The moon is the hometown of Ming (middle)

As soon as Li Dao left, only the unconscious Xu Changan, the anxious little master and the calm tea drinker were left in the bamboo building.

The commotion caused by the pillar of light slowly calmed down in the second half of the night, and the night wind gusted, and a white kitten was attracted by the pillar of light and also touched the bamboo valley.

When the master saw Xiaobai's eyes light up, he immediately became solemn, and a murderous intent loomed from his body.

Xiao Bai naturally felt this killing intent, stared at the master tightly, took two steps back, and stopped at the door, as long as the master moved, it could immediately jump out.

Xiaobai's body bowed, the hair on his body stood up, and in order to give himself courage, he also screamed.

The Master stared at him deadly.

Since he heard the hexagram of Tianji Pavilion, he was very annoyed in his heart. If the two brothers of the Xiangliu clan ran out and really opened the seal in the future, wouldn't he be a sinner for the ages?

There is no way to be annoyed, when he heard Li Daoyi finish saying his words, although he did not show half of his emotions on his face, he had already made up his mind that he would never make this kind of mistake again next time, and the species with foreign bloodlines would rather kill the mistake than let it go!

The two sides are tense, Xiaobai has already retreated, but he is reluctant. There was actually a touch of worry on the little cat's face, after all, it could feel that Xu Changan was here.

Seeing this, the little master immediately ran to the door and picked up Xiaobai.

When he was in the Hou Mansion, Xiaobai had also seen Xiaofuzi, so naturally he had no feelings of resistance.

With a hint of embarrassment on his face, he said to his master with a smile: "Master, this is the one who has been following Xu Changan, it can be regarded as a pet!"

When the master heard this, he moved his gaze from Xiaobai to other places.

The hair on Xiaobai's body smoothed down, and the little master also breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the master who looked at the window, and then carried Xiaobai to the room where Xu Changan was lying.

When Xiaobai saw Xu Changan, he put his mind at ease and lay quietly on Xu Changan's pillow, curled up in a ball.

The little master turned back sharply, but saw the master standing at the door.

The little master was about to pick up Xiaobai, but saw the master shake his head and turn away.

The little master always felt that the master came back a little weird this time, but he couldn't say anything strange, looked at Xiao Bai, who was quietly curled up beside Xu Chang'an's pillow, smiled, walked out, and closed the door by the way.

They let go of their hanging hearts, knowing that it was only a matter of time before Xu Changan woke up.

......

Following.

Xue Zhengwu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, found Chai Xintong in an inn, and he personally led Chai Xintong to receive the temporary Qincha Great Seal, and the required materials and procedures were quickly completed. At the same time, he also found a temporary house for him to live in Chongrenfang.

Chai Xintong didn't have much of it, just a baggage, which contained some silver tickets and a few green shirts that had been replaced by brocade robes.

When he moved into the house, there was already an old housekeeper and a few little maidservants waiting, Chai Xintong wanted to send these people away, but was persuaded by Xue Zhengwu.

These people already make a living from this, if Chai Xintong drives them out, they will have to worry about their livelihood, but if Chai Xintong leaves them, even if they don't want them to take care of them, they don't have to spend anything, after all, someone above has taken into account Chai Xintong's background and knows that he doesn't have much silver taels on him, so the first quarter of the housekeeper and the maidservant's salary is also paid by the imperial court.

When Chai Xintong heard him say this, he didn't care about them.

But he knew very well in his heart, not to mention that these people were all spies of the Holy Emperor or the Inspectorate, but at least one or two were hidden inside.

Now that they were all here, he had to let them live under the same roof with him.

Gu found a room, put away his baggage, rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up, Xue Zhengwu stood not far away and looked at Chai Xintong.

After Chai Xintong cleaned up, he walked up to Xue Zhengwu and said with a ashamed face: "I'm sorry, I made Lord Xue wait for a long time." ”

Xue Zhengwu looked at the group of slaves and maids who were cleaning other places, smiled meaningfully, and walked out with Chai Xintong.

The two of them first went to the Supervision Institute, and Chai Xintong, as a messenger, must have an understanding of the three envoys of the three divisions, so they were personally led by Shangshu of the Criminal Department and visited them one by one.

Pan Jinhai is a sleek person, and after a few words of greeting with the two, the three of them rushed all the way to Dali Temple.

Luo Shaohua came out to meet the three of them, and he didn't even dare to look up at Chai Xintong. Who would have thought that the prisoner of the steps a few days ago would become his temporary boss today, while the previous master would become a prisoner.

Chai Xintong remembered this person, Xue Zhengwu had been helping him and Xu Changan buy time, but this person just made trouble from it. From his point of view, there is nothing wrong with what Luo Shaohua did, but his face is a little ugly.

Luo Shaohua didn't dare to look up at Chai Xintong, Chai Xintong looked at him, and asked in a deep voice: "Lord Luo, do I have pockmarks on my face, and I don't dare to look up because of the eyes of adults." ”

When Luo Shaohua heard this, he sighed in his heart, this Chai Qincha is ready to settle accounts after the autumn!

