The two of them entered the official office of the Guangdong Provincial Political Division, and except for the political envoy of the Guangdong Provincial Political Division, these high-ranking officials have not yet decided on the candidates, and the official office has resumed normal operation.

The political envoy of Guangdong's political secretary, Fang Yuan already had a candidate, that is, Lu Ziyue, who is now the governor of the six provinces in southern Zhejiang. Lu Ziyue still had to hand over the work in southern Zhejiang before he could come to take office, and this time he did not come with Fang Yuan.

Qin Zhan had already arranged for the newly appointed officials in the official office to gather in the lobby to welcome Fang Yuan's inspection. Everyone saluted Fang Yuan in unison, and Fang Yuan ordered them to go and go their separate ways, leaving only Qin Zhan alone to accompany them.

The three of them walked out of the lobby of the official office and walked towards the backyard of the official office.

Fang Yuan didn't ask about Qian Qianyi again, Qin Zhan could only continue to explain, "Boss, when I attacked Guangzhou City, the old thief took advantage of the chaos and didn't know where to flee. Later, he interrogated Gu Yuanjing's gang, they even paid all the money, but they still couldn't tell the whereabouts of the old thief, it seems that they really don't know. ”

Fang Yuan listened to Qin Zhan's explanation, sighed lightly, and walked to the backyard of the official office noncommittally.

The yamen of the Ming Dynasty, after the official hall, was the residence of the officials of the political envoy, the prefect, and the prefect. Therefore, meeting these officials and entrusting them to do things is also called going through the back door, which is the origin of the saying "going through the back door".

Qin Zhan didn't know his joy and anger, and tentatively began to shirk responsibility, "Perhaps, the old thief Qian has already left Guangdong after learning his previous behavior!" ”

"This Qian Qianyi has really become a money run!"

The corners of Fang Yuan's mouth smiled slightly, and he sneered at himself, and led Qin Zhan and Hu Qi to the big courtyard where Gu Yuanjing lived before.

This large courtyard is simply furnished, there are more than a dozen rooms, Gu Yuanjing's daily life is also incorruptible, if it weren't for the Jinyi Wei who tortured a full 800,000 taels of silver from him, he would really be mistaken for Hai Rui's incarnation.

Gu Yuanjing was beheaded, which is considered a murderous death according to customs. The dormitory where the murderous person once lived was the murderous house, which was quite unlucky, and it was usually necessary to invite a monk to come to the dojo to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters before continuing to use it.

Qin Zhan didn't know what Fang Yuan was doing when he suddenly came here, and asked in surprise, "Boss, Gu Yuanjing's courtyard hasn't been cleaned up yet, and he hasn't invited a Zen master to do the dojo to exorcise evil spirits, and if he goes in at this moment, he will be contaminated with bad luck!" ”

Fang Yuan was an atheist, he didn't believe in feudal superstition at all, and entered Gu Yuanjing's bedroom with his hands behind his back, and Qin Zhan had no choice but to follow in.

Fang Yuan walked around the dormitory, there were only some simple household items in the dormitory, and suddenly turned his head sideways to Qin Zhan and said, "Fourth, Qian Qianyi is one of the bargaining chips for Gu Yuanjing to trade with us, how could Gu Yuanjing's gang let Qian Qianyi leave?" When Guangzhou City fell and Gu Yuanjing and the others fled, the sea route had been completely blocked by our army, where could Qian Qianyi escape from Guangdong? ”

Qin Zhan thought for a while, it was indeed impossible to leave by sea, so he said, "Boss, what if the old thief leaves by land?" ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Fourth, with my understanding of Qian Qianyi, this person is ambitious and talented, and he is greedy for pleasure. In the chaos of the war, borrowing money to benefit a brave man, he did not dare to cross the mountains and mountains from the land to the north to Jiangxi, or east to Fujian. If he wants to go, he must take the sea route. ”

Qin Zhan suddenly said, "Boss, do you mean that Qian Qianyi is still in Guangdong?!" ”

