after farewell
Chapter 12
Bring it in. " Said and helped Yun Xuan back to the bed.
"Are you able to bear it these few days?" Zhao Yuan asked, "If it doesn't work tomorrow, let Boyu and the others go first. I'll stay with you for a few days. We'll start our journey when you're better. It's only a few days away from Suzhou. .”
"Where is it so delicate as you said? I can still bear this tiredness." Yun Xuan sweetly enjoyed Zhao Yuan's care, but refused because she was not willing to delay his errand.
"It's okay, the time is not tight this time, besides, they have to sort out the early things before they can show me. It doesn't matter if we go there later." Zhao Yuan explained.Of course he got the job this time, but now he couldn't bear to see Yun Xuan like this, that's all, anyway, his current reputation was already like this, so it didn't matter if he added another one, so he told a white lie.
The author has something to say:
☆, leave without saying goodbye
Yun Xuan had never been involved in the imperial court, but she always read the scriptures. Since Zhao Yuan was appointed as an imperial envoy, it was natural that he had to make up his mind on everything, so how could he believe what he said?
"You will lie to me all day long." Yun Xuan gave Zhao Yuan an angry look, "If you are really worried, I will rest here for a few days and go to Suzhou to find you after a few days when I feel better."
Zhao Yuan saw that Yun Xuan said that, and knew that she would not do it any more, so he nodded in agreement.
"I'll keep Yan Mo and Bai Yang, and I'll leave another team of guards for you," Zhao Yuan said, seeing Yun Xuan frowning and about to decline, "They are the guards of the palace, not the imperial court, so you don't have to worry."
Yun Xuan didn't refuse any more. She wanted to come with him at the beginning just on a whim, but later he agreed and was dazed for a while. She didn't expect how much trouble her identity would bring him. . .He had felt it since he set off, but now it seems that following him will cause him a lot of inconvenience.
"Master, the hand stove is ready, can you bring it in now?" The two people in the room heard Suyun's knock on the door to report.
"Bring it in." Zhao Yuan glanced at Yun Xuan, then sat back on the palace stool, before speaking to the outside world.
Hearing Zhao Yuan's voice, Suyun opened the door and walked in. As expected, she saw Yunxuan leaning on the upright pillow, and her grandfather was sitting on the small stool next to her to accompany her. It's nothing more than the daughter of the Xiao family. After all, Xiao Wan has always been known as a talented woman, with a noble status and an outstanding personality. It is understandable that the Lord likes her.Now, it is such a humble person who came from Goulan, why should he let the Lord take care of him like this?Do you have to take it with you when you go out?Why does my grandfather have to wait on the sidelines now? !
"Suyun, why are you so dazed, give me the hand stove." Zhao Yuan reminded Suyun not knowing what to think when he saw that Suyun had not moved.
Suyun's resentment was interrupted by Zhao Yuan, looking at Zhao Yuan's still kind face, he was even more aggrieved, handed the hand stove to Zhao Yuan without saying anything, made a hasty salute and left without waiting for Zhao Yuan to speak.
"What's wrong with Suyun today? She doesn't have such a hot temper on weekdays, but she looks more and more like Hongling. How can she get married?" Zhao Zi said to himself, and then handed the stove to Yun Xuan.
Yunxuan grew up in a brothel since she was a child. Observing words and feelings and guessing people's hearts are her compulsory courses. Naturally, these skills are not weak. Zhao Yuan and Suyun have known each other for a long time, so they don't think too much. Suyun is impatient with her. Understatement, she can not pay attention, but she really felt it, but she couldn't say anything, seeing Zhao Yuan handing over the hand stove, she just took it.
Seeing the genuine concern in Zhao Yuan's eyes, Yun Xuan secretly made up her mind.Afterwards, he returned to his usual calm appearance.
"Your stove is really delicate." Yun Xuan received the stove in her hand, and immediately felt a sense of warmth. She also saw that the stove was made of a whole piece of ink-painted jadeite, and it felt warm and moist to the touch. The ten sceneries of West Lake were carved extremely Simulation, just looking at it makes people feel refreshed.
"Naturally, this is my favorite hand stove, how can it be rough?" Seeing that Yun Xuan seemed to be getting better, Zhao Yuan said proudly.
Yunxuan is now in a weak state, and she has thought a lot, and has no intention of arguing with him, "Yes, how can the prince be worthy of vulgar things? Yunxuan is not feeling well today, so she has to rest earlier, you Come back first."
Zhao Yuan understood Yun Xuan's pain, after all, he was tortured to death by his aunt every time in his previous life, but he still said: "I asked Suyun to prepare dinner, you should eat dinner before going to sleep, no matter how uncomfortable you are You can't stop eating."
When Yunxuan heard Suyun's name, she suddenly thought of the gap between the two of them, and really lost all thought of eating.
"No need, if I'm hungry at night, I'll let Que'er order some food, but now I'm very sleepy, you go first." Seeing Zhao Yuan's concern for her as always, Yun Xuan couldn't help feeling angry Out of him, just perfunctory casually.
Zhao Yuan didn't force it either, and after Yun Xuan lay down, he tucked the quilt carefully for her before leaving.
On the second day Zhao Yuan greeted Yun Xuan and went to Suzhou with the main force, leaving behind Yanmo Baiyang and a group of guards.Bai Yang Yanmo followed Zhao Yuan for a long time, and he always obeyed his orders, but he didn't have Suyun's thought of looking down on Yun Xuan, he just took care of him wholeheartedly, waiting to meet his master in the future.But looking at the attitude of the master recently, the two of them have been extremely polite to Yun Xuan during the past few days.
"Young masters, Yunxuan has made up her mind, and I invite you two, Haihan." Yunxuan was blessed, Yan Mo and Bai Yang hurriedly avoided.
"Miss Yun, you know that the master usually hates being unfavorable. If he knows that we let you go back to Beijing, he will definitely be furious. I hope Miss Yun will understand." Yan Mo said.
"That's right, Master will definitely skin us. Miss Yun will still find Master with us in Suzhou." Bai Yang said hastily.
Yun Xuan understands that her trip to Suzhou this time will definitely bring great trouble to Zhao Yuan. She has proved what she thinks a few days ago, and thinking of Zhao Yuan's kindness to her, she is even more determined not to go to Suzhou again: It's fine if you can't help him, if you still drag him down, then you are too ignorant.
"I will make it clear to the son in the letter that he will not blame the two young masters. Please also the two young masters, Haihan, don't worry about Yun Xuan's disrespect. Queer, let's go." Yun Xuan took out the letter and took it Follow the magpie and go out.
Yan Mo hurriedly walked in front of Yun Xuan, "Since Miss Yun has made up her mind, we brothers can't say anything else, let me escort Miss back to Beijing, otherwise if something happens on the way, we will die gone."
It's hard for Yun Xuan to refuse any more, and it's a little bit of a blessing, "You've worked hard to study Mr. Mo."
Yan Mo hurriedly waved his hands and said he didn't dare, and then said to Bai Yang: "Go and report to the Lord, so that the Lord won't worry."
After finishing speaking, he went to the backyard to set up a carriage, and thought to himself: Why do everyone he likes like this!
When Yun Xuan and others were still on their way back to Beijing, Zhao Yuan had already received Yun Xuan's letter. Sitting behind the yellow pear wood desk, Zhao Yuan asked, "Did Miss Yun say why she came back to Beijing?"
"Miss Yun didn't say anything, but the little one looked a little bit uninterested." Bai Yang didn't wait for Zhao Yuan to ask, and directly said everything about himself, the face of the master is really dark, I'm so scared , Brother, come and save me.
Zhao Yuan looked at the letter, "Forget it, you go down first, and when Yan Mo returns, let him come to me directly."
"Yes, my little one will leave." Bai Yang saluted and ran out of the study as if to escape.
