I see the snow

In the middle of the night, the sky is starless.

In the mansion of Qin Tianjian Taishi, there were several soldiers in armor lined up neatly, everyone holding torches in their hands, and following the command of the chief, they spread out, enclosing the once prosperous mansion tightly.

The female family members were all tearful, embracing each other and leaning against each other. Taishi managed to maintain his composure, and stood in front of the door in a dark green official robe.

Li Sinian said: "Lord Taishi, please."

"I'm Tianyazi's 170th generation disciple... the imperial eunuch bestowed by the late king."

Tai Shi pursed his lips, his beard and hair fluttering slightly in the wind: "What are you... dare to be so disrespectful to me...!"

Li Sinian raised his hand and signaled the Minghuang decree in his hand: "Do you need me to read the imperial decree again? Lord Taishi."

"—Now, don't make it so ugly."

The eyes of the old man with white beard puffed up, but two guards stepped forward, hugged his arm from left to right, and dragged him back——

Tai Shideng yelled: "Presumptuous!! Let go, let me go!!"

Li Sinian sighed, then walked to his side, and said in a very low voice:

"Lord Tai Shi, not being violent to you is already my greatest patience. Do you know that a very important friend of mine has been recuperating at home for half a month because of your subordinate."

The old man's expression changed suddenly.

"His name is Lin Kun."

Li Sinian went on to say: "It's been a long time since you and your henchmen squeezed you out. I think... we have some debts, so it's better not to settle it now—at least not here. That's not decent, is it?"

Taishi was trembling all over, but Yudian Dadutong's expression had turned cold, and his index and middle fingers moved slightly.The long-bearded Taishi's face twitched, and a slaughter-like tearing howl suddenly sounded in the long night:

"Li Sinian—!! You will be punished!!"

"Your Majesty!!—Abolish the Qin Tianjian, there will be retribution!!!"

……

At the same time, Chang Jue Yu Zhuang.

The dense branches block most of the heat, and the ancient trees are so tall that even six or seven grown men might not be able to hug them.

There is a quiet fragrance of grass and trees floating in the air.

Yin Zhichuan was wearing a silver-white robe, and he was idly standing in the courtyard, holding a piece of crystal-clear snake jade between his fingers, looking at the sun.

There is a green jade eye in this jade, sometimes it looks clear and transparent, and sometimes it is a rich black color, as if there is emerald liquid flowing in it.

"Is this the 'beautiful forehead'?"

He asked foolishly.

The owner smiled and nodded, with a slightly flattering expression on his expression:

"The major general has good eyesight."

"good."

Yin Zhichuan said: "Beautiful is worthy of the name. Xihuai—"

He greeted the young man in white behind him: "Do you like it? I bought you a writing paperweight to play with?"

The man in white stood not too far from Yinzhi River, looking around all the time.

They have wandered around the capital of stars these few days, Xi Huai said that staying in the mansion was too boring, so Yin Zhichuan took him around.

It's just that this person was clearly proposed by himself and wanted to come out to have a look, but Yin Zhichuan brought him out, and he kept running around.

Sometimes if you don't pay attention, you don't know where you went.

Hearing the sound at this time, Xi Huai was taken aback, pulled his attention away from the surrounding environment, and looked towards Yinzhichuan silently and indifferently.

"I say."

Seeing him like that, Yinzhichuan knew that he hadn't listened to what he had just said, so he had to repeat it again: "Do you like this piece of snake jade? Take it back and give it to you as a paperweight?"

In fact, Xihuai has no shortage of paperweights. After Zhaoyue left, he doesn't write very much. Paperweights are really dispensable.

But he still walked over, took the jade ring from Yinzhichuan, looked down, and said, "Okay."

Yinzhichuan looked at him, Xihuai's complexion was that of a very pale beauty, slightly cold, but upon closer inspection, it seemed very tender.

Especially after seeing Xi Huai kissing him on the bed recently, when Yin Zhichuan looked at his usual estranged attitude, it felt like a feather fell out of his heart, and he wanted to scratch him.

...but that kind of numbness is just an itch, as if you want to scratch but can't scratch it, you can't tell what it feels like.

Under the sunlight, the jade-like skin in white clothes seemed to be slightly transparent, and the jet-black eyelashes fluttered on the eyelids, making Yin Zhichuan want to kiss him very much.

"Wrap it up if you like."

Mr. Yinqi, who was obviously fascinated by the beauty, said: "Master, please send a man to the mansion. If there is anything else you like, take it back with you if you like."

Xi Huai said hesitantly, "...I'll take another look."

Changjue Yuzhuang is a jade village dedicated to the royal family and nobles, and the jade materials in it are all the best.Someone once laughed and said that even if a piece of miscellaneous jade from Changjue Yuzhuang is taken out and put in an ordinary shop, it is enough to become a treasure of the shop.

The jade and silk used for each grand memorial ceremony are also supplied by Changjue Yuzhuang.

"Is this butterfly dream jade the jade that will be used for divination this year?"

