It wasn't until Shen Gui walked out of the Xuanwu Gate that he looked at the imperial folding fan in his hand, and he still didn't come back to his senses.

From his heart, of course, he doesn't want to investigate any 'missing human cases'; but don't look at the old man Zhou Yuanqing, who has a very kind and intimate attitude towards him, but if he really treats himself as a nephew, why would he mention the scandal between himself and Yan Shuqing first, and then talk about this public case? This is clearly to remind yourself in secret: Although the matter of the two norths and relatives can be stopped, the attached condition is: you Shen Gui has to help me investigate this thorny case thoroughly!

It is okay to say that it is coercion, and it is okay to say that it is a transaction; All in all, this is a troublesome thing that he Shen Gui must fight hard.

And the reason why Shen Gui sent to Beiyan, in addition to the fact that he couldn't help Yan Shuqing's 'splashing and rolling', there was a more important reason: the hometown of Youbei Third Road had no place for him Shen Gui!

Of course, this is not because Shen Gui is really a master of high merit, or Yan Qinghong wants to settle accounts after the autumn; But if Shen Gui has been running around, there will definitely be no problem with the three roads in Youbei; But once he returns to settle in Youbei, then many troubles will follow immediately!

First of all, the original operation system of Youbei Third Road is actually not too bad. Although Yan, Li, and Guo each have their own careful thoughts, they always can't go together; But it is precisely in such a situation of mutual help and mutual restraint that the situation in Youbei has reached a delicate balance point; However, Shen Gui's birth, as well as Yan Tian and Lu Xiangyin's 'great strides', gradually broke that 'delicate' balance point.

The opposite of the so-called crisis is a turning point, and Yan Qinghong, who is not loved by his grandmother and uncle, also took advantage of this rare turning point to be able to sit on the dragon chair in one fell swoop and reign on Youbei Third Road.

When Youbei Sanlu ushered in his new king, the intricate forces on the original Qinzheng Palace also opened a new chapter.

On the surface, except that the heir of the Guo family has changed his surname, there seems to be no difference from the previous Youbei Third Road: for example, the Li family, the granary of Youbei, is still in Li Zilin's hands; And the person who mastered Zhongshan Road was also a veteran retainer of the Guo family, Fu Yi, the eldest son of the Fu family; Although the post of prime minister was changed to Wan Changning's lameness, he was also Li Deng's favorite student; Except for the crown prince Yan Yan, who was imprisoned in the Yongling Hall for eternity, and the empress dowager Li Lian, who has been buried in the ancestral tomb of the Li family, it seems that everyone has been busy for a long time, but they have returned to the final starting point......

However, in the eyes of some people, the Youbei Third Road at this time has completely changed into a different appearance.

First of all, Li Zilin, the current governor of Dongyou Road, is now directly responsible to Dongnuan Pavilion; And Fu Yi and his Zhongshan Road Governor's Army are the same; Although it may not seem to be much different from when Lee Deng was in power; But once these two meritorious ministers stepped down, the successor governors of the two roads would naturally be appointed by the imperial court! The reason for all these changes is also very simple: Wan Changning, the current prime minister of Youbei, is not surnamed Li.

And the reason why Shen Gui made such an arrangement and the reason why Yan Qinghong accepted his suggestion was also for the smooth transition of Youbei Third Road. The former Youbei, though nominally an independent dynasty; But in reality it is just a 'union of three tribes'. It is conceivable that when this group of 'meritorious ministers' return to their hometowns, Youbei Third Road will completely usher in a golden age of highly concentrated imperial power.

Only when power is concentrated enough can the development speed of all parts of Youbei be greatly improved. Even this change has some negative effects; However, it is indeed a very necessary process for Youbei Sanlu, which is about to enter a period of peace and is preparing to develop its economy rapidly.

It is precisely because of this kind of gentle means like 'spring breeze and rain' that Shen Gui finally walked into a 'dead end' of homelessness.

Because the Zhongshan Road was his grandfather's ancestral business; and the eldest lady of Dongyou Road is his future princess; Moreover, the scholars and scholars from all over Youbei Third Road, because they witnessed the bloody battle on Nanmen Street, Dean Ni risked his life to save Shen Gui, so naturally he was the only one to look ahead; In such an 'embarrassing' situation, how could he dare to continue to stay in his homeland?

Shen Gui didn't want to be Dolgon, nor did he want to be Zhao Guangyi, and he didn't want to see a 'Chenqiao Mutiny', staged again on Youbei Third Road, which had just given a chance to breathe.

But coincidentally, now this kind of wandering in the rivers and lakes and wandering for the rest of his life is simply a beautiful thing that Shen Gui can't ask for!

But he also didn't expect that the first stop of his career would encounter this trouble!

Shen Gui, who returned to the Nankang Hall, played with the 'imperial fan' in his hand while listening to Qi Yan's 'report on the progress of the work' of 'liver is very healthy':

"I have been to the Yanjing Mansion just now, but I have not found any files related to the murder of the 'Renhe Pawnshop'. However, under the pillow in the inner room, I found a pawn ticket issued by Nancheng 'Fenghedang'......"

