Notes on Evil Fox

In the imperial palace garden.Although it is late spring, there is no sign of defeat in late spring.Hundreds of flowers are still competing for splendor, the shadows of the flowers are slanting, the fragrance is lingering, and it is thriving.

The pavilion near the pool, called Ji An Pavilion, was said to have been designed by a folk craftsman whom the emperor met when he was young in battle.The pavilion is not as magnificent as other buildings in the palace.But it is very natural and comfortable, with a sense of security in the four seasons of a small farmyard.

The pavilion is only supported by six pine logs, and the pillars are not painted, which is the original vicissitudes of the pine bark.The very common blue tiles are used on the top, and many tiles have grown between the tiles.Blooming bright yunluo climbs up the pine pillars, and purple flower spikes hang on the blue and old tile eaves, which is a kind of chic and vicissitudes of stability.

Emperor Xia Tuozhao sat at the stone table in the pavilion with a note, smiled happily, and handed the note back to Liang Xiaoxian, with an unpredictable expression: "When I saw his article, I said that this It is not easy to be a man. There is a man who is talented and general, but he also knows how to be cautious, but he is too ambitious. That article fully demonstrated his talent in governing the world. The most rare thing is that the whole article is full of concern for the country and the people. The heart of power and profit, but there is a hunter waiting for the opportunity behind him. It is not simple, it is not simple."

Liang Xiaoxian said worriedly: "Yeah, it's just, alas..."

"I'm afraid you're the only one in this court who worries so much but not for personal gain." Xia Tuozhao smiled at Liang Xiaoxian, sighed, and said, "I know those 'filial' sons of mine who form cliques Why didn't they win you over when they were staring at my throne like a jackal? Because they know how the king of the mountain can keep company with dogs. You have been too open and above board all your life."

"Your Majesty, all princes are of your blood, but they are still young..." Liang Xiaoxian comforted.

"It's better not to be born." Interrupting Liang Xiaoxian's words, there was a trace of sadness on his always majestic face. At that moment, he didn't look like a mighty emperor, but an old man who had gone through hardships.

"Your Majesty..." Liang Xiaoxian worried.

"Nothing." Xia Tuozhao also restrained his expression for a moment, and said, "I heard that you are checking the left side, how is the progress?"

"Not optimistic." Liang Xiaoxian sighed and said seriously.

"Is there really something wrong? I thought that although the left minister is confused, he is not too stupid. It seems that I have been too loose in the management of the government these years." Xia Tuo smiled bitterly, and asked, "Then Rong Shiyin may Make a sharp blade?"

"Chen, I don't want him to get involved." Liang Xiaoxian hesitated.

"Oh? You didn't mean to let him stir up the situation, why don't you let him participate now?" Xia Tuozhao asked with interest.

"He is a piece of jade. Such a character should not be just a pawn."

"Have you read "Discrimination of Traitors"?" The emperor leaned back.

"I heard it."

"Rong Shiyin is not Wang Yan and Lu Qi's two sons. They are nothing to worry about. In the name of being unrivaled in the world, it is the great trouble of the world." Xia Tuochao grabbed a flower Yunluo crushed it and threw it into the pool, then said slowly, "The sharper the weapon, the more dangerous it is."

"Your Majesty, he has not shown his appearance as a good minister now. But everything has just begun, so how can we know what will happen in the future. The purpose of this minister to tell him about Lu Kun, the left minister, is to let him see Lu Kun's disaster for himself. The people also harm themselves. If he can take this opportunity to sharpen his obsession and get a good minister in the future, it will be a great fortune." Liang Xiaoxian said solemnly.

"If he acts out of line in the future, I will never let him go easily." Xia Tuozhao watched Liang Xiaoxian solemnly intercede for Rong Shiyin, and also knew that this veteran who was born and died with him was dedicated to great prosperity all his life. , only said, "The matter of Rong Shiyin will be left to you for the time being."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Xiao got up first to thank you.

"It's just you and me, why do you need those empty courtesy." Xia Tuochao waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him, and said, "There is also the matter of Lu Kun, you, just let go and do it. This court should also change A change of blood."

