Chapter 204: Smoke

The fiery sun seemed to have seen something frightening, and trembled and timidly hid in the clouds, the fog was like a dark veil, and with the light wind gusted, fluttering and covering the clouds, obscuring the fiery sun that had just been hot.

Li Molin looked out the window, squinted his eyes for a while, and said in a low and resentful voice: "Sure enough, it's today." ”

Liu Yunyun was slightly stunned, then turned her head and looked at him strangely, "What's wrong?" Who? Why today? ”

"Nothing." Li Molin seemed to be a little ashamed in his anger, and shook his head at Liu Yunyun, "Otherwise, don't go to see the house first, I'm afraid that it will be a little unsafe for a while, you stay here for a while, I will call all your people over to accompany you, this study is my place, and no one dares to disturb it, I'll deal with it." ”

"Are you alright?" Liu Yunyun frowned and said suspiciously.

Li Molin smiled, reached out and patted Liu Yunyun's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "It's really okay, it's not a big deal, don't worry, I'll go for a while and come back." ”

Liu Yunyun nodded, stood in place and watched Li Molin walk to the door, just about to turn the corner, her eyes rolled, she hurriedly ran to him, pulled his cuffs and said: "Cousin Molin, let Ping'an follow you, that kid is Huanhuan's fiancΓ©, who has practiced kung fu with Aunt Sun since he was a child, and his skills are very good." Blinked, interrupted Li Molin's words that he was about to refuse, and said, "It's rare that the face is raw." ”

Li Molin paused for a moment, understood what Liu Yunyun meant, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then you go down with me first, and let Huanhuan and Liu Dalang accompany you up later." ”

"Okay, be careful, too."

Liu Yunyun followed Li Molin along the corridor and walked straight to the hall, Li Molin instructed his personal servant to call Ping An and they came over, waited for everyone to be together, and let the little maid go out to guard.

Liu Yunyun never asked Li Molin what happened, but only explained that Ping An must protect Li Molin closely, once there is a little danger, quickly pull him away, saving his life is the first priority!

Ping'an's expression was tense, and after hearing Liu Yunyun explain his mission objectives, he couldn't help but laugh again, although it was a sullen smile, but it also infected everyone in the room.

Liu Dalang knew that Liu Yunyun was guarded by a secret guard he couldn't see, so he smiled and said: "I'll follow it too, anyway, this Xicheng also has our cloud clothes and flowers, and it's normal to patrol the shop, but there are some things, after all, the young master is an official, and when it comes to dealing with it, there will be some inconvenient places, and it will be much more normal for me to deal with it. ”

Li Molin and Liu Dalang have been familiar with each other since they were children, after thinking about it, they also feel reliable, besides, there are some things that let him come forward, which is indeed more mellow than what he handled, and nodded and said, "It's okay, let Dalang go with me, I will arrange a few more guards to leave to protect Yunyun, you don't have to worry, in the Soldiers and Horses Division, no one dares to mess around." ”

Liu Yunyun nodded, with a look of incomprehension, deliberately lowered her voice, and said slowly: "Of course, don't look at what Miss Ben's identity is?" Miss Ben is the cousin of the Governor of the Terracotta Division, who dares to bully me? ”

Li Molin laughed and touched Liu Yunyun's head, "Okay, let's go to the study and wait for me to come back and have lunch together." ”

Liu Yunyun responded with a smile, sent the three of them out with Huanhuan, and then turned around and went back to Li Molin's study.

The two of them didn't sit down, just folded their hands in front of their chests, leaned against the windowsill, and looked out the window at the scenery that had been shrouded in fog.

Huan Huan looked at the sky, looked at the street again, turned his head to look at Liu Yunyun, and blurted out, "Second Miss, this is not fog, it looks like someone has been burned on fire." ”

Liu Yunyun sighed and said depressedly: "Why can't I see this?" What a disappointment! This person, once he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, it will be annoying! ”

Huan Huan just wanted to ask, "Who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" "I opened my mouth, forget it, don't ask, I can't change the fact that it has happened if I ask too much, and I don't say that there are too many in my own heart, so let's wait and see.

In the spring of Jinjing, the rain is mostly in February and March, and once it enters April, the rain disappears, replaced by slightly dry weather and slightly sultry temperatures.

It's rare to see a distinctly yellowish-gray sky like today, like a dry veil of darkness covering the sky.

Most of the people standing on the street are looking up with their eyes open, even at home, and most of them are standing at the window, sticking their heads out of the window, looking at how the sky will be in a few moments, and it has become what it is now.

**********************************************************

Emperor Zhou Sheng sat very leisurely on the golden silk bamboo rocking chair in the courtyard, on a small and delicate table of the same color at hand, with a pot of tea on it, in front of him was a quiet lotus pond that only rippled when the wind blew, and the cherry blossom trees by the pool were full of flowers, fluttering and shaking, as if he was singing his praises for his short-lived but blooming youth.

Emperor Zhou Shengdi's eyes fell to the green grass with the petals, and the petals fell down in a swirling manner, although there were only sporadic ones, but they also rarely volatilized their colorful fragrance.

He took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and listened to the report of General Manager Deng without any expression on his face.

