It's not good to be a courtier

After a night of ups and downs, Feng Yan seemed to be immersed in sweet honey, those things that he only dared to imagine in his dreams all became reality, and it was not until the east was white that the tent became quiet.Those star-studded pupils never closed, they just quietly looked at Feng Yan who was lying sideways and breathing lightly, with a cold smile on his brows.

The window "clicked", and the man in black knelt on the ground silently, "Master, it's time to go."

Murong Qi turned over, looked at Feng Yan with nostalgia, and pulled back the curtain. The place behind him was probably more damaged, but yesterday's incident happened suddenly and in a hurry.He still stood up as usual, without the slightest sign of being injured, "Have you found it?"

"The people who went there didn't come back," the man in black bowed his head. "The subordinates suspect that Feng Zhang is nearby."

Murong Qi fastened the knots of his clothes, "From now on, all the sparrow guards will retreat outside the city, and hand this thing over to Liu Xing of the Eastern Realm, he knows what to do."

"My lord, at least let my subordinates..." Que Shou said anxiously, "Most of the people in the city are Xianbei people, and Feng Zhang is also in the city."

Murong Qi raised his hand to stop his words, closed his eyes and remained silent.Queshou paused for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "Your subordinate obeys orders." After speaking, he took the jade in his hand, and left as quietly as when he came.

In the morning, all the people in the county government were frantic. Last night, there was a fire in Linfangyuan. It took them a long time to put it out. They didn't expect Feng Yan to disappear when they counted the number of people.After almost turning Lin Fangyuan over, he found an imperceptible secret door on the second floor.

As soon as he entered the room, there was a greasy fragrance in the room, and Feng Yan fell asleep quietly on the couch.The thin monkey threw himself on the couch and said pleasantly, "Boss, are you alright?"

Feng Yan seemed to be lying securely on the couch, motionless, the thin monkey shook him for a long time before he slowly opened his eyes, his head was so heavy that he could hardly lift it up.Feng Yan hugged the ground that was about to explode, took a deep breath and said, "What happened? My head..." He frowned, buried his head, which was as heavy as a stone, in his arms, and many intermittent words flashed through his mind. The picture, but because it flashed too fast, I didn't catch anything.

"Boss, we searched for you last night. We searched Linfang Garden inside and out, but we couldn't find you." The thin monkey looked at the pale Feng Yan with fear. Although he was only wearing white single clothes, Fortunately, it was not messy, the mattresses on the couch were stacked neatly, he threw himself on Feng Yan, and said in a crying voice: "Boss, fortunately you are fine, if something happens to you, how can I explain to my sister-in-law. "

Feng Yan pressed his swollen temples, feeling that something important had been overlooked. Liu Zhixing looked at his appearance, pulled the thin monkey up and said, "Boss looks uncomfortable, you have to blame yourself and go to the side. How about it, What kind of medicine did you take?"

Feng Yan shook his head, his mind went blank, he couldn't remember anything, and said blankly, "Last night... there was a fire in the garden last night, and then..." He shook his head, unable to remember anything, so he had to give up first, " Nothing happened?"

"Except for your sudden disappearance, everything else is fine," what did Liu Zhixing say, when a scream came from the room not far from the next door, and the second floor was suddenly in chaos, Liu Zhixing hurried out to check, and when he came back, his face was very bad, " Boss, something happened, Qi Pharo died."

The thin monkey got up immediately, "How could this be? When we checked the night in the early morning, there was still..." He swallowed, and turned to look at Feng Yan.

"Block the news and shut down Jicheng. Linfangyuan is under martial law, and everyone can only enter and cannot enter." Feng Yan raised his eyes and looked at the thin monkey, "We don't have much time, we must catch the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise..." That look was meaningful, The thin monkey nodded heavily.

When the matter was reported to Fu Yuwen, the old man was uncharacteristically silent, and after a long while he said: "The more you hide, the more mistakes you make, I will report to the court immediately, Qi Pharo's death is not trivial, according to the usual practice, the court will send a special envoy to investigate the matter," said Wan waved his hand and told everyone to go out.

