Chapter 2: Visitors from Beijing
Lin Anyi leaned back in the chair, put his hands on the table, and knocked on the table for a while.
The staff on the opposite side anxiously picked up the teacup and put it down, but Lin Anyi didn't speak for a long time.
"My lord, this Zhenyuan general was assassinated and died in the Qinglou, although the saint said that it was a strict investigation, but there is always someone to take over this position!" The staff put down the teacup, and a crisp sound recalled Lin Anyi's thoughts.
Lin Anyi stood up slowly, and before he could speak, there was a hurried sound of slamming the door at the door.
"My lord, there are two girls outside the door asking to see me, holding this in their hands." As he spoke, the porter presented a light blue jade plaque with both hands.
Lin Anyi, who originally had a plain face, suddenly became a lot more serious after seeing the jade card, and even the air pressure in the room was a little lower.
The things that the staff had wanted to ask were swallowed back.
"Go back, I'll think about it." Lin Anyi hurriedly waved his hand to signal the staff to go down, and hurriedly went out.
Bai Yan solved Huang Hu in Yihong Courtyard the day before yesterday, although it was a little dangerous, but fortunately, there was a night meeting arrangement, and it was considered to be dangerous.
At this moment, he was covered with white tulle, standing at the door of the Lin Mansion with a straight back and a white dress, staring at the closed door with a deep gaze.
Seeing that he wanted to speak at night, he wanted to persuade Bai Yan to leave but didn't dare, so he could only carefully observe whether there were any suspicious characters around.
Bang, the door was opened, and the people inside couldn't wait to open the door before they rushed out, and walked in front of Bai Yan with respectful steps, and they were about to bow their hands.
"There are a lot of people, let's go in!" Bai Yan opened his mouth coldly, and a pair of cold eyes shot out a light, and Lin Anyi was a little flustered.
Yes, there were a lot of people just now, and it was inappropriate for him to salute a little girl with a Shangshu, but fortunately, Bai Yan stopped it in time.
Lin Anyi's palm turned up, making a gesture of please, and the porter was a little surprised, the adults in their family rarely see guests, why are they so attentive to a little girl today?
Bai Yan was taken straight by Lin Anyi to the study instead of the living room, looking at Bai Yan standing with his back to the bookshelf, Lin Anyi's heart was full of ups and downs.
"Pavilion Master, is there anything you have to do here this time? If there is something to do, just ask your subordinates! Lin Anyi didn't know what Bai Yan's purpose was at the moment, but out of respect, Lin Anyi lowered his head to his chest and asked.
Bai Yan's eyes quickly looked at the things on the shelves, and when he turned around, he said casually: "Blood drops have provoked us several times, and they came to the capital for the matter of blood droplets, and they will go on a mission." ”
Lin Anyi suddenly raised his head when he heard the three words of the task, and looked at Bai Yan in astonishment: "Huang Hu was disposed of by you, Pavilion Master?" ”
Bai Yan hummed lightly, stepped over the desk, leaned lazily in the chair, and looked at Lin Anyi with a shallow smile, like a girl next door.
Such a pure and lovely appearance can't be connected with that murderous female devil without blinking!
"Hall Master Lin, Pavilion Master is here to ask you, how much do you know about blood droplets?" Ye Jian only glanced at Bai Yan and knew what the master was thinking when he was lying his legs on the table at the moment.
Blood droplets?!
When he heard these three words, Lin Anyi only felt that his whole back was soaked, and he didn't dare to meet Bai Yan's gaze anymore.
"Lin Anyi, there is no news about this matter before that it has anything to do with the forces in Beijing, and you also know that the one in the imperial city is the most difficult to inquire about, we just want to ask if it may have a relationship." Bai Yan put down his legs leisurely, stood up with his hands on the table, and looked directly at Lin Anyi.
Shen Muqing's news, Bai Yan had already asked Gu Congwan to inquire about it, and it would be sent to the Lin Mansion later.
Looking at the white paper spread out on the table, Bai Yan smiled slightly, and his deep eyes couldn't see what kind of feelings he had, but Lin Anyi was taken aback.
"Pavilion Master! The forces of the rivers and lakes have never interfered with the forces of the imperial court, this is already a convention! Don't take any chances! Lin Anyi glanced at Bai Yan in a panic, and after meeting Bai Yan's eyes, he immediately lowered his head again.
Bai Yanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since you have been involved, do you have a way to get out if you want to get out?" ”
From blood droplets to Shen Muqing, one thing after another told Bai Yan all the time that it was impossible for the imperial court to let there be people or things on this side of the land that did not belong to them.
"By the way, what has Shen Muqing been doing lately?" Bai Yan suddenly came back to his senses and asked.
Now that Shen Muqing's identity has been clarified, Lin Anyi naturally thinks about it.
"Pavilion Master, wait a minute." Lin Anyi said, carefully walking behind Bai Yan and pulling out the top layer of paper from one of the grids.
The records in black and white are all about Shen Muqing's recent situation.
Lin Anyi, as the hall master of the Qinglong Hall of the Xuanye Pavilion, served as the head of the household department, so he was naturally responsible for supervising the daily life of the important people in the court.
Bai Yan stretched out two slender fingers, gently clamped the rice paper in Lin Anyi's hand, and only shook it in front of him for a moment, and then he knew what was written on it.
"Okay, if you're looking for me lately, go find me from the night." Bai Yan clapped his hands, returned the rice paper to Lin Anyi, and prepared to go out with Yejian.
Lin Anyi was even more surprised, listening to Bai Yan's tone, it turned out to be that he wanted to live in the capital, but why didn't Xiaozhu live here with him, but went to such a noisy and noisy place.
"You're here, there are too many visitors, it's not safe." Bai Yan's fluttering gaze swept around, and finally fixed on the tea cup on the table on the side.
It was the staff who had just left in too much hurry and had not yet cleaned up.
Lin Anyi looked at Bai Yan with some embarrassment, indeed, it is indeed not suitable for people to come and go here.
After sending Bai Yan away, Lin Anyi sat down in the chair as if all the strength of his body had been drained.
"What's wrong with you, sir? Who was that girl just now! The subordinates came up and couldn't help but ask curiously.
This girl looks soft and weak, but she doesn't dare to look directly at her, especially when she looks at her family's attitude of stopping, she knows that she is not easy to mess with.
Lin Anyi raised his head, his gaze fell on the rice paper on the table again, and he spit out a few words with relief: "Pavilion Master." ”
Just the word pavilion master surprised that subordinate for a while, and the mysterious Xuanye Pavilion master turned out to be a little girl!
"Okay, go down to work, remember, don't shut your mouth." Lin Anyi glared at the subordinate with a warning gaze.
The most important thing is that he feels that the pavilion master doesn't seem to trust him so much, which is what makes Lin Anyi the most flustered.
