On the second day after the eldest princess's test ride, Wang Shangshu gave Liu Xinyan a three-day vacation on the grounds that Liu Xinyan had just completed the transformation of the dragon chariot and it was very hard during the period.

Liu Xinyan, who knew that this would be the case, did not have the slightest emotion, packed up his things and went home.

Pushing open the courtyard door, the small courtyard was deserted, and there were no people in the courtyard, and there were no female dependents.

There is no subordinate because Liu Xinyan has been an official for several years, but he is honest and upright as an official, so even in the key position of the foreign officer, who holds the imperial examination, he did not make any money, so Liu Xinyan did not spare money to hire subordinates.

There is no female dependent, because Liu Xinyan is infatuated with Miss Yunling, so he has not married yet.

Liu Xinyan looked around and laughed miserably, it is estimated that he will not be able to live in this small courtyard in a few days.

After all, although this small courtyard looks shabby, it is indeed the imperial capital here, every inch of land is expensive, and it is impossible for Liu Xinyan to continue to rent such a courtyard in the imperial capital without officials or duties.

In fact, Liu Xinyan is also self-aware of his incompatibility in the officialdom.

Therefore, for countless nights, Liu Xinyan sat in the cold courtyard and had countless inquiries.

"A gentleman should be clean and keep the way, and no one in the world will fall into evil!"

This is the answer that Liu Xinyan came up with when he asked his heart, and it is admirable that he has always kept the Tao in his heart.

Although the eldest grandson thinks that Liu Xinyan's thinking is too pedantic, and he usually thinks that he is upright, Liu Xinyan does an impeccable job in terms of being honest and honest as an official.

It's just that officialdom is so complicated, how can a person like Liu Xinyan with a clean heart and a strong personality gain a long-term foothold in it.

It's not necessarily bad for him to quit now.

The eldest grandson thought in his heart, and he didn't know if the idea of the eldest grandson affected Liu Xinyan, Liu Xinyan suddenly saw it, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot.

In the next two days, Liu Xinyan acted as if nothing had happened, as if he really had a short vacation, reading books at home, fiddling with flowers and plants, and for a while he had a trace of the idea of pinning his affection on the landscape after suing the official.

It wasn't until the third day that Liu Xinyan's peaceful life was shattered.

"Knock knock knock ......"

Liu Xinyan was a little surprised, his courtyard door rarely sounded.

When he opened the door, the people who came were his two friends, Li Dong and Zhou Mi.

Even these two best friends rarely come to visit.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Xinyan asked with some surprise.

Li Dong saw that Liu Xinyan was fine, so he relieved himself and said angrily, "What else can you do here, see if you are dead."

Liu Xinyan welcomed the two into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door, not caring about Li Dong's ridicule.

"If you can't be an official, you won't live, so how many people have to die in the court every year."

"Besides, I'm going to die, and this emperor won't have another murder, and he will have to work hard and investigate the case carefully when the time comes."

Listening to Liu Xinyan's leisurely and elegant jokes, the two of them also relaxed their hearts.

"Hey, you're thinking too much about this, you commit suicide like this, I can't even file a case here, so I'll send you a mat and send it away."

A few jokes can make the three best friends forget about the troubles that have happened these days.

The three of them sat around the stone table in the courtyard, prepared a few side dishes, and drank heartily.

After three rounds of drinking, the drunkenness rose slightly, and the troubles that had been forgotten before came to my heart through the wine.

Zhou Mi and Li Dong's expressions were a little complicated, and the three of them married Jin Lan from the time of the scientific examination, vowing to share weal and woe, advance and retreat together, and share blessings and hardships.

However, after entering the officialdom, the three of them understood what it meant to be involuntarily.

The three people who entered different camps, let alone supporting each other in the court, it was not easy to maintain a pure friendship until now.

Zhou Mi looked at Liu Xinyan, with a trace of guilt in his eyes.

Among the three, Zhou Mi mixed the best, but because the three were in different camps, Zhou Mi usually helped the two very much

Few.

On the contrary, Li Dong, although he is only a foreigner, takes a lot of care of Liu Xinyan on weekdays, but the current situation is indeed no longer something that Li Dong can solve.

Zhou Mi raised the wine glass, "Xinhiko, I'm ......"

Zhou Migang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Xinyan.

I saw Liu Xinyan hold down the wine glass that was carefully raised, and then took the initiative to lift a glass and said, "I have something to say to the two of you."

