There are many treasures in this country

Xiao Suo really likes the job Shen Yan has found for him. Firstly, it is free and undisturbed, secondly, it is rich in money, and thirdly, he can secretly read many books.It should be noted that in the Hongwen Museum, all the collections are classics, and there are many ancient books that are hard to find.

When he first came here today, he handed in an official post and changed a brand.Then a small official introduced him to an old man surnamed Yang, and asked him to take him to familiarize himself with the affairs.

This person has jade hairpin in a high bun, deep-set eye sockets, and a white beard under his chin. He looks like an old scholar. He is wearing a Ge Huang robe and black soap shoes on his feet, which is very simple.

Xiao Suo respectfully called him master, followed him and listened to his introduction one by one: "The three rooms on the left in the front yard are the editing department, and the three rooms on the right are the restoration department; the three rooms on the left in the back yard are the mounting department, and the three rooms on the right are the copying department Department. I heard that you have profound knowledge, why not go to the editorial department to help."

"Yes." Xiao Suo hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you Master Yang for your careful arrangement."

Lao Yang said with a smile: "Xiao Jiansheng, you don't need to be polite. Making the best use of things and talents is what an old man should do. The editorial department is quiet, and your temperament probably suits it."

Xiao Suo bent down again, and asked: "Master Yang is a senior, and he hopes to teach students more in the future. I don't know which department Master Yang is in?"

Lao Yang twitched his beard and said, "I'm in the repair department opposite. If Jiansheng Xiao needs anything, you can come to me at any time." He led him into the editorial department.

These three big rooms are never separated, there is a table around the wall, and the books on it are piled up like a hill. The people sitting behind the table are very quiet, doing their own work, and they don’t hear anything outside the window, and they only study the sage books .

Xiao Suo suddenly felt envious, staring at the seat from left to right, and then heard Lao Yang pointing to a young man in dark green clothes in front of him and said: "This is Mr. Liu Siwen from the editorial department. Just follow him, and if you have any doubts, you can ask questions as much as you want without being afraid of trouble."

After he finished speaking, he left.

Xiao Suo bowed his hands to Liu Siwen, and the latter brought him to an empty table with a serious face, and brought him a stack of books on the shore: "Xingshi Hengyan, you compile this book .” After that, he went back to study on his own and ignored him.

"But..." Xiao Suo moved his lips, but he didn't ask any questions after all. He opened the stack of books and saw that it was full of excerpts from the emperor's "Daily Life Record".

He developed the ink, laid out the paper, and prepared to extract useful sentences in one place before arranging them.

Just thinking about each word, time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was time to leave work.Xiao Suo rubbed his eyes, seeing that everyone was packing their things, he also sorted out the things on his case, said goodbye to everyone and left.

He has gained a lot today, and the people in the department are quiet and gentle. When they are not compiling books, they are also very warm to him and easy to get along with.During lunch, they also talked about the secrets of the Hongwen Museum in the past, and asked about Xiao Suo's life. They heard that he was a scholar at the age of 11, and they all said that he was very similar to the learned child prodigy Gao Xiucai.

Xiao Suo was very happy.

Only Liu Siwen didn't care about this, and never spoke a word to him, nor did he speak a word to anyone during this period.

Xiao Suo didn't mind either, maybe he was withdrawn and quiet by nature, that's what he had.

After work, he didn't go back directly, but ran to Qingtong Street in Dongcheng, and strolled by the roadside for a while.

The most famous ones on the street are Yinzhongxian Restaurant and Hongjian Teahouse. There are noisy people and crowds of cars and horses. Their business is booming, and you can see it from outside the door.

Xiao Suo didn't dare to go in, he just took a look at it from a distance and thought it was really good.

Shen Yan sat on the high seat of Yin Zhongxian, and saw a thin blue figure standing at the corner of the street from a distance along the window, it seemed pitiful, he seemed to want to step forward but dared not, so he could only look at the base of the wall.

He was in a hurry and almost chased him out, but he heard the sound of drinking beside him, so he had to endure it. "Where did you just say that?"

"It's time to talk about drinking!" said the middle-aged man opposite, who was slightly fat and squinted.

"Ah, yes!" Shen Yan endured the anger in his heart, slapped the table, and forced a smile. "This wine is the first-class good thing in the world. One cup can cure all diseases, two cups can cure thousands of poisons, three cups and four cups will make you happy and immortal! There are restrictions on drinking wine, so it's better not to drink it. This troublesome son of a bitch! The boss has survived, and we will suffer!"

The person on the other side clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, that's exactly what I said! When I meet the general today, I can be regarded as meeting a bosom friend. It's a pity that the old man is over sixty years old, and it's really many years late to know the general. Fortunately, the old man has resigned from office. Otherwise, I don’t know how many rules to abide by, I’m restrained all day long, and I can’t even drink alcohol happily! You say that the court controls the sky and the earth, can it control us to eat and drink! Even if it can control it, he is like a dog Just meddle in your own business! To tell you the truth, the emperor's move is really not very good, and this is why the old man resigned."

Shen Yan nodded with a smile, his eyes fell outside the window, and saw that the man entered a tall and luxurious shop, with the words "Zhenwu Trading Company" written on the plaque under the eaves.

