Aoyama Chronicle

Two days after Zhong Yiwen and the others arrived, Meizi finally rushed to Tangchi Courtyard in a hurry.

When Zhong Yiwen and the others saw Meizi, they were all taken aback.He has never talked much, but he is very reliable, and like most of his brothers, he likes clean and tidy plums, but his body is dirty, and his hair is a mess and has not been properly taken care of.Although it was hard to see whether she was injured on the outside, Meizi's exhaustion and fatigue were very obvious.

"Grandpa, I've done it!"

When Zhong Yiwen heard that Meizi was still thinking about reporting things to him at this time, his mood was really complicated and he didn't know what to say.In the end, Qin Fei and a middle-aged rough envoy who was in charge of cleaning could only help to take Meizi down to wash up first, then go to eat something, take a good rest, and then report the details.

But Meizi didn't go down to rest directly, after washing and eating, she came directly to Zhong Yiwen.Zhong Yiwen saw that Meizi's face was serious, as if there was something important to do, so he simply took him to the study to talk about it.

"Master, we were all deceived!" Mei Zi started very directly, "That brother named Bi You is actually Princess Bi You of An Le Wang's family, and he didn't run away with some scholar to see the world or something. Instead, elope!"

Zhong Yiwen nodded, he had already asked Steward Chen to inquire about this matter, and he could guess a lot about it, and there was a lot of rumors about this matter in the capital, and now he heard Mei Zi confirm it, and he was not too surprised.

Seeing Zhong Yiwen's appearance, Meizi also knew that they should know about this matter. How could Zhong Yiwen not be aware of it because he was so smart.But Meizi has something even more exciting to tell Zhong Yiwen: "Master, in fact, things are far more complicated than we imagined. It is true that Princess Biyou eloped with a scholar, but that scholar is not a real scholar, but It came from the Nanman area in the south of Jingzhou. His real purpose of seducing Princess Biyou is to steal a register, which contains the list and evidence supporting the establishment of the Nanman area in Jingzhou."

"Really?" Zhong Yiwen was surprised, a little bit unbelievable that the matter would be so big.No wonder I heard that King Anle and His Majesty were very angry with Princess Biyou. If they just kidnapped Princess Biyou, King Anle might be angry, but His Majesty might not be so angry.This is simply a felony of treason!

Meizi nodded: "It's absolutely true. It took nearly ten years for the prefect of Jingzhou and many officials from the prefecture to make this roster. For this reason, the prefect of Jingzhou who escorted the roster to Beijing has died. Later, The chivalrous men in the Jingzhou area took the initiative to help send the roster to the capital. The Holy Majesty entrusted the matter to King Anle, but unexpectedly, the thieves attracted by Princess Biyou stole the roster. After that, Princess Biyou and the scholar Leaving the capital, I have been pursued all the time. However, Princess Biyou should have discovered something was wrong and stole the roster back, so she was forced to jump into the river by the scholars and their accomplices, and was rescued by us again return!"

Zhong Yiwen really wanted to grab Li Zhang and come over and ask, you don't pick anyone who is law-abiding, what kind of character is this!

The Nanman area to the south of Jingzhou is actually quite extensive, partly connected to Yangzhou and Youzhou, but the area to the south of Jingzhou is the most extensive.As early as a hundred years ago, this place was also within the scope of Yan State, and it was called Jiaozhou.However, in a battle for the throne in Yan State a hundred years ago, the prince who lost the battle fled all the way to Jiaozhou and took root there, which also made Jiaozhou break away from the rule of Yan State, making Yan State truly only Kyushu.Several generations of emperors of the Yan Kingdom had the idea of ​​taking back Jiaozhou, but they were never able to do so.But not being able to take it back does not mean that it can allow it to make any big moves. People in Jingzhou who support the Nanman nation-building are simply seeking their own death. Once they are found out, it will definitely be a crime against the Jiuzu.

"Then what's the situation now?" It stands to reason that Meizi has already sent Princess Biyou back, and the next development of this matter should not be that King Anle went to arrest people with the roster and the Holy Majesty's decree, but Zhong Yiwen always felt that it would not be that simple.

Meizi is very calm: "The current situation is that the roster is lost! Princess Biyou doesn't know where the roster is lost? We met people from Nanman on the road, and all of them were not bad at skills. Come to help, I guess it will be very difficult for me to escape. Jingzhou knights escorted us to separate from Master Li. We lost two people on this way, and we could only return to the capital after many lives and deaths. When they knew that the roster was lost, they eyes It's all red!"

"Hey!" Zhong Yiwen also sighed, no wonder Meizi would look like this when she came back.Zhong Yiwen blamed himself a little, if he hadn't asked Meizi to help, Meizi would not have encountered such a thing of being chased and fled.

However, Zhong Yiwen suddenly had a little doubt about where the roster was left, and immediately called Aqi outside loudly: "Aqi, Aqi, come in quickly, where did you put the books we brought from Qingzhou?" ?”

