Chapter 103: Linglong Tower One

The fundamental reason for the Xuan Tea Workshop, the most elegant place to taste tea in Ruoshui and the place where officials gather, is that it is another use of this Xuan Tea Workshop - the most secret and impermeable place in the world.

Wei Zixu's long plan before becoming the prince was also carried out in the Xuan Tea Workshop. And now, under Murphy's careful planning, the patriarch of the princeling party has long since died, and the position of the prince seems to be indestructible, but in fact it is like decay and bright appearance.

A dark blue carriage stopped outside the door of the Xuan Tea Workshop, and the tea shop maid immediately ran over to greet him, Ge Yiyan poked his head out first, looked vigilantly at both sides, lifted the corner of the door curtain, and Mo Fei, who was wearing a thin cloak with dark dark lines, stepped out of the car.

The owner of the tea shop opened the door and entered, bent down to salute, and said with a smile, "Lord Mo has not been here for many days, and this visit really makes the Xuan Tea Workshop shine!" This incense pavilion is small and has been taken care of, the adult's favorite purple Luo Xingyi incense is a little every three days, and the Jiangnan Qingyu is also ready at any time, ensuring that this incense pavilion can welcome the arrival of adults at all times, and the small ones dare not slack off. ”

Ge Yiyan snorted coldly and muttered, "Slap the horse!" ”

Murphy couldn't help twitching his lower nose, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the neatly arranged tea set on the tea table, only to see a wisp of ethereal steam slowly coming out from the slightly inclined tea lid, accompanied by an elegant aroma that hit people's noses. The smile on Murphy's face gradually deepened, "It's indeed Jiangnan Qingyu, the owner is interested, I don't know if this Jiangnan Qingyu was picked a few days ago?" ”

The owner nodded and said, "My lord is really high, this tea is picked before the Qingming Festival, only one bud and one leaf, the one with the highest craftsmanship, the best time to pick the time, can be made, my lord here is the best quality." ”

Murphy was satisfied: "You don't need to taste it to smell the unique aroma, and it's really not an ordinary tea." But I wonder how much this tea can be prepared? ”

The owner was stunned for a long time before he asked tremblingly, "What do you mean...... Got a guest today? ”

Murphy smiled and said nothing, and Ge Yiyan ordered: "Let you be prepared, where is so much nonsense!" ”

The owner said yes in a row, and immediately retreated, and from time to time someone sent Jiangnan Qingyu. Murphy glanced at the crack in the door, drank a cup of tea to himself, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After three cups of tea, Ge Yiyan couldn't sit still, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help opening the door to see. Just as he was about to complain, he heard a slow footstep approaching the place. Ge Yi hurriedly let go and obediently stood aside to greet him.

Liang Luan ignored the people next to the door, walked straight to Murphy, and sat down uninvited. With a wave of his robe, he was graceful, and even Ge Yiyan, who had been cold-faced, was a little distracted.

"My lord asked me to be here, do you still have the leisure to have tea?"

Murphy smiled, "Or else? Could it be that you could kill him? ”

"It's not easy to kill Zuo Qing!" Ge Yiyan said excitedly: "I said a long time ago that Zuo Qing is not credible, but you treat him like your own son, I can't figure it out, what do you like about him!" ”

"Zuo Qing is smarter than you and Ke'er, and they both have the means, but that's not enough?" The more Murphy talked, the more he wanted to laugh, it was ridiculous that a righteous son he had tried his best to cultivate had come to take revenge on him!

Ge Yiyan was still unconvinced: "So what, betrayal is betrayal!" ”

Liang Luan hurriedly played a round: "The little son of the singer is still smart, your uncle should encourage him a lot." ”

"Let's not talk about this for now, you said that you heard something, and it is hidden here, and no one will eavesdrop on it, you can tell it."

