Be an official

After Shao Yan drank two bowls of porridge, he still didn't meet the man.

Called impatiently, "Housekeeper, Huan Luo hasn't woken up yet?" Normally at this time, when he went down to court, he would be able to have breakfast with him.

The old housekeeper stuffed a steamed bun into Shao Yan's hand, and said in surprise, "Don't you know, Mr. Chen has already left the house?"

Shao Yan was taken aback, "Going out? Early in the morning? Did he explain anything? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" It made him pretend to eat here for a long time.

"I heard that he went out of the city with Young Master Rong. My lord, Mr. Chen usually doesn't like to talk. Even if the old slave asks, he doesn't necessarily say anything."

He got up and walked back and forth impatiently, because of the erotic dream some time ago, he didn't dare to be alone with Chen Huanluo face to face for several days, because he was afraid that he would accidentally reveal those dirty thoughts in his heart?Shao Yan was depressed.

Just when Shao Yan was feeling bored, his servants rushed to report that the Jianghu people in the city fought because they met their enemies, and now they have caused several troubles in the Jianghu.

Look, you know, people in the Jianghu have a lot of things in the Jianghu.

"Jiang Xing follow me." Shao Yan immediately led people out.

As soon as I go out, I can see the common people rushing to their homes one after another, and the peddlers are also walking back and forth in the streets, trying to avoid the grievances of those heroes.

Following the direction of the crowd's upstream, the noise of fighting became louder and louder. Shao Yan stopped several people along the road to ask questions. He said that a lame man had fought with a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man had robbed his wife. Put a cuckold on the lame one.

The middle-aged man heard that he was the leader of some sect, that the lame ones became worse, and that he was the number one villain in killing people in the Jianghu, so there were a lot of people in the gang, and while they were angry, they started fighting.

Before Shao Yan arrived, he heard that the man had been poisoned, and several people were poisoned at the scene.

If it's broken, it's a big deal.

Along with Shao Yan, officers and soldiers from the government tried to maintain order, but it seemed that the effect was not good.

Shao Yan used his internal strength and shouted "Quiet" to the crowd. He suppressed it for a while, but made many people quiet down.

He walked into the crowd, and he really saw several people dressed in quackery covering their chests, with black blood on the corners of their lips, panting heavily.

"Who injected the poison?" Shao Yan looked around, but no one spoke.

He walked up to a man with a cane, "I heard that you are the one who makes troubles, why, dare to fight and make troubles at the foot of the capital, dare not admit it?"

The crippled man blushed and said, "Who are you! I didn't do it. I, Iron Palm, never dared to do such poisoning."

Immediately, someone on the opposite side quarreled, "You didn't poison it, why did we only get hit!" The person who spoke was fine, but the person he was supporting seemed to be in bad shape.

"We just passed by, but we were also poisoned."

Jiang Xing approached Shao Yan and whispered something in his ear, Shao Yan frowned.

"What can't be said! Let's listen to it."

Shao Yan looked around, walked up to the poisoned young man and asked, "Can you participate in this martial arts test?"

The young man nodded hesitantly.

Shao Yan asked a few more questions, all of which were in the same situation.He just got the news that some Jianghu people who participated in the martial arts test in the city have been poisoned one after another. The symptoms are not serious, probably not strong, but it is very strange.

Only the Jianghu people who participated in the martial arts test were poisoned, and not all of them were poisoned, but the others were not from the Jianghu people. None of them like Wei Xiao showed signs of poisoning.

Someone shouted, "Only the Jianghu people who participated in the martial arts test were poisoned. It must be the fault of those officials in the test."

Shao Yan immediately heard the sound and looked for the person, but the sound was quickly drowned in the crowd.

As soon as this sentence came out, the crowd immediately became agitated.

"This is clearly looking down on us"

"Yes, I don't think it matters if you don't take the exam."

Shao Yan frowned, "This matter hasn't been clarified yet, so it's better for everyone to say as little as possible."

"Who are you?"

"Aren't you a running dog of the government to help—" The voice of the speaker was caught in his throat, and Jiang Xing turned to look at Shao Yan.

Shao Yan looked helplessly at the officers and soldiers of the government who dared not approach in the distance, and said loudly, "With this officer here, I will definitely make decisions for everyone."

"What kind of official are you? Officials and officials are mutual, and you will definitely help them."

Shao Yan had already waved for the officers and soldiers to come over, sent the poisoned people back to the inn first, and counted the list, he stood alone, not angry but intimidating, and frowned, "I am the prime minister, I will find out the truth."

After saying that, he led Jiang Xing out of the crowd.

In the teahouse, Rong Ling poured a cup of tea for Chen Huanluo. They were not far from the troubled place, and they happened to be able to hear what was happening outside.

He looked at the man who was drinking tea and said, "Do you need to go back? The prime minister probably needs you now." Someone was poisoned, and he happened to be the doctor of the prime minister's mansion, so he should obey the prime minister's arrangements.

