青山 179、酒(完整版)

如果这宁朝最有权柄的人都希望靖王死，那他就必须死，这便是大势。
陈迹终于明白，如今密谍司已箭在弦上不得不发，没有了云妃，他们也会捏造别的证据，直到靖王彻底死去，永绝后患。
靖王信错了人，他死也就死了。
可世子与白鲤怎么办呢？
陈迹在内狱门前下马。
他平稳了呼吸，这才不紧不慢的敲响铁门。
一名狱卒在铁门后的小窗子里看了一眼，见是陈迹来，赶忙打开铁门：“原来是陈大人！”
本章完。”It’s dry, be careful with fire… Young man, go home early to rest, don’t let your family worry.”

“Okay, thank you, old man.”

At the first watch, the old and weak night watchman holding a white paper lantern passed by Chen Ji who was coming towards him.

Chen Ji held the sleeping Wuyun in his left hand and a jar of wine in his right hand as he crossed Anxi Street and pushed the wooden door of Taiping Clinic open a crack.

He was stunned for a moment, and the orange-yellow light in the room shone through the crack of the door, like a rare warmth in this winter.

Behind the counter, old man Yao was using an abacus to keep accounts, and the crow that had not been seen for a long time returned to the clinic and stood on his shoulder.

Old man Yao looked at Chen Ji and asked indifferently: “Why didn’t you say ‘back’ today?”

Chen Ji smiled and walked in, “Uncle Crow, long time no see.”

The crow raised its wings as a greeting.
Old man Yao looked at the wine jar in Chen Ji’s hand, his eyes were full of meaning: “Don’t go to fetch water tomorrow morning.”
Chen Ji put the wine jar on the counter and asked curiously: “Why?”
Old man Yao said casually: “Remember in the future, don’t go to the City God Temple after killing someone, don’t look into the well, it’s not good feng shui.”
Chen Ji was slightly startled, although he didn’t know what he meant, he still responded: “Okay!”
Old man Yao asked: “Do you regret it?”
Chen Ji thought about it: “No regrets!”
It turned out that Old man Yao didn’t sleep, because the other party knew what he had experienced tonight, so he was waiting for him.
Just like the feeling when he first stepped into Taiping Medical Clinic, it seemed that as long as he stepped in, everything outside could be temporarily forgotten and put down.
This mean old doctor, although his blood is cold, his heart is warm.
Old man Yao opened the mud seal of the wine jar, smelled the smell, and frowned: “How many worries do you have to buy such a strong wine? Go get two bowls.”
Chen Ji said, “Oh”, and went to the kitchen to get two ceramic bowls.
Old man Yao poured himself a shallow bowl of wine, brought it to his mouth and took a sip slowly! Chen Ji asked curiously: “Master also drinks? I thought you never drank!” Old man Yao looked at Deng Miao on the counter: “I loved to drink when I was young, but later I stopped!” Chen Ji was puzzled: “Why don’t you drink?” Old man Yao thought for a while: “When I get older, the wine tastes a bit bitter.” He looked down at the wine at the bottom of the bowl swaying in the light: “The longer I live, the more I feel that fate is playing tricks on me. Is it time? Is it fate? The key to killing this man tonight is not whether the princess will know the truth, but whether you can get over the hurdle in your heart.” Chen Ji was silent. Old man Yao looked at him: “But fortunately, you finally understand a truth: people who can’t give up anything can’t change anything.” Chen Ji thought about this sentence seriously, and then poured himself a bowl of wine, not much, only a shallow bowl. He took a sip, and then exhaled a strong smell of wine like a knife. At this moment, Wuyun also woke up. He leaned his head and licked the wine in Chenji’s bowl.
It was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue, which made Wuyun point his wings at him and laugh silently.
Wuyun was angry and chased the crow in the house.
Old man Yao looked at the cat and the bird and asked casually: “You have obtained the ice flow from Concubine Jing and Concubine Yun now. Two ginsengs a day, with such progress in cultivation, aren’t you afraid that the golden pig will be suspicious?”
Chenji thought for a while and explained: “Master, I can’t wait.”
The ice flow given by Concubine Jing and Concubine Yun is more than anyone else has ever given. Roughly speaking, it is enough to digest more than 20 ginsengs.
It’s a pity that Liu Ge Lao resigned from his post and went home because of mourning, so he didn’t have ice flow.
Otherwise, the ice flow produced by the current Ge Lao might be more than the two princes’ side flying combined.
Old man Yao sighed: “The most feared thing about the Tiger Sect is impatience. If someone finds out, the world will not tolerate you.” Chen Ji replied: “Master, I have the cultivation path given by the Secret Service as a cover. Even if the Golden Pig finds out that there is a problem with my cultivation speed, he will not know that I have cultivated the Tiger Sect. In addition, the only thing that binds people together in this world is interests. Although I don’t know what the Golden Pig is doing in the Secret Service, it must be a big thing.” Chen Ji continued: “He needs strength. The faster I cultivate, the more he can’t do without me. If you let me name the person who doesn’t want me to die the most, it must be him!” Old man Yao twitched his eyebrows: “What will you do when he finishes his work and no longer needs you?” Chen Ji’s eyes flashed with mist, and he whispered: “There won’t be that time.” Old man Yao looked at him seriously for a moment, and then said with relief: “You are finally no longer a stranger.” Chen Ji’s eyes froze, and this sentence seemed to have a thousand-pound weight. The old doctor and the young boy looked at each other across the counter, breaking the window paper for the first time.
Chen Ji had thought that Old Man Yao must know that he came from the forty-ninth heaven, so when his personality changed drastically, he did not question it.
The night when he first arrived, he said that he went to Zhou Mansion because he had calculated a “lucky hexagram”.
But now thinking back, it seems that he was more worried that he would not be able to find his home and become a wandering ghost, so he went to take him home.
That night, if Old Man Yao did not take him, he would not even know where to go after leaving Zhou Mansion.
Old Man Yao sighed and said, “I don’t know where you lived before, but you have a natural compassionate heart, but in this world, good people don’t live long. Now your blood has cooled down. Good, otherwise I would worry that you would go before me.”
Chen Ji was silent.
Old man Yao looked at him and said, “But I have one more thing to say to you!”
Chen Ji asked, “What is it?”
Old man Yao said slowly, “The blood can be cold, but the heart must be warm!”
The same eight words, but the master said them in a different order.
“It’s time to give you this thing.”
Old man Yao took out an object from his sleeve, put it on the counter, and pushed it in front of Chen Ji.
Chen Ji took it in his hand and saw that it was an ivory waist plate engraved with the Eight Diagrams.
There was no word on the waist plate, only three hexagrams.

