There are many treasures in this country

After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Yan decided to visit the palace.

As Yan Jun said, he was indeed deeply favored by the emperor, and he couldn't be so ungrateful and estranged.If he didn't know, maybe he could still ignore it like the officials, but since he knew, it was hard to remain indifferent.

Qin Huan got on his horse and went. It is said that the emperor sent him to ride on Fuzhou Mountain to see the terrain.Yesterday it was decreed to offer incense to the late emperor. Even if you are sick, you are not joking, let alone such things, they cannot be cancelled.

Shen Yan entered through the palace gate, and within two steps, he saw Yan Jun standing outside the court room, lost in thought.He has always been diligent, came early and left late, so it was reasonable to see him at this time.

Yan Jun was very surprised when he saw him: "You always come on time, why is it so early today?"

"Can't sleep." Shen Yan is not lying, he really can't fall asleep after sending Xiao Suo away, "I just want to visit the doctor, do you want to come together?"

"Visiting a doctor?" Yan Jun sneered, "If you are not afraid of death, then go."

Shen Yan rolled his eyes, did not open his umbrella, and really strode towards the palace.Yan Jun hurriedly pulled him back, and as soon as his fingers touched his sleeve, several eyes shot over from around him.

Everyone whispered to each other, mostly talking about them.Those absurd emotional entanglements were rumored in Beijing, and many courtiers heard about them.Considering the influence, Yan Jun frowned and pulled him into the court room.

"You are so generous!" Yan Jun pinched the bridge of his nose and scolded, "How many times have I said it, when will you listen to me! He is the emperor, no matter what relationship he has with you or the world—husband and wife , brother, father and son, friend, he is the emperor first!"

He pointed at Shen Yan's heart with both fingers, and said in a deep voice: "You'd better engrave this sentence in my heart, otherwise you will suffer sooner or later! You think it's because you have an unusual relationship with him, and because he likes it." You, can you disobey the etiquette of monarchs and ministers?"

Shen Yan was the most annoying for him to say these things, and opened his hand, but his tone was very soft: "When did I not observe the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, I just went to visit a sick person, why are you so angry!"

Yan Jun snorted and said, "If you only regarded yourself as his courtier, would you go to visit the sick? The reason why the emperor excused not to go to court is because he didn't want to spread the news about his illness. This is a taboo of the royal family. As a minister, how can you lightly commit a crime? If you are not just his minister, you should also understand what I just said - no matter what relationship you have with him, you must first discuss the relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Since the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is first discussed, you should be safe The duty of a minister."

Shen Yan was speechless, and said in a low voice: "I just wanted to ask the doctor, but you just talked so much, I'm really scared of you!"

Yan Jun was angry: "You think you are affectionate, you are trespassing! Does the emperor need your greetings? What he wants is that you can share his worries. Even if you can't share them, you should be sensible and don't let him Difficulty. Look at Zheng Shangshu, do you think he can't figure out the emperor's illness? But he just pretends to be stupid, this is sensible, and he knows how to cooperate with the emperor in acting."

Shen Yan smiled. In fact, he didn't understand this truth, but he just didn't want to understand it, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, you'll be impatient in the morning after eating firecrackers. I just don't want to go, actually I was also hot in the blood for a while, and I didn't think about it, but now it's cold, it's cold!"

Yan Jun was silent for a while, resting his slender fingers on his forehead, his expression was extremely tired: "Forget it, I'm in a bad mood today, I'm a little irritable, and I'm getting angry with you."

"What's wrong?" Shen Yan was surprised, he was always calm, and he was rarely so impatient.

Yan Jun rubbed the sun: "Do you know why that Zhao Hui came to Beijing?"

Shen Yan naturally didn't know, but judging from his appearance, he must have learned the inside story from Lu Yu or Zhao Hui, so he followed his words and asked, "Why, didn't you come to find his wife and brother Zhang Yuan?"

"No." Yan Jun shook his head, "Zhang Yuan is not his brother-in-law, it should be said that he is not just his brother-in-law. The two of them had secretly communicated with each other before Zhang Yuan entered the capital. Zhang Yuan Yuan disappeared, so he was naturally anxious, so he followed him to find him. The reason why Zhao Hui refused to tell the truth was because he didn't want to spread the matter."

Shen Yan was amazed: "I didn't expect that stupid big man to be able to do both floods and droughts!"

"Don't interrupt!" Yan Jun slapped him on the back of the head, and continued: "There are many touching words in the family letters hidden by this person, so he refuses to hand them over. Zhang Yuan told him in the letter He said that he got acquainted with the clerk of the Hong family's oil shop through Yabao Hong Balang of Zhuang Zhaihang, and through this person, he went to work as a cleaner at Chen's house, the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

Yan Jun nodded: "Ministry Minister Chen Jidao, Chen Jigu's elder brother, Chen Geometric's second younger brother."

"Bah!" Shen Yan spat, "I'm never finished with their family. If one is taken away, another will come, and after one is taken away, another will come! Does he have younger brothers and sisters?"

Yan Jun couldn't help laughing: "No more, just these three, it's already enough of a headache. When this piece was a cleaning guest at Chen Jidao's house, he probably discovered some secrets, and it was related to ice. He told the matter It was written in the family letter, saying that it needs to be investigated again. Who would have thought that he disappeared later, probably because he was discovered and silenced."