"Yes." Liang Xiaoxian looked at the old urchin-like emperor in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.Everyone knows that the emperor Xia Tuo Dynasty has been in power for 32 years. He is iron-blooded, ruthless, and decisive in killing.But he forgot that this mythical emperor was just a body of flesh and blood.

……

The next day, as soon as Rong Shiyin came out after changing his court clothes, he saw a person sitting at the table.Although the visitor covered his face with half of the mask, it is not difficult to see how that face charms all living beings, but what he said was very unpleasant: "Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that dirty dog ​​back then Little Rong Rong, with this dress up, she looks a bit like a dog."

Rong Shiyin ignored his words of beating, and said, "I want those people on the list I gave you yesterday."

"Xiao Rongrong, you are too greedy. Those ten or so are felons of the imperial court. How do I get them out?" The visitor gave Rong Shiyin a dissatisfied look.

"In the imperial court, of course I have me. You just need to change their identities and resettle their exiled family members." Rong Shiyin looked at the man squarely and said with a smile, "I don't believe that the Dali Temple Prison , can stop the well-known 'Silver Star Langjun' Feng Xunhen in the Jianghu."

"That's true," Feng Xunhen enjoyed the flattery of the other party, and said again, "However, Xiao Rongrong, after you saved me back then, I promised you three things. The first is to build your own Intelligence force, now the Xingyue Pavilion completely belongs to you. The second thing is to arrange for these criminals. This is the last thing left, do you remember?"

"Yeah." Rong Shiyin replied flatly.

"That's good, the last thing, you can think about it before you come to me." Feng Xunhen sighed, "I seem to have smelled the smell of freedom."

With that said, the person disappeared.

After breakfast, Rong Shiyin went out on his own, ignoring Hu Zhong's nagging.

Thinking about it in his heart, what he said yesterday was straightforward enough, Lu Fanan, the noble son who has been surrounded by stars since he was a child, probably gave up his mind.That's fine, save yourself the trouble of dealing with him.

"Hu Zhong, can you be quiet? How can a boy be so eloquent and lose his manners?" Rong Shiyin frowned and said to Hu Zhong who was chattering behind him.

Let's talk about Hu Zhong, when he first met Rong Shiyin yesterday, he was indeed a bit apprehensive.But since we met a few more times in the evening, I suddenly found that this lord seems to be a bit more talkative than he showed.

He was originally a lively person, and he grew up in the military camp, so he was used to talking poorly.Sometimes it is unavoidable to talk too much quickly.Seeing that Rong Shi was not happy at this moment, he stuck out his tongue and shut his mouth wisely.

As soon as Rong Shiyin came out of the gate, he saw Lu Fanan wearing a rouge-colored brocade dress, leaning on the stone lion in front of the gate, holding a temporary willow flute and playing it intermittently in boredom.

Seeing Rong Shiyin coming out, he greeted him with a happy smile and said, "Good morning, Mr. Rong."

Looking at the person in front of him, Rong Shiyin smiled with crooked eyebrows and an amicable smile, and his skin was as white as jade in a rouge red dress.Rong Shiyin always likes dark clothes, not publicity.But looking at the man in red in front of him, it was very harmonious.Really gorgeous but not vulgar.

Rong Shiyin thought to himself, but indeed he has a good appearance.

"So handsome." Hu Zhong said, looking at Lu Fan'an firmly.

"This little brother has good eyesight, and I am quite satisfied with this appearance." Lu Fanan smiled immodestly.

"Hu Zhong, what kind of vision do you have?" Rong Shiyin remained expressionless, looked Lu Fanan up and down again, and said, "It's like a peacock with its tail open."

After finishing speaking, he ignored them and turned to get on the carriage.

Lu Fanan hurriedly followed, dissatisfied: "What kind of eyes do you have, my face, the girl in the city doesn't like it. The people who want to marry me are lined up from the north to the south of the city. I'm tired of being picky. You can't tell the difference."

"Didn't I persuade Mr. Lu not to waste time? Is this still not giving up?" Rong Shiyin didn't want to argue with him, so he continued yesterday's topic.

"Master, I don't know what giving up is." Lu Fanan raised an eyebrow at Rong Shiyin with a smile, and there seemed to be a bit of provocation in his eyes.

Rong Shiyin glanced at him, ready to close his eyes and rest.Only to hear the other party say again: "Why is your carriage so shabby, it hurts my buttocks."

