The last time they came to Jinling, Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Shulan went to the Confucius Temple on a rainy night, picked a bag of dates, and then followed the trail, but they were stopped by someone before they reached the top of the mountain.

He wanted to take Su Mo to find out another day, but he was tired of everything, so he forgot about it, but when Linjiang interrogated Lin Hong, Lin Hong mentioned the Confucius Temple.

As a holy place in the former dynasty, the Confucius Temple was extremely prosperous before. The scenery on the mountain is beautiful, overlooking Qinhuai and most of Jinling City, and this Confucius Temple is still where the Taimiao of the former dynasty is located, so it has also become a place where literati gather.

It is precisely because this is the reason for the Taimiao of the previous dynasty, after the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, the existence of the Confucius Temple was gradually diluted, so the Yu Dynasty's literary and holy place was completely changed to Lantingji, and the Confucius Temple gradually withered, and few people went up after that. To this day, even the temple gate is in a dilapidated state, and it has faded out of everyone's sight.

Lin Hong said that five days before Fu Xiaoguan was kidnapped, Ji Linchun, the proprietress of the Rouge Building, went to the Confucius Temple.

Since the Confucius Temple has been dilapidated, there is neither a god nor a Buddha on it, what is this Ji Linchun doing in the Confucius Temple?

Could it be that there are still secrets hidden in that place?

Fu Xiaoguan can't get out, if Su Jue can investigate secretly, this is naturally the best way.

Su Jue nodded in response, took off the crown hat and took the crow out of the hat, wrote a small note and stuffed it into a bamboo tube and tied it to the crow's leg, and then touched the crow's head, and saw the crow fluttering out and disappearing into the dark snowy night.

This matter has always been hanging on Fu Xiaoguan's body, but he did not use the power of the Drizzle Building to investigate, because the real owner of the Drizzle Building is still Shang Guifei.

It's not that Fu Xiaoguan suspects Shang Guifei, but he can't trust Drizzle Building, this matter involves the mastermind behind his assassination, and he doesn't want to alarm anyone until he finds it out.

Of course, except for those who are sitting here at the moment, these people are the most trustworthy people in this world.

"Are you really going to risk your life?" Su Jue asked.

"It's not a risk, after all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and they don't dare to assassinate them with great fanfare. Besides, now that I know about this, I will naturally be more cautious when traveling. As long as you can arrive within fifty breaths, I am confident that I can still protect myself, after all, I have also practiced the Jiuyang Heart Sutra, right? ”

Su Su giggled, thinking to himself that with your Nine Yang Heart Sutra, even if you are a third-rate master, you will not live for fifty breaths.

However, Su Rou looked at Dong Shulan and Yu Wenyun, who were nervous, and said, "You two don't have to worry, with me here, nothing will happen to him." ”

"What can you guarantee?" Yu Wenyun asked unhappily. There is only one life, in case someone misses and disappears...... It's not a one-word thing.

Su Rou looked at the snowflakes flying under the red lantern outside Qingxin Pavilion, she smiled faintly, an embroidery needle flew out, and flew back in an instant, she pinched the embroidery needle and handed it to Yu Wenyun, there was a snowflake hanging on the tip of the needle, hexagonal, clearly visible, and then melted.

"I've been embroidering flowers for nearly twenty years."

Yu Wenyun looked at Su Rou in amazement, and Su Rou lowered her head and embroidered the mandarin duck again.

She didn't see the needle fly out at all, let alone stab a snowflake and fly back, is this the martial arts that my brother talked about? My brother uses a sword, but this Su Rou girl actually uses a needle!

Dong Shulan and Fu Xiaoguan were also very surprised, they had never seen Su Rou make a move, they didn't expect her to be so powerful, if it was to kill someone, it would be killing people invisibly.

It's terrible to think about, this thin needle flew out far away and took people's lives and flew back, it is estimated that it is impossible to find out the cause of death at all, and it is really a great skill to walk the rivers and lakes!

So the senior brother Su Jue...... Could it be that the wooden sword on his back is useless?

What about Susu? It's impossible to use that huge piano.

……

On the third day of the first lunar month, heavy snow remains.

After Fu Xiaoguan took a morning exercise and bath, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw this world:

Heaven and earth are one and the same

Inoue black hole

The black dog has a white body

The white dog is swollen!

Dong Shulan covered her small mouth and smiled, Su Su sat on the rockery and shook her little feet, thinking that this poem was very good.

The words are concise and to the point, and you can understand it when you hear it, but there are two black and white dogs missing here - if it weren't for the second senior brother, there used to be such a pair of dogs in the view.

The poor dog, just last winter, was stewed with tears in his eyes by himself, the second senior brother and the master.

From the third day of the new year, merchants will be open for business normally.

Dong Shulan wanted to talk to Fu Xiaoguan about the income and expenditure of the previous year, but Fu Xiaoguan was not interested in it, and she didn't bother to say it, anyway, the money she earned was in her account.

"You have to urge the goods in Xishan, especially the wine, I asked the second brother to talk about a new shop, I have to buy a few more places, Xiangquan and Tianol have already made a name for themselves in Shangjing, but they are not sold in Shangjing, this is not good, we have to have our own store to sell these two kinds of wine, and the name of the store is still called Yu Fuji."

