The rain falls on people's knees

When Shangguan Yi came out of Bihai Pavilion again, he was followed by a small guy carrying a few bags of things, the weight of the things happened to be Shangguan Yi holding a sword in one hand, it was not easy to mention, if there was one more small guy, Shangguan Yi didn't need to mention it, and the small guy wouldn't be too hard, just right.

This little guy is naturally Mo Lan, and when he brought this up, Shangguan Yi guessed it but was a little incredulous. Because people are good-looking, especially the ancients, coupled with Mo Lan's identity: a four-grade official, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, an important member of the Mo family, this is a great combination, not to mention who is not a proud person? Mo Lan looks kind does not mean that he is a bad person with no temper, he is proud in his bones.

I didn't expect him to be able to sacrifice to such a point for the investigation of the case, but think about it, if he was stuck in the form or something, I am afraid he would not be able to climb to the current position.

"Speaking of which, I don't know how the Yue family is going, do you know?" Shangguan Yi chatted with Mo Lan with a similar expression, as if he was chatting with a servant, without paying much attention but not despising it, just right.

"I know most of the places in Kyoto very well. Mo Lan lowered her head and replied like a real little guy. This is not the first time he has played a small girl, and practice makes perfect? Anyway, he thinks that there are not so many loopholes.

"Then you're very powerful, Kyoto is so big, you know most of the places. Shangguan Yi sincerely admired, you know, Kyoto is a place that can't even be completely covered by the perception that naturally spreads when he is cultivating, how big is it, Shangguan Yi doesn't know, but it must be much larger than the area projected on the plane of the Great Light Temple. In such an area, Mo Lan was actually familiar with most of them.

"If you run more, you will be familiar, the guests will come to the East China Sea for the first time, and they are naturally unfamiliar with the place, so if they stay for a long time, they will be very familiar. Mo Lan said very politely in a small tone, but in fact, his words had a deep meaning.

Who can sit in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple from the beginning? Shangguan Yi can't do it, and neither can Mo Lan, especially after a change of imperial throne, Mo Lan can get to this position, and only he knows how much effort he has put in, how can clues be so easy to find? How can officialdom be so easy to climb? He is insignificant, and when he was penniless, he ran all over Kyoto, and as for those places that are prone to accidents, he doesn't know how many times he has run, how many shops there are in each street, what kind of business the shopkeeper has, and how many people in the family he knows. It's so detailed, and it's hard work, if he doesn't go up, how many people are worthy of it?

"In this way, then you are very hard, please lead the way this time, right?" Shangguan Yi could hear his voice, and he was also a little emotional, it was not easy for him to come all the way.

Mo Lan nodded: "Well, it should be, the guest walks this way." ”

"What are you doing here?" This is Lin Tao's voice, he was just about to enter Bihai Pavilion, but he saw that Shangguan Yi, who he met yesterday, was here again, and asked a Bihai Pavilion guy to carry a lot of things, looking like he was going to bribe someone.

Yes, bribery, Lin Tao didn't think that Shangguan Yi was a decent man, let alone that he would have any old friends living in the East China Sea and needed him to visit.

"Haha, isn't this some fate with the young master of the Yue family, Pingshui, I finally came to Kyoto to visit him, it's just a famous family, you know, if you go empty-handed, even if the young master of the Yue family doesn't care, others will have some complaints, so I came to purchase a little thing to show my heart. Shangguan Yi said half-truthfully, don't panic because of Lin Tao's appearance.

"Really, then you go, it's not too early, don't rush to the meal, it's not very polite, do you know the way?" Lin Tao thought about it, and felt that there was no problem, since Shangguan Yi and Jun Yishen were very familiar, it was reasonable to have some friendship with Yue Zhengdao, the Yue family was a local snake in Kyoto, and it was very simple and convenient to do a lot of things, and it was normal for this guy to have a relationship with Lala.

After Lin Tao made up for it himself, he also kindly asked Shangguan Yi.

"It's not a big problem, there is this little brother, it's not too early, I'll go first. Shangguan Yi casually pointed at Mo Lan, there was a hint of reliance in his words, but most of them were indifferent.

Lin Tao glanced at Mo Lan, because the latter was disguised as a little girl, so he didn't see anything, and said, "Okay." "Then he entered the Bihai Pavilion.

"Let's go. Shangguan Yi greeted Mo Lan and officially set off to the Yue family.

"I didn't expect you to get him, it's not easy to pass the test so easily. After walking for a while, Mo Lan whispered.