Zhao Yuan arrived in Suzhou a few days ago. Originally, the imperial envoy came to visit, so he should live in the government office, but who doesn't know how particular about Prince Jing's son's clothing, food, housing and transportation?Who would dare to let him live in a mansion that has not been renovated for so many years?At least the local officials didn't dare, and now it's too late to renovate. Fortunately, there are many wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan area, so they confiscated the mansion of a wealthy merchant.
Naturally, the wealthy businessman moved out happily with his family. After all, a house is not worth a lot to him. If he can use this to please his son, it is worth the money. Does everyone look jealous?This time I have grown up in Suzhou Mansion.The rich businessman thought silently.
Although King Jing's Mansion was also built in the style of the gardens in the Jiangnan area, it is not in the Jiangnan area after all. It is still a bit inferior in terms of flavor, but it is more elegant.This mansion is simply piled up with money!If Yunxuan saw it, she would definitely say that she smelled like a nouveau riche everywhere.Zhao Yuan originally wanted to experience the authentic taste of Suzhou gardens, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a place.However, everyone was exhausted, and it was difficult for him to make changes. Compared with the government office, he still preferred to live here, so he didn't say anything for a while.The officials of the Suzhou government thought that the son was satisfied, and they were relieved for a while.
In the past few days, Zhao Yuan has been running around for various entertainments, congratulating him on his success as a young man, and welcoming him, in short, there are all kinds of people, and the banquets for entertaining him have been scheduled for half a month.
Zhao Yuan was happy to use these pretense to dissuade everyone's vigilance, so he pretended to be intoxicated and obsessed with it every day. When the officials saw it, they felt that they had used the right method.Earlier, I heard that Shi Ziye brought the number one oiran of the capital with him on this trip, but he didn't see him on the day of pick-up, and it was difficult for everyone to ask, but he was sure of one thing in his heart: Shi Ziye must like beauties .I just waited to coax him well, waited for him to have a good time and go back to Beijing earlier.
On the surface, Zhao Yuan was pretending to spend the whole day drinking and drinking, and was not thinking about business, but in the dark, he had people check the people who entertained him and those who did not entertain him. There is a list below, check them one by one.There are a lot of people, and it will take some time to check them all. Zhao Yuan will use these days to gather more details at the banquet.
Just as Bai Yang quit that day, Wen Min'an came to see him.
"What's the matter, Mr. Wen?" Zhao Yuan asked.
In the past few days, Zhao Yuan has not hidden Wen Min'an's secret and vigorous means, and he is investigating all aspects of Chunwei.Although Wen Min'an had to admit that the division of labor this time was very reasonable, and the explanations were also very detailed. Judging from these, the prince should not be a rich man, but there are too many rumors about this prince on weekdays, and he dare not fully understand it. To change Zhao Yuan's opinion, it is only as if these measures were explained by the emperor and King Jing before he left, but he still has to report the progress of the matter.
"Returning to my son, according to the investigation of the officials, I am afraid that this time the spring will be very involved." Wen Min'an replied.
Zhao Yuan, who was involved in Chunwei this time, knew about it a long time ago, otherwise, could there be such a big wave with just a few people?
"These descendants know about it, Mr. Wen said the key points." Zhao Yuan said.
Wen Min'an was afraid that Zhao Yuan would not be able to understand, so he started from the beginning and went into more detail. Who knew that he would block him with a single sentence and think he was too wordy, so he was taken aback for a moment, but seeing that Prince Jing's mind can turn so fast, he shouldn't be stupid He is a talented person, so that he can save himself a lot of effort in running errands in the future.
"The cheating incident was exposed this time because a prefecture and county under Suzhou arrested many cheating candidates. These people were not angry for a while, and they were implicated in other examination rooms, so they exposed the matter." Wen Min'an said.
"What? So they cheated because someone was supporting them behind the scenes? Why did something happen in this area?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"This is exactly what I mean. I have interrogated some of the examinees today. This is the confession and some evidence collected recently. This time, someone leaked the exam questions in advance. There were yamen servants in the exam room who secretly passed the answers. What's more There are guns to replace them!" Wen Min'an said so far, he was so angry that he was really a rich man of the country! "The reason why something happened here is that the new Jiangsu Governor Zuo Xinming took the examination room and he took people to inspect the examination room without notifying him in advance. It was also because those yamen servants were too blatant, and Mr. Zuo caught a lot of them at once. The exams of those candidates involved in the case were suspended."
If there were no officials to back them up, how could these yamen servants dare to act so boldly!How could these test questions be leaked without the backing of officials!Without the support of officials, how dare these juren risk losing their fame and reputation to do such things!
"Don't worry, Mr. Wen. We will find out these people one by one, and we won't let them go. We came here this time to deal with these people. We need Mr. Wen to worry about the investigation." Zhao Yuan said .
"I don't dare, I hope the son will pay more attention to this case, and don't be blinded by the momentary joy." Wen Min'an said cautiously.
"Master Wen, if you have nothing to do, go down first and do your job well." Zhao Yuan didn't want to explain to Wen Min'an more, this person is too straightforward, even if he is old and stubborn, he can't understand it ,forget it.
Wen Min'an had already finished what he had to do, and reminding Zhao Yuan was just a passing mention. Seeing that he didn't intend to listen, he didn't bother to say any more, so he stopped procrastinating and left directly.
"Write," Zhao Yuan called out.
Writer was originally guarding in front of the door, but now he heard Zhao Yuan's summons, so he hurried in.
"Master," he called out after writing the salute, then stood respectfully aside and remained still.
"Go and invite Uncle Jia." Zhao Yuan ordered.Jia Zhengwei is a loyal man, he can't do it if he is asked to act, so Zhao Yuan simply let him push all the posts, and let him go to collect evidence with peace of mind.
Jia Zhengwei came after a while, and the two got used to getting along in private, and they didn't stick to those rituals, "Brother Yuan, what do you want me for? Don't you have a banquet today?"
"There is no one like you who asks questions one after another when you first come here. The banquet master will go back later. When you go back, send some hidden guards to Mr. Wen. This investigation is very dangerous. Let me look around him I'm afraid her guards are not that useful, so you should be more careful." Zhao Yuan originally sent guards for her and them, but because too many people's interests were involved this time, it might lead to danger.Now seeing what Wen Min'an said, the person behind the instigation is afraid that his official position is not low, so he is even more concerned and sent out some of the hidden guards.
Jia Zhengwei has always been very confident in his martial arts, he didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but seeing Zhao Yuan's stern expression, he felt apprehensive, so he nodded in response, fearing that this incident would really get complicated.
"I have to go to the banquet later, so I won't keep you. Be careful." Zhao Yuan instructed.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, you are too. When dealing with those old foxes, be more careful." Jia Zhengwei saw Zhao Yuan nodded before leaving in peace.
Zhao Yuan sat down and wrote something again, before getting ready to change clothes and go to the banquet.
The author has something to say: The second update will be broadcast today
☆, nobleman
"The prince is here, please take a seat." Zhao Yuan had just entered the box when someone shouted and arranged a seat for him immediately.
"My lords, please be polite, this son is delayed by some matters, please don't blame him, please don't blame him." Zhao Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Where is it, if the son is really ashamed, he will punish himself with three cups later." Someone was already booing.
Zhang Wenxing, governor of Suzhou, was hosting the banquet today. Zhao Yuan thought that if he wanted to understand the details of Suzhou, he had to start from here.
The person who made a fuss just now was Zhang Chengjin, the prime minister of Suzhou.Zhao Yuan already knew these people one by one when he came to pick him up, he has never forgotten them, so he naturally knows all these people.
Seeing that Fu Yin Zhang Wenxing was just twitching his beard and smiling, and had no intention of stopping him, Zhao Yuan knew that this group of people probably thought of him as a kid who loves to be lively, and those in his age group love to fight hard at banquets Liquor, loves all kinds of entertainment, doesn't care about it at the moment, just said: "This is natural, natural."
