At the door of the store, Orchid twisted her waist and waved her arms to attract customers.

Her eyes fell on the handsome noble man in the hall from time to time, and she didn't even see any guests taking the initiative to enter the store.

"I'm coming!"

Du Wulang bolted his horse, rushed into Wang's store in high spirits, and immediately saw Xue Bai and others.

He greeted happily, but when the Kyauknu turned around, he shrunk his neck again, sat down on the other side, and looked at the table, but he said strangely: "Hey, why is there no fish belly?" ”

"I just learned that the fish is raw." Xue Bai shook his head, "Don't eat it." ”

"How can you not eat it?" Du Wulang's eyes moved, raised his hand to the wall in the store, and said, "Look! ”

Several people, including Kyauknu, turned their heads to look, only to see that it was full of inscriptions by literati and ink writers.

"How delicious the fish is. You see that this wall is full of poems praising the fish, including Wang Wei's 'Maid Jinpan Carp', Wang Changling's 'Herring Fish Snow Falling Orange Chestnut', hey, and Li Bai's new poems. ”

"Li Bai is also in Chang'an?"

"Not there." Du Wulang looked at the poem note and said: "This is a book written by a wine guest named Cen Shen, it is Li Bai's new poem in Luzhong, praising the delicious fish belly, 'Hu'er flicked a few frost blades, and the red skin flowers fell on the white snow. For the king's full meal, drunk on the golden saddle and returned to the horse', tsk, the writing is really good, but this person, how can he write Taibai poems next to the Mahajie poems? ”

Xue Bai looked intently and saw that there was a handwriting on the wall that read, "Yu Shouxuan for three years, read all over the river, return to Chang'an in the west, and write a new poem by Li Taibai after being drunk, and enjoy it together."

Looking at the poem again, it was a little sloppy when it was written at the end, but it was arrogant.

Next to it is Cen Shen's own "Feeling the Old Fu".

"Ginseng, Xiangmenzi. He studied at the age of five, was a scholar at the age of nine, was hidden in Songyang at the age of fifteen, and dedicated his books to his majesty at the age of twenty......"

Everyone looked at it seriously, and Du Wulang stretched out his hand and handed half of the jade pendant to Xue Bai.

Xue Bai quietly put it in his sleeve.

~~

Du House.

Lu Fengniang cautiously pushed open the door, only to see Du Yan sitting in a daze in the position where Du Youlin often sits.

"Why didn't you see my aunt today?" Lu Fengniang first found a topic to say hello.

Du Yan said: "The day before yesterday, the eldest sister asked a slave tooth to inquire about the news, and I went over to ask today." ”

"I see, by the way, how did you annoy your grandpa?"

Du Yan asked, "What did Grandpa say?" ”

Lu Fengniang was worried, and hesitated to speak: "Lang Jun said...... There are women like this, and it is difficult to be ashamed. ”

Du Yan smiled bitterly.

Yes, a daughter like her, coercing her adulterous appearance, forcing her father to ask for benefits from the elders in the clan, and not remembering the old relationship between husband and wife, persecuting the East Palace, just listening to it is also very bad.

Lu Fengniang saw that Du Yan didn't speak, and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun also said that you are confused, he said, since people are showing favor, you want so many benefits, and then you will offend both ends." ”

"Offended at both ends?" Du Yan sneered and said, "I almost robbed my family and wiped out my family, why are you still afraid of this?" ”

Lu Fengniang sighed: "Erniang, you are too tough. ”

Du Yan pointed to a box on the case and said, "Take it, I'll ask for it from my uncle's father-in-law, and subsidize some households." ”

Lu Fengniang was stunned for a moment, stepped forward in small steps, opened the box and looked, but her nose was sore, and she was busy wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, and finally she couldn't cry.

"Your grandfather doesn't know how expensive rice is...... Whining...... It's like this......"

"I know." Du Yan turned her back and said, "Mother trusts me?" I'm for the good of the Du family. ”

"How can you not believe you? Speaking from the heart, your grandfather is a big fool and a good person...... He's confused! ”

Du Yan had no choice but to get up, and in turn patted Lu Fengniang's back to comfort her.

