Finally the party is over.

Han Jiao mixed in the crowd, followed the attendants who were leading the way with lanterns, out of the mansion of the second-rank official, passed luxury carriages or horses, and the surrounding officials greeted each other goodbye and went their separate ways.

Gradually, Han Jiao was the only one left behind the attendants leading the way.

This is not the beginning of any ghost story, but Han Jiao's vehicle parked a little farther away.

"My lord, I didn't lead you the wrong way, did I?" the attendant who had already walked out of Erli with a lantern reminded Han Jiao tactfully.

"Here we are." Han Jiao spoke appropriately, and told the attendants, "Please go back, I'm sorry."

The attendant looked blankly at the empty alley, but he didn't see the carriage, so he smiled and said: "This place is dark and shady, the young ones should be sent to the entrance of the alley."

Han Jiao couldn't shirk, so he had to sneak for another mile with his attendants, and finally came to the door of an ordinary family, knocked on the door, and led out the little donkey that was kept in the house.

That's right, his mount is a donkey, and those who hear it really shed tears.

In fact, his family's conditions are not bad, which is not contradictory, because his father was an official, and his grandfather was also an official, and he was just an honest official.

I don't know why, but many fictional novels like to refer to the official system of the Ming Dynasty. What is cheating is that the salary of officials in this dynasty is lower than the Guinness record level.

The emperor said that he likes fair and honest ministers the most, but he didn't show it in terms of salary.

All human beings know that the way to express love is to help the other person empty the shopping cart, or to say that the emperor is a pig's trotter is hypocritical.

No use complaining about it.

In fact, his family is not very poor. The fundamental reason for riding a donkey is that his mother worried that he would speed up and be unsafe.

But Han Jiao is a person who cares about face. He hoped that the attendant behind him who was leading the way with a lamp would not ask any questions about donkeys, as it would embarrass him.

"My lord, why did you store your donkey here?" The attendant was puzzled.

Han Jiao: "..."

Just so as not to be seen.

"My lord is coming back to be a guest at the house, just hand over the donkey to the porter, and we will take care of it for you!" the attendant reminded enthusiastically.

"Understood, thank you." If you mention the donkey again, you will be beaten.

The donkey took Han Jiao to the door of the house at a leisurely pace, reckoning that he was just ten minutes away.

There was silence in the streets and alleys, and the bright lanterns at the door of my house were very eye-catching.

What is more eye-catching than the lantern is the squat little black shadow cast outside the door.

Here he is again.

Whenever Han Jiao returns home, this person will lie in ambush at this location.

Han Jiao pretended not to notice anything, and stepped harder to make it easier for the other party to judge his position until he was about to step into the threshold——

"Wow!!!" The little figure who had been lying in wait for a long time suddenly jumped out.

"Oh!" Han Jiao took a big step back, and was frightened away cooperatively.

"Hahahahahaha..." The ambush laughed, his chubby little figure looked like a tumbler.

The little fat man with very boring hobbies in front of him is Han Jiao's younger brother, Han Mo, who is five years old this year.

Han Jiao leaned over and picked up his younger brother, pinching his bun face fiercely: "Stinky boy, do you dare to play tricks next time? Hmm?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare again!" Brother No.30 promised seven times.

"Stay up so late, just to scare your brother?" Han Jiao carried his brother to the east chamber, and was going to tell a story to lull the little troublemaker to sleep.

"Brother! Ah Mo has done a trick for you!" The younger brother opened his eyes and looked at Han Jiao excitedly.

No wonder I was so excited, it turned out that I learned a new trick.

Han Jiao nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, come on, show me your hands."

The younger brother excitedly turned around and threw himself on the bed, picked up the "performance props" that he had practiced all day, the chubby turned his back to Han Jiao, and began to fiddle with it mysteriously. It took a while to get ready, turned around, and looked up. He waved to Han Jiao.

Han Jiao squatted down in front of his younger brother cooperatively.

The younger brother held up a small wooden ball the size of a grape in his left hand, and said solemnly: "Brother, watch it!"

Han Jiao stared at the small wooden ball seriously and nodded.

"Ha!" The younger brother roared, adding shocking sound effects to his tricks, which made Han Jiao tremble in fright.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom..."

The wooden ball unexpectedly fell to the ground, bounced wildly, and was quickly caught by Han Jiao.

After carefully looking at the wooden ball in his hand, Han Jiao looked at his younger brother suspiciously: "Did it change color? It's amazing."

