Zhang Mingyue said:

"As the servant of King De, it is his duty to participate in the nationality field together, and it is really unfair for Gonggong Long not to let Wei Hou participate in the nationality field."

After hearing this, Gonggong Long put a sneer on his lips and said:

"In that case, it's okay, punish the Marquis for a year as a warning."

Lan Ziyi could finally breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that the adults had finally agreed on the punishment for himself.

But as the tension subsided, an indescribable sense of shame gradually came to his heart, after today's round of siege on him, Lan Ziyi felt that this capital was far from what he imagined, it seemed that there were traps everywhere, there were man-eating monsters everywhere, and they would not give up if they did not tear Lan Ziyi apart. And today he was brought into the yamen of the criminal department, and now he has been convicted, and he feels that everyone is staring at him, just like when he was sitting on a chair and being besieged by the crowd around him.

Lan Ziyi felt that he was dizzy and nauseous, and he couldn't concentrate at all, and the words spoken by the people around him were as if they were noise.

Lan Ziyi just saw several fathers-in-law and adults getting up talking and laughing, and beckoned each other to go out, talking and laughing as if there was no quarrel just now.

Lan Ziyi just heard them say that they were going to Jiangnan Tower, and after that, he couldn't hear what they said clearly.

The words of these people, the appearance of these people, and the behavior of these people are like paintings that pause in front of them.

Lan Ziyi's mind was a mess, he couldn't understand why he was still energetic just now to listen to the discussion of several adults about him, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the situation word for word, and he knew in his heart what kind of impact each sentence would have on him, but when he knew that he was finally not in danger, his spirit collapsed, and he could no longer concentrate on dealing with what happened next.

Lan Ziyi sat in the hall for a long time, saying that the time was long because he didn't know how long it had been, but if he wanted to say how he felt, Lan Ziyi always felt that he was just staying there for a moment.

When Lan Ziyi finally came back to his senses completely, realizing where he was, what had happened, and what the situation was now, he was the only one left in the study in the back garden of the yamen of the Criminal Department.

Lan Ziyi felt that his body was sticky, and his clothes seemed to be adsorbed on his body, and there were water droplets sliding on his face from time to time.

Lan Ziyi felt as if he was seriously ill, just like he was sick in the old capital a few days ago, his whole body was sore and he had no strength.

Lan Ziyi said with great effort in a hoarse voice:

"Someone."

Fortunately, there was always a servant waiting outside the door,

The man came up and asked:

"What do you need, Weihou?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Give me some water."

The servant brought Lan Ziyi a new tea bowl and added water, Lan Ziyi drank three bowls in one go, and sweated again to relieve his strength.

After Lan Ziyi settled down, he asked the servant next to him:

"How many adults?"

The servant replied:

"It's all gone, let's go to Jiangnan Tower for lunch."

Lan Ziyi nodded after hearing this, and then asked:

"What about me?"

The servant replied:

"Wei Hou, you're fine, didn't you hear what Grandpa Long told you just now?"

Lan Ziyi then thought that when he was confused just now, Father-in-law Long seemed to have told him that "you can go".

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"How long have I been sitting here?"

The servant replied:

"Back to Weihou, you've been sitting for about half an hour since the adults left."

Lan Ziyi stood up, his body was weak and a little swaying, and the servants on the side came to help, but Lan Ziyi waved his hand and refused.

Lan Ziyi walked out of the door and took a deep breath, he felt as if he had gained a heart, and immediately lowered his head, because he suddenly remembered that he had just been interrogated, and he was convicted of a crime, and it was too embarrassing to be recognized.

Lan Ziyi did not ask a servant or a servant to show him the way, but walked out of the yamen of the Criminal Department with his own memory.

Lan Ziyi quietly walked out of the gate of the criminal department, feeling that he didn't know how many eyes were staring at his back and poking and poking along the way.

As soon as he left the gate, he heard a familiar voice shouting:

"Young Master! You're finally out! ”

Lan Ziyi was startled by this shout, and when he looked at the sound, he found that it was Tao Zhutu and his two elder brothers.

Lan Ziyi walked over and waved his hand to tell Tao Zhutu not to make a loud noise.

But the Tao brothers obviously didn't care about Lan Ziyi's gestures, they just surrounded Lan Ziyi while making loud noises,

Peach Rabbit said excitedly:

"Young Master! You're finally out! My eldest brother and second brother and I are in a hurry, and we almost plan to go into the yamen to pick you out. ”

Tao Zhuhu also said happily:

"Young master, we have been following the team escorting you, and we have been waiting at the door after you entered the yamen of the criminal department, just now I saw Grandpa Yu, Grandpa Long, and a few adults who went out with a few adults who wore the official mansion, Grandpa Long told us that you are still inside, but don't worry, it's okay."

Peach Rabbit said:

"Yes, we all know the young master, you're fine, these dog officials are just putting a trumped-up crime on your head, and now the trouble is just punishing you for a year, young master. What is a year's worth of money, young master, you don't live on those broken money anyway. If you want me to say let's go to the painting boat on the green river together, let's have fun and have fun, and go to the bad luck on our bodies. ”

Only Tao Zhulu found that Lan Ziyi's face was pale, his clothes were soaked, and he was in a trance. Asked:

"Young Master, are you okay?"

