Chapter 95: Seeking Tiger Skin

Uncle Chen smiled slightly and said, "No, the lower official asked the little prince to help track down the criminal, but he just wanted to know the whereabouts of the criminal, but he didn't suspect that the little prince was harboring and harboring." ”

"Then what can I do to help?Borrow someone to help you Mantianjing to investigate?" Yan Ji noticed that the other party was not good, and immediately stopped being polite, "This huge one is in the Yan Garden, even me, there are not many people, and I am very busy carrying water and growing vegetables every day, washing and cooking." What's more, there are countless people in Guiyi, so there won't be a shortage of such manpower, right?"

"Xiaguan is not here to borrow people. Chen Shuye shook his head and said, "The lower officials came to borrow something." ”

Yan Ji raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"

Uncle Chen said: "I heard that Guiyan Garden treasures a 'lady dancing sword picture', a 'blue eye golden furnace', and a 'smoke level ink inkstone', these are the three things. Is the little prince willing to borrow it from the lower officials?"

Yan Ji was puzzled: "They are all just calligraphy and painting antiques made by famous artists in the previous dynasty, and they are rare and rare, but I don't know what Guiyi Si is doing with these things? What effect can they have on tracking down criminals?"

Chen Shuye still just smiled: "The little prince only needs to answer, borrow or not." ”

Yan Jian shook his head: "There are very few relics left by the previous dynasty, these objects have been handed down in my family for a hundred years, containing the sorrow and sustenance of the Yan kings of the past dynasties to the ancestors, not my own thing, but the spiritual symbol of the descendants of all generations, and they cannot be borrowed." What's more, Deputy Commander Chen has no suitable reason, and I can't accept it. ”

"Well, there is naturally no shortage of reasons, but the lower officials are afraid that the little prince will listen to it and will not be very happy. ”

When Uncle Chen said this, he deliberately stretched his voice very long.

Yan Ji frowned when he heard this: "It's okay for Deputy Commander Chen to speak bluntly. ”

"These things are not for the Guiyi Division to use, but for me to use, and it is not that with these things I can find the prisoner, but with these things, I do not need to go to the prisoner; in fact I already know the whereabouts of the prisoner, but after obtaining these things, I can not know the whereabouts of the prisoner. ”

Uncle Chen's words went around and around, and Yan Ji and Liu Lao were a little confused at first, but when they heard the end, their faces changed.

"Deputy Commander Chen, what do you mean?" Yan Ji's expression didn't look angry, but he was much more gloomy, "Listen to your tone, it's like threatening me." ”

"Even if you give the lower official a hundred dares, the lower official will not dare to threaten the little prince. Uncle Chen's face smiled even more, "What kind of person is the little prince? The iron coupon pill book given by Emperor Gaozu can be punished by King Yan for all sins, but only one sin is not forgiving." ”

"Uncle Chen, please be cautious!" Liu Lao suddenly said in a loud voice, "Falsely accuse and sit back, if you say such unfounded words, you will be killed, but you!"

Those who are given iron coupons are forgiven all punishments, except for one crime.

It is rebellion.

No matter what dynasty or generation, there is no sin greater than rebellion. No merciful monarch will forgive anyone who wants to rebel. At worst, only one of them will be punished and punished with beheading or Ling Chi, and at worst, all the nine clans will be beheaded or exiled as slaves, and even the graves will be dug up, so that the bones of their ancestors will not be at peace.

Uncle Chen looked innocent, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said, "What did the lower official falsely accuse? The lower official didn't say anything." This is Mr. Liu Yizhi, who has served three generations of Yan Wang, you have rich experience, and you know best what to say and what not to say, and what can and cannot be done. ”

Yan Ji still remained calm: "Deputy Commander Chen, what do you mean?"

