you got on my tail

At the same time, it was raining lightly in the capital.

A bright yellow official sedan chair went out from the imperial city, Wei Lan led the way, and then slowly stopped at the entrance of a mansion in Yishanfang. There was no couplet plaque beside the gate of the mansion, but there were many vigilant guards standing.

The guards all knelt down, and a white-faced and beardless man in black got out of the sedan chair. He respectfully held up an oil-paper umbrella and stretched out his hand towards the sedan chair.

Fu Jiying was wearing aqua blue casual clothes, and slowly got out of the sedan chair while holding the eunuch's hand. His long hair was tied high with a jade crown, and he looked like a rich man from any family, but the air-conditioning that seemed to hang frost on his brows did not diminish at all. .

The surroundings were terribly quiet, Fu Jiying frowned, looked at the guards around, and said slowly: "Is King Yan going in and out these days? Maybe someone else went in."

"Report to the emperor." Wei Lan quickly took a step forward, and could not help but break out in a cold sweat, "The Jinyiwei here are all elite soldiers brought out by the minister, and there will be no mistakes."

"King Yan is very skilled in martial arts, and he often fights against the Turks in the borderlands. He knows more than you." Fu Jiying said in a serious tone, "What does King Yan do on weekdays? Do you practice martial arts?"

"No." Wei Lan shook his head, "Prince Yan's body is weak, and he still burns a brazier in summer."

"Then I will acquiesce that nothing will happen." Fu Jiying waved his hand and lifted the corner of his clothes forward.

Only then did Wei Lan feel relieved, while cursing how King Yan could run out of the courtyard guarded by hundreds of people, while quickly giving winks to the people around him, Fu Jiying saw his small movements, deliberately slowed down, and walked in the garden After walking around for a long time, I stepped up to the atrium.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Yan Wang Fu Jijue was already kneeling in the courtyard.

Fu Jijue was wearing white clothes with a loose collar. He really seemed to have just received the news and came running respectfully.

Fu Jijue was handsome and tall, with a gentle face, only his straight eyebrows were slightly similar to Fu Jiying's. He used to be a soldier, but now he just knelt here and waited for a while, and his waist was even a little bent.

The brazier next to the atrium also faintly has residual charcoal glowing with red stars.

"You guys go down." Fu Jiying waited for the servants to go away, "Third Brother, get up too."

After Fu Jijue got the order, he was ready to get up in fear. Fu Jiying suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist. Fu Jijue just wanted to reflexively resist, but was thrown to the ground. He took a few steps back and hurriedly knelt down again.

Fu Jiying condescendingly looked at the former military general in distress, with a satisfied smile on his lips, he stepped forward to pull Fu Jijue up, looked at his right hand and said softly: "My good brother, I really don't have martial arts anymore."

"My brother is very grateful for keeping my brother's life." Fu Jijue said softly, his voice was as clear and steady as spring water stirring a stone, "My brother had already abolished his martial arts at that time, so I never dared to lie to my brother."

"That's good." Fu Jiying sat down and said with a smile: "I wholeheartedly think that the third brother has fought in the north and south, and he has such a good relationship with the eldest brother. I really don't believe that you will be willing to spend the rest of your life in the capital."

Fu Jijue was the child of a servant girl in the palace back then, and his status was low. Fortunately, the abolished prince helped him to get a chance to go to the battlefield.Fu Jijue was always honest and cautious, and he was grateful to the abolished prince.

A wolf who fought like this on the battlefield, but turned against him when the power to abolish the prince was gone, and obeyed his own words to abolish his martial arts... Even a guy like Bai Xuehe would struggle a few times, let alone him.

Therefore, Fu Jiying always had doubts.

"Your brother has no martial arts." Fu Jijue replied with a low eyebrow: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can send your brother to the frontier, or take him directly to the execution ground."

"Well, I'll ask you." Fu Jiying smiled suddenly, "Tell me, why didn't I kill you, and let Bai Xuehe check it out."