Lan Ziyi nodded and shook his head, but replied:

"Second brother, let's go home. Where's my palanquin? ”

At this time, Tao Zhutu on the side also saw that Lan Ziyi was not in the right state, and jokingly seemed to want to ease the atmosphere and said:

"Young master, it's so enjoyable to ride a horse, why do you want to sit in a sedan chair?"

Lan Ziyi was very angry when he heard Tao Zhutu say this, and said angrily:

"I'll never ride a horse again! Where's my palanquin? ”

Seeing that Lan Ziyi was angry again like yesterday, and his spirit was still very sluggish, he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Tao Zhuhu made a gesture, and four sedan chair men on the side walked over with a sedan chair.

Lan Ziyi didn't speak, just buried his head in it.

At this time, a small guy came running on the side, and he was going to run to the side of the sedan chair, but he was stopped by Tao Zhutu.

小厮 says:

"I am a servant of Zhang Zhongtang's family, and I have something to bring to Wei Hou."

After hearing this, Peach Rabbit scolded:

"It's my young master who was harmed by your family's Zhang Zhongtang, and he still has the face to come and talk? Get out of here! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the collar of the little girl's clothes and was about to throw it out,

The little guy was startled and closed his eyes and waited for him to be thrown out.

Lan Ziyi heard that it was Zhang Mingyue's doorman, and hurriedly opened the sedan chair curtain and said:

"The third brother must not be rude! My business has nothing to do with Zhang Zhongtang, let it go! ”

Peach Rabbit listened to the stupid letting go, and the little girl walked to the side of Lan Ziyi's sedan chair in a panic and said:

"Wei Hou, my lord asked me to pass the word, at the end of Shen Shi this evening, the Jiangnan Poetry Society has a poetry meeting in Shuanglong Mountain outside the city, and my lord recommends Wei Hou to go."

As he spoke, the little guy took out the post from his arms and handed it to Lan Ziyi.

Lan Ziyi was excited when he received the post, and he cried out as soon as his nose was sore, and said to the little guy:

"Okay, okay, go back and thank Master Zhang for me, if there is no Lord Zhang today, I really don't know what it would be like."

As he spoke, he took out a small ingot of silver from his bosom and gave it to the servant.

The little guy took the silver and thanked him and left.

Tao Zhutu looked at the fire in his eyes, and came to Lan Ziyi's sedan chair and asked:

"Young Master! This time, you are wronged by Zhang Mingyue behind your back, and the streets and alleys of the capital have spread! What more do you thank him for? ”

Lan Ziyi's heart tightened when he heard the words "the streets and alleys are spreading", and his body trembled again, and said:

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense, you weren't in there just now, if it weren't for Zhang Zhongtang, I don't know what would have happened."

Peach Rabbit frowned when he heard this, and said:

"Young Master! I don't know what spell that Zhang Mingyue used to fascinate you, how could you trust him so much. He is the first assistant university scholar of the Military Aircraft Department, if he didn't nod his head, how could the documents that took you be sent to the celebrant of ceremonies? Without his support in the back, how could there be such a big force in the court to deal with you, young master? ”

兰子义 says:

"Zhang Zhongtang, this is involuntarily."

Peach Rabbit To:

"Young master, no matter what Zhang Mingyue does, he is two-faced and three-stabbed......"

"Enough!" Lan Ziyi yelled, and then Lan Ziyi pulled down the curtain of the sedan chair and urged the sedan chair driver to get up quickly.

Peach Chase Rabbit sighed behind him, and Peach Chase Rabbit walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"The young master has been stimulated a lot today, don't say it anymore."

After that, the three brothers of the Tao family rode on horses and followed the sedan chair all the way back to the Dewang Mansion.

After returning to the palace, Lan Ziyi hurriedly took a bath, changed his clothes, and finally felt that his spirit had recovered after lying in the house for a while.

So Lan Ziyi called the Tao brothers to prepare to go out of the city to participate in the poetry meeting at the foot of Erlong Mountain.

Tao Zhulu suggested that Lan Ziyi have a good rest at home today, and wait until he recovers before going to the poetry club.

But Lan Ziyi insisted on going, because this kind of poetry meeting was a great opportunity to join the literati in the capital, and if he didn't go this time, he didn't know when he would have to wait until next time.

Tao Chalu couldn't resist Lan Ziyi, so the Tao brothers and Lan Ziyi went to Erlong Mountain together.

Because in the east of the city, Lan Ziyi rode away with the Tao brothers.

By the time the foot of Erlong Mountain has been unitary, the sun has hung on the tip of Erlong Mountain,

The afterglow of the sunset is accompanied by the fragrance of flowers, and the poetry and painting also make Lan Ziyi relax a lot.

asked the pedestrians on the road, Lan Ziyi and the four Taojia brothers followed the path to the door of a villa at the foot of the mountain.

Lan Ziyi handed over the post, and the doorman rushed to the villa, and after a while, a young man with a jade crown on his head and a gorgeous dress came out of the villa, this person was smiling, covered with some wine, and his actions and demeanors were somewhat imitating the meaning of the ancients' romantic charm in it, and after seeing Lan Ziyi, he said:

"Xiaosheng Cui Hao, I've seen Lord Weihou."
