When he left the prison door, under the dim candlelight, Pei Xuan nervously followed the prison head forward.

"My lord, someone brought it here."

Under the candlelight, there was a person sitting in front of the square table, and he raised his head upon hearing the words. He had a very unfamiliar face in Chinese characters, and he looked about forty years old.

"Mr. Pei, please sit down. Please trouble Mr. Zhao." He said and handed a purse to the jailer.

"It's easy to talk about." Zhao Tou took it and weighed it in his hand, then bowed and stepped back in satisfaction.

Afterwards, there were only him and Pei Xuan in the whole room.

There were two cups on the table, the Chinese character face poured tea for Pei Xuan, and said with a smile: "Young Master Pei, please sit down instead of standing."

Pei Xuan looked suspiciously at the face with Chinese characters for a while, frowned deeply, and finally sat down.

He didn't speak, and didn't touch the tea, the other party was not kind, but he was just a scholar, so he didn't know what else to do.

"I'm afraid Mr. Pei doesn't understand, why all the talented scholars have failed the list, but you are the only one on the list?"

That Chinese character face didn't seem to care about Pei Xuan's indifference, but just said it calmly.

Pei Xuan's heart skipped a beat, but he still didn't speak.

Guozilian smiled in a low voice and said, "Lord Lin is a man of integrity, and he is admirable for his righteousness and integrity. However, it is Mr. Pei who I admire more. If it weren't for you, how could His Royal Highness Liang have the last laugh, and how could His Royal Highness Shu fall short? , I think His Royal Highness the King of Shu failed because of the absence of a righteous person like you."

Even though he said that, Pei Xuan's ears were full of irony, and he lifted his fig leaf to expose his guilt every day to the sun.

His face was blue and white for a while, and finally turned red. Pei Xuan said ruthlessly: "Yes, I am indeed disobedient and arrogant. Today's ending is also my own fault. Did you come to ridicule me on purpose? Now , but are you satisfied?"

The Guozi face was not angry when he heard the words, but laughed, waved his hands to comfort him: "Mr. Pei, please be safe, don't be impatient. Today, I am not here to make trouble, but to help Mr. Pei."

"Help me?"

"Exactly, Mr. Pei has a brilliant literary talent. Even if he didn't cheat, he could still top the high school rankings. If His Highness King Liang hadn't been involved in the Huaizhou incident, he wouldn't have been arrested by the Ministry of Punishment and thrown into prison. It can be seen that he was wronged."

Pei Xuan glanced at him and said nothing.Guozilian disapproved, and continued, "The king of Liang has always protected his shortcomings. Wei Qian, who really cheated, has already been released on bail, but he was only confined to the Wei mansion. Mr. Pei thinks about how he would be treated like this if it were not for the wife and uncle of the king of Liang. Poor Mr. Pei It’s also a way to build a bridge for King Liang, and he’s also known as a teacher, and now he’s in deep prison, but King Liang turns a blind eye to it, it’s just a sentence, it’s really chilling, isn’t it?”

"What exactly do you want to say?" Pei Xuan's heartbeat gradually accelerated, these three sentences were inseparable from King Liang, and suddenly a thought came up, "You are from the King of Shu."

"Haha... Mr. Pei has good eyesight."

Guozi smiled happily, seeing Pei Xuan's face darken, he said: "My master likes your talent, and this prison sentence is really unfair, so I let you come here."

No matter how naive Pei Xuan is, he would never believe this kind of nonsense. He just said lightly: "There are as many talented people in the world as crucian carp crossing the river. Pei Xuan, a scholar, somehow got into the eyes of the king of Shu. I wish I could die."

"Hey... Mr. Pei's words are wrong. His Highness the King of Shu is not an unreasonable person. You and I are the masters of each other. There is no enmity. Because Mr. Pei is loyal to the King of Liang, it is not easy to take love with a knife. But looking at it now with a cold eye, Liang Wang has no intention of making a move, just now he sent me to check on Mr. Pei, would you be willing to choose a good tree to live in?"

