Feng Yuandao was puzzled, "But what's the use of you asking Yan'er about this?" ”

Yin Shiyun stood up and said in a low voice, "In previous years, a few days before the summer solstice in Luoyang, the sun shadow was about one foot five inches, and then it was shortened by a few points every day, and when the summer solstice became the shortest, it was increased by a few points every day.

"And the shadow of the sun in the last month is no different from previous years - yesterday's shadow is still one foot four inches and eight minutes, and it stands to reason that there is no shadowless wonder on Daifeng Mountain today no matter what."

Feng Yuandao was stunned, "That...... Wei Shoufu said it conclusively...... Isn't it ......?"

"I know Ah Yan's ability, so I wanted to ask her to see if she noticed anything wrong." Yin Shiyun's gaze drooped slightly, "Either at noon today, the shadow of the sun in Luoyang is still one foot four, otherwise, this evil art of changing the sun and changing shadows...... It's not just a 'person' who can do things. ”

……

As noon approached, Feng Yan had already taken off her makeup, changed into her regular clothes, and sat alone on a shady stone step in the courtyard.

In the bare yellow earth not far away, she inserted a short straight branch, supported her cheeks, and silently gazed at the change of the sun's shadow.

The sun in the sky not only shines on the viewing platform on Daizong Mountain, but also shines on every household in Luoyang City, everyone can see today's sun shadow in their own yards and streets.

Although it was not yet noon, Feng Yan could already see that today's shadow was indeed unusually short.

"Ah Yan, it's time to eat."

Wei Xingzhen's voice came from the room, he had already opened all the seven or eight food boxes sent by the Guogong Mansion, and placed the dishes on his and Feng Yan's food tables.

Feng Yan stood up, took one last look at the shadow on the ground, and walked towards the house without hurrying.

"I'm not hungry yet." Feng Yan sat down next to the dining table opposite Wei Xingzhen, "Lord Wei, let's use it first." ”

Wei Xingzhen picked up the dishes and chopsticks alone and ate without saying a word.

"What does Lord Wei want to do in the afternoon?" Feng Yan asked.

"Ah Yan didn't sleep all night last night, she should be tired," Wei Xingzhen didn't raise her eyes, but said softly, "You just have a good rest here, we don't have to go anywhere today." ”

As soon as Feng Yan wanted to say something, her eyes looked out of the door of the house—Wei Xingzhen had obviously sensed someone approaching as well, and the two of them soon heard a voice coming from outside the courtyard at the same time.

"My lord! My lord! No...... Oh no......" a young boy stumbled into the courtyard.

Wei Xingzhen looked at him, "Speak slowly." ”

The little guy was flushed, dressed roughly, and sweaty, and looked like he had run all the way.

Feng Yan picked up a small empty bowl in front of her desk, poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over, the little girl was not restrained, and took the cup with a "thank you" and drank it all.

The little guy raised his arm, wiped the sweat from his face on his clothes, and slowed down for a while before recovering his strength.

"That's right, after they left from Zhixuanmen today, many officials in the court did not go back, but gathered together to Taiwei's Mansion, and many of them were former students of Taiwei Xue.

"At first, they were all indignant, and when it was almost noon, everyone watched the shadow of the day getting shorter, and they stopped squeaking, and at this time Taiwei Xue drew his sword, saying that he would kill himself on the spot to thank the world, and then everyone was angry again, and said......"

The little guy suddenly stopped talking, scratching his ears and cheeks and couldn't say half a word.

"What did you say?" Wei Xingzhen asked.

“…… Anyway, it's all bad things for adults. The little servant frowned and looked up at Wei Xingzhen cautiously, "They also threatened to set off from the Xue family in a while to smash our Wei Mansion." My lord, let's ...... There are only a dozen people in total, and if there are so many people rushing over, I'm afraid ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Wei Xingzhen took the wet towel on the side of the table and pressed the corner of her mouth, "It's up to them—"

"Lord Wei," Feng Yan said softly, "I'll go and have a look with you." ”

……

Outside the Taiwei Mansion, it has long been surrounded by people.

The scholars stood at the outermost end, and many of them didn't even squeeze in the door.

Most of the people who wandered around the courtyard were local officials, and some of them did not go to the pilgrimage outside the Xuanmen this morning, so they came to visit at this time.

In the main hall due south, most of them are Xue Anshan's cronies.

Xue Anshan sat on the main seat, his hair was messy, after experiencing a series of actions such as drawing his sword, swinging himself, and being snatched from the sword, his aging body was already too tired to toss anymore, and he was being taken care of by a few proud protégés at this time.

"Your Majesty has left me dignity," Xue Anshan looked at the ground in front of him disheartenedly, "You guys...... Don't make me decent. ”

Chen Ming, the priest of the country on the side, sighed, "What is decent or not, that's just Wei Xingzhen's words, why should the teacher take it to heart?" ”

"There is no shadow on the summer solstice......," Xue Anshan reddened his eyes, "I really let him say it right." ”

"Captain, you need to cheer up!" In the imperial history, Xu Dayou stared at the side, "Do you think, how could this good shadow suddenly disappear?" I think there's a big problem here! ”

Several people nearby echoed at the same time, "Yes, what kind of means Wei Xingzhen used in secret is really suspicious." ”

The gate of the mansion in the distance suddenly became noisy, and the crowd erupted into chaotic shouts.

Several people in the hall all looked out in unison, "What's going on outside?" ”

A subordinate ran through the courtyard and ran in quickly, "Master! It's Wei Xingzhen's carriage coming! ”

Outside the gate of the mansion, the carriage of the Wei family slowly approached the gate of the Xue Mansion surrounded by the crowd, and the indignant scholars threw the stones and dead branches they had picked up to Wei Xingzhen's carriage.

The young driver held his head in one hand and shouted for a way, and finally drove the car to the place.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wei Xingzhen opened the curtain and jumped off the ground.

The scholar in front was about to step forward to scold, but was stunned by Wei Xingzhen's calm eyes.

“…… Get out of the way. ”

Wei Xingzhen spat out two words short and sternly, and the crowd around him froze for a moment, and then immediately withdrew from a blank space beside him.

Everyone thought that Wei Xingzhen was going to enter the mansion, but they didn't want him to turn around, so he stretched out his hand to the carriage.

People looked curiously at the carriage, and first half of the white arms and sleeves poked out of the carriage, and then a beautiful woman with an indifferent expression also leaned out.

Feng Yan raised her eyes and looked at the crowd surging in all directions - this is really ...... A fresh experience like never before.

In the past, in such a crowded place, she might not have been able to stay for a moment, but at this time, the shouts in the distance were fierce, and the faces of the people near were full of anger, but she felt light and completely unaffected.

That's nice...... An indescribable emotion rose in Feng Yan's heart.

It turns out that this is what ordinary people feel like in a crowd.

No wonder my aunt's evaluation of Wei Xingzhen is "upright".

This is righteousness......

She held Wei Xingzhen's hand and calmly got out of the car.

None of the scholars knew Feng Yan, but when they saw her appearance, they knew that this person was probably from an extraordinary background.

The little guy in front of the Xue Mansion barely squeezed in front of Wei Xingzhen at this time to ask what he meant, Wei Xingzhen recognized him, and said softly, "I heard that Lord Taiwei was unwell, and I came to visit with my wife." Please run and tell Captain Xue. ”
