Situ Yuan kept this matter very secretive.

He went to the court and the yamen every day as usual, and when he came home at night, he locked himself in the study and listed the injustices that Yan Shichong had done. Even though the door was locked, his writing hand still shaking.

He has been following Yan Shichong for nearly ten years.

In the past ten years, he has personally participated in many operations, and has witnessed and heard countless incidents related to Yan Shichong.

Ten years is not a short process, and some things have become blurred in the long river of time, so he has to recall and record them one by one.

When Situ Yuan wrote it, it was like writing a memoir, and at the same time, he also realized that Yan Shichong had treated him well over the years.

After all, Situ Yuan is a person who knows how to be grateful, so he couldn't help but put down his pen halfway through writing.

He was still struggling a little in his heart.

After all, betrayal is quite shameful, and Yan Shichong has always trusted him so much.

However, another voice was convincing him.

As the saying goes, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and now he knows that there will be no good results with Yan Shichong, so why should he care about the past?

He knew very well that if he didn't have the courage to take this step, then he would never want to start a new life.

Thinking of this, he strengthened his mind and picked up the pen again.

He estimated that if he had written for two hours every night, it would have taken eight or nine days to explain the events of the past ten years.

Just as he was doing this secretly, Yan Shichong convened everyone to discuss it in private again.

Yan Shichong's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he said solemnly: "The recent situation is relatively delicate. Everyone's mouth can be dense. ”

"Yes."

"Now, our interests are tightly intertwined, and no one is allowed to act without my instructions, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." Yan Shichong said word by word.

The tone was chilling.

Everyone promised that they would never betray him.

Yan Shichong's face finally eased a little, and said with a smile: "At this time, we can only face the difficulties, as long as we can survive this difficulty, we will not worry about glory and wealth and high-ranking officials in the future." ”

The crowd didn't dare to say anything but nod.

When the meeting was dismissed, Situ Yuan did not stay for tea as usual, but left early on the grounds of ill health.

"Lord Situ used to go out with us to drink tea and chat after he left the government. Now as soon as he got off the office, he hurried home. Don't you think it's weird? Gu Yungang asked.

The eight people here, you look at me, I look at you, and you don't dare to talk easily.

After a while, Feng Yunteng said, "Maybe it's a concubine." ”

"There's nothing I can't know, if I have it." Dali Temple Qing Shi Wanfang said.

Shi Wanfang and Situ Yuan are neighbors. Both families are often moving around on weekdays. In addition, his wife and Situ Yuan's wife are aunts and nephews. Naturally, I won't know the situation of Situ Yuan's family.

"You go to his house and have a look, and report to me immediately if you find anything." Yan Shichong said to Shi Wanfang.

"Yes."

That night, Shi Wanfang went to Situ Yuan's house to see Situ Yuan.

Situ Yuan, who was writing in the study, hurriedly locked the paper in a drawer when he learned about it.

"Brother Yuan. How do you lock the door when you read a book? Shi Wanfang sat down opposite Situ Yuan and asked with a smile.

"Madame is used to being with me when I read, but I haven't been in good spirits lately, and I always want to be alone, so I locked the door." Situ Yuan replied while pouring him tea.

Due to some panic in his heart, his hand pouring tea trembled a little.

This detail of him was seen by Shi Wanfang.

Shi Wanfang remained silent.

After taking a few sips of tea, Shi Wanfang asked, "Is it because of the recent situation?" ”

"I don't know, but I don't know why I've been panicking lately." Situ Yuan replied.

An answer that does not reveal a flaw.

Shi Wanfang smiled slightly.

"It's useless to panic, it's better to take one step at a time." Shi Wanfang said.

"You're really not panicking at all?" Situ Yuan asked.

"Of course, I was panicked, but there was no turning back at this time."

Situ Yuan thought about it and didn't answer his words.

Shi Wanfang stood up and walked to his desk, and when he saw that there were pens and ink on the desk, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He just said that he was reading a book, but judging from this and ink, it shouldn't be, Shi Wanfang said secretly.

However, Shi Wanfang didn't say anything, and quickly turned around and sat down on the chair.

Situ Yuan's heart was very panicked.

In order to hide the panic in his heart, he kept drinking tea.

Shi Wanyi smiled and said, "Don't disturb your rest, see you tomorrow." ”

Situ Yuan hurriedly sent him out.

When Shi Wanfang was sent away, Situ Yuan asked his wife to make her a bowl of soothing soup.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Situ Yuan's wife looked at his pale face and asked with concern.

He would never have looked like this in the past.

Situ Yuan shook his head, turned around and entered the study.

This time, though, he didn't continue to write, but lay straight down on the bed/.

He wanted to take his breath, but he was so nervous that he still felt a little breathless.

He was asleep when his wife came in with the soothing soup, but even when she did, she still had an uneasy look on her face.

His wife couldn't help but feel a squeeze.

Thinking that the soothing soup had to be drunk hot, she gently pushed him awake.

"Madam, I may be busy lately, so I will worry you more about family affairs."

"It's nothing."

"By the way, whoever comes to our house lately, don't tell them anything about me."

"Okay."

Situ Yuan drank the tranquilizing soup and continued to lie down.

However, he did not fall asleep for a long time.

His heart was like meat roasted on a fire, and he could hear it faintly.

The next day, Shi Wanfang went to see Yan Shichong.

"Didn't notice anything unusual about him." Shi Wanfang said.

"That's for the best." Yan Shichong said.

Shi Wanyi retreated.

After Shi Wanfang left, Yan Shichong made an appointment to meet Gu Yungang.

"Help me track down Situ Yuan." Yan Shichong said to Gu Yungang.

"You're worried he'll betray you?" Gu Yungang asked.

"From what I've seen of him, he's been a bit unusual lately, and I have to guard against it." Yan Shichong said.

"He's not like someone who would do that." Gu Yungang said.

Yan Shichong sneered twice, and said leisurely: "Not necessarily, the most uncertain thing in this world is the human heart." ”

"Understood, I'll keep an eye on him below."

"Well, you have to let me know as soon as there is any movement on his side."

"Yes."

When Gu Yungang left, Yan Shichong instructed the other two subordinates: "Help me keep an eye on Situ Yuan and Gu Yungang." ”

The two men hurried to take orders. (To be continued.) )

PS: The first shift is coming, and the second shift is about 5 o'clock.
