At this hour, in a garden on the outskirts of the capital, the garden was relatively quiet, leaning against the river, and on the river platform with wooden planks at the riverside, there was a man in a gray shirt with a hat fishing.

Behind the man stood an attendant waiting respectfully. Not far away, two people walked on the riverside road, and in front of them was an older middle-aged man, followed by Mo Maoli, the prince of Qianguo.

The sun carried a cold wind, blowing the angler's clothes and caressing the man's bony face.

The entourage waiting behind him saw Mo Maoli's arrival and hurriedly said to the angler, "The prince of Yunnan is here. ”

After being brought here, Mo Maoli knew who the person he had asked to meet was, and he stood behind the fisherman, with a respectful expression and a cold countenance, and said, "Lord Yushi." ”

The angler put down the bamboo pole, stood up from the bench and turned back to Mo Maoli and smiled, "The prince came on time. ”

This person is the official of the imperial court of the current dynasty, Cheng Lei Shizhen.

"The invitation of the adult, why didn't Changli dare to come." The corners of Mo Maoli's mouth were smiling, and his expression was indifferent, even if he knew that this trip was a purposeful invitation from this imperial history, he was calm.

"It's about the life and death of your Yunnan Qianguo Mansion, does the prince want to know what it is?"

Lei Shizhen had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were hideous.

Mo Maoli smiled at the corner of his mouth, "What did the adults know?" What did my Qianguo Mansion do wrong to make the adults catch the handle? ”

Lei Shizhen was not in a hurry or panic, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Someone wrote to me anonymously, saying that the Yunnan Qianguo Mansion colluded with Burmese officials and allowed some Burmese to act recklessly on the border of Yunnan and do something detrimental to the country's foundation." ”

The meaning of these words is not obvious, saying that the Qianguo Mansion colluded with foreign thieves. Mo Mao Li frowned suddenly, stared at Lei Shizhen with heavy eyes, and smiled unbelievably after being stunned, "What are you talking about, it is a capital crime to slander the Qianguo Mansion, I don't think your lord will believe such a joke so casually." ”

He looked at Lei Shizhen with a complicated expression.

"The official didn't believe it either, so he invited the prince to come to a gathering, informed the prince of this matter, and asked the prince of Qianguo to investigate carefully, who was behind the accusation of the Duke of Qianguo."

Lei Shi detective said the right color, and after speaking, he took out a letter from the placket of his shirt and handed it to Mo Maoli, "Look at it yourself." ”

Mo Maoli's expression stiffened, he couldn't imagine that there was such a letter, so he picked it up suspiciously, opened it and read it.

The content of the letter is as Lei Shizhen said, it is a secret letter from someone who told the secret in the imperial history. Mo Mao Li's face was full of black lines, this is slander, how could he do such a traitorous thing in the Qianguo Mansion, who wants to blame him for the Qianguo Mansion?

"This letter is copied by the official, the authentic letter is in the official's mansion, the official is a kind intention to inform the Duke of Qianguo, someone wants to frame the Duke of Qianguo and how can the official casually face this letter to the saint."

Lei Shizhen had a face that was thinking about the Qianguo Mansion, and his tone was gentle.

Mo Maoli clenched the letter paper tightly, and his face was not good. He was not stupid for what Lei Shizhen did, and it was obvious that he wanted to hold the original letter in his hand and not give it to him, so he copied one to show him.

The corners of Mo Maoli's mouth hooked, and he tried his best to remain calm in front of Lord Yushi, "On behalf of my father, Changli would like to thank my lord for such a careful maintenance. ”

Lei Shizhen waved his hand, "Hey, this official and the Duke of Qianguo are both officials of the imperial court, how can you let a group of villains slander it, the official looks at the prince of the world or is good to find out who wants to frame the Duke of Qianguo." ”

Lei Shizhen smiled, "Although this letter is copied by the official, the handwriting can be the same as that of the original letter. ”

Mo Mao Li couldn't help but smile, this Lord Yushi is really kind to remind him. But he sneered strangely in his heart, Lei Shizhen's intentions, if he really thought about his Qianguo Mansion, why didn't he take out the original letter directly, but gave it to someone to copy, obviously he wanted to drag the original letter in his hand as a handle.

"Chang Li, thank you for your reminder, the Qianguo Mansion will definitely find out this person and will never let it go." Mo Maoli bowed his hands and courtesy, sincere and modest.

"That's good." Lei Shi Detective patted Mo Maoli's shoulder, and smiled kindly, "That official will leave first, and the prince may as well play for a few more days when he comes to Beijing, and then it's not too late to go back to Yunnan to visit." ”

Mo Maoli immediately gave it away. But how could he not understand in his heart, is this Lei Shizhen really thinking about the Qianguo Mansion, and he is dragging the original letter in his hand, I am afraid that he is going to use it to blackmail the Qianguo Mansion for his use in the future.

Mo Maoli clenched his fists, he would never let this happen, he must get the letter back. Who is behind the frame, he must also find out.

On the riverside line where Mo Maoli and Lei Shizhen met, they probably passed through an inlet and entered a mountain village, in a thatched hut in the village, Ye Xuemian, who followed Liu Piaoyi all the way back to Beijing, and the old man were talking secretly at this time.

