Qiu Yi followed along the way, and said behind Wen Lingjiao: "I have heard it clearly in the prison, it seems that there may really be clues to the Tianzun Sect in the 'Dust Palace'." When tomorrow dawns, how about going to visit with Miss Wen in the future? ”

Wen Lingjiao nodded, agreed, and said, "Then there is Lao Gongzi." It's not early now, I'll wait and go back to rest first, and when the morning starts, the son will come and call me again. ”

Saying that, Wen Lingjiao squatted down, and under the guidance of He'er, she walked slowly to the inn where she was temporarily staying.

Qiu Yizhi saw them leave, and was just about to go back, but he heard Lin Shuhan beside him say, "My lord, what are your plans for this matter?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was puzzled: "What do you mean by 'what are your plans'?" Isn't the first thing to do now to find out the truth? ”

Uncle Lin said coldly: "Then what should you do after finding out the truth?" ”

"Is this...... It is nothing more than that after getting the culprit, he will be punished canonically. Whether this person is a true Tianzun disciple or not, preaching cult teachings, he will inevitably walk on the intersection of Sanshan Street. Qiu Yizhi replied.

But I heard Uncle Lin say faintly: "Have you ever thought that if this 'Dust Palace' is really a stronghold of the cult, and if the Taoist temples in Jiangnan have all been invaded by the cult, how will Lord Qiu deal with it?" ”

At this moment, the night is thick, and Qiu Yizhi is separated by layers of darkness, and he really can't see the expression on Lin Shuhan's face, but his heart is full of ups and downs: if it is true as Lin Shuhan said, then with the connection between Jiangnan officialdom and monks and temples in various places, it is difficult to guarantee that these officials have nothing to do with the Tianzun Sect! You must know that the previous handling of the case involved from Yin Chengliang's side has already caused hundreds of Jiangnan officials' official hats to fall to the ground, and if the Tianzun Sect is set off again, it will inevitably shake the world.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi's back couldn't help but chill for a while, and he said after a long time: "This time is different from the past, if there is any chaos in the Jiangnan officialdom, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of the Han Society." How to deal with this matter, please also ask Mr. Lin to teach me. ”

When Lin Shuhan heard this, he subconsciously looked around, and saw that he couldn't see clearly in the night whether someone else was eavesdropping, so he said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back first." ”

Qiu Yi returned to the study in the dark, lit two candles, and couldn't wait to ask Uncle Lin: "Mr. Lin is so confidential, I don't know what tricks to teach me?" ”

Lin Shuhan was not in a hurry, he poured himself a cup of cold water for himself, found a chair to sit down, and then said slowly: "Along the way, Lin Mou also thought a lot. Lord Ruoqiu is just an ordinary bureaucrat, no matter how big your official is, as my guest, I have only one idea: I don't know about this matter, open one eye, close one eye, and never interfere! ”

He looked at the suspicious expression on Qiu Yi's face, smiled smugly, and then said: "But adults are different, fortunately, he is the righteous son who is long live today, and he can reach the heavens by saying a word or writing a letter casually." Therefore—"

Lin Shuhan deliberately dragged out his voice: "Therefore, if you can catch the person behind this matter, Lord Qiu can neither dispose of it on the spot, nor can it be handed over to Wen Lingjiao to deal with, and must be immediately sent to the capital Luoyang Emperor." Don't ask a word about the facts of the case here! ”

Qiu Yizhi heard what Lin Shuhan said categorically, and said tentatively: "You can always ask the reason for this matter, right?" Hand it over to someone like this out of thin air, and the emperor asks it, and it's not good for me to ask three times and not know......"

"No!" Lin Shuhan said very firmly, "If adults can still trust Lin, don't say a word, don't ask a word." ”

Seeing that Qiu Yizhi still had an uncertain expression, he suddenly sighed and said, "My lord, I shouldn't have said much about the following words, but you and I are confidants, and some words are still not unhappy." ”

After that, Lin Shuhan involuntarily got up from his seat and walked around the study, before he said, "Before Lin speaks, I have to ask Lord Qiu a question. ”

Qiu Yizhi immediately nodded and said, "If there is anything, Mr. Lin just asks." ”

"May I ask my lord, my lord helped the emperor clean up the entire Jiangnan officialdom inside and out, so that the current saint, who was originally the king of Youyan, can finally control the world's financial and tax powerhouses. Such a big achievement, I don't know what the emperor rewarded the adult? Lin Shuhan asked.

Qiu Yizhi thought for a while: "It seems that I just wrote a letter to encourage a few words." In fact, I do things with a conscience, and I don't take it to heart if I don't reward it. ”

"My lord, a courtier, can have such thoughts, which can be described as sincere and faithful, and it is the blessing of the master." Lin Shuhan said, "But how much do you know about the Holy Emperor's Heart Technique?" ”

Lin Shuhan walked around the study for half a circle under the gaze of Qiu Yizhi's torch: "Take the emperor as an example, the emperor really doesn't want to reward the lord if he has made such a great contribution?" It's just that adults are indifferent to fame and fortune, so they can't award gold and silver, and they can't add officials to knighthood. What is the end of the meritorious hero's good will be when the master can't reward him, and the adults are full of poetry and books, I'm afraid I don't need to say it, and my heart is also clear. ”

Lin Shuhan's words made Qiu Yi shudder: "This ...... I'm afraid this is Mr. alarmist, right? Although the Holy One and I have no father-son status, we have a father-son relationship...... And the emperor is the most benevolent and righteous, and he can't do the kind of rabbit and dog cooking like the faint king of the previous dynasty......"

