Chapter 404: You can't go back

Mr. Wu raised his head and looked at the face in front of him, which had grown up and matured, but was still honest and frank. When I first met him, he was only eight years old, and he was already a bright young man following Wu Chenliang.

His eyes swept over the roof, and he already knew it.

He likes to burn incense, in the past, in order to empathize with Emperor Jianwen in the temple, after a long time, he relied on this smell a little, only when he smelled the smell of cigarettes, he could feel at ease.

The smoke went up, and there was wind in the place where there was a piece of tile missing from the roof, and at a glance, even if he was dizzy, he could see that there was only one place where the smoke was flowing.

In Hu Yanjin's eyes, what he saw was the eyes on Mr. Wu's face, which had quietly become smaller, caught in wrinkles, like candlelight about to go out.

He smiled and asked, "Buckwheat...... Are you okay? I'm afraid I can't wait to drink your tea. ”

Hu Yanjin's nose was sour, if it was good, when they got married, Mr. Wu could replace his father, sit in the seat of the elders, and accept the bride's tea.

My father is gone, and I can almost take him to live a life that only belongs to me. In his dreams, he dreamed more than once that he had stayed by his father's side on the night he left......

This time, no matter what, I want to keep Mr. Wu.

"She is still in the palace, although there are difficulties, we will definitely persevere."

"She's a good girl, don't let them down...... I didn't expect her to be a royal child...... After returning to the palace, it is not easy to keep your heart...... It's actually the child of the Yan Wang family......"

Mr. Wu said it clearly at first, but the last two sentences were like muttering to himself, so he just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Xu Zhiheng's shouts came intermittently outside the door, and judging from the sound of response, they should be ready to go to the county government to protest.

"Sir, there will be time to catch up in the future, let's go out first, just as they are leaving, you go out together, turn right to the first inn, you remember clearly."

Mr. Wu nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, you go to the shelf and get my cloak." ”

Seeing that Mr. Huyan Jin had agreed, he hurriedly said loudly:

"Sir! Go out and persuade them not to do stupid things! If you are charged with rioting, you will even be disqualified from next year's township exam! ”

After speaking, he went to the inner room and took out the cloak and put it on for Mr. Wu.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to lure Luo Yi away, and his hand reached into his arms, took out a few flying stones, and held them in the palm of his hand.

He had no weapons except for the Hidden Blade. On the dock, I picked up a handful of stones. When he entered Wangnan's private school just now, Luo Yi gave him a dagger.

At this time, Luo Yi's dagger was no longer on the table, and Hu Yanjin didn't think about it for a while.

Seeing that the two were about to go out, Mr. Wu even put on a cloak, and Luo Yi on the roof gritted his teeth:

Hu Yanjin, if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless!

Mr. Wu followed Hu Yanjin out, and suddenly he stopped and shouted:

"Huyan ......"

Hu Yanjin looked back, Mr. Wu was standing behind him with a smile on his face, his hands pressed on his abdomen, Hu Yanjin was shocked, because he had already seen the dagger handle exposed in the heart of Mr. Wang's fist!

"Sir!"

He turned around and hugged Mr. Wu, who was already pressed on his arm with all the strength of his body, and he could no longer stand.

"Huyan, people can look back, but they can't go back. You're going to move forward......"

Mr. Wu trembled, pulled his hand over and grabbed it on the handle of the dagger.

Hu Yanjin's tears welled up all of a sudden.

Jianwen Dynasty Wu Wang Professor Yang Yingneng, Mr. Wu, who was also a teacher and friend, died in his arms at this moment.

He hugged Mr. Wu gently, and he picked up Mr. Wu, who was already a thin old man.

Luo Yi on the roof removed his eyes from the gap, and he didn't know if it was the smoke gushing out of the gap that made his eyes a little uncomfortable:

"Sheng Yonghua, you go in and see if you're really dead."

Sheng Yonghua didn't see the situation below, and when he saw Luo Yi rubbing his eyes, he didn't dare to ask, jumped off the roof, and entered the door in a flash.

"Lord Huyan!" He whispered.

Hu Yanjin came out of the inner room, his hands covered in blood. He said expressionlessly: "Mr. Wu is dead, you go and tell Luo Yi that the official wants to borrow his people to check the Yan County Order!" ”

Sheng Yonghua nodded, went to the side of the bed to take a look, pulled out the dagger, and hurried out.

Hu Yanjin slowly walked to the basin shelf in the corner, where there was still half a basin of clear water according to Mr. Wu's habits. He dipped his hand in the water, and the blood on his hand immediately fainted, staining the water red.

One can look back, but not back.

He could only move forward now.

Hu Yanjin is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and now the suspicion of him does not exist for the time being, and Luo Yi does not want to tear his face, not to mention that this is a matter of the imperial court.

Out of the East Chamber, Hu Yanjin found Xu Zhiheng and whispered a few words to him, Xu Zhiheng's face changed, he secretly glanced at a few brocade guards behind Hu Yanjin, and whispered back:

"I know, I'll leave the aftermath of the gentleman to me, don't worry, I will choose a feng shui treasure. It's just that...... It's a pity that this academy is ......"

Hu Yanjin patted him on the shoulder and said fiercely: "Go, take everyone to the county office, even if you can't find evidence, just rely on the people's grievances, this official will first send Yan County to prison for investigation!" ”

His heart was cold, and he was not at all relieved after getting rid of suspicion, since the emperor's suspicion had begun, he would never die.

What's more, he had already guessed where Xiao Yan had gone through Nanjing...... Dome! The place where he lived for more than ten years.

Perhaps, the case of Baoying is the last case he investigated and handled as an official of the imperial court.

He and Zhu Zhanji originated from Baoying, but he didn't expect that he would have to be due to Baoying.

Hu Yanjin arrived outside the county yamen, and many people who recognized him also followed him all the way to the yamen.

"Isn't this Mr. Wu's student, Lord Huyan?"

"Yes! That's him! He's the first official to go out! ”

"Why is the official still walking? Shouldn't it be a big carriage and a big battle, and the county lord will greet him outside the city? ”

"Look at Lord Huyan's posture, are you going to take Lord Yan?"

"Yes, the students of Wangnan Academy have made a fuss, saying that they will report the strict county order!"

"That's right! Accuse him! Let him lose his black gauze hat! ”

The county yamen changed the officials, and he didn't recognize Hu Yanjin, and before Hu Yanjin took out the waist card of the inspectorate, Sheng Yonghua had already shown the waist card of the Jinyi Guard, and said loudly:

"The Inspectorate and Jinyiwei requisitioned the county government to handle the case, go and let the county order and the county Cheng ascend to the court!"

When the official heard this, none of them were easy to mess with, so he hurriedly ran to the inner office.

Hu Yanjin stood on the steps at the entrance of the county government and said to the onlookers:

"Yan Shukui oppressed the people, under the pretense of increasing taxes and taxes in the name of the imperial court, folks, if there is a tax in the family that is higher than in previous years, take the tax bill to the door of the government for registration, and it is ready for future refunds."

"And such a good thing? Hurry back and find the list! ”

"I'll just say it! Lord Huyan is here to clean up the strict county order! ”

Hu Yanjin turned around and lifted his robe, raised his legs and entered the yamen hall.

When Yan County Ling and County Cheng hurried to the lobby, Hu Yanjin was already sitting in the hall, with two account books spread out on the table, Ruan Chong and Wei Lan holding embroidered spring knives, standing majestically on both sides.

Yan Xianling had a smile on his face, and just wanted to make a gesture for Hu Yanjin, Hu Yanjin patted the wood:

"Yan Shukui, what crime should you be guilty of!"
