Suzaku Fury

Chapter 13 [10 Mingjin withdraws troops]

"Di Renjie!" Yuchi Zhenjin rushed to Di Renjie with a record book in his hand, "Look here, it is recorded that Lin Yi paid [-] catties of agarwood and [-] fire beads to the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Linde, and tamed elephants. Three heads and fifty bolts of morning glow cloth."

At this time, half an hour had passed since they found the ashes on the table.

Di Renjie took the record book in his hand, glanced at it briefly, then shook his head and said, "It's just a factual account, it doesn't explain the problem." Di Renjie closed the record book in his hand, sighed and said: "If you find Without the original record of the tribute from the foreign vassals, even if we turned him upside down, we would not gain much."

Yuchi Zhenjin also frowned when he heard the words: "The matter of the foreign guests in the Honghe Temple is a tribute. If the minister of the Honghