"Is there anything wrong with me?" Xu Gu strode into the study and said with a smile. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Yes, there are some things I need your help with." Gu Yan frowned and said, handed over a letter in his hand, and said, "This is a letter sent by someone from Kaifeng Mansion." It is still suspicious to say that it is a provincial test, but the person confessed and took all the blame, and it is not good to continue to investigate......"

"So you want me to ......" Xu Gu glanced at the content, "...... Chenzhou? ”

"Hmm." Gu Yan nodded, "Chen Zhou is not too far from here, but in the past two days, I have to go to the Secret Pavilion...... Alas, I shouldn't have been so anxious originally, but I always felt that this incident was inseparable from the murder case encountered in Changzhou. When I think of the scene at that time, I still feel a little chilly, so I can only ask you to run for a trip. ”

"It's just a trifle." Xu Gu said casually, "You also mentioned the murder to me, but I want to ask...... If the two things are really related, why did those people chase them from Changzhou to Kaifeng? ”

Gu Yan was taken aback, glanced at Xu Gu, and saw that Xu Gu was still careless, as if he didn't care what the answer was, whether Gu Yan answered or not. Gu Yan pondered slightly, but still made up his mind and said, "Well, I found this in the flower pot in that meditation room that time. After speaking, he took out the small key from the small bag hanging from his waist and handed it over, "This is it." ”

Xu Gu's appearance was still quite sudden in Gu Yan's eyes, to be honest, Gu Yan was still a little wary and hesitant in his heart, but after getting along for all these days, Gu Yan slowly decided that this person was credible. Even if this person had other plans, based on the time he appeared, Gu Yan also knew that Xu Gu should not be with that group of killers. What's more, according to Gu Yan's observation, although Xu Gu has some habits in the rivers and lakes, he is not a reckless person who disagrees, draws his sword against each other, and does not put human life in his eyes. And although this person is always smiling and looks very free and hearty, his mind is actually a little more detailed than his own. As for the key, he must have had some guesses in his heart. This time he asked a direct question, if Gu Yan continued to avoid talking about it, there would definitely be a deep estrangement between the two, which Gu Yan didn't want to see.

Xu Gu took the key and smiled as if he didn't care: "You wear it by your side every day." After playing with it for a while, he returned it to Gu Yan, "There are many secrets hidden in such a thing as a key." If it's really this thing's fault, you'd better put it away. ”

Gu Yan stuffed it back into his bag and replied with a smile: "The most dangerous place is the safest place." ”

"That's a wonderful thing to say." Xu Gu smiled, "Leave this matter to me, you can go and read your books with peace of mind." After saying that, he waved his hand and walked straight out.

Looking at Xu Gu's back, Gu Yan felt a little mixed in his heart, what is the origin of this person, and what is it for? Although he has carried him for a ride...... said that he repaid his kindness, but it didn't stop there, Gu Yan was not such a gullible person, and Xu Wenjian didn't want to be willing to be subservient to others. If he seeks wealth, Xu Gu is much richer than his own family wealth, and if he seeks fame, Xu Gu's appearance is almost ruined, and it is extremely difficult to become an official. Gu Yan now finally understands why there are many people in the history books who defile their whole bodies, this kind of person who seems to have no desires and no weaknesses is too difficult to grasp, because you always don't know what they need. In all fairness, in addition to his appearance, Xu Gu is a person full of personality charm, and after getting along for a long time, he will be regarded as a friend consciously or unconsciously, but because of this scruple in his heart, Gu Yan is really difficult to fully understand.

==================================================================================================================================================================================================================

Not to mention Xu Gu's itinerary in Chenzhou, Gu Yan, who stayed in Bianjing, has really stepped into officialdom since the third generation. Because Gu Yan is a flower explorer in this session, and he is famous, and the school book of the Secret Pavilion has no oil and water, and second, there is no real power, and the atmosphere of fighting for power and profit is relatively light, Gu Yan is a kind face with a smile first, and his position can be said to be calm and waveless.

"Yuzhi, that one is Yang Xiaoshu, and that one is Fang Xiaoshu." Gu Yan listened to the introduction with a gentle smile on his face. This kind of thing is actually quite boring, and most of the people who do school books are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, and most of them are from the Ming Classics. Gu Yan felt a little out of place in it.

Gu Yan glanced around, everyone who met his eyes, Gu Yan smiled and nodded, this polite gesture obviously made these 'colleagues' have a better impression of him. They all smiled back.

Gu Yan suddenly saw that there was a person sitting behind a table full of books in the corner, Gu Yan thought about it carefully, but found that Wang Xiaoshu, who led the way, did not introduce this person, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "That is ......?"

"That one ......" Gu Yan found that this Wang Xiaoshu's face had become quite complicated, as if it was a mixture of envy and disdain. However, these expressions were only for a moment, "It's my negligence, that one Mo said that he was in Bianjing, and he was also quite famous in the eyes of Zai Fu and the official family, and it was normal for you to not know not long after you came to Bianjing." Speaking of him, he is an old qualification in the Secret Pavilion. ”

Seeing that Gu Yan was a little surprised, Wang Xiaoshu added: "Lin Xiaoshu Jingyou performed well in the boy's test, and the official family gave him the Jinshi background. Back then, the official family asked Lin Xiaoshu what reward he wanted, and Lin Xiaoshu personally asked for grace to come to the secret pavilion to study. ”

Gu Yan was taken aback, the children's examination mentioned by Wang Xiaoshu was not equivalent to the imperial examination like the state examination, but the examination for prodigies from all over the world to go to Beijing to take the exam, so didn't this Lin Xiaoshu stay in the secret pavilion for nearly twenty years? But isn't there still a grinding survey according to the system?

Wang Xiaoshu seemed to see his doubts, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "Lin Xiaoshu came to the Secret Pavilion for only a few years, and the Secret Pavilion went out of the water and lost several ancient books...... And the official family went with him. As he spoke, the Wang Xiaoshu sighed regretfully. The books in this secret pavilion are almost all read by him, and if he just came here, if he doesn't understand anything, he can ask Lin Xiaoshu, but this Lin Xiaoshu's temper is not very good. ”

This man...... It's quite interesting.

As if sensing Gu Yan's gaze, the person behind the pile of books raised his head, glanced at Gu Yan, and quickly lowered his face, his face expressionless, as if he had nothing to do with this world except for books.
