The night was already dark, and the governor's apartment located in the west of Jingzhou Mansion was very quiet, the small study in the back hall was lit up, and the doors and windows were closed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ye Bozhen took out a snow-white handkerchief from his sleeve, pressed it lightly on his forehead, slowly folded it back into his sleeve, looked up and said to Qiu Yinming: "Lord Qiu, forgive the contemptible people for speaking out. Although the owner of my family violated the ancestral system, for many years, he did not rely on his power to oppress the people, nor did he personally intervene with officials to get involved in government affairs. These can be testified by the ministers of the palace and all the adults in Jingzhou. Since the beginning of his debut, the owner has used aliases precisely because he obeys the law and strictly abides by the ancestral teachings. Seeing that Qiu Yinming was silent, he said: "Since the adults don't want to judge the contemptible people publicly, they must be ......" Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by Qiu Yinming: "Manager Ye, although your owner can barely be regarded as clean, the relationship between him and the Qingliu Society is not so easy to get rid of." I haven't tried you publicly, so I don't necessarily mean taboo your identity as the owner. Ye Bozhen saw that he said it categorically, and he didn't dare to make a mistake. Qiu Yinming continued: "I heard that you are very familiar with cause and effect, but you can tell me, after Qingliu will attach itself to Chunlin Villa, what is the relationship between the owner of the village? ”

Ye Bozhen hesitated for a moment and said, "This, Qingliu will bribe the government in a big way, and it is definitely not the intention of the owner. The owner of the village couldn't help it. It's just that Zhang Tianyi was down-and-out at the beginning, and the owner took him in. No one could have expected today's situation. Qiu Yinming said: "Since you understand it very well, then I don't need to say much." Now I give you this opportunity to explain with me where Zhang Tianyi is hiding, and explain to me all the inside stories of the Qingliu Society that you know. I will not make it difficult for you. Regarding your owner's business," Qiu Yinming smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want to cause trouble out of thin air. However, at this point, I can't hide my eyes. Please stay here for a few days, and write down your transactions in Chunlin Villa and the Junwang Mansion in detail in the past few years, and I will send you back. Seeing Ye Bozhen's face full of difficulty, he continued, "Otherwise, I can hand you over to Beizhen Fu Si Tiqi, you weigh it." ”

It was night, Qiu Yinming and Ye Bozhen talked secretly until late at night. Sure enough, Zhang Tianyi is now hiding in the mansion of Li Ju, the commander of the capital. This time, the owner of Zhu Zhuang urgently sent Ye Bozhen and Long Shao out of the mountain to do business, just to go to Jingzhou to meet Zhang Tianyi. The last time Zhang Tianyi sent a letter to threaten him, Zhu Zhengyu was on pins and needles, and in a hurry, he wanted Ye Bozhen to come forward and reveal his true identity to Zhang Tianyi and Pan, in exchange for his trust in the villa, and to deal with the governor with hope. Qiu Yinming guessed that now that Ye Bozhen had fallen into his hands, Zhang Tianyi would soon know that according to his connections in Jingzhou officialdom, he would definitely take action. Fortunately, Ye Bozhen had already learned the location of their connection with the Qingliu Society, and if he sent someone to track it down, he would probably be able to find the hiding place of the rest of the party soon.

Qiu Yinming summoned Cao Xin and Chen Baisheng early the next morning, and together with the two of them, they led Cao Xin's four Jinyi Guard captains to visit the place Ye Bozhen said on the same day, secretly stalking, and arresting Liu Lihao and Sun Yuan in due course. Qiao San stayed in the governor's apartment to take care of Ye Bozhen.

It was July 11, and he was going to leave for Yuezhou Mansion in two days. In the afternoon, Qiu Yinming was reading the latest Di Bao. Since he left Wuchang Mansion in the middle of last month, he had no time to take care of all the affairs of the DPRK and China, and only when he came back a few days ago did he learn from Cao Xin that just a few days after he went to Chunlin Villa, Luo Fangyu, the envoy of the inspectorate, had been summoned back to Beijing for investigation by a letter of impeachment by several supervisors and imperial historians a month ago, and I am afraid that he will inevitably be imprisoned. And the note of this impeachment has now been reported in detail. It turned out that the main author of the imperial history was the Jiang Meichen of Jingzhou Mansion now, and I saw that during his tenure, Luo Fangyu was closed to the public, arbitrary, suppressed colleagues, and interfered in matters outside his office for no reason, so that he obstructed the decree many times. Sprinkled, sharp, talented, highlighting its wind and shadow, referring to the deer as a horse means of literary thinking. Qiu Yinming recalled the brief meeting with Luo Fangyu, and sighed in his heart. At this time, Steward Chai brought medicinal soup, gauze and other things to the study. A few days ago, I came back from Guizhou, and I was injured both inside and outside. The sword wound was very deep, although the healing was slow, fortunately it did not hurt the vital point, and the most uncomfortable thing was Di Taifeng's hammer, which had blood stasis in the body, and could only rely on the decoction to slowly disperse.

