The two of them left the Ministry of Justice and walked towards the west of the capital, where most of the rich and powerful's mansions were located.At this moment, the twilight is not yet over, there are still a few pedestrians and hawkers clearing the stalls on the avenue of Huajing.Shen Lin was still concerned about the case. Although he just shirked the mission of offending the prince, in fact he also knew that the most urgent task was to find the person who forged the letter.

"According to the strength of the scholars in the capital, there must be many people who can imitate such a letter." Shen Lin was troubled, "How should I find such a person? Maybe it is some staff member of the family, I can't check it The case has offended the emperor, and all the officials are angry, right?"

"The 竵碗 style is from the Northern Song Dynasty. The shape of the characters is Li, and the brushwork is seal. Later, Xiaozhuan gradually became less and less used. This style of writing has also been used in regular script, but today, few people learn it." Gu Huai said suddenly.

so?Shen Lin cast a questioning look at Gu Huai.

"It just so happens, but I know that there is a person who admires the calligraphy of the plaque to the utmost, and because of his poor family, he has been writing for others for a long time." Gu Huai continued.

Hearing this, Shen Lin paused, and after a long time, he slapped Gu Huai with a big chestnut. "Oh, young man, you've learned how to play tricks, it's really good, you've made progress!" Give another big chestnut.

Gu Huai was stunned by the two blows, and begged for mercy, "Master Shen, respect yourself!"

"Return to Mr. Shen? Return to self-respect?" Shen Lin gave two more chestnuts. Fortunately, this is a scholar from the Shen family, otherwise the ordinary Shen family would have killed Gu Huai, a weak scholar, with a few hammers. "Entering the Imperial Academy, but coming out with a sour and Confucian air, how can you return Master Shen?"

"Cousin." Gu Huai hurriedly moved away from Shen Lin, and helped the crooked hair crown on his head. "You have to be reasonable."

"Okay, okay, just don't make trouble. Then tell me, how sacred is this person?"

"This person..." Gu Huai took a big step forward, "I'll tell my cousin tomorrow!" As he spoke, he turned a corner and ran away.

Only then did Shen Lin realize that he had reached the fork where the two of them went home. Looking at Gu Huai's back, he gritted his teeth. Gu Sanyuan was so vengeful, he was really showing off.

Here, Gu Huai arrived home soon.Gu Huaineng and Shen Lin called each other cousins, so their family was naturally not that small.Not only is it not a small family, but the status of the Gu family is comparable to that of the Shen family.

Look at Gu Huai's grandfather, Duke of the First Rank of Wei, his wife Du was born in the Marquis of Tai'an, and she is the aunt of the current harem Huigui Concubine, so she is naturally dignified.The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei is naturally extraordinary, magnificent and magnificent. Although the gate is closed at this time, it does not hinder its splendor in the slightest.

The concierge quickly opened the door for Gu Huai. Inside the door was Gu Huai's book boy, Chang Min, waiting with a lantern. Seeing his young master, he immediately went up to greet him, "Master, you are back, Madam has been thinking about you."

"Didn't you send a letter to tell me you'll be back late?" Gu Huai felt a little guilty, "Can mother rest now?"

"Madam called Aunt Mei Zhu to ask you, young master, about two quarters of an hour ago. At that time, Madam hadn't rested yet, but now she doesn't know." Chang Min walked in front to lead the way. The courtyard where Gu Huai lived was very remote. There were not even small candles for lighting. Normally, if Gu Huai came home late, he would usually go to the gate after nightfall and wait for Gu Huai to come back to hold a candle for him.

While he was talking, he felt that Gu Huai behind him seemed to stop, "Master?"

Gu Huai stopped in place and looked at the courtyard where Mrs. Gu lived. After a long time, there was only a murmur, "...Let's do it another day."

Chang Min didn't hear clearly, so he asked, "Master, what did you say?"

"It's nothing." Gu Huai continued to walk forward, and at the same time ordered, "Chang Min, go and inform mother that I have returned home safely."

"But young master, I still have to illuminate for you..."

"The prophet's mother is important, are you still afraid that I won't get lost in this mansion?"

Chang Min had no choice but to obey his young master, but then he had an idea, and put the lantern in Gu Huai's hand, "Then young master, you should carry the lantern and use it, I'll go back as soon as I go!" After saying that, he ran straight to another place opened.Gu Huai laughed, Chang Min was afraid that he would lose his way.

Gu Huai was not in a hurry to go back to the house, so he wanted to watch the night from where he was, and wait for Chang Min to come back by the way.It was less than Xu time at this time, and the moon had just hung on the treetops, covered with a layer of gray night clouds.Suddenly, there was a scream in his ears, and the laughter of one person rang through his mind.

"Hahahahaha, I, Youwu, finally woke up!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Huai's heart relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "You slept for a long time."

The person who accompanied him during those countless days of soul wandering finally woke up, and the depression in Gu Huai's heart dissipated a lot.He died so miserably in his previous life, and when his soul was floating in the void, he suddenly met this... person who called himself "Youwu"?Gu Huai didn't quite understand this person calling himself the "power minister system", but it didn't prevent him from being grateful to You Wu for his company and for telling him the truth about his tragic death.

Now it suddenly came back to the dream, since the day Sanyuanji woke up until now, Gu Huai still seems to be in a dream, but You Wu said at the moment of his rebirth, "I don't have enough energy" and fell into a deep sleep, until today Finally hearing this person's voice, Gu Huai felt very relieved.

"Hahahahahaha, little Gu Huai, it seems that you have worked hard while I was away!" You Wu's voice sounded, "Before I knew it, I almost finished the first mission!"

"The first mission?" Gu Huai was at a loss when he saw a line of words suddenly appeared in front of him——

【Main task: Preliminary promotion 100: Get rid of Li Gang, the current right servant of the Ministry of Punishment; specific operation: abbreviated; achievement points: [-]. 】

"What is this?" Gu Huai was puzzled.

You Wu explained, "You may not be able to understand for the time being, you just need to tell me now, do you want revenge?"

The images of being bullied to death in the previous life reverberated in his mind for a long time. Gu Huai spread out his palms, and under the moonlight, it seemed that the palms were covered with blood.

The first one is Li Gang.He clenched his fists tightly again, and then held back his mind a little. "think."

"Then, now you complete a side mission as required." You Wu spoke again.

He only heard a "ding", and another line of words appeared in front of him——[Submission task: Hug thigh 10: Get close to the golden thigh of Dashang Dynasty.Specific operation: go to the rest point closest to the host to rest.Achievement points: [-]. 】

"Host?"

"This is the system's nickname for you, little Gu Huai, don't worry about the details!"

Gu Huai seemed to understand, he was standing in the atrium far away from the main house at this time, and there was a small pavilion beside it, guessing that this place was a little remote, and the servants in the mansion didn't even light the palace lanterns nearby .He thought that his friend would never deceive him, so he walked towards the pavilion, not complaining about the dust on the stone chair, and sat down with a flick of his sleeves.

But as soon as he sat down, Gu Huai noticed a strange smell, accompanied by a cold fragrance.A rapid breathing sound flashed by my ear, very weak, like a sound that I was suddenly startled and couldn't control, but it was fleeting.

This voice... sounds young.

Gu Huai was curious, but he curled his lips slightly, stood up again, and walked slowly around the stone table in the pavilion.You Wu teased him seriously, "The night is really good tonight, the moonlight is very clear."

"...But it's a bottle of wine and a beautiful woman." Gu Huai replied to You Wu, but in the eyes of others, it seemed that he was talking to himself. "It would be even better if there were some peanuts and millet."

"Master, do you still want to drink because of your drinking capacity?" Chang Min's voice suddenly came from afar, and Gu Huai was startled suddenly, his thoughts turned back and forth thousands of times in an instant, but he had already stepped out of the pavilion.

"You kid, your feet are fast."

"Ma'am, I heard that you took this troubled way back to the house, so let me hurry back to be your companion!" Chang Min took Gu Huai's lantern, "Master, what are you doing in the pavilion? Those girls and girls Lazy, no one has cleaned the place for a long time, I'm afraid it's not very clean."

"I saw a kitten." Gu Huai cast a sideways glance somewhere in the pavilion.

"Cat, where did you get the cat?" Chang Min was puzzled.

