Startled Meng

The news in the palace spread quickly, and the outside of the palace did not give way too much.

The plaque of the Imperial Merchant has not yet been handed down, everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it, no matter if it is true or not, many people went to congratulate, and the Chang family of Chang County has earned enough face.

Boss Chang sat high on his horse, his face flushed, he almost had the word "Huangshang" carved on his forehead, but when he passed the teahouse, he snorted triumphantly.

Upstairs, Yu Fangzhi was sitting by the window, looking genuinely happy for Boss Chang, holding a glass of wine to congratulate.

Yu Fang knew whether he cared, Xiao Qing cared very much, when the person walked away, he spat hard, after spitting, put his hands in his hands, and sneaked a few glances at Yu to know, he didn't know what he was talking about, In short, not a good word.

"Okay! If you roll your eyes again, your eyes will fall out!" Yu Fangzhi casually spilled the wine in the glass, and said helplessly, "Who told you to bet with the Chang family? Can you be more generous?"

Xiaoqing couldn't help but said, "On weekdays, I only heard that the Chang family in Changjun sells dog skin plasters, so how come they started the cloth business now? They even beat us... there must be something inside!"

After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes and looked at Yu Yu to know: "The young master must be holding on to the price and refuse to let go. He is not willing to do business with us anymore!"

Yu Fangzhi laughed when he heard this, and threw a handful of melon seeds over, "Is that why you want to be an imperial merchant?"

He wanted to tell Xiaoqing that being an imperial merchant was not as glorious as he imagined, but he saw Xiaoqing bowed his head to pick up the melon seeds on the ground, and muttered in his mouth: "Master, the reason you want to go to Beijing is to run for the imperial merchant, and now you can't do it. Master wants to urge you to go back to Jiangling, what should we do?"

Yu Fangzhi asked, "Didn't you really want to go back to Jiangling?"

Xiaoqing shook her head, and looked at Yu Fangzhi with grievance, "Jiangling is a sad place, I don't want to go back."

Xiaoqing said so, Yufangzhi knew the reason, Yufeng, who had been thinking about it at the beginning, was married to Yuwanqian as concubine No.19, Xiaoqing was disheartened, and she was determined to go to Beijing with Yufangzhi .

Yu Fang knew that he was not very good at coaxing people, so he casually threw a bag of money over and said: "How much you lose in a bet with outsiders, I will pay for you."

"Master..." Xiaoqing looked at Yu Fangzhi gratefully.

"Don't!" Yu Fangzhi heard the sound of the wheels downstairs, and said as he walked, "It's just small money, use it for fun, just don't come to recruit me today."

Xiaoqing nodded, watching Yu Fangzhi go downstairs, then trotted to the window with the money bag in her hand and looked down.

He didn't see anything, but Yu Fangzhi jumped into the sedan chair quickly, and then the sedan chair shook for a long time.

He guessed the person in the sedan chair right, it was their Jiangling magistrate, Mr. Yan.

"Imperial Merchant lost the election, Master Yan didn't comfort me either, and just lifted the curtain to watch the scenery."

Yan Cijing smiled when he heard that, put down the car curtain, looked down at Yu Fangzhi who was leaning on his lap, and said, "Wei Cheng didn't recommend your Yu family, and didn't participate in the election, so why did you lose the election?" ?”

What's more, his expression, which he knew from watching the language, is to pretend to be disappointed, and he still wants to play with his hair?Comfort is true.

Yan Cijing said: "I came all the way, and the shopkeeper in your shop seems to be very disappointed."

They already know the key point, but other people don't know it. Yu Fangzhi said nonchalantly: "Yes, they are more likely to win than me, so I won't hang around in front of them today, and let them arrange me as they like." .”

Yan Cijing continued: "Guess you are disheartened? Annoyed and angry? You shouldn't be the most angry today."

Yu Fangzhi and Yan Cijing looked at each other, and said: "It's a coincidence today, Hu Ge is going to leave Beijing for exile, why Zhang Shaoqiu only cares about his own anger, even disregarding the old friendship, and won't see him off?"