After a banquet, Zhao Yuan heard a lot of bad things about Jiangnan governor Zuo Xinming. If Wen Min'an hadn't reported it first, he might have questioned Zuo Xinming's character. After all, it would take a lot of time to check it now Sometimes, who knows if something will happen again just for a while.
However, at the banquet, Zhao Yuan still expressed righteously that he would never tolerate Yunyun, and then he left with alcohol.After a few days of toasting, Zhao Yuan had a good drinker and was exhausted, but he really wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he didn't have to play Tai Chi with this group of people all day long.
"Is the son still having fun today? I know a good place to keep the son happy, and I don't want to miss it." Zhang Chengjin flattered me.
Looking at his wretched appearance, Zhao Yuan knew where it was, and felt even more disgusted in his heart. He waved his hands and said, "Master is tired today, so I'll go back home first."
At this time, Zhao Yuan didn't know that he was troubled here, and because he was not easy on the other side of the court, it was probably the supervisory censor who joined him last time, Qiao Mu, who joined him again, saying that he despised him. Huang En, such a big hat, after all, it is just a matter for Yun Xuan to accompany her.However, all the papers written by Qiao Mu were rejected, and the emperor ignored them.Furthermore, now that Yun Xuan has returned to Beijing, even if she wants to say something, she has nothing to say.
Zhao Yuan returned home reeking of alcohol, and as soon as he entered his courtyard, Suyun came up to him and supported him, "Why did you drink so much again today? It's hard to be kind, but you still have to take care of your own health." ah."
Zhao Yuan didn't answer, he only used Suyun's strength to walk into the house, and when the water was prepared, he went to wash and prepare to go to bed.
"Master," Suyun hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yuan was already extremely sleepy and a little impatient, but after all, he was the one who took care of him when he grew up, and he didn't want to refute her face too much, so he asked patiently.
"No, it's all right. This servant just wants to see if you're asleep." Su Yun stammered back.
Originally, Zhao Yuan felt uncomfortable when he was drunk, but when he saw Suyun's eyes dodging, he didn't bother to ask any more, and suddenly fell into a drowsy sleep.
When he woke up the next day, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the ancient fresh air, and the bright spring sunshine, Zhao Yuan said that he felt refreshed and happy.The waiter woke up, recalling Suyun's appearance last night, and asked: "Yesterday you were hesitant to say something, and then I fell asleep and didn't hear what you said. What's the matter?"
Suyun checked Zhao Yuan's attire again, and after confirming that it was all right, he replied: "Yesterday, Master Yin Zhang of the Suzhou Mansion sent four or four beautiful concubines."
"What did you give?" Zhao Yuan couldn't hear clearly, so he had to ask again.
"Here are four beautiful concubines." Suyun managed to speak louder, and replied.
Zhao Yuan felt that if there were special effects, there should be a crow flying over his head now, followed by an ellipsis. . .
"My lord Fu Yin said that this place is not as good as Jingli after all, and the boys are not careful. If the master doesn't like these beautiful concubines, it's better to keep them as rough servants." Suyun replied anxiously.
She knew that Zhao Yuan was always different from ordinary people in terms of emotions, and she hated those women who jumped on him the most. He was not happy when the princess wanted to point out his room to him last time, but this time he was just an outsider, so he might be angry .
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan didn't get angry as she thought this time, he just let out an oh to show that he knew, and there was no more to say.It was far beyond her expectation.
"Then, Lord, what should we do with these four?" Suyun asked cautiously.
"Then let them do the rough work, what's the point?" Zhao Yuan said.
Sure enough, he was still angry. . .Su Yun thought.
But to say that is to let Suyun arrange it at will.Of course, it was impossible for Suyun to let the four of them really do menial jobs like washing and washing. After all, they were sent by the local officials, so they couldn't ignore this little face, so they just sent some easy jobs.
After more than half a month, Zhao Yuan finally ended these continuous invitations.At the beginning, I only accepted posts from important officials, but I never expected that there would be so many. Fortunately, I only picked up important ones, otherwise, when I returned from my errands, I would be so drunk.
Zhao Yuan has been in Suzhou for so long, but he hasn't experienced the charm of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It's rare to end the invitation, so today is naturally going to have a good time.
Suzhou gardens are famous in my previous life, and I went to play with Xiao Wan, but it was summer vacation, the weather was hot, and there were many people. Although the two thought these classical things were beautiful and fun, but But there were too many people, the tour guide was fast, and he didn't have much fun.With such unique conditions in this life, although the gardens are all private mansions now, it is impossible for me to play freely, but looking at the customs of Suzhou can be regarded as a memory of the previous life.
Zhao Yuan didn't bring them to write today, but only brought some hidden guards for them to guard secretly. He always felt that a group of people followed him, not like traveling, but like inspecting.
Originally today, he wanted to recall his past life by revisiting Suzhou. Zhao Yuan didn't know why, but his impression of Xiao Wan's past life became more and more blurred. When he saw the bustling streets, he thought that if Yun Xuan would Now, how nice it is for two people to travel together; when I see the booth, I think about how nice this hairpin would be if Yunxuan was wearing it; when I buy things by myself, I wonder if Yunxuan is the same as me.
It's okay to be busy on weekdays, but when I'm free, my mind is full of Yun Xuan, how could it be, what about Xiao Wan?
Zhao Yuan was tired from wandering alone, this time he was not picky, so he found a restaurant on the second floor and sat by the window at random.I ordered a few plates of authentic Suzhou snacks and a pot of tea, and sat by the window looking at the scenery and thinking about something.
"Brother, would you mind sitting at the same table with my younger brother?" Zhao Yuan was thinking about something, and suddenly a handsome young man in a white round-neck gown with light green bamboo leaf satin trim suddenly said, which scared Zhao Yuan With a jump, the tea in the cup also overflowed a little.
Zhao Yuan was not hesitant, he looked up and saw the pierced earlobe of this person, he knew it was a woman disguised as a man, he was even more impatient, "There is still a seat next to him."
"This young master has his eyes on this table." The originally modest boy suddenly became arrogant again.
Zhao Yuan had something on his mind, he didn't want to get entangled with others, so he threw the ingot of silver on the table and was about to get up and leave, but he was stopped by the young man again.
"What on earth are you trying to do?" Zhao Yuan asked angrily.
"It's all just to provide some information, my lord imperial envoy." The boy said frivolously, the boy's voice was soft, and the two of them were very close. In the eyes of others, it was only as if the two were bosom friends and they were talking secret words. Not too surprised.
When Zhao Yuan heard the word "Imperial Envoy", he was shocked that this person knew his identity. After all, when he picked up the driver, he cleared the scene, and he usually took a sedan chair when he went out of the house. Whenever he went to a banquet, he was either at the minister's house or cleared There are really very few people who know their identities in the restaurant market, except for officials.
"Who leaked my whereabouts to you." Zhao Yuan sat back on his seat and said calmly.But he went over the names of the people who learned about his trip today over and over in his mind.
"My lord, there is no need to think too hard. Today's matter was followed by the grass-roots themselves, and no one else leaked the secret." After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yuan with a look of disbelief, and continued: "More than that, I also know, Although on the surface you danced and danced, you actually ordered someone to secretly investigate the case involved, how is your progress?"
As for the case investigation, Zhao Yuan and others are secretive, and there are hidden guards accompanying them. It is absolutely impossible to let outsiders know easily. If this person is hostile, he must not remain in the world.Thinking about it, Zhao Yuan already moved his hands to inform the hidden guards, who knew Zhao Yuan had just made a move, but the young man saw through it at a glance, "Your Excellency, it's better not to do things in vain, if the grass-roots people intend to harm you, I'm afraid it's time for you to kill him." I'm going to see the late emperor." The young man chuckled, pinching Zhao Yuan's arm, Zhao Yuan was about to move, but he couldn't move the slightest bit, and seeing the young man, or the young girl in a calm manner, knew that he Unable to fight, he waved his hand to make the hidden guard in the dark back, and asked again: "Then I don't know why you came to see Zhao so deliberately, why?"
