The song played by the woman is not only familiar to Li Hong, but even Di Renjie and others are full of familiarity with this tune.

But it's not that a few people met acquaintances or bosom friends, but the reason why these tunes made them so familiar was entirely because these tunes were all circulated from the palace, and they were all arranged by Yan Lingbin himself, and then circulated after being played in the palace, or they were taken out of the palace by Qin Chuchu, Huo Xiaoyu and others, so that these tunes began to spread in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.

Hearing the song and knowing the elegance, burning incense far from the red dust, the sound of the piano in the cabin flowed slowly, washing the silence in the room. Not far from the piano platform, the fragrance rises with a faint green smoke, the quaint smell lingers in the room, coupled with the sound of the piano like a mountain flowing water, and the sound of small splashes faintly coming in from the outside from time to time, as if people are in the empty mountain valley in the autumn rain.

After reading the information that Yao Chong sorted out for a few days and nights, in fact, Yao Chong gave him a copy of these materials as soon as possible, and now that he looks at it, Li Hong is just bored, with Di Renjie and the four symbolic reading.

"Childe, the behavior of those people today still seems to be quite abnormal, and none of them have come forward to refute the rumors, are they waiting for several others, and then join forces to refute the rumors? Just like this time, advance and retreat together? Wang Xiaojie couldn't bear it, and before Li Hong came in, he told Di Renjie and the others about the hidden worries in his heart.

"I'm afraid that they will be so united, we are just testing the reaction of these two families today, although it has achieved the effect we expected, but Lord Wang's worries ...... We can't help but be wary of it. Li Qiao thought about the reactions of the Cui and Zheng families, and said unconsciously.

"What do you mean?" Li Hong leaned back in his chair, and after listening to Wang Xiaojie's words, he looked at Yao Chong and asked.

"The lower officials think that they are not panicked or refute the rumors in this matter, they must have seen through our intentions, obviously knowing that this is the public opinion that the imperial court wants to deal with the officials who risk death and direct advice, but the lower officials think that since we are ready, there is no need to deliberately figure them out, after all, we have the upper hand now, and these people can more or less find some evidence of dereliction of duty or corruption from different aspects."

"The lower officials are not worried about this, what the lower officials are worried about is that once the imperial court is fully launched, some people will fish in troubled waters, so as to get through the confusion, after all, there are people involved from top to bottom, if tomorrow once the remarks against several other families are released, will it really prompt them to huddle together and unite against it?" Di Renjie was also a little dignified.

It's just that the five people, including Li Hong, even Hua Meng and Cheetah, who have been sitting at the door, especially Hua Meng, who has been occasionally looking at the woman playing the piano, have not noticed that the woman who played the piano suddenly became a little trembling after hearing Yao Chong call herself a lower official.

But Li Hong instinctively wanted to look back, because the sound of the piano became a little chaotic under the playing of the woman behind him not long after they started talking, although he still followed the music score and fingering, he could still hear that the sound of the piano was mixed with a little uneasiness and nervousness, more like a fledgling and uneasy woman performing for the first time.

He didn't have time to think about it, that trace of doubt just flashed through his mind, and his attention was instantly attracted by Di Renjie's words.

"How long do you think it will take to get from start to finish?" Li Hong's fingers gently tapped the armrest rhythmically with the sound of the piano, and he smiled at the four of them and asked.

"The ministers naturally want to end this matter as soon as possible, after all, the matter is big, and the impact on both the court and you is too great, if you don't solve it in time, ......."

"Zheng", the node of the piano behind him instantly broke away from the original score in Li Hong's mind, so before Di Renjie finished speaking, Li Hong suddenly turned his head to look at the woman playing the piano.

"Ah......h At the moment when Li Hong turned around, the woman who was playing the piano suddenly screamed, and her hands were stunned on the strings, her head down and trembling, not daring to look up at Li Hong.

Looking at the woman's situation, Li Hong also understood in his heart that this woman had been paying attention to their conversation from the beginning, and even had been paying attention to her every move, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to turn back so suddenly, and she would have been able to find out in an instant.

The woman felt the sword-like gaze on the top of her head, and even felt that her scalp was cracking to both sides under the gaze of those eyes, and the sudden huge pressure made her body, which was nervous at the beginning, become like she was going to spasm at this moment, and the whole person involuntarily stiffened and shook disobediently.

A pair of nervous and trembling jade hands were still gently resting on the strings, neither moving away, nor continuing to maintain this posture, stagnant in mid-air and trembling.

