Chapter Eighty-Five: Ambush in the Dead of Night, Go to Meet the Dark Clouds


"I broke into the room just now, and I disturbed the good dreams of this palace, so I have to apologize first" "You" "Second son, do you want this palace to teach you" "You" "Second son, don't swear words, it will ruin the reputation of your Tantai family, although it is just you and this palace now, but the so-called temperament, demeanor and etiquette should always be paid attention to. ”Yaohua interrupted Taiyue again, with a smile in his words, and the tone of the words "two people" was even more prominent intentionally or unintentionally.Tan Taiyue listened, and then looked at the idle posture of the person who was sitting so idly that it almost made people grit their teeth, and with the pictures of being ridiculed and teased just now in his mind, he was almost about to go crazy with anger, this woman was absolutely damned, and he couldn't wait to go forward and slash her, and pointed fiercely with his hand without smiling, "If you want me to apologize, do your dreams." ”As he spoke, Taiyue opened the door and strode out, throwing the door loud and deafening.Yaohua unconsciously laughed out loud, looking at the back of Tan Taiyue who was annoyed and embarrassed and slammed the door and left angrily, and continued to drink her tea, and was in a better mood.After leaving the courtyard gate, Yu Taiyue immediately strode in the direction of the study, but when he was almost halfway there, he suddenly stopped.If this matter is known to Tai Tai Jing, Tan Tai Jing will only become more and more uneasy to use the people in the room at the moment to replace Tan Tai Ya to marry, and it is even very likely that he will regret it and cancel his previous promise, and he really can't find another person to replace him for a while, and the final consequence is likely to lead to his sister Tan Tai Ya really being forced to marry, which is why he chose to hide it last night and did not tell Tan Tai Jing the feeling in his heart about the people in the room at this moment.After thinking about it again and again, Taiyue finally decided not to tell Taijing about it, and turned around in another direction with the anger in her stomach, she had to find a way to subdue the person in the room at the moment as soon as possible, so that she would be obedient.Xiao He, the maidservant outside the door, and several guards who had been guarding the gate of the courtyard, also looked at Tan Tai Yue who was full of anger for a while, and they didn't know what happened after Tan Tai Yue entered the room, and they were surprised.It was night, just like last night, Yaohua went out in person again, unknowingly, without alarming the people guarding the gate of the courtyard and the people in the Tantai Mansion.If the potential Nan Yaoguo's eyeliner has already spotted the mark she left, she will definitely leave a corresponding response at the position a little below the mark, and she only needs to see if there is a response under the mark to know if she has contacted someone.On the streets late at night, the streets are obviously slightly more lively tonight than last night.From a distance, the binocular vision is excellent, and when I just left the Taifu Mansion, I could see at a glance that there were people squatting or lying on the side of the street in the distance in front of me, or at the entrance of some alleys.And because of the distance and light, no matter how good the eyesight is, it is a little difficult to see the specific appearance of those people, but it is not difficult to judge that those people should be beggars.Yaohua continued to walk unhurriedly along last night's route, checking the three marks he had left last night according to the plan he had made when he came out.Since nightfall, they have begun to ambush in the dark part of the street, some of them are terrified, or they keep looking at the street, or they keep an eye on the beggars in the street from time to time, and some of them are almost drowsy, and they don't know if they can wait for the murderous maniac last night.As he walked, he had already seen the beggars on the street from a distance, and naturally quickly noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere on the street tonight, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly hooked his lips.The late-night watchman came out on time to play the watch as usual, but the look on his face and the slight trembling of his body, and the constant glance left and right revealed that he was not quite the same as usual.There was just such a big murder last night, so many beggars died, and each of them died so miserably, he actually said that he didn't want to come out tonight, but the people in the yamen came to the door and ordered him to come out on time, saying that they would ambush and wait in secret, so that he could rest assured that he would catch him on the spot as soon as the murderous demon appeared.He had no choice but to disobey the orders of the people in the yamen, so he had to come out in fear, hoping that the people in the yamen were really in ambush in secret, otherwise he would be miserable.There were officials in ambush in the shadows, and those who were beginning to fall drowsy could barely raise a trace of energy after hearing the sound of the beating.For the red-clothed person who appeared at the end of the street in front of him and walked all the way to this side, whether it was a beggar or a member of the yamen hiding in the shadows, naturally they also noticed it, although due to the distance, they couldn't see her specific face too clearly, but it should be certain that it was a woman, so they didn't pay much attention to it, just because the woman who didn't know where she came out was so ignorant of life and death, and after the death case just happened, she dared to come out alone in the middle of the night.Of course, a few people were also a little curious, and couldn't help but want to wait for the person in red to approach and see what the other party looked like.Early the next morning, there were no fatalities, but the situation seemed to be worse than yesterday.I saw that all the officials who were ambushed last night were hung on the city gate, and each of them hung a white cloth, and there was a word written on each white cloth, these words were just connected into a sentence in order, an extremely arrogant and provocative word, "Just with these wine bags and rice bags, they also want to arrest me, I don't think I can do it, is there no one in the yamen of Nan Yaoguo" In the Tai Mansion, after receiving the news and listening to the people's notice, Tai Yue hurried early in the morning and appeared under the city tower.After seeing the situation on the city tower in person, after reading the words connected on the white cloth, Yutai Yue laughed angrily, the other party was really arrogant.But he would tell him that he was definitely looking for death, digging his own grave, and he would make him pay for his arrogance, and coldly ordered the people next to him: "Okay, put everyone down immediately, clean up the city gates, and go back to the yamen."

