Chapter 56: Temptation

After recuperating from the wind for a few days, the whole person has a lot of energy, but the bruises on the eyes have not disappeared, and the eyes are still a little red and swollen. But it basically doesn't affect his daily activities, and thanks to him by Ruan Mingjiao's side this time, he can be regarded as a perfect completion of the task.

When Bai Ran came to him, he had been resting for many days, and every time he wanted to come back to do things, he was blocked by Yan Zheng with his cultivation. Now that he heard that his family had another task for him, he immediately came to his mental head, and he was not alone on the couch, so he immediately jumped up and changed his clothes, and followed Bai Ran to the study.

The four of them met in the study, and as soon as they entered the room, Bai Ran felt that the atmosphere between Yan Zheng and Ruan Mingjiao in the house was wrong, and he suppressed the doubts in his heart and didn't say much.

On the contrary, it was Congfeng, who had always been very smug and had no scheming, and he had not seen Yan Zheng for many days, and when he saw his family, his eyes immediately turned red, with a slight sadness, "My lord, if you don't look for me again, I really think you are going to send me away." ”

"......" Yan Zheng saw him so excited, his face was dark for no reason, and he really couldn't guess where his sometimes sentimentality came from, so he glared at him with squinted eyes and asked him to be normal.

As soon as Feng Feng saw Yan Zheng glaring at him, all the sensational words that he had held back for a long time were swallowed, and he could only blink aggrievedly and look at Ruan Mingjiao on the side.

"Bai Ran, this is given to me by Li Cailian." Yan Zheng ignored it and handed the letter and agreement to Bai Ran, motioning for him to check it.

Bai Ran took the thing, lowered his head and glanced at it a few times, but he also felt that something was wrong, and frowned. Yan Zheng then continued, "There is only a virtual shell left in Huajing Village, and Zhang Hu has transferred things, but no one knows where he took so many gold, silver and fire oil weapons. I suspect that there is someone behind him, he is just a pawn lurking around Zhang He, and there are people behind all this, if he is a person in the palace, then if these gold and silver are taken, if it is for something else to build momentum for a certain highness? ”

What he said was a little subtle, but the other three people present understood what he meant, someone used the flower mirror village to make the purchase of gunpowder weapons a legitimate thing, in order to store force, then their purpose was not to raise an army to rebel.

When there were only Ruan Mingjiao and Yan Zheng, he had already expressed his worries, and let Bai Ran and Congfeng come in order to confirm his guess, Yan Zheng raised his eyes to look at Congfeng, and ordered: "You send a letter back to Beijing to the prince, tell him the truth about the situation on our side, and ask the prince to find out who this eunuch Wu Yong was back then." ”

"Bai Ran, you stay here to protect Li Cailian's safety."

The two of them immediately received the order and bowed, and Bai Ran looked up at him again, puzzled: "Then lord, where are you going?" ”

Yan Zheng glanced at him and looked at the door, "I'll meet Fang Ming." ”

"What about us?" Ruan Mingjiao saw that the two of them were leaving, but Yan Zheng stayed aside and didn't speak, she was a little confused.

Ruan Mingjiao wanted to go back to Ningcheng to ask Du Zhong to check the pulse again, so naturally she also wanted to go back with Yan Zheng, and the three of them split into two roads early in the morning, all the way to the north, all the way to Ningzhou.

Ningcheng and Yizhou are only a day and a night away, but it is not far, and the official road is also taken halfway, which is quite stable, and the carriage of the two stopped at the gate of Ningcheng's government office the next night.

Fang Ming received the news early in the morning and knew that Yan Zheng was going to come back, so he stayed outside the door early in the morning, and now when he saw the carriage, he immediately stepped down the steps and greeted him.

"I've seen the county lord, I've seen Lord Yan!"

Yan Zheng took the lead in getting out of the carriage, ignoring his slumped body, and turned around to help Ruan Mingjiao get out of the car, Fang Ming knew that Ruan Mingjiao was the county lord and knew about Yan Chunlou's performance that night, he didn't expect the county lord to be willing to do this, and he was a little admired and a little flustered for a while.

Therefore, now Yan Zheng doesn't care much about his attitude of ignoring him, but a lot of sweat has already oozed from his palms, and he doesn't know how these two ancestors didn't leave after they finished suppressing the bandits.

"Lord Fang doesn't need to be polite, let's get up." Ruan Mingjiao got out of the carriage and knew at a glance that Yan Zheng was deliberately embarrassing him, so she became a good person.

When Fang Ming heard this voice, he smiled and nodded his head again and again, only then did he straighten his waist, and when he saw Ruan Mingjiao, he was stunned again, he was flustered that night, and he was far away and didn't see clearly, now that he was close at hand, he had a chance to see clearly.

The person in front of him is as bright as the moon, a cold and noble temperament, although he is dressed plainly, he is not vulgar, but a little more decent and generous, the braid tied into a ponytail is slightly playful, and a small face is as white as the moonlight in the sky, and he is really a beauty embryo.

"Lord Fang!" Yan Zheng snorted loudly, calling his thoughts back.

"Hey, hey!" Fang Ming was slightly embarrassed, lowered his head in a panic, didn't dare to look at Yan Zheng with angry eyes, raised his hand and asked inside: "County Lord, my lord, please inside!" ”

Yan Zheng glared at him, pulled Ruan Mingjiao around him, and walked up the stairs into the courtyard, his actions in holding Ruan Mingjiao in the past two days were really skillful in Thailand, and he didn't twist and embarrass for a while, but made Ruan Mingjiao nervous and panicked as soon as he touched her.

The two sat down in the side hall, Fang Ming got up behind him, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to look at the tea for the two of them, and he was about to step aside.

