Hearing Sima You's words, Sima Xunian was also very puzzled.

"Yuming, you tell him where you came from."

Yuming...... Five years ago, her name was Zhou Xianzhi, the daughter of Zhou Dingbang, who was then the doctor of the fourth product of the province, and Shen Yong's uncle was the doctor of the fourth product, and my father was not only his deputy, colleague, but also a friend. The 'Tibetan slave law' that brought disaster to many people was deliberated by Uncle Shen and my father. ”

Sima Xunian didn't have the opportunity to read the case file of that year, so he knew what happened, but the details inside were not clear, he knew the name Zhou Dingbang, but he almost never paid attention to it.

"Later, my father and Uncle Shen were convicted and searched together, the men were exiled, and the female dependents were confiscated. But soon, my sister was transferred away, and I didn't know where she had gone, and she didn't know before she left. ”

"That's right, Shen Jiyue was transferred away, I found Xianzhi and knew about it, so I privately looked for an acquaintance in the Ministry of Rites to check the records, and found that there was only one record about her, that is, from Yangzhou to Yuzhou, I rushed to Yingchuan, Yuzhou, and went to the Teaching Department to find out, and there was no gain. Therefore, she was not in Yuzhou at first, but later she was sent to Yuzhou, no one expected it, and she would not go back and look for her again, so I have never been able to find her, which is also where Song Yunli is clever. ”

Sima Xunian's original intention to find Shen Jiyue was not because of the slave hiding case, but because of some past events between the two families, but now, he found that he had been completely pulled into this historical case and could not get out.

Sima You continued, "She was one year younger than Shen Jiyue, and when I came to Yangzhou to look for her, she happened to be a naturalist, so I took her under wrap to save her from the dust. In the blink of an eye, three or four years have passed. Brother Xunian, since your class returned to the court, I have never looked for you, because as far as I know, you have nothing to do with the Tibetan slave case, so I have no intention of making friends. But then I found out that you actually found Shen Jiyue and brought her back to Chang'an, I thought it wasn't simple, but I couldn't figure out how you got involved. ”

Zhou Xianzhi was also very curious when she heard Sima You's words.

"Naturally, I don't have Lord Sima's ambition to set things right and help the community. I looked for Shen Jiyue to find Shen Yong, and I looked for Shen Yong because of some past events from a long time ago. However, I now find that those past events are not as simple as I originally thought, but no matter what, I must find Shen Yong himself. ”

"Brother Xunian, will those past events of yours hurt Shen Yong's life?"

"In this way, do you know that Shen Yong is still alive? Do you know his whereabouts?! Sima Xunian suddenly stood up and looked at Sima You.

"Will you hurt him?" Sima You looked directly at Sima Xunian.

All of a sudden, all the past came to his mind, as calm as he was, and his thoughts were already messy...... Will it hurt Shen Yong's life...... When he was not in the army, he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to kill Shen Yong and avenge his father! In order to enter the court and get a chance, he can only join the army, because killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is the fastest promotion channel. However, just as the door is as deep as the sea, the border is not peaceful, there is no home, and the body is involuntarily. But after years of war, he has seen countless broken families, and his personal grievances have long been melted into the white bones of the border pass. He decided that after the class master returned to the court, he would ask Shen Yong for an explanation and give his father an explanation, so as to comfort his spirit in the sky, and the rest would be exhausted and scattered with fate. But a few years later, the Tibetan slave case broke out, Shen Yong was shipwrecked on the way to exile and his whereabouts are unknown, he didn't believe that Shen Yong was dead, so he began to investigate, during the investigation, he gradually found that his father's unjust case was not simple, and all things, only Shen Yong was the one who witnessed it, and he had to find him!

Sima Xunian looked at Sima You coldly and directly, and the two seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Zhou Xianzhi saw this situation, afraid of causing trouble, and hurriedly mediated, "The two adults are calm and don't be impatient, and have something to say." This is the Teaching Division, Xue Gongzi is still there, don't disturb him. ”

When Sima You heard this, he calmed down, "Shen Yong is a good person who governs the country in the world, and I won't let him take risks." ”

"I won't hurt his life, I just want to ask for an explanation", Sima Xunian sat down, raised his glass and drank it all. After all, his father's death was not directly caused by him, not to mention, even if he was guilty, his daughter also paid it back......

"Okay, Xianzhi, let's go over there."

"Hmm", Zhou Xianzhi left the stage when she heard this.

Sima Xunian returned to his entourage, followed Sima You and Zhou Xianzhi out of the Teaching Workshop Division, and got into the carriage prepared by the Division for the guests. Zhou Xianzhi's Sima You's private prostitute, it is normal to leave with the master at night, and it can be sent back early the next morning.

The carriage turned around and came to a residential house in the corner, and after the carriage put down the three of them, they returned to the Teaching Division, Sima You knocked on the door, and soon there was a voice of inquiry from the door, "Which one?" ”

It was clearly a young man's voice, and Sima Xunian suddenly became alert.

"It's me, Xianzhi."

After a while, the door opened, and the man who greeted him quickly held Zhou Xianzhi's hands, the night was already deep, and Sima Xunian couldn't see the person's appearance clearly.

"Let's get in the door." After Sima You spoke, a group of four people quickly entered the house, and the man did not forget to observe the surroundings before locking the door to make sure that no one was following.