He was puzzled: “Master, what is this?”
Old man Yao said casually: “I didn’t want to give it to you, because I was afraid that you would die faster if you took it. As for what it is, I can’t say, and I don’t want to say it. You are a smart man. When you can use it one day, you will naturally understand.”
Chen Ji asked again: “Why are there only three hexagrams on this waist badge?”
Old man Yao said casually: “Opening door, resting door, life door, three auspicious doors, there is no particularity, just for good luck.”
Chen Ji said, “Oh”, kicked the waist badge into his arms: “Master!”
Old man Yao waved his hand impatiently: “I don’t have time to chat with you, I’m going back to sleep. I say again, you don’t need to fetch water tomorrow morning, don’t crow like a rooster every day, disturbing my sleep.”
Chen Ji:…”
Old man Yao drank the wine in the bowl, and then looked at Chen Ji: “Why don’t you drink the wine you bought?”
Chen Ji was stunned for a moment, “Master, I didn’t buy this wine to drink! ”
Old man Yao was suspicious: “Isn’t it to drown your sorrows in wine?”
Chen Ji didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He took charcoal from the kitchen, crushed it and mixed it with Shaodaozi liquor and spread it out, waiting for it to evaporate; “Master, this process is to purify the charcoal, to make the charcoal… Anyway, it is to make the strong and domineering thing you mentioned!”
Old man Yao widened his eyes, then threw up his sleeves and walked to the backyard: “I don’t need to worry about you. ”
Chen Ji smiled, and concentrated on crushing all the black charcoal, mixing it with strong liquor, and then spreading it out to dry.
When everything was done.
Chen Ji silently blew out the oil lamp, sat alone behind the counter in a daze, letting the darkness drown him!
Dawn!
The morning water smell floated in the mist. It was as if soft moss had grown in the air.
Chen Ji led the warhorse tied to the apricot tree and walked into the mist on the bluestone road.
The sound of horse hooves spread far away, echoing in the empty street.
He went to the East Market first, bought the snacks from Zheng Xinzhai again, and then went out from the South Gate.
He rushed all the way to Liu’s mansion.
Now that Concubine Yun is gone, the Secret Service naturally cannot use evidence to convict Prince Jing.
Presumably, they will keep the prince and the princess under house arrest for a while, and then they will have no choice but to release them.
However, when Chen Ji arrived in front of the Liu’s mansion, he was a little hesitant when he looked at the vermilion lacquer door.
On the way here, he only thought that he had finally saved Prince Jing’s mansion.
But he was daunted when he arrived at the door.
Chen Ji was silent for a moment, and finally jumped off the horse and knocked on the door.
With a creak, the vermilion lacquer door opened a crack from the inside, and a young secret agent poked his head out.
When he saw Chen Ji, he asked in confusion: “Master Chen, why are you here?”
Chen Ji handed over the snacks: “Please send them to Prince Jing, I won’t go in.”
The secret agent said: “Master Chen, this thing was sent to the wrong place.”
Chen Ji frowned slightly; “What do you mean? Did Master Jinzhu tell you anything? ”
The spy knew that Chen Ji was a popular figure around Jin Zhu and had made great contributions. He might become a big spy at the level of Hai Dong Qing one day.
Yu Hong hurriedly explained: “Early this morning, Lord Bai Long had taken Prince Jing, the Crown Prince, and the Princess to the Inner Prison. So your snacks should be sent to the Inner Prison!”
Chen Ji asked calmly: “Why did Lord Bai Long take them to the Inner Prison?”
The spy smiled and said: “I don’t know about this. I’m afraid you have to go to the Inner Prison yourself to see. ”
Chen Ji stood in front of the door for a long time without saying a word. The violent cold wind blew and blew his hair to the east.
Chen Ji threw the snacks in front of the door, got on the horse, pulled the reins and turned the horse’s head, lowered his body and galloped towards the inner prison.
He suddenly remembered what Jin Zhu said.
If the most powerful people in Ning Dynasty want Prince Jing to die, then he must die. This is the general trend.
Chen Ji finally understood that the Secret Service Department had to make an arrow on the string. Without Concubine Yun, they would fabricate other evidence until Prince Jing died completely and there would be no future troubles.
Prince Jing trusted the wrong person, so he died.
But what about the prince and Bai Li?
Chen Ji dismounted in front of the inner prison.
He steadied his breathing, and then knocked on the iron door slowly.
A jailer took a look at the small window behind the iron door, and saw that it was Chen Ji, and hurriedly opened the iron door: “It turned out to be Lord Chen!”
This chapter is over.