Saying this, Qi Yan took out a piece of white paper full of handwriting from his arms.

In fact, there is nothing special about that pawn ticket itself, it is just a pass official ticket issued by the Beiyan Yamen.

At this time, Qi Yan took out the blank paper, on which the following sentences were neatly written: Ticket holder: Luo Yao. Now the old thing - bald hair grinding face torn jacket, two pieces, out of the silver fifteen taels; It is said that the interest will be paid in three installments per month, and the expiration date will be in December. If you don't take it after expiration, it will be regarded as dead, and you will let this number be resold to others as profit. If there is an insect bite and rat wound on the day of redemption, it is all by the destiny of heaven. When the redemption is due, the vote is not recognized. In the fifty-eighth year of God's blessing, on the seventh day of the lunar month, Fenghe pawnshop.

The mother of this pawn ticket was naturally put back by Qi Yan; And this blank piece of paper is a transcription that he wrote down silently from memory after returning to the Nankang Hall. After Shen Gui finished reading it, he also nodded towards the thoughtful Qi Yan:

"Yes, it seems that your rivers and lakes have not been in vain in the past few years! To do things is to be more cautious than the small return to the wealth fan. So now the question is, where have you heard the name of the owner of this pawn ticket? ”

Qi Yan shook his head, pointed to the line of 'Ticket Bearer: Luo Yao', and said with a puzzled voice:

"I also have some eyes and ears in Yanjing City, but I have never heard of the name 'Luo Yao', but as far as I can see, even if this person is not a scholar, he must be from a scholarly family or an official family. Because such an elegant name is not something that ordinary people can come up with at all. ”

Qi Yan's statement is not unfounded. But at present, ordinary people in Huayu Continent adhere to a basic principle for the name of their children: it is easy to support with a cheap name.

For example, he and Qi Hui's fathers, the names of the two brothers are Qi Da Niu and Qi Erniu; And most of the children of ordinary people are in this unpretentious style: dogs, stones, two cows, three girls, and so on.

So from the name alone, Qi Yan has already helped Shen Gui delineate the scope of the identity of the owner of the pawn ticket - the reader; And when he said this, it also gave Shen Gui a more specific understanding of his ability to do things.

"That's a good point, but it's a little bit less interesting!"

"What does it seem to you?"

"Don't you know what the name of the prefect of Yanjing City is?"

"But who can not know anyone who has walked through the gates of the city and seen the official signs? The prefect of Yanjing City is also surnamed Luo, but he is not called Luo Yao, but Luo Yuan. Before I looked at the name, I also thought that it was the prefect's pawn ticket; But when I looked at the name later, I dispelled this idea. I wondered, the owner of this pawn ticket may belong to Lord Luo's family and nephew? ”

Shen Gui nodded, then dipped his hand in tea, and wrote a big 'Ya' word on the table:

"You are right, the owner of this pawn ticket is not only from a scholarly family, but also a well-educated Confucian! The word "bearer" can also be translated as "fake" in classical books, that is to say, the owner of this pawn ticket "Luo Yao", you can also be regarded as "Luo fake"; ”

"That's not right! You may have lived in Youbei Third Road for a long time, and you haven't figured out the doorway of the Northern Yan Dynasty! All pawn tickets issued by pawnshops, each one is an official ticket issued by the yamen! Write a fake name on the official ticket, according to the law of Northern Yan, but it will be issued to fill the army! If you look at it according to what you said: The person who pawned the leather jacket is Lord Luo Yuanluo, the prefect of Yanjing Mansion, then ...... That's a lot of fun! Do you want him to do it himself? ”

Shen Gui tapped the end of the manuscript with his hand:

"Since you have seen the mother book, you should naturally also see Feng Hedang's hand poke! Since people dare to issue an official ticket to Luo Zhifu, it proves that the other party also acquiesced to the pseudonym of 'Luo Yao'! You must know that no matter how poor he Luo Yuan is, he is also a fourth-grade official of the imperial court! In this cold and freezing wax moon, I was stunned to take the two leather jackets that were so valuable, which must have encountered some great difficulty! wanted to come to Fenghedang, but also to save Lord Luo's face, he voluntarily issued a pawn ticket under a pseudonym; Since both sides of the pawn are willing to do so, then who will compare the truth of this matter where the people don't raise officials and don't hold officials accountable? ”

Qi Yan also nodded again and again when he heard this, thinking that he recognized Shen Gui's statement; But as soon as he figured it out, he walked into another 'dead end':

"Even if this prefect really has a pawn ticket, what does this matter have to do with the murder of Renhe pawnshop?"

Shen Gui smiled and nodded at the pawn ticket transcript:

"As the so-called don't bother the two masters, that Fenghedang murder case, we have to start with this Luo Zhifu who can't afford to live!"
