Chapter 5: Iron Pen and Silver Hook

When everyone walked into the mansion, they saw that Xu Chu and Xu Yaozong had been waiting for a long time, and there was a group of soldiers standing behind them, but Long Yanran and the others had long been gone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Yaozong." , "Brother Xian." "Brother Xu. ”… The younger generation greeted Xu Yaozong one after another, and then stood beside him.

Seeing this, the six women just watched coldly from an inconspicuous corner, as if they had no intention of making a move.

"Lin Shuai is really a big battle." Although Xu Chu's heart was as clear as a mirror, his words and words were not leaking.

"Old Xu, I'm afraid you don't know yet, something big happened in the palace last night..."Lin Yan deliberately stopped, stopping to stare at Xu Chu's face, wanting to find something from his expression.

"Oh? I wonder what happened? Xu Chu was startled at first, and then asked.

"Just last night, there was a bold assassin who actually disguised himself and used disguise to enter the palace to assassinate the empress." Lin Yan said slowly, he kept looking at Xu Chu's expression, but the latter's face was calm for a while, surprised for a while, frowned for a while, and then relieved, it was really rich.

"There is still such a bold thief, dare to ask Lin Shuai if he has caught the murderer?" Xu Chu had a concerned expression.

Lin Yan said in his heart, he acted a good show, but unfortunately no matter what today, you can't escape, although he thought so in his heart, he still said helplessly, "Alas, I sent someone to chase all the way, from the palace to the outside of the palace, and then lost his trace." ”

"Lin Shuai, in that case, do you want me to send someone from the military department to assist?" Xu Yaozong hurriedly spoke with concern, looking at this, there was no doubt at all, as long as Lin Yan nodded, he would immediately arrange manpower.

"Lin Shuai rest assured, the military department is extremely efficient." "Yes, since Brother Xu took office, it has been a complete makeover." "With the intervention of the Ministry of War, why worry about not being able to catch the thief. ”… Several of the squires opened their mouths to second.

"I appreciate the kindness of my nephew, but this, this..."

"Lin Shuai has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why bother to spit it out." Xu Chu sneered in his heart, how could he not know Lin Yan's calculations.

Lin Yan was waiting for his words, and took over the conversation, "Originally, there was no trace, so I thought that I would post a post early tomorrow morning and post a notice throughout the city, but just now." Lin Yan's tone changed, "One of my subordinates told me that I found traces of the assassin near Xu Lao's residence. As he spoke, he looked up at Xu Chu.

"How can this be reasonable, could it be that Lin Shuai suspected that the old man was harboring assassins?" Xu Chu flicked his sleeves, and the anger in his tone was undoubtedly revealed.

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I doubt Xu Lao, it's just that since that assassin dares to enter the palace to assassinate, then Bao Buqi is a vicious person, and I am also concerned about Xu Lao's safety, if I really accidentally hide in a corner of your mansion, or in an empty room, then the consequences..."

I saw Xu Chu standing in place, frowning, and pursing his lower lip from time to time, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, "Lin Shuai knows that it is a great crime to lead troops to break into my mansion without going through the courtesy?" ”

Looking at the old man in front of him, he was biting the words, and the tone of the person who was also the same, if it weren't for the fact that he would be left behind, this person who pretended to be Lin Yan would have wanted to rise up and slap Xu Chu to death with one palm.

Rao is heart was full of anger, Lin Yan still said patiently, "Xu Lao Haihan, Haihan, Lin is very heartfelt, he really has no time to take care of others, so he forgot the rules and led people to break into Xu Lao's mansion." ”

The scene was a little embarrassing and cold, and then a burst of laughter rang out, "Hahahaha, I was just joking with Lin Shuai, you can see his seriousness, and he took it seriously." Xu Chu looked at the group of young talents, but his hand was pointing at Lin Yan, smiling happily.

"Hehehehe." Lin Yan smiled embarrassedly, he really wanted to kill this Xu Chu alive, a lot of old immortals are still jumping so old and jumping, they are really not afraid of tossing and falling apart.

"Lin Shuai cares about the country, although I, Xu Mou, am just a literati, I will support it to the end, come, you all get out of the way, let Lin Shuai have a good search." Xu Chu said and waved his hand, letting the soldiers and family members behind him clear an aisle.

"Then Lin is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." Lin Yan clenched his fists and signaled, then faced the direction of the door, "Come on, search for me, search carefully." ”

For a moment, the soldiers brought by Lin Yan squeezed into the portal like a swarm, and then dispersed towards all corners.

Looking at the person who disappeared in front of him in a moment, Lin Yan felt in his heart, look at how arrogant you will be later.

"Lin Shuai, why don't we go in and have a cup of tea to warm up?" At this time, Xu Chu was like a kind old man, and he looked amiable and happy.

"No, I've long been used to coming here, and it's not good to be cold and hot." Lin Yan didn't want to get close to him.

"Then Xu is not reluctant." Xu Chu was talking here, and the people on the other side had already brought a small vermilion square wooden table, and when he saw the color, he knew that the material was excellent.

Sniff lightly with the tip of your nose, you can also smell a fragrance that seems to be absent, look at it, it is the tea fragrance left by washing the cup and warming the cup, and then, a strong tea fragrance comes to the nose, refreshing people's spleen, smelling it, it is really refreshing, and the fatigue is completely gone.

"Come on, come on, don't be restrained by your nephews." Xu Chu stretched out his hand and pointed, then took a cup with his right hand, and fiddled with the lid of the cup with his left hand, first sniffed it gently, and then took a sip, "What do you think of the virtuous nephews?" ”

"Good tea, the tea aroma is rich and not scattered, well, the entrance is a little bitter."

