After Yan Jun said goodbye to Shen Yan, he rushed back to Yushitai without stopping.As soon as Fang stepped into the gate of the mansion, Tan Zhaohui came up and played secretly: "My lord, Zhao Hui was interrogated again this morning. He is still the same, and he won't let in oil and salt. He insisted that those letters from home are gone, and he I don’t know anything about it.”

"If he doesn't recruit, is there nothing we can do?" Yan Jun sneered and told him, "Send someone to Xiaolianpeng Lane to ask the landlord of his wife's younger brother Zhang Yuan to see if you can find any clues. .Besides, such a big living person has lived in the capital for so long, so it is impossible for him to have no trace. Go and check to see who he has come into contact with and what he has done in the capital."

Tan Zhaohui clasped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, forgive me. I made my own decision the day before yesterday. I have asked someone to investigate, but there is no result yet. I wanted to wait until I found out the clues and then report to my lord. I didn't want my lord to ask first. Tell the truth."

"Mr. Tan is smart, quick-witted, and diligent and thoughtful in doing things. This is your benefit. How can you say you are guilty?" Yan Jun sat down in the hall, held up his teacup, paused, and then said slowly: "Currently the Yushitai is full of people. Insufficient, the censor of the right capital has been vacant all the time. After I was promoted, the post of censor Zhongcheng became vacant again. It is time to select talents. Although I was born in the supervision department in the early years, I have no bias in my actions and treat the supervisory office and the supervision department equally As Mr. Tan is so conscientious, his Japanese officials will naturally speak up for you, so that firstly, the talent will not be withered, and secondly, there will be someone to help the official."

Tan Zhaohui hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thank you for your support, my lord, I am grateful, I will definitely follow my lord, and you are the only one who follows."

"Master Tan, you don't need to be too polite." Yan Jun smiled, "It is your duty to recommend talents for the court. It is because of your good conduct that I will recommend you. If your lord is a bastard and lazy, I will This is not the case for officials. Therefore, adults only need to encourage and thank themselves from time to time. If we say follow, we naturally follow the emperor. After all, there is only one master in this country, and that is the emperor. Do you think so? , Master Tan?"

Tan Zhaohui bent over and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is right, the lower officials should remember it in their hearts, and only the Emperor and Your Excellency will follow suit."

Just as he was talking, someone outside suddenly reported that the yamen messenger sent to Xiaolianpeng Lane to investigate the case had returned, and was waiting in the front yamen at the moment, waiting to be summoned.Yan Jun was looking for them, but he said that Cao Cao had arrived, so he ordered Tan Zhaohui to bring them in to answer.

The names of the three yamen are also coincident, one is Yan, the other is Luo, and the other is Wang. Together they are King Yama.Yan Su, Luo Quan, and Wang Zheng have a very good friendship in daily life, so they often stay together on business.At this time, when they came in to answer the conversation, the three of them were still running side by side, like a couple of trees growing together.

Yan Jun sent him directly to Yushitai after he was admitted to the imperial examination. He started as the last servant of the Supervisory Department and made great progress all the way, and became the head of Yushitai at a young age.

He has never been to the other Yamen, and has always been working in Yushitai, so he is quite familiar with these three people, and he is used to joking.It's just that after his promotion, he has a high position and authority, and he is in charge of the big and small affairs of Yushitai, so they dare not make mistakes.

Yan Su bowed down and kowtowed to the three of them, and respectfully said: "I pay homage to your lord, the matter of the day before yesterday has progressed, and I am here to report to you today."

Yan Jun raised his hand, ordered them to get up and talk, and asked, "Have you found out where Zhang Yuan is?"

"My lord," Yan Su cupped his hands, "the whereabouts have not been found, but other things have been found. It turns out that the house rented by Zhang Yuan is the house of Wang Yongye in the alley next door. This young Wang Yongye is very familiar with it." , this person is a bridgehead storyteller, and he also has a stage name, Wang Tiezui."

Shen Yan lay on the grass for a while, feeling a little cold under his body, and afraid that Xiao Suo would be cold, so he hugged him: "We should get down to business, if you wait a little longer, the sun will go down."

Xiao Suo lay in his arms, rubbed his eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Just now I asked you if you still want to check the crack, and you said that sleeping is the serious thing, so don't check it. Now you say I'm lying, the left and right are yours. reason."

"Hey, little heartless." Shen Yan waved his hand, and "slapped" his ass, "I didn't say that because you were hoarse from shouting just now, and I was afraid that you would be tired!"

"You—" Xiao Suo immediately sobered up, "Why are you...you speak out!"

"How can I..." As soon as the words came out, there was a sudden rustling sound from the grass in the distance.Shen Yan pulled off the robe scattered on the floor, covered the person in his arms, only showing a pair of white thighs, and asked: "Who?"