Chai Ban helped him change the medicine and said, "My lord, don't toss anymore these days." Qiu Yinming agreed and said, "It's okay." Tomorrow I will go to Yuezhou, just to go to the banquet, I will not do anything, just to recuperate. Thinking of it again, Qi Mutian said that he wanted to visit, so he said: "Mr. Qi is coming in a while, you go to the back door to greet you." Chai Ban said: "My lord, it's not that I'm talkative, after all, this is not a home in the capital, there are many people, and people in the rivers and lakes are interacting, so it's better to hide it in the future." Qiu Yinming nodded, didn't say anything, and thought in his heart, Hengyu should have returned, I don't know how she coped with Chunlin Villa that night.

After Steward Chai went, he didn't stay for long, Qi Mutian came as promised, and unexpectedly, Hengyu also came.

Qi Mutian sent some good medicine to treat the injury, and the three of them sat down and talked for a while. It turned out that Hengyu returned to Chunlin Villa that night, and Long Shao blindly put pressure on him, but the owner of Zhu Zhuang really avoided a head-on conflict with the government, although he didn't look good, he didn't want to make trouble with the Xihai Alliance. So, the old sect master said that this matter was written off for the time being, but in the future, Chunlin Villa will no longer compromise.

Qi Mutian said: "Then Chief Manager Ye is still with you?" Qiu Yinming said: "I asked him to record all the things he did in the Yiling County Mansion and Chunlin Villa." Qi Mutian frowned and said, "Do you really want to tell the court about this?" Otherwise, why leave evidence? "It's hard to say." Qiu Yinming couldn't make up his mind, so he just said, "Just in case, leave a credential, even if I don't report this matter, let them have some scruples." Who knows what that Tianyi will do. Now that he is being hunted down, he must not really use this matter to blackmail Chunlin Villa. I don't plan to put Mr. Ye back right away. ”

Qi Mutian pondered for a while and said, "I have something very strange here. According to Manager Ye, Zhang Tianyi is now hiding in the Command Mansion. But Du Yu and Shi Lei, who were sent a few days ago, came back and said that they had found Zhang Tianyi and killed him. He also said that due to the forced situation, he did not bring back the head, but only brought back Zhang Tianyi's side-worn blade. This...... If Du Yu has ulterior motives, but Shi Lei is an honest man, he won't ......" said and looked at Hengyu.

Hengyu also shook his head and said, "It's hard to say anything now." Although the fifth senior brother obeyed the third senior brother's words, this was a betrayal of the alliance leader after all, unless the third senior brother had already had this intention. But he and Zhang Tianyi have never had any dealings, probably not. Why don't I go to the Commander's Mansion and have a look? "Don't." Qiu Yinming said, "I guess, if Zhang Tianyi is really alive, he will definitely change places." Besides, Long Shao should have informed him that Mr. Ye was captured. Besides, they are all heavily guarded by troops in the command, so don't go. By the way, the people of Chunlin Villa really didn't embarrass you? "Qiu Yinming always remembered Long Shao's ruthless look when the old sect master and Hengyu were still talking." No. Seeing him ask again and again, Hengyu smiled heartily. Qi Mutian suddenly said: "While Manager Ye is still with you, Chengxian, can you let me see him?" Qiu Yinming immediately agreed, and asked Steward Chai to lead Qi Mutian to see Ye Bozhen.

After a while, Chai Ban came back and said, "Mr. Qi said that he and Manager Ye chatted for a while. Chao Hengyu also looked at it and said carefully, "Please take care of the eldest lady." After speaking, he looked at Qiu Yinming again.