"Bitter in the throat with a little sweet, savor, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, comfortable, sweeping away the haze in the heart."

"Although I don't understand, but after drinking this tea, I feel completely depressed in my heart, happy."

"Hahahaha." Xu Chu smiled and said nothing.

"Brother Xu is really slamming the door."

"That is, if it weren't for Uncle Xu, I wouldn't have this kind of blessing."

"Brother Xu, it's not me talking about you, I'm really stingy, I, Li Xiuwen, sing poems and songs with you, sit and discuss, it's natural not to drink with them, but I don't even have a share."

"Hey, hey, Brother Li's words are wrong."

"It's just that we don't have to drink it, so why should we give it to you."

Seeing his friends making noise and joking, Xu Yaozong just smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Virtuous nephews, virtuous nephews, since you like it, don't forget to bring some back when you leave." Listening to everyone's boasting, Xu Chuxiao's wrinkles deepened.

And they seemed to be waiting for this sentence, and their luggage and mouths all said in unison, "Uncle Xie." ”

Their every move was watched by Lin Yan, but in his heart, he thought that literati and artists were so boring.

"Haven't you finished the search yet?"

"Search for what? Do you really think that Yaozong will keep this kind of villain by his side? ”

"Of course it's impossible."

As a few people were talking, more and more soldiers turned back, and several petty officers came to Lin Yan's side and whispered a few words, although everyone couldn't hear what was said, they could still guess a few points from Lin Yan's frowning expression.

"Xu Chu, I just found blood stains and used blood cloth tampons in your mansion, and you still pretend that it doesn't matter to you, Ben Shuai now suspects that you and the murderer who assassinated the empress are accomplices, come here, take it down for me." Lin Yan's attitude suddenly changed three hundred and sixty degrees, and his tone was completely like a different person.

Just when everyone was still surprised, a soldier had already stepped forward, "Presumptuous, the old man is the old man of the court, you have no evidence, why arrest me?" Xu Chu's momentum in a high position for many years was carried with him, and in a word, the soldier was stunned.

"Misleading the public, fornicating with thieves, assassinating the empress, and committing a crime, come on, give me a quick take." Lin Yan has the meaning of jumping over the wall in a hurry, and he buys and sells.

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and at this time, he was thrilled by Lin Yan's words, and hurriedly stepped forward to arrest Xu Chu, only the friction on his clothes, and when those young handsome people were still whispering about Lin Yan's abnormality today, "Oops." ”

The people present seemed to have been immobilized, motionless, Li Xiuwen bent over, reached out and picked up the folding fan on the ground, "snap", the fan surface slowly showed in front of everyone, "huhu", as if wiping a treasure, Liu Xiuwen blew lightly, and stroked it.

"What are you still doing in a daze, take it quickly." Lin Yan turned a deaf ear and scolded the soldiers.

"Hey, don't worry." Before the soldier's hand touched the corner of Xu Chu's clothes, Liu Xiuwen was already in front of him.

"Li Shilang, what are you doing here?" Lin Yan frowned, very unhappy with the people who got in the way.

"Lin Shuai, look, my fan is broken." No, I saw Li Xiuwen holding a fan in his right hand at this time, and a piece of broken jade was lying in the palm of his left hand, only the red silk thread floating at the handle of the fan was telling the pain in his heart.

"Li Shilang, don't hinder Ben Shuai's errand, wait for things, Ben Shuai will give you a piece of beautiful jade, and take Xu Chu first."

The soldiers behind Xu Chu were about to make a move, but the young talents of the three provinces and six departments were happy to watch the play, now that Li Xiuwen stood up, they knew that they didn't need to worry about it, "Lin Shuai is not in a hurry, and look at what this is?" ”

When everyone heard the prestige, Li Xiuwen showed the fan in front of everyone, only to see a fluttering and handsome word 'Cai' occupying half of the entire fan, and his gaze shifted, and next to it was a big seal.

"Your Majesty is ashamed of the first emperor, woo woo woo..." Li Xiuwen squatted down, hid his face and wept, like a little resentful woman.

"Hehehehe." The friends behind him were desperately covering their mouths, forcing themselves not to laugh, Li Xiuwen glared, which eased his embarrassing situation a little.

"Li Shilang, the matter has come to this, why should you bother?" Lin Yan was very unhappy in his heart, if it weren't for the guy in front of him who came out again and again to stir up the situation, I'm afraid he would have taken down Xu Chu a long time ago.

"Lin Shuai's words are wrong..."

"Li Xiuwen, if you hinder Ben Shuai again, I won't be blamed." Lin Yan's words were quite threatening, and his tone suddenly became bigger.

"Bring me pen and ink." Li Xiuwen was not annoyed by Lin Yan's interruption of his words, but turned his head and said this behind him.

Xu Chu stood not far from him, and beckoned a subordinate, "Go, bring the wolf hair and purple jade inkstone from my study." ”

Everyone present looked at Li Xiuwen, even Lin Yan stopped and watched, muttering in his heart, I want to see how big a wave you can make.

The subordinate was also quick, and after a while, he took the brush and inkstone and put them on the table, and Li Xiuwen rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the brush on the table.

"Come, I'll help Brother Li sharpen the inkstone." Xu Yaozong stepped forward as he spoke, stroked the cuff of his right hand with his left hand, and began to move.

And Li Xiuwen put the fan on the table, put the wordless side of the fan up, groaned slightly, and took the pen handed over by Xu Yaozong, "Tianyuan Nine Years, um..."

"Li Xiuwen." Lin Yan couldn't bear it, and he was going to abolish him today no matter what.

"Li Xiuwen." This voice was unexpected, and the tone even overshadowed Lin Yan, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.