Xiao Suo didn't hear anything at all, but still hugged his neck to hide half of his face and asked, "Is anyone there?"

After a moment of silence, no one answered, the knife in Shen Yan's hand tightened again and again, suddenly seeing a vigorous figure rushing out from the opposite side, it was his beloved galloping horse, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Little beast, come back to scare me after eating and drinking." Me!"

After this change, Xiao Suo no longer dared to lie naked like this, and hurriedly pulled off his clothes to put them on.Shen Yan also dressed, went forward and smoothed the horse's mane, and came back: "I have already told it to stay here, let's go up and have a look."

"Can he understand what you say?" Xiao Suo asked, pulling his hair out from his collar with great effort.

Shen Yan walked behind him, gently pulled him out, smoothed his black hair just like he trimmed a horse's mane just now, and said with a smile: "You don't know, a horse is the most spiritual. As long as you kiss it, it will Kiss you too. They are also the most loyal, even if you treat them badly, they will never abandon you. A good horse can find its owner even if it is thousands of miles away. If I speak, it will naturally understand.”

Xiao Suo put on his dry shoes, and was led by him to walk westward along the lake, the more he walked, the more he felt the stench coming from his nose.There is a pile of rocks in front of it, and the bushes beside it are extremely dense, but it is late autumn, and the leaves on it have turned bright yellow, and they are not withered, but it is not a special scene.

Shen Yan jumped lightly and skillfully, and walked over swiftly.Xiao Suo was full of embarrassment, so he could only roll up his sleeves and crawl over clumsily.

"Don't, be careful of falling!" Shen Yan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him with both hands.

Going forward, the stench became stronger, and suddenly there was a long hiss, and the galloping horse came galloping, with all four hooves flying into the air, like a horse riding a flying swallow, and rushed in front of them.

"Why doesn't it listen to you?" Xiao Suo pursed his lips and smiled, "Didn't you say that it could understand?"

Shen Yan also didn't understand, this horse has always been obedient.It walked two steps forward and then turned back, took two steps and then turned back, as if it was showing them the way.

"Let's go," Shen Yan shook his hand, "Go with it and see if there's anything tricky about it."

Xiao Suo covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and was pulled by him with the other hand. Not long after walking, he saw a hideous crack in the ground in front of him, which was five or six feet wide. The soil beside it was still moist brown, but the opposite side was sealed. mountain wall.

The galloping horse galloped forward, jumped forward, neighed, and pawed twice on the mountain wall.Shen Yan let go of his hand, leaped across the ravine, touched the horse's head, and said strangely: "This guy has gone crazy today, he's having fun with the rocks!"

Xiao Suo wanted to go over, but he didn't dare to take a step—the ditch is deep and wide, and anyone who doesn't care will fall into it—so he stood still and said, "Maybe there is something behind the mountain wall. Didn't you say it is very dangerous?" Spirituality, horses are no better than people, you can probably perceive things that we can't perceive, why don't we go and see later."

Shen Yan nodded, and went to look at the bottom of the ditch again. As soon as Fang squatted down, he was almost fainted by the stench, and quickly pinched his nose and said: "Bah, bah, what kind of old swill is in here, why does it stink so badly?" Son, smelling it makes me want to throw up!"

Xiao Suo also covered his mouth and nose and leaned forward, glanced carefully, and said: "Look, the water flows in from the side. The ground is full of soil, and there shouldn't be any smell. For example, well water is the sweetest. It's cold. The stench is probably brought by the water flowing in from the side."

Shen Yan lowered his head and said, "Let me take a look."

"Are you going to go down?" Xiao Suo was surprised, "Then you will become a heavy smell!"

Shen Yan pouted and sat down on the ground, holding his stomach and laughing: "You are so, why are you so..." I really couldn't think of a suitable word to describe it, so I just said: "Don't worry, you love cleanliness so much. I'm afraid you'll knock me out of bed, so I don't dare to turn into a heavy smell!"

Xiao Suo blushed and muttered: "No serious words."

Shen Yan broke off a branch from the crooked neck tree next to it, stretched it between the cracks, touched some water flowing from the side wall, and held it up to Xiao Suo's nose: "Smell it, does it smell like water?" .”

Ordinary people will mostly avoid it at this time, and those who are more arrogant and artificial may already scream out of fuss.However, Xiao Suo was an honest person, and actually obediently listened to it.

Shen Yan was joking with him, but when he saw his head lowered obediently, he hurriedly took back the wooden branch and sniffed it, then frowned and said: "Where is the need to smell it, it stinks to Grandpa's house! You are too obedient, let you smell it and you will smell it." Smell, why are you so stupid!"

