Be a national teacher in Liaozhai Fanwen

The three of Ruan Tao rode their horses all the way to Zhuoling Pavilion. Recently, the bustle of Shangjun due to the falling star incident has not yet completely passed. Even though it is early winter, there are still many street tourists in this "bitter cold" place. Riding a horse also delayed a lot of effort.

I thought that when I entered the pavilion, I would have to argue with Mao Yi and the others. On the way, the three of them thought about how Wang Mang could help if Mao Yi refused to let him check the files on "Pheasant Essence" and used his identity as the chief to suppress others. Ruan Tao fought back.

Unexpectedly, no one was seen in the pavilion, only Ye Yu, whose family background was not very good, was drying cinnabar in the courtyard.

"Yes! In the entire Great Qin, it is estimated that there is no fixed time for the office to be on duty and release the office. His Majesty will live leisurely when it is closed." Wang Mang leaned on the gate with his hands folded, sarcastically.

While washing the cinnabar on his hands in the water bowl, Ye Yu asked, "It's not that no one is on duty today, and everything came early in the morning. It's just that after the boss came, he took people out in a hurry, leaving behind I'll be here watching."

"Going out? What are you doing?" Ruan Tao asked.

"I don't know, it seems to be for something in the palace." Ye Yu replied.

"In the palace?" Ruan Tao's brows furrowed, he knew that the people from the palace were still living in the Zhao Mansion and had no intention of returning to the capital yet, but Zhao Gao had arranged for a few eunuchs to go back to Beijing to report on their duties a few days ago.

But, what could the people in the palace call the whole Zhuo Ling Pavilion to go to?

Ruan Tao was concerned about Fusu. Recently, that person didn't sleep well at night. He heard that the Huns in the west were about to move, and they were afraid that there was going to be a war. This group of people should not be a hindrance to him at this time.

Ruan Tao clenched his fist silently, then let it go suddenly. All he could do was to find out who was behind the scenes.

He felt that as long as this person was found out, any dead "lunatic", a monk from the Western Regions, and a national teacher who had traveled through time could all be linked together.

Now that you have caught a thread end, you must not let go. If you stroke down the end of the thread, you will naturally understand whether the end is a human or a ghost.

"By the way, why did you come back suddenly? But why?" Ye Yu asked Ruan Tao.

Although Ruan Tao has now been promoted to deputy director, anyone with a discerning eye knows in his heart that Mao Yi should be on top of him, and Ruan Tao will always be an "outsider" of Zhuoling Pavilion.

Ruan Tao himself knew it well, so even if he was promoted and worked in the pavilion, he would just hang out in the pavilion every day when he was on duty.

Hearing this, Ruan Tao replied: "It's a long story, but since the director is not here, I will go to the File Pavilion to see if I can find some files about wild pheasants."

"Wild pheasant?" Ye Yu asked in surprise while ironing the yellow paper, "But there are demons outside?"

Ruan Tao nodded, "Today I rescued Mr. Wang's young gentleman in the water. That young gentleman must have been tricked into the water by a green phoenix suddenly appearing in the water."

"I thought that even the phoenix couldn't fly to the bitterly cold place in Shangjun, so I thought that there are a lot of green-feathered pheasants in the forests of Shangjun. I'm afraid the pheasant has become a climate." Ruan Tao said.

"It's just that this pheasant can't swim in the water..." Ye Yu stopped ironing the yellow paper while talking.

Afterwards, he let out an "ah" as if he had thought of something, and then lowered his voice and said to Ruan Tao, "Isn't there a pheasant imprisoned in the alchemy room of the director?"

Hearing this, Ruan Tao's pupils suddenly shrank.

***

In the Zhao Mansion, Fusu sat in the study with loose hair and watched the military affairs delivered today, while a young servant and eunuch beside him was combing his hair.

Her black hair was like satin, quietly hanging down to her waist, and a black brocade robe was loosely covering her body, making her look more and more jade-like.

"I heard from Tao Zhu that the young master has not slept very well recently," said the little eunuch.

"It's okay." He nodded, his voice was gentle, and he couldn't hear too much emotion.

The little eunuch sighed: "Just thinking about the bitter cold in Shangjun, how can I do it with only Tao Zhu and others? That's why I begged Eunuch Guo to bring me here this time. As expected, you have lost weight just looking at you, Young Master."

Fusu: "Shangjun is really not as comfortable as Beijing."

"So, why did the young master get angry with His Majesty at the beginning? Your Majesty always loves you the most. As long as you give in to him, His Majesty will naturally calm down." The little eunuch said with concern.

"You don't understand the affairs of the court." Fusu looked at the file in his hand without raising his head.

A sweet-scented osmanthus tree was planted outside the carved window lattice this autumn. Due to the warm atmosphere in Zhao's residence, the flowers bloom for a long time, but at this time the last few small golden osmanthus flowers have all fallen.

A few lonely flowers fell on the ground, adding a bit of the bleakness of early winter.

The little eunuch paused his hand with the grate, and then said: "In Beijing, I heard that the young master met a Mr. Ruan. He was originally a child of the Ruan family. It was rumored that he was as beautiful as pearls and jade, and he was very capable. They all said that he was Guanyin. Reincarnation?"

When Ruan Tao was mentioned, Fusu's smile deepened, and he said, "He has never been in good shape. The so-called reincarnation of Guanyin is just a myth."

"False rumors can be spread all over the world. I think there must be someone who will contribute to the flames." The little eunuch's eyes darkened: "Young master has always been sober and self-restraining, so don't let people deceive you."

At this moment, a person walked into the room from the outside with a loud smile: "I can't be deceived. Didn't you see that there is a statue of Guanyin hanging on the bedside of your son? How can you be deceived when you are in front of the real Buddha every day?"

The two people in the room turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Kong Ming wearing a jade-white crane cloak, gently shaking his feather fan and leaning quietly in front of the screen with beautiful landscapes, he looked at Fusu with a teasing smile on his lips.

"Didn't you go to the army with Taibai? Why are you back?" Fusu put down the file in his hand, casually took a hair tie and handed it to the little eunuch behind him. bundled up.

"It's nothing serious, so I'll be back." Kong Ming said, and sat down in front of the young couple next to Fusu.

After a while, Tao Zhu brought tea in, and when he went out, he glanced at the little eunuch next to Fusu, wanted to say something, but in the end he went out on his own without saying anything.

Kong Ming held the tea, took a sip, and then said: "This is brought from Beijing."

"My lord Kong Ming has a good tongue, this is a new tribute tea," said the little eunuch.

"When I came back, I saw a commotion in the front yard. I found out that it was people from Zhuoling Pavilion?" Kong Ming asked.

"Yes." Fusu held the teacup and said, "The few people from the palace reckoned that they are still not used to it, they said it was a nightmare last night, so they invited people from Zhuoling Pavilion to take a look."

"So... is Mr. Ruan here?" the little eunuch asked.

Fusu sipped his tea lightly, but didn't answer.

Kong Ming glanced at him, then smiled lightly and said, "Hey! Little Taozi, I remember that your hometown is also from Sichuan?"

Xiao Taozi nodded: "Yes."

Fu Su was slightly surprised and said: "I forgot that your hometown is also in Chengdu. Maybe you met each other when you were young? Ji Zhen's father is quite famous in Chengdu."

"Young master, you are joking. A slave is only born in a poor family. How can he have anything to do with a family like the Ruan family?" Xiao Taozi replied obediently.

"Speaking of which, is Ji Zhen resting here today, or going back to Zigong's courtyard?" Kong Ming asked.

Fu Su chuckled: "How can I manage his affairs? He is probably still busy with Wang Zi'an's affairs now!"

"Does that Mr. Ruan often come to live in the house?" Xiao Taozi asked in surprise.

Kong Ming coughed lightly and didn't answer, Fu Su just laughed.

After a while, Kong Ming changed the subject and said, "Recently the Xiongnu's movements are a bit too frequent, and I don't know if they can be dealt with a year ago."