Ye Xuemian frowned, "Father-in-law is saying that the sect leader won't let me wait for the people of Wushenglou to bring back the owner of the jade bead?" ”

The old man nodded in response, "Well, I received a message from the flying pigeon last night, and the sect leader said that he has his own arrangements, so we don't have to worry about Miss Liu for the time being." ”

Ye Xuemian was puzzled, and lowered her eyebrows, "It's not that the sect leader has been letting his father-in-law and Xuemian follow Runzeyu, I know who the jade beads on Runzeyu's body are rumored to be, and now I know that it is Liu Piaoyi, and he also helped us rob the woman together in Danzhou, although let Runzeyu intervene to take that woman to Yangzhou, didn't he let us go to Yangzhou to bring it back, and now that the woman has returned to Beijing, why don't you let us take care of it?" ”

How could the old man not listen to the sect leader's orders.

"Just do it." He said in a deep voice.

Ye Xuemian also had to listen to the sect leader's order, but in addition to this mission, she also had a wish in her heart for many years, she didn't know how much she wanted to realize this wish, she raised her eyebrows, she asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, can you let Xue Mian see the sect leader?" ”

"Don't you understand this rule, if the sect leader doesn't say to see you, how can you see him." The old man lowered his face, and he was in a trance, and this sentence should not be asked.

Ye Xuemian was cold again, the fluttering figure in white had always remained in her mind, but she only saw the back.

～～～～～～～～～

When Jian Xiu returned to Qingluan Courtyard, he saw that in front of the rockery full of holes, Xingruchen was teaching Miss Liu to learn swordsmanship with a wooden sword in her hand, and she also held a wooden sword in her hand.

The woman's figure is like a dance, and every step is extremely beautiful. I saw her swing her hand forward, turning the hilt of her sword with her wrist, and the sword slowly turned. Gradually, the sword spun faster and faster, rolling up the petals on the ground, and a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the air. In the distance, all the butterflies gathered and flew in this direction, accompanying her in the sword dance......

He was stunned, he didn't want her to dance the sword so beautifully. It's just that the strength is too small, and it feels like it's dancing rather than martial arts.

But when he saw that Xingruchen was about to get close to her handle, the man's jealousy suddenly became sense, and he immediately walked over and coughed lightly.

Xing Ruchen and Liu Piaoyi looked at him at the same time.

Jian Xiu's face made Xing Ruchen immediately take a step back, very interesting.

"What, you want to learn swords?" Jian Xiuwen looked at her with a smile.

Liu Piaoyi glanced at the wooden sword in his hand and smiled, "It's fun to play with the sword." ”

Although she said it was relaxed and casual, Jian Xiu could see the firmness in her eyes. I didn't understand for a while, how she got better.

He smiled at the corners of his mouth, "It's okay if you like to learn, but I can teach you." ”

Liu Piao's clear eyes looked at him, "You also know swordsmanship?" ”

He doesn't usually use a knife.

Jian Xiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Not yet, I won't." ”

What a cocky guy.

Xing Ruchen on the side moved his eyes and smiled indifferently.

After the dinner was used in Qingluan Villa, Jian Xiu didn't want to take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't say that she didn't ask to go back, and the two of them wanted to stay in Qingluan Villa very tacitly.

Miss Liu sat by the window in the attic and looked at the small bronze bell, wiping it with a cloth, cherishing and caring for it. For some reason, she just loved it.

Rubbing the small bronze bell, Miss Liu's mind remembered the jade beads, the jade beads that Runze Yu gave her. She brought it back to Beijing this time, and the person said that she was the owner of the jade bead, but she believed it herself.

Thinking of Runzeyu, she sighed lightly again, stood up and leaned against the window to look at the courtyard.

In the courtyard under the window, there was a man standing with his back to her, with a white robe flying in the wind, like a god descending into the world, his long hair was scattered like ink on the white clothes, and a white belt tied the hair back of his head, giving people an indescribable temperament.

He? Why dress up like this.

In Miss Liu's confusion, the man held the sword in his right hand and swung it, and the sword qi was cold, sweeping across the leaves.

Is he playing a set of swordsmanship to show her, or does he want her to see that his swordsmanship is no worse than that of carrying a knife.

The subordinates in the Qingluan Courtyard all gathered around, standing not far away, and they were very surprised to see that their own adults were dressed up like this and the swordsmanship that had never danced in front of them.

They were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths together.

Everyone knows that the adults are performing for Miss Liu, because today Xingruchen taught Miss swordsmanship, do you want to dance?

Not only do people think so, but Xing Ruchen walks up and looks at the front of him. The corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile in surprise, and he looked at Miss Liu in the attic.

Miss Liu's eyes were obviously surprised by Jian Xiu's actions. I've never seen Jian Xiu used to wearing official uniforms or gorgeous brocade robes, and suddenly he is so secluded, he is simply the kind of fairy who doesn't care about the fireworks in the world and wanders idlely.

On weekdays, he wears an official uniform, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression, making people feel that this person is indifferent and terrible from the heart.

But at this time, he is gentle and lovely and elegant, which is simply unreactive.

After he put away his sword, he raised his head and stretched out his hand to her and said softly, "Come down." ”

Miss Liu's body trembled, and she was shocked by electricity in a trance, and she felt numb all over her body. Could such a wicked person be him?

All eyes looked at Miss Liu, watching her step by step down the stairs and walk in front of Jian Xiu. The afterglow of the setting sun shone between the two of them, on her bewildered eyes.

Xingruchen's eyes darkened unnaturally, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a faint chuckle. He didn't look any further, turned and walked away lightly.

When he came to his medicine room, he frowned lightly and began to study the prescription that could cure her illness when he saw the various herbs and the potions that had been concocted.

Suddenly, a pebble flew into the window, and he just reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

Xingruchen looked at the small pebble in his hand, his expression was leisurely, and he knew very well in his heart that someone was looking for him.