Liang Luan got closer to him before he said, "That night, the spy letter said that the origin of Su Yan and her master was unknown, so I sent someone to ask a few friends in the rivers and lakes. Generally, most people with vague backgrounds are linked to the rivers and lakes, and sure enough, I found Su Ming! This person is a martial arts wizard, and he has always been in the realm of Dugu's defeat in the rivers and lakes. But one year he disappeared, and in the same year, under the Kyoto Palace, there was an additional guard named Su Ming. ”

"Who?" Ge Yi asked.

"Su Ming, your family's guards, don't you know?" Liang Luan turned his head to him.

"Su Ming?" Ge Yiyan racked his brains before he remembered that there was such a number one person, patted his head, and said, "I remember, this person once served as the commander of the patrol army!" But then he suddenly disappeared, and there is no trace of him. ”

Liang Luan said: "You also have a sister named Ge Muyan, Su Ming disappeared when she ran away from home, you say, is this a coincidence?" Now the Mr. Su in the Seven Senses Academy is also surnamed Su. ”

Ge Yiyan suddenly realized: "Su Yan...... Ge Muyan ......" He suddenly rushed in front of Liang Luan, "What you said is true?" ”

"Why fake?"

"Su Yan? Su Yan! It turned out to be her! Ge Yiyan repeated her name, that strange person, the same father and sister who had been away for ten years, was actually in front of her!

He remembered his father's preference for that person when he was a child, his disregard for himself, and when he thought of him, he gritted his teeth with hatred!

Murphy was afraid that he would go out into the wilderness, and according to his temperament, he would ruin his own affairs, so he stretched out his hand and dragged him to the ground to warn: "You'd better give me some peace, you forgot how you were dismissed in the first place?" If you go out and talk nonsense, be careful with your skin! ”

Ge Yiyan came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Murphy asked Liang Luan, "Did you find out what she was doing when she came back suddenly?" ”

Liang Luan shook his head: "But what is certain is that it is no accident that he brought Su Yan back. The daughter of the prince, the orphan of the Xuan family, is not a good kind! Could it be that Ge Zheng retired and pretended? ”

Murphy fell into deep thought. He hadn't remembered the fire for years, and he had almost forgotten what Queen Yu looked like. He always thought it was seamless, but Ge Zheng's daughter and Zuo Qing teamed up to retaliate, could it be that there was a second person who knew about it ten years ago?

Xuanqing? Song Zheng?

Murphy closed his eyes in pain, pondered for a moment, and said to Liang Luan, "I want you to help me settle a person first." ”

"Who?"

"The eldest grandson has no dispute!"

Liang Luan was a little embarrassed for a while: "He? Didn't he just arrest our people, what are you going to do with him? ”

"After Tan Cen was beheaded, His Majesty appointed the prince to recommend the candidate, and now there are very few people who can be used in the three provinces and six departments, this eldest grandson is indisputable and boasts of being high, but in fact it is very realistic, but his ability is good. If you can find a breakthrough and use it for your own use, it will be a good chess piece. ”

Liang Luan had a plan: "I'm afraid that the eldest grandson is not arguing, we still have to start with the eldest grandson, but not by himself, but by borrowing a knife to kill." ”

"Looks like you've got a plan." Murphy finally had some comfort, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

"Eldest Sun Yue has always been kind to others, but..."Liang Luan looked at Murphy, "leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give you the most satisfactory result." ”

Murphy usually trusts this Liang Luan, but this time he actively made suggestions, and the unsuccessful Song Yiyan made negative teaching materials on the side, and he felt very grateful in his heart. He nodded, in agreement.

Murphy thought of something again, and instructed Ge Yiyan: "You go and keep an eye on the academy, especially Su Yan, to see who she interacts with on weekdays, and report back every day." Never exposed. ”

Ge Yi's heart was full of joy and hurriedly responded.

A figure flashed outside the door, and when everyone was immersed in this conspiracy, this figure jumped on the roof, climbed over the back alley, and disappeared into the second floor of Yunlai Pavilion.

Wind and rain, the world is impermanent; The shadows are beautiful, and the summer nights are short.