The woman didn't have the heart to listen to them, and a son-in-law was enough to show that the son-in-law who turned his back to him must be a big man who had been in a high position for a long time, otherwise, so many people in this room would not be able to listen to him as the youngest person.

And as soon as I entered the room, I could feel that everything in this room was going on around this noble son, although I had been keeping my head down since I entered the door, but I could still feel the pressure and a trace of inner timidity brought to her by that son.

"Who are you?" Li Hong asked.

"Concubine...... Concubine...... The concubine is the pianist of this family's painting boat, please forgive me. The woman lowered her head and trembled, put down her hands unconsciously, and sat behind the piano platform and said in a panic.

Li Hong glanced back at Hua Meng, who got up again and opened the hatch and walked out, then turned to the woman and said, "Are you panicking because you guessed our identity, or because of something else?" ”

The women in the land of fireworks, from small to third-rate and ninth-rate, to officials and nobles, and even princes and nobles, have the opportunity to come into contact, so they have developed a pair of poisonous eyes, and they are extremely accurate in seeing people.

The short words of Li Hong and others just now have already made this woman realize between the lines that the few people she serves today are afraid that the few people she serves today are the big officials who risked death to tell each other and talk about things in the days before the imperial court confrontation.

And although she doesn't care about the affairs of the court, but the matter of the past few days is too big, among the guests who come and go, at least nine out of ten groups of people will discuss this matter, nothing more than talking about their views on this matter, why this time His Majesty is afraid that he will lose face, and bow his head to the five surnames and seven hopes.

Or is it that the five surnames and seven hopes openly confronted His Majesty, risking his life to directly advise His Majesty to change his ways, for fear that it would provoke His Majesty's anger, so as to make up his mind to completely rectify the wealthy nobles headed by the five surnames and seven hopes, from now on, the wealthy nobles headed by the five surnames and seven wangs are afraid that their prestige and influence will be greatly reduced, and they will be completely suppressed by Your Majesty.

And today, the streets and alleys of Luoyang City are even more rumors against the Naboling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan, and even some people from other places have taken a blood letter to sue the Boling Cui clan and the Xingyang Zheng clan, although most people think that the two major families are openly confronting His Majesty and the imperial court during these days, so they have provoked a warning from the forces that were dissatisfied with them at the beginning.

Naturally, some people think that this is a gossip deliberately released by the imperial court in order to fight against the five surnames and seven hopes, and is used to maliciously slander the five surnames and seven hopes, hoping that they can accept it when they see it, and don't let the court and His Majesty be too embarrassed.

And the reason why she is so sensitive to this matter is because the Boling Cui clan once bullied her husband, and used Cui's strong network above the court to replace her husband with someone else during the imperial examination last year.

Moreover, Du, the second son of Cheng Du in Luoyang today, is greedy for her beauty, and even hinted to himself again and again that if he is willing to obey him, he can let his husband Guo Jingzhi be recommended by the five surnames and seven hopes, and he will not have to participate in the imperial examination again, let alone be replaced and abandoned by the imperial court again.

Luoyang Cheng Du's son Du and has always had a very good relationship with Boling Cui's eldest son in Luoyang, that is, Cui Xinggong's son Cui Hao, according to the results of Fujun's own secret investigation, Fujun was impersonated last year, and was replaced by Cui Hao's cousin Cui Zibai.

And the husband also came to the door to theorize, but in the end it was all in vain, and even several times was thrown out by Boling Cui's punch and kick at the door, and he also suggested that the husband report to the Luoyang Mansion, but after the case reached Luoyang Cheng's hands, the matter sank into the sea, and there was no more news.

And because they had come to Luoyang Cheng for help, the husband and wife also learned some rules of communication between noble and wealthy families, sold their belongings and bought two calligraphy and paintings as gifts, and the two calligraphy and paintings were collected, but there has been no whereabouts, and finally accidentally provoked Du He, the second son of Luoyang Cheng, which caused the neighbors to be harassed by Du He and Cui Hao from time to time.

Fujun has always wanted to gain fame, although he has been depressed for a while since he was replaced last year, but under his own persuasion and comfort, Fujun finally regained his confidence and planned to participate in the imperial examination again this year.

But because the family gave a gift to Luoyang Cheng last time, and has been sold by the husband and wife to sell all the valuable things, now the small couple with four walls of the family, want to maintain the daily use of this family, but also let the husband put aside his worries, concentrate on this year's imperial examination, in desperation, Lin Cui had to rely on his piano skills, on the Luoyang River painting boat to do the life of a pianist who does not sell his art.