Feng Yan and the foreman Han Chenzai carefully inspected Qi Pharo's body. The death was normal, and the knife pierced through the heart with almost no pain.It's just that the death was rather embarrassing, with not a single thread on his body, when the incident happened, the young master named Yao'er was sleeping soundly next to him, so he didn't know anything. When he woke up, he was shocked, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Han Chen cleaned his hands, and said to the county servants present: "The general situation is like this. Although the murderer is clean and neat, it can be judged that he is not a master of any school. What we are looking for should be an ordinary person. There are some people in the incense burner in the room to add to the fun." The powder is mixed with some sleep-promoting herbs, the situation is not complicated, but as far as it is concerned, there is no clue."

A group of people were discussing the case in the room, and Kecha Khan was yelling outside. When Feng Yan walked outside, Kecha Khan glared at him and shouted: "What is there to investigate? It is clearly the work of the Yan people." , Qi Fuluo just went to Dayan as an envoy, and I heard that he had a bad fight with the emperor of Dayan, and this is the Yan people's revenge."

Feng Yan glanced at him, ignored him, and turned to leave.Kecha Khan raised his finger, pointed at Feng Yan, and said sharply: "You are from Dayan, you are a spy of Dayan. Only you disappeared last night. It was you, it must be you!"

Feng Yan turned to look at Kechahan, and before he could speak, the thin monkey said angrily: "Kechahan, you are so anxious to find out who the murderer is, because you are afraid that the imperial court will send a special envoy!"

Kechahan's face turned red immediately, and he said sharply: "The little one shared the worries of the adults, but the adults reprimanded the young ones instead. Could it be that the adults want to cover up the murderer? Bi'er can testify that Feng Yan is a real Nanman .”

He Chen turned into that unworldly boy again, he looked at Feng Yan with red eyes in embarrassment, "My lord, Bi'er too... Your lord heard that Bi'er played the pipa, and at that time Bi'er played the famous song of Dayan, Master Feng is very familiar with this, but Bi'er is not sure..."

The thin monkey immediately said: "Who hasn't heard a little Nanqu, Kechahan, what do you mean, asking such a boy to testify, what's on An's mind?" As he said that, he was about to rush forward, and Kechahan was surrounded by thugs. , The two sides confronted each other for a while, and the situation fell into a stalemate.

"Don't look for the murderer, what are you all doing!" Fu Yuwen let out an angry roar, and hurried in from the outside, Feng Yan bowed aside, and Liu Zhixing briefly explained what had happened.Fu Yuwen glanced at Feng Yan, frowned and said: "Since he asked, you can tell me where you went last night and whether there is anyone to testify."

A group of people moved to another place, Fu Yuwen sat at the top, Feng Yan sat at the bottom, and Ke Chahan sat opposite him, glaring at each other, Feng Yan said: "Last night, the fire started, the subordinates were caught in the smoke, woke up It was in the small building behind Linfang Garden."

"That is to say, Master Feng doesn't know where he went or what he did," Kechahan immediately caught the conversation, "If you want me to say, Master Feng, don't pretend. I just found out, Master Feng In the past, I had some relationship with Feng Yong, the general of Yan State's northern border town, and fled to Jicheng because of a crime in the northern border. If there is really someone here who can kill the envoy quietly, it must be you."

Fu Yuwen looked at Feng Yan expressionlessly, "I don't ask about the relationship between you and Feng Yong, just explain what happened last night clearly. If you can't explain clearly, in order to set the record straight..."

Feng Yan lowered his eyes and was silent. Someone outside the door scolded, and then someone outside the door reported that there was an important witness.Feng Yan watched the tall and thin man come in from the door, his heart moved slightly, and he narrowed his eyes.Kocha Khan said to him: "Did you see something, tell me quickly, was he the one who sneaked into the special envoy's room last night?"

The man shook his head timidly, and Kechahan said urgently, "What did you see, tell me!" The man carefully glanced at Feng Yan, and said in a low voice, "Last night, Mr. Feng and Mr. Feng were together." Feng Yan raised his head suddenly, and there was an uproar in the audience, with all kinds of expressions and eyes.

The thin monkey looked at Feng Yan in shock and then at the man. The man was afraid that what he said was not strong enough, "If you don't believe me, you can find someone to do a body check for the young one. The young one was broken by Mr. Feng last night."

The audience fell into an eerie silence, and the thin monkey's eyes could almost shoot fire. Feng Yan sat under the guard and looked at the man calmly, "Han Wuzuo, please come in with me and see if it's as he said. "

Han Chen came out from behind, drooping his eyes and cleaning his hands, Feng Yan led the man behind the screen, the man took off his pants expressionlessly, and turned his back to them expressionlessly.It was the first time for Han Chen to encounter such a situation. He coughed and said "I'm offended". Just as he was about to go up, the man turned and glanced at Feng Yan.

