Fantastic scenery

"My lord! Catch an assassin!" There was a lot of noise outside the door, and the light of the torch penetrated into the room through the door, waking up Dali Siqing and his wife.

"Xianggong..." Deng got up very angry, if she was disturbed, his old bones would have to be beaten.

Duan Ning turned over and got up, slightly opened the door, and said to the guard: "The assassin can just chop it up?! Do you want to bother me about anything?!"

"My lord... Assassins are not ordinary people..." The soldiers looked very embarrassed.

Duan Ning rolled his eyes, "Isn't it an ordinary person? Is it an ordinary person?! Just cut it off!"

Duan Ning was about to close the door, but the soldier stretched out a leg to block it, "It's Zhilan Tanhua!"

Fang Shu is in a state of embarrassment now, tied up with a hemp rope and pinned to the ground, obviously he has investigated the changing rules of the guards in Dali Temple, but halfway through, Cheng Yaojin—Wu Zhuangyuan Yang Tongyi, somehow came to Dali Temple to be the commander .

To say that this Yang Tongyi also has some backgrounds. His family was originally a family of wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but he was a martial idiot since he was a child. Tournament.

Wen Xuanqing ignored him, and directly knocked at the door. Wen Xuanqing was forced to fight, and only got a tie that day, but was stopped by Zeng Lingtian, so he could only leave angrily.

Yang Tong raised Fang Shu's face and looked around, "It looks familiar..."

Behind him was the grim-faced soldier in the afternoon, and he answered, "This is the Lord of the criminal department."

He let go of his hand, "Oh... a wandering soul in the middle of the night?"

Duan Ning hurriedly paced over with his jacket on, "Quickly untie Mr. Fang!"

Yang Tong cut the rope on his body with one stroke of his sword, Fang Shu stood upright, tore off the black turban, and let out his black hair.

He bowed to Duan Ning, "I'm bothering Mr. Duan! I will leave first!"

Fang Shu was extremely nervous, and was about to run away after speaking, but was blocked by Yang Tong's blade.

"Why did Mr. Fang come here?! Don't you sit still?"

The corner of Fang Shu's mouth twitched involuntarily, he turned to Duan Ning and said, "I apologize for disturbing everyone's rest, and I'm sorry to hear Mrs Duan's invitation, why don't I come to see you formally tomorrow?"

"Let's do it now, everyone is busy tomorrow, why did Mr. Fang come here for a walk at night?"

Duan Ning asked people to move two chairs, and sat down in this yard, and did not invite anyone to talk in the room. This is obviously a simple interrogation.

Fang Shu didn't sit down, "The defense of Dali Temple is really impregnable. It really can't even fly in. It's done very well."

After Duan Ning listened, his facial features all frowned, "Master Fang, are you staying up in the middle of the night to inspect the defense of Dali Temple?"

Fang Shu's face turned pale, "The new official takes office three times. He wants to understand everything clearly, so it's better to do it by himself."

"Young people have good energy..." Duan Ning yawned, "Would you like to visit the prison again?"

"is it okay?"

"It's definitely not possible! I'm writing to you to sneak into the important place. If you don't die, you will have to lose two catties of meat!" Duan Ning thought for a while, "It seems that you don't know the severity when you first entered the officialdom, and you have made military exploits. Forget it, I’ll sell you a favor, if you do this again next time, I won’t let you off lightly!”

"Thank you, Mr. Duan!", Fang Shu hesitated, gritted his teeth and asked: "Mr. Huo Tailing...is it here? Is it okay?"

When Duan Ning heard this, the sleepy bugs disappeared, and his eyes cleared up, "This is a secret! No comment!"

"Master Huo... We are close friends with me, and we are really worried about our safety... Could Master Duan be a little more accommodating. It would be nice if we meet each other..."

"It is rumored that Zhilan Tanhua is very sensible, Xiao Dayi, why did I see you today, but you are an aggressive young man? Go back soon... I am really sleepy, and I am too lazy to waste time with ignorant young men. Yang Tong! See off guests!!"

Yang Tong pointed the knife at Fang Shu's neck, Fang Shu clenched his fists, but had no choice but to leave.