"It seems that you are quite transparent, and you always put on your official airs. I don't know if the grassroots will be depressed for a while, and just break the pampered arm of the lord." The young man sarcastically said.
"What's the matter? If it's just for teasing, please forgive Zhao for not being with me." Zhao Yuan saw that this person didn't get to the point for a long time, and he hated the feeling of being controlled by others so much, he was very impatient.
"Don't worry, my lord. It's just that my lord is a rare person who wants to do something, and I just want to help you." The boy still said slowly.
"What's the plan?" Zhao Yuan didn't believe that there was such a thing as pie in the sky.
"For the country, for the community, punish corrupt officials, common people complain, adults can be trusted?" The young man looked like a passionate youth serving the country.
Zhao Yuan naturally didn't believe it. If it was put in his previous life, he who grew up in a greenhouse might believe it.But in this life, even though he is pampered and pampered, he has been exposed to various conspiracies and tricks since he was a child, how could he still believe in them?
When the young man saw Zhao Yuan's appearance, he knew that he would not believe it. Also, how could such a person immersed in officialdom believe that there would be such a childlike heart?
With a self-deprecating smile, he said: "The grassroots have been in Suzhou for a long time, there are many corrupt officials, and the grassroots have collected a lot of evidence. I think this is exactly what my lord needs to investigate the case. Are you brave enough to go home with the grassroots to get it? "
"Why, since it's something to be handed over to the officer, you didn't bring it with you?" Zhao Yuan mocked.
"Your Excellency also knows that this case is very involved. Cao Min has been here unannounced for a long time. Naturally, safety is the first priority, so the important things are naturally hidden at home. Cao Min knows that you will not travel alone. To be on the safe side, you The National People's Congress can allow them to show up and accompany them." The young man said frankly.
Zhao Yuan was so provoked, "I am still afraid that you will fail? Lead the way." He didn't ask the hidden guard to come out, and went out with the boy directly.It's not that Zhao Yuan can't be provoked, it's just that the young man is calm and doesn't seem to be fake, so he goes with him at ease.After so many years, among other things, he still has the ability to know people.
When we arrived at the young man's house, it looked like a wealthy family from the outside, but when we entered the inside, we realized that there was something unique and carefully crafted everywhere, and it was much more elegant than the house where Zhao Yuan lived temporarily. Zhao Yuan felt that this person was by no means simple .
As the young man entered the study, the young man looked out to make sure that no one had closed the study door, and some mechanism had been moved. In an instant, the doors and windows were covered, and there was no light in the room.Zhao Yuan was a little flustered at this time, he was still a little afraid of a room with no light at all, and if the villains wanted to take his life here, it would be extremely simple, he had no room to resist, and the room was instantly darkened, Even though Zhao Yuan had good eyesight, he couldn't see the inside of the room clearly at once.
The young man didn't speak, so Zhao Yuan couldn't possibly show his panic, so he forced himself to stand calmly. After that, he only heard the sound of the machine turning, and he was led around by the young man. It made Zhao Yuan even more sure that it was the woman who was right, and he just brought him here. Do you really have evidence for him?
As Zhao Yuan walked, he felt suddenly enlightened after taking dozens of steps.Gradually, the light came, and the young man led Zhao Yuan into the light, and then he let go and said, "The secret passage has many organs just now, if there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me." Have a hint of apology?
The author has something to say:
☆, solve the case
Although Zhao Yuan complained in his heart, he also understood that he was taking advantage of others, so he couldn't say anything more.
The young man didn't care about him, he went straight to the desk, and didn't know where he moved, but he saw that the originally thick stone wall began to turn slowly by itself.
"How many traps are you hiding in this room?" After all, Zhao Yuan saw this for the first time. So, how should I put it, ancient technology, he was very curious and couldn't help asking.
The young man still didn't answer, just stared at the stone wall, which made Zhao Yuan feel bored.
When the stone wall turned halfway, the young man suddenly grabbed Zhao Yuan, "Let's go." After speaking, he threw Zhao Yuan into the stone wall, and he also dodged to follow.That's right, it's throwing, it's flashing!
"Hey, what are you doing!" Zhao Yuan fell on a big horse, the stone wall was not like the bumps in the path, but was paved with stone bricks, Zhao Yuan was thrown on it all of a sudden, the shock was painful, and he said angrily.
"You're still a man, so you'll just babble when it hurts." The boy said disdainfully.
"Yes, I'm not, you are." Zhao Yuan countered.
"You," the young man was at a loss for words, she didn't expect Zhao Yuan to see her identity like this, "Isn't the imperial envoy stupid, after all the emperor is not as nepotistic as I thought." The young man changed his tone and said.
After the boy finished speaking, he started to grope for the closed door, Zhao Yuan guessed it was still some kind of mechanism. .Are you tired?Let's call it a boy.
After a while, the boy opened the drawers on both sides of the wall, and it turned out to be a drawer!Zhao Yuan only regarded it as a crack!After all, the walls are full of cracks, so how do you find them? !
"Here," the young man said, throwing two volumes of ledgers in front of Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan flipped through a few pages, all of which were records of local officials accepting bribes in the Jiangnan area. In the first two months, transactions were even more frequent.This saved me a lot of trouble.
"How did you find out about this?" Zhao Yuan asked. If the secret guards or the current manpower were used, they would not be able to find out so many within half a year. Even if there were so many, it would be impossible to have such details. The moment is suspicious of the teenager.
"Have you ever heard of Tantric Buddhism?" The young man raised his eyebrows, full of heroism, but he just looked at Zhao Yuan with such contempt.
"You, you are a Tantric sect!!!???" Zhao Yuan asked in surprise, if he is really a Tantric sect person, then it would not be surprising.He has also read a lot of information about Jianghu, and there are naturally rumors about Tantrism. Everyone only knows that this is a mysterious sect. Where to buy news, but no one knows what their sect is.
"If you are really a member of the Esoteric sect, how could you tell me so easily? Aren't you always very mysterious?" Zhao Yuan said questioningly.
"So what if you know? Are you able to catch me now, or do you remember the mechanism just now? Besides, so what if you remember? After all these years, isn't your court also able to do anything about us?" the young man said. "You are so stupid" expression, "You have the skill to question me, why don't you think about how to please me, so that I can let you out."
"Oh, then we'll just wait and see." Zhao Yuan replied indifferently.Since it is Tantric Buddhism, it must be for something to provide such important evidence for free. I am not afraid of being trapped here to death, and they still have to ask the master to help with things.
The young man looked at Zhao Yuan like this, and his teeth itch, but it was true that he couldn't do anything to him, but couldn't he trap him for a few days?Immediately clicked on Zhao Yuan's acupoints, pressed an unknown switch, stepped back, and only left Zhao Yuan with a light sentence, "The acupoints will self-resolve after two hours, adults can enjoy this wonderful time."
Zhao Yuan was naturally a little flustered, but thinking about the esoteric people, it is impossible for him to die like this, so he gained some confidence and did not yell at him. Who knows what he will face next, it is better to keep some The strength is also good to hold on.
Sure enough, Zhao Yuan's prediction was right, it was right to save energy and effort, for the next three days, no one brought him a meter of water, so he nestled in a corner for three days, every time he heard the pocket watch He felt that he was really hungry, really hungry, and he would even let him move bricks for a meal now!It's not that he hasn't looked for the mechanism, he has touched every place where the boy stood that day, but he couldn't find the mechanism, there is really no way.
When the hour hand pointed to four for the eighth time, the stone wall was finally opened again. Zhao Yuan looked at the person who came, it was the boy from last time.
"Why, don't you beg for mercy?" The young man looked at Zhao Yuan's despondent look, and asked with great dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yuan just looked at the boy quietly and didn't speak.
"So arrogant, eh?" the boy said in a nasal voice.
Nima is about to starve to death, who has the energy to talk to you!Zhao Yuan felt that he was about to explode with anger.
