Confucianism is both a word and an organization.

But don't think of a group of Confucian scholars who read poetry and books as soon as you hear this word. As the so-called gentleman is not a party, if he is really the kind of person who reads poetry and books and has foresight, he will not form a Confucian party.

What really formed the Confucian Party was a group of dwarfs and people with physical disabilities.

The origin of Confucianism can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty and reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Wu.

Fortunately, the sword saint Dongfang Shuo at that time, after years of careful planning, finally drove them out of the court.

It's a pity that the saints get one in a thousand years, and the wicked are always visible.

Now, they have once again assembled at the imperial court, ready to hatch an even greater conspiracy.

On the ruins of Jiafu, Nangong Yan carefully observed. Sometimes he crouched down to look at the rubble on the ground, and sometimes he stroked the burnt half-withered tree.

Here, in fact, only the ruins are left, and after more than 20 days of unattended protection, coupled with the nostalgia of the surrounding neighbors for Jiafu, from time to time some usable things are brought back as souvenirs.

In today's Jiafu, it is difficult to find valuable, whether it is something or a clue.

But Nangong Yan was still searching everywhere very seriously.

Since entering Jiafu, Ah Kong has stood behind a broken wall, not saying a word.

Aman, on the other hand, always follows Nangong Yan's side, as if he wants to get first-hand information so that he can show off in front of his colleagues.

But after watching it for a long time, he only felt that Nangong Yan was turning over the soil, putting bricks, and pulling tree bark. Nothing else.

Just when Aman was bored and about to play chess with Zhou Gong, Nangong Yan suddenly ended all the searches, turned around and left.

Aman hurriedly followed and asked, "My lord, what have you found?"

Nangong Yan didn't answer, just left a smile full of meaning.

Next, Nangong Yan found the neighbors around Jiafu to learn some information.

The question he asked was nothing more than whether he had noticed any strange people before the crime, and whether anything strange had happened in those days.

After asking the question, Nangong Yan went to the dart game again.

In fact, Nangong Yan knew that in the dart game, there was nothing to be found.

The largest pawnshop in the city is, of course, opened by the Yongle Gang. Now, the dart game has been returned to them, but Zhu Changle let the old man of the dart game continue to watch the door, which means that the old man's words reassured them.

After a busy day, it was finally time for Aman to be most excited.

In Changxiao City, the highest status is none other than the Yongle Gang.

When successive officials in the city came here to take office, they all visited the Yongle Gang first, and then they could sit back and relax when the expiration date expired.

Therefore, it is a supreme honor to be able to go to the banquet of the Yongle Gang Master.

Aman was assigned by the prefect to Nangong Yan's side, so when Nangong Yan went to the banquet, he could naturally follow him. Even if he is standing at the door, he can brag about it with his colleagues. said that he entered the banquet and had a good time drinking with those masters of the rivers and lakes.

But in fact, after leaving the dart game, Nangong Yan let him leave.

The expression of disappointment on his face failed to exchange Nangong Yan's change of heart.

Looking at Aman's lost back as he gradually moved away, Akong said, "He really wants to go to the banquet with us." ”

"This man is a little slippery, a little greedy, a little bit of a fox. But overall, it's not bad, we can't hurt him. ”

"Do you think the Yongle Gang will let him go so easily?"

"He doesn't know anything, and there won't be much danger. ”

Aman, who was bored, was walking on the street alone, and suddenly his stomach growled.

Only then did he remember that in order to eat more at the dinner, he didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't eat much at noon.

Before he could go to the nearest steamed bun shop, Aman was stopped by the two.

The two men were tall and well-built, like two small mountains.

Seeing that the two of them were not good, Aman was just about to reveal his identity, but he felt that he was being held up by a sharp object behind him.

"Don't move. Someone behind him said, "Someone wants to see you." ”

"Who are you, and you know who I am. ”

"Lord Catcher, we know who you are, but don't worry, this trip will only be good for you, not harmful. The man behind him interrupted Aman's words and said.

The destination is a restaurant called Lou Manke.

This place, Aman knew, was the place where the public arrested the year-end party, or solved the case, and the prefect invited them to dinner.

It's not the most upscale restaurant in the city, but it's not something he can get in from time to time.

The person who saw him, in the innermost private room in the restaurant, was a man dressed as a scribe.

As soon as he saw Aman, the man walked over with a smile, took his hand, and said, "Lord Man, I finally invited you." ”

When he saw the person behind Aman put away the dagger, the man's face changed, and he only heard a few soft sounds in an instant, and then he heard the scribe scolding, saying: "You guys, what are you doing, I obviously asked you to invite Lord Man, how did you invite people over." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and said to Aman: "Lord Man, these subordinates are not sensible, you see how to deal with it, kill and scrape, whatever you want." ”

These few words scared Aman. The other party didn't do anything to himself, so he killed and scraped.