"The slave just heard someone's announcement, saying that Governor Li has taken someone to check, today I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, the second lady of the Liu family went to the Terracotta Division, entered from the back corner door, and brought four entourage, two small servants, two girls, now, only one girl is waiting with her, and she has not seen it in the Terracotta Division, and the other three have followed Governor Li out of the Terracotta Division, one of the girls seems to have been ordered to take care of the older guy, and the other guy, with clear eyebrows, has been following Governor Li closely, it seems that he should also have some kung fu on his body, but the depth is shallow, and it is difficult to say now. ”

"Hmm." Emperor Zhou Sheng nodded slowly, and said "um", Manager Deng looked at his face carefully, and continued: "According to the report of the dark team, it is not arson, but it is like roasting something with a nameless fire like charcoal fire, plus the weather is dry and there is still some wind today, so this thick smoke spread out so quickly." ”

Manager Deng adjusted his posture, bowed his waist deeper, turned his face slightly, looked at Emperor Zhou Sheng, and said tentatively in a low voice: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the servants send someone to check again?" ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng glanced at him, handed him the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile: "You old thing, you are so old, you are still such a personality, you can't change it in your life!" Want to test me? You've got to have that too, don't you? ”

Manager Deng didn't seem to be panicked, but slowly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The slave has been with the emperor all his life, what kind of character he is, the emperor naturally knows it, as for the temptation, the slave doesn't have the guts." ”

Emperor Zhou Sheng stood up from the bamboo rocking chair, along the fresh and beautiful lotus pond, walking slowly with his hands behind his back, the lotus flowers in the pond were well cared for, one by one in full bloom, the petals were stacked once, the color was bright but not dazzling, people looked at it, and the mood was happy but would not make the eyes tired because the color was too brilliant.

Isn't that precious?

"You, you just think too much, we are old, sometimes, it's time to let go and let their young people think and solve problems on their own." Emperor Zhou Sheng said as he sighed with emotion.

With Emperor Zhou Shengdi's words, Mr. Deng's heart was completely relaxed, and he nodded with a smile, and accompanied Emperor Zhou Sheng in this garden to enjoy the spring scenery.

***************************************************************************

Li Molin really returned to the Soldiers and Horses Division quickly, but Liu Dalang and Xiao Duoer were still outside to help him with his errands, and they didn't come back.

Ping An was brought back by Li Molin, originally Ping An wanted to stay, and then carefully investigate the scorching thatched hut, but Li Molin didn't worry that he would stay alone, after all, Ping An was just a small guy in Liufu, and he didn't have a position, in case one of them was not good, and he fell into someone else's way, it would be a big trouble.

Huanhuan hurriedly poured the tea, and after Li Molin sat down, he picked up the cup and drank it all, and drank several cups of Huanhuan tea in a row, and his throat returned to its original clearness.

Liu Yunyun waved her hand to signal Huanhuan, Huanhuan nodded, and retreated with the same kind of disgraced peace, and went down to drink water and wash her face.

"Cousin, what did you find?" Liu Yunyun personally twisted the handkerchief, handed it to Li Molin and wiped his hands and face, and when everything was cleaned up, he sat down to face him and asked.

Li Molin shook his head, "These people, it's really ill-intentioned, there is nothing useful left at the scene, this scorching charcoal, I probably took a look, it was all transported from outside the south of the city, you ......" Li Molin thought about it, his eyes narrowed, he approached Liu Yunyun and whispered: "You also know that outside the south of the city, there is only one mine under the Second Highness, and the collapse last autumn was not small, and the Jinjing City ...... Even in the outer city, almost all the people know that this mine is the property of His Royal Highness, and this time he is roasting charcoal in a thatched hut with such a big horn, obviously ......"

"Obviously, everyone will think that the Second Highness only cares about his own business, regardless of the safety of the people in the city and the air that everyone breathes." Liu Yunyun interjected and added.

"Air?" Li Molin knew that there were many kinds of words in Liu Yunyun's mouth, many of which she made up by herself, and she didn't bother to care about it, but the words were easy to understand, he could still understand them, so he nodded and continued: "You didn't look at it, the scene, baskets of charcoal, all burned, that smell, smell, quite pungent, I don't know how many people, just burned in the yard, a small earthen kiln, sparks are bubbling out, the black smoke, rubbing up, when I just entered the yard, I can't even open my eyes. ”

Liu Yunyun twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while, thought for a while, and asked, "Whose yard is that yard?" Who is the Lord's family? Is it rented out to other people, or are they using it for themselves, or are they lending it to some friends? On weekdays, those people frequently enter and exit that yard? And ......" Liu Yunyun touched her chin, "It's almost summer, what are they burning charcoal for?" Is there a market? Is it sold to other countries? If it is sold, what are the routes? Can there be butterflies? Or is it a guide? ”

Li Molin was stunned, and after listening to Liu Yunyun's series of questions, he seemed to react all at once, and stood up suddenly, "I'll go to Yingtianfu." ”

Liu Yunyun pulled him, held him down, and said with a smile: "What are you anxious about?" Probably when you go, the evidence that should have been destroyed has been destroyed, and now you go out in person, didn't you give them face and make them complacent? You don't need to go in person, just find a few little guys and talk to your uncle. ”

"You just can't hold your breath, you were injured last time, and you haven't learned a lesson yet?" Liu Yunyun pursed her eyes, looked at Li Molin and smiled.

Li Molin sighed, first summoned the little guy, and asked them to tell Xiao Peng Fuyin about the situation they went to the scene today, and then, when the little guy withdrew, he looked at Liu Yunyun and said, "The injury is indeed my carelessness." But this time, if the inspection is timely, maybe what evidence can be found, it is not necessarily. ”

"Even if you find evidence, this 'evidence' must be deliberately let you find it, what are you anxious about? If you don't look for evidence, they will be in a hurry, but they will not be able to find your style of doing things, what we want is this 'inaccurate'! ”

"But what about my uncle?"

"Look, you are easy to worry about blindly, uncle is a personal elite, this kind of organized and purposeful crime is exactly what he wants, you can take responsibility for what you should be responsible for, of course, you don't need to be too responsible, people who are officials, turn a blind eye, and good people don't offend people, which is the 'way of being an official'."

Liu Yunyun's uncle, the newly appointed Xiao Peng Mansion Yin, was reviewing and summarizing the past land dispute cases in the yamen at this time, and after listening to the little girl's report that Li Molin's people asked to see him, he immediately put down the bookcase in hand, raised his head and ordered: "Let them in." ”

Li Molin's most powerful little guy, called Quan Wu, is as his name suggests, his skin is deep and calm, and his force value is even more extraordinary, he entered the study, kowtowed to Xiao Peng Mansion Yin, Xiao Peng Mansion Yin looked at his tall and burly figure, and was a little trembling, and hurriedly said politely: "Get up, get up quickly, watch the tea." ”

Quan Wu Yu Guang'er glanced at the big locust tree outside the house, and in an instant, a polite smile appeared on his face, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

After a while, the little maid who was waiting in the yamen served tea, Xiao Pengfu Yin looked at Quan Wu with a smile, Quan Wu picked up the teacup, took a sip, leaned back again, and said: "Today, a small one came, it was with my master, just now the smoke, my master went to the charcoal-burning hut, and found nothing, the master is afraid that the prince will know the blame, no, hurry up and let the little one come, and say ...... to the Fu Yin Lord ward in advance."

"Oh, that's what happened, rest assured, this smoky thing is not Governor Li's responsibility, rest assured, I will send someone to check, you go back and tell Governor Li, let him rest assured, haha, rest assured."

Quan Wu stood up with a smile and nodded, "That little one won't delay Lord Yin to run an errand, so I will leave first." ”

Xiao Pengfu Yin Le let Quan Wu out of the house, turned around and went back to the study with a smile, and called the officials and other staff, "Oh, you guys, this is about to enter summer, what kind of charcoal are burning at this time?" ”

Where can Wang Tuiguan not understand Xiao Peng's Mansion Yin, nodded with a smile, and said helplessly: "It's true, estimated, which family is it, and if you want to go crazy, you can't say it's necessarily, or let Xia Guan'er check it out first?" ”

Xiao Peng Fu Yin thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, you take a few people to have a look, mainly to see if there is any burning of the neighbor's house, the wall or something, don't smoke it so much that you can't see it, if someone wants to compensate or something, let's ask for instructions on the top." ”

After eating an official meal at the Terracotta Division, Liu Yunyun ignored Li Molin's objections, and went to see the house with Huanhuan and Ping'an, and walked two houses, but they were not very satisfied, and Liu Dalang was not there, so he could only go back to Liufu in a huff.

returned to Liufu, went to greet the two aunts, and after talking for a while, Liu Yunyun went back to her yard.

After washing, I slept for half an hour for a nap, and after getting up, I walked around the yard a few times refreshed before returning to the small study and continuing to write my opening ceremony plan.

Approaching evening, the light in the house also dimmed, but it was not yet time to light the lamp, so Liu Yunyun had no choice but to put down the pen and paper in her hand, go to the yard again, and blow the warm breeze.

"Second Miss." Xiaoxiao ran over from a distance.

"What's wrong? Aunt Yan finally gave you a big vacation? Liu Yunyun teased with a smile.

Since she lent Xiaoxiao to Aunt Yan, Aunt Yan has to find Xiaoxiao in almost everything, and even Aunt Yan's girls joked that with Xiaoxiao, she can finally unload the burden on her body and relax.

"Second Miss." Xiaoxiao's eyes were serious, she approached Liu Yunyun, and said quickly: "The third lady of the Lu Mansion asked Xiaocao'er to bring you the letter." ”

"Where's the little grass man?" Liu Yunyun took the letter, read it quickly, closed the letter, looked at it and asked with a smile.

"I've already gone back, the master of the slave and maid, I'm afraid that she will stay for a long time and arouse suspicion again, what's the matter? The second lady wants to see her? He smiled and said worriedly.

"No!" Liu Yunyun waved her hand.

smiled and looked at her suspiciously, but didn't ask what the letter said, after all, in the yard now, the safety is still a little worse.
