The world is majestic

After arriving at Xunyang Tower, the child at the door approached courteously and asked, "Who are the guest officials?"

Yinhu smiled and raised his hand, "My friend's surname is Liu, and he should have arrived. He's in the Loyalty Hall here."

The child immediately smiled and said: "It turns out that the son is here, and I will take you up here." After saying that, he turned around and quickly led Yinhu and his wife to the second floor.

Zhongyi Hall is not the name of an elegant room, the entire second floor of Xunyang Tower is called Zhongyi Hall, and it was only after Yinhu came up that he understood what Fan Chengxun meant. The so-called being in Zhongyi Hall with Liu Qi meant that he had taken over the Xunyang Tower. The entire second floor.

Xiaoer led Yinhu all the way into an elegant room on the left side of Zhongyi Hall, Yinhu saw that there was already a person waiting inside, and when Yinhu came in, the person in the room stood up, with a slightly embarrassed expression Nervous, wearing a green shirt, with a gentle and elegant appearance, looking at about the same age as Yinrong, this is somewhat beyond Yinhu's expectation.

Yinhu smiled and sat down, ordered to go down and serve a few dishes at will, then dismissed Xiaoer, and smiled generously with Liu Qi: "Master Liu, please sit down, don't be restrained."

Liu Qi smiled a little stiffly, "I take the liberty, I have never lived with the young master, but I followed the post from the young master the day before yesterday, inviting me to cook tea and discuss the Taoism. I really don't know what you can teach me?"

Yinhu smiled and filled up the wine for the two of them, and then said politely: "It seems that Mr. Liu's courage is indeed evident. You don't even know the details of your subordinates, so you rushed to the banquet?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi felt a little embarrassed, smiled embarrassedly and said: "I have also thought about it for two days, and I still feel that it is not appropriate to come."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because the young master's post said that the entire second floor of the Xunyang Tower is waiting for me. I really don't know what the young master has to see me. Such a big expense."

Yinhu laughed lightly when he heard the words, lowered his voice and said: "To tell you the truth, I just want to use this to attract your lord to come here."

"What?" Liu Qi suddenly changed his face, and looked at Yinhu with suspicion and speculation, "Who is the young master? Can you tell me your name? Honesty is the most important thing in a gentleman's relationship. If you know the root of it clearly, should you reciprocate it with courtesy?"

"My surname is Ai, and the single name is the word 禄. Master Liu looks older than me, so it is not wrong to call me brother Ai. I heard that your lord is a famous young talent. It's just that I have admired your lord's talent and name for a long time, and I really want to make friends with you." Yinhu smiled, and took Yinzhen's name to use without changing his face or heartbeat.

Liu Qi saw that his attitude was friendly, and he didn't seem to be very malicious, so he was a little relieved, and when he was about to continue asking, he saw Yinhu gently sealed his lips with his fingers, then dipped his fingertips in the wine, and sat on the table. It wrote: "The wall has ears, so it's inconvenient to speak." While writing, he laughed loudly: "Since Mr. Liu is a few years older than me, I should give you a toast!"

Although Liu Qi didn't understand, but his mind was sharp, he immediately noticed that there were many tiny details in it, so he smiled with Yinhu and said: "Brother Ai is not very old, but he is a kind-hearted person, so please let us not get drunk and not go home .” Fingers imitated Yinhu, and wrote on the table: “What’s the matter?”

"Tea."

Liu Qi was shocked when he saw Yinhu writing the word tea stroke by stroke on the table, and was about to speak, but saw Yinhu smiling and saying some polite words while writing: "This place is not suitable for details." Let’s talk, sir, please cooperate with me and put on a play.”

"How to cooperate?"

Yinhu wrote a few words with a smile on his face: "Pretend to be drunk and get beaten."

Liu Qi stared blankly at the person who had been typed, and then heard Yinhu laughing and saying, "Hey, Mr. Liu, drink slowly." He smiled at himself and blinked, holding up the wine cup .

