Huan Rang dismissed from the Yushitai at noon, and was about to go back to the Hou Mansion for lunch, but unexpectedly not far from the Yushitai, he suddenly heard a rather contemptuous call from behind him: "Huan Envoy Jun." ”

This yin and yang weird and offensive tone and voice, you can tell who it is when you hear it.

Huan Rang turned around stiffly, and sure enough, he saw Liu Fang standing in the corner not far away, smiling at him playfully.

Liu Fang called Huan Rang to stop, and now Huan Rang turned back, but he stood there for a long time, but looked at Huan Rang with a rather arrogant attitude, as if waiting for Huan Rang to come over to find him.

In the past, in the Hou Mansion, Huan Rang wronged himself everywhere, but now it is different from the past, and he naturally does not want to lower his stature anymore to curry favor with a small palace master.

But Liu Fang didn't say anything, he still stood there still, the two were deadlocked, and in the end Liu Fang won, not for anything else, because Huan Rang was worried that he would be seen having dealings with people in Wuling Palace.

Huan Rang glanced cautiously left and right, and then looked carefully behind him, and saw that there was no one nearby, so he dared to move towards Liu Fang, but he also walked over with a panicked look, hid in the dark, and lowered his voice and scolded: "How did Master Liu find here, and he is not afraid of being seen!" ”

Liu Fang has always had a prejudice against Huan Rang, and because of the suitability Huan Rang who refused to come over because of the official shelf with him, he was even more dissatisfied in his heart, and now Huan Rang gave such a lecture, he mocked strangely: "Yo, Huan Yushi has not been an official for a few days, but this official shelf has been put up." ”

When Huan Rang heard this, he immediately frowned again, with a clear look of displeasure on his face, although he wanted to give Liu Fang a dismount, but he was afraid that Liu Fang was a celebrity in front of Xiao Ye, so he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of him, so he had to make compromises, and explained with a smile: "Master Liu, you must have misunderstood, I still need to lurk beside Xie Yu to find out the movements of the prince, but I must not let people know that I have a private relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Wuling, and if I show my stuffing, the county lord of Shanyin will tear his face with me." ”

"Oh? Is it," Liu Fang looked disdainful, presumably for Shen Yuzhi's business, but now he became suspicious of Huan Rang, and he asked rhetorically: "Then say so, but I, Liu, am not careful?" ”

Huan Rang wanted to pinch Liu to death like an ant on the ground in his heart, but now he could only make a smile at him, so he bowed slightly and sneered: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Liu Fang coldly threw a roll of his eyes, glanced at him sideways, as if he was about to lose his value, he only snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Your Highness is in the tea house, please Huan Envoy Jun go over to eat tea, Huan Envoy Jun, please." ”

"Eh," Huan Rang's head lowered slightly, and he nodded lightly.

It's really ridiculous and ironic to say that he is a school inspector of the imperial history, and he wants to grovel like the same as the master of the palace!

Liu Fang glanced at him with disdain, and let out a muffled snort in his nose, so he flicked his sleeves, then turned around, and went in the direction of the Confucian teahouse.

Huan Rang was still standing at the base of the wall, and he was about to pull away from Liu Fang, so he didn't dare to move until he saw Liu Fang walking a little farther, and then he looked around.

When he followed to the teahouse, Liu Fang went in first, standing at the top of the stairs and waiting, Huan Rang stood at the door, and did not forget to carefully guard the surroundings, and then walked in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly followed Liu Fang upstairs, until he walked into Xiao Ye's private room, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

In the private room, Xiao Ye sat with a few seats, leaning slightly sideways, kneeling in front of the square coffee table, and opposite Xiao Ye, sitting were Shen Yuzhi and Shen Wenhe father and son.

Earlier, Xiao Ye was unhappy with Shen Wenhe for Xiao Yifu's affairs, but now he still has a face-down relationship again, Shen Wenhe is still Shen Youzhi's only son in the end, if he wants to ask Shen Youzhi to do things, how can he tear his face with his son.

In other words, it's just taking advantage of each other.

Huan Rang strode into the private room, Shen Youzhi already had a straight face, but now when he saw him come in, he was even more angry, he glanced at Huan Rang sideways, and then immediately turned his face away and stopped looking at him, this action was accompanied by a burst of anger.

Shen Wenhe sat on Shen Youzhi's side, not angry, unhappy, or worried, just holding the teacup and taking a sip.

