Xiaolou listened to the wind and rain all night

The weather in the south of the Yangtze River is warm, and spring blossoms bloom on the branches in the morning.Every night, the lights of thousands of families make up the spring bridge, which is very lively. Ten miles of red candles reflect the river of flowers, and all kinds of fragrance are beautiful. It is a good time to enjoy the spring and enjoy the spring.

There was a murder case in Fengyue Pavilion, so the door had to be closed.So the flower boats on the Qinhuai River became lively.Even Mr. Chen Yuan, who has always been fearful of internal affairs, seems to be affected by the beauty of spring, and rarely comes out to seek pleasure.

It looked like a bustling flower boat, with people coming in and out with food and wine.There were a few guards outside the door.Of course, the people inside couldn't be neglected, because apart from Chen Yuan, there was another important person inside.

The man was in his 40s and looked potbellied.Hugging left and right, so uncomfortable.When the food and wine were ready, the man was only interested in teasing the dancing girl, talking and laughing, but didn't get down to business.

Chen Yuan was sitting beside him all the time, and those dancers were still bold enough to come and serve them.After all, these two are high-ranking officials, even if they are young, if they can be taken back to the mansion, they will no longer have to worry about the rest of their lives.So they pushed forward.

Chen Yuan was a little uncomfortable, serious.Those dancers knew how to do it, and they all went to serve another person.After drinking for three rounds, the man still didn't speak.

Chen Yuan raised a glass of wine and said, "I don't know what the prefect Xu has to say when he invites the officials over."

That person was Xu Huaili, the magistrate of Jiangning.

Xu Huaili grinned, his whole face looked fat.He also raised his glass to toast and went back: "This government just thinks Mr. Chen is busy with business and it's rare to come out to relax. You and I are both in Jinling, so I invite you out for a drink."

Chen Yuan's official rank is not as high as Xu Huaili's, but he is trusted by the emperor.Xu Huaili didn't dare to underestimate him, but fortunately, the bright and the dark have restrained each other these years, and nothing too big happened, and they lived in peace.

"Master Xu has a heart." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

Xu Huaili drank two more glasses of wine, his face turned red as he felt drunk.Chen Yuan is not in a hurry, he can handle it if he just drinks.It's just that the two of them drinking are really weird.

"I heard that Mr. Chen has worked hard for the case of Lizhi County in the past two days, and has spent a lot of energy." Xu Huaili asked the dancer next to her by the chin, seemingly casually.

"Fei Shen can't say it. It's a matter of being loyal to the emperor. The lower officials receive the imperial salary, so they must do their best." Chen Yuan replied lightly.I thought to myself, I finally got to the point.

Xu Huaili slightly raised his hand, waved the dancer away, and said: "I have an uninvited invitation, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Master Xu, please tell me."

"Li Renben is my most proud student, and he managed to show off his appearance. He was murdered like this. Mr. Chen, what do you think, how about handing over this case to the government?"

What Xu Huaili said was true and false.Li Ren was indeed his student, but that was not the reason why he wanted to intervene.Li Ren is dead, but he can't let Hua Chang get involved again.Although Huashang is young, he is the second prince's capable subordinate.

"Forgive me, I'm sorry!" Chen Yuan respectfully bowed to him and said, "There are already some clues about this matter, not to mention that the magistrate has a lot of affairs to deal with every day. This matter is the responsibility of the next official." How dare you bother Mr. Xu. Since Li Zhixian is your disciple, the next official will definitely try the case carefully and give Mr. Xu an explanation."

Xu Huaili's complexion changed again and again, and finally he said with a smile: "That's it, Mr. Chen has to work hard."

Things can't be discussed, and drinking can't taste good.Xu Huaili felt that he should ask the Second Prince for instructions on this matter.

The wine continued to be drunk, and the food continued to be eaten.If Xu Huaili didn't say anything, Chen Yuan naturally couldn't leave first.

To the top of the moon.

Xu Huaili supported his forehead and sighed: "I'm getting old, and I can't drink anymore. Mr. Chen, I may have to go back to my residence first."

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Prefect Xu is only in his forties, so he is already old."

Xu Huaili shook his body, stood up and waved his hands: "Compared to young people, he is old. Mr. Chen, be careful on the road, I will go back first."

