When He Zhan and Shao Guang were already sitting in the flower hall of Hengzhou Thorn Mansion, the master Zheng Xiong was sleeping in the inner bed to play with the ivory carving ornaments that he had only gotten to get in the room, and when he listened to the steward to report that there was a guest to visit, and asked the guest to come from, then the ivory carving was put on the shelf full of treasures, and the fingers were slightly long and bearded and thought carefully for a while, and then ordered to summon his own advisers, and now he is in charge of other drivers to discuss.

"It's just a matter of picking up the legacy, a certain originally didn't need to please, but this He Chengtai is the imperial envoy of the queen mother's will, and he came to visit through Hengzhou, and it is not good to be too lazy, but a certain is now 'seriously injured', and it is inconvenient to come forward to entertain guests, so he invited Mr. to come forward, summoned his subordinates to Benzhou, and put down a banquet to entertain him."

"Do you need to bring Cheng Yi?" Don't ask.

Although He Zhan's trip is official business, it does not prevent Zheng Xiong from making friends with money and silver, but these conventions have attracted special inquiries from confidants, which shows that Zheng Xiong is not a "corporal of courtesy".

Zheng Xiong really frowned, and slashed his beard for a while, and the three golden rings on his fingers reflected the afterglow of the slanting sun, so that he couldn't drive for a while, and finally listened to the dignified stabbing Shi's painful tone: "He Chengtai is not as good as those cold families, in the end, he is a child of the extremely affectionate clan of Yingyang Zhenren, he is fortunate to take on the position of an angel at a young age, which shows that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to it, Cheng Yi must be unavoidable, and it can't seem like a small weapon when he shoots." ”

Gritted his teeth, he finally spit out a number: "Just give a treasure according to this limit." ”

Seeing his henchmen leading his life away, Zheng Xiong only felt a depression in his chest, but he really felt a little "seriously injured", and he had no leisure to play with the treasures he had collected over the years, and tilted it to the bed, only asking the two beautiful concubines to press their shoulders and beat their legs, and after a long rest, he finally felt that the depression in his chest had eased.

He also said that Shao Guang was listening to his friend's unserious bewitchment: "This trip is a long way, and it is in the hot summer season, it is really hard, the conditions of post houses around the country are limited, and even bathing can not be enjoyable, you might as well visit the governor every time the state and county magistrates are in order to alleviate the pain of the trek." ”

Shao Guang was willing to take advantage of this, but he couldn't bear He Zhan's hard drag and begged to entangle, so he had no choice but to follow, although now he had the purpose of "secretly checking" whether Zheng Xiong was greedy and rape, although he was not tired of resisting, but seeing He Zhan in Hengzhou don't drive as the head of the officials and those bewitching women, staggered left and right, all they talked about was nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun in the snow, and there was not a word about civil affairs, Shao Guang only felt tormented, looking at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the food table, instead of having a little appetite, but indignant, finally couldn't help but interrupt the smoky miasma: "I can't sit still because of fatigue, so I took the first step." ”

It's good that this upright gentleman still remembered He Zhan's tireless advice earlier, so he didn't openly question the case of searching for the thief, but after stacking this sentence, he ignored his friend's glaring at him again and again, and after a little courtesy, he just walked away in the limelight.

When Shao Guang stepped out of the threshold, he actually heard He Zhan's joke: "Shao Shaofu is a boring person, don't blame him for being disappointed, let him rest." ”

Shao Shaofu became more and more depressed in his heart, fortunately, the bewitching girl who was "declined" by him earlier because of drinking wine still had some eyes, and then did not come forward to bother, when Shao Guang took a deep breath of the fresh air outside the hall without fat and wine, the boring mood was somewhat relieved, but it was only for this moment of relaxation, and there was a woman with heavy makeup approaching, and the autumn wave was sent, and the pulse was affectionate.

It's a pity that the Lang Jun in front of him was completely puzzled, frowned and took a step back as if facing a great enemy, as if he saw some three-headed and two-armed monster, which made the woman feel sad and aggrieved: "Since Lang Jun wants to rest, the maid was ordered to lead Lang Jun to the guest house." ”

Only then did Shao Guang realize that this was not the prostitutes of the Assassin's Mansion in the hall, but a maidservant.

It can be seen that he is dressed in ayaluo, wears pearls and jade, and is coquettish in his marriage, what is the difference between him and a domestic prostitute?

Shao Guang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said coldly: "There is a labor guide." ”

He stared at the maidservant and walked five or six steps away, and then slowly followed behind him, all the way to maintain this distance not far and not close, when he came to the outside of the guest room, he only needed the servant to fetch water and wash inside, and he did not give the beauty a chance to be close and courteous.

It's just that Shao Guang of course didn't go to the bed to rest immediately as an excuse, he sat in front of the window, let the evening breeze into the moonlight caress his shoulders, crossed his knees and closed his eyes to recuperate, just like the old monk in meditation, I don't know how long to sit quietly, only to hear He Zhan's laughter, the "old monk" suddenly opened his eyes, saw He Zhan's arm stretched, holding a beautiful woman staggering into the opposite guest room, after stepping on the threshold, one heel kicked the door closed with extra precision, and then heard the woman in the door snort softly, and it was a string of silver bell-like smiles.

Shao Guang clenched his fists and strode straight towards He Zhan's bedroom, and he also poked open the door with one toe with extra precision and strength.

"Bang", a pair of male and female mermaids who were so frightened that their ears and temples were grinding and they were about to spend a good night jumped up.