Although Liu Qi was still full of doubts, he really wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Yinhu's gourd, so he picked up the wine cup to touch him, made a loud "touch", and laughed loudly: "Ai! What did my brother say? Didn’t I tell you just now! You must not return home drunk.”

The two played back and forth like this for about half an hour, and Yinhu guessed in his heart that it was about the same, so he deliberately raised his voice and said in surprise: "Oh, Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you, why did you just drink it?" Drunk after such a short while? Master Liu? Wake up, Master Liu." As he spoke, he pulled Liu Qi lightly, Liu Qi understood, when he closed his eyes, his body softened and he lay down on the ground, Yinhu saw him like this Cooperating, I also felt a little funny in my heart. After looking at each other and smiling with Lu Lianrong, Lu Lianrong took out a sack from the backpack he was carrying, and whispered to Liu Qi: "I offended Mr. Liu, please bear with me for a while." A little while." Then he put Liu Qi into the sack and tied it tightly.

Yinhu said loudly: "Let you, a poor scholar, look down upon no one. If you think you are an inspector, you don't know the heights of heaven and earth. Let me teach you a lesson today!" Kicking, Liu Qi, who was tied up inside, let out a low growl "Woooo" sound through the sack.In fact, Lu Lianrong didn't use much force, but if there were no traces left, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. It is estimated that there were still a few scars on Liu Qi's body.

Seeing that Yinhu felt that it was almost done, Fang lazily said to Lu Lianrong: "Okay, it's almost time to stop, just tie him up like this, and when Xiaoer comes up to clean up later, I will see him." , while taking out a piece of plain paper that had been prepared from his cuff, and asked Lu Lianrong to open the sack first, and tucked it into Liu Qi's clothes, who was at a loss. He mouthed and said, "I'm offended." Then, Lu Lianrong tied the sack again, and Yinhu turned around and went out with him. When he reached the door, he glanced at the closed door next door meaningfully and smiled. , Looking back and going downstairs.

After getting out of Xunyang Tower, Lu Lianrong quickly asked: "Master, can this be done? If Master Liu doesn't come tonight, all previous efforts will be for naught."

"Don't worry, he will definitely come."

"Why are you so sure?"

Yinhu smiled resolutely, with a hint of warmth on his face, "After he saw the tea character I wrote, although he didn't know my identity and background at all, he still listened to me and acted out a play." , This shows that he is really concerned about the safety of the tea market and tea farmers, and based on this alone, he is a good official, and since he is a good official, he will definitely come at night!"

In the evening, as usual, Dai Shou prepared the banquet. Because Yinfeng and Yinhu came these few days, Fan Chengxun has been accompanying him in Xunyang. Yinhu didn't like this kind of occasion, let alone several nights in a row , then told Yinfeng that he was very tired, and he wanted to eat two mouthfuls of food in the house.

"Is the eighth brother not acclimatized? It's better for someone to call a doctor to take a look. But it's good to see the spirit of the eighth brother." Yinfeng went to Yinhu's house in person, and said with concern.

"It's okay, second brother doesn't know me yet? It's just that I don't like the excitement. The two days of singing and dancing every night made me feel tired after thinking about it. But looking for an excuse to hide in peace made my second brother worry. " Yinhu smiled happily and ordered Gao Ming to serve tea for Yinrong. He was not sick at first, and he was naturally in good spirits.

Yinfeng smiled earnestly: "That's good. If the eighth brother comes out with me and there is something wrong, how can I explain to Huang Ama? We will leave for Hongcheng with Mr. Fan in two days. Eighth brother Just take care of yourself.”

"Second brother, don't worry, the younger brother will take care of himself." The two were chatting and laughing happily, and they looked harmonious, but they really couldn't see the suspicion and speculation inside.

