Fantastic scenery

The next day, Huo Tailing was called into the palace, Fang Shu took advantage of his absence, went to a detention place in the backyard to find the two siblings, seeing Fang Shu, Ji Yue didn't say much although she had a bad face What, he stood silently behind Ji Rong.

"Brother Fuyan! Are you okay, then Huo Tailing didn't make things difficult for you!!"

Ji Rong, who was about to pounce on Fang Shu through the iron fence, was carried back by Ji Yue, "Your brother is behind you!"

Fang Shu walked with a limp, but fortunately his expression was passable, "It's nothing, but why don't you die, come to find Huo Tailing."

Ji Rong then explained the cause and effect. When Zhanyu was in power, in order not to let his brothers live in the plight of the rivers and lakes and the government's siege, he began to actively cut off the underground business and turn it into a serious business, no longer engaged in human trafficking, and underground gambling Zhuang, a brothel workshop.But Zhanyu fell in love with the talented girl Yan Ruting and was involved in official struggles, and was hunted down by Jin Yiwei, and now there is no trace. Dongmang, who used to be the only follower of Zhanyu, showed his true nature and colluded with the government to decapitate the head of the Nine Lotus Sect. The book was handed over to the government, and the Nine Lotus Sect became the government's eagle claws in the rivers and lakes, and he was supported as the leader. All brothers were not free, and most of them resented Dong Mang, but they dared not speak out. Those who resisted were wiped out because of the headbook.A few days ago, Huo Tailing copied Diansiyuan, but Dong Mang was so angry that he ordered people to chase him down. Unexpectedly, Xiao Si was among them, and Huo Tailing and Wen Xuanqing died tragically.

"You guys...are so foolish that you come here to assassinate without regard for your own safety? Ji Rong, is it your bad idea that your brother followed you around!"

Ji Yue's face turned yellow, coughed twice, and then said coldly: "The disappearance of the leader has something to do with Huo Tailing."

"What's the matter?"

Ji Yue: "In the battle at Geshan, the leader was severely injured by Zeng Lingtian, and he escaped by chance. He ran into Huo Tailing as soon as he arrived at the foot of Mount Geshan. Fortunately, my sister and I arrived in time and resisted for a while, giving the leader a chance to escape. Unfortunately, the two of us lost and were knocked to the ground. We saw him chasing the leader in the direction where the leader escaped. Later, we couldn't find the whereabouts of the leader. Thinking that he probably knew about it, we urgently need the leader to come back and ask brothers to save us from the fire. .”

"Didn't it mean that Huo Tailing didn't participate in the Geshan strangling case?" Fang Shu turned his head and seemed to understand a little bit.

"If the leader dies in the hands of Huo Tailing, we will also take revenge! Whoever blocks and kills whoever!"

Fang Shu got dizzy when he heard that, "I will help you investigate Zhanyu's whereabouts, and I will find a way to let you go. I just ask you to be quiet for a while."

Ji Rong was overjoyed when she heard it, "I said Brother Fang would help us! I followed Huo Tailing in the city yesterday and didn't recognize you at all, so I almost hurt you by mistake. By the way... Fang Brother, why didn’t you see Erliang with you!?”

Ji Yue said abruptly, "Maybe he's dead!"

"Brother! Why are you so hostile to others!" Ji Rong got angry and pinched Ji Yue hard.

"Your brother is afraid that you will be abducted by others. Erliang has something to go out now... I will tell him the news about you when I have time."

On the same day Erliang came to look for Fangshu, saying that Baohonglin's side had gradually stabilized and wanted to come back to the young master's side.

"Help me with something else." Fang Shu looked at Qi Naozi behind him, and said to him, "And you."

"Me? What's the matter?", Qi Naozi was suddenly mentioned by Fang Shu, a little 'flattered'.

Fang Shu slowly told about Ji Rong and Ji Yue's affairs, and then shared his plan.

When Qi Naozi heard this, his legs trembled in fright, "This is impossible! If Mr. Huo knows, he will either die or be disabled!"

"This pretty Phalaenopsis, I can be a matchmaker." Fang Shu saw his doubts, "Also, I can keep you safe."

"You said it! Mr. Fang, I respect you, and I will believe you this time. If you sell your favor, you must not cheat me!" Qi Naozi comforted himself, "As long as you are willing to speak, Mr. Huo will also It can't be done."

