She suddenly felt a dull pain in her heart, and Qi Jian was a little excited when she heard Zhang Tang's voice.

"It's Master Zhang Tang,"

"Snapped,"

Chen Ajiao directly threw a roll of bamboo slips on the lacquered table and hit him, looking at him coldly.

"It's him, do you want to go out and look for it again? Don't get me into trouble with such a big battle next door."

Her voice was too cool and cold, and it contained endless sarcasm, which made people feel chills in their hearts. Qi Jian's hair was swept by the bamboo slips, messing up his temples, and he stood trembling underneath.

Zhao Wanhua and Ruan Yue who were standing next to them were stunned by Chen Ajiao's sudden turn of events, and they stood aside speechless.

Chen Ajiao propped her forehead with her hand, and waved her hand, "Forget it, you guys go down, there's a lot of unrest outside, don't go out and cause trouble these days."

Qi Jian was extremely wronged, and went out clutching his head.

Seeing this, Chen Ajiao couldn't help but find it funny, Zhang Tang's dead face was smashed so many times by herself and still expressionless, this Qi Jian is not as good as he can bear.

Having said that, the voice just now was indeed Zhang Tang.

Dongfang Shuo ran away with the emperor's sweetheart, did Liu Che become angry and lead others to catch up?It's a pity that Dongfang Shuo is old and cunning, and now he doesn't know where he has gone.

There is a curfew in Chang'an City, and it is extremely quiet at night. Ordinary people's homes can't even see many lights, but there are lanterns and torches next door, and it is full of daylight.

Dongfang Shuo's former residence was already empty in the courtyard. Liu Che stood in front of the court with his hands behind his back. Zhang Tang led people in to search for a while, and went out to report to Liu Che: "Everything is cleaned up. I'm afraid it's been a long time."

Liu Che stood there for a long time. In front of the steps was the frosty moonlight. He raised his hand, and his wide sleeves embroidered with exquisite patterns followed suit, casting a deep shadow on the steps. He actually laughed: "Please!" Not worth it, Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Shuo..."

Zhang Tang didn't speak, but someone came up from behind, "Master Tingwei, I found a bamboo slip here."

Before Zhang Tang could speak, Liu Che cut it off directly: "Give it to me."

The little official presented the things carefully, Liu Che took it over, unfolded the bamboo slip, "Push...en...ling?"

Zhang Tang frowned, he never liked Dongfang Shuo, only because of his support, he let go, he didn't pay attention to His Majesty, and this person pretended to be a ghost, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods in the world, everything was in accordance with the law, but Dongfang Shuo He always likes to play tricks of mystery, but Liu Che still likes Dongfang Shuo.It's a good thing that Dongfang Shuo left by himself, but now Dongfang Shuo's troubles are gone, but there is still another trouble next to Dongfang Shuo.

I just hope Chen Ajiao will stay there obediently.

He found that there were more and more things he needed to worry about...

Liu Ling's matter has not yet come to fruition.

Tweet order.

Liu Che's pupils contracted sharply, and then he unfolded all the bamboo slips, and looked at them from the dim light on the steps.

Zhang Tang's heart sank, and he asked, "Your Majesty, this is—"

After reading the next few sentences, Liu Che snapped the bamboo slip together and shouted, "Go find it for me and see if there are any bamboo slips left in the room!"

Then he handed over the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhang Tang, and Zhang Tang took a look. Although the expression on his face remained the same, there was a turmoil in his heart.When he raised his head again, Liu Che had already entered the hall. Zhang Tang hurriedly scanned it, knowing that the bamboo slips were not enough.

He followed up, but the government officials searched all the places, but did not find any more bamboo slips.

Liu Che smashed the lacquer case fiercely, with a bit of irritability in his expression, he flicked his sleeves, "Where did you find the bamboo slips just now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is under the lacquer case, which is not very eye-catching. If the little official is not careful..."

Zhang Tang glanced at the corners of the lacquer table, but saw that the four corners of the lacquer table were sunken deep, so he speculated: "There should be many bamboo slips here, but it seems that Dongfang Shuo had already moved the bamboo slips away when he left. The condition of the bamboo slips must have been accidentally left behind."