But in fact, in this situation, she herself is exhausted.

Xue Bai said very clearly, the East Palace is unreliable, and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is also unreliable, in this struggle, the weak will always be the existence that both sides may take out to sacrifice at any time.

It just so happens that they are the weaklings, who were not used in the last sacrifice, and will probably be used next time.

Therefore, it cannot be completely dependent on any one party.

"We want to be like a seed, surviving the collision of two boulders, surviving in the cracks, taking root and sprouting."

Du Yan repeated this sentence in her heart, and looked out the window, hoping that everything would go well on Xue Bai's side.

~~

Qingmen, Wang's shop.

As the time passed, by the afternoon, many of the diners had gone.

Xue Bai didn't dare to drink, and ate some roasted mutton, when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a blue official robe walk into the hall.

Kyauknu also saw it, and his gaze froze slightly.

"Do you recognize him?" Xue Bai asked.

Thinking that he had noticed his gaze, he asked, and responded, "Don't look at this person's small official, in fact, he often reports in front of Ah Lang." ”

"Who is he?"

The young slave frowned slightly, and said in his heart that Xue Bai really had to ask no matter what he saw, he was here to spy on him, and he was not really his slave.

"Huh?" Xue Bai continued to ask.

"I only know his surname is Pei." Kyauknu said: "It is an official who does things to make peace, and he is deeply valued by the king." ”

"It's such a coincidence, the few people I saw today are all related to Wang Jie."

"Because you have been asking, and Qingmen is close to the East Market and the city gate, there are many treasures and wines."

"There are many beauties, too." Xue Bai caught a glimpse of someone holding two Silla maids swaggering across the long street, and replied casually.

Kyaunu was slightly smug and took a sip of wine.

Xue Bai patted Du Wulang and said, "You will go back first, when you are free one day, we will make boiled fish to eat." ”

"Okay." Du Wulang is flying like a chopstick, and he is still eating meat.

Xue Bai got up and went to the toilet.

Kyauknu hesitated for a moment, but still sat and watched Du Wulang eat, and at the same time kicked the Tian family brothers.

"Still not going to protect? I should have promoted you to eat and drink. ”

“……”

Du Wulang saw the Tian family brothers walking away, so he also got up, looked at the mess on the table, and wanted to ask the slave "Is there a girl meeting today", but he didn't dare to speak, and walked out cautiously.

Out of Wang's store, he patted his round belly, and his heart was a lot more relaxed.

According to Erniang's words, today's things are done, and Du Zhai will be safe and stable in the future, as long as he and Xue Bai study hard, they will enter the imperial examination.

Grandpa resigned from the official, and the Du family will be on himself in the future.

Leading the horse for more than 20 steps, Du Wulang was happy, and suddenly felt that someone was staring at him, looked up, couldn't help but be stunned, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Gigigi...... Ji Dalang? ”

~~

Jixiang was forced by Wang Zhun to pour a stomach full of wine today, and he vomited so much that he vomited his heart and liver. is being supported by two Silla maids to blow the wind on the long street, and they are also hiding from Wang Zhun's evil youth.

As a result, when I turned my eyes, I saw a person, who was quite familiar.

Du ...... What is Du? It hurts! ”

Ji Xiang suddenly remembered who was in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "You are here to ask for someone?" ”

"Someone?" Du Wulang was stunned, "Who do you want?" You're still here?! ”

"Damn, beat him!"

Du Wulang was about to go to find Xue Bai immediately, but when he turned around, he saw a wicked man striding down from the carriage next to him, and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

Auspicious stepped forward and kicked over.

"Damn, your news is really fast, and you came to me for someone on your back foot."

~~

Jingzhao Province.

As soon as Gwen entered the familiar torture chamber, he felt that he was in control.

In his ears was Wu Kangcheng's terrible scream, but he was not in a hurry to ask, but looked at the map given by Xue Bai and pondered.