"For the time being, if he needs me, he will find me. I'll go out first. Do you want to join me, Young Master Rong?" Putting down the teacup, the voices outside the window dissipated, and the autumn sun was just right.

Rong Lingjun cheerfully followed behind, and asked the buddy to pack some snacks, and then took them out of the city to have a blast.

According to the statistics, there are about 27 or [-] people who were poisoned, all of them are from Jianghu, accounting for one-third of the martial arts test.The toxicity is not deep, and the doctors in the big medical center can solve it, but the stamina lasts for a long time, which makes people feel unbearable abdominal pain, and can't help but run to the latrine.

Shao Yan immediately reported the matter to the emperor, and an imperial decree came from the palace, ordering the prime minister and the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter together, and in order to take care of the poisoned candidates, they would consider postponing the second military test for a few days as appropriate.

It's just that what he couldn't figure out was why he made such a move.

In the next two days, Shao Yan was mostly in the Ministry of Punishment, and Chao Zhongren, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also went along with him. If something went wrong in the meeting, the Ministry of Officials was also responsible.

The act of poisoning is too obvious and targeted. You only need to list the itinerary of the poisoned candidates in the past few days, and you can conclude that the poisoned candidates drank the tea placed outside the venue after the exam. A person who looks like a government official distributed it outside, so the people who distributed it were targeted.

And that person was nowhere to be found.

The family bought beef buns from outside, which are rich in filling, thin in skin, fragrant and big.

After lunch, Chen Huanluo just came back from the outside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shao Yan idly walking in the hall.

The past few days were busy with the poisoning, and Chen Huanluo was often outside, and now when they met each other suddenly, he felt somewhat emotional that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Holding a plate of sweet fruits, he led people into the hall and sat down, "Try it, the sweet fruits that are tributed in the palace are not common, and they are crisp and delicious." He looked at him expectantly.

Chen Huanluo had no choice but to open his mouth and be fed a piece by him, Shao Yan asked with a smile, "How is it?"

"Ah."

Get up and want to leave.

Shao Yan held down his shoulder again.

"How are you playing these few days?"

Chen Huanluo looked up at him, his eyes darkened, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Rong... he is very nice."

Shao Yan smiled and hummed, then urged, "You are tired too, go and rest."

"it is good"

After the people left, Shao Yan returned to his expressionless face, sat on the chair, playing with the jade in his hand boredly, and Qu He came in from the outside.

"Master" saw Tianguo, his eyes were happy, and when Shao Yan was thinking about something, he squeezed one and stuffed it in his mouth.

Shao Yan frowned at him, "Speak."

Qu He wiped his hands on his sleeves, "Well, Mr. Chen had dinner with Young Lord Rong in the city two days ago, and then he would go around the nearby mountains outside the city, and sometimes he would go to Rong Mansion, and return home after dinner .In the past few days, the owner of the porcelain shop on West Street will also go to the outskirts of the city with him.”

"White Spear Rain"

"Yes, he and Young Master Rong seemed to hit it off, and they talked very happily. Mostly, Mr. Chen just listened to what they said, and didn't speak much."

Shao Yan picked up the sweet fruit and ate it, and glared at the person who was about to reach out, "Have you ever been to the west of the city?" It was the place where the ant king grass was discovered, which attracted a lot of people from the rivers and lakes.

Qu He shook his head, "No, Mr. Chen probably doesn't like places with many people, but Bai Zhaoyu and Young Master Rong have mentioned it several times, it seems that Young Master Rong has friends who come here for this name."

Shao Yan nodded, gave him a glance, and Qu Hemei happily picked up the leftover sweet fruit to eat, and said while eating, "Master, did you quarrel with Mr. Chen?"

Shao Yan frowned, "No, how can you tell?"

Is there a quarrel? No.

Qu He thought about it hard, "A few days ago, Mr. Chen came back very late one night, but he was still a little earlier than the master. It seems that he drank a lot of wine."

Shao Yan was taken aback, then immediately got angry, and reprimanded in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Huan Luo doesn't like drinking, and he rarely touched him in his previous life.

For those who like wine, it is the taste of drinking.

For those who don't like it, it's just to hangover and worry.

Shao Yan regretted not being able to watch him fall asleep with his own eyes that day, and now he is afraid that if he mentions it again, that person will not tell him.

Asking Qu He to retreat, Shao Yan thought about things silently.

Outside the gazebo in the courtyard, Jiang Xing and Jiang Yue squatted on the ground to pick up the bones, having a great time playing, Jiang Xing fed him with small snacks from time to time.

In the gazebo, Chen Huanluo was sitting in the pavilion with his medical skills in his hands, in a daze.

Gu Gu rumbled into the pavilion, Chen Huanluo bent down to pick it up, walked over, and squatted down to watch them play, waiting for Jiangyue to fall, and then pass it to him to play.

There was no conversation, and the day passed peacefully.
