In this compartment, everyone dispersed, only Xi Zhen and Guan Qing were in the same room. Xi Zhen saw that Guan Qing's soul was not guarded, she had been absent-minded, thoughtful and enlightened, and felt very sorry in her heart, so she said softly: "Sister Qing, what's wrong with you today? You have been absent-minded, is there something uncomfortable? Or have you walked for a few days, and you are a little tired? Blame me, for everyone's safety these days, I have snubbed you." ”

Guan Qing looked at Xi Zhen, her eyes seemed to be full of tears, but she said emptyly: "Brother Zhen, don't take me seriously, you are a person who does great things, how can you abolish big things because of me?"

Xi Zhen hurriedly panicked: "So far, don't you know my heart? You are the only thing in my heart, if you don't have you, even if I give the whole world? It will be lifeless and colorless." ”

Guan Qing's heart was in turmoil at this time, and there was an indescribable depression in her heart, knowing that it was useless to say more at this time. And he said no more. Xi Zhen felt that Guan Qing in front of him seemed to be separated from him by a transparent wall. Obviously, the two have a heart-to-heart relationship and love each other, but they can't really enter each other's hearts, and they are also very depressed. He didn't say anything anymore, just gently hugged Guan Qing into his arms.

At this time, two young hearts are beating, one is a hero who has been admired for a long time, and the other is a weak and boneless little jasper that makes people feel sorry for me. The two sensed each other's heartbeats, accompanied by the jumping candlelight, so close. Xi Zhen smelled the fragrance coming from his hair, looked at the jade man in his arms, and couldn't help but kiss it. With such an affectionate kiss, Guan Qing catered to it. It's night, and spring is in full swing here.

In the morning, the bright morning of spring came as promised, and Zhu Yunwen proposed to enjoy a day in Xuancheng. This Zhu Yunwen is still young, and it is difficult to get out of the palace because of Su Ri's residence, so there is such a theory. Xi Zhen came to He Xiong and Huang Gui's side and asked in a low voice, "Yesterday in Jingting Mountain, did you find any suspicious people?"

Hwang Gyu was at a loss, because his attention was completely on Zhu Yunwen to ensure safety. He Xiong smiled strangely, and said in a low voice: "I didn't find any suspicious people, but I did find suspicious things" and then looked at Guan Qing.

Xi Zhen pretended to be angry and said, "Old thing, the old problem can't be changed, right?" Having said that, his face was flushed.

"However, when we came back from Jingting Mountain, I vaguely met someone I knew on the way. He Xiong's face changed suddenly, and he became serious and said: "Laikezhuang has been monitoring us, I didn't say it, because I was afraid that a few of them would be worried." ”

Xi Zhen thought for a while and said: "That's it, let them follow, relax these days, it's okay, what they want is the treasure in the Cixi Cloud Mountain Map, and it won't be unfavorable to us for the time being." ”

He Xiong nodded in agreement. followed everyone, and Xi Zhen also followed with Guan Qing.

When you go to Xuancheng, you must choose rice paper, which is a customary rule. Everyone came to a rice paper shop in the south of the city, and the name of the store was "the first rhyme of romance". As soon as Qi Taifu entered the store, he called the shopkeeper to bring the high-quality rice paper, and the shopkeeper immediately took out a few pieces of paper, and after Qi Tai tried to write, he said: "Shopkeeper, you are not the best rice paper." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said: "Guest officer, don't you know, this world paper is in Xuancheng, and Xuancheng paper is in the shop." If the rice paper in the small shop is not the best rice paper, then you can't find a second one in Xuancheng. ”

Xi Zhen looked at Qi Tai and wrote: "Shop, I don't know if your paper is the best paper, but what I know is high-quality rice paper. ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest officer, you are an expert, and the paper shop is only a small shop that does not sell it." ”

Xi Zhen teased: "Why is this? Our young family is not a person who can't afford it." Xi Zhen pointed at Zhu Yunwen and said.

The shopkeeper said: "This paper is a tribute, not to mention the small shop, the entire store in Xuancheng is not allowed to sell, and the government has already written it." ”

Zhu Yunwen was very surprised and said: "As far as I know, even if this is a tribute, it is not all tribute, it is also seven points of tribute and three points of self-management, why is the entire Xuancheng not allowed to be sold now?"