"Huh."

He suddenly frowned, remembered something, and ordered a small official to go to Jingzhao Mansion Hucao to get some scrolls, and then carefully checked, and found that in fact, some officials close to the East Palace had set up other houses in Daozheng and Changle Fang, but Xue Bai didn't mark it.

For example, Wang Zhonghe's soldiers and horses envoy Li Guangbi and Heyuan military envoy Wang are rare.

Ji Wen added these clues with his pen, and then looked at the sixteen households marked by Xue Bai, and selected four official mansions that were likely to be close to the East Palace.

Nodding with satisfaction, he was about to put down his pen when he glanced at it and suddenly thought about it.

"Yang Shenjin?"

It's not that he suspects Yang Shenjin, but Ji Wen has vaguely heard Wang Ji and the right minister complain and scold Yang Shenjin for his arrogant attitude.

It can be seen that Wang Ji doesn't like Yang Shenjin, and the right minister also hates this kind of self-proclaimed knowledgeable, elegant and noble person the most.

Ji Wen then wrote Yang Shenjin's name and drew a circle.

At this moment, he thought of Xue Bai again, and felt that Xue Bai, Yang Shenjin, and Wei Jian all gave people the same feeling, how to say it...... Even if he is attached to the right phase, he looks dignified and upright, and he will not nod his head.

This kind of person will have to die sooner or later.

These thoughts turned around in his heart, and Ji Wen already had an idea, which was nothing more than to check whoever the right minister liked the most.

He got up and walked towards Wu Kangcheng.

"Move, where is the dead man of the East Palace hiding?"

Wu Kangcheng had been tortured to the point that his skin was broken, but he shook his head.

"I ...... I'm the Jinwuwei Patrol Envoy...... Imperial court officials, you can't just take me ......"

"I can't take you?" Ji Wen seemed to be amused by him, poked the wound on his body with a red-hot iron tongs, and said: "You have an old relationship with Huangfu and Liu Tao, these two big cases have not yet been resolved, I want to take who and whom, remember?" ”

Wu Kangcheng just screamed.

At this moment, a prison officer came over and said, "Fa Cao, the right minister has sent someone." ”

Ji Wen frowned this time and said, "Let him wait." ”

"Gifaccio is so imposing."

Someone outside has already said that.

Ji Wen turned his head to look, but saw that it was the Kyauknu who had raised his right hand and brought Xue Bai in.

"This is Jingzhao Mansion."

In Jingzhao Mansion, Ji Wen was not at all as cowering as in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, turned his back on his hands, tilted his head, looked at Xue Bai proudly, and said, "You are a white body, how can you go straight to the Jingzhao Mansion Torture Room." ”

"Gave you face." Kyaunu snorted coldly.

Gynwin smiled and scolded the in his heart.

He was afraid of Kyauknu before, and he was afraid that this servant would say bad things about him next to the right minister, but after these things happened, he knew that she was definitely going to say bad things, so he was not so afraid.

And this servant has been following Xue Bai recently, and he may not believe what he says.

"I found out where the dead man in the East Palace is, and I want to confirm it." Xue Bai said: "Ji Facao, can you allow me to talk to Wu Kangcheng?" ”

Gwenn sneered.

This time, even Tian Shengong poked his head into the torture room and said, "Ji Facao, the right minister can be explained, and he has to do his best." ”

Ji Wen nodded, turned sideways, and said lightly, "Ask." ”

Xue Bai said: "Can I ask alone?" ”

"Huh? What else do you have to do that you can't see? ”

"This is my interrogation technique, which is different from Gifachow, and please cooperate."

Gwenn looked at the beam of the room, acting proudly, but in fact, his eyes rolled, and he waved his hand at the end, and ordered: "Take the prisoner to the back room and let him question him alone." ”

"Whoa."

With this arranged, Givin walked down the corridor, a slight smile on his face, and walked around the row of houses into a dark room.

He made a few motions silently, ordered the door to be closed, and sat down on a stool himself, pressing his ear to the wall.

