How many buildings are in the mist

Feng Zihuan took great care of these poor scholars.In addition to rewarding a slightly better residence than ordinary people and charging only a very low symbolic rent, cloth and silk are also rewarded, and additional subsidies are given when the salary is distributed.Such care made some children of the neutral family in Jiankang City laugh and say, it turns out that several patriarchs fined their salaries for half a year, and the money and food went here.Cui Xuanji heard this one day, and went back to tell Feng Zihuan, Feng Zihuan smiled and said: "That's right, I still think that the big officials of these aristocratic families already have a lot of land and money in their families. It is too much to eat the imperial salary, I should return the money to the imperial court, and insist on doing white work for the imperial court!"

Cui Xuanji felt slightly wrong when he heard this, but Feng Zihuan seemed to be just joking, if he was serious first, it might have the opposite effect, so he had to follow Feng Zihuan's joking tone, and untied Feng Zihuan from his waist. Kneeling in front of Feng Zihuan for the jade pendant, holding the jade pendant with both palms upwards, "Then I will hand it in first."

Seeing this, Feng Zihuan laughed out loud, and scolded in a non-serious manner: "Nonsense! It's something I gave you as a reward. It's not a salary, so what's there to hand over! Don't tell me you're going to sell it! Come on!" stand up!"

Cui Xuan got up silently, but Feng Zihuan still refused to let go: "If you do this again, I will tell Xiang Cui to let her go back and punish you." After thinking about it, what is the punishment? "Family law!"

In the end, Cui Xuanji smiled instead.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing—" Logically, she should have said something like "I'm guilty, I can't say it", but now it seems that with the passage of time and getting along with each other for a long time, the extra politeness between these monarchs and ministers has long been lost, "There is nothing wrong with my family. The family law of punishing people, if my aunt wants to punish me, it is nothing more than punishing me to take care of flowers and plants."

"Tending flowers and plants can also be a punishment? Could it be that—" Feng Zihuan stared at Cui Xuanji with a look of fun, "So you can't?"

"I do not know."

She knew that Feng Zihuan was admiring her blush.When she blushed, she was only completely embarrassed.What now?It seems to be a little bit used to it now, and even has a strange and slightly distorted sense of satisfaction.

"Hahahahahaha! It's okay, it's okay, there is no one who knows everything, and I don't know many things. If I can specialize in one or two things, it's good. By the way, it's business, I ask you: I will go to court today, listen Jing Zhaoyin was very frightened when he said that there were several cases of wounding in the place where the newly promoted officials lived, and you led Habayashi to patrol, do you know anything about this incident?"

"I've also heard about it. It's just that Jing Zhaoyin hasn't reported to me to ask for assistance. I don't know much about the situation on his side. As far as I know, there are three cases in total, one of which seems to be a robbery, and the other two are It was an unprovoked wounding case. The theft was reported to the officials the next day, and the wounding cases all happened at dusk. They were reported to the officials at that time, but no one was caught. The injured were only peddlers, but they were seriously injured. Your Majesty heard from the court What's up?"

"You understand the discussions in the imperial court. Zuo just started to criticize the poor family, lack of tutoring, inability to control the subordinates, implying that some people are just pretending to be fake, etc. Do you think I am a fool?"

Cui Xuanji saw Feng Zihuan's angry childish look, and thought it was funny, and knew that she didn't really care too much, so he said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not a big deal, it's just to make some noise. If Your Majesty If you want to track it down, I can naturally take someone there. It's just..."

"What is it?"

"Doesn't it seem trivial to entangle these people in such trivial matters? Everyone knows that His Majesty wants to support poor officials; if this matter is made more obvious, it may not be conducive to the final completion of the matter."

Feng Zihuan sneered: "I can't let them use these small tricks to defile people's innocence. But your considerations are also reasonable, how about this, Xuan Ji, don't investigate publicly, keep it private. Use any means, investigate Let’s see if we find any clues.”

