On the university scholar Liu Guanfu, the style of Liu's mansion is still much more spectacular than many Yin rich people's houses, the gate of the vermilion lacquer copper ring, the steps of the stone building, the door is tied to the horse stone on the left, the door is hung on the right lamp pole, the white wall of Daiwa is white, the high wall is deep in the courtyard, the eaves are winged and, and it is magnificent.

Liu Guan has been pretending to be sick recently, and generally speaking, when a scholar is sick, the emperor will send someone to visit him and give him a meaningful condolence. In order to show the grace of heaven, the harmony of monarchs and ministers.

But Zhu Di is a man who watches the fire, is arbitrary, never likes to be coerced by ministers, ignores him, makes Liu Guan so angry that he vomits blood, scolds in his heart, scolds Chen Yuan for being a courtier, flattering and confusing the emperor, Zhu Di is a faint king, and the Ming Dynasty is about to be made into a miasma.

During his "illness", Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji all came to visit, Liu Guan put in a lot of effort, his face was pale, his anger was like a gossamer, and he had more air and less air intake, which scared Yang Shiqi and them.

Yang Shiqi's eyes were desolate, and he only said that Liu Guan was like this in order to fight for himself for a breath, and said with a desolate smile: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the old man is shallow in learning, lack of knowledge, and can't complain about anything. ”

Liu Guan knew that Yang Shiqi had misunderstood, and he was even more proud in his heart, he actually wanted to simply use the identity of a scholar to blackmail Zhu Di and hit Chen Yuan, he couldn't get used to seeing a Tian She'er gaining power, and pressed himself, but he was also good friends with Wang Dao, and there were many marriages, Chen Yuan pressed the Wang family so badly, even the prince was cautious, and he changed people when he promoted the Wang family.

In many ways, Liu Guancai went off the rails and pretended to be sick.

"Heaven - there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky - old - " Liu Guan trembled and stretched out his hands, weak and weak.

Everyone looked at Liu Guan, who was dressed in white and had a haggard face, and was speechless. Xia Yuanji sighed and said: "Seeing that Jiangshan Sheji does not know who is defeated, the traitor is in charge, the government is not in trouble, Your Majesty does not listen to the advice, the old man has the ability to assist the king, and he is ashamed of the people and the world." ”

Jian Yi said: "You don't have to be so sad, Chen Yuan is young and not frivolous, what he is doing now is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no need to worry about the sky." ”

Jin Youzi said: "Yizhi, among the courtiers, who doesn't know, as far as you are impressed by Chen Yuan, your daughter has a lot to do with him——"

Jian Yi argued: "This is true, but I have been an official with you for many years, and it is appropriate to be in the same dynasty, everyone knows my character, and they are all based on the truth, Dongli knows best, we are wholeheartedly for the Ming Dynasty, who will have selfish intentions." ”

"I'm afraid you want that Chen Yuan to be your fast son-in-law-"

"Heaven is clear, I am righteous-"

Yang Shiqi saw that it was getting more and more intense, and said awe-inspiringly: "Okay, don't say it, we are dignified scholars, full of poetry and books, for the country and the people, Bachelor Liu is sick in bed, but we are hurt by a Chen Yuan, what kind of system, we don't say a word, focus on the country, and focus on the country." ”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly when they heard this, yes, for the sake of a farmer, several of them were disgraced and suspicious of each other. reassured Liu Guan again and again, and at the same time went to report his situation to Zhu Di, Zhu Di was not in a good mood, snorted, and did not send anyone to visit after all.

After Yang Shiqi and the others left, Director Wang arrived, and Liu Guan was still out of breath.

Director Wang smiled: "Yi Zhi, there is no one else here, so don't hide it from me." ”

"Ah, you?" Liu Guan ate and ate.

