Lian Di just fell asleep last night, Wanqing knocked on the door and woke her up, she also heard the conversation between her mother and Lian Jie, and she didn't know how Wanqing admired her. Guan Tong was born, let him have more contact opportunities with Wanqing, it is best to cook raw rice and mature rice, won't Wanqing get married smoothly.

Thinking of this, she immediately put on a smile on her face, and called into the big black with a loud voice, "Go and find the fourth lady, go quickly." ”

Turning his head and saying to the two of them: "There are many courtyards in the house, after the eldest sister, second sister, and third sister got married, the yards are now empty, let the fourth sister arrange someone to clean up for you, don't be polite." ”

Ye Yanshan said: "I don't have a place to live, just a wing room in my brother's courtyard." ”

Brother Lian refused: "That's not good, you are a guest when you come to the door, how can you wronged Brother Ye to live in a side room?"

After a while, Lian Jie wore a light blue flowing cloud dark flower pleated skirt, walked in gracefully, and blessed Guan Tongsheng shyly: "I've seen Guan Gongzi." ”

Guan Tongsheng hurriedly returned the salute, "Fourth Miss, I'm bothered." ”

The two have known each other for a long time, and they have played together since they were young, but they are different from men and women when they are older, and they gradually become alienated. Her engaged husband, Zhao Qianyuan, is also a student of Luming Academy, two years older than Guan Shud.

Brother Lian explained the intention of Guan Tongsheng and Ye Yanshan, Lian Jie nodded, and turned around to make arrangements.

Breakfast was set up in Brother Lian's room, and before the three of them sat down to eat, they heard the courtyard door being slammed open again, and Brother Lian was so angry that he put down his chopsticks and shouted: "Did the door of my Jiantong Courtyard have a grudge against you two in my life?"

Man San's lazy voice sounded in the courtyard: "I'm tired of the master, Da Hei, Brother Lian is eating breakfast, right? Go and get a pair of chopsticks for the master." When I entered the door, I saw three people sitting in the room, "Heh, I thought I arrived early, but I didn't expect there to be any earlier." ”

Guan Tongsheng said to him: "If you come, sit down quickly, this is Chengye Lingshan of Daxing County, who is assisting us in investigating Zhang Mao's case." ”

Man San Chong Ye Yanshan bowed, and Guan Tongsheng said: "We are going to investigate the case with Brother Lian, and we have moved to this mansion, do you want to move over?"

Man San shook his head and said, "My cousin is here, I'm not at home, how boring she is." ”

Da Hei brought him a pair of dishes and chopsticks, he sat down unceremoniously to eat, and even his brother couldn't help this person, so he reached out and knocked on the table and said, "You came here early in the morning about what you asked you to inquire about last night, you should have inquired, right?"

"Of course, can the young master inquire about it?" Man San suddenly couldn't help but smile as he spoke, lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what demon moths are coming out of our saint today?"

Brother Lian glared at him, and really wanted to knock two hammers on his head, Guan Tongsheng was already interested in leaning over and asking, "What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Ye also pricked up his ears curiously.

"Yesterday afternoon, the emperor's four-legged Taifu suddenly spoke, said a word Amitabha, our emperor was ecstatic, bluntly said that this is the Bodhisattva's revelation, last night five thousand Praetorian Guards escorted, overnight out of the city to Wuzen Temple for the four-legged Taifu to chant the scriptures. ”

"Tsk," Guan Tongsheng shook and sighed, "Are all the officials in my court all decorations? ”

Man San asked Ye Yanshan: "Does Brother Ye know the allusion of the four-legged Taifu?"

Ye Yanshan nodded slightly, and Man San said: "Look, it's not only people in the capital who know it, even people in Daxing County know it." ”

Two months ago, he suddenly drafted a holy decree in person, named his dog as the emperor of Langli, and the official worshiped the position of Taifu, enjoying a good fortune, because the dog cured his hydrophobia and taught him to swim.

Brother Lian knocked on the table, "The emperor's interesting matter will be chatted about another day, and the things that were arranged for you last night are now hurry up, the case is there, how can Prime Minister Zuo let us investigate slowly?" San'er said first. ”

Man Sanman said nonchalantly: "Isn't it Zhang Mao? There are more than 100 retainers in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, all of whom have come to him over the years, but they are actually diners, and there are many capable people who know astronomy, geography, and have the talent of the heavens and latitudes, but they have not taken the test to gain fame and want to take the shortcut recommended by the prime minister. ”

Guan Tongsheng said: "There are also many such people in the Xianwang Mansion, most of them are together to chant poetry and discuss wealth, drink and have fun, but a group of sycophants, capable people are rare. ”

Brother Lian said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, the minister is very nervous about Zhang Mao's death, this retainer is not just for flattery for him." ”

Ye Yanshan asked, "How do you know that the power minister is nervous?"

Brother Lian said: "Yesterday in front of Zhang Mao's corpse, his hands were exposed, and the micro-expression not only refers to the expression on the face, but also the body. She turned her head and asked Man San: "Zhang Mao's status in the Prime Minister's family is not simple, right?"

Man San said with admiration: "You guessed correctly, that Zhang Mao was a retainer of the minister of power on the surface, and he was just drinking and drinking tea with the minister all day long, but he was actually a figure in his staff group. This person has been following the prime minister for 30 years, but he is very low-key, and at least half of the political opinions put forward by the minister in the court over the years come from him. ”

Ye Yanshan said in surprise: "Half? Such an important advisor, I have never heard anyone talk about it before, since you are low-key like this, how did you find out?"

Man San smiled proudly, "As long as there are people, there will be a circle of relatives and friends, as long as there are other people in the circle, there will be other circles, a circle of relatives and friends will be a circle of relatives and friends, as long as I find someone in one of the circles, I can inquire about what I want to know in other circles." ”

Ye Yanshan listened to his high arguments and couldn't help but look at him twice. Looking at the rough person, I didn't expect this ingenuity.

Brother Lian and Guan Tongsheng were already surprised, and Brother Lian asked again: "What evil thing did Zhang Mao do to let the copper coin hero chase and kill him?"