Ah Qili was not far from the door, and when he heard the voice, he immediately entered the study: "Master, do you want to read those books? Wait, I'll move them all for you!"

These books were all placed on Aqi and Amo's carriage before, but after changing the carriage, Aqi and Amo took all the trouble to move all the books to their carriage.Zhong Yiwen thought about the clothes they changed in Aqi, Amo and the others' car after they rescued Princess Biyou. Could it be possible that this roster was mixed up with these books.

While waiting for Aqi to come back, Meizi looked at Zhong Yiwen with a rare uneasiness: "Master, there is one more thing I want to ask for your help."

As soon as Zhong Yiwen heard Meizi open his mouth, he knew that it would definitely be a big trouble, but Zhong Yiwen still felt guilty towards Meizi now, and felt that it was rare for Meizi to ask him for help. !"

"Actually, those Jingzhou knights who rescued us, not to mention two of them, and several others were seriously injured. Now they can only rest in the ruined temple in the suburbs, and return to Jingzhou after they recover from their injuries. I am I want to ask, can you let them come home to recuperate?"

It really is a big trouble!Zhong Yiwen was a little helpless, these Jingzhou knights were obviously incompatible with those Nanman people, although the action of these Jingzhou knights was moving, but it is also a headache to prevent the Nanman people from retaliation at any time!They are all good people, okay?

However, Zhong Yiwen suddenly thought of someone: "Is there someone named Qin Jiu among these Jingzhou knights?"

Meizi's eyes widened in surprise, "Master, do you know Master Qin Jiu? He is the boss of this group of Jingzhou knights!"

really!

Just say that they met Qin Jiu that day, how could Qin Jiu let them go so easily?Originally, they all thought that Qin Jiu was the villain that Princess Biyou called, but they didn't expect him to be a hero.Fortunately, Qin Jiu was generous and did not argue with them.But now knowing that it was Qin Jiu and the others, Zhong Yiwen had no choice but to help.

Zhong Yiwen thought about it, and he definitely couldn't arrange them in the small courtyard of Tangchi, otherwise, if someone found their traces, it would be their family who were unlucky.Fortunately, the two-entry mansion in the capital city had already been cleaned up by Steward Chen in advance, so it was possible to live there.And it's in the city of Kyoto. I believe that no matter how arrogant those southern barbarians are, it's impossible for them to commit crimes in the city of Kyoto, right?It would be safe for Qin Jiu and the others to live there.

"Meizi, I agree! You will go there with Dafang in a while, take Qin Jiu and the others into the city quietly, and live in our house in the city. Dafang knows where the place is. Later, I will ask Butler Chen to arrange someone who is tight-lipped." Go and take care of them." After Zhong Yiwen made up his mind, he left and made arrangements carefully, and then reminded Meizi, "Be careful when you go out, and rest at home for a while when you come back."

Meizi complied without waiting, and went directly to Dafang for help.

Zhong Yiwen also knew that it was too late, so he called Steward Chen and told him about arranging people to go to the house in the city, and then took some broken silver plus 100 taels of silver bills to Steward Chen, and asked him to send someone to bring it to Qin Jiu.Steward Chen was very knowledgeable, so he didn't ask too many questions, and immediately went to follow Zhong Yiwen's instructions.

After Steward Chen left the study room, Ah Qi and Ah Mo entered the study room with books as tall as half a person.

"Master, are all the books you were looking for here?" Ah Qi said while wiping his sweat.Ah Mo and his situation are similar, it can be seen that it took a lot of effort.

Zhong Yiwen picked up a book and flipped through it: "Are you sure it's all here?"

"Of course!" Ah Qi nodded, "It's not bad at all!"

Ah Mo also followed with a "hmm".

"Okay! You two go down and get busy, I will read the book by myself!"

Although Ah Qi and Ah Mo were surprised, how could the master want to read so many books all at once.However, both of them only know a few dozen characters, and they only learned after following Zhong Yiwen recently, so of course they don't have any opinions.

Zhong Yiwen waited for the two of them to leave the study room, and immediately started looking for books frantically.Zhong Yiwen didn't let go of the few books he had already read, and he went through them carefully from beginning to end. When he saw unfamiliar new books, he was even more careful, and he almost took them apart to read one by one. See if there is anything unusual.

However, soon, Zhong Yiwen really discovered an unusual book.The book was very smooth in the hand, as if it was covered with a layer of skin. Zhong Yiwen opened it and immediately discovered the problem. This is the simplest "Thousand Characters" for enlightenment.But their family doesn't have such a book at all, he himself doesn't need it; Xiao Chen doesn't need it.

Zhong Yiwen checked the thickness of the paper and stroked it. It should be interlayered. It is estimated that the real roster is inside the interlayer.

The question now is, what is he going to do with this roster?Thinking of this question, Zhong Yiwen wanted to shoot Li Zhang to death!