"They won't be as stable as before." Fusu said solemnly, "Not only the Xiongnu, but all countries in the Western Regions are watching eagerly."

Speaking of the Western Regions, Kong Ming said, "About that monk, Li Taibai found out a new movement."

"what?"

Kong Ming glanced at Xiao Taozi behind Fusu, Fusu stretched out his hand and waved, Xiao Taozi backed out very perceptively.

With the breeze blowing slightly, Fu Su's hair bundled back was fluttering gently. He put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "What did you find?"

Kong Ming replied: "Lieutenant Long Jin went to investigate this matter, and searched around the surrounding area, and finally found the news from a Sasanian spy."

"How to say?"

"Li Taibai has already sent the news back to Beijing, and there should be a dossier for you in the evening." Kong Ming said, "The spy is in the tea business in Sasan, and the monk has been to his foot shop. When the monk took out the money, the collar of his coat was exposed, and he noticed that it was a tribute satin from the Qin Palace."

Fu Su frowned: "In the palace."

It is said that after the little eunuch left the room, he wandered in the garden alone. He stopped in front of a crabapple tree, grabbed the leaves of the crabapple, and did not know what he was thinking.

At this time, a young eunuch in a green robe walked up to him and smiled obsequiously: "Eunuch Tao Yun."

Tao Yun was taken aback, and then said slightly displeased: "What's the matter?"

The young eunuch in green robe said with a smile: "Eunuch Zhao said that he hasn't seen you for a long time, and would like to treat you to a cup of tea."

**

The inner wall of the alchemy room was dark and damp, and there was a faint smell of sulfur and mold in the air.

"Tsk tsk tsk! There are many big families in the metropolitan area. There are many places where filth is hidden. I never thought that Qingshui yamen like Zhuo Lingge would also exist." Du Zimei sighed softly.

"Qingshui Yamen? Let me tell you, the instruments of torture in Zhuoling Pavilion in Beijing are no worse than those in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Otherwise, you really think His Majesty is keeping them for fun?" Wang Mang complained.

It was pitch black in front of my eyes, and I could faintly hear the slight breathing and the sound of water dripping.

"Clap!"

Ruan Tao snapped his fingers, and a dark green fox flame ignited.

The moment the faint green light ignited, a huge gossip wall came into view. The black and white yin and yang fish flickered under the light of the fox flame, and seemed to be jumping convulsively.

There are all kinds of instruments of magic hanging on the wall, rather than saying instruments, it is better to say that they are rows of instruments of torture wrapped in yellow talismans.

The pungent smell of cinnabar and sulfur lingered at the tip of his nose, and Ruan Tao caught a glimpse of a pill furnace on the right.

He stepped forward and touched the furnace wall of the alchemy furnace, it was still warm.

Ruan Tao was somewhat different: "Is this guy really practicing alchemy?"

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows: "Of course, haven't you seen the pit behind the yamen? Those who don't make alchemy are thrown into it."

"Your Majesty will inspect the pills sent from various places every year during the Lantern Festival." Du Zimei explained.

Ruan Tao's eyes widened: "Then I have to build a stove too."

Wang Mang checked the surrounding situation, and said perfunctorily, "You are his daughter-in-law, so he definitely won't care!"

"Didn't you say there are pheasants? Where is it?" Wang Mang said.

"Yeah? I didn't even see a cage." Du Zimei said.

The three of them walked around the inner room with the help of the dark green fox flames, but saw nothing except a wall of magical artifacts, a pill furnace, and some bottles and jars filled with cinnabar, sulfur, and mercury.

Wang Mang stopped in front of the stove and patted the copper wall of the stove: "Speaking of which, Mao Yi should make alchemy in the inner room, why is the room still so damp?"

"Because it's dripping water." Du Zimei said.

"Ok?"

Du Zimei stretched out her hand, and with a slap, a drop of water fell between her fingers: "Look."

He twisted lightly: "But...why is this water so sticky?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them raised their heads together——

A huge face with a pointed mouth and dense green blisters came into view. A pair of blood-colored eyes were opening on that face, staring at them resentfully.