Seven Senses College has always advocated preferential treatment for students, and this positive culture has a long history and has not been abandoned to this day. Therefore, every New Year's festival will always move the public, and the students will be rewarded with a thorough prosperity, and by the way, they will set up a tent to give porridge and spread good karma, one is encouragement, the second is the rules, and the third is the faΓ§ade. Who made Emperor Rong have such a good face, and tried his best to tell the neighbors how prosperous their own industries are and how much they love the people.

Therefore, when the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, the academy launched the wind of doing good deeds again, and the four classes were suspended one after another, and each took its own students to run around Ruoshui, giving porridge, going to the doctor, and rebuilding, so it was not lively. At this time, a famine suddenly broke out in Hongji Town, the closest to Ruoshui City, and the district academy naturally couldn't cope with it, so it had to help the local government, and the county ordered the adults to open a warehouse for relief and maintain it temporarily. But the grain stored in the county government is just a drop in the bucket, and after a long time, the granary will see the bottom, and the imperial court will become the only straw. It's just that the imperial court is not having a good time, the enemy army on the border is coveting, and in recent days there have been frequent wars, and the imperial court has emptied most of the treasury to fill the military salary, and it is really helpless for a while for this famine that came out of thin air. Liang Luan, the secretary of Zhongshu Province, was in an important position, so he naturally couldn't escape the trouble of giving advice, running around, collecting donations, and even lobbying hundreds of officials to open their own treasury. After a few days, the iron roosters who are usually unplucked have been forced out of their family fortunes. In order to show fairness, he also took out some family funds. In this way, the famine was temporarily alleviated, but it was a lot of officials who suffered, not to mention the empty money bags, and in the end, Emperor Rong won the award, but it was Liang Luan who got the biggest bargain.

More than a month has passed, and Liang Luan has made great efforts in disaster relief, relieving the suffering of the people and the urgent needs of the king. Although Emperor Rong did not add an official to him, he specially gave him a seven-story glazed Linglong Relic Stupa as a tribute from Yan State, to show the king's attention to the ministers, and to let the officials see the benefits of contributing to the imperial court.

The Linglong Pagoda took nearly half a year to build by craftsmen, and the relics were enshrined in the Yanguo Buddhist Temple for more than 100 years, and its preciousness can be seen.

But in the end, Liang Luan did not accept such a big reward, but asked Emperor Rong to reward Su Yan of Shuyoutang, saying that it played the most important role in disaster relief and was loved by the people......

In just an hour, a reward was personally escorted by Liang Luan to the Seven Senses Academy.

Passing through the corridor, I saw Su Yan and Buddha Ji sitting cross-legged under the tree playing from a distance, and the entourage was about to raise their voices, but they were held down by the adults beside them. The three of them waited in the distance, waiting for the winner to be decided under the tree.

I could only hear a clear voice coming from behind me: "I don't know what this adult is called?" Ah Yu looked nervous and saluted Liang Luan and his party.

When Su Yan heard this, he hurriedly threw Yunzi to greet him, "I don't know if Lord Liang has arrived, and he will miss the welcome!" He arched his hand at him.

Liang Luan waved his hand, and the entourage raised the tray in his hand slightly, and the things on the tray were covered with red silk cloth, "Your Majesty has a reward, Mr. Su has a meritorious service in disaster relief, and he is an example of the academy, and he is specially given a seven-layer glazed exquisite relics pagoda as a tribute from Yan Kingdom." Liang Luan lifted the cloth, the treasure revealed its true face, the tower body was extremely clear, and the color was soft.

Su Yan hurriedly knelt down, but his arms were supported by a pair of hands, and Liang Luan's voice came from above his head: "Your Majesty said, Mr. Su is a rare strange woman in Rongguo, whether it is her mind, courage, or ability, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people." lest you go and bow down, but stand and receive it. ”

"Your Majesty's reputation is overrated, and it's all within its bounds. It's just that the disaster relief is not my credit alone, but the contribution of everyone in the academy and the six departments of the three provinces, why does Your Majesty only reward me? ”

"Your Majesty naturally rewarded all of them, but Mr. Su got a unique reward here."

"That left... What about them in the West Building? Su Yan hid his panic and pretended to ask calmly.

