Shen Yan had a good night's dream, woke up the next day and saw that Xiao Suo was not in the room, seven or eight thoughts popped up in his mind, each one was more frightening than the last, he hurriedly went down to look for it with his shoes.

He was in the tea room, holding a blue and white porcelain pot in his hand and feeding the fish.There are many koi in the emerald tank. In the past, when Baoyu was around, he loved to jump on the table and stretch his neck to spy.

Xiao Suo was wearing white silk pajamas, green and blue cloth shoes, a blue long robe, and a purple gold ribbon in his hair.He is usually polite, whether standing or sitting upright, seldom like this moment, his left leg is propped up, his right leg is stretched out in front of him, and his trousers hang loosely, falling straight to his feet, which looks a little strange. Different kind of chic.

"I was scared to death. I thought I drank too much wine and did something to you. When you got annoyed, you ran away again." Shen Yan stepped forward to hug him, "Are you full? Just think about it first." Feed them."

"Baoyu is gone, so I will feed them." Xiao Suo said, and sprinkled a handful of fish food in the big lotus-leaf fish tank.

Shen Yan hugged him from behind, rubbed his ears with him, and said lazily: "You either have a thin cat, or the one that looks like an orange. It's the same if you bring it here. .”

"It's called Xizhi." Xiao Suo corrected, "It's Liu Siwen's cat. After he divided the house, I gave it back to him."

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing at him: "What's the name? I still learn it. Why isn't it called an exam?"

"I won't talk to you anymore." Xiao Suo resentfully put down the porcelain jar, turned around and said, "I still have something to do in the yamen today, so I'm leaving."

"Are you angry?" Shen Yan pulled him back, pointed to the fish tank and said, "Hey, this one is called Xizhi, this one is called Wengu, this one is called Zhixin, this one is called Dengke, and this one is called Duokui ……Ok?"

Xiao Suo pursed his lips: "You are really poor."

"There is really something wrong in my yamen." He said again, "Master Yan has something wrong, haven't you heard?"

Shen Yan came back last night and got very drunk, so naturally he didn't know about the changes in Beijing.When Xiao Suo waited for him to sleep, he heard from Shen San'er that there was a wave of ups and downs, and a wave of another wave. Yan Jun was imprisoned some time ago and there is no result yet, and recently he was involved in an old case from the past.

"What old case?" Shen Yan frowned.

Xiao Suo didn't know either: "I just heard from Shen San that I was busy cooking you hangover soup last night, so I didn't have time to ask."

Shen Yan hurriedly called Shen San'er in, asked the cause and effect in detail, and heard him say: "The subordinates don't know much about it. I heard that it seems to be related to a book. A book hidden by Mr. Yan, the words in it are suspected of alluding to Taizong has been denounced."

"What does he have to do with the book?" Shen Yan said, "What kind of book is it, and what is written in it?"

Shen San'er shook his head and said: "This subordinate doesn't know, I only heard that it seems to be written by a famous Confucian in the previous dynasty, called Zhang...Zhang or something."

"But Zhang Jiuling?" Xiao Suo asked tentatively.

"That's right!" Shen San'er said, "This is Zhang Jiuling, and he wrote that book."

Xiao Suo asked again: "Is that book called "Suihe Anthology"?"

"It seems to be true." Shen San'er said thoughtfully.

Shen Yan was confused when he heard this, and asked repeatedly: "Stop talking to each other, you two, tell me what's going on. Which old vegetable is Zhang Jiuling, and who is Sui Hewen?"

Originally, the atmosphere was serious and the topic was heavy, Xiao Suo frowned and looked sad, but his words broke the situation in an instant. "What kind of Suihe Wen... Mr. Zhang Jiuling's name is Suihe, and his articles are compiled into a book, so it is called "Suihe Anthology". As for Zhang Jiuling, he is one of the best Confucian scholars since the founding of our dynasty. Confucius and Mencius are deeply learned, highly respected, and have always been admired by people."

"Okay, okay." Shen Yan felt a headache when he heard the chanting, "Don't talk about that, just talk about Yan Jun."

Xiao Suo said with a bitter face: "I don't know about this, but I helped repair an old book in the Hongwen Library back then, it was the "Suihe Anthology". As soon as he said it, I remembered it, and the next I really don’t know. But I remember that the book seems to be a lonely one, how could Master Yan’s family have it? Even if there is, it is an indisputable book, why is it a banned book suspected of alluding to Emperor Taizong?"

"You said you saw that book in the Hongwen Museum?" Shen Yan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xiao Suo nodded, no doubt about him.

"Go and prepare the car, I'm going out." Shen Yan instructed Shen San'er, then turned around and said, "Let's go to your place."

He went back to the house and changed his clothes, washed it in a hurry, took Xiao Suo into the carriage, and said: "Since it is an only copy and you have seen it in the Hongwen Library, it must have something to do with the Hongwen Library. Let's ask." Go Cheng Chi, he lives next door to you."

"Yes." Xiao Suo said, "I actually forgot about him."

The two walked to Zigui Lane by car, and before they entered, they saw Liu Siwen standing far in front.Shen Yan thought he was looking for Xiao Suo, but he heard the people around him say: "Too bad, something must have happened to Cheng Chi."

Xiao Suo had no time to elaborate on the entanglement between them, and only told Shen Yan: "Brother Siwen has admired Cheng Chi for a long time, and he must have known something happened, so he circled around his house." As he spoke, the carriage had already reached the street.

