It was already dusk after entering the city. Duanmu asked Miao Tailor to take Ji Ying to wait for him at the Dangfeng Pavilion at the entrance of Chang'an Street, and he went back as soon as he went. Before the Miao Judge could ask where the Dangfeng Pavilion was, Duanmu floated away like the wind.

"This Duanmu doesn't make his words clear. Seeing that it is about to get dark, can't we be sent to the place and then walk? The referee complained.

Ji Ying coughed twice in Miao Tailor's arms and replied, "Don't blame him, I know where the Wind Pavilion is." ”

"You know? By the way, you've lived here before. ”

Ji Ying's heart throbbed for no reason. Yes, she used to live here, and she still knows it so well. After the Dangfeng Pavilion, and then through a small alley, it is the Bowei Hou Li Mansion, her former home.

Seeing that Ji Ying didn't speak, Miao Ying immediately realized his gaffe and was about to apologize, so he listened to Ji Ying explain: "There was a prime minister in the previous dynasty who gave a word before he made a career, saying, 'When the wind is light, borrow strength, and enter the sky in one fell swoop'. This is where the name of the Dangfukan comes from. It is the most famous, luxurious and expensive inn in Chang'an City. This is what Li Chengyu told her back then, and Ji Ying still clearly remembers Li Chengyu's admiration and yearning look when he read those words.

"Huh? Does Duanmu want to stay there? How can we have so much silver? ”

Ji Ying smiled, held Miao Judge's hand and said, "That's why he is in a hurry to withdraw the money!" We have been delayed on the road for so long, maybe Duanmu thinks that it is inconvenient for us two women to live in his house, so he did not go straight to the Congyun Dart Bureau, and the other inns are probably overcrowded, and because of the high price of the Dangfeng Pavilion, there may be fewer people staying at the hotel. However, I'm afraid that Brother Duanmu will have to break the bill again. ”

Hearing Ji Ying say this, Miao Tailor's heart was warm, and her face became rosy. She put Ji Ying half-lying in the seat and drove to the Dangfeng Pavilion.

The car didn't travel long before it stopped. Ji Ying heard the sound of neat running. She lifted the curtain and looked at it, and was taken aback: two teams of patrolling guards surrounded the dilapidated carriage in full gear.

Miao Ju was very flustered and couldn't say a word, and Ji Ying was also a little stunned.

The patrol general, who was at the head of the patrol, pressed his hand on the sword, walked up to the judge, looked at the dilapidated carriage and the red horse that was not in harmony with the carriage, and asked, "Where do you come from?" Who is it? ”

Ji Ying opened the curtain of the car so that the general could see the situation in the car: "My lord, we came to Beijing from other places to take the exam. This is cheap. I wonder what advice the adults have? ”

The general looked at the carriage strangely earlier, and found that the driver was a young woman, and he was still worried, very vigilant, and now he saw that there was only a thin and sick scholar sitting in the carriage, and there was nothing else, his doubts were slightly reduced, and he said: "This official is also acting on orders." is approaching the Spring Festival, but there is a murder, and the official has to be vigilant and forgive me. ”

"Homicide?" Ji Ying coughed twice, and the dull pain in her chest made her eyebrows bulge, "Gyeonggi Heavy Land, how could there be a murder?" ”

"Lord Zhao Jinzhao, a scholar of Longtuge University, was assassinated the day before yesterday and night, and the imperial court issued a strict decree ordering us to solve the case before the spring festival. You ......"

Before the general could finish speaking, he heard a shout: "Brother Yan! Hearing the sound, there were two young men sitting on tall horses, looking at this side happily. The tall man who walked in front was dressed in a concubine-colored round-necked robe, embroidered with a few loose thin bamboos, with a fair complexion and a cheerful face; The other was a little smaller and younger, wearing a light yellow robe, a Pisces jade tied around his waist, and a fur-collared golden tiger coat on the outside, with a smile on his face.

The two approached and dismounted. The man in the concubine-colored robe walked over first, glanced at the dilapidated carriage, and asked, "Brother Yanzhi, you are a dignified general of Dingyuan and the Marquis of Hanzhang, why are you embarrassed to search such a car?" ”

The general first saluted the young man, who smiled indifferently and motioned for him to get up. Then the general looked at the man in the concubine-colored robe, his face was slightly pale, and he replied: "There is such a big incident in the capital, how can you not be cautious?" Try to look at the entire capital, who can be as unofficial and light as you Li Yuhan? ”

Li Yuhan! This person in a concubine-colored robe is Li Yuhan! Ji Ying's head was buzzing. Why, why does she unconsciously tremble at the mention of those familiar names?

How is she going to deal with them?

