White-haired Demon Lord and Senior Brother

◎Changed to Sui Sui Nian ◎

The next morning, at the time of Chen Shi, Zhu Yanfeng came to the gate of Jinling Pavilion and saw that the courtyard gate was half closed, so he opened the door and walked into Jinling Pavilion.A young man was sweeping the floor, when he turned his head and saw Zhu Yanfeng, he greeted "Good morning, Shaoqing" with a playful smile.

Zhu Yanfeng only nodded slightly, without saying anything, went straight into the main room, came to an almost empty table, opened one of the wooden brocade boxes, took out a seal, looked at the bottom of the red ink pad, This was Huang Yan's seal, so he put it back into the brocade box, opened another brocade box, took out another seal, looked at the bottom, and could vaguely see the words 'Shaoqing Zhu Yanfeng' from the remaining red ink pad lettering.

In the main room, only Zhu Yanfeng was busy writing attendance records, and all the young people quietly gathered outside the door to peek at his actions.Ba Ci couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Yesterday morning, Daqing was on a business trip, Shaoqing came to write attendance records early in the morning, and today he came to write attendance records early in the morning, so he didn't come to supervise us..."

Cen Xiaowu replied in a low voice: "Shaoqing's task is to assist Daqing and act as Daqing's second pair of eyes!"

Miao Jiahu only cared in a low voice: "Is Shaoqing sitting in Jinling Pavilion today?"

The companions immediately shook their heads slightly, expressing that they did not know.

After Zhu Yanfeng finished writing the attendance record, he turned his head and looked outside the door. The young people immediately tensed up and pretended to be passing by, and then greeted Zhu Yanfeng, "Good morning Shaoqing".

Zhu Yanfeng put the seal back into the wooden brocade box, and opened his lips: "During the few days when Daqing is away, I will supervise the duties of the Jinling Pavilion, but I also have other things to do in the Elder Pavilion, and I will probably come over occasionally every day Take a look."

Ba Ci replied: "Shaoqing don't need to be so troublesome, we will work hard and promise not to be lazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Hengzhi on the side immediately stretched out his long arms to cover Ba Ci's mouth, and complained in a low voice: "You have 300 taels of silver here..."

Zhu Yanfeng said: "This is what I promised him." Glancing at the young people in the audience, he reminded: "Shouldn't you start your own tasks?"

All the young people dispersed immediately, and those who should clean continued to clean, and those who should enter the main room to work walked into the main room, creating a busy scene as usual.

Zhu Yanfeng walked out of the main room, came to the corner, squatted down, and took a look at the three pots of succulents placed there. He checked the leaves and soil, and after confirming that the growth was in good condition, he stood up, walked to the ear room diagonally opposite, and entered In the ear chamber.

Bypassing the gold-painted and black-lacquered screen carved with blue dragons, white tigers, and rosebirds, and coming to Maitreya's couch, Zhu Yanfeng tidied up the Chinese seats, pillows, and tea tables, and also tidied up the ancient shelves by the wall, picked up a light celadon pot, and lifted the lid. Glancing at the incense powder in the pot, he said to himself: "There is not much incense powder left. When Yan'er comes back, I have to tell him."

After putting the porcelain pot back on the shelf, he looked at the paper and incense ink, and even the brush on the pavilion-shaped pen holder and the lotus-leaf-shaped inkstone. He didn't find any vacancy or defect, so he was relieved. Dust lightly with a feather duster.

Several people crowded outside the door to peek for a while, and Cen Xiaowu couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Shaoqing is cleaning the room where Daqing often lives, and he is more serious and hardworking than us."

Xuan Hengzhi was moved in a low voice: "Shaoqing is really kind! Such a hard job, he is reluctant to let us do it."

Dou Qingqian couldn't help it either, and sighed in a low voice: "Usually, only a few of us can finish cleaning this room, but Shaoqing cleaned so much at once, which makes me ashamed."

Ba Ci couldn't help telling the truth: "Because we usually desert while cleaning, and our hands are too clumsy..."

Xuan Heng was afraid that Zhu Yanfeng would hear his companion's mouth talking, so he quickly covered his mouth and dragged him back to the main room.Dou Qingqian and the others looked back, and when they saw Ba Ci reaching out for help, they only covered their eyes, pretending not to see it.

Suddenly the door of the side room opened, and Zhu Yanfeng stood in front of them, staring blankly at their faces.Cen Xiaowu immediately blurted out with a playful smile: "Shaoqing! I will leave this matter to my subordinates, so why bother you personally!"

