The Wei Yuan calm picking up memorial to the emperor, launches reading, the pupil contracts quickly. 魏渊沉稳的捡起奏折,展开阅览,瞳孔倏地收缩。 He without delay, kneels shouts loudly: „Feudal official heinous crime, disappointed your majesty trust, the feudal official only strove for dying.” 他二话不说,跪地高呼:“臣罪该万死,辜负了陛下的信任,臣只求一死。” Wei Yuan this stance, instead let prepare to stand to criticize, requesting Yuanjing Emperor to cut this liao Supervising Secretaries, does not know how should open the mouth. 魏渊这副姿态,反而让准备站出来攻讦,要求元景帝斩了此獠的给事中们,不知道该如何开口了。 Yuanjing Emperor sneers: „You are actually honest, Wei Yuan, today you, if quibbled, We infiltrated Heavenly Prison you.” 元景帝冷笑一声:“你倒是坦诚,魏渊,今日你若狡辩,朕就将你打入天牢。” Wei Yuan lowers the head, did not speak. 魏渊低着头,不说话。 Yuanjing Emperor cold -ly snorted and said: „Reported your, was Golden Gong Zhu Yang of Nightwatcher yamen.” 元景帝冷哼道:“举报你的,正是打更人衙门的金锣朱阳。” Wei Yuan has not spoken as before. 魏渊依旧没有说话。 In that memorial to the emperor, wrote Nightwatcher from Golden Gong to some evidence that Silver Gong took bribes and perverted justice in the past few years, some are the evidence conclusive matters, some slander purely. 那份奏折里,写了打更人从金锣到银锣近几年来贪赃枉法的一些罪证,有些是证据确凿之事,有些纯粹是污蔑。 Naturally also includes one to enter Copper Gong of duty is also one of them newly, the charge is big, short amasses money in January/one month several thousand taels of silver using the duty, daily lingers Music Office, rests Queen of Flowers. 当然也包括一位新入职的铜锣也在其中,罪名还不小,短短一月利用职务敛财数千两白银,日日流连教坊司,睡花魁。 At this time, Ministry of Justice Chief Supervising Secretary left ranks, said: „Your majesty, Nightwatcher exploits power, violates the law knowingly, the feudal official proposed, cuts Wei Yuan, to shock Nightwatcher, eliminates unhealthy trend.” 这时,刑部的一位都给事中出列,道:“陛下,打更人以权谋私,知法犯法,臣提议,斩魏渊,以震慑打更人,肃清歪风邪气。” Immediately, several ministers second the motion. 当即,有几位大臣附议。 Yuanjing Emperor looked at the eye Wei Yuan that acknowledged guilt to submit to punishment, the sinking sound said: „This case hands over by Ministry of Justice Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and prefecture yamen processes jointly, within three days, We want the result.” 元景帝看了眼认罪伏法的魏渊,沉声道:“此案交由刑部大理寺卿、府衙联手处理,三天之内,朕要结果。” The conference ended. 会议结束。 Nangong Qianrou complexion gloomy following in Wei Yuan behind, has not walked several steps, hearing back some people to shout propaganda: „Duke Wei hold your steps.” 南宫倩柔脸色阴沉的跟在魏渊身后,没走几步,听见后边有人喊话:“魏公留步。” The father and son settle down to look back, what pursues is Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, he puts on to embroider the cloud wild goose red robe, the upper fourth grade high-ranking official. 父子俩驻足回首,追上来的是大理寺卿,他穿着绣云雁绯袍,正四品大员。 Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is like Capital Prefecture Governor, being the position is not too high, official but who the hand grasps the enormous power, the weight/quantity is weighty. 大理寺卿和京兆府尹一样,属于职位不算太高,但手握极大权力的官员,分量非常重。 In capital, a position and right to speak of official, always do not look at the grade, but looked in the hand has the big power. 在京城,一个官员的地位、话语权,从来都不是看品级,而是看手中有多大的权力。 meritorious noble also exceeds the grade, was not pushed to the power stage edge. 勋贵还超越品级呢,不也被挤到权力舞台边缘了。 