Seeing that Rong Shiyin ignored him, Lu Fanan turned around and squatted down to stack the cushions together.The carriage suddenly bumped, and Lu Fanan's center of gravity was unstable, and he sat down on Rong Shiyin's lap.

Out of inertia, Rong Shiyin hugged him subconsciously like last time.

After the carriage stopped, Lu Fanan hurriedly moved away from Rong Shiyin's arms in a panic, and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry."

Rong Shiyin saw that Ruyu's face was stained with a layer of blush, and suddenly he felt teasing, and said: "Young Master Lu is so eager to throw himself into his arms over and over again, is it really right?" I have other thoughts? But I don’t like Long Yang’s wind.”

Lu Fanan's eyes widened in surprise, and he said speechlessly, "Although I think you are a beauty. But can you stop being so shameless?"

"If Mr. Lu is a girl, looking at this face, it's hard to refuse me, but unfortunately..." Rong Shiyin shook his head regretfully, then looked at the hand that was around Lu Fanan's waist just now, like Reminiscing, "But Mr. Lu's waist is actually softer than the girl's."

Lu Fanan didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, the tips of his ears turned red.But when he saw the ambiguous smile on Rong Shiyin's mouth, he suddenly realized that he was trying to tease him.

Rong Shiyin broke into a see-through smile, and said, "Mr. Lu, who picks girls from the north to the south of the city, is so innocent. Or is it just lip service?"

Lu Fanan was so teased that he didn't want to talk to him.

At this time, Hu Zhong, who had come back after investigating the situation, said outside the carriage: "My lord, there is an old woman in front of me who heard that my lord went to Dali Temple today to review the case of amnesty. Please check again."

"Tell her to get out of the way and continue on the road." Rongshi said without emotion.

"Yes, but the old lady's description is pitiful. Her legs can't walk, and she's old and sick. She probably won't have much time..." Hu Zhong hesitated to answer outside the car.

"Didn't you hear what I said, deal with it and continue on your way." Rong Shiyin interrupted Hu Zhong coldly.

"Yes."

"Wait a minute," Lu Fanan called to Hu Zhong, untied a white purse from his waist, lifted the curtain of the car, handed it to Hu Zhong, and said, "Send her to the medical clinic and tell her, Lord Rong The case will be strictly examined in accordance with the laws of Dachang, so she should not worry about it anymore."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Hu Zhong said happily.

"Why did you lie to her?" Rong Shiyin broke the silence.

"She won't live long, at least she can leave without any worries. And it can also make a good name for you, so why not do it." Lu Fanan smiled faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I don't see her?"

"Adults naturally have adult thoughts." Lu Fanan lay on the window of the carriage, not knowing whether it was because of the matter of Rong Shiyin teasing him before, or the matter of the old woman on the street, and replied a little sullenly, "Probably It’s because it’s not profitable.”

"So, if you follow me, you won't be able to achieve your goal." Rong Shiyin said indifferently, "Because there is nothing to gain from you."

"I know." Lu Fanan said, but did not explain what he knew.

……

After arriving at Dali Temple, Xiao Feng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Rong Shiyin explained a few words about the relevant positions of Dali Temple and Rong Shiyin's transfer of personnel, and after leading him to the file room, he said his farewell.

It is not easy to reorganize the dossiers of the past ten years.However, Dali Temple only gave Rong Shiyin a master bookkeeper and a few other recorders on the grounds of insufficient manpower.

Because Rong Shiyin had inquired about the Dali Temple earlier, he had already expected it in his heart.Just looking at the huge case file room, I feel a little more grateful for Lu Fanan's stalking.Even looking at Lu Fanan was much more pleasing to the eye.

Lu Fanan's emotions came and went quickly, and at this time he looked lively again, rolled his eyes and said: "It's really wicked, the ten-year file is just these few people, tsk tsk tsk. Your Excellency, take care. "

While talking, he moved towards the door, turned around and was about to leave.

Rong Shiyin shook his head helplessly, but as soon as he reached out, he grabbed Lu Fanan's collar.Lu Fanan was unwilling to give in, but he couldn't fight Rong Shiyin's strength.He had no choice but to be grabbed by the back of the collar, shouting all the way and being pinned down on the seat.