After finally sending Yinrong away, Yinhu breathed a sigh of relief. After dinner at night, he took Lu Lianrong and quietly walked out from the back door of the mansion. Yinrong and the others were having fun in the flower hall, so naturally they couldn't care about him. After he came out, he went all the way with Lu Lianrong to the door of an inconspicuous restaurant. This restaurant was opposite the tea shop they went to that day. When he came out, Yinhu glanced at it and wrote it down. Unobtrusive.

After entering, Yinhu saw the familiar blue clothes at noon as expected, and saw that he had stood up when he came in. Yinhu hurriedly walked forward, and when he took a closer look, he found that there were indeed two bruises on Liu Qi's face. Qing, secretly scolded Lu Lianrong for being too aggressive, and apologized: "I'm really sorry for Mrs. Liu. It was an expedient measure at that time, and there is really no other way."

Liu Qi didn't really mind, he sat down with Yinhu and asked, "Master Ai asked me to come here, what is the reason? Mr. Liu is at a loss now, and I hope Mr. Ai can quickly clear up the confusion for me. That's good."

"After I left at noon, has anyone entered the house besides Xiaoer?"

"I heard footsteps that there should be two people, but they came and went in a hurry. Later, Xiao Er came up to clean up and helped me untie the bundle just now."

Yinhu nodded, and said seriously: "I wonder if Mr. Liu can be trusted?"

Liu Qi frowned slightly, "If someone like Liu can't trust you, how could he be delivered to your door after being beaten up? You might as well just tell me what's wrong with you, young master."

Only then did Yinhu's brows widen, and he smiled and said, "To be honest, my lord, I came down from Jingzhong to investigate the Jiangxi tea market. It's just that I'm still young, but someone from my family recommended me to come out to experience the experience. Come on." It's been a while in Xunyang, although I have the intention to manage this matter, but I can't be the master. I know that there are mixed fish and dragons here in Jiangxi, and only adults can take care of themselves. Now that things have happened, I can only ask adults to do a job for the tea farmers and tea merchants in Jiangxi. It's up to you." After speaking, he told Liu Qi one by one what he had seen and heard in the past few days and what he heard from the tea shop clerk that day.

Seeing his earnest words, Liu Qi couldn't help being moved, and thinking that he was able to go out with officials on errands at a young age, and there was a hidden nobility in his conversation, so he thought that Yinhu must be the son of an important minister's family, maybe he was a high-ranking official. The prince's son was quite puzzled and said: "Why didn't Mr. Ai explain it to the adults who came with you?"

Yinhu smiled wryly: "To be honest, the current situation is really a nest of snakes and rats, otherwise I wouldn't be so eager to ask for help from adults."

Liu Qi pondered for a long while, then slowly said: "I was appointed as an Inspectorate at a young age, it was the grace bestowed by the Holy Majesty, but in this Jiangxi area, I was subject to the governor and the governor everywhere, and the two of them were also subordinate to the prefect and prefect. It was difficult for me to pass the song in secret, and I was in collusion with traitors, not to mention that I am a procurator, and I am in charge of the affairs of criminal officials, if you want me to go and ask about the tea market, it is indeed a bit out of bounds." He raised his eyes quickly Glancing at Yinhu, the voice changed, "However, since I have been an official for a day, I will eat the imperial salary. If I let the person who harbors evil intentions go because of my timidity, wouldn't I be ashamed to face the court and the people?" ?”

Yinhu was overjoyed when he heard the words, "So, does your lord agree?"

Liu Qi nodded and said: "I'm planning to do something in my position, since the young master came to me, he must have already had some calculations in his heart?"

Now that Yinhu has his approval, he feels that most of the rocks in his heart have fallen, and he nodded with a smile: "My lord only needs to write a secret report and hand it over to Beijing, and I will keep a copy in the magistrate of Xunyang City, only saying that he has an affair with a wealthy businessman Accepting, corrupting the law, asking the imperial court to thoroughly investigate, then there will be a way to deal with him, and those wealthy businessmen who disrupt the market, profit is the basis of the businessman's plan, if they lose their protection, they will naturally not dare to do evil again."