"Your Majesty naturally has a decision, why should Sister Su be persistent." Buddha said to her from afar, his voice was clear, like an ice fountain. Liang Luan was shocked suddenly, and subconsciously looked at her, but he was confused.

Su Yan inadvertently saw Liang Luan's strange expression, and suddenly discovered something, but he didn't mention it, but only said: "How can the adult come to deliver the decree in person, isn't this tormenting me!" ”

Liang Luan hurriedly retracted his thoughts: "Chengen's father-in-law went elsewhere to announce the decree, and the official is also idle, plus I also borrowed the treasure to come to see the rumored Mr. Su, what kind of person is it!" ”

Su Yan smiled and said: "Lord Liang has a good reputation, it is really a blessing to be appreciated by His Majesty and your lordship... However, such a valuable reward is really wronged to be placed in my room, so it is better to put it in Broken Cloud Xuan or..."

"Mr. Su doesn't have to refuse, you can just put it away with peace of mind and put it in the school, which has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and driving away evil spirits." Liang Luan smiled and was very approachable, "This is also Your Majesty's expectation, I hope that the academy can provide an endless stream of materials for the imperial court and create the greatest hope for the future of Rong Guo!" ”

"Your Majesty has high hopes, I will do my best!" Su Yan said, looking at the Linglong Pagoda, thinking that he would put it in the center of the school tomorrow for all the students to enjoy. was yearning for it, and Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of Liang Luan's strange eyes, some in a hurry, and some in disguise. Yi Duo glanced at him twice, and sure enough, a hint of discoloration flashed in Liang Luan's eyes, and he turned to an easy-going smile and said: "Mr. Su, the official's beloved daughter has been in Shuyoutang for some time, and Mr. Lao Su will take care of her. He motioned to his entourage to present something, "This official also has something, it is not a tribute, and it is annoying Mr. Su." ”

On the other side, there was a young man dressed as an entourage who stepped forward to present something, a lacquered wood square box, containing a pair of agate bracelets, the texture is excellent, but the poor gentleman inexplicably has an extra pair of bracelets in his hand, isn't it sent to the door for others to speculate?

Su Yan looked at him alertly, and smiled pretendly, but his heart was quickly sorting out those clues that were so small that they were invisible. On the surface, he accepted the gift very calmly, and bowed and said: "Thank you, my lord, I will definitely collect it and live up to my good intentions." ”

"Then the beloved daughter will bother Mr. Su, and the official still has important matters, so I won't accompany him first."

"Slow down, adults."

Su Yan watched him leave, completely disappeared into the courtyard, and then paced back to the chessboard.

"What are you thinking?" Buddha asked her. Su Yan sat cross-legged, only to find that after only a while, Buddha Zhan played a game of chess with himself, and there was no win or loss, but the situation was becoming more and more difficult to solve.

Su Yan frowned at this game of chess, turned his head to look at the box sent by Liang Luan, suddenly stood up suddenly, and explained to Ah Yan in a panic: "Send this thing to Yanzhen." ”

"Huh?!" Ah Yan thought he had misheard, "Sir, why do you want to give it to the general?" Such a good agate bracelet, Ah Yu has never seen it! ”

But the Buddha understood the meaning and smiled without saying a word.

Su Yan paced two more steps, turned to her and said, "No, just throw it into the ditch behind your house after dark, the deeper the better!" ”

"Huh?!" Ah Yan's voice was one layer higher, and he hurriedly snatched the box, clenched his fists, frowned, and said firmly, "Sir, this is a gift from Lord Liang, if you let him know that you lost the bracelet, you can't..."

"You just do it, your husband has his own plans." Buddha said to Ah Yu.

Ah Yu sighed and reluctantly left.

"Then what are you going to do with this exquisite tower?" The Buddha's tone seemed to be asking something very ordinary.

Su Yan looked worried: "You also found out?" His Majesty's decree just now did not explain how to deal with the Linglong Tower, but he specially instructed me to put it in the school, if it wasn't for the later look and demeanor that betrayed him, because of that set of rhetoric, I am afraid that I would have been fooled! ”

"You're still watching so closely?"