Seeing him, Liu Siwen hurried forward and said, "Brother Xiao, you're back, I've been waiting for you all night. Cheng Chi was arrested by the Ministry of Punishment, do you know?"

Shen Yan and Xiao Suo got off the car one after the other, saw him coming up to hold Du Bao's hand, pulled him away calmly and said: "Master Liu, don't worry, let's go in if you have something to do." Then he scolded Ba Bao who just opened the door "What's going on here? Master Liu is here, why don't you go out to greet him? What's the reason for leaving Master Liu outside?"

Babao curled his lips and said, "No one knocked on the door, so I didn't know there was a grown-up waiting outside."

Shen Yan stared again, Liu Siwen hurriedly smoothed things over: "I didn't knock on the door myself, so don't blame him."

Xiao Suo led everyone into the house, and when the servants brought tea, Fang asked: "Brother Siwen, what's going on today?"

"It's all about Mr. Yan's business." He said sullenly, "Yesterday, the Lang Guan of the Ministry of Punishment wrote a letter, saying that Mr. Yan has a rebellious book "Suihe Anthology" hidden in his home, and that there are many rebellious words in the book. Because Cheng Chi was the one who protected this book from being destroyed in the fire, and the lone copy of this book had been locked in the Hongwen Library before. So he was taken away by the Ministry of Justice because he secretly gave and protected the book."

"What kind of reason is that!" Shen Yan sneered, "Could it be that those who worked in the repair department at the beginning must be brought to the criminal department for interrogation?"

Xiao Suo asked again: "I have edited that book, all of which are serious articles, and did not express any emotions that allude to Taizong. Why did the courtiers go to prison because of it all of a sudden?"

Shen Yan said: "Although I have never experienced it, I know that in all dynasties, the literary inquisition is the most harmful. There was a riot in the previous dynasty, and many innocent people died. I once heard Yan Jun say that his family was defeated like this. .It seems that this is caused by villains, and Yan Jun is about to be harmed again."

"I heard that the emperor has not issued an order yet, and Lord Yan is fine for the time being, but Cheng Chi has fallen into the hands of Mr. Zhang of the Ministry of Justice. He has always had a very bad reputation, and he doesn't know how to use public affairs to benefit his own interests. Cheng Chi's temperament has always been bad." If you are willing to flatter and flatter, otherwise you will not be trapped in the Hongwen Museum for many years without promotion. I am afraid, I am afraid that he..."

Liu Siwen seldom made a long speech, but his expression was very sad.

Xiao Suo comforted him a few words, and said: "Brother Siwen's complexion is not good, I think it's because he didn't sleep all night. Why don't you sleep with me for a while, and I will discuss with the general before going to rescue. Don't worry brother, Cheng Xueshi Thanks to me, I have absolutely no reason to stand idly by."

Liu Siwen still refused, but Shen Yan pushed him into the guest room involuntarily.As Xiao Suo walked out, he said: "I'll go to the yamen to ask, and I'll talk about it when I come back."

Shen Yan blocked the way: "You wait at home, just say you are sick, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Why?" Xiao Suo was puzzled, the matter was urgent, and it was time to inquire about the news, so there was no reason to hide away.

"You are obedient, I will go to inquire, you are not allowed to go, stay at home obediently. You talk to Liu Siwen, I will be back soon." Shen Yan said earnestly, "You don't know, the literary prison is not easy to contaminate, once you get involved in right and wrong , you are finished!"

"You have studied that book before, and you are Yan Jun's subordinate. The suspicion is too great. You are now in the sky and have a prosperous official career. If a villain is jealous and takes the opportunity to make a fuss against you, let alone save Cheng Chi, even you It’s hard for me to be alone. Don’t worry, I’ll ask for you. Fortunately, I don’t study, and everyone in the world knows it. No matter what they do, they can’t use this to harm me.”

Xiao Suo was silent, then lowered his head and said: "Well, I will listen to you and wait for you at home."

Shen Yan leaned over and kissed his forehead: "Good boy, I'll be back soon."

"Hey—" Xiao Suo took two steps forward to hold him, "Cheng Chi...he saved you."

When Shen Yan was trapped in prison, Xiao Suo had no way to see him. Thanks to Cheng Chi's help, he introduced friends from Prince Neifang Bureau to him.Only then did Xiao Suo make his way into the East Palace.If it wasn't for Cheng Chi, he wouldn't be able to see Shen Yan, and if he hadn't met Shen Yan first, he wouldn't be able to run around to clear his grievances.

Shen Yan understood what he meant, and wanted him to remember Cheng Chi's old kindness, and help him out of danger with all his heart, don't be negligent.He was slightly displeased, walked back and hugged him, leaned over to snatch his breath, bit his lips in a punishing manner, and said vaguely: "Little heartless, how often do I not care about what you entrusted to me?" Pass!"

Why bother, to inspire him with kindness.

For his affairs, which time did not go through fire and water.

"I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue." Xiao Suo blushed and took the initiative to kiss his cheek, Nuonuo said: "I know I was wrong, don't be angry."

Shen Yan rubbed him in his arms, and sighed: "I'm not angry, only you will be angry with me from now on, and I will never be angry with you again."

"I don't want it." Xiao Suo said dissatisfied, "Don't think about saying that, you can just do something absurd to make me angry, I don't want it."

Shen Yan smiled deeply in his ear: "Dubao has learned a lot."

"Then don't you like it?" He stared at him with a pair of clear eyes and asked.

Shen Yan couldn't stand him like this the most, so he dropped his helmet and armor without fighting: "I like it, I like everything about you."
