Datang traitor

Li Yuanjing: "..."

Wen Yanbo: "..."

Li Yuanjing and Wen Yanbo looked at each other silently, they were really worrying too much just now, Qin Yuan's performance was really high.Usually, I don't see that he is such a gentle and seemingly noble scholar, he is very good at flattering.

Li Shimin burst out laughing at Qin Yuan's words, his brows stretched out, the corners of his eyes raised, his whole body and even every hair on his hair was brimming with joy.

Li Shimin believed Qin Yuan out of sincerity this time.After thinking about it, he has done so many brilliant and powerful things over the years, it is normal for people to admire him and be willing to pray for him every day.

"I am very pleased to have people like you!" Li Shimin smiled from ear to ear, making Qin Yuan get up quickly.His attitude became more and more cordial, and he asked Qin Yuan what books he had read before, what experience he had, what expertise he had, and so on.

Qin Yuan answered one by one, modestly expressing that he was actually not capable.

"The widow sees that you are very capable. At a young age, you left your hometown and lived in seclusion in the mountains alone. You are only a teenager. At this time, many people are eager for fame, fortune, wealth and enjoyment. Your heart. This kind of indifference, no one is as good as you." Li Shimin praised.

Qin Yuan hurriedly saluted, but dared not.

"The so-called 'Xiaoyinyin Lingshou, Dayinyin Chaoshi', you have been in the wild 'Xiaoyin' when you were young, and now it's time to come to the court and 'Dayin'." Li Shimin then decreed that Qin Yuan was appointed as the proofreader of Hongwenguan .

The Hongwenguan proofreading book is the ninth rank upper rank, the rank may not seem high, but it is a very popular position.Having a high reputation and being respected by others is more beneficial in the long run and will create many opportunities for officials to be promoted in the future.Because the Hongwen Library is not only in charge of school management classics, publishing correct and wrong matters, but also a school for noble children.There are not many students, about dozens of them, and those who can enter here as students are nobles among the real nobles.

"The students in the Hongwen Museum include: the relatives of the royal family above the hemp, the empress dowager, the empress's relatives above the meritorious service, the prime minister and the first rank of the scattered officials, the meritorious officials, the third rank of the Beijing officials, and the son of the Zhongshu Huangmen servant." 1

After coming out of Liangyi Hall, Wen Yanbo was afraid that Qin Yuan would not understand the benefits of this official position, so he deliberately explained to him how powerful the students in Hongwen Hall are.Going to be an official at the Hongwen Museum is equivalent to getting a good opportunity to make friends with future dignitaries and ministers.No matter how many officials cried and begged, they couldn't come, but it turned out that Qin Yuan came easily.

Qin Yuan nodded quietly, thanking Wen Yanbo for his explanation, and then he continued walking with his head down.

Li Yuanjing was happy for Qin Yuan, seeing that he was not in a good mood at the moment, Li Yuanjing thought that Qin Yuan relied on his talent and looked down on such a low-ranking official, so he went to explain to Qin Yuan.

"You have just entered the court, and you need experience in many places. To tell you the truth, even if someone as talented as Guiguzi comes, it is unlikely that he will be appointed as a third- and fourth-rank real job immediately, unless he makes great contributions. Official Only by starting from the bottom step by step can we convince the public. As long as you are capable and have nothing to be afraid of, you will naturally be promoted in a short time."

Qin Yuan: "Don't dare to dislike it. To be rewarded by a sage is a blessing I have cultivated in eight lifetimes. I am worried about other things."

"Eldest grandson Wuji?" Wen Yanbo asked.

Qin Yuan nodded.

"He is the most powerful official in our court who cannot be offended! I told you earlier that you should say hello to him before taking someone, but you just wouldn't listen." Wen Yanbo patted Qin Yuan's shoulder helplessly, "Now people offend you. No, there is no other magic method, I can only bear it hard, maybe he will forget about it after a period of time, and he will not care about it with you."

