Chapter 40 The East Sun is Like Water

"Lord Chen, please come here."

Wearing a new straight robe, a tobacco gray crane outside, and a diagonal square scarf on his head, Chen Shouzhang walked all the way down the corridor to the side hall of Fusi in Beizhen under the guidance of several small officials wearing stickers.

Since that day, the little Langjun of the prince's family came, Chen Shouzhang never returned to the former secret prison, but changed to another stone room with windows, in addition to windows, there are brand new beds and bedding, tables and chairs made of jujube wood, and braziers.

Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, who was extremely unkind to him before, not only came to him in person to ask for warmth, but even invited a doctor to treat his eyes, for a long time in the dark prison, he not only had damage to his eyes, but also his body was invaded by the cold evil.

As for eating, not to mention, in just a few days, the roast pig in Xiaoxinglou, the fish soup in Acura Lou, the clear soup venison in Heming Lou, and the pine nut roasted carp in Zuixianlou...... Although Chen Shouzhang was honest for half his life, his family was well-off before he became an official, and he had never lived in such luxury, but he felt that the small flag offered him ten times more attentive than the ancestral tablet.

At the first meal, Chen Shouzhang thought it was a severed head meal, and he was washed in advance, and he secretly sighed in his heart that Beizhen Fusi was really exquisite, and killing people was more decent than the side, so he used the roast pig and sat in danger waiting to die.

I didn't expect him to wait, wait, and wait for a second good meal. Chen Shouzhang was immediately a little embarrassed, he couldn't eat two meals of severed heads, and he wouldn't cut off his head again, he closed his eyes and ate the fish soup again, but he didn't expect to sleep all night, and still no one let him die, but he waited for the small flags that greeted him again.

"The one who is summoned down is still the young man from before?"

The little official didn't dare to say much, and the two of them walked all the way through the courtyard of the guardhouse, which was much emptier than usual, and finally arrived at the side hall.

With his eyes healed, Chen Shouzhang stood in front of the door and finally saw the appearance of the young adult clearly.

At just one glance, Chen Shouzhang thought of a sentence "There is a bandit gentleman, full of ears and ears, will be like a star*", this young man who has talked to him is not only young, but also admirably handsome, and not only handsome, the top of the green tree made of white jade for branches and jasper leaves has given birth to a golden sprout, which makes people dare not blaspheme the nobility and compelling extravagance, so that there is such a terrifying feeling.

The young man also saw Chen Shouzhang, put a gold bookmark in the book in his hand, put the book away, stood up and saluted him: "Lord Chen, the late life is bothering again, I had to be instructed by the adult before, and the late life suddenly became enlightened, and I thank Lord Chen again."

The young man in a silver-white flying fish suit was quite tall, with broad shoulders and a beautiful waist, and a black gauze hat, which could not suppress the bright light in his eyes.

Chen Shouzhang hurriedly replied: "Chen Mou was originally guilty, but he had the help of adults, I should thank my lord, I couldn't see it before, but I didn't know that my lord was so extraordinary."

The young man raised his hand and invited Chen Shouzhang to sit down, took a silver pot from his desk, and poured out a cup of tea from it.

"Master Chen has studied a lot of tea, why don't you taste what kind of tea did you bring this time?" ….

Hearing this, Chen Shouzhang's shoulders relaxed, glanced at the big bucket in front of him, and said with a slight smile: "The tea brewed from the high-quality silver pot does not have the slightest miscellaneous taste, and it is used to drink white tea, the aroma of this tea is clear but not floating, the soup color is clear, I think it is Wuzhou East White Tea."

After speaking, he took a sip of tea soup and smiled again: "This year's high-grade new tea, if you are not lucky enough to meet adults, you will miss it in the next year."

He had drunk several cups of good tea in front of the other party before, and Chen Shouzhang did not hide his love for this tea, tasting it first and then drinking, and drank the tea in the cup cleanly.

"Lord Chen is polite." The young man lifted the silver kettle and filled his large jar with it.

After drinking two cups of tea in a row, Chen Shouzhang wiped his mouth with the corner of his sleeve: "What did you want to ask when you came to me this time?"

The young man glanced at the "Book of Shang" that he had put on the case, and with a slight chuckle on his face, as if he was just talking about an idle matter:

"This morning, His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the shortfall in the Pangong and various Taifu Temples, and the handling officials should make up for it before October

The deficit can be lightly reduced."

A shocking thing was said lightly by this young man, but he still did not change the thrilling thing, Chen Shouzhang got up from the chair and sat down slowly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Holy Ming!" As he spoke, he knelt down in the direction of the imperial city and kowtowed three times in a row.

From the day he wrote the memorabilia, he had not had such a dream, dreaming that His Majesty's Qiangang arbitrarily cleared the deficit and swept away the accumulated evils, but when he woke up, the fierce gods rushed into him to reward the Jinyi guard who wanted him.

Who would have thought that when he was already disheartened and just waiting to die, things would take a turn for the worse.

Your Majesty is determined to get rid of the ills?!

Excited, Chen Shouzhang actually cried: "Your Majesty is young, but he does not shy away from medical treatment, and is willing to face the chronic illness of Dayong for several generations, which is really a blessing for Dayong!" Blessings to all the people of the world!"

The young man sitting on the chair lifted the tea cup with his hand, took a sip of the refreshing tea soup, and smiled lightly at the corners of his eyebrows and lips.

"Lord Chen doesn't have to be so happy, Your Majesty is used to being casual, maybe you want to check the Taifu Temple today, and you want to use the money to repair the garden tomorrow, if Your Majesty himself takes the money from the Taifu Temple the day after tomorrow, you are not kneeling in vain."

