Touch the cold

"I didn't know you knew Chen Hanmo, the second-rank great Yuan of the capital."

Along the way, Mo Zijin was mostly silent, but Qi Shuang felt that the atmosphere was gloomy, so she would often say something.

Mo Zijin was a little sleepy at first, but when Qi Shuang mentioned this matter, he tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "I'm afraid we have to start with Qin Yi."

"Qin Yi?"

"En." Mo Zijin nodded, "The Qin family of the Tianxia Military Mansion Treasury you mentioned is actually Qin Yi's mansion?"

"What... what?" Qi Shuang was so startled that she almost bit her own tongue.

"The current Chen Mansion is where Qin Yi lived." Mo Zijin continued.

"This... no wonder you have to come here." Qi Shuang suddenly realized, then asked again: "But Qin Yi's family business is so big, why...why..."

"Why did you fall to Yongcheng empty-handed?" Mo Zijin took Qi Shuang's words and said.

"En." Qi Shuang nodded.

Mo Zijin shook his head and smiled wryly, "Actually, I don't know either. I don't know what happened to him in those days? I don't know why he left the Qin family."

Qi Shuang wanted to ask some more questions, but after Mo Zijin said this, he turned his face away, Qi Shuang also knew what was going on, and hurried on the road silently without speaking.

After Qin Yi knew that Mo Zijin was not in the courtyard, he didn't do anything special. He just frowned and looked at Lingyou who was guarding him. His gaze was like a lying down upset tiger, as if Lingyou was a little If there is any unruly behavior, the tiger will pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

Lingyou held the sword in his hand nervously under such gaze, and didn't dare to look directly into Qin Yi's eyes. After glancing elsewhere for a while, when he returned to Qin Yi's face, Qin Yi was still looking at him.

Lingyou pursed his lips, moved quietly, grabbed the big white cat that was sleeping soundly at the door of the house, and threw it in front of Qin Yi.

"How about, let's see if your cat is okay, what are you doing staring at me all the time?" Lingyou whispered, rolling his eyes.

The white cat was disturbed by people for no reason, and felt resentful. With its white hair all over its body, it "sighted" fiercely at Lingyou.

Lingyou was agitated, this is good, the big tiger and the little tiger looked at him together, the cat was like a man, and the man was like a cat.

Come on, can't you afford to provoke or hide?

Lingyou escaped from the house and stood in the sunshine in the courtyard to dry the cold sweat all over his body. When he promised Mo Zijin to take good care of Qin Yi, Lingyou never thought that Qin Yi would be so unkind. When Zijin was around, Lingyou saw that Qin Yi wasn't that difficult to get along with, but after a few days, Lingyou regretted agreeing to Mo Zijin.

Just regretting is useless, if something happens to Lingyou, I am afraid that a few lives will not be enough for Mo Zijin to vent his anger, so he stood in the courtyard and sighed heavily, and hurried to Qin Yi to get rid of it. It was lunch time, and at the same time, I hoped that Mo Zijin would come back soon.

Ling You was not the only one who was looking forward to Mo Zijin's return soon. Qin Yi lazily rested his chin on the white cat's back when there was no one in the house, and the white cat gently rubbed his face against him. Get down slowly.

Qin Yi stared blankly at a corner of the room, wondering what he was thinking about.

------

At night, in the capital, Mo Zijin and Qin Yi had already entered Chen Hanmo's residence.

"The study is on the west corridor, and the bedroom is on the north side of the backyard."

On the roof of the front hall, Mo Zijin shook the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in his hand and said to Qi Shuang. The clear sweet-scented osmanthus wine collided with the side of the jug, making a pleasant "ding ding", echoing the light river of stars.

"You are really familiar with this place." Qi Shuang sighed, sitting on the ridge of the roof and walked around, saying: "It stands to reason that such important letters and evidence should be kept in the bedroom, so go directly to the backyard."

"Yeah." Mo Zijin didn't deny it, "But I want to go to the study first."

"Huh? What are you doing there first?" Qi Shuang asked.

Mo Zijin hung the jug on the ridge of the roof, and replied flatly: "Qin Yi used to have a carp pen that he used all the time. He should be used to it when writing. I want to bring it back to him."

Qi Shuang opened his mouth, and then nodded vigorously, "Success, you have the final say, I'm afraid to take an extra pen to put it down, let's go."

"Wait." Mo Zijin grabbed Qi Shuang who was about to jump off, pointed behind him and said, "Turn over from the back to avoid being discovered."

Even in the middle of the night, there were still people coming and going in Chen Hanmo's house from time to time, but fortunately, Mo Zijin was very familiar with this place where he had lived for many years, so he led Qi Shuang to hide from left to right, and finally got in. In the study.

Pushing the door open, there was a slight creaking sound from the door panel, and the ink-scented book air rushed towards his face. Mo Zijin took a deep breath, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see Qin Yi sitting at the desk, flipping lazily The appearance of the scroll.

"The owner of the mansion has changed, is the fish you are looking for still there?" Qi Shuang gently closed the study door and asked Mo Zijin.