This is gray-haired, thin but distinctive-looking old person, cups the hands with a laugh: „this official wants to understand to Duke Wei in these lists the details of important criminal.” 这位头发花白,面容清癯的老人,笑呵呵的拱手:“本官想向魏公了解一下那些名单上要犯的详情。” Nod of Wei Yuan non- good omen anger: „Then will make one deliver Court of Judicial Review.” 魏渊不见喜怒的点点头:“回头会让人送一份大理寺。” Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review satisfied nodding the head, being all smiles said: „The incident, this official looks at Golden Gong Zhu is being a talent, upright, wants to adjust Court of Judicial Review him. this official will report later is bright your majesty, first comes and Duke Wei greets.” 大理寺卿满意的颔首,笑容满面的说:“还有一事,本官瞧着朱金锣是个人才,刚直不阿,想把他调到大理寺。本官稍后会禀明陛下,先来和魏公打声招呼。” Seeing Wei Yuan is still tranquil, Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review proceeded several steps, said: „Duke Wei knows that this official wants anything.” 见魏渊依旧平静,大理寺卿往前走了几步,道:“魏公知道本官想要什么。” Wei Yuan smiled, „trades does not owe.” 魏渊笑了起来,“换的不亏。” Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review complexion gloomy is looking at the Wei Yuan back. 大理寺卿脸色阴沉的望着魏渊的背影。 Returns to the carriage, Nangong Qianrou drives to go toward the direction line of Nightwatcher yamen, in the compartment, Wei Yuan rubbed the forehead, long sighed: 返回马车,南宫倩柔驾车往打更人衙门的方向行去,车厢里,魏渊揉了揉眉心,长叹道: „Drilled, drilled ....” “打眼了,打眼了....” Nangong Qianrou sneers saying: „Adoptive father, you knew perfectly well that he possibly has the disloyalty, is bent on having to think of the former friendship. But is good, you did not suffer heavy casualties are so simple.” 南宫倩柔冷笑道:“义父,你明知他可能有异心,偏要念着旧情。这下可好,您可不是损兵折将这么简单了。” In Nightwatcher yamen, except that Li Yuchun is like this stubborn, again is Yang Yan this mechanical martial idiot, is not interested in the beauty and wealth. 打更人衙门里,除了李玉春这样死心眼的,再就是杨砚这种刻板的武痴,对美色和钱财不感兴趣。 Like Nangong Qianrou such paranoia, likes soaking again all day in the dungeon tosses about those facing the death penalty, silver does not love, woman .... Having me is attractive? 再就像南宫倩柔这样的偏执狂,喜欢整天泡在地牢里折腾死刑犯,银子不爱,女人....有我漂亮吗？ „Must kill him.” Nangong Qianrou said bitterly. “要不要杀了他。”南宫倩柔恨恨道。 „Doing accounts to wait till after autumn.” Wei Yuan tranquil reply. “算账要等到秋后。”魏渊平静的回复。 Does not have the words, Nangong Qianrou drives to pass through the rural fair, entered the secluded street, continued: „Although this matter not because of that boy, but he is introduction, the adoptive father you were avoidable. That is boy worth the adoptive father so regarding as important?” 一路无话,南宫倩柔驾车穿过集市,进了僻静的街道,继续说:“虽然此事不是因为那小子,但他是个引子,义父你原本可以避免的。那小子值得义父如此看重？” „Golden Gong has, then the interesting person only has one, I anticipate his growth very much.” Wei Yuan chuckle, shifting to a new subject: “金锣有很多,那么有趣的人只有一个,我很期待他的成长。”魏渊轻笑着,话锋一转: „Our your majesty, will not feel relieved looks at me to do in a big way.” “咱们这个陛下啊,是不会放心看我做大的。” Time at this point, Wei Yuan had a dreariness finally. 说到这里的时候,魏渊终于有了一丝阴郁。 „Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review wants to use that list a moment ago, trades the confidential letter in adoptive father hand, why the adoptive father rejects?” Nangong Qianrou asked. “大理寺卿刚才想用那份名单,换义父手中的密信,义父为什么拒绝？”南宫倩柔问道。 He knows adoptive father finally that „words does not owe”, did not comply with the exchange of Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, but is decided that endures suffering replaces Golden Gong Silver Gongs, mutually wounded. 