Erliang nodded in agreement, but felt a little uncomfortable looking at the relationship between the new master and servant in front of him.

That night, Qi Naozi set a pavilion on fire near the backyard and started shouting, "Fire!! Fire!!!"

Attracting the attention of most of the guards in the mansion, Erliang rescued him effortlessly and brought him to a remote mansion in Baohonglin, the capital city. Except for the two guards, there was basically no one here, and Bao Honglin also gave orders, so this place temporarily became a shelter for the two brothers and sisters.

When Huo Tailing returned to the mansion, he heard the news that the two assassins had escaped. He was in a good mood at first, but now he was covered in dust. Hearing the cause and effect, he asked someone to summon Qi Naozi.

Before the people who went to summon Qi Naozi left the lobby, Fang Shu paced in, "Don't go, I'll talk to Mr. Huo first."

The man's eyes shuttled between the two, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"You go down first, I'll hear what Mr. Fang wants to tell me?"

As soon as the person left, Fang Shu didn't care about it anymore, and chose a cushioned chair to sit down. As soon as he touched the cushion, his facial features wrinkled in pain, and he stood up after a while.

Huo Tailing felt a little guilty, "I went to Huimin Pharmacy to ask for some medicine for this purpose." He took out an ointment from his bosom while talking, and he was laughed at by the people in Tai Hospital After a long time, he also taught some techniques for entering the back door.

He wanted to get closer to Fang Shu, but Fang Shu subconsciously took two steps back, Huo Tailing became restless.

"Don't you have something to say? You are the one who let them go!" When he said this, his tone was not cold and his expression was not ferocious.

Fang Shu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, this bitter trick played a role, "It's me."

"You're really good, Qi Liang was bribed by you! See if I don't break his leg!"

"Listen to me first..." Fang Shu told him all about the situation of the Nine Lotus Sect, "We can help disband the Nine Lotus Sect, Zhao Zhigao and his group will lose their pawns, Dongchang and Jinyiwei secretly fight You’ll also lose some confidence.”

After hearing this, Huo Tailing laughed, "Little concubine...you are really my good 'wife helper'!" Huo Tailing wrapped his arms around his waist forcefully and kissed him on the forehead.

"But I really don't know the whereabouts of that Zhanyu. When I chased him, he disappeared. Who would have thought that the blind man would run so fast."

Fang Shu frowned and asked, "Is he blind?"

Huo Tailing nodded, "Yes, he was blinded by Wen Xuanqing's poison, and looking for him is probably just a waste."

"It's not that you didn't go to encircle and suppress Zhanyu at the beginning, but why did you go again in the end? You couldn't worry about Mr. Zeng and Mr. Wen. In the end, you didn't continue to chase and kill them. It wasn't because you couldn't find them, but because you were worried about their safety on Geshan. Turn back?"

Huo Tailing's face was embarrassed by what he said, he let go of Fang Shu's arms, and turned his back, "Don't think you know everything!"

Fang Shu laughed, a little helplessly, "Your feelings for them haven't changed at all." But he didn't remember me.

"The emperor summoned you to enter the palace in two days. Don't worry, it's a good thing." Huo Tailing paused, "Qi Liang will be punished no matter what! Don't let me know the whereabouts of those two assassins. Couldn't help but kill them."

As a result, Qi Naozi didn't keep his buttocks, and was beaten twenty times, his skin was ripped apart, and blood flowed from his pussy.

In the end, Qi Naozi lost the strength to stare at others.

When Fang Shu entered his room, he cried and complained all the time that Fang Shu didn't mean anything, and never believed in him anymore, "I should have thought of it... someone must be responsible, how could Mr. Huo punish him?" You?! It can only be me! What bad luck! Mr. Huo will definitely guard against me in everything in the future!! What am I trying to do?!"

Fang Shu was giving him medicine at first, but when he heard him complaining non-stop, the guilt in his heart was dispelled by him, "Stop howling! I'm giving you medicine now!"

After knocking on the door twice, Huang Yong's voice came, "Master Fang...Master Huo is waiting for you in your room."

Fang Shu's heart palpitated, he just said: "I'm busy, you let him go back."

"Master Fang...don't embarrass the little ones. Master Huo asked me to give Qi Liang medicine."

