Chapter 277: Another Year to Catch the Exam (1)
Wang Qinruo withdrew from the imperial study and went directly back to his mansion, and his son-in-law Xie Jinwu was already waiting in the lobby. Seeing Wang Qinruo's arrival, Xie Jinwu hurriedly greeted him and said, "Father-in-law, Kou Lao'er really found the Linglong treasure box?"
Wang Qinruo went to the lobby, took a sip of tea, and said, "Look at Your Majesty's expression, there shouldn't be!"
"Are all the rumors out there fake?" Xie Jinwu said.
Wang Qinruo said: "Do you think it's true?"
Xie Jinwu smiled and said, "Father-in-law has the final say." ”
Wang Qinruo was silent for a while, and then spoke: "From the moment Bai Zhiyang followed me, I knew that he had a purpose, and today he died for Kou Zhun, and only then did he know that he was Kou Zhun's person. ”
"No matter who he is, he is now a dead man! This is the end of going against his father-in-law!" Xie Jinwu said.
Wang Qinruo said: "The wine boy is a secret chess piece on the rivers and lakes, although Bai Zhiyang died, he exposed the identity of the wine boy, and now he died under Shen Guhong's arrow, and our losses are not small!"
"This Shen Guhong is against us everywhere, we have to find a way to get rid of him!" Xie Jinwu said.
"He is in the limelight at the moment, and he has His Majesty's gold medal for avoiding death, you had better manage your subordinates, don't act rashly, lest you be caught, and I won't be able to protect you at that time!" Wang Qinruo said.
Xie Jinwu listened, but said, "Why don't you let the people of the ghost-faced Yama take action?"
"He's been quiet lately, could it be that he knows that Kou Zhun hasn't found the Linglong Treasure Box at all?" Wang Qinruo said suspiciously.
"It must be like this, they must be secretly looking for the treasure box!" Xie Jinwu said.
Wang Qinruo said leisurely: "In this world, if there is anyone who wants to find the treasure box the most, except for Your Majesty, it must be this ghost-faced Yama." ”
"Why did my father-in-law say this?" Xie Jinwu was also a fox, and he had already seen that Wang Qinruo seemed to know some of the details of the ghost-faced Yama.
Wang Qinruo didn't answer him again, but just picked up the teacup and drank tea again.
In the evening, Kou Zhun came out of the palace, and Shen Guhong naturally guessed Zhao Heng's reaction, but he didn't ask anything. It was Ouyang Han, but he asked, "My lord, how is it?"
Kou Zhun said: "Your Majesty wants me to secretly send someone to find the Linglong Treasure Box, you start to arrange it!"
"Could it be that a broken box is really so important?" For the sake of the exquisite treasure box, many people have died, and Ouyang Han naturally has a grudge.
Kou Zhun Zhengse said: "Yes, that box is related to the people of the world, the people of Li, and it is extremely important!"
Ouyang Han lowered his head and said no more. Kou Zhun knew that Ouyang Han had understood the meaning of his words, and he didn't say anything more at the moment.
"You seem to have guessed that Your Majesty would let me secretly find the Linglong Treasure Box!" Kou Zhun glanced at Shen Guhong and said.
Shen Guhong said: "Your Majesty's mind is not difficult to guess, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing for this task to fall on an adult!"
"How can you see it?" Kou Zhun knew that Zhao Heng asked him to secretly find the Linglong Treasure Box, which was his trust in him, he didn't expect Shen Guhong to think like this.
Shen Guhong said: "Master Kou thinks, is it the Ghost Face Yama who found the Ling Treasure Box first, or Ouyang Han and them?"
When Kou Zhun heard this, his face couldn't help but change a few times, and said, "You mean that Ghost Face Yama has been looking for the Linglong Treasure Box for a long time?"
Shen Guhong nodded: "Not bad!"
Kou Zhun was silent for a while, his expression was straight, and he said: "Just do your best, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, everything depends on the will of heaven!"
Shen Guhong knew that Kou Zhun was not a person who believed in ghosts and gods and believed in the destiny of heaven, but sometimes, some faith might be able to give him great courage. At this time, Kou Zhun needed courage, and Ouyang Han and they also needed it.
"I believe in evil and don't suppress righteousness!" Shen Guhong suddenly laughed, but when he said this, he didn't even believe much in himself, but when it fell on Kou Zhun's ears, it was different. At that moment, Kou Zhun's eyes flashed, and he let out a hearty laugh, and said, "Yes, evil does not prevail over good!"
Shen Guhong suddenly understood what kind of belief supported people like Kou Zhun to do things, so that they were willing to sacrifice their lives. In any case, a person like Kou Zhun who serves the country and the people and worries about the world is worthy of respect. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was not alone in dealing with Ghost Face Yama, but there were thousands of ordinary people behind him who supported him. He had never been so confident as he was now, and perhaps, it would only take time to destroy the Yama Temple.
"If you don't dislike it, you can live in my house in the future!" Kou Zhun said again.
Although Shen Guhong and Mi Fang have some money in their hands, they are naturally willing to live in a free place, and besides, living here, maybe they can help Kou Zhun a little bit, so they smiled and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
"You kid, you're much more refreshing than Mo Qingfeng!" Kou Zhun said with a smile.
Shen Guhong smiled: "My lord, is this praising me or hurting me?"
Kou Zhun said: "It depends on how you look at it. ”
Shen Guhong said: "Just praise me as an adult, you can arrange it, where do I live with Mi Fang?"
