Fengming Tower is on the riverside, and it is the most crowded riverside.

Its location is right in the middle of Yuhang County.

In any corner of the city, as long as you look up, you can see two buildings, one is the magnificent Dabei Tower, and the other is the luxurious Fengming Tower.

The top floor of the Great Compassion Building is the golden Buddha with four elephant jade faces, the legend is that the host of the Lingyin Temple personally carried it back from the Western Regions, this Buddha has four sides, weighs a thousand catties, it is difficult to lift ten people on weekdays, it can be seen that the strength of the host is strong.

And the roof of Fengming Tower is written a huge phoenix word, to say that this phoenix word is more valuable, it is the word that Her Royal Highness Princess Changfeng personally went up to inscribe, no less than the book of creation, so it has created the current status of Fengming Tower.

It is indeed an extremely difficult thing to enter Fengming Tower, there are three valves at the door, the first is the welcome road, if you are dressed in tatters, don't want to walk in, a line of martial arts will throw you out directly.

So when you want to enter Fengming Tower, you have to wear your best clothes.

The second is the Shanshui Road, the name is very good, but in fact it is the most snobbish, what you want is your position in this landscape, which is obviously a huge faction in the scholar family, and everyone who enters the door has their own faction and their own team.

The four famous clans are the most powerful of the Shi Dafu family factions, the Huangzhou Qin family, the Xuzhou Fan family, the Linzhou Jia family, the Guangzhou Pang family, and the Shaoyang Bu Shi Dafu, which is their highest honor, but now it has evolved more and more, and it has become: the four surnames are still smiling and proud of the princess even if they are cloth.

If you want to be an official in Shaoyang, in addition to the stinky and long road of the imperial examination, you are more backed by scholars, and with the support of the scholars, you can directly rise to prominence.

The third valve of Fengming Tower is the most critical.

Fame.

Even if you are a member of the scholar's family, who really knows how many people there are in the scholar's family? If you can't come out by name, you can only drink tea on the first floor of Fengming Building, how can you enter the high-rise?

Therefore, at this time, Chu Xiuran could only sit obediently on the first floor.

Even if he is the eight-pin county lieutenant of Yuhang County, he can only sit and drink tea on the first floor.

Fortunately, Chu Xiuran was not in a hurry, he just waited quietly, he didn't know what he was waiting for, but the old Taoist priest asked him to wait and naturally waited.

Chu Xiuran asked for a pot of tea, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a large group of people from the fifth floor surrounding a handsome boy and a girl walking to the third floor, he didn't know the boy and the girl, but he felt that the two of them must not be ordinary people, although Chu Xiuran was also the family of the clan, but in the end, the clan scholars, the difference of one word was thousands of miles, so it seems, the girl must be the daughter of everyone, and the son on the side wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiuran's heart shook a sour feeling, the cold wind outside the door was cold, what were the family members of those dead children thinking? These people are having a lot of fun here, but they are still grieving and grieving for the loss of their son.

Helpless, helpless!

Chu Xiuran took a sip of tea, and suddenly fixed his eyes and saw a person in the crowd.

"Shi Zirui?"

Chu Xiuran frowned and was puzzled, "Why is he here?" ”

Shi Zirui is the eldest son of the Shi family, and is the younger brother of Shi Qiang who once had a marriage contract with him, at the time of the marriage contract, he also had a relationship with Shi Zirui, this Shi family is just a cloth merchant's family, Shi Zirui is not a famous family nor a dignitary, how can he appear here?

He can only sit here as a county lieutenant, but why can Shi Zirui go to the upper floor?

Shi Qiang?

The guilt in Chu Xiuran's heart fell like a flood.

Shi Qiang and him are classmates, and they studied together in Yuhang County, which is also the reason why Chu Xiuran must come to Yuhang County after entering the official career, he is just to find Shi Qiang and continue the frontier. Although the family did not agree very much, but after Chu Xiuran's soft grinding and hard foaming, it can be regarded as making the father in a high position reluctantly agree to this marriage.

But who would have expected that as soon as the marriage contract was decided, Shi Qiang would die.

