[Red House] That natural stay

The three of them were walking on the snow-covered bluestone path, occasionally stepping on a dry wooden branch under the snow, making a crisp sound of 'creaking'.

The whole alley was silent.The three of Mo Jue stopped in front of a wooden door, carefully compared a few details that no one noticed, and then reached out and knocked on the front door, in a rhythmic manner.

Not long after stopping, the door opened from the inside.

"Excuse me, who is the young master looking for?" A handsome boy asked with his eyes wide open, looking quite pleasing.

"I wonder if Master Yan lives here?" Mo Jue asked.

"My teacher went up to the mountain to gather herbs." The boy replied quickly.

"When will you be back?"

"After a quarter of an hour or two quarters of an hour, there is no certainty. I am really sorry for this young man."

"Then I wonder if I can go in and wait for Master Yan?"

"Of course, please." The young man opened the door completely, and closed the door again after the three of them entered.

The boy led the way ahead and stopped when he reached an elegant courtyard.

"The teacher is inside, young masters, please go ahead. The younger ones will go down first." The little servant smiled respectfully.

When the young man was outside the door, he said that "Master Yan" had gone to gather medicine, why did he say he was inside now?Isn't it too strange that the preface doesn't match the afterword?Xie Tiao was full of doubts in his heart, but he still remembered his duty and didn't ask aloud.On the contrary, Xia Rong, with a normal appearance, didn't seem to feel the slightest weirdness.

Mo Jue nodded and walked in first, followed by the other two.

Once inside, the courtyard was arranged neatly and neatly, but no one was in the mood to watch it at this time.Walked through the yard, walked to the door of the main room, opened the curtain, and went in directly.

The people in the room also turned around when they heard the movement.

"Young masters are well, please sit down quickly." The man was about forty years old, with a gentle temperament and the elegance of a scholar.

"Master Yan." Mo Jue called out politely.

After the two parties were seated, the servant just now brought tea quickly. After leaving, the 'Master Yan' said:

"I don't know what instructions His Highness the Crown Prince has this time?"

His Royal Highness? !Hearing this address, Xie Tiao was startled, and then quietly glanced at Mo Jue who was at the side.Seeing that he was still expressionless, he secretly looked away, and found that Xia Rong also had a normal expression.Only then did he forcefully suppress his beating heart, and secretly told himself to calm down.Since the young master didn't avoid himself, it means that he truly regarded him as one of his own.Thinking of this, joy slowly replaced shock.

"This time we are here for disaster relief, I hope Master Yan can help us with all our strength." Mo Jue took out something from his bosom, opened his hand, and presented it in front of everyone.

It is a piece of emerald green jade pendant with complicated patterns, and there is a word 'Ji' in the middle.Obviously, it is the personal belongings of the prince in summer, and it is also a symbol of power.And for the people of the prince's family, seeing this thing is like seeing the prince himself, which shows its importance.

Master Yan was taken aback for a moment, he thought it was a subordinate sent by His Royal Highness, and the other party could match the unique code.Unexpectedly, the person who arrived was holding His Highness's personal jade pendant, which shows that his identity is not what he imagined.Only now did he take a closer look at the group of three people.

Needless to say, the young man holding the jade pendant has an exquisite face, with the arrogance and reservedness unique to a nobleman, but it is like a sharp sword, hiding all dangers and tremors in the scabbard.The surface is calm, but the inside is actually dark and turbulent.

And the one on the left, with a solemn and handsome face, has an air of iron and blood honed on the battlefield, and is calm and calm, obviously he is not an ordinary person.Turning his gaze again, the little boy on the right is much more ordinary. Although he can still see his nervousness, it is obvious that he is trying his best to restrain himself and want to look normal.Of course, the effect is also significant.

In the first meeting, Master Yan has glimpsed a few people's personalities from the outside, which shows that it is not easy to be a human being.

"Seeing jade is like seeing people, grass people pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After calming down, Master Yan stroked his sleeves and was about to kneel when he stood up.

But was stopped by Mo Jue first, "The general is away, and the emperor's order is not accepted, so these vain rituals will be avoided. We still put the important things first."

"Young master is right." Master Yan also took advantage of the situation and got up and sat in his original position. "I don't know what Yan can do?"

"I wonder if Master Yan is familiar with Zhou Zhi?" Mo Jue went straight to the point.

"Zhou Zhi?"

"Yes, we are the former members of the imperial court's disaster relief team. After arriving in Min County, I found that Zhou Zhi not only did not arrange for the people from all walks of life who had fled, but also shut them out. As good as it is, I plan to use the moldy rice to make porridge. Ignore the emperor's order, and more importantly, we also found that all of this is inseparable from Qingcheng governor Liang Zong." Mo Jue's expression was serious and his tone was heavy.

After listening to that, Master Yan also had an ugly expression.

"This week, Zhou Zhineng became the magistrate of Min County because of Liangshan. A small county magistrate in the capital is not a worry. But when he arrives in the south of the Yangtze River, he is the local emperor of a county. Moreover, he has been rampant in the countryside for these years, and he has already made people angry. .It’s just that they are concerned about the big backer behind him.” Master Yan was silent for a while, knowing that Mo Jue had checked everything that could be investigated.It seems that Zhou Zhi or the Liangshan Party will not be at ease for a few days soon.Thinking of this, he felt that he finally had a role to play.But suddenly thinking that it was the fourth prince Xia Rong who brought people to rescue the disaster this time, he hesitated again. Could the person in front of him be the person arranged by the fourth prince?But as soon as this idea came up, he immediately shook his head and rejected it.Even the personal jade pendant of His Highness the Crown Prince was taken out, which shows the trust in several people.Moreover, if His Highness hadn't rewarded it personally, they have not received any news about the theft of the crown prince's jade pendant until now.

After sorting out the thoughts one by one in his mind, he re-established trust in Mo Jue and the others.

"I don't know what good strategy Master Yan has?"

"You guys, please wait a moment." Master Yan didn't answer, but said suddenly, then turned around and walked into the back room.

Mo Jue and the others looked at each other, but did not make a sound to stop them.

Not long after, Master Yan came out from inside.In his hand, he held two notebooks for bookkeeping.Walked up to Mo Jue and handed it to him.

"My lord, please look through it."

Mo Jue took it, flipped through it, and found that there were some accounts that were inconsistent with the actual accounts.And in many places, there is the autograph of the owner of the account, which is the word "Zhou Zhi".

this…

Mo Jue looked up at him.

"This is Zhou Zhi's private pockets and embezzlement over the years. The bank accounts he has filially given to Liangshan. There are also other officials who have had bank transactions with him, and they are all clearly recorded." Master Yan sat down across from him and explained. road.

"With these things, it is enough to overthrow Zhou Zhi and make a note of Liangshan."

At the other party's signal, Mo Jue put away these two important 'evidences', "Thank you, Master Yan."

"My lord, you are being polite. This is what I should do. If there is anything I can use, feel free to speak up."

Afterwards, the three of Mo Jue bid farewell to each other, and their figures quickly disappeared into the snow-covered alley.
