"Phew" Ning Zuer smacked him with a red face, and said with a slight anger: "The emperor should have made you a eunuch first, so as to save you from harming those girls in the mood for love." ”

Seeing Ning Zuer's embarrassed and annoyed appearance, which was very different from his previous deep and atmospheric appearance, Yang Muyun couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect a joke to provoke such a big reaction from him, he smiled faintly at the moment, and changed the topic and said, "The Mo brothers are still on an errand under you, right?" ”

Ning Zu'er glared at him, as if her anger had not subsided, and she said angrily: "What, do you think they have succumbed to me after me?" If you feel that they are wronged, just bring them into the palace. ”

Hearing his words as if he had eaten gunpowder, Yang Muyun smiled, turned his face away, and saw Guo Cong walking out of the hall where the coffin was parked with a smile on his face.

Yang Muyun was stunned, and said in his heart After worshipping the dead, you don't have to smile so brightly, right? He immediately arched his hand to him and asked lightly, "Are things done?" ”

"Well," Guo Cong nodded, and very happily leaned his face to Yang Muyun's ear and whispered: "I only know now that Ai Yushi hanged himself and had nothing to do with the twenty sticks, so I will go back to the palace to report to the emperor......

"Hanged himself?" Yang Muyun was stunned, and asked him in disbelief, "How can this be?" How did you find out? ”

"It's his wife who said it," Guo Cong glanced back at the hall and said, "I just took a closer look at Ai Yushi's body, the strangulation marks under the neck are very obvious, the saliva on the side of the mouth has been dried, the face is bruised, and it is now black, so there is no doubt that he hanged himself." ”

"Oh?" Yang Muyun's eyes rolled, and he said strangely: "Then why did Ai Yushi hang himself?" Have you ever asked his wife? ”

"There are so many twists and turns in the belly of these civil officials, who knows why he was hanged? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, so I don't bother to ask! Guo Cong was rude, and he had never thought of any complicated issues in his head, Yang Muyun asked a few more words, and he became impatient.

Yang Muyun smiled and said in a low voice: "Brother Guo said that he would return to the palace to report to the emperor, but I don't know how to tell the emperor about it?" ”

"What else can I say, tell the truth," Guo Cong's eyes widened, a little uncertain, "The emperor has always thought that I killed him, so I naturally want to make it clear to the emperor." ”

"And then?" Yang Muyun said with a sneering face: "Do you want the emperor to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for you, or kowtow to make amends?" ”

"......" Guo Cong was speechless for a while, he was a martial artist with a straight intestine, and he only felt that he had been wronged and wanted to confide, but after all, he was not stupid, if he said these words to the emperor in person, he also felt that there was a trace of inappropriateness in his heart.

"That'...... So what do you think I should do? Guo Cong asked with some uneasiness on his face.

"After returning to the palace, you only need to reply to the emperor that the five hundred taels of silver have been handed over to the Ai family, and don't say anything else, as for Ai Yushi, he hanged himself, and he can't mention a word." Yang Muyun said with a grim face.

"Then won't the emperor never know that I was wronged." Guo Cong said a little unwillingly.

"What are you worth for being wronged?" Yang Muyun said: "This is better than letting the emperor not come to the stage, besides, ......" He glanced at Ning Zu'er, "Jinyi Wei has intervened, can the truth of this matter be hidden from the emperor?" ”

"You said that these brocade guards were sent by the emperor......" Guo Cong saw Ning Zuer's gaze looking at him, and quickly closed his mouth.

"Brother Guo," Yang Muyun glanced at him, "Who does Jinyi Wei belong to, don't you know this?" ”

"Oh......" Guo Cong nodded repeatedly.

"So," Yang Muyun said slowly, "This thing is true."

You know that I know the emperor, everyone knows it, and it's done, but it's not interesting to say it. ”

"You are still smart, brother, otherwise I will make a big mistake as a brother." Guo Cong sighed lightly, as if he was a little afraid.

"Brother Guo is still not stupid, otherwise how could there be a cong character in his name?" Yang Muyun teased.

"Let the virtuous brother see it." Guo Cong squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's here, let's go back to the palace!" ”

"Brother Guo go back first," Yang Muyun glanced at Ning Zu'er, "I am an old acquaintance with this Lord Ning, and I have a few words I want to tell him." ”

"Okay, the foolish brother won't bother the virtuous brother." Guo Cong arched his hand to him, "Farewell!" ”

......

Seeing Guo Cong out of the courtyard, Ning Zu'er Fang said, "This person is very interesting, is he on duty in the palace with you?" ”

Yang Muyun nodded, "Don't look at him as a rough man, he is very big!" His great-grandfather was Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, who was the founder of Emperor Taizu! ”

"Why do you need to say this," Ning Zu'er's anger didn't seem to be smooth, "which one of the emperor's personal guards is not the son of the meritorious hero?" ”

Yang Muyun rubbed his nose and glanced at him with a strange face, "Are you sarcastic about me?" I'm not. ”

Ning Zuer looked at him, and suddenly laughed with a "poof", pretty and bright like a peach blossom, even more charming than a woman.