他知道义父最后那句“话的不亏”,不是答应了大理寺卿的交换,而是决定忍痛将金锣银锣们换掉,两败俱伤。 Replied that his is silent. 回答他的是沉默。 This year is really eventful time, no, each time official evaluation is one time greatly turbulent. The secondary roles that the adoptive father trains with great difficulty, this must have a fracture .... Nangong Qianrou sighed. 今年真是多事之秋,不,每次京察都是一次大动荡。义父好不容易培养出来的班底,这回少不得伤筋动骨....南宫倩柔叹息一声。 official evaluation will have the victor each time, Wang Clique is on official evaluation rises. But is a little inevitable, was official evaluation finished, all parties will lose seriously. The winners are also the hard victories. 每次京察都会有胜利者,王党就是上一届京察中崛起的。但有一点不可避免,就是京察结束,所有党派都会损失惨重。胜者也是惨胜。 „Returned to the yamen, you look for Xu Qi'an, making him hide for several days, I will think the means to pick him.” “回了衙门,你去找许七安,让他躲几天,我会想办法把他摘出去。” „Yes.” Nangong Qianrou sour nod. “是。”南宫倩柔酸溜溜的点头。 ...... ...... Dusk, the conclusion looked at Xu Qi'an of room early, spent for one hour to accompany Chu Caiwei to take a walk, saw delicious what buys anything. 黄昏,早早结束看房的许七安,花了一个小时陪褚采薇逛街,看见什么好吃的就买什么。 The big eye beautiful woman is full of enthusiasm, played is very happy, on the face is always hanging the delightful smile. 大眼睛美人兴致勃勃,玩的很开心,脸上始终挂着甜美的笑容。 Window-shops really the ratio to fight also tired, this type tired is not on the body, is spiritually .... Xu Qi'an puts out the one breath, so long as coaxes the happy this woman, is more tired is also worth. 逛街果然比打架还累,这种累不是身体上的,是精神上的....许七安吐出一口气,只要哄开心这个女人,累一些也是值得的。 previous life has listened to a few words, the way of coaxing the girl has 70 types, one type is the shopping, what remaining is 69. 上辈子听过一句话,哄女孩子的方式有70种,一种是购物,剩下的是69。 Latter Xu Qi'an is unable to display, is not naturally able to confirm, but window-shops the shopping effect indeed good. 后者许七安无法施展,自然无从验证,但逛街购物效果的确不错。 Entered Osmanthus Moon Building, in point one table of value five taels of silver sumptuous dinners, Xu Qi'an, for does not lose money, lets loose the belly and Chu Caiwei contends. 进了桂月楼,点上一桌价值五两银子的丰盛晚餐,许七安为了不亏本,放开肚皮和褚采薇一决雌雄。 At this time, the feeling of palpitation transmitted. 这时,心悸的感觉传来。 The stopping feed that he maintains composure, takes out the jade small mirror, examines the information. 他不动声色的停下进食,取出玉石小镜,查看信息。 【One: The Nightwatcher yamen had an accident, Golden Gong Zhu Yang reported Wei Yuan to take bribes and pervert justice, this case related to four Golden Gong, 12 Silver Gong and 30 Copper Gong. Jointly are processed by prefecture yamen, Ministry of Justice and Court of Judicial Review. This means Wei Yuan will soon fall into disfavor, falls from power during official evaluation?】 【一:打更人衙门出事了,金锣朱阳举报魏渊贪赃枉法,此案涉及四位金锣、十二位银锣和三十名铜锣。由府衙、刑部、大理寺共同处理。这是不是意味着魏渊即将失宠,在京察期间倒台？】 Zhu Yang worked as traitor .... The report involves so many people .... Xu Qi'an is staring at the writing information of mirror surface, raises the difficult situation at heart. 朱阳当了二五仔....举报信牵连这么多人....许七安凝视着镜面的文字信息,心里掀起惊涛骇浪。 These days, the capital partisan struggle is like a raging fire, has the victory and defeat respectively. Because Xu Qi'an the grade is insufficient, usually treats as the spare time the subject, listens not to care. 这段时间,京城党派斗争如火如荼,各有胜负。