After Shangguan Yunying and Shangguan Ying left the Jade Phoenix Terrace, they chatted as they walked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shangguan Ying helped the rosewood box containing the jade flute in the armrest, and said, "Childe, this Chu member is really a bold person, and he will give us such a valuable gift when we meet." ”

Shangguan Yunying pondered for a long time and said: "Chu Yuan is generous and arrogant when he goes out, and he can run such a big business at a young age, which is admirable. And he speaks well, has elegant manners, and is a person of status. It's just that I think he runs this Jade Phoenix Terrace, which doesn't seem to be very consistent with his character. ”

Shangguan Ying blinked and said, "Childe, you also said, My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good." This Chu member is also a man, and it is normal for a woman to like beauty. As for why he runs this Jade Phoenix Terrace, it is unknown. ”

Shangguan Yunying shook his head and said, "In my opinion, this Chu Yuanwai doesn't look like a person who is nostalgic for fireworks and willow alleys all day long. He behaved decently, without any debauchery. And although Miss Zhao has some utilitarian intentions, she is not the kind of vulgar fan who casually lets men take advantage. Looking at the look on her talking to Chu Yuanwai, it was very subtle. So, I'm weird. ”

Shangguan Ying stuck out his tongue and said, "Young Master, are you tired?" Think about what other people do so much, and what does it have to do with us. Let's hurry back to rest, and tomorrow we will have a good visit to this Yangzhou city. ”

Shangguan Yunying smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Yes, I am indeed a bit of a philistine. ”

The two walked to the door of the Yuelai Inn and couldn't help but be stunned.

At this time, two people walked on the opposite side, also a little stunned.

The people who came were Zhuge Qinglin and Zhuge Yue. Although everyone seemed to be chatting happily in the small building of Yuhuangtai just now, and Shangguan Yunying and Zhuge Qinglin also played a song together. But Shangguan Yunying and Zhuge Qinglin only had a strong resonance with the skills of both sides, and they felt a little sympathetic to each other. They did not forget the arguments of the day. No matter how polite they behaved, seeing each other like this, there were still ripples in the hearts of both parties, and they were extremely embarrassed.

Shangguan Yunying tried her best to restrain her uneven mood, bowed to Zhuge Qinglin, did not speak, and turned around and walked into the inn.

Shangguan Ying glanced at Zhuge Yue with disdain, and also turned around and walked into the inn.

Zhuge Yue carried the piano box on his back, watched Brother Shangguan enter the inn, became angry, and said, "Look at the virtue of that Shangguan shadow." That Shangguan Gongzi is not very good. When I watched him blow the flute just now, I thought it was very elegant. I don't even want to say a word when we meet at this time. Look at their sour breath, as if we owe him money. ”

Zhuge Qinglin looked at Shangguan Yunying's back and said lightly: "We are just one side, and we will part ways in a few days, so why bother." ”

In the back hall of the Jin Mansion in the south of Yangzhou City, Cheng Haoran stood in front of the young man, reporting what had happened in recent days.

"Master, Murong Jielie has been coming to Yangzhou City for many days. Not long ago, he also visited Governor Cheng and Master Bokeshan, presumably asking the two to assist in investigating Guo Yan's case. ”

The young man gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly: "Murong Jielie has just arrived in Yangzhou City. I'm afraid it's hard to figure out for a while. However, as a first-class guard in front of the current saint, he will definitely find out that this murderer should still be in Yangzhou City. The Guo family's case will be left to him first, how about the things I asked you to inquire about?"

Cheng Haoran frowned, and said carefully: "I heard that Tong Guowei, the lord of the middle hall of the capital, participated in Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian in front of the saint, and took out important evidence, accusing the two of selling official salt privately, filling their own pockets, and embezzling a large amount of silver taels. The Holy One was furious and wanted to dismiss these two people and investigate them. ”

The young man smiled slightly and said, "This Tong Guowei is a person from Babeile, while Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian are the prince's door. Tong Guowei impeached Bokeshan and Cheng Qian, thinking that Babeile was about to make a move. I'm going to see how this one goes. ”

Just after May, an edict came from the capital: Bo Keshan, Cheng Qian corrupted the law, and embezzled the salt tax. Now the two people are removed from the top and quickly escorted to the Criminal Department pending trial. Liu Mingxi, the prefect of Jinan, was honest and honest, scrupulously committed to his duties, and made outstanding achievements, and was promoted to Jiangsu Daotai and went to his post immediately. Liu Jingxuan, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, loves the people like a son, is diligent in agriculture, attaches great importance to teaching, has outstanding achievements, and is promoted to the prefect of Yangzhou, and can go to work. Chin!"

