The next day, Song Xun received an edict from the emperor to find out about Gao Ai. Yesterday, I talked to Sun Fu, I thought that Gao Ai's thing was instructed by the imperial court, but now it seems that there is no way to talk about it.

Since the emperor wants to investigate, it is a matter of the face of the court, and it is necessary to re-investigate and handle it lightly, thinking that this case is a poisonous needle handed to him by the emperor, and he must be accepted, and he cannot be taken with his bare hands. Song Xun had a plan in his heart, got up and took people to Gaofu.

"Big lady, the people from Kaifeng Mansion are here. Wu Neizhi reported.

Liu Lan didn't sleep well last night, she only felt that her heart was not steady, and she went to the ancestral hall to recite the Buddha and chant for a while at night, and then fell asleep. The people who just came to the Internal Affairs Office in Chen Shi talked about Gao Ai's future, and the people from Kaifeng Mansion came again, and Liu Lan was busy and had time to rub the bamboo hole.

"Your Excellency is also for my lord's business. ”

"Madame's Day condolences. If this matter is not investigated, the lower officials will feel guilty. ”

In front of him, Liu Lan's face was gloomy, her sideburns were white after thirty years, and she was sitting in the front hall wearing a colored embroidered shirt.

"The day before yesterday, my mother's family held a banquet, the lord and the eldest son returned at night, and my daughter and I returned at noon yesterday because of something. I didn't learn about it until then, and I didn't know a lot of the inside story. ”

Song Xun looked at Liu Lan, who was exhausted in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Sun Zhutou inquired about his eldest son, and Zhou went to ask his subordinates. ”

Sun Fu and Zhou He took the orders one by one, and Song Xun said to Liu Lan: "Please also ask Madame for permission, and let the officials look around." ”

Liu Lan nodded, gave the maid a look, and the maid led Song Xun to the court.

"It's your handiwork. ”

On the side of the Gao Mansion, Feng Ci wanted to get a glimpse of Song Xun's methods, but he was bumped into by Shiqiu, who was sent to check the signs of the fight.

The words that people were aware of were not panicked, but still looked at the movements inside, and said unhurriedly: "I knew it was you as soon as I heard it, so for the sake of me not hiding, don't arrest me." He smiled.

"The people in the martial arts are now like gentlemen on the beams. ”

Feng Ci turned around, climbed down from the wall, and made a disgusted look: "It is the words of this new prefect that are unbearable, so that your words are as ugly as Qiao Yansheng." ”

Shiqiu has a black shirt with hair and black shirts, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, cold and arrogant by nature, and it is rumored that he is extraordinary in skills and martial arts.

After Feng Ci turned over, the two stood side by side outside the courtyard wall, Shi Qiu looked at Feng Ci's eyes with his arms around his chest, thinking about the last time he had not seen each other in the palace for a long time, and then looked at the pair of eyes that seemed to have the beauty of the world, and the face was condensed in the autumn water, such a beautiful face is indeed never tired of seeing, if you can apply a little powder......

Shi Qiu unconsciously saw that he was in a trance, and looked back in surprise and coughed lightly.

When he came back to his senses, Shi Qiu was a little ashamed, lowered his head and said, "You are quite interested in this prefect. ”

"No, this person is square in appearance and has a bit of wisdom, and there is still something to participate in the DPRK's move. ”

If you can't cooperate, you will become a fierce enemy in the future. Feng Ci swallowed half a sentence.

Shi Qiu turned around and leaned against the wall, raised his head slightly and sighed: "I am finally doing things for the imperial court, you are for yourself, now that you have changed the prefect, you must no longer be sloppy and responsible as before." This farewell, I will not indulge you when we meet again. ”

Feng Ci looked at the Shen Yuan Sword in his hand and pulled out a smile, "It's a pity that your martial arts sold the imperial court." ”

Shiqiu opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, only looked at the clouds in the sky as if they were overcast for three minutes.

At noon, Song Xun took the three of them back to Kaifeng Mansion, and after lunch, he ordered Cui Yuan, the main bookkeeper of the house, to record the case, and straightened out the case before and after.

first went to inquire about Gao Rongce's Sun Fu.

