Time and Space Auditor

The mansion of Tai Xue Chang Qing Yongyan is also located in the northeast of Los Angeles, the location is relatively remote, it is close to the harem area, just pass through the side door and walk a few streets.

That place was the earliest residence of ministers in Los Angeles, and there were many old houses.Yongyan's family inheritance has been standing for a long time, and most of the old houses have become their assets over time.Compared with the surrounding new houses, the trees around the old house are much more prosperous, surrounded by layers of trees, it seems like a big hermit in the city.

But this place is not quiet at this time, and it is not a big deal, just because the snow is falling more and more, and the snow on the branches is accumulating too fast.Most of the trees in the old house are crown evergreen trees, and once the snow accumulates, it is easy to bend or break the branches.So a large group of servants were beating the branches with long bamboo poles.

Kara's horse was a little afraid of these people's fighting power, especially the bamboo poles, and shook its head and snorted heavily, refusing to move forward.None of the family members of the Yongquan mansion knew the national teacher, so they just pretended that he was passing by and kindly stepped forward to dissuade him and let him go another way.

Kalanama had no choice but to change lanes, and just turned the corner when a man suddenly appeared, wearing the same clothes as him, pushed him in, and then led the horse away.The moment Kara retreated, a secret door suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall covered by trees, and one person pulled him in.

The whole process lasted only three seconds, and Kara immediately concluded that this was premeditated, and looked around calmly after standing still.This is a low, man-made cave that only allows one person to pass through. There is faint light at the corner a few steps away, it should be the exit!Kara stood still for 1 minute, making sure that there was no one in the cave and that there was no danger, and then walked outside.

Outside the cave is an idyllic garden with low adobe thatched huts and bamboo fences. A few vegetable fields have been reclaimed beside the fences. Some vegetables are planted in the fields. One person is bending over to clear the snow and cut vegetables.

The man moved slowly, with a fat body, and his face could not be seen with a hood, but judging from the hands on the outside, he was older.

Kara had come to a conclusion on the identity of that person after thinking back and forth, and that person seemed to know that the other party had already guessed who he was, so he said with a smile: "This is my hobby. I like to plant something casually when I have nothing to do."

It is the voice of Yongyan, every word and sentence always carries the charm that others cannot imitate.Kara's eyes deepened, anticipating his visit, and bringing him here so cleverly, it seems that here in Yongyan, he can get answers to many questions.

Yongyan was still bending over to cut the vegetables, and the speed did not change at all. Kara waited quietly while watching Yongyan cut the vegetables in an orderly manner, and put them into the bamboo basket until it was full.

Only then did Yong Yan stand up and said with a smile: "This dish will only taste delicious after it has been exposed to snow, is the national teacher willing to taste it with the old man?"

"How disrespectful!" Carla laughed.

Yongyan put on his beard and smiled, "The national teacher is too flattering to the old man."

Kara was a little surprised. He remembered the conversation with Xie Lu on bcic about paying attention to the use of words. At that time, Xie Lu reminded him not to use words related to history, such as "Ye Gong loves dragons".He didn't think so at the time, thinking that people from the mainland like "Ye Gong loves dragons" can't understand it, but words like "learning without end" are easy to understand through the context.But this time he ran into a problem. "Que Zhi disrespect" comes from "Mencius", which means that if you refuse to accept an invitation or gift from others, it will be disrespectful.However, judging from the current context, Yongquan should understand his words as straightforward meanings such as nodding and agreeing, and should not penetrate the disrespectful meaning.

Yongyan didn't give any explanation for this, and he looked and behaved very naturally. He picked out the inedible parts of various vegetables one by one, and put them into a wooden basin for washing.The snow was heavy and the side of the well was very slippery. After all, Yongyan was too old to fetch water, so he smiled at Kara, "Can the national teacher help me?"

Yongyan pointed to the wooden barrel, and Kara took the wooden barrel to fetch water. He was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, anyway, he had found the right target, and he would always say what had to be said.After pouring the water into the tub, he rolled up his sleeves to help wash.Unexpectedly, he is wearing wide sleeves which are very difficult to pull. After struggling for a long time, he still fails. Yongyan is wearing a shirt with narrow sleeves, and he is washing vegetables while watching with a smile. The dishes are served.

