Middle-aged man: "Master Mei, what does this mean?"

Spread out on the desk table are Mei Ziqi's imitated letters to the Japanese, all addressed to famous pirate merchants along the southeast coast, and the contents are of course money transfers and solicitations, which are almost fake.

There is only one thing wrong, the signature is empty.

Mei Ziqi took it easy and explained: "I don't know Xie Jiuyuan, so I can copy the words from the memorial, but how do I know how he is used to signing the money? Naturally, I have to read his daily letters before I can sign the money. "

The middle-aged man didn't buy it, but in his opinion, it would be useless for Mei Ziqi to play any more tricks, so he immediately said: "That's it. Thank you, sir, then let's go ahead and wait for you at Xie Jiuyuan's residence. Twenty-one, twenty-two, okay Protect Lord Mei."

"Yes!"

Mei Ziqi watched in astonishment as his bodyguard knelt down to take orders from the middle-aged man, and only then did he realize that Wen Jinli had already deployed people around him.

He clenched his fists tightly, and watched the middle-aged man and his men leave under the cover of night with their faces covered in black scarves.

Unexpectedly, they came back after a while.

Mei Ziqi was in a panic, and couldn't believe that they killed a person in half a cup of tea. Hearing that Xie Jiuyuan went to the boat with Su Wei, Mei Ziqi felt relieved, no matter how crazy Wen Jinli's people were, they would not run to On the Qinhuai River, killing people in full view.

Facing the sinister gaze of the middle-aged man, Mei Ziqi's heart tightened again, and he pretended to be calm and suggested: "Then, let's discuss tomorrow?"

The middle-aged man decisively dismissed it.

"No, the night is long and has many dreams. Twenty-one, twenty-two, bring Master Mei's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and we will go to the Qinhuai River."

Painted boats on the Qinhuai River.

In the hall for the guests to drink and have fun together, the captain of the guards was joking with Mrs. Hua|Kui, and the guards who were not on duty on duty also hooked up with the beauties quite elegantly. With a bright figure and a veteran in love, he coaxed the girls to tremble and blushed. This painting boat, which was paid by them with a lot of money, seemed to be a scene of joy and harmony.

Only Xie Jiuyuan kept a straight face, kept away from strangers, and kept his eyes straight. He was a model of Taoism, drinking and eating alone, which was very abrupt.

When Captain Su Wei proposed this idea, Xie Jiuyuan almost suspected that this person did it on purpose. Why can't he avoid Huafang next time he goes to the south of the Yangtze River?

"Unintentional Qinhuai Fengyue", the promise made by Emperor Qiyuan is still in my ears. This is a good time, and I will stay overnight on the boat. Although it is forced by the situation, Xie Jiuyuan is a person who keeps his promises. The mood is quite bad.

Worse than him is Wangcai.

As Xie Jiuyuan's book boy, Wangcai has followed Xie Jiuyuan since he was a child, and he knows him very well. When it comes to painting boats, Xie Jiuyuan loves to see beauties so much, he smiles a little, and seems to be worried. This is obviously a situation.

Wangcai is worried, but I just go back to my hometown to deliver letters for a while, and I can't keep up with the master's situation when I come back. How can this be done?How can I be a book boy in the future?So he entered Huafang, and he got close with Eunuch Xiaobao. After all, Xiaobao was a little eunuch, and he was uncomfortable entering this kind of place, and he didn't know anyone well. Wangcai took the initiative to talk to him to relieve the situation. Thank you so much, I said a lot without realizing it.

Wangcai becomes more and more worried the more he listens.

It's over, it's over.

When Xie Jiuyuan was studying, although he was out of tune in his heart, he was full of enthusiasm in both civil and martial arts. At that time, Wangcai felt that his master would be able to publish "The Record of Good Ministers" no matter what he did in the future; Cai felt that if his master continued like this, there might be a "Biography of Loyalty" in the future.

It never occurred to her that her master did not take an unusual path, and this time she might have to add something to "Ning|Xing Biography".

Wangcai wants to cry but has no tears.

There must be a limit to the love of beauty, the emperor is the lord of the world, why is he so courageous, to put it bluntly, the late emperor's harem was all martyred and buried, and every single one of them was filled into the imperial mausoleum!

I can't live through this day...

"Brother Wangcai, what's the matter with you?" Eunuch Xiaobao asked worriedly seeing Wangcai's sad face.

