Chapter 304: Cleansing Yourself

At the time, people said that the Lady of Qiuguo's Mansion was vast and luxurious, but in fact, it was only one-third of the Right Minister's Mansion and a quarter of the Xianyi Princess's Mansion.

At least the polo field in Fuchu is not very large, and the house behind the polo field for changing clothes is even more cramped...... After Xue Bai and Yang Yuyao finished playing polo, they crowded into the house to change their clothes, and sweated again.

"Don't catch a cold, put it on."

"Now I know that it hurts people, sigh."

Yang Yuyao hurt him more than Xue Bai hurt her, and after a sentence of disgust, she said: "This polo field is still small, do you know that we are also a whole compound to the east?" ”

"Vacant? I haven't seen anyone in or out there. ”

"I inquired, Li Qiwu's, it is said that it is a clan, he has served as the assassin of Huaizhou and the Taishou of Shaanxi County, and now he has been demoted, and the mansion in Chang'an is not lived, so it is better for me to buy it and give it to you."

"What to give it to me?"

"For you to be a foreign house, you are about to get married, there is a foreign house, we have a good relationship."

Xue Bai only felt amused and said, "Our house is only one street apart. ”

"I'm too far across the street, so I'm going to buy a closer one to connect with you." Yang Yuyao smiled, "I also have a big polo field." ”

Xue Bai thought for a while and said, "Li Qiwu was suppressed by Li Linfu because he was friendly with Li Shizhi, right?" ”

"I don't care about that."

"Don't provoke him, he may have to make a comeback."

Although Xue Bai's official is small, he knows the general trend of the world well, and his tone is firm, which is especially easy to convince Yang Yuyao.

"No matter how beautiful the Yang family is, it is no longer appropriate to offend the Li clan."

"When it comes to scenery, it means that outsiders have to be favored when they look at it." Yang Yuyao said in a low voice: "You are going to get married, Yuhuan wants to give your righteous brother a generous gift, but I haven't found a chance to mention it to the saint yet." ”

"I have received the concubine's wishes, so there is no need for a gift." Xue Bai leaned down and hung up the earrings for her.

"It's been a long time since you've seen a saint, have you?"

"Hmm."

Xue Bai and Yang Yuyao have both realized that in fact, Xue Bai's power, or influence on the court, is weakening, because he has become farther and farther away from the identity of a courtier.

In the past, he wanted to protect Wang Zhonghe, as long as he coaxed the saint to be happy, he could achieve his goal, which was the energy of "Xue playing cards", and Xue Yushi could do much less.

It's definitely harder to actually do things.

"Yuhuan said, it's different if you become a relative, she should help you, and find a way to let you face the saint recently." Yang Yuyao said: "When the time comes, you will make a compensatory to the saint, don't annoy him anymore." ”

"Isn't it a loss? I have only done my duty as a courtier. Xue Bai responded casually, thinking that this sentence "It's different if you become a parent" should be Yang Yuhuan's original words, perhaps referring to the fact that her relationship with him is innocent in Li Longji's eyes, but in fact, she is innocent.

"It's just to let you not be too responsible, in this world, it's always people like you who suffer."

"It's okay, it's a blessing to suffer."

"I'm used to talking. Also, I heard that you have recently gotten close to the little lady in the right prime minister's mansion. Yang Yuyao glared, pointed her finger at Xue Bai's forehead, and said: "Converge, they are all people who are going to get married, and they should know how to clean themselves." ”

~~

Xue Bai "cleaned himself" in Yang Yuyao's house and then came out, and when he returned home, he got a letter of worship, but Wang Wei invited him to taste tea in the teahouse tomorrow.

He pondered for a moment, guessing that this should be a method that Li Tengkong came up with to hide people's eyes.

The next day, when I arrived at the teahouse in Fuxingfang, I saw that Princess Yuzhen's car was outside the teahouse.

He still went to see Wang Wei first.

