Chapter 11 Kyoto Coup 7

"This...please forgive me, Princess, I'm just following orders."

The guard in Xuanyi wrinkled his face and struggled to squeeze out a sentence. His superiors ordered him to only accept invitations but not see anyone. Even King Su pushed him away. The princess who had just returned to the capital...

There was a sigh through the bamboo curtain. Chu Shou lightly touched the curtain as a signal, and Ah Shui helped to roll it up.

When the guard saw Chu Shou, he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Chu Shou turned his head, put his hand gently on the window edge, looked at the back of the carriage, and said softly: "Brother, you are still blocking it like this..."

"Commander Wei? Then surround us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of forbidden troops came out from the intersection. They were all wearing heavy armor and holding long guns. They raised a puff of dust and stopped neatly at the entrance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Behind them were a few common people who liked to watch the excitement, squatting.

Eating melon in the corner.

The guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate outside the palace were shocked when they saw this battle. They did not expect that someone in Kyoto City would dare to lead troops to act in the royal city. However, even though they thought so, they calmly clenched the weapons in their hands.

The guard who just spoke immediately whispered to someone: Go and report it quickly.

After a while, a high-pitched voice came along with the sound of rapid footsteps.

"Princess, if you miss it, you will welcome it from afar, and if you miss it, you will welcome it from afar!"

Chu Shou raised his eyes and sneered, then he climbed up the carriage window and joked from a distance: "Huh? Mr. Luo, how come you are here in the Procuratorate? The reputation of being hard and tired is not good."

Luo Ming smiled, walked forward quickly and saluted, stood aside with his hands lowered and said: "We are all doing things for His Majesty, it is the same everywhere, but you, how come you suddenly returned to Beijing? These people below

You don’t know how to do things. I wonder if you came here and did this stupid thing and alerted Commander Wei. You deserve to be punished!"

"I heard that your elders returned to Beijing last night, and I also want to meet your elders." Chu Shou smiled sincerely, raising the ends of his eyes, and his thin eyelids, like a fox on the back mountain, with green fur.

Luo Ming was ashamed. Those who knew he wanted to see the adults, but those who didn't knew thought they were confiscating their home...

"See you! Of course I have to see you... My elders are not in good health. They were running around yesterday and are now ill. It's really..."

After Chu Shou heard this, he took out a mahogany box from behind, held it out along the car window, and shook it in front of Luo Ming as if to show off.

"By coincidence, I happened to bring some supplements to visit your family."

After saying that, he shook it again, and the box was full, full of sincerity.

Luo Ming was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, "My lord is indeed..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Shou stopped her smile and came out with a dark face. Then, before he could add a few words, she stood up and got off the carriage.

After getting off the car, he stood still with a look on his face that made him look like he was in a hurry. The passers-by who were watching the excitement were not sure whether it was the princess from before, but when they looked at it, hey! It’s true! The princess is back.

!

"Then... open the way."

Chu Shou said lightly, and several rows of forbidden troops rushed forward, swords facing each other, three in a team, two against the guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and one stood directly in his original position.

Luo Ming looked at Commander Wei on the side and cast a look for help. Commander Wei gave him an upright look in return, as if he was doing the most righteous thing in the world.

Seeking help was hopeless, Luo Ming's heart crossed. He was just disobeying his boss. At worst, he might as well go back to Dali Temple. It would be better than being left here - "Open the way! Open the way! Princess, please come in."

"My master should be in the study at this time, discussing matters with several royal censors and Wuhui Xiaoxiao, preparing for the next deployment..." Luo Ming laughed awkwardly, and added: "Sorry, sorry.

, said too much."

"Isn't it because I'm not feeling well? Why did it become a matter of discussion again?"

Luo Ming did not feel any shame at all being exposed, and continued to talk: "There are too many greetings sent in today. In order to comply with your instructions, I have to find an excuse to get out..."

Chu Shou said "Oh~~" as if he suddenly understood. He remembered the way he was shaking his head when he was studying at Taixue with Qin Wuhui. He couldn't help but start to learn. He walked with his hands behind his back and said politely: "I see."

"Princess, be careful of the steps, turn right ahead..."

After Luo Ming finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, scratched his head and said, "The princess should be more familiar with this place than us."

Indeed, speaking of it, this is still a history of her blood and tears.

This was originally a mansion, built many years ago by a wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman was very interested in learning things, so he found a piece of geomantic omen and ordered people to dig a round lake in the middle.

A nine-story tower stood firmly on the lake, but it could only hear the roar of explosions.

There is one underground floor, five floors above ground, and the other three floors have fake cornices, but they are not usable at all and have only ornamental value.

The tower connects all directions and is divided into eight courtyards, shaped like eight trigrams, named after Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui respectively.

The middle of the tower is straight to the outside. There is a huge stone in the front hall for the purpose of supporting the tower. The stone is engraved with the word "Chaos". This huge stone is uncarved and natural. In the sun, it will flash out seven-color groups, like salt sand.

As fine as the sky, the sun and the moon alternate, and the night is covered by the moonlight, shining with silver light, like the vast expanse of stars in the sky.

The Qinghui stone that Chu Shou often wore around his waist was cut from this huge stone...

The stairs in the tower are surrounded by circles, and the layers are staggered, giving you an air of nobility.

Standing next to the central boulder and looking up, you can still see the top of the tower at a glance. The top of the tower is painted with horrifying murals, flying fairies, solemn statues of gods... it's dazzling.

