When Xiao Yunfan heard that Wu Dongyang was going to prepare fragrant soup for himself to bathe, he said secretly: "Oops, if I take a bath, won't this diorama be dismantled? ”

The present prevaricates the past. Wu Dongyang originally wanted to ask his disciples and grandchildren to come to visit, but Xiao Yunfan said: "Xiao Wu, I will not see others." I have an important business to do in Chengdu, Sichuan this time, and I need your help. ”

Wu Dongyang said: "Uncle Shi only has to order, as long as Xiao Wu and I can do it, I will do it for you." ”

Xiao Yunfan waved his hand and said, "I recently accepted a closed disciple named Lu Ping, this kid has never seen anything in the world." I heard that you are going to the Shu Palace, so you can take him with you when you arrive. ”

Wu Dongyang hurriedly said: "I don't know where this Uncle Lu is now? ”

Xiao Yunfan coughed and said, "What Senior Uncle Lu, he is much younger than you, and it will be almost the same if you call him Senior Brother Lu then." ”

Wu Dongyang hurriedly said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, I can't mess with the seniority." ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "What is the generation, I asked him to go to the Shu King's Mansion with you to see the world." I'm here to say hello to you this time, I still have important things to do. Lu Ping will entrust it to you. ”

Wu Dongyang said: "Uncle Shi, the apprentice often wants to repay your kindness, you are here for a few more days, and when I am done, I am waiting for you to be old." You don't dislike living here, I let the apprentices wait for a good life, you think it's good. ”

Xiao Yunfan twisted the rat's whiskers and said, "Come on, come on, I know your filial piety." You know that I'm the one who is most afraid of restraint, so I won't stay. I'll ask Lu Ping to come to you in the evening. ”

Wu Dongyang scratched his head and said, "Uncle Shi, you always like to drink the most. Or let the apprentices and grandchildren get a little filial piety. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "I won't drink the wine, you keep it for yourself." I'm leaving. As he spoke, he was about to get up, Wu Dongyang knew that this elder had a strange temper, and he didn't dare to disobey it at the moment.

I had to send him out in person, and when I left, I specially took a bag of silver and stuffed it to him.

Outside the palace of the king of Shu, the team of Hao Hao Tang Tang was waiting outside the door like a long dragon. The guards in iron armor were divided into two columns, each holding a spear crossed.

When the celebrant took the invitation from the guest, the pair was released.

Most of the guests who came to congratulate were gentry and magnates in Sichuan, and they rushed to come non-stop when they got the news.

During the day, the royal palace set up 300 tables in the garden to receive these distinguished guests, and the congratulatory gifts were piled up in three houses.

The governor of Sichuan Province, the chief soldier, and the principal leaders of the Yamen also attended the ceremony.

King Duan was dressed in a bright yellow robe, wearing a beaded crown and holding the princess on a high platform.

Duanwang said with a spring breeze on his face: "It is an honor for the guests to come." The king and the princess first toast to everyone. All the guests said in unison: "I wish the princess a long and healthy life." The princess returned the salute to the people.

After a while, a person below said in the ear of King Duan: "Lord Qiqi, someone has come to the palace." ”

King Duan nodded and said, "Hurry up, please." A white-faced bearded old eunuch entered through the moon cave door with six servants.

Duanwang stepped forward from afar and arched his hand: "Grandpa Zhang, has you always been good?"

Gonggong Zhang said with a smile: "The old slave asks the prince to say goodbye, and the princess Jin An." ”

King Duan smiled: "Gonggong Zhang has come from thousands of miles away, please take a seat inside." Zhang Gonggong said: "Our family has come to present a gift to the princess by the mouth of the concubine." ”

The princess bowed her head and said, "How is the concubine?" Zhang Gong said fairly: "The concubine is healthy together, why don't you bring the congratulatory gift quickly." ”

There are a total of six congratulatory gifts: a pair of jade ruyi, a phoenix hairpin, a coral tree, a jade cabbage, a pair of red plum bottles, and four cloud grosgrain.

After offering a congratulatory gift, the man said fairly: "Lord, the old slave has to rush back to resume his life, and he really can't delay." ”

Duan Wang said: "Come and give your father-in-law a glass of wine." The crowd exchanged a few more greetings and sent the father-in-law away.

King Duan ordered people to pay tribute to the gifts given by the concubine one by one. This concubine is not an outsider, she is the emperor's favorite concubine Zheng today, and she can be favored by her, and she is the same as the emperor's favor.

After everyone returned to the table, a group of literati and artists gave speeches to celebrate their birthdays, which was very lively. The invited troupes also performed on stage one by one, and the audience was too addicted.

In the evening, King Duan stayed with the governor, the chief soldier, the envoy and others to feast and drink. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

King Duan ordered all the idle people to go down, leaving only Ji Qianyun alone. Xu Yuantai said: "I don't know what the prince has to discuss?" Duan Wang glanced at Ji Qianyun.

Ji Qianyun smiled and said, "Lord Xu, the prince invited the list to discuss the overall situation of Sichuan this time. ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts were full of joy. Xu Yuantai said in his heart: "King Duan has never asked about the world, and he doesn't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?"

While he was thinking about it, three people walked out of the next room, it was Lu Wannian of Jinyiwei.

Lu Wannian raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Lord Xu, dare to discuss our affairs here." ”

Xu Yuantai glanced at Ji Qianyun and said slowly: "Errand, our business is official, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to discuss it in the prince's mansion." ”

Duan Wang said: "There is nothing wrong. This king invited a few people to come to the official business. ”

Zhou Guanghao got up suddenly, arched his hands and said: "According to the law of my dynasty, the prince is not allowed to ask about politics." ”

Duanwang's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly. Ji Qianyun said lightly: "According to the inspection, it is a great official. Zhou Guanghao said: "Who are you, where do you have the right to speak." ”

Lu Wannian sneered: "Lord Zhou, our brother came to mention the crime by the holy decree, let me ask you where the crime is?"