The shopkeeper was also surprised, but he didn't know the depth of this person, so he said: "You know the market, this original state government is ten tribute seven, but since the state lord has been appointed to Xuanzhou for a thousand years, he has let all the shops in Xuancheng, the workshop must hand over all the tribute paper, not to buy and sell, the state government funded the opening of a paper shop, and the paper after the tribute can only be sold by this store." Other shops, once they disobey, will wear shackles and squat in the room, and at worst, they will be beaten with open skin and flesh, and half of their bodies will be lost. ”

Everyone was really shocked, and it was really hateful that the state government borrowed tribute paper to set up a project and disrupt business. I was afraid to listen to the words of the shopkeeper, so I visited several paper shops, all of which said so, and finally went to the official store in the south of the city and found out that it was implemented.

Zhu Yunwen was furious and said bluntly: "My Ming Dynasty, since the Holy Dynasty, has worked hard to rectify the rule of officials. Although this Xuancheng is far away from the Jingshi, it is only one step away, and the dark pole is so presumptuous. "I have to go to the state capital to inquire about the situation now.

Xi Zhen said: "Shaodong, the officials here, I'm afraid that they can't find out in a day or two, and they must be intertwined." In my opinion, it is better to order Mr. Qi to stay here and investigate under the banner of Shaodong. I'll wait for tonight to quietly go south to Ningbo Mansion. This will not delay the affairs of both sides, and secondly, it can also confuse and delay the people who follow us. In this way, the sooner we arrived at Ningbo Mansion, the sooner we found out the truth of the Cixi Yunshan map. You can do both. ”

Everyone felt that this method was feasible, and they nodded their heads in praise, and even Qi Tai himself said: "Shaodong, Xi Shaoxia's words are true, if you follow this policy, you will definitely be able to complete the two phases." The old man stayed in Xuancheng, firstly, he could find out the matter and report it to the court and the officials, and secondly, he could have more dealings with Mr. Xizhi, the so-called strategy of killing three birds with one stone. ”

Zhu Yunwen then took off the jade pendant he was carrying with him and gave it to Qi Tai and said: "This is feasible, so I will act according to Brother Xi's words, the teacher is in Xuancheng, and he must always pay attention to safety." Since there is a collusion between officials and businessmen here, there will inevitably be more illegal things. You hold this jade pendant, and no one dares to touch you. Please ask the teacher to find out this matter as soon as possible, report it to the imperial court, and I will also present a letter later, and you will take it to the capital at that time and explain it to the saint. ”

Everyone came out of the excitement and returned in defeat, all of them were annoyed. As soon as he returned to the official post, he saw Fang Xiaoru waiting at the official post. The crowd rejoiced.

As soon as Fang sat down, Fang Xiaoru looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, He Xiong Huang Gui saw this and found an excuse to go out to take care of the horses, and Guan Qing also went back to the room. Xi Zhen was about to leave, Zhu Yunwen called and said, "You really don't hide it, I have had eight friendships with Brother Xi. If the teacher has something, he can say it, and he doesn't have to carry my brother behind his back. In this way, although Xi Zhen was very unnatural, he had no choice but to sit down.

After a while, Fang Xiaoru took out an object from his arms. Everyone saw that it was a seven-character poem: the blood of the war has dried up over the years, and the fireworks are still half withered. Wuzhou Mountain is close to the clouds, long live the empty night and the moon is cold. The river is damp and the iron urn is passed, and there is a road to Jintan in Noda. Where is Emperor Xiaoliang's industry now, Beigu Qingqing is tired of looking.

Zhu Yunwen fell into deep thought after reading it. Huang Zicheng said: "Who is so bold and arrogant that he dares to write this poem?"

Fang Xiaoru said: "A monk is called Daoyan." ”

Xi Zhen was very calm and didn't seem to be surprised. I only heard Xi Zhen say to Fang Xiaoru: "He really went to find Mr." ”

Fang Xiaoru then told the finished things one by one, and everyone was naturally surprised when they heard it. Only Zhu Yunwen and Xi Zhen were silent.

After a while, Xi Zhen got up and looked at everyone and said, "In this way, I can probably know who this Daoyan is, he ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Yunwen's face full of pain, and he raised his head and said to Xi Zhen: "Big brother, stop, don't say any more." ”

Everyone was surprised, and Xi Zhen said loudly: "You and I have eight friends, and we are the emperor and the queen of heaven, and we share weal and woe." You defended them, but they didn't care, and they wanted to kill you, do you want to be pedantic?"

Huang Zicheng Qitai was even more surprised, only Fang Xiaoru smiled and said nothing. Xi Zhen said again: "That being the case, presumably Mr. Xizhi knows the clues, please tell Mr. Xizhi below, do I say it or not?"