"Then what if he doesn't forget?" Qin Yuan felt that Changsun Wuji was so cautious that he condescended to go to his house in person, and it seemed impossible to expect him to almost forget about it.

"Then you will be miserable!" Li Yuanjing looked at Qin Yuan sympathetically, "I advise you to be drunk today when you have wine, and cherish the days you are alive."

Qin Yuan: "..."

Seeing that Qin Yuan was frightened, Li Yuanjing and Wen Yanbo laughed.Tell him to just do things decently, just don't make mistakes and be caught by Changsun Wuji, and it stands to reason that there should be no trouble.

It seems that this is the only way to go.

Although the case of Yang Liuniang's assassination is almost closed, there are still some follow-ups that need to be dealt with.Wen Yanbo planned to take someone to investigate the residence of the madam in Yong'anfang. After hearing about it, Qin Yuan took the initiative to follow him. Anyway, he had to go home anyway.

The madam's residence in Yong'anfang is a house with three rooms. The courtyard is simply furnished, no different from ordinary people's homes.In the bedroom of the main house, there are many things for women, and the clothes in the closet are also women's. It seems to be the bedroom of the madam.The other two wing rooms are the rooms where the four nurses live. The four big men live a simple life. Except for necessities such as clothes and bedding, there is nothing special in the room.

There is also a utility room. In addition to some old furniture and firewood, there is a large vat. The vat is empty, and the inside is very fragrant. There are black water stains on the inner wall of the vat.Yacha found a sealed clay pot in the corner of the utility room, opened it and found that it was mercury.

Wen Yanbo looked at Qin Yuan in horror, "The scent of this vat seems to be the same as that of the dead peony."

"Like." Qin Yuan sighed.

"This thing is too weird."

Wen Yanbo imagined the scene at that time: the corpse was soaked in the tank of the utility room, and mercury was poured on the corpse...

Wen Yanbo shuddered with fright, so he went out to breathe first.

Qin Yuan stayed in the house for a long time before coming out.

"Why so long?" Wen Yanbo asked.

"Looked around blindly."

Qin Yuan went back to the room where the madam lived, and after looking around, he asked Wen Yanbo to allow him to go to Ruyifang again.Qin Yuan searched the bedroom and warehouse of the madam in Ruyifang, and found that all the furnishings were similar to those of ordinary people, so Qin Yuan came out.

"What's wrong?" Wen Yanbo couldn't help asking again.

"It's nothing, it's getting late, so I won't bother Wen Zhizhong anymore."

After Qin Yuan and Wen Yanbo said goodbye, they hurried home.

The five guards sent by Changsun Wuji to monitor him followed Qin Yuan all the way.

In the afternoon, someone from the government office came to tailor Qin Yuan's official robes.

When Qin Yuan ate his fill of sweet dates at night, he found that there were fifty catties of sweet dates left in the farm.

This was fresh. No matter what fruit the farm produced before, it just happened to be enough to fill his stomach.If he wanted to sell the harvest of the farm, he had to suffer from hunger for a while.Now he is so full that he has leftovers.

The next day, Qin Yuan harvested the melons, this time the melons were white, twice as sweet as the green melons last time, larger in size, and full of sweetness.Now is the season for melons to come down, so Qin Yuan decided to keep the jujubes left over from last night and continue to eat, and took out fifty catties of melons to sell in the West Market.

When Qin Yuan swallowed the dates, he immediately felt discomfort in his abdomen, which made him retch.But to eat the freshly harvested melons, Qin Yuan would not have such a reaction.It seems that the fruits harvested on the farm can only be eaten fresh that day.

In the evening, after Qin Yuan ate his fill in the room, he found that there were still [-] catties of melons left today.Qin Yuan understood that the current farm should have fifty catties of harvest left over every day.