"Humph!" Uncle Lin laughed coldly, "My lord is a smart person, don't you hear that 'ruthlessness is the most emperor's family'?" You might as well think about it, if one of the three brothers of the Lord commits the great crime of rebellion, will the Holy One open the net and spare him? ”

Lin Shuhan didn't wait for Qiu Yizhi's answer, and then said: "What was the relationship between Zulong and Lu Xiang like glue back then? So much so that later historians often have the inference that Lu Xiang is Zulong's biological father. However, as soon as Lu Xianggong was high and the seal was unsealable, Zu Long did not hesitate to dismiss the official and investigate, although he did not take Lu Xiang's life, but only three years, Lu Xiang, who was calling for wind and rain, whined and mourned. Lord Qiu might as well think about it, how is the mind of the emperor today compared to the ancestral dragon? Is the relationship between Lord Qiu and the emperor really comparable to Lu Xiang back then? ”

(Zu Long – Qin Shi Huang; Lü Xiang - Lü Buwei. ）

Qiu Yizhi listened to Lin Shuhan's progressive reasoning, and indeed felt that it was not necessarily unreasonable, but he also had to argue two sentences: "Mr. Lin's words may not agree with him below." Although Zu Long is eloquent and strategic, he is suspicious by nature, and he is not as open-minded as the current emperor, and Mr. Lin can't be compared casually. ”

Lin Shuhan sneered again: "Even if the adults say this is true, it's good." To put it irreverently, after a hundred years of the emperor, I don't know which prince will succeed to the throne, and it is difficult to predict whether there will be the emperor's heart at that time......"

"Alright, alright!" Qiu Yizhi hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt Lin Shuhan's words, "We are talking about the handling of the Tianzun Sect case, why do we talk about the emperor and the prince coming?" Mr. Lin's hard work, I know it in my heart, and since I have hired Mr. as a teacher, I should obey my words. ”

Lin shouted and sighed: "If an adult can have these few words, it will not live up to my long words and say so many ......"

After that, the two discussed the matter in detail, and the two stayed awake all night, until the east was white, and then they slept with their clothes.

After not sleeping for much time, Qiu Yizhi got up again, looked at the sun outside the window, but it was the time of Chenpai, and remembered that he was going to leave Wen Lingjiao alone to go to the "Dust Palace" to handle the case today, so he quickly washed up and went out.

Qiu Yizhi thought that Lin Shuhan didn't sleep well like himself last night, so he didn't bother him, and only called Wei Chi Jiming to go to the hotel where Wen Lingjiao was staying.

Shanyin County is a small county town, and after walking a few steps, Qiu Yizhi saw Wen Lingjiao and He'er from a distance, each leading a horse and a donkey, and was preparing to leave at the door of the hotel.

Wen Lingjiao's ears and eyes were clear, and when she saw Qiu Yizhi coming here from a distance, she said loudly: "Lord Qiu got up so early, I was about to go to the county government to ask Gongzi to accompany me, but I didn't expect Gongzi to come first." ”

She turned her head to He'er again and said, "He'er, presumably Young Master Qiu and Miss Yuchi haven't eaten breakfast yet, so it's better to take a few of the pastries you prepared in advance to satisfy the two of them." ”

He'er agreed, then took out a bag of dim sum from his bag and handed it to Yu Chi Jiming respectfully.

Yu Chi Jiming really hadn't eaten breakfast, so he took the paper bag and opened it immediately, and saw that there were four neatly stacked pastries inside, so he took a piece and stuffed it in his mouth, and then handed the rest to Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yizhi was also a little hungry in his belly, so he picked up a piece and took a bite, and the smell of roses in the fluffy pastry suddenly spread in his mouth - although such a delicacy was not as good as Wu Ruofei, it was also refreshing.

So after Qiu Yizhi thanked him, he asked a few people to get on their horses and donkeys and go to the direction of the city gate.

Before they could go out, they heard a shout from behind them: "My lord, why don't you call me, I'm almost late." ”

Qiu Yizhi was busy on the horse and turned his head to look, it was Lin Shuhan chanting while walking briskly towards his side, with the fatigue unique to staying up all night on his face, and behind him was his confidant Wu Ruofei.

Qiu Yizhi originally didn't want to disturb them, but since they came, there was no reason not to take them with them, and remembered that Lin Shuhan was a scholar and Wu Ruofei was a weak woman, so he found an inn at the city gate, borrowed an ox cart, and walked in the direction of the "Dust Palace".

With the means of transportation, the group walked very briskly, but it took more than an hour to arrive at the door of the "Dust Palace".

Lin Shuhan looked around at the "Dust Palace", and couldn't help but praise: "Miaozhen, this demon way, although he has misbehaved, his vision is not bad. To be able to choose such a piece of feng shui treasure land to live in permanently, it can be regarded as a romantic gentleman. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at this Dao Palace, which is located at the foot of the green mountains and on the side of the green water, nodded and said: "Mr. Lin's words are not bad, when I first came here, I saw this beautiful scenery, and when the owner of this palace was an elegant person, I relaxed my vigilance and almost died." ”

As he spoke, he rolled down from the back of the sweaty BMW under his crotch, took out the key he had brought in advance, tore off the seal attached to the front of the palace door, opened the door lock again, and pushed it hard - the wooden door that had been sealed in the dust of the "Dust Palace" for several months suddenly opened with a "squeak".

Qiu Yizhi stepped inside, only to see that due to the lack of care, and when the grass and trees were growing wildly in the hot summer, the flowers and plants in the courtyard of the palace were already very lush, almost covering a winding path. The wisteria entwined in the original eye-catching gallery is even more obscure, but the flowering period has passed, and the wisteria flowers on the top have all withered, leaving only dark green leaves, and it looks a little gloomy when walking underneath.

When Qiu Yizhi saw such a dilapidated scene, his heart was also cold, and he sighed secretly, so he let the people behind him in, stretched out his hand and said, "Everyone, please come in." ”