In addition, when I go back, I will immediately have someone draft a notebook, which I will read when I go back. ”"Yes."

The person next to him received the order and hurriedly did as Taiyue ordered.Half an hour later, the crowd returned to the yamen.Yu Taiyue stepped forward, sat down directly in front of him, and condescendingly personally interrogated a cadre of officials who were hung on the city tower about the specific situation of last night.A cadre of officials knelt down one after another, all of them were a little unable to speak, and one person said a few words and slowly went down like a relay, intermittently, "Lord Hui, we were originally ready for everything, and we have been patiently ambushing in the dark, and it was calm until late at night, and nothing happened. ”After a slight pause, several people hesitated whether to say it or not, but they never saw the appearance of the woman in red, and how could it be related to her, and when she said it, I was afraid that she would be scolded by Taiyue again and cause trouble for herself, so I couldn't help but choose to ignore it with some tacit understanding, "Later, for some reason, the back of my neck suddenly hurt, as if I was beaten in the back, and I fainted before I had time to look back, and I really can't remember what happened after that."

When I woke up, I was already hanging on the city tower, and my body had been hung with a white cloth, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins. ”Yu Taiyue's complexion did not improve in the slightest, and he turned to the person next to him and asked again: "What about the beggars who have been arranged, bring them all up." ”The beggar who had been bait on the street last night was not voluntary, just like the person who worked late at night, but there was really no other way but to do things with the money given by the officials.As for what happened last night, it was similar to that of a group of officials, it was a sudden pain in the back of the neck, and I didn't remember anything.The only difference was that they were not hung from the tower like the officials.After listening to this, Yu Taiyue glanced at everyone present with a dark and ugly face, originally thinking that even if last night's arrangement could not catch people all at once, it should at least ensure the safety of the capital, and the whole should be handled as a murder case in the capital as usual.But I didn't expect that there was such a thing now, and the other party had actually provoked the court at the same time as provoking the yamen, not to mention that this was the capital, which had already made him have to send a special report to the emperor as soon as possible, so as not to be visited by others first.In addition, things have developed to this point, and if the murder case is not satisfactorily resolved and the murderer is caught, the emperor will not be able to explain, "Arrange it, continue to ambush tonight, I will personally go out, I want to see who the other party is, arrogant to this extent, and blatantly not take the government in his eyes." ”"Yes."