After waiting for a while, I heard the movement next door, and even Wu Kangcheng's breathing was clear.

Because there are four large urns under this dark room, and the walls are also specially placed blue bricks, which has the miraculous effect of amplifying sound.

"I already know where the Longyou veteran is hiding."

Xue Bai's voice was very low when he spoke, but Ji Wen could hear it completely.

Wu Kangcheng didn't answer, and his breathing was heavier.

"You're useless with me." Xue Bai spoke slowly, and said, "I can directly ask the right minister to send someone to take them down." But for the sake of you and me, I want to save you, and I am willing to share your credit. ”

Wu Kangcheng still didn't answer.

Xue Bai said: "Okay...... It's in Changle Fang, Yang Shenjin's house, right? ”

Ji Wen's face moved, and he was greatly surprised in his heart, and then secretly said that he had guessed correctly!

"How do you know?!" Wu Kangcheng was also greatly surprised.

"You think we would never have guessed? But fortunately, there is no one at this time, I am still willing to share the credit with you, and when I go out, I will say that you took the initiative to recruit you. Xue Bai said: "Now I want to confirm some details with you." ”

Wu Kangcheng did not answer.

"How many are there?"

After a while, Xue Bai said again: "It's useless if you don't speak, Jin Wuwei has already kept an eye on that house." ”

"Jin Wuwei has our people." Wu Kangcheng finally opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "The veterans will leave tonight to destroy the armor and weapons, you can't find them." ”

"When will it act?"

"Sub-hour."

"What else?"

"Jin Wuwei's right patrol envoy, Changle Fang Fangzheng, and the East City Bureau, all have our people, and they will try to lure Guo Qianli away."

“……”

"I've got to tell the right minister."

When Ji Wen heard Xue Bai's words, he quickly got up.

He quickly went out of the dark room, looked for the official, and ordered: "Try to stop Xue Bai for me." They must not be allowed to leave."

"Whoa."

"Prepare the car, no, prepare the horse, I will go to see the right minister immediately."

Ji Wen hurried his steps and ran through the corridor of Jingzhao Mansion.

~~

Provincial Government Workshop.

Tuoba Mao walked up to the attic and asked, "Mr. Pei, what do you say?" ”

The middle-aged man in the green robe was looking at the sunset and said, "It's been arranged, evacuate tonight." ”

He said this twice today.

But only he knew in his heart that the meaning of the two times was different.

The first time he said that he wanted to evacuate, he did a good job of letting these Longyou veterans all be taken down, and confessed that Huangfu Weiming wanted to investigate the Renyong case, and shocked the hearts of the people in the world with the anger of the saint and the blood of the veterans. Although it can't change anything, it can make more people hope for the prince.

But at this time, it was the little Taoist priest who intervened and reached a condition with the other party to preserve his strength.

If nothing else, there will probably be no one dead tonight.

~~

Xue Bai was also watching the sunset.

He was trapped in the Jingzhao Mansion, his face was anxious, but his heart was extremely calm.

The way of power struggle, doing more may not be able to get more.

If you go all out to help the East Palace, you will be buried alive; But if you try your best to help the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, will it end well? The promise of the superior, just listen to it, the first time you don't know how to keep a hand, the second time you can't learn, then it's really hopeless.

Sometimes it's when you get it right that you get the most out of it.

Who wins and loses in the right phase and the East Palace, now is not the time for him to worry about it, as long as he can stand firm.

After tonight, you will be able to settle down in this Datang.

If nothing else, there will be no death.

"Boom!"

The twilight drum sounded.

Under the sunset, Xin Twelve rode his horse to the front of Jingzhao Mansion, and the horse didn't care about being tied and hurried up the steps.

"Aaron is here?! I have something to do! ”

Hurriedly shouted, he turned his head to look, and happened to glance at Xue Bai.

Xin Twelve was stunned and stopped vigilantly.

"You! What are you going to do?! ”

Facing Shang Xin Twelve's vigilant gaze, Xue Bai's face sank.