Huan Rang walked up to Xiao Ye, hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and called softly: "Your Highness." ”

Xiao Ye had a cold face, glanced at him casually, and then asked, "Huan Rang, do you still have this king in your eyes?" ”

Huan Rang was stunned for a moment, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Ye, and said with a flattering smile: "Your Highness, what are these words, the lower official was able to enter the imperial history platform thanks to His Royal Highness's support, and now the lower official is thinking about His Royal Highness's grace day and night." ”

"Really?" Xiao Ye laughed and said, "Since this king is your Bole, why don't you come to greet this king these days?" You will only know if the king sends someone to you. ”

As soon as Huan Rang came, he saw that Xiao Ye was treating him a little abnormally today, and he thought that Xiao Ye was wrong, but now he was hanging in his heart, but he was angry that he hadn't come to report Xie Yu and the prince's movements these days.

He smiled and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, the lower officials have not gone to the palace to ask to see His Royal Highness these days, firstly, because he is busy with official business, and secondly, he ...... It is true that Xie Yu and the prince are too calm and there is no movement. ”

"Xie Yu?" Xiao Ye was very contemptuous and reprimanded: "Do you still have the courage to say to this king that she is Xie Yu? ”

Huan Rang didn't react until this time, Xiao Ye was actually angry with Shen Yu for designing Xie Yu's defeat a few days ago, but what does this matter have to do with him, he is just a clue, how to design Xie Yu, it's not a few of them who think of it? Now that he has lost, he is still to blame!

"Your Highness...... She...... She is Xie Yu, she talked about it with Xiaguan's eldest brother that night, and Xiaguan heard it with his own ears. Huan Rang said so hesitantly, worriedly, Xiao Ye's eyes were full of contempt, and he only said: "Do you think this king will believe you again?" ”

Huan Rang raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ye and said bluntly: "Your Highness...... It's to blame the lower officials for General Shen's digging of the grave a few days ago......"

Before Xiao Ye could answer, Shen Yuzhi opened his mouth first, and slammed the case, shaking several tea sets on the coffee table trembling, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Huan Rang, and scolded: "Huan Rang Xiao'er, you can make the old man miserable!" ”

Before that, he could be regarded as a powerful minister in the court who wanted wind and rain, but now he is good, not to mention being suspended, and he was beaten in vain, and he went to the court lieutenant office to receive the cane punishment that day, which can be said to be a loss of old face! Fortunately, Zheng Hui was polite to him, secretly reduced him by thirty rods, and instructed the jailer to be lighter, otherwise, he would not be able to get out of bed in eight or nine days, with his old arms and legs?

"This ......" Huan Rang squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and said: "General Shen, in this matter, I complain that Xie Yu is too insidious and cunning, but I can't complain about the officials!" ”

"Why can't I blame you? At the beginning, you reported the news, saying that Xie Zheng was Xie Yu's, and the old man tried his best to design such a play, just to let her show her original form, and Xingshi brought a group of people over to dig Xie Yu's grave, thinking that he could be in the limelight, but who knew that he would lose his official position! The more Shen Yuzhi spoke, the more angry he became, and after he finished speaking, he slapped the coffee table with all his strength, and the force was so great that it left a deep palm print on the coffee table.

A few days ago, Shen Yuzhi led troops to break into the Xie cemetery to dig up the grave and frame the county lord of Shanyin, but now it is full of turmoil in the city, and the people in the market have heard of it, not to mention the people of the Yushitai, this case is being investigated in the Yushitai!

In the face of Shen Yuzhi's accountability, Huan Rang still said the same sentence: "That Xie Yu is scheming, he must have hidden the bones in the coffin four years ago to prevent future trouble." ”

Xiao Ye sneered: "Could she Xie Yu be an immortal, she actually has the ability of such an unpredictable prophet, she had expected that someone would dig up the grave and conduct an autopsy four years ago?" The coffin on top has not yet decayed, and it is clear that it has only been put in in the last few days, how do you explain this? Huan Rang, I'm afraid it's a ghost around this king. ”

The tone in which he spoke was strange, and Huan Rang naturally heard the meaning of his words, he was stunned in his heart, and he knelt down in a hurry, and said, "Your Highness, you shouldn't be suspicious of the lower officials, right......?"

Xiao Ye squinted at Huan Rang, and said lightly: "Actually, you are not here to help this king deal with her at all, but to help her deal with this king, you are an informant sent by her, and the last thing was that you teamed up with her to calculate this king!" She is not Xie Yu at all, she is Xie Zheng, you took advantage of this king's suspicion of her to play a bitter trick, making General Shen the target of everyone, causing this king to lose power, is this the case? ”

"Nope! No! Huan Rang shook his head stiffly, "Your Highness! That night, she mentioned it to her eldest brother, but Xia Guan heard it with her own ears, she was really Xie Yu! She's really Xie Yu! ”

Xiao Ye was still kneeling in front of the coffee table, but he moved his body and moved closer to Huan Rang, he said with a tone of banter and mockery: "Now that the matter is over, why does this king believe you anymore." ”

Huan Rang knelt on the ground, thinking in fear, and finally said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your majesty...... Xia Guan will definitely find evidence as soon as possible to prove that she is Xie Yu, please believe Xia Guan again! As he spoke, his head slammed on the floor.