Wang Wei has good official luck now, he has been promoted to Wupinlang in the first two years, but he didn't wear the red official robe today, he is still wearing a plain and elegant robe, and he is elegantly boiling tea, casually chatting about landscapes and meditation.

Xue Bai said a few perfunctory words and said, "Mr. Maha has been in the treasury department for several years, so it should be promoted, right?" ”

"Don't force it." Wang Wei said lightly: "You and Brother Changling have a New Year's friendship, just call me brother." ”

"Okay." Xue Bai and Li Bai are also peers anyway, and said: "If Brother Maha can find a person who is in the middle of the five grades in the next step, or a scholar in the middle school, he can participate in the cardinal's request." ”

Wang Wei stopped his movements, glanced at Xue Bai, and shook his head helplessly.

Xue Bai said: "Brother Maha doesn't have the ambition to help the people in the world? ”

Wang Wei was also frank and said: "If it really doesn't, why should I enter the imperial examination, why should I give up the mountains and rivers of the Rim River to Chang'an to get tacky?" ”

"My teacher wants to find a job."

"Yan Qingchen is just an outsider now, right?"

"Yes, the teacher wants to take two steps forward, and he needs a Lang Zhongque in the middle." Xue Bai said: "How about asking Brother Maha to take a step forward and give up the position of this Kubu Langzhong?" ”

"The middle scholar?"

"Simple." Xue Bai said: "How about Brother Maha and the concubine Zhang Yan?" He is now the celebrity of the Imperial Palace. ”

Zhongshu Sheren and Zhizhong are only officials of the five grades, but they are known as "Chu Xiang", one is responsible for drafting the edict, and the other is responsible for reviewing and refuting the edict.

If Xue Bai pushed Wang Wei and Yan Zhenqing to these two positions, it would be equivalent to being able to know all the edicts of the entire court through them...... Its power is understandable.

Such a proposal is that the poet and Buddha are also moved.

After talking for a while, a female crown came over, saying that Princess Yuzhen was also in this teahouse, and she happened to meet two great poets today, and wanted to invite them to move and meet.

The two were led into the backyard by this female crown, and then saw another female crown coming over, and said, "Xue Lang, please here." ”

Xue Bai was not surprised, and when he walked into a side hall, he saw Li Jilan smiling and greeting him.

At this time, it is the time when the peach blossoms are blooming, and she smiles, and the peach blossoms on her face are really red.

As soon as the spring breeze blew, wrapped in a burst of fragrance, Xue Bai was in a trance for a moment, quickly sobered up, touched the bottom of his nose, and reminded himself that this little lady looked like this, not that she was affectionate to her eyes.

"Ahem, why is Ji Lanzi here."

"Lower yourself, I'll tell you."

Li Jilan pulled Xue Bai's sleeve and asked him to come over with his ear, before he said: "Tengkongzi wants to talk to you on behalf of the right minister, and he doesn't want outsiders to notice, so he has used some tricks, even if someone knows that we are here today, it will only be when you are here to see me." ”

"See you?" Xue Bai felt that it was not appropriate to see Li Jilan and spread it.

"Hmm." Li Jilan said seriously: "We have all thought about it, if someone finds out, we will say that we are going to write another drama, which is the "Liang Zhu" you said last time." ”

"Really? You've all thought it through. ”

"But Xue Lang, you still have to talk to me in detail, I'm good at writing." Li Jilan hadn't seen Xue Bai for a while, and she had a lot to say, and then said: "By the way, you are really amazing, so that a quiet and inactive person like Tengkongzi can also concentrate on officialdom." ”

"That's vacating the sky, having a heart to help the people through the world."

“……”

Kyauuknu pushed open a crack in the window, looked over, and saw that Li Jilan hadn't brought Xue Bai over, and was talking with a smile in the courtyard.

She couldn't help but wonder, in the winter of Tianbao's fifth year, she was the first woman to accompany Xue Bai all night, but from then to now, she didn't see what was so good about him, worthy of so many little ladies to fight around him.

It's just a scheming villain.

