When I got inside, I saw an old man in his fifties dressed in a blue sea-patterned civilian dress sitting behind a mahogany table, and when he saw them come in, he took off his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and raised his head, staring at the two of them hesitantly, "You ......"

"Why, you don't know us?" After Yinxiang came in, he unceremoniously hooked the chair and sat down, the eyelids of the people who were waiting next to him jumped for a while, they had never seen anyone talk to Lord Fu Yin like this, even if it was a senior official from the capital who spoke politely to Lord Fu Yin; It's like the one in front of him, as if he doesn't pay attention to Lord Fu Yin at all.

"Who are the two?" Fu Yin was made more and more unclear by his attitude, and someone from the capital ...... What the hell is it seems to be familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it.

Before figuring out the identities of the two, Fu Yin didn't dare to be contemptuous, and ordered someone to serve tea, while he got up and said politely in front of the two: "I don't know the names of the two high surnames? ”

"Chen Yuanjing, a thirty-first year jinshi of Kangxi, the seventeenth in the second class of high school, was released to Pingzhang County, and then Pingzhang County ordered him to retire, and you took his place; Committed to the development of farming, water diversion to farmland, to solve the problem of local irrigation, in Pingzhang County under your governance, the road is not left behind, life is rich, when the term expires and is transferred, the local people send each other, but also send the umbrella of the people. In the forty-third year of Kangxi, you were promoted to the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, and you have been until now. After saying this, Yin Zhen looked at Chen Yuanjing, who was suddenly discolored, and said, "What, Lord Chen, am I wrong?" ”

Chen Yuanjing was dumbfounded when he heard this, what is the origin of this person in front of him, he can actually say all his experiences after being admitted to the Jinshi without a word, and even the Wanmin umbrella knows that this umbrella is in the back hall at the moment.

The origin of these two people is by no means simple, thinking like this, Chen Yuanjing motioned to the waiting people to retreat, and after the doors of the four-edged carved room were closed, Fang Ning said: "Where did the two come from, why do you know this official so clearly?" ”

"Don't remember yet?" Yinxiang rubbed the teacup and said casually: "Let me ask you, in the forty-third year of Kangxi, did you go to the Ministry of Officials for evaluation before you were promoted to the prefect of Hangzhou?" Seeing Chen Yuanjing nodding, he continued: "Later, because of the excellent evaluation, the emperor specially sent you to the court, and also rewarded you with a yellow horse hexagram, right?" ”

It's still word for word, it seems that they should have been in the court at the time, but the two in front of them talk about age, even the older one looks at most about thirty, that is to say, they were only in their twenties when Kangxi was forty-three years old, which one of them could go to the court was not an important minister of the court, he didn't remember that there was such a young courtier.

Well, slowly, he remembered that there were all the elder brothers in addition to the courtiers at that time, and according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the elder brother was qualified to listen to political affairs, so to speak......

Chen Yuanjing's eyes widened, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the faces of these two people were familiar, especially the one with a cold expression, was it true? He stood there speechless for a long time, but apart from the identity of his brother, he couldn't think of anyone who could understand him so clearly, and even what happened in the court.

Chen Yuanjing pondered hard, and finally reluctantly matched the two faces in front of him with the two faces standing in the court five years ago, but because of the long time, he didn't know whether the Dao was right or wrong, and asked carefully: "Are the two of you the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother?" ”

Yinxiang threw the tea on the tea cup that was constantly rising with water vapor and said casually: "Finally, you are not old and dizzy." ”

Such words are an acknowledgment of each other's identities, Chen Yuanjing hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, "Xiaguan Chen Yuanjing greets the fourth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother greets each other, and the two elder brothers are auspicious." The lower officials didn't know that the arrival of the two elder brothers was far away, so he asked the two elder brothers to forgive their sins. ”

"Lord Chen, please get up." Yin Zhen helped him up and said: "Don't blame those who don't know, besides, this is not in the capital, just whatever." ”

Chen Yuanjing only responded, "I don't know if the two elder brothers are coming from afar, but what's the matter?" ”

Seeing that he finally got to the point, Yinzhen didn't talk nonsense, and took out a letter sealed with wax from his arms, "Huang Ama has a secret decree for me to hand it over to you." ”

Hearing the word secret order, Chen Yuanjing, who had just straightened up, hurriedly knelt down again, and only after kneeling three times and knocking nine times did he take the letter handed by Yinzhen with both hands. Originally, when receiving the holy decree, you should burn incense and clean your hands, but the secret decree can be executed expediently.

Looking down carefully, he saw a small imperial seal printed on the wax seal, he carefully opened it, took out the letter inside and read it carefully, his expression changed slightly, and after reading it all, he handed it to Yinzhen as it was, "The lower official will obey the emperor's holy decree and will do his best to help the fourth elder brother track down the whereabouts of this huge amount of money." ”

"Good." Yin Zhen nodded with satisfaction, "But until we find out at this moment, we must not reveal the identities of me and the Thirteenth Master for the time being, everything needs to be done in secret." ”

Chen Yuanjing just wanted to say that he understood, but he heard Yinzhen say again: "In addition, I have one more thing to explain to you, it may be a little disturbing to the people, but there is no other way." After saying that, he whispered a few words in Chen Yuanjing's ear, and Chen Yuanjing nodded again and again, "Xia Guan understands that although the fourth master can rest assured, as for the impact of disturbing the people, Xia Guan will try to minimize it." ”

"Then there's Lord Lao Chen." Before coming, Yinzhen had transferred the case file from the ministry, carefully checked Chen Yuanjing's details, and knew that he was a Qing official who did practical things, and he had been serving as a local official all these years, and he had no connection with Yinzhen and his gang, and he had a very good impression of Chen Yuanjing in the court back then.

Although he and Yinxiang are elder brothers and have noble status, they are not familiar with the place in Hangzhou, and there are no available soldiers, so they must find someone who can be trusted to cooperate with them. Chen Yuanjing is the best choice in terms of identity and personality.

"I wonder which inn the two elder brothers live in now? If there is any news, it is good to reply to the officials. "The people from the court are supposed to live in the post station, but when Yinzhen and the two come here, they must choose to go to the inn to rest.

"Yunlai Inn Dizi No. 8 and No. 9 rooms." Yinxiang said on the side, the Yunlai Inn here and Jiangning are generally divided into heaven, earth and people, and the price difference is several times, and the Tianzi room is an astonishing one or two gold a night, and the people who can afford to live are either giants and wealthy businessmen or dignitaries. In order to be too eye-catching, Yinzhen only chose a second-class land number room to settle in, and Rao also asked for ten taels of silver a night.

After a while, Yinzhen and the two came out of the Hangzhou Mansion, Chen Yuanjing was originally going to send it out in person, but Yinzhen did not agree, so he had to send it to Yingongmen. When he walked down the last step at the entrance of the mansion, a figure rushed out horizontally, and he couldn't help but collide with Yinzhen.

"I'm sorry." The figure pushed away Yinzhen's arms as quickly as possible, and it turned out to be a woman's voice.
