The next day, two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the Yan Mansion once again reported shocking news: Yan Shifan's wife died of illness.

As for the cause of death, according to the imperial doctor, it should have been due to excessive pain, coupled with the fatigue of the vigil for several days, which caused heart palpitations and died in his sleep.

Yan Shifan was so grief-stricken that he couldn't control himself, and he no longer wanted to stay in the sad place of the capital, so he cried goodbye to Yan Song, helped the spirit out of the city, and took the coffins of his mother and wife back to his hometown in Jiangxi for burial.

Jiajing naturally knew the news, he was silent for a moment, sighed, and ordered someone to send a sign to Yan Fu to show his grief.

Under normal circumstances, the wife of an official above the fourth rank died, and if he did not receive the edict during his lifetime, the emperor would often posthumously confer the edict.

Yan Shifan has been stripped of all grades, and it stands to reason that his wife no longer has this qualification, but Jiajing still posthumously sealed, which shows that he is also sad for Yan Song in his heart.

Yan Song was indeed exhausted, but he gritted his teeth and sent Yan Shifan's convoy out of the capital.

Because he knew that Yan Shifan's situation at this time, the farther away from the capital, the safer he might be. In the future, when the long live gas is gone, there may be a turnaround.

Yan Shifan left, and Jin Yiwei naturally relaxed his care of the Yan Mansion. Originally, it was not Yan Song who Lu Bing was not worried about, he was worried about what Yan Shifan would do.

Now that the unstable factors are gone, it seems a bit targeted to let Jinyiwei keep an eye on Yan Mansion, and if this kind of thing spreads, Yan Song and Jiajing will be dissatisfied with themselves.

The convoy carried the coffin, and had to scatter paper money all the way, so naturally it was not very fast. Yan Shifan had no legs, so he could only sit in the carriage, and he never got out of the carriage again except after being seen by people when he went out of the city.

Zhang Yuan also quietly went out of the city, waiting for Yan Shifan's convoy in a secluded place outside the city. Yan Shifan stopped the car in the woods, and Zhang Yuan bent down and got into the car, his tone very dissatisfied.

"You pat your ass and leave, what should I do? Who will cure my poison? ”

Yan Shifan said lightly: "If I don't leave, your poison won't be cured." ”

Zhang Yuan was stunned: "What does this mean?" ”

Yan Shifan said: "If I don't leave, the Jinyi Guard will keep an eye on my mansion." You go in and out, and the brocade guards can be seen.

You cured Miao Jiang's Gu poison from my house, wouldn't Jin Yiwei be suspicious? As soon as I leave, the Jinyi Guard will not monitor the Yan Mansion.

At the second watch tonight, you entered my house from the corner gate, and gradually took you into my backyard, and the detoxification person was already waiting in the house.

However, you must also do what you promised me, so that more people in Dongchang will walk around the streets.

If you encounter people from Shuntianfu or Wucheng Terracotta Division who are embarrassed by people who come to Beijing and enter Beijing, you will go over to relieve the siege, and maybe there will be people I invited to deal with Xiao Feng! ”

Zhang Yuan frowned: "What, you have to deal with Xiao Feng, how many people are coming in?" ”

Yan Shifan sneered: "Jinyi Wei guards the Xiao Mansion all day long, if I don't invite a few more people to come, can I kill Xiao Feng?"

You don't have to worry about anything else, anyway, your poison will be solved tonight, and you don't have to look at Xiao Feng's face anymore! ”

Zhang Yuan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he jumped out of the car and left quietly. Yan Shifan looked at his back and smiled darkly.

As Yan Shifan's convoy continued to move forward, two inconspicuous people, wearing big turbans, entered the capital in the dust.

The fat guy looked at Xiao Fu from a distance on the main street, his eyes were dazed and lost, he was about to move forward, and the man with the long knife behind him pulled him.

"Don't forget, the shipowner has repeatedly instructed that you can't enter the Xiao Mansion directly, otherwise you won't be able to tell what will happen later.

The work is done by your God-given construction, and the drawings are left by your construction captain, not to mention Yan Shifan, even Zhao Wenhua can admit nothing!

If everything is peaceful, the emperor will only suspect that Lord Xiao has bribed you to frame the Yan family, so you can only ask the government to surrender yourself, and you can't contact Lord Xiao directly. ”

Tan Xinren's body shook: "We hid in Tibet all the way, just for fear of being seen by Yan Shifan's people."

He has such a big force in the capital, once I surrender, I may not survive tonight! ”

Liu Sheng Wanyue said coldly: "Then I don't care, what the owner says, we have to do something."

The owner of the boat said that Shuntianfu and Dali Temple, the emperor thought that they were inclined to Lord Xiao, and they could not go either.

There is Liutai in the Criminal Department, and there is a high probability that you will be hacked if you surrender, so you can only go to Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, let's go, I will send you to the gate! ”

Tan Xinren had no choice but to turn his head and walk in the direction of Beizhen Fusi, but as soon as he took a few steps, a group of Dongchang Fanzi came over, and Tan Xinren hurriedly bowed his head.

"This is the people of Dongchang, Dongchang and Yan Shifan are together! When they saw me, I was dead! ”

As soon as Tan Xinren looked up, he saw the Drunken Immortal Building in front of him, he panicked into the Drunken Immortal Building, and Liu Sheng Wanyue had to follow him in.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, everyone is busy at home, Zuixian Lou is the same as other restaurants, although the business is good, there will not be no empty seats.

As soon as the two of them sat down in an empty seat, a young man came over quickly and introduced him politely.

"If you two want to eat something, we have five top specialty dishes, fifteen signature specialty dishes, and hot pot shabu-shabu."

There is a table of guests next to it, and it looks like they are coming to the capital to do business, a few stir-fried vegetables, a large plate of dumplings in the middle, eating and drinking are lively.

If you want to say that the food that best represents the homesickness of the Chinese, it is dumplings. What a familiar local sound, what a strange prosperity, Tan Xinren felt sour in his heart, and suddenly asked.

"Are there still dumplings? I want to eat dumplings. ”

The young man nodded again and again: "Yes, there are really few people who usually order dumplings, this is the New Year, there are always some guests who can't go home, and there are more people who order dumplings." ”

The steaming dumplings came up, Tan Xinren gobbled it up, and Liu Sheng Wanyue frowned and looked at him.

"As for you, I never starved you on the island."

Tan Xinren wiped his sweat: "What do you know, how can the food on the island be comparable to the capital."

Besides, I'm about to go to prison, my life and death are uncertain, and I don't know if I can eat dumplings in the future. ”

His chopsticks paused: "The owner of the ship said that no matter whether I live or die, I will take care of my family for the rest of my life, does he count?" ”

Liu Sheng Wanyue nodded disdainfully: "The ship's owner is full of words, how can he deceive you into a person who is at the end of his rope?" ”

As he was talking, several fans of Dongchang also walked into the drunken fairy building, scared away the two guests sitting by the street with their momentum, and shouted for wine and food.

The young man didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ran over to serve. Tan Xinren's two legs began to play the pipa again, and Liu Sheng Wanyue frowned and secretly held the long knife.

A rough voice sounded: "You eat when you eat, what are you doing to scare away other guests?" You Dongchang are too domineering! ”

Well? Everyone was stunned, that was the people of Dongchang, who was so bold and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head?

To tell the truth, Dongchang Fanzi originally walked into any hotel, and there was no reason to wait for a seat, so he drove people directly.

That is, the drunken fairy building, the backstage boss is Xiao Feng, the fans of the East Factory dare not be too arrogant, they can only scare people away with their momentum, and there are still those who dare to put forward opinions?

A fan looked up and sneered: "Who should I be, it turned out to be Zhao Zongqi, this is a senior."

When I was Jinyiwei, you were the general banner, and I have been in the East Factory for many years, and you are still the general banner, amazing! ”

Many people think that the fans of Dongchang are the same as the factory fathers, they are all eunuchs, but they are actually very wrong. Only the factory duke or a very small number of henchmen in the East Factory are eunuchs, and the rest are normal people.

Moreover, the main source of Dongchang Fanzi is Jinyiwei, and every year Dongchang will select a certain number of people from Jinyiwei to enrich its strength.

Of course, it's not that Dongchang said that he wanted to, he had to go, whether he let go or not, or the commander of Jinyiwei had the final say, for example, if Lu Bing didn't let go, then Zhang Yuan would not move.

However, the Jinyi Guard commander like Lu Bing who can compete with Dongchang is a minority after all, and before and after him, it is basically Dongchang who has the upper hand, and the dignitaries are naturally strong.

There are also some Jinyiwei who feel that Dongchang is more promising than Jinyiwei, and will take the initiative to show their loyalty, and even send silver to ask Dongchang to go over by name.

Therefore, Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei are actually born from the same root, but after they belong to two departments, they naturally have their own masters, and they will fry each other at every turn.