He stepped back: "I think the water is coming from behind the mountain wall. I guess the horses of the imperial gallop have also seen it, so they kept digging. Let's go and have a look on the opposite side."

Although it is on the opposite side, the pangolins can't get through the cliffs, and they have to go over the mountains and detours.

Xiao Suo was already tired from walking, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only keep up with him quickly, but the distance became farther and farther as he walked.Shen Yan turned around and saw that he was still struggling to run more than ten meters away, so he ran to him and squatted down: "Quick, come up, I will carry you."

"It's not good." He shook his head, "You only have one pair of feet, and my back is even more tired, so I'd better walk by myself. What are you doing, ah——"

Shen Yan couldn't help but straighten up slightly, grabbed the back of his legs with both hands, and threw him on his back. "What's the point of these two steps? I'm not tired if I carry you to the capital. Hey, don't wobble, don't wobble, you'll be a widow if you slip my waist!"

"What are you talking about!" Xiao Suo was annoyed, this person is too thick-skinned.

Shen Yan deliberately turned around behind his back, and performed his peerless lightness kung fu, which caused him to scream again and again, and his ears were hardly deafened.

Xiao Suo hugged his neck with lingering fear, thought about it and was afraid that he would be suffocated, so he grabbed his shoulders instead.He put his head on the side of Shen Yan's neck, his heart was tender, and he couldn't help asking him: "Am I very useless?"

"Your palms are itching again!" Shen Yan couldn't hit anyone, so he could only threaten and intimidate, "If you say that again, I will show you lightness kung fu again! You lived in the general's mansion before, and you helped me prepare memorials every day, yes Don’t you also think I’m useless?”

"Of course not!" His tone was so strong, Xiao Suo was listening to the lesson with his head bowed, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help raising his voice to refute.

"That's it." Shen Yan nodded, "What kind of stupid people say this, how can it come out of your mouth? You are born to hold a pen, and I am born to hold a knife. I You are stronger than you, and you can read better than me. Isn't it very obvious, have you met anyone who is both civil and military?"

"Yes," Xiao Suo retorted in a low voice, "Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin."

Shen Yan cleared his throat, and said forcefully: "If there is, I think there are probably things he can't do, maybe he is ugly, maybe he has a bad temper." Thinking that Zhou Yu seems to be neither, he added narrowly: "Say Maybe it's a short-lived ghost!"

Xiao Suo smiled "puchi": "Don't curse indiscriminately, if one day your knowledge improves, it will be bad."

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"..."

"I won't...well try not to belittle myself in the future, you supervise me." Xiao Suo put his hands on his chest and twitched his clothes belt, "I just feel...so far away from you, so far that I can't even catch up with you superior."

For some reason, he felt relieved, and blurted out what he had hidden so far that he dared not say.

Shen Yan freed up a hand to hold his wrist, and said in a gentle voice: "It's just nonsense, when you are admitted to Jinshi in spring, you will become a clean stream, I'm afraid there will still be days when you dislike me. Those old bastards are holding back all day He wanted to punish me badly, with a booklet today and a secret letter tomorrow, wishing he could send me back to my hometown to plant rice! You will be theirs from now on, alas..." Sighing, he said again: "Thinking about it It’s really distressing that the white and tender little sheep I raised were just given to those old turtles like this!”

"I won't!" Xiao Suo firmly swore.When he spoke, his breath hit the back of Shen Yan's neck, scratching him like a fluffy cat's paw, "If I can win, I will definitely be a supporter and stand by your side forever."

Hearing the words "Shen Yan faction", Shen Yan was so frightened that he walked away from his true soul, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense, don't dare to talk nonsense! What support Shen faction, let people know that I am forming a clique for personal gain. But it's a great crime that will be executed without pardon! If you say that, others will punish you first, and I can't protect you!"

Xiao Suo said with a smile: "I know. It's not that there are no people here, I only talk to you, and I don't talk nonsense with them."

"That's not okay," Shen Yan said seriously, "You have never been in the officialdom, so you don't know the power inside. The wall has ears, and the listener is suspicious. If you talk in your sleep today, you will be killed tomorrow. These words are right You shouldn't say it to anyone, even in front of the closest people, you know?"

Xiao Suo didn't answer, he sighed, and said again: "You are so stupid, how can you become an official in the future? It seems that I, General Lian Po, can't grow old, and I have to continue to protect you!"

"Oh." Xiao Suo agreed sullenly.Hearing his tone, Shen Yan knew that his expression must be sleepy, and he was probably a little unhappy by what he said, so he teased him in different ways: "You said just now that you want to be a supportive school, but are you serious?"

Xiao Suo nodded vigorously, remembering that Shen Yan couldn't see, he said: "Really!"

"Then I don't believe it, you have to prove it to me!"

"How to prove it?"

"You kiss me."
