Brother Lian was completely stunned, "Capsule, capsule!" she muttered, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "I'm going to see the emperor, Guan Shudu, we're going to see the emperor again." She grabbed Guan Tongsheng and said.

Guan Tongsheng was taken aback by her fanatical eyes, Lian Brother has always been calm and steady since he was a child, and he has never seen her lose her temper. It's just that he was a little out of control when he saw the emperor, and he was not as out of control as he is now.

"Brother Lian, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. ”

"Let's go see the emperor again!"

"Are you crazy? How can the emperor see you when he says he will see you? Be careful that if he is not happy, he will gouge out your eyes again. ”

"But I must go and see him, what should I do?"

Ye Yanshan grabbed Brother Lian's shoulder and asked her, "Brother Lian, what's wrong with you, why do you have to see the emperor?"

His eyes were clear, and she woke up from the shock, "I...... I want to ask the emperor a word. ”

"Ask what?"

Brother Lian took a breath slowly, blinked to hold back the tears in his eyes, and said, "It's nothing, I want to ask him, what is a capsule." ”

Guan Tongsheng said: "The emperor said that if you find out the affairs of the minister, you can go to see him." When the time comes, we will go and ask him together, what is a capsule, if he wants to hurt you, I will protect you desperately. ”

Looking at Guan Tongsheng's worried and sincere assurance, Brother Lian couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, "Nerd, I'm fine, don't worry, I won't let the emperor hurt me." ”

Ye Yanshan said: "Why are you so curious about the word capsule?"

Brother Lian's eyes flashed and said, "I haven't heard of it, I want to ask what it is, aren't you curious?"

Man San said: "I didn't know what it was when I heard it, and after inquiring, no one could tell, anyway, the emperor often does something inexplicable, so don't take it too seriously." ”

Ye Yanshan looked suspicious, he didn't say anything, took a cup of tea and handed it to her, and even his brother took it and drank it silently. The four of them sat in silence for a while, and Man San asked, "Next, I'll inquire about the secrets of the Fan family, what about you?"

After drinking tea, Lian Di suppressed the storm in his heart, and decided to solve the case in front of him as soon as possible, she said: "I wonder how the murderer chose the deceased? ”

"What do you have in common?" Guan Tongsheng asked.

"Lest anyone know. ”

"What do you mean?" Guan Tongsheng asked blankly.

Ye Yanshan said: "It's just killing people with great fanfare, lest others don't know." ”

Guan Tongsheng slapped his thigh, "Yes, I'm really afraid that people don't know that Zhang Mao was killed in public in the most lively place and the most lively time in the capital." Jiang Zhi was in a small county town, and he tortured him desperately in the middle of the night when no one saw him, so that everyone could hear his screams. But why should he do it lest people don't know?"

Ye Yanshan looked at Brother Lian, Brother Lian frowned and thought, Guan Tongsheng also looked at her, and after a while, she raised her head and said slowly: "The copper coin hero wants to make a big deal out of it, wants everyone to know that these two people were killed, and wants everyone to know what is behind the likes of Quan Xiang." Knowing that they are damaging the barrier of the country and making ill-gotten gains, this is the motive of the copper coin hero to kill, the emperor can't punish them, he is here to do the right thing for heaven!"

After hearing what she said, the three of them couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement, when Zhang Mao died, they didn't understand why the murderer was so bold and dared to commit murder in public, Jiang Zhi's torture before his death was also incomprehensible, after Lian Di said, this should be the closest inference to the truth. After all, the existence of the copper coin hero is to do the right thing for heaven.

Brother Lian asked, "What will the copper coin hero do next?"

Ye Yanshan said: "Continue to do the right thing for heaven, how many people are involved in this matter? How many people will he kill?"

Lian Di said: "We don't know how many people are involved, but we already know the third person, and he is likely to kill this third person." ”

Man San said: "Fan Zhijin's father?"

Brother Lian nodded, "Brother Ye and I went to monitor Fan Zhijin's father, according to the killing habits of the copper coin hero, we will definitely start in a crowded place." When he does it, that's when we arrest people. Hurry up and find out where they produce weapons. Guan Shudu, you go and tell the minister of power, Guo Er is not the real murderer, because the killing of the copper coin hero has not stopped, he claims to be the way of heaven, but I don't know what bad things Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhi have done to be killed, ask the minister to be guilty, please give you more time to investigate the case. Before you go, you find two clever people in your mansion to monitor near the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after you meet the Prime Minister of Quan, you can see who he will go to meet. ”

"Understood. Guan Tongsheng nodded excitedly and said, it seems that the case has been solved.

"Let's go, act. Brother Lian took the lead in getting up and walking to the door, and as soon as his hand was on the door bolt, he suddenly stopped and turned back to ask Man San: "Why can you inquire so clearly about what the emperor said?