"Okay, okay, don't be so bitter
"Are you able to bear it these few days?" Zhao Yuan asked, "If it doesn't work tomorrow, let Boyu and the others go first. I'll stay with you for a few days. We'll start our journey when you're better. It's only a few days away from Suzhou. .”
"Where is it so delicate as you said? I can still bear this tiredness." Yun Xuan sweetly enjoyed Zhao Yuan's care, but refused because she was not willing to delay his errand.
"It's okay, the time is not tight this time, besides, they have to sort out the early things before they can show me. It doesn't matter if we go there later." Zhao Yuan explained.Of course he got the job this time, but now he couldn't bear to see Yun Xuan like this, that's all, anyway, his current reputation was already like this, so it didn't matter if he added another one, so he told a white lie.
The author has something to say:
☆, leave without saying goodbye
Yun Xuan had never been involved in the imperial court, but she always read the scriptures. Since Zhao Yuan was appointed as an imperial envoy, it was natural that he had to make up his mind on everything, so how could he believe what he said?
"You will lie to me all day long." Yun Xuan gave Zhao Yuan an angry look, "If you are really worried, I will rest here for a few days and go to Suzhou to find you after a few days when I feel better."
Zhao Yuan saw that Yun Xuan said that, and knew that she would not do it any more, so he nodded in agreement.
"I'll keep Yan Mo and Bai Yang, and I'll leave another team of guards for you," Zhao Yuan said, seeing Yun Xuan frowning and about to decline, "They are the guards of the palace, not the imperial court, so you don't have to worry."
Yun Xuan didn't refuse any more. She wanted to come with him at the beginning just on a whim, but later he agreed and was dazed for a while. She didn't expect how much trouble her identity would bring him. . .He had felt it since he set off, but now it seems that following him will cause him a lot of inconvenience.
"Master, the hand stove is ready, can you bring it in now?" The two people in the room heard Suyun's knock on the door to report.
"Bring it in." Zhao Yuan glanced at Yun Xuan, then sat back on the palace stool, before speaking to the outside world.
Hearing Zhao Yuan's voice, Suyun opened the door and walked in. As expected, she saw Yunxuan leaning on the upright pillow, and her grandfather was sitting on the small stool next to her to accompany her. It's nothing more than the daughter of the Xiao family. After all, Xiao Wan has always been known as a talented woman, with a noble status and an outstanding personality. It is understandable that the Lord likes her.Now, it is such a humble person who came from Goulan, why should he let the Lord take care of him like this?Do you have to take it with you when you go out?Why does my grandfather have to wait on the sidelines now? !
"Suyun, why are you so dazed, give me the hand stove." Zhao Yuan reminded Suyun not knowing what to think when he saw that Suyun had not moved.
Suyun's resentment was interrupted by Zhao Yuan, looking at Zhao Yuan's still kind face, he was even more aggrieved, handed the hand stove to Zhao Yuan without saying anything, made a hasty salute and left without waiting for Zhao Yuan to speak.
"What's wrong with Suyun today? She doesn't have such a hot temper on weekdays, but she looks more and more like Hongling. How can she get married?" Zhao Zi said to himself, and then handed the stove to Yun Xuan.
Yunxuan grew up in a brothel since she was a child. Observing words and feelings and guessing people's hearts are her compulsory courses. Naturally, these skills are not weak. Zhao Yuan and Suyun have known each other for a long time, so they don't think too much. Suyun is impatient with her. Understatement, she can not pay attention, but she really felt it, but she couldn't say anything, seeing Zhao Yuan handing over the hand stove, she just took it.
Seeing the genuine concern in Zhao Yuan's eyes, Yun Xuan secretly made up her mind.Afterwards, he returned to his usual calm appearance.
"Your stove is really delicate." Yun Xuan received the stove in her hand, and immediately felt a sense of warmth. She also saw that the stove was made of a whole piece of ink-painted jadeite, and it felt warm and moist to the touch. The ten sceneries of West Lake were carved extremely Simulation, just looking at it makes people feel refreshed.
"Naturally, this is my favorite hand stove, how can it be rough?" Seeing that Yun Xuan seemed to be getting better, Zhao Yuan said proudly.
Yunxuan is now in a weak state, and she has thought a lot, and has no intention of arguing with him, "Yes, how can the prince be worthy of vulgar things? Yunxuan is not feeling well today, so she has to rest earlier, you Come back first."
Zhao Yuan understood Yun Xuan's pain, after all, he was tortured to death by his aunt every time in his previous life, but he still said: "I asked Suyun to prepare dinner, you should eat dinner before going to sleep, no matter how uncomfortable you are You can't stop eating."
When Yunxuan heard Suyun's name, she suddenly thought of the gap between the two of them, and really lost all thought of eating.
"No need, if I'm hungry at night, I'll let Que'er order some food, but now I'm very sleepy, you go first." Seeing Zhao Yuan's concern for her as always, Yun Xuan couldn't help feeling angry Out of him, just perfunctory casually.
Zhao Yuan didn't force it either, and after Yun Xuan lay down, he tucked the quilt carefully for her before leaving.
On the second day Zhao Yuan greeted Yun Xuan and went to Suzhou with the main force, leaving behind Yanmo Baiyang and a group of guards.Bai Yang Yanmo followed Zhao Yuan for a long time, and he always obeyed his orders, but he didn't have Suyun's thought of looking down on Yun Xuan, he just took care of him wholeheartedly, waiting to meet his master in the future.But looking at the attitude of the master recently, the two of them have been extremely polite to Yun Xuan during the past few days.
"Young masters, Yunxuan has made up her mind, and I invite you two, Haihan." Yunxuan was blessed, Yan Mo and Bai Yang hurriedly avoided.
"Miss Yun, you know that the master usually hates being unfavorable. If he knows that we let you go back to Beijing, he will definitely be furious. I hope Miss Yun will understand." Yan Mo said.
"That's right, Master will definitely skin us. Miss Yun will still find Master with us in Suzhou." Bai Yang said hastily.
Yun Xuan understands that her trip to Suzhou this time will definitely bring great trouble to Zhao Yuan. She has proved what she thinks a few days ago, and thinking of Zhao Yuan's kindness to her, she is even more determined not to go to Suzhou again: It's fine if you can't help him, if you still drag him down, then you are too ignorant.
"I will make it clear to the son in the letter that he will not blame the two young masters. Please also the two young masters, Haihan, don't worry about Yun Xuan's disrespect. Queer, let's go." Yun Xuan took out the letter and took it Follow the magpie and go out.
Yan Mo hurriedly walked in front of Yun Xuan, "Since Miss Yun has made up her mind, we brothers can't say anything else, let me escort Miss back to Beijing, otherwise if something happens on the way, we will die gone."
It's hard for Yun Xuan to refuse any more, and it's a little bit of a blessing, "You've worked hard to study Mr. Mo."
Yan Mo hurriedly waved his hands and said he didn't dare, and then said to Bai Yang: "Go and report to the Lord, so that the Lord won't worry."
After finishing speaking, he went to the backyard to set up a carriage, and thought to himself: Why do everyone he likes like this!
When Yun Xuan and others were still on their way back to Beijing, Zhao Yuan had already received Yun Xuan's letter. Sitting behind the yellow pear wood desk, Zhao Yuan asked, "Did Miss Yun say why she came back to Beijing?"
"Miss Yun didn't say anything, but the little one looked a little bit uninterested." Bai Yang didn't wait for Zhao Yuan to ask, and directly said everything about himself, the face of the master is really dark, I'm so scared , Brother, come and save me.
Zhao Yuan looked at the letter, "Forget it, you go down first, and when Yan Mo returns, let him come to me directly."
"Yes, my little one will leave." Bai Yang saluted and ran out of the study as if to escape.
Zhao Yuan arrived in Suzhou a few days ago. Originally, the imperial envoy came to visit, so he should live in the government office, but who doesn't know how particular about Prince Jing's son's clothing, food, housing and transportation?Who would dare to let him live in a mansion that has not been renovated for so many years?At least the local officials didn't dare, and now it's too late to renovate. Fortunately, there are many wealthy merchants in the Jiangnan area, so they confiscated the mansion of a wealthy merchant.
