On one side is a carved inkstone, the fragrance of ink floats.

After the two of them dealt with the affairs in the yamen, Dongfang gradually showed his pale belly.Back in Li's mansion, Ye Huaiyun stood behind the desk, writing small and upright characters on the fold.

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Huaiyun put down the Zilanghao brush, and Chu Tingyun picked up the booklet that he wanted to send to Shangjing from the table and blew it, letting the ink dry.

After reading it line by line, Chu Tingyun put the notebook into an envelope for him and sealed it with lacquer, "Is it so detailed that you are not afraid that the emperor will suspect you?"

All the evidence the two of them found from Wang Xiangshan's mansion pointed directly at Ye Huaiyun, and now the only witness died suddenly, and the cause of death is still unknown, that is, there is no real evidence of death.The emperor is deeply suspicious, and he can't help but suspect that Ye Huaiyun is afraid that his scheme will be revealed and killed him to silence him.

"How could I not be afraid." Ye Huaiyun smiled wryly, "But if I only pick what is good for me, I feel ashamed."

Do what you think is right, this is what Chu Tingyun taught him.

Chu Tingyun said: "Actually, there is no need to be afraid. If the emperor really doubts you, I will take you away."

Ye Huaiyun was amused when he heard the words, "Is it the king's land in the whole world, where can I escape?"

"Take you to Luanxiao Palace." Chu Tingyun said: "Luanxiao Palace is located on a dangerous peak, but anyone who has the courage to go up the mountain to snatch people, I will kill one by one."

He thought it was just a casual joke, but Ye Huaiyun turned his head to meet his gaze, and unexpectedly found that Chu Tingyun's expression was quite serious, and the corners of his mouth were raised softly by some coincidence.

Wandering the world with the one you love sounds like a good idea.

Even if you have nothing, you are happy.

In the afternoon of the same day, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded Tianguanfang with swords, sealed it up on the grounds that they were suspected of gathering crowds to amass wealth, and ordered that no gambling workshops be opened in the city in the future, which attracted applause from the onlookers.

As for the Jia officials, Ye Huaiyun originally wanted to execute them together, but he searched the Dachen Law and couldn't find a law that could convict the gentry for oppressing the people, so he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

The new county magistrate of Tongpengcheng sent by the imperial court is the cousin of the imperial censor. He is as honest and upright as his uncle. The first fire of the new official is to order that the landlord should not raise the rent at will. He must first inform the yamen for approval. can be implemented.And under the order of Ye Huaiyun, most of Jia's property was confiscated as a warning, part of it was distributed to the poor people in the city, and the other part was turned over to the imperial court to fill the national treasury.

So far, the case of Tongpengcheng has come to an end, but only Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun know about it, and there are still many doubts left.

For example, Zhong Gui and Pan Han's whereabouts are still unknown, so they left Zhong Siniang and Mrs. Pan's family in Li's house for living.

For example, what is the function of the silver needle in the brains of Wang Xiangshan and Pan Xiuxiu? After searching all over the city, no one knows the doctor. Only an old traveling doctor learned that the Gu insect was made of golden silkworm snake venom. liquid food.

Another example is Ye Huaiyun thinking all the time, who is behind the manipulation of chess.

At this moment, lying flat and staring at the bed curtain, thinking about it, I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

While thinking, Chu Tingyun suddenly turned over and pressed him down, and before Ye Huaiyun could react, he leaned over and kissed his lips.

Ye Huaiyun catered to his kiss, and Chu Tingyun's actions became more and more wanton.When he came back from this lingering intoxication, the clothes were thrown aside at some point, and Chu Tingyun's palms slowly moved down his waistline, but there was still no intention of stopping.

Ye Huaiyun hurriedly pressed his hand, with a delicate expression, "Are you still planning to... be on top of me?"

Chu Tingyun murmured hoarsely, "Hmm..."

"No way!" Ye Huaiyun regained some clarity, "It's nothing more than mistaken Chinese medicine last time, how could Gu...uh..."

Before he could finish the second half of his sentence, Chu Tingyun kissed him again.

Ye Huaiyun knew better than anyone else that this person was extremely proud and arrogant.He raised his eyes hesitantly, and bumped into Chu Tingyun's slightly raised brows, smiling seductively, and the faint fragrance in his rapid breathing merged into the bright vermilion at the end of his eyes, which made his heart flutter, and finally let go of his holding hand.

In the Boshan censer, elegant fragrance is diffused, like curls and clouds, reaching into the dancing candlelight.