"The three of us brothers took the scientific examination together that year, and we aspired to be the top of the high school rankings. After so many years, how much is left of the bookseller's business back then?"

The two of them were a little ashamed when they heard this, Zhou Mi considered himself mature and stable among the three, and he was thoughtful, while Li Dong was the most clever and clever, only Liu Xinyan was the most like a scholar, although he was proud of himself, but he was also arrogant.

After so many years of officialdom, the two of them have long since changed their previous appearance, and only Liu Xinyan is still the arrogant scholar who dares to shout "Although tens of millions of people go alone".

Perhaps it is this reason that the two of them are always willing to come to this small courtyard to get together with Liu Xinyan for so many years, because he still has his own shadow.

Liu Xinyan didn't mean to ridicule the two of them when he said this, he looked at the two friends for many years with sincere eyes and said, "In the past two days, I have read books and asked my heart, and I gradually realized some truths. In the past, I always thought that "learning to become a scholar and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family" was a lifelong wish of a scholar, but these days I have asked myself to understand that I have read the books of sages and sages in order to "establish a heart for heaven and earth, and a life for the people", and entering the court as an official is just to complete this avenue. Even if I am about to take off this official uniform today, there are still thousands of ways for me to fulfill this long-cherished wish!"

Liu Xinyan's words actually woke up the two of them who were drunk and hazy.

"The three of us brothers are all fellow travelers of the Great Road, but the roads are different, the virtuous brother is here to thank the two brothers for their many years of care, and at the same time, I also want to ask each other to take care of each other in the future."

"Finally, I want to say one more thing, don't defend me in the court."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xinyan drank it all, and the two opened their mouths to say something, but they couldn't say it, and in the end, they could only use wine to extinguish the indignation in their arms.

Liu Xinyan smiled and quipped, "Why are the expressions of the two of you even uglier than my soon-to-be-honored one."

The two of them smiled bitterly, shook their heads and focused on drinking.

Seeing this, Liu Xinyan hugged the wine jug and said, "Just so much wine, drink it like you two, I'm not drunk yet, you two just lie down, who will talk to me."

Only then did the two of them stop what they were doing.

"Tell me, what's interesting in the court these two days."

Li Dong put down his chopsticks and complained: "I didn't say that I wanted to be a scholar just now, but now I care about the court again."

Liu Xinyan said angrily: "After being an official in the court for so many years, how can you start and finish well. Before the day I took off my official uniform, I was still an official of the imperial court! And, what else can I talk about besides talking about the court with you?"

Zhou Mi interrupted the useless bickering between the two and said, "A lot has indeed happened in the court in the past two days. Among them, the most talked about is the murder case of Tang Huai'an, the concubine of King Huai, which we discussed some time ago."

Hearing this, Liu Xinyan's hand trembled unconsciously, and it was the eldest grandson in his body who suddenly woke up.

Li Dong also came to be interested, he was most concerned about these court matters, but during this time, because of the transformation of Long Yuan, he didn't take the time to inquire.

"Yesterday there was a result of this case."

Li Dong immediately rushed to say, "There is a result? What's the name of the champion? Yes, Yun Xuezhi, has the case been solved?".

Zhou Mi glanced at Li Dong, he was about to say that he still had to interrupt.

"Your Majesty has set a seven-day deadline for Yun Xuezhi, and yesterday was the deadline, and Yun Xuezhi of the imperial court made a statement to His Majesty about the trial process of the case. His Majesty was furious and imprisoned Yun Xuezhi in the Criminal Department, waiting to be released."

Liu Xinyan was stunned, Yun Xuezhi was imprisoned?

"What's going on? The case is not solved?"

Zhou Mi took a sip of wine and moistened his throat, as if one of them was very long

Process.

"At yesterday's court meeting, Yun Xuezhi was summoned, this Yun Xuezhi is a talent, and his instrument is extraordinary, and he didn't have the slightest timidity when he met the saint for the first time."

Zhou Mi simply described Yun Xuezhi's appearance and temperament, and Li Dong on the side was a little impatient, and said, "What do you say, who cares about his appearance, and he is not a yellow flower girl."

Who knew that Zhou Mi actually said with a strange face: "He is really more handsome than the big girl......

Liu Xinyan and Li Dong looked at Zhou Mi strangely, and intentionally or unintentionally distanced themselves from him.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person......

"You're so good......

Zhou Mi was stunned for a moment before he realized what the two were saying.

