Hearing the sound of the drum, Wei Chi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked behind Wu Yao'an, took the mallet from the other party's hand, and beat the drum surface, the sound was much louder than Wu Yao'an's drumming.

"Thank you." Wei Chi tapped the drum and thanked softly, whether Wu Yaoan intended it or not.

Wu Yaoan moved his somewhat sore wrist, stood aside and looked at the main gate of the yamen, "What did you say?" ”

The drum was too loud, and Wei Chi's voice was too small, Wu Yaoan didn't hear what the other party was saying, and only saw his mouth move twice.

As soon as the words fell, the master staggered out, Wu Yaoan didn't study what Wei Chi said, and walked over directly, "Shaoqing in Xia Dali Temple, come to the house to find someone." ”

"But Shaoqing came a few days ago?" This master has some doubts in his heart.

A few days ago, the two people holding the fish talisman also claimed to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and they also read the case file.

Although I heard that one of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Chang'an City is indeed a female official, the easiest way is to confront the two Shaoqing face-to-face, so that you can know which is true and which is false, after all, even if there is a big case in Jingzhou, it is impossible to send both Shaoqing out.

The master looked at Wei Chi and said, "A few days ago, there was also a Shaoqing in the Yamen, you said that you are Shaoqing, it is better to go in with me, and you will know as soon as you ask." ”

Wei Chi looked at the two masters in front of him, and he didn't look like he had eye disease. Wei Chi put the drum hammer in his hand, saluted, stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Yaoan and said, "This is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple." ”

Following the master to the back house, after the two of them saw Wu Yaoan, the two of them first saluted, and then returned the things that proved Wu Yaoan's identity to each other.

"Meet Shaoqing!"

Wei Chi took a step forward and took the things in Da Wu's hand, only to see that Wu Yaoan suddenly spoke, crying weakly.

"I have no intention of deceiving everyone, but I can't get away with something important a few days ago, but the matter of tracking down the whereabouts of Durer is the will of the saints, so I have no choice but to divide the troops into two ways."

Wu Yao'an's voice was crying, coupled with the appearance of that bun face, no one was embarrassed to blame anything.

"Everyone is doing things for the imperial court, and besides, this excess, the document is true, and people are also your people, and everything is done according to the regulations, and there is nothing wrong with it. Isn't it, master? ”

After speaking, the prefect glanced at the master next to him, and the master squinted and nodded and smiled:

"Exactly, they all do things according to the charter. And I also heard that Shaoqing also saved the eldest young master of the Duan family's silk, this family silk village is a big tax payer here, you are now a guest of the Duan family, and it is too late for us to envy it. If Shaoqing needs anything, just let me know, it is all what the lower officials should do. ”

"Master said this, this official does have something to ask for, and please ask the two adults to know everything."

Seeing Wu Yao'an's solemn face, he didn't look like he had just admitted his mistake, and the prefect sitting on the side was a little dumbfounded, and the master hurriedly replied: "The lower official will definitely take out the tray he knows." ”

"That's good!" Wu Yaoan nodded, his expression as usual.

"I went all the way south, and I also encountered a few robbers who robbed the road, but this time I entered the Jingzhou territory is stable and peaceful, presumably it shouldn't be long before the last bandits, right?"

Listening to Wu Yao'an's words, Wei Chi picked up the refreshments he had just served, but he didn't understand the purpose of this person's sudden question.

Not only did Wei Chi not know what this Shaoqing meant, but even the two adults sitting down didn't understand, but this master still answered truthfully:

"Shaoqing can be said to be funny, the last time the bandits were suppressed was many years ago, and there have been no bandits recently, and we don't know about this banditry."

The prefect also laughed twice when he heard it, and said with envy: "Speaking of which, when King Jing moved his family here, since then, the boundary of Jingzhou has been a lot more peaceful, but it is really cheap for those assassins to be in Zhizhou, and it is very idle." ”

"Then it's been four or five years, and it's really stained with the light of King Jing." Wu Yaoan took a sip of tea and thought for a moment.

According to the information investigated by Da Wu, the time when those prime people disappeared began at that time, could it be that they became bandits?

But this shouldn't be, even if you are a bandit, you need to rob your house, but as they have heard and seen, there is no such thing as robbing your house.

Then there's only one possibility! Wu Yaoan's eyes suddenly widened, a little unbelievable of his thoughts, and he took a sip of tea to sober up a little. If it's really such a big disrespect, then it has to be considered in the long run.

After sobering up, Wu Yaoan was afraid of extraneous branches, so he changed the topic: "I heard that King Jing invited a lot of powerful people in the city to a banquet tonight, don't you know if the two of you will go tonight?" ”

"The lower officials are not talented, and they are also among the invitees, King Jing has always done things without leakage, and even petty officials like us will be invited to a banquet every time."

Before the prefect could reply, the master took the lead in speaking, and the prefect nodded in agreement. Most of the people who replied were still the masters, and the prefect only occasionally took a couple of sentences.

