They all say I'm a tyrant

You Yan never knew that there was such a place in the capital, he stood at the entrance of the alley, his brows furrowed tightly.He grew up in the capital since he was a child, and all he saw was the wealth and prosperity at the feet of the emperor.But now, as far as he could see was a patch of low thatched huts, one crowded next to the other, with only a narrow and muddy path in the middle, the carriage couldn't pass through at all, so he had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

There is still a drizzle in the sky, and it makes people feel the chill of late autumn when it falls on the body.The dark guard who had been following behind hurriedly opened the paper umbrella he had prepared, and looked at You Yan hesitantly: "General, the road here is very difficult, and it's raining again, why don't you bring me here?"

"Since we're here, why don't you go and see for yourself. He's been lingering in this place for so many years, and he probably doesn't want to expose his traces." You Yan glanced at the road, "This road is difficult, but compared to the time in the Northwest The quicksand of the desert is nothing."

The hidden guard was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he followed this noble and arrogant young man to fight against several times the rebels in the wind and sand in the northwest, and finally returned with a complete victory.Now that life is stable, their generals took off their battle robes and returned to the appearance of noble sons in the past, so that their subordinates almost forgot the pain they ate together that day, and they subconsciously felt how reserved You Yan was Expensive, how to take care of.

While the dark guard was in a daze, You Yan had already taken the paper umbrella from him: "This road is really narrow, I will hold the umbrella myself. There is another one in the carriage, so don't get caught in the rain." You Yan looked up Looking at the gloomy sky above, "If it rains in this kind of weather and catches the wind and cold, it will be very troublesome."

The dark guard was slightly stunned: "Thank you, General."

You Yan held an umbrella and walked ahead by himself, taking advantage of the dark sky to carefully avoid the mud under his feet, trying not to make himself too embarrassed, lest when he returned to Changle Palace, if there was even the slightest thing wrong with his body, he would be caught by someone. The emperor, who has always been worried, said.

In fact, Lin Ce didn't want You Yan to worry about this kind of thing, but the innkeeper who survived was very cautious. He had been hiding in a corner of the capital for so many years, and he refused to trust others easily. Besides, now Everything is still unclear, if you call people into the palace directly, you will definitely startle the snake, if you let the other party know in advance, if you are prepared, it will be extremely difficult to use this matter to thoroughly investigate Li Bu.

But Lin Ce has not recovered from his illness, and besides You Yan, he can no longer trust others to handle this matter.

After all, whether or not Li Bu can be completely brought down by this is extremely important to the overall situation of the court. Even Lin Ce dared not be sloppy in the slightest. In the end, he could only let You Yan begrudgingly. Follow the dark guards to this corner of the capital to meet people.

Walking along this muddy path to the end, passing through several low and dilapidated thatched huts, the silent guard pointed to one of the openings and said, "General, this is here. Wait a moment, and the subordinates go down and knock on the door." .”

You Yan's gaze stayed on the dilapidated wooden door for a moment, and he couldn't help wondering what the people living here rely on to keep out the cold.

The sound of knocking on the door was particularly abrupt in such an early morning, and it disturbed the dreams of many people nearby. You Yan frowned and looked around: "The houses here are compact, and there should be a lot of people nearby. How could he Living here, aren't you afraid of revealing your identity?"

"The general doesn't know that there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons here. Almost all people with unknown origins in the capital city live here. Few people from the government will intervene in the affairs here, so they will hide in it so that they will not be exposed." The dark guard whispered, " You will know when you see him, he is not very suitable to live in ordinary streets and alleys now."

After the dark guard finished speaking, there was a sound of dragging footsteps from inside the hut, probably because the room was really not big, and after only a few steps, the door was pushed open, revealing a forbidding face.

You Yan only glanced at that face, and immediately understood why the dark guard said that this person is not suitable to appear in ordinary streets and alleys now, because it is no longer an ordinary face, and you can't even distinguish him immediately His facial features, only a pair of frighteningly bright eyes, revealed obvious vigilance and caution.

You Yan frowned. He expected that the shopkeeper's situation would not be good, but he didn't expect to end up like this. He lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the opponent's legs. On his face, the hidden guard beside him spoke first: "This is my general, and only he can do what you want."

The shopkeeper's eyes were tightly locked on You Yan's face, and he took a step back after a while, and walked in with a limp: "Remember to close the door when you come in."

You Yan glanced at the low door frame, lowered his head and entered the narrow and cramped thatched hut, and with the help of a burning candle in the room, he took in everything inside.