Naturally, the wealthy businessman moved out happily with his family. After all, a house is not worth a lot to him. If he can use this to please his son, it is worth the money. Does everyone look jealous?This time I have grown up in Suzhou Mansion.The rich businessman thought silently.
Although King Jing's Mansion was also built in the style of the gardens in the Jiangnan area, it is not in the Jiangnan area after all. It is still a bit inferior in terms of flavor, but it is more elegant.This mansion is simply piled up with money!If Yunxuan saw it, she would definitely say that she smelled like a nouveau riche everywhere.Zhao Yuan originally wanted to experience the authentic taste of Suzhou gardens, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a place.However, everyone was exhausted, and it was difficult for him to make changes. Compared with the government office, he still preferred to live here, so he didn't say anything for a while.The officials of the Suzhou government thought that the son was satisfied, and they were relieved for a while.
In the past few days, Zhao Yuan has been running around for various entertainments, congratulating him on his success as a young man, and welcoming him, in short, there are all kinds of people, and the banquets for entertaining him have been scheduled for half a month.
Zhao Yuan was happy to use these pretense to dissuade everyone's vigilance, so he pretended to be intoxicated and obsessed with it every day. When the officials saw it, they felt that they had used the right method.Earlier, I heard that Shi Ziye brought the number one oiran of the capital with him on this trip, but he didn't see him on the day of pick-up, and it was difficult for everyone to ask, but he was sure of one thing in his heart: Shi Ziye must like beauties .I just waited to coax him well, waited for him to have a good time and go back to Beijing earlier.
On the surface, Zhao Yuan was pretending to spend the whole day drinking and drinking, and was not thinking about business, but in the dark, he had people check the people who entertained him and those who did not entertain him. There is a list below, check them one by one.There are a lot of people, and it will take some time to check them all. Zhao Yuan will use these days to gather more details at the banquet.
Just as Bai Yang quit that day, Wen Min'an came to see him.
"What's the matter, Mr. Wen?" Zhao Yuan asked.
In the past few days, Zhao Yuan has not hidden Wen Min'an's secret and vigorous means, and he is investigating all aspects of Chunwei.Although Wen Min'an had to admit that the division of labor this time was very reasonable, and the explanations were also very detailed. Judging from these, the prince should not be a rich man, but there are too many rumors about this prince on weekdays, and he dare not fully understand it. To change Zhao Yuan's opinion, it is only as if these measures were explained by the emperor and King Jing before he left, but he still has to report the progress of the matter.
"Returning to my son, according to the investigation of the officials, I am afraid that this time the spring will be very involved." Wen Min'an replied.
Zhao Yuan, who was involved in Chunwei this time, knew about it a long time ago, otherwise, could there be such a big wave with just a few people?
"These descendants know about it, Mr. Wen said the key points." Zhao Yuan said.
Wen Min'an was afraid that Zhao Yuan would not be able to understand, so he started from the beginning and went into more detail. Who knew that he would block him with a single sentence and think he was too wordy, so he was taken aback for a moment, but seeing that Prince Jing's mind can turn so fast, he shouldn't be stupid He is a talented person, so that he can save himself a lot of effort in running errands in the future.
"The cheating incident was exposed this time because a prefecture and county under Suzhou arrested many cheating candidates. These people were not angry for a while, and they were implicated in other examination rooms, so they exposed the matter." Wen Min'an said.
"What? So they cheated because someone was supporting them behind the scenes? Why did something happen in this area?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"This is exactly what I mean. I have interrogated some of the examinees today. This is the confession and some evidence collected recently. This time, someone leaked the exam questions in advance. There were yamen servants in the exam room who secretly passed the answers. What's more There are guns to replace them!" Wen Min'an said so far, he was so angry that he was really a rich man of the country! "The reason why something happened here is that the new Jiangsu Governor Zuo Xinming took the examination room and he took people to inspect the examination room without notifying him in advance. It was also because those yamen servants were too blatant, and Mr. Zuo caught a lot of them at once. The exams of those candidates involved in the case were suspended."
If there were no officials to back them up, how could these yamen servants dare to act so boldly!How could these test questions be leaked without the backing of officials!Without the support of officials, how dare these juren risk losing their fame and reputation to do such things!
"Don't worry, Mr. Wen. We will find out these people one by one, and we won't let them go. We came here this time to deal with these people. We need Mr. Wen to worry about the investigation." Zhao Yuan said .
"I don't dare, I hope the son will pay more attention to this case, and don't be blinded by the momentary joy." Wen Min'an said cautiously.
"Master Wen, if you have nothing to do, go down first and do your job well." Zhao Yuan didn't want to explain to Wen Min'an more, this person is too straightforward, even if he is old and stubborn, he can't understand it ,forget it.
Wen Min'an had already finished what he had to do, and reminding Zhao Yuan was just a passing mention. Seeing that he didn't intend to listen, he didn't bother to say any more, so he stopped procrastinating and left directly.
"Write," Zhao Yuan called out.
Writer was originally guarding in front of the door, but now he heard Zhao Yuan's summons, so he hurried in.
"Master," he called out after writing the salute, then stood respectfully aside and remained still.
"Go and invite Uncle Jia." Zhao Yuan ordered.Jia Zhengwei is a loyal man, he can't do it if he is asked to act, so Zhao Yuan simply let him push all the posts, and let him go to collect evidence with peace of mind.
Jia Zhengwei came after a while, and the two got used to getting along in private, and they didn't stick to those rituals, "Brother Yuan, what do you want me for? Don't you have a banquet today?"
"There is no one like you who asks questions one after another when you first come here. The banquet master will go back later. When you go back, send some hidden guards to Mr. Wen. This investigation is very dangerous. Let me look around him I'm afraid her guards are not that useful, so you should be more careful." Zhao Yuan originally sent guards for her and them, but because too many people's interests were involved this time, it might lead to danger.Now seeing what Wen Min'an said, the person behind the instigation is afraid that his official position is not low, so he is even more concerned and sent out some of the hidden guards.
Jia Zhengwei has always been very confident in his martial arts, he didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but seeing Zhao Yuan's stern expression, he felt apprehensive, so he nodded in response, fearing that this incident would really get complicated.
"I have to go to the banquet later, so I won't keep you. Be careful." Zhao Yuan instructed.
"Brother Yuan, don't worry, you are too. When dealing with those old foxes, be more careful." Jia Zhengwei saw Zhao Yuan nodded before leaving in peace.
Zhao Yuan sat down and wrote something again, before getting ready to change clothes and go to the banquet.
The author has something to say: The second update will be broadcast today
☆, nobleman
"The prince is here, please take a seat." Zhao Yuan had just entered the box when someone shouted and arranged a seat for him immediately.
"My lords, please be polite, this son is delayed by some matters, please don't blame him, please don't blame him." Zhao Yuan cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"Where is it, if the son is really ashamed, he will punish himself with three cups later." Someone was already booing.
Zhang Wenxing, governor of Suzhou, was hosting the banquet today. Zhao Yuan thought that if he wanted to understand the details of Suzhou, he had to start from here.
The person who made a fuss just now was Zhang Chengjin, the prime minister of Suzhou.Zhao Yuan already knew these people one by one when he came to pick him up, he has never forgotten them, so he naturally knows all these people.
Seeing that Fu Yin Zhang Wenxing was just twitching his beard and smiling, and had no intention of stopping him, Zhao Yuan knew that this group of people probably thought of him as a kid who loves to be lively, and those in his age group love to fight hard at banquets Liquor, loves all kinds of entertainment, doesn't care about it at the moment, just said: "This is natural, natural."
After a banquet, Zhao Yuan heard a lot of bad things about Jiangnan governor Zuo Xinming. If Wen Min'an hadn't reported it first, he might have questioned Zuo Xinming's character. After all, it would take a lot of time to check it now Sometimes, who knows if something will happen again just for a while.
