Wei Qing gradually woke up from his daze, the light was a little dim, his eyes felt blurry, and he couldn't see his surroundings clearly. He shook his head vigorously to sober himself up.

It was a cell with locks, wooden fences, and all kinds of torture equipment. But it is clear that this is not a government cell, but more like some private prison place for the powerful families.

Wei Qing felt terrible pain all over his body, thirsty and uncomfortable, he wanted to drink saliva, but when he looked up and saw the two guys in charge of guarding the door not far away, he bit his lip, swallowed hard a mouthful of saliva, and closed his mouth again.

He knew that those people would not give themselves water to drink, and that any request would be self-inflicted without getting the confession they wanted.

Moved his numb arm slightly, and the wooden pillar behind him made a slight noise as the rope tied to it made a slight noise. The two big men looked back at this side, and when they saw that there was nothing unusual, they scolded and continued to drink.

Wei Qing knew that there was no possibility of escape. He slowly remembered that from the time he was brought here blindfolded, he knew that he was caught in a huge conspiracy.

The black cloth was removed from his eyes and he was tied to the wooden pillars of the cell. Sure enough, these people in front of them were not soldiers patrolling the guards, but were replaced by a few unscrupulous men.

A smiling Humpty Dumpty man walked up to him and asked him a few questions, from the moment the fat man spoke, he knew that his previous guess was not wrong, these people knew their identity from the beginning, and they arrested him here for some reason, and their real purpose was not to themselves, but to point to Jianzhang Palace!

Wei Qing is a smart person, although he doesn't know who instigated these people, he knows that no matter what he says, he may be caught. Therefore, no matter what he asked, he did not say a word.

The other party changed his tone and asked for a long time, seeing that he had always closed his eyes and was silent, he finally became angry, and several big men came up to torture him, Wei Qing gritted his teeth and made up his mind not to say a word.

The human spirit can endure, but the body cannot bear it after all, and then he faints, and he knows nothing.

At this time, when I thought about it, I remembered in a trance that it seemed that the fat man had searched out some things from himself and taken them, including the agreement that Yuan Zhao handed over to him. Thinking of this, he became a little anxious, wondering if that thing would be used by them to make a fuss? It's just that he doesn't have any way to think about it now, spit out the blood foam in his mouth, and he can't help but be secretly anxious.

This is a courtyard at the west end of Xiaodong Lane, which does not look different from the outside, but there is something else to enter it. Several rows of houses, the wide backyard is more like a martial arts arena, some weapons such as swords and other weapons are placed in a mess, and some fierce figures can be seen coming and going from time to time, needless to say, the bright posts and secret posts on the side of the courtyard wall around them.

Butler Ping wiped his hands and walked into the hall, looking at the four or five people inside.

"Fuck! I didn't expect that guy to have a hard mouth, and he couldn't ask anything useful. "On weekdays, the third master of Ping, who always pretends to be kind, rarely said cruel words.

Although it is not in line with the rules of the court, there is no law strictly prohibiting it, but it is only limited in number, and it does not actually have any effect.

Now everyone in this courtyard is part of the secret power of the eldest princess's mansion, and there are several similar strongholds.

Although Steward Ping is called Ping San by the eldest princess, no one knows his real name, and his temperament is not as "flat" as his appearance at all!

Therefore, when they saw him come in, the people inside hurriedly stood up and bowed down to greet him, and only after he nodded and sat down did they each return to their places.

Steward Ping took a sip of water and calmed down the annoyance in his heart. "Those brothers who patrol the guards have been arranged? Don't let them pick on them. ”

"Third master, please rest assured! After a good meal of wine and meat, they all rested in the room over there. Captain Xi told us to act allegedly, and he was in charge if something happened!" Someone below hurriedly answered him.

"Okay, I'll go and give each of them two taels of silver later. That guy's mouth is too hard, and it's going to take some work. In case of...... He can't stand it anymore, so let the brothers who patrol the guards find an excuse to prevaricate. ”

Someone promised to come down, saying that he remembered it and would do it in a while.

Steward Ping frowned again, it's okay for his gang to let them fight and kill, but they really don't have that material to help themselves come up with ideas.

He thought about it, put the things he had searched from Wei Qing on the case, and looked at them carefully one by one. Nothing else was of value, and one of the folded cloths covered in dense writing caught his eye.

After reading it for a long time, he couldn't understand the rules and regulations on it. The general meaning seems to be something like buying and selling things, and there is nothing special about it, but this person has always been suspicious by nature, and I can't help but wonder if there are some ulterior secrets hidden under these ordinary provisions? Thinking of this, he nodded to the two of them, and told them to go to the teahouse mentioned above to have a look, and if there was anything strange, they would come back immediately and report it.

A little later, Bu Yiyan returned to Fanxue Tower and told Yuan Zhao the news that the big man surnamed Wei, who had been coming often a few days ago, had been arrested by the guards on the street, and the crime seemed to be murder on the street.

At this time, Yuan Zhao was directing several children to divide the tea leaves with those tea cones made of thick bamboo tubes after drying according to his method. After listening to this, he was stunned for a moment, put down the work in his hand, briefly explained a few words, let Su Lingzhi take a good look, and then followed Bu Yiyan out of the warehouse and into the courtyard.

