Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"When will the snow in Chang'an melt..." Ye Lanchen sat by the window, rubbed his fingers against the frost that had formed on the window paper, stared at the icy water that melted on his fingertips, sighed, followed by A feeble cough.

His lips were pale, and he wiped away the blood from his lips. Someone outside the door heard the movement, came in with medicine and patted him on the back. After his cough subsided, he was fed a small cinnabar-colored pill. .

"This year seems to be extraordinarily long...I really feel that I won't be able to survive this winter."

"My lord, don't say that, it won't."

Ye Lanchen obediently took the medicine, frowned and swallowed the elixir, and took it with the warm medicine. After realizing it, he saw the face of the visitor clearly, and couldn't help asking: "What are you doing back here?"

Chi Min had a hippie smile on his face: "My lord, don't worry, I'm now from Shaoqing's side. The main reason I came back this time is because he wanted to invite you to his house to explain the case."

"I'm like this now. I don't see anyone. It's not a bad thing to go as soon as possible. Let the servants prepare the car and go to the Junfu."

"It's not the Jun Mansion, it's the Su Mansion."

Ye Lanchen's eyes were full of surprise, "Didn't Junziyou break up with his childhood friend Su Qinghe? The robes are all cut off, so it's fine?"

"Hey, anyway, he is a broken sleeve, so he cut it off as soon as he cut it off, not so particular. I heard that he found out the details of Mr. Ye's murder and wanted to share with you, but he is not convenient, so he I have to trouble you, my lord, to sit at the mansion yourself."

"He has been in poor health, and he must have had a hard time in this long winter. Forget it, Su's residence is two streets away, so there is no need for a car. Walk with me."

He seemed to really have a premonition that his time was running out. Even though he was exhausted, he still insisted on walking over by himself. Looking at the plain white scenery along the way, he felt rather melancholy, "Chang'an, it's one less time to see."

Chi Min didn't answer his words, and sent him to Su's mansion in silence. Su Qinghe was waiting in front of the door early, and bowed first when he saw anyone, "I knew Lord Ye was coming, I should have picked you up earlier .”

"There is no need to be too polite. This is because I have something to ask from others. How can I bother you."

He guessed that Junziyou's condition would not be too optimistic. He was always diligent, jumping up and down like a wild cat who couldn't rest. If he didn't come to the door in person, he would probably be too sick to get out of bed.Now that I think about it, they really feel sorry for each other.

But when he saw someone, most of his thoughts were dispelled. Jun Ziyou was still in good spirits, but with an extra crutch in his hand, Jiang Yanqing limped and walked in front of the court, and complained once or twice from time to time. Push away the doctor who is in the way.

"You let go, I can walk by myself... Oh, Mr. Ye, long time no see, you miss me so much."

Seeing Ye Lanchen, the displeasure on Jun Ziyou's face was wiped away, and he walked towards him as soon as he threw the walking stick, but unfortunately the injured leg was not enough to bear the strain, and he couldn't bear such troubles like this, the moment he took a step, he walked towards him Falling down, he bared his teeth and yelled: "Ouch... Master Ye laughed. It was cold and slippery. I accidentally fell and hurt my muscles and bones. I can't walk around. I'm sorry to trouble you to run away yourself." Come on, excuse me, excuse me."

No matter how you look at this guy, he doesn't look sick, Ye Lanchen had no choice but to give up the thought just now, and smiled apologetically: "Master Shaoqing, I should thank you for bothering my affairs."

"Oh, this, don't worry, everyone hasn't arrived yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of well-dressed palace people squeezed in from the main entrance. Xiao Junze was surrounded among them, like a delicate flower that attracted the attention of all.

"Hey, Prince, come quickly, everyone is here, we're wasting time, Qinghe, let's serve tea!"

The crutch that was lost just now rolled away somewhere, Junziyou couldn't find it, so he leaned on Jiang Yanqing reluctantly, jumped in with one leg, and swaggered into the seat of honor, forcing Patriarch Su Qinghe to wait by the side, Shake your head like a rattle.

When everyone was seated, Jun Ziyou sent out Chi Min and other irrelevant people. After the people left, the front hall suddenly fell silent. Let the tense people hang their hearts in their throats.

It seemed that some cough caused the discomfort in his body, and then he coughed violently, unable to stop, Jiang Yanqing patted his chest and rubbed his back, and it took him a lot of tossing to calm him down .

Xiao Junze followed suit and swallowed, vaguely guessing that the matter was not so simple, his palms were covered with sweat, and the hem of his shirt was wet.

After the episode just now, Jun Ziyou was a little weak, he leaned sickly on the seat, and said weakly: "How about, let's start with hunting."

Ye Lanchen involuntarily clutched his clothes, and hunted... That was the incident of his father's death. Since then, he has never heard from Ye Suifeng again. It was not until 14 years later that his father's coffin was returned to Ye's house , into the ancestral grave.

"Father... did he really die from hunting?"

