Feast of Rebirth

Si Yongwang cried, laughed and drank, went crazy for a long time and finally passed out.He was still gurgling drunken words.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the wind picked up.Hu Yan withdrew cautiously, closed the doors and windows, and began to hesitate what to do with these two people.

He turned around and went downstairs, and decided to hand over Si Yongwang to the shopkeeper. Si Yongwang is so famous that it is difficult to find anyone in the capital who doesn't know him. Just let him wait here for someone from the academy to find him later. up.

He went down the stairs, Xiao Er came to meet him, and behind him was a student in the uniform of the academy, um, Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the academy's movements are quite fast.

Xiaoer bowed to him: "How is the master?"

"Drunk, fell asleep." Hu Yan turned around and walked back.Immediately aware that the student was looking at him, the stabbing made him uncomfortable.

What's the meaning?Never seen a demon?Hu Yan murmured in his heart, and opened the door patiently, and the two of them lay down on the ground and fell asleep soundly.

The student suddenly asked, "Why is Mr. Yun here?"

Hu Yan glanced at the student. He was handsome, not ordinary, but he really didn't know him: "I met him by chance on the road, and I was caught drinking with him—how do you know him?"

"Xiaosheng Bai Ziqian has always admired Mr. Yun's name. He got acquainted with his brother Bai Jiu. Xiaosheng's character was also bestowed by Mr. Yun—I don't know how you know him?"

"Ah? It happened many years ago." Hu Yan yawned, "Hurry up and take your teacher away." He picked up Yun Congfeng with one hand, light as a swallow, and walked directly from the open window flew away.

Bai Ziqian looked at the window, thoughtful.

Xiaoer asked cautiously, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"nothing."

Yun Congfeng woke up halfway, and Hu Yan held him between his arms, and he said, "My stomach hurts a little from your strangulation."

"Then I'll hold you." Hu Yan let go, quickly bent over and picked him up, and couldn't help laughing: "Is this good?!"

Yun Congfeng was ashamed and annoyed, he scolded with a suppressed expression, "You look like a bandit!"

"Then you are Mrs. Yazhai?"

"Don't talk nonsense, besides, I'm annoyed!"

"I'm serious, do you want to be my Mrs. Yazhai?"

Yun Congfeng turned serious: "If you really dare to occupy the mountain and become king and become a bandit, I will be the first to apply to the superior to arrest you."

"Oh, I'm so scared. Then what? Cut off my head and ask the boss for credit? That's fine, I'll make a big fuss, so you can get promoted faster."

"You..." Yun Congfeng's face turned pale all of a sudden, "You talk nonsense all day long, how can I be the kind of person who asks for credit and rewards."

"You want to catch me, but you don't want to rely on my head to claim credit, so what do you want to do after you catch me?"

"Hold you in jail and sit there for the rest of your life."

"Are you sure? Demons have a long lifespan. I'm not bragging. I can live for hundreds of years. Can you lock me up for hundreds of years?"

"I won't be reincarnated, and I will look after you when I become a weapon soul."

"A weapon soul...it really can last longer than a human soul."

"It's here." Hu Yan landed and put Yun Congfeng down, "If you really want to watch me for the rest of your life, then I'll sit for the rest of your life too."

"Okay, okay, don't say these unlucky words." Yun Congfeng stood up straight, rubbed his waist, "rest early, and have to go to work tomorrow."

Xie's house caught fire, and Xie Jitong passed away suddenly, causing quite a stir in the capital.After Xie's family opened the door to allow people from all walks of life to mourn, so many people came that they stepped on the threshold.

Looking up, I couldn't help but sigh that Xie Jitong is really full of peaches and plums.

"Master Yun. Master Zhong asked you to come over."

"Understood." Yun Congfeng didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to Zhenbao Pavilion.From a distance, I saw that the whole family of Xie's family was there, and it was crowded.

Zhong Hongyun, head of the Qingping Division, looked unhappy.When Yun Congfeng approached Li Bi, he said, "Have you been here before?"

"No."

Zhong Hongyun's face darkened even more: "Then before the illusion is set up, have you checked the scene? Are there any traces of demons?"

Yun Congfeng's thoughts changed sharply, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He replied calmly, "When I came down, there was a big fire in the Zhenbao Pavilion. The young master needs my help, so I will go."

"What can I help you with?" Zhong Hongyun's tone was not kind, Xie Jiashi came over and said in a gentle voice: "Master Zhong, please be safe and don't be impatient, I should explain this matter." After speaking, he possessed himself and whispered for a while, Zhong Hongyun's complexion improved a little: "Come here, this time it's not a small matter, just watch and learn."

Yun Congfeng agreed, and approached Zhong Hongyun, his heart pounding, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

The previous decision to suspend the investigation was right. It seems that Zhong Hongyun and Xie Jiashi have a good relationship?This situation is getting more and more chaotic. If Zhong Hongyun and Xie Jiashi really join forces...will the truth of the matter be revealed?His heart sank suddenly.

There are several second-class Qingping envoys around Zhong Hongyun, and Yun Congfeng is usually familiar with them. They are either good in magic arts or good in ability, in short, they are all elites in this second-class Qingping envoy.