"Huh, he's not going to do it, it's just a consensus for the time being, what's his origin? It's special?" Shangguan Yi finally seized the opportunity to ask this question.

"He is a member of the East China Sea Guard, and he is loyal to the East China Sea, but he is not very receptive to my methods and methods, and always thinks that I may be treasonous, so he has been watching me for a long time. I can also let him go, anyway, I don't have any invisible people, unless I deliberately frame it, otherwise it won't be a big problem to get into trouble with the emperor. Mo Lan is free and easy.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm here to do something and then trouble you?" Shangguan Yi smiled a little on the corner of his mouth, Mo Lan was a bit interesting, which suited his appetite.

"If you are, I will personally arrest you and bring you to justice, the emperor is reasonable, and he will not punish me much when he is employing people. Mo Lan said her plan without changing her face.

"But it's not for a lifetime. "Shangguan Yi will take him into the army again, who will be able to gain the king's trust forever? When he is old and suspicious, these will become hidden dangers for Mo Lan's tragic end.

"I didn't say it was a lifetime. Mo Lan was still calm, but the firmness and murderous aura contained in the calm told Shangguan Yi that this sentence was not simple, but Mo Lan didn't trust Shangguan Yi, so he didn't finish speaking.

His reserved words were: The emperor will not trust him all the time, and he knows and understands this, because ...... He will not always be loyal to the emperor! He is not loyal to a certain person, but to the Ming Jun in that position, who can lead the East China Sea to a better future, because the current emperor is, so he is full of liver and brain, and he does his best: if it is not or is no longer it, he may have other thoughts.

"Heh, you're kind of interesting, but you're lucky. Shangguan Yi smiled, not quite understanding what Mo Lan meant, but since he knew this, he thought that he also had some plans and ideas of his own, but it was different.

"There are always good times and bad times of luck, how do you know that I don't rely on strength?" Mo Lan said meaningfully, and after a pause, he said, "It's almost there." ”

"Huh, why is it so fast, and it doesn't seem to be a bustling or important area, right?" Shangguan Yi was a little surprised.

"The Yue family doesn't need those things, and this is their ancestral home, naturally secluded and remote, of course, only some. Yue Zhengdao and their master's family, people who do not have an official position should live here, after all, this is the root, and others may be in the big courtyard near the imperial city that the emperor has rewarded. Mo Lan explained slightly.

"Oh, that's right. "Shangguan Yi understands in seconds.

"When I arrived, that house was. Mo Lan pointed to a house in the distance that looked like it was some years old.

"I'm going to call the door. After leaving this sentence, Shangguan Yi strode forward, and came back a little disappointed after saying a few words to the two brothers guarding the door.

"Don't let you in?" Mo Lan's brows slowly furrowed.

"No, Yue Zhengdao is not here, that guy seems to have gone to propose, not long after leaving, well, it's not a coincidence. Shangguan Yi spread his hands, very helpless.

"Oh, this one. Mo Lan suddenly said that about Yue Zhengdao's marriage, even he, an outsider, was forcibly stuffed with more than N versions of rumors, although he was very concerned about these current news because of his special profession, but it was enough to show the popularity of this matter.

"You've heard of it too?" Shangguan Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Ha, this Kyoto, everyone knows, no one knows. It's just that I didn't expect this kid to give in in the end, and when he ran away, I still respected him as a man, hmph, and in the end it still disappointed me. Mo Lan snorted coldly.

"Oh, don't talk so much, going to propose doesn't mean he's giving in. Shangguan Yi said sinisterly.

"Going to propose marriage doesn't mean giving in, so marrying a marriage and entering the cave room is counted?" Mo Lan said disdainfully.

"Just go and see, it shouldn't be far away, right? You've heard the rumors, so you should know where that house is. Shangguan Yi smiled, in fact, he had some expectations, after all, this was a plan that he almost single-handedly supported.

"Let's go, by the way, do you want to gamble something?" Mo Lan looked at Shangguan Yi provocatively, and then took the lead in walking beside him.

"This ...... There is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door in hell for you to break in, what are you bet on?" Shangguan Yi's smile stiffened, and then he smiled quite brightly, and quickly followed him, walking side by side with him.

"Oh, you're sure?" Mo Lan immediately became alert.

"What do you think?" Shangguan Yi's smile remained unchanged, as if he had a chance to win.

"Then don't gamble, I'll see if what you're saying is right. "Mo Lan is also a master who doesn't see rabbits and eagles, and he doesn't seem to have much chance of winning at this time, so he gave up immediately.