Yang Muyun saw him smile, and his heart was much more relaxed, "You look so good when you smile, if I am a woman, I will definitely like you." ”

Ning Zu'er had a pretty face, "If you say crazy things again, I will really turn my face with you." ”

"Ning Gongzi, it was my mistake," Yang Muyun looked at him deeply, "Isn't it okay for me to make amends to you here?" ”

Ning Zu'er dodged to the side, and said with a smile on her face: "Don't, you are a big celebrity next to the emperor, I can't afford to be like you." Then he said, "Okay, I won't joke with you, you deliberately stayed here and want to say something to me?" ”

Yang Muyun's face was straight, and he glanced at the hall where the coffin was parked, where the orphans and widows were still crying, crying and throwing strings of paper money into the brazier.

"What Guo Cong said just now, is it true?" Yang Muyun asked.

Ning Zuer bowed her head slightly and replied, "If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." ”

"No need," Yang Muyun shook his head, "disturbing the undead for no reason, I will be uneasy in my heart." He looked at him and asked, "Then why did this Ai Yushi hang himself?" ”

Ning Zuer thought for a moment and said, "Listening to Mrs. Ai, since Ai Yushi was sent home, he looked sluggish, silent, and didn't even eat dinner. He shut himself up in the house, saying that he wanted to be quiet, but the next morning, he found himself hanging himself in his house. ”

"Did he leave a suicide note or something?" Yang Muyun then asked.

"No," Ning Zu'er glanced at him strangely, "What are you asking for such detail, is this also an errand given to you by the emperor?" ”

"No," Yang Muyun smiled, "I'm just a little curious, why he is the only one who died of several people who advised the emperor to move the capital." ”

"That's because he's the only one on the board, isn't it?" Ning Zu'er blinked.

"After a pause, he hanged himself angrily, this Ai Yushi is too narrow-minded." Yang Muyun sighed.

"It is not impossible for people to be humiliated and resentful, and then they cannot think of committing suicide." Ning Zuer said.

"Perhaps," Yang Muyun glanced into the hall again,

Supervising the imperial history is a speech official, and it is their duty to do things according to rumors, and they can only rely on a meager salary to support their families, but they have no other income. Ai Yushi is very happy to go this time, it is so pitiful to leave this orphan and widow! ”

"It seems that you are not satisfied with the answer I gave." Ning Zuer said lightly.

"Don't talk about this," Yang Muyun turned to him and said: "I haven't invited you to eat and drink since I returned to Beijing, if you have time later, you must let me go back to the East." ”

"Why are you so polite to me?" Ning Zu'er glanced at the Mo brothers standing outside the courtyard gate, "Is it because of them?" ”

"You think too much," Yang Muyun smiled faintly, "Can't you and I just sit down and have a drink?" ”

A carriage stopped in front of the Qingyuan Building, the most magnificent restaurant in Beijing, the curtain was lifted, and a stunning girl wearing a light colored Qiluo shirt and skirt walked down from the car, her jet-black hair was combed into a three-girl bun, and a golden step was inserted obliquely on it, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water.

At this time, a shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face.

The girl's eyes flashed, and when the guy walked in, he asked in a low voice, "He's here?" ”

"Well," the shopkeeper bowed slightly, but his face remained silent, "He is in the Qingzi room on the third floor, and it seems that he is already waiting a little impatiently." ”

"No matter how impatient he is, he has to wait, anyway, it's not me who is in a hurry!" The girl smiled and walked into the restaurant with light steps.

......

In an elegant room at the end of the third floor of Qingyuan Building, there was a man wearing a dark robe and a hat, and the hat on his head was so low that his face could not be seen. His right hand rested on the table, and his knuckles tapped on the table, making a "stomping" sound.

The door of the elegant room squeaked open, and a stunning girl appeared in front of the door.

She looked at the man wearing the hat, tapped the door panel lightly, and the door closed automatically as if it were on a mechanism.

The girl smiled at the corner of her lips and sat down opposite the man, lifted the teapot and poured tea in the empty cup in front of her, then brought it to her lips and blew the tea foam on it, took a sip, Fang smiled and said to the man: "Don't you order a few dishes when the master comes in person?" Doesn't this seem like a little lady is not well treated? ”

The man snorted heavily, and said with a hint of resentment in his voice: "That's it, it's better to put away your hypocritical set, I'm here to talk to you about business." ”

"When did the lord come to talk about something that wasn't serious?" The girl smiled at the corner of her eyes, "Since you are here, how can I bear to let you come hungry to talk about things, is this hospitality?" As he spoke, he clapped his palms, but the sound was not loud, but he saw that the door of the private room opened again, and the guys rushed in, placing the sumptuous dishes neatly on the table, and then bowed and retreated, and the door closed again, and the private room was surprisingly quiet.

The girl Yingying got up, picked up the celadon carved wine jug on the table and came to the man, Hao wrist moved, a wisp of golden wine poured into the wine glass in front of the man, and the room was fragrant with wine for a while.

"This is the best 20-year-old golden pot dew in the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that it is made of water and ginger juice, and it is brewed with floating rice, mellow and beautiful, the color is golden, the entrance is sweet, the aftertaste is long, the old man is here, you have to taste it." The girl said with a smile.

"Let the county lord pour the wine himself, I don't dare to be it!" The man said without looking up.

"What dare you do this?" The girl smiled and said: "My county lord's signboard can only be placed on the grassland to bluff people, in this Ming realm, but it is worthless." ”
