Lingxiao Temple covers an extremely large area, and it took nearly a year to build it alone.

The layout inside is the design drawing of the Ministry of Engineering.

With such a boundary, if you want to be in a prosperous place in the city, it is difficult to do it in the palace.

It is precisely because of this that the restaurant that is open next to Lingxiao also seems a little remote.

Although a dish of grilled beef can attract many diners, it is much cleaner than the popular restaurants in the city.

Especially the private room on the third floor, only a few people can afford to rent it, and even fewer people come here from time to time.

Today, when Fang Congwen came, only the light was on in this private room.

Before he could go in, he heard a voice talking inside, and it was him who was talking about it.

"You said a long time ago not to wait for me, it's just that you insist on waiting like this, and now you have to blame me for waiting."

Obviously, there are people who are very familiar with each other, so they can speak so casually.

"Mr. Fang, you are finally here, I told you earlier that you will definitely fall in love with this roasted beef, as if I was lying to you."

One of them, a middle-aged man with a beautiful beard, stood up with a smile on his face.

He is the newly appointed Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one of the Little Jiuqing.

But it can be seen that although his tone is ridiculous, in fact, the other party respects Congwen very much, and these words are a little intimate.

Fang Congwen said with a smile: "When I was a child, I knew that I loved calligraphy and food the most.

Now you have learned to tempt me with this."

Fang Congwen said as he greeted the other two people.

It seems that he also has a good relationship with the other two people, but it's just not as close as this Zuodu Yushi.

"I used to study in the south, but how many times did I go to my husband's house with a cheeky face, and I thought hard about hoping that my husband would accept me as a student.

However, Mr. He swore in his early years that he would only receive so many in his life, and in the end, I still didn't have that blessing, but I was lucky to have Mr.'s guidance."

Speaking of this, the other two people said, "Who in the entire capital didn't know back then, Brother Fang didn't want to get the champion at all, but he didn't want to win the champion at all."

mentioned the events of that year, Fang Congwen's old face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's just that you were young and ignorant at the beginning, don't mention it again, if your state of mind is at that time, you will definitely not be so young and frivolous."

But these words aroused the curiosity of Zuo Du Yushi, "How did you say this? I never knew about it."

"I heard that someone thinks that Tanhualang's name is better, and for the sake of a certain girl's heart, he specially asked His Majesty to order him to do Tanhua.

Hearing others say this, Zuo Du Yushi suddenly remembered, "It turns out that Mr. Fang and his wife still have such a touching past, hahahaha, they are really affectionate people."

Fang Congwen hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, sat down and directly sandwiched two chopsticks before putting them in the bowl, "Are you still here to eat today?" You don't eat such a big table of dishes, and you still talk about the old sesame seeds and rotten grain?"

The two elders laughed, and then raised their glasses together, "The three of us are also classmates in the same department, and it is rare to get together at this time, so we should have a drink first."

Fang Congwen also casually picked up the wine glass in front of him, but shouted in his mouth, "You people are really, you don't cherish the food in front of you at all, these things have to be eaten while they are hot.

Where can you taste the original taste of these dishes after you take a sip of wine like this?"

Saying this, the other three people were stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Yes, yes, it's all those of us who don't understand elegance and don't understand the uniqueness of these delicacies!"

The three of them also put down their wine glasses as they spoke, picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

After one

After a while, one of them finally spoke: "Senior brother, you are so attached to this delicacy, but you still let go of your idle days, and came to the capital, and the foolish brother admires you."

The expression on Fang Congwen's face slowly became serious, and he chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth carefully before taking a sip of wine.

"What I really admire is me, what kind of temperament the two of you are, what kind of life you really want, I know in my heart.

Now because of my words, you have all come to the capital, which is enough to explain your ambition, we are all past the age of sixties, and when it comes to this, I am not as good as you."

The two hurriedly waved their hands, "If you say that, you don't take our friendship for the past few years seriously."

It was not until this time that Zuodu Yushi knew that the three of them were actually the same family.

And before that, he didn't even know at all, and even only knew that they were Jinshi in the same examination.

At this moment, Zuo Du Yushi looked at Fang Congwen with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.

Fang Congwen sighed lightly and turned his gaze to Zuodu Yushi, "Linyuan! I came to you today, do you know why?"

The left capital of the Imperial Court is surnamed Zheng, and his name is Linyuan.

Fang Congwen is half of his teacher, so the names between the two are different from the others.

When Fang Congwen talked to him, he was like a very close elder in the family.

"Although Mr. didn't say it, the younger generation also guessed that last year's flood in Suzhou and Hangzhou was actually not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster.

By this time, the ins and outs of the case have been almost investigated, and the file has been almost prepared.

In such a big case, I don't know how many people are involved, and how many black hats are involved.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises hundreds of officials, and such a case must end up falling on him, even Dali Temple can't be snatched away.

At this time, seeing that the relationship between the other two people and Fang Congwen was even closer than that between himself and him, he quickly thought of this matter in the Qiao family.

Sure enough, Fang Congwen nodded, "Back then, I said you were smart, but now it seems that it was my loss that I couldn't accept you as a student at the beginning."

Zheng Linyuan hurriedly said: "What Mr. said was surprising, although he had not formally bowed to the teacher, but in the hearts of the students, Mr.'s guidance will be used for life, and Mr. will be the student's teacher for life."

"Good!" Fang Congwen suddenly said loudly, his eyes suddenly became fierce, "Then, I will tell you to do something.

But the first thing I want to tell you is that you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, and you are not allowed to let anyone know, even if that person is the crown prince!"

Since Zheng Linyuan appeared here, he actually had a certain amount of psychological preparation in his heart.

Recently, the court has not been peaceful, and who else can detect it earlier than him, the inspector who supervises hundreds of officials?

So he knew it from the beginning, and even guessed what Fang Congwen wanted him to do.

"Don't worry, sir, as long as Mr. gives me an order, the student will never give up."

"I don't need you to die, you just need to know that I have acted all my life worthy of heaven, bow, and earth, and in the same way, what I have asked you to do will certainly not make you feel guilty."

With this sentence, what else does Zheng Linyuan dare not do?

The four of them sat down again, and this time Fang Congwen solemnly poured a glass of wine, and said to Zheng Linyuan: "Today's cup is considered as my respect for you."

Zheng Linyuan did not refuse, but stood up with a wine glass, "It is also a blessing for students to have such trust from the teacher."