Looking at the black and thin back, Duan Ning sighed, and said to himself, "This brat! Didn't you just say no to trouble?!"

When Fang Shu returned to Zhongxianju, he didn't feel sleepy at all. He saw Zhu Changluo's 'extra' homework on the table, and remembered that he promised to reply tomorrow.

Picking up the paperweight at the side and pressing down a corner of the paper, taking the Helian glazed lamp, and illuminating the silver hook painted on the paper.

"

The spring breeze softly supports Macheng Mountain, and it is short-lived to call it Yingshan.

Since I came to the capital, I have a blue color, and my spring onions and jade fingers tease lovesickness.

"

The next day, Fang Shu's eyes were black and he looked tired. His colleagues looked at him and asked him about it. Fang Shu only said that he was attacked by nightmares at night and couldn't sleep peacefully.

This year is the year of Jingcha, originally the six subjects were particularly busy, and with the addition of urging the emperor to appoint a crown prince, it was even more busy. Fang Shu went through the files of memorials in recent days, but there was no case of red seal and white lotus.

In the afternoon, in front of several princes, he praised Zhu Changluo for his hard work and outstanding grades. After taking advantage of the rest time, Fang Shu called him to the gazebo next to the upper study.

The two sat facing each other, and Zhu Changluo evaded Fang Shu as soon as he came up to him. Fang Shu looked at his every move, still a little childish, and couldn't say anything serious.

He took out the paper from his arms and folded it neatly. Fang Shu handed it back to Zhu Changluo with both hands.

"Your Highness... I'm a commoner, so what can I do? I'm really scared. Being able to be His Highness's humble teacher is a blessing that has been cultivated for thousands of years. Your Highness will be the future emperor, and I have a huge burden on my shoulders. Don't take it seriously on the spur of the moment. "

After finishing speaking, Fang Shu patted him on the shoulder lightly.

Zhu Changluo's chest heaved violently, "Sir... I am just the son of a man, and I don't have any blessings to be an emperor. I know it myself..."

"Who said you are the son of man?!"

"Your Majesty, Zhu Changxun and the others all said that..."

Fang Shu was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to dislike his elder son so much, even to the point of loathing him.

Zhu Changluo said in a low voice: "I'm just a product of the emperor's temporary interest. I shouldn't have come to this world... I'm sorry for causing trouble to my husband. I was really too impulsive..."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went back alone. There was only one personal eunuch in his palace. Compared with Zhu Changxun, who was surrounded by stars, there was only loneliness shrouded around him.

The emperor's personal eunuch came to invite Fang Shu, saying that the emperor wanted to see him, which made him panic, straightened his crown, and followed him.

All the way to Yucui Pavilion, Shenzong was practicing calligraphy.

Fang Shu knelt down, Shenzong asked him to stand up, and asked, "Do you know, Aiqing, why I invited you here today?"

"I don't know the humble job."

Shenzong shook his head helplessly, "A few days ago you beat the third prince, and I was really annoyed by Concubine Zheng Aifei, so I insisted on punishing you once or twice."

"Where is the mistake of the humble job, I hope the emperor will give some pointers."

After listening, Shenzong put down his pen and laughed loudly, "Master Fang, don't be nervous. How can you take a woman's words seriously, and I won't make things difficult for you. Chang Xun is still young, and he really doesn't know how to be polite. If you punish him, you will also punish him." , Hit him, it hurt his self-esteem a bit, you take some time to appease him in front of everyone, let him earn face back."

Fang Shu gritted his teeth, and replied: "Yes. Your Majesty, there is a problem with the humble position. The eldest prince has already reached the age of weak crown. This room still needs some maids to serve. There are some things that eunuchs can't replace..."

The atmosphere was a bit condensed, Shenzong only responded in a mild manner, he didn't get entangled in this matter, "Master Huo's matter...Master Fang must know..."

Fang Shu's whole body tensed up, "I heard."

"Lord Huo is a rare person I trust. Of course, I don't believe that he colluded with the traitor party. I asked Chen Ju to investigate, but I was a little worried. I would like to trouble you and Chen Ju to investigate the case together, and give you the imperial envoy."

