Meiqiang miserably uses herself as a substitute

Then his eyes briefly scanned downstairs.After confirming that no one was there, Xie Yan closed the door and sat down at the table in the middle of the room.

Su Ci was grinding, "Master, there are many people in the inn, and we are foreigners, so we won't be able to keep an eye on them."

"Walls have ears. In places with many people, you should be more cautious." Xie Yan sat down on one side, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper, "Did you find anything?"

Su Ci waved his hands and lowered his voice: "No progress. I don't know who released the news that Anyu appeared in Lin'an. Now the whole world knows that everyone is crowding here, and those aristocratic families are the first to catch Mingshi People, there are only some useless ones left, which delay the master's work."

Xie Yan glanced at Su Ci with an unhappy face from the corner of his eye, and said, "If there is no progress, you are not doing well, so you will shirk your responsibility."

Without waiting for Su Ci to defend, Xie Yan pushed him a stack of paper, meaning that he will communicate with paper and pen next.

The top one was written by Xie Yanfang: When the first emperor ordered people to make the dark jade, he made a rule that if the tiger charm and the dark jade appeared together, the generals should obey the tiger charm, but if the tiger charm disappeared, the dark jade could also command the army.

Now that half of the Tiger Talisman is missing, it is impossible to verify the authenticity, and it is even more impossible to dispatch troops, so it exists in name only.

Anyu has been silent for many years, but the news of its reappearance became known to everyone within two days. The person who released the news was mostly someone in power in the palace.

Su Ci took the pen and wrote down a sentence: Prince or Prince.

Xie Yan looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Emperor Mingde fully learned the lessons of his predecessors, and did not set up a prince with a real surname, weakening the power of princes with different surnames.The intention is to warn those lords not to think about dissenting from Da Chu.

Xie Yan picked up the pen and crossed out the word "Wang Ye".

Su Ci stared at the remaining two words in a daze, and gestured to Xie Yan with his lips: Prince?

Xie Yan shook his head.

Su Ci was puzzled, Xie Yan continued to write: There is no need.There are plenty of ways for the princes to compete for reserves in the future, and it is too risky to talk about dark jade.

The dark jade was shaped like a tiger talisman, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that those who tried to get the dark jade had the intention of taking the throne.

Su Ci wrote again: Who does the master think?

Xie Yan's eyes wandered, and after a while, he picked up a pen and wrote down two words: Son of Heaven.

It is easier for the emperor to do this than anyone else, and he doesn't have too many worries.

Su Ci was astonished, unbelievable, and wrote quickly: The emperor was furious when the incident of Anyu came out, and he immediately offered a reward for the recovery of Anyu, and also issued a verbal order, saying that those who found Anyu would be promoted to rank.

This... If the emperor sent someone to spread the news, then why did he do this?

When he was writing, Xie Yan was patiently tearing up the paper just now and burning it on the flame of the lampstand.

After a long while, Su Ci's eyes widened, he came to his senses, and said, "The emperor wants to use this to clean up the disloyal people."

"Yes." Xie Yan nodded, and said softly, "It's easy to think of."

Then he took a new piece of paper and wrote: Dark jade seems like a military power, no matter how loyal a subject is, when he gets dark jade, how can he obediently offer it up?The emperor will not know how many people want to take the dark jade as their own.

Su Ci remained silent, watching him continue to write: Anyu is probably just a cover, the emperor wants to investigate those powerful but brainless people.

Su Ci now fully understood that the people the emperor used to lure out with dark jade were forces that could be easily bewitched in the future.

Dripping water forms a river, and gathering sand forms a tower.If these mindless people who are dragged away by profit are bought by someone with a heart, the power underneath will be strong, and the throne will be in jeopardy.

"Then... if that's the case, why does the master want to participate?"

Su Ci looked at Xie Yan with a strange face, "The people who came here today are all for Anyu."

Isn't this jumping into the fire pit by yourself?

"I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the mountains." Xie Yan saw that Su Ci was criticizing himself in his heart, and destroyed the last stack of papers without haste. Isn't it one step closer to the mission?"

Xie Yan got up to open the door, put on the bamboo hat, and said with a light smile, "Go downstairs, it's almost time, let's... go meet the person from the palace."

The author has something to say:

Not surprisingly, it should be updated at [-]:[-] p.m.——

2. Chapter 2

On the surface, Changsheng Inn is a wine shop, but in fact it is a place where news of Lin'an is concentrated. If you want to get news about Anyu, the first choice is here.

Xiao Er hastily poured tea for Xie Yan, and hurriedly greeted other guests.Xie Yan glanced around roughly from the corner of his eye, and when he saw the man at the opposite table, his eyes froze suddenly.

In a daze, the two looked at each other for two seconds.

Xie Yan was stunned, his Adam's apple moved slightly, then he looked away, and when he looked back again, the man was talking to the guard beside him.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, Xie Yan thought in his heart that he was wearing a bamboo hat, the man must have no idea that he was looking at him.

For a moment, Xie Yan's eyes were dark, and he secretly glanced at the man again, with a faint smile on his face.

His heart skipped a beat, and he picked up the tea and took a sip.

Sure enough.