Zhou Guanghao said: "According to the agreed deadline that day, I failed to hand over the prisoner. If you want to make a difference, take me. ”

Lu Wannian said: "Okay, don't think that my brother doesn't dare. Xu Yuantai laughed and said: "The upper difference is angry, we are here today to congratulate the princess on her birthday, and if we want to talk about business, let's go back to the yamen and say." ”

Ji Qianyun said: "What the adults are discussing, the villain has a countermeasure here, I don't know if you adults are willing to listen." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Ji Qianyun's face, and seeing that he was dressed as a Confucian student, he thought he was a staff member of the palace.

Xu Yuantai said with a smile: "Mr. Ji is the prince's staff, and the prince has also begun to care about political affairs. ”

Ji Qianyun said with a smile: "Lord Xu, eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries." The prince is rewarded with rice by the saint every year, and it is also within his duty to share the emperor's worries. ”

Xu Yuantai said: "That's right, it's a good food king's luck, and the king's worries." Let me listen to Mr. Gao's opinion?" Ji Qianyun said: "The thing you are worried about is just the disappearance of the Qin prisoner, and this villain can serve your adults." ”

Lu Wannian pouted and said, "Tsk, Lord Zhou can't find out an eyebrow, what ability does your little staff have to find out about this matter?"

Ji Qianyun said: "Tonight, the prince served three dishes for the lords, and the name of this dish is called Shui Luoshi. Men came and brought up the prisoners. ”

Outside the door, several guards escorted Luo Jiutian into the house. Xu Yuantai chuckled in his heart when he saw Luo Jiutian, but he didn't show it on his face.

Zhou Guanghao said: "It's you." Luo Jiutian raised his head and looked at everyone: "It seems that you are all here." ”

Ji Qianyun pointed at Luo Jiutian and said: "This person's name is Luo Jiutian, and he is the helmsman of the Sichuan branch of the Chishui Gang. This is the mastermind of the prison robbery. Zhou Guanghao said curiously: "Where did Mr. Ji take this thief?"

Ji Qianyun said: "Back to my lord, the prince was prescient and knew that the Chishui Gang was restless, so he deliberately let people go undercover in the Chishui Gang. Sure enough, their treacherous plot was discovered. As he spoke, he clapped his palms. Outside the door, another young man walked in.

Luo Jiutian's face changed, and he blurted out: "Xiang Ying, are you not dead?" The young man's appearance was exactly the same as Xiang Ying, and he saluted everyone at the table. Luo Jiutian pondered: "Could it be that all this is a deliberate game set up by this gentleman." ”

Ji Qianyun smiled and said, "Did you hear that? This person not only robbed the prison, but also recklessly disregarded people's lives. Lord Zhou, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, what crime should be punished for murdering people's lives?"

Zhou Guanghao snorted coldly and said, "Naturally, it is a capital crime." Ji Qianyun said to Xiang Ying: "Tell your grievances quickly, there are all your lords here to call the shots for you." ”

That Xiang Ying said: "Villain Xiang Ying, I also have an elder brother who is a fellow mother, Xiang Xiong." The two of us were assigned by Lord Duan to go undercover in the Chishui Gang.

My eldest brother learned about the culprit Luo Jiutian's robbery, and he was killed, and asked the adults to seek justice for the villain. As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Zhou Guanghao looked at Luo Jiutian and said slowly: "Let me ask you, why did you rob the prison?

Luo Jiutian laughed and said proudly: "Hmph, Luo is now in your hands, whether you say it or not, it is a death." Lord Zhou, do you dare to say that you dare to listen?"

Ji Qianyun calculated that Luo Jiutian was going to climb, and with a blow of the wind, he hit Luo Jiutian's dumb point in the air.

His hand is so clever that it is naturally difficult for others to see. Zhou Guanghao saw that Luo Jiutian was suddenly speechless, and knew that this matter was strange.

Ji Qianyun said: "Xiang Ying, where Luo Jiutian hid the prisoners, you can tell me quickly." ”

That Xiang Ying told Luo Jiutian the whole plan and inventory, and everyone was secretly surprised when they heard it, and they all felt that Luo Jiutian was extremely bold.

Ji Qianyun said again: "Listed as an adult, there is another person who has not yet been arrested for planning this matter, this person is called Xiao Yunfan." The matter of the proud building is the handiwork of this person.

We took Luo Jiutian tonight, and Xiao Yunfan would jump out by himself in a while. The second dish of the prince is called killing two birds with one stone. ”

Li Yingxiang said: "Mr. Ji, you arrested Luo Jiutian. In other words, the Chishui Gang is also implicated in the anti-book case?"

Ji Qianyun said: "No, the culprit who planned this matter is Luo Jiutian alone, and it has nothing to do with the Chishui Gang." ”

Li Yingxiang said again: "This Chishui Gang should owe us a lot of military rations, you take this person, and his men are scattered as birds and beasts." Who should I ask for this ration?"

Ji Qianyun said: "General Li is not in a hurry, and listen to me." Luo Jiutian is Luo Jiutian, and the Chishui Gang is the Chishui Gang.

As long as you make Luo Jiutian's case an iron case, the Chishui Gang will naturally be grateful and virtuous, and I believe that the Chishui Gang will not refuse to give the military rations that the chief soldier wants. ”

Luo Jiutian listened to every word in his ears, and said in his heart: "This person is really calculating.

The old gang leader will definitely not intercede for me. It seems that I still underestimated Duan Wangye. ”