Li Yuhan's smile was a little stiff, and then melted again, and he didn't seem to take the other party's unintentional words to heart. However, his best friend Qi Wang Zhou Jue, who was standing beside him, noticed the slight change in Li Yuhan, and hurriedly relieved him and said: "We are both people who are used to being carefree, we can't stand the rules and regulations, so it's better to be a comfortable idler." ”

An Ruichen, whose name is Yanzhi, has been a general of Dingyuan for almost two years, and he grew up in the military camp with his father since he was a child, but he also understands the world, especially in these years, he often goes to the East Palace with his father, and he is very good at observing words and feelings. Zhou Jue is the youngest son of the emperor and one of the most favored princes, how dare he be presumptuous. At that moment, he clenched his fists and saluted, as a sign that he did not dare to bear the self-humility of the king of Qi.

Li Yuhan still had a smile on his face, patted An Ruichen's shoulder and said, "I think about it, I haven't drunk with Brother Yan for a long time, wait for a few days for you to take a break, remember to call me, and we will have a good chat." ”

"Good. Is there any news of your brother? ”

Li Yuhan smiled bitterly: "After so many years, there has been no news, it seems that he has long forgotten about me." ”

An Ruichen hammered Li Yuhan's chest heavily and said, "How is it possible! Chengyu is the most righteous, you talk about him like this, be careful that he comes back and beats you! ”

After Li Yuhan and Zhou Jue said hello, they led the horse to leave, and Ji Ying, who had been immersed in various emotions, looked at Li Yuhan, but he didn't want to meet the eyes of the other party, and he was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Li Yuhan didn't seem to take the deliberately evasive gaze to heart, and left all the way in a high-profile manner.

An Ruichen briefly checked Ji Ying's car, and then let them pass.

Duanmu's actions were really fast. As soon as Miao Tailor drove the car to the door of the inn, Duanmu arrived with a black burden, and the three finally met. Since nothing major happened just now, Miao Judge didn't mention anything to Duanmu, but Ji Ying's mood fluctuated a lot after this incident, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy again.

Duanmu took the two girls out of the car, looked back at the carriage he hated the most, and immediately ordered the men of the Dangfeng Pavilion to throw away the carriage and lead the horses to the stable to take good care of them—although he didn't say it, he felt sorry for the old fellow in his heart.

Entering the inn, the three of them glanced at it casually, and they had a lot of ideas: first of all, when the wind hall is indeed as luxurious as the legend, even though it has been in business for nearly 20 years, whether it is decoration or utensils, it is as good as new, every item is exquisite and elegant, but not impetuous and superficial, even the spices burning at the door are fresh and elegant lily fragrance. The guys here are not ordinary, they have all been strictly trained, and whether they serve high-ranking officials and nobles or cloth clothes like Ji Ying, there is no difference. And the guests who come and go here obviously also have their own backgrounds, there are no loud and noisy high-rollers, there are no indulgent and lewd gentlemen, everyone is reserved and low-key in order to show their identity, even if they speak, it is just a few scholars talking about state affairs or reciting poetry.

The shopkeeper had just arranged a room for the two young men and their entourage, and at this time, he was smiling and asking a young man in front of them who was wearing an ink-colored robe and a white jade crown with an entourage. The boy asked for two upper rooms, and his attendant took out a gold ingot from his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's smile didn't get any stronger, but he bowed his body and motioned for the servant to show them the way and entertain them.

Ji Ying has been standing for a long time, and her physical strength is very poor, so she leans on Miao Tailor in a daze. Tailor wrapped Ji Ying's arms around her neck, struggling to support her.

Duanmu was a little anxious, so he took two gold ingots and handed them to the store, asking for two upper rooms. The shopkeeper's face, which had been smiling, was a little embarrassed: "Forgive me, guest officer." The small shop is simple, and at this juncture, thanks to everyone's dislike, it has already started to book, and now there is only one upper room left. I wonder if a few of you can do it? Or...... Well...... There may be rooms in a nearby inn. ”

Ji Ying couldn't hold it anymore and coughed violently. The store's waist is lowered.

Miao Tailor patted Ji Ying's back to give her relief, and Duanmu was anxious in his eyes. He frowned and raised his voice: "Shopkeeper, it's convenient for you." My brother contracted a disease on the road and needed to recuperate. It's getting late, where else can we go to find an inn to stay! Well, do you have a low-class room, a firewood room, so let's settle for the night. ”

"It's not that the villain is unreasonable, it's really that the small shop can't do anything. Don't embarrass the villain. ”

cough cough cough ......

I don't know if the people in the hall were affected by Ji Ying's coughing sound or Duanmu's loud voice, they couldn't stop looking here, looking at the three young people who were dressed out of place here. The atmosphere in the inn was a little stiff.

The guest wearing the white jade crown was full of indifferent expressions, and followed the servant to the staircase slowly. The two young men who had already gone up the stairs stopped, looking back to see how things were developing. The two sons are of the same age. The boy who walked in front seemed to be older, and his light blue shirt was a little thin. Walking behind some lively and active, he can always make the corners of the emerald green clothes swing slightly, he carefully handed over the long piano he was holding in his hand to the entourage, and repeatedly told him, thinking that he loved the piano very much.

Suddenly, the little boy who entrusted Changqin's eyes lit up, jumped down the stairs and stretched out his hand towards Ji Ying.
