"Master Hou, it's a dead man."

Zhang San came back quickly, and brought out three corpses at the same time, one was a dead man without a tongue, and the other two were like the owners of the house.

Chen Kan's face was very ugly.

What exactly is the purpose of these people?

Are they really members of the White Lotus Sect?

If it's someone from the White Lotus Sect, why don't you just kill him?

Instead of playing this childish trick?

From his several contacts with the White Lotus Sect, the people of the White Lotus Sect either don't make a move, or as soon as they make a move, they will kill them.

And this time, whether it was last night's bank attack or this assassination against him, it was more like covering up something.

"Master Hou, what to do with the corpse?"

Zhang San kicked the corpse in a night suit, and secretly felt bad luck in his heart.

Because by the time he arrived at the house, the man had already taken poison and died.

Chen Kan came back to his senses, looked at the three corpses on the ground, and couldn't help but feel irritated in his heart.

The dead man was bleeding, obviously suicide, and the other two bodies were a young man and woman, dressed like a couple, and the fatal wounds were in the heart, which seemed to be killed by one blow.

"Transfer it to the government."

Chen Kan took a long breath and put these things behind him for the time being.

There was a touch of fish belly white on the horizon, and Chen Kan integrated into the big team of the last dynasty.

At this moment, many young people poured out of the street at some point, and there were many students in the crowd dressed in the robes of the national prison guards.

"Zhang San, is the Guozi Prison resting today?"

Chen Kan couldn't help frowning when he looked at these inexplicably extra people on the street.

In the past, on the streets of Jingshi at this time, except for the officials of the previous dynasty, there was basically no one else to be seen.

There are a lot of people today, and they are all young people, including many sons and brothers who are freshly dressed and angry horses and swagger through the city with their thugs.

Zhang San followed Chen Kan's line of sight and responded: "Back to the Hou Ye, today is indeed the Guozijian Xiumu, but these people should all go to Qinhuai River to participate in the Oiran Conference." ”

"Oiran convention?"

Chen Kan has also participated in the Oiran Conference in previous years, but he has never seen such a grand occasion.

"Yes, it is said that there is a nine-day fairy on the Qinhuai River recently, and no matter how powerful people want to see her, she is the one who initiated this Oiran Conference."

After listening to Zhang San's explanation, Chen Kan couldn't help but think of the woman he met outside the city a few days ago.

Although it was only a quick glance, if he really wanted to be called the Nine Heavens Fairy, Chen Kan felt that he deserved it.

Could it be that the new fairy from Qinhuai River is her?

These days, Chen Kan has been busy with the treasure money division and the new fire gun, or he will stay at home and be a salted fish.

He really hasn't paid much attention to the recent news of Jingshi.

The officials of the previous dynasty and the son of the prince who rushed to the Qinhuai River, the son of the country, formed two streams of people in Beijing.

The two streams of people are moving in opposite directions, and there is a clear distinction between non-aggression and mutual incursion.

Chen Kan didn't plan to continue to pay attention to this matter, but suddenly found a familiar figure in the crowd.

Looking at each other, the figure also saw Chen Kan on the horse.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Chen."

Chen Kan stopped his horse, and the figure also broke away from the large army of Guozijian and squeezed in the direction where Chen Kan was.

This person is the only classmate Chen Kan who had a good relationship with when he was in Guozijian, Li Tong, a talented talent from Yunnan.

"Brother Li, who are you?"

"Brother Chen, oh no, it should be called Hou Ye now."

Li Tong said this, but there was not a trace of the restraint on his face that should be revealed when he met Hou Ye.

On the contrary, there is a kind of warmth that meets good friends who have not seen each other for many years.

Chen Kan already knew Li Tong's temperament, and immediately asked, "Brother Li, are you also going to Qinhuai River to participate in the Oiran Conference?" ”

"Where, a little person like me just goes to see it, and it's the ones who really run for the Oiran."

Li Tong pointed to the swaggering boys, and his face unconsciously showed a look of envy.

"Brother Chen, are you going to the court?"

"Something happened in Jingshi last night, and I didn't go to accept His Majesty's accountability."

Chen Kan sighed, but didn't mean to say more.

Li Tong didn't ask, and arched his hand towards Chen Kan and said: "Since Brother Chen is going to the court, let's go quickly, and the younger brother will also go to see if that fairy is really a fairy as rumored." ”

"Brother Li is going by himself."

In a hurry, the two bowed goodbye.

Seeing Li Tong join the Oiran election army, Chen Kan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Very depressed.

The Oiran Conference was such a fun thing, but he was a young and ambitious young man, but he couldn't participate because he thought he was going to see Zhu Di, the old man.

