It was noon when he returned to the city after separating from Shiqing, but Shen Huan's mood at this moment was different from that in the morning, and he was very relaxed! This can't help but make him feel that the ancients' theory of yin and yang reconciliation is so accurate, and doing something with his beloved can indeed release pressure and make people happy! It's a pity that this mood was instantly drowned in that tense atmosphere as soon as he returned to the county office......

The speed of the Qingyi Alliance was indeed very fast, and it only took a day and a half to bring the information back from Hangzhou, not only that, but they also met Wang Yuntian and their old friend Chen Shijie on the way! And returned to Jiangyin with him.

As soon as he entered the county office, Shen Huan heard the news, and after seeing Chen Shijie, Shen Huan was also frightened by the temperament of this legendary rich and young tyrant in Qiantang!

Although Chen Shijie looks like a handsome boy with a folding fan, and he looks like a handsome guy with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his style is shocking! Not to mention the silk and satin he was wearing, the gold ring on his hand with ten fingers alone almost blinded Shen Huan's dog eyes! A finger-thick jewel gold and jade necklace hangs around the neck, and the belt is completely made of pure gold, and it almost blinds people's eyes in the sun! The whole person looks like he is saying to people that I am a local tyrant, who am I afraid of?

But it is such a person who is shining with gold all over his body, but he loves to be vassal, the folding fan in his hand is painted by Guo Xi, and the inscription is also the handwriting of the secretary of the provincial school Lang Mi Fu! Coupled with a jade pendant of the Han Dynasty, it feels so ...... Embarrassed......

Shen Huan thought for a long time and could only use the word embarrassing to describe Chen Shijie, where does this look like a super tyrant? It's more like an upstart......

"In Xia Shenhuan, I saw Brother Chen."

Shen Huan greeted Chen Shijie and said, "I don't know what happened to Brother Chen's arrival in Jiangyin this time?"

Chen Shijie replied, "Brother Shen is polite, I came to Jiangyin this time to visit Brother Wang and them." I've heard about it, Brother Wang, they are all in trouble this time, thanks to Brother Shen, you came to your rescue! Therefore, I also prepare a small gift, thank you for saving their lives to Brother Wang! ”

Looking at the contents of the box, Shen Huan's eyelids jumped, and he closed the box handed by Chen Shijie with difficulty, and Shen Huan returned the gift to him, "No need Brother Chen, Brother Wang and I are also friends, this is not appropriate." ”

"Okay, I just want to meet Brother Wang and them this time, can you bother Brother Shen to arrange it for me?"

"That's nature! Please come with me! ”

Seeing that Chen Shijie did not insist on stuffing the gift to himself, Shen Huan breathed a sigh of relief and was a little reluctant at the same time, there is no one who does not love money, and he is no exception...... But Shen Huan knows very well what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken ...

took Chen Shijie to the prison and saw his old friend, Wang Yuntian and they were very happy, and they chatted with Chen Shijie, either with the support of family property that can not be spent in dozens of lifetimes, or his nouveau riche personality, Chen Shijie's tone of speech was also full of the temperament of a local tyrant, and he even proposed a way to use money to smash and redeem Wang Yuntian and them from the prison! This made Shen Huan, who was on the side, break out in a cold sweat......

Not wanting to disturb their rare reunion, Shen Huan left the prison and asked Tie Wushuang about the situation in Hangzhou. As he thought, Hangzhou Zhizhou at this time was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and after learning the intention of the Qingyi League, he truthfully told the details of the tribute without saying a word.

Most of these tributes are gold, silver, jade, calligraphy, painting, and antiques made by famous masters, as well as local tea specialties. Although it didn't sound like anything special, there were a few things in it that caught Shen Huan's attention! These things are Yan Liben's painting in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and a handwritten book of Emperor Yingzong, and there is also a royal jade pendant that has been circulated among the people.

Among these four things, Yan Liben's paintings and Wang Xizhi's characters can be said to be priceless treasures! However, Shen Huan excluded them at the first time! The reason for this is simple, because he believed that the purpose of Manichaeism was not for money, so these two things, even if they were worth anything, were just dispensable things to them!

In addition, the words of Emperor Yingzong, the value of this kind of thing can be large or small, the emperor's imperial pen is not available to everyone, and those who have this kind of thing are all the emperor's relatives, or ministers who play an important role in the court and the opposition! For these people, or for some special collectors, this thing is sure to be priceless too! But for ordinary people, this thing is no more precious than gold and silver jewelry......

There is also the royal jade pendant that lives among the people, according to the current system, there are only a few specific channels for the things in the palace to flow to the people! One is the eunuch or palace maid in the palace, who was sent out of the palace when he was old, because he received some rewards in the palace that year, so he brought them back together. In addition, it was stolen by the palace maid and eunuch, and took the opportunity to leave the palace and secretly sold it to the black market in various places, so it was lost. As for the last one, it is a token that the emperor gave to a good person when he left the palace, but this one is also the most unlikely! Emperor Yingzong's health has not been very good during his lifetime, and after becoming the emperor, he died after only a few years of reign! How can you be so sick that you still have the heart to go out and find a merry? However, there is a knife on the head of the color word, and it is not impossible to do this......

After some judgment and screening, Shen Huan finally set his eyes on Emperor Yingzong's words and the jade pendant, these two things are related to the royal family, the emperor cares so much about this batch of tributes, is there any special mystery in which of these two things! Unfortunately, all of this is still unknown......

In addition to the news of the tribute, the information about Chen Shijie and that grandmother-in-law also came over not long after, Chen Shijie didn't need to say much, he was here now, except for the temperament of some nouveau riche, he himself was no different from ordinary people......

