Today I did a new work voting survey.,Let's go and click a little bit~To choose the answer carefully~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ this is the dividing line ~~~~~~~~~~ seeking truth from facts

According to Mei Changsu's original plan, he first persuaded King Yu not to interfere to intercede for Meng Zhi, and then went to the Hanging Mirror Mansion to ask Emperor Xia Dong if he intended to let the Hanging Mirror Envoy assist in investigating the case. But now it's a step too late, and most of King Yu has already been fooled and has gone to the palace to add fuel to the fire. At this time, if he makes any moves, he is afraid that he will be regarded as acting for Meng Zhi according to the will of King Yu, so he can only stand still first and wait and see how the situation develops.

On the way back to Su's house, Mei Changsu sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes to rethink the current situation of the whole incident. King Yu's entry into the palace to defend Meng Zhi will inevitably arouse Emperor Liang's suspicion of the commander of the forbidden army, although this suspicion will not be revealed in action at this stage, but at least, Emperor Liang will no longer rest assured that Meng Zhi will investigate the murder of the inner prison alone, but will definitely send a hanging mirror envoy to investigate at the same time. Xie Yu still made this move knowing that the Hanging Mirror Envoy would intervene sooner or later, and he was very confident that he did not leave any evidence at the scene. As a first-class military marquis and the emperor's favorite minister, even if Xia Dong doubts him again, he can't report to the emperor without evidence. What's more, in the current delicate situation of seizing the heir, any accusation that is not supported by evidence will be argued by the other party as "deliberately framed", which will not only fail to achieve the goal, but will be counterproductive.

So now the most critical step is to find evidence, but it is too difficult to do that. The murder method is clean, there are no directional clues, and naturally no physical evidence can be obtained; At the time of the crime, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were no pedestrians on the avenue next to the palace wall, so no eyewitness evidence could be found. Except for the premise that Xie Yu is the real culprit behind the scenes, Zhuo Dingfeng can be investigated in depth, and the entire case is almost impossible to move an inch.

Mei Changsu took a deep breath, felt a little stuffy in his chest, and reached out to lift the side sedan curtain, wanting to take a breath.

It was almost noon, and there were more pedestrians on the street, most of them wearing new clothes, walking in a hurry, holding gifts in their hands, and their faces were full of joy, as if all their worries could be ignored because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Mei Changsu smiled with emotion, and was about to put down the sedan curtain, when his eyes suddenly and inadvertently swept to a young man in a gray robe.

It was a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, of medium stature and ordinary clothing, which could not attract Mei Changsu's special attention. But one thing that made him different from the pedestrians around him was that as soon as he saw the oncoming green cloth sedan chair, he immediately dodged to the side of the road, bowed his hand, and saluted the sedan chair very respectfully.

"Stop." Mei Changsu hurriedly ordered the two guards who acted as his sedan chair driver, ordered them to park the sedan chair on the side of the road, opened the door curtain in front of him, leaned out half of his body, and beckoned to the young man.

The young man was only stunned, then immediately came over half-walking and half-running, kowtowed to Mei Changsu, and said in a low voice: "New Year's greetings to Mr. Su, I wish Mr. a good year in the coming year, and his health is safe." ”

"It's Shu Hong, did you come out alone?"

"Yes."

Shu Hong was one of the two petty sin slaves who were rescued from the palace with Tingsheng. When I first taught these three people the footwork of fighting with Bailiqi, most of them were Feiliu sparring, and Mei Changsu's energy was mostly on Tingsheng's body, and he didn't pay much attention to the other two children. In addition, Shu Hong has a quiet personality and does not like to talk, after entering the Jingwang Mansion, he has a regular life, full of food and clothing, and has grown taller and stronger, so Mei Changsu did not recognize him immediately when he looked at the first few glances.

"I heard that Ting is sick, is he better?"

"The doctor said that the wind and cold have dissipated, and after taking two more doses of medicine, you can get out of bed."

Mei Changsu nodded. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he originally planned to take the three children to the Su Mansion together, but he couldn't get up because Tingsheng was infected, so he gave up. However, he knew that King Jing would definitely take good care of the court students, so he didn't worry too much, and listening to Shu Hong's words at this time, it should be just an ordinary illness.

"Did you come out to buy medicine for Tingsheng?" Mei Changsu looked at the medicine bag in Shu Hong's hand and asked again.

"Yes."

"The three of you have been through hardships together in the palace, you must take care of each other and support each other," Mei Changsu reached out and touched the top of Shu Hong's head, and said softly, "You have to be one or two years older than them, and you must have the responsibility of a big brother."

