Datang traitor

Qin Yuan nodded. He was about to ask Zhou Xiaolu again when the sound of horseshoes came from outside the door.

Zhou Xiaolu hurriedly got up and jumped out from the back window. She hurriedly turned her head and told Qin Yuan: "You will be in danger, pay attention to safety."

Zhou Xiaolu then climbed over the wall and returned to Gu Qingqing's house.

Qin Yuan frowned and pondered what Xiaolu said next week, then carefully opened the door to see who it was, and then he heard Changsun Wuji calling his name in a familiar voice.

Qin Yuan opened the door helplessly, "Elder Grandfather came here late at night, what's your business?"

"You are so heartless, tearing down the bridge when you cross the river? You forgot your current status, who recommended you?" Changsun Wuji pushed Qin Yuan away and went directly into the house.

After Changsun Wuji looked around the environment in the room, he frowned and sat on the stool in disgust.When I sat down, the stool made a dry creaking sound.

"You were a seventh-rank official before anyway, why the situation in the house hasn't improved at all. It's just small, and you don't even change some decent furniture." Changsun Wuji asked Qin Yuan what to do without spending so much money, " Do you spend it after you die?"

"Bah! I won't die, I will live forever." Qin Yuan said.

Changsun Wuji laughed loudly, "I didn't expect you to be in your 20s. If you still believe in such unrealistic things, you will die."

Changsun Wuji actually dared to laugh at him, so Qin Yuan deliberately made things difficult for Changsun Wuji: "Don't think that I don't know the purpose of your nominating me to be the young minister of Dali Temple in the court today, you are not sincere, you just want to see me laughing , I didn’t expect it to be self-defeating. If you want me to thank you now, I’m afraid it won’t work, no, love, love!”

"It turns out that you were just pretending to thank me in front of Wei Zheng and others." Changsun Wuji pointed at Qin Yuan and called him a treacherous villain who crossed rivers and demolished bridges.

Qin Yuan smiled and didn't refute anymore, he just asked Changsun Wuji why he came here to find him.

"I heard that you came out of the palace very late. What did you talk to the saint? After that happened, he should be in a bad mood. How did you make him happy?"

Qin Yuan roughly told Changsun Wuji how he went to Li Yuan's place.

"You actually rely on the emperor to win the happiness of the sages."

Changsun Wuji patted the table, feeling that Qin Yuan is really a traitor.

Jokes are jokes, but we still have to talk about serious things.Changsun Wuji lamented that Qin Yuan was indeed inexperienced in officialdom and could easily suffer.He intends to briefly introduce the situation of Dali Temple to Qin Yuan, so as to save Qin Yuan from embarrassing him as the recommender when he enters Dali Temple tomorrow.

"The position of Minister of Dali Temple is still vacant, and now there are two young ministers of Dali Temple who are in charge of everything.

One of them was Dai Zhou, who was an official in the Sui Dynasty, and later entered the Qin Palace after returning to the Tang Dynasty. After the sage ascended the throne, he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.This talent is brilliant, stubborn by nature, proficient in copywriting, and familiar with the law. He has offended the saint several times and directly admonished the saint. It can be said that he is very tempered.Let's put it this way, his temper is stronger than Duke Wei's.Maybe sometimes there are not as many things as Wei Gong, but when it comes to really looking for trouble, nine cows can't be pulled back, no one can stop it, one is worth three Wei Gongs. "

Qin Yuan nodded in surprise, Wei Zheng hasn't dealt with it yet, and now there is another triple Wei Zheng, the pressure is huge.

"Another young minister of Dali Temple is called Sun Fujia. He was a law officer in Wannian County in the Sui Dynasty. He was in charge of adjudicating criminals and prisons and supervising the arrest of traitors. Shaoqing. Speaking of his knowledge, he is amazing, he was the No.1 champion in the first imperial examination in my dynasty."

Qin Yuan continued to nod in surprise. This man also sounds very powerful. He was the first number one scholar in the Tang Dynasty. He also helped Li Shimin ascend the throne and has a title.Moreover, before he won the number one scholar, he was an official in the field of punishment and prison, with rich experience.

Compared with the two young ministers of Dali Temple, Qin Yuan felt that his ability, experience and background were very weak.No wonder Wei Zheng tried to refute these things before.Now he couldn't help but wanted to second Wei Zheng.

Changsun Wuji saw Qin Yuan's lack of self-confidence, and scolded him for being worthless, "Where did your fearlessness go when you were in Liangyi Hall before. You have never been timid in front of saints, but now you are afraid. "

"The ignorant are fearless!" Qin Yuan half-jokingly said.

Changsun Wuji made Qin Yuan mentally prepared, "You just need to show your ability in Yongzhou Mansion before, and it won't make people look down upon you."