"I will see you off." Chen Yuan followed suit and stood up.

"Master Chen, take a rest. It's still early, and the Qinhuai River is at its bustling time. Don't let me down with the wine and beauty." Xu Huaili walked out as he spoke, and the guards outside came to help him.

Having said that, there are still some courtesies that should be given.Chen Yuan had to see him off, so he sent Xu Huaili out and watched him get into the soft sedan chair.

The dancer girl didn't come in after she left, and there was no waiter left in the room.Nuo Da's flower boat was a little empty.Chen Yuan didn't rush back to the house, but turned around and went back to Huafang.

There is one more person in the flower boat, who is sitting at the table.

Chen Yuan bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness Fifth."

Xu Huaili never expected that the conversation between him and Chen Yuan just now had been known.Shen Yixuan is always there.

"Sit down." Shen Yixuan said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Chen Yuan sat down as he said.

Shen Yixuan said lightly: "I heard everything just now. He wants to intervene in this case, what do you think, Mr. Chen?"

You have to weigh your words carefully. His Highness Fifth Highness has his own thoughts in his heart. This matter is neither good nor bad, so Chen Yuan just bowed his head and replied: "Prefect Xu has many proud students."

Shen Yixuan smiled with satisfaction: "You can be regarded as having some brains. If Xu Huaili falls down, I can rest assured that the prefect of Jiangning will be handed over to you."

Xu Huaili has a lot of proud students, so Li Ren is no exception.But he was so attentive that he even opened his mouth to Chen Yuan.That means that this matter still has some weight.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!" Chen Yuan bowed his head and saluted: "The old minister will repay His Highness like a bull and a horse in the future!"

"Get up." Shen Yixuan frowned slightly, it's still too early to talk about it. "Go back and keep a close eye on the Seven Star Pavilion, the Prefect Xu's place, and secretly send someone to observe the movement. What is the result of the two-day interrogation?"

The person was killed by Shen Yixuan, and the real murderer must not be found in Fengyue Pavilion.Chen Yuan knew exactly what Fengyue Pavilion wanted to ask.

"A girl in Fengyue Pavilion has confessed. She confessed to the matter, saying that Li Ren wanted to force her, and she lost her life because of her mistake."

Shen Yixuan sneered: "Bitches know to be chaste these days. Where's the boss of their Fengyue Pavilion?"

"That Hua Chang is very honest, and he doesn't make any noise in the prison."

"You know what to do." Shen Yixuan stood up, "Nothing that should be interrogated can be missed, and you also know that the prison of the Criminal Ministry is not for entertaining guests."

"The old minister understands."

"It's good to understand, you are a smart person." Shen Yixuan smiled and said, "I'll go back first."

"Respectfully send off the Fifth Highness!" Chen Yuan lowered his head and said.

After leaving the flower boat, Shen Yixuan paced slowly.Jiangnan is still very lively, and Jinling is even more prosperous.Shen Yixuan walked very slowly, he looked at the noisy street and the lanterns all over the street.Suddenly, I remembered that night when the moon was out and the moon was extremely silent.

And the small street he walked through with Yan Yunyou on his back, just thinking about it makes my heart quiet.

When Shen Yixuan returned home, Qin Zhiyang was already waiting at the door of the study.

"Master, my subordinates have found out what you told me." Qin Zhiyang bent over and presented a not-so-thick dossier with both hands.

"Have you checked it out?" Shen Yixuan didn't accept the file.

"Return to the master, I found out. Young Master Yan came to Jinling six years ago, and it seems that he has something to do with His Highness Second Highness. It was His Highness Second Highness who saved Young Master Yan in the Phoenix Forest incident."

Shen Yixuan frowned fiercely, does it really matter?The second brother saved him?They have known each other for six years?

Shen Yixuan stretched out his hand to take the file, and said to Qin Zhiyang: "You did a good job, go down first."

"Subordinates retire."

His slender fingers flipped through the file, page after page.His complexion is not very good.Maybe it's time to advance the plan, Shen Yixuan thought lightly. #####Xu Huaili: "This government has an uninvited invitation, I don't know if it should be said or not."

Chen Yuan should not speak!Roll, roll, roll! ! !