"Brother Huang." Fu Jijue still lowered his head, "Brother Huang wants to take advantage of his younger brother's crimes to get rid of the Liu family."

"Hahahahaha, that's right." Fu Jiying smiled and patted Fu Jijue on the shoulder, "The third brother is still so smart."

Fu Jiying really wanted to get rid of the Liu family, but Liu Yan had already been dismissed from office and sent to be kind, Wang Feng was gone, and Zhou Jing, Ruan Jianghe... Maybe there would be more in the future, but he had already got rid of many people.

It seems that Fu Jijue really doesn't know anything, but he still speaks out his thoughts honestly, without hiding anything.

So Fu Jiying pulled Fu Jijue to sit down, and the two continued to talk about the past. After about an hour, Fu Jiying got up and went back to the palace.

"That's right." Fu Jiying saw Fu Jijue who was kneeling to see him off, "I killed so many people that I can't remember them all, but there were indeed people who betrayed you, and I didn't keep any of them, only Bai Xuehe is still here If you hate him, I can send him to accompany you, his taste is a bit more beautiful than the concubine in the harem."

Bai Xuehe was once helped by Fu Jijue. Fu Jiying said it deliberately, and even looked at him with a smile. Fu Jijue's eyelids twitched unnaturally, and then said solemnly: "I don't hate him, everyone has his own ambition..."

"Okay." Seeing his reticence, Fu Jiying was a little disappointed.

Fu Jiying walked out quickly, and Wei Lan had already greeted him. The rain had just stopped, and he followed behind with his umbrella closed, "Slow down, Your Majesty, be careful of the slippery road."

"The king of Yan has really changed." Fu Jiying smiled half a smile, "He is already a wolf with a broken limb, and he can't prey on it anymore."

"The king of Yan followed the deposed prince to seek rebellion. This end is the emperor's kindness." Wei Lan responded very dog-leggedly.

"However." Fu Jiying turned her head, "There must be no less guards. I have never been on the battlefield. I don't understand his retreat. I can only guard his people."

"Yes." Wei Lan replied immediately.

"How about Bai Xuehe?" A charcoal basin was thrown in the corner, and Fu Jiying suddenly thought of something, "Is the pain relief ointment enough?"

"Master Bai is investigating the case according to the imperial decree." Wei Lan didn't know the voice of the emperor, so he only answered truthfully.

An hour after the two left, Fu Jijue tore off his coat and threw it into the charcoal fire without hesitation.

……

Shi En was also raining one after another, Bai Xuehe frowned and put his swollen feet on the wooden basin, which contained a black stone.

In front of him was a famous doctor recommended by the prefect of Hubei.

Heidan huddled in the big wooden bucket in the room to take a bath, with his feet up on the edge of the bucket, holding a chicken leg in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were full of oil from eating.

"That's all right?" Bai Xuehe didn't know medical skills, but he was eager to cure his feet, so he raised his head and said to the doctor, "Why does it look more swollen?"

"My lord has no bone injury, it's just a sprain." The doctor put Bai Xuehe's foot back on the rock, covered it with a towel, and replied with a southern accent, "Rest more, and then fumigate with the strange mountain rocks that have been burned down. It will recover in a day."

"Thank you very much." Bai Xuehe nodded, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, the doctor declined for a while, and happily took the money and left.

The smell of roast chicken was delicious, and the disabled Snow Crane was inexplicably irritable. He took his foot off the strange stone that the doctor was proud of, and limped to the black egg. He glanced at the empty plate and knocked on it. Under the black egg head.

"Oh!" Heidan turned his head back, with a bulging face and blurted out, "You're messing around!"

"Don't you want to eat it? Why did you eat it all?!" Bai Xuehe grabbed his hand and bit the last bite of the chicken leg, "If I had known you were so good at eating, I would have bought more."

