There are many treasures in this country
Chapter 40
Yan Jun raised the curtain and took a look, only to see Wei Lan walking towards him from a distance.He has lost a lot of weight, and his expression is slumped. He is completely different from the heroic, upright and glorious him in the past.
He withdrew his hand and said: "Since the emperor asked for an investigation, what he wanted was not Si Tianjian's tricks of mystery, but for us to investigate the cause of man-made. He knew that the matter was caused by natural causes, but he still wanted us to investigate man-made causes." .Is the holy will not clear enough?"
Shen Yan suddenly said: "You mean, the emperor wants to attribute this matter to human factors?"
"Naturally." Yan Jun nodded, "In other words, no matter whether the matter was caused by human beings or not, the results we found must be caused by human beings. In this way, it is logical that the emperor will not punish himself. After all, this matter is 'man-made', not the responsibility of God, and has nothing to do with the emperor's virtue."
Shen Yan sighed: "Nowadays, the situation in the court is delicate and tight. If the emperor really issued this sinful edict, he will definitely give those people with ulterior motives some excuses. If it is true as you said, push this matter to the villains. On the one hand, it can avoid incriminating oneself, and on the other hand, it can also take the opportunity to suppress dissidents, and put the hat of causing an earthquake on the head of the person he wants to put on. This is really killing two birds with one stone!"
Yan Jun said with a smile: "So, our emperor is really smart to the bone! This is purely an accidental disaster, but he can turn the disadvantage into an advantage at such a fast speed. He is really a born big man , should be in power. Unfortunately, Guo Huiyi..." He sighed.
Shen Yan asked again: "It's just that this problem has been thrown to us. An earthquake is different from murder and arson. How can we rely on others?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a knocking sound of "Du Tu" outside the carriage, and only eleven said: "Master, Mr. Wei, please see me."
Yan Jun gave Shen Yan a look, waved his hand, and didn't say a word.Shen Yan understood, opened the curtain of the car, and said with a smile: "What is Xiaofeng looking for? Come, come, get in the car and have a drink with me!"
Wei Lan smiled lightly, her lonely mood was quite similar to that of Shen Yan some time ago, and said: "Let's bother Wen Yu some other day. I have something to say to Shu Huai, I wonder if I can invite him to meet?"
Shen Yan pushed himself and others, couldn't bear it in his heart, and quietly tugged Yan Jun's robe.The latter opened his hand without comment.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Xiaofeng went to his house to look for him, why did you ask me? I talked to him a few words before leaving, and now I don't know where he has gone, I think he is going back to the house Let's go."
Wei Lan looked back at the empty sedan horse guarded by Yan Jun's servants in the distance, and at the carriage curtain tightly held by Shen Yan, and she understood.Seeing him see through, Shen Yan was also very embarrassed.
Fortunately, he didn't point it out, just said lonely: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. If Wen Yu sees him, please tell me that I have something to say to him, and ask him to look at the old friendship. See you at any rate. I'll be alone. Thank you." After finishing speaking, before Shen Yan could answer, he turned around and left.
Shen Yan sat back in the car and sighed: "Why bother? If it's for my sake, then there's no need! You and him are Jinshi in the same discipline, and have known each other for many years. Besides, you know very well that he treats you with all his heart. It's different. When someone is not confused, don't worry about it."
Yan Jun's eyes fell on the golden peacock chiseled on the carriage board, and said indifferently: "Did you know? There is only one kind of people in this world who can retreat from the power struggle. Naturally, they are not the losers, but they are not the winners either." .They have lost too much on this road, and everything they gain comes at a price."
"The ones who escape unscathed and whole body are those who stay out of things and have pure minds. But not everyone has the opportunity to be alone. People like you and me are fine. But I always thought he would be different , He once had this opportunity, but he strangled it to death with his own hands. Rather than saying that I am sorry for him, it is better to say that I am really jealous."
He said as he got out of the car.Shen Yan leaned out half of his body, and said with a chuckle: "I don't think you are jealous, but you hate iron but not steel, so your heart aches!" Then he patted Eleven and drove away in the carriage.
Yan Jun was stunned, looking at his palms in a daze: Did your heart hurt?
Three days later in the afternoon, Xiao Suo received a note, which was quietly given to him by Shi Shi who went in over the wall.There is a sentence written on it: Two days later, see you at the Nanshan Ice Room.The crooked font is Shen Yan's handwriting.
After the earthquake, there were many refugees in central Beijing, and they were dispensing medicine in medical halls and holding funerals in various families. The streets were much more chaotic than usual, especially in Nancheng.
This has helped Xiao Suo instead, he has recently set up a stall, and his business has been unexpectedly good, many people have asked him to write letters to report his safety, as well as writing sacrificial rites, writing medicinal swabs, etc., and so on.
But there is good and there is bad, and because of this, those street vendors who were not used to him in the past complained quite a bit, saying that he took advantage of the difficulties to make a fortune and took money from the victims.
Seeing how difficult the people's livelihood is, Xiao Suo originally only collected a few coins as a symbol, but after hearing this, he dared not accept money anymore.But he never expected that it would be better to collect money, and when the collection was stopped, the refugees would not let him go.