Of course Cui Xuanji answered yes, and changed his clothes at night, and thought of a coup.She can't just go by herself, she needs a helper who hasn't set off together for a long time.

"You bastard, what are you doing here?" Cui Xuanji had just walked into the backyard of Nankang Palace, before Feng Zizhang could speak, Xie Yan, who was sitting at the bottom and chatting with Feng Zizhang, yelled. I don't intend to restrain myself.

"Why are you talking like that?" Feng Zizhang stopped Xie Yan with a smile, and then said politely and kindly to Cui Xuanji: "Master Cui, please sit down and serve tea. I am visiting today, what is the matter?" ?"

"What's the matter? There won't be any good things anyway, don't you believe it—" Feng Zizhang simply threw a handkerchief on Xie Yan's face to cover his chattering mouth.Seeing this, Cui Xuanji smiled, and briefly explained what he had discussed with Feng Zihuan during the day, "I'm just here to invite—" She glanced at Xie Yan who was sitting across from him with a disgusted expression, "I am an annoying person My cousin will go with me."

"Look, I said it's not a good thing!" Xie Yan yelled under the handkerchief.

Feng Zizhang glanced at her, "I think it's just right for you to go, the possibility of you two being discovered together is not high; even if we are found somewhere after chasing, it can also be said that we went out to play together, no one can say Not a word. Go."

Xie Yan still had a look of reluctance, "Go." Feng Zizhang softened his tone, "Go early and come back early."

Xie Yan had no choice but to change into dark plain clothes, and went out with Cui Xuanji, with no good looks along the way.Cui Xuanji saw her, and teased her: "Why, I came at such an unfortunate time, that I spoiled your good deed?"

"Good thing? What good thing? I'll kill you bastard!"

"Hey, I haven't seen you for so long, you're going to treat me like this!"

Seeing that the moon is shining tonight, Feng Zizhang planned to play music and drink together.Feng Zizhang seldom made such a request on his own initiative, so it can be seen that he is in good spirits today, who would have thought that the damned Cui Xuanji would come out with such a thing at this time, how could Xie Yan not be angry? "You'd better finish the work for me quickly! If I can't return to the palace before the moon is in the sky, I will chop off your dog's head!"

Cui Xuanji smiled, "Then you'd better hope that the thief will come today, or a stupid thief."

"Pooh!"

The two of them crossed the street and came to this area near the residential area of ​​newly promoted officials. It was dark and the village chief {107} was already locking the door. Jump to the highest point, find the commanding height, and hide in the night to wait for the thief.Although Xie Yan kept arguing with Cui Xuanji about "What will you do if no one comes tonight", "If you dare to come with me tomorrow night, I will beat you to death" and so on, and kept talking for half an hour There is no heavy sample, and there is no relocation after all.Cui Xuanji couldn't help laughing, and when he had laughed enough, he patted Xie Yan on the shoulder and said, "I said you, did you read some crooked books again? How did you kill me with so many tricks?"

"Bah! You just can't say anything good!"

"Hey, I can't compare to you in this."

Although the two laughed and scolded, their voices were actually so low that they could hear each other. "Oh, seriously, why don't I think I can catch the thief today?" Xie Yan said.

"why?"

"Think about it, I've acted in the scene where someone is stolen and beaten, at most I can act in another scene with a thief in it, but this door is locked—"

The two stopped at the same time, because a figure appeared at the inner door, carrying a burden, trying to pass through the door.

"Looks like a stupid thief." Cui Xuanji said.

The thief originally stole things, and besides what he was asked to take, he also took a fancy to other things in other people's homes. As a result, this bit of greed didn't matter. After the time passed, the inner door was closed.He was carrying a large bag of belongings, and it was really difficult to climb over the wall.I wanted to take the risk of throwing the burden over first, and then turn it over by myself.But weigh the burden, it is really heavy, and if it falls on the ground, all the residents in the village will wake up.I had to turn over with a burden on my back.

In the end, this greed refused to let him go, and one end of the burden was hooked on the iron bars of the door frame, but what about the other end?Hook it under his armpit.At this time, Cui Xuanji and Xie Yan, who came close, were about to laugh.

