The salted fish script was played by me [Transmigration Book]

When the officers and soldiers completely surrounded the backyard, He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin had already passed through the bamboo forest and headed for the Ministry of Punishment.

After quietly sneaking into the criminal department to find Zhao Mengjie, the two learned the whole story from him.

"Zhou Xie guessed that you did it, so he borrowed soldiers from Lord Shangshu this morning, and surrounded the city gate and Dali Temple."

Zhao Mengjie hadn't seen him for several days, and he lost a lot of weight. He was still replying to the posts he handed in: "No matter how arrogant and unreasonable they are, at least they won't touch you on the surface. I will send someone to look after Mr. Sun, and come back when necessary." Transfer people, don't worry, both of you."

He Yanzhi saw that his face was tired and painful, he must have been under great pressure, but since he came here, he still asked him: "Zhou Xie is so persistent to Master Sun, dare to ask Master Zhao to know the reason?"

Zhao Mengjie stopped writing and shook his head, and after pushing back all the piles of papers in front of him, the master quickly sent another pile of thicker ones.

"Left and right are things that are not good for the prince. The duty of a courtier is to solve the prince's worries and problems."

He Yanzhi didn't say anything when he heard the words, but Xiao Hongyin snorted coldly in his ear, and then shook his hand quietly.

"It's time for you, my lord."

He Yanzhi bid farewell to Zhao Mengjie, and the two left the Ministry of Criminal Justice and walked on the street, not knowing what to do next.

Today's weather is too gloomy, the light is very dim, and the vision is gray.

Many shops on the street have hung up lanterns in advance to illuminate, as if the night has come.

He Yanzhi was walking, listening to the cries of vendors on the street, suddenly felt blessed, and pulled Xiao Hongyin to stop in front of a mask stall.

"These masks look good, you choose one to try." He Yanzhi took a pig face and gestured to Xiao Hongyin.

"You want to cover your face?" Xiao Hongyin looked at him uncertainly, whether wearing a mask in broad daylight would attract more attention.

The stall owner was amazed by the handsome young man in front of him. Seeing that the two were discussing to buy a mask, he smiled and said, "You two young masters have such good looks. It's really a pity to wear a mask. It's better to pick some jade hairpins to suit the young master."

He Yanzhi was surprised by his words, and said strangely: "Doesn't all businessmen try their best to attract customers, why do you still drive people out, little brother?"

The stall owner laughed and said: "It's just telling the truth, I don't know, but the jewelry stall next door is also mine. If you don't mind, I will pick one, and I will give you some silver for the smaller one."

"That's how it is." He Yanzhi felt that the stall owner was quite interesting, so he picked out a jade hairpin, pulled Xiao Hongyin over and gestured at him.

"According to my brother's eloquence, the business should be good on weekdays."

He Yanzhi felt that the one in his hand was too bulky, so he chose another light one.

"To tell you the truth, my son, the business is really good on weekdays."

The stall owner took out dozens of jade hairpins of different styles from the box for He Yanzhi to choose carefully: "Look, my lord, these are all new."

He Yanzhi smiled when he heard the words, took a few to have a look, then put down the hairpin and blew on his fingers deliberately.

"That's strange. If the business is good, it should sell more, but why are these items covered with so much dust? It looks like old goods that have been hoarded for a long time."

The stall owner was a little embarrassed, and said with an apologetic smile: "Young master is really powerful, you have already seen this, but I promise that these hairpins are indeed new."

He Yanzhi smiled without saying a word.

Seeing his appearance, the stall owner suddenly became vigilant, thinking that the young man in front of him looked good, could it be that the official from the household department came to observe the people's sentiments, and then explained and complained:

"To tell you the truth, the young one was originally looking for someone to buy new goods in advance, thinking that he could attract customers and earn more money. Who would have thought that a group of refugees would come and stand in front of the stall begging for several months, so that the small one would not buy it. It was not sold, and all the money was wasted..."

Xiao Hongyin looked at He Yanzhi, and only then did he understand his intention to suddenly pull himself to buy a mask.

There has been no progress in other matters, and he will be under house arrest when he goes back. It is better to take this opportunity to investigate the refugees.

He Yanzhi pretended to be puzzled: "Refugees? Where did the refugees come from in the capital? How come I haven't seen them, so don't talk nonsense."

This is a bit serious, and the stall owner was anxious, so he slipped his mouth: "My lord, you are wronged! The little ones didn't lie. They were still there before, but they suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and the little ones didn't lie either." I know what's going on, my lord has learned! Small businesses have always been honest and responsible, and they are innocent..."

"Okay." He Yanzhi asked him to calm down first, and asked: "Since you said there are refugees, do you really not know where they are?"

"I really don't know where to go!" The stall owner turned to think of one thing: "But the little one knows that they usually stay in the Town God's Temple on West Street, and I don't know anything else!"

He Yanzhi nodded in satisfaction, and silently wrote down the Town God's Temple.

He bought all the hostas, and only picked the light one to take away. Before leaving, he took a look at the stall owner.

The stall owner nodded repeatedly, expressing that he would never tell what happened today.

After the two walked away, He Yanzhi felt that the jade hairpin was in the way, so he stuffed it into Xiao Hongyin's hand.

"Take it."

"Give it to me?"

Xiao Hongyin watched him walk hurriedly and left herself behind, and deliberately asked him a question, but He Yanzhi didn't seem to hear it, and just hurried to the Temple of the City God.

