That Zuodu censor, Pan Nian, relied on his relationship with the Empress Dowager's natal family. He had attended Taishi Yu before, and the paper was torn up by Taishi Yu before it was handed over to the emperor.Grand Master Yu had already disliked him, and this time something happened again.The case presented after the Ministry of Criminal Justice's investigation dismissed Yu Xingye completely, and only said that the murderer planted the blame, and somehow caught someone to make up for the dead ghost, but was recognized by the witnesses at the time.Pan Nian refused, and insisted that Yu Xingye connived at his male favorite's murder, deliberately concealed him, and asked the emperor to order a new investigation. He was completely desperate.

Not to mention that Yu Taishi had some quarrels with Pan Nian in the court, he was very protective of Yu Xingye, even if Yu Xingye really condoned the murder, he would stop him, not to mention Yu Xingye was framed this time.Sending Yu Xingye to Qixia Mountain, away from the political center of Jinling, was the selfish protection of Grand Master Yu.

"That's the incompetence of the Ministry of Punishment, unable to catch the murderer, and came up with such a way to steal the sky." The emperor didn't dare to offend the Grand Master, so he only punished the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment for incompetence, and temporarily replaced him with a servant named Wen Yi. He took up the post of Shangshu and thoroughly investigated the matter.

Wen Shilang was newly appointed, and with the momentum of thunder, he dug deep and fiercely, and found out that Pan Zhengqing, the son of Pan Nian, was drunk and accidentally killed a dancing girl.Continue to investigate and find out that Pan Zhengqing once took a woman who was betrothed as a concubine. The man was a poor scholar with no power and no power. He refused to cancel the engagement and was beaten to death by Pan Zhengqing.After entering the mansion, the woman couldn't bear Pan Zhengqing's abuse and committed suicide.

And the identity of this beautiful boy is the younger brother of this woman.

Now it has become Pan Nianzong's murder, bullying men and women, and his younger brother avenging his sister, which is only right and proper.This matter spread to the market, and was compiled into dozens of jokes by the storyteller, who talked about it in teahouses and restaurants every day.

After further investigation, it was found that Pan Nian himself had lost money to his son and settled the matter. Things exploded.

Now, Pan Nian, the censor of Zuodu, failed to file a complaint and was instead demoted for investigation.

It was evening, and the evening smoke was slowly rising in the mountains. Yao Ximu was lying on a rock beside a gurgling stream in Qixia Mountain, holding a snack box in his arms, eating snacks leisurely.

"Looked for you everywhere, but you ran here to hide for leisure." Yu Xingye sat down next to him, squeezed a honey-soaked crabapple fruit from the food box, and threw it in his mouth.I thought it tasted good, so I ate a few more.

Yao Ximu asked him: "Do you also like sweets?"

"The days are too bitter, so I like to eat some sweet tonic."

"Nonsense." Yao Ximu turned over and sat up, his black and white eyes were full of disbelief: "You are living in the grand master's mansion, and you dare to say that life is hard, who would believe it?"

"Yeah, I don't even believe it." Yu Xingye stood up, turned his head to Yao Ximu and said, "There's news from Jinling that Pan Nian was demoted to Fangling for investigation."

"I don't understand anything about officialdom, and it feels more complicated than Jianghu."

"Jianghu and temples are places of right and wrong. Where there are people, conspiracy and calculations are inseparable. As long as you do what you do is worthy of your heart..." Yu Xingye paused at this point, and sighed: "It is futile to be innocent. Who can be alone? Impossible."

Yao Ximu nodded half-understood, Yu Xingye touched Yao Ximu's head with a smile, thinking he was a good listener: "Sometimes I feel very depressed in my heart, but now I'm okay, I can tell you say."

"I know this feeling. There are so many things in my heart that I can't say, and there is no one to say."

"How did you know?"

"I..." Yao Ximu scratched his head, a little confused, but still calm on the surface: "I can't say it, I do that sometimes." He was still wary of Yu Xingye, unwilling to tell the whole truth.