According to the words of the eldest son Gao Rongce, Gao Ao has not come out of the room since he returned to the house with Gao Ao the night before, and Gao Rongce has not seen Gao Ao in the backyard Chenwu yesterday morning, but thought he had gone to the early dynasty. ”

Later, Zhou He said: "Wu Shi said that the government recruited a group of people a few days ago, and there was one less person when he ordered people yesterday, and he was called Yan Sheng. The humble position also asked the adoptive mother of the house, saying that Gao Ai did not have breakfast, and the doorman did not see Gao Ai and Yan Sheng leave the house. ”

At the end, Shiqiu said: "There is no sign of fighting anywhere in the house. ”

Song Xun thought for a moment, "Could it be a chess player?"

Zhou He heard the word "chess player" and hurriedly went to see Sun Fu, who gave a flustered and mixed look of grievance.

Zhou He continued: "Returning to the side chess is the flow of the rivers and lakes, and it should not be involved in the affairs of the imperial court." Besides, Gao Ai has no enemies, so I want to come ......"

"Arrest Yan Sheng, and write a document. Song Xun said.

Before then, there were notices everywhere in Kaifeng City, Feng Ci took a look around and returned to the teahouse, Qi Qi and Qiao Yansheng were in a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Feng Ci went in and poured a mouthful of Qianrichun on the table, and said with a smile: "I drew a few human looks for Qiao Yansheng." ”

Qiao Yansheng didn't have a good face as always, but he couldn't suppress his anger with such a bloody face, and he had to work with Feng Ci every day with such a casual and sharp tooth, and his face was not much better.

They joked differently, and said solemnly: "Do you have anything to gain when you go to Gaofu?"

"It's nothing, the new prefect checked carefully, and I was hit by the stone mound again. ”

Qiao Yansheng's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous, "He followed the new prefect?"

Feng Ci nodded.

You must know that Shiqiu was famous in the rivers and lakes back then, and even today it is a first-class master.

Thirteen years ago, Xiangzhou, near Kaifeng, had two swordsmanship famous all over the world - Yunmen and Qianzizong. Shiqiu was exceptionally accepted as a disciple by the master of Yunmen because of his excellent roots, and he became a disciple of the foreign surname five years ago, and his swordsmanship was superb, and he became famous in the rivers and lakes for a while.

Later, he met Li Chen, and because Li Chen treated him with kindness, he followed Li Chen to handle the case, and now he has changed the prefect, so he should resign.

"According to the ability of Shiqiu, you can be happy in the rivers and lakes, and the sword will go in all directions. Qiao Yansheng sighed.

Feng Ci sighed: "I just said it's a pity, the career of the official depends on the family background and the entanglement of interests, and the rivers and lakes rely on friends and generosity, he really shouldn't be used by the court." ”

"Why didn't you persuade a few more words to turn around?"

"Actually, I understand it, needless to say. He continued.

Feng Ci slowly poured a glass of wine, she knew that Qiao Yansheng had fought with Shiqiu before, and she admired Shiqiu quite a lot, but now she couldn't help but regret it, plus Qiao Yansheng was sometimes sad and sad, sometimes passionate and indignant, he was really an emotional person, and he was full of emotion, so he didn't say anything for a while, just smiled.

Qiao Yansheng nodded helplessly, and saluted with Feng Ci and the two of them, and the pavilion was quiet for a moment.

After a while, when Qiao Yansheng finally felt that he could get out of his grief, he returned to Gao Ai and said: "Did you really tell that doorman Haosheng? I still felt that you were a trustworthy person before, but until three months ago, I knew that it was a big mistake. ”

Seeing that Qiao Yansheng's consciousness had returned, Feng Ci recalled his words that when she returned to Gaofu for the second time to deliver the letter to the doorman, she said to the doorman: "You must not say a word about the letter I delivered a few days ago and today, otherwise I will kill you." He gestured to his neck again, "You're going to deliver this letter to the Bachelor, understand?" the doorman nodded like garlic.

Recalling this, Feng Ci said disdainfully: "You are at ease, the doorman is young, just scare two words." ”

Qiao Yansheng was still skeptical, and drank another glass.

He only watched silently on the side, and ordered Xiao Er to add another pot of wine.

It's still this nameless alley, Qiantan looked for the painting on the paper for a long time, and finally found this Moqi teahouse. Not to mention that the alley is a little biased, the teahouse is carved and painted, and there is a lot of trouble.

"Is there a girl here who is famous as 'Feng Ci'?" asked Qiantan to take the wine to the second child who was going to send it to the private room.