"Gentleman You" took out a few neatly folded files from his bosom, the pages were yellowed and even damaged, it was the old one that had been sealed by Yushitai for many years, and even Ye Lanchen, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, couldn't get it out file.

"Regarding Master Ye Suifeng's death, there are only two pages in the case book, and it focuses on the hunting situation, and the specific cause of death is only briefly mentioned in the sentence 'killing the beast'. I asked someone to check the official history Since the first emperor ascended the throne, a total of three hunts have been carried out. The only beasts capable of killing adult males are tigers and black bears. But if you just put a few hares to spoil the emperor's interest, you will be punished. The officials in charge of the hunting ground had no choice but to think of a way to catch the cubs of the ferocious beast, which would be safe and safe Demonstrate the power of the dragon."

Ye Lanchen swept his eyebrows and raised a question: "Safe, safe?"

"Gentleman You" raised his eyebrows and smiled, "At least in their eyes, but they didn't expect that bears are a kind of beastly animals. Adult bears can tear adult wolves to pieces with their bare hands, especially female bears who protect their cubs." The instinct is very strong, and more irritable and manic than the male bear."

"The bear cub was caught by some lucky official that day. The mother bear smelled it and found it. She became so beastly that she rushed into the crowd, biting and killing him. Master Ye Suifeng was eager to escort him, and blocked the emperor with his sick body. In front of him, he blocked a fatal blow for the emperor, but unfortunately lost his life. This is a well-known plot, I would like to ask you, how many contradictions are there in the story?"

"Gentleman You" closed his mouth, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

Ye Lanchen tucked his hands into his sleeves, wringing his cold fingers uneasily. Seeing that no one had spoken for a long time, he could only speak up: "My father... my father is in poor health and his legs and feet are inconvenient. The day before the incident happened When it rained heavily, his legs should be in pain, and he can barely walk, so he should not accompany the emperor, and when an accident happens, he has no ability to stand in front of the emperor."

His face became paler, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, slid along the curve of his cheeks to his chin, and he wiped it away hastily.

Xiao Junze glanced at Ye Lanchen rather scrupulously, so he couldn't keep pretending to be dumb, cleared his throat, and said in a muffled voice: "If Master Ye died for the escort, then he is the father's lifesaver, and even a hero of the court." , the father will at least give him a posthumous title, and reward his widow and orphan, but there is no..."

Even the name has not been allowed to be mentioned until now.

After Ye Suifeng died quietly, Ye Lanchen's life can be described as "bitter". point of hope.

In order to find out his father's whereabouts, he entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice and took refuge under the command of the young master Qin Nangui. He used all his contacts, but he would never be able to touch the truth that was close at hand.

14 years... He waited for 14 years, he never gave up looking for his father, but in the end, he only waited for a cold carved coffin.

"I don't have the ability to avenge my father. I just want to know the truth of what I've been chasing for half my life before I die... Who did Father have grievances with, and who killed him? It doesn't matter... It doesn't matter, I I just want to know how he died."

"You can't avenge your father. I think you should at least understand the hatred of the past ten years for yourself."

Ye Lanchen raised his eyes when he heard the words, and met the gaze of "Junziyou", suddenly felt that this person had become very strange, as if he had never known him before.

Speaking of this, he actually already had a guess, but he didn't dare to admit it, and asked stubbornly, "...What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Of course I mean..." After speaking, "Gentleman You" stretched out his hand, starting from Ye Lanchen, pointed at all the people present, and smiled softly, "You, including the imperial court, the palace, etc. The city, the imperial capital, and even the whole world...no one can prove Ye Suifeng's death."

Ye Lanchen jumped up against the table, wanting to point at "Junziyou"'s nose and yell at him, but the moment he stood up, his eyes went dark, and then he fell down. It took a long time for his eyes to clear up, and he ruthlessly pushed away Xiao Junze who came to help him Even though he was unable to stand up, he still dragged his sick body to "Junziyou", pressed his knees, and asked in a low voice, "Say it again!"

The voice was hoarse and vague, as if speaking with blood in it.

"Gentleman You" lowered his eyes sadly, and his tone became lighter, "I mean, no one witnessed Ye Suifeng's death with his own eyes, just relying on hearsay, other people believe it's all right, even you, a son... "

"Do not……"

"After 14 years, his coffin was sent back to the mansion. If you are as filial as you, you will definitely not open the coffin to disturb his remains and confirm his life and death. With loyalty in mind, how could the emperor do such a rebellious thing."

"Stop it, stop it..."

"But people can change. His heart, like his face, has become something you can't recognize."

"Do not……"

"You do know."

"Shut up...shut up! It's not like that...it's not like that!!"

Facing the hoarse Ye Lanchen, "Gentleman You" was moved for a moment.However, the voice behind him still haunts the collapsed man, preventing him from escaping his nightmare.

"Ye Lanchen." Behind the screen, the real gentleman swallowed the blood from his throat, and said clearly every word with pain: "He is always by your side."