"What do you say, I'm just saying that he's really handsome......

The two of them looked at each other the same.

Zhou Mi didn't bother to explain, so he continued: "This Yun Xuezhi is a little bold, and when he came up, he directly told His Majesty, saying that the murderer was not caught."

"Your Majesty's face is calm, but the ministers below have stopped doing it, and they will impeach him before Yun Xuezhi finishes speaking. But this Yun Xue Zhi is quite a general, and he was unmoved in the face of slander, and he didn't continue to speak until the hall was calm, and when he opened his mouth, he shocked everyone."

"He said that it was the bereaved family who killed Tang Huai'an!"

"What?"

"The Bereaved!"

Li Dong and Liu Xinyan stood up in shock.

The eldest grandson was also a little surprised that it was the relic, but he was even more surprised by the reaction of the two after hearing the word "relict".

This reminded the eldest grandson of the reaction of the Juvenile Sect after hearing the bereaved family when he was in the No. 1 mine.

The reactions of the two are the same, and it can be seen from the behavior of the people after hearing about the bereaved that the people on the mainland are afraid of the bereaved people.

"At that time, there was silence in the main hall, and after a while, Yun Xuezhi ushered in a stormy impeachment, and even some ministers shouted at that time to ask Your Majesty to behead Yun Xuezhi on the spot."

Liu Xinyan and Li Dong can imagine the chaos in the hall at that time, after all, what he said was the remnants of the remnants who broke the peaceful and prosperous era and caused the war of the end times.

In the minds of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, these remnants had already been driven to the edge of the mainland, and Yun Xuezhi actually said that they appeared in the imperial capital in a grand manner, and killed a royal clansman! How appalling!

"This time, Yun Xuezhi did not let these ministers be impeached, but chanted "Please Your Majesty Mingjian". And with His Majesty's permission, Yun Xuezhi also told his analysis of the case. But in the end, His Majesty was furious, thinking that Yun Xuezhi was misleading the people, so he ordered him to be imprisoned and waited for his fate."

After that, Zhou Mi recounted to the two of them the trial process of Yun Xuezhi's case, but there was a little disdain in his words.

Li Dong and Liu Xinyan are accustomed to it, if Zhou Mi gives people the feeling of maturity and stability on weekdays, then when it comes to solving cases, Zhou Mi is sharp and unconvinced.

After listening to this, the eldest grandson roughly concluded in his heart that Yun Xuezhi first identified the suspects of Tang Huai'an's murder based on the dossier obtained from Dali Temple, and these people were all people who had been in contact with Tang Huai'an before and after his murder.

After some interrogation, Yun Xuezhi did not gain anything, and then Yun Xuezhi inspected the scene again, and finally found a spiritual weapon at the scene.

After repeated confirmation, Yun Xuexue came to the conclusion that this spiritual weapon was a spiritual weapon that only the remnants could use, and finally deduced that Tang Huai'an was killed by the remnants.

In terms of the process of the trial of this case, it is no wonder that Zhou Mihui is quite disdainful, in the eyes of the eldest grandson, even he, a layman, feels that there are many loopholes.

Li Dong's focus was on the remnant spirit weapon.

"At that time, the scene was blocked by your Dali Temple for the first time, didn't you even find such a relict spirit weapon?"

Li Dong's question made Zhou Mi's expression a little unnatural.

"Ahem, well, this relict spirit weapon is quite ingeniously made, if you want to identify it, you need to hand it over to the Ministry of Industry, and the person on duty at that time was not familiar with the refining weapon, so I didn't find it."

"What about this cloud science

Did you find it? Could it be that he brought a refiner from the Ministry of Works?"

"Forehead ......"

Li Dong's question was deliberately thoughtful and uncomfortable.

However, Liu Xinyan didn't have the heart to joke with Li Dong at this time, but asked seriously, "What do you think?"

Zhou Mi was stunned for a moment, and then said indifferently: "This Yun Xuezhi has some strength, but it is not much, as for the remnant family...... Nonsense."

Liu Xinyan didn't ask why Zhou Mi thought so, but fell into deep thought: "I also feel that Yun Xuezhi didn't conduct an autopsy from beginning to end, shouldn't he have checked the scene of the crime first?"

Zhou Mi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Xinyan to have such an understanding of solving the case.

"It is true that the scene of the crime should be checked first, and this Yun Xuezhi is also in a hurry, so he interrogated the suspect as soon as he read the file, but found nothing. As for why there was no autopsy, it's not that he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't do it." Zhou Mi explained.