After hearing this, Qi Naozi cried out, "Ouch... Master Huo still remembers me! Master Fang, get the hell out of here! Don't trouble me anymore!"

With a slap, Fang Shu slapped him on the buttocks, neither light nor heavy, but the pain made Qi Naozi burst into tears, "Well...how can you be a snake-hearted man!"

Huang Yong had no choice but to push the door and enter. Behind him was a large group of guards standing in a row. Qi Naozi's buttocks became meat on the chopping board, allowing everyone to watch.

Fang Shu put down the medicine bottle, "Come and wipe it for him."

Qi Naozi screamed louder, and the group of reckless men didn't know how to attack. Their feelings were treating his wound as a test product.

Back in the room, Huo Tailing just said that today he has arranged for people from the sixth department and the people from Dali Temple, and the court will be lively in two days.

Two days later, Fang Shu was wearing an official uniform custom-made by Huo Tailing, a two-beam court crown on his head, a plain silver belt, and a green robe with embroidered 鸂鶒 on the front and back. Seeing the back of the scarlet flying fish on the jujube-colored horse, at the gate of Wuwu, Huo Tailing got off the horse and walked to the side of the sedan chair and said to Fang Shu: "I won't go in, I have made all the arrangements, and now I have other things to deal with. "

Fang Shu nodded and got out of the sedan chair. A father-in-law came to pick up Fang Shu at Wumen Gate, "Master Fang~ this way please!"

Fang Shu turned his head to look at Huo Tailing, who was also looking at himself, and felt relieved.

The Forbidden City is huge, and Fang Shu has never been so deep before. He followed his father-in-law around the red and low palaces, and passed through the white-walled palaces.

Passing by the imperial garden, I saw a young man in white who was holding a wooden ladle and fell to the ground. The father-in-law and court ladies did not dare to come forward to help him. Zhu Changluo, whom mother dare not love.

Before Chunwei last year, Erliang had been asked to collect court information, and Fang Shu had seen Zhu Changluo's portrait, so he naturally recognized it.

The father-in-law who led the way saw Fang Shu stop, and urged: "Master Fang~ Your Majesty and all the adults are waiting."

Mr. Fang couldn't lift his feet to leave. He strode into the imperial garden and stretched out his hand to Zhu Changluo. Only then did Zhu Changluo see this man.

Without thinking about it, he stretched out his hand, and was pulled up by Fang Shu.

"I sprained my ankle, take him to take care of it." After Fang Shu finished speaking, he looked back at Zhu Changluo, and then left with his father-in-law Lu.

Zhu Changluo glanced at his hands, the fingertips were still warm from the man, and he slowly pressed his hands to his chest.

"Lord Fang~ You shouldn't worry about this matter! That was the eldest prince just now, he offended the third prince, and was punished by Concubine Zheng to work! Don't offend Concubine Zheng!"

The father-in-law was in the front, turning his head while walking and exhorting him, for fear that Fang Shu would not understand the forbidden secret of the palace.

"How did you offend the Third Prince?"

"I heard that when I was in the study today, the teacher of the two princes, Mrs. Li, fell ill and was unable to come to teach. The two princes waited for too long, and the eldest prince was so hungry that he fainted, and accidentally spilled the third prince. ink, and the third prince's robe was stained."

With a little excuse, Concubine Zheng's mother and son would seize the opportunity to punish Zhu Changluo, the rumors are true.

Fang Shu nodded sullenly and stopped talking.

Passing by the Imperial Garden, Fang Shu was led to the Xuexue Pavilion, where you can enjoy the scenery, you can see most of the scenery of the Imperial Garden, the current Holy Majesty is sitting directly above, wearing a golden dragon robe, the aura is not angry and majestic, on the right side of the Holy Majesty It was Shen Yiguan, with his usual cunning face, just smiling all the time, and when he saw Fang Shu approaching, he smiled even brighter, "Ouch! Long time no see, Mr. Fang!"

Fang Shu knelt down on one knee and bowed, "Join the Emperor!"

"Get up quickly, there is no one else, there is no need for so many etiquettes, sit down quickly."

Fang Shu is located below, "Long time no see Master Shen!"

Presumably, Shen Yiguan must have known from Li Zheng that he knew their secret, and he could still flatter them like this.