Xiao Ye looked at him and said, "Okay, since you have said so, then this king will give you another chance, but if you dare to play any tricks with this king, this king has a way to deal with you!" ”

Huan Rang was like a frightened bird, hearing Xiao Ye's tone speak heavier, his body couldn't help shaking, and he replied embarrassedly: "Yes!" Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! ”

"Get out," Xiao Ye said indifferently, Huan let this even crawl away, he didn't care about being seen by any acquaintances at the moment, out of the private room, he lowered his head and went downstairs, but he didn't know that he just walked to the staircase, and when he was about to go down, the door of the private room at the top also opened, and Kong Xiuzhi walked out of it, just in time to see him fleeing from the wilderness.

Kong Xiuzhi was naturally suspicious, most of the people who came to the teahouse at this hour were individual guests, but no one went to the private room, how could Huan Rang be here, he hurriedly asked the little guy: "There are guests in the private room?" ”

The little servant pointed to the private room next door and said in a low voice, "King Wuling is inside." ”

King Wuling? Kong Xiuzhi was stunned, at this time Huan Rang had disappeared from view, he looked sideways at the staircase, and was suspicious in his heart, could it be Huan Rang and King Wuling......

He didn't dare to think about it, so he told the little guy a few words, and left in a hurry.

In the private room, Shen Yuzhi asked Xiao Ye: "Your Highness just let him go, aren't you afraid that he will go back to Xie Zheng?" ”

"Hmph," Xiao Ye disdainful, "A small school inspection imperial history is at most a pug next to Xie Zheng, what kind of storm can he set off." ”

When the words fell, Liu Fang poured tea for a few people one by one, and said: "I heard that this Xie Zheng also has a brother, called Xie Wei, I thought that this person is no longer alive, but our people went to Huiji and Boling to inquire many times, only to know that Xie Wei was not dead, and now he went to his uncle's house, that is, Boling Cui's family, and sent a letter this morning, asking them to invite Xie Wei to Jiankang to recognize his relatives." As soon as this Xie Wei came, Xie Zheng's identity would naturally be revealed. ”

Shen Wenhe held the teacup in one hand and brought it to his mouth, only then did he blow it, and was about to drink it, when he heard this, he instinctively pricked up his ears, he secretly raised his eyes, glanced at Liu Fang meaningfully, and then lowered his eyes, and then drank the tea.

Kong Xiuzhi hurriedly found the Hou Mansion, at that time Huan Ling was sitting with Xie Zheng in the side hall of the front yard, waiting for Huan Rang to come back to eat together, and the porter reported: "County Hou, the Kong servant of Shangshu Province is here." ”

"Please," Huan Ling heard that Kong Xiuzhi was coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him, and walked to the door of the mansion, Kong Xiuzhi entered the mansion, and when he saw Huan Ling, he said: "I have something to tell you." ”

"When were you so nervous?" Huan Ling was still kept in the dark, looking at Kong Xiuzhi with a blank expression.

Kong Xiuzhi was quite evasive in his heart, he put one hand on Huan Ling's wrist, next to him, and whispered: "I was in the teahouse, and I saw your Erlang, coming out of the private room of King Wuling, and when he left, he was panicked, and he didn't know what to talk about inside. ”

Huan Ling was also surprised, and repeatedly confirmed: "Is it really my Zhongxuan?" Are you mistaken? How could he have anything to do with King Wuling? ”

Kong Xiuzhi said: "I must be not mistaken, he must not have come back now, when he comes back, you have to ask clearly!" ”

"Okay," Huan Ling nodded uneasily, and responded, "I'll ask carefully when I go back." ”

Kong Xiuzhi also bowed his head and said, "I still have some things at hand, so I will leave first." ”

"Slow down," Huan Ling looked absent-minded, and after a while, Huan Rang came back, he was also uneasy, and the two brothers happened to meet in the courtyard.

Huan Ling saw that Xie Zheng was still sitting in the side hall and watching, lest she know that Huan Rang had dealings with Xiao Ye, and she would definitely turn her face at that time, so she avoided talking about this matter for the time being and just asked Huan Rang tentatively: "Where have you been, why did you come back now, the food is cold." ”

"Oh, I...... I'm dealing with the hussar general's case over there, and I'm too busy to leave. ”

Huan Rang's answer was hesitant, and Huan Ling was probably a little skeptical.