But he could only raise his head stubbornly, his face flushed.

As soon as Chai Xintong glared, he trembled, and the official was crushed to death, not to mention that it was his original master who was in a dilemma.

Chai Xintong looked at his cowardice, but he didn't care about it in his heart, after all, the situation that day, if it wasn't for Xue Shangshu's forced delay, I was afraid that he would have been in a different place. Moreover, what Luo Shaohua did was in accordance with the law and rules.

He patted Luo Shaohua's shoulder heavily, and said with a smile: "Forget the previous one, in this matter, you have to do business!"

Luo Shaohua was frightened by him, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Chai Xintong's smile was meaningful.

Chai Xintong didn't care what he thought, and continued to ask: "Is Xuanyuan Chi already imprisoned in Dali Temple, he was a prince before, and the cell was also arranged according to the specifications. ”

When Luo Shaohua heard Chai Xintong say this, his face was extremely ugly, and his whole body trembled even more.

Luo Shaohua, I brought the eldest prince out of the palace at the end of the hour, and the documents are proof, there is your big seal on it, and there is also my big seal, if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with my criminal department!"

"Also, the cultivation of the Great Prince was sealed by the Holy Emperor himself!"

Xue Zhengwu saw Luo Shaohua's expression and shouted.

Pan Jinhai's eyes narrowed, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, he is more like a monitor, watching whether the three of them are acting according to the rules and laws.

"Say!" Chai Xintong's face was gloomy, and his voice was low.

Luo Shaohua was originally indebted and afraid of Chai Xintong, but when he heard this, he knelt down with weak legs.

"Your Excellency, forgiveness, Great ...... Xuanyuan was taken away. ”

He originally wanted to call the eldest prince, but now that Xuanyuan Chi is guilty, the three words "eldest prince" naturally can't be shouted anymore.

"Is there a handover document and a big seal on both sides?" Xue Zhengwu was afraid that Chai Xintong would not understand the procedure, so he took the lead in helping him ask.

Luo Shaohua shook his head.

"What about the Holy Emperor's summons?"

Luo Shaohua still shook his head.

Chai Xintong looked at him, there was anger burning in his eyes, he could not care about the things in the law field, but he had to take care of this matter.

"Then what do you mean by this? Could it be that this official is newly appointed and looks down on this official?" Although Chai Xintong has never been an official, there is really such a thing when he puts it up.

Luo Shaohua knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "My lord's forgiveness, it's not that the lower officials deliberately want to let him go, it's just that ...... Just ......"

"Just what!" Chai Xintong shouted.

Luo Shaohua gritted his teeth, and could only say: "That person can't be stopped by the lower officials, it's the king of Jin, how can the lower officials stop him?"

Xue Zhengwu looked at him, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"What are you Luo Shaohua in charge of, what is he in charge of King Jin? Why does he mention people? Why do you give it to him!"

These questions just asked the key point, and also exposed Luo Shaohua's official character.

No matter who it is, as long as he feels that he is higher than himself, no matter whether the other party has the right or not, as long as it is useful for his career, he will do his best to do things for him.

Luo Shaohua lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Hearing that it was King Jin who took Xuanyuan Chi away, Chai Xintong was not worried, he looked at Luo Shaohua.

"I took a look at your information, you are also a scholar, all the way to show talent, and finally won the position of the top in Chang'an, because of fate, let you become the temple secretary of Dali Temple. ”

Luo Shaohua has fine beads of sweat on his forehead, if he is in accordance with the style of officialdom, generally speaking, if he reveals the bottom of the old man, then he must have no good fruit to eat.

What he didn't expect was that Chai Xintong didn't scold him, but said lightly: "It's not easy to be admitted all the way, but don't lose your original intention, you are now an official, a member of the third grade, but you are also a scholar, you must have official authority, and you should have more style." The books you read should not be a stepping stone for you to become an official, it should be a pillar for you and the courtiers and the Holy Emperor to support the world. ”

Chai Xintong waved his hand, and Luo Shaohua stood up uncontrollably.

Chai Xintong didn't care about Luo Shaohua, and asked Xue Zhengwu: "Lord Xue, what happened to this Fan Yuzhi, have you found your whereabouts?

Xue Zhengwu clenched his fists and said: "Lord Hui Qincha, this Fan Yu has returned to the manor outside the city, our people have already controlled him, as long as he gives an order, he can be arrested." ”

Chai Xintong nodded, sighed and said, "Don't move for the time being, as for King Jin's side, you don't have to worry about it, I will go to visit in person." ”

Xue Zhengwu nodded, Luo Shaohua's face was complicated, but he was also relieved.

Pan Jinhai glanced at Chai Xintong a little strangely, such a tricky matter, if someone else would definitely force his subordinates or give in to King Jin, but he didn't expect that this Lord Chai took it himself.