"In addition, we must at least complete the layout of the beautiful city in Shangjing this year, and the four major urban areas must be completed, which must be completed within these two months, and then see how the situation expands to the surrounding areas."

"Although I saw Sister Su Rou's strength last night, you still have to be careful, after all, the sword has no eyes, and your body is not as tough as the sword - otherwise, you have an iron pot on your back?"

Fu Xiaoguan is happy, do I still have to build a frying pan?

"Don't worry, I work out every day. It's you and Wenyun, I guess this morning run has long been forgotten. ”

Dong Shulan lost a roll of his eyes and ran in the morning...... It's so good to sleep in the morning, what are you going to run?

Then after breakfast, Dong Shulan went to the beautiful shop in Qingluan Lane, Fu Xiaoguan thought about it, and asked the government to arrange three carriages to go to Shi's house.

He sat in one of the carriages, and it was not a temporary idea to visit Shi's family, but he had told Shi Yiming yesterday.

And one of the purposes of his trip was to the two open spaces at both ends of Qingluan Lane.

The two open spaces are very large, the location is excellent, if two comprehensive shopping malls are built, it will become the same existence as the landmark of Jinling City, and it is inevitable to make money in the future.

Of course, Shi Chaoyuan will definitely not want to see him, but if Shi Yiming brings his words, this Shi Chaoyuan will definitely see him.

As long as Shi Chaoyuan can see him, he will be fifty percent sure that he will hold those two pieces of land in his hands.

As for the second purpose of visiting the Shi family, it is to show His Majesty!

Aren't you going to make me a lonely minister? I'll show you.

As for the third purpose...... Of course, he wanted to lure out the Assassin, but after thinking about it, the Assassin was probably not so stupid, so this goal was probably not achieved.

……

Also on the morning of the third year of junior high school, Shi Chaoyuan went to the study in the back garden and met his father, Mrs. Shi.

"Yesterday's incident, I wonder if my father can make a decision?"

Old lady Shi walked a few steps in the study with a white crane crutch, his spirit was good, nearly seventy people, his waist was not rickety, and his eyes were not faint. It's just that the hair and beard are all white, and the ravines on the face are quite deep.

"My Shi family started with rouge gouache, and it has been passed down for five generations. It was not until the beginning of the third generation that someone entered the court and became an official. After so many years...... My Shi family's power in officialdom is still the weakest. The people in Beijing think that this second gate valve in Shangjing is my Shi family, but only you and I know that our Shi family can't even compare to the Xue family, and at most it can beat the Qin family, which is still because the two brothers of Qin Bingzhong are against each other. ”

Old lady Shi sat down at the tea table, her hands still on crutches, and said: "Last year, the Fu Xiaoguan was assassinated, and the five princes sent the Qingfeng Drizzle Building to clean up the Rouge Building and Yongle Fang, and you are to bear the main responsibility for this matter!" ”

"Father's ......"

Old lady Shi raised her hand and interrupted Shi Chaoyuan's words.

"You've always thought about it, why did you come out on top of the Golden Temple that day? Don't answer, let me guess. ”

The cold sweat on Shi Chaoyuan's forehead suddenly appeared, he lowered his head and listened respectfully.

"The eldest prince has had no mother since he was a child, but you must know that the Xue family is the eldest prince's maternal uncle. The Xue family is extremely low-key in Shangjing, but since they have the ability to send Xue Binglan to the throne of the queen, they can judge that their strength is not so simple. So will the eldest prince be simple? ”

"Others think that the eldest prince is a martial artist, could it be that you are also blind?"

Shi Chaoyuan knelt down with a puff, "Father...... I, my son, is also forced to do so! At that time, the eldest prince looked for me, and said, "I don't like that Fu Xiaoguan, and ask me to humiliate him in the Golden Palace." ”

Old lady Shi's crutches "Bang!" Shi Chaoyuan's heart was shocked, and Old Lady Shi took a deep breath, "You...... Don't think I don't know what you've done. I'm old, but I'm not blind in these eyes. If you step on two boats, you will fall into the river, why don't you learn from Master Yan? ”

Old lady Shi hated that iron could not become steel, and he shook his head, "Shangjing City said that Yan Valve and my Shi family support the eldest prince, but in fact? Could it be that you believe it too? Yan Valve will always support the emperor who sits on the dragon chair! And my Shi family must also be like a swallow valve! You just want to stand in line, and you still think about standing on both sides, how can there be such a good thing in the world? ”

"So I went to meet Concubine Shang and asked her to ask the fifth prince to send a breeze and drizzle building to raze those two properties."

Shi Chaoyuan raised his head in amazement, looked at his father suspiciously, and then lowered his head again.

The father's move was ostensibly to give Fu Xiaoguan an explanation, but in fact it was done to show Shang Guifei to prove that the assassination of Fu Xiaoguan had nothing to do with the Shi family.

"Do you think it's too expensive? Do you still think that Fu Xiaoguan is insignificant? ”

Shi Chaoyuan didn't answer, because that's what he really thought.

"You didn't see this game clearly! You don't even know who set up this game-within-a-game! ”

"Are you really naïve to think that His Majesty's thorough investigation of ink corruption this time is an accident? Do you really think that Fu Xiaoguan's assassination was just because he offended people with his strategy? ”

"Childish!"