Thinking like this, she was worried that the simple Seventeen Niang would negotiate with such a villain, in case she was also harmed, just like Ji Wen and Yang Shenjin.

"Here we are."

After waiting for a while, Xue Bai finally pushed the door in.

Li Tengkong was sitting there, looking at a small scroll in his hand, on which was the main point of her conversation today.

Hearing the movement, she quickly tucked it into her sleeve and put on a determined expression.

"When you and I meet, it is not appropriate to attract attention, so I will make this decision." Li Tengkong said: "Don't mind, right? ”

"Very smart."

"Are you deliberately complimenting me to make you look more powerful?"

Xue Bai smiled: "Don't be so nervous, although it is to talk about things, it does not affect that we are friends." ”

Li Tengkong motioned for Kyaunu and Mian'er to go out, and asked, "Are you the one who easily hugs your friends?" ”

"Hmm."

Xue Bai rarely saw her showing an aggressive appearance, and took a closer look at her, but saw that her sharp energy had been retracted, like a white kitten raising its paws and meowing.

"My grandfather has agreed to your conditions, and he plans to transfer An Lushan back to Chang'an."

"That went well?"

"You don't have to look disbelieving." Li Tengkong said: "I will try my best to do this." ”

She picked up the two letters on the desk and handed them to Xue Bai.

One of them was written by Li Linfu, saying that Chen Xilie had no suggestions since he was appointed as a servant, and he intended to recommend An Lushan to take over, so as to make all his achievements in "going out and entering the phase".

Xue Bai was more interested in An Lushan's reply, and when he opened it, he saw An Lushan's humble wording, and expressed his gratitude to Li Linfu, saying that he would definitely pacify the Khitan and Xi, so as to live up to the favor of the right minister, and said that he was willing to obey the arrangement of the imperial court and accept it no matter what official position.

"Do you believe in An Lushan's rhetoric?"

"I don't believe it." Li Tengkong said: "But this matter shows that he agreed to your conditions." ”

"This kind of verbal promise is not counted." Xue Bai said: "Unless he is officially in the book." ”

Li Tengkong took his eyes off his face, his fingers gently pinched her small scroll in his sleeve, thought for a while, and said, "My grandfather wants to know, once he is in the book, will you take action to protect his phase?" ”

"I need to see more, his determination to turn the other cheek with An Lushan."

"There's one more question." Li Tengkong hesitated for a moment and said, "You won't be ...... Taking advantage of the fact that my grandfather and Zhang Yan are competing for the position, they deliberately delay and support other forces, right? ”

Xue Bai was surprised when he heard this, and looked at her again.

She was still too young, with delicate skin on her cheeks and clean eyes, for she had never been contaminated by the world. Therefore, from the time she said to talk about the right minister's house, he has always looked down on her a little, and he doesn't think that a little woman can affect anything.

It was only at this point that his mind was first exposed. After all, even Zhang Yan, Chen Xilie, Yang Guozhong and others didn't realize his true purpose.

During the turmoil in the court, he was actually secretly running his own small forces, thinking about pushing Yan Zhenqing and Wang Wei into the center, and attracting outstanding juniors such as Yuan Zai and Yan Wu.

"Your grandfather asked you to ask?" Xue Bai said quietly.

"I'm just strange, with your temperament, you won't believe my grandfather, nor should you trust Zhang Yan, let alone Yang Guozhong." Li Tengkong said: "You dare to speak out, and you have offended the saint." ”

"Can your grandfather support King Qing?"

Xue Bai thought that Li Tengkong was talking about "other forces", so he used Li Cong to cover up his true purpose.

"King Qing?"

Li Tengkong hooked his fingers and motioned for him to lean over, her fingers were slender, and there was a red crisp feeling in the whiteness.

Xue Bai leaned over.