Zhu Yanfeng said: "I just have nothing to do." Then he looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and said: "I'm going back to the Elder's Pavilion to do some business."

Dou Qingqian said with a playful smile, "Send off Shaoqing! Good luck Shaoqing!"

Cen Xiaowu enthusiastically said: "Congratulations to Shaoqing! This door will be closed by the subordinates for Shaoqing!" Then he closed the door of the ear room.

Zhu Yanfeng left Jinling Pavilion with peace of mind, and walked on the road, he couldn't help but say to himself: "I don't know what will happen to Yan'er after he arrives in Pingjing? What's the weather like in Pingjing? Eat well and sleep well. I'm already in Jinling Pavilion. After tidying up his usual place, he will be able to rest well when he comes back, as for the Jinyun Tower, wait until I finish the tasks assigned by the Elder Pavilion."

At the same time, Yangui Island——

Wu Yan walked through a forest of flowers and came to the weaving courtyard. Yang Qingyuan followed him slowly and entered the courtyard.It was a busy scene in front of me, with many figures coming in and out between the house and the yard, some carrying large and small jars, some carrying plain cloth, some carrying buckets to deliver and change water , Some people carry boxes.

Wu Yan glanced back at Yang Qingyuan, and opened his lips: "This is the place where the Murong family tries to make new cloth. It has commercial secrets, and outsiders are not allowed to enter casually."

Yang Qingyuan asked: "Do I look like someone who will steal your secrets?"

Wu Yan asked back: "There are many interesting places in the villa, why do you keep coming?"

Yang Qingyuan smiled and said: "I just look at you, if you go, naturally follow you."

Wu Yan said: "I'm here for inspection, this is a task assigned by my father, you can't follow and disturb."

Yang Qingyuan looked at the busy figures passing by, and replied: "Okay, I can wait here for you to come out, but you can always tell me-what treasures are contained in these jars and boxes, which are worth moving go?"

Wu Yan thought for a while, and felt that these things were not a secret, so he said generously: "The ones in the jar are colored powders, that is, dyes. The ones in the box are engravings for printing and dyeing fabrics."

The eight doors in front were all open, Wu Yan no longer chatted with Yang Qingyuan, stepped across the threshold and entered the deep courtyard, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yang Qingyuan murmured: "You didn't let me in because you were afraid that I might see your family's business secrets, so I won't go into the weaving room, the dyeing room, the embroidery room, the printing room, but just walk around in the yard in front of the house and have a look." Is it okay?" With a chuckle, he quickly stepped over the threshold and walked into the deep courtyard.

I don't know which room Wu Yan has entered, Yang Qingyuan is not in a hurry, just walking around in the huge courtyard, looking up at the thousands of feet of new cloth hanging on the towering bamboo poles, and walking leisurely through the cloth with his hands behind his back, It's like walking into the sea.

An hour later, Wu Yan left the printing room and was about to go to the remaining embroidery room. When he passed through the courtyard, he saw Yang Qingyuan admiring the new cloth on the drying rack, so he immediately stepped forward and opened his lips: "You Why did you come in so rashly?"

Yang Qingyuan replied: "I came in, just to watch here, but I didn't peek at your family's business secrets, so you don't have to be nervous."

Wu Yan thought that he had no evidence to prove that the man in front of him peeked at the weaving process, so he didn't care about it.At this time, Yang Qingyuan pointed to a certain piece of cloth on the high place, and said to him: "This piece of cloth is not bad, can you give me a few feet?"

Wu Yan replied: "Give it to you? These cloths will need to be taped, printed, and embroidered, and then distributed to various branches on land, even if it's less than ten feet."

Yang Qingyuan said regretfully: "It seems that I can only buy the cloth in your family's cloth shop."

Wu Yan replied: "That's not necessarily the case. If there is a lot of surplus cloth, my family will use it to make new clothes."

Yang Qingyuan's eyes glowed, and he hurriedly asked: "Is there any spare cloth for that piece of cloth?"

Wu Yan replied: "I'm not sure if there will be any surplus of the new cloth you fancy. However, if there is, I will try to leave a few feet for you."

Yang Qingyuan was very happy just because of this sentence, so he didn't know the severity, so he leaned close to Wu Yan, kissed Wu Yan's cheek lightly, Wu Yan was surprised, pushed him aside forcefully, and then strode away.