When the news reached Gaoyou County, the people of Gaoyou County were thunderous. All the squires and rich men in Gaoyou County came to Gaoyou County to preach congratulations to Liu Jing, the magistrate of Gaoyou County. But when people rushed into the county office, they found that Liu Jingxuan had already left.

Liu Jingxuan was on his way to Yangzhou City at this time.

Master Xiao Rang followed behind him.

The two of them rode one by one, and walked side by side.

At this time, Liu Jingxuan was proud of the spring breeze, but he was not in a hurry. He still remembered the last few times he rushed to Yangzhou City, as if it was just yesterday. He didn't expect that he would be promoted to the prefect of Yangzhou, and a few days ago he was worried about Guo Yan's death, worried that his career would end. This time, he took Xiao Rang and Nangong Huangyun away. It's just that Nangong Huangyun is still investigating the case outside, so he left a letter for him in the county yamen room.

Master Xiao Rang looked at Liu Jingxuan and said, "My lord, there is no one like you to go." I just received the decree in the morning and left in the afternoon, which was too hasty. ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled at Xiao Rang and said: "In Gaoyou for three years, I don't have any belongings, and all my net worth is on my back." Besides, once you leave, the villagers will definitely send it. I can't bear to think that they will break the bank. ”

Xiao Rang shook his head and said, "When you come to Yangzhou Mansion, there will be no one to treat and give gifts." I'm afraid there will be more. ”

Liu Jingxuan smiled and said: "I have my own solution to this problem. ”

The news of Liu Jingxuan's promotion to the prefect of Yangzhou had already reached Yangzhou City before the holy decree left the capital. The young son of the Seongnam Jin Mansion was a little surprised by Yoo Kyung-hun's promotion. And Chu Yuanwai of Yuhuangtai is also playing the small abacus of the new prefect who is about to take office.

In the evening of that day, Chu Jinglian came to Yuhuangtai again.

Zhao Yushan, dressed in a bright red dress, had been waiting in the small building in the backyard of the Jade Emperor Terrace for a long time.

Chu Jinglian nodded to Zhao Yushan, which was regarded as a courtesy, and then asked, "How did I let you find out?"

Zhao Yushan handed the fragrant tea that had already been brewed to Chu Jinglian with both hands, and then said: "Zhuge Qinglin and Zhuge Yue have been playing near Yangzhou for the past few days, and they have not been to any people's houses as guests. The same goes for Shangguan Yunying and Shangguan Ying. There was nothing special to hear from their conversations. However, it is reported that they will soon leave the city of Yangzhou. Zhou Zijian wandered not far from Zhuge Qinglin's side every day. It can be seen that this Brother Zhou is still quite interested in Zhuge Qinglin. ”

Chu Jinglian nodded and said, "Since they are leaving, then we don't have to bother, so as not to cause trouble." There is no need to send someone to check again in the future. Then Liu Jingxuan, how did you find out?"

Zhao Yushan said lightly: "This Liu Jingxuan is twenty-nine years old and comes from a poor family. When he was ten years old, his parents died early, and he was raised by his grandfather since he was a child. He has been living in the Northeast, and after his grandfather passed away, he traveled all over the world. In the forty years of Kangxi, he ended his travels, won the fame, and won a Jinshi top three and first. Since there was no way, he was sent to Gaoyou to become a magistrate. He is still unmarried. ”

Chu Jinglian was puzzled and said: "Although this Liu Jingxuan's official rank is not big, his age is not small, why is he still unmarried." Hasn't anyone ever mentioned kissing?"

Zhao Yushan's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Of course I mentioned it." I heard that the threshold of Liu Jingxuan's county government was about to be kicked by the matchmaker, but Liu Jingxuan politely declined. I expected that Liu Jingxuan must be a high-minded and arrogant person, how could an ordinary girl get into his eyes. And he came from a poor background, and the famous family may not look down on him. Outside of Chu, don't you have a family?"

Chu Jinglian shook his head and said, "Don't you know me yet." I have unpaid ambitions, how can I be in the mood to start a family. By the way, does this Liu Jingxuan have any hobbies?"

Zhao Yushan pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Coincidentally, I heard that he is not greedy for money, and he is not lustful. And he is not a drinker, he does not lie, and he has no enemies. ”

Chu Jinglian opened the folding fan in his hand with a "bang", and said disdainfully: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing." I don't believe he jumped out of a pile of rocks, without a single flaw. ”

Zhao Yushan stared at Chu Jinglian with both eyes, and asked softly, "Do you want to test him?"

Chu Jinglian smiled faintly and said, "Why not test it?" After speaking, he turned around and walked down the small building.