He stepped forward and presented the bamboo slip again, Liu Che took it over, read it several times, and finally heaved a long sigh.

Zhang Tang was neither hot nor cold, neither happy nor angry, and said: "Your Majesty is thirsty for talents, but Dongfang Shuo doesn't know how to flatter him. There are countless wise men in the world. Are you afraid that you won't find someone who is better than Dongfang Shuo?"

Liu Che stood up, looked around the empty room, but shook his head in silence, as if he disagreed with Zhang Tang's words.

"I've missed so many things," he said.

Slowly walking out from behind the case, he hit his palm with the bamboo slips, and slowly went outside the house, and then to the front of the steps, Zhang Tang waved his hand to let the government officials back, and followed Liu Che, but saw Liu Che It turned out to be a lonely expression.

Too many things are missing.

Who knows what those are?

Liu Che glanced at the courtyard: "Is this the courtyard given to him by Empress Dowager Dou?"

"Yes." Suddenly asking about these things made Zhang Tang a little uncertain.

He was dressed in court clothes, with a dignified posture, and he was extremely rigorous standing on this step.

"During the early court today, you and Ji An were arguing about war and peace. What do you think of Ji An?" Liu Che thought of what happened in the early court today, and began to hesitate. He was still uncertain about whether to fight or make peace with the Xiongnu. It is difficult to settle down in my heart for a day.

Zhang Tang clasped his hands in front of him, but when he heard the words, he slightly raised his lips, with a contemptuous expression: "Stupid!"

He didn't even bother to comment more on this person.

"Ji An is sick, and he can be regarded as a loyal minister. It is too much for you to argue with him today." Liu Che's eyes were a little dim, and he walked down a step. It was hard to see a virtuous person like Dongfang Shuo. , but he will have more and more famous ministers under him...he will still become the overlord, he never doubts.

Turning around to look at Zhang Tang, but seeing the lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes again, he sighed: "I know that you and Ji An are at odds, but there is no need to be so obvious in front of others."

"This matter has nothing to do with the harmony or discord between the minister and Ji An, it is the change of Li Ling, Guan Fu, even if it is your majesty—the minister is the same, debate to the end."

Zhang Tang, also known as Zhang Gu, is famous for his stubbornness, not to mention that Liu Che's words are nothing more than suspecting that Zhang Tang has a personal grudge with Ji An, so he always opposes Ji An, but he doesn't know that Ji An is always against him Right?

Zhang Tang is not willing to back down on this matter in the officialdom of the court.

After hearing what he said, Liu Che pointed at him with the bamboo slip: "Zhang Tang, you will pay the price for your stubbornness sooner or later."

Zhang Tangxin said that I have already paid the price.As for Ji An, it is not enough to worry about.

At this moment, Zhang Tang is in the rank of Jiuqing, but Ji An is still just a servant, far from him, but he still opposes him everywhere. Sometimes Zhang Tang wonders when he offended such a sick person as Ji An , Thinking about it, but always thinking of Ji An accusing him of not being a public official.

He absolutely cannot tolerate this person.

"Zhang Tang is not stubborn, but not flexible."

Liu Che was finally laughed at by him, "You Zhangtang, I don't want to talk about you anymore. Now Dongfang Shuo has left, and the search can't find anything. He has been gone for two days, and he may have left Chang'an long ago. Today we I will go too."

So Zhang Tang waved his hand, and everyone withdrew.

Before leaving, Liu Che stood on the side of the street and looked back at the house. In the darkness, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but the light of the nearby torch was reflected in his eyes, and it seemed that something was burning in his eyes.

"Has Dongfang Shuo had any contact with this neighbor?" He suddenly asked.

Zhang Tang shuddered in his heart, but shook his head and said: "Since he is going to leave, how can he stay? He pretends that he has no plans, and it is impossible to tell others about his whereabouts."

In fact, Liu Che also had a fluke in his heart. Hearing what Zhang Tang said was right. When he left, he suddenly remembered: "I remember that Li Yannian also lives here, right? Who is next door to Dongfang Shuo?"

"One is Li Yannian, and the other is a newlywed family."

Zhang Tang just said that very simply.

