After such twists and turns, a battle that did not see the smoke of gunpowder finally came to an end.

The days in June in the south of the Yangtze River are often extremely long, but at this moment they are also thin. Cui Nan was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, and he expected that the Jiangnan civil and military officials in the lobby were also as hungry as himself.

So he called the man who accompanied the army to cook, so he bought goats from the people around the county, and according to the method of the old Youyan army, he lit a bonfire and barbecued mutton in the open space in front of the county yatang. In a short time, a few of the slaughtered goats were roasted to a fragrant smell.

Cui Nan had no intention of embarrassing the civil and military officials in his heart, so he ordered someone to cut the cooked meat finely, put it on a plate and send it to the front of the hall.

These officials only drank some tea all afternoon, and they were already hungry, and when they saw the delicious food in front of them, they didn't care about any decency, and grabbed it with their hands and put it in their mouths.

After a full meal, drowsiness came back to my head.

Cui Nan saw their sleepy-eyed appearances, so he ordered the soldiers to choose slightly cleaner bedding and send it to the county office, and laid a bunk in front of the hall to let these officials sleep. He did not dare to slack off, and had a tent set up in the open space in front of the hall, in which he himself rested, in case the officials escaped by night.

The next day, Cui Nan continued to imprison Jiangnan officials in the lobby, but the food supply was readily available. He also used gold medal arrows to dismiss more than 10,000 Jiedu troops inside and outside the city. In the middle of the night, Cui Nan's thousands of troops transferred from the Quzhou camp also arrived at night.

At this point, Cui Nan felt relieved, and deployed the army in his hand overnight, took over the passes in Shanyin County, and ordered people to repair the city gates that were destroyed by the fire.

In this way, the entire county city wall is under Cui Nan's control. So he discussed with Qiu Yizhi a little, and then released the Jiangnan civil and military officials from the lobby, but they couldn't leave the county seat.

In this way, after five days in a row, news came from outside the city, saying that His Royal Highness the Great Prince Keri was coming to Jinling, and asked all the civil and military officials of Jiangnan Province to greet him, regardless of grade.

Qiu Yi waited for this news, and expected that it was too late for these officials to rush to Jinling, and they had no time to make waves again, so he asked Cui Nan to take care of these officials for one more day, and he called Yu Chi Jiming to take a sweaty BMW and a Bohai horse to rush to Jinling first.

When Qiu Yi arrived at Jinling City, His Royal Highness Zheng Xin had already arrived for two days.

Zheng Xin went south to Jinling this time, with a clear task, to take advantage of the "Thirteen Lives Strange Case" in Shanyin County to sweep the Jiangnan officialdom. Therefore, it was inconvenient for him to live in all places related to the government, such as the official yamen or the post station, so he sent someone to make a front stop and found a famous temple called "Qixia Temple" in Jinling City, and asked the abbot to temporarily dismiss the military attachés and monks, and then lived in.

Because of this, Qiu Yizhi wasted a lot of effort to find out where Zheng Xin was, and rushed to the "Qixia Temple" without stopping. Fortunately, the person in charge of Zheng Xin's defense and guard was Zheng Xin's old guard in Guangyang City, and he had also met Qiu Yizhi a few times. So Qiu Yizhi didn't spend much time and entered this Qixia Temple.

Zheng Xin really has a good vision, although the Qixia Temple where he stays is in the prosperous place of Jinling, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the Yangtze River in the north, and connected with the outside through a path that is not wide or narrow, and it is wonderful to be quiet in the middle of noisy; The cypress in the temple, the morning bell and the dusk drum can make people feel refreshed and happy.

Zheng Xin's residence is in an independent meditation room in the deepest part of the temple, and when he heard that Qiu Yi was coming, he greeted him, and opened his mouth and said: "Brother hasn't seen you for a few days, how do you look old...... The complexion is worse than when I was in the capital? ”

Qiu Yizhi saluted Zheng Xin and said: "Your Royal Highness has been tired, these days, my life is not easy!" ”

Zheng Xin was about to sell his favor in the city, so he smiled and said: "What highness, when there is no one in the future, you and I will still be commensurate with brothers." Are those officials in Gangnam Province angry with you? Tell the big brother that your own big brother is in charge for you! ”

Qiu Yizhi has been fighting viciously in the past few days, almost in danger, how can he not be touched in his heart when he hears Zheng Xin speak like this? His eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he said, "It's okay, it's okay." It's the matter handed over by the saint that can't be delayed the most, why don't you go into the house with me now to talk in detail? ”

Zheng Xin nodded, personally took Qiu Yizhi's hand, and walked into the temporarily arranged study.

The two brothers discussed it secretly for a while, and it was not until Kim Wuxi slanted that they were properly discussed.

Zheng Xin saw that the sun was not early, so he wanted to stay in the temple with Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yizhi said: "Although the eldest brother and I have a brotherhood, but in Jiangnan Province, the eldest brother is now the emperor's Qincha, and the younger brother is the county of Shanyin, and the monarchs and ministers here cannot be transgressed." If you stay here, I am afraid it will be inconvenient. ”

Qiu Yizhi said something else, and Zheng Xin was comfortable, so he didn't force him to stay, but asked, "Where does that brother live?" If the foolish brother has something to ask, he can find a place. ”

Qiu Yizhi said "don't dare", and said: "There is a 'Mr. Bansong' in Jinling City who is a friend of the younger brother, and the younger brother will borrow it from him. If my brother has something to send, he should send someone to call him awaited. ”

Zheng Xin nodded and said: "This 'Mr. Bansong', I have also heard of his name for a long time, since I am here today, I will definitely pay a visit." ”

Qiu Yizhi talked to him for a while, and then called Yu Chi Jiming to go to the huge courtyard of "Mr. Bansong" Lin Shuhan.