"You pretend to look very similar, but you lie under the quilt without even taking off your boots, sweating all over, although your hands are weak, but your fingers are ruddy, you don't look like a terminally ill person, but like someone suddenly broke in, and you don't have time to lie on the bed and pretend to be sick."

was recognized, Liu Guan was not embarrassed, he lifted the quilt and sat up, alive and vigorous, how could he look like he was going to die or live, and loosened his muscles and bones: "Today's day is big, and a few layers of quilts have been added, and the old man is about to die of heat." Suddenly, his face was ugly, "Degui, since you can see it, what about Yang Shiqi and them?" ”

"They are all old foxes, and it is impossible to hide them all, but they either know it, or they will support Yi Zhi, and they will definitely intercede with Your Majesty."

"You're right, we are all official eunuchs, and they won't be willing to let a farmer gain power." Liu Guan said gloomily, "How about the news from the north?" ”

"Our people have news that Chen Yuan is not dead yet, it turned out that he fell into the hands of the Qingzhou White Lotus Sect?"

"Oh? White Lotus Sect? ”

"Exactly, Lin San, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, had bad intentions, robbed the government of grain, and was caught by the King of Han, and the White Lotus Sect captured Chen Yuan, hoping that His Majesty could put pressure on the King of Han and exchange Chen Yuan for Lin San."

"In exchange for Lin San." Liu Guan sat on the edge of the bed and clapped his hands hatefully, "In this case, send someone to Qingzhou quickly, and you must not release Lin San." ”

"Nanjing to Qingzhou is thousands of miles apart, from the news to the news, it has already been wrong."

Liu Guan hated and said: "Then what to do, this is a great opportunity." ”

Wang Dao said gloomily: "How can my nephew's revenge not be avenged, rest assured, Lin San." There is absolutely no way to get out of prison alive. ”

The two looked at each other with a cruel and sinister smile.

Chen Yuan was escorted by them to the stone shack.

When I looked at it, I saw that the place I was in at this time was halfway up the mountain. The mountain is also very high, and from a distance, it seems that you can't see the top. Easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a military location.

The mist in the mountains slowly rises and encircles the mountainside.

Tang Sai'er took Chen Yuan and walked straight to the mountain, and when he reached the top of the mountain, his eyes were full of scenery, and he was on the top of the mountain. There are rows of houses, hidden in the green hills and green trees, and if you don't look closely, you won't notice it.

Tang Sai'er said: "Lord Chen, I want to wronged you for a few days, and I will stay here for the time being." After three days, the government will release my father-in-law, and we will let you out. ”

Chen Yuan sat on the stool and looked around for a long time, as if he was in his own home.

When Bin Hong saw it, he was angry: "Holy Mother, why are you so polite to him?" ”

He didn't know that Chen Yuan was actually deliberately angry with him. You abuse the captives, your life is in your hands, and I won't let you fish and meat, I have to be angry with you, Chen Yuan thought so.

Tang Sai'er was worried in her heart, and sighed: "We built this stone village so that our fathers and villagers can survive and not be oppressed and displaced by the government. Chen Yuan is a rare official who does things for the people, and we must preach morality and not harm him. ”

Chen Yuan sneered.

Bin Hong said angrily: "What are you laughing at? ”

Tang Sai'er also looked at him curiously.

Chen Yuan said unhurriedly: "It's nothing, I just heard a funny joke, a dignified thief, killing the official mansion, robbing food, and actually preaching morality." ”

If the general is forced to fall into the grass, Chen Yuan still sympathizes. But he knew that Tang Sai'er and the others were not worthy of sympathy, and the White Lotus Sect was originally to deceive the people, pretend to be gods, and say anything to treat them, but in fact, the disease became more and more serious, and they were given chronic medicine, and in the end, they were inseparable from their teachings, preaching their teachings everywhere, and achieving their goal of fighting against the government.

Zhu Gaoxu is not good for the people, and the White Lotus Sect is not a good bird.

"You? Are you a general rogue when we are? Bin Hong slapped his sword on the table angrily, he was much frightened, and this time Chen Yuan didn't bother to raise his eyelids.

"Isn't it?"

Tang Sai'er said lightly: "You don't have to find a way to provoke us, it won't do you any good." It doesn't matter what kind of people we are. ”

Chen Yuan said leisurely: "Miss Sai'er, why don't we make a bet." ”