"But...if something happens to Dai Shou, will Fan Chengxun just sit back and ignore it?"

The corner of Yinhu's mouth twitched, and he smiled with disdain: "How dare Fan Chengxun have that guts? If something happened to Dai Shou, it would be too late for him to clean it up, so why would he be so stupid to go into that muddy water?" When Dai Shou's will is thoroughly investigated, he and Yinfeng are also in Hongcheng. Fan Chengxun may be thinking about how to get himself out of this matter every day, so how can he care about Dai Shou? life and death.

Liu Qi thought about it carefully for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll write a memorial and send it to Beijing overnight when I go back tonight!"

"This matter is not allowed. Your Excellency is the inspector of Jiangxi. Now Jiangxi is a place of troubles. I am afraid that your book will be robbed by someone with a heart before it is delivered to the emperor." The prince came out of Jiangxi, Suo Ertu He must be paying close attention to every move here in Beijing. It's no secret that Liu Qi disagrees with Fan Chengxun and others.

"How about that?"

Seeing Liu Qi's anxious expression, Yinhu thought for a while, and suddenly thought of someone, suddenly realized, and said to Liu Qi with a smile: "Master Liu only needs to repair this secret report into a letterhead, and send it to the first class." Tong Guowei, the minister of state affairs, is the residence of Mr. Tong, and Mr. Tong presented it to the Holy Majesty."

Liu Qi was quite suspicious, "Is Master Tong reliable or not? Just in case..."

Yinhu smiled and patted the back of Liu Qi's hand to comfort him and said, "Lord Tong is the most loyal to the emperor and the people, and he is the most reliable."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Liu Qi could give people a rather strong sense of stability, and he felt relieved after hearing his words, and said with a smile, "Okay, if this can be done, then God will bless Jiangxi! "

After the two settled the conversation, they both felt relieved, and chatted about other trivial matters, unexpectedly the time flew by.It wasn't until Yinhu raised his head and saw that it was getting late outside that he realized that it had been a little longer, so he got up and said goodbye: "So, Ai Zhen will wait for your lord's good news."

In fact, Liu Qi is not a pedantic person. On the contrary, he has a bright and easy temperament, but he is too upright and can't get used to the unhealthy tendencies of corrupt officials. , but they are very congenial with him. Both of them are dedicated to serving the people, and many ideas and concepts coincide. Now that Yinhu is about to get up and leave, Liu Qisheng feels a little bit reluctant, and stands up and says to Yinhu: "Will Mr. Ai stay in Xunyang City for a few more days?"

"Probably we will leave in the next few days."

"I don't know where Mr. Ai's mansion is in the capital? If Liu goes to the capital in the future, it's better to pay a visit and talk about it in detail."

Yinhu smiled at Yanyan and said to him: "If there is a destiny, why are you afraid of seeing each other indefinitely? If Mr. Liu comes to the capital someday, it's the right thing to do next time."

When he said this, it made it inconvenient for Liu Qi to ask any more questions, so he could only look at Yinhu with a smile, and watched him leave, clutching the plain note that he had stuffed for him during the day, slightly He sighed, feeling a little lost.

It is said that after Yinhu returned to the mansion that night, Yinrong did not send anyone to look for him. He must have been accompanied by a beautiful woman. Yinhu was really looking forward to this, and he was very tired after running around for a day, so he washed up and went to bed early that night. up.The next two days were peaceful, and Yinhu finally let go of his worries. It seems that Yinrong really didn't know about it, and Fan Chengxun probably didn't suspect it.

After a few days of calm, Yinhu followed Yinrong and Fan Chengxun on the road again, and went to Hongcheng, Jiangxi, where Fan Chengxun's Governor's Mansion was also located.