Naturally, this was something Fang Shu couldn't ask for, so he quickly knelt down and thanked the Lord for his kindness.

It's just that he was a little puzzled, "However, why is it a humble job?"

"Recently, your group of speech officials has been making a fuss, and their mob is okay. I'm afraid of you, and I will let you go to other things. Don't get involved in this matter to target me, and you just happen to be able to talk to Chen I am afraid that there will be an unjust case." Shenzong looked at Fang Shu and said, "Everything needs checks and balances."

That night, Fang Shu went to Dali Temple with the imperial decree. Now he was confident and led a row of guards, wearing the brocade robe bestowed by the emperor himself, with a stern look.

When Duan Ning saw his sacred decree in his hand, he secretly complained, "This is really a little ancestor!", but greeted him with a smile, "Master Fang! Please worry about this matter!"

"I want to interrogate Huo Tailing!" Fang Shu had only this sentence, and he asked his guards to stand outside the door.

Duan Ning and others led the way, and they came to the underground prison. As soon as they went down the stone steps, there was a smell of decay, and the damp and blood were everywhere.Fang Shu quickened his pace and rushed forward. There were only a few cells here. The cell doors were forged from refined iron, guarded by heavy-helmed soldiers.

Across two empty prisons, Fang Shu's eyes flicked left and right, he stopped, he held his breath, his eyes widened, he looked at the man in the prison, his hair was disheveled, he was filthy, he couldn't recognize his facial features, and his clothes were in tatters body, with numerous bloodstains from whipping, and his right leg had been cut off, but was simply bandaged to stop the bleeding.

The man heard a voice, one made a babbling sound, and struggled violently, Fang Shu tentatively called out: "Tai Ling...".

The man struggled more violently and began to roar, Fang Shu saw that his tongue had been pulled out of his mouth, he moved too much, and the chain on his wrist was jingling non-stop.

Fang Shu felt a sudden cardiac arrest and shook the iron door vigorously, "Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!!"

Yang Tong stepped forward quickly, "Master Fang! Are you interrogating Master Huo or Zhu Zhao?!"

Duan Ning ran forward, panting, "Master Fang, you can run so fast! The old man almost missed, Mr. Huo is still inside! This is the candlelight! Ouch..."

Fang Shu held in a long breath, and now he was completely relieved.

He lifted his legs and walked back.

"Master Duan... didn't you tell you not to bother me?" Huo Tailing held a piece of iron in his mouth, sat on the ground and buried himself in assembling a small cannon barrel, without looking up.

Fang Shu looked at the man with disheveled hair on the ground, and fiddled with his firearm, which made a crackling noise.

"Taiwan order..." He was afraid that he had mistaken the person again.

Huo Tailing raised his head abruptly, facing Shang Fangshu's tightly knit eyes, Huo Tailing got up, pulled his hair, straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, and asked, "Why are you here?!"

Fang Shu saw that half of his face had a black beard, "Come here."

Huo Tailing stepped forward with his hands behind his back, "What's wrong?"

Fang Shu saw that he was walking upright and breathing steadily, and then looked at his prison. In addition to the subway, soil, and some wooden stakes for practicing martial arts, there was a low wooden couch, and the quilt on the couch was sent by Fang Shu that day. silk quilt.

Huo Tailing noticed where his eyes were, and said: "Huang Yong sent it, he said it was sent by you... um... it's quite comfortable."

Duan Ning and his party also followed, "Tai Ling, this Mr. Fang... Mr. Fang is now the imperial envoy investigating Bailian and Hongfeng! He is here to interrogate you!"

Huo Tailing sighed, "What are you doing wading in this muddy water?!", and then thought for a moment, "Forget it, it's just wrong."

Huo Tailing looked up again but saw Fang Shu's eyes were slightly red, he was silent for a while, "Don't cry here."

"Lord Duan, Yang Tong, you go out first..." Huo Tailing waved his hands to them.

Duan Ning: "Don't delay too long, you have many eyes and ears..." and instructed Yang Tong to open the door.

After speaking, he withdrew.