These words are really a bit untamed, Chen Shouzhang covered his face with his sleeves and cried and laughed:

"I'm not afraid of adult jokes, I know that I can only die, and in desperation, I also contacted a few people who have comrades with me, telling them that even if I die, they must once again choose the opportunity to tell Your Majesty what Dayong is like now. If I can have the fruit of today, I will die without regrets!"

The young man's face was still smiling, and he stood up, and he held Chen Shouzhang's arm.

"Master Chen, you should get up first."

Chen Shouzhang staggered to his feet, and the brand-new crane was already stained with dust.

"I'm out of shape, and I'm telling adults to see a joke!"

The young man only smiled and shook his head.

After a long time, Chen Shouzhang drank a few more cups of tea and finally calmed down.

"What do you have to ask about this?"

"I can't hide it, I came here late to ask Lord Chen...... Looking at Chen Shouzhang's face, the young man suddenly paused, and then changed his head again, "I don't know who those comrades and friends are?" ….

Chen Shouzhang touched his beard and smiled: "It's just a petty official who is like a low-key official."

After speaking, Chen Shouzhang thought for a while, and smiled: "But if an adult wants to make friends, I have a little friend to recommend to an adult, and my little friend said that day that when His Majesty is determined to check the deficit, it will be the day when he will ascend to the palace and enter the cabinet."

That's a lot of madness.

The young man in the flying fish suit smiled, "Lord Chen, this little friend is very interesting."

"Yes! Although he was only the head of the Criminal Department, he had a very broad vision, and he knew that I insisted on writing, and he also wrote to me that after I died, he could renew the incense for me for six years, but only for six years, because after six years, he would either hang up the seal and go to poverty, or he would also die in Beizhen Fusi."

Sounds like a funny guy.

The young man was a little interested, and refilled a cup of tea for Chen Shouzhang: "Please also ask Master Chen to introduce this interesting person to the late students."

"Okay, his name is Ming Ruoshui, a person from Dongyang, and the tea we drink today comes from the same place!"

In front of the gate of the Fuji in North Town, a man in a white shirt was talking to the brocade guard who was guarding:

"Although Zaixia's friend is locked up in the prison of Beizhen Fusi, he has neither been questioned nor arraigned, let alone classified as a non-visitable felon, why can't he be visited?"

The brocade-clothed guards guarding the door were silent.

The Beizhen Fusi who can stop the children's night crying is a place that others avoid and fear, but this person has a paper bag in his left hand and two small wine jars in his right hand, as if they regard their dignified Beizhen Fusi as a place for poetry to visit the garden.

At this time, a small banner of Jinyi Wei came out of the gate, and when he saw this person, he couldn't cry or laugh:

"Master Ming, why are you here again? Didn't you say before that you were transferred out of Beijing?

Why did you come back so soon?"

The man looked at this familiar little flag and smiled and arched his hand: "Zhang Xiaoqi has not been seen for many days, I was transferred to Jiangxi to decide the prison, and I was assigned to Xuanfu halfway to cooperate in the suppression of bandits.

Zhang Xiaoqi had nothing to say for a while.

On the second day when Chen Shouzhang came in, the former head of the Criminal Department named Ming Ruoshui came to Beizhen Fusi every day to block people, knowing that he was guarding Chen Shouzhang, this scholar who was a little poor at first glance also gave him ten taels of silver and asked him to help take care of Chen Shouzhang.

Zhang Xiaoqi thinks that he is not a bad person, and he let go of Chen Shouzhang after receiving other people's money, how can anyone who enters the Fusi of Beizhen not be tossed? Although the above did not say that Chen Shouzhang would be tortured, it was too easy for a small flag like them with a little power in their hands to abuse a person. If it weren't for these ten taels of silver, Chen Shouzhang might not have waited for the later turnover.

Thinking of the unspeakable nobleman, Zhang Xiaoqi's shoulders pressed down again, Chen Shouzhang turned over, how could he give Chen Shouzhang's friend a look? He only smiled and said, "Ming Gongzi, if you want to see Lord Chen, naturally there is nothing you can't do, it's just that Lord Chen was infected with the wind cold before, and he hasn't gotten better, you smell that I still have the smell of medicine on my body, and I just contracted it for Lord Chen to see a doctor, you just have to go back with confidence, I will definitely be able to take good care of Lord Chen."

The man looked at Zhang Xiaoqi's demeanor and didn't seem to be fake, and realized in his heart that the direction of the wind had changed, and these people naturally became polite to Chen Shouzhang.

He took a step back and saluted Zhang Xiaoqi: "Thank you, thank you!"

The little flag also hurriedly returned the salute: "Ming Gongzi, don't be polite to me!"

A carriage quietly came out of the side courtyard of the North Town Fuji and turned to the front of the main entrance.

The man sitting in the car lowered his eyes in contemplation.

Chen Shouzhang can be used, but he can't be used, this person is very stubborn, and a little stupid and loyal, a little careless, it will set fire to himself.

She needed someone who was more suitable.

Hearing the words "Ming Gongzi", the person in the car took a volume of books in his hand and gently lifted the curtain.

"The one outside is Ming Ruoshui Minggongzi?"

Hearing someone call for him, the man turned around and saw the pendant peeking out of the book and swaying with the curtain of the car.

The people in the car looked at him with a smile.

"Ming Gongzi, I have heard the name of Gongzi for a long time, can you come to the car to talk about it?"

The sunset soaks the weeping willows and eats away the cool breeze.

The bright moon hangs over the tall trees overlooking the wet rain.

The moment he saw those eyes, these two long sentences were born in Ming Ruoshui's heart for no reason.