Feng Yan said: "Let me do it," without hesitation, parting the man's plump flesh, and was immediately taken aback by the shocking wound.With just one glance, Feng Yan immediately turned around and came out. Han Chen came out and cupped his hands and said to the guard: "It is true that the damage at the back is...a bit serious as this person said. There are indeed traces of excessive love on the body, it should be..." He He raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Yan, "However, I can't be sure that this is what Mr. Feng did, I can only say...cough cough cough..."

"Master Feng has three moles on his shoulder blade, and on his leg," the man put on his clothes and came out, glanced at Feng Yan and said in a low voice, "There is also a mole on the inner wall of the leg," everyone gasped in unison, this is a scandal ah.Feng Yan scanned the crowd, and everyone looked at their noses, noses, noses, and hearts, and immediately became ascetic. He said lightly: "There is no need to test this, it is exactly as he said," and the audience fell into silence again.

The guard coughed, "Since Feng Yan has an alibi, the murderer must be someone else, and you are limited to give me an explanation within three days. For things like... things like today, just know it yourself, don't worry about it." It's so...everyone knows."

Feng Yan still sat firmly on the bench, seeing the guard standing up, he also got up and said: "This subordinate will definitely do his best, and will not let the murderer go."

The guard took a deep look at him, trembling his lips for a while, unable to utter a word, and walked away with a bit of resentment.The thin monkey looked at Feng Yan and then at the man with red eyes, "You..." Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and left.Liu Zhixing and Han Chen couldn't hold back their old faces for a while, they cupped their hands at Feng Yan and followed them away. They dispersed in twos and threes in the lobby, and after a while, only Feng Yan and the man were left.

When things got into such a mess, Kechahan would not let that man go back to Linfang Garden. Feng Yan took him back to his residence, and was about to close the door to boil water, when the skinny monkey came out from nowhere, and said sullenly: "Just Bring him back like this, why don't you explain to your sister-in-law, why don't you go to me."

"Don't make any trouble, your father can let him in," Feng Yan said angrily, "You go back first, you are not needed here. He just lives here temporarily, and he will leave when he heals his injuries."

The thin monkey scratched his head and said, "Did he follow you early in the morning, and made you look so ugly in front of everyone today? Han Wuzuo said that looking at your face in the morning, he might have been drugged, didn't he?" He has ulterior motives, I don’t think it’s appropriate for him to live here, especially what happened to you just now,” Feng Yan said as he entered the door confidently, ignored him, and went into the room to open the window.No one lived there for several days, and there was a smell in the house.

The thin monkey took advantage of Feng Yan's time to light the fire, sat on the chair beside the couch and said solemnly: "I can tell you, my boss has a wife and a daughter, and you have no hope of following him, even... that's just a moment of confusion on his part."

The man hung his head and said nothing.Feng Yan came in with a teapot and said to the thin monkey: "You are not needed here, go back to patrol quickly, I will arrange to find you later."

"Hey, then I'll go first, boss, come quickly." The thin monkey walked to the door, looked at the man worriedly, saw him glance over, and immediately gave him a sharp warning, and was blasted by Feng Yan. Li slapped him on the forehead, "Hurry up!" Then he covered his forehead and walked away grinning.

Feng Yan poured a glass of water and put it in the man's hand, then took out the quilt from the cabinet and spread it out, and said while making the bed, "I met him when I first came to Jicheng, and he introduced me. In the past three years, the county government has taken good care of me. You will sleep here for a few days, and I will stay in the dormitory at night."

The man looked down at his toes and said softly, "Last night...I didn't lie..."

"I know," Feng Yan looked up at him, then turned and went to the kitchen to see how the bath water was boiling.After working for a long time, the man put Feng Yan's underwear on loosely, and walked out of the water room with his long wet hair hanging on the towel. Feng Yan gathered the towel and wrung his hair dry, and took out a small The iron box said generously: "You lie there, I will put some medicine on your back, you can't see." The man rubbed his hair clumsily with his hands, the tips of his ears were red, and murmured: "I... I will do it myself……"

Feng Yan pushed the mattress to the side, patted the couch under his hands, "Lie here, I have to go to the Yamen as soon as I finish taking the medicine." The man hesitated for a moment, then slowly lay down, Feng Yan lifted his Undershirt, trousers torn off, there is a shocking red between the white petals, "I'm so sorry last night, I don't remember at all," Feng Yan took a lump of green ointment and slowly applied it, with a focused and careful expression, then The man put his face in the pillow, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, the wound was covered with green ointment, Feng Yan tidied up everything and said to him: "Go to sleep for a while, I will come back to cook at night."