"I said no to eating at the beginning because the mountain was too smelly, but then I was hungry!" Hei Dan was dissatisfied, staring at a pair of watery round eyes, his fat feet stepped on the water fiercely, and the whole person " "Teng" stood up, "No more washing!"

"Oh! You eat too much, and you run around naked!" Bai Xuehe pretended to be disgusted, but when Heitan heard "eat too much", even if Fat Aimi's face changed immediately, Bai Xuehe quickly took off the towel and wrapped him up, ruthlessly Rubbed his hair a few times.

Heidan got his head out of the big towel and whispered, "I'm really hungry, that's what snakes are like, but maybe I won't eat the next meal."

"Who said I won't eat it for you." Bai Xuehe pinched his face, "Am I treating you well? If you run into the mountains, I'm worried. What if you meet a big monster?"

"There really are no big monsters." Heidan hurriedly said, "I only saw the mother fox and the little fox, and they even gave me fruit..."

Heidan was chattering, when someone knocked on the door in front of the room, Bai Xuehe quickly wiped Heitan, and asked with a frown, "Who is it?"

"It's the lower official, Lan Ziqing." Lan Ziqing's voice came from outside the door, as if urging her to order, "My lord wants to go down to check the corpse found by Mr. Liu, and the lower official has already gone."

"Do you really want to come today?" When Bai Xuehe was in Dali Temple, he worked day and night to plant others according to Fu Jiying's instructions, but he really wasn't as workaholic as Lan Ziqing.

"Now it's You hour, and it's time to rest." Bai Xuehe was so sleepy that he wanted to play with Heidan for a while, so he didn't open the door for him, "What's the matter, Mr. Lan, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"But my lord has no work in the morning." After a while, Lan Ziqing's voice sounded, "If your lord won't let the lower officials in, the lower officials will report to Yushitai..."

"All right, all right." Bai Xuehe sighed, "Come in."

Lan Ziqing came in, still neatly dressed in his ninth-rank Zhima official uniform, which was out of place with Bai Xuehe, who was only wearing common clothes. The child of my distant relatives was specially entrusted to me, I can't just leave him in the capital, thank you Lord Lan for helping me that day, or..."

Bai Xuehe wrapped Heidan into a small quilt, but Heidan stretched out his hand and pointed backwards carefully, Bai Xuehe's voice stopped, one big and one small looked up together, and saw Lan Ziqing's eyes of bitterness and hatred.

"Go ahead." Bai Xuehe felt that this person was really boring, "Let's talk about the case."

"My lord, Wu Zuo has seen it, and it is indeed a human hand." Lan Ziqing originally wanted to take Bai Xuehe to the government office, but he couldn't bear to see him jumping and jumping as he walked, "Hu Zuo said, although it took a long time, But it looks like it was burned, and the officials find it very strange."

"It's normal for people in the mountains to be burned to death." Bai Xuehe dismissed him flatly.

"Indeed, but the Nanshan Mountain you went to yesterday has never been burned, and." Lan Ziqing frowned with a serious expression, "Wu Zuo said that the hand had only been away from the body for a few days, and it seemed to be caused by rapid dehydration. It was not an ordinary burn." Death, and the fracture of the body are also very neat, not like nature or animals, Mr. Liu said that it was baked in a furnace, although it is absurd, it is not unreasonable."

"Ah, I understand." Bai Xuehe said deliberately: "There are cannibals on the mountain?"

Lan Ziqing replied: "It's not impossible."

Bai Xuehe's heart was a little broken, Lan Ziqing looked serious, cupped his hands and said: "Human life is at stake, it's not too late, sir, please go and investigate immediately."

"You're annoying enough." Bai Xuehe was really speechless, realizing that he couldn't speak out against this stubborn person at all, he suddenly raised his feet and said: "But how do you let me go?"

"My lord, have you ever heard of sliding poles?" Lan Ziqing said seriously, "It's just..."

He didn't care about Bai Xuehe's implication, and began to explain seriously.
