i am afraid

Different from previous years, this year the king will be extraordinarily cold. Even if the charcoal fire is lit and the ground dragon is laid out, he can still feel the cold air eroding his body inch by inch, especially in the chariot, as if the air he breathes carries With the chill penetrating into the bone marrow.

When it was cold, Jiang Yan didn't want to move much. In the past, he would hide in his palace early at this time and not go out, but now, not only did he have to get up for morning court every day before dawn, but he also had to go to class as usual after that. I can't be free, so I have to go to the small school grounds to squat for half an hour. The weather is cold recently, and the horse stance has been changed to riding. Even so, riding a horse for half an hour a day is still quite tiring. That's not enough. In the evening, Uncle Six would come over to watch him review the memorials, and in the evening he had to finish the homework assigned by the Taifu.

Jiang Yan held the hot tea in his hand, blew on it, and took a sip. He felt that the only time he could be free every day was before going to bed. After finishing the day's work, he sat by the bed drinking a cup of tea and reading a few pages of books , and fall asleep.

He suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhou Ning who was standing beside him: "Is there any clue about what I asked Ping An to do a few days ago?"

Zhou Ning thought for a while, and said, "Should...not be? Commander Zhou has never been here. The matter of Jiang Taifu was too big. Even if he was really wronged, it would be difficult to find out."

After all, no one is a fool. If it is really slander, the guilty person will be more careful when they see the matter getting bigger. After nearly three years, how could it be so easy for people to find out the clues?

Jiang Yan naturally knew this truth, especially the people he sent were inexperienced and thoughtless like Zhou Pingan, so it was even more difficult to check, but he really didn't have anyone he could trust. There is an obvious separation, and he can see many people's minds at a glance. Even if he gradually learns to ignore them and learn to deal with them, he really can't make him trust these people.

Jiang Yan thought for a while, and suddenly felt that the matter was complicated by him. He wanted to know what happened back then, and where it was easier to investigate the case. What is easier than asking the parties directly?He believes that Jiang Xiaofeng is not that kind of person, so give him a chance to explain and investigate the case.

Jiang Yan did what he said, so he went to Jiang Xiaofeng the next day, but before he could speak, seeing Jiang Taifu silently turning the book to the pages of yesterday's class, he suddenly remembered an important thing.

He forgot to memorize the book.

This is really a cruel fact!

How to change the topic from forgetting to endorse to, Taifu Zhen knew you were wronged and believed you so I gave you a chance to investigate the case?

It seemed that whatever he said would become an excuse for forgetting to endorse, Jiang Yan was a little helpless, so he decided to tell the truth.

Jiang Xiaofeng showed a thoughtful expression. After a long time, he said slowly: "I can't remember."

Jiang Yan was taken aback, and he looked at Jiang Xiaofeng, not understanding what he meant.

"I can't remember if I did it, maybe I really drank too much that day, Mr. Li's wine is very strong." Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly.

It took Jiang Yan a long time to react, and he said blankly: "Yes, but I don't think the Tai Tuo is that kind of person, didn't you just say it was a trap..."

Jiang Xiaofeng interrupted Jiang Yan for the first time, "Frame me, what can I do to deserve Miss Li's frame?"

"If it hadn't been for such a thing, she could have been her concubine in a glorious manner. Why did she get into such an embarrassing situation now?"

Jiang Yan was silent for a while, thinking that it was Prince Ping who had appointed Miss Li as the concubine, and he was the ugliest person he had ever seen in his life. It is enough to be her father, if Miss Li just finds someone to rely on because she doesn't want to marry Prince Ping's son, it doesn't seem impossible, right?

Jiang Xiaofeng has never met Prince Ping's son, and he doesn't know the age of this man. He has been in Wenhua Pavilion for a while, and he probably knows what the children of the Jiang family look like. In his mind, the son of the prince should be like Jiang Yan or King Qin's son Rui Wang Shizi is so handsome and outstanding, how about him?According to the usual practice, the first grade of the imperial examination was entered into the editor of the Imperial Academy, the seventh rank official, the champion is better, and the sixth rank, but he was born as a prince, and later he will be the king of the county. Give up such a good man to frame him?He felt that Miss Li's family was the one who was framed.

Jiang Yan wanted to say something more, but Jiang Xiaofeng didn't listen. He narrowed his big weird pupils and said, "Then next, let's talk about the problem you forgot to endorse."

Jiang Yan: "..."

Zhou Ping'an has been wandering outside Li's residence for several days.

He is really inexperienced, and he doesn't know how to investigate the case. He made a rough estimate and thought that he should start with Li's house. It is best to contact the servants who had contact with Jiang Xiaofeng at the banquet that year. It would be even better to serve Miss Li's maids and the like, but he only remembered an important question after wandering around for a long time.

He didn't know any servant girls at all, even if these people walked past him, he wouldn't recognize them.

Adong and Axia followed behind him expressionlessly, like two statues.

After Yin Jiang settled down in Wenhua Pavilion, because his own identity was still under assessment, the people he brought along with him could not be placed beside Jiang Yan for the time being. In fact, he planned to use these two powerful idiots as a public training partner for the imperial guards, so they couldn't be beaten to death anyway.

Adong and Axia didn't mean to object at all. They were hidden guards who stood out from countless war slaves, and they were used to fighting against people. The guards are nothing at all, and the days in the Nanyuan school grounds can be regarded as retirement and leisure.

Of course, it would be even better if the boss you followed wasn't so stupid.

Zhou Ping'an has been transferring for a long time without any results. He felt that he needed to inquire about some information, at least he should know what the maid who served Miss Li's family looked like.

The servant's official position is not low. Li's mansion is located in a prosperous area of ​​Dongcheng. Turning an official road, you can see the bustling market. Zhou Pingan brought Adong and Axia to a tavern. The tavern is the best place to inquire about. Another more important reason is that the weather is freezing cold at the moment, and he can't take it anymore, so he plans to drink a few glasses of wine to warm up his body.

"Serve two jars of wine and stir-fry a few dishes, half meat and half vegetarian."

Zhou Pingan sat down. In fact, he hadn’t been out of a restaurant for a long time. Once or twice, someone bought him a drink. Two days ago, he just collected 20 taels and sent them to the government to revoke their family’s military registration. A little savings from these years was sent to the border, and an old friend was entrusted to him to bring his brother back, so he almost couldn't even eat.Fortunately, the salary was paid yesterday, and he felt a big stone in his heart. Then he remembered, it seems that his current salary is enough for him to go to restaurants three times a day without repeating the same thing?

It's rare to want to be extravagant, Zhou Pingan thought for a while, and said: "Another plate of beef, a whole chicken, braised in soy sauce."

With so many dishes, it must not be enough for one person. Adong and Axia looked at him with warm eyes for the first time. The two of them were moved like two flowers that were blown by the warm wind in March and gradually opened.

Zhou Ping'an just touched his stomach, thinking that he would definitely be full today.

Meat dishes should be slow, wine and two vegetarian dishes are served together, a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of crispy bamboo shoots, Zhou Pingan poured himself a bowl, and then, then there was no more, he completely ignored the two fools With earnest eyes, he brought the two jars of wine in front of him, raised his hand and poured half of the peanuts into each of their bowls.

"Eat this stuff, eat less, or you won't be able to eat lunch when you go back." Zhou Ping'an seemed to be very considerate.

!!!

A plate of peanuts for every table ordered?Adong and Axia looked at Zhou Ping'an as if they were looking at a heinous villain.

The hot wine entered his throat, as if dispelling the cold all over his body, and he felt comfortable from the inside to the outside. Zhou Pingan let out a "hiss", good wine.

The weather is cold and it is still snowing, but the business in the tavern is very good. After all, the big family can live with their doors closed in winter, but the traffickers and pawns have to work hard all day. They are willing to come to the tavern in their spare time , spend a few dollars to buy a bowl of wine to warm up.

Zhou Ping'an listened with pricked ears, always paying attention to news from the Li family.

"Have you heard? Prince Chen came back this time and brought a woman from Mobei! He said that he wanted to beg to be a princess!"

"Have you heard? The Prime Minister personally praised Mr. Sun's son at Mr. Sun's house yesterday, saying that he has the talent of a literary star!"

"Have you heard?..."

After "hearing" for a long time, no one has heard what the maid next to Ms. Li's family looks like, where she lives, where to find, where to find, Zhou Ping'an has bottomed out a bowl of wine, but his ears are still pricked .

I always feel that this information is very useful, but listening to it is nothing...

Looking at Commander Zhou who was completely immersed in the gossip, Adong and Axia glanced at each other, both of them saw the meaning in each other's dark eyes, and then nodded without any trace, the two had a tacit understanding, and then - Lightning Stretched out their chopsticks, one of them picked up a chicken leg.

Zhou Pingan, Zhou Pingan didn't react, he just listened to a few people over there discussing enthusiastically that the Mobei woman brought back by King Chen was born with supernatural powers, could tear people with bare hands, and carried King Chen on her back for hundreds of miles to return to Mobei. Beidaying still has the strength to carry a giant sack the height of a person.

Zhou Ping'an became more and more familiar, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of woman is so powerful?" If he hadn't confirmed that his elder brother was a fool, he would have suspected that person was his brother!No, I have already begun to doubt it.

Besides Big Brother, who else in this world can do this?He is also born with great strength, he only has the strength of five people alone, but the eldest brother is really, really powerful.