许七安因为段位不够,平时当做茶余饭后的谈资,听过就没在意。 Thinks that the special localization of Nightwatcher, can stabilize the navigation in this disturbance, will not engage in factional strife, but it seems like he to the court situation, insufficiently knew about the factional strife. 原以为打更人的特殊定位,能够在这场风波里稳定航行,不会受到倾轧,但看来他对朝堂局势,对党争还是不够了解。 „Zhu Yang as Golden Gong, in the hand is definitely grasping many Nightwatcher black materials, now suddenly rebels, Nightwatcher estimated that must have a fracture.” “朱阳身为金锣,手里肯定握着许多打更人的黑料,现在突然反叛,打更人估计得伤筋动骨了。” „Expected words, definitely because of my reason, heard that Silver Gong Zhu by that knife wound the internal organs, was dropped the old ailment, in the future Martial Dao is hopeless. But I not only the safe/without matter, is instead promoted raises in salary.” “不出所料的话,肯定是因为我的缘故,听说朱银锣被那一刀伤了脏腑,落下病根,将来武道无望。而我非但无事,反而升职加薪。” „.... If truly, I am Yuanjing Emperor, my looks at Wei Yuan will definitely not sit in a big way, from the tax silver case to the Mulberry Lake case, to these days struggle, the civil official groups dog brain hit again, meritorious noble approximately kept complete, but this was the power that because in others hands had was insufficient, has not ripped the energy that compelled.” “....确实,如果我是元景帝,我肯定不会看着魏渊坐大,从税银案到桑泊案,再到这段时间的斗争,文官集团们狗脑子都打出来了,勋贵大致保持完好,可这是因为人家手里掌握的权力不够,没有撕逼的底气。” „Wei Yuan has said with me, now above the current dynasty, Wang Clique and Nightwatcher influence is strongest. At the present Wang Clique suffers heavy casualties. The eunuch clique of Wei Yuan representative, must certainly do to weaken.” “魏渊与我说过,如今当朝之上,王党和打更人势力最强。而今王党损兵折将。魏渊代表的阉党,肯定要做削弱了。” „My small Copper Gong should .... Damn, Zhu Yang will let off me to be strange.” “我一个小铜锣应该....该死,朱阳会放过我才怪。” The Xu Qi'an thought glitters, once toward for Fourth message of officer: 【 Takes bribes and perverts justice is only the surface by the head, must say takes bribes and perverts justice, Nightwatcher has Wei Yuan to manage, where has the beast in human clothing table manners on court to be ugly? 许七安念头闪烁间,曾经在朝为官的四号传书了:【贪赃枉法只是表面由头而已,要说贪赃枉法,打更人有魏渊管着,哪有朝堂上的衣冠禽兽们吃相难看？ 【Yuanjing Emperor takes this opportunity, suppresses some Wei Yuan.】 【元景帝不过借这个机会,打压一些魏渊而已。】 Fourth worthily is the government old person, is outside the thousand li (500 km), analysis profound ..... this and I think similar ....? Couldn't have completely understood such simple truth by the First grade? Actually asked that stupid question... the Xu Qi'an infed information: 四号不愧是官场老人,身在千里之外,分析的入木三分.....这和我想的差不多....诶？以一号的段位难道还看不透这么简单的道理？竟然问那么愚蠢的问题...许七安输入信息: 【If the meaning of Yuanjing Emperor, that Wei Yuan was also helpless? How must discard these subordinates.】 【如果是元景帝的意思,那魏渊也无能为力了吧？怎么都得舍弃这些下属了。】 【Four: Hehe, this must look at Yuanjing Emperor and Wei Yuan attitude, is only the greedy for bribes words, punishing the result will not be big, but one group of people will definitely be expelled the yamen.】 【四:呵呵,这得看元景帝和魏渊的态度,只是贪赃的话,处罚结果不会太大,但肯定会有一批人被逐出衙门。】 The dual-stipulation... Xu Qi'an worried the oneself future suddenly. 双规是吗...许七安忽然忧心自己的前程了。 „You write to draw anything to the mirror.” Chu Caiwei is eating sauce pig's feet. “你对着镜子写写画画些什么呢。”褚采薇吃着酱猪蹄子。 Therefore the women are big pig's feet .... Xu Qi'an received the mirror, said: „All right, finished eating the food, we have a look at that ghost dwelling.” 