After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 18 You are both talented and beautiful

No matter how angry Nian Songyu is, would he dare to openly attack him here?
The two stared at each other like a cockfight for a long time, He Yue didn't care, only Sun Fuping smoothed things over: "How can Captain Nian know about your servants? He will find out when he goes back and ask. How did Mr. He get injured? It's important, don't worry." Talk about him."

He Lingchuan sighed: "Almost fifty days ago, I went hunting in Calabash Mountain, but was attacked by a sand leopard and fell off the cliff. After being carried back, I fell into a coma for several days before waking up."

Nian Songyu's eyes almost burst into flames: "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" What is this kid pretending to be?
Sun Fuping only asked the main point: "Where's the sand leopard?"

"Dead, and was carried back with me." He Lingchuan shrugged, "I ordered someone to dismember the sand leopard after I woke up. This thing almost killed me, I have to dismantle it and take it off. The parts have been sold in the market.” He casually pointed to the east side, “There are many merchants here, who are interested in monster fur, minions, tongues, eyes, inner alchemy, etc., and are willing to pay a lot of money.”

"We know what you two are thinking." He Yue said at the right time, "Yesterday I learned that the Sand Leopard who ambushed my brother was injured by you. Although my father did not express his opinion, he has already sent people to track down the whereabouts of the Sand Leopard's body."

The nails in these words are very hard, but it's a pity that they don't hurt or itch on the two people opposite.Sun Fuping rolled his eyes: "Can Sheriff He really find out?"

He Yue smiled: "I must go all out."

Just kidding, this package of tickets is naturally not allowed.

Sun Fuping was silent for a while before he said: "By the way, before this trip, Da Sima wrote in a letter and mentioned that if the country's troubles can be solved, Mr. He's talents don't have to be wasted in poor mountains and rivers."

The He family brothers were moved together: "You mean, no, Da Sima means...?"

"Turn back to the capital, admonish Sheng Zhishu to serve as the censor!"

When have these old officials been so straightforward?He Lingchuan stood up suddenly: "Da Sima knows people with eyes and speaks well!" While speaking, he leaned on Sun Fuping and stretched out his hand.

Sun Fuping handed over a letter, but the wax seal was still unopened.

Apparently, this was a letter specially prepared by Da Sima for He Chunhua.

Although the promotion of officials is not the responsibility of Da Sima, but his prestige in the government and the opposition is not difficult to facilitate this matter.

Sun Fuping said flatly: "I hope that Governor He will not let down the high expectations of the Great Sima."

He Lingchuan smiled and said, "Of course not."

He Yue also said: "We are doing our best to track down Sand Leopard's clues, and I believe there will be an answer soon."

The two stood up: "Then wait for the good news from Sheriff He."

Sun Fuping was about to go out, but Nian Songyu turned to look at He Yue: "Second Master He, how old are you this year?"

"fourteen."

"I heard that when I was in Wangjin, the second son of He Taishou of Qiansong County is smart and steady, but unexpectedly he is so handsome and elegant, as expected, it is better to see it than to hear it."

This guy suddenly commented on the second child, what do you want to do?He Lingchuan pointed to himself, and then took over the conversation: "What about me, can outsiders talk about it?"

Nian Songyu smiled and said, "Yes, it's like gold and jade."

Everyone knew that the key point was the next sentence that he didn't say, but He Lingchuan was complacent: "Have vision, have vision."

He Yue coughed lightly: "Brother, see off the guests."

Before He Lingchuan turned around, Nian Songyu suddenly said: "The inn where the national teacher and I live is extremely small. I think the mansion of He Junshou is quite grand, with a lot of houses. I wonder if we can stay for two guests again?"

Both the He brothers and Sun Fuping were taken aback.

"Of course it's..." That's okay.

There are many vacant rooms in He's house, He Yue quickly informed Mrs. Ying, and arranged a house for each of the two distinguished guests.

The servants rushed to the inn and brought the two people's bags, which was considered a formal check-in.

After a busy conversation, the two guests settled down.

After the servants had dispersed, Nian Songyu looked at the closed gate of the yard: "Sure enough, the leopard fell into their hands. The surname He didn't tell the truth, and the leopard corpse might still be at his house."

"Even if it's still there, it's been well hidden." Sun Fuping met his sinister gaze, "Don't you want to climb over the wall to kill people and seize the treasure? If it doesn't work, you have to think about the follow-up plan. Da Sima predicted well, He Chunhua will take the opportunity Take it easy and bargain."

If He Chunhua bowed his head and obeyed orders, he would not take out the envelope prepared by Da Sima.

Nian Songyu sneered: "A mere frontier sheriff, a small official with a bigger p, dare to speak like a lion?"

"Maybe he is brave at this juncture. Da Sima has praised him several times. This person is different from ordinary mediocre officials."

Nian Songyu said bitterly: "It's a pity, this is not Wangjin City!"

Wangjin is the capital of Xunzhou, his territory.

Sun Fuping shook his head: "Business matters. What these petty officials want is nothing more than getting promoted and getting rich. It's not difficult to settle."

"Although the secretary and the censor are only from the fifth rank, they can supervise the officials. They are a fat job that everyone covets. In the past, I might be jealous." Nian Songyu smiled sarcastically, "But now..."

Sun Fuping lowered his face: "Don't talk nonsense!"

……

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

He Chunhua hasn't come back yet, he is really busy.

The Baling Mission has arrived in Heishui City, and the local officials are responsible for receiving it.

During this period, He Lingchuan went to the official office and personally handed over the letter from Da Sima to his father.

He Chunhua, who has always been mild-mannered, couldn't help shouting at the sky.

For more than 20 years, he has experienced wind and sand in the frontier fortress, and finally he will return to the familiar metropolis!

The place where he was born and raised, where the He family used to be glorious.

He Chunhua even took out his wine collection, picked two cups, grabbed his eldest son and drank three cups together, feeling indescribably refreshed.

Only then did He Lingchuan know that his father secretly hid fine wine in the mansion, which was better than any wine he had ever tasted.

After three cups, he was sent home.

It was already very dark at this moment, and it was already past meal time, so the He residence was as quiet as usual.

He Lingchuan knew that no one at home would wait for him to cook, so he planned to go to the back kitchen to find some snacks to fill his stomach.The cook at home always hides a pot of good things in the low cabinet. Today it should be apple honey crisp. If he steals it and eats it, he won't protest.

He walked past the second brother's residence.

At this time, He Yue either reads at night by candlelight, or reads papers by lighting a lamp, and usually doesn't wander around He's house.

However, He Lingchuan heard the voices of two people in the bamboo forest.

two men.

One is He Yue: "...I don't think so, Captain Nian!"

Captain Nian?He Lingchuan tiptoed over.

Sure enough, the other person was Nian Songyu. Seeing that his cheeks were red, He Lingchuan obviously didn't drink less: "Why don't you? Most of them are rich and powerful, and the eyes of the nobles are high above the top. Even if your father is promoted and returns, he will only be from the fifth rank. You When do you want to get through it?"

He leaned closer and said with a smile: "You are both talented and beautiful, if you are recommended by my father again..."