Yu Xingye glanced at him, and then said: "Since you think it's complicated, then I'll say it straight. His Majesty the Emperor looks cowardly, but he is actually a man of great means. He doesn't want to be left alone by his father all the time, so he secretly cultivated a few cronies , placed in the court. This time we cooperated with him and made a scene, the purpose of which was to get the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments to step down and replace him with his people. Pan Nian is narrow-minded, and he will be retribution, and he was demoted after the loss of his son. My father hates it to the core. He dared to write a letter of impeachment before, and he had already obtained a lot of evidence behind his back, but the time was not right, and the emperor dared not act rashly. This time Pan Nian wants to stand up, so he can only wait for the opportunity."

"Then we'll create an opportunity for him."

"Yes, soon."

"By the way, how do you know that the emperor cultivates his cronies and can cooperate with him?"

"There are also our people in the palace."

"Us?" Yao Ximu touched his chest subconsciously: "Are you referring to the descendants of Qionglang Sect?"

"Yes."

"Why are they all willing to do these things?"

"At the beginning, my mother worked hard and painstakingly to arrange it. Of course, there were also those disobedient descendants." Yu Xingye took out a brown pill from nowhere, popped it out between his fingers, and landed lightly on it. Palm: "Use this."

"what is this?"

"Qinglingdan, something extracted from the fruit of the poppy, is five times purer than the drugs that can be bought on the black market. If you don't take it regularly, you will feel as if you have thousands of ants biting your heart when you sit up. Life would be worse than death. "

Yao Ximu shuddered: "The ghost poppy of the Qionglang Sect..."

"The flowers of ghost poppies are bigger and more beautiful than ordinary poppies. That place is called the Sea of ​​Worry." Yu Xingye said with a smile, "It's a beautiful sea of ​​flowers. Being in it can make people forget their worries."

"you've been to?"

"I don't have the key to open the treasure, how can I go?"

Yao Ximu was a little scared: "This thing can control people's hearts, it's too scary."

"The only thing that can control people's hearts is people's hearts, nothing else." Yu Xingye said flatly: "I don't want to think about how there is a better way to bring him down."

As it was getting dark, Yao Ximu got up, stretched his waist, and said to Yu Xingye: "You are his own son. I thought you were going to bring down Grand Master Yu because he treated you badly, and you hated him in your heart. But I saw that he was very kind to you, and he was afraid that you would be implicated if you stayed in Jinling, so he specially asked you to come here to relax. But he doesn't know what you're doing behind the scenes, so treating your father like you is considered unfilial?"

"What if it's your father?"

"Me?" Yao Ximu murmured: "If my father is a bad guy..." He frowned and looked up at Yu Xingye: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been a dilemma. When you do these things, you must not feel very good, right? "

After hearing this, Yu Xingye was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to answer him. He couldn't tell Yao Ximu about the old things about his parents' grievances. past.The light of the sun was completely obscured by the mountains and haze. The moment when the yin and yang intersected between the sky and the earth, everything was building up, and in the blurred night, Yao Ximu couldn't see the pain and entanglement on Yu Xingye's face.

Yao Ximu didn't know where Yu Xingye had arranged someone. In his original consciousness, Yu Xingye was an extremely dangerous person, but in front of him, Yu Xingye was always smiling and gentle, as gentle as a spring breeze.

After staying in Qixia Mountain for a while, Yu Xingye brought Yao Ximu back to Taishi Mansion.It was hotter in the city than in the mountains, and she wore less clothes when she slept. Yao Ximu refused to have physical contact with Yu Xingye, so on the first night when he came back, he hugged a quilt and made a bed on the floor.

Yu Xingye was lying on the edge of the bed, watching him being kicked, a large area of ​​snow-white belly was exposed.Silently carried him back to the bed, and went to sleep in another room by himself.