Yongyan smiled more kindly, pushed open the door of the hut, and made an invitation gesture: "National teacher please!"

The room is not big, there is only one room, with simple decoration, a wooden table, two stools, and a heated Kang head against the wall.There is a peat charcoal stove on the wooden table, and there is a pot on the stove, and something is cooking and steaming!

If this kind of decoration is seen by Xie Lu, there must be all kinds of complaints. The hot kang, tables and chairs and hot pot were produced in different eras: the hot kang began to exist in the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and the earliest records of tables and chairs are in the Book of Later Han On the Internet, the hot pot is even more chaotic. Some talk about the Three Kingdoms and some talk about Sui Yangdi.The customs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were generally Tang Dynasty, which showed the weirdness of the house decoration.

It’s just that Xie Lu didn’t know what he was busy with at the moment, and he didn’t complain. Kara is not a professional historian. He has a little contact with it but can’t accurately distinguish the age.All he can do is to sit on the table gracefully and help Yongyan put the washed dishes on the table.

Yongyan arranged the dishes in an orderly manner, lifted the lid of the pot and said with a smile: "The humble house is simple, there is nothing to entertain, please forgive me by the teacher."

"Where! Master Yongyan did it with his own hands, it's not such an honor to be someone else!" Kara said with a smile.

Yongyan smiled and greeted: "Come! Try it first!"

Kara hurriedly held the bowl with both hands and passed it over. What Yongyan picked up was a piece of ordinary green vegetables. Kara picked it up and ate it. It was just fresh, nothing special.

Yong Yan also picked up a piece, and said with a smile after eating: "It tastes good! I just put two pieces of vegetables, one for the national teacher and one for me. If there is a third person, I can't afford to entertain him."

The taste is obviously not very good, but Yongyan deliberately mentioned it, and emphasized the two of them!After thinking about it, Karath understood what Yongyan meant. He was specifically emphasizing that only the two present could know what happened today, and he secretly closed all contact with Xie Lu.He laughed and said, "If a third person comes to such a delicacy, I won't let him eat it!"

Yongyan nodded, and put away his smile: "I've heard a little about what happened in the past few days, and I know a thing or two about the complexity of it, so I won't explain the specifics, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I really can't explain it clearly. "

After experiencing these days, Kara really felt that many things seemed reasonable, but in fact there was always an unspeakable contradiction.I'm afraid even someone like Yongyan can't explain this kind of disharmony, so he said, "Master Yongyan, please tell me what you know!"

"The first thing this old man wants to say is: Kanmo and Zisang do have friendship."

Yongyan directly pointed out the purpose of Kara's visit, and explained the truth without any concealment, and Kara's expression became serious.

"No one else knows about the two of them except the old man. Even the two of them themselves don't know that the old man knows about it. The time between the two of them was very short. At the time of His Majesty Qing Hao, the national teacher should have It is also heard that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was very chaotic at that time, and the house of a certain minister was ransacked every three to five times. Zisang was the servant of the second son of the Situ family at that time. Situ was convicted, and all males over 15 years old in the family were beheaded. He was implicated to change hands (resold again). Zisang had a slight reputation among the nobles at that time, and there were many people who tried to take him. Canmo secretly used his relationship to send him into the palace. The person who helped Canmo at that time was this The original owner of the garden was the old man's childhood friend. From then on, the old man knew about the relationship between the two. It is not necessary to go into details about their later affairs. Simply put, Zisang did not understand that Canmo sent him to the Gong was actually protecting him. On the contrary, Zisang hated Canmo and attacked the Canmo family while looking for an opportunity to rise to power. A few years later, the Canmo family was convicted but only beheaded one person. More than ten years later, His Majesty Qinghao passed away, and Zisang was buried with him, and Kan Mo returned to Los Angeles."

Yongyan's overview gives people infinite reverie, if Xie Lu heard it, he would definitely be able to make up a bloody drama.Kara didn't think too much about it, and it was enough to confirm the relationship between the two, which could reasonably explain Canmo's previous series of abnormal behaviors.

"The second thing I want to talk about is about Zhenyao." Yongyan didn't say it directly, but asked Kara a question first: "How does the national teacher evaluate Zhenyao?"