The carriage was bumping all the time, Yan Cijing helped Fuyu Fangzhi's shoulders, and went up along the skirt of his clothes, tidying up the broken hair around his ears, and asked: "So you made a 'wedding dress' for Zhang Shaoqiu, send Xiao Wu To send Hu Ge?"

Yu Fangzhi grabbed Yan Cijing's hand and kissed it, and said with a smile, "I was going to tell you."

Yan Cijing replied: "I just find it strange why the driver today is Ruku and not Xiaowu. I didn't realize it until I heard you say goodbye."

A confidant is rare, and while being touched by the language, he couldn't help worrying that Yan Cijing would not understand him, so he silently held the hand next to his ear.

"Hu Ge was transferred to leave Beijing because he didn't make a clear cut with Mr. Meng. Hu Ge did something wrong today. You can't help him escape, but you won't stand by and watch."

Yu Fangzhi smiled and pulled the hand to his heart and put it away, saying: "It's just that Xiao Wu was sent to protect him for a while, how can you make me look like a good person?"

Yan Cijing smiled shallowly. He agreed with Yu Fangzhi's approach. After laughing, he said again: "You don't have to worry about other things, but I think you worked hard to avenge your father."

Yu Fangzhi was taken aback, and avoided his probing gaze by kissing the back of Yan Cijing's hand.

He almost forgot that he was the one who lied to Yan Cijing, saying that he was entrusted by Yu Wanqian to avenge Master Meng.

Yu Fangzhi looked at Yan Cijing's concentration on helping him organize his clothes, and really didn't know how to confess his true identity to him.

You can't hide it for a lifetime, but now is not a good time, just wait...

Fortunately, Yan Cijing didn't notice anything, and quickly changed the subject.

"I thought Master Fu would invite me into the mansion if he wanted to see me, but I didn't expect it to be in Dali Temple."

Last year, many things happened in Jiangling, including the suppression of bandits and the defection of Luo Sheng. The dossiers of the two incidents had to be sent to Dali Temple for review. Many details in the dossiers were related to old events, so before handing them in, Yan Cijing checked many details. They all disappeared.

This move does not delay the case, but anyone with a heart can tell at a glance that Fu Chun is now acting like a businessman, as if he has not found anything wrong with it.

Yu Fangzhi thought of Fu Chun who he saw when he was imprisoned in Dali Temple before, and said: "Master Fu is old, if he doesn't want to delve into the past, I won't force him."

Yan Cijing didn't know Fu Chun well, so he just had a look.

The car had stopped, Yu Fangzhi jumped out first, and then helped Yan Cijing get out of the car.

A long time ago, Yousi was waiting at the door, and went in to greet Yan Cijing, "I have met Master Yan." The person next to Master Yan... looked familiar, so he took a second look.

Let's say it's a small official serving, his appearance and demeanor are too outstanding, he follows Lord Yan, but he is not inferior to Lord Yan in imposing manner, the two of them standing together can't tell the dignity.

"Master Yan, please." Sizheng led the two into the small room, and as soon as the door was closed, Fu Chun's laughter gradually came out, and Sizheng walked away in surprise.

Not only Si Zheng was surprised, but Yan Cijing was also surprised. Before coming here, Yu Fangzhi said that Fu Chun and Yu Wanqian were old acquaintances, but he didn't expect it to be so good. Fu Chun completely regarded Yu Fangzhi as a close junior, hugging and clapping Yes, and asked Yu Fangzhi to go to his house for dinner.

Fortunately, Yu Fangzhi still hadn't forgotten the purpose of his coming, so he flashed to Yan Cijing's side and said, "I'll come to visit another day, junior, today I'm here with Master Yan."

Fu Chun did not forget the scene of the two confronting each other in the hall, and now it is amazing that the past grievances have been resolved, presumably he solved the misunderstanding in Jiangling, but today he asked Yan Cijing to come to discuss the matter together, and it has nothing to do with it Well, I can listen in.

"Xiaoyu, you go out first, let me have a few words with Lord Yan."