"What's the situation?!" Fang Shu couldn't wait to open the door and entered the cell after seeing them go out, "Master Duan, they are all yours? What kind of tricks are you playing?!"

"You have too many questions, let's ask them one by one." Huo Tailing reached out and brushed his red eyelids, "I heard that you were almost executed as an assassin last night, but you almost didn't. I am happy to die, is the civil service life too boring? Come here for excitement?"

Fang Shu gritted his teeth tightly, and opened his hand forcefully, "You stink! Stay away from me!"

The hand that was slapped stopped in the air, and touched the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Hey, why haven't I seen you for half a month, and you are so fierce again!", and sat down and flipped his gun.

Suddenly an external force was applied to the hand, and the firearm fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces, and the sulfur charcoal was scattered all over the ground.

"What are you doing?! I have been doing it for a long time! I was kicked by you!"

Fang Shu squatted down, lowered his head, and pressed his temples with his hands, "I..." After another deep breath, he slowly went to collect the pile of scrap metal, "Sorry... I'm sorry..."

Fang Shu's complexion is too bad, a majestic jade tree has turned into frost and dry branches, Huo Tailing's anger suddenly dissipated most of it.

"Don't accept it. Fortunately, I drew the blueprint." Huo Tailing pulled him over and sat on the low couch, "Seeing that you are not in good spirits, let me tell you something urgent, about the location where the White Lotus Society's gold and silver are hidden .”

Fang Shu's mood stabilized a lot. After listening to him quietly, he asked, "If you got out of Zhuzhao, did you pull out his tongue?"

"I'm afraid he's talkative."

"Then why did you let him talk nonsense about your collusion with the Red Feudal Sect?"

"I did it on purpose. I had a conversation with Mr. Duan and revealed it to him, making him think that I have something to do with the Hongfeng sect."

"Why?!"

"A few days ago, due to the chaos in Bozhou, Shen Yiguan has been recommending me and Mr. Li to go to Bozhou to quell the chaos. Shen Yiguan is just worried that I have colluded with you, which is not good for him, and wants to move the tiger away from the mountain to deal with you alone..."

"I don't understand……"

"You just need to know that now we have a common enemy—Shen Yiguan."

"Oh...so that's how it is..." Fang Shu laughed at himself, "But there's no need to disregard your own safety. The emperor asked Chen Ju to investigate the matter..."

"He's one of his own, too."

"What?! Dongchang and you?" The amount of information was too much, which directly confused Fang Shu, "Aren't you incompatible?"

"It's just that the forces under Chen Ju don't tolerate me, and they don't tolerate him too much. I'm trying my best to help him eradicate dissidents. If something happens to me, he will have a hard time too."

Fang Shu was not happy, but even more worried, "If you are like this... if the emperor finds out, it will not end well. He will not allow people to form cliques for personal gain and try to expand power!"

Huo Tailing's eyes were unclear, and he smiled wryly for a moment.

"Shouldn't you be happy? You don't have much power, how can you avenge your concubine? How can you show a bitter and bitter expression?"

"I never thought about revenge...I just want to find justice." Fang Shu put his hand on him, "No matter what your reason is, stop secretly accumulating energy."

Just a snort, seeming to be disdainful, Huo Tailing repeatedly put his hands on his hands, "I just want everyone in the world to look at me."

Fang Shu looked at him straight, his eyes flicked on his face, he was looking for something, he looked at every pore, every beard, it was too unfamiliar, he still had nothing for this person in front of him, and he was wishful thinking.

"You... tell me this, you trust me too much..."

Huo Tailing reached out to touch the back of his ear, it was a little itchy, Fang Shu wanted to hide, but he grabbed the back of his neck with one hand, "You here... will fascinate you, every time you brush while doing it, you are the most charming. "

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Fang Shu couldn't break free, and let him handle him, thinking that his eyes were full of anger, but in Huo Tailing's eyes, he was like a coquettish kitten, whose outstretched paws never scratched himself.

He noticed the change in Huo Tailing's eyes, and hurriedly stopped him, "This is a prison! Yang Tongyi and the others are still guarding outside! Don't mess around!"