As for that grandmother-in-law, according to Tie Wushuang's information, she is also a very ordinary old woman, and since Wang Yuntian taught her unfilial son a lesson, her son has really changed his temper! Serve the old man well! As early as last summer, Grandma Sun had already finished her life......

After the death of Grandma Sun, her son has been working in Kaifeng City, only to worship in the village during the New Year's Festival, and there are only daughters-in-law and his son at home in the city, as for the Feiyunjian, but it can't be found! According to Grandma Sun and her son, he really doesn't know where the old lady is hiding! Besides, this thing wasn't worth much in the first place, so they didn't take it seriously! Maybe it's still lying in some corner of the old house!

After hearing this, Shen Huan thought about it, and said to Tie Wushuang: "Brother Tie, you tell the brothers in Kaifeng that they must find the Feiyun Jian, if they can't find it, then the piece left at the scene of the crime is likely to be the Feiyun Jian in Granny Sun's hand!" If this is the case, you must ask if there is still anyone who knows that Granny Sun has such a Feiyun Jian in her hand! Has anyone asked them about it? I even came into contact with that Feiyun Jian! ”

"Okay! I'll let them try it......"

Although Tie Wushuang agreed, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, he believed that his brother must have gone to the Sun family's old mansion to find the missing Feiyun Jian, but they didn't find it last time, can they find it this time? Regardless, this thing is still to be found, at least for now, and this is the most likely clue......

Just as he and Tie Wushuang's next move was deployed, Shen Huan suddenly noticed that several waves of people had already run outside the county yamen! Most of these people were dressed in tatters, their bodies were not very clean, and they were holding a broken bowl in their hands, and they looked like beggars! There are also many poor people who are cleanly dressed, but the patches are already all over the body!

Shen Huan felt strange, "What are these people doing in a hurry?" Could it be that the power of Manichaeism has begun to penetrate deeper into these people? ”

"Hey! No! This is Chen Shijie bought a few hundred stones of rice from Juntun and opened a soup kitchen shop in the city, and not all the beggars and poor people in the city have gone! ”

Listening to Tie Wushuang's words, Shen Huan couldn't believe his ears, "This Chen Shijie did a good deed to do something that we are here?" Still buying rice from Juntun? Isn't this military rations? Can this also be bought and sold? ”

Tie Wushuang said: "What's so strange about this? I also bought rice from Juntun! There is a lot of rice produced in Juntun every year! After deducting military salaries, there will be a lot of military tun left every year, there is no large-scale war at the moment, and some old rice is wasted if it is not used there! Therefore, in addition to keeping some necessary reserves, the captain will sell them to merchants to earn a little silver. ”

“……”

Tie Wushuang's words made Shen Huan roll his eyes when he heard it, seeing that Tie Wushuang said it so naturally, he estimated that this kind of thing should already be the unspoken rule of the garrisons everywhere...... As far as the law is concerned, the army is strictly forbidden to do business, and it is forbidden to buy and sell military materials without permission. And there may be many officials who acquiesce or simply act as their umbrella! And these silver bought and sold through black, except for some of them into the pockets of local military officers, more of them may have become someone else's extra money......

Thinking of this, Shen Huan couldn't help but feel a little chilled, he didn't know if these people had resold these grains to others, such as Western Xia or Liao...... The agricultural civilization of the Central Plains basically has no shortage of food, which is only equivalent to a drop in the ocean! However, for the regime of a few nomads, this food is most likely a strategic material! If there is such a person, then Shen Huan has to say why the Great Song Dynasty has always been in constant trouble? In fact, they are all doing their own work!

Tie Wushuang didn't see what Shen Huan was thinking in his heart, he thought that Shen Huan was worried that gathering too many people would cause turmoil, "Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Although this batch of grain has been bought, this is also military food! So Captain Pang personally led the soldiers to guard! There won't be any problems! ”

Hearing him say this, Shen Huan wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he couldn't say it, so he could only comfort himself This can be regarded as a good deed for the poor people of Jiangyin, at least they don't have to starve anymore for the next few days......

"That's it! No problem! It's noon now, I guess Chen Shijie has already ordered wine and food to eat in the prison, let's find a place to have lunch! Damn! This broken county doesn't even have a drink! Phew! ”

Tie Wushuang couldn't help but complain a little when he said this, he was a person who didn't drink and didn't like it, and this day without wine was even more uncomfortable than the day when he didn't have food!

found a wine shop opposite the county government and sat down, and it happened that there was also an ancestral rice wine sold by Li Laoliu here, so Shen Huan ordered a jar for Tie Wushuang to taste.

Soon a jar full of rice wine was hugged to the table, and when he saw the wine jar, Tie Wushuang was like seeing a peerless beauty, and he couldn't wait to uncover the sealing mud, and poured it without any image! However, when he was drinking wildly, Shen Huan found that the oiled paper wrapped in sealing mud just now was a little different from the usual one, and when he looked closely, there were two words written under the oiled paper!

"Be careful!"

The handwriting on the oil paper is very beautiful, and it doesn't look like it was written by an illiterate shopkeeper at all! Looking at those two words, Shen Huan suddenly realized something! Turning his head to look, he saw that the shopkeeper winked at him and disappeared into the crowded road......

Shen Huan's eyes are very familiar! This is clearly Shiqing's eyes! But why did she deliberately disguise herself to remind herself to be careful? What do you need to be careful about? Could it be that Manichaeism wants to do it to itself? However, Shen Huan felt that this should not be so simple...... Manichaeism was eyeing him, he already knew this, Shiqing didn't need to remind himself at all! Could it be that the Manichaeans made some kind of plan against themselves? Thinking of this, Shen Huan suddenly felt a heavy feeling in his heart, and he felt that the crisis was approaching him little by little......