所以说女人都是大猪蹄子....许七安收了镜子,道:“没事,吃完饭,我们去看看那鬼宅。” No matter what, first house buying, having one set of real estate is more important than anything. 不管怎么样,先把宅子给买了,拥有一套不动产比什么都重要。 prefecture yamen Prefecture Governor Chen relates well with me .... If I really in the list, enter prefecture yamen not to fear actually, feared falls into the Ministry of Justice prison .... I have not definitely embezzled, but fact how unimportant .... Really is not good vanishes for several days, tomorrow morning asks how Wei Yuan arranges. 府衙的陈府尹与我关系不错....如果我真的在名单中,进府衙倒是不怕,就怕落入刑部大牢....我肯定没有贪污,但事实如何不重要....实在不行就消失几天,明早问问魏渊怎么安排。 Leaves Osmanthus Moon Building, Xu Qi'an gives Chu Caiwei the jade small mirror: „Helps me take care for several days.” 离开桂月楼,许七安把玉石小镜递给褚采薇:“帮我保管几天。” „Oh.” Chu Caiwei received, forces in left waist the deerskin packet conveniently. “噢。”褚采薇接过,顺手塞进左腰的鹿皮小包。 After the darkness, arrives at that ghost dwelling, two people circumvent. 天黑之后,来到那座鬼宅,两人翻墙进去。 „Now can tell me? Why wants to come in the evening?” “现在可以告诉我了吧？为什么要晚上过来？” In the bleak waste dwelling is reverberating two people sound of footsteps, tonight is calm, deep winter in does not have the insect cry, silent fearfulness. 荒凉的废宅里回荡着两人的脚步声,今夜无风,隆冬里没有虫鸣,寂静的可怕。 In Chu Caiwei takes candied fruit, the voice is clear: „ in the daytime yang qi is abundant, ghostess in well will not appear. Must eliminate her, then must wait for her to come out. 褚采薇手里拿着一根糖葫芦,嗓音清脆:“白日里阳气充沛,井里的女鬼不会出现。要清除她,便要等她出来。 „Moreover, I suspected that the bottom of the well has the strangeness, later planned looks.” “另外,我怀疑井底有古怪,待会儿打算下去看一看。” Gets down to look .... Had Xu Qi'an of deep sea phobophobia to instigate immediately, particularly knows that the bottom of the well had the strangeness. 下去看一看....有深海恐惧症的许七安顿时怂了,尤其是知道井底有古怪。 When, the night deeply, Chu Caiwei wondered to say gradually: „Gets down directly, you cannot go.” 等啊等,夜渐渐深了,褚采薇纳闷道:“直接下去吧,你去不去。” „I do not go .... The words, your one person jump into a well I not to feel relieved.” “我不去....的话,你一个人跳井我不放心。” Chu Caiwei nods, is supporting the well edge, pū passed one to jump. 褚采薇点点头,撑着井沿,噗通一声跳了下去。 This silly little girl listens to the ghost story time also very timid ..... Xu Qi'an grasps the coal long blade in the hand, with jumping into a well, the well water is icy cold, he sees front to have one to wipe the bright, is reflecting the yellow skirt girl's lithe body, she sways from side to side the waist in the water, just like flexible mermaid. 这傻妞听鬼故事的时候还很胆小的.....许七安把黑金长刀握在手里,跟着跳井,井水冰凉,他看见前方有一抹亮光,映着黄裙女孩轻盈的身子,她在水里扭动腰肢,宛如灵活的美人鱼。 That wipes the bright is the Eight Trigrams (gossip) plate of her waist. 那抹亮光是她腰间的八卦盘。 Swam for about ten minutes, Xu Qi'an saw Chu Caiwei to stop suddenly, she took off the Eight Trigrams (gossip) plate of waist, probably confronted with anything. 游了十分钟左右,许七安忽然看见褚采薇停了下来,她摘下了腰间的八卦盘,像是与什么东西对峙。 The Xu Qi'an roaming in the past, then gossipped the bright that the plate sends out, seeing the bottom of the well to lie a white clothing female. 许七安游过去,接着八卦盘散发出的亮光,看见井底趴着一个白衣女子。 She seemed to have also detected, slowly raised head to look, that was a covered with blood face, the eyeball hangs in the cheeks, in the pitch-dark eye socket the maggot is wriggling. 她似乎也有所察觉,慢慢仰头看了过来,那是一张血肉模糊的脸,眼球挂在脸颊,黑洞洞的眼眶里蛆虫蠕动着。