Chu Xiuran, who thought that it was providence, could only use alcohol to dispel his sorrows every day, and he did not interfere in the affairs of the county party for a long time, which led to the urgency of the situation now and was forced to solve the case.

Chu Xiuran frowned, and said in his heart: "It shouldn't be, he can't be in this position anyway, this upstairs is not an ordinary upstairs, but a leap of class, is it possible that Shi Zirui has made friends with the disciples of the scholar clan during this time?" Ordinary clans would definitely not be able to bring businessmen into Fengming Tower, only the children of the scholar clan could do so. ”

Thinking of this, Chu Xiuran didn't care anymore, he kept playing with the jade pendant handed over to him by the old way in his hand, and there were many thoughts in his heart: "He is him, I am me, now I am not a family, naturally I don't have to care, how people live is someone else's business, what does it have to do with me?" ”

The group above had just settled, but a voice suddenly appeared, "Lord County Lieutenant!" ”

Chu Xiuran turned his head to look over, standing on the second floor and calling for himself, it was Shi Zirui, he arched his hands, saluted highly, and said with an awe-inspiring expression: "Lord County Lieutenant, I don't know if I have time to come to the second floor to talk?" ”

Chu Xiuran didn't know why, but he didn't get up, just stared at him and said, "You're looking for me?" ”

Shi Zirui said: "It's not me, it's this son, Jia Qing, you must know who he is?" ”

I know he's a hairy huh?

Although Chu Xiuran didn't know, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know, and immediately smiled and said, "Look up for a long time." ”

Shi Zirui's face was much more comfortable: "Linzhou Jia Shinai is one of the four surnames, Jia Gongzi wants to make friends with the county lieutenant of Chu, I don't know what the county lieutenant thinks?" ”

Chu Xiuran's heart chuckled.

Although he doesn't know who Jia Qing is, he is one of the four surnames of Linzhou Jiashi, and he is very familiar with it.

He raised his head and looked at Shi Zirui above.

Shi Zirui's words are not much different from directly holding the knife rack on the neck, and if people can move the surname of Linzhou Jia Shi out, they have already explained the meaning that you Chu Xiuran will not come up today, and you will die tomorrow. Chu Xiuran naturally couldn't say anything, and immediately said, "Okay." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the second floor.

There were many more guests on the second floor than on the first floor, and the sounds of joy around them came and went, but if you looked closely, you could see that no matter who it was, they had to avoid the place where Jia Shi of Linzhou was, and they sat there leisurely, and the son who was called Jia Qing in the middle was shaking the folding fan in his hand and looking at Chu Xiuran with a smile, but he didn't get up.

Chu Xiuran walked in front of everyone, only to find that the only person who could sit with them on the white goose plush collapsed was the girl who was surrounded before, and the others were all standing.

"This is the county lieutenant of Yuhang County, Chu Xiuran." Shi Zirui didn't seem to want to give up this opportunity to show his face, and when Chu Xiuran came over, he stepped forward directly to introduce him.

Unexpectedly, Jia Qing didn't buy it, he didn't even glance at Shi Zirui, he looked at Chu Xiuran very clearly, and said with a smile: "County Lieutenant Chu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of the jade pendant in your hand, where did it come from?" ”

Chu Xiuran looked down at the jade pendant in his hand, and shouted in his heart that it was like this, but he was still calm and calm on the surface: "Do you know this thing?" ”

Jia Qing said: "Not bad. ”

Chu Xiuran said: "This is yours?" ”

Jia Qing said again: "Not bad." ”

Chu Xiuran was silent, he didn't know what to say next, how this thing appeared in his hands, why it appeared in his hands, and who it had to do with it, he couldn't say a word.

Jia Qing seemed to see something, and said slowly: "This jade was lost a few days ago, fortunately the county lieutenant of Chu helped me find it, thank you." ”

He stretched out his hand, and someone on the side immediately walked in front of Chu Xiuran and stretched out his hand to bring the jade.

But suddenly a hand grabbed Chu Xiuran's hand and dragged him back.

"I don't think this thing is worth a lot of money, you are so well dressed, how can it be yours?"

Chu Xiuran turned his head to look at it, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed.

"Bai Yujing!"