Lin Shuhan's manor was not very far away from Qixia Temple, and Qiu Yizhi's fellow lieutenant Chi Jiming had already arrived at the door after walking for less than half an hour. The old man who guarded the door had only seen Qiu Yi's face, and he recognized it for a long time before he remembered it, so he opened the door with a smile and let the two of them in.

Lin Shuhan in the manor was drinking with Wu Ruofei in poetry, and when he heard that Qiu Yizhi and Yu Chi Jiming came to visit, he was very happy and came out of a long distance to greet him.

Yu Chi Jiming was originally very close to Wu Ruofei, and the two of them didn't miss each other for a long time, and as soon as they met, they chattered endlessly, and when they talked, they wanted to hold hands and go down to whisper.

Qiu Yizhi was greeting Uncle Lin, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Miss Wu, I haven't eaten dinner yet, can you pity me for a meal?" ”

Wu Ruofei covered his mouth and smiled: "Lord Qiu is still an official of the imperial court, why do you open your mouth like a beggar to beg for food?" ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that Wu Ruofei was charming and charming with a smile, and calmed down slightly, before she said embarrassedly: "Let Miss Wu smile." ”

Wu Ruofei covered his mouth again and smiled: "If you really let a court official starve to death here, not only will Mr. Lin's face be unpleasant, but I'm afraid it will also discredit my Han Dynasty!" I'll go down first and fry two side dishes for Lord Qiu, and I'll make it to satisfy my hunger. ”

After that, Wu Ruofei squatted down with Qiu Yizhi and Lin Shuhan, and walked down, while Yu Chi Jiming said that he wanted to help and left.

Uncle Lin watched the two women leave, and then asked in a deep voice, "I don't know how the adult's case is going?" ”

Qiu Yizhi knew what happened after saying goodbye to Lin Shuhan before the tenth month, so he pointed to a gazebo and said, "This matter, it's a long story, why don't you go to the pavilion and sit down in the pavilion first?" ”

He saw Lin Shuhan nodding in agreement, so he walked into the pavilion together, and after sitting down, he said, "Thanks to Mr. Talent, this matter has been almost completed." ”

After that, Qiu Yizhi picked up what he could say, and talked to Lin Shuhan in detail about how he discussed with his husband Zhong Likuang and Emperor Zheng Rong after entering Beijing, and how he instigated His Royal Highness Zheng Xin to go south to handle the case in person. After returning to Shanyin County, he also told Lin Shuhan about how to confront Zhou Mu Cai Min and Assassin Shi Yin Chengliang.

Wu Ruofei had already brought a few plates of steaming side dishes up, and when he heard Qiu Yizhi's story, he was already discolored, and said: "I didn't expect Yin Chengliang to be elegant on weekdays, but he was willing to be so ruthless." ”

Lin Shuhan unfolded the folding fan and shook it twice, and said, "What is this?" I've seen a lot of these officials, and I called you brother and brother a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, I wanted to kill you, and I was the most boring. ”

Wu Ruofei saw that Lin Shuhan's face seemed to be gloomy, and he hurriedly smiled: "It's good that you know it yourself, so why mention it in front of Lord Qiu?" There is a saying that 'if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world', I think it is good for you to be a free hermit here! ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he said: "Mr. Lin's great talent, I also mentioned it in front of Prime Minister Zhongli and the emperor, and these two nobles have long heard of Mr. Lin's talent. If Mr. has the heart to enter the phase, this introduction can be fully encompassed on the next body. ”

When Uncle Lin heard this, his eyebrows inadvertently raised upward, and then he glanced at Qiu Yi coldly, and said, "What talent do I have?" It's just a matter of drawing a few graffiti, writing a few bad words, and making a few broken poems, why should you be an official? ”

Qiu Yizhi seemed to reveal a little unhappiness in Lin Shuhan's words, so he couldn't answer it, so he could only laugh twice, which was considered to cover up the past.

However, Wu Ruofei was not empathetic, and while he and Wei Chi Jiming put the side dishes on the stone table in the pavilion, he smiled and said to Qiu Yizhi: "Lord Qiu should not pay attention to him, he is in a bad mood these days. He's like this, he can't hide things in his stomach, and he puts everything on his face. It's just that he is full of money, and his temper changes three times a day, so he has a bad reputation for being moody. ”

Lin Shuhan didn't give anyone face, if others dared to count him down in front of him like this, he had to immediately issue an expulsion order. However, if this Wu Ruo is not his sweetheart, even if he has another belly fire, he can't vent it.

So Lin Shuhan had no choice but to sigh: "You said it lightly, I'm in a bad mood, isn't it because of you?" ”

What he said made Wu Ruofei silent, and in a blink of an eye, a pair of phoenix eyes became moist.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi knew that what the two of them were talking about must be a matter of privacy, but he was really unhappy when he aroused his curiosity, so he said, "I don't know what it is, can Mr. Lin talk to me?" Speaking of Miss Wu, haven't you already talked to Mr. below? The emperor has relented and wants to pardon Miss Wu's lowly status, and after this case is completed, it should be successful. ”

Lin Shuhan sighed and said, "Adults do things, students are at ease." It's my father's side, it's really ......."

When Lin Shuhan said this, he actually choked up, hurriedly stood up and turned his back, not letting everyone in the industry see his gaffe, paused for a while, and then said: "If it weren't for the matter, I would have blown the wind with the old man in the family." He's good, no matter how indiscriminate, it's the word 'no', no matter if you're good or cheap, good or bad, as long as you stay in the Qinglou, you can't enter my Lin family! ”