A white jade foot slid out of the edge of the bed, trembling slightly pressing the thin quilt into several folds.

Cicadas chirping and frogs chirping, summer nights are warm.

Fingers crossed, a good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the shadow guards of the East Palace and the shadow guards of the Luanxiao Palace prepared the carriage for departure early in the morning, and waited at the gate of Li's residence.Ye Huaiyun was supported by Chu Tingyun into the carriage, and the group continued south to Zhiyang County.

******

The green mountains are stacked, and the white clouds are moving.

It has been half a month since I walked all the way from Tongpeng City, Gyeonggi Province to the middle of Sichuan. Summer is coming to an end and autumn is coming out.But after entering Sichuan, instead of getting cooler due to the approaching autumn, the temperature is even higher.

Chu Tingyun bought a heavy wooden folding fan in the county town along the way, and fanned it leisurely for Ye Huaiyun.

Jiang Linxu lifted the veil and asked bluntly, "Brother Yi, can you let me get into the carriage for a rest?"

Chu Tingyun said coldly: "No!"

"It's hot outside." Jiang Linxu begged bitterly.

Chu Tingyun didn't even bother to look at him, and said in a cool voice, "Hold it."

Jiang Linxu walked away in frustration, really didn't give any affection, is there any brotherhood? !

The folding fan in Chu Tingyun's hand didn't shake a few times, and the head came in from the car window again, which made him a little impatient, "What's the matter?"

"Luxia City is ahead!" Jiang Linxu's eyes sparkled when he said that.

Chu Tingyun turned a deaf ear to this and didn't respond at all.

"Luxia City!" Jiang Linxu repeated in a high voice, very excited, "The city is rich in a treasure called Shuiyin Jade, as long as you wear it, you can feel cool all over your body."

Ye Huaiyun opened his eyes in the sweltering afternoon when he heard this, "Is there such a magical thing?"

"Your Highness, don't you know?" Jiang Linxu scratched his head and said, "When the Luanxiao Palace held a martial arts appreciating meeting earlier, the treasure brought by Lu Xiajin's family was Shuiyin Jade. I tried it on myself, and wearing it in summer is really refreshing. .”

"Which Jin family?" Chu Tingyun interjected and asked him, "Why don't I have any impression?"

"It's an aristocratic family that Dad just made friends with last year." Jiang Linxu said: "At that time, the brother-in-law was fighting chaos in the border area, so it's normal to have no impression."

Chu Tingyun let out an "oh" lazily, and leaned back against the car wall as if he had no interest.And Jiang Linxu was still waiting outside the car for a response, his eyes blinking with anticipation.

Ye Huaiyun saw that the righteous brothers were amused, and he was so hot that he couldn't stand it, so he said, "Then go and have a look."

As Jiang Linxu said, Shuiyinyu is a famous item in Luxia City. Although the price is a bit expensive and most ordinary people cannot afford it, almost every household knows about it.

After they entered the city, they randomly asked a peddler and found out: There are quite a few shops selling Shuiyin jade in the city, but they are all run by Lu Xiajin's family.

According to the road pointed by the shopkeeper, Jiang Linxu walked in the front and finally turned into a shop.

Bored, Chu Tingyun picked up a piece of Shuiyin jade from the counter, looked at it in the sun for a while, and said with a sneer: "It's just an ordinary piece of jade, what's so strange about it."

This happened to be heard by the shop owner, pointed to himself and said: "Guest officer, you are wrong. Look at me, I don't sweat a little in summer, it's all thanks to the water singing jade on my body. "

Ye Huaiyun held the Shuiyin Jade in his hand for a while, and gradually felt strands of coolness seeping into the blood from the skin surface of the palm, flowing through the veins of the whole body like the true energy of martial arts, "It's really effective, You might as well buy some for everyone to take with you.”

"Okay!" The store owner took the money with a smile all over his face, and immediately put strings on the Shuiyin jade graciously, and put them one by one into the brocade box.

Chu Tingyun looked in front of the counter again, and finally picked the most unique shape, hung it on Ye Huaiyun's neck, and wore it close to the skin.

Ye Huaiyun looked at the piece of jade with a complicated expression, "Why did you pick a mouse?"

"Isn't this a rabbit?" Chu Tingyun stroked the two round ears carved out of jade.

"Actually..." The store owner glanced at the two, opened his mouth and interjected, "This is a tiger."

Ye Huaiyun: "..." Well, it's his blind eyes.