"What my grandfather wants to support is the twenty-first son of the emperor, Li Qi, the king of Sheng." Li Tengkong whispered: "The saint posthumously presented Concubine Wu Hui as the queen, and King Nasheng is actually the saint's son-in-law." In addition, Princess Sheng is the daughter of Wu Jingyi. ”

Xue Bai knew Li Linfu's romantic past, presumably this Wu Jingyi and Wu Fengniang were probably brothers and sisters.

"Whether it's King Sheng or King Qing, your grandfather doesn't really care, after all, over the years, I have only heard him say that he wants to be easy to store, but he has never said who he wants to be easy to become."

"If you want my grandfather to support King Qing, this is another big condition."

"If he is willing to meet King Qing, I will protect him."

Li Tengkong asked, "How do you meet?" ”

"On the day of my marriage, King Qing will come." Xue Bai said: "Greetings to the right minister." ”

Li Tengkong listened, lowered his head and took a sip of the teacup on the table.

She was still pretending to be calm, and said lightly: "Then I will replace the wine with tea, and I wish you a good wedding first......"

~~

Two days later, Wei Yun took the guest list handed by Xue Bai and glanced at it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is this the Minister of the Manchu Dynasty coming?"

"Yes."

"Can you fit in your house?"

"Several neighbors in Xuanyangfang said they could help set up a banquet." Xue Bai said: "There are Enguo Princess's Mansion, Xincheng Princess's Mansion, Yuguo's Lady's Mansion, Yang Guozhong's Mansion, and Gao Xianzhi's Mansion. ”

Wei Yun became worried instead, and asked, "Is it too public?" ”

In order to calm her heart, Xue Bai did not mention his current reputation in the court, and said: "After all, students have some poetry names, and it is difficult to resist them. ”

"Okay."

Wei Yun put down the list, hesitated, and asked, "By the way, I've heard some rumors recently......

Xue Baiden was nervous, and thought of Yang Yuyao reminding him that the wedding date was approaching, so he must clean himself. But he and Li Tengkong met secretly, and they were innocent of each other, so there must have been rumors between him and Yang Yuyao.

was thinking about how to explain, and then he heard Wei Yun's words.

"Your teacher...... He has been coming home recently with a strange fragrance on his body, obviously dealing with women, but he told me that it was official business, and he refused to say anything specific, do you know? ”

"This ......"

Xue Bai knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Yan Zhenqing must be in contact with someone in power in the Subi Kingdom, although Ge Shuhan and Zhang Yan don't mind talking to him about this matter, but in fact, only a few people know about it, and it is extremely secretive.

"Teachers do have official duties."

"Why do you have to deal with women every day?"

"The teacher only needs to trust the teacher, and the students don't know the specific details of this matter."

“……”

On the courtyard side of Yan's house, Yan Yan was dressed in men's clothes, pretending to pass by with Yan Yan, but in fact, she was seeing Xue Bai at a time when it was not suitable to meet before getting married.

"Look at him, dumbfounded." Yan Yan watched Xue Bai come out from a distance, and couldn't help muttering.

Yan Hao scratched his head and said strangely: "Brother Duoyushu is in the wind, it's the first time I've heard someone say that he is stupid." ”

"Because you're more stupid than he is."

The two sisters and brothers were arguing, and when they saw that Xue Bai didn't know what he was thinking, he sang two sentences in a small voice.

Yan Hao knew a lot about the rhythm of music, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother sings in such a strange tone, no wonder it is rumored that you are 'Xue Bai'......"

Before the words were finished, Yan Yan had already grabbed Yan Yan and said, "Everyone says that Brother has a unique voice." ”

"But that's the tune."

"Shut up."

Yan Yan stopped her younger brother, but she was also interested in Xue Bai's lyrics, and said: "Although the words that my brother just sang are plain, they are catchy, why don't you write them down and practice your words." ”

"It's vernacular, not poetry."

Xue Bai was actually still thinking about Yan Zhenqing's contact with the Subi envoy, but he didn't notice that he casually sang two sentences because of some associations.

Yan Yan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Sister, did you hear what Brother sang clearly?" ”

"What do you say about royal power and wealth, what precepts and rules are you afraid of."