"It's different. I was in Yongzhou Mansion before, and Wen Zhizhong took care of me, and that was a good superior. It's different when I go to Dali Temple. I'm alone." Qin Yuan was filled with emotion, and suddenly missed Wen Yanbo a little bit.

Changsun Wuji chuckled lightly and didn't speak any more.Before leaving, he patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder and told him that if he was really desperate, he could go to Changsun's Mansion and kneel and beg him. By the way, he would paint all the gates of his house, and he might consider helping Qin Yuan.

"Enough." Qin Yuan cupped his hands and asked Changsun Wuji to leave quickly.

Changsun Wuji laughed loudly and got into the carriage, and then left accompanied by six guards in a 'low key'.

Qin Yuan closed the door and turned to look next door. The lights of Gu Qingqing's house had been turned off, and there was no light.Qin Yuan wanted to talk to Zhou Xiaolu again, to clarify what he hadn't finished speaking.But he can't rush to the residence of the two girls, he can only wait until tomorrow.

The next day, Qin Yuan checked the harvest of the farm after getting up, and was greatly relieved.

Today's harvest is neither melons nor peppers, but rather sour but slightly sweet cherries.

It was Qin Yuan's first harvest of cherries, and they were fresh, sweet and sour, which was not bad.

Qin Yuan felt full after eating the cherries for a while, and his appetite was several times less than before.He suddenly remembered that he had been promoted to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple on the fourth rank yesterday, from the seventh rank to the fourth rank, and in the middle spanned from the sixth rank, the fifth rank, the fourth rank and the fourth rank. Nine levels.

An official rank is equal to 450 catties, that is 750 catties, plus the previous [-] catties, then his daily farm surplus should be [-] catties.

Qin Yuan was very happy, and went out to look next door while eating cherries.Seeing Gu Qingqing just coming out to scoop water, Qin Yuan called her over through the wall and asked if Zhou Xiaolu was there.

"She, I don't know. I haven't seen her since this morning. I figured she was having nightmares and insomnia again, so I hurried to work in the shop early." Gu Qingqing saw Qin Yuan holding cherries in his hands, and took the initiative to grab them and eat them. The first one was really sour, but the second one was much better.Slowly tasting the sour and sweet taste is very good, but there is a very subtle feeling in my heart when I eat it.Gu Qingqing blushed for some reason.

"I have to go!"

"So early? It's just dawn." Gu Qingqing was puzzled.

"There's something else to do."

Qin Yuan wanted to go to Dali Temple early to get acquainted with the surroundings while everyone was away.But before that, he had to talk to Zhou Xiaolu.

Qin Yuan quickly washed and changed his official uniform, then drove the carriage straight to the dim sum shop.

Zhou Xiaolu was indeed busy in the shop.

Qin Yuan put the basket of cherries he brought on the table.

Zhou Xiaolu didn't show any surprise when she saw Qin Yuan. She put down the things she was busy with, went to wash a plate of cherries, and then sat opposite Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan poured her a glass of water and told her to take a rest and taste the cherries first.

Zhou Xiaolu liked the ruby-colored cherries when she saw them.Her face softened a lot, she reached out and took one into her mouth, honestly said it was delicious.Qin Yuan pushed all the plates to her side, Zhou Xiaolu was not polite, and thanked Qin Yuan in a flat tone while eating.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you?"

Zhou Xiaolu's mouth didn't stop eating cherries, she spit out the pip and continued to put another one into her mouth.

"Not afraid."

The two words were spoken very crisply, revealing her trust in Qin Yuan without a doubt.

Qin Yuan smiled, thinking that since Zhou Xiaolu was not wary of him, he took the initiative to mention the Alien League to him last night, so there must be no malice.

Qin Yuan put down his guard and asked Zhou Xiaolu to tell her what she knew. If there was something he needed to keep secret, he would definitely keep it secret.

"Wang Zhengde is the rudder master of the Chang'an sub-helm of the Alien League." Zhou Xiaolu said surprisingly.

Qin Yuan hurriedly signaled Zhou Xiaolu to continue.

"Don't look at his young age, he is very smart and quick-witted, and has great ability to handle affairs. Moreover, he can recruit the souls of dead people, which is amazing. He can know many secrets of dead people. No one can compare to him. Brother Qin caught him before Xu An and Gu Changhuang are both members of the Alien League, and Bai Ran is actually considered, but he is a newcomer and is still undergoing trials, so he did not expect to be used by Wang Zhengde."

After Zhou Xiaolu explained, she took another cherry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"That is to say, the Alien League participated in the rebellion." Qin Yuan snorted coldly.

"No!" Zhou Xiaolu immediately corrected Qin Yuan's statement.

"The Alien League didn't mean to participate in the rebellion, but a few aliens in Chang'an were bewitched by Wang Zhengde.

