Startled Meng

As soon as the snow melted in Yecheng, the small flower buds on the branches were exposed, and the tender green receptacles had a slight spring feeling, but the weather was still cold, and pedestrians still wore thick clothes. The only people who dared to wear thin clothes were those who were walking around the streets to deliver goods. The girl in the flower building.

Not only is the exposed white tender neck attracting attention, but the shrill voice also makes pedestrians twist their necks.

"Shopkeeper, there was osmanthus oil when I came last time, why is it gone now?"

Yousu raised her finger and asked: "Could it be that you are too lazy to move, and you don't want to turn over the warehouse, so you use this jasmine hair oil to fool the servant?"

The shopkeeper was impatient: "They are all the same price, why not use them?"

"Young master prefers the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, what can I do?" Yousu made a fuss, lifted the curtain and walked to the back of the shop, "If you don't want to look for it, I will look for it myself!"

"Hey! What are you doing? Can you go to the back door?" The shopkeeper shouted, but he didn't chase after him.

Yousu ran wild all the way, ran out of the back door angrily, saw the car parked outside the door, immediately collapsed on it, had already put on a cute appearance when boarding the car, Fushen said: "Master Yan."

Yan Cijing looked dignified, and said: "There is no need to be formal, just tell me, what did Heiying say after I left yesterday?"

You Su groaned for a while, and confessed all the news that he had overheard outside the door: "Yesterday, after my lord left, Yang Xun came, and Black Eagle complained to Yang Xun that his superiors were acting in a strange way, and he only loved to make things difficult for his subordinates. Yang Xun also echoed a few words .”

"Only?"

Yousu asked: "What's wrong?" She felt that Yan Cijing breathed a sigh of relief, and she unconsciously relaxed and leaned against the car wall.

Yan Cijing shook his head: "I see, you go, be careful in everything."

Hei Ying asked him to meet yesterday and told him that a group of people in the city were deliberately causing trouble secretly, and asked him to pay more attention to the changes in the city.

At that time, he broke out in a cold sweat. If he guessed correctly, Zhang Shaoqiu's act of revealing clues to the government office, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, had already made Wei Cheng start to investigate other people in Ye City. As far as language is concerned, it is a great disadvantage.

He was worried last night, but after listening to You Su's words today, he realized that Wei Cheng was only suspicious, not sure, and that Hei Ying, who was doing things, was not wholehearted, so he told Yu to be more careful.

It's a pity that he still has social engagements in the future, and the matter of exhortations will have to wait until evening.

There was movement outside the car, presumably Juniper was driven away and came back, Yan Cijing ordered: "Let's get on the road."

Juniper lifted the curtain and came in, offering shortbread in a paper bag: "The red bean shortbread that your lord wants."

Yan Cijing almost forgot, then put it down.

It was Xu Wen, the censor, who handed him the post, and the location was set in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.

Advisers love to pass papers to the emperor, and it stands to reason that they are disgusted with most of the court officials, but Xu Wen is good, whether it is Wei Dang or Zhang Dang, he gets along well.

So many people came, the hall was full of people.

When Yan Cijing entered, Xu Wen stood up to greet him in person, with just the right smile on his face.

"Thank you Master Xu for your invitation. The early cherry blossoms in the courtyard are extremely beautiful." Yan Cijing presented a pot of daughter's red.

Xu Wen didn't think it was wrong at all, so he took it generously: "Master Yan, please."

Yan Cijing found an inconspicuous seat, but many colleagues stood up to greet him, and Yan Cijing returned the greetings one by one, knowing in his heart that Xu Wen's attitude towards him had been noticed by others.

And Xu Wen's attitude towards him depends on his relationship with Wei Cheng.

This is the subtlety of Xu Wen being an official. He doesn't stand in line easily, and accepts everything according to the order. Wei Cheng is willing to help him marry a daughter. feast.

It turned out to be another demeanor of an admonishing official.

Yan Cijing was deeply impressed, so he gave him a pot of daughter red, wishing him a smooth marriage.

This banquet is in the name of viewing cherry blossoms, but the four doors are tightly closed, and only shadowy shapes can be seen in the room. Fortunately, the fragrance of pink cherry blossoms is strong, and you can smell it even when the doors and windows are closed. .

Officials from the two camps were mixed in the hall, and it would be bloody if it involved the government. In order not to embarrass the master, everyone picked some trivial things to talk about.