This room is even simpler than it looks from the outside, a narrow bed, a wooden bench, a charcoal basin that has been extinguished, almost everything in this room.

The shopkeeper went to the narrow bed and sat down, pointing to the wooden stool: "Sit down."

You Yan didn't care about the dust here, so he sat down on the wooden bench, thought for a while, and asked, "What's your surname?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyes to look at him, and after a long time said in a hoarse voice: "The surname is Zhang." Speaking of this, he looked at You Yan with some doubts, "You can really help me bring down Li Bu, and help my family who died unjustly Revenge for the youngest?"

"As long as this matter is indeed done by Li Bu." You Yandao, "However, as a veteran of the two dynasties, Li Bu has always acted meticulously and rarely made any mistakes. life, and I don’t have the ability.”

"Of course I have the certificate. I have kept that thing in my hand for three or four years. Even if I die, I will not throw it away." Shopkeeper Zhang sat up straight, and squeezed his clothes tightly with one hand, " Back then, I gave all of my wealth to Deng Lian, just to change my son's future. Deng Lian assured me that the matter would be done, and he also wrote a document, so that my son would take this document to the Find our local prefect and say that he will definitely arrange it properly, let my son find a small official position in the local area now, and then find a way to transfer to the capital."

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes: "But a month later, when my son went to the prefect with the papers, he refused to admit that there was such a thing, and someone beat my son out with a stick. " Shopkeeper Zhang recalled the scene of that day again, "I begged Deng Lian's head back then because he kept saying that he was the son-in-law of the current Shangshu, and that this matter would be handled by his father-in-law himself, and the gold was handed over by himself. In his father-in-law's hands, that's why I thought of coming to the capital in person, and went to the Shangshu Mansion to ask Li Bu for an explanation."

"But I didn't expect that I would be chased and killed on the way. Some people didn't want me to come to the capital. They were afraid that this matter would become a big issue and tarnish the reputation of the court's minister." Shopkeeper Zhang squeezed his hands tightly, "I fought hard. Only after escaping did I get my life back, and I lost half my leg and fled back to Hexi, only then did I know that a fire had reduced my house to ashes, none of my parents, wife, children, old and young could be taken out, and they all died inside." He raised his hand and covered his face in pain, "I just want to change my son's future, and I don't want him to inherit the inn and be looked down upon by others. Even if I trust others, my family is so innocent. Why suffer from this?"

"Then your face was also destroyed when you were hunted down?" You Yan said slowly.

"No, I ruined it myself!" Shopkeeper Zhang raised his hand and carefully touched his face, "I know they won't feel at ease if they don't get the news that I was killed, and they will definitely try to find me to silence them. So I personally, personally changed my face like this, and from now on, no one will recognize me in the world. And as long as I live, I will definitely have the opportunity to avenge my family."

You Yan looked at him for a while, and finally it turned into a sigh. He stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and stretched out his hand to shopkeeper Zhang: "Give me the certificate, and when I thoroughly investigate this matter, your revenge will naturally be avenged." gone."

Shopkeeper Zhang raised his head and looked at You Yan. You Yan didn't have the slightest fear when he met his face, and looked back at him very calmly: "If you don't believe me, then stop here today. But I hope you understand, In my hands, the certificate is strong evidence to bring down the Li family, but in your hands, it is just a piece of paper."

Shopkeeper Zhang bit his lip, and finally took out a small kit from his arms. The kit was very old and even faded, but it could be seen that he had been carrying this kit close to his body all these years. , perhaps in his heart, this kit is already more important than his life.

You Yan took the kit and opened it, revealing the yellowed paper inside. He fastened the kit again without looking at the contents, put it in his sleeve, and nodded towards shopkeeper Zhang: "I'll take care of you." Take it away, and when this matter is over, I will send someone to pick you up to meet Lord Deng Lian Deng, Lord Li Buli for the last time, I believe they will be very surprised to see you."

The shopkeeper Zhang gave the kit as if he had given all his sustenance. He watched You Yan walk to the door in a daze. He wanted to say that I gave you my wealth and life, but looking at him now Look, what is your life worth?While he was hesitating, You Yan suddenly turned his head and glanced at him: "Since you have given me the things, it is considered as trusting me, so I am going to change your place of residence."

He raised his eyes and looked at the shabby hut: "The old man has gone, but the living still have to live on. If you only carry hatred in this life, then living is meaningless." After finishing speaking, he looked at the dark guard. After a glance, "Take him to Tao Jiang and ask him to arrange a place for him."