"Can Mr. Buyi see clearly? Are you sure it's the one who comes to the House regularly? ”

"Definitely! That person is very popular, and his background is very high. I've seen it a few times, and I remember it clearly. ”

Yuan Zhao heard his tone was different, and looked up at him. But seeing a smug smile on the corner of Bu Yiyan's mouth.

"Brother Yuan, don't look at me like this, don't look at my cloth clothes and lack of success now, but there are some things that have long been insightful. Hehe! ”

"Oh, what does Mr. Buyi mean by that? The kid doesn't quite understand. Yuan Zhao deliberately pretended to be a little confused.

Bu Yiyan tapped him with his finger, signaling that he was slippery.

"It's weird! I want to come and travel all over the world, north to Yanzhao, south to southern Fujian, east to Jieshi, west to Yumen Pass, can also be called a reading of countless people. But...... Alas! ”

Yuan Zhao cooperated with a look of admiration.

Seeing his strange appearance, Bu Yiyan couldn't smile bitterly. continued: "Listen to people's words and observe people's actions, and you can know the nature of people! The so-called observation of words and colors is also. I have never made a mistake in looking at people, but for you, I have to admit that I have lost my eyes!"

Speaking of this, Bu Yiyan stared at Yuan Zhao's eyes, extremely serious. Yuan Zhao was still silent, just put away the look of sorrow and listened to him.

"Well, that's good! You're finally starting to listen to me. Bu Yiyan nodded with satisfaction.

"I can't guess what you've been through, your age...... It is deceptive. I've sat by you for a long time, and noticed some subtle details that others won't notice, such as the occasional flash in your eye, which should be called a sharp edge, right? This kind of thing was seen in the eyes of my mentor Jia Yi a long time ago, but his should be called the light of wisdom. It shouldn't be, how old are you? So, I feel more and more that you must have a secret that is different from ordinary people!"

Bu Yiyan said in a firm tone.

Yuan Zhao was also a little surprised, he couldn't see that this down-and-out old scholar was not simple, not only did he write well, but he was also a person with a wise mind, and it seemed that he could continue to squeeze his surplus value in the future.

"Well, Mr. Buyi, it's not a secret, the kid's experience is rather peculiar, and no one will believe it if he says it, so it's better not to say it."

"What can't be said then! As long as it is true, there will be people who believe it. Oh? Could it be that you have met an immortal at a young age?" Bu Yiyan asked in a mocking tone.

"Who knows! There was once an old Taoist who took me to many places, met a lot of strange people, and saw countless rare objects, but I don't know if I have met immortals!" Yuan Zhao's face was serious, and he smiled in his stomach.

Hearing a "chirp" in his ears, Bu Yiyan almost stared out his eyes and fell to the ground.

"You, you, what you said is true? I guessed you must have had an adventure at a young age! Otherwise, how to explain it will understand so much...... And so it was! Is...... Aha!"

Bu Yiyan's tone was excited, and he knew that this was the case.

Yuan Zhao was not ashamed of his opening up at all, and continued to fool: "It's just that the kid was young at that time, and he can't remember too many things clearly. However, there are many things to remember, if Mr. Buyi is interested, you may wish to stay in Fanxue Building in the future, and we will slowly ask each other for advice ....... ”

When Bu Yiyan heard him say this, he was very excited, and grabbed Yuan Zhao's hand: "Okay! That's great! That's the way of the gods! You baby has such an opportunity, if you can teach one or two, Bu Yiyan will be grateful for the rest of his life!" After speaking, he bowed to the ground to express his sincere gratitude.

Yuan Zhao was secretly amused in his heart, and hurriedly said that he didn't dare to accept this gift! These ancients are really still the most superstitious about these, but they are not lying to him, and knowing the things of the millennium can also be regarded as a fairy method! Hehe. What's more, he didn't have any ill will towards this old scholar, he just saw that he had some real skills, and wanted him to stay in Fanxue Building to help, so he just used a little trick.

But seeing that the old scholar named Bu Yiyan straightened up, sorted out some old robes, and looked serious.

"Since Brother Yuan is so honest with each other at a young age, there is no need for a certain family to hide themselves. Although you and I are very far apart, we can also be friends who forget the year. Although a certain family is still in its forties and has not done anything big, but looking at this big Han world, there is no one who really makes Yan look at it!" Speaking of this, Yuan Zhao was surprised to find that the old scholar's eyes suddenly released a momentum that looked at everything.

"Over the years, a certain family has not dared to forget the legacy of his teacher, his worries about the world, if there is a chance, Yan will definitely help him complete the ......! Of course, this is far away, and now that you have told me the truth, a certain family will no longer hide their real names and surnames for fear of shame. Bu Yiyan is just a false name, Brother Yuan, the main father Yan is the real name of a certain family! I haven't told you before, I hope you will forgive me!"

The master father said his real name and surname as if he had regained some kind of confidence, his eyes were bright and full of wisdom, and he didn't notice that the eyes of the people around him were wide in shock because of the name, and he still said to himself.

"Brother Yuan, since you and I have forgotten the New Year, there are some things that Yan will say directly! If you don't prepare early today, Fan Xue Lou is about to come to a catastrophe!"
