Chapter 50 Chapter 25

Di Gong ordered the sedan chair and horses to mourn for Qiao Tai.Tomorrow morning, I will return to Beijing early in the morning, and I will accompany you. Ni Tianji led sisters Tingye and Dana to the yamen to mourn.Ni Tianji choked with sadness, Ting Ye and Dan Na were even more distraught. Wen Kan treated Ni's father and daughter graciously, with sour, sweet, sad and joyful feelings in his heart.From then on, he became close friends with Ni Tianji, and kept close contacts, never mentioning the secrets of his life experience.Ni Tianji then devoted all his resources to practicing Taoism, fasting day and night. ——This is a topic for later.

In addition, Tao Gan was busy assisting Wen Kan in dealing with the aftermath: transporting Zhu Munu's body to Huata Temple for incineration, and taking several murderers captured by Liang Pu's mansion to Phoenix Hill outside the north gate for Falun Dafa.Go to Liang's mansion to hang filial piety. Huijing led the monks of Huata Temple to preside over the water and land Taoist field for seventy-seven and forty-nine days, and recommended Liang Pu.An uncle of the Liang Pu brothers and sisters took care of the housekeeping of the Liang Mansion temporarily.Tao Gan couldn't find Lanli anywhere, so he couldn't help being suspicious, so he came straight to Lion Square.

Tao Gan ran to the roof of Lanli's previous building in one breath, and held his breath to listen outside the door for a while.The sound of chirping and insects in the room was very pleasant, and I was overjoyed. "Is Tao Xianggong outside the door?" Lan Li had heard the movement. Tao Gan pushed the door open and entered.Lan Li gave her a seat with tea, and the two sat side by side on the edge of the bed. "Lingxiong is busy attending the funeral, inside and outside, why are you hiding here?" Lan Li said: "My uncle is in charge of the housework, so I don't need to do everything myself. Besides, I am most afraid of monks chanting scriptures. Instead of listening to scriptures, I might as well hide here and listen to the crickets' cry. It will be more reassuring."

"Miss Lanli has lost her brothers and sisters one after another, and she has been alone since then, how lonely she is." She couldn't help crying. "You've also lost your closest colleague. Don't worry about it, you'll miss your future." Lan Li sighed softly. Tao Gan hummed bitterly: "Going to the capital now, the situation is bleak. There are only two crickets that can be relieved. One is stuffed into the arms of the Qiaotai brothers, and the other is the cricket that you left in a hurry on the night of the exam. It’s next.—Master Di has vowed not to ask the prison to solve the case again, and I will be calm from now on, focusing on studying, only hoping to die in Chang’an.”

Lan Li moved closer to Tao Gan: "When you see these two crickets, you see me." "One day, it would be great for you to bring so many crickets to Chang'an to see me!—You are the only woman in this world with a pure heart." Lan Li said: "As long as your wives and concubines don't quarrel." "The heavens can prove that I, Tao Gan, have never been single. Except for you, Lanli, there will be no more wives and concubines." Lan Li's cheeks flushed for a while, like rouge lightly smeared, she couldn't help shyly bringing half of her face close to Tao Gan's brow.

"Qu Qu." The clear and clear voice startled Tao Gan.Lan Li smiled: "That's the golden bell singing."