"Oh, my lord is free, and we have to wait." He looked back and said, "Besides, who is like a lord, who is capable and lucky. I heard that the expansion of the Nanshan ice storage was done well because of the errands. , Even the late emperor once issued an order to praise your lord. With such achievements, the two brothers Liao Hui and Liao Huang have worked hard and never let you worry about your lord. Naturally, your lord can sit back and relax. How can we have such a blessing! "

The person on the opposite side laughed loudly, and his voice was as serious as Hong Zhong: "The general is ridiculously praised, but I don't dare to take it. Besides, the general is too modest, and the two credits of Ping Beidi and Zheng Xirong are enough for the general to eat for a lifetime, but the general I can’t see through it, but I’m still reluctant to resign! But the general’s words are to the point, we did put a lot of effort into expanding the ice storage back then, and we deserve the general’s praise.”

Xiao Suo came out again, with his head drooping, his face seemed paler than when he went in, and he looked bloodless.

Shen Yan secretly sighed, and continued to talk nonsense with the person opposite.This man's surname is Liao and his name is Ziting. He was originally a member of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also the father of Liao Hui, Lieutenant General Yubayashi, who resigned from office and is idle.

In the ice-drinking case, the reason why the Ministry of Industry buried the killer's body is difficult to investigate now.First of all, Chen Jidao will definitely not reveal the truth; secondly, after a long period of time, although the corpses were well preserved due to the lime on the foundation, they were burned beyond recognition when they were washed by water later, and even if they could be identified, it was still difficult to track down In addition, this case is an old case, more than 20 years ago, and the clues are almost impossible to trace.

Shen Yan had imagined countless ways to solve the case, but in the end, he was stillborn and it was difficult to put it into action.While hesitating, he suddenly remembered what Liao Hui said that day. He once said that his father had worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and what impressed him most was the expansion of the ice storage.

This statement is quite strange.

At the beginning Liao Hui said it was because it was extremely difficult to open the mountain, so his father Liao Ziting was unforgettable, but he didn't make much sense.The royal family is not a fortification of this kind of mountain opening. Besides, he checked the old files later and found that the ice bank was expanded on the basis of a natural cave. Officials, even after being out of work, they still can't forget about it.

There must be an unknown secret in this, so Liao Ziting was deeply impressed by this matter.Shen Yan now wants to start investigating from this person.

Liao Ziting was fond of drinking. It is said that he was reprimanded by the late emperor for being drunk in the past, but he was hard-pressed and still drank excessively. After getting drunk several times, he got into fights with the people. The news spread to the palace and he almost lost his official position.

Shen Yan woke up early today, and deliberately came to drink Zhongxian to "coincide" him.This person indulged in drinking during the day, and sat in the high seat of the restaurant every day, and because he was idle now, he didn't care about it any more, and drank like mud all day long.

Drinking Zhongxian's wine can be considered high-grade, but it is not as good as the old wine privately stored in the General's Mansion.Shen Yan also had another kind of Western Region wine, which was smooth and mellow like honey, and he asked Ruan Tong to add a few herbs into it, which made it even more sweet and fragrant, and could be smelled from far away.

Shen Yan brought the wine and had a drink early in the morning, and sure enough, he hooked this person within a short while.The two of you came and went to each other for a few polite words, and they asked for another elegant room to drink together.

He also didn't intend to use his words when he was drunk, after all, he would be required to come forward as a personal witness in the future public trial of this case, and it would be very difficult for him to leak his words while drunk.Shen Yan just wanted to pinch him, so that he had to act according to what he said.

It's just that he didn't expect to see Xiao Suo here and now.His unique treasure is usually not even out of the door, so why would he come to this bustling and bustling Qingtong Street, and why would he go to Naluoshizi Commercial Firm.

Shen Yan was quite puzzled, so he became even more irritable.Liao Ziting in front of him gradually blurred, he was fat but not very fat, his whole figure was like an oval pancake in General Shen's eyes.

When Shen Yan came out from Yin Zhongxian, Xiao Suo didn't know where to go.He rode his horse around three times, but he didn't see him, so he had to go back home in a sad mood.

After returning back, Shen San went up and reported back, saying that Shen Yan sent him to Yunqi Temple to inquire about Taoist Zhaoxue this morning.

According to him, this Zhaoxue Taoist, who claimed to be a Taoist cultivating in Mangshan Mountain, came to Beijing for unknown reasons, and put up an order to live in Yunqi Temple. No one knew his details.This person has not been in Beijing for a long time, but he often makes friends with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and he seems to have some connections.

If the poison in the Maru Yannian Yishou Dan was poisoned by Lu Yu, then ninety percent of the Taoist priest belonged to him.Now this person's whereabouts are unknown, and it is probably related to Lu Yu, but there is nowhere to find him for a while.

But Shen San'er said: "Master, there is a way for the little one."

"Huh?" Shen Yan asked sideways, "What can you do?"

Shen San'er smiled and said: "The Zhao Hui who came to Beijing to look for relatives before, didn't he say that he found Mr. Xiao under the guidance of half of the immortals in Yunqi Temple? I think the liar is this Taoist Zhaoxue, otherwise, how could he be for Lu Yu?" How can you know so clearly when you are doing something, now we just ask Zhao Huihui, maybe we can get a clue."

"Exactly!" Shen Yan suddenly remembered, "It's broken, let's go!" Then he ran out.