Suddenly He Yanzhi stopped in his tracks, remembering that he was unfamiliar with the place where he didn't even know the location of the Town God's Temple, and he didn't know what he was doing here, so he asked Xiao Hongyin, "Do you know where the Town God's Temple is?"

Xiao Hongyin shook his head and remained silent, but He Yanzhi didn't hear a response, so he turned around and asked him again.

"You and I have never been half a step apart, so how can I know what you don't know."

Xiao Hongyin replied with a smile, and suddenly raised his hand towards him.

He Yanzhi subconsciously dodged back, and then felt that something was wrong, so he stopped moving, and let his fingertips swipe across the side of his face, brushing his messy hair behind his ears.

"..."

A strange and strange feeling surged into his heart, He Yanzhi didn't understand why he was acting like this all of a sudden, he became inexplicably irritable, and frowned, "It's not just playing around on the street, think about how to find your way."

Being attacked by him again, Xiao Hongyin let out an aggrieved "Oh" and coaxed: "It's just finding a temple, it's not easy."

He Yanzhi watched him casually stop a person to ask for directions, the person told him the location of City God Temple, Xiao Hongyin turned to He Yanzhi and said: "Look, don't you know now?"

He Yanzhi felt as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water, and his mind went blank.

That's right, I'm still thinking about such a simple thing, when did I become so dull...

Xiao Hongyin saw that He Yanzhi bowed his head in silence, his face was slightly flushed, his lips were pursed white, thinking that he must be sullen, then he took his hand and led him to take a step forward: "It's nothing, I'll take you Walk."

Qinglang's voice soothed He Yanzhi's troubled heart like spring wind and rain. He followed Xiao Hongyin through the crowd, and everything around him seemed to disappear, only the tall and straight figure in front of him was left in his eyes.

This kid seems to have grown taller again...

He Yanzhi couldn't help thinking of himself.

He is now in his late twenties, and he has long since lost the condition to grow taller. When he thinks that Xiao Hongyin can still grow up, he feels a sense of frustration in his heart that he is old.

What's more, now seeing Xiao Hongyin leading the way for him, this feeling became more and more intense, making him a little out of breath.

"Cross the alley in front and you will arrive."

Xiao Hongyin didn't know what He Yanzhi was thinking at all, but felt that today he was unexpectedly obedient and obediently let himself be led along the way, and couldn't help but feel at ease.

After he led the people to the gate of the Town God's Temple, He Yanzhi withdrew his hand and walked in first.

The temple here is neither big nor small. There is only one hall and one statue.

The hall was neither dilapidated nor luxurious, when the two of them came, there was no one else offering incense, and half of the melons and fruits on the altar were rotten.

He Yanzhi coughed a few times, raised his hand to wave away the dust, and looked around in the temple.

In the hall with high red brick walls, the gold leaf patterns on the corners of the beams have been peeled off by the years, leaving only shallow marks.

Under the staggered wooden beams, the paint on the surface of the statue has been mottled, revealing the inside of irregular stones.

Four load-bearing pillars stand on the four sides of the statue, and in the space behind the pillars, long colorful streamers hang down from the beams.

He Yanzhi first carefully looked at the area in front of the statue, but found no useful clues, and the same for Xiao Hongyin.

"Go and have a look at the back." He Yanzhi had just finished speaking, the smell of incense in the hall made his nose itch and he sneezed.

He didn't care much about it, and was about to lift the colorful banner, but Xiao Hongyin spread his hands in front of him.

"What?" He Yanzhi asked puzzled.

"It's dark inside and your vision is blocked, please hold me to prevent you from getting lost." Xiao Hongyin bent his fingers, signaling him to hurry up.

"It's only a big place, I can't lose it." He Yanzhi said his ink stains, and Gu Zi opened the colored flags and got in.

Xiao Hongyin shook his head helplessly, and followed him in, looking for He Yanzhi's figure among the layers of colorful flags, but the other party walked too fast, and Xiao Hongyin lost his way after a while.

He Yanzhi felt particularly uncomfortable with the smell of incense in the air, sneezed several times in a row, and looked down at the incense ash scattered on the ground.

"Look, Ah Yin, why are there so many incense ash here?"

No one responded behind him, He Yanzhi waited for a while, and Xiao Hongyin came to him after an unknown amount of time.

"Look at these." He Yanzhi signaled him to look at the ground, and the footprints of the two were printed on the incense ash all over the ground.

Xiao Hongyin also showed doubts.

"When we came in just now, was there an incense burner on the altar?" He Yanzhi only remembered that there were rotten melons and fruits.

"No, it should have been overturned here."

Xiao Hongyin looked around for the trace of the incense burner, He Yanzhi also looked for it, and the two separated again unknowingly.

In addition to the incense, there are footprints on the ground. He Yanzhi kept his eyes on every inch of the corner, but his back accidentally bumped into another back. Xiao Hongyin helped him and said, "I didn't see it."

He Yanzhi said: "I don't have either, let's look for it."

So the two went on the road together again, but separated after a while.

He Yanzhi was dazzled by the footprints on the ground, and several times found that he had circled back to the original place, and when he was about to turn around, he collided with Xiao Hongyin again.

"..."

He Yanzhi rubbed his sore shoulder, took Xiao Hongyin's hand straight away, and compromised: "Let's hold it."

Xiao Hongyin clenched his hand tightly, and a successful smile flashed by.

The colorful banners before the two figures disappeared, and after about a stick of incense, the colorful banners were lifted, and He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin looked down at their feet, and their footprints overlapped with the original ones again.

"It's back around again."
