......

When the heavy rain stopped, Chen Tang had already put on his book and began to go out.

The book box contained a pair of four treasures of the study, two sets of clothes for washing, and the heavenly sword box - in order to put it into the sword box, after entering the city, he specially found someone to order a new relatively large book box, and finally solved the problem of accommodating the sword box when traveling.

Now it comes in handy.

As for Su Ling, she stayed at home on Hanmo Street, she was a girl, and the evil naturally wouldn't attack her, so she was very safe.

The girl didn't know about the evil spirit, and wanted to follow Chen Tang back to Chenjiazhuang.

Chen Tang said: "Ah Ling, I'm going back to sign up for the Township Cultural Meeting." You have to stay in the city to take care of the house, and the melons, flowers, flowers and plants planted in the backyard, the chickens raised, and the prosperity of wealth all need to be taken care of. ”

Wangcai is a puppy that Su Ling bought back recently, and he is ready to raise it and take care of the home.

When Su Ling heard this, he had to give up.

Zhao Sanye originally wanted to arrange for Chen Tang to live temporarily in the Zhao family's courtyard outside the city, but Chen Tang declined. He was going back to attend the township meeting, but now he went out of the city, only two days in advance. There is an ancestral house on Chenjiazhuang, although it is dilapidated, but it can still live in people. Went back to stay and felt comfortable.

It's always my home. If you live in the Zhao family's courtyard, it will be somewhat parasitic under the fence.

Zhao Sanye was not reluctant, he called a carriage from the dart bureau, carried Chen Tang, and went out of the city before it was too late and the city gate was not closed.

Zhao Sanye and Zhan Yangchun still had something to do, so they could only send them to the city gate and wave goodbye.

Seeing the carriage walking away, Zhan Yangchun suddenly said: "Third master, I vaguely saw a pillow in Brother Chen's book. ”

Zhao Sanye said with a smile: "Get used to it, take the pillow to sleep elsewhere, and sleep peacefully." ”

This habit is very normal, many people travel, change places, are not used to sleeping in unfamiliar beds, tossing and turning. Prone to insomnia.

Zhan Yangchun sighed: "Hey, in recent years, the situation in the government and the opposition has been turbulent, and evil spirits have arisen frequently below us, which is really eventful." ”

Zhao Sanye has a deep understanding of this: "I only hope that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible...... By the way, Brother Zhan, have you ever successfully refined the painting skin you bought from Brother Chen? I can tell you first, if you want to sell it, you have to notify me first, and you have the final say on the price. ”

Zhan Yangchun said: "I haven't thought about it for personal use or for sale." ”

Zhao Sanye said: "You are an outsider, what do you want this painting skin to do? I am walking the rivers and lakes, sometimes I need to disguise myself and put on a painted skin, which is the most useful." Anyway, I'll leave it here, within 10,000 yuan, you make a price. ”

Zhan Yangchun nodded: "Don't worry, if I want to sell, I will definitely sell it to you first...... It's getting late, let's go back. ”

As he spoke, the two walked away side by side.

......

Panzhou Mansion, the Eastern District, the Yan family, a continuous house, covering an extremely wide area, is a real local family, generations of officials, the heyday is Yan Zhihai's grandfather's generation, officials to the Ministry of Shangshu, high power, protégés all over the world.

In this generation, the Yan family has declined, and the biggest official in the family is Yan Zhifeng, who serves as the Tongzhi of Panzhou.

Yan Zhihai was not admitted to the Jinshi, and by virtue of the relationship, he served as the magistrate of Qingshan County under the jurisdiction of Changzhou, and served for five years, and then resigned and returned to Panzhou and entered Panzhou College.

Yan Zhihai has been learning martial arts since he was a child, both civil and military, and he broke through the realm ten years ago and became a master of the inner family. The path he took, and the focus was quite different from that of his clan brother Yan Zhifeng, but the family deliberately arranged cultivation and assisted each other.

After today's assassination, the injured Yan Zhihai was quickly escorted home, causing a lot of chickens and dogs to jump.

His injuries were not serious, but the trouble was that the dagger that Esheng used to stab was poisoned. Fortunately, the poison was not violent, and it was sealed by Yan Zhihai with the strength of the inner family, so that the doctor could make an incision and drainage, detoxify, and apply medicine, so there would be no major problem.

Lying on the bed and resting for a while, at dusk, Yan Zhifeng rushed back, his face was gloomy, he came to the room, and said in a deep voice: "After the Yamen reconnaissance, there are preliminary results, and the assassin should be Etian." ”

Yan Zhihai snorted coldly: "I know that it's him, and it's only him, the fish that slipped through the net that day, and he still wants to come back to earn a fish and die in the net, he just doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." Now, the family is reunited. ”

Yan Zhifeng sighed: "This matter is about to make trouble in the academy, and now it is spreading all over the city, which is quite tricky. ”

Yan Zhihai said: "Don't worry, I will resign as dean tomorrow and leave Panzhou." ”

Yan Zhifeng nodded: "That's fine, stay out of the limelight for the time being." You've been clamoring for a long time to go out and relax. When that's over, I'll have someone pick you up and get you in a better place. ”

This is all a routine in officialdom, as long as there are backers and connections, even if it has gone through ups and downs, it will never fall.

While the two brothers were talking, a man came over and said that he had something important to say.

"What?"

After listening to the report, Yan Zhifeng stood up with a sigh: "The willow trees around the lake shore are full of white lanterns, all of which have the word 'dian' written on them?"

The man said: "The four servants who stayed behind were all dead, and they were disemboweled, as if they had been devoured by a ferocious beast, and it was very miserable. ”

Yan Zhihai's face turned pale: "Evil, this is an omen of evil." ”

Hearing the word "evil", the muscles on Yan Zhifeng's face jumped: "It's really a hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff." ”

Yan Zhihai looked at him: "Zhifeng, please have nine doors." ”

Yan Zhifeng's body shook slightly, and he muttered: "This matter has to be considered in the long run. ”

In the Panzhou Mansion, the biggest official is, of course, Zhizhou, and then Tongzhi. But no matter what, if there is an evil in the territory under its jurisdiction, it is an ominous thing, and if it alarms the imperial court, its political achievements will be greatly reduced, and it will even be transferred and dismissed. Therefore, when there is an accident at the local level, the first thing the local officials have to do is to lock it down, shut down the people, and prevent it from spreading, and then start to solve the problem.

Local affairs, local handling, can be pressed, can be caressed, in this way, the official hat can be worn steadily, wear for a long time.

There are only some things that can't be covered and make a big fuss, so they will go to the court.

Yan Zhihai was well versed in the doorway, knew Yan Zhifeng's concerns, thought for a while, and said, "I'll leave the city now." ”

Yan Zhifeng waited for him to say: "Okay, I'll let people arrange it." ”

Whether it is an assassin or an evil spirit, they want to take revenge, and the target is on Yan Zhihai, as long as Yan Zhihai leaves Panzhou, then the other party will naturally follow. In this way, the situation in Panzhou can be stabilized.

It's not that Yan Zhihai's move is sacrificing the ego and taking the overall situation into account. It's that he caused this matter in the first place, and the family has done a lot for him, and Yan Zhihai should also come forward and repay him.

Besides, with his skills, even if he goes out of the city, he has a great chance to save his body, and he will not necessarily be sacrificed.

Yan Zhihai's eyes were gloomy: Are you evil? Hehe, when you are born, you cry out in vain, and when you die, what can you do to me?
