest today, not to mention that Wu Chongxun lived in his mansion, so he didn't feel that face mattered.
Wu Chongxun awkwardly explained Du Wentian's identity, and Shangguan Wan'er said lightly: "Although it is good to make friends with a horse, it is better to distance yourself from such a villain with low character." Wan'er was injured and wanted to go back to the house to rest, so I won't send you away. ”
Everyone was just here to testify, originally they felt that Li Bao'er was making a bit of a fuss, and they were very disapproving, but now Wan'er has made measures to deal with it, and because they saw the disciple who was molesting the maid beside her, they were displeased, and everyone was still here to find themselves unhappy, so they immediately said goodbye and left.
Many of these people have a relationship with Yang Fan, Zhang Changzong does not send anyone to his identity, but Yang Fan wants to send one, he sent everyone to the intersection of the outlying islands before returning, Yang Fan did not return to his mansion, and went directly to Wan'er's residence, this time he was under the guise of inquiring about the injury, so he could naturally enter the house publicly.
Yang Fan came to the back house, and as soon as he walked out of the bamboo forest, he saw Zhang Changzong hit him head-on, Yang Fan hurriedly held him up, and said with a smile: "Why is Liulang always panicking?" ”
Zhang Changzong panted and said: "It's broken, it's broken, Shangguan waits for the system, and this toss seems to have moved the fetus...... She...... She's about to give birth......"
