He Linwan said: "When I left Beijing, Miss Zhao gave me a seal, saying that it was a token of their Zhao family, and I took the token to go, presumably the Zhao family was willing to help." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wei nodded: "You go." ”

He Linwan didn't say any more nonsense, and told his mother-in-law to put on a carriage and go out.

After the carriage turned into the main street, He Linwan asked Chunxiao to instruct the mother-in-law who was driving the car: "Go to Crescent Lane." ”

Chunxiao didn't know where to go to find the Zhao family, she thought that some of the Zhao family's stewards lived in Crescent Lane, so she didn't ask much. In fact, although He Linwan has Zhao Qingqing's seal in his hand, he has never asked the Zhao family for help in the past few years since he came to Donglin, and even Zhao Yingchuan has not seen her for several years, and Zhao Yingchuan has not contacted her in recent years.

Crescent Moon Lane is an old street and alley in Penglai County, unlike the Xinglin Street that has been newly built in recent years, it looks a little dilapidated, not only the alley is narrow and there are some potholes on the ground, Chunxiang sits on the car and feels that it hurts to be dangling in the buttocks, so she can only hold the wall of the carriage.

"Who in the Zhao family lives in such a shabby place!" Haruka couldn't help muttering.

"Girl, you can't get in ahead. The coachman shouted outside.

He Linwan lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out: "Stop here." ”

When the coachman outside heard this, he stopped the carriage against the wall of the alley, so that the remaining space next to it could only accommodate two people rubbing shoulders side by side.

He Lin got out of the carriage and said to the coachman, "You go and find a place nearby to park the carriage, and come to pick us up in two quarters of an hour." ”

Chunxiao immediately grabbed more than a dozen coins from his purse and handed them to the coachman: "The girl rewarded you, go find a teahouse and sit for a while." The coachman took the money, thanked him, and drove away.

The old streets and alleys near here are somewhat like the layout of the Guangong Temple in the capital, He Linwan looked around and identified the direction clearly, and then walked towards a certain alley, Chunxiao hurriedly followed.

Without going far, He Linwan stopped in front of a courtyard that looked a little rested, and then glanced at Chunxiao.

Chunxiao was stunned for a moment before she understood what He Linwan meant, and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

He Linwan stood aside and looked at the surrounding environment, judging from the layout of the gate, the house in front of him should be much more spacious than the surrounding houses, and it was well rested. The surrounding residents are very quiet, although the house looks dilapidated, but every house has planted flowers and trees, and there is a bit of elegance hidden in the dilapidation, and I don't know which yard is now coming from the sound of children reciting the three-character scripture inarticulately.

Although Crescent Lane is an old alley, Penglai County Yahou Lane is facing this side, so the security here is very good, and most of the people living around are small officials and errand servants.

It didn't take long for footsteps to come from the courtyard: "Who's coming?"

Chunxiao looked at He Linwan and didn't know how to respond.

He Linwan didn't speak, and Chunxiao only continued to knock on the door.

With a "squeak", the courtyard door was opened from the inside, and a teenager who looked like he was in his teens and dressed as a small boy appeared at the door.

Chunxiao saw someone open the door, just raised a smile and wanted to speak, I didn't want the little guy to be stunned when he saw the two young girls standing at the door, and then as if he understood something, he showed a polite and false smile, but there was a little impatience hidden in his tone: "The two girls are here to find my family, right? I'm sorry, it's inconvenient for my family to meet guests, so please go back." ”

Chunxiao's kind smile froze instantly, he glanced back at He Linwan, and saw He Linwan standing there with his eyes down and didn't speak, Chunxiao Fuzhi turned his head back to the little guy with an even more false smile, and then grabbed the other party's collar when the other party wanted to speak again, dragged him out neatly, and then threw it aside very easily, and then turned to He Linwan and said respectfully: "Girl, please!"

When He Linwan stepped into the courtyard gate, Chunxiao rubbed his wrists, and muttered while following: "I haven't done this work of bullying men and women for several years, and my methods are a lot rusty." ”

The little guy was stunned after being thrown out by Chunxiao, and only when he saw that the two of them had already entered the courtyard gate did he react and chased after him.

"Ahh

As soon as He Linwan walked into the courtyard gate, he saw a man sitting in the courtyard.

The man had been sitting on a chaise longue under the grape trellis reading the scroll, when he heard the movement and looked up.

"Young master, they broke in......" The little guy ran in and said angrily.

The man said lightly: "Go boil water to make tea." ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and found that there was no displeasure on the face of the adult who had never liked to be disturbed, and he looked back at He Linwan and Chunxiao suspiciously, and Chunxiao returned her with a hypocritical smile. The little girl remembered the fierceness she had just thrown herself out, her face turned red, and she left silently.

The man raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, put the scroll in his hand on the stone table in front of him, and pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit." ”

He Linwan was not polite, she walked straight over and sat down, she glanced at the table that was full of various volumes, and saw that several volumes were records of the construction of water conservancy in various dynasties.

"Lord Xue is really busy. He Linwan smiled slightly, not knowing whether to praise or ridicule, "You said that you are so busy, isn't it good to do some practical things for the people? Why do you have to get involved in the power struggle of those ordinary people." ”

Xue Xingyi didn't answer He Linwan's words, but said, "I know your intentions, your father was not taken away by me." ”

He Linwan stared at Xue Xingyi and thought thoughtfully when he heard this, and then smiled: "It's not your words...... It's the new official who took office, Lord Chen, I guessed right?"

Xue Xingyi still didn't answer He Linwan's question, he stared at the file on the table for a while, and then suddenly asked a question that was not related: "Do you know the former dynasty Wen Engong?"

He Linwan raised his eyebrows: "Zhang Qiqian, who was jointly impeached by the powerful for implementing the new law, and was finally divided by five horses?"

Xue Xingyi bowed his head: "I have read his article, there are no major mistakes and omissions in the new law he implemented, if it is really implemented, it will not be too long before the people will be rich and the country will be strong, maybe the history will be rewritten in the future." It's just that it is unfortunate that his new law has harmed the interests of some people, and although the emperor at that time also had a supportive attitude towards his new law, the imperial power has long since fallen, how can Zhang Qiqian's floating power shake the towering trees that are intertwined? ”

He Linwan asked, "Are you trying to tell me that people who want to change the rules must first have the right to control the rules?"

Xue Xingyi looked at He Linwan and said lightly: "I want to tell you that no one in this world is exempt from vulgarity, and neither can I." ”

He Linwan smiled mockingly: "Have you ever thought that even if the emperor's power is concentrated, but he is different from you, what will happen to you when the time comes?"

Xue Xingyi didn't speak for a long time.

He Linwan didn't talk about this topic anymore, and she didn't come here today to talk to Xue Xingyi.

"Chen Yu's purpose in coming to Donglin this time is to gather the strength of the three battalions, so he plans to be the first to take my father?"

At this time, Xue Xingyi's servant came out with tea, Xue Xingyi raised his eyes and saw it, so he picked up his sleeves and moved all the documents piled on the table to the ground and piled them up, and vacated the table in three or two clicks.

Chunxiao watched from the side and couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, she didn't expect Lord Xue, who looked strict and cold, to be so informal in private, rolling up her sleeves and moving things didn't count, and she didn't care whether the ground was clean or not, she just threw those files at her feet and piled them up.

Xue Xingyi took the tea in the little servant's hand and put it on the table, scalded the cup, poured a cup for He Linwan, and said with a very calm face: "Please drink tea." ”

Chunxiao glanced at the teacup that was placed in front of her young lady, looked at the very shoddy teacup and opened her eyes, and came out of sight.

He Linwan glanced at the tea in front of him and didn't move.

Xue Xingyi thought she was disgusted, and explained indifferently: "The tea set was bought casually in a shop at the mouth of the alley, and the tea was brought from the capital, and it can be imported." ”

Seeing this, the little guy on the side couldn't help but blushed and reminded in a low voice: "Young master, the tea brought from the capital was drunk last month, this ...... I bought this at the shop at the entrance of the alley. ”

Xue Xingyi: "......"

Chunxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xue Xingyi took a sip of the teacup as usual, and said after a long time: "Let's put boiled water on it." ”

The little servant hurriedly packed up the tea on the table and ran away.

This episode did not affect Xue Xingyi at all, and he naturally picked up the topic that had been interrupted before: "Why did you guess Chen Yu." ”

He Linwan said: "The period of time after he came to Donglin was very low-key, which is not in line with the purpose of his coming here. What's more, how many people can be instructed to come to Penglai County to investigate a homicide case?"

Xue Xingyi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said lightly: "I can help you release Master He." ”

He Linwan looked at Xue Xingyi: "Oh, what do you want me to do?"

Xue Xingyi leaned back on the recliner, he looked at the grape trellis on his head for a moment, the sun shone through the branches into his dark eyes, he seemed to feel pain, and couldn't help but squint slightly.

Chunxiao was also so smoky by this warm spring light that she only dozed off, until she heard Xue Xingyi whisper in his unique calm and indifferent voice: "I want Chen Yu to die." ”

Chunxiao woke up, her eyes widened in shock, as if she didn't know Lord Xue, who looked gentle and elegant in front of her, and couldn't help but praise the humble gentleman when anyone saw it. She even looked around suspiciously, trying to find out if there was a fourth person present who could say what she had just said.

He Linwan was also a little surprised: "You have a holiday with Chen Yu?"

Xue Xingyi said: "This has nothing to do with you. ”

He Linwan thought about it and nodded: "Okay." ”

Xue Xingyi looked at the sky: "You go back first, Lord He will be able to come out in the afternoon." ”

Although He Linwan didn't trust Xue Xingyi, he believed in his ability, and got up without any delay when he heard the words: "Since it's a deal, then I don't need to thank you." ”

Xue Xingyi bowed: "Don't send it." ”