Shenzong reached out his hand to signal the snacks on the table, "Master Fang, eat some snacks first, and Master Li Daili will be here soon."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Shu raised his sleeves and stretched out his fingers to pick up a piece of apricot cake, biting his silver teeth, none of the crumbs dripped.

After a while, Dai Li also came and saluted. He smiled at Fang Shu with a vague meaning, and then sat down.

"Today, I would like to trouble my lords to come here. I have nothing else to do. I just want to talk to you. You don't have to be cautious, especially Mr. Fang. It's the first time you enter the palace. Don't be too nervous. I am a more casual person." , After finishing speaking, Shenzong gestured to the maid standing beside him, and refilled a cup of tea for the three gentlemen.

"Master Shen, Lord Li, among the few of us, the youngest is Mr. Fang, looking really radiant and unrestrained!"

The two nodded in agreement.

"Where, you are too young and have too little experience, please forgive me, my lords!"

Dai Li sighed, "Where is it! I always think, if I have such a son, the grave will be smoked!"

Shen Yiguan: "Master Li, aren't you taking advantage of Mr. Fang?! The sons of your family are not bad, warriors and literati are all proud!"

Dai Li remained silent.

"I have heard from Wen Xuanqing and Huo Tailing that Mr. Fang is extremely appreciative. Mr. Liu, who returned to Beijing before, talked about Mr. Fang with admiration, but he also mentioned one thing, let him I really love and hate Mr. Fang!" Shenzong remembered what Liu Dadao said, laughed, and slapped the table while laughing, his majesty was gone.

Fang Shu was very embarrassed, Liu Dadao was going to publicize to the world.

The four of them chatted about trivial matters, and then they mentioned the education of the princes. Dai Li sighed, "Then Mrs. Li is old, and fainted occasionally before. Now it is really time to retire and return home to take care of her old age."

Shenzong raised his eyebrows, not paying much attention, and said: "I remember Taifu Li taught Korean? I heard Master Liu said that Fang Shu's Korean is also quite fluent. Why don't Master Fang be this gentleman? Be a master Fang?" "

Fang Shu was unwilling in his heart. He didn't work so hard to be a teacher. Before he could figure out how to answer, Dai Li robbed him of the conversation.

"Your Majesty, this Mr. Korean language is supposed to select people with both ability and political integrity from the Shiyi Eighteen Halls, and Mr. Fang is just an editor of the Imperial Academy. This may not be appropriate."

Shenzong raised his forehead, "Oh, what's the point? Didn't Mr. Han Qishen die in North Korea? Giving Mr. Han's official position to Mr. Fang is also regarded as an apprentice's apprenticeship. I think... it is also regarded as a deed to Mr. Han." Remembered."

Shen Yiguan said aside: "It's still the emperor's arrangement!"

Han Qishen is Mr. Han, Fang Shu almost forgot the name of his mentor.

Fang Shu cupped his hands, "Thank you Long'en! Kuangfu has the important task of educating the prince, and the next official is obliged to do so."

Shenzong smiled and nodded, "Master Fang not only looks like a god, but also has outstanding military exploits, he is also sensible and understands the general situation. No wonder Master Huo has also committed a mess."

"What did Mr. Huo do wrong?" Shen Yiguan asked anxiously.

Shenzong laughed, "My lords may not believe me when I say it. It's funny to say this. I hope Lord Huo doesn't blame me."

Shen Yiguan: "The emperor has also learned how to play tricks!"

"I'm afraid you don't believe me. Mr. Huo asked me to marry him, and he asked Mr. Fang to be his concubine. If he hadn't drank some wine with me, I would have thought he was serious. But think about it...he wouldn't Are you serious, Mr. Fang?"

Shen Yiguan said with a livid face, "Master Huo's words are always like thunder, so he can't take it seriously."

Shenzong stared straight at Shen Yiguan, "Master Shen may not know Master Huo, he has always acted like a storm, but he seldom jokes, and even if he does, he must be sure of it."

Fang Shu's face was like still water, and his heart was like waves. How could he have thought that Huo Tailing could really talk about this matter, saying: "This wine is a turbid brain. It must be that Mr. Huo was a little delirious, so he said such nonsense , but I do have some personal relationship with Mr. Huo, something happened the day before yesterday, and now I am living in Mr. Huo's house."