Everyone present gave up their orders.Yu Taiyue immediately waved his hand, and asked everyone to go down first, prepare when they should prepare, and rest to rest.The woman in the mansion hasn't been done yet, and there is such a murder in the capital, it's really idle to die when there's nothing to do, and when there's something to do, come together inside and outside, until everyone retreated, his eyebrows were still a little wrinkled, and he secretly clenched his fists and didn't subdue the woman in the mansion, and if he didn't catch the murderer who provoked the government in person, he wouldn't be called Taiyue.The morning sun was rising, and in the splendid palace, the ministers in the court naturally heard about the murder in the capital and the murderer also provoked the government.Some officials who have always been unable to get along with the Taiyue family, taking advantage of the early dynasty, naturally did not miss the opportunity to report to the emperor one after another, adding fuel and vinegar to accuse the Taiyue of being unfavorable, hoping that the emperor would order severe punishment, but they did not expect that the twists and turns of the Taiyue had already arrived one step ahead of them, and the emperor had already seen it and had already understood the whole thing, and in addition, the Taiyue also promised that the murderer would be caught in the twists and turns, and the emperor was quite satisfied with this and was not angry.In the end, the officials who took the opportunity to report naturally did not succeed and could only wait for the follow-up development of the murder case.As the head of the Xiahou family, Xiahou Yuanjin, who has always been called "the old fox" by Tangtai Jing and referred to by the dark clouds with the word "that person", has always preferred to control everything in his hands, only in this way can he better grasp all kinds of situations and control everything in his own hands.And now, the family affairs of the Xiahou family and the Shantai family have been decided, and they are about to get married.Yutai Jing, who was also in the court, didn't say much, but simply said "let the emperor dispose of it" appropriately.When the early dynasty ended, Xiahou Yuanjin and Tangtai Jing walked at the back intentionally or unintentionally, and walked out of the hall side by side.In the process of walking, Tangtai Jing ostensibly thanked Xiahou Yuanjin for speaking for Tangtaiyue just now."

Brother Tantai is polite, we will be a family soon."

Xiahou Yuanjin smiled."

Yes, it's going to be a family soon."

Yutai Jing smiled back.Both of them had a good "politeness".After leaving the palace gate, the two said goodbye to each other, got up to pick up their carriages, and returned to their respective mansions.In the carriage, as soon as the curtain fell, Xiahou Yuanjin removed the smirk on his face, and his expression sank a little.Regarding what Wuyun said to Xiahou Ying, as well as Wuyun's own decision, he refused to do what he said, and Xiahou Ying, who went back, naturally had already told him.For so many years, for him Xiahou Yuanjin, there are only two things beyond his expectations and control, one is the dark clouds, and the other is that the hidden prince of Taoguang suddenly rose overnight and ascended the throne to become the emperor, which caught him off guard and almost burned his years of hard work, and now he has to be careful to guard against the emperor who ascended the throne.As for Wuyun, since that incident, he has never treated him as his own son, not so much that he suddenly hid him, but that he directly put him into the "cold palace", and he couldn't see him out of sight, and he didn't let anyone else contact him.But he never thought that the person who had become an outcast would give him such an "unexpected" after many years, so that he couldn't help but re-examine him, and wanted to start reusing him and making him useful to him.However, in the same way, he never thought that at this time, he could no longer control him at a young age, not only let him leave under his nose, but also was ruthlessly commanded by him.At that moment, he realized that while he had never treated him as his own son, he had never regarded him Xiahou Yuanjin as his father.But how could it be so simple for him to do things in Xiahou Yuanjin.More than a year later, he still found him.But he never thought that at this time, there was already one more person by his side.A few days later, for the newborn baby at that time, an evil seed that should never exist in this world must die, and there is no second way.However, he obviously underestimated Wuyun's ability and the power he cultivated in his hands, and also underestimated his heart to protect the little milk baby, even though he knew everything at that time.The only one who dared to negotiate a deal with him like that Xiahou Yuanjin was his dark cloud.In this transaction, he Xiahou Yuanjin was finally forced to promise to let go of the little milk baby, and he Wuyun swore never to deal with him, not to be an enemy of him Xiahou Yuanjin, and took the newborn little milk baby into the snow mountain, and never stepped out of the snow mountain again.In this way, a few years passed, but what he never expected was that the dark clouds actually only stayed in the snowy mountains for a year.A year later, the dark clouds left the snowy mountain unconsciously under the noses of the people he sent to the snowy mountains to guard them strictly, and before leaving, they set up a strange formation at the entrance of the cave at the top of the snowy mountain, which no one could crack.After that, he changed his name and put on a completely different human skin mask.For this, he Xiahou Yuanjin was not without anger, nor was he without threat.In this way, the stalemate passed for several years.And for the dark clouds that suddenly took the little milk baby out of the snow mountain some time ago, and also woke up the little milk baby, and wanted to heal the little milk baby, his anger was definitely no less than back then.However, due to the situation of Nan Yaoguo, especially the sudden deposing of the queen some time ago, the emperor did not even let go of the woman and his own son who had been married for many years, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of the means made him have to make other plans as soon as possible.In this scheme, he had to suppress the anger in his heart for the time being, and he really needed the dark clouds to come back to help him, so he passed the secret order several times, and did not hesitate to mention the life experience of the little milk baby, and threatened the scandal of the little milk baby's life experience."