Yan Cijing said: "Master Fu, Mr. Yu was brought here specially by the lower officials. He has participated in all Jiangling affairs, so he doesn't need to avoid it."

Fu Chun looked at Yu Fangzhi suspiciously, and asked, "It is said in the case that Jiang Tu of Muzhou collected a low price and sold it at a high price, but it did not specify where the silver went."

He also explained: "This case has long been settled, but there are still many details that I don't know. I hereby ask this question not to reverse the case, but to clarify doubts."

Yu Fang knew: "Master Fu's guess is correct, the silver is going to Ye City, so this case will be closed early." He added, "I don't know who Jiang Tu has contact with."

Fu Chun: "Then what happened to Luo Sheng in Jiangling? Why did he have contact with the Flying Woman? It wasn't stated in the case, and now Luo Shenghai's arrest document has been posted for several months, and there is no news at all."

Yan Cijing was silent for a while, and said: "Many years ago, the gang of tooth bandits headed by Yingpo was raging in Jiangling. Mr. Fu had a good relationship with the prefect at that time. The inside story is unknown to others, so Mr. Fu must know something."

Fu Chun remained silent, looking suspiciously at the letter handed over by Yan Cijing. The repeated appearance of "Xin Ru An Hao" on the letter paper made him unable to hide his astonishment. He first glanced up and down at Yan Cijing, as if he had met him for the first time. Examine the language to know.

Yan Cijing was not afraid to scrutinize: "Someone once told me that the word Jiangling is sensitive, and those who are interested will know it as soon as they hear it. Now, seeing Mr. Fu's expression, they know that this statement is true."

The word Jiangling was specifically mentioned. Fu Chun couldn't even pretend to be good, his hands were trembling, and he couldn't fold the letter paper well. The kindness I knew from the other side was gone.

"Let's go, don't come again."

Yan Cijing didn't answer, and stood in front of Fu Chun, smoothed out the letter papers one by one, refolded them and put them back in the envelope, carefully stuffed them back into his sleeves, and then he knelt down and saluted with Yu Fangzhi.

Fu Chun turned his back, took a deep breath, his eyes were scarlet, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe you don't know who the name is on the letter, if you persist in your obsession, you will be killed sooner or later!"

Yan Cijing said indifferently: "Luo Sheng intends to murder the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials have already passed through the gate of hell."

Fu Chun doesn't understand Yan Cijing, and he has no position to persuade Yan Cijing to turn around, but how does Yu know?He pointed at Yu Fangzhi: "Brother Yu hasn't been to Beijing for 13 years. He is afraid of the intrigues in Beijing. He looks forward to a smooth life. Aren't you worried that he will be involved too?!"

A trace of hesitation flashed in Yan Cijing's eyes, and then he was attracted by Yu Fangzhi's words.

Yu Fangzhi kowtowed: "I can't turn back anymore."

The mind is clear, and there is another soft word. The speaker called Uncle Fu, and said sincerely: "The younger generation is limited in ability, and there is always a risk of falling into the river when crossing the river by feeling for the stones. If I can get your advice, the younger generation may can go a long way.”

"Advice?" Fu Chun wiped his eyes, poured down a cup of tea, and said coldly: "I already know that your purpose in entering Beijing was not pure. You must have participated in the successive downfalls of Fan Qi and Zheng Lang. You clearly know everything." , What kind of advice do you come to hypocritically?

Yan Cijing couldn't listen anymore, bowed deeply to Fu Chun, pulled up the words to know, and said: "Master Fu is disturbed, let's go now."

Fu Chun sneered: "Let's go? I already know exactly what you are going to do. Do you think you can get out of Dali Temple smoothly?"

Yan Cijing was taken aback, and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but Yu Fangzhi insisted that he not kneel down.

Yu Fangzhi: "Uncle Fu..."

Fu Chun turned around, his face flushed red, he couldn't tell whether it was anger or anger, but his attitude was still cold and hard, he only heard him say:

"I want you to explain to me clearly what you are going to do next."

First Bi Zhixing, then Fu Chun, Yu and Yan were looking for foreign aid.
