Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"By the way, my lord asked me to give you a word before coming..."

"Take the lead. He doesn't need to open his mouth. I know what he's going to say. He's good at playing. When he got married, I left him a word of tricks. Now when it's his turn, he starts to show off, huh, man. "

"There is another piece of advice, which has nothing to do with the prince, but I want to remind you myself."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"I know sir, you don't want to get involved with the officialdom anymore, but this time the emperor wants you to investigate the case, I'm afraid it will have something to do with you."

Jun Ziyou raised his eyebrows, "...what do you mean?"

"The case this time is very strange, and it is similar to the ones you solved before. I can't tell you the details. You need to go to Shuntian Mansion to ask yourself, but I think that if the other party takes advantage of this matter, If you take the opportunity first, your days in the future will be even more difficult."

It has to be admitted that Lu Chuan is telling the truth. Although he doesn't really want to get involved in Jun Zi'an's mess, but judging by his posture, he has no room to decline at all.

What's more, Lu Chuan's words were extremely tactful, and he definitely caught Jun Ziyou's Achilles' heel, arousing his curiosity.It seems that this matter can't be avoided anyway.

Thinking that Lu Chuan was someone sent by Xiao Beicheng to serve him, Jun Ziyou was upset, he lay on the armchair, stretched out his feet, and swayed from side to side.

Seeing that Lu Chuan stood there puzzled, Jun Ziyou curled his lips and said, "Put on your shoes. If you go out barefoot in such a cold day, you will have to urinate blood from the cold when you come back. You really are not sensible at all."

He complained awkwardly, bent down and put on his boots. Lu Chuan still didn't understand, and rubbed his head sadly, "Sir, don't you always like to wear more clothes? I heard that Steward Liu advised you to put on a coat." People from the palace are chasing after you, you are..."

"I'm getting old, if I continue to abuse myself like before, I'm afraid I won't have a good life for a few days. In the past, no matter whether I was drinking too much or being greedy for cold, it was actually because I was unwell and wanted to numb the pain. It's not going to happen now, the prince borrowed me Half of my lifespan, if I don’t live to be a hundred years old, wouldn’t it be a disappointment to his good intentions.”

After he was dressed, Jun Ziyou consciously put on his cloak, borrowed a hand warmer from the servants of the Wang Mansion, and went out. If Lu Chuan hadn't accompanied him out of Li Mansion, Lu Chuan really wouldn't have recognized Li San He was the one who covered the three layers tightly.

And this appearance...

The more Lu Chuan watched it, the more amusing he became, and he couldn't hold back anymore, so he asked, "Sir, do you have any special hobbies..."

Look at his dog-like sky-blue robes, paired with the snow fox fur that the Prince of Jin had rewarded him in the early years, and his long hair hanging around, he has the charm of a swinger, but he still wears a red embroidered warm suit. The hand stove, walking on the street, attracts passers-by and onlookers, who can afford to lose this person with him.

"I said, sir, if we don't have a hand stove, don't use it. You can't ask anyone to borrow it. You have to find the chore maid who is afraid of chaos in the world. She can't wait to give you another set of red and willow green skirts to go out."

Junziyou was not happy when he heard this, he took out a hand and tapped Lu Chuan's shoulder forcefully, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm willing, don't worry about me! This will not work and that will not work, you have to make me live in the cold weather It’s better to be cold, isn’t it! If you don’t borrow the stove, I’ll warm your hands with you!”

I don't know which string he didn't get right, and in a moment of panic, he actually put his hand into Lu Chuan's collar, and wanted to warm his hand against the hottest part of his heart.

The quarrel between the two attracted passers-by to watch, and someone said loudly: "Hey, isn't this the old Dali Temple Jun Shaoqing?"

Soon someone raised an objection, "What are you talking about, Mr. Jun doesn't like wearing shoes or cloaks when going out, this must be the counterfeit that came out recently, and he dared to show off in front of the Shuntian Mansion, I think it's real Tired."

Hearing this, Jun Ziyou raised his head and found that he had arrived at Shuntian Mansion unknowingly, and there was a man standing at the door who seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He squinted his eyes and took a closer look. This is not...

"Yo, Lord Big Tail Wolf?"

Remembering that his hand was still covering Lu Chuan's chest, Jun Ziyou couldn't hold back his face, and pushed him away, only to realize that he had nothing to be guilty of at all, King Jin had already found a new love, he would find another one What's wrong?Men who are unmarried and men who are not married must be hanged from a tree?

Thinking of this, he grabbed Lu Chuan's arm and felt a little strange while showing off to others.

The feeling of hugging this person...why is it exactly the same as the prince's, even his figure is fat and thin, this...is really embarrassing.

Before he could finish his embarrassment, another person came from the alley outside Shuntian Mansion. In this kind of cold weather, he was still barefoot, walking on the ground with clattering noises, and his skin was purple from the cold. up.

Seeing the situation between him and Lu Chuan, this person quickly stepped forward and hooked Xiao Beicheng's arms, gouged him arrogantly, and soon softened his momentum in front of Xiao Beicheng, and slowly hung the cigarette pouch on his belt The man in front of Junziyou deliberately pretended to be gentle and considerate.

