This tunnel is much longer than the one that entered the city, and after walking for a long time, Lin Xiangyu felt that his legs were sore, and it was still dark in front of him, and he could only see a small area illuminated by candlelight, and the entrance to the cave was far away, he dragged his steps and shouted to Jin Huang, who was striding in front of him: "Slow down, slow down, let's rest for a while." ”

Listening to his snoring and panting voice, it really didn't work, Jin Huang asked him to go back first, this trip was really farther, she handed the torch in her hand to Lin Xiangyu: "You go back, be careful not to knock." ”

"And what do you do?" When they came down, the two of them had only one torch with them.

Jin Huang smiled: "I'm not as useless as you." ”

Lin Xiangyu, who was inexplicably ridiculed by her, walked back with his mouth flattened, only to hear Jin Huang behind him say: "Tell the kitchen, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs." ”

***

Lin Xiangyu, who came out of the tunnel, didn't have time to dust off the dust on his body, he heard that the front yard was lively, wouldn't it be someone who came to sue, he hurriedly took a look at the front yard, and found that there were many onlookers at the gate of the county government on weekdays.

Several large carts stopped at the door, and many uniformly dressed servants respectfully asked into a small sedan chair, "Miss, where are you going?"

Lin Xiangyu asked a person watching the excitement, "Who is this?"

"This is our Linzhi County...... Hey, isn't that your cousin?" the man found out that it was the magistrate who was talking to him, and he thought that this magistrate was not in his head?

The sedan curtain was lifted, and Feng Ge walked out of the sedan chair, directing those people to send things to the backyard.

The servants carried things in, Lin Xiangyu looked at this spectacular gift-giving scene with a stiff expression, and hummed like a toothache: "Your Highness, you have to testify for me, this is not me who is corrupt and bends the law and accepts bribes." ”

Feng Ge pursed his lips and chuckled: "It's just you, the dignified prince gave you a bribe, can you still bend the law, what law can you bend? The county commander who can't even open the city gate?"

After saying this, he talked about the deepest and deepest pain in Lin Xiangyu's heart, and he continued to move things to the house with a bitter face, as if he heard someone in the crowd saying that he was selling his sister for glory, nepotism or something.

The servants of the Ritsu Mansion were well-trained, and although there were many people carrying things, there was only the sound of footsteps, and when they finished putting things down, they disappeared immediately.

Nothing has changed in the backyard except for a whole bunch of extra stuff.

After all, King Law is Feng Ge's own uncle, and it is nothing for his uncle to give his niece things, but Lin Xiangyu always feels that it is not a good thing to be so public.

He thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness......"

"Call me Ge Feng. ”

"...... "Feng Ge, Ge Feng, this pseudonym is too casual! Forget it, it doesn't matter." Lin Xiangyu decided to continue his admonition: "Miss Gefeng, isn't it good to collect things from the Royal Mansion with such fanfare?"

Feng Ge nodded: "It's really not good, you pay attention next time." ”

Lin Xiangyu blinked his eyes three times in a daze before he reacted, what was she saying: "Your Highness, isn't it not good for you to frame Weichen like this." ”

"Where are these things from the Law King's Mansion delivered?"

"The county government. ”

"So who is the magistrate?"

"Me. ”

Feng Ge nodded with satisfaction: "You are so smart!" said and was about to go back to the room.

Lin Xiangyu, who found out that he had been fooled, hurriedly rushed forward: "Hey, no. ”

Feng Ge turned around: "It turns out that you are not the magistrate?

“……”

Before Feng Ge appeared, Lin Xiangyu had a view of the women in the palace, no, it should be said that the world's impression of the women in the palace was noble, dignified, and elegant...... is what Feng Ge looks like on the outside.

However, I never expected that there are such people in the world who are different from the outside, with a weak willow appearance on the outside and a stinky shameless nature on the inside!

"Isn't Taixue teaching benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith?" Lin Xiangyu looked at the door in despair, and then looked at the neatly stacked cages next to him, and sighed heavily.

Feng Ge opened the door again and smiled at him: "The food box on the top is for you, eat it quickly, it won't be fragrant after a long time." ”

Then the door closed again.

There were more than a dozen small and delicate different pastries in the food box, and Lin Xiangyu took a piece of the most prosaic looking steamed bun, but it was fragrant and crispy in his mouth, which was completely different from the steamed buns he usually ate.

A black shadow ran out of the slanted thorn, and the tiger squatted on the ground wagging his tail, silently watching it.