"Lord Fang!" Yan Zheng slapped the table and slapped a letter on the table, his tone was extremely unkind, his face was solemn, and his eyes looked at Fang Ming with a cold air.

Fang Ming's body shook involuntarily, and he stood up again: "Yes!" ”

"This official got something today, why don't you help me take a look." Yan Zheng patted the thing under his hand, meaning something.

Fang Ming glanced at the two of them at this time, and saw that Ruan Mingjiao's expression was calm, although he was beating the drum in his heart, he still had the courage to walk over, took the paper and checked it, as soon as he saw the content inside, his face immediately changed.

"My lord, this ......"

"Why, Lord Fang doesn't recognize it?" Yan Zheng's expression was calm, and his tone was full of authority, so frightened that Fang Ming immediately knelt down to kowtow.

"My lord clearly checked, the lower officials never signed such a contract, this is slander, slander! Adults check it out! ”

"Really? Come. Yan Zheng raised his eyebrows and shouted outside.

Before Fang Ming could understand the situation in front of him, he saw a soldier in formal clothes pressing the two of them up outside the door, it was none other than Su Yun and Qi Zhou, and there were things wrapped in silk cloth, and the soldiers handed over the silk things to Yan Zheng, which was a private seal.

He immediately became unstable and almost fell to the ground, Qi Zhou and Su Yun were pressed to the ground and knelt together, and his expression was only frightened except for panic.

No wonder Fang Ming only saw Yan Zheng and Ruan Mingjiao's carriage at the door, the feeling was that the others had gone to arrest Su Yun and Qi Zhou, Yan Zheng saw that the private seals and contracts of the two of them could be matched, and turned his head to look at Fang Ming, "Lord Fang, what about yours?" ”

Fang Ming told the place where the private seal was hidden, and the soldier went to the study and found the thing.

"You are such an official when you join forces with bandits, helping bandits endanger the people, this is a capital crime in Beili, I only ask you once, what about dirty silver?"

The three of them didn't speak, so Yan Zheng asked people to search, and finally found several boxes of treasures in Fang Ming's pool, sent someone to drain the pool, and brought the box up to the big guy, which was full of silver and jewels with white flowers.

Fang Ming and the others saw that the matter had been revealed, and they had long lost the mind to refute, and now they knelt aside, kowtowing and begging for mercy, but Yan Zheng had an unaware face, his face was cold and terrible, and his voice was not half emotional in the night, "Fang Ming is a parent official, corrupt and pervert the law, and bandits endanger the people, the most added level, after the battle of fifty, escorted to Beijing, by His Majesty, Su Yun is Sima, Qizhou is to join the army, not only did not persuade him, but instead made a conspiracy, aiding the abuse, it is really an abominable battle of thirty escorts to Beijing." ”

The soldier took the order and escorted the three of them down, the three begged for mercy all the way but didn't see any pity in Yan Zheng's eyes, they are the most favorable evidence he has now, naturally he can't let them die, staying here will only make people kill people, it is better to send them to Beijing.

After he finished ordering, he recruited the books and officials under Fang Ming and others, and wrote the letter of confession on the letter overnight and brought it back by the soldiers around him.

When everything was settled, when he went back to look for Ruan Mingjiao, she had already found a side room to sleep, and he stood outside the door before leaving.

Early in the morning, Du Zhong came to check the pulse for her, and Bai Ran sent a letter over, saying that it was a letter from the commander who went to Jinzhou first.

There were more and more displaced people in Jinzhou, which led to the epidemic disease also beginning to spread wantonly, and the commander had sent people back to Beijing to ask for disaster relief, and asked people to send a letter to ask him to rush to Jinzhou as soon as possible if the matter of Ningcheng was solved.

So, after Du Zhong prescribed the second and third stages of the pharmacy, they converged with Bai Dye and began to go south to Jinzhou.

In the capital, after rushing back from the wind to deliver a letter and telling the prince about the eunuch Wu Yong, the prince had some influence and ordered the Ministry of Officials to sort out the employment book, which was the only time to discover Wu Yong's affairs.

As early as half a year ago, Wu Yong was sent out of the palace with tuberculosis, and his life and death are unknown. If you don't get sick early or don't get sick late, but you are sick at this juncture, Xiao Yi doesn't believe it.

flipped through the book again, and found that Wu Yong had served Lin Guifei and the third prince before, even if he understood a little, he sent someone to Wu Yong's hometown to investigate the city, and he set up a banquet in the East Palace and invited Xiao Lian and Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian naturally disdained to get close to the prince, and the banquet excused himself because he was not in good health, Xiao Lian didn't know what medicine was sold in the prince's gourd, so he took people to the banquet.

"Third brother, how long has it been since you and my brother have been sitting together like this and drinking and talking?"

In the main hall of the East Palace, the song rises and dances, the candle flame is as bright as day, Xiao Yi looks at Xiao Jian on the side, he is still dressed in the prince's clothes, and the handsome air of the body makes people have no sense of oppression of the prince in front of him.

He looked at Xiao Lian with a smile, and asked sincerely, Xiao Lian was drinking, and when he heard this, he hurriedly put down the wine cup, and said with a little respect: "As the prince, the eldest brother is a prince, sharing worries for his father and the emperor, and his affairs are busy, so the imperial brother does not dare to disturb more." ”

"Yes, I've grown up and you've been far away from the night, and now I'm getting closer to no one close to me, and I'm looking for you today, also to catch up with the past, you don't have to beat me but I'm the prince and I'm separated."

"Yes." Xiao Lian's face froze, with a little smile, and the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, and he didn't know what emotions were revealed.