Whoever held a new hundred-day banquet, whoever found a good son-in-law, discussed the newly acquired calligraphy, and even invited them to visit the flower house.

Yan Cijing felt very bored, it would be better to lie on the low bed in the mansion and read a book, and have fun with the clingy young master.

After staying for a while, he quietly opened the door and left. He let out a suffocating breath under the early cherry tree, covering his cheeks so hot in the room, Yan Cijing decided to walk around while dispersing the smell of alcohol.

Walked two or three steps to the ear room, saw that the door was not closed, took a few more glances, and heard a weak cough, which was very familiar.

"Who is outside the door? Come in?"

Recognizing the voice, Yan Cijing opened the door to greet him: "I have seen King Rui."

"Don't be too polite."

King Rui was lying on the bed with a pale face, pulling the blanket with his hands and feet to keep warm, but he couldn't shake it off, so it was Yan Cijing who stepped forward to help cover it.

Yan Cijing said: "I don't know that King Rui is here, but if he didn't come to pay his respects, I'm guilty."

King Rui waved his hand indifferently, the five fingers were as thin as a young tree that died young, which matched his light voice.

"The king was fine when he came, but for some reason, he fell ill again. He appeared in front of people so sickly, for fear of spoiling the interest of others, so he asked Mr. Xu for a hut to rest for a while."

He asked again, "How about Zao Sakura outside the courtyard?"

Yan Cijing replied: "Gorgeous and colorful."

King Rui smiled regretfully, "Admiring the flowers when you are sick, you are reckless." He coughed again, and Yan Cijing saw that his face was flushed from coughing, and hurried forward to pour water for him.

King Rui's servant rushed in with ginseng soup, took out a hand stove from his arms and stuffed it into King Rui's hand, worried: "It's windy in the suburbs of Beijing, King Rui, let's go back home?"

Xu Wen also ran in to complain: "The boy who asked to buy charcoal fire has returned. The charcoal fire shop has been sealed up, and there is no purchase. It is too cold in the courtyard. I will send King Rui back to the mansion!"

King Rui coughed so hard that he couldn't speak, he nodded and asked the boy to help him put on his shoes.

Yan Cijing bowed and sent Rui Wang and others away.

King Xu Shirui's cough was harsh, and Yan Cijing felt uneasy.

As the weather gets warmer, ordinary people don’t need to wear jackets, and there are fewer charcoal fires, but it’s not impossible to buy charcoal. Xu Wen said that the charcoal fire shop has been closed...

Which one is it sealed?Why seal it?

It was Yujia who was banned, and he was banned on suspicion of setting fire to the mountain.

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice handles the case, and the idlers leave as soon as possible!" The policeman showed his card, but he couldn't drive away the crowds of onlookers, and he couldn't shake the Yu who stood with his hands behind his back in the shop.

The shopkeeper wanted to cry: "Even if you give me 1 guts, I wouldn't dare to set fire to the mountain!"

The policeman had a cold face: "Received the report, before the incident, someone saw you transporting a large amount of kerosene from your shop, and a wooden barrel with your shop name printed on it was also found at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. The evidence is convincing and you want to deny it?"

"take away!"

"Wait!" Yu Fangzhi said coldly, "Open a shop to do business, and all the kerosene shipped out belongs to the buyer. If the buyer really wants to burn the mountain, what does it have to do with my business? If you don't catch the murderer, take the innocent What does it mean for a businessman to take the blame?"

The policeman quickly drew out his long knife and said fiercely: "Whether you are innocent or not, we will talk about it after the trial!" He pointed at Yu and shouted, "Take it away!"

With an order, officers and soldiers with knives surrounded everyone in the shop, and threw two sets of shackles in front of the shopkeeper and Yu Fangzhi.

"If you wear it by yourself, you can save yourself the pain of flesh and blood."

Amid the shopkeeper's weeping, Yu Fangzhi mocked, "You want to take me to jail too?"

"What do you want to do?"

The officers and soldiers drew out their long swords one after another. The light of the sword was dazzling, and the onlookers retreated one after another in shock. Yu Fangzhi remained motionless, "Evidence must be presented in handling the case. There is clearly no record of large barrels of kerosene in my shop's ledger. You said someone saw it. Who is it? Does he dare to confront him?"

"Don't charge me with trumped-up charges!"

"Presumptuous!" the policeman said patiently, "If you have something to say, go to the prison and take it away!"

"Wait!"