It was agreed within the Alien League that they are not allowed to intervene in any government affairs.The purpose of this organization itself is to give those who have supernatural powers a home to belong to, so that everyone who is unique in their own way no longer feels that they are aliens and can help each other.

But if someone casually leaks the existence of the Inhuman League to the outside world, he will be regarded as a traitor and will be silenced.This is the way the Yirenmeng protects itself. It has been passed down like this for thousands of years, and it has never made a mistake until Wang Zhengde broke this rule. "

Qin Yuan put his chin in his hands and listened, then frowned and asked Zhou Xiaolu: "How do you know so much? Are you from the Alien League?"

Zhou Xiaolu glanced at Qin Yuan and nodded.

Qin Yuan was astonished, and took a serious look at Zhou Xiaolu.She has a small nose, small eyes and a small mouth. Her skin is much whiter than when I first saw her. She is not the kind of stunning beauty, but her facial features are delicate and a bit aura. The key is that she has a very special personality.

Qin Yuan was a little curious about Zhou Xiaolu's abilities that were different from ordinary people.

"I think your speech and behavior are much calmer than ordinary people." Qin Yuan asked Zhou Xiaolu's actual age, "Could it be the kind of childish but old?"

"I'm only 14 years old, my real name is Zhou Xiaolu, and my background is as I said before, without any disguise."

"Yes, I sent someone to your hometown to check your identity before, and there is no problem." Qin Yuan was puzzled, "But you are only 14 years old, how could you—"

Zhou Xiaolu: "My ability is that I am always shocked and never forget."

Qin Yuan was surprised, but he had heard of him with a photographic memory, and he even had the ability of 'unchanging surprises'.

"There are two types of people in the Alien League: one is the ability to learn hard, such as Gu Changhuang and Bairan, and the other is the ability that is born, such as Xu An, and me. Occasionally, the two There are all kinds, such as Wang Zhengde. My kind is actually not very useful, but it is most suitable for monitoring people." When Zhou Xiaolu spoke, his eyes kept staring at Qin Yuan without any waves.

Qin Yuan felt that Zhou Xiaolu had memorized every detail of himself, and coughed unnaturally, "Then maybe you know me better than I do."

Zhou Xiaolu didn't think Qin Yuan's words were funny, so she lowered her head and ate the cherries silently.

From the point of view of not being able to resist eating cherries, Zhou Xiaolu looks like a 14-year-old girl.

Qin Yuan: "Why did you warn me to be careful last night? People from the Alien League sent you to watch me?"

"The Alien League noticed something abnormal in Chang'an City, and sent me to investigate the situation. I found that there is a problem with Wang Zhengde, the rudder master here, and Brother Qin also has a problem," Zhou Xiaolu said in a calm tone after spitting out the cherry pit in his mouth. "Brother Qin can resurrect the dead."

Qin Yuan didn't change his expression, just looked back at Zhou Xiaolu.

"Brother Qin can deny it, but I won't believe it. I believe in my own ability." Zhou Xiaolu continued, "I also found that you don't like to eat ordinary food. The food that Brother Qin eats seems to be conjured out of thin air. , such as this cherry."

After Zhou Xiaolu finished speaking, she held up a cherry and looked at the bright red and flawless cherry in her hand.

"Each one has no flaws, it doesn't seem like something that can be grown in the world."

Zhou Xiaolu has already seen most of his secrets.Moreover, this girl is unchanging in shock and has a photographic memory, so it is impossible for Qin Yuan to deceive her.

"Purpose." Qin Yuan asked directly.

"Brother Qin, don't worry, I'm not your enemy." Zhou Xiaolu said, "I know that Brother Qin is a good person, so I will tell Brother Qin about this, to remind Brother Qin of danger."

Qin Yuan didn't quite understand Zhou Xiaolu's intentions, so he asked her what she meant.

"Brother Qin has dealt with so many strangers in Chang'an City, and saved several people. He can hide it from ordinary people, but he can't hide it from the Alien Alliance. Sooner or later, he will find out that Brother Qin is special, and come to find Brother Qin. It's best not to have any treasures, otherwise they will definitely eat up Brother Qin to the bone." When Zhou Xiaolu said this, his eyes widened on purpose, which made people feel very horrified.

Qin Yuan: "Didn't you just say that your Yiren League does not participate in the affairs of the Yamen, and you all help each other in a friendly manner?"

"I really don't participate in the affairs of the yamen, except for Wang Zhengde and other scum. Everyone does help each other, but they are not so friendly to people outside the Yiren League. Especially when they know that there is a person in Chang'an who is very 'golden' , It can actually bring the dead back to life. They will definitely come to the door and have a good 'competition' with Brother Qin."

Zhou Xiaolu's words are logical and reasonable.Of course Qin Yuan didn't doubt that it was fake.The current situation can basically be simply explained as that he is about to become Tang Monk meat that everyone in the Alien League wants to eat.