Kou Zhun was stunned again, it was the first time he had met someone like Shen Guhong who asked him to arrange a room, since he became an official, whether it was the people around him or the people outside, they all respected him, only Shen Guhong, who didn't seem to have too many restraints. It's a novel feeling, and Kou Zhun likes it very much. It was the house where Shen Guhong and the two lived in it, and he actually arranged it himself, which made the people in Kou Mansion a little unresponsive.
The three of them walked into a secluded courtyard in the east, which was full of flowers and plants of various colors, but the most were orchids. Kou Zhun said: "This orchid garden is for you to live in, if you want anything, you can directly order the people in the house, and they will send it!"
Shen Guhong said with a smile: "It's impossible to be an official in this life, and now you have a little bit of nobility as an adult, live in your housekeeper's mansion, and go out and say that you don't know how many people will envy you to death!"
"Good boy, you're endless, you're here to entertain the old man!" Kou Zhun scolded with a smile and left.
Mi Fang walked around the courtyard and said, "This orchid garden is indeed very good. ”
"When the prime minister's mansion, can it be bad?" Shen Guhong rolled his eyes.
Mi Fang pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly felt a burst of fragrance coming, she bent down to take a look, but saw that a pot of Chunlan had already opened.
"Ah, although this flower is not big, I didn't expect this fragrance to be very strong!" Mi Fang lifted the orchid pot and looked at it carefully.
Shen Guhong said: "This orchid is not the best, the best is fragrant but not strong, and it will not disperse for a long time." ”
"I don't know how to pretend to understand!" Mi Fang smiled.
Shen Guhong said: "Don't debunk it, it's so embarrassing!"
Mi Fang smiled: "Your skin is already a few inches thick, will it be embarrassing?"
Shen Guhong smiled: "Have you measured, otherwise how would you know?"
Mi Fang said: "I haven't measured it, but I guess it's less!"
The two talked and laughed for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest. To be honest, it's absolutely false to say that you are not tired all the way. They slept together and did not wake up until the early morning of the next day.
Shen Guhong saw that Mi Fang was still lying on the bed, so he came out of the yard, asked for directions, rushed to the kitchen, brought some food from it, and returned to the yard.
"You're not hungry?" Shen Guhong didn't eat, and couldn't help asking.
Mi Fang said: "I haven't washed my face yet!"
Shen Guhong was stunned for a moment, and said, "For so many days, I seem to have forgotten what is going on with washing my face!" Mi Fangbai glanced at him, put on his clothes, got out of bed and stretched, and said, "I want to change back into women's clothes today, so naturally I have to freshen up!"
After washing, Mi Fang changed back into women's clothes, and Shen Guhong also changed into clothes, the two came to the street, and after walking for a while, Shen Guhong suddenly found a familiar figure, but it belonged to Li Jinyan.
Seeing Li Jinyan, Shen Guhong couldn't help but think of Qinghan's Wutong Residence, and the two walked around the street for a while, then walked into an alley and came to the front of Wutong House. The title deed here belongs to Qinghan, and since Qinghan's death, it has become an uninhabited deserted house. But to Shen Guhong's surprise, the front of the house here was cleaned very cleanly.
"Was it swept by Li Jinyan?" Shen Guhong pushed open the door of Wutong Residence, and the inside was also very clean, and those things that had been damaged by the Great War had also been renovated, and the entire house was spotlessly clean. Shen Guhong hadn't really entered the room yet, and at that moment he and Mi Fang walked along the path planted with sycamores, bypassing the lobby in front of them, and came to a pavilion inside.
"Qinghan set up an ambush here, and almost killed the ghost-faced Yama!" Shen Guhong said to Mi Fang.
Mi Fang pushed open the door of the room, and saw that there were several bookshelves inside. Shen Guhong was also very curious about what books Qinghan had hidden here, so he and Mi Fang walked into the bookshelf and opened it to see that what was placed here was not a classic, but a record about the Yama Hall that Qinghan had sorted out over the years.
"All these years, this girl has been investigating the Yama Palace?" Shen Guhong muttered to himself in his heart, but at the same time, he was also extremely shocked, in these recorded notes, he knew a lot of things about the Yama Palace that he didn't know before.
Shen Guhong let go one by one, and read all the records stacked on it, but the last one was about Li Jinyan and Li Ruolan. It turned out that when Qinghan investigated the identity of the ghost-faced Yama, he had found Li Ruolan and Li Jinyan, but by mistake, he and Li Jinyan became friends for the year.
"Li Jinyan is the descendant of Empress Li?" Shen Guhong looked at the record above, this is what really surprised him, recalling Li Ruolan's words at the moment, no wonder Li Ruolan was so arrogant when she talked about Li Jinyan's identity.
"Empress Li died of Emperor Taizong's poisonous wine, and there are still descendants of the Li family, which means that the descendants of the Li family may also want to take revenge, but Li Ruolan obviously hopes that Li Jinyan will be an ordinary person, so she has given up revenge. Shen Guhong couldn't help but mutter. Mi Fang, who was standing on the side, listened to Shen Guhong talking to himself, and also showed a shocked expression.
"Zhuang Mei'er is also a descendant of the Li family!" Shen Guhong was really shocked this time, he originally thought that Zhuang Mei'er was just the lover of the ghost-faced Yama, but when he saw Qinghan's record, he knew Zhuang Mei'er's true identity.