The man nodded, and lay obediently on the couch, as if he was extremely tired. After he closed his eyes for a while, he started to breathe lightly. Feng Yan stared at his peaceful sleeping face for a long time, smiled, and moved lightly. out.The door was gently closed, and the man opened his eyes, without any sleepiness in his eyes, quietly staring at the door in a daze.

In the evening, Feng Yan brought back a piece of meat from the market and prepared several dishes. The man picked up three bowls of rice with the vegetables and was eating happily. Han Chen stepped in from the door with several dishes in his hand. Packing the medicine, when he saw them eating, he cupped his hands and said: "Unfortunately, this is the medicine that the adults ordered, and I brought it."

Feng Yan got up to greet him, he put down the medicine, quietly pulled Feng Yan out, coughed and said: "His back injury is not suitable for eating these, try to drink porridge."

Feng Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, "I was negligent, thank you Mr. Han."

Han Chen nodded, thought for a while and said: "This person is thinking, sir, you should pay more attention. There is a smell of wind chimes in that room, and your heart is kind, but there is no need to..." Han Chen arched his head when the words came to an end. Hands over, turned and left.

Feng Yan went to the kitchen to cook some porridge, packed up and was ready to go back to the county office. The man lingered at the door, quietly watching him go about his business. , don’t go anywhere, just stay here until I’m done.”

The man nodded, suddenly grabbed his arm and said awkwardly: "I...you don't have to..."

"Don't worry, I can handle it well," Feng Yan patted him on the shoulder, "I'm leaving..."

As soon as Feng Yan entered the county office, he saw the thin monkey standing at the door with a sad face, circling around like an ant on a hot pot. When Feng Yan came back, he greeted him and said solemnly: "Xianbei's special envoy has arrived. , it is Tuobaying, Princess Nalan who is difficult to deal with."

Tuobaying?Feng Yan's complexion slowly sank, it seemed that the calmness maintained on the surface would be broken, and Wanniang could no longer stay by his side, and his fate and fortune were just short-lived, so why bother others.

Before dawn the next day, Feng Yan gently pushed the door open and entered the room. The man sat motionless by the bed, with the mattress unrolled, curled up his legs and quietly looked in the direction of the door. Di Xingguang said happily: "You, you are back, I just woke up."

"Oh," Feng Yan closed the door slowly, walked to the side of the couch, unfolded the mattress, and stuffed him in, who was cold all over, covering half of his body by the way, and the two of them leaned on the couch, Feng Yan's back was facing He said lightly: "Sleep, I won't go."

The man moved behind him and stopped talking. After a while, there was a gentle breathing sound.The moment Feng Yan just pushed the door open, Feng Yan seemed to have returned to the cold and silent Ziguang Palace. This room was soaked in loneliness, making people breathless, and his chest was filled with pain.

When the man woke up again, the hot porridge was already on the table. Feng Yan patted the padded stool beside him and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you."

The man walked up to him slowly and sat down, staring at the porridge in front of him with some embarrassment, Feng Yan picked up a pickle for him, "Clean up, I will take you out of the city in the afternoon, the city is not suitable for you."

"Going out of the city, where are you going?" The man looked up, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

"Go where you should go," Feng Yan took a sip of porridge, "Princess Nalan Tuobaying of Xianbei came to Jicheng, she came for the case of begging Buddha, but it must not be that simple."

The man's eyes flickered for a moment, he didn't answer, he hung his head to drink the porridge, and asked for a while, "I won't leave, is that okay?"

"You are very confident in yourself, you don't think she will recognize you, huh?" Feng Yan smiled, his eyes were more ridiculed, the man suddenly raised his head, there was no expression on his face, but he was pale and scary.

"Whose idea?" Feng Yan put down the bowl, held his face under his palm, and looked carefully at the bright red scar. There was no trace of flaws, and it was firmly attached to his face. Will he not recognize you? Or..." Feng Yan leaned closer to his ear, "Are you testing me?" The scorching breath hit his ear, making him tremble, and he knocked over the porridge bowl in a panic.
