At this time, Yunhua was in the main house, drinking tea with Li Zhuoran, Li Zhuoran saw the tea leaves floating up and down in the water, thinking that now all the people in Liuting, only Zhao Qingzhou left his hometown and stayed in Jiangning without support, so he said: "Yunhua, such a heavy rain, what do you guess Qingzhou is doing in Jiangning?" Yunhua smiled: "Reading, drinking." Li Zhuoran laughed twice and said: "If a gentleman is idle, there are always these two things that he likes to do." But if the villain is idle, he doesn't know where the world will suffer. ”

Yunhua took two dried chrysanthemums with a bamboo clip and put them in the teapot, and said: "This is interesting, but sometimes, without the need for villains, people may be unjustified disasters, such as how many farmers' harvests will be cut off by this rain, and if the dam bursts, how many Li people will suffer." Li Zhuoran was about to answer, when he suddenly saw Uncle Feng walking briskly from the courtyard wearing a hat, and said to Yunhua: "Uncle Feng is running so fast, I don't know what is going on." While speaking, Uncle Feng had already arrived outside the door, and because he was worried that the rain on his feet would stain the ground, he only stood outside the door and said: Young master, there is a Xiang Gongzi outside, saying that there is something important to discuss with Gongzi."

Zhang Yunhua and Li Zhuoran got up at the same time and glanced at each other, Yunhua said to Uncle Feng: "Please come in, in the future, the people from the Xiang Mansion will come, you don't have to stop them, it's the same as seeing your own family." Uncle Feng sighed and ran back, Yunhua walked to the eaves of the patio, and felt a little uneasy in his heart: according to Xiang Kang's hearty and open personality, even life and death matters are considered trivial, but now that he is saying that it is an "important matter", it seems that the situation is very unusual.

After a while, Xiang Kang took Ah Feng and walked down from the small bridge in front, Ah Feng held an umbrella for Xiang Kang, but Xiang Kang walked too fast, and Ah Feng couldn't catch up with him in the back, so both of them were wet. Li Zhuoran smiled and said: "The rain was originally a day to stay guests, and it was really appropriate for the guests to come to the door in the day of staying. Xiang Kang didn't care about Li Zhuoran's ridicule, walked straight to the front porch of the room, and said, "Yunhua, Zhuoran, something happened in Qingzhou." The two were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly invited Xiang Kang's master and servant to sit down in the house.

Xiang Kang picked up the tea that Li Zhuoran had just given, poured a few sips, and told the two of them what happened in the court today. It turned out that when the official family reviewed the chapter early this morning, he opened a few copies of the recital sent by Zhao Qingzhou the day before yesterday, and the first one was empty, and he opened the other copies, and saw that they were all empty, and he couldn't help but be furious; When he was in the court, he threw Zhao Qingzhou's fold down from the dragon chair in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, so that everyone could circulate it.

The emperor said in the court: "Although I am not wise, I dare not be diligent, and when it comes to the court and the people, I must be respectful and dare not be lazy." This Zhao Qingzhou, although he has merits in Jiangning, is proud of his merits, dereliction of duty, and sent me a stack of blank pieces, which is simply to bluff me as a three-year-old child, and treat the life and death of the people of Jiangning as child's play. Then he asked the subordinate province to pick up the relics of Du Jinping's imitation, and the palace servant Cao Kechun and the official department servant Lang Fan Wenqi rushed to Jiangning with the holy edict, and Jiangning was sentenced to Hangyi, and Zhao Qingzhou was brought back to Faluo within three days.