At one point, someone asked him why he had to charge money a few days ago since it was free.At one time, someone said that he had earned enough money for the disaster victims, and now he started pretending to be a good person again, which was false kindness, genuine hypocrisy and kindness.
Ouyang Xu was not angry, he fought with people on the street, and when he got angry, he pushed and shoved, and broke his head.If he doesn't come out of the stall two days later, the market still doesn't know what to say about him.
Xiao Suo is very helpless, no one cares about those who really make money for the country, but he, who writes a letter and only receives a few copper coins to make ends meet, is criticized. I don't know what is wrong with the world!
Seeing that he was in a dilemma on Shishi, he said expressionlessly: "Why, is it not convenient for Mr. Xiao? If there is something to do in two days, I will report to the general and ask him to choose another date."
Xiao Suo didn't know how to deal with these rumors, now it is a way to take the opportunity to avoid the stall, so he said: "No, please reply to the general, saying that I will be there in two days."
Eleven said: "The little one will pick you up in two days." After finishing speaking, he went over the wall.
In the early morning two days later, he was waiting outside Lianhua Street early.When Xiao Suo went, he was reading a book called The Legend of a Knight, which was the one Xi Sheng had read.The two met, nodded to each other, and drove out of the city.
Before going out today, Xiao Suo thought of the last time he was shivering in the ice cellar, so he purposely put on more clothes. Inside was still the old brocade jacket, and outside he put on a gray cloth jacket that Shan Gu made for him the day before yesterday.
He was born delicate and handsome, because he studied since he was a child, his whole body exudes a gentle and quiet scholarly atmosphere, and he is also fair and thin. A little white in the snow.
Before in the General's Mansion, Shen Yan never dressed him in such clothes.It's not because it doesn't match, it's just that he stood there in plain clothes, like green smoke curling up and clouds floating, and it disappeared without a trace in one breath.
After Shen Yan got acquainted with him, he was always worried about gains and losses. Seeing him like that, he couldn't help being frightened.Therefore, the clothes made for him are all colored, whether blue or green, even if the color is lighter, at least it can give him some sparkle.
But now, he no longer arranges his clothes by himself.
Although Xiao Suo is wearing two pieces today, he still feels a bit chilly.Shen Yan actually wanted it too, and first put a blue feather satin cloak on him when meeting him. "Why do you wear so little? The weather is getting colder now, you have to be careful, lest you catch the wind and cold."
Xiao Suo tugged at the placket, "I've already worn too much."
Shen Yan understood, but didn't point it out, just said: "Let's go, I'll take you to a new place today."
They didn't enter the ice house, but followed the bluestone road, out of the forest, and gradually walked into a pasture.Xiao Suo followed behind him, and saw many people gathering together in the distance, everyone was wearing fancy clothes, leading horses, laughing and cursing, looking like a dude.
"Where is this?" He felt a little uneasy, because of his different classes, he still couldn't integrate into such an environment.
Shen Yan smiled and said: "This is Shepu, a fun place in the suburbs of Beijing, and it is also ranked."
"Shepu?" Xiao Suo lowered his eyebrows, "There are so many people, aren't you afraid that they will see you and me together?"
Shen Yan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, this is King Qi's place. Even if the emperor knows everything, there is nothing he can do about it. Besides, you should show your face here more often."
The reason why the emperor released him and spared his life was because King Qi wanted to win him over.Standing here more now is the only way for the emperor to stop killing him and use him instead.
They will never be able to fight against the imperial power, and the only way is to use their strength to help them fight.If they are lucky, they will survive, but if they are unlucky, they will die.
Shen Yan didn't go into the crowd, he picked out a docile bay red pony from the outfield stables, and said: "You ride this one, it's young and soft-tempered, it won't hurt you."
Xiao Suo hesitated: "But... I, I don't know how to ride a horse."
Shen Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll teach you. It's easy to learn, you don't have to be afraid, just go up first."
He still didn't dare, forced by Shen Yan's eyes, he had to grit his teeth and give it a try.Unexpectedly, the mere act of getting on a horse has stumped the scholar.Xiao Suo exerted great effort, clasped the saddle firmly with one hand, and tightly held the rein with the other, stepped on the stirrups and climbed up with difficulty. Halfway up, he wobbled twice and fell down again.
Shen Yan supported him, and said in a gentle voice: "Just take a step, and I will carry you up."
Xiao Suo had no choice but to do it again, kicking his left foot vigorously, he felt his body lighten, and he was hugged up.Before he could be happy, new problems came one after another. He clutched the reins, shaking with fear.But the legendary docile horse suddenly started to walk back and forth, which made his face turn green and pale in shock.
Shen Yan, on the other hand, laughed, and didn't ride his own galloping horse. He just let the psychic guy follow, and he took his pony for a walk slowly, like a boy leading a horse and falling into the stirrups. This little guy is also eye-catching.
Just a few steps away, a charming and beautiful man ushered in front of him.
He withdrew his hand and said: "Since the emperor asked for an investigation, what he wanted was not Si Tianjian's tricks of mystery, but for us to investigate the cause of man-made. He knew that the matter was caused by natural causes, but he still wanted us to investigate man-made causes." .Is the holy will not clear enough?"