Wangcaiqiang cheered up and squeezed out a smile that was bitterer than bitter gourd: "It's okay, Xiaobao, tell me, is your Majesty very beautiful, I mean, very powerful?"

Father-in-law Xiaobao admired Emperor Qiyuan, the savior, and immediately started talking.

In the night, several small boats quickly approached the boat.

The captain of the guard who received the report from the guard and Xie Jiuyuan looked at each other. The captain of the guard and the guards each led the girl into different rooms, and Xie Jiuyuan brought Wangcai and Xiaobao into the inner room.

All the men in black who carefully climbed onto the boat only saw the leftovers in the hall, and they must have gone into the side room to have fun. , All the men in black immediately divided into groups of two, went upstairs and entered the wing room, and prepared to silence them room by room.

The middle-aged man stopped the last group and said to them: "Go and bring Mrs. Mei over ahead of time, so that he can open his eyes."

The two men in black smiled knowingly, boarded the boat again, and went back to the pier to pick up Mei Ziqi.

Halfway through the returning boat, they heard screams from the painting boat, and the two men in black couldn't help but feel a little proud. The guards' wine bags and rice bags were really vulnerable.

Mei Ziqi followed [-] onto the boat, and frightenedly followed them onto the boat.

It was not one-sided as they thought, but a scuffle. The two men in black immediately drew their knives and joined the battle. Mei Ziqi took a step back, and the [-] knife hit his back, and He had to stand where he was.

It turned out that the scream was a warning from the man in black who was not killed by the guard.

The middle-aged man who understood that he was in an ambush immediately let out a snarl, and the man in black quickly exited the room before he had time to enter the room or the guards in the room had no chance to make a move, and rushed back to the hall.

The old guards and Xie Jiuyuan chased after them, forming a confrontation between the left and the right in the hall. The middle-aged man swept his eyes and found that four or five people were missing. cut.Some of the guards were also injured. Since the men in black dared to attack, they would of course draw their swords and slash back.

Seeing that it was already a melee, Xie Jiuyuan had no choice but to abandon his strategy, drew his sword to enter the game, kicked a few to clear the field, and then made a move to subdue the enemy, the move saw blood, the captain of the guard saw that he was indeed a master, killed After getting up, they gradually moved closer to Xie Jiuyuan's direction. The two teamed up to trap the middle-aged man and concentrate on dealing with the leader.

"careful!"

There was a man in black sneaking up behind the captain of the guard. Xie Jiuyuan kicked the captain of the guard away, but without the captain of the guard, the middle-aged man immediately intensified his attack. Xie Jiuyuan gritted his teeth, and his eyes were red. Recklessly confronting the middle-aged man, the captain of the guard was unable to break into the battle, so he had to guard Xie Jiuyuan's surroundings so that he would not be distracted.

The rapid collision of the swords seemed to spark sparks. Xie Jiuyuan looked for the loophole and flew the steel | knife in the middle-aged man's hand with one move, followed by a downward slash, and then counterattacked with an upward slash, chopping off the middle-aged man's right hand , the spurted blood stained his handsome eyebrows and eyes, making him look like a god of death.

Xie Jiuyuan touched the middle-aged man's neck with his sword, and asked knowingly, "Who sent you here?"

The middle-aged man showed a frightened look on his face, which was too abrupt. Xie Jiuyuan thought something wrong, and saw the middle-aged man took out a string of throwing knives from his waist and threw them. Xie Jiuyuan managed to dodge most of them, but still injured his left shoulder. Immediately, he was furious, and instead of retreating, he moved forward, decapitated the middle-aged man, and blood|flowers splattered everywhere.

The old guards also dealt with these black-clothed men, leaving only two survivors. By the way, they took down Meiziqi and [-]bo. They were proud of themselves. They turned around to see Xie Jiuyuan whose clothes were soaked in blood. It's more aggrieved than someone having to throw it.

Then, under the admiring eyes of everyone, Xie Jiuyuan shook and fell to the ground.

The flying knife quenched the poison.

The captain of the guard immediately scolded his mother in his heart, and asked people to drive the painting boat to the shore. While shouting with great fanfare, "Xie Qin was assassinated on the painting boat to investigate the governor of the south of the Yangtze River", while sending people to invite the doctor, and at the same time, Mei Ziqi and [-] One twenty-two men locked up and brought them back to their residence.

Mei Ziqi, who was brutally locked into an empty room, gritted her teeth: "You cunning people, how dare you lock up your officials and parade through the streets! The common people will think that I sent someone to assassinate Xie Jiuyuan!"