Lin Xiangyu took a piece casually and put it in front of it, Huzi was unmoved, and his black eyes were still looking at him.

"Okay, okay, you pick it yourself. Lin Xiangyu put the food box on the ground.

Huzi pulled and pulled, Lin Xiangyu muttered: "The dog is a pickier eater than me." ”

A pengot of silver fell to the ground.

The shape is peculiar, like a bamboo joint, the color is good, and the people can never find a similar grade, only the official silver.

The so-called official silver, is the money and grain collected by all levels of the local government every year to exchange for silver, poured and made, each ingots are full of fifty taels, very huge, the official silver is snow-white, such as snow like jade, so it is also called "snowflake silver", the folk those broken silver corners of the snowflake silver, that is to say and play.

It will only be used when it involves major national affairs, such as building river embankments, such as building cities, such as recruiting troops, such as ...... Trade with foreign nations.

Daheng's market currency is based on copper, if you hold gold and silver, you can't buy anything, and you have to go to the money bank to exchange, and the exchange needs to register your identity, therefore, gold and silver are more doped with other metals, as hairpin jewelry.

Why did this piece of bamboo silver fall out of the food box sent by the palace of the king of law? Even if it is a reward for princes and county kings at all levels, it is often antique jade, even if it is gold and silver, it is also gold and silver utensils, and it will never be such a silver ingot, and the officials will not use such a thing as bamboo to make a mold for silver ingots.

Lin Xiangyu took the silver, thoughtfully, Feng Ge changed his clothes, and happened to see his back squatting on the ground, staring at Huzi with wide eyes, she smiled and said, "What, are you robbing food with dogs?"

"It's not, it's the silver that has been scorned. Lin Xiangyu stood up and handed the bamboo silver to Feng Ge, "I won't carry this pot for you, I can't carry it." This thing is definitely for you. ”

Feng Ge had heard a little about Guan Yin, this was the first time he had seen the real thing, and the piece of the heavy ingot in his hand was about twenty taels.

"What does it mean to put it here? If you want to show friendship with me, why don't you give it to me frankly?" Feng Ge was puzzled, still trying to hint at something.

The pastries in the food box were picked up by Huzi and fell to the ground, seeing that they couldn't be eaten, Feng Ge grabbed the silver hand in his sleeve and said to Lin Xiangyu: "Quickly bury these things." ”

"Why?"

"Guess what would happen to Jin Huang if she found out that there were so many delicate pastries and she didn't eat them?"

Lin Xiangyu's mind flashed Jin Huang's angry face, and he didn't dare to fake others, so he went to bury these pastries under the tree, and almost sang a song: "The cake is full of cakes, and the cake is full of cakes, and who will pity ...... the cake and the steamed bread."

There were traces of food on the ground that were wiped out, and Lin Xiangyu went into the kitchen again and asked the cook to make a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs at night.

The cook complained: "Uncle Lin, the money to buy vegetables is not enough, in the past, this money could buy vegetables for half a month, since these two girls came, it has only been four days, and it has bottomed out." ”

"Shhh, be quiet, just go find Master Qi's fulcrum in a while. ”

"I have looked for Master Qi, and Master Qi said that you have already spent this month's money, and there are still ten big dollars left, which is not enough for three meals. ”

The breeze blew through Lin Zhixian's two sleeves, and the flying sleeves were clean.

Lin Xiangyu stood in the courtyard and said loudly to Feng Ge's room: "I think that ingot of bamboo silver may be because God saw that I was serious and diligent in my work, so he borrowed the claws of the divine dog and gave it to me." ”

The door opened, Feng Ge changed his clothes and came out, looked at Lin Xiangyu, and said jokingly: "Meaning, I don't need to give you money? Every day, cats and dogs will send you silver, so good, the officials and households will be very happy." ”

"Don't don't, don't ......" Lin Xiangyu waved his hand again and again, "Tell me casually, give me this silver, I don't dare to use it, I heard that there is a Bao Gong judgment in a foreign country, and there are often some black pots and pillows, go to him to redress your grievances, you say, will this be a ghost attached to the silver......"

Feng Ge felt a chill behind him, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Why hasn't Jin Huang come back yet, did you do something indescribable to her, and then kill people and throw her body?"

"She, me!" Lin Xiangyu, who was framed again, pointed at himself and opened his mouth.

