Back in the capital, Ye Yong lived a quiet life.

As for the scholar and the Taoist, he never saw it again.

I also went to the teahouse a few times, but I heard people talking about kappa in such and such a place and such and such a river, which caused the boats on the river to capsize. Or there are frequent rumors in the countryside about five ghosts carrying sedan chairs, hundreds of ghosts walking at night, etc., and so on, and I feel bored after hearing too much, so Ye Yong basically stopped going.

The words of ghosts and gods, Ye Yong has always scoffed.

This kind of idleness is extremely difficult for Ye Yong.

However, under the imperial court, the aftermath of the killing at the beginning of the year was still there, the rare stability of the capital, and the heavy snow at the end of winter was not too late, so the famine this year was not too serious, and the imperial granary was enough to deal with it.

In this way, there are only some small cases of stealing chickens and dogs that cannot be put on the table, such trivial matters, and the credit of the size of flies has been done, it is not a fart to say, it can't be done, and it is rare for you to be clean when you are scolded by the root of your ears!

After such a long time, Ye Yong became more and more impatient, and such impatience lasted until the sixth year of Yongzheng, when in September, Hunan Confucian Zeng Jing heard that Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, had a heavy army, and was not trusted by the imperial court, so he stopped the sedan chair and submitted a letter, encouraging Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, to rebel, and then Yue Zhongqi was folded and played, and Emperor Yongzheng sent someone to arrest Zeng Jing into Beijing.

Later, under interrogation, Zeng Jing confessed, saying that he believed in Lu Liuliang's book to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and corresponded with Liuliang's disciples Yan Hongkui, Zuo Zhaoming and others.

Yongzheng was murderous to the remnants of Liuliang.

In October of the seventh year of Yongzheng, Emperor Yongzheng compiled the words of the dialogue with Zeng Jing as "The Mystery of the Great Righteousness", and sent Zeng Jing to preach with the court officials to the state capitals to refute and expose the remnants of Lu Liuliang, and then Zeng Jing was acquitted!

At the same time, the literary prison was greatly revitalized, all the writings of Lu Liuliang were burned, the deceased students and disciples were killed in public, and those suspected of being involved in Liuliang were executed, the clansmen were executed, and the grandchildren were sent to Ningguta as slaves......

This case is so big and lasts for a long time, it is rare in ancient times, and what disappoints Ye Yong is that such a big case, such a good opportunity for meritorious service, but because of his humble status, he Ye Yong has not even been qualified to participate from beginning to end.

And just when Ye Yong's enthusiasm was getting cold, Emperor Yongzheng personally issued a provincial sea fishing document at the beginning of the following year, and one of the portraits rekindled Ye Yong's hope.

The portrait is a monk!

When Ye Yong made up his mind and tried his best to catch this thief monk, from the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital to the ordinary people, they all turned their attention to the triennial examination, and when they saw the scene of the scholars lining up to enter the tribute courtyard, Ye Yong only clenched the handle of the knife in his hand lonely.

When others leap into the dragon gate, they are like a loach that can't struggle in the quagmire.

When the apricot blossoms bloom, they will try to open the list, Ye Yong led the officials to guard on both sides of the street, and among the officials who issued the list in front of the Gongyuan, the leader was Mr. Zhu Ruozhan, Ye Yong straightened his body, but Mr. did not look at him.

The gold list in Mr.'s hand, Ye Yong's eyes were sour.

The title of the gold list, Jinshi parade street.

Ye Yong never thought that among the group of scholars who were dressed in red embroidery and proud of the spring breeze, they would actually see that familiar scholar.

The scholar was also looking at him, his expression was pleasant, he smiled and arched his hand at him, Ye Yong's face flushed, and he turned his head away with difficulty, but Ye Yong didn't see that person.

Later, I inquired and learned that this scholar's surname was Yuan.

That night, Ye Yong was hungover again, and in his drunkenness, he swore that he would arrest the thief and monk on the portrait!