"Ziyou, it's such a coincidence that you also came to Shuntian Mansion to inquire about the case. We really understand each other."

Gentleman Ann...

This monster, how can I meet him everywhere?

Junziyou yawned lazily, with two unconscious tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, plus he had just cried a while ago, and his eyes were still a little red. He glanced at Lu Chuan who was at a loss, and didn't want him to go After being targeted by the master, he kindly let him go, put his hands in the stove again, and nodded.

"Yeah, what a coincidence, my brother is here too. I didn't want to come, but I couldn't help but have a grasshopper who is not afraid of the cold screaming in my ear all the time, which disturbs people. Speaking of this, brother You said it was strange, but when I came here just now, I saw a long-tailed wild pheasant chasing a peacock and pecking at it, scarring the peacock all over. You said it’s no fun even if you win, because peacocks don’t fight in the first place What a pheasant, no matter how jealous the pheasant is, it bites the sparrow until it becomes bald, but in the end it still cannot change the fact that it is a pheasant, tsk tsk..."

He has always been good at insinuating, yin and yang, after listening to his words, Jun Zi'an and Lu Chuan dare not say a word, only Xiao Beicheng giggled.

Junziyou rolled his eyes, and said again: "By the way, I also saw a hippopotamus with such a big mouth, it was gray and ugly, it could cry like an old hen, and it was a smoking gun. A hunk of bacon."

This time Lu Chuan couldn't help laughing out loud, obviously compared with pheasants and hippos, he is a troublesome grasshopper.

Junzi's face turned pale with anger, "My lord, did you hear that what he said was human? He actually called you a hippopotamus. Can you bear it? If it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it."

Xiao Beicheng looked down at him coldly, "Are you teaching me what to do?"

"No……"

"Then just keep your mouth shut."

Xiao Beicheng turned around and entered the gate of Shuntian Mansion. Junzi'an only took one look at Junziyou, and then hurriedly chased after him. The latter was blowing the hair on his forehead that was floating around in front of his eyes, and waited for the two of them to go far away. Youzai led Lu Chuan in, and before he got to the hall, he heard someone humbly apologize.

"My lord, forgive me, my lord, please forgive me, the lower officials have blind eyes, and mistook this one for..."

"Remember, the people who go in and out with this king are either gentlemen or gentlemen. Be careful what you say in the future. This time I let you go without knowing it. It will not be so good next time. "

Sure enough, Xiao Beicheng was criticizing the person who accidentally admitted the wrong person and angered him, Jun Zian was listening silently, his face was very pale, and the person standing opposite him who kept apologizing was Yin Shuntian Tan Jiuling.

No matter how hard he tried, he would never guess that Junziyou had a twin brother who looked exactly like him. When he was at a loss, Junziyou approached. Tan Jiuling was still afraid, so naturally he didn't dare to recognize him easily. It was the man who bowed his head first and saluted him.

"Master Tan, I haven't seen you for many years, but your body is still as strong as ever."

"you……"

"I was under your care during the Hua Kui case before, why have you forgotten me in the past few years, my lord is so ruthless."

Hearing that this is the real gentleman, Tan Jiuling hurriedly exchanged greetings with others, "Oh, isn't this sir, I haven't seen you for several years, you are still in good spirits, are you feeling better?"

"It's better, but I haven't had enough rest, and I have to come to Shuntian Mansion to disturb you. To tell you the truth, I came here because of that case."

Knowing Junziyou's ability, Tan Jiuling, who was worrying about this case these days, was very happy, so he quickly invited him to sit down, ordered the yamen to bring tea, and sighed and told the whole story of the case.

"This case is very strange, and the higher-ups are pressing you hard. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for my youngest son who is still waiting to marry a wife to come in, I would even have the intention of resigning." Speaking of this, he was still cautious. After seeing Xiao Beicheng's expression, he didn't feel any annoyance, so he dared to continue talking. "It happened in the middle of the night a month ago, when an unknown carriage entered the capital..."

Soon Junziyou raised an objection, "Wait a minute, the capital will close its gates as soon as you arrive and refuse entry to outsiders, except for those dignitaries with special identities. So, in the carriage who?"

Tan Jiuling was about to cry, patted her thigh and shook her head, "No, there is no one in that car, there is only one... a coffin made of white marble."

This time, not only Jun Ziyou was surprised, even Xiao Beicheng stopped holding the teacup, looking at Jun Zi'an, he was also frowning.

"The two horses pulling the cart had their heads covered in sacks. They couldn't see the road and couldn't smell the smell, so no one knew how the cart got into the capital. I asked the soldiers guarding the city gate that night, and a They all faltered, refused to explain the situation that night, and only learned from one person after coercion... It turned out that the guards were all fascinated by something, and they all fell asleep and woke up. At that time, the gates of the city were already wide open, in order not to be held accountable, they concealed the matter."

Even the guards at the city gate were knocked down. If they didn't enter the city to do something earth-shattering, the great opportunity created would have been wasted, but the other party just sent a carriage of unknown origin into the capital. What does this mean?

