Chang'an City.

After finally being more free in the past few days, Meng Changan locked himself in the small courtyard to practice and study, and almost every day in Chang'an City he did what he didn't like to do, but this was the emperor's order and he couldn't resist it.

Not to mention Meng Chang'an, even those wolf Turks feel a little tired, the envoys of various countries stationed in Chang'an City want to meet them, and the officials who return to Beijing to report their work from all over the country want to meet them, and then take them to visit the various functions and powers of the capital, and they have enjoyed the treatment that ordinary people do not have, but they are really tired, and they have to say the same thing ten times, twenty times, or even hundreds of times.

Finally, they went through the motions, and these wolf Turks also looked forward to the good news, and the big Ai Jin on the grassland finally came all the way to pick them up and take them home, but before that, the big Yi Jin, who was finally allowed to enter Beijing once, also had to go through the same scene, and God knows when he could leave for the grassland.

Meng Chang'an originally lived in Chang'anyi, but it was too noisy and chaotic, and he couldn't tell which big man in the yamen would come out to see him, express his appreciation and praise for him, and then explain in a serious voice that I am optimistic about you if you continue to work hard......

In the end, Meng Changan took out his own money and found a good vacant courtyard in Liubu Alley, not far from Babu Lane, and lived in a good vacant courtyard, except for the old dean of the academy, he only told a few officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War who had to let them know, and fled the post station with his own salute overnight, and it was rare to come out to hide and be clean just waiting for him to come down to the will of the northern frontier.

However, His Majesty the Emperor is too busy, and he will always remember him when he is busy.

Meng Changan was also in a hurry, so he had to ask the old dean to help him ask a few more times.

Obviously, northern Xinjiang is the place where he is most needed, and the comfort in Chang'an City belongs to the people, not the soldiers.

After living in this small courtyard for a few days, the feeling of purity and comfort at the beginning was gone, and only anxiety and helplessness remained.

Fortunately, the old dean gave him a lot of military books, and Meng Changan naturally couldn't read other books, so he got up every day to practice boxing and then read, went out to eat and came back to take a nap, and then boxed and read...... In fact, I don't feel comfortable at all, let alone comfortable.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten him, and this small courtyard was a corner of the world.

The only place worth feeling relieved about is that there are many restaurants on Jinxiu Street not far from his residence, and he can't finish eating for a month, and then Meng Changan can't help but think that if Silly Lengzi lives alone in this kind of place, he will probably be able to calm down, what will he do more than himself?

So Meng Changan went out on a whim, went out to buy some meat and vegetables, and came back to cook by himself, and found that cooking needed more than just a few vegetables and a few taels of meat, it turned out that he also needed oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and various seasonings, and also needed a lot more knives than dishes and chopsticks......

Meng Changan patiently wrote everything he thought of on a piece of paper and then went out to buy it, it took him more than half a day to buy it all, and he didn't buy some food halfway when he was hungry, just thinking that what he made must be extremely delicious, and it would not be worse than a stupid lengzi.

You have to respect your choice and have a sense of ceremony, so you can endure the smell of the meat buns on the side of the road, and the ramen over there will be even more fragrant, and the aroma of the hanging oven baked cakes a little farther away will seem to occupy Meng Changan's soul in an instant, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.

I can't lose.

After going back, he found the small floral apron he bought, Meng Changan, who was in the body of a tiger, put on the apron in front of the bronze mirror, and the moment he put on the apron, he felt that he should be killed head-on.

Washed the dishes the same, cut the meat exquisitely, and then Meng Changan put the recipe specially bought from the bookstore on the table and opened it, and then threw it into the trash.

He took a deep breath, feeling more exciting than going to the battlefield, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Silly Lengzi likes to cook, not to mention that there will be a sense of accomplishment when he stir-fries a plate of good products with both color and fragrance, even after washing and cutting vegetables, and buying these things, it is also very fulfilling.

"Kill!"

The man picked up the iron pot.

Shouted to kill.

Half an hour later, Meng Changan poured a few dishes he fried into the trash, found a particularly large cloth bag and came out, stuffed all kinds of things into the pots and pans, knives, plates, and boards, and knocked on the door with a big bag on his back, and the neighbor next door came out and looked at him with a blank face.

The neighbor thought that this new neighbor was quite polite, this big bag, this heavy energy, it was really polite and affectionate.

Go back to the house and open it, confused.

Meng Changan sent things out, felt much more relaxed, and took advantage of the fact that it was not completely dark, and went outside to buy meat buns, cooked food and a bag of baked cakes in one go, feeling that this is also a very thriving state of life, this is the greatest respect for food, why do it yourself......

When he was eating at home, he heard a knock on the door, Meng Changan thought that the neighbor next door was not satisfied with the meeting gift and came to return it, so he walked out with an embarrassed face, opened the door and looked at it, and the corner of his eyebrows involuntarily picked up at that moment.

Outside the door, there were six or seven men in black brocade clothes, wearing black beams, and embroidered a white balance emblem on the left chest of the clothes.

"Is it General Meng?"

"I am, who are you?"

The middle-aged man at the head barely squeezed out a smile, it looked really ugly.