Liu Che glanced at the signboard of Qiao's house, but he didn't have any doubts. When the attendant led the horse, he turned over and said, "I'm going back to the palace, you continue to pay attention to whether there is any news about Dongfang Shuo, and report it to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

So Liu Che rode away, followed by a group of people.

Zhang Tang stood still on the spot, and the little official beside him cautiously approached: "Master Tingwei, do we still need to search?"

"Whatever you search, I will remove the person." Zhang Tang said in a straight tone, without thinking.

The little official was stunned for a moment: "But this...Didn't Your Majesty say..."

Zhang Tang turned his head to look at him, "I told you not to search, you just do it. In addition, if you find any news about Dongfang Shuo, you don't have to report it."

He waved his hands behind him: "Take everyone back with you."

"Yes."

The densely packed officials of the Tingwei Mansion in the back all left, and the whole street became deserted at once.

Zhang Tang thought for a long time before walking over and knocking on the door of Qiao's residence.

Chen Ajiao has been listening to the movement outside the house. She is very familiar with Liu Che's voice. She walked out slowly when the voice became quieter. In the outer courtyard, she saw Liu Che standing by the door Qi Jian.

Qi Jian seemed to be on guard for something, and was taken aback when he saw Chen Ajiao at this moment.

The knock on the door only came at this time.

"Knock knock knock..."

Qi Jian glanced at Chen Ajiao. Chen Ajiao made a show, but covered her lips with her sleeve. Every time she made this action, she had some thoughts.

Qi Jian asked in a low voice, "Who?"

Zhang Tang's deep voice came from outside: "Zhang Tang is asking to see Mrs. Qiao."

The moment she heard Zhang Tang's voice, Chen Ajiao breathed a sigh of relief, and waved Qi Jian to open the door.

In the darkness, the gap in the door gradually widened, and then it was blocked by Zhang Tang. He stepped in, glanced at Qi Jian, and then at Chen Ajiao.

Chen Ajiao has no expression on her face, her eyes are deep, and she can't see anything in the night.

She clasped her hands in her sleeves, so she couldn't see a single thing from the outside, and said softly, "Master Zhang, please follow me."

She walked through the long corridor in the atrium first, and led the people through the corridor of Chaoshou. When she was about to enter the living room, Zhang Tang turned back to Qi Jian and said, "You should stay outside."

Chen Ajiao ignored it, she came to the lacquer table, there was a stove in winter, with hot water on it, she had expected him to come, this time is just right to make tea.

Lifting the kettle, picking up the pot with tea leaves on the side, washing the tea once, pouring out the tea for the first time, and then refilling the boiling water. During this period, she didn't say a word, as if I really enjoyed the process.

The fragrance of tea came out, Chen Ajiao knelt on the side of the table, held the wooden teacup to Zhang Tang with both hands, and finally said: "Today is the second time I see Master Zhang, I feel that every time I meet you Nothing good."

"Madam is serious." Zhang Tang lowered his eyes, but frowned slightly, but when he smelled the fragrance of tea, he couldn't help but relax. His eyes were full of evil spirits that could not be dispelled, and his whole body was cold and solemn. , but made Chen Ajiao see the somewhat unconcealable evil spirit.

"Finally... there is no danger..." Chen Ajiao's fingertips were cold, and when they landed on the teacup, they felt a little hot. , I will live in seclusion."

Zhang Tang heard that this was a guarantee to himself, he paused, but the knot in his heart could not be solved.

After a long, long silence, knowing that the temperature of the wooden cup in his hand had dropped a bit, Zhang Tang finally said, "If Your Majesty has no more affection for Madam..."

Chen Ajiao spilled some of the tea in her hand, her eyes were lowered, her fingers trembled uncontrollably just now, is Zhang Tang making fun of her?She sneered, and slowly took the brocade to wipe off the tea stains. Her slender fingers rested on the plain white brocade, as if they wanted to blend into one.

Zhang Tang is not the kind of person who always makes fun of others. There must be a reason for him to say such things.

Chen Ajiao suddenly seemed to be blocked by something, she raised her head, "Zhang Tang, speak carefully."

The author has something to say:

But Ji An in the history books often gets sick_(:з」∠)_

And when Zhang Tang was not dead, he was against Zhang Tang to QAQ
