The back house of the governor of Luozhou.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, only Yan Tian's father and daughter were left for the holiday, which seemed very deserted. If there weren't so many people here before, maybe it wouldn't be so lonely after everyone left. The father and daughter didn't show anything, just laughed for a while and then dispersed.

Yan Tian carried the glass lamp and led Xiaozhu slowly towards his small courtyard. The night is getting darker, and the cold is blowing. Yan Tian tightened the cloak on his body and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

She remembered that it was also such a cold winter night, and a young man said to her, "This world is unfair" and "how harsh it is for women".

Yan Tian lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, that person is also a strange person, at least not like a layman in this world......

After the New Year, it seems that there is really spring all of a sudden, and the originally dry and cold air seems to hide the humidity of Sinan.

Under the warm afternoon sun, Yan Tian sat on the swing wrapped in a thick cloak, recited a big qi law, and grabbed a handful of millet and threw it to the chickens in the courtyard. The people are busy, and the small courtyard on that side has become a peaceful world by itself.

It is recited, "Whoever rapes a married woman dies." If there is no husband, the rod is one hundred and seventeen ......", and suddenly the gate was slammed. A subordinate ran to open the door, but a man immediately broke in, and without anyone to report, he pushed away Uncle Sun who rushed to hear the sound, and drove straight to Yan Tian's small courtyard, leaving behind the sound of chasing.

Yan Tian stood up and looked at Qin Zhuen in surprise, for some reason it was only more than half a month, but he went and returned.

"Brother Qin?"

"Is there any hot tea?" Zhu En stared at Yan Tian, and suddenly felt a peace of mind that he had never felt before, "I have been on the road for five days, and now I am very thirsty. ”

“…… Yes, beads! Serve tea! ”

Before the words fell, another person suddenly broke in, but as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he sat on the ground with a bang. Sanshou was panting and shouted loudly: "It's not just tea!" And eating! Quick, give me an elbow! ”

Yan Tian: ......

Could it be that this pair of master and servant escaped from the capital?

……

The capital, the Imperial Palace.

The earth dragon in the imperial study burned extremely warm, and the smoke of ambergris rose.

Emperor Yongzhi was standing in front of the case at this time, splashing ink. The afternoon sun poured in through the open window, and spread over the pine-like upright figure, staining the handsome face like white jade, and making the high-standing nose coated with a beautiful golden halo, and even the slightly drooping eyelashes were glowing with a little golden glow.

Such a peaceful afternoon, such a warm sunshine, such a good-looking person...... But it is not harmonious. The man in the Zhilan Yushu invisibly gave people a sense of suffocating oppression, and his body seemed to have a blade hidden with ten thousand blades, and he saw blood sealing his throat.

In the middle of the ground kneeling was Zhou Qian, the right servant of the imperial history, sweating on his forehead, and he was returning his errand to the emperor.

"The minister has exchanged 3,000 Uighur captives for Huang Qifeng and Huang Xiao. On the day of the prisoner exchange, General Huang Xiao learned that His Majesty wanted to exchange 3,000 prisoners of war for him, and he was immediately so sad and angry that he almost wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide. It was the Uighur general Surrey who quickly lifted his jaw and did not cause any serious incident. Prior to this, General Huang Xiao must have tried to commit suicide many times without success, because ...... His arms were also dislocated that day. ”

Emperor Yongzhi frowned, put down his pen, and reached out to take the handkerchief handed by Liu Cheng and wiped his hands: "How is Huang Qifeng now?" ”

"Your Majesty is reassured. After careful treatment by the imperial doctor you sent, the person is completely fine. In the end, the Uighurs were concerned about our national strength, and they did not dare to hurt the muscles and bones of General Huang Xiao, but only lowered their joints.

However, at first, General Huang Xiao could not accept the exchange of 3,000 Uighur officers and soldiers for his own body, and he said that he was guilty of letting the tiger return to the mountain. If it weren't for the fact that the Qi and the Hurs had already made peace and that the Uighurs were becoming vassals, he would have almost wanted to take his sword and break into the Uighur camp again. ”

"Hahaha......" Emperor Yongzhi laughed and threw the handkerchief on the case, "This kid is still so angry!" You didn't tell him what I said? ”

The minister said. The minister said, Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message, saying that there are 3,000 prisoners of war, that is, the Uighurs want to exchange you for 30,000 prisoners, and the court will also exchange them. You alone will reach an army, Your Majesty only needs to live Qifeng, don't die heroes. If you don't want to go, you will be loyal in the future, guard the northwest border, and let them go without returning!