Rumors began to spread in the family that the eldest son and Yao Yao slept in separate rooms, and Yao Yao was about to fall out of favor.After sleeping in a separate room for two days, Yu Xingye was listening to an opera at home, and saw a little opera singer who was so cute, so he took him to bed that night.

Yao Yao Buyi got into a fight with Yu Xingye in a fit of anger, and Yu Xingye drove him back to Xunluyuan in Shengyuanfang. Yao Yao fell out of favor completely.

It is a trivial matter to fall out of favor without falling out of favor. There was a major event that caused Grand Master Yu a headache—Jiayehou, who had been detained in Jinling, was rescued.When Taishi Yu was upset, he weighed the pros and cons and planned to arrest him.

This matter is not publicized, so we can only ask people in the Jianghu to handle it.

It just so happened that Jiang Wanzhou left the matter of the treasure to Baihe envoy He Si, and went to Jinling to look for Yao Ximu.As soon as he arrived in Jinling, he was arrested by Taishi Yu and asked him to help chase Jiayehou back.Jiang Wanzhou sent word-chasing orders to the various branches of Luomei Villa, and news soon came out that Jiayehou was escorted to Xingzhou. , without blocking success.

Xingzhou was not far away, Jiang Wanzhou didn't send anyone, but went there in person, because he was in a hurry to finish this matter and go to Yao Ximu.He crossed Xingzhou with the dark fragrance Liuhe, and when he was about to catch up with Jiayehou, several people turned and galloped towards them.

All of these people covered their faces, and Jiang Wanzhou kept a close eye on one of them. He was very familiar with this person, with a familiar body shape and movement skills.

With a sound of "choke and clang", the man's sword has been unsheathed - that is dawn.

This person is Yao Ximu!

Yao Ximu didn't say a word, and all his moves pointed at the vital point without mercy.The sword's edge was extremely fast, like the wind, and Yao Ximu also turned into the wind, blowing from any place in all directions.

His martial arts has improved again, Jiang Wanzhou looked at his nimble figure like a flying swallow, thought of the warmth and suppleness of his skin, all the previous resentment and annoyance disappeared, and just wanted to hold him in his arms.

It's been a long time since I saw him. Jiang Wanzhou misses him. Jiang Wanzhou thinks a lot these days.Regarding Yao Ximu's repeated voluntary escapes, he reflected on himself and admitted that he was not good. He has always been fair and reasonable in dealing with people and things, with clear rewards and punishments.

Only Yao Ximu was really harsh.

When Yao Ximu was 13 years old, he left the villa and had no money, so he pretended to be a beggar all the way to Jinling.When I arrived in Jinling, I just had a meal in Shengyuanfang, and I didn't make too much noise, but I was slapped by myself and sent to Crane Valley.

The young self was furious because she couldn't stand Yao Ximu leaving without even saying hello.Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at the time.

Regarding Taishi Yu's matter, he was also at fault. If he had explained to Yao Ximu early in the morning, maybe he would not be so angry.Later, he shouldn't be locked up with a chain, it's too insulting, Jiang Wanzhou thought that if he was treated like that, he would definitely kill him, no matter how much he likes someone.

He couldn't figure out why he always lost control in front of Yao Ximu again and again, thinking about things from childhood to adulthood over and over again, and Jiang Wanzhou gradually understood - it made him worry about it again and again, and he couldn't let it go. Only Yao Ximu was alone.He couldn't stand Yao Ximu leaving him.He let go of Yao Ximu's hand again and again because he knew that Yao Ximu would definitely take the initiative to hold her.He wanted Yao Ximu to truly grow into his right-hand man, who would always be by his side, waiting for life and death.

Unexpectedly, this time Yao Ximu really hurt from the fall and refused to follow him anymore. Now he not only refused to follow him, but drew his sword to face him as soon as they met.

Why is it like this?

Is it because you are angry that you don't want to avenge him?But then again, Luomei Villa and Grand Master Yu had no grievances, why did they sacrifice the future of the villa and do such a thankless thing?