Early the next morning, Qin Yuan set up a stall in the old place of the West Market, but this time Qin Yuan was not low-key at all. He was surrounded by five tall and fierce guards.As soon as his small stall was set up, it attracted attention because of its "magnificence".It happened to be windy today, and the wind brought the aroma of melons to dozens of meters away. There were many people who came to visit the West Market early, and many people followed the smell to find them, and Qin Yuan soon formed a circle to inquire about melons. price.

Some people squatted down and reached for the melon to see if there was any flaw in the size and color, and they found that it was the best melon they had ever seen in their lives.

"Ten cents a catty, no bargaining."

"It's so expensive!" The onlookers sighed with emotion.

Someone recognized Qin Yuan, and said with a smile: "It's pretty cheap. A few days ago, I saw him selling melons at a price of [-] Wen a catty. The quality of the melons that time was far worse than this one."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a burst of surprise

……

"The melon looks good, but who knows if it tastes good."

"Buy it with sincerity, I can give you a taste, everyone is sweet." Qin Yuan took a melon casually, wanted to cut it up and share it with everyone, but found that he didn't have a knife on him.

The five guards all saw Qin Yuan's needs. They were well-trained and responded very quickly. They drew out their daggers and handed them to Qin Yuan almost at the same time.

The five daggers flashed out in unison, immediately startling the customers in front of the melon stall.

Qin Yuan was also frightened by the sudden five knives and his heart beat faster.He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked the five guards for offering knives, then took one of them, cut the melon into several portions, and distributed them.

It stands to reason that with such delicious melons being distributed for free, everyone's normal reaction would be to push forward one after another.But because the melon seller had five guards around him, no one dared to do anything wrong, and those who had no money to buy melons didn't even dare to try it.Everyone who tasted it said they wanted to buy it, and each person bought a few catties. Qin Yuan quickly sold [-] catties, and the remaining [-] catties were all covered by a wealthy family.

After Qin Yuan returned home, in order to thank the five guards for their help in maintaining order, he gave each of them two melons.The guards were unambiguous this time. After thanking them indifferently, they ate quite enthusiastically and wiped out two large melons in a few bites.They were still very happy after eating, and there was a smile on their usual wooden faces.

The relationship between the guards and Qin Yuan went further.As guards, although they were unwilling to ask more questions, Qin Yuan could always get fresh fruits, which made them very curious.One of the guards asked Qin Yuan, if he had stored the pears back then, where did he get the fifty catties of melons now.

After Qin Yuan heard this question, his eating speed slowed down.His mind was spinning quickly, and after swallowing the melon in his mouth, he looked at the guards with innocent eyes: "It was delivered when we were not at home yesterday, and it was directly put in the big tank in the kitchen. He has the key to my house."

The five guards followed Qin Yuan outside and didn't know the situation at home, so they had no choice but to trust Qin Yuan.

"Who is this person?" the guard asked again.

"A friend of mine is very good at farming, but he doesn't like to see outsiders, so don't ask more questions. Also, please help me not to talk about such trivial things as melons and pears. If someone covets my things The way I came here surprised my friend, and I won’t have anything good to eat in the future.” Qin Yuan smiled at them amiably.

The five guards were all honest in heart, since Qin Yuan treated them kindly, of course they would reciprocate the same, and they all obediently nodded in agreement.

Considering that he followed him every day for the past two days, Qin Yuan was afraid of being suspected again by them, so he temporarily stored the melons in the farm until the guards left.

Four nights later, Qin Yuan revived Gu Qingqing in his room.After hearing the sound and entering the room, the five guards were stunned when they saw the living Gu Qingqing, and hurried back to report to Zhangsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji had just finished his official duties, remembering that the time limit he had agreed with Qin Yuan had come, he was thinking about how to punish Qin Yuan tomorrow, should he be cramped or skinned?He will torture this little boy who has just been appointed as the school secretary of Hongwenguan to become the worst prisoner in the country!
