mountain and river drinker

An uncle of a human being, but... Besides, all the crimes have to be borne by others. "

Yu Xiao didn't say anything anymore, perhaps because she lost the strength to speak, she bent down and accompanied Zhou Hanzhi out of the door of the third hall.The sky was cloudless and sunny, and he asked the yamen servants to arrest his staff members on charges of deception and embezzlement, and when he gave the order with his stomach full, his face showed a strange awe-inspiring righteousness, and he would general Gai He suppressed the lingering death in his eyes.

reed flute

Counting the fishing lights on the ancient bank, the moon cage on the dragon sand is as bright as snow, the egret sleeps under the reed, and there is the sound of the flute in the reed flower.

Zhou Hanzhi sat on the bow of the small boat, without saying a word from the beginning to the end, Fang Chengyan suddenly put away the flute.

"My lord's surname is not Hu." Fang Chengyan said first, his voice was mellow and steady, with a calming softness, which taught people not to feel disgusted, "My lord's surname is Zhou, right? I met my lord by chance when I was in the capital, but then When I was so soft-spoken, no one would remember."

"Thank you Fang Zhizhou for sending people to guard secretly," Zhou Hanzhi stared at the water in ecstasy, "but you make it difficult for me like this. This time, even if I know, I don't want to find out about your lord. I respect your lord. A gentleman is not expensive, my lord. He has a lot of experience in literature and history, and has little physical strength. He should be a famous and famous feudal official in the future. My lord won't let me, and I can't know your crimes."

"I am Luli Zaifu, I only know that this place has festered from the heart and I can't save myself. I used to be a minister, and I was only a traitor to make my son kill my father, which is already unfaithful; It is already unrighteous for Cheng Suzheng to kill me to make a wife." Fang Chengyan continued with a wry smile, "Inhumanity, injustice, disloyalty, and unfilial piety, those who betray their masters and kill their wives should not be reused, and should not live anymore. Xiu Qi Zhiping Putting the cart before the horse, I see the evils of the world too clearly from myself. I will help my lord to sweep the world clean. I am a poisonous weed, and I cannot bear His Majesty's love. The cunning rabbit is dead, so the poisonous weed by the nest is also dead. If you want to pull it out, there can be no mercy."

"Hanzhi just wonders why adults value money power so much..."

"If you are poor, your parents will not have children, and if you are rich, your relatives will be afraid. How can you forget the status and wealth in this world? If you have gold and silver, you will be able to grab them if you like them, and you can buy whatever you like. I have hundreds of good houses. , day by day, I can’t finish living in it for a year—except for the permanent residence, the rest are just superfluous things. I also want to know why I still think gold and silver are the most important. Probably, only seeing these Only then did I feel that there was still a trace of comfort, and my heart was at ease."

"Aside from gold, silver, pearls and jade, don't your lord think there is anything more reassuring?"

"My lord has a love, but I didn't understand it at that time, and I don't want to understand it until now in my forties. I just think that people's hearts are contemptible. You have experienced life and death. You are not afraid of people's words, you are not afraid of people in the world, and you live freely. But in my heart I'm ashamed, I can't let others mention this matter. I am willing to be Cheng Suzheng's minion because of power and wealth, and I have lost my way and virtue."

"I admire your daring, but I don't want to let you go to hell one day. Your lord despises life and death. No matter what is good or bad, you can be convinced by Luli officials. Please don't refuse. Regarding the matter of greedy ink—— Your lord has never moved After those silver taels, I only care that my lord has been in charge of the people for a few years. No one is more suitable to be in government here than my lord. Your Majesty and all your lords think so, and your lord should not let down your talent."

"If what you mean by talent is that I am a good writer, of course I admit it. I have no righteousness, and I give up on depravity. Reading is only for Bokodi to become prominent and proud. If your lord does not want to let Chengyan go, Then please give me a death sentence, and don’t say anything else. The adults cherish their talents, and there are countless capable people in the world.”

"The fisherman and the woodcutter are not suitable for adults, so they can't be used for me. I just hope you don't blame me." Zhou Hanzhi stood up, stepped on the shore, turned her head and continued, "At most three months, there will be no Fang Chengyan in the world, and there will be no Luli. There are mediocre officials and evil officials."

"Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence, I feel at ease after hearing this. I am a bastard, my lord, come back—"

Zhou Hanzhi sighed, and finally left.He couldn't persuade a person who wanted to die, and Fang Chengyan lost his attachment in the world.

Competing for blood with rich bluebottles, competing for fame with termites, four or five years ago, Cheng Yan wanted to obtain high-ranking officials and generous salary, but now that he has obtained it, the red dust is only half a piece of paper, and there is no hope anymore.

A lifelong dream of yellow beams, in the end, it is a court class and a cast copper mountain, just for clothes and food, and for a person who is not hungry to keep warm.But he abandoned his family and son and lost his love forever, so he really lost his strength.

Zhou Hanzhi threw the dirty money stolen from the masters to Fang Chengyan, and finally covered his real name with the guilt, and sent a thick stack of money back to the capital.He was secretly assisted by Fang Chengyan, Liu Zhanfang and others checked longer than him, Zhou Hanzhi was afraid of retaliation if he caused a disaster, so he ran to Yuanzhou when he had nothing to do, waiting for them to go back together.

