[Through the book] The host always wants to hate the system

He didn't sleep all night, but he woke up in the morning feeling a little groggy. Tomorrow, he will go to Li Qi to discuss the case of exterminating the Wan family. This is a big case involving a lot. If it is successful, the points from the background subsidy should be enough for him to squander this year.

The smell of tranquilizing incense in the room did not make him feel at ease, Yan Qing slowly got up and put on his clothes, after washing, Xu Jin was already waiting at the door, his words were respectful like a child yesterday: "Pavilion Master , the person has already arrived and is waiting in the flower hall on the second floor."

"understood."

The small garden in Xianshan where he lived was being built behind Fengyu Pavilion, and he entered the first floor of Fengyu Pavilion from the side in less than a quarter of an hour. The old man with a pipe saw him from a distance and greeted him.

Hearing the movement behind him, Huaiyu said, "The pavilion master is so arrogant."

When Yan Qing went upstairs, she would subconsciously walk lightly to relieve the pain in her legs, so he pretended not to hear the irony, and Li Qi raised her hand to signal Huai Yu not to be rude.

When Yan Qing came up, Li Qi looked at the mask on the face in front of him and said: "The master's leg has been injured. This king knows a doctor who specializes in treating this leg injury. If the master doesn't dislike it, I can send someone Looking for him to treat the pavilion master?"

Xu Jin helped Yan Qing to sit down, remembering what he said just now, he gave Huaiyu a vicious look.

Yan Qing said: "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but this Fengfeng Pavilion collects money according to the hour, so don't waste your time with meaningless questions."

There was no emotion in his words, the mask covered most of his face, Li Qi couldn't see his face, so he tried to find some similarities with some people in the past from his eyes, but in these years Yan Qing has changed a lot, his eyes no longer have the look of the past as if filled with stars and bright moons, only the desertedness tempered by many people and events remains.

Li Qi is naturally not short of money, but he also understood the meaning of Yan Qing's words, so he didn't say anything else and said: "This king is here for the affairs of the Wan family, but the specific matters may be more important than this king. Be more clear."

He was alluding to the matter of the pigeon yesterday, Yan Qing said inwardly, but said: "Yesterday there was indeed a carrier pigeon that sent a message to my Fengfeng Pavilion by mistake, now it seems that it should belong to the prince's family."

Hearing these words, Huaiyu thought in his heart that Fengyu Pavilion is really a good place where black and white are reversed, but when he looked up again, he found that the master of Fengyu Pavilion was still staring at him.

Li Qi has a good temper, even with Yan Qing's nonsense, he still calmly said: "Since that pigeon likes Fengfeng Pavilion, I will give it to the Pavilion Master."

Didn't see him being deflated, Yan Qing felt bored, and didn't care too much and said: "Xu Jin, go and send up the things the prince wants to check."

"Yes."

Xu Jin rang a wind chime in the flower hall, and within a short while there was a knock on the door. A servant standing outside the flower hall presented a piece of brocade in his hand. Xu Jin took it and handed it to Yan Qing. Yan Qing glanced at it and saw nothing. The mistake was handed over to Li Qi, and I saw that he described the Wan family's self-made fortune to the end of the family in great detail.

Li Qi was still watching, and Yan Qing had already summed it up succinctly: "The Wan family lived in Ningxi for generations, and they made their fortunes in the early years by selling salt. All, as for the salt business, it seems to be handed over to the Su family, a branch of the Wan family."

"The news is exactly the same as what was reported by the Captain's Mansion." Even though Yan Qing had already summarized it, Li Qi still read it carefully, and said firmly: "The Pavilion Master should have found more than that."

"My lord is willing to spend money, and Fengfeng Pavilion will not disappoint my lord."

With a wave of Yan Qing's hand, Xu Jin rang the wind chime again, but this time it was a carved wooden box that the old man with a cigarette bag personally gave him yesterday.

"The lock set by Master Ningxi," Li Qi praised, and after receiving it, he handed it to Huaiyu behind him, "Can you unlock it?"

Yan Qing looked at Huaiyu with interest, he only knew that in the original novel Huaiyu was from the Captain's Mansion, but he didn't know what he would do.

Huaiyu played with it for a while, flicked his hands out of nowhere and took out a thin wire that looked like a key, and opened the box with a few strokes.

"This lock is not difficult," he handed the box to Li Qi, "Master has always been reserved and conscientious in his work, I think he didn't make this box voluntarily."

"It turns out that Mr. Huaiyu is a disciple of Master Lu Xizi."

Yan Qing praised, Xu Jin's eyes behind him showed a little more admiration, Huaiyu only humbly said: "It's just that I have been to Ningxi for a few years and learned some superficial things."

There was an account book in the box, with the word "Wanfu" written on the cover, Li Qi turned over the pages one by one, and asked, "What is this?"

"One year ago, Wanfu ran away a housekeeper to Wangcheng. He was severely punished and rolled on a nail bed for suing Wanfu. However, Wanjia didn't sue, but he died tragically in another country." Yan Qing took a sip of tea. This tea is new. It was fried and tasted just right, "This box was sent by the housekeeper's daughter Wan Lingling."

"In an important place in the royal city, someone is using power for personal gain?"

Huaiyu was furious, but Xu Jin said: "My lord is in a high position, but it's a pity that she is blind. How can she be the only one who is wronged in Fengming City?"

Huaiyu lowered her eyes and seemed to be thinking.

Li Qi flipped through most of the account books, and asked in a deep voice until the end of the day was approaching: "How credible is this account book?"

"Nine points."

Yan said lightly.

The calmness of the past was torn apart, Li Qi had a serious expression on his face, and only said: "This matter has a lot to do with it, and I hope the Pavilion Master will not disclose the news to others."

"It's natural," Yan Qing replied.

"Where is Wan Lingling at this time?"

Li Qi asked again.

"I promised Wan Lingling to take good care of her, so I can't tell you her whereabouts."

Fengfeng Pavilion has attracted many people by relying on information business these years, including the old man who just spread the news, his skills are also extraordinary, Yan Qing said that Li Qi didn't say much, but when Yan Qing got up, he said: "Feng Yu The pavilion is a piece of precious jade, but everyone is innocent and commits crimes, I wonder if the owner of the pavilion has ever thought about what to do if the pavilion can no longer protect itself due to wind and rain?"

Fengfeng Pavilion has not turned to any force at this time, so there is something in his words.

Yan Qing asked back: "I don't know how the lord thinks that Fengfeng Pavilion should protect itself?"

"According to Your Excellency's talents, it is not difficult to become an official in the court."

"I still have self-knowledge. Isn't it a joke for a person who is erudite and doesn't know anything about classics to enter the officialdom?"

"The pavilion master was joking, but the style of the pavilion master reminds me of another person."

Knowing that he couldn't say anything good, Yan Qing didn't want to hear it, but he always had to save face, so he said perfunctorily: "Maybe I have a relationship with the prince, and we have known each other for a long time?"

"That's right," Li Qiwen said with a smile as he stared at the man in front of him, "I do have a destiny with the pavilion master."

"..."

Why does he always think Li Qi's words mean a lot?

"Since it's fate, why doesn't the pavilion master take off his mask and treat each other honestly?"

Hehe, dog man.
