Chapter 340 Qiqin The winter in Jinling was no warmer than that in the capital. The cold wind penetrated his collar, making Ayi shiver. "Why is it so cold today?" Ayi's upper and lower teeth collided together and chattered. Azhong couldn't help but shrink his neck, his body swayed unnaturally from side to side, and his voice trembled when he spoke: "It's so cold." But all those who work as chamberlains come from poor families. As long as they can fill their stomachs, who is willing to castrate their sons? When A Yi and A Zhong were young, they were so poor that they couldn't even wear cotton-padded clothes, so they had to stuff their clothes with reed catkins all winter long. They were very cold at that time, but not as cold as now. They have a sign from the palace, and no one can stop them from leaving the city even at night. After finally getting out of the city, Ayi was so cold that he couldn't even hold the riding whip. Ah Zhong wanted to help him, but his hands were frozen and he couldn't catch the whip. Without the riding whip, the mule walked slowly. The two wanted to shout loudly, but their mouths were opened wide, and when they came out, they sounded like mosquitoes.
The two wanted to get out of the car and make a fire to warm themselves. Only then did they realize that their bodies were frozen. The mule cart was not high, but they could not jump off. The two of them were suddenly afraid! How is this going? The mule didn't know what was happening and kept walking forward without hesitation. The drivers were stunned. They suddenly realized that maybe the weather was not that cold, and maybe there was another reason for their coldness. But they realized too late that the mule cart had already left the outer city and headed into darkness. There was a mass grave there, and they had already visited it during the day. It was inconvenient to arrest people from the palace during the day, but they didn't have to worry about it at night. As long as they pulled the people over and buried them, the job assigned by their godfather would be completed. But what's going on now? Did they suddenly become ill? The mass graves were not far away. For the first time in their lives, Ah Yi and Ah Zhong were afraid of ghosts. The ghosts from the mass grave must have been looking for a substitute, and unfortunately, they were targeted. The two men wanted the mule to go back, but they couldn't even move a finger. In addition to the two living people on the mule cart, there were also two people wrapped in quilts and tied into rice dumplings. Suddenly, one of the rice dumplings moved. A Yi and A Zhong did not look back, nor did they see it. The rice dumpling moved a few times, and then a hand stretched out from the quilt, and a cold light flashed between the fingers. Then, the rope was cut, and the person inside came out. She looked at the two guys in front of her who were frozen into fools, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile with unknown meaning. She picked up the other rice dumpling beside her, jumped out of the mule cart like a civet cat, and disappeared into the darkness. Early the next morning, someone saw a mule cart more than a hundred miles away. There was a stream there. The mules were drinking water. There were two people lying on the mule cart.
The person is not dead, he is still alive, but he cannot speak or move, and even his eyes are frozen. Although the man is half dead, the car is a good car and very strong, and the mule is also a good mule. It is smooth and smooth, and it can be said that it is powerful at first glance. The mule cart and mules were taken away, and the two men were thrown into the stream. The gurgling stream washed them, as if to wash away the sins on their bodies. When Jin Yiwei's people found A Yi and A Zhong, they were already dead. Rigorous experience is not rich, so there is no need to call him Zuo. After looking at it, he knew that the two of them had drowned. They lay motionless in the stream, it would be strange if they didn't drown. But why are they lying in the stream? take things too hard? Want to commit suicide? Can you die in a different way? I don't believe they will commit suicide. These two people were thrown here. Jin Yiwei quickly found out that in a nearby village, a villager suddenly had a mule cart in his house. After arresting the person and questioning them, they learned that the mule cart and mules had been picked up, and no one was seen on the cart. Of course Yan Mi didn't believe it, but that villager wasn't stupid either. He insisted that he only saw mule carts and mules, but no people. In the end, the case was dropped. As for the master and servant of Tang Meiren who were taken out by A Zhong and A Yi, even Eunuch Xia who gave the orders did not pay attention. He must have been taken outside the city by Azhong and Ayi and sold alive. Why do Azhong and Ayi die? Do you still need to ask? They must have gotten dirt on the mass graves when they went to bury the two women alive. No one mentioned this matter again, not even Ah Zhong and A Yi, as if they had never appeared in the palace. But Po still remembers them. Before Po became a chamberlain, his life at home was not good. His biological father died, and his biological mother took him to remarry. His stepfather had three brothers in his family. They bullied him every day and beat him to death at every turn. But his mother never protected him. Whenever his stepfather and brothers beat him, his mother would scold him loudly and scold him for being ignorant, which made his father and brothers angry. His mother's voice was very loud, and she was afraid that if her voice was too low, she would not be able to please her stepfather. Later, he couldn't live in that home anymore, so he ran out secretly. His mother caught up with him, and he thought that her mother finally felt sorry for him, but her mother took him to the countryside to buy the servant's teeth and exchanged them for ten taels of silver. But A Bao's suffering disappeared after entering the palace. Eunuch Xia recognized him as his godson, and both Eunuch Xia and his godbrothers treated him well.