"Our place can be targeted. If you want me to say, it's a sign that the world is not peaceful." These are two men dressed as butchers, perhaps aiming at the bounty, trying their luck in Lai'an.

The prefect of Lin'an they talked about was also the person Xiao Lan was ordered to look for during this trip.

"Dark Jade appeared here, and Fan Lao Zhizhou didn't have an accident sooner or later, but he was hacked at this juncture, what a coincidence!"

Hearing this, Xie Yan's subordinates froze, frowning, and there was something unfinished in his eyes.

It is indeed a coincidence.

This is afraid that someone is fueling the flames.

The dark jade was originally a cover used by Emperor Mingde to eliminate disloyal people, and when the time comes to send people to suppress it, it will not cause too much trouble.

But that person wanted to strike Lin'an Zhizhou at this time, as if to announce to the world that Fan Lao Zhizhou was plotted against because of Anyu, and Anyu was indeed in Lin'an.

Directly made this matter a big deal.

Xie Yan continued to listen to the two people chatting: "Fan Lao Zhizhou was chopped off, so who are we waiting here?"

"His son, Fan Xiaozhi Zhou."

"Fan Ming? That coward, he dares to come?"

"He didn't dare. But the dark jade is as heavy as a tiger talisman. His father was cut off and hanged his last breath at home. At this time, even if a leg was cut off, he still had to crawl into the Changsheng Restaurant shaking his body. In short, there must be someone in Lin'an to come out and give an explanation on this matter."

"Haha, explain? With his temperament of walking around everything, what explanation can he give? I'm afraid that if he sees our ax later, he will run back in fright hahaha..."

Su Ci said: "Master, is Fan Xiaozhizhou really as timid as they say?"

Xie Yan pondered for a moment, then quietly rubbed the cup of tea that was getting cold, "It's an exaggeration."

A family of officials and officials, even if they are really spoiled, should learn something, know when to be timid, and when to bite the bullet and rush.

Facing the table, the guard looked at the two butchers contemptuously, "Speak out loud, do you want to stop it?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyes, put his eyes on Xie Yanmo's hand rubbing the teacup, and smiled playfully, "It's quite interesting, isn't it?"

He's looking for someone who likes to do it while thinking too.

The guard didn't notice Xiao Zhan's strangeness, so he shut his mouth wisely and stood by.

After a while, tiny ripples appeared on the cup of tea, Xie Yan smiled and said, "Here we come."

The carriage stopped outside the inn, and Fan Ming was indeed helped out of the carriage.

Su Ci couldn't hold back, and let out a laugh.

Fan Ming and Fan Xiaozhizhou are a filial person, but Fan Laozhizhou was injured and bedridden, and I don't know how long he can last.

He cried all night in front of Fan Lao Zhizhou's bed, his eyes were swollen from crying, so he rushed back after he hadn't slept all night.

"Hey, Fan Xiaozhizhou is here!" The shopkeeper greeted with a smile, and ordered people to close the doors of the inn.

Fan Ming was supposed to be lured to meet someone sent by the palace.

But the news has not been handled in secret, and many people who are interested in Anyu want to find out.

Fan Ming lived under the protection of his father. When he saw the people in the inn all staring at him, he sat down with a fright and started to get confused: "Anyu...I, I don't know! The Fan family Generations of incorruptibility must be framed by someone with a heart behind it!"

Someone said: "Fan Lao Zhizhou supports the weak and is loved by the people. Who would want to frame him? First there was news of Anyu in Lin'an, and then Fan Lao Zhizhou was killed. He said he didn't know about it? You weigh it!"

Fan Ming was dumbfounded for a moment, and tremblingly said: "My father was murdered, who would not be heartbroken and wish to find out the assassin. Think about it, everyone, the dark jade involves the safety of the big Chu, how can there be room for a small Fan's house!"

"No matter how bad it is, you know that I, Fan Ming, am timid, how dare I hide it? If this is found out, it will destroy the Nine Clans!"

Xie Yan remained calm and watched the scene quietly.In the next second, I felt that someone around me seemed to be watching me.

The movements of his hands gradually stopped, Xie Yan looked sideways, and looked at Xiao Ran again, only to see that his attention was on Fan Ming.

He hesitated for a moment.

But is he overwhelmed?

"I don't listen to you talking here, so you just say where is the dark jade? When you get the reward points, how much will you achieve!"

One of them just now was impatient and didn't like to go around, so he directly picked up the big ax on the table, and with a "bang", it smashed into the table in front of Fan Ming with a crisp sound of breaking wind.

The crowd was amazed.

Xie Yan took a look, the butcher's dark face was slightly red, and then looked at the wine jars on his table - he was probably drunk and insane.

Fan Ming's voice was like a mosquito, "I...I really don't know."

"Ah! He's drunk and crazy, don't get close to him!" Another person who was with that person said.

Su Ci was dumbfounded, and released even if he was insane, what if Fan Ming was really hacked to death?

The ax was only one step away from Fan Ming, and the butcher didn't wait for him to reply for a long time, and shouted sharply: "Say it! Say it!!"

Xie Yan said in his heart, Fan Ming, hurry up and say something casually