Yun Hua and Zhuo Ran immediately knew that this matter was not trivial, and it was lazy and slack, dereliction of duty, and to put it seriously, it was a capital crime of bullying the king. Yunhua asked Xiang Kang: "Have you read it, is it really empty?" Xiang Kangdao, I only stood in the back, and saw the two books that fell on the court, scattered out, and there was indeed a blank inside. My father stood in front of him, hurriedly picked up a book, took it in his hand and read it carefully, not to mention words, not a single symbol. ”

Li Zhuoran raised his eyebrows, and said in disbelief: "Qingzhou's temperament has always been cautious and cautious, even if you really make a mistake in one or two books, you can't be wordless." Yunhua also said to Xiang Kang: "I don't believe that Lao Zhao would do such a ridiculous thing, maybe someone in the middle has transferred the contract." Xiang Kang explained: "On the cover of each of these seals, his official seal is stamped, and besides, the seals of foreign officials are personally delivered by messengers from official posts in various places, so there is no mistake." ”

Li Zhuoran scratched his head anxiously and said, "If someone deliberately frames him, can't the official seal be engraved privately?" Xiang Kang said: "The official seal is a felony to kill the head, who would do such a risky thing." After saying this, the three of them fell silent, and they all secretly felt in their hearts that although they were desperate, maybe someone would want to put Zhao Qingzhou to death. Yun Hua lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said to Li and Xiang: "Now that the chapter is not in our hands, if we can't get this, there is no way to speculate the truth of the facts from the physical evidence, so any conclusions made now are groundless, and it will not help to rescue Qingzhou." Xiang Kang also calmed down at this moment, nodded and said, "Yunhua, what do you think we should do?" ”

Yunhua looked at the heavy rain outside the window, pursed his lips, and said for a while: "Let's go our separate ways, after all, the chapter was written from Jiangning Zhao Mansion, Zhuo Ran went to Jiangning, and worked with Changfan to find out what was going on in the mansion." Li Zhuoran got up and said, "Then I'll go now." Xiang Kang was a little worried and persuaded: "How can you get such a heavy rain?" Li Zhuoran said: "I wear a hat and a hat, hurry up, and I can go anywhere." If it's too late, I'm afraid that Cheongju will die. ”

Yunhua knew that Li Zhuoran had always been in such a hurry, and he was afraid that he would be in a hurry, so he persuaded him: "It's not at this moment, even if the officials go to get people, they have to leave tomorrow morning." Let's have lunch, it's not too late to go. "Where can I eat," Li Zhuoran slapped the table and said: "The poison in Qingzhou has only been solved for a few days, and these people are going to harm him in the court, if I don't go to find out immediately, when the official family decides the case, it will be more difficult to overturn the case than to ascend to the sky, I can't watch the old dust of Brother Bubang in Qingzhou." ”

The more he spoke, the more he felt that it was urgent, and he couldn't wait to step into the Jiangning realm with one foot in the air. Yun Hua looked at him steadily, Li Zhuoran was stared at by Yun Hua, and asked, "Yun Hua, you have something to say, don't look at me like this." Only then did Yunhua speak: "You rushed like this, have you ever thought about how to verify, who to find, and what to ask?" Li Zhuoran realized that he was only concerned about rushing to Jiangning, but he had no plan in his heart, so he couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of spit, sat down again, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "Lao Li, you can't change your temper, but I listened to Yunhua finish speaking." Li Zhuoran glanced at him, but did not refute. Yun Hua let out a long sigh and said, "I thought, when you arrive in Jiangning, avoid the official mansion, go to Changfan first, and let him recall whether Qingzhou wrote the chapter that day, when it was written, where it was placed after writing, and whose hand handed it out." ”

Li Zhuoran's mind has always been spinning fast, after Yunhua finished speaking, he had already secretly written it down, and said: "Okay, I asked Changfan to turn Qingzhou's study upside down, if Qingzhou really regarded the blank recitals as written, then the ones that were written must still be in his study." Yunhua nodded and said: "If you don't find it, you will take Changfan to the official post, find the person who received the chapter that day, and ask if there was any omission in the handover, and who the next station was passed to. ”

When Xiang Kang heard this, he couldn't help asking: "What if you can't ask like this?" Yunhua frowned, and replied: "If you don't find out what is going on, Qingzhou should also be escorted to Lin'an at that time, and then you need the drive of the Lao Xiang brothers, go to the cell in person, interview Qingzhou, and see if he can think of anything, so that we people can visit him outside." Hearing this, Xiang Kang hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "I... I'm afraid I can't ask clearly. ”
