Hearing the sound, Ye Sirui turned his head, and unexpectedly saw a man in casual clothes, with delicate features and a good face, which impressed everyone who had seen it. "He Ying?"

He Ying strode up to catch up, with a hearty smile, "I thought I had misidentified the person, but the back looks really similar, so I yelled, I didn't expect it to be you, why did you come to the capital?" he said , supporting Ye Sirui's shoulders with both hands, and sizing him up carefully.

Ye Sirui was very happy to meet his old friend here, and he was even more happy to see that he treats him close to nature, without the intention of being polite. "It was only later that I heard from your father that you entered Beijing to take the martial arts exam. What was the result?"

"I passed the exam." He Ying's gestures were heroic and coquettish, and the passing carriages all slowed down. The little girl wearing a veil and the married woman couldn't help but stare at him intently.

"That's really a good time to celebrate." He Ying was already taller than him, and has grown a lot in the past few months. When looking at his face, he would look down.Feeling uncomfortable, Ye Sirui broke away from his hand, "Since such a major event has happened, there is no reason to pretend not to know. I invite you to a bar."

He Ying happily agreed.Ye Sirui led him to the Zhuangyuan Building, and asked him about his future plans, "Are you going to take the martial arts examination? Or become an official directly?"

"I want to be admitted to Jinshi, but it's too difficult to raise someone to become an official." He Ying told the truth, seeing Ye Sirui's indifferent smile after speaking, she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was from Juren, and hurriedly stumbled to distinguish: "I didn't look down on... ...I look down on Juren's background, hey, that's not what I meant..."

It looks like it has grown up, but it hasn't changed much.Ye Sirui didn't care about these at all.His sentence of seizing power was originally a syllable, after all, there are so many masters in the test, and An Shunhou will be furious if something really happens.But since He Ying said so, he couldn't persuade him anymore. "It doesn't matter, Juren's background is indeed inferior. Marquis Anshun must be very pleased with your self-motivation."

"Come on, the old man was almost mad at me." He Ying smirked.They walked to the door of Zhuangyuan Building unknowingly. He Ying looked up and grinned. "Master Ye, you are so proud, why are you living in the Zhuangyuan Building?"

The "Zi Qi" when we first met changed back to Mr. Ye in a blink of an eye, and it really changed a bit. "Have you never been here?" Seeing He Ying turning around and looking around, Ye Sirui joked, "If you come to live, maybe you can also win the first prize."

"It's all your literati's sour problem, we warriors don't like this." After all, He Ying's eyes didn't stop all the way. "To be honest, I didn't have much money when I left home. How could I afford it!" He ran away secretly, and the monthly money itself was small, and it was impossible for his father and brother to tell him, so he relied on his friends to raise some money.

They went to the lobby and sat down.Some students are already eating.Ye Sirui noticed that last time that person was whispering with others again, but the object of discussion changed from Ye Sirui to He Ying.He Ying didn't notice at all, and was still talking about interesting stories about the martial arts exams she participated in.The shop waiter came over and asked them to order, Ye Sirui raised his jaw at the tall and thin guy who was the leader of the group of scholars, "Is that Mr. Xie Qing?"

Xiao Er said, "So you two know each other?"

Ye Sirui didn't answer, and asked Cheng Ying to order a few dishes at will, Cheng Ying didn't show politeness to him, and ordered a lot of big dishes in one go.After ordering quickly, he ordered two more jars of wine and asked, "Who did you just say, Xie Qing?"

"It's nothing, I'm just asking casually." Ye Sirui waited for Xiao Er to go down and asked him: "Do you know that there is a suicide in Zhuangyuan building?"

When this topic was brought up, He Ying, who had been laughing since the meeting, darkened. "To tell you the truth, the whole capital probably knows about it. I just met a new friend, and the deceased is his brother. How could I not know?"

Wan Chengtiao's family brother?Ye Sirui's eyes lit up, "Your brother's name is Cheng Yu?"

"Brother Wei Ru's real name is indeed Wan Chengyu."

"Then do you know where he lives now?" Xiao Er brought some cold dishes with wine and served two jars of wine.Ye Sirui tried hard to control his excited and trembling voice.He Ying replied inexplicably: "He has rented a house to prepare for the exam, and I found it for him. How can he not know where he lives?" He said without delaying the pouring of wine. "Come on, Lord Ye, meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land is a great joy in life. I will offer you a toast."

It can be said that there is no place to find after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.Ye Sirui raised his glass, "This cup should be my respect to you, congratulations on your success." The two glasses of wine were drained in one gulp, but Ye Sirui noticed that the group of testers headed by Xie Qing was making noise again, and it became more and more violent. Covered with a sneer and looked at this side.Ye Sirui also pretended not to hear.He Ying concentrated on talking with him, not knowing what happened.

"Why do you want to see him?" He craned his neck and asked.Ye Sirui thought for a while and decided not to hide it from him, lowered his voice and approached him and said, "I was ordered..."