"No!" Not to perform a color-changing trick, the younger brother jumped into a rage, took back the small wooden ball, and explained: "Ah Mo wants to make it disappear! Just now Ah Mo's hand slipped!"

"Oh, that's right." Han Jiao raised his hand to signal to his younger brother, please do it again.

Probably a little nervous, the younger brother slipped his hand again during the second performance, and the wooden ball was thrown directly at Han Jiao's face.

Han Jiao couldn't dodge in time, and was hit in the left eye. He covered one eye and looked at his brother: "Is this trick blinding the audience by smashing the ball so that people can't see the ball?"

"Ajiao is back?" Suddenly came the mother's voice from outside the door.

Worried that his mother would blame his younger brother, Han Jiao quickly blinked, forced his eyes open and stood up.

"When did you come back?" Mrs. Han stepped into the wing room and looked at Han Jiao's face with concern: "Didn't you drink too much?"

"No, I didn't take a sip. The smell of alcohol is someone else's."

"Why didn't you take a sip?" Mrs. Han looked worried.

Han Jiao looked confused: "Didn't you tell me to drink less when I went out?"

Women are truly elusive creatures.

"Then you can't stop drinking? How many times has mother told you to get along with those same years, don't be stubborn like your father and offend your colleagues..."

"I know." Han Jiao hurriedly said perfunctorily: "The same year who participated in the birthday banquet took care of my young age and didn't give me alcohol. You don't have to worry about it. I have a strong relationship with my colleagues."

"That's good." Mrs. Han showed a calm and reassuring smile.

Looking at everything in front of him, the silly younger brother, the foolish mother, and the stubborn father in the study next door who has been secretly proud of his prodigy son, Han Jiao feels very happy.

Although the looks of these family members are different from those of his previous life, but by some coincidence, they all have the same name.

In the previous life, Han Jiao's parents and younger brother died in a car accident. At that time, the younger brother was only three years old.

Han Jiao suspects that it was not an accident, but he has no evidence. He was still studying abroad when the accident happened.

After dropping out of school and returning to China, he secretly investigated the illegal sewage factory that his father investigated during his lifetime. After two and a half years, no evidence was found. When he woke up, he appeared in this world.

This is the world in a novel he read in high school.

The family members here have the same names as their parents and younger brothers in the previous life, and even their personalities are very similar.

It's as if the family couldn't bear to see him running around alone with hatred in another world, so they picked him up.

It's just that this world is not safe, especially his father, who is still the stubborn and tough gentleman in the previous life.

This is simply cannon fodder standard in ancient officialdom.

Han Jiao's understanding of the plot of the original work is limited to the life of King Yan.

Taking advantage of this point and choosing the right time to go to offer advice, you should be able to guarantee safety.

After all, he lives in an era where neither talent, rights nor character can guarantee safety, and the only reliable means of earning a living is to gain the full trust of those in power.

As the male protagonist, King Yan has a qualified golden thigh, and is only one year older than Han Jiao. He has superb martial arts skills and a great body. He should be able to survive Han Jiao, and he will not worry in this life.

Han Jiao had already held King Yan's golden thigh firmly in his heart, but at this stage, it was the period when King Yan was about to suffer for the first time.

In the original book, King Yan was slandered and lost the trust of the emperor. Although the emperor did not touch his son, he cut off some key members of King Yan's party.

During this period, King Yan was powerless to fight back, Han Jiao didn't want to take the risk of defecting, so he didn't show up to toast last night, but he was very curious about King Yan.

I don't know what Yan Wang looked like when he was young. In the original book, he was quite upright and resolute. He should be a modest and modest gentleman, right?

Early in the morning, a few birds landed on the eaves of the main house in Beiyuan, King Yan's Mansion.

"It must be a Hanlin Jinshi from the other courtyard. He looks eighteen or nineteen years old. He looks handsome and behaves arrogantly. Check it out for me. You must find out this kid." King Yan, who was being waited on and changed his clothes, complained to the eunuch pettishly, "It's really extremely arrogant. "

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, which startled the birds on the eaves.

"Your Highness, Mr. Liu urgently seeks an audience."

"So early?" King Yan lowered his head to signal the eunuch to move more quickly.

Before the white jade belt buckle in the middle of the belt was straightened, King Yan hurried out of the main courtyard.

Liu Tong, who was pacing back and forth in the side hall, heard the sound of the bead curtain being raised, and he couldn't wait to go forward: "My minister, see Your Highness."