"He is a powerful person!" Kara affirmed first, and then changed the topic, "He is a person who cares about the country and the people, and understands the benefits!"

Yongyan nodded and smoothed his beard: "It's very accurate, Zhenyao is indeed such a person! He was born in a poor family, made a living by begging, and almost starved to death in the snow when he was seven years old. His Highness Xun saved him. His Highness Jing Xun was eager to learn, and often ran out of the palace to ask the old man for advice. That day, the old man was also sitting here waiting for His Highness Jing Xun, but when he came, he brought someone with him: ragged clothes shivering from the cold, that It was Zhenyao. Jing Xun asked the old man to order some food for Zhenyao. After Zhenyao finished eating, he dragged his thin body and kowtowed to Jing Xun three times. He was very strict and couldn't take him in easily, so he was allowed to rest for a few nights and gave him some silver. After ten years, each state recommended students to enter the Taixue, and the old man saw Zhenyao again. His appearance didn't change much, and he was still the same. He is cold, but his temperament is quite different. When he became an official in the court, the old man specifically asked him for his opinion. He chose the Tingwei Department. He started as a small orderly officer, was practical and diligent without arrogance or impetuosity, and finally became an official. Sima."

What Yongyan said made Kara's expression even more serious. As for Jing Xun, Zhenyao had the grace to save his life. Although Zhenyao is upright, he is by no means the kind of person who ignores kindness. Why did he force Jing Xun to this place? step?Thinking more deeply about Yongyan, he is telling the national teacher that neither Kanmo nor Zhenyao really wants to embarrass Jing Xun!So what do they want?

Kara's breathing stagnates, and the answer is ready to come out!What they want is the truth about "the Northern Zhou royal family is cursed"! ! !

Kara raised her head sharply, stared at Yongyan and asked, "Is that rumor true?"

Yongyan shook his head calmly: "I can't answer this question, because I really don't know! I really can't tell!"

Yongyan's reaction convinced Kara that he really didn't know!Kara closed her eyes and went over the matter. Canmo and Zhenyao made things difficult for Jing Xun because of the royal family matter. Zisang has the most research on the royal family matter. He must have been silenced because of this matter!According to the previous investigation, it is impossible for Zhenyao and Jing Xun to kill him.Neither the assumption that Zhenyao pretended to be exonerated at the scene nor the assumption that Jing Xun arranged for another person to obstruct him will not be true!Because if it is really just this possibility, I believe that Yi Yongyan's ability will definitely be able to detect it, and he must be blunt at this moment!Can Mo had doubts at first, but now it seems that it is the most impossible. Of course he and Wan Jun are left, and he knows whether he has done it himself!As for Wan Jun, that kind of villain might not dare to do such a thing!But the possibility that it was indeed him cannot be ruled out.In fact, it can be said this way: if Wan Jun really did this, it would be relatively simple.If it wasn't Wan Jun who did it, then it was a terrible organization that really did it.

Kara was having a headache. Instead of thinking about how to clear the fog, he was thinking about whether he should participate in such a complicated situation.

Yongyan seemed to have anticipated Kara's reaction, and said in an unusually solemn tone: "Master! The inexplicable secret of the royal curse has existed in Dazhou for so many years, and many people have been seeking its truth. But after so many years No one will know! It’s not that the royal family hid it too well, it’s that they really can’t find out!”

Yongyan's words made Kara instantly realize why Jing Xun made him a national teacher, and why a veteran like Yongyan was the first to stand up to support him!It was because they really couldn't find out the truth, and they hoped that a person like him who suddenly appeared and appeared so strange might be able to help them!

"National teacher!" Yongyan got up, and made a very solemn salute, "I don't expect the national teacher to agree to this matter, but I ask the national teacher to think about it!"

Yongyan is one of the few people in Northern Zhou that Kara respects. Facing such a solemn request from him, Kara couldn't bear to immediately refuse: "I will consider it. Before that, I want to ask Master Yongyan something!"

"National Teacher, please speak!"

"Master Yongyan, do you know where the 'Land of Returning to Yuan' is?" Kara asked, just based on what Yongyan said just now, Carla can't completely believe it. Only when the Land of Returning to Yuan really exists can this be fully proved it is true.
