Anyuanbo's Mansion in Xuanyangfang is extremely famous in Chang'an City.
Although it is an uncle's mansion, the spaciousness of the mansion is better than that of ordinary marquis and duke's mansions.
In this regard, others did not dare to say anything. Because not only did the queen's nephew Helan Minzhi live in the mansion, but also the emperor's beloved wife Helan Minrou of Wei lived there.
The mansion faces north and south, and there is a huge polo field in the back garden, which takes up a quarter of the area of the mansion.
On the green grass court, the red and blue teams looked like armies fighting against each other. Each player held a stick more than one meter long, and the horses' hooves were flying and roaring like thunder.
What they compete for is not the life of the other party, but a hollow wooden ball the size of a fist on the ground. There are ten people on each side, and a goal is set up on each side. Unlike Cuju's tall Feng Liuyan, the polo goal is set on the ground.
Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, a beautiful young woman trotted into the court and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, Master Puhai is here!"
She was only looking for her uncle, but she didn't notice a person behind her on horseback rushing towards her. As the horse got closer and closer, the woman finally heard the sound and turned around to look, her face turned pale.
Unexpectedly, the rider on the horse suddenly changed direction just when he was about to hit the woman. The horse passed by the woman, and the rider held the woman in his arms as soon as he moved his hands.
The woman looked up, patted her chest and said angrily: "Uncle, you are so bad, you scare me to death!"
But he saw that the man hugging him had a red scarf tied on his forehead. He was young, handsome, and heroic.
"You're such a brave girl. You even dare to run around on Uncle Ben's polo field without fear of being stepped on by horses. Let's see if I punish you or not!" the heroic man said with a smile.
The woman stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm too anxious. How do you want to punish me?" Her eyes seemed timid, but in fact there was a bit of expectation.
"How about this!" The heroic man buried his head in her suet-like neck, sniffing and nibbling. The woman yelled no, while "giggling" and laughing non-stop.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she hurriedly said: "Uncle, Master Puhai is here, and Mrs. Guo is receiving him!"
"Uncle Ben is busy right now, so let my sister receive him first!" the heroic man replied while continuing his work.
The beautiful woman gasped and said: "He, he looked very solemn. He said that he has something important to see you, and Mrs. Guo also asked you to come over quickly!"
The heroic man finally stopped what he was doing, hugged the young woman, turned over and dismounted, and performed the movements in one go, showing his extremely superb riding skills.
After dismounting, his expression returned to seriousness, and he strode towards the lobby. The beautiful woman behind him was about to trot to keep up, when the heroic man said without looking back:
"Xiehe, we need to talk about something serious, so don't follow us."
The beautiful woman said "Oh" with a disappointed look on her face.
This heroic man is none other than Empress Wu's nephew, Anyuan Bo Helan Minzhi.
In Chang'an City, He Lan Minzhi's reputation was mixed. Some people thought he was elegant and unrestrained. Others thought he was just a womanizer and a shameless person.
Regardless of whether he likes or dislikes him, it is undisputed that he does have his own merits. He is not only handsome in appearance, good at both civil and military skills, but also proficient in music. Countless women in Chang'an City secretly admire him.
There are even rumors that Lan Xiaolou, one of the three famous celebrities in Pingkangfang, is also attracted to her.
However, despite having so many things, Helan Minzhi was not satisfied. He only took what he had for granted and did not take it seriously. However, he was worried about the things he wanted but could not get.
Cut it all.
After passing through the ear door and entering the lobby, his sister, Mrs. Helan Minrou of the State of Wei, chatted with Monk Puhai with a serious smile.
Helan Minzhi could see that Monk Puhai's smile was very stiff, and it was obvious that his mind was not on chatting.
Puhai is a monk in his thirties, with a tall figure and a delicate face. After seeing He Lanmin, he stood up quickly, clasped his hands and said, "Uncle, something happened."
He Lanmin waved his hand and asked all the servants to retreat. He walked to the top and sat down, asking: "What's the situation?"
"There's something wrong with the nun who saw me committing the crime!"
He Lanmin raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say she is deaf and mute? What else could go wrong?"
"She is deaf and mute, but she can still write. I really couldn't worry about it, so I kept sending people to look for her. When I found her whereabouts this afternoon, I sent a disciple to kill her, but I didn't want my disciple to kill her.
Got caught!"
Helan Minzhi stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Why did you send your own people to take action? Didn't I tell you that if you have anything to do, you can go to Gao Long?"
"Brother, don't talk to the master like this? It's too rude!" Mrs. Wei pouted.