Chu Tingyun disagreed, and immediately questioned: "If you don't have the word 'king' on your forehead, you're not a tiger."

"This..." The shop owner was suddenly overwhelmed by his question, he hesitated for a long time without saying a reason.

"So this is a rabbit." Chu Tingyun made a final decision.

Ye Huaiyun pursed his lips and laughed, this person's stubborn nature really couldn't be refuted at all.

After coming out of the shop, a group of people, including the shadow guards of the East Palace and the dark guards of the Luanxiao Palace, all wore a piece of water singing jade, except Chu Tingyun.

Ye Huaiyun subconsciously asked him: "Why don't you wear it?"

As soon as he spoke, he immediately remembered that Chu Tingyun was always afraid of the cold and not afraid of the heat. He had seen several blankets wrapped around his body to keep warm in winter, including those hands that were a little cold all year round, so he didn't need it. This water chanting jade is used to dispel heat.

Sure enough, Chu Tingyun said: "My internal energy is so cold that I can't use it."

Just as he was talking, there was a loud swearing sound behind him, which attracted the attention of several people.

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun turned around together and looked back.The shop owner, who was smiling just now, became dumbfounded and bared his teeth, as if he had had an argument with several people who also came to buy Shuiyin jade.

The customer frowned and said, "You are too unreasonable."

"Go away!" The store owner was furious.

After several times of chasing and scolding, the customer also became angry, and sarcastically said: "We have seen it today. It turns out that Lu Xia's first family actually does business like this."

The shop owner also fought back without showing any weakness. He shook his sleeves and said, "It's not up to you to point out how the Jin family does business. Anyway, it's not your Zhao family's business."

Bouts of noise broke the quiet of the street in the afternoon. During this short period of time, many people around had gathered to watch and discuss.

In the crowd, someone sighed: "Two days have passed since the incident, and the Zhao family has not been able to give an explanation so far. It is no wonder that the people of the Jin family are always confronting them."

"That's right, no one will give up easily if you do this kind of thing." Another woman followed suit: "If you want me to say, this young master of the Jin family is quite pitiful."

The young master of the Jin family?

Jiang Linxu was startled when he heard the words, and turned his head to ask the woman who had just spoken, "Is the young master of the Jin family that Auntie is talking about Jin Sibai?"

"Yes." The woman glanced at him, "The Jin family only has such a young master, who else can he be?"

Jiang Linxu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun also turned their heads to look over, only to hear the woman say: "Are you from out of town? You don't know, the young master of the Jin family and the head of the Zhao family were supposed to get married three days ago ,result……"

"Wait!" Jiang Linxu interrupted her in time, with a surprised expression on his face, "I heard that right, man and man? Married?"

"Hey, I can't be wrong." The woman waved her hand and said eloquently, "There was an uproar in the city as soon as this story was reported, and no one could believe it until the Zhao family carried boxes of betrothal gifts in a mighty manner. Only when we entered the Jin Mansion did we fully know that it was true. Although it is a bit contrary to human relations, but think about it, as long as the hearts are connected, two men are no big deal."

Jiang Linxu unconsciously shifted his gaze to Chu Tingyun and his sister-in-law, with "you have to hurry up" written all over his eyes.

Chu Tingyun glanced at him coldly and didn't bother to answer him.

Ye Huaiyun also tried to divert her attention, and said to the woman, "Auntie continued."

"Everything was going well at first, and the neighbors even made an appointment to eat the flowing water rice noodles set up by Zhao's house, but who knew it was the day of the wedding..." The woman suddenly covered half of her lips with her hand, and said in a low voice: "The groom suddenly disappeared! "

"Escape from marriage?" Jiang Linxu subconsciously responded.

"Who knows." The woman sighed, "Anyway, this person hasn't come back yet."

While they were chatting, many people rushed over to drive away the onlookers, "It's gone, it's all gone!"

Jiang Linxu looked sideways, and there was a handsome young man with fair skin standing in front of the servants.

"Talk about you guys! Go away!" The person driving away pointed at Chu Tingyun and his party who were still standing still, and reprimanded angrily: "Why are you still watching?"

"Sibai." Jiang Linxu ignored the group of people and shouted.

The young man heard the sound and looked over, slightly surprised, "Lin Xu, why are you here?"

[The author has something to say: Because it is a transition between two cases and two cities, the rhythm of this chapter is a bit slow.Then I deeply reflected on my driving skills, which may belong to the school of consciousness...humble. 】