"Yes." Mo Zijin touched the table and said, the furnishings in this room have hardly changed, and it seems that no one is willing to come to this room, and a thin layer of dust has accumulated on the table.

The pen was placed on the corner of the table, Mo Zijin took it over, brushed off the dust on it, and put it into his arms.

"Okay?" Qi Shuang asked.

"Go to the backyard." Mo Zijin said after confirming that the pen was installed.

There were two guards in front of Chen Hanmo's house. Although the guards were drowsy, Mo Zijin and Mo Zijin slipped in through the back window.

The dormitory is actually not that big, and there is a strong smell of ambergris in the room, which made Qi Shuang almost cough up.

For Mo Zijin and Qi Shuang, entering the dormitory and stealing something is actually very simple, and Chen Hanmo is a person who is not too guarded. The few letters that people were looking for came out through the window and walked outside the Chen residence.

Qi Shuang breathed a sigh of relief after jumping from the roof of the Chen Mansion to the outside of the mansion with those letters, and said to Mo Zijin while holding the letter: "At dawn, hand this letter to the receptionist at the gate of the palace. gone."

Mo Zijin stopped, "Then I will leave the rest to you."

Qi Shuang was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"

"After dawn, I'll go find Chen Hanmo." Mo Zijin said.

"What... what?" Qi Shuang felt that Mo Zijin's brain was not working well, "We just stole something from the Chen Mansion at night."

Mo Zijin smiled, "I know, don't worry, I just asked him a few questions, you wait for me at the gate of the city, I will be here soon."

Qi Shuang was still a little worried, and said, "Well, if you haven't arrived outside the city after noon, I'll come back here to look for you."

"It won't take noon." Mo Zijin said, "Go and deliver the letter first."

"Be careful." Qi Shuang said, turning around and walking towards the palace.

The morning and middle courts are strict, so before dawn, Chen Hanmo came out of the gate of the mansion and was about to go up in the sedan chair. Who knew that one foot had already stepped on the sedan chair, and his eyes caught sight of the man standing not far away. Mo Zijin and Chen Hanmo staggered and almost fell off, but several servants with quick eyes and quick hands helped him to stabilize.

"My lord, are you alright?" the next person asked politely.

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Hanmo shook off the sleeves of his official robe that he had folded, couldn't take his eyes off Mo Zijin who was standing not far away, and walked towards him erratically.

"Master Chen." Before Chen Hanmo approached and stood still, Mo Zijin called out respectfully.

"Why are you here?" Chen Hanmo said unceremoniously, "I thought you had gone far away like Qin Yi."

Mo Zijin's expression was still respectful, and he said: "I just passed by the capital occasionally and came back to have a look. I wanted to see Qin Yi, but I didn't expect that the person who lives here is Mr. Chen."

Chen Hanmo gouged out Mo Zijin's eyes, then looked at the long tail behind him, waved his hands behind him to signal them to retreat, then approached Mo Zijin, and asked, "You don't even know Qin Yi whereabouts?"

Mo Zijin shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him again."

Chen Hanmo snorted and waved his sleeves, "Forget it, I don't know if that person is alive or dead."

Mo Zijin let out a breath slowly, suppressed his emotions and said, "Master Chen, why did Qin Yi end up in such a state of despair?"

Chen Hanmo straightened his clothes, straightened his body and said, "Who knows what he's thinking? A few years ago, he took the initiative to dismiss his servants and his family business. In the end, the imperial court had no choice but to sell the house." , leave the capital."

Mo Zijin was taken aback.

Chen Hanmo was still talking casually: "The emperor saw that the Qin family could no longer bring out soldiers, and originally wanted to punish him, but was persuaded by a few officials, saying that he should remember the achievements of the Qin family in the past. If the monarch wants to govern benevolently and love the people, the emperor just gave up and only deprived him of his Beijing registration and made him a refugee."

Mo Zijin lowered his head slightly and clenched his fists.

"Mo Zijin." After Chen Hanmo babbled about the past by himself for a long time, he felt that he had lost his dignity, and said with a long breath: "You and I have known each other in the past, why don't you come to my house for a drink after I go down to court?" How about a cup of tea? I haven't changed much in this mansion, I guess you miss it a lot too."

Mo Zijin raised his face, smiled at Chen Hanmo, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your kindness, but the grass people have to hurry, so they won't go in and pollute the plants and trees in your mansion."

Hearing these words, Chen Hanmo was very helpful, "That's all, I still have to catch up with the morning court, so let's go."

"Master Chen, go slowly." Mo Zijin said.

Chen Hanmo nodded arrogantly, turned around and went back to the sedan chair surrounded by everyone, Mo Zijin stood on the spot, watching Chen Hanmo's team walk away with narrowed eyes, with a disdainful smile on his lips.

Chen Hanmo didn't know at the moment that the emperor was holding the letter that Qi Shuang sent outside the palace gate at dawn.

Mo Zijin turned his head and looked at the former Qin Mansion, and the present Chen Mansion, he no longer had any nostalgia, and went to look for Qi Shuang outside the city.