Zhao Zongqi heard that he laughed at himself for not being promoted, and he couldn't help but be furious, and was about to have a seizure, when Xiaoqi next to him grabbed him.

"For the New Year, I can't fight with this group of guys, they drink, let's drink too. If they dare to make trouble, let's talk about it! ”

Jin Yiwei naturally has no duty to protect the restaurant, but Jiajing once sent Jin Yiwei to protect Xiao Feng's relatives and friends, and the owner of the Drunken Immortal Building, as Xiao Feng's suspected lady, is naturally among the guards.

Although this order has been revoked now, Zhao Zongqi and a few brothers still like to go around here when they are fine, and it is natural to get used to it.

A few brocade guards also sat down, and when they were about to order wine and food, Chen Zhonghou had already seen a few people and asked the young man to bring wine and food, declaring that he was a treat.

Zhao Zongqi was also not polite, and raised the wine jug ostentatiously at a few people from Dongchang, meaning that Lao Tzu has more face than you, and began to drink.

Tan Xinren glanced at it and nodded sadly at Liu Sheng Wanyue.

"This guy is Xiao Feng's friend, when I paid Xiao Feng 300,000 taels back then, he was one of the few guys who supported Xiao Feng!"

Liu Sheng Wanyue sighed, looked at it, and stood up: "Then I will complete the task, you can just ask him to turn himself in, and you can give him a credit." ”

After Liu Sheng Wanyue finished speaking, he got up and left, Tan Xinren gritted his teeth, lowered his head and beckoned to the young man, and the young man ran over.

"Guest, do you want to add something?"

Tan Xinren took out a small piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the young man's hand: "Little brother, you invite the Jinyi Wei Zongqi over there to come over, and say that the old friend is looking for him." ”

The young man clutched the silver, and said in his heart that fortunately you asked me to call Zhao Zongqi, I am not afraid of this, if you let me call the people of Dongchang, I don't want this silver.

After listening to the young man's words, Zhao Zongqi glanced at the table next to him in surprise, Tan Xinren lowered his head, covered his face with a turban, and couldn't see his appearance, he could only see that it was a chubby guy.

The sky is blue and the sun is white, and the flow of people is weaving, and Zhao Zongqi is not afraid of someone making trouble, so he walked over and sat down.

"What an old friend, my old Zhao doesn't have many old friends, I damn it, this is not, this is not talking about ......"

Talking about the richest man in Xinren's generation, Zhao Zongqi naturally knew him, Tan Xinren hurriedly waved his hand, and his face turned white with fright.

"Whisper, whisper, I'm here to surrender, this matter is about Yan Shifan, it's beneficial to Lord Xiao, you hurry up and arrest me to Beizhen Fusi!"

Zhao Zongqi scratched his head, this matter really made him a little confused, but Jinyiwei was well-informed, he had heard Zhang Tianci say before that Yan Shifan was looking for Tan Xinren, but Zhang Tianci always thought that Yan Shifan was going to re-support Tan Xinren to deal with him.

Now it seems that what Tan Xinren said is seven points credible. Whether it is credible or not, since he took the initiative to surrender, he has no reason to refuse it.

But...... Zhao Zongqi is a reasonable person, and he looked at Tan Xinren with distress.

"You refuse to say that you surrendered to something, what crime should I arrest you?"

Tan Xinren was anxious: "Do you Jinyiwei still need to be charged with arresting people?" Hurry up, maybe those guys in Dongchang are also helping Yan Shifan find me! ”

Zhao Zongqi nodded, indicating that he understood, and then grabbed Tan Xinren's wrist and looked at him seriously.

"You eat dumplings, why don't you dip them in soy sauce?"

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the capital is full of joy, anxious and rich people have begun to set off fireworks, and the Five Cities Terracotta Division has also prepared a large number of manpower for fire prevention and firefighting.

This year is a happy year for Jiajing. He drove his own expedition to repel the Tatars, and the Japanese also stopped a lot, and also completed the reform of the clan support system, and Miao Jiang also had an attitude of submission.

Therefore, this year, Jiajing's mood is also exceptionally good, and there are more favors to the people than every year, which also makes the joyful atmosphere of the capital even stronger.

It's late at night, and the curfew has been lifted in the capital, which is still bustling, and many out-of-town and local merchants want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to do more business and make more money.

In particular, the major restaurants are almost all open overnight, which is rare in that era when there were no Kaifeng dishes and golden gates.