"He said he came to see me, but when you talked, he couldn't take his eyes off! How could such a blinding villain come to visit because a teaching gentleman was famous, and he specially came instead of the eunuch who passed the decree, isn't it unreasonable? If it weren't for the fact that you came here for another purpose, it wasn't because of me anyway. ”

The Buddha pinched the clouds, but he didn't fall for a long time: "Oh? Then what is his purpose, you say? ”

Su Yan grabbed a cloud and tapped it lightly on the chessboard, "He first sent a reward to the eunuch on behalf of him, and then deliberately set it closely, and after I found out about his abnormality, he hurriedly sent a bracelet to divert my attention... I'm afraid this bracelet is specially used to confuse me, and Liang Qiluo is also his tool, so that I think he is just building a good relationship for his daughter. In this way, the most important thing can be missed - the Linglong Tower! But he miscalculated, I'm not the kind of person who can be easily deceived and bought! ”

Buddha sneered: "A foolproof game, there is no room for mistakes, but he thinks he is seamless, but he uses the wrong person, heh, this is to set up a blame and stir up trouble in the academy." ”

"We're all in one place! He wants to trick me into putting the Linglong Pagoda in the school, there are many people in the school, and it is inevitable that there will be fights and collisions, once the Linglong Pagoda is damaged, I will suffer! She thought about it for a while, and felt unreasonable, "But, why do I need them to care about my little person? Liang Luan has no personal enmity with me, so why should he harm me..."

The cloud in the Buddha's hand fell on the chessboard, and her expression gradually became solemn: "He is just a strategist who gives advice, and it may not be you who kills." ”

"You're saying that the person behind it is... Is it Murphy? Su Yan thought calmly for a long time, and came to the most likely conclusion: "The huge academy, except for the West Building and Zuo Qing, are just fledgling children, and Mr. Sitang has no direct interest in him, to be honest, Mo Fei will not provoke such a hard stone, and the West Building has always been low-key... Zuo Qing! ”

Buddha said meaningfully: "There is no absolute enemy in the world, let alone absolute relatives. ”

The more Su Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became, what kind of person was Murphy, he could be so suspicious, and suspicious people have always been cruel and ruthless!

Perhaps, he had already begun to suspect it, but there was no evidence. Therefore he will come to the temptation and put him to the test by my hand. ”

"How can you test it with the Linglong Tower?" Buddha felt that it still didn't make sense.

"God knows!" Su Yan became more and more frightened in his heart, but he was inexplicably looking forward to it.

With a 'click', the white child in the Buddha's hand fell, and the corners of his mouth showed a victorious smile, "If you don't play with me, I can only play for you with my left hand, and now that my right hand has won, what do you think of the money method?" ”

Su Yan still has the heart to play this, absent-mindedly: "In his plan, I should supply the Linglong Pagoda tomorrow, then, something will happen tomorrow, I want to see how they want to frame me, and how to use my hand to achieve their dirty purpose!" ”

Buddha looked up at her, and his eyes seemed to penetrate her mind: "You forgot one thing. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You will be very concerned about the things that Your Majesty has rewarded, how can you let the students collide, how can Liang Luan not send someone to add fuel to the fire in order to succeed in planting false goods."

Su Yan suddenly realized: "You mean... Liang Qiluo? ”

At this point, the Buddha asked, "If one day, Zuo Qing becomes a person like Murphy, what will you do?" ”

As soon as Su Yan heard her ask Zuo Qing again, he hurriedly got up to leave: "What does he have to do with me?" By the way, I just arrived at goat milk this morning, and Xilou said before that I wanted to eat goat milk cake, um... Do it now, you can eat it in the evening, let's go first! ”

Buddha hung his face, stared at a game of chess, and said to himself: "He doesn't like to eat goat milk cake, do you don't understand him, or did he forget?" ”

A few tears fell on the clouds and slid down, and the wooden chessboard deepened.