"Why?"

"Tang Huai'an is a royal family member after all......

"But human life is at stake, and at this time, you still talk about the special nature of the clan?"

"Alas, the reason for this is more complicated, after all, those big people don't want Yun Xuezhi to find out about this case, and King Huai, who wants to find out about this case the most, doesn't really want Yun Xuezhi to do an autopsy because of the face of the royal family. In this way, even if Yun Xuezhi is appointed by His Majesty, it will be difficult."

Liu Xinyan nodded, probably understanding the complicated relationship.

Zhou Mi didn't seem to want to talk too deeply about the case, so he changed the subject and said, "Do you know who reacted the most when Yun Xuezhi brought up that Tang Huai'an was killed by the bereaved family?"

Li Dong fell into thought, searching in his mind for the person who was the most disagreeable with King Huai on weekdays.

Liu Xinyan, who was on the side, said without thinking: "Who else can there be, it must be King Huai."

"King Huai?"

Li Dong was still a little puzzled, while Zhou Mi on the other side was a little shocked.

"How do you know it's King Huai?"

"It's really King Huai!"

Liu Xinyan looked at it carefully and explained: "The biggest problem in the Tang Huaian murder case so far is that the murderer does not know who the murderer is, in other words, in fact, everyone can't guess who has the motive to commit the crime."

"Before, King Huai was always in the Ministry of Rites. Tang Huai'an robbed the Ministry of Rites of Autumn Hunting, so King Huai suspected that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had a grudge, so he killed Tang Huai'an."

"But how stupid this conjecture is, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but anyone who has a little brain doesn't believe it. Just an errand made the Ministry of Rites Shangshu mad and kill a clan relative? Who will believe?"

"As for Tang Huai'an's enemy, I believe that your Dali Temple has also checked, and it is estimated that this little clan relative should not have any big enemies, otherwise you would have locked up the suspect and arrested him."

When Liu Xinyan analyzed this, Zhou Mi's expression was already a little serious.

"So, if Yun Xuezhi said that Tang Huai'an was killed by the bereaved family, then what is the motive?"

Liu Xinyan deliberately paused for a moment when he said this.

Li Dong on the side boldly guessed according to Liu Xinyan's train of thought: "Could it be that Tang Huai'an had an affair with the bereaved family, and finally conspired with the tiger and suffered from it?"

"This is what King Huai is afraid of. Regardless of whether Tang Huai'an had an affair with the remnants, or whether he discovered any plot of the remnants, as long as he had the slightest relationship with the remnants, it would be a catastrophe for King Huai!"

Li Dong thought for a moment when he heard this, and figured out what was at stake, so he nodded in agreement.

Zhou Mi looked at Liu Xinyan with some admiration, and praised him: "I didn't expect Xinyan to hide so deeply and be so thoughtful. If you can't be so strong, why can't you be thriving in officialdom?"

Liu Xinyan smiled and shook his head.

And because Zhou Mi finally led the topic to this aspect, the two persuaded Liu Xinyan again, persuading him to restrain himself wherever he went in the future, and the three of them got drunk as they spoke.

I don't know why, Liu Xinyan

The eldest grandson in the body was also drunk, and when the eldest grandson woke up again, it was already a meeting of the sun.

Sure enough, the ministers of the eldest princess's party at the court meeting attacked Liu Xinyan for accepting bribes on the grounds that Yun Xuezhi had cheated in the scientific examination, and made it convenient for him in the scientific examination.

And the biggest handle is that Liu Xinyan once recommended Yun Xuezhi's scientific research articles to the Hanlin Academy, and it is precisely because of this that Yun Xuezhi's scientific research articles were also made public by the ministers in the main hall.

For a while, there was an uproar in the hall again, Yun Xuezhi dared to say that evil thoughts are a kind of aura, and also proposed to improve the evil thoughts cultivation system, isn't this the remnant clan!

Since then, the ministers have become even more convinced that Yun Xuezhi is the remnant of the family, and he should be directly sentenced to death if he tries to disrupt the dynasty with fallacies!

The emperor gave permission!

Liu Xinyan was also implicated by him, the capital crime could be avoided, but the living crime could not be escaped, and he was taken away from his official position on the spot and exiled!

This is the last scene of the eldest grandson in the dream.

Since then, the first dream has ended, and the eldest grandson has fallen into a dream cycle.