"Sir, don't be too polite, what's the matter?" King Yan saw that his face was pale, obviously something serious happened.

Liu Tong took out the secret letter from his sleeve, and respectfully handed it over: "Your Highness, please have a look."

King Yan shook out the letter paper quickly, and read the content at a glance.

"Has the transcript of the interrogation been sent to the father's case?" King Yan's long and narrow eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Tong with a pale face.

"Not yet!" Liu Tong hurriedly comforted: "The case has not been decided yet. This statement is for the purpose of asking me to secretly submit it to His Highness."

King Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly closed his eyes, seemingly calm, but he couldn't hold back his fists, and his thumbs almost pierced through the thick stack of letter papers in his hand.

"This shameless person!" The letter was slammed on the table, and King Yan walked up to Liu Tong furiously, and said angrily: "He thought that if he had something to do with this king, the Sanju would not dare to investigate him thoroughly. ? Let them not need to take this king into consideration, and thoroughly investigate to the end!"

"Your Highness, calm down." Liu Tong hurriedly comforted him: "Zhao Liang is probably instigated by others. It's fake to kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, but it's true to provoke His Majesty and His Highness. Don't act on your will, just do what he wants!"

"Then what do you think should be done?" King Yan suppressed his anger: "The beast has guarded the border for three years, and the Tartars invaded the border people every now and then. Such a heartless thing! Because in his confession, he intentionally quarreled with me, and he wants me to come forward to protect him? If this is the case, wouldn’t it be my own hands to kill the people who died unjustly in the frontier!”

"Your Highness, be careful!" Liu Tongdong knelt down on the ground, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

King Yan has been upright and loving the people since he was a child, which made him, a teacher, full of expectations for the future of Dachu. However, without the emperor's preference, King Yan's integrity is a sharp edge of self-error.

A month ago, good news came from Qining Pass in Liaodong - our army beheaded more than [-] enemy troops from the Tartars.

Half a month ago, the inspector censor who checked and inspected urgently reported back to Beijing, saying that women and children were found in the corpses of the enemy army, and that he suspected the general of the Qi Ningguan Command Army, and killed a good man and pretended to be meritorious!

Because the good news made the Emperor Longyan very happy, the matter had already spread throughout the capital, and the mansion was published to inform all the provinces. It can be said that the whole country knew about it. At this time, when this incident happened, where would the emperor's face be put?

So the secret letter was temporarily suppressed by the cabinet, and the three justices were asked to conduct an emergency joint trial to confirm the authenticity of the matter first, so as not to disturb the father.

During the interrogation, the criminal general mentioned that when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, King Yan met him privately many times, saying that King Yan knew what he was like, and that those unfaithful and unfilial traitors wanted to frame him.

This is to give yourself the seal of the Yanwang Party.

The two meetings were true, because King Yan cared about the border wars, and he couldn't go to the border patrols from time to time, so of course he wanted to know the situation from him.

Unexpectedly, before the beast died, it wanted to pull the king of Yan to block the arrow.

King Yan was full of blood, unable to maintain his rationality at all, wishing he could die with that beast.

Liu Tong begged for comfort repeatedly before the prince calmed down.

"What does Xu Ge always mean?" King Yan lowered his head and asked in despair.

"Elder Ge said that this traitor will never escape death!" Liu Tong said in a low voice, "It's just that you can't be executed for the crime of killing a good man and pretending to be a meritorious deed. Next, when the situation subsides, find another excuse, and definitely execute that servant Lingchi!"

silence.

After a long time, King Yan's voice was low and hoarse: "What about those people who died unjustly? How can relatives comfort them?"

"No relatives." Liu Tong said sadly: "I'm afraid the village was massacred, and no one survived to complain."

"It's unreasonable!" After all, King Yan couldn't bear it anymore: "No! You must not hide the crime of this beast!"

"Your Highness!"

Liu Tong's repeated persuasion was fruitless, so he had to retreat and go to Xu Ge's old mansion to discuss.

King Yan was so angry that he didn't think about eating or drinking all day long.

A eunuch happily entered the door to announce: "His Royal Highness, I found out that among the Jinshi who went to worship the birthday last night, there is only one Jinshi who is under 20 years old, and that is the child prodigy Xiaobai who moved the capital——Han Jiao!"

King Yan was distracted by the news, stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly: "No wonder you are so arrogant."

The eunuch bowed and waited for King Yan's order.

After a long time, King Yan only sneered: "Child prodigy."