The western horizon sucked up the last afterglow of the setting sun, and the crescent moon hung high in the eastern sky, like a hook, Feng Ge looked at the golden hook, and inexplicably had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The cook's loud voice that seemed to tear through time and space roared: "It's time to eat!"

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, and the table is full of them, which looks very rich.

Vinegared cabbage, boiled eggplant, steamed pumpkin, sweet and sour pork ribs, of which there are only two sweet and sour pork ribs.

The soup is cabbage bongzi, eggplant stalks, pumpkin vines boiled into a pot, and there is a bone in the crystal clear soup, which is really just a bone, smooth, as if an edict to the world: "If you can pick up another shredded meat, count me as losing!"

Feng Ge sat down, just picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, and shook his head: "No, Jin Huang never misses dinner, she must have had an accident." ”

"I'll look for it after eating. Lin Xiangyu pushed the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of Feng Ge.

Feng Ge stood up: "You eat first, I'm not hungry." ”

When he walked out of the door, there was already a man standing at the door, with a straight body, an indifferent face like a jade carving, holding a thick cloak in his left hand and a torch that had been lit in his right hand.

Guan Linsen handed over the thick cloak: "I'll accompany His Highness with you." ”

Feng Ge took the torch: "Your injury is not healed yet, you should rest more." ”

"Your Highness," Guan Linsen suddenly knelt down on one knee, "The minister knows that the protection of His Highness is not effective along the way, and it has put His Highness in danger several times, His Highness wants to punish him, and the minister has no complaints, but I beg His Highness not to take risks easily, and wait for the secret guards sent by Jingzhong to replace him, and then ......"

Feng Ge was taken aback by his sudden move: "Hurry up, I never said I was going to replace you." ”

"The duty of the minister is to protect His Highness, please allow the minister to perform his duties. ”

The jade carving-like face, there was no emotional fluctuation, the eyelids were lowered, half of the black eyes were hidden, the night was as cold as water, the wind blew in gusts, and even Feng Ge felt a little chilly.

"Get up and speak first, your wounds are not healed, and you will fall to the root of your illness on your knees. Feng Ge bit his lip, "Lin Xiangyu will go with me, you don't have to worry." ”

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little, with this weak scholar, it was really not convincing at all.

Sure enough, Guan Linsen raised his head: "If His Royal Highness insists on not allowing the minister to go, the minister will only die in accordance with the regulations on the work of the secret guard." ”

As he spoke, a dagger shining with cold light shook out of his sleeve, and he was about to wipe it off his neck, so frightened that Feng Ge shouted: "Wait, wait, it's lonely." ”

Guan Linsen got up and followed behind Feng Ge, Feng Ge frowned: "There is still this article in the regulations for the work of the secret guards? Why am I not impressed...... I'll go back and rummage through it in a moment. ”

The tunnel is narrow and long, Lin Xiangyu and Guan Linsen each hold a pine torch, and protect Feng Ge in the middle. After walking for a long time, the surrounding environment still did not change at all, Feng Ge gradually felt that his legs were very heavy, and he stepped forward mechanically.

The thick layer of soil isolates all the sound and light in the world, and in the dark space, only the sound of footsteps sounds softly, and the two warm yellow fires become different colors in this endless darkness.

Feng Ge had never stayed in such a depressing place, and suddenly remembered that the palace punished some little palace maids and little eunuchs who had done wrong things in a small black room, she always felt that this punishment was too light and too light, just didn't have to work, where was the punishment, it was simply a holiday.

Now she doesn't think so, it's so uncomfortable.

Lin Xiangyu, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke, and his low and soft voice sounded in the tunnel, which lifted Feng Ge's spirits: "There is still a long way to go, it's too boring, let's tell a story by ourselves." ”

On the long boring road, someone can say a story to relieve boredom, and Feng Ge is of course very much in favor of it.

Lin Xiangyu began to tell the first story.

"It was a long, long time ago, there was once a big family, the head of the family already had a beautiful and noble lady, and gave birth to a lovely little boy, but, no matter how affectionate, finally could not beat time, the head of the family married a concubine, this concubine in addition to beauty, more charming and enchanting, since she also gave birth to a boy, she wanted to change from a concubine to a wife. ”

In order to achieve this purpose, she deliberately left a man's shoe print in front of Madame's bedroom, so that the head of the house would be suspicious of Madame, and then, Madame showed signs of pregnancy, and at this time, a servant of the family suddenly disappeared, and after looking for a long time, she did not find it. ”

Then, there was a long silence, and Feng Ge couldn't help but ask:

"And then?"
