Placid Chang'an

Su Cen didn't have a lot of things, and after handing over the work of being the chief bookkeeper in one morning, the criminal cases he sorted out in the past dynasties were almost finished. In the new study.Now it seems that Zhang Jun has no plans to let him take over the new case, and he will continue to organize it in his free time.

This Song Jiancheng couldn't do anything else, but the study was neatly tidied up, several pots of precious orchids were planted on the window sills, and the fragrance of the flowers was far away and endless.

Su Cen sniffed the Lan Xiang and copied the case, distracted for a moment, Tianshou copied it into Yonglong, then remembered that all the cases in Yonglong's reign were sorted out, and just about to tear off the wrong one, Su Cen couldn't help being stunned .

Looking at all the cases handled by Dali Temple during the Yonglong period, Tian Pingzhi was not mentioned in a word.

Uncle Tian said that Chen Guanglu, who was then Dali Shaoqing, took over the case, but there was no record in Yonglong's 22-year file.

Su Cen found all the original files, read them word by word, and even found the files from the first year of Tianshou and read them again.

No, not only is there no Tian Pingzhi, but there are also no words such as Gongyuan, Kekao, and Shizi.

Chen Guanglu searched for more than a month to find out what exactly caused all the records to be erased.

In the 22nd year of Yonglong... the scientific research, the death of Emperor Taizong, the succession of the first emperor, the Turkic crime... a lot of big things happened.

Su Cen suddenly remembered something, flipped through the cases that had just been sorted out, and finally found two pages at the bottom.

It was the list of academic officials sent by the Ministry of Rites that day. Su Cen searched for each name one by one, and couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw the end.

There is a name missing.

Su Cen appeared in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites again, and everyone in the Ministry of Rites stared at him as if they were looking at the plague god.

The last time this person came over, he disturbed the Ministry of Rites, and everyone spent a whole day with him in the moldy warehouse of the Ministry of Rites. Not to mention his hard work, he was impeached by Yu Shitai on the second day, saying that their files were messy. Unable to efficiently coordinate various matters, he was forced to come back to file and create books, and he was busy in the warehouse for half a month before he came out... Well, this young master came again in a hurry.

Su Cen calmly drank a pot of tea under the watchful eyes of everyone, and waited for He Zhongqing, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to come over, and asked, "How did you get the list of officials for the scientific research that day?"

"It's just based on the test papers of the scientific examination back then, why, what's wrong?" He Zhongqing felt like facing an enemy.

Su Cen smiled: "Thank you."

Watched by everyone in the Ministry of Rites, he strode out the door, leaving everyone with blank faces looking at each other.

The list is based on the examination papers of that year, and those without names naturally have no examination papers.

So where did the test papers of the number one scholar at that time——Liu Jue go?

After waiting in the office, Su Cen waited until everyone had left before getting up, first quietly glanced at the door to make sure that Qi Lin was not standing outside, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Li Shi really did what he said, or maybe he didn't take it to heart at all, maybe now that Zhengjia is by his side, he has long forgotten who he is.

Back at the house, the hibiscus has grown a lot taller in front of the door, and the flower bone can be seen faintly.

Su Cen opened the door and went in. Ah Fu was cleaning the yard, arguing with Qu Ling'er from time to time, when he heard the sound of the courtyard door, he couldn't help but look back, and immediately froze in place.

"Second Young Master..."

Su Cen smiled and said, "Why, don't you know me?"

Ah Fu put down the broom and rushed forward, wanted to pull Su Cen's sleeves but thought his hands were dirty, he hesitated for a long time before rubbing his hands and said: "Second Young Master...Second Young Master, you are back, if you don't come back, I will report to the police... ...Oh, second young master, you are an official... But Ling'er said that it is useless to report to the official, have you offended some important person, do you need me to pack your luggage? If we can't, let's go back to our hometown in Suzhou to hide..."

Su Cen smiled and patted the man on the shoulder.

Ah Fu's eyes were full of tears: "Second young master, have you been wronged outside? Look at you, you have lost weight."

Su Cen: "...Aren't you blind?"

It's hard to say whether he was wronged or not. He eats a lot of fish and meat every day in Xingqing Palace, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be thin.

Ah Fu didn't care at all: "Second Young Master, what do you want to eat, Ah Fu will make it for you."

"...just porridge and side dishes."

Ah Fu responded to the vocal music and went to prepare, walked to Qu Linger and pulled Qu Linger up from the reclining chair, "The second young master is back, you pour a cup of tea for the second young master."

Qu Ling'er looked reluctant, "What is he doing to me when he comes back?"

Under Ah Fu's murderous eyes, he still responded resentfully, "Okay, brother Su, you've worked hard! Brother Su, sit down! I'll go and make tea for you."

Su Cen smiled and sat down on the recliner where Qu Ling'er was lying on just now. The yard was tidied up by Ah Fu. The flowers and plants he had planted under the window sill before had sprouted, and it could be seen that Ah Fu had carefully taken care of it. up.

No matter how good the gold and silver nests are, your own doghouse is still comfortable.

Qu Ling'er brought out two cups of tea, and brought one cup to Su Cen. Su Cen was stunned after taking a sip, and spit out a mouthful of tea a foot away.

Su Cen sternly said, "Qu Ling'er, where did you get the tea?!"

Qu Ling'er took a step after she was busy: "What... what's wrong? What's wrong with this tea? I made it for you because I think it tastes good."

"Do you know how much this tea costs for one or two taels?" Su Cen looked at the white hairs on the tips of the buds in the cup and was heartbroken. "You can't even afford it if you sell it!"

Qu Ling'er looked at the teacup and couldn't help scratching her head resentfully: "Tea, isn't it just for drinking..."

"How much is left?"

Qu Ling'er quietly took a few steps back: "...there's still a lot left..."

"Qu Ling'er!" Su Cen kicked up, but Qu Ling'er was already prepared, turned over on the roof, and smiled shyly at others: "Brother Su, calm down, I drank everything, you beat me to death!" It's useless, at worst, I'll be a cow and a horse in the future to repay you."

Su Cen glared at him, then walked away, "Don't come down tonight!"

Su Cen didn't give Qu Ling'er a good look until after dinner, and Qu Ling'er knew that she had caused trouble. Su Cen, a rich young man who regards money as cow dung, can be so angry, it shows that this tea is really not Everything.Guessing that he was about to fall asleep, he ran to Su Cen's room and knocked on the door.

It took Su Cen a while to reluctantly open the door for him.

"Brother Su, I really didn't do it on purpose," Qu Ling'er followed into the room, "You said you put so much tea together, I don't know if it's good or bad..."

Su Cen made a sneaky look: "I don't know if it's good or bad, you just choose the most expensive drink!"

"I just took a can..." Qu Ling'er curled her lips aggrievedly, "I drank the whole thing, what do you think I should do?"

Su Cen sat down with a sad face. In fact, she shouldn't be so angry at all, but when she saw the tea, she couldn't help but think of that person, and recalled his talk about tea at the Huxin Pavilion that day. Sending this tea to him, unexpectedly, Qu Ling'er would take advantage of it.

Knowing that no amount of anger would help, Su Cen changed the subject, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"Yes." Qu Ling'er nodded seriously.

"Who is it?" Su Cen asked.

Qu Ling'er pondered for a moment, then said, "Liu Yu."