They would not beat or scold him, and they would give him delicious food if they had it. Ah Bao really regards Ah Zhong and Ah Yi as brothers. He asked Eunuch Xia: "Why did Brother Zhong and Brother Yi die? Why did they die outside the palace?" Eunuch Xia glared at him: "What a loyal brother and a righteous brother, don't mention it again in the future, otherwise I won't give you food!" Abao didn't understand, so he didn't dare to ask again, squatting alone at the base of the wall and wiping his tears. Qingxing came over, knelt down and handed him a clean handkerchief. Abao wiped his tears and asked Qingxing: "Why didn't my godfather let me mention my loyal brother and my righteous brother? Obviously my godfather valued them the most. They must have worked for his godfather when they left the palace, but they died. My godfather won’t let me mention them, why?” Qingxing was startled. That night she saw Azhong and Ayi taking away Tang Meiren's master and servant. Are they dead? "Let's go to our place and I'll treat you to red bean cake." A Bao followed Qing Xing and met Qiao Meiren. Not only did he eat delicious red bean cake, he also got two taels of silver. The affair between A Zhong and A Yi was not spread in the harem, but A Bao knew about it. He told Meiren Qiao: "Jinyiwei went to investigate, but nothing was found except that they drowned." A Bao cried a lot and told Beauty Qiao these things. After eating two plates of red bean cakes, his mood improved. He took the money and left happily. However, Beauty Qiao could not calm down for a long time. She had an intuition that Tang Mei and Bi Tao were not dead, they were still alive! Every day after that, Beauty Qiao was thinking about the same question. Who is Bitao? It was not until Bi Tao disappeared that Qiao Mei discovered something. She knew Tang Meiren, but she didn't know Bitao. Bitao never told anything about herself, such as where she was from and how she was sold. Bitao never said anything. Unlike Qing Xing, she told Bitao about all her relatives who had gone through countless twists and turns. Qiao Meiren secretly thought: No matter who Bi Tao is, she will not be someone that people like the Tang family can buy casually. Maybe, this green peach was bought by the Tang family on purpose. What is her purpose? Enter the palace! Beauty Qiao was startled. If she entered the palace, she was coming to the emperor. Did she want to assassinate the emperor? But Bitao left without completing the task. Why don't you kill the emperor before leaving? There is no rule of living death in this dynasty. When the emperor dies, they who have no children will be sent to the temple to practice. From then on, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng will live this miserable life. Beauty Qiao thought that would be better than being in the palace. At this moment, Bitao was kneeling in the courtyard with her neck curled up, like a child who had made a mistake.
