Yin Zheng walked alone into a teahouse in the east of the city, the teahouse has two floors, the lower floor is the lobby, and occasionally the storyteller will add fuel to the story of some recent events in Beijing. The second floor is composed of independent tea rooms, so it is not as noisy as the lobby, it is relatively quiet, and each tea room is elegantly furnished.

Yin was pushing open the door of a tea room, and a young man was already sitting inside. When the man saw Yin Zheng coming, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "Teacher, you're here!"

"Waited, huh? I'm sorry, something happened temporarily, so there was a bit of a delay. ”

The man said respectfully, "Not long after, the students have just arrived. Teacher, you take a sip of hot tea first. ”

Yin Zheng took the teacup, took a big sip, and put the teacup down again. He is a rough man, and he naturally doesn't know how to taste tea, and he has no interest in the night, and the reason why he came to the teahouse today is also entrusted by Mu Qing, and he has another purpose.

Yin Zheng was not in a hurry to get into the topic, but first greeted him painlessly, "Yue Xuan, have you been okay in the military department in the past few years?" ”

This man who was called Yue Xuan by Yin Zheng is the current squire of the military department. At that time, Yue Xuan was in the army in the south, and he was an unknown soldier under Yin Zheng's command, Yin Zheng saw that he was talented and courageous, so he made an exception to use it by his side. Yue Xuan really did not disappoint Yin Zheng, not only fought bravely on the battlefield, but also came up with some strange tricks to defeat the enemy before and after the war, so he was promoted again and again within a few years and became the right-hand man by Yin Zheng's side. However, later Yin Zheng was transferred back to Beijing to become the commander of the forbidden army, and Yue Xuan also retreated from the front line and embarked on a career and became a squire in the military department.

Yue Xuan grinned and said, "It's all right for a student." Although the military department is busy and things are complicated, the students can still cope with it. ”

Yin Zheng nodded in agreement, "Well, you were born with a smart head, and this little thing will not be difficult for you." ”

Yue Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said modestly, "The teacher has won the award." Teacher, you are in charge of 50,000 forbidden troops, and you have the heavy responsibility of guarding the imperial city, which shows the emperor's trust in you! And I heard that your daughter is now the emperor's favorite concubine, and the students will not have time to congratulate the teacher!"

Yin Zheng smiled silently, did not answer, and drank a few sips of tea.

Yue Xuan saw that Yin Zheng was slow to speak, and guessed that the other party had something unspeakable. He is also a straightforward character, so he opened his mouth bluntly first. "The teacher suddenly asked the students to meet today, but what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, but I wanted to ask you for a small favor." Yin Zheng slowly raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said nonchalantly.

Yue Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. He had followed Yin Zheng's side for many years, and knew that Yin Zheng was upright, but now although the two are officials in the same dynasty, they rarely communicate in private, and they have not seen each other a few times in the past few years, on the one hand, to avoid falling behind, on the other hand, he also knows that it is because Yin Zheng does not like to form gangs. This time, Yin Zheng suddenly asked himself to get together in the teahouse, and there must be something important that he needed to help with. Yue Xuan is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and it is rare for the teacher to open his mouth, so he will naturally not shirk it, and said with a smile: "The teacher said that it doesn't matter, as long as the student can help, the student will definitely do his best." ”

"The Ministry of War is in charge of the forging and transportation of all my weapons, and you are a squire of the Ministry of War, so you must be very familiar with all kinds of blades, such as a few treasures, right?" Yin Zheng smiled deeply, and as he spoke, he took out a dagger from his waist and put it on the table. "I've recently gotten around with a treasure, which is particularly rare, so I'd like to bring it to you to see what kind of blade it is."

Yue Xuan curiously picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully, and after a while, his body suddenly trembled invisibly, and then the corners of his mouth forcibly pulled out a trace of arc, and said, "Oh, it's just an ordinary dagger." ”

The trivial changes on Yue Xuan's face were all seen by Yin Zheng, and he didn't break it, but repeatedly confirmed: "Really? Take a closer look!"

Yue Xuan hurriedly put down the dagger in his hand and asked with a pale face, "Where did the teacher get this dagger?" ”

"You don't care where it came from, you just need to tell me if this dagger has some unknown clues?" Yin Zheng raised his eyebrows coldly, his eyes burst with a sense of inquiry, and Yue Xuan's heart was furious.

Yue Xuan pondered for a while, as if thinking about how to deal with Yin Zheng's question, and only after a while, he replied in a low voice: "This dagger does not have the official seal of the imperial court and engraved on it, and it is obviously not cast by the military department. If the teacher obtains the dagger from some unknown place, the student advises you to dispose of the dagger as much as possible to avoid getting into trouble.

Yin Zhengfu picked up the dagger again and looked up and down several times, with a proud chill in his eyes. "It's true that there is no official seal, but are all the blades without the official seal forged by the people privately? Your military department has never produced a sword blade like this that is not branded with the official seal?

Yin Zheng's deliberate words made Yue Xuan even more nervous, and he couldn't help but shout weakly: "What does the teacher mean by this? The Ministry of War has always been strict in the control of weapons, as long as it is a weapon that goes out of the Ministry of War, each handle will be branded with an official seal on the handle!"

Seeing that the other party was so excited, Yin Zheng suddenly smiled and changed the topic: "Yue Xuan, do you know about the recent private weapons in the Rui Wangfu?" ”

"The student has heard about it, why did the teacher suddenly mention it?" Yue Xuan bowed his head and replied, a dense layer of sweat on his forehead.

Yin Zheng's slightly cold gaze swept over the other party's face a few times, and then said lightly: "This dagger is a dagger that I secretly took out from the five boxes of weapons I found in the Ruiwang Mansion. ”

"Teacher, you..."Yue Xuan hurriedly stood up, "This case is being tried by the Criminal Department, and what does it have to do with our Military Department?" I'm afraid the teacher is looking for the wrong person! ”

"I didn't say that this case is related to your military department, don't be so excited, sit down first!" Yin Zheng raised his hand to signal Yue Xuan to be calm for a while, and poured another cup of hot tea and handed it to the other party.

Yue Xuan drank tea, stabilized his mind a little, and said, "What is the teacher here for today?" ”

"Yue Xuan, you and I have fought on the battlefield, we are both people who rolled in a pool of blood, and we have fought for so many years, do you really think I can't see it? You may be okay to lie to others, but I'm afraid it's not that easy to fool me! Yin Zheng said coldly, a breath of wind and thunder condensed in his ink-colored pupils, and he threw the dagger in his hand to the ground as he spoke, "I can tell at a glance whether these blades were cast by the Ministry of War, and there is no need for any bullshit official seal!" ”

Yin Zheng took a deep breath and got up slowly, his face slightly tired. He looked out the window at the bustling streets, and said calmly, "You asked me why I came to you today?" I sue you for the truth, for justice, for the world! ”