Shenzong laughed, "Looking at the friendship in the battle, it's really different. I've heard Master Huo say about this. This Bailian will assassinate the imperial court official. We must do our best to investigate it. It's too arrogant."

Li Dai and Shen Yiguan both turned pale, and their palms under the table were sweaty.

"Heaven has its own justice, and it will definitely come to light. Don't worry about it." Fang Shu changed the subject, "This palace apricot cake is really delicious, fragrant and crisp."

The four of them chatted about other things, and before they knew it, it was noon. Shenzong was a little sleepy, and before leaving, he turned around and said to Li and Chen, "It's better to be an elder and take good care of you." When you look at God, everything is in your eyes.

Before Fang Shu came to leave in a hurry, he was called by Shen Yiguan, "Lord Fang, stay here first, I have something to talk to you with Master Li."

This is the purpose of today's conversation, so Fang Shu sat down again.

"Please speak, my lords, and my servant is listening."

Shen Yiguan waved to the maids and guards behind him, and they all retreated.

"Everyone understands, so I won't go around the corner anymore. The Bailianhui has a lot to do with it." Shen Yiguan's old fox's smile gradually faded, "It never occurred to me that Li Zheng's money for nomination for the gold list was traded with the Bailianhui. Since he entered the government, he has been using money to open up the relationship between the upper and lower levels. It was a wrong step that made Bai Lianhui more arrogant to search for people's wealth and formed a parasitic relationship. Some time ago, Lord Lin Yang was going to send people to encircle and suppress, but Li Zhenghe Bai Lianhui threatened the lives of the whole family and forced him to withdraw the order. That's why he lost his life. Master Li and I were also involved in this matter, and we only found out about it recently. I just accepted a crisp jade fan from Li Zheng, and I am also old, so I was dazzled by this fan used by Su Dongpo, so I talked about the general scope of the palace examination."

As soon as he came up, he fully confessed, and the roundabout politeness that Fang Shu had organized in his stomach for a long time was completely useless, so he stopped talking and saw what they were going to sing.

Dai Li looked even more distressed, "This unworthy son who bullied his master and destroyed his ancestors! I will punish him for his father's kindness and what he has learned all his life."

Fang Shu still didn't say a word.

Shen Yiguan: "Master Fang knows about this matter, so it's inconvenient to make a big fuss about it. Both parties benefit, so it's better for everyone to take a step back. Master Li is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so I can find a position for you and let Master Fang show his strength." official position."

Dai Li nodded in agreement, "Naturally, Mr. Fang is a dragon and phoenix among people. It is a blessing for the court to have Mr. Fang work. If you want Mr. Fang to show his skills, Liubu is a good place to go."

Just these few words, even though he agreed with Fangshu, it also made him feel cold all over his body. You can make a decision.

Now the imperial court is like a sick man, whose appearance is sound and his limbs are sound, and his heart disease has already occurred.

Fang Shu: "What position do you two adults think I am qualified for?"

"Minister of the Ministry of War?" Shen Yiguan secretly felt that Fang Shu's appetite would not be small, and as soon as he came up, a big piece of meat came.

Fang Shu shook his head, "Master Xing Jie is still angry with me because of his anti-corruption, will I be put on shoes?"

Only then did Shen Yiguan remember that Fang Shu said bad things about Xing Jie.

Fang Shu said neither humble nor overbearing, "This official position is too big to bear, and it will be enough to give it to a small official in the sixth department. How about giving it to Shizhong in the criminal department?"

Shen Yiguan was a little confused. The six departments were not big officials, but they still had power. The superiors could scold the emperor, and the inferiors could insult hundreds of officials. They were used for supervision. If they had power, they could not make any decisions.

Dai Li made a decision, "This is a trivial matter, but I only do it for the middle of the day. I'm afraid I've wronged Mr. Fang."

"Don't be wronged, please trouble Mr. Li."

Shen Yiguan thought for a while, "Mr. Fang's previous corner mansion can no longer be used for people, and now he lives in Mr. Huo's mansion again. It is really aggrieved and shabby. Something happened to Mr. Lin, and his family members also returned to their hometown in Shaanxi. The Zhongxian Residence happens to be vacant, and Mr. Fang can just move in."

"Master Shen is thoughtful, and I am very grateful to you."

Shen Yiguan laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Where the hell is it, we all need to be of the same mind in the future."