"Hmm!" Shu Hong nodded heavily, looking at Mei Changsu's eyes full of admiration, "Mr. Su, I have studied and practiced martial arts hard, and I will not let Mr. Su down when I go to the battlefield to earn fame in the future." ”

"Okay, a man should be proud and ambitious, and it will all depend on you to support the society and serve the country in the future." Mei Changsu encouraged and said, "It's cold, you can go back quickly." Remember to take good care of the students. ”

"Yes!" Shu Hong responded on the one hand, and retreated to the side, still standing with his hands down. Seeing that this kid knew etiquette so well, and understood that he wouldn't leave if he didn't go, Mei Changsu smiled at him and ordered someone to get up and continue to move forward.

When he arrived at the sedan chair in the courtyard of the Su Mansion, Li Gang greeted him and helped him, and asked, "Why did the sect master come back so early?" King Yu hasn't been here yet......"

"I know he's not coming today." Mei Changsu hurriedly walked indoors, unzipping his cloak as he walked. Although there was no one in the house just now, the fire kept burning very strong, and the warmth was warm, in case the owner could come back at any time. As soon as Mei Changsu sat down on the soft chair, Li Gang had already ordered someone to wring a hot towel and bring the boiled ginseng soup.

"Has Tong Lu been here today?"

"I've been here. Originally, he wanted to wait for the sect master, but I didn't know that you would come back so early, so I let him go...... Will the sect see him? ”

"It doesn't matter. You inform the Tianji Hall in the alliance, find out as soon as possible which masters Zhuo Dingfeng has been dealing with recently, who of these masters has arrived in the capital, and inform Mr. Thirteen that the swordsmanship masters who are currently staying in the capital, no matter what sect, must closely monitor their whereabouts. The surrounding area of Xie Mansion must be focused on control, and all the actions of Zhuo Dingfeng and his eldest son Zhuo Qingyao must be reported to me immediately. Do you understand? ”

"My subordinates understand." Li Gang had a very good memory, and after repeating it fluently, he immediately got up and went out to give orders.

Mei Changsu leaned back in his chair, picked up a few greeting stickers pressed on the small coffee table at hand and flipped through them, probably some nobles or officials in the Yuwang faction who did not have deep contacts, and sent people to do their best to meet the etiquette. About Li Gang also felt that there was no need to report, so he just pressed it aside and watched it whenever Mei Changsu liked it.

Feiliu walked into the room silently, holding a snow-white carrier pigeon on his arm, his handsome little face was tight, he came to Mei Changsu and handed him the white pigeon, and then sat down on the carpet and buried his whole face on Brother Su's lap.

Mei Changsu smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, took out a paper roll from the letter on the white pigeon's leg and unfolded it to look at it, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, but only in an instant, he regained his depth and tranquility, and casually threw the paper roll into the brazier and burned it.

The little white pigeon was startled by the flames, tilted his head and "cooed" twice. Mei Changsu patted its little head with his fingertips and whispered: "Don't scream, Feiliu will be unhappy when he sees you, and then he will pluck your hair." ”

"Nope!" Feiliu suddenly raised his head and protested.

"But we Feiliu really want to pull it out, but we just don't dare," Mei Changsu twisted his cheeks, "Last time you were locked up in the dark room, wasn't it because you hid a carrier pigeon from Brother Lin Chen?" ”

"No!" Feiliu was so angry that his cheeks bulged.

"I know you won't be in the future," Mei Changsu praised him with a smile, "You are very well-behaved today, although you are very unhappy, but you still brought it to see me, and you didn't hide it like last time......"

"Very well-behaved!"

"Yes, very well-behaved. Go get a piece of paper for Brother Su, and then bring over the smallest pen with some ink, okay? ”

"Good!"

Feiliu jumped to his feet and quickly brought pen and paper. Mei Changsu hung his wrist and wrote a few small characters on the corner of the paper, cut them into small strips, rolled them up and put them in the letterbox, and then handed the white pigeon back to Feiliu.

"Shall Feiliu go and let it go?"

Feiliu moved slowly and unhappily, but after looking at Mei Changsu's slightly smiling face, he obediently carried the white pigeon to the courtyard, threw it into the air, and watched it flapp its wings and circle a few times, and then flew into the distance.

When the snow-white pigeon shadow flew farther and farther away, and gradually became a black dot, Feiliu still looked up and watched. Li Gang walked in from the outside with a gilded greeting post in his hand, and when he saw his posture, he couldn't help but smile: "Feiliu, are you waiting for the fairy to fall from the sky?" ”

"It's not!" Feiliu was a little annoyed when he heard this.

"Okay, okay, you wait slowly."

"It's not!" Furious.

Li Gang smiled and dodged the palm from Feiliu, but as soon as he entered the door, his expression immediately became respectful.

"Sect Master, Gongzi Yan is here to worship."