However, at the banquet, Zhao Yuan still expressed righteously that he would never tolerate Yunyun, and then he left with alcohol.After a few days of toasting, Zhao Yuan had a good drinker and was exhausted, but he really wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he didn't have to play Tai Chi with this group of people all day long.
"Is the son still having fun today? I know a good place to keep the son happy, and I don't want to miss it." Zhang Chengjin flattered me.
Looking at his wretched appearance, Zhao Yuan knew where it was, and felt even more disgusted in his heart. He waved his hands and said, "Master is tired today, so I'll go back home first."
At this time, Zhao Yuan didn't know that he was troubled here, and because he was not easy on the other side of the court, it was probably the supervisory censor who joined him last time, Qiao Mu, who joined him again, saying that he despised him. Huang En, such a big hat, after all, it is just a matter for Yun Xuan to accompany her.However, all the papers written by Qiao Mu were rejected, and the emperor ignored them.Furthermore, now that Yun Xuan has returned to Beijing, even if she wants to say something, she has nothing to say.
Zhao Yuan returned home reeking of alcohol, and as soon as he entered his courtyard, Suyun came up to him and supported him, "Why did you drink so much again today? It's hard to be kind, but you still have to take care of your own health." ah."
Zhao Yuan didn't answer, he only used Suyun's strength to walk into the house, and when the water was prepared, he went to wash and prepare to go to bed.
"Master," Suyun hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yuan was already extremely sleepy and a little impatient, but after all, he was the one who took care of him when he grew up, and he didn't want to refute her face too much, so he asked patiently.
"No, it's all right. This servant just wants to see if you're asleep." Su Yun stammered back.
Originally, Zhao Yuan felt uncomfortable when he was drunk, but when he saw Suyun's eyes dodging, he didn't bother to ask any more, and suddenly fell into a drowsy sleep.
When he woke up the next day, accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the ancient fresh air, and the bright spring sunshine, Zhao Yuan said that he felt refreshed and happy.The waiter woke up, recalling Suyun's appearance last night, and asked: "Yesterday you were hesitant to say something, and then I fell asleep and didn't hear what you said. What's the matter?"
Suyun checked Zhao Yuan's attire again, and after confirming that it was all right, he replied: "Yesterday, Master Yin Zhang of the Suzhou Mansion sent four or four beautiful concubines."
"What did you give?" Zhao Yuan couldn't hear clearly, so he had to ask again.
"Here are four beautiful concubines." Suyun managed to speak louder, and replied.
Zhao Yuan felt that if there were special effects, there should be a crow flying over his head now, followed by an ellipsis. . .
"My lord Fu Yin said that this place is not as good as Jingli after all, and the boys are not careful. If the master doesn't like these beautiful concubines, it's better to keep them as rough servants." Suyun replied anxiously.
She knew that Zhao Yuan was always different from ordinary people in terms of emotions, and she hated those women who jumped on him the most. He was not happy when the princess wanted to point out his room to him last time, but this time he was just an outsider, so he might be angry .
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan didn't get angry as she thought this time, he just let out an oh to show that he knew, and there was no more to say.It was far beyond her expectation.
"Then, Lord, what should we do with these four?" Suyun asked cautiously.
"Then let them do the rough work, what's the point?" Zhao Yuan said.
Sure enough, he was still angry. . .Su Yun thought.
But to say that is to let Suyun arrange it at will.Of course, it was impossible for Suyun to let the four of them really do menial jobs like washing and washing. After all, they were sent by the local officials, so they couldn't ignore this little face, so they just sent some easy jobs.
After more than half a month, Zhao Yuan finally ended these continuous invitations.At the beginning, I only accepted posts from important officials, but I never expected that there would be so many. Fortunately, I only picked up important ones, otherwise, when I returned from my errands, I would be so drunk.
Zhao Yuan has been in Suzhou for so long, but he hasn't experienced the charm of Suzhou and Hangzhou. It's rare to end the invitation, so today is naturally going to have a good time.
Suzhou gardens are famous in my previous life, and I went to play with Xiao Wan, but it was summer vacation, the weather was hot, and there were many people. Although the two thought these classical things were beautiful and fun, but But there were too many people, the tour guide was fast, and he didn't have much fun.With such unique conditions in this life, although the gardens are all private mansions now, it is impossible for me to play freely, but looking at the customs of Suzhou can be regarded as a memory of the previous life.
Zhao Yuan didn't bring them to write today, but only brought some hidden guards for them to guard secretly. He always felt that a group of people followed him, not like traveling, but like inspecting.
Originally today, he wanted to recall his past life by revisiting Suzhou. Zhao Yuan didn't know why, but his impression of Xiao Wan's past life became more and more blurred. When he saw the bustling streets, he thought that if Yun Xuan would Now, how nice it is for two people to travel together; when I see the booth, I think about how nice this hairpin would be if Yunxuan was wearing it; when I buy things by myself, I wonder if Yunxuan is the same as me.
It's okay to be busy on weekdays, but when I'm free, my mind is full of Yun Xuan, how could it be, what about Xiao Wan?
Zhao Yuan was tired from wandering alone, this time he was not picky, so he found a restaurant on the second floor and sat by the window at random.I ordered a few plates of authentic Suzhou snacks and a pot of tea, and sat by the window looking at the scenery and thinking about something.
"Brother, would you mind sitting at the same table with my younger brother?" Zhao Yuan was thinking about something, and suddenly a handsome young man in a white round-neck gown with light green bamboo leaf satin trim suddenly said, which scared Zhao Yuan With a jump, the tea in the cup also overflowed a little.
Zhao Yuan was not hesitant, he looked up and saw the pierced earlobe of this person, he knew it was a woman disguised as a man, he was even more impatient, "There is still a seat next to him."
"This young master has his eyes on this table." The originally modest boy suddenly became arrogant again.
Zhao Yuan had something on his mind, he didn't want to get entangled with others, so he threw the ingot of silver on the table and was about to get up and leave, but he was stopped by the young man again.
"What on earth are you trying to do?" Zhao Yuan asked angrily.
"It's all just to provide some information, my lord imperial envoy." The boy said frivolously, the boy's voice was soft, and the two of them were very close. In the eyes of others, it was only as if the two were bosom friends and they were talking secret words. Not too surprised.
When Zhao Yuan heard the word "Imperial Envoy", he was shocked that this person knew his identity. After all, when he picked up the driver, he cleared the scene, and he usually took a sedan chair when he went out of the house. Whenever he went to a banquet, he was either at the minister's house or cleared There are really very few people who know their identities in the restaurant market, except for officials.
"Who leaked my whereabouts to you." Zhao Yuan sat back on his seat and said calmly.But he went over the names of the people who learned about his trip today over and over in his mind.
"My lord, there is no need to think too hard. Today's matter was followed by the grass-roots themselves, and no one else leaked the secret." After the young man finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yuan with a look of disbelief, and continued: "More than that, I also know, Although on the surface you danced and danced, you actually ordered someone to secretly investigate the case involved, how is your progress?"
As for the case investigation, Zhao Yuan and others are secretive, and there are hidden guards accompanying them. It is absolutely impossible to let outsiders know easily. If this person is hostile, he must not remain in the world.Thinking about it, Zhao Yuan already moved his hands to inform the hidden guards, who knew Zhao Yuan had just made a move, but the young man saw through it at a glance, "Your Excellency, it's better not to do things in vain, if the grass-roots people intend to harm you, I'm afraid it's time for you to kill him." I'm going to see the late emperor." The young man chuckled, pinching Zhao Yuan's arm, Zhao Yuan was about to move, but he couldn't move the slightest bit, and seeing the young man, or the young girl in a calm manner, knew that he Unable to fight, he waved his hand to make the hidden guard in the dark back, and asked again: "Then I don't know why you came to see Zhao so deliberately, why?"