Yan Yan then sang a cappella sentence.

She is not as good at singing as Niannu, but her voice is good, and the voice seems to be able to penetrate into his heart from Xue Bai's ears, and gently scratch his heart with feathers, but it is also a little naughty.

At this time, the servant women of the Yan Mansion rushed over again and hurriedly led Xue Bai out, preventing them from seeing each other before they got married, so as not to spread the word and ruin the reputation of the Yan family.

Yan Yan said goodbye to Xue Bai, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, obviously laughing at him for singing with a big white voice.

But when she returned to the boudoir, she sang what she heard today, but she could continue to sing after those two lines.

There were a few words she had heard today.

"What do you say about the king's power and wealth, what precepts and rules are you afraid of, I just want the world to last forever, and follow the people I like......"

~~

There are still more than ten days before the wedding, and Xue Bai still goes to the Yushitai every morning to see things.

The imperial history has four responsibilities: picking, inspecting, impeaching, and pushing, which is equivalent to having the right to ask about everything that happens in Chang'an City, but in fact, it is still busy. But in the atmosphere of the Tianbao years, most of them can only be busy with small things, and the real big things have to be decided by those few characters who hold dozens of official positions.

In the past, Xue Bai served as a school scrivener in the secretary province and corrected typos for the secret house book, but now he is an imperial history in the imperial history platform, and one of his daily duties is to check whether the school scrivener of the secretary province has completed the correction of typos.

Interestingly, there are now several school scholars who are the same year as Xue Bai, Li Qiyun, Liu Changqing, and Li Jiayou......

After two years of being a jinshi together, Xue Bai, who was the youngest among the people that year, finally opened up the gap with them, in other words, he already had a little qualification, and he was the one who won them over as party henchmen and became the leader.

said that he was here to inspect the school secretary to do things, but when Zhu got together in the same year, he inevitably had a drink, and at the end, everyone expressed their attitude and waited to see Xue Bai bring down Li Linfu, which made the people of the world raise their eyebrows.

After returning to the Yushitai and sitting down in the official office, Yang Guozhong laughed and led someone over.

"Hahaha, Bai, look who's back."

Although Xue Bai was unexpected, he deliberately showed joy and said with a smile: "Brother Gongfu." ”

Yuan Zai rushed to Xue Bai in three steps, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you Xue Lang for your kind words, transfer me back to the court." ”

"It's the talent of Brother Gongfu, not my credit."

In the past, it was rare for several cores under Yang Chen's sect to get together again, in fact, it was already a matter of fact, Xue Bai and Yang Guozhong looked like each other, Yuan Zai fell the worst, and now he can only rely on the two of them to breathe.

At this time, Yuan Zai was actually afraid that the two of them would force him to make a statement, but fortunately, Xue Bai and Yang Guozhong talked about state affairs with the overall situation first.

"Kosuke came back just in time." Yang Guozhong said, "The conquest of Nanzhao is imminent, the imperial court is about to raise money and food, and Gongfu is good at this. ”

The so-called "school inspection" means that Yuan Zai's official rank is not enough, and the official sends him to handle the affairs of the branch member Wailang. Even so, it's a fat gap, and it's very easy to make a difference.

Yuan Zai was overjoyed in his heart, but he still glanced at Xue Bai.

Xue Bai nodded and said, "With Brother Gongfu taking on this burden, it must be much smoother for money, food, and military spending, but I still hope that you will cherish the people's power." ”

If you don't know, you still think that Yang Guozhong, the young secretary of Taifu, brought Yuan Zai to see the prime minister, and listened to the advice of the prime minister to recommend officials to him, who could hear that Xue Bai was just a palace attendant.

In fact, Yang Guozhong's personal relationship with Zhang Yan was not good, although seeing the wind made the rudder fall to Zhang Yan, it was nothing more than because of the benefits. He didn't want to report everything to Zhang Yan, so he brought Yuan Zai over and asked Xue Bai to talk to Zhang Yan.