Under the cover of a lively scene, Zhang Yuan quietly walked into Yan's house through the small door. Sure enough, he was gradually waiting for him at the corner gate, smiling at him, twisting his waist to lead the way.

Zhang Yuan was full of expectations, although Xiao Feng's ointment worked, he didn't know whether he could completely detoxify it. A two-headed bet is always the best option.

In this half of Yan Shifan's courtyard, there are more than a dozen servants in the front yard, and the middle hall is silent, and there is no one. As I walked to the backyard, I went straight into the dilapidated Cave of Elysium.

In the deepest part of the Elysium Demon Cave, there were several people sitting, one of them looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile, gentle as jade, graceful, and a person beside him with white hair and white beard, old and mighty.

Zhang Yuanhu looked at the two suspiciously: "You two are the Miaojiang people who came to detoxify me?" It doesn't look like it, Yan Shifan didn't play tricks on me, right? ”

Xiao Qin smiled: "We are here to detoxify you, this pill, if you eat it, the poison will be cured." ”

Zhang Yuan looked at the gray pill that Xiao Qin was dragging in his hand, and said suspiciously: "If it's just a pill, why didn't Yan Shifan give it to me directly, but let me take the risk to come to his mansion?" ”

Xiao Qin shook her head: "Of course it's not just the pill, after you take the medicine, I still have to pull out the poison for you." ”

Zhang Yuan blinked, suddenly remembered Xiao Feng's words in his heart, and looked at the man in front of him, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He clutched his stomach and walked out.

"Damn, I have a bad stomach today, wait for me, I'll go to the thatched house, and come back to take medicine to detoxify."

Xiao Qin's hand was like lightning, and she grabbed Zhang Yuan's wrist, Zhang Yuan struggled to struggle, and he couldn't shake it at all. Zhang Yuan was shocked.

"Damn, do you want to die, dare to block Lao Tzu from going to the thatched house? Don't you know who Lao Tzu is? ”

Xiao Qin smiled and said, "Zhang Changgong, it's not too late to take the medicine first and then leave." ”

Zhang Yuan knew that something was wrong, and punched Xiao Qin's face, and at the same time kicked Xiao Qin's crotch, tearing open his throat and preparing to scream.

Xiao Qin easily dodged this punch and kick, and with a flick of his fingers, the pill had already shot into Zhang Yuan's throat, blocking the sound he was about to scream.

Zhang Yuan was about to vomit, Xiao Qin pinched Zhang Yuan's chin, gradually leaned over, hugged Zhang Yuan's other arm, and said with a smile.

"Zhang Changgong, I heard that you have no guy, and you can still make the flower slave want to die, I am a little tempted to hear it.

This last pair of heart Gu in Miao Jiang, we ate it together, it can be regarded as fate. If you still have a life after the deed, how about I serve you well? ”

Zhang Yuan struggled desperately, but Xiao Qin's kung fu was much higher than him, and with the gradual suppression, not only could he not move, but he couldn't even shout.

Finally, Zhang Yuan's eyes became confused, Xiao Qin tilted her head to look at him for a while, slowly let go of him, and gradually made a look.

Gradually, he took a few steps back, looked at Zhang Yuan, and silently exercised in his heart. Zhang Yuan walked a few steps like a puppet and said a word in a monotone.

"Dongchang handles the case, and the idlers retreat!"

Xiao Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "This guy's martial arts are not weak, if it weren't for the poison of the Blood Gu, it would not be so easy to control him with the Heart Gu." ”

gradually approached Xiao Qin's side, gently stroked Xiao Qin's chest, and smiled charmingly.

"That's what I have to do, if it's Bai Gu and Qing Gu, two wastes who only like to eat and wear, they can only control children like Wang Yingxiang.

After this success, the Holy Envoy must stay with me for a few days, you promised me before. ”

Xiao Qin smiled and pinched her face: "So you have to save it until the end before you can use it, you have been with me for many years, only me and the high priest know your identity, and it is reserved for great use." ”

Xiao Wuji next to him snorted, gradually glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What, I've been with you for seven or eight years, and you're still not satisfied?" If I hadn't helped you vent your fire, you would have gone mad and died! ”

Xiao Wuji said coldly: "Each other, without me being a slag for you, I'm afraid you would have gone crazy a long time ago." If it weren't for the lust in your body, I'm afraid I wouldn't have become so crazy. ”

Xiao Qin waved her hand and stopped the two of them talking about tigers and wolves.

"Inform the person in the front yard to prepare, go out in batches, and act according to the plan. Wait for the red fireworks outside the city to take off and act together! ”