Xiao Er saw this man's apricot eyes and thin lips, a blue robe, and an elegant gesture, maybe he was a celebrity.

The people upstairs were also stunned when they heard this, and took a look at it quietly, isn't this the staff of King Zhao Kanchu.

Zhao Kanchu is the youngest brother of the emperor Zhao Yi of the current dynasty, and he is two years away from a weak crown, both civil and military, but he is not very young and vigorous, and the city government in his heart is unfathomable, and his demeanor is like a jade tree in the wind. Since Qiantan came to the palace of King Sumire, Zhao Kanchu showed his edge slightly in the court, and Zhao Yi lost the hearts of the people because of the centralization of power, which was an opportunity for Zhao Kanchu to take advantage of, and it led to chaos in the court.

Qiantan Zhao Kan Chu for a year, earlier in Xiangzhou and Yunmen as famous as the Jianghu School of Thousand Character Sect, later the situation changed, the imperial power was established, and when the side chess was established in Kaifeng as the solid foundation, many Jianghu schools gradually disappeared, and the thousand sect masters traveled all over the world after scattering the people, and Qiantan was accepted as a doorman in Kaifeng because of the conspiracy, and after several tosses, he was Zhao Kanchu's staff a few years ago.

Without waiting for Xiao Er to ask for his name, Feng Ci shouted in the private room: "I'm tired of picking up wine." ”

This move surprised Qiao Yansheng and the others, and they couldn't think of any medicine sold in her gourd.

Qiantan took the wine in the small second-hand room, walked to the private room, and poured it for the three of them in turn, and the four of them drank it together with their hearts.

"Why, King Sumire is also concerned about Gao Oi?" asked Feng Ci.

"The girl shows off her wisdom, and the contemptible people come to ask for advice. ”

Qiao Yansheng sneered, and drew a circle on the bowl with his index finger, "I've been detaining people for more than two months, so don't flatter here." Glancing at Qiantan's increasingly gloomy face, he said, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I haven't seen many tricks of hypocrisy and wrongdoing, if the words conflict, I hope to forgive me." ”

Qian Tan was also bent to welcome, and he was so unwelcome, and it was hard to say that he had some grievances in his heart, and he caught a glimpse of the cold-faced man, and almost forgot his intention, so he had to look at the resignation and continued: "The matter of the high bachelor, it should be someone to trust him." ”

Although Qiao Yansheng didn't like to listen to what he said, he was inevitably a little happy when he heard it at this time, and he smiled and said: "Naturally, the bureau will not do loss-making business. ”

"This matter is inconclusive, and I privately think that Miss Feng wants to ...... Borrow a knife to kill. Qian Tan stared at Fengci when he said the last four words, but he didn't see the slightest clue in Fengci's eyes.

"Your Excellency's resourcefulness is still inconclusive, and how I can conclude it depends on how the new prefect investigates the case. ”

After listening to the words of the confession, Qiantan scrutinized, although Gao Ai is a close confidant of the emperor, he does not have much real power, and in the future, at most the officials will worship the prince and the prince, who can benefit from this death?

Although King Jin has recently had a storm in the court, the emperor can't bear him for a long time, but now the weight is Zhao Huai, the king of Yongjun, in addition to the prime minister Zhang Pusan's envoy Wang Qin and other important members of the court, the most aware of the emperor's mind is the Hanlin Academy scholar Gao Ai, so think about who can benefit, it seems that only King Jin and King Yongjun. Besides, the new prefect in Fengci's mouth, if he finds out what Gui Bianqi did, he will find the enemy by touching the melon, and then he will ......

Did he really dare to investigate King Sumire? Why did the emperor give such instructions? Is he really just trying to save face for the Taishifu? If he can't find out anything, wouldn't this effort be wasted?

Feng Ci looked at Qian Tan's increasingly complicated expression, and laughed softly: "Don't forget that Li Chen resigned." ”

This sentence did not wake up Qiantan, and even made him fall into a fog.

Feng Ci asked again: "Dare to ask who gave the news of the Gao Mansion to the Jin Wang's Mansion?"

Qian Tan hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully.

"The man of the book. ”

Feng Ci nodded, "I can't say more, greet King Sumire for me." ”

After Qiantan retreated, Qiao Yansheng still put on a disgusted attitude: "What are you going to do with him." ”

"Knowing a little bit about something is more grinding than not knowing anything. ”

Slowly add another lamp.