Changing the course, is good wood such a good place to live?

"What does the King of Shu want me to do?"

Guozilian slapped his hands together and said hello, "Young Master Pei is a straightforward person, let me talk about it. In the case of Huaizhou, His Royal Highness King Shu's hard work was wasted, but the family of King Liang was safe and sound, and even more prosperous. From the beginning, if it is pure and innocent, it will be fine. They are also in the same ranks, ignorant of money and greedy for money, and even worse because of the lack of suppression by the officials of the King of Shu. But he is worried. Prince Rui is about to lead troops to the northern border, but the treasury is still empty. If he wants to come to the south of the Yangtze River again, the money, food and grass should be settled. Mr. Pei Gao Yi will definitely understand that even if the king of Shu is out of selfishness, Things that benefit the country and the people."

Pei Xuan was no longer an ignorant young man, he was taken aback, and admired this man's eloquent tongue, but no amount of words could hide the deep ambition behind the King of Shu.

"Mr. Pei knows that Mr. Lin left a ledger before his death. Every pen and pen is evidence. If Mr. Pei can get it..."

Pei Xuan gradually clenched his hand under the table, and said softly, "I don't know where I am."

"Mr. Pei was joking. It wasn't a short time since I saw you entered Prince Rui's mansion that day. I think the relationship with Mr. Lin Xi as a senior brother still exists..."

Before the Chinese character face was finished, Pei Xuan suddenly stood up and said sharply: "Don't bring Xi'er into this, he doesn't know anything!"

The categorical warning immediately echoed in the dim place, and the Chinese-character face froze for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, and gradually put away his smile. Looking at Pei Xuan's upright look, he sneered for a while, and asked: "If you don't know, the Lin Family How can I not find any clues in the book? If I don’t know, how did Mr. Lin get the notebook? It’s still in the folder of the travel notes? If I don’t know, the imperial envoy will go to Liangzhou immediately after leaving? If I don’t know, how will Mr. Pei face Lin? The young master blames you and feels guilty?"

Pei Xuan opened his mouth, unable to refute. He thought of Lin Xi's words when he knelt outside Lin Qing's study in the scorching sun, the resolute look when he handed the notes to him, the conversation in Prince Rui's mansion...his junior brother seemed to be indifferent to everything. I don't know, but it's clear!

"This Mr. Lin is not simple. We searched through the Lin residence in Huaizhou, and even the Marquis of Yongning did not find any sign of the ledger."

"So you came to me..." Pei Xuan's mouth was bitter.

"Yes, everyone takes what they need. If Mr. Pei can get the ledger from Mr. Lin and let the king of Shu appear to the emperor, it will be a great help. I will help you out of this prison, and the status of Jinshi will still be retained. I regret that I don’t want to be loyal to the king of Shu, but I can still take part in the palace examination in a dignified manner, and how about being a neutral official in the future? It is not a matter of harming others or yourself, and it is not against righteousness, right? It is impossible to say that Master Lin has a spirit in heaven , I would also like to see this group of corrupt officials sacked one after another.”

Pei Xuan's face turned pale, especially pale under the dim candlelight.

"How do you know...the account book must be in Xi'er's hands...he is not in good health, the teacher never bears to make him worry too much...how could he entrust this hot thing to him...instead of..."

After all, the words of muttering got stuck on the lips. Who can believe it, who can't believe it, no matter what the student can't be regarded as a son.

"It must be on Mr. Lin Xi, if not, he knows where it is." Guo Zi said firmly.

Although Pei Xuan said he didn't believe it, he had already confirmed it in his heart, and then he asked self-deprecatingly: "What if I don't want to?"

With a square face, he lifted the tea that Pei Xuan hadn't drunk, and smashed it to the ground with a "slap".

"Then we can't do anything, so I have to ask Mr. Lin to shut up, and don't speak again for the rest of our lives. We will find the account book slowly, and we will always find it."