He Hua came over and wanted to put a thick blanket under her knees. Bi Tao knelt still, so the blanket couldn't fit in. He Hua was so angry that she poked her forehead with her finger: "Why are you so stubborn, you are a donkey? It's freezing cold, the ground is so cold, you don't want your legs anymore? Hurry up, be obedient, and put on the pads ” Bitao still didn't move. Xiu Gu walked to the corridor and saw Bi Tao, who was shrinking her neck like a quail, and cursed: "Let her kneel down. She will not be allowed in until she kneels for two hours!" He Hua said: "How old is she? She has been kneeling like this for two hours. What should she do if something goes wrong?" Xiu Gu glanced at the thick blanket in He Hua's hand: "Put it on her!" Xiugu spoke, and Bi Tao finally let He Hua spread the blanket on the ground. Xiu Gu glanced at her, turned around and entered the house. In the room, an old nun raised his head, and Xiu Gu asked, "How are you doing? Why do you keep falling asleep?" The old nun said: "This child was injured, but he's almost healed, right here." Lao Ni pointed at his head: "Ask the children outside if she has been dazed for a while, and if she is sometimes awake and sometimes sleepy." Xiugu went out, came in after a while, and nodded to the old nun. The old nun sighed: "This is a mental illness. Let her take care of her. Don't irritate her. Alas, the poor child can escape from the wolf's den because of the blessing of Bodhisattva." Xiu Gu rolled her eyelids: "It was obviously the girl outside who rescued her, what kind of Bodhisattva?" Before she could say the next words, she was interrupted by Lao Ni: "Shut up!" Xiugu turned away and ignored her. The old nun didn't tolerate her, and said: "Let me tell you, that girl outside is so brave and loyal, you can't embarrass her. Besides, aren't you also planning to save people?" Xiugu: "I will send people into the palace to rescue people. Did you hear me? I said sending people, not sending her. It is not easy for her to lurk in the palace. It's good now. She is so heroic and loyal. There are few people in the palace." Got a nail.” The old nun spat: "You old man, you pretend to be confused all day long. You are the only smart one in the whole He family army. Think about it with your granite head. This Tang girl is her master." , Tang Yatou is dead, can she still be a thorn in the palace? Didn't you hear her say that the Dog Emperor wanted to kill both of them together? She saves others and saves herself at the same time. There is no rule against He Jiajun not being able to save himself. Even though they all ran away, they were killed without any resistance. Who are you trying to impress by putting yourself here? There is a disease in the brain, a serious illness! " Xiugu snorted: "You are still a monk, what are you talking about?" Lao Ni sneered: "I am willing, you have nothing to do with it!" Xiu Gu turned around and went out. After a while, He Hua walked in holding the limping Bitao. Bi Tao came in and kowtowed on the ground. When the old nun saw this, he let out a sigh: "Oh, I don't know. You old guy also added some rules. Did the boss ask you to kneel down and kowtow to her? Who do you think you are? You dare to let these little ones kneel down and kowtow to you. If you can, you can give birth to a bunch of children and kowtow to you at home every day. " Bi Tao was at a loss and didn't know whether to kowtow or not. He Hua saw her, grabbed her up, and said to the old nun with a smile: "Oh, Master Qiqin still knows how to care for people. I know a place that makes vegetarian dishes very well. I will order some dishes right away. Give it a try."
The old man smiled and said: "Go ahead, go ahead, I want to eat vegetarian duck." He Hua quickly pulled Bitao out with her. This old nun was Qiqin among the sisters who went south with Xiu Gu. Fifty years ago, Qiqin reduced Suzhou Ruyi Temple to ashes during the war. The abbot of Ruyi Temple, Master Tai, was over seventy years old. Although all the nuns and monks in the temple saved their lives, seeing the temple destroyed before his eyes, Master Tai was shocked and died. Qiqin made an oath in front of the Bodhisattva that she would rebuild Ruyi Temple after the world was pacified. It's just that Qiqin thought too simply. She didn't expect that the cost of building a temple would be far more than building a Jinghong Tower. Later, the temple was finally built. Qiqin felt that it would be a big loss if she did not use the temple she had finally built to live in. She happened to keep losing her hair, which upset her, so she simply shaved it off. Although she had her hair shaved, she had no scars, so Qiqin usually wore a monk's hat. There are currently thirty-eight bhikshunis in Ruyi Temple, plus her fake one, for a total of thirty-nine. Not long ago, Qiqin learned from Baidie that Xiugu not only came to Beijing, but also played cards with Li Jinxiu. These two bitter enemies actually played cards together? Qiqin was curious, so she came to Jinling from Suzhou. Unexpectedly, she encountered something like this when she arrived. A small nail in the palace actually stole the emperor's woman. Qiqin was filled with emotion. Last time a nail abducted an emperor, and this time another nail stole a concubine. The two nails are both teenagers. I heard that the new boss is also a young man. Ouch, Qiqin suddenly wants to return to secular life. She told Xiu Gu what she thought. Xiu Gu suddenly found an opportunity to retaliate: "Bah, you're a fake nun, you still have the nerve to return to secular life, you're just a big layman!" Qiqin rolled her eyes at her: "I'm really worried about leaving this Tang girl here. Why don't you give her to me? I also want the little girl named Bitao." "Dream! Bitao is a nail, a nail in the palace. No one except the head master can try to take her away, especially you, a fake nun!"