"It seems that you are quite transparent, and you always put on your official airs. I don't know if the grassroots will be depressed for a while, and just break the pampered arm of the lord." The young man sarcastically said.
"What's the matter? If it's just for teasing, please forgive Zhao for not being with me." Zhao Yuan saw that this person didn't get to the point for a long time, and he hated the feeling of being controlled by others so much, he was very impatient.
"Don't worry, my lord. It's just that my lord is a rare person who wants to do something, and I just want to help you." The boy still said slowly.
"What's the plan?" Zhao Yuan didn't believe that there was such a thing as pie in the sky.
"For the country, for the community, punish corrupt officials, common people complain, adults can be trusted?" The young man looked like a passionate youth serving the country.
Zhao Yuan naturally didn't believe it. If it was put in his previous life, he who grew up in a greenhouse might believe it.But in this life, even though he is pampered and pampered, he has been exposed to various conspiracies and tricks since he was a child, how could he still believe in them?
When the young man saw Zhao Yuan's appearance, he knew that he would not believe it. Also, how could such a person immersed in officialdom believe that there would be such a childlike heart?
With a self-deprecating smile, he said: "The grassroots have been in Suzhou for a long time, there are many corrupt officials, and the grassroots have collected a lot of evidence. I think this is exactly what my lord needs to investigate the case. Are you brave enough to go home with the grassroots to get it? "
"Why, since it's something to be handed over to the officer, you didn't bring it with you?" Zhao Yuan mocked.
"Your Excellency also knows that this case is very involved. Cao Min has been here unannounced for a long time. Naturally, safety is the first priority, so the important things are naturally hidden at home. Cao Min knows that you will not travel alone. To be on the safe side, you The National People's Congress can allow them to show up and accompany them." The young man said frankly.
Zhao Yuan was so provoked, "I am still afraid that you will fail? Lead the way." He didn't ask the hidden guard to come out, and went out with the boy directly.It's not that Zhao Yuan can't be provoked, it's just that the young man is calm and doesn't seem to be fake, so he goes with him at ease.After so many years, among other things, he still has the ability to know people.
When we arrived at the young man's house, it looked like a wealthy family from the outside, but when we entered the inside, we realized that there was something unique and carefully crafted everywhere, and it was much more elegant than the house where Zhao Yuan lived temporarily. Zhao Yuan felt that this person was by no means simple .
As the young man entered the study, the young man looked out to make sure that no one had closed the study door, and some mechanism had been moved. In an instant, the doors and windows were covered, and there was no light in the room.Zhao Yuan was a little flustered at this time, he was still a little afraid of a room with no light at all, and if the villains wanted to take his life here, it would be extremely simple, he had no room to resist, and the room was instantly darkened, Even though Zhao Yuan had good eyesight, he couldn't see the inside of the room clearly at once.
The young man didn't speak, so Zhao Yuan couldn't possibly show his panic, so he forced himself to stand calmly. After that, he only heard the sound of the machine turning, and he was led around by the young man. It made Zhao Yuan even more sure that it was the woman who was right, and he just brought him here. Do you really have evidence for him?
As Zhao Yuan walked, he felt suddenly enlightened after taking dozens of steps.Gradually, the light came, and the young man led Zhao Yuan into the light, and then he let go and said, "The secret passage has many organs just now, if there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me." Have a hint of apology?
The author has something to say:
☆, solve the case
Although Zhao Yuan complained in his heart, he also understood that he was taking advantage of others, so he couldn't say anything more.
The young man didn't care about him, he went straight to the desk, and didn't know where he moved, but he saw that the originally thick stone wall began to turn slowly by itself.
"How many traps are you hiding in this room?" After all, Zhao Yuan saw this for the first time. So, how should I put it, ancient technology, he was very curious and couldn't help asking.
The young man still didn't answer, just stared at the stone wall, which made Zhao Yuan feel bored.
When the stone wall turned halfway, the young man suddenly grabbed Zhao Yuan, "Let's go." After speaking, he threw Zhao Yuan into the stone wall, and he also dodged to follow.That's right, it's throwing, it's flashing!
"Hey, what are you doing!" Zhao Yuan fell on a big horse, the stone wall was not like the bumps in the path, but was paved with stone bricks, Zhao Yuan was thrown on it all of a sudden, the shock was painful, and he said angrily.
"You're still a man, so you'll just babble when it hurts." The boy said disdainfully.
"Yes, I'm not, you are." Zhao Yuan countered.
"You," the young man was at a loss for words, she didn't expect Zhao Yuan to see her identity like this, "Isn't the imperial envoy stupid, after all the emperor is not as nepotistic as I thought." The young man changed his tone and said.
After the boy finished speaking, he started to grope for the closed door, Zhao Yuan guessed it was still some kind of mechanism. .Are you tired?Let's call it a boy.
After a while, the boy opened the drawers on both sides of the wall, and it turned out to be a drawer!Zhao Yuan only regarded it as a crack!After all, the walls are full of cracks, so how do you find them? !
"Here," the young man said, throwing two volumes of ledgers in front of Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan flipped through a few pages, all of which were records of local officials accepting bribes in the Jiangnan area. In the first two months, transactions were even more frequent.This saved me a lot of trouble.
"How did you find out about this?" Zhao Yuan asked. If the secret guards or the current manpower were used, they would not be able to find out so many within half a year. Even if there were so many, it would be impossible to have such details. The moment is suspicious of the teenager.
"Have you ever heard of Tantric Buddhism?" The young man raised his eyebrows, full of heroism, but he just looked at Zhao Yuan with such contempt.
"You, you are a Tantric sect!!!???" Zhao Yuan asked in surprise, if he is really a Tantric sect person, then it would not be surprising.He has also read a lot of information about Jianghu, and there are naturally rumors about Tantrism. Everyone only knows that this is a mysterious sect. Where to buy news, but no one knows what their sect is.
"If you are really a member of the Esoteric sect, how could you tell me so easily? Aren't you always very mysterious?" Zhao Yuan said questioningly.
"So what if you know? Are you able to catch me now, or do you remember the mechanism just now? Besides, so what if you remember? After all these years, isn't your court also able to do anything about us?" the young man said. "You are so stupid" expression, "You have the skill to question me, why don't you think about how to please me, so that I can let you out."
"Oh, then we'll just wait and see." Zhao Yuan replied indifferently.Since it is Tantric Buddhism, it must be for something to provide such important evidence for free. I am not afraid of being trapped here to death, and they still have to ask the master to help with things.
The young man looked at Zhao Yuan like this, and his teeth itch, but it was true that he couldn't do anything to him, but couldn't he trap him for a few days?Immediately clicked on Zhao Yuan's acupoints, pressed an unknown switch, stepped back, and only left Zhao Yuan with a light sentence, "The acupoints will self-resolve after two hours, adults can enjoy this wonderful time."
Zhao Yuan was naturally a little flustered, but thinking about the esoteric people, it is impossible for him to die like this, so he gained some confidence and did not yell at him. Who knows what he will face next, it is better to keep some The strength is also good to hold on.
Sure enough, Zhao Yuan's prediction was right, it was right to save energy and effort, for the next three days, no one brought him a meter of water, so he nestled in a corner for three days, every time he heard the pocket watch He felt that he was really hungry, really hungry, and he would even let him move bricks for a meal now!It's not that he hasn't looked for the mechanism, he has touched every place where the boy stood that day, but he couldn't find the mechanism, there is really no way.
When the hour hand pointed to four for the eighth time, the stone wall was finally opened again. Zhao Yuan looked at the person who came, it was the boy from last time.
"Why, don't you beg for mercy?" The young man looked at Zhao Yuan's despondent look, and asked with great dissatisfaction.
Zhao Yuan just looked at the boy quietly and didn't speak.
"So arrogant, eh?" the boy said in a nasal voice.
Nima is about to starve to death, who has the energy to talk to you!Zhao Yuan felt that he was about to explode with anger.
"Okay, okay, don't be so bitter