It's a pity.

At Chen Kan's age, which one is not a place where people linger with fireworks and willow lanes all year round?

But he was born to work hard.

Who to talk to?

At this time—

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ji Gang, began to deploy the affairs of the palace early in the morning.

Of course, it is said that it is to defend the palace, but in fact, it is just standing at the gate of Hongwu Gate and directing the younger brother under his command to be busy.

As Zhu Di's closest confidant, it is naturally impossible for him to do these tedious little things by himself.

And the real purpose of his standing at the gate of Hongwu Gate is only one.

Wait for others!

A sedan chair fell outside the palace gate, and Chen Ying, who had a pair of triangular eyes shaped like a lone wolf, lifted the heavy curtain and stepped off the sedan chair.

He is the person of Ji Gang and so on.

"Master Ji."

"Lord Chen."

After the two bowed their hands, they walked to the corner and waited for the palace door to open.

These days, the relationship between Ji Gang and Chen Ying can be described as honey blending oil.

One of the two is embarrassed, specializing in coming up with ideas to harm people, and the other is a wolf, specifically responsible for knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow of those who are embarrassed.

It can be called a model of embarrassment.

As for the other ministers, as soon as they saw Chen Ying and Ji Gang getting together, they subconsciously stayed away from them.

A vacuum was formed next to Chen Ying and Ji Gang.

But it was just right for them to plot.

"Lord Chen, have you heard about what happened last night?"

"Master Ji is talking about the Nancheng rush?"

"Yes, but there are some discrepancies between what you heard, Lord Chen, as far as this official knows, those people are actually heading for the bank......"

"So ......"

The appearance of the two conspiring made many ministers can't help but get goosebumps.

I don't know which colleague will suffer this time?

When Chen Kan rode a horse to Hongwu Gate, Chen Ying and Ji Gang stopped talking very tacitly.

There were too many officials who came to the court, and Chen Kan didn't notice Ji Gang and Chen Ying hiding in the corner.

"Little bastard."

As soon as he heard this title, Chen Kan knew that it was his beloved teacher, Master Fang Xiaoru, who had arrived.

He turned around with a flattering smile on his face: "Teacher." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Kan turned around, he saw Fang Xiaoru carrying his hands behind his back and slowly walking towards him.

Now, among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, only Fang Xiaoru is still walking to the court every day.

There was no retinue, no carriage or sedan chair.

As soon as Fang Xiaoru appeared, he became the focus of attention among the officials.

Without him, in this era when the prime minister is not out, Fang Xiaoru, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, has the greatest power.

Fang Xiaoru walked past all the officials who greeted him, and saw that most of the officials' eyes were focused on him.

Only then did he clear his throat, looked at Chen Kan and asked loudly: "The old man heard that yesterday you led the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to fight with a group of thieves in Nancheng, and successfully protected the bank under the attack of the thieves, so that the country would not suffer huge losses?" ”

Chen Kan was stunned when he heard this, and then shouted in his heart: "Good guy, really good guy!" ”

He found out that Fang Xiaoru was the only one in the Manchu Dynasty who really understood the official.

What is called the reverse of Tiangang, this is it.

In one sentence, the nature of the matter was changed to a direction that was greatly beneficial to Chen Kan.

How could Chen Kan not know that Fang Xiaoru was supporting him, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, it's a shame for the teacher, the soldiers and horses of the five cities under the command of the student paid twenty-one lives to defeat the thieves, but unfortunately they only killed more than a hundred thieves, and they were not all wiped out, and the students were ashamed." ”

The voices of the two resounded in front of the Hongwu Gate, and the officials who came to the court all looked at the master and apprentice who sang the double reed with a complicated expression, and their hearts were so tired that they couldn't do it.

Last night's big incident couldn't be hidden from these officials who were all over the capital.

What is the truth of the facts, no one knows better than them.

But... Teachers blatantly favor their own students, and they are not qualified to blame.

What's more, if this matter is really investigated, Chen Kan will suffer a completely unwarranted disaster.

Everyone knows that he did not manage the Five Cities Terracotta Division at all during this time, but put all his energy into the Treasure Money Division.

Only Chen Ying and Ji Gang in the corner looked inexplicably at Chen Kan and Fang Xiaoru, who were surrounded by hundreds of officials.

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "There is a way to protect filial piety, this time I want to participate in Chen Kan, I am afraid that it is a fantasy, besides, Your Majesty will definitely favor him..."

"It doesn't matter, if you don't accumulate steps, you can't go a thousand miles, and once one day he makes some unforgivable mistakes, these little things..."