The crisp sound seemed to explode in Pei Xuan's heart, he stared dumbfounded at the fragments on the ground, "You... how dare you, he is the grandson of Marquis Yongning!"

Guozi smiled contemptuously, "Hehe, what is the Marquis of Yongning, he is just a fallen Marquis. How could he still make trouble with our lord because of a Biao Young Master who lives under his roof? Originally, he was afraid of Prince Rui, but this His Highness is about to march north , Even if you want to protect it, you will be too far away."

It's all done!

Pei Xuan's palms were covered with cold sweat.

And in Lanyuexuan

Since Zhao Jingyi said that he had something important to discuss with Lin Xi, Chongjintang naturally didn't say much. What Mrs. Tai could think of was that because the prince was about to leave Beijing, there was always something to explain about Zhao Yuanrong, so she ordered the small kitchen Bring some food over to let the two have fun.

But it never occurred to her that because Mrs. Yin Tai didn't ask and didn't stop her, her well-behaved grandson was being eaten away by Prince Rui bit by bit.

Then a storm came and pushed Lin Xi directly into Zhao Jingyi's arms. Facing the coming wave, their relationship quickly heated up.

Zhao Jingyi, who stayed for lunch, was also thinking about this issue.

He may not care about gossip, but about Lin Xi, he can never make people feel wronged.

Looking up at the young man who was eating with peace of mind, Zhao Jingyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it would be great if they were both men and they could get married, if they just married in, nothing would happen.

But no matter how you think about it, it's still too early now. Although Lin Xi was slowly caught, Zhao Jingyi knew that the relationship between the two was not stable.

Of course, this is not allowed, but the damn thing is that he is going to the north!

Thinking of this, Zhao Jingyi felt extremely regretful that he did not catch Samul that day, and felt helpless towards a group of cowards in the court!

"Xi'er."

Hearing a call, Lin Xi put down his chopsticks and bowl, took a sip of the soup, swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

That innocent expression made Zhao Jingyi scratch his head and scratch his head, but he said solemnly: "The matter of the account book needs to be resolved as soon as possible, this kind of thing is impossible to prevent, since someone in the Hou's mansion is already eyeing you, then the Hou's mansion is no longer safe. Have you ever considered moving out...to the palace?"

What Zhao Jingyi said was reasonable, but Lin Xi couldn't help but blush a little, and said, "I will think about it, but I believe that my grandmother and two uncles would not use such low-level methods to spy on me. Since I am here , since there is no reason to move out immediately, otherwise, how can the uncle hold his head up, even the poor and helpless nephew will not be tolerated? Besides, the Baijia Academy will start soon, and I am afraid that I will not have many days to live in the Hou's mansion. Don't worry, my lord. , I still have the ability to protect myself."

It seems that the most important thing is to send the son over to hold him.

"Forget it, I will leave a team of hidden guards for you. If there is an urgent matter, let them do it. Remember, don't leave the house without your only son. Now is a time of tension. I will think about how to deal with the account book. Deal with it, don’t act rashly before that, but remember.”

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand."

Speaking of this, the four eyes met each other, and after a long time, Zhao Jingyi said in a low voice: "Can you call me by my name? Don't call me Wang Ye anymore?"

Hearing that Lin Xi blushed and blinked, Zhao Jingyi looked straight at him, as if saying to call, only after calling can he feel at ease.

Lin Xi lowered her head slowly, and after a while she whispered, "I can't remember your words..."

The embarrassing voice became smaller and smaller, Zhao Jingyi closed his eyes, "Be careful, it comes from the meaning of being cautious and cautious."

"..." Lin Xi's eyes flickered.

Zhao Jingyi stared straight at it, which made Lin Xi feel pressured.

After opening his mouth for a long time, he finally spit out the word "Jin", when he heard someone shouting at the door: "Master, the concierge said that there is a book boy who calls himself Pei Xuan asking to see him."

As soon as the words were finished, half of Zhao Jingyi's face turned dark, seeing Lin Xi who was "fortunately not going on", the other half also turned dark.