This can be fatal.

If these people know that his blood can bring the dead back to life, these aliens who are hardworking both innately and acquired will definitely be willing to drain his blood and save it as a 'supernatural power', maybe his flesh and bones , A single hair will not be wasted.

After being an immortal for so long, Qin Yuan had the fear of death for the first time.

"Why did you tell me this? Aren't you monitoring me for them?" Qin Yuan understood that Zhou Xiaolu must have her purpose in telling him this.

"Brother Qin is very good at investigating cases." Zhou Xiaolu said, "So I decided to take a gamble. I can betray the Alien League for Brother Qin, as long as Brother Qin can help find the murderer who killed my mother."

"I remember you said that your mother died of illness because of your father's gambling habits."

"This sentence is a lie. My mother didn't die of illness, she was murdered. Also, my father is indeed a gambler, but he is not so good as to sell me to a child. I ran away from home, in order not to Being sought out, people spread rumors on purpose.

In fact, our Zhou family is a big family in Shangluo County. My grandfather has eight sons in total, and they all live in a big house.My mother died in this big house, and someone wanted to kill me.Fortunately, I persuaded my confused father to advocate separation of the family, so I was able to escape from that house safely. "

After Zhou Xiaolu finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and begged Qin Yuan to help her find the murderer who killed her mother.

Qin Yuan remembered that he had asked the Yamen to go to Shangluo County to investigate. According to the records of household registration at that time, Zhou Xiaolu's mother died three years ago.Such a long-standing case, time has passed, and there is no evidence left.

"Brother Qin, don't forget, I have a photographic memory. I remember the scene of my mother's death very clearly. I still remember everything clearly. I even know where there is a hair on the ground." Xiao Zhou Lu shed tears as she spoke, and she cried calmly, which was extremely distressing.

Qin Yuan also knew that this matter must be very important to Zhou Xiaolu, terribly important.Otherwise, she wouldn't beg him at the risk of betraying the Alien League and being hunted down by the entire Alien League.

"Brother Qin helped me with this matter, so I will help Brother Qin hide all the secrets and do my best to protect Brother Qin's safety." Zhou Xiaolu proposed a deal with Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan asked Zhou Xiaolu to give him time to think about it.Turning his head to look at the sky outside, Qin Yuan sighed that he might be late this time, so he hurried to drive away.

Qin Yuan arrived at Dali Temple panting, just in time for the last moment.

The little official in charge of Dianmao couldn't help laughing when he saw the newly appointed Shaoqing running over in such a disfigured manner.

After Qin Yuan sketched it in his notebook, he entered the main hall of Dali Temple openly.

The other two young officials of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia, had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

Since the sage made the decree yesterday, the two of them have been curious about what kind of character this Qin Yuan, who jumped from the ninth rank to the fourth rank in just three months, is really.

Before that, they had heard many rumors.It is said that he has a handsome face, surpassing the immortal king, and he can be regarded as the most beautiful man in Chang'an City.Some people said that he went crazy, like a sick person.Others say that he is gentle, sweet-sounding, and easy to convince people.A more general version is that he was flattering, and could always please the Sacred Heart with simple things like melons, plums, and raisins.

No matter what, this person is more or less capable, otherwise he wouldn't have solved the case and made meritorious deeds and be banned.Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia still have a consensus on this point.However, such a rapid promotion based on a little credit for solving a case is a little unfair to officials like them who have worked hard for more than ten years.Especially for Sun Fujia, he not only has experience, but also is not inferior to anyone in knowledge, he is the number one scholar.

Now that the person is here, the two finally overlap the person they imagined in their hearts with the person in front of them.

This Qin Yuan's appearance is good, just like the rumors, he is unparalleled handsome, like a fairy descending to earth.

Crazy is indeed a bit crazy, because the two of them heard the report from the little official just now, and Qin Yuan just ran into Dali Temple crazily.

As for Sven, there seems to be a little bit of that.Standing in front of them now, he greeted them kindly, he looked very gentle, and his voice was really nice.

"I made you two laugh. I ran into an acquaintance on the way here. She happened to ask me for something. I accidentally chatted for a long time. I almost came here late on the first day." Qin Yuan laughed. After explaining, he told Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia that he brought some greetings.

Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia hurriedly stated that they would not accept gifts.

"It's not a big gift, you two young ministers, don't worry about it." Qin Yuan said and ordered the little official to fetch it.

After a while, two plates of clean red cherries were served.

This cherry is as red as agate, watery and shiny, attractive to look at, making people want to eat it.

Dai Zhou and Sun Fujia couldn't help laughing when they saw the cherry.Sure enough, it was just like the legend, this Qin Yuan likes to bribe people with fruit and flatter him.