Pu Hai smiled bitterly and said: "It is true that the poor monk did not think carefully about this matter. It is right for the uncle to be angry."
Helan Minzhi's expression softened a little and he said loudly: "I'm not blaming the master, it's just that this matter is too closely related, and one bad move will come back to us, so we can't be careless."
"What my uncle said is absolutely true. The poor monk didn't know whether to send his own people to take action. However, the poor monk was already being watched by Di Renjie of Dali Temple. He really couldn't go to Gao Long. He had no choice but to take this step."
He Lan Minzhi was shocked and said anxiously: "Why would Di Renjie focus on you? Did you leave some clues? Or did others also see it?"
Puhai lowered his head and said apologetically: "The poor monk accidentally left a string of Buddhist beads in the courtyard where the crime occurred, and that's why people from Dali Temple came to find him."
Helan Minrou smiled and said: "Isn't it just a string of Buddhist beads? What's the big deal."
He Lanmin raised his hand and said: "No, I have heard of Di Renjie. In more than a year, this man judged a large number of cases backlogged in Dali Temple. More than 10,000 people were involved in the case, but no one was unjustly accused.
, which shows its ability. From now on, we must be extremely careful when we act!"
Having said this, he stared straight at Pu Hai: "Master, since Di Renjie is eyeing you, why did you come directly to me?"
Pu Hai folded his hands and said, "Don't worry, uncle, the poor monk came here while Di Renjie was leaving."
He Lan Minzhi relaxed his eyebrows and said, "That's good. I wonder which yamen the master's disciple was arrested by?"
"The nun hid in Ye Yuqiu, and the poor monk's apprentice was caught by Ye Yuqiu's nursing home. He was a good boy, and he committed suicide after being caught."
Mrs. Wei Guo sighed: "A famous teacher produces a great disciple, and he is worthy of being a disciple of the master. Since he is dead, what does the master have to worry about?"
Helan Minzhi frowned and said: "The matter is not that simple. Even if he dies, others will know that he is a monk from Guangyi Temple. If the people in Dali Temple find out, they will immediately suspect the master."
Puhai sighed: "What my uncle said is absolutely true. In fact, Pindao also sent another disciple to find Xu Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and asked him to help take care of him. Who knew that Xu Yuanwailang suddenly sent someone to inform me?
, saying that this case has been bumped into by Zhou Guogong, and he is interrogating it personally!"
With a "pop" sound, the tea cup in He Lan Minzhi's hand became unstable and fell to the ground.
Helan Minrou also had a worried look on her face, and said in panic: "Brother, is something bad going on? Do you want me to go find His Majesty?"
He Lanmin waved his hand and said: "We haven't reached that step yet. Even if Wu Chengsi knew that it was Master Puhai who sent people to kill the people, he couldn't find any evidence. As long as Master Puhai refuses to admit it, there is nothing he can do.
"
"Then why do you look so ugly?" Mrs. Wei Guo asked, tilting her head.
"What I'm worried about is that he discovered Master Puhai's purpose of killing the nun, and then knew that Master Puhai was related to the case of Baiyun Temple!"
"There's no need to worry. Didn't the master say that the only witness was the nun? Now that the nun is dead, who knows what the master did in Baiyun Nunnery?" Helan Minrou said disapprovingly.
"No, no, everything is connected. If Di Renjie became suspicious of Baiyun'an's case, he might also become suspicious of the Zheng family's case." He Lan Minzhi showed a thoughtful expression.
Pu Hai said: "Uncle, are you worried about something going wrong with Gao Long?"
"Yes, he knows everything. If Dali Temple traces him, things will be bad!" He Lan Minzhi's eyes flashed coldly.
Seeing his expression, Pu Hai knew that he wanted to kill Gao Long and silence him, and he would never send his own people to do it. What he meant by this was that he wanted Pu Hai to do it.
But Puhai didn't want to do this.
"Uncle, after Ye Yuqiu's case, Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi will definitely target the poor monk. It's really hard to take action against the poor monk. Why don't you tell Gao Long and let him go out of the city to avoid the limelight?"
He Lan Minzhi took a deep look at Pu Hai and said with a smile: "Okay, after all, Gao Long has been with me for many years. If possible, I don't want to do things too badly."
Pu Hai stood up, bowed to the two of them, turned around and left.
After leaving the gate of the uncle's mansion, Puhai got into a luxurious carriage and returned to Guangyi Temple.
Shortly after he left, a man in black appeared from the corner of the street, looking at the gate of the uncle's house with a strange light in his eyes.