Sir, it's here."

In the silence, the coachman's voice suddenly sounded outside the carriage.Xiahou Yuanjin instantly retracted his thoughts, but he didn't expect that he had unconsciously thought all the way, bent down and walked out of the carriage under the curtain that was lifted with him, got off the carriage, and returned to the mansion.It didn't take long for Xiahou to come back.In the study, Xiahou Yuanjin asked Xiahou Ying to prepare immediately, he had already decided to go to the other courtyard in person tonight."

Father, if there is anything, I should convey it in the middle, you can go and arrange it yourself." ”Xiahou Yuanjin didn't want to listen to what Xiahou Yingduo said, so he waved his hand directly.Xiahou Ying looked at it, could only swallow the words behind him, and arched his hand: "Yes." ”Xiahou Yuanjin closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.Time passed and it was nightfall, on the side of the Tai Mansion, after the Tai Yue finished dinner, he was ready to leave the house, and everything had been arranged during the day, and he would go out in person tonight, and he would not give up if he did not catch anyone.Taiya, who had already heard the news, seized the time to come, and just stopped Taiyue at the door of Taiyue's room, pulled Taiyue's arm and said coquettishly: "Second brother, why don't you take me with you, I also want to see and see how the second brother takes down the murderous maniac." ”"Who told you that I was going to catch that murderous demon tonight" Yu Taiyue raised her eyebrows, and her eyes fell fiercely to the person waiting outside the door, without thinking about it, it must have been him.The person waiting outside the door is Yifeng, in fact, he is a subordinate of the Tangtai Mansion, who has been with Tangtaiyue for many years, and can be regarded as a close confidant of Tangtaiyue, and Tangtaiyue will order him to do many things.When Taiya suddenly appeared in the evening to stop him and ask him, he had no choice but to say that he had leaked his mouth.At this moment, when he met the sharp gaze that Taiyue had seen, he trembled slightly, and quickly lowered his head.Taiya quickly stood on tiptoe and blocked in front of Taiyue's eyes, "Second brother, don't blame Yifeng, I forced him to say it, you can take me there." ”"Don't mess around, stay in the mansion obediently, leave here early tomorrow morning, the people arranged by the second brother and his father are ready.Remember, don't forget what the second brother said to you the night before. ”As he spoke, Taiyue patted Taiya's arm and walked away from Taiya.Yifeng quickly followed.Yu Taiya stomped her feet and pouted a little unwillingly.The maidservant who came with Taiya, after watching Taiyue go away, stepped forward and asked for instructions to Taiya: "Fourth Miss, let's go back" "I want you to talk more." ”Tantai Yaben was already a little unhappy, and glared angrily at the maid who was talking at this time.The maid didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly asked for sin: "Please also ask the fourth lady to forgive her sin." ”Tandaiya's anger continued unabated.Late at night, in the middle of the moon, the deeper and quieter the people went out last night and did not see any response under the three marks they left, she had to go out again, knowing in her heart that the servants and beggars who had seen her last night had already seen her, but at that time the distance was far away, she couldn't see their faces clearly, and they naturally couldn't see her appearance clearly, which she was naturally sure of.Since they want to catch her so much, she has nothing to do now anyway, so she might as well accompany them to "have fun" and pass the time.On the streets, as in ambushes last night, beggars sat or lay on the ground of the streets, just as they had been last night.One of them is located in a restaurant at the crossroads, in a private room by the window on the second floor, the light is dim, and the window is slightly open with a gap.As for the woman in the house, when the murderer is caught tonight, I will go back to deal with her well, and I have already thought of a new way to deal with her.On the other side of Xiahou Mansion, Xiahou Yuanjin also left the mansion at about this time, preparing to go to the other courtyard late at night to meet the dark cloud in person