Turning around, Xi Huai's gaze fell on a jade stone in a black box.

The jade was surrounded by layers of red brocade, but the outer shell was wrapped in a layer of coarse mud-like things.It looked gloomy, even a little dirty.

However, Xihuai knew that this was the special product "Diemengyu" in the Yindai Forest to the east of Shengyang.

As its name suggests, this jade is like a butterfly, and it has a process of "chrysalis". When it was first dug out, it was just a lump of dust, but when placed in the sun, it will appear flawless after being exposed to enough sun. Jade is very suitable for divination.

The owner smiled and said, "Yes, it was supposed to be used only in September."

"But because of the matter of the Qin Tianjian, the Holy Majesty ordered that the sacrificial offerings over the years be brought forward, and we have to take out these jades to meet the sun."

"Oh."

Xi Huai responded lightly and didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, he and Yin Zhichuan walked around the courtyard, randomly picked a few pieces of jade that looked good, and brought them back to the mansion together with the snake plate "beauty's forehead".

Yinzhichuan personally went to watch over the package while Xihuai waited in the yard.

The environment of Changjue Yuzhuang is quiet and quiet, and because the people who can come in are famous and dignitaries, there are not many guards.

Xi Huai stood in the courtyard for a while, and after a while he glanced casually around, seeing that there was no one there, he picked up the piece of Diemeng jade that was arched in the heavy brocade.

Diemengyu has shed half of its mud shell, showing its pure jade quality.

Xi Huai stroked it lightly with his fingers, but he didn't know where it moved, and after a while, he played it back again.

"Let's go."

After a while, Yin Zhichuan came out, waved his fingers slightly in front of Xi Huai's absent-minded eyes, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking, so concentrated."

Xi Huai was startled, looked back a little, and looked at Yinzhichuan.

Yinzhichuan signaled to the owner following behind: "Everything is ready, and it will be sent to the mansion in a while."

"Where are you going to play now?"

Xi Huai said lightly: "Let's go to Jinchan Temple."

"—I heard that there is a century-old pine tree there, isn't it?"

"uh-huh."

Yinzhichuan responded, and said casually: "You almost walked all over the capital of stars, are you tired?"

Xi Huai paused, but then saw that Yin Zhichuan just said it unintentionally, he quickly adjusted, smiled slightly and said:

"Not tired."

...Because if you don't go, you just won't be able to see it.

He thought silently in his heart.

This month when Qin Tianjian was sealed up and sent to prison, it seemed to be a month of prosperity.

The folks showed a short period of prosperity. The common people settled down and worked in peace and contentment. Countless families with daughters no longer had to worry about it. Shen Yan even issued an imperial edict, saying that from September onwards, the corvee labor would be reduced from the previous seven to five. , and countless people jumped up and down with joy, and all the people celebrated with their foreheads and hands.

However, this short-lived, illusory dream only lasted for a month——

In the first 24 solar terms after Qin Tianjian was sealed, a disaster suddenly occurred in the capital of stars:

First, the warehouse in the south of the city where the military secrets were kept was flooded, and all the files that had been stored for hundreds of years were burned overnight; and then the century-old biluo tree in Jinchan Temple also died inexplicably. This tree has been there for hundreds of years. History, in Shengyang, has always represented happiness and stability; in the end, even the suburbs a hundred miles away were not peaceful, and the Qianchongshan royal tomb where Shengyang's ancestors were buried was struck by lightning!The tombs of several former emperors were severely destroyed...

This kind of thing is extremely rare. Anyway, there has been no good news in the past few days, and it is all mourning.

It seemed that he had offended something and was deliberately punishing Sheng Yang.

Shen Yan was able to carry it at first, but it was just a natural disaster.The rumors from the imperial court were ignored, and only the corresponding officials were sent to deal with it, and those who failed their duties were suspended and fined according to the law.

And it was ordered that anyone who talks about the government and the Qin Tianjian behind their backs will be dismissed and sent to prison, and they will not be allowed to use it in this life.

However, just half a month after the rumors finally subsided, countless poisonous snakes and colorful scorpions sprang out of nowhere overnight.

These venomous snakes and scorpions are highly poisonous, and even the crops will die when they pass by, but they lurk in wells, crop fields, and wet alleys, biting more than [-]% of the people in the capital of stars and wilds.

These people turned to the medical clinic for help, but the medical clinic has limited doctors, so how can they take care of so many people, so they can only be encouraged to admit them.

Those people who could not get treatment lay outside the medical center and on the street, moaning and moaning, watching the blue snake venom spread to their chests little by little, waiting for the coming of death in horror.

Standing on the highest wall of Jinghua Palace, once you could see the prosperous capital of thousands of houses, now there is only mourning left.

But these are not the most frightening, the most frightening thing is that these poisoned people all had the same dream one night:

In the dream, an invisible deity lowered his eyes and nodded, but said indifferently that the reason why he was sent down to suffer such a catastrophe was punishment for the imperial court banning Qin Tianjian.

The author has something to say:

Shen Yan: It's too difficult for me.