"Hey, we let you down now, so you tell us the truth, or should we let you hang yourself?" Xie Yan said, "Otherwise, you'll be strangled to death in a while!"

While struggling, the man nodded abruptly, Xie Yan then stepped forward to cut off the bundle and let him down.

"Say, who sent you here?" Cui Xuanji asked.

"Little, little man..."

"Why do you need to hide it from me? Someone must instigate you to steal something, put it in a certain house here, and frame it. Otherwise, why steal so many things?"

Xie Yan took out a few gold utensils in the baggage, and looked at them under the moonlight, "It seems to belong to the Sun family."

"Yes, but the one you took was given to Yu Jun by Sun Mu."

"how do you know?"

"Sun Yue has such a big mouth."

"But what about this thing—" Xie Yan rolled his eyes, "Sun Mu is an old thief!"

Seeing that the man was still afraid to say anything, Xie Yan looked into the distance and said, "I'm afraid this is a series of tricks. The thief will come soon. Think of a way."

Cui Xuanji bent down and said to the thief seriously: "In this way, you don't need to say who ordered you, just tell you to put you in whose house." The third house, Cui Xuanji remembered, was a relatively poor official family.

"I really know how to choose."

Sun Mu is petty and irritable, and he is immoral, so he has no way to teach his children.It's just that compared to his son, he has one more advantage over his son - not being impulsive.At this time, it was his eldest son, Sun Qian, who led the private soldiers of the brigade, Jing Zhaoyin himself and the servants who had to come.With open flames, they surrounded the house where no more than ten households lived, and shouted loudly to let the culprits come out and die.When the Li Chang came out, each family was also awakened, and they went outside, and the two sides confronted each other through the Li door.Sensitive officials have realized that if they are allowed in, it may be a matter of time before they are found.But if you don't let it go, you don't know how loud it will be tomorrow, not to mention that you may not be able to really resist these hundred or so people...

Sun Qian was arguing endlessly, when he suddenly heard someone laughing behind him, the voice was not loud but everyone could hear it, it could be seen that he was a person with deep inner strength.He looked back, "Hey, isn't this Brother Sun Qian? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Cui Xuanji?" He sat on the horse, picked up the whip in his hand, and said through gritted teeth.

"What are you going to do with so many people?"

Sun Qian has lost affection for Lu Mao since Cui Xuanji's large-scale search for the perpetrator when Lu Mao conspired against him, and he couldn't realize that his dislike for her was mostly due to hearing some rumors without substance; it's just that he doesn't get angry when he sees When he came out, he thought she was a disgrace to the family—he had the nerve to say—"My house was stolen by thieves, and a lot of property was lost. I, I, and I led the soldiers to chase them along the road, and saw the thieves go in. I went to report to the police again. That's why I brought Jing Zhaoyin here to search for stolen goods!"

Cui Xuanji rolled his eyes in his heart, you didn't listen to your father's nonsense, or were instigated by others, so you didn't come all the way here, you couldn't catch up at all.

"Cui Xuanji! As a general in Habayashi, you are in charge of Jiankang's defense and security patrols. You are also guilty of allowing thieves to steal rich houses!"

"Brother Sun is right, since that's the case, how about I send someone to call the Habayashi guards to search for Brother Sun myself?" She will not favor anyone, but she is always the emperor's close servant, and she can be regarded as the emperor's faction. In essence...

"Besides, His Majesty paid for this place with the royal treasury, bought it and leased it to these officials who have just arrived in Jiankang. In fact, it is a royal property. They broke in without permission. I don't know if Brother Sun knows what this is. crime?"

Sun Qian had no choice but to let her go.