"Seeing that you are also a scholar, why do you act so ignorantly!"

An angry reprimand fell from the sky.The two looked up and saw that it was a man in a shirt, who was eating at the same table with Xie Qing just now.Ye Sirui knew at a glance that he was just a small person, he looked at Xie Qing from a distance, Xie Qing was talking with others, and he glanced here if there was nothing.Is it to test?

Ye Sirui's indifference angered the man even more. "I'm talking about you! A decent scholar, how can you get mixed up with such a rough person? It's a shame for us scholars!"

Ye Sirui could bear it, but He Ying couldn't. "What are you? A vulgar person who keeps your mouth shut, how many books have you read and how many articles have you written? You are just a man, what is your air? I will see you at the Golden Temple tomorrow, no matter how airy you are!"

That person's face was blue and white.However, He Ying seemed to be an unscrupulous gangster. If he really tried to do it, those weak scholars couldn't do anything to him.He couldn't talk about it, he couldn't beat him, and he seemed to have to retreat.

The man looked at his companions, gritted his teeth, and taunted Ye Sirui: "What? You still rely on such a vulgar person to speak for you? Fortunately, you have also read sage books, don't you have any sense of shame?"

Ye Sirui put down his wine glass and was about to speak when a voice came from behind him: "Don't you have a sense of shame when you ridicule others in front of you?"

"Brother Tianshu?" Ye Sirui recognized the voice as soon as he heard it.Seeing another tall, thin man with a weapon on his body, the Juren didn't have the courage to provoke him, and returned to the table in despair.Ye Sirui took a moment to tell Xia Shu to sit down, and called the waiter to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks. "I thought you were out. What were you doing in the house?"

"I said I'll wait for you here." Xia Shu said, looking at him without blinking.Ye Sirui suddenly had the illusion that when he was a child, he asked his elder brother to help him copy big characters and was discovered by his master. In order to cover up, he pulled the two of them together and introduced them, "He Ying, this is me... my best friend Xia Shu, who is very skilled in martial arts." Turning to Xiashu, "Brother Tianshu, this is He Ying, the youngest son of Marquis Anshun, who has passed the martial arts exam."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a little stupid. He Ying once asked him to ask Xia Shu Nan to buy a birthday gift for Marquis Anshun. The two of them had dealt with each other directly, so why would he need to do anything extra?But both of them nodded at each other, as if they really met for the first time.

"What did you just say?" He Ying asked Ye Sirui again.Ye Sirui glanced at Xia Shu, watching him take a sip of wine calmly, the wine glass seemed familiar...

"Master Ye?"

"It's nothing, I was ordered to investigate the Jinke rural examination fraud case." Ye Sirui cleared his throat and looked at Xia Shu again.

He Ying was inexplicably excited, and imitated him and asked in a low voice: "So there is something inside?"

Ye Sirui saw that Xia Shu was about to raise his glass again, so he quickly pressed his hand, "You haven't eaten yet, drinking on an empty stomach is the most harmful." Xia Shu looked at him without changing expression, letting him hold his scepter and put it down. wine glass.

He Ying widened his eyes and looked at them. After watching for a long time, he suddenly got up, "I remembered that there are still some trivial matters to deal with. Xie Ye Lord invited the wine. If it is really listed on the gold list in the future, it will not be too late to celebrate. If your lord has anything Just come to an inn to find me. I will take my leave first.”

He left hastily after speaking.Ye Sirui was at a loss, "This kid, just wanted to praise him for coming to the capital for a while and matured, why does he still seem inexplicable?"

Xia Shu put down the cup and let go of his hand, picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously, "What dishes do you have?"

Ye Sirui saw the shop waiter coming with a large plate and a small plate, and said helplessly: "There are too many, such a big meal, it's cheaper for the two of us."

Those students were also safe, and Ye Sirui accompanied Xia Shu and had a comfortable meal.In the afternoon, Ye Sirui had to go to the Procuratorate to show his face no matter what, he entrusted the evidence brought from Shuntian Mansion to Xia Shu for safekeeping, and before leaving, he said to Xia Shu: "You don't have to wait for me blindly, if If you want to go around the capital, or if there is any place you want to go, just go, as long as you pay attention to safety, and you can only ask for tea and money."

"I'm not short of money." Xia Shu put the changed clothes into his rucksack. "You are similar to He Ying."

"Me and him?" Ye Sirui didn't understand what he meant, "He is a dignified son of the Marquis, how can I be similar to him?"

Xia Shu glanced at him thoughtfully, then looked out of the window, "He is the son of the Hou family, and you are not bad."

On the way to the Prosecutor's Office, Ye Sirui was thinking about what Xia Shu's words meant. After thinking about it, he was in a cold sweat, but he still had no idea.Thinking about it again, I remembered He Ying's inexplicable hastily retreating, what happened to him?After much deliberation, the only possibility is that Xia Shu was found drinking from his own cup.

Thinking of this, Ye Sirui's eyes suddenly widened.

Could it be that Xia Shu is jealous?