Of course, Shao Guang ignored his friend's grievances, pointed to the beauty who had opened her clothes but had no consciousness to tidy up her clothes, and then pointed to the wide open door, and said very simply: "Get out!" ”

"Lang Jun......" The beauty bit her lip slightly, her beautiful eyes were bent, and her slender jade fingers stroked He Zhan's wrist, intending to seek comfort.

"Brother Shao......" He Zhan also learned from the aggrieved appearance of that beauty, and "begged" Shao Shaofu to be accommodating.

It's a pity that Shao Guang didn't eat this set at all, his angry eyes were even more fierce, he took a step forward, and drank heavily: "Get out!" ”

The beauty thought that it was convenient to do something, so frightened that she lifted the hem of her skirt and screamed all the way to avoid it, He Zhan put away the indecent appearance at this time, and was not annoyed, just put away her long legs and sat down, smiling and admiring the anger of her friend.

"Fourteen Lang, you just said that you would marry after returning to Beijing, and your behavior is so ridiculous!" Shao Guang was really angry with his friends and forgot the topic for the time being.

"Oh, I just thought that Yin Erlang had such a weird family motto, I don't want Brother Shao to be ......like this" He Zhan frowned and thought about it, because he really couldn't find an adjective, and he bared his teeth again: "Don't say that I haven't married a wife yet, even if I am already a married man, which law stipulates that you must stay away from beauty and keep yourself like jade?" As long as you don't do adultery, it's not even a loss of virtue, why does Brother Shao need to be so angry? ”

Shao Guang: ......

Although he was upright and decent, he always looked down on those profligate scumbags, but he had to admit what He Zhan said.

Shao Guang because of the family is not wide, and his father died early, so there is no concubine and concubine brothers, but he is the son of the family, of course, there are many concubines among the relatives, is Shao Guang highly respected a clan brother, after marrying a wife, Lu met a peasant daughter lively and interesting, fresh and delicate, a moment of love, accepted as a good concubine, Shao Guang has never felt that the clan brother has a loss of virtue and righteous indignation, he himself can't tell why he is so disgusted with He Zhan's behavior, is it really after entering Beijing, under the influence of Yin Shen?

However, Shao Guang did not back down because of this, and still said solemnly: "Fourteen Lang is now a court official, he should focus on government affairs, how can he indulge in beauty?" ”

He Zhan smiled again: "Why don't I focus on government affairs?" These are two completely unrelated things, could it be that all of the loyal ministers and good assistants in history are not close to women and guard their bodies like jade? ”

These words made Shao Guang even more unable to refute.

He Zhan "took advantage of the victory to pursue": "Some people are willing to abide by the rules and dogmas, and they don't think it's rigid and hypocritical, but they have never indulged in their feelings and don't want to live up to this life. ”

Shao Guang puffed out his cheeks: "But this woman is a prostitute, not a good family!" ”

"I see." He Zhan restrained his smile: "Brother Shao is a contemptible prostitute who is confined to good and lowly...... If it were to be chosen by each man, who would be willing to be born lowly and grow up in filth? Who doesn't want to be born to be everyone's beautiful gold and jade? But if it is fated to be like this, is it not by the will of the will? How many men are still powerless to change their fate, let alone women? It's just a pitiful life, so what's wrong? ”

Being asked by this series of questions, Shao Guang couldn't find any basis for rebuttal, but he suddenly remembered the topic: "I shouldn't have interfered with Shishilang's ordinary, but today it is to secretly investigate whether the assassin of Hengzhou has committed a crime, how can he be a prostitute in the assassin's mansion...... Isn't Shishiro afraid of falling into the beauty trap! I walked all the way from the side hall, only to see that this Thorn History Mansion covers a wide area, even a maid can wear silk and satin, wear beads and jade, an ordinary guest house, carved buildings and painted beams are extremely luxurious, and the furnishings are not lacking in preciousness, not to mention that there are still many prostitutes, can't it prove that Zheng Tingshi is corrupt? ”

"Zheng Xiong is a dignified four-class high-ranking official, the governor of a state, and he is from a wealthy family, so it is questionable to live a luxurious life? Not to mention the powerful, it is the rich, which family does not support domestic prostitutes? Not to mention that the Assassin's Mansion was originally an official residence, not Zheng Xiong's private property, and it covers a vast area and was also built by the imperial court, so what does it have to do with Zheng Xiong? For the maidservants to wear the silk ...... That's all because Zheng Tingshi's hospitality today is a full courtesy, maybe the maidservants in the house are usually clothed and hairpins, what can it prove? ”

Shao Guang was speechless again, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Why did Fourteen Lang defend the history of Hengzhou Assassination everywhere?" ”

He Zhan finally couldn't help but sigh: "It's just to let Brother Shao understand that even I can't convince the evidence listed by Brother Shao, how can I convince the prime ministers and even the Queen Mother to strictly investigate a governor based on this false speculation!" ”

Shao Guang was finally discouraged: "Could it be that we know that there is something wrong, and we are helpless when we see that there may be people who have been wronged?" ”

"Therefore, I, Xuanzhi and Ning Zhicai have repeatedly persuaded Brother Shao, even if we have the heart to hoe and protect the weak, but in order to achieve what we want, we first need to strengthen our strength."

It was easy to appease Shao Guang and go back to the room to rest, of course He Zhan did not call any more beauties to serve, but he looked at the brocade box on the low table by the couch, which was Cheng Yi prepared for him by Zheng Xiong, the assassin of Hengzhou.

Take out a thing, it is a jade mountain pen holder, although it is not rare in the world, but the jade is also extraordinary.

"It's not a little worse than the tribute, but the fat jade is not abundant in the south......" He Zhan took it in his hand and enjoyed it, repeating it for a while, it was not difficult to judge that it was due to the work of a famous craftsman, and he smiled again: "In this way, you can always track it out." ”