"Nothing, let's go."

"Yes, sir..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away, and a black figure jumped out of the small pavilion, flipped over the towering wall lightly, and disappeared in an instant.

Gu Huai chatted with his friends all night, but he roughly understood what the so-called "system" is. Liuqiu went to a small restaurant alone.

Of course, he can only think about this kind of suspicion in peace. The descendants of the marquis who are rooted and young will not speak indiscriminately. If they accidentally drop their ears on the partition wall, they will not let the Inspectorate show a lot of love. Family education is not strict.

It is difficult to be a descendant of the Marquis of the Dashang Dynasty!

"So a new day has begun." Shen Lin smiled, "If you don't sell Guanzi, it must be moldy, right?"

"Isn't the day coming to an end again?" Gu Huai pointed to the sun that had already dipped slightly to the west, "The one that should be moldy has already been moldy."

Today, Shen Lin applied to the emperor to second Gu Huai from the Imperial Academy to assist in handling the case. It has not been too long since the imperial examination, and the emperor still has a little impression of Gu Huai's status as a three-yuan talent for such a small sesame official, and he still recognizes his talent , but also happy to agree.Shen Lin's request for the memorial went smoothly, but later on, Li Gang blew up the censors because of the request for the prince's handwriting. After a round of verbal battles, the time was delayed by more than yesterday, and Gu Huai had to go to the Imperial Academy as usual. Dianmao, after going back and forth, it was too late for the two of them to gather together.

"I really didn't expect Li Gang to ask the prince for surgery directly in the early court." Shen Lin said "tsk tsk" twice, "A real man!"

Hearing this, Gu Huai chuckled lightly, "That's not it." It's just that there was some inexplicable meaning in the laughter.

"Hey, don't change the subject!" Shen Lin reacted, "Say, who is that person!"

Who is changing the subject?Gu Huai couldn't laugh or cry, "Actually, you must know that person."

"I know?"

"Remember, cousin, do you have a rare copy of the strange novel called "Where the Flute"?" Gu Huai asked.

Shen Lin immediately retorted, "Nothing! Don't listen to people talking nonsense!"

"Let me think about it, it seems to be placed on the third floor of the second bookshelf from the left in your study room, and the fourth from the left. The silk thread around the frame is slightly worn. I guess it is often read." Gu Huai caressed and said The non-existent beard opened his mouth with a smile.

This time Shen Lin retorted even more fiercely, "Just kidding, it's impossible! I've been hiding at the bottom of the vase in the study...ah!" He looked at Gu Huai's half-smiling eyes, and realized that he had been cheated. After being slightly annoyed, he smiled "...Really, serious nonsense."

You Wu said in Gu Huai's mind, "This person is interesting." Gu Huai just smiled and didn't respond.

"Okay, tell me, what happened to "Where the Flute"?"

"Haven't you noticed that the author of "Where the Flute" used the script?"

...has never been found.Shen Lin answered silently in his heart. In order to prevent his illiteracy from being exposed again, he immediately skipped to the point, "...So it is possible that he and the person who copied the letter are the same person?...By the way, what is the name of the author? ?”

Gu Huai thinks why everyone in the court always likes black Shen Lin, and the censors usually talk about Shen Lin if they have no subject to impeach. Some people were rejected by the circle of scholar-officials.Of course, the more important reason is that everyone feels that Shen Lin's becoming a third-rank official at a young age depends on his father.

As an aristocrat with a somewhat strong background, Gu Huai naturally had to scoff at this idea, but at this moment, he had a subtle feeling that "Shen Lin was hacked for no reason".

After all, the literati circle is very particular, and if there is no ink in their belly, they must pretend to be well-educated, and Gu Huai, as a leader in the pretending circle, knows this well.

"Remember you once said that your love for "Where the Flute" is endless?"

"Well, the weather today is really good, and the sun is very clear." Shen Lin looked at the sky, "Hey, speaking of that man's other basic novels are also very good, especially the "Ruan Langgui". Well, it was just a momentary thought. Excuse me, what is that man's name?"

Gu Huai could only act helplessly, "Okay. That person is—"

"Ah! I remember! Call—"

"Bamboo Houseman!"