The railings on each floor are connected one by one with golden ropes. Small and exquisite copper bells and colorful flags are hung on the ropes. When the wind blows, the windows are opened, the flags and flags fly, and the bells ring. It is absolutely breathtaking.

An audio-visual feast, an absolute feast for the eyes.

Unfortunately, during the war, the wealthy businessman ran away with his family. The mansion was looted and burned, but it still retains its elegance in its heyday. The structure of the house and the layout of the courtyard are even more advanced than today's technology. There is nothing flashy.

It's really the same as what it looks like.

It's just that it has been weathered by wind and rain, and it looks dilapidated. It has been abandoned for many years.

Chu Shou was the richest man among a group of children at the time. One night, he was bored at the General's Mansion in Nuo Da, so he went behind the back of the old man and dragged a few bold young ladies from the west wall of the mansion.

He crawled into the dog hole under the bricks and called it an adventure treasure hunt.

Sure enough, they were trying to die in the middle of the night. Any sign of disturbance would scare the group of people half to death. Before they left the yard, they threw away the lighting lantern in their hands and crawled out along the dog hole again. They cheered each other secretly. Those who were not afraid of death made an appointment again.

Thinking that we would go exploring again during the day next time, we really agreed with the saying "the duck is dead, only the mouth is still strong", and then they found an excuse for each other: it was too troublesome to have to get a lantern in the middle of the night.

Later, a group of people climbed in again on the second day. Although it was still gloomy and desolate, the progress bar rushed forward by more than half, and even climbed to the top tower. At that time, some damaged doors and windows were blown by the wind, and the copper bells were ringing.

, sitting on the terrace facing north and south, you have a panoramic view of the entire Kyoto city, not to mention how comfortable it is.

What's even worse is that I picked up a lot of small, exquisite and priceless things, tied them around my waist, or some gold hairpins and jade rings worn by the lady's concubines, randomly inserted them into my head, and then picked up a handful of bronze mirrors to look pretty for a long time.

.

The group is enjoying themselves, but the nearby residents will suffer.

In order to cool down, they opened all the doors and windows. It was the windy season at that time, and there was a strong wind at night. Not only did the bells ring, but there were also many sharp and weird sounds.

People nearby thought the house was haunted and couldn't sleep at night. However, the door was closed and no one dared to approach. Some people who were so close couldn't bear it and packed up their belongings and moved out overnight.

Soon, this matter spread throughout Kyoto. Some people rumored that there was an extremely beautiful water demon suppressing the pagoda. The long hair curled up and dragged the child's skull to the ground, covering the folded legs and the corners of the mouth.

Cracked, a pair of eyes that hung from the tip to the brow, the pupils were dark, without any impurities, if you look at her, your soul will be sucked dry.

The banshee often sings to the moon and expresses her worries when the moon rises in the east.

What's more, they even made up a poignant story about a heartless man and an infatuated girl for this water monster.

So every family restrained their children from wandering in the streets at night, saying that after hearing the song of the water monster, they would throw themselves into the lake to replace the dead children of the water monster.

What's even more outrageous is that the water demon also managed to have a beautiful name...

Originally, Chu Shou and the others wanted to tell the truth, but the situation has gradually developed to the point where they cannot be undone even if they tell the truth!

Everyone was frightened.

The rumors became more and more intense, and people in the city were panicked. Finally, the officials took action and sent the Dali Temple Qingwei to find out about the Water Tower Banshee.

Later, Wei Chi led his men to remove the rusty locks, and the house that had been abandoned for decades was finally revealed again. The group squatted forcibly all night, and soon found out that the strange noise was not from the water monster in the lake, but from the night.

The wind moved away, and a big hole was opened in the east wall of the fifth floor. The two wind masses collided and produced strange sounds, like whispers and whispers, like the cry of a banshee...

They also flooded the entire round lake. I heard that most of the wealthy businessman's net worth was at the bottom of the lake, and a lot of treasures were fished out.

"I also heard that it was all added to the national treasury..."

"?Little common people, please don't whisper!"

Anyway, it was announced that apart from two giant turtles and a few lotus leaves, there was nothing else at the bottom of the lake, no banshee, and no treasures.

Say important things three times: No treasure! No treasure! No treasure!

They thought that the matter would end here. Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, they soon discovered that the doors and windows had obviously been opened, and there were many footprints on the dusty floor. Over there

There were still a few butt marks on the terrace. For a while, rumors spread...

The expedition team became increasingly afraid to speak, and promised each other that even if they were arrested and imprisoned, they would never reveal a word, and even if they were tortured and tortured, they would never let go!

Weichou was an astute person. He looked at these marks and the dog hole at the base of the west wall. There were obvious signs of being trampled on the grass nearby. Most adults couldn't crawl through it, so he knew that it was some children who were causing trouble.

He didn't want to investigate further, but he didn't know that the rumors were confusing and the people turned to the Ministry of Justice. Xu Chunru from the Ministry of Justice knew the truth and wanted everything to be clear, so he directly transferred the case to the Ministry of Justice and vowed to find out which family the child belonged to.

What an immoral thing you did...

Xu Chunru was known as the Iron-faced King of Hell and the most expert in solving cases. No one in the world, let alone Kyoto, could rival him.

Soon, relying on his ability and skills to turn decay into magic, he started with a small piece of dried buns found in the grass next to the dog hole at the base of the west wall, and immediately identified the chef of Chu Shou's family kitchen.

After interrogation, everyone insisted that only Chu Shou had touched the steamed buns that day...