These concerns were not taken seriously by Huo Tailing.

"There just happens to be a couch here...I haven't seen him for half a month, I think about it very much...don't refuse me."

At the beginning of Qinglang's refusal, the love still persists, hooking his neck, covering his neck and moistening his tongue.

A little spark turns into a prairie fire, but two strokes of lovesickness are silent.

I don't know where Jingshuang passed away, but it is suspected to be floating in the spring water.

Turning it upside down and playing it three times, whispering the beast's roar to the five corridors.

When Fang Shu came back to his senses, he picked up the inner jacket that he had just used as a cloth mat, covered the speckled spots, put on his coat, and looked back at Huo Tailing, who was still lying on the couch, staring at himself, feeling out of breath , "I just heard that someone came here, Mr. Duan obviously made a long story short, my... this reputation was muddied by you!!"

"I don't recognize people when I lift up my pants, nothing has changed... My face is radiant after being moisturized... Blame me instead, I haven't had the best time yet..." Huo Tailing took off the sheep's intestines, encased a bag of offspring, The dust handle is still standing proudly.

"When did you get the intestines..." Fang Shu's cheeks were flushed, most of them were ashamed.

"Isn't it the last time I had a tryst with you..."

Looking back on that time, Fang Shu guessed it was when he met He Shengwen.

"It's wrapped in this thing, it's very uncomfortable..." After finishing speaking, Huo Tailing showed his grievance, "I'm going to leave after you sleep."

"Five days at most...I'll try to get you out of here..." Fang Shu was fully dressed and opened the door to go out.

"If my concubine comes here every night... I don't have to go out, it's pretty quiet here."

Fang Shu ignored him and prepared to lock it.

"You...you came here because you were worried about me, right? Master Duan already said..."

Fang Shu slammed the door violently, and glared at him, "To see if you're dead!"

Turning around the prison corridor not far away, I saw Yang Tong standing upright with a sword in his arms, with a blank expression on his face, "Master Fang has timed out! It should have been a stick of incense at most..."

The ashes were scattered all over the ground.

"Where's Master Duan?" Fang Shu suppressed his embarrassment and pretended to be expressionless.

Yang Tong took the lead along the way, and his tone was emotionless, "Master Duan is busy with other things, it's getting late, I have already notified the people in your house, they are waiting at the door."

"Thank you!"

As soon as he went out, he only saw Qi Naozi, and he quickly stepped forward, "Master Fang, I haven't seen you for a day, and he was promoted to be an imperial envoy again! It's a promotion!"

"Is there any news from Orleans?"

I had a chat with Zhanyu before and heard him mention that his wish is to be an ordinary pharmacist, and he prefers the dangerous mountains and high mountains in Sichuan and Shu, so he just took the position in the matter, and checked the nearly six households in the household department under the name of Jingcha. The yellow book has changed over the years, and after two nights of screening the list, there are really dozens of people who meet the conditions.

Fang Shu asked him to take the Ji family brothers and sisters to Sichuan and Shu to investigate Zhanyu's whereabouts.

"No... What a joy it is to take the two girls on a tour! Where do you still remember you?"

"Don't be sour and provocative, go back quickly, I'm very tired."

The origin of the Red Feudal Sect will not be known unless it is investigated. It is really an eye-opener to investigate. This party is extremely hidden, and its members are also obscure. Six years ago, the Jingcha and the others even intervened. Maybe the teachers have participated in politics now. The person Shu is most suspicious of is Concubine Zheng's elder brother, Zheng Guotai, who must be inextricably linked to the Red Feudal Sect.

If it is said that the former Nine Lotus Sect made money from the Jianghu, then what the Red Seal Sect gained was the power of the court.

Six years ago in Jingcha, Zheng Guotai had close ties with many officials as the uncle of the country. After that, everyone who had contact with him gained power, including Shen Yiguan, and those who were hostile to his power were demoted or dismissed Among them was Gu Chengxian.

Since then, officials from the imperial court have been ordered to die at home or disappear from time to time. This red feudal sect is a murderous tool of a certain force.

Just thinking about how to start with Zheng Guotai, God threw an olive branch.