Hearing this, Wei Chi raised his eyes slightly, isn't it? I'm afraid I don't want to say unlucky, right? As an official here, you have to look at the face of the vassal king.

"Every time the scene is very big, but we are just going through the motions, neither as elegant as those literati and ink writers, nor like others who are friendly with the prince, so we usually go through the motions and come back."

Wu Yaoan nodded and looked at a few people next to him, it seems that they can also leave the venue early tonight?

"Then the six of us are invited, why don't we take a car together, and it will also save the expenses of this yamen, and I still have some things to know from the two of you."

"Very good, very good!" The master nodded vigorously when he heard this, this is considered on Wu Yaoan's head, and the court will naturally allocate another sum of money, and the days in the government will be more relaxed.

"It's still early, I don't know if I can borrow the file room of the government to take a break?" Wu Yao'an got up and arched his hand, and when he saw the master nodding, the group said goodbye and walked towards the file room.

"What do you mean by what Shaoqing just asked?" After Wu Yao'an left, the prefect came back to his senses, and he had been thinking about other things in his mind in the front hall just now, so he didn't say much.

"I see, they didn't come for us, the prefect should put his heart in his stomach, and go back after attending the King Jing dinner."

"Our affairs have really not been discovered?" The prefect asked in disbelief.

"My lord, put your heart in your stomach, I'm afraid there is something more serious here than deducting money."

As soon as he entered the file room, Wu Yaoan found a table, then sat down and wrote two documents, "After the banquet, find an opportunity to hand over this letter to the school captain stationed outside the city, and send it back to Dali Temple in Chang'an City, and ask Lord Tang to open it in person." ”

After explaining, Wu Yaoan glanced at the weather outside the window, and said with a heavy heart:

"Everyone must be more careful in today's Hongmen banquet, if you can come back with the people from the Yamen, come back first, the letter is very important, remember to deliver it in person tonight."

After Wu Yaoan finished speaking, he looked at Wei Chi, who was as calm as usual beside him, presumably after tonight, the movement of several people would be more restricted, and he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, when the voice of the official outside the door came in.

"A few adults, the car is ready and waiting at the yamen!"

Along the way, the prefect wanted to speak several times, but seeing that several people had their eyes closed, they didn't mean to ask, and they glanced at the master for help, and the master only lowered his hand twice, signaling him to wait and see.

Even if he is holding a wine glass, the prefect will still look at the master from time to time, why is this master so comfortable with this kind of scene?

The master also felt the prefect's eyes, put down the wine bottle and waved his hand to the prefect, and the two Wu saw the prefect and the two go out, glanced at Wu Yaoan and quietly followed.

"I have long heard that the ones that come out of the Eguo Mansion are all blue and better than blue, a few days ago I didn't see the autumn hunting in Chang'an City, and then count back when I was still in Chang'an City, you were still a doll, I don't know if I can witness it for myself when I see it today?"

As soon as King Jing finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves, and the dancing girls who were still dancing in the center of the banquet hall dispersed one after another.

Wei Chi glanced at Wu Yao'an, this was already the second half of the banquet, and when the first wave of guests dispersed, Da Wu and the others mixed with the drunken master and followed back to the mansion.

At present, the entire hall is probably full of King Jing's cronies and capable generals, but the two of them seem to be out of place.

Seeing that Wu Yaoan didn't react, Wei Chi stood up and was about to speak.

Wu Yaoan raised his head and took a sip of strong wine, pretending to be bold and wantonly asked, "If the prince doesn't mind, I'll touch the qin." ”

Hearing this, Wei was stunned for a moment, she just wanted to ask herself if she could dance a knife and a gun in front of the prince! After all, after leaving Chang'an for so many years, many etiquettes only know a rough idea, and they won't delve into it at all.

In case you exceed the etiquette and be blamed by the prince in front of you... She didn't want to die young and die in a place like this without any achievements.

I saw that the little bean walked to the guqin with his skirt after speaking, Wu Yaoan was also a little drunk because of the spirits, and when he looked up, Wei Chi could clearly see the two blushes on the man's cheeks.

Xu is this wine is not known how many times stronger than Chang'an's, usually even Wu Yao'an, who has drunk wine, will subconsciously pay attention to etiquette, but now in this banquet hall, he is like the literati proudly talking about his own verses.

Seeing this, Wei Chi couldn't control those courtesies. Wu Yao'an is drunk, she has to end it early, otherwise she won't be able to bear it if something happens.

"Presumably, this sword can't get into the eyes of the prince, so it's better to give me a gun." After Wei Chi finished speaking, he looked at Wu Yao'an again, "Do you know this formation breaking song?" ”

I saw that Wu Yao'an was sleepy-eyed, swaying from side to side softly, and did not forget to nod, stretched out his hand and plucked the strings twice and said, "Good piano!" Good piano! ”