Mei Changsu stared at the salute and couldn't help laughing: "When didn't he come in directly, when did he pay so much attention to etiquette." I'm afraid I have something to say, please come in. ”

"Yes." Not long after Li Gang withdrew, Yan Yujin walked in quickly, wearing a brand-new sauce-red leather robe, the whole person was still chic and radiant, if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see anything unusual about his expression.

"Yujin is here, please take a seat." Mei Changsu's gaze casually swept over the somewhat faint pink eyelids of his uncle, and ordered Li Gang to send someone to serve refreshments.

"Brother Su, you're welcome." Yan Yujin leaned over to take the tea, and after Li Gang and the servants retreated, he put the teacup down, stood up, and bowed deeply to Mei Changsu.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," Mei Changsu smiled and got up to support him, "You and I are commensurate with each other, not this worship." ”

"Brother Su knows that Yujin's gift is not for New Year's greetings," Yan Yujin said with a rare face, "It was Brother Su who saved the life of the Yan family." ”

Mei Changsu patted his arm, motioned for him to sit down, and asked slowly, "Lord Yan has ...... it"

"My father told me everything last night," Yan Yujin lowered his head, his face was a little pale, "If my father has always neglected me, then as a son of man, I never thought that he had so much pain in his heart, but I am afraid that he cannot be called a filial piety ......"

"It's really gratifying that your father and son can be honest and forgive each other," Mei Changsu smiled gently, "As for the fact that I let Ling Zun go, you don't have to take it too seriously. Recently, the situation has been volatile and turbulent, and I just don't want Ling Zun's behavior to add more variables and cause an uncontrollable situation. ”

Yan Yujin looked at him deeply, his eyes were open, "I don't want to delve into why Brother Su made this decision, but I believe that there is still affection in it." Truth be told, my father still doesn't regret what he planned, but he's still grateful to you for stopping him. It may sound contradictory, but human feelings are so complex, and they are not simply black and white, they can be cut in half. But in any case, the peace of the Yanfu is preserved, I just need to remember Brother Su's intentions, as for other deeper reasons, what does it have to do with me? ”

Mei Changsu looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "You are really smarter than I imagined." Although people may seem a little frivolous, they are a support that you can rely on for your family and friends. ”

"Brother Su has won the award." Yan Yujin looked up and smiled, "What is the fate of all of us in the future, what will happen to us, no one can predict it now, and all we can grasp is this heart." ”

"Well said, it's worth a drink." Mei Changsu nodded, with a slight smile in his eyes, "It's a pity that I'm still taking medicine and can't accompany you." ”

"I've drunk it on behalf of Brother Su." Yan Yujin said happily, got up and went to the outside of the courtyard to find Li Gang to bring a pot of wine, two cups, one in the left hand and one in the right hand, lightly touched the rim of the glass, and the two sips were dry.

"You have such a good relationship with Jing Rui, but your temperament and temper are different." Mei Changsu couldn't help but sigh, "But he also worked hard, and now I'm afraid that he is still at home with his four parents." ”

"He can't go out on the first day of the new year, so he has to be happy." Yan Yujin said with a smile, "Even if I want to find him for entertainment, I have to wait until the second year of junior high school." ”

Mei Changsu glanced at him and said casually: "Then tomorrow, you will also bring him to me to sit down." You see, it's deserted, and I don't have many other friends. ”

"This is natural, Xie Bi is afraid that he will follow. By the way, Xie Xu came back from the academy for the New Year, you haven't seen him yet, have you? ”

"The third son of the Xie family?"

"Yes, although he is young, he reads the best historical articles, Uncle Xie expects him to take the top prize, so he is sent to Songshan Academy to live and study, and only comes back during the New Year's holidays, and every time Brother Qingyao goes to pick him up."

"I heard a legend in Beijing that after Zhuo Qingyao married Miss Xie, Xie Bi is also going to marry the daughter of the Zhuo family?"

"Well, it seems that I heard Jing Rui say that there is such an agreement."

"Xie Zhuo's two families are each other's sons and daughters, and they have Jing Rui, they are really like a family."

"That's right. Although there was a fight for Jing Rui back then, but now it is like a family, and a typical bad thing becomes a good thing. ”

Mei Changsu sighed lightly, did not continue the topic, and casually talked about other trivial matters. After chatting for a long time, Dr. Yan came in with a bowl full of medicine, Yan Yujin was worried that it would hinder his rest, and what he wanted to say had already been said, so he got up and said goodbye.

After drinking the medicine, Mei Changsu leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep for two hours, and after waking up, he received a few inconsequential guests, and then he has been reading a book.

At night, Feiliu set off fireworks in the courtyard again, Mei Changsu sat under the porch and watched him finish, and beckoned him softly.

"You want to put it?"

"No, Brother Su doesn't want to let it go," Mei Changsu smiled and leaned closer to his ear, "Feiliu, let's go and see Uncle Meng quietly, okay?" ”