"Actually, I'm not sure, it's just that people change, you know?" Shangguan Yi carried a hint of deep meaning.

"Right away...... Well, it seems to be raining, go over there and buy an umbrella, but it's okay not to buy it, it's coming soon, of course, it is still recommended that you buy it, after all, you will have to go back for a while, and the rain will not stop for a while. Mo Lan said, suddenly looked at the faint raindrops on the ground, and suggested.

"Why?" Shangguan Yi didn't think that Mo Lan could pinch and calculate, and he could measure the changes in the situation.

"This is a regular practice in Tokai Kyoto, especially in the rainy season recently, when heavy rain pours around the 15th and 16th. Mo Lan explained simply.

Shangguan Yi went to the roadside stall and took a piece of broken silver and bought an umbrella with the old man that was enough to shelter the two of them, put it on Mo Lan, and said, "That's just right, I just need it." ”

"You don't seem to be like this, right?" Mo Lan frowned, there was no master to give the servants an umbrella.

"Yes, but although your physique was not bad before, but recently it has begun to weaken, and you will get sick after a long time in the rain, you are not as noble as before, and it is better not to fall down easily. Shangguan Yi's eyebrows were faint, and he said this fact.

"Well, I'm really busy with official business, so I haven't run much, so you can mention a few, and I'll hold an umbrella for you." Mo Lan handed a few things to Shangguan Yi, took the umbrella herself, half a step behind Shangguan Yi like a real guy, and walked forward with an oil-paper umbrella.

"Well, there, there should be a place surrounded by a lot of people, it's strange, it's raining heavily, these people don't have umbrellas, what are you looking around?" Mo Lan asked a little puzzled.

"Lean over and look at ......," Shangguan Yi said, but was suddenly interrupted by a sentence from the crowd.

"Yue family, Yue Zhengdao asks to see the Chen family patriarch. ”

What followed was a sudden outburst of noisy voices, Shangguan Yi could only barely hear the words "kneeling" and "no interest", and only after squeezing in with Mo Lan did he see the situation in the crowd, the plaque hanging on this house was "Chen Family", and the owner's surname was Chen.

The gate of the house was closed, and there were several guards in front of the door blocking the gate, as if they were not allowed to enter, and in front of the gate was a group of people with some gifts, which were given in the form of lifting, tied with red cloth, and the meaning could not be more obvious. There was a young man kneeling in the open space in front of the gate, it was Yue Zhengdao, kneeling straight, his eyes were staring at the gate tightly, and next to him stood a middle-aged man about forty years old, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his body trembled slightly.

"This ...... What's going on?he's changed his character?" Mo Lan was also shocked.

"Well, a man has gold under his knees, and he won't kneel easily, Yue Zhengdao is determined to marry someone else now. Shangguan Yi praised, this is the result he wants, tell the people of the Chen family your mind with true sincerity, and prove it with actions, which is much more useful than rhetoric or something.

"No, you don't know, when Yue Zhengdao's mother died, his father was delayed because of a little thing, and his mother wanted to see him for the last time, but he didn't get what he wanted until he died, and he didn't blink his eyes when he died, and then Yue Zhengdao had some estrangement with his father and those old stubborns of the Yue family, he was five years old at the time, and now he is fifteen years old, ten years, he knelt down to the sky and knelt down to the Buddha, but he never knelt to anyone in the Yue family, not even the ancestors who died! Even if his father, the elder of the sect took a whip, closed the firewood room, and all kinds of punishments, he didn't give in, I thought that Yue Zhengdao would not kneel in this life, but I didn't expect that this time he knelt directly in front of the door in front of so many people, and really threw his face on the ground for others to abuse. Mo Lan approached Shangguan Yi and whispered, his voice full of shock.

Why is Yue Zhengdao the little demon king of the mixed world in Kyoto? No one can clean him up, his own family can't discipline him, let alone others, after all, the young master of the Yue family is not something that others can handle, and the Yue family's face still has to be given, but the Yue family itself can't discipline him, which is very embarrassing, and he was found by someone else, Yue Zhengdao Lao Tzu held it, scolded him a few times, and beat him a few times at most, and it passed, and it didn't hurt or itch. In this way, it has become what it is now, everyone is used to it, after all, if you don't do evil things, some small things, patience will pass.

It's just that who would have thought that as soon as Yue Zhengdao came back this time, he gave them a big surprise, because they refused to see them, and knelt directly on the cold ground in the rain, begging others to come out to see them, how humble is this?