When he came to the hall, the candle flame was lit, and Sima Xu finally saw the man's appearance clearly in the middle of the year, and he was suddenly shocked, "Shen Guangfeng!" ”

"Sima Xunian!" Shen Guangfeng couldn't help but be stunned, and in the next quarter of an hour, he straightened up Sima Xunian's shirt and asked angrily, "What about Ji Yue?!" What happened to Ji Yue?! ”

Seeing this scene, Sima You hurriedly separated the two, thinking that they hadn't seen each other for many years, and the two of them said each other's names as soon as they met, and it seemed that the two of them had a good relationship.

The four of them sat at the table, and Sima Xunian and Shen Guangfeng, who had calmed down, fell silent.

"No matter what you think, my father really didn't know about what happened back then......" Shen Guangfeng broke the silence.

"But my father was indeed relegated to the bitter cold land of Liaodong and died in a foreign land, and those untruths that slandered him did come from the documents that were reviewed and sealed by your father!"

"Wait a minute, before you settle each other, can you tell me and Xianzhi what is going on between the two of you!" Sima You raised his voice.

"Brother Yu, my father and Brother Xunian's father have been friends for many years, and later became officials in the same dynasty. Ten years ago, Sima Shibo planned to serve as a waiter from the Sanpin Ministry of Officials, and according to the rules, the Ministry of Officials should issue his resume, first submit it to the Ministry of Men for review, and then hand it over to the Zhongshu Province, and the Zhongshu Province will arrange the follow-up procedures according to the review book. ”

"The person who considered my father was Shen Yong, who was the doctor from the fourth grade at the time." Sima Xunian took over, "Shen Yong knew about an old dispute with my father, so he slandered my father in the deliberation book, and after the review envelope was sent to the Zhongshu Province, the Zhongshu Province immediately handed over the Yushitai for a thorough investigation. In a fit of rage, His Majesty demoted my father to Liaodong County to serve as a Wupin County Governor, and ordered my father to reflect on his mistakes. When Sima Xunian said this, his expression was sad, and the joints of his fists were slightly white, "My father has always regarded Shen Yong as a close friend, and he couldn't imagine that such a close friend would slander him and be deeply hit, coupled with the bitter cold of Liaodong, my father was extremely difficult to adapt, and the double torture made him seriously ill and died in a foreign land, and his mother was overly sad, and soon followed his father. ”

"My father really didn't write those slanderous words, and he really didn't know why these things appeared in the deliberation book......" Although Shen Guangfeng was very puzzled, he also believed in his father's character and integrity, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing that violated his feelings.

"Wait," Sima You began to interject, "I wonder why you didn't send it to Dali Temple for a thorough investigation?" The Imperial Historical Observatory only performs the function of supervision, reporting the faults of hundreds of officials, and is not qualified to make a judgment of guilt. Today's saints hate the unfilial piety of their sons, the disloyalty of their ministers, and the unkindness of their officials, so they attach great importance to the supervision function of the Imperial Historical Observatory. Directly crossing the Dali Temple and offering it by the Imperial History Terrace, the significance is to emphasize that this is not an ordinary civil dispute, but an official integrity, which is poking at the hatred of His Majesty. If you can trust me, when I return to the capital, I will carefully consult the relevant files of that year and give you an explanation. But at present, we still have an important matter to do, Brother Xunian, don't forget your status as an envoy. ”

"Of course I know my mission," Sima Xunian paused, pulled himself back from his memories, regained his composure, and said, "The reason why I went to Yangzhou in advance was to find a place to settle the Tibetan silver when they were transferring it, but unfortunately, we dug all over Yangzhou, and we had no clue. ”

When Shen Guangfeng heard this, he glanced at him and said, "The way they are hiding is so secretive, you naturally can't find out." ”

"You know?!" Sima Xunian asked in surprise.

"My father and I escaped death at sea five years ago, and finally returned to Nanhai Port, and then quietly arrived in Yangzhou with Persian merchant ships, originally just wanted to find my sister, and the family lived peacefully together. But after returning to Yangzhou, he found that his sister had no idea, and could only find Xianzhi, and his father knew that he was not a person, so he had no choice but to settle down in Yangzhou and slowly search. Later, Brother Yu appeared, he helped us save Xianzhi, and also confessed to us that he wanted to rehabilitate the 'Tibetan slave case'. It is not easy to rehabilitate, but they can only cut off the financial resources of their group first, and then break them individually. Since then, my father and I have been mingling with the shipwrights, trying to find evidence of collusion between officials and businessmen and the transfer of interests. ”

"Where is it hidden? can actually hide it from me and Sima Xunian. Sima Yu said.

"What happened to my sister?!" Shen Guangfeng questioned Sima Xunian again.

"Not good."

"You!"

"Brother Guangfeng, don't be impatient, since Ji Yue arrived in Chang'an, I often go to the Jiaofang Division to inspect, she is very good."

"On the surface, it may seem very good, but behind the scenes, I don't know how to be poisoned by him!"

Sima Xunian was speechless for a while, if Shen Jiyue didn't love herself at all, then the things he did to her were not poisonous? He couldn't refute it, so he had to be cold and silent.

Sima You coughed and stopped talking, he couldn't guarantee that Sima Xunian wouldn't do anything to Shen Jiyue.

"The three adults, Sister Jiyue's matter, naturally have to have an explanation. But the current situation is already very urgent, Xue Yingke, the son of Xue Yang, has been banqueting major maritime merchants in the Jiaofang Division for several nights in a row, probably conspiring to transfer the stolen silver. ”

The three of them were immediately alert.