General Huang Xiao finally listened, and at that time he cried bitterly, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of the capital. Let the minister tell His Majesty that in his life, he is a great Qi man in life, and he is a great Qi soul in death, and the border is handed over to him, and there will be no half of the difference. ”

"Good!" Emperor Yongzhi sighed, "This kid is a good piece of steel, but he is still young in the end, and he likes to make a mistake of rushing forward." Now this scene can be regarded as grinding his temperament. Good steel also has to be tempered and quenched to be sharp. After this incident, his knife is completely opened! ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Qian again, and suddenly smiled: "Zhou Qian, you are the right imperial history, and you have the responsibility of correcting hundreds of officials and investigating and defending grievances." Tell me, what kind of person is this Huang Qifeng? But it is really as some people in the DPRK and China said, "He was not captured, but he defected to the enemy, and he should be punished as a traitor." Or...... As Huo Lao Yushi said, "It is a great shame to be captured but not committed suicide, even if it is not treason, it is doubtful whether he is still loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and should be escorted back to Beijing to prove his innocence." ”

Zhou Qian's sweat flowed even more, he lay on the ground and said tremblingly: "General Huang Xiao's heart is as strong as gold, loyal as pine, and noble as snow, he is not treasonous, and there is no need to escort him back to Beijing to prove his innocence!" ”

"Well said!" Emperor Yongzhi looked at Zhou Qian on the ground and nodded, "I believe in Huang Qifeng, not only because he is full of loyalty, but he is the only one left in the whole family who sacrificed their lives for the country. It's not a kind of like 'don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people'. I believe in him because I know him, know him to be loyal, upright, and determined.

"I know that the teacher-student relationship between you and Huo Yushi is extremely deep. I sent you to do this errand this time, just to let you go to the northwest border pass to see how difficult the environment there is! Look how loyal the officers and soldiers there are! I want to tell your teacher through your mouth, to tell the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that I have not misjudged people, and I will not misjudge them! Entering Beijing to prove his innocence? Of course you can, but that will chill the hearts of the border soldiers! ”

Zhou Qian immediately bowed down, sweating like rain.

……

Liu Cheng, the chief eunuch, sent the right man away and returned to the imperial study to resume his life. But I saw Emperor Yongzhi looking at the big character "Rather bend than bend" just written, in a daze.

"If you talk about good steel, I still have a few pieces here......" Emperor Yongzhi seemed to say to himself, Liu Cheng waited with a sigh.

"How is Fang Yuting's case going now?" Emperor Yongzhi asked Liu Cheng.

"I heard that Lord Jingzhao Yin Bao has been unwell these days, and the Fang family's case has not yet been ......."

"Not feeling well? Ha ha. Emperor Yongzhi sneered, "Bao Yingbai is indeed old, just as old as Huo Qingfeng. It is indeed inappropriate to force him to be loyal to the court at such an old age! I don't know who this "he" refers to.

Liu Cheng's heart sank, and he didn't dare to have the slightest fluctuation on his face.

"I heard that Arne is out of Beijing again?"

"Yes, I said I went to Luoju......

"Going to Los Angeles again?" Emperor Yongzhi groaned, "But someone is following?" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, there are appropriate people to serve you openly and secretly."

Emperor Yongzhi turned his head and glanced at Liu Cheng with a smile. Liu Cheng panicked, and hurriedly bent his waist down again.

"Not bad." He withdrew his gaze and gave a faint compliment.

Liu Cheng dared to exhale slowly, and the small clothes on his back were already wet at this time.

"This time I went to the house of the governor of Luozhou?"

"Yes. is the third son of Old Marquis Yan. ”

"That concubine? There are some talents. Didn't he handle the case of Qian Erlu last time? I heard that his daughter is also very meritorious and talented in this case, didn't she try another strange case of 'borrowing corpses to return souls' two days ago......"

Emperor Yongzhi dropped the word, stretched out his hand and knocked on the big case, "Sipin Jing Zhaoyin...... From the prefect of the fourth grade......" Then he groaned as he walked out of the temple gate.