Yang Qingyuan steadied his feet and did not fall, but seeing Wu Yan walking so fast, he was afraid that Wu Yan would get angry, so he hurriedly lied to please Wu Yan, and shouted loudly: "Wu Yan! I am for my brother!"

Before noon, in Pingjing City, Huang Yancai had just left Miyagi alone, but this time he entered the palace to no avail, the eunuch only told him that Su Zhongming was just busy with fitness and it was inconvenient to meet guests, so he had no choice but to leave Miyagi, and then summoned Zhu Yun Zhan, and go to Shenhu Mountain with him.

Arriving at the entrance of the mountain villa, Zhu Yunzhan took the initiative to push open the dusty door for Huang Yan. Seeing that the front yard was already full of corpses, rusty weapons and large areas of old blood, he couldn't help being a little stunned.

Among the two, only Huang Yan was the calmest. He carefully avoided the bones and walked forward.Zhu Yunzhan immediately followed and walked forward, looking at the bones under his feet, and couldn't help saying: "My dear..., these people's bones have never been buried?"

Huang Yan replied: "All those who died died here, and those who escaped went unpunished. Who else will bury them for them?"

Zhu Yunzhan felt it was a pity, folded his palms together, and gently bowed to these miserable bones while walking. Huang Yan looked back at his actions, but didn't say a word. Along the way, he carefully looked at the bones.

Zhu Yunzhan followed closely behind Huang Yan, inspecting the bones with him, with a quiet and serious appearance, Huang Yan couldn't help turning his head, and said to Zhu Yunzhan: "You are not curious, why did you come to search here again? Look at these Bones?"

Zhu Yunzhan replied: "What Daqing ordered is the task of the subordinates, and I dare not ask too many questions."

Huang Yan said with a smile: "Smart people know how to be courteous and respectful, and they don't easily trample on other people's bottom line, while dull people often don't have such a respectful attitude. Your attitude makes me happy, so I can tell you ——Previously, Ben Daqing ordered them to check here, but only the bones have not been checked, maybe the bones have some clues."

Zhu Yunzhan became more and more curious: "These bones all existed before the establishment of the Taizheng court, so will it be related to the series of strange cases that happened later?"

Huang Yan replied: "Maybe there are some clues accidentally left on the bones."

The two came all the way to the deep courtyard, and Zhu Yunzhan persuaded: "Dear Qing, rest first, and then leave it to your subordinates!"

Huang Yan waved his hand lightly, signaling no need, and then walked to an open space in front of the rockery. On the ground where thick dust had accumulated, there was a particularly conspicuous imprint. It was the outline of a mask, but the mask was nowhere to be seen. Leave marks.Huang Yan squatted down halfway, took a look, and remembered very clearly in his heart that in the battle that year, Yingqing knocked down his mask here, and now the mask has disappeared.

Huang Yan ordered: "Look around and see if there is a mask around here."

Zhu Yunzhan immediately responded: "Yes!" and began to search around. After half an hour, he returned to Huang Yan's back and reported: "I will tell you, my subordinates searched all the corners here, and found nothing. A mask."

Huang Yan raised the corners of his lips, hummed lightly, and said, "The seal of the master is missing, the roster of disciples is also missing, and even a mask is missing. It seems that they were taken away by the same person."

Zhu Yunzhan was curious: "Why does this person even take away a mask that was abandoned here? This mask is so precious, can it be exchanged for money?"

Huang Yan's smile suddenly became a bit bitter: "It's something left on the body of the sect leader before he was arrested."

Zhu Yunzhan understood, but did not dare to make random judgments.

Huang Yan continued: "Both the seal and the mask are in his hands, even if he intends to impersonate, he will not be suspected."

Zhu Yunzhan couldn't help but said, "Could it be that this person was the original disciple before?"

Huang Yan turned around and asked, "How did you see it?"

Zhu Yunzhan replied bluntly: "If an outsider intends to pretend to be the head, he must create a new mask himself. He will deliberately take away this old mask to show that he was a disciple before and has some feelings for the head."

Huang Yan said with a smile: "In this villa, there are many people who have feelings for the head of the sect, and Tiwu is one of them."

Zhu Yunzhan asked: "Your Majesty, there are no other clues here, do you want to look elsewhere?"

Huang Yan turned around and walked towards another small courtyard. Zhu Yunzhan followed his steps closely, not daring to take a slow step.