Zhong Hongyun began to assign tasks to investigate and collect evidence separately.Yun Congfeng's task was to ask, to ask those servants who had saved fire that day - the most troublesome task.It is almost impossible for most people to fully explain what it was like at that time, most of them will add their own understanding is far-fetched, and some people with poor logical ability will drag it to other places without knowing it.

The envoy of Qingping who carried out the mission with Yun Congfeng was named He Yici. He was usually taciturn, but he had two talents in the study of magic weapon casting.Yun Congfeng didn't understand what Zhong Hongyun was planning, so he just asked him to memorize it, and asked questions by himself.

I asked several questions along the way, at least half an hour each, and a dozen or so.Yun Congfeng was exhausted, so he asked why he resigned: "Have you memorized everything?"

He Zhici said blankly: "Remember, take a look." He said and handed him the notebook.

Yun Congfeng flipped through the pages, and was surprised to find that He Yici not only memorized, but all the inconsistencies between the testimony of different people were all circled, and large sections of text were scribbled and changed, and finally he scribbled out a few words. line characters.It was so scribbled that Yun Congfeng stared at it for a long time before he recognized it.

"Your words are too sloppy."

"Indeed." Why Ci said honestly, but Yun Congfeng was so choked up that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't criticize anything harshly.After watching for a while: "Ask a few more questions?"

Why did you say yes.

If you ask more questions, the answers will be similar.There were not many people staying near Zhenbao Pavilion that night. The only thing that is certain is that the place where the fire started first was to the south of Zhenbao Pavilion. The entire attic was burned. Seeing that the fire was irreversible, Liu Xinshan, who was in charge at the time, gave up fighting the fire and moved as much as he could.

As for what was moved out, only Second Young Master Xie and the housekeeper knew.Yun Congfeng asked them if they noticed what was missing in the attic when they were moving things, but they couldn't explain clearly, the fire was too big, there was a sea of ​​smoke and fire in front of them, and they took whatever they touched, and it was impossible to tell what was missing at that time .

Here, Yun Congfeng feels that the collection is almost done.He closed the notebook and asked why he resigned: "Is it okay to have a job?"

Why did you say yes.

Yun Congfeng felt that it made no difference whether he asked him or not.

Reported the results to Zhong Hongyun, Zhong Hongyun also hummed, and there was no more to say.The other Qingping envoys came to report one after another, Yun Congfeng listened all the time, He Zhici took out his small notebook to write and draw, and stayed out of the matter.

Seemingly no progress had been made, Zhong Hongyun ordered the blockade of the area and announced that he could leave work.

It is of course good to go home and rest, but Yun Congfeng always feels a little uncomfortable.

He left Xie's mansion and walked around the neighborhood. There were many suppers on the street. He walked around and scratched his head for a long time, not knowing what to eat.

Why Ci walked over and bumped into him head-on: "Are you coming to eat too?"

Yun Congfeng nodded: "What do you eat?"

"Jiu Niang Lantern Festival."

"Then I'll also eat Yuanxiao made with wine."

The two ordered Jiuniang Lantern Festival and sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was mysterious and awkward.

"What's your opinion on this case?" Yun Congfeng broke the silence first.

"I don't have any opinion." He Zhici remained expressionless.

Yun Congfeng held back for a long time: "Then why did you join the Qingping Division?"

"My father wants me to come in." He Ji said, and asked in a rare way: "What about you?"

"I want to be prime minister." Yun Congfeng scratched his head, "I originally wanted to take the imperial examination, but I was recommended here by a big man, so I just kept doing it."

"Prime Minister?" He Heci's ice-like face loosened a little, as if smiling, "It's an interesting ideal."

"You laugh at me?"

"No, not at all." He Yici said, "I have also heard many young talents talk about the ideals, to be famous, to be famous, to be promoted and to make a fortune. They all think that the more the better, there is no best, only better, clear. You are the first to say you want to be prime minister."

"If you become a prime minister, you can't go any further, right?" Yun Congfeng also laughed.

"If you marry another princess, you will be a relative of the emperor."

"The power is not as good as the prime minister."

"No matter how powerful the prime minister is, he still serves the emperor. The relatives of the emperor are different." The hot fermented glutinous rice balls were served, and the store sprinkled a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. With fresh glutinous rice and sesame smell, warm and rich.

"Although..." He Heci started, but didn't say any more: "You don't talk about food." Scoop the Lantern Festival to eat.

Yun Congfeng thought that this person was quite interesting, he was not as dull as he appeared on the surface, and he lowered his head to eat glutinous rice balls.

After eating a bowl of glutinous rice balls, the two said goodbye to each other and parted ways.

"Hi." Yun Congfeng belched full of alcohol.

The glutinous rice was hard to digest, and he felt a little stretched, so he rubbed his stomach while walking.

"Mr. Yun?" He heard a very familiar voice.

Bai Ziqian was dressed very plain today, his whole body was shining brightly under the moonlight: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here today to mourn my teacher."

"Oh..." Yun Congfeng nodded dully, "My condolences."

Bai Ziqian just looked at his expression without any sadness, he was very calm: "Is the person you had dinner with just now, sir, a friend?"

"It doesn't count, it's just a few acquaintances. Why do you ask this?"

"Why resign? He is the son of the prime minister, don't you know?"