Liu Cheng hurriedly picked up his cloak and chased after him, and ordered a group of little eunuchs to hurry up and serve.

……

"How can the nephew go and come back? But what's the urgency in Beijing? Yan Wenkuan received a report from his subordinates in the yamen, and thought that something big had happened, so he hurried home.

Who knew that as soon as I entered the door, I saw the two of Qin's lord and servant sitting in the flower hall, "snorting, huh", and working hard for two bowls of noodles. There was a big face buried in each of the two sea bowls bigger than the face, and a pig's knuckle was placed in front of each person.

Not good! It seems that something really happened to Kyori. The Princess's Mansion is bankrupt!

After Qin Zhuen finished cooking two bowls of noodles and one elbow, Yan Wenkuan finally retired from the idler, and asked the general hesitantly.

Who knows, Lord Qin's face turned red suddenly. He first turned his head to look at Yan Tian, who was about to avoid it, but was left by his words, reached out and scratched his head, and laughed dryly three times.

Yan's father and daughter looked at each other. It feels like this thing is a bit abnormal today. didn't want to wait for Qin Zhuen to speak, and suddenly the father and daughter were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

He hugged his fists at Yan Wenkuan and said, "Third Uncle Yan, I came here to ask you to marry today, and I asked to marry Yan Tian." ”

Qin Zhuen didn't call him the eldest sister, which shows that he doesn't want to have any more relationship with Yan Tian as a brother and sister. Looking at the father and daughter who were staring at him as if they had been immobilized, Qin Zhuen felt that his heart was about to take off, and his face couldn't help but turn a little redder.

He sank his breath, and continued in his heart: "Third Uncle Yan and ...... And, Tian Tian ......" This "Tian Tian" is extremely weak, and even has a little shyness, "Don't worry." I am not arrogant and absurd. I made a deliberate decision on this matter. You don't have to worry about my mother, the emperor, and the queen mother.

"Earlier I said that everything should be according to my heart. If I'm not satisfied, I won't marry the Jade Emperor's daughter. If I am optimistic, I will also marry the daughter of a civilian family. Heng Zhu is my daughter-in-law, how can it fit my mind.

"As for the dowry...... When I came, I walked in a hurry, and I traveled quickly for five days, except for sleeping and eating, and I was in a hurry along the way, but I didn't find time to do it. But don't worry, I've brought everything I can with all the private houses I've saved over the years. ”

Saying that, Qin Zhuen untied the burden on his body and put it in front of Yan's father and daughter, and said while opening it:

"The big things, as well as the gold, silver, pearls and jade, were all thrown at home and were not worth anything, except for some land deeds and silver tickets. There are the Empress Dowager's usual rewards, the private houses given by my mother, and the ones I earn by my own management...... Now it's all up to ...... Ahem, Tian Tian. ”

The father and daughter looked over, but when they saw the deed and silver tickets like Xiaoshan, they only roughly estimated that the silver tickets alone were about one million taels, and those land deeds and house deeds were countless. The two looked at each other again, and both saw shock in each other's eyes. It seems that this Qin Gongzi is not only rich, he is also sick!

"You, you spend whatever you want, you can buy whatever you want." This is what Du Chong Yan Tian said, "It should be your dowry." When I return to Beijing, I will go to buy a dowry, and the Queen Mother will naturally have another reward, and I will definitely be beautiful and beautiful, and I will not wronged you. If you don't want to leave Luozhou, it doesn't matter, ...... in the future Ahem......"

Qin Zhuen's face turned red and red again and again today, like the butt of a firefly, flashing and shining......

"After all, you are a girl." This turned to Yan Wenkuan again, "I will move to Luozhou when the time comes......"

Yan Wenkuan felt that he had to say something to stop it, otherwise Qin Zhuen might keep talking about the question of where to choose the feng shui treasure land after his old man's death.

But before he could speak, he overheard his daughter speak: "Yan Tian is jealous, and the person he has sworn to marry must be loyal and will not take a concubine for life, otherwise he will not marry in this life." Qin Gongzi must have many confidants, but Yan Tian is really not a good match. Qin Gongzi, please go back, since then the mountains are high and the road is far away, don't waste any more effort to see each other. ”

In just a few words, the matter was settled......
