[Lu Xiaofeng] Temples are not as good as rivers and lakes

Fang Yu stretched out the bright yellow imperial decree in his hand. After seeing the imperial decree, the surrounding officials and onlookers knelt down and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After everyone knelt down, Fang Yu opened the imperial decree and said: "By God, the emperor ordered: I heard about the case of Jiaxing Mansion's counterfeit banknotes, which lost thousands of taels of silver from the Datong Bank. Gambling is banned, but there are still gambling houses involved in the case in Jiaxing. I am very sad because of the ineffective supervision of the officials. Today, Zhao Ying, the magistrate of Jiaxing, was convicted of dereliction of duty and ineffective supervision. He was dismissed from the prefect of Jiaxing and transferred The magistrate of Xuzhou was fined for one year; Liu Xiang and others, the Tongzhi of Jiaxing, were demoted to one level and fined for half a year; the two judges of Jiaxing, Wang Rui and others, were demoted by half a level and their salaries were suspended for three months; The head of the Luoma, who stole the seal and a hundred sticks, was imprisoned in Beijing; the Jiaxing government government arrested the head Jiang Long, and he was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver for his meritorious service in solving the case.

"Long live thanks!" All the officials in Jiaxing fell to their knees tremblingly again. The leader, the former prefect Zhao Ying, received the imperial edict with trembling hands, his face was pale, and he almost fainted.

"Everyone, stay calm." Fang Yu smiled, then looked at Zhao Ying in front of him, and said, "Master Zhao, you have to work hard when you go to Xuzhou."

"...Yes." Zhao Ying lowered his head, the flesh on his face trembled with Fang Yu's two taps on his shoulder.

After Fang Yu finished speaking, he passed through the officials, and under Jiang Long's guidance, he came in front of Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing.

"You are Lu Xiaofeng?" Fang Yu looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said.

"Exactly, this..." Lu Xiaofeng didn't know the other party's name, and for a moment didn't know how to address him, so he looked sideways at Jiang Long.

Jiang Long received Lu Xiaofeng's wink and introduced him: "This is the current Grand Master, Fang Yu, Master Fang."

"Scary! Such a young grand master?! Aren't grand masters all old men with white beards?" Sikong Zaixing shouted.

Lu Xiaofeng pulled Sikong Zhaxing back, distanced him and Fang Yu, then cupped his hands to Fang Yu and said, "So it's Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang is young and promising, and holds a high position. Lu really admires him." .My little brother has never seen the world, so please don’t take offense.”

Fang Yu smiled when he heard this, and said, "I appreciate the straightforwardness of people in the Jianghu. Besides, if Sikong Zhaixing, the number one thief in the world, has never seen the market, I am afraid that few people in the world have seen the world."

"Hey hey, where is it? Thank you for your praise." Sikong Zhaixing heard that the other party praised him, stepped over Lu Xiaofeng, took a step forward, scratched his head in embarrassment, and waited until he looked up to see Fang Yu's face clearly. , but was startled, and hastily retreated behind Lu Xiaofeng.

Fang Yu didn't say anything when he saw Sikong Zhaixing advancing and retreating. He smiled, then looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "You did a good job in the case of counterfeit bank notes. Your Majesty is young, and he likes people like you the most." The ranger, he was very happy after hearing your performance. But you don't seem to be very famous in the Jianghu?"

"Well, after careful calculation, I'm officially famous this time." Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache.

"I heard that you caught Luo Ma's sword with just two fingers. Does your move have a name?" Fang Yu asked.

"It didn't exist before, but just now I suddenly thought of it, it's called Lingxi Yizhi." Lu Xiaofeng proudly stretched out his two fingers that had done meritorious service, and put them in front of him, looking at them carefully.

"Hahaha, I don't have a colorful phoenix and two flying wings, but I have a good heart. What a Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows, what a consonant finger." Fang Yu clapped his palms and smiled, but he didn't know that his casual words had completely swayed Lu Xiaofeng's name.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Fang, I think his temper suits my appetite. I wonder if you have time to have a meal together?" Lu Xiaofeng asked with raised eyebrows.

"Forget about eating, I have to take the prisoner back to Beijing early. Lu Xiaofeng, we will meet each other by fate." Fang Yu also bid farewell to Lu Xiaofeng, and looked at himself secretly behind Lu Xiaofeng with a half-smile Sikong Zhaixing returned to the sedan chair.

After the sedan chair and all the officials had gone far away, Lu Xiaofeng pulled out Sikong Zaixing behind him, looked sideways at Sikong Zaixing, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, what's the matter, a grand master scared you like this? Although You are a thief, but the Grand Master does not hesitate to be as knowledgeable as you."

"Ouch, Lu Xiaofeng..." Sikong Zaixing glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, hesitated to speak, his face twitched, and he kept moaning.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, what are you?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at Sikong Zaixing's tangled expression, and felt that this person was inexplicable.

Sikong Zhaixing had no choice but to pull him to a place where no one was around, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered: "Do you remember that I stole two fan pendants on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Remember, isn't one full of flowers, and the other..." Lu Xiaofeng was about to continue, when he saw Sikong Zaixing's expression, he understood immediately, and said, "Oh, so the other one is the one just now. Mr. Fang's?"