Chai Xintong did not enter the Dali Temple, and the Dali Temple had no prisoners, so there was no meaning to visit.

He sighed, dismissed the three, and wandered the streets alone.

Flowing fire in July, clothing in September.

After July, the weather turns cooler. He wandered aimlessly alone, and before he knew it, there was a cold moon in the sky.

Chai Xintong randomly found a noodle stall on the side of the road, ate something, and walked out while the city gate was not closed.

In fact, even if Guo Jinghui lent him a token in order to facilitate his case, he could enter and leave Chang'an at any time.

He walked outside the legendary manor, and there was laughter and laughter from the two manors opposite, but the manor with a large locust tree planted in front of him was deserted, and the candles were not lit.

Chai Xintong tried it and pushed the door open.

The old man was draped in a thick robe and lay on a chaise longue in the courtyard.

He raised his head and looked at the bleak cold moon.

Chai Xintong stood behind him, and he didn't seem to notice or didn't want to deal with it.

"In the cloth, ask the hero, what is the use of Wang Tu's hegemony? The six generations of the palace of the high and low of Hexiao, the thousands of official mounds near and far, a nightmare! A nightmare!"

The old man read, his voice dragged on for a long time, and that long sigh made Chai Xintong's heart cold.

"Are you here?" said the old man lightly after finishing reading.

Chai Xintong nodded.

"Yes, uncle, I'm coming. ”

"I guess you'll be coming too, by the way, has Xian'er come back?"

Chai Xintong shook his head.

"She hasn't come back yet. ”

The old man smiled.

"It's good that I didn't come back, it's good that I didn't come back. She, since she was a child, was not a worrying child. ”

Chai Xintong was silent.

"By the way, what do you think of those sentences?"

This is written by Mr. Ma, who was recommended in the previous dynasty, became an official for a few days, and held power for a few days, then gave up power, returned to the rivers and lakes, and wrote this word in the grass house, and also accompanied the music. In the world, there are a few people who can see so thoroughly, Wang Tu hegemony, a nightmare. Chai Xintong replied.

The old man nodded.

"Well said, what's the use of Wang Tu's hegemony? A nightmare!"

He looked at the moon in the sky, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"It's a pity, I've been fighting for power and profit all my life, and I didn't understand this truth until I got to this juncture. If Mr. Ma is still alive, you will definitely call me stupid. ”

Chai Xintong's words reached his throat and swallowed.

"You, most people know your purpose, I actually don't want you to step into this muddy pool, because I want you to take good care of the Nine Immortals. ”

"......Uncle" Chai Xintong "Uncle" did not exit, Fan Yuzhi immediately said: "Lord Chai, don't call it that, you are an official." And I'm now a thief. ”

Chai Xintong thought about it, and could only say in a deep voice: "If there is a grievance, just say it, I will definitely make the decision." No matter how bad it is, the younger generation will do their best to make the uncle ...... The predecessors watched the moon in their hometown, not in this foreign land. ”

Fan Yuzhi stood up, trembling, Chai Xintong hurriedly supported him.

Chai Xintong saw that the old man had already burst into tears.

"It is said that the moon is the hometown of Ming, but I have no hometown, everyone wants to return to the roots, but I have no face. ”

"Everyone has a hometown...... Chai Xintong said hurriedly.

"But without the hometown of your relatives, is it still called your hometown?" Chai Xintong heard this, and stood in place, silent.

"In the past few decades, I have destroyed almost all my relatives in order to fight for power and profit, and I have no home, no hometown. The old man whispered.

Fan Yuzhi gently took his hand away, looked at the moon in the sky, and lay down on the chair.

"That's it, no matter how many crimes, I'll bear them. But I have one request. ”

"Senior, please speak. Chai Xintong was still very respectful, but a touch of sadness suddenly appeared in his voice.

"Don't implicate the Nine Immortals in this matter, definitely!"

Chai Xintong nodded solemnly, and said loudly.

"Definitely. ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand at Chai Xintong.

"Lord Chai, please go back, early tomorrow morning, I will go to Dali Temple by myself. ”

Chai Xintong turned to leave, only to reach the gate, turned around, and glanced at the old man.

"In the cloth, ask the hero, what is the use of Wang Tu's hegemony? The six generations of the palace of the high and low of Hexiao, the thousands of official mounds near and far, a nightmare! A nightmare!"

Chai Xintong's lips moved slightly, and the voice came again.

"A nightmare!"

"A nightmare!"

When Chai Xintong heard this, he also sighed and turned to leave.

Concentrate:

"In the cloth, ask the hero, what is the use of Wang Tu's hegemony? He Huang high and low six generations of palace, catalpa near and near thousands of official mounds, a nightmare! A nightmare!" This is a quote, made by Ma Zhiyuan in the Yuan Dynasty, name: "Pull Constantly"

Flowing fire in July, clothing in September. Willingness means that the heat of the summer in July is about to pass, and the weather is turning from hot to cool. Dressing in September: It's hot.