Man San said proudly: "The brother of one of my brothers is close to the historian, and the emperor's words and deeds are recorded. ”

"Historian?" "The emperors of all dynasties have a person who records history, so as to truly record the emperor's words and deeds and restore the historical truth, but are the words and deeds of the emperor really true?

"You remember, no matter how you hear it, don't add fuel or vinegar when you say it, and don't comment when you're done. ”

"Why?" asked Mansan.

Brother Lian glared at him, "You said that he is not four or six anymore, is that the person who can be provoked? Beware of him cutting your tongue." He pulled the deadbolt and walked out.

No matter how you look at the backyard of Wuzen Temple, it looks like an emergency training base that is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the secrets inside are not something that people outside the courtyard can see. The absurd things about the emperor that have been rumored from the palace all along, I am afraid that they were also deliberately spread under his instructions.

If Ming Xi is also the person who has crossed over, he is even more certain that he will never sit still.

Alas, crossing is also a technical job, and people dress up as a handsome guy, why can't they dress up as a big beauty.

With Ye Yanshan first went to the inn to change his fast catching clothes, the two of them slipped to the outside of the Fan family's mansion, and saw a mutton soup pot shop opposite, so they walked in together and sat down by the window, and asked the boss to serve two mutton soup pots for lunch.

The door of the Fan family's mansion is opposite, the door is wide open, and the carved shadow wall blocks the interior of the mansion.

Two hot mutton soup casseroles were put in front of the two of them, the weather at the end of May had gradually warmed up, and there were few people who came out to eat at noon, and the customers in the store were only two people, Lian Di and Ye Chengshan.

Before he had eaten two pieces of mutton, he saw a column of people and horses slowly coming from the street, led by four people with big shoulders and round waists, riding on horses on full guard, and their eyes swept over the surrounding pedestrians.

Behind the four of them was a middle-aged man in a purple cotton robe, with a big man beside him and four strong men with big shoulders and round waists behind him.

The group did not get off their horses when they arrived at the gate of Fan's Mansion, and rode directly in, except for the purple-robed man, the rest of the people kept looking left and right as if they were facing the enemy, and even Lian Di and Ye Yanshan, who were sitting in the mutton soup restaurant, were stared at several times.

"Heh, what a big battle!" Brother Lian said loudly: "Brother Ye, Li Shanren, the richest person in our village, only has two long-term followers on weekdays, and he also has bodyguards, and the capital is different, this old man has ten bodyguards, all of whom ride big horses." ”

Ye Yanshan raised his head and was only stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded cooperatively: "Well, go back and talk to them, you must think that we are bragging." ”

Sitting listlessly in the corner, the boss listened and said: "It's been like this for the past two days, in the past, Master Fan only had two long-term followers, but in the past two days, I heard that he suddenly received a provocation from an enemy, saying that he wanted to kill him, so he hired such old people to follow him in and out." ”

Brother Lian tilted his head and asked him: "Boss, what kind of enemy has this Master Fan provoked?" The strong men around him look like they are all practicing families, and their skills must not be weak. ”

The boss laughed twice, leaned over and said, "This Master Fan is a powerful person, he developed from a small blacksmith shop, and now he has a big ironsmith workshop. The business is so big that it squeezes all the peers to death, can there be no enemies?"

Brother Lian said to himself: "I don't know if he still recruits bodyguards? My two brothers have come to Beijing and haven't found anything to do." ”

"The two brothers want to be bodyguards, go to the martial arts hall, I heard that Master Fan and these bodyguards are all found there. ”

"Thank you boss. ”

Brother Lian glanced at Ye Yanshan, and the two quickly finished eating the mutton soup pot, settled the bill and walked out. Brother Lian took Ye Chengshan to a narrow alley, and when he saw that there was no one in front of him, he asked him: "Have you ever practiced martial arts?"

Ye Yanshan nodded, "Xi." ”

"Okay, then let's practice. ”

"How do you practice?"

As soon as Ye Yanshan's voice fell, Brother Lian's fist had already hit his eyes, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to open it, Brother Lian didn't give him a chance to breathe, one move after another, and attacked him endlessly, after he made two moves, he stabilized, jumped and moved, and only had the power to parry against Brother Lian's strong attack.

After twenty moves, one didn't pay attention and was thrown to the ground by Brother Lian. He got up all over the ground and said, "I can't beat you." ”

Brother Lian smiled and said, "If you can make twenty moves under me, you can protect yourself by being a bodyguard." Let's go, go to Mansan, and let him arrange for us to enter the Fan Mansion as bodyguards. ”

Ye Chengshan followed Lian Di out of the alley and arrived at a teahouse, Lian Di took Ye Chengshan up to the second floor, and found a place where he could see the lobby downstairs and sat down.