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Yes, it must be someone in Guangdong who is hiding Qian Qianyi." As long as the military control of the sea route is not lifted for a day, Qian Qianyi will not leave Guangdong. As soon as the military control is lifted, he will try to escape. ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly said, "Boss, then we will pretend to cancel the military control, and then arrange for the eyeliner to spy on and lead the old thief into the net." ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the ground head snake, no matter how the Xuanjia army is a newcomer, how can it play those local land head snakes in terms of the means of yang and yin violation?" Once the military control is released and free passage is restored, the old thief may evade our interrogation at any time and leave calmly, and the military control cannot be lifted. ”

Qin Zhan said angrily, "Who dares to hide Qian Qianyi at this time, if I want to catch it, I will immediately cut down his entire family." Boss, should we raise the bounty again? ”

Fang Yuan still shook his head and said, "If you dare to hide Qian Qianyi at this critical moment of life and death, that is to use the lives of the whole family to protect Qian Qianyi." This kind of person doesn't even care about the lives of his family, let alone some bounties? ”

What he said is also reasonable, if anyone reported it, they would have reported it a long time ago. If there is really a local snake hiding Qian Qianyi, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, Qin Zhan said in embarrassment, "Boss, where should we start?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled mysteriously, and then ordered him to take him to Gu Yuanjing's study.

This study is more spacious than the dormitory, and the huge table is neatly arranged with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Fang Yuan picked up the ink inkstone and saw that it was an authentic inkstone brush and a high-grade Jingxian Xuan pen. When you look at these lines, you will know that they are treasures. And the bookcases in the room are densely stacked with many ancient books, it seems that Gu Yuanjing is really an elegant person.

Fang Yuan walked around Gu Yuanjing's study, stopped in front of the large bookcase against the wall, and suddenly asked, "This Gu Yuanjing also admires Qian Qianyi's reputation?" ”

Qin Zhan said truthfully, "Yes, this old thief is the poetry master of Jiangnan, and that bullshit Yushan poetry school is also a wide collector, and he has many followers of vassal elegance. Gu Yuanjing was one of them, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to take the risk of offending us to take Qian Qianyi in before. ”

It seems that the popularity of the old thief is really extensive, and there are friends who meet friends with poetry everywhere. Fang Yuan nodded, pointed to the large pile of ancient books on the bookcase and said, "Old Hu, send Jinyiwei to find a few literati to check if there are any books related to Qian Qianyi." ”

Hu Qi immediately obeyed the order, sent Jin Yiwei to find a minor official in the political envoy's office, and took Jin Yiwei to rummage through the bookcase for ancient books, and the target was a collection of poems related to Qian Qianyi.

Qin Zhan didn't know what his intention was to ask people to rummage through Qian Qianyi's poetry collection, so he hurriedly asked, "Boss, who are you?" ”

Fang Yuan smiled noncommittally, "I'm looking for clues about the old thief's hiding place. ”

Qin Zhan didn't know what the connection between Qian Qianyi's poetry collection and the hiding place was, but since Fang Yuan wanted to toss, he could only accompany him to toss.

Xiaoguan and Jinyiwei rummaged through this pile of ancient books for half an hour, and finally found a collection of Qian Qianyi's poems in the thousands of ancient books, and the first to fifth volumes of Mu Zhai's beginner's collection.

Hu Qi hurriedly handed over this collection of Qian Qianyi's poems to Fang Yuan's hands, and Fang Yuan took it, sat at the desk, and patiently flipped through these poetry collections one by one.

He wanted to read Qian Qianyi's poetry collection, and Qin Zhan and Hu Qi could only accompany him honestly.

Fang Yuan flipped through hundreds of pages of poems, but he couldn't stop sneering in his heart.

Qian Qianyi, an old thief, has written such a large number of poems, and there are thousands of them at a rough glance, but none of them can be handed down and become popular. All together, it is neither as good as Li Bai's song Jiangjin Wine, nor as good as Su Dongpo's Jiang Chengzi.

The founder of the so-called Yushan Poetry School, the poet of Jiangnan, if placed in the Tang and Song dynasties, is actually a literati who does not enter the stream. There are really no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the kings. A group of Jiangnan people tout each other, this is a master, and that is a master. In fact, just like Qianlong, he creates a bunch of text garbage every day, and likes to compile a book and sell it around.

When Fang Yuan flipped to one of the poems, his face suddenly appeared happy, and he blurted out, "That's right! That's it! ”

Qin Zhan and Hu Qi hurriedly stepped forward to see what clues he had found about Qian Qianyi's hiding place in this poetry collection.