This is one of Uncle Yang's clever ways to give gifts, called "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha".

When borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, everyone is Yang Dang, they are all brothers and friends, and when Yuan Zai said goodbye, Yang Guozhong continued to smile on his face, and began to talk to the palace servant Yushi as the emperor in the imperial history.

"This Imperial Palace, the envoy is still Luo Xizao."

Xue Bai listened to the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and smiled.

Although Yang Guozhong is said to be the official of the Imperial Historical Observatory, he was actually stripped of power by the envoys of the Three Yuan, and now that Li Linfu has the tendency to remove, he naturally can't wait to take back power.

In this matter, the two have common interests.

Getting rid of Luo Xizao, firstly, is to uphold justice, and secondly, it is extremely conducive to Xue Bai's prestige and qualifications, and it is also a big blow to Li Linfu.

Even if Xue Bai was secretly negotiating with Li Tengkong, it did not affect his power to fight Li Linfu, on the contrary, it was still a kind of beating and deterrence.

I have to say that Yang Guozhong has really made a lot of progress in the struggle for power, and now he is very good at taking advantage of the situation.

On this official road, no one slackened, and everyone did their best.

"Luo Xizao, it's the predecessor of Yushitai." Xue Bai said.

Yang Guozhong said: "Luo Xixiao has an uncle named Zhang Boji, who is Li Linfu's son-in-law, and the two are about the same age, and they have had a good relationship since childhood. Unlike you and An Lushan, one old and one young. ”

"Therefore, Rohi is a henchman of Gonu."

"Get rid of him, then Li Linfu will completely lose his prestige." Yang Guozhong asked with a smile: "Can Bai dare to impeach Luo Xizao?" ”

"But I don't know what the charges are?"

Yang Guozhong said: "Brother, I am stupid, so I came to find Ah Bai." ”

"Okay, then I'll settle the matter."

Xue Bai said, suddenly thinking in his heart that Li Tengkong really shouldn't be involved in the power struggle.

These things are not as simple as she thought, and he and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion will never hit it off.

Just like the alliance between the two countries, on the surface they send envoys to each other to talk, but behind the scenes, they are actually all hidden knives, and only when one party is hit by too many knives, bleeding does not stop, and begins to beg for mercy, there will be results.

~~

Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Glaive Hall.

"Let Seventeen Niang stabilize the shaft first, and we will design to get rid of Zhang Yan."

"Among the many sons-in-law of the saint, Zhang Yan has always been the most loved by the saint, and now he is in the limelight......

Li Linfu was lying on the chair, looking a little haggard, and said slowly: "Zhang Yan's biggest weakness is his identity as a colt, so as to get rid of him. ”

"But you don't know how?" Li Xiu couldn't think of a way.

"You also know about Xue Bai and Third Aunt Yang." Li Linfu said: "A character like Zhang Yan, do you think he doesn't have an outer room?" Ahem, Princess Ning has always distrusted him, so he did it very secretively. ”

Li Xiu was speechless for a while.

In today's Tang Dynasty atmosphere, there are too few people who are clean and self-conscious, his grandfather and Wu Fengniang, Xue Bai and Aunt Yang, Du family sisters and others, Zhang Yan is obviously no exception.

"Grandpa, at this time, is it too late to do this?"

"Go look it up."

"Yes."

Li Linfu closed his eyes tiredly and said, "I will write a book, transfer Hu to return to the court, and use Absi as the envoy of Fan Yang and Pinglu Jiedu." In this way, prestige may be restored...... Speaking of which, Xue Bai has already given me two ideas. ”

"But Absi is a Turk, guarding Hebei, in case ......"

"Of course the saint will not agree." Li Linfu said, "I heard that the concubine wanted to summon Xue Bai into the palace before he became married. I hope I've made a statement, and the shaft can find a way to say something nice for me. ”

At this point, he was already a little breathless, just like his prime minister, and now he was struggling to breathe.

~~

Du House.