On the stage in front of the lower stage, an old man who was commenting on the story was spitting and telling the story of how the virtuous king opened a warehouse to release grain and relieve the victims, and the people listening below nodded their heads and praised.

Brother Lian listened and said: "A person who worries about the country and loves the people all day long, does his best, and is famous." One does not do his job, ignores state affairs, and is absurd and naïve. Unconsciously, the scale in the hearts of the common people will be tilted to the one they admire. Brother Ye, if so, which one would you support?"

Ye Yanshan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Brother Lian stretched out his finger and poked at the sky, and smiled, "I hug that one." ”

"You didn't think that way the other day, what made you want to support a ridiculous person?"

"Ridiculous? I'm afraid that he deliberately gave the impression to the world, but in fact it is deeply hidden. ”

"You've only met him once, and you haven't spoken a few words to him, so why do you think he's hidden? I also know a few old ministers, and I've met him many times, and they all said that that man does things on his own terms, and he can't be inferred by common sense, and don't want to ask him to become a wise man, and he doesn't dictate to the government, which is a great luck. ”

Lian Di said: "A ridiculous and naïve person will not have firm and meaningless eyes, he can use exaggerated words, movements, and expressions to show his childishness, but his eyes can't deceive me." The backyard of Gozenji Temple is by no means a simple place to practice, and I don't know what kind of secrets are hidden inside, but I just think it must not be simple. ”

"How can you feel this way?"

Lian Di lowered his voice, and the heads of the two came together, "I heard that the man brought 5,000 Praetorian Guards to Wuchan Temple, but I saw a few except a few halfway up the mountain, from the time I entered the temple, I didn't see a single Praetorian Guard, where did those people go? On the edge of the open space where polo is played, there are some thumb-thick ropes, nets, and thick logs, and the outer circle of the open space is a row of footprints, not the horseshoe prints of playing polo. At the time, I thought it was strange, but I didn't think about it, but then I remembered it and realized what it was for. ”

"What are you for?"

"For training soldiers. ”

Ye Yanshan listened and looked at Brother Lian and said, "This is the reason why you support him, do you think he is deeply hidden, and you think that he has the strength to compete with King Xian?"

Unexpectedly, Brother Lian shook his head, "No, I supported him because for so many years, no matter how ridiculous he was, there have never been rumors of his brutal actions and torture and killing palace people, and his absurdity has never caused the people to suffer any losses." So that man was actually a merciful man. ”

Ye Yanshan looked at Brother Lian, his eyes were full of surprise, he lowered his head and drank a cup of tea silently, and asked: "The virtuous king is famous and has many supporters, but you choose the one with a bad reputation, although you see through the truth, others don't know, aren't you afraid of losing your life?"

So what we do must be done quietly, and we must not let Kwon Xiang and others find out. Guan Shudu is on the bright side, he can't avoid it, so he just needs to investigate his case like a stunned fly. ”

Ye Yanshan couldn't help but laugh and said, "If Master Guan didn't help him, wouldn't he be blind." ”

The two drank a few more teas, and Ye Qishan asked Brother Lian, "You don't often come here to drink tea?"

Brother Lian snorted, "It's very interesting to listen to people gossiping about the market here." ”

Ye Yanshan turned his head to look at the tea guests sitting in the lobby on the second floor, and two middle-aged scholar-looking people chatting at a table not far from them.

"Has your daughter found a good mother-in-law?"

"She's only thirteen this year, and it's never too late to decide in two years. ”

"There will be a draft in the palace this year, so be careful to select it to the palace. ”

"Aren't all drafts selected by the young lady of the eunuch family?"

"I heard that many of the official masters are trying to marry off the young ladies in the family, and those who are not old enough are engaged first. ”

"Why don't you want to marry the royal family, that's a great honor, if you can honor the world, then it's the uncle of the country. ”

"Uncle Guo is only afraid that it will not be good, listen to my maternal uncle's relatives, the emperor is 20 years old this year, and he should have married the queen four years ago, but the official eunuchs with status and status did not have a daughter of the right age, so they dragged it down, and only selected a show girl from the official's family once in the past few years. The show girl who was selected into the palace has not been registered as a concubine until now, and I heard that the emperor only pampers a personal palace maid every day, and ignores all the other women in the palace. ”

"Yes, it's a pity that the draft of the heavenly family is not my turn to wait for the merchants, if I can enter the palace to wait for the emperor, it will be a great blessing for my daughter. ”

"The emperor doesn't favor those show girls, wouldn't it be a widow to send them to the palace, don't think about it. ”

The two of them talked about other things.

Brother Lian listened to Ye Yanshan, "I bet that the one who spread these ridiculous news outside the palace is either because he doesn't like women and good men, or he doesn't want the daughter of any official family to become his concubine." ”