"What Xia Guan said is obvious, doesn't the little prince still understand?" Uncle Chen said at night, "Xia Guan only needs three things: 'Lady Dancing Sword Diagram', 'Blue Eye Golden Furnace', and 'Smoke Horizontal Ink Inkstone'. ”

"I see. Yan Yu nodded and said, "Deputy Commander Chen, do you know an idiom called 'seeking skin with a tiger'? There is also an interesting story about this idiom. It is said that once upon a time in the far north, there was an excellent hunter, the best at hunting hares and foxes, there was a winter, much colder than before, extremely cold, many animals were frozen to death, the hunter also felt very cold, heard that the tiger skin in the mountains was the warmest, so he found the tiger, and the tiger discussed whether to peel off its skin, to keep himself warm. The tiger said, 'I can give you the skin, but I am hungry and want to fill my belly.' The hunter said, 'What do you want to eat?' The tiger said, 'Don't be so troublesome, isn't that what you see?' and then the tiger killed the hunter and ate him whole. In this way, the tiger is full again, and the hunter's wish to be wrapped in tiger skin is fulfilled again. ”

After listening to it, Uncle Chen said: "This story actually originated in Xiaguan's hometown. ”

Yan Yu said: "Since Deputy Commander Chen knows this story, why do you want to come again? Aren't you afraid that the tiger will eat you?"

"A hunter is just a hunter after all, and no matter how good his hunting skills are, he is just an inferior person who relies on brute strength to beg for food. Uncle Chen said, "The tiger can eat the hunter, not only because the tiger is more powerful than the hunter, but also because the tiger eats the hunter, and it will not have any negative effect." But if the hunter was the first to find the tiger in a team of hunters who were fighting tigers, I am afraid that the wise choice of the tiger would be to peel off some of the skin and give it to the hunter in exchange for saving his life. ”

"Uncle Chen, you are really bold......"

Liu Lao opened his mouth to say something, but Uncle Chen walked straight out: "Tomorrow, Xia Guan will come to Guiyan Garden again, and I hope that when the time comes, the little prince will be able to prepare all three things." ”

Later, Yan Ji and Liu Lao didn't say a word, staring at Uncle Chen's departing figure until he disappeared from sight, then they glanced at each other and sighed.

"Little Wangye, this Uncle Chen is obviously preparing to use Master Su's affairs to fabricate charges and falsely accuse us of rebellion. Although Liu Lao has always been old and serious, he is not very able to calm down at this time, "Our situation is not good now." Master Su was written down in the ledger of the transaction account, with the names of many people in our house written on it, and listening to Uncle Chen's statement, he wanted to use the ledger to accuse everyone of hoarding private soldiers in Tianjing. ”

Yan Yu said: "Having said that, the crime is not something that can be safed if you want to be safe, I think that as long as Master Su is transferred as soon as possible and hidden in a place where no one can find it, everyone will be safe." ”

"Little Prince, don't underestimate the sinister nature of those people too much!" Liu Lao said in a serious tone, "If you want to add crimes, why do you have no excuses?" What's more, it's not a day or two that Tyranny wants to get rid of us, the previous generations of Sons of Heaven can still be like a good thing and maintain peace on the surface, but this generation of Sons of Heaven is acting more and more excessively, and they will almost have a trumped-up crime and put us all in prison. ”

"Mr. Yizhi, is your words a bit serious?" Yan Ji frowned and said, "Even if it is convicted of rebellion, it is not something that Uncle Chen can testify with one mouth and an account book that does not distinguish between authenticity and falsehood." Su Liangjing is afraid that Hu Yinyin will collude with the government to frame him, we are not afraid, we just need to fight on the basis of reason, and Yu Tianzi will not dare to act too recklessly. ”

Liu Lao said: "This generation of Yu Tianzi himself is actually not worried, although the tyranny Yu is currently a rich country and a prosperous scene, but it is all based on the accumulation of previous generations of Tianzi, Yu Tianzi is really incompetent." But there is a person who can make many decisions for Yu Tianzi, and once he speaks, Yu Tianzi will obey almost unconditionally and absolutely. This person is ruthless and can do anything. ”

Yan Ji was stunned: "This person is ......"

Liu Lao said: "Naturally, it is that Yan Shuangfei, Yan Tianshi!"