She's happy here, of course, but she's unprepared at the moment. Qiu Yinming had no choice but to smile and asked, "Yuhuan, there is really nothing to entertain you here, and I don't know if you like to eat sweet or salty?" Hengyu also caught a glimpse of Steward Chai with a curious and embarrassed look, but he was a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Sweet." Chai Ban immediately patted his head and said, "Yes, yes." I'll go get ready right away. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "My lord, do you want it?" Qiu Yinming shook his head and said, "I just took medicine, forget it." ”

Heng Yu also saw that his desk was very messy, several letters were piled up in a corner, and there was a half-read long scroll in his hand, and asked, "You are going to Yuezhou tomorrow, but there are still many official matters to deal with?" Qiu Yinming said: "Fortunately, I went out a few days ago, and I accumulated some ordinary letters, all of which were sent by the deputy envoy of Wuchang Mansion. "What's that?" Hengyu also pointed to the long scroll and asked. Qiu Yinming tidied up the table a little, and smiled at her: "Do you want to see it?" What's new? Hengyu also got up, moved the chair to the desk, sat down opposite him, picked up the newspaper, and said, "Don't laugh at me, I don't look at this thing on weekdays, it's so long." Is there anything special? "Every ten times this newspaper comes out, there are at most three or five interesting things in it. However, this time, there is a recital of the impeachment of the imperial history and the envoy, which is extremely well written, but most of it is deliberate slander. Qiu Yinming said, "The main writer of the imperial history is the Jiang imperial history that you and Mr. Qi saw last time when you and Mr. Qi went to the Tonghua Pavilion Yaji." Hengyu also nodded and said, "Oh, it's that person." Qiu Yinming told her some old things about Luo Fangyu and his teacher Geng Jiuchou.

After a while, I saw the butler Chai coming in from outside the door with a tray, and raised his eyes to see that the young lady was sitting very casually opposite the adult's desk, knowing that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, she must be the young lady who used to communicate frequently with the adult, so she became more polite, stepped forward and put the snacks and tea on the desk, and said: "There is nothing special to entertain distinguished guests, just a few home-cooked snacks, please forgive me, please use some at will." With that, he respectfully withdrew.

Hengyu also looked at it, and in front of him was a bowl of osmanthus mash soup, with some small balls in it, and after eating a bite, it was made of taro. The soup is sweet and sour, and the aroma is tangy. I picked up a piece of top crust from the plate and tasted half of it, it turned out to be filled with almond cheese, which melted in my mouth and tasted very good, so I ate the other half as well. Only then did I see that Qiu Yinming was staring at her intently. Hurriedly raised his hand to cover the corners of his mouth, pushed the plate towards him, and smiled: "Let's eat together." Qiu Yinming doesn't like sweets on weekdays, and he wondered why Steward Chai got these fine points so quickly, and at this time he was happy to see her eating happily, so he didn't shirk it, picked a piece of diamond flour cake filled with bean paste and melon seeds, and said: "I don't eat sweets, you can eat more if you like." I'll just look at it. ”

Hengyu also lowered his head and smiled: "What's so beautiful." You still have so many letters to reply, why don't I read my newspaper, and it is important for you to reply to your letters. Then he unfolded the long scroll in his hand and read it word by word. When she finished eating the snacks, the newspaper was still only half of it, it was a little boring, yawned, put down the scroll, and raised her eyes to see Qiu Yinming bowing her head and writing seriously. Seeing that the ink in the inkstone was about to dry, he helped him add some water, picked up the ink and grinded it slowly.

Qiu Yinming raised his head and saw that her eyes were like water, smiling softly, and his heart was in a trance, and he secretly said: If she is like this every day, what more can the husband ask for. If you want to say it, you can think about it, she has been negative to her a few days ago, although she regrets it, but she doesn't know how to solve the marriage, and now she still can't even promise half a sentence. Sighing secretly in his heart, he didn't say anything, only smiled back at her, and continued to bury his head in writing. The breeze outside the window is frequently caressed, the autumn mood is getting thicker, and the sound of grinding ink is faint in my ears, I just hope that this moment can last longer.

Qi Mutian went for about an hour, and after returning to the study, the three of them continued to chat about tea kung fu. All kinds of news make people feel that Du Yu is quite suspicious. But after all, he is not an ordinary person, even if he arouses suspicion, it is not easy to speculate. According to Qi Mutian's statement, he could only secretly pay attention to precautions. Hengyu is also familiar with his brother's temperament, and the hidden worries in his heart are becoming more and more obvious. Qiu Yinming also said that since Cao Xin and Chen Baisheng had gone to find out the remnants of the Liuhui Party, they should be able to find out the exact news of Zhang Tianyi's life and death. Qi Mutian set a date for the next meeting, just after he returned from Yuezhou.