Jun Ziyou took his hand out of the stove, looked at his ruddy palm warmed by the charcoal fire, leaned on the armchair and asked, "Where was the carriage found?"

"I drove straight in from the city gate until I reached Suzaku Avenue before being spotted by the patrolling soldiers."

"This season is dry and dry. In order to prevent water from leaking, the Chiya Guards will send extra patrols, but this way, they were discovered only when they were almost in front of the palace gate. Isn't it strange?"

"Well, Master Bai is also suspicious, but after asking around, there is no abnormality in the patrol team, and the patrol route has been arranged long ago, and indeed no one passed by during that time period. that route."

"It seems that a group of thieves who are very familiar with the defense of the capital must have committed the crime."

Tan Jiuling looked sad, and said with distress, "More than that, on the night of the investigation, another carriage entered the capital, and it was exactly the same as the one that first entered the city, no matter how the horse was tied or the style of the carriage. Master Bai guessed that horse-drawn carriages would enter the city one after another, so he waited in ambush near the city gate with me every night, but the other party was far more cunning than we thought, no matter where we hid, he would enter the city through unexpected routes. This is also the most difficult part of handling the case.”

"At the same time, it also shows that the place you are guarding is also expected by the other party. This prisoner not only understands the situation of the patrol and defense in the capital, but also knows the actions of you and Bai Jin." Jun Ziyou patted the folds of the hem of his clothes, stood up and stretched. Lazy, yawned and continued: "Take me to see the things in those carriages."

Watching the two leave, Jun Zi'an also stood up, but unexpectedly, Xiao Beicheng kicked him from behind, without looking down at him, and his tone was not very kind. "Are you dumb? You are the one who asked Zhang Luo to inquire about the case, and you are the one who pleaded guilty here without saying a word. He has taken all the limelight, so what are you doing?"

"I……"

"Instead of talking nonsense here, it's better to go over and see what others have said. If you don't rush to catch the first bite, you will only have to lick the leftovers. It's hard for me to help you like this. "

Jun Zi'an was upset by what he said, and wanted to argue, but felt powerless, so he simply stood on tiptoe, jumped up and pecked the man's chin, and then hurried away.

Xiao Beicheng stopped at the same spot with a blank expression, and when the person ran away and could no longer see his back, he took out the handkerchief and wiped the marks on his face, then threw the handkerchief into the charcoal brazier and burned it, and murmured: "This is similar, but compared with him, it's really far behind, not cute at all..."

When he hurried away, Jun Ziyou was already squatting beside the carriage, looking carefully at the white marble coffin.

"Usually speaking, although jade coffins have less melting and casting processes than gold and silver coffins, but because the stone is rare, it is even more difficult to find such a huge whole jade, so it is more precious than gold and silver coffins, and it is even rarer. .But white marble is more common, the cost is lower, and it has a white texture overall, so it is mostly used to make fences and steps, and it is used to make coffins... This is the first time I have seen it."

Tan Jiuling was frowning, and made a silent gesture to persuade Junziyou to keep quiet, "Sir, if you look carefully at the patterns carved on the coffin, you will understand everything."

Looking carefully from the beginning to the end, the pattern on the coffin seems to be a huge bird with wings spread, its wings are burning with fire, its wings are spreading and its neck is screaming, its pupils are shining with golden light, and a five-clawed bird is hooked in its claws. The golden dragon symbolizes absolute power suppression.

"This is... the totem of the previous dynasty."

The Jing Dynasty was a regime established by Dongliang people, and it was also one of the few eras in history when the Central Plains was ruled by ethnic minorities.The Dongliang people believed in the Xun religion and regarded the phoenix as their own totem, thus crushing the local belief culture in the Central Plains, which was often reflected in the literature and paintings of the previous dynasties.

Could it be that this coffin belonged to the nobles of the previous dynasty?

As a result, this case is very sensitive to Jun Ziyou, after all, he himself is a controversial figure, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will make a big fuss if he has something to do with it.

But it was obvious that Jun Zi'an was a master who didn't know how to avoid suspicion, and he said boldly: "Have you ever opened the coffin to see what's inside?"

Tan Jiuling's thighs were trembling, "This... how dare you, Shuntian Mansion is investigating cases, not tomb robbers, and we are not good at this. And we have notified the Ministry of Punishment. Acting rashly will make it more difficult to solve the case."

The boss he was talking about should be Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Junziyou's deadly enemy, Ye Lanchen.

Jun Zi'an was heartless, and slapped his thigh: "What the hell, open the coffin!"

As soon as these words came out, even Jun Ziyou was stunned, and he didn't know whether his brother was really heartless or wanted to kill them both in a vengeful way.

You know, if their biological father, Lin Xici, was really a descendant of the former royal family, then this move would be tantamount to digging their own ancestral graves.

The author has something to say: the weekend is another day of overtime work, and I hurriedly stuffed the manuscript into the scheduled time, there may be some typos and sentences that have not had time to be corrected, liver pain, please forgive me...