Where there is abolishment, there must be backup, Qin Rong Gu has already made up his mind.Every year, I will personally go to the Wenhua Palace to see the approval of the masters. In the spring and April of the previous year, when Baohe Palace met, I discussed with Feng Zhongjing, Cheng Gao and others, and secretly decided on the candidates, and planned to combine the newcomers with several seniors Talented officials were transferred to Luli together, but it is not known how many Luli will be abolished and how many vacancies will be left.

Zhou Hanzhi didn't treat himself badly when he was free, so when he heard that Zheng Yan was in Yuanzhou, he sent him a letter first.

The Zheng family is well-known in Yuanzhou as a wealthy family of merchants, and their names are kept in the biographies.Zheng Yan is the treasure held in the hands of the Zheng family. He can go wherever he wants to go freely, with his mother and a group of aunts and uncles behind him to take care of everything.Qin Tan is not the son of Zheng's mother, Zheng's mother and Lulihou Heli have been alone all the time, only Qin Tanxuan's son, especially the old matriarch, was responsive to Zheng Yan's requests during his lifetime, which made Zheng Yan innocent but somewhat domineering uninhibited.

Zheng Yan and Qin Rongmao fought for some reason a month ago, and Qin Ronggu had no choice but to pursue the matter that Qin Rongmao picked first.Zheng Yan was also generous, and flung his sleeves back to Yuanzhou to recuperate.Hearing that Zhou Hanzhi was in Yuanzhou, he took him to live with him in his private residence in Wujiu Mountain.

A pillow in the small window is drowsy, and the curtain in front of the door rolls up the shadow of residual flowers.It is better to go to the mountains with clouds, and the emerald colors in the mountains will grow old with the smoke.Zheng Yan was lying on the couch under the window, lazily hanging the window frame with his hands. Zhou Hanzhi moved a small stool and sat under the wall in the courtyard to chat with him. Zheng Yan threw him a date from time to time.

"Before I came back, I heard Qin Ronggu sigh in the Hall of Three Books, do you want to know?" Zheng Yan asked him with a smile.

"I think so." Zhou Hanzhi replied simply, and Zheng Yan made a fool of himself.

"'Sitting alone under the south window, several pairs of Qingfeng miss him.' Hanzhi, do you miss him?"

"I really want to. But I want to know why you got into a fight with the second prince." Zhou Hanzhi was curious, "Although Ah Yan is capricious, she is not unreasonable. The second prince is looking for you in Yuanzhou. Are you sorry, and you didn't see each other?"

"Qin Rongmao still has the face." Zheng Yan rolled his eyes, "This matter has to be brought up three years ago. He has an unstable temper. At that time, my emperor uncle asked him to go to Chenhan Pavilion to read more books to cultivate his temper. He was fine. While the bachelor was taking a nap, he took off his hair and braided his head into a small braid. He was the one who hit harder, and he hurt the bachelor's hair, and was given a good training. But he insisted on putting the blame on me, saying yes The impact of what I did on him—the conscience of heaven and earth, I did it when I first came to Wangdu to study in the fifteenth or sixteenth year, how old is he, he was 19 years old at that time!"

"Rong Mao has a straightforward temper. When he first met me five years ago, he brought a sword to me and said that if I dared not like his brother, he would make me look good. Rong Gu kicked me out."

"You have a good temper. I am also the master that others can't mess with. I told him that I was his cousin, and it was wrong for him to insult his elder brother, but he denied it and said that my surname Zheng had nothing to do with him. That time I So I got into a fight with him, and I was embarrassed to tell you when I wrote the letter. He didn't hold grudges or pain, and he kindly asked me for something for the scholar of Jixian Hall a few days ago. I didn't come back, and Chun Niang asked him to go to the garden. Turn—it just so happens that there is a nest of swallows living in the Changsheng Pavilion in the garden. I think it is cute and has never been moved, but he was smashed by the swallows in the past. .”

"Just for this?" Zhou Hanzhi couldn't help smiling.

"I'm too embarrassed to tell you!" Zheng Yan knocked on the window frame angrily, "In the end, he hid on the beam and peeped at me taking a shower. I came to the capital and didn't want outsiders to know my identity, so my mother said I was born with the Crane pattern on my arm, and I have several cousins ​​around me. People see that my surname is Zheng and I don’t have the Crane pattern, so they don’t doubt my identity. Qin Rongmao hid on the beam. I just finished taking off my clothes when he suddenly jumped. Come down and say that I am a fake, can I not be angry?"

"So you beat him without even caring about wearing clothes?" Zhou Han raised his eyebrows, not expecting Qin Rongmao to be such a person.

"That's right. In the end, he said that he saw that I didn't have any clothes on...he wanted me to see him too so that he could be evened out. He is really a sick person, so I asked the Master to clean him up again."

Zhou Hanzhi laughed for a long time, and Zheng Yan knocked him on the head angrily.

"Hey--"

"I think the second prince admires you very much. You and him are the same kind of people. He is more stubborn than you and he won't treat others like this." Zhou Hanzhi smiled and said with narrowed eyes.

"I actually like his sincerity and frankness. If we can talk about it, he will be a friend, but he still has anger in his heart." Zheng Yan said sullenly, "You have Qin Ronggu, and his brother and I who have been abandoned in the future have to hug each other to keep warm. "

"You will also meet someone you like." Zhou Hanzhi said seriously, Zheng Yan suddenly sat up and approached his side face, before touching Zhou Hanzhi, Zhou Hanzhi pushed him, and leaned on the couch as if nothing had happened.

"..."

"I just think you're pretty." Zheng Yan said without a word.