Both of them knew very well that behind Chen Kan stood Zhu Di and Fang Xiaoru.

Some small mistakes and small crimes are impossible to bring down Chen Kan.

But as Ji Gang said, when all the small mistakes accumulate, they become big mistakes.

They are all very patient.

Chen Kan felt something, and subconsciously looked in a certain direction.

The six eyes met, and Chen Kan's face was very calm.

Ji Gang and Chen Ying ended talking, and they looked at Chen Kan quietly.

After a while, Chen Kan grinned, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Ji Gang retracted his gaze, and seemed to have no sense of provocation from Chen Kan at all.

And Chen Ying's face remained unchanged, but she looked at Chen Kan as if she was looking at a dead person.

"Pap~Pap~Pap~"

The whip sounded, and the officials were silent.

After three strokes of the whip, the huge palace gate slowly opened under the impetus of Miyagi Lux.

Chen Kan arched his hand towards Fang Xiaoru and said, "There is Teacher Lao." ”

Fang Xiaoru nodded: "It's okay, there is a promising teacher, a little small, and you can't go on the stage." ”

This is the confidence of the head of the hundred officials, Chen Ying and the like of Ji Gang, but they are just small.

Chen Kan felt a little calmer, and trotted towards Xungui on the right.

The Ming Dynasty paid attention to the left and the right, that is, when the dynasty was up, the civil officials took the royal road on the left, and the military generals took the imperial road on the right.

Chen Kan's current position is the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, which is theoretically the same as the four products and belongs to the military position.

At the same time, Chen Kan was made a marquis because of the merit of the society, and belonged to the noble system, so he naturally had to take the right royal road.

Passing past a group of uncles, Chen Kan came to the end of the marquis's procession and stood still.

Coincidentally, standing behind Chen Kan was the loyal Bo Ruyu.

It stands to reason that Ru Yu, as the secretary of the military department, belongs to one of the six largest bosses in the civil official system, and should take the left royal road, how can he get mixed into the noble system?

At the moment when Chen Kan was puzzled, Ru Yu saw Chen Kan cut in line, a smile appeared on his chubby face, and he took a step backwards to make way for Chen Kan.

Then he smiled: "Chen Xiaoyou, it's been a long time." ”

Chen Kan leaned half of his body sideways, and looked at Ru Yu with a pair of puzzled eyes: "Lord Ru, why did you come here if you didn't go over there?" ”

Hearing this, Ru Yu's fat face twitched, and then suddenly showed a sad and angry expression.

Ah Du, full of resentment, looked at Chen Kan: "It's not all because of Chen Xiaoyou." ”

"Because of me?"

The second monk Chen Kanzhang was puzzled, and squinted at him: "Lord Ru, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense." ”

Chen Kan didn't think he had that much ability to squeeze Ru Yu out of the ranks of civil officials.

Ru Yu's military department is not a good thing, this guy really has real power in his hands.

Seeing that Chen Kan's eyes were full of threats, Ru Yu's old face turned into a bun: "It's not because of you." ”

"Your Majesty sent 5,000 elite cavalry from the three major battalions, led by His Royal Highness the King of Han, and went north to the grassland to support the Warat Department."

"Huh?"

Chen Kan's eyes widened: "Your Majesty has sent troops to the grassland, when did it happen?" ”

The corners of Ru Yu's mouth twitched: "It's not that you want to send troops, it's just that His Royal Highness the King of Han will take five thousand light horsemen to the grassland, just a few days ago." ”

"it!"

Chen Kan couldn't help but incarnate as a C language master.

For such a big thing, Zhu Di didn't even talk to him?

Is there no love for yourself?

Or has it fallen out of favor?

Chen Kan was stunned, during the time he was not in Jingshi, did so many things happen in Jingshi?

Seeing Chen Kan's sluggish face, Ru Yu complained: "Master Hou, you say, is this your fault?" ”

Chen Kan's heart jumped, and he really wanted to reply to Ru Yu about my.

But thinking about the confrontation between Zhu Di and Baiguan at the beginning, he still wisely closed his mouth.

Although the hundred officials may not be able to make Zhu Di compromise, he has decided the pot of Zhu Di's troops, who told him to break in when the hundred officials forced Zhu Di?

And Ru Yu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Di recruited troops to the north, so he naturally could not escape the blame.

Therefore, he was excluded from the civil service, which is simply reasonable and deserved.

Putting Ru Yu aside, Chen Kan's mood suddenly became a little melancholy.

Because he found that everything in Daming was developing in a direction he didn't know.

The direction of history that he is familiar with is unconsciously undergoing unknown changes.