Cui Xuanji asked Jing Zhaoyin to send several officers to a nearby outpost to invite ten Habayashi guards and ten Sun Qian's servants to go in and search together.The chief had received instructions early in the morning, and was waiting for this trick, so he opened the gate and let them search.Under the supervision of the Habayashi guards, the members of the Sun family didn't dare to make a fuss. They searched and found nothing.Cui Xuanji stood where he was, together with Sun Qian who was on the horse, and Jing Zhaoyin who had to dismount, and asked the Sun family what they had lost.Sun Qian said everything one by one, with all the details, Cui Xuanji laughed out loud in his heart, but kept his face calm.

When nothing was found after searching, Cui Xuanji said loudly: "Since there is nothing, it can be seen that Brother Sun followed the wrong place." Sun Qian was about to leave when Cui Xuanji suddenly said: "But Brother Sun is so clear about the lost property at home. , It’s really not like a person who just lost something.”

"What do you mean?!" Sun Qian was in a hurry, but Cui Xuanji asked Jing Zhaoyin, what is the crime for reporting a false case?Before Jing Zhaoyin could say anything, Sun Qian could tell.

"Reporting a false case again, breaking into the house of the imperial court official and offending the imperial court official, I think in order to repay everyone's innocence, we—" she said to Jing Zhaoyin, "let's go to Sun's residence, ah." Sun Qian couldn't stop him, Jing Zhaoyin had no choice but to follow the officer.Not long after arriving at the Sun Mansion, Sun Qian hurried to the gate, swearing at Cui Xuanji for not having an imperial decree and trespassing on the mansion of a noble family, what a crime it is.Cui Xuanji said in his heart, who said I have to go in.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes on the left, people shouted, and a group of people came over. It was Yu Jun and his own servants.Although Yu Jun came from a noble family, he was a general with a straight temper and a senior man. When he saw Sun Qian open his mouth, he scolded: "Boy! Get out of the way! I want to come in and catch the thief!" Sun Qian was impatient and shouted: "Yu— —What did my uncle say! What a thief!"

"My house was stolen, and the thief walked right under my nose. I chased him all the way and saw him climb over the wall and enter your house. Let me in quickly! If you lose the thing bestowed by my late emperor, I will cut off your head." Come change!"

Cui Xuanji doesn't need to talk now, just wait for them to make trouble.Sun Qian was in a hurry, and on the one hand, he would rather die than give up, and on the other hand, he asked the concierge to call his father.After Sun Mu came out, Yu Jun was a little more amiable, but still insisted on going in.When Sun Mu refused to let go, Yu Jun was annoyed, and shouted that if you don't let it go, you will cover it up!Sun Mu was powerless to argue.Cui Xuanji stood aside, the torchlight gave her a headache.

Xie Yan must have gone back, she thought, it would be better if she didn't actually show up, lest she be involved.I want to laugh when I think about it, I really want to know how she "stealed" the Yu family.

Yes, if you want to know, you have to go in.

"So? What's the matter?" The next day the morning was over, and there was not much to do. Feng Zihuan simply grabbed Cui Xuanji and asked, "Later, Yu Jun broke in directly. He is strong, and none of the members of the Sun family can stop him." Him. Since we can’t stop him, we can’t be bothered if we go in behind. When he went in, Yu Jun was so angry that not only the few things Sun Mu gave him the day before, but also stolen later, were clearly displayed in the hall. , and a few things that were bestowed by the emperor, also fell to the ground. But the thief disappeared. Seeing this, Yu Jun was furious, and slapped Sun Qian on the face."

Feng Zihuan laughed loudly, "Hahahahahahaha! Then, you let Jing Zhaoyin take the opportunity to count the stolen property reported by the Sun family?"

"Yes, scattered all over the place, there are many of them."

"No wonder Yu Jun had an angry face in the court today, but he didn't make trouble. I'm still curious about what happened. It turned out to be like this, hahahaha! I'll give you credit for this."

"No, Your Majesty will give Xie Yan a credit."

"Why?"

In the Nankang Palace, Xie Yan, who was rubbing medicine on his accidentally blue arm while talking about it with Feng Zizhang, sneezed a series of sneezes.

The author has something to say:

{107} People's residential areas were called li at that time, and the length of the li was set. There was a road leading to the main road and the outside.