"No...... No, you let them go down. ”

"A few of you, hear it, there are a lot of adults, I don't care about you, so I don't want to get out of here. After speaking, the man smiled and said to Aman: "Lord Man, please sit down quickly, you're welcome." ”

"This gentleman, don't open your mouth full of adults, close your mouth full of adults, just call me Aman. ”

"In that case, you're welcome. I haven't introduced myself yet, but under Cai Wenzheng, he is a businessman. ”

For Cai Wenzheng to find him, Aman is very strange, he is a small catcher, how can he have anything to do with business. "Boss Cai, I don't know what you're looking for me to do?"

"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry, eat the vegetables first, eat and drink enough, let's talk again." ”

Wine is good wine, and food is good food.

The hungry Aman didn't care about anything at this time, let down his guard and shake off his fears, and devoted himself to the food in front of him.

After eating and drinking, the dinner plate was taken away, and the best fragrant tea was soaked, then Cai Wenzheng spoke: "Lord Man, I just said, I am a businessman, and I am here to do business." But there's been a lot going on here lately, and it's been a bit of a rough deal, so I'd like to hear something from you. ”

"I see, I don't know what you want to know?" As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to ask him for information, Aman immediately had a feeling that he knew everything.

"When I first entered the city, I found out that Brother Aman was assisting in the case by the side of the Six Doors Divine Catcher. Now that Lord Nangong has been invited to the banquet, why didn't Brother Man go?"

"This ......"

Without waiting for Aman to answer, Cai Wenzheng hurriedly replied: "I understand, I think it's a god from the capital, his eyes are above the top, and he looks down on Brother Aman." ”

When Aman heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't say a word, and drank all the tea in front of him.

"Brother Man, drink it slowly, there is good tea. As long as you tell me the clues that Nangong Yan found out during this time, there will be a lot of money in the future. When the time comes, no one will dare to look down on you. ”

Hearing this, Aman coughed up most of the second cup of tea he drank in one gulp.

This man is not a businessman.

This was what immediately came to Aman's mind.

Although he has no skills, he is also a person who has been an official for a few years. How can a businessman track down the details of a murder case.

"I'm a businessman. Cai Wenzheng stated again, "You tell me everything that Nangong Yan has found, and I will give you a large amount of money, which is the merchant's transaction." ”

As soon as he said this, Aman clenched his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Cai for your hospitality, but the younger brother still has important matters, so I will leave first." ”

But before the others left, they were pressed on the stool by Cai Wenzheng with one hand.

"The food and tea just now tasted pretty good. Being pressed by Cai Wenzheng like this, it was difficult for Aman to stand up again.

Although he was still smiling, a ruthless energy made Aman feel frightened again.

"You don't feel any different taste in the wine and tea just now?"

When he said this, Aman immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"You...... You poisoned the dish?"

"What did Lord Man say, I am a businessman, how could I be poisoned. But this food, wine, and tea will clash with each other. I can't say what the reaction will be. ”

"You...... What the hell do you want to do?"

"Lord Man is really a noble person, I have already said just now, I want to make a deal with you. I'll pay for it, and you will pay for it. ”

"What if this is known?"

"Don't worry, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. If you don't say it, I don't say it, who else will know. ”

"But if you do this, won't it be bad for Lord Nangong?"

"Master Man, now Nangong Yan is eating and drinking spicy food, since he doesn't care about you, why should you care about him. Besides, I'm just going to know some information, and we're not going to do anything else. ”

In Changxiao City, there are two luxurious buildings, one is a tea house and the other is a restaurant.

The two buildings are called "Lin Qiju" and "Xiangyue Pavilion" respectively.

The names of these two buildings are taken from the poems of the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiuling - who knows that the forest dwellers sit and sit happily when they hear the wind.

The five-storey building is located in the heart of the city.

At night, Xiangyue Pavilion is full of colorful lights, the cars and horses flow in front of the door, and the laughter and laughter in the building are endless.

Nangong Yan and the others were taken directly to the fifth floor by a small servant.

The area of the fifth floor is the same as that of the first floor, but it is only divided into five private rooms, and the space in this can be imagined.

As soon as I entered the room, the noise outside suddenly disappeared, and only the elegant sound played by the maid's orchestra in the hall remained.

As soon as he saw Nangong Yan coming, the hall suddenly fell silent.

I saw Zhu Changle leading a group of subordinates to greet him.