In the autumn of this year, there began to be rumors in the capital that the demon fog reappeared, especially in Hunan, and even in the bright day, there were also ups and downs in the demon fog.

At the end of autumn, the leaves fell, and Ye Yong took the officials on a tour, but met the scholar who was about to leave Beijing again in front of the city gate.

The scholar was stunned, smiled slightly, and flicked his sleeves to say goodbye.

After the scholar left, his servant said, "Chief, do you have a relationship with this Lord Yuan?" ”

Ye Yong was at a loss: "Lord Yuan? ”

The official looked envious: "Yes, I heard that the emperor favors this person, and the other Zhongbang Jinshi are all waiting candidates, but only this Lord Yuan was given an official position by the emperor himself!" I heard that he was going to Hunan to be the county magistrate, and he will soar in the future, so it will be no problem......"

Ye Yong was silent.

At the beginning of this winter, under the sudden cold, Ye Yong had a cold and recuperated at home, but he listened to the extreme hustle and bustle outside, and he didn't care at first, but he didn't want to have his subordinates knock on the door after a while, his face was eager, someone in Xuanwumen was making trouble, and he was going to die when it was late, Fu Yin sent me to find you.

Ye Yong didn't dare to delay, and went with the servant.

On the way, Ye Yong asked what happened to the officer? Why is there such a riot in the capital?

The official shook his expression, smashed his mouth and said with a smile: "Boss, Guanghe Tea Garden has newly invited a drama troupe, and ...... will you enter the city today?"

Hearing this, Ye Yong was a little displeased.

Seeing Ye Yong's face, the official hurriedly answered: "It is said that the head of this troupe has the appearance of the country, but he is not easy to show people, and the people in Beijing crowded at the city gate to see his face, so there was a dispute!" ”

Ye Yong clenched the knife tightly and sneered: "It's just a joke, it's really embarrassing to make such a fuss!" ”

When Ye Yong rushed over, there were already a lot of people blocked at the city gate, and the carriage of the theater troupe in the middle couldn't move, so all the people outside the city gate were blocked, Ye Yong's official took a water and fire stick to disperse the crowd, and used a big shackle to lock up some people who were arguing and making trouble, but the horse who didn't want the troupe was frightened, rampaged, and went straight to Ye Yong, Ye Yong was in a hurry, drew a knife and cut off the horse's legs, the frightened horse was in pain, and fell to the ground with a long neigh, but a figure fell out of the carriage and was grabbed by Ye Yong.

Stabilizing his figure, Ye Yongzheng met the other party's eyes, and when he saw the person in front of him clearly, the look on Ye Yong's face suddenly froze.

The veiled woman in Tsing Yi looked extremely calm, only bent down, made a regular salute, and was helped away by the troupe without saying a word of thanks.

Ye Yong looked at the woman in green clothes with a panicked expression, and then ordered someone to carry away the dying horse on the ground.

When the crowd dispersed, Ye Yong also led people to withdraw.

Before leaving, his subordinate asked Ye Yong: "Boss, where are you going?" ”

Ye Yong said lukewarmly, grab the medicine.

Wind and cold is a disease, it is not big, but it is not easy to despise it, but it is dizzy, and the torture is terrible, and he took the medicine from the pharmacy, Ye Yong hesitated for a moment, and did not go back to his residence in the end, but turned around and went to the direction of the tea garden.

And behind the stage in the tea garden, the woman in Tsing Yi, who was sitting on makeup, took out a stack of square paper from her arms, spread it out, pointed to the wanted monk and asked, "Mr. Zuo, the brother you are talking about, but he?" ”

Mr. Zuo put down the eyebrow pencil in his hand, looked at the portrait for a moment, and nodded: "It should be!" If he helps, the girl's affairs should be like a tiger's wings! ”

The woman in Tsing Yi frowned, and her expression gradually dimmed: "That's it, he is already a monk, and he has never had any contacts, so he rushed to find it, just afraid of extraneous branches!" ”

With that, he threw the portrait into the charcoal basin and was reduced to ashes in an instant.