Shen Yan slapped his head: "I see, why didn't that Zhao Hui report to the officials, but went to Fuzhou Mountain to ask the gods for divination. I'm afraid it's not because of superstition, but because he knows that this matter involves the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I'm afraid that the officials will protect each other and report Not only is it useless to be an official, but it will scare the snake. Since this matter is related to ice, he wants to investigate it himself, of course he must first go to the ice room at the foot of Fuzhou Mountain."

"That's true." Yan Jun said, "Now that things are clear, you should also go to the ice room to see what the relationship between the ice room and the Ministry of Industry is."

"I'll check this afternoon, don't worry." Shen Zhengse said: "By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. Now that I've seen it, I won't beat around the bush. Do you know any literati who make a living, light and easy Son, can you earn money again?"

Yan Jun glanced at him, opened the oil umbrella leaning against the door, and went outside without saying a word.Shen Yan hurriedly ran to chase him, and didn't even bother to hold the umbrella in his hand, and was drenched with water vapor all over his body.

"What are you doing?"

He still kept silent, and walked out, with the same expression as when he ignored Wei Lan.Shen Yan is not Wei Lan, and he will not be timid or overly indulgent.He followed Yan Jun all the way, seeing that the palace gate was in front of him, and it was supposed to be a time when there were many people, so he couldn't speak, so he simply stopped him by force: "Don't leave, if you can, if you can't, then you can't, why are you running!"

Yan Jun didn't even look at him, and sneered, "Are you dating him again?"

"...I don't have any." Shen Yan said out of conscience, "I just heard that he has stopped setting up his calligraphy and painting stalls recently. I am afraid that he will lose his livelihood, and I want you to find him a livelihood. I will not interfere in this matter." , and won't... come out to see him."

Yan Jun stared suspiciously at his eyes for a long time, but he really didn't find any flaws. Finally, he let go and said, "I'll go find him, don't interfere."

Shen Yan responded with a smile, and Xiao Suo couldn't help sneezing at that time.When he came back today, none of the crowd had any objection to the sudden addition of little book boys beside him.Xiao Suo thought it would be a huge commotion, but he didn't expect it to be just a stone thrown into the calm lake.

Ouyang Xu has changed his appearance recently. He goes in and out with Wang Tiezui every day, and his speech and behavior seem to have changed back to the him he just met back then. Facing Xiao Suo, he keeps saying "Brother Xiao", as if the two of them have never met each other. There have been any awkward quarrels.

Xiao Suo was very puzzled. For example, at this moment, he was talking to himself about the Nanshan incident with relish: "I think this must be related to the brothel. You want to kill so many people. If you are a child of a normal family, you should report it to the officials earlier. How can I wait until now!"

Not knowing how to answer, Xiao Suo nodded and asked him: "How does brother Ouyang know about Nanshan?"

Ouyang Xu said: "I heard that the demigods on the street said that hundreds of corpses were found in the mountain, which seems to be involved in some terrible case. General Shen sent people to seal the mountain overnight, and he was busy until midnight yesterday to remove the corpses." pull out!"

A string in Xiao Suo's heart suddenly tightened. He was very sensitive to the word "half immortal", and hurriedly asked, "Where did the half immortal come from? Where is he now?"

Ouyang Xu went in without knowing it, curled his lips and said, "It's on Lianhua Street, where you used to set up a stall. Why do you ask this?"

Xiao Suo didn't answer, he held up his umbrella and walked towards Lianhua Street.Babao hurriedly followed with an umbrella in case anything happened to him on the way.As soon as he went out, he went straight to Lianhua Street, but there was no one around, not to mention any fortune-telling stalls, and he didn't know if it was because of the rainy weather that there were no stalls, so he had to give up resentfully.

In the afternoon when the rain subsided, Xiao Suo went to the street to look for him again, but he didn't meet a fortune teller, but a servant holding an umbrella.This person was about 40 to [-] years old, and he was born with a celestial spirit, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him: "Dare you ask, is this Young Master Xiao?"

Xiao Suo looked him up and down, saw that he didn't look like a liar, and said: "Yes, I don't know why the master called the students?"

The man smiled, nodded his beard and said: "Young Master Xiao is a man of talent, no wonder my young master has eyes for you."

"Who is your young master?" Xiao Suo has never befriended any young master, he only knows Shen Yan in the whole capital.

The man said again: "My son's surname is Lu, his name is Yu, and his style name is Yuheng. He is the No. [-] tea scholar announced by the late emperor. When you first came to Nancheng, you set up a stall to write and paint. My son also made a name for you. Do your best. You must still remember."

He knew several members of the Lu family, but he had never seen the person in front of him.Xiao Suo casually exchanged a few words with him, and the man led him in the direction he came from.

Seeing the situation, Babao tugged on his clothes, and whispered in a low voice: "Young master, this person's origin is unknown, you should be more careful, and don't go with him." Xiao Suo looked at him, then at that person, a little hesitant .

Before he could open his mouth, the man said first, "Don't you have an inseparable guard by your side, are you afraid of a villain who has no martial arts skills?"

Xiao Suo didn't expect him to know this, he immediately became vigilant, smiled shyly, and followed him outside a house in Xiaolianpeng Lane.The black paint on the door has been mottled, and the eaves have been broken, making it look particularly desolate.He passed by this house every day, but never entered.At this moment, being surrounded by people and sent in, I still feel eerie.

There was a small door in the courtyard, Xiao Suo held his umbrella and did not move.The man stepped forward and knocked, and saw a green umbrella slowly appearing behind the door. Under the umbrella, a person was covered by water, but he couldn't see his face clearly, only a green shirt stood out.