Xue Bai didn't have time to play with Du Wulang recently, so he had to come to appease him, and talked to Du Youlin about Du Wulang's appearance.

At the end, Du Youlin said: "Then you will live at home tonight, right?" Curfew is coming soon. ”

"Listen to my uncle's arrangement."

Du Cheng and Du Yan glanced at each other and said, "I'll go and spread the futon." ”

"There's a Lao Niang."

In the study, Du Youlin couldn't help but talk to Xue Bai about business.

"Now that many things in this court are on the line, Wang Zhonghei is about to return to the court, whether he is in charge of Nanzhao; whether Li Linfu is the prime minister; Whether Zhang Yan pays homage to the prime minister or not, there is no fixed number, which is unsettling. ”

Xue Bai said: "At this time, the saint will not make a decision immediately, and he wants everyone to be uneasy. See who makes a mistake, who can't bear it first, who will be out, and then the winner will be clear, and everything will have a result. ”

Du Youlin suddenly realized.

"I see, the saint has the meaning of transposition? Waiting for Zhang Yan and Li Linfu to see who makes a mistake? ”

"It's like fighting cocks, right now it's when two fighting cocks have just come off the field, glaring at each other, and all parties bet to give them momentum."

Du Youlin asked in a low voice, "Who are you betting?" ”

Xue Bai's heart moved, and he had a joke, and asked, "I'll bet on you, uncle, how about it?" ”

"How can I be?" Du Youlin smiled and waved his hand, never thinking about paying homage to the prime minister at all.

He thought that was certainly impossible.

On the contrary, Du Yan and Xue Bai, who were cooking tea and soup on the side, secretly glanced at each other and made eye contact.

Du Youlin didn't notice this scene, twisting his long beard to taste Xue Bai's words, and said in his heart, no wonder Chang'an is this atmosphere, it turns out that Zhang Yan and Li Linfu are still trying to win over people.

But I wonder when these two fighting cocks started pecking each other?

"Uncle is serving as a young yin in Jingzhao Mansion, but it's going well."

"Shaoyin is not the only one, Liu Cao either listens to Li Linfu or Yang Guozhong." Du Youlin said: "I don't have much to do, it's going well." ”

Xue Bai couldn't understand such a "smoothness" and asked, "Yan Wu Ren Fa Cao, how are you doing?" ”

"He seems to have established himself, but he has little contact with me."

At this time, before the dusk drum sounded, a small official suddenly came to the door, and Du Youlin went to the lobby to meet him.

"Shaoyin, there is a case in the city!"

"The case?" Du Youlin was surprised and asked, "What day will there be no case in the city?" Why did you come to me today? ”

"Jing Yin is busy, saying that this case will be handled by Shao Yin."

When Du Youlin heard it, he knew that it was a big case, and said with bated breath: "Say it quickly." ”

"A pair of young men and women died in Xuanyangfang Jingyu Temple, please go quickly."

"This ......"

Du Youlin was puzzled, and didn't understand why Yang Guozhong deliberately asked him to handle such a case.

Although it was late, he had to go and change into his official robe again.

And the little official took advantage of this moment and whispered a word to Xue Bai.

"Xue Yushi, Jing Yin asked me to tell you that Luo Xizheng has already gone to the Pure Domain Temple, and this case is only related to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xue Bai nodded, and followed Du Youlin to the Pure Domain Temple.

……

In the twilight drum, everyone arrived at the Pure Domain Temple, and sure enough, they saw Luo Xixiao examining a female corpse.

Xue Bai stepped forward and looked at it, there were two corpses, a man and a woman hugging each other, although the female corpse was dressed as a maidservant, the material of the clothes was unusual, and the appearance was gorgeous.

At a glance, he knew that he was so stunning, but he was afraid that it would involve the minister.

Du Youlin saw it, and finally reacted, looking at the pale face of the deceased and muttered.

"The cockfight began?"

There is a schematic map of the land use of Xuanyangfang at the back of this chapter.,You can take a look.,It's helpful to the plot~~.

(End of chapter)