"That's right! And I think that Mr. Fang must know that I stole his fan pendant! Look at the way he looked at me just now! Ouch! I'm done, I'm doomed now, I was targeted by the head of the government, I I need to find a place to hide for a while." After speaking, Sikong Zaixing was about to run away.

"Hey, hey, forget it, don't run away, where can you go?" Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly grabbed Sikong Zaixing by the collar of his neck.

"Lu Xiaoji, Lu Sandan, let me go! It's good that you are famous, and me! I'm finished! I..."

"Calm down. Let me tell you, even if Master Fang knows that you stole it, he doesn't seem to intend to pursue it. Think about it, what kind of concept is that, the emperor's teacher, do you need a fan pendant?" "Lu Xiaofeng earnestly persuaded Sikong Zaixing not to run around.

Now Sikong Zaixing recalled it, and said: "Thinking about it, it's true, it's your Lu Xiaofeng who can turn his head faster."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head speechlessly, and suddenly realized that Hua Manlou hadn't shown up until now, so he wondered, "Where's Mr. Hua? Why haven't I seen him until now?"

"I heard that Yunjian Temple was closed down by the imperial court, and Qian Xia'er's family is going to move out of it. I guess they should be there now."

When the two came to Yunjian Temple, they happened to see Huamanlou sitting and drinking tea in a pavilion.

"Young Master Hua." Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and called Hua Manlou.

Hua Manlou faced the two and greeted them with a smile: "Brother Lu, Brother Sikong."

Sikong Zhaixing nodded, but he was not someone who could sit down quietly and drink tea. He happened to see Zhu Ting and Jiang Long coming not far away, so he beckoned to them and moved closer, saying to Lu Xiaofeng: "You are talking here, I went to find them."

Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand, telling Sikong Zaixing to leave quickly.

After Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were left alone, they chatted.

Hua Manlou said: "Although I am blind, I am very good at making friends. I hope this is not the last time we meet."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "I don't like being with you."

Hua Manlou was a little surprised by the answer, and said with a smile, "Oh? Why?"

Lu Xiaofeng saw that Huamanlou had thoughtfully prepared a pot of wine besides the tea he drank, so he unceremoniously poured himself a glass and said, "Because you are more handsome than me, no woman likes to be with you." .”

Hua Manlou didn't expect the other party to have such an excuse, and said with a smile: "Your personality is cuter than mine, and based on imagination, people will think that you are a very comfortable man."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you are really unlovable, for example, why don't you go find Xia'er?"

Hua Manlou said: "Then why don't you want people to know your past?"

Lu Xiaofeng drank the wine in the glass, then put down the glass, and said: "Because I like to meddle in other people's business, if a person is too famous, I don't want to meddle in other people's business."

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "But you broke the Bliss Building, it's hard not to be famous."

Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "Yes, especially when the imperial envoy came here today, he became famous in the court. Speaking of which, it's a pity that you didn't go to meet this imperial envoy. He and we still have a bit of a relationship .”

"Oh? What traceability?" Hua Manlou asked.

Lu Xiaofeng took out the lotus-shaped fan pendant that Sikong Zaixing had stolen from his bosom, handed it to Hua Manlou, and said, "Didn't Sikong Zaixing steal your fan pendant back then, in fact he also stole another person's, and It just so happens that this person is the Imperial Envoy."

Hua Manlou rubbed the fan pendant in his hand, but his face became inexplicable, and Lu Xiaofeng also noticed the change in his face, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this pendant?"

"No, the pendant is very good. But, brother Lu, do you know the name of the imperial envoy?" Hua Manlou frowned and asked.

"He said his name was Fang Yu, and he was the Grand Master. What's wrong?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"This pendant is very similar to an object of an old friend of mine. Even the name of this imperial envoy is very similar, but my old friend is called Fang Yu... Maybe I was thinking too much. After ten years, I remember Maybe..." Hua Manlou's voice became smaller and smaller, but Lu Xiaofeng saw that his mood was really not very good, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

He lifted his left sleeve and saw that the red thread was still there. He was startled and shouted, "Why is the red thread on my hand still there? You won't really poison me, will you?"

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's voice, Hua Manlou recovered from his own thoughts, then his face became uglier than before, stood up, walked to Lu Xiaofeng's side and said: "It's broken, did I make a mistake? Look quickly See if the red lines meet in the heart?"

Seeing Huamanlou's serious expression, Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to be careless, opened his neckline, saw that the red line had formed a flower pattern on his heart, and looked at Huamanlou even more worriedly.

But Hua Manlou was smiling all over his face at this time, and said: "This medicine is called Heart Blossoming Pill. Take it around the Mid-Autumn Festival, it clears away fire and dampness, and produces fragrance all over the body."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't expect that he would be crushed by someone like Hua Manlou who looked very honest, so he was speechless and a little funny, so he just laughed out loud.Hua Manlou was also infected by Lu Xiaofeng's smile, let go of his worries, and laughed too.