Su Wei was too lazy to fight with him, thinking of Huafang, he intentionally was mean to him: "Master Mei, I have been visiting kilns for so many years, and I know that there are two types of Qingshou. I also admire it, poor end, tsk, it’s all miserable, there are many, it’s the second type, the old bustard can live in rare goods, the bitch sets the price, it’s not that they don’t sell it, but they want to sell it for a good price and sell it in a good way.”

The words "Feng Feng Guang Guang" seemed to hit Mei Ziqi directly on the face, the guard locked the door, and Mei Ziqi sat on the ground wearily, laughing like crazy.

After seeing off the doctor, the captain of the guard was relieved, and asked Wangcai to guard Xie Jiuyuan carefully before going out to interrogate Meiziqi.

Fortunately, it was just drugged, otherwise how would I explain it to the Holy Majesty?

Xie Jiuyuan didn't know about human affairs at this time. He dreamed the same dream, the one during the Lantern Festival, but it was different from that time. He could see and hear all the details clearly, as if he had escaped into the fairyland of the fairy house and went back in time and space.

He was still in the vast hot spring, with the young Gu Zhen in his arms.Surrounded by resplendent gold and jade, the faucet spits out hot spring water continuously, surrounded by warm mist.

Xie Jiuyuan, who saw clearly this time, couldn't help but be amazed, his face was clearly not yet in his prime, how could he have silver hair and white hair in his 30s?

He looked sideways and saw that the lotus lantern with "Jiulang" written on it was floating not far away, and the lotus lantern with "Yuntang" written on it was on the edge of the pool.

He asked in Gu Zhen's ear, "Reluctance?"

Gu Zhen glared at himself, turned around and wanted to go away, but was snatched back.

He saw himself reach out and pull out a jade tablet from the scattered clothes by the pool, straighten out the red thread, and carefully hang the jade tablet on Gu Zhen's neck.

"What is this?" Gu Zhen leaned against him and asked.

"It's my family's jade token. When a man from Xie's family was born, his parents gave him a jade token. Don't show it to others easily. It's given to his wife on the wedding night, which means a lifetime of one pair."

Gu Zhen deliberately raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what should I do?"

"It may take several years for me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to fight against the Japanese pirates. I leave it to you as a token of love. In case, I also leave a thought for you."

Hearing the last sentence, Gu Zhen trembled with anger, and pushed him away: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He saw himself kissing Gu Zhen's side face, comforting the red-eyed Gu Zhen: "Yuntang, let's get married tonight."

Gu Zhen bit his shoulder, scorching || hot tears rolled down his shoulder, the choked up sound was like a wounded little animal, not daring to cry out.

So he was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to hug the lover in his arms tightly.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zhen suddenly sank into the water, scooped up a handful of water to wash away the traces of crying, leaned back into his arms, stretched out his hands from the side of his face to the back of his head, and tightly grasped his white hair: " Alright, now that we are married, we have all the flowers and candles, let's have a bridal chamber."

"What does this mean?" Mei Ziqi was taken to the study room, where his forged letters were spread out on the table.

Xie Jiuyuan, who just woke up in the morning, closed his eyes, not bothering to look at him, and ordered: "Use your words, copy it once, and put your name on it."

"Am I crazy?" Mei Ziqi thought it was ridiculous.

Xie Jiuyuan still closed his eyes and didn't care about his refusal: "I will kill Feng Weixiang tomorrow, do you want to be a witness framed by the governor of Jiangnan, or do you want to kneel with him at the gate of the Gongyuan? Choose the former, and you will still be your ceremonial minister when you return to Beijing Zuo Shilang, without the care of Wen Xiang, but you left such a small trick in my hands, I might use you; if you choose the latter, you will die for no reason, and the only use is to add trouble to Wen Jinli. Master Mei, you have the final say."

"Thank you imperial envoy," Mei Ziqi copied the letter by hand, and couldn't help laughing as he copied it, with a sarcastic tone, "Are you trying to teach me that 'the world is as black as crows'?"

"Master Mei used the wrong code," Xie Jiuyuan replied absent-mindedly, "Here we should use the phrase 'treat the person in the same way'."

Mei Ziqi paused, but still gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

"Like you to deceive yourself and others?" Xie Jiuyuan replied impatiently.

Mei Ziqi didn't say another word.

The next day, Jiangnan Juren and the people finally ushered in the final trial of the imperial examination bribery case.

The author has something to say:
