Placid Chang'an

Su Cen raised his head and was stunned for a moment, only to see that the man didn't speak or move, but just looked at him, neither happy nor angry, showing no emotion.

The umbrella he brought floated on the lake, drifting further and further away.

Su Cen got up holding his injured hand, shook the mud on his clothes, lowered his eyebrows, and saluted respectfully.

The blood dripped down along the lines between the palms, onto the rain-wet steps, and onto the pekoe with full roots.

Li Shi's expression finally moved, and he asked, "What's going on?"

Su Cen glanced back at the prince who had already turned pale with fright, and suddenly felt that it was very boring, watching other people's faces to live, and bowing his knees for others was involuntary.

Sad and pathetic.

He straightened up and smiled at Li Shi, "It's okay, I accidentally fell."

"Really?" Li Shi raised his eyebrows with interest.

Su Cen was fed up with his expression, calm and calm with everything in control, as if he had to bow down and be grateful when he waved to others.Gritting his teeth, enduring the throbbing pain in his palms, he said, "If nothing happens, the officer will step down."

Li Shi didn't intend to move away, he looked at Su Cen with a smile in his eyes, "Yuanchen is still young, let him order."

Behind him, Xiao Yuanchen and Xiao Shizi immediately raised his head proudly.

"Oh?" Su Cen saw it and laughed for no reason.How funny, the three of them are big men standing here, but they are fighting each other like those boudoir women, thinking about every detail, and they look like they are fighting for favor.

It took me a long time to stop my smile, "The lord was joking, you are the lord, he is the son of the prince, how can I be a little Dali Temple prime minister, why should I let him say it?"

"Or do we still have to talk about the three obediences and four virtues of the old and the young in the harem of the prince?" He smiled coldly, "If that's the case, you don't have to worry about it, it's just a deal between you and me, and we each get what we need. Finished, and the next official will not come to bother you again."

Li Shi frowned slightly, "Zixu, don't make trouble."

"Don't call me by that name!" Su Cen suddenly became violent, and bit her words one by one: "Don't call me by my name again!"

At the beginning of the gift of the weak crown, old man Lin gave him the word 'Xu', hoping that he would be as bright as the sun and be kind.But when he was called out at this time, here, and under such circumstances, he just felt that he had insulted the word and failed old man Lin's expectations.

"Resignation." Su Cen suppressed the burning hot breath in his chest and looked directly at Li Shi, his eyes were almost pleading.

let him go.

He has done all kinds of ugliness in front of this person, so he can't preserve his last bit of dignity?

Li Shi squinted at the person for a while, then took a step back to make way.

Su Cen let out a heavy breath, stepped on the fresh tea all over the floor and left, Biluochun was submerged in the low-lying mud, twisted and twisted, dripping everywhere.

It doesn't matter if it's broken, Su Cen felt relieved for no reason, he was drinking tea and discussing Taoism in this pavilion in the middle of the lake, but now it's over.

Anyway, none of the people present, including him, could match this tea.

It wasn't until he saw Su Cen striding away with his back straight and his figure disappearing into the misty depths of misty rain that Li Shi stopped his sight.

The best Biluochun is everywhere, like a broken heart.

Xiao Yuanchen changed his smile and took a step forward, "My lord, I have been..."

"roll."

The lips and teeth are cold and thin, icy cold to the bone.

Drenched in the rain and injured, Su Cen spent three days recuperating at home before returning to Dali Temple. He thought that Li Shi would not have a better life if he offended him, so he tucked his tail in a sensible manner for a long time. All packed, ready to roll back to his musty apse.Unexpectedly, it was as if people had forgotten about him. Si Cheng's work went smoothly, Song Jiancheng left, and there was no one to talk to.

That's right, the newcomer is by his side, he is young, and his temper is thousands of times better than him, who has the time to talk to him.

This is a deal between you and me, what kind of sincerity do you want?

That is, when I dream back at midnight, I can still think of something, like a thorn buried in my heart, invisible from the outside, but I know it is there, it hurts faintly, and the inside of the thorn is dripping with blood.

He had to find something to do for himself, after much deliberation, he decided to resume the case of the Gong Yuan.

Since the thorn cannot be pulled out, it is blunted, adapted to it, and ignored.If you can't let go of one worry, you will cover it with another.

In this case, old man Tian was assassinated by the secret door, and the clues were broken. He couldn't intervene in the secret door, so he had no choice but to start with Tian Pingzhi's case 12 years ago.

He went through all the files of Dali Temple. During the period from March to April of Yonglong 22, there was a blank period in the files. Not only Tian Pingzhi's case, it seems that Dali Temple did not take over new cases for a whole month.In May, Emperor Taizong passed away, Shenzong Li Xun succeeded to the throne, and gave amnesty to the world. Dali Temple was even more silent, and there was no new record until March of the next year.

However, since Shenzong succeeded to the throne, the cases handled by Chen Guanglu have been decreasing day by day. Although he was promoted to Dali Temple Minister in the end, he retired within a few years, and has since disappeared and never heard from again.

There is no official plan in Dali Temple, so... what about the "Chen's Criminal Law" that is regarded as the standard in the hands of criminal officials all over the world?

Su Cen immediately became excited. "Chen's Criminal Law" has been widely circulated, and it has been reprinted many times with different grades. Fortunately, the current Dali Shaoqing Zhang Jun is a teacher of Chen Guanglu, and he has a whole set of "Chen's Criminal Law", which is most conspicuously placed in his study It is said that Chen Guanglu's autographed inscriptions were also obtained on the ancient shelf, which can be regarded as the most original edition and the most detailed edition.

I thought it was a simple matter, and I just borrowed it to take a look and return it, but unexpectedly something went wrong.

Zhang Jun looked at Su Cen with a look of embarrassment. It was not because he was stingy, but because the book was out of print, and there was an inscription written by the teacher himself. It is a rule that this book cannot be borrowed.

If you don't want to borrow it, don't borrow it. Su Cen came to the door in person with a face and a courtesy. It's not too much to borrow a glance in the study.Before coming to the door, Su Cen specially took a bath and burned incense, as if what he was reading was not criminal laws, but Buddhist scriptures.

It's all here, Zhang Jun is helpless, he exchanged some greetings with people in the front hall, the tea has just been served, and he only hears the gongs and drums in the backyard, and the servants who come and go only say that the backyard is full of water, wait for the two to rush over At that time, the study was already on fire, and no one could get in.

Zhang Jun sat slumped on the ground, this little ancestor was really capable, the plague god followed wherever he went.Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a person wearing a wet suit rushing into the fire scene.

Zhang Jun looked behind him and almost fainted from fright. The person who was following him just now disappeared without a trace. Thinking about the figure just now...

Looking up to the sky and screaming, "God, what crime did he do to provoke this little ancestor?" !What kind of a character is this, if it falls to him, tomorrow he will have to face that person with his whole family in his hands!

Immediately, he staggered up and was about to rush into the fire, but was forcibly held back by the servants before giving up.

"Why are you standing still, put out the fire!" Zhang Jun waved his sleeves, and like a hen whose feathers were fried, he went to the battle himself, holding a bucket and rushing towards the well.

As soon as Su Cen entered the fire scene, he was forced to sway by the oncoming flames. He resisted the stinging pain and looked around. The most violent fire was the ancient shelf in the study. If he guessed correctly, it should be the point of fire.

It was obvious that someone was coming for him. As soon as he found out, someone came to destroy the evidence.

This also shows that there must be some shady secrets in this book.

The four major books of "Chen's Criminal Law" are easy to recognize, and they are burning vigorously. Just as Su Cen took a step forward, the beam of the house was overwhelmed and crackled, falling one step away in front of Su Cen!

Su Cen's back was sweating all of a sudden, and with a groan in his heart, he stepped over the beam and took the book off the shelf, took a bag of wet clothes, and ran out immediately.

Almost at the same moment he stepped out of the door, behind him was shattered, and the entire beam collapsed.

Zhang Jun rolled his eyes and almost passed out again.

It wasn't until he saw the attacking figure rushing out of the dust, that he forced himself to come up in one breath.

Su Cen threw the book on the ground, picked up a bucket of water and poured it over his head, the cool well water made people shiver under the blue sky and white sun, Su Cen felt that he was finally alive again.

Holding the book in front of Zhang Jun, he looked at Zhang Jun with a smile, "Master Zhang, this book..."

"Take it away, you take it away," Zhang Jun hurriedly waved his hand and pushed the book to Su Cen, "Where you want to go, just don't stay at my house."