"The lowly position is He Kui, the court secretary of the court lieutenant's mansion, and he was ordered to come to ask General Meng a few questions, routine business, and ask the general for forgiveness."

"Ask me something?"

"Regarding the case of the death of Pei Xiao, the general of the Northern Frontier Army, the Criminal Department has officially handed over to our Tingwei Mansion, and I was going to send someone to the Northern Frontier, but I happened to know that the general was now in Chang'an City, so I came to ask first."

"I just moved here, and you're looking for it pretty quickly."

"Daning is so big, tens of thousands of miles, I can find the people I want to find in the Tingwei Mansion, not to mention that this is Chang'an?"

He Kui asked, "The general doesn't plan to let us in?" ”

Meng Changan opened the door: "Please come in." ”

There were two people from the Tingwei Mansion who stayed at the door and did not come in, and the others followed Meng Changan into the house, the owner of this courtyard was originally transferred to the field by a Beijing official, but the things at home were complete, otherwise there would be no place to sit.

Sitting in the living room, of course Meng Changan will not think of making tea for guests and the like, he doesn't drink tea himself, where does the tea come from, when he went out with scouts in the northern Xinjiang, he is thirsty is a mouthful of snow, in Meng Changan's view, there is time to make tea can do a lot of serious things, it is such a pure and elegant place in the academy when he is studying in Chang'an, he also feels that the so-called fragrant tea is not as refreshing as a well water, no matter winter or summer.

After He Kui sat down, he thought that Meng Changan would say a few words of greetings first, but what he didn't expect was that Meng Changan just sat there and waited for him to ask.

"It's been almost two months since the general arrived in Chang'an."

"Yes."

"This case has actually already reached the Criminal Department, and I don't know why it has been handed over to our Tingwei Mansion until now, and now Lord Tingwei is not in the capital, so I have to come over to the general to find out."

Meng Changan suddenly asked, "How many officials is the Tingwei Mansion?" ”

"Huh?"

He Kui seemed to pause: "Why did the general ask about this?" ”

Meng Changan: "You haven't answered me yet." ”

He Kui replied: "Zhengliupin, which is also considered a military position, is probably a lieutenant colonel." ”

"Oh...... Du Tingwei Han Zhaozhi is not here, right? ”

"Yes."

"Then at least I should come to see me, and only you will be a court secretary...... Let me guess what the reason is. ”

Meng Changan looked at He Kui's eyes and said seriously: "Since the Tingwei Mansion is specialized in investigating and handling cases involving officials, then it is naturally a place with great rules, and if you come to me for questioning, you are not afraid that you will not be pressed by my level and you will not ask anything?" Qianban came to ask me, at least the level is equivalent, I am not a criminal, so naturally you don't have an official document, and you can't be tortured or ruthless...... It's just that you're a court secretary here, is it because the clothes from the Tingwei Mansion are not easy to get? ”

He Kui's face changed drastically.

The corners of Meng Changan's mouth hooked slightly: "Come from Dongjiang." ”

He Kui was silent, and suddenly laughed: "Sure enough, it's a masterpiece...... I thought that pretending to be someone from the Tingweifu would give you some oppression, it would make you uncomfortable, and there would always be flaws when people were uncomfortable, and the general also asked me to find out the matter before I went back, and this Tingweifu clothes could give me some convenience, I really wanted to ask what the situation was at the time, you should pretend that you couldn't see through it, and you could take the opportunity to escape, and now it's broken directly, and there is no way out. ”

Meng Changan said: "Did you inquire about me before you came?" ”

"Do you need it?"

"If you've inquired, you'll know I'm never hiding."

He Kui laughed: "The young people nowadays are really arrogant, they don't even have the least awe, since you guessed that we were born as sword soldiers, you should be afraid." ”

Meng Changan didn't speak.

He Kui waved his hand outside, and the two people guarding the gate of the small courtyard immediately closed the courtyard door, and pinned the door with a horizontal stick, even if someone hit it outside, they couldn't open it, and after closing the door, these people took out the knife from under the black robe, and the courtyard suddenly became a little colder.

Meng Changan still sat so quietly, and his expression didn't even change.

"You'd better talk about it."

He Kui put the knife hidden under the black robe on the coffee table in front of him, and held the handle of the knife in his hand: "It's better to say it now, don't be offended, if you are beaten too hard for a while, we will force you to ask again, and you may not be able to speak very well, and I have to hear every word clearly and take it back, it's not good for you to speak clearly, this is a troublesome thing." ”

Meng Changan suddenly laughed: "It's really a troublesome thing. ”

He Kui frowned, Meng Changan in front of him was the strangest guy he had ever seen, it seemed that Meng Changan was really not afraid, and there was still a little disdain in the hooked smile on the corner of his mouth, which made He Kui annoyed, the swords of Dongjiang have never been despised by others, and those who have been despised have long since died.

"Forget it, let's ask again after calling."

He Kui ordered: "Do it, try not to slap your mouth, you have to keep it and let him explain clearly how the young general died." ”

"Okay."

It was not his subordinates who answered him, but Meng Changan.

[I'm really sorry that the second shift just came, I just arrived in Inner Mongolia and I don't know why I was a little uncomfortable, diarrhea, a little drowsy in a day's class, and I've been coding words since I came back, and then I revised and changed it to now. 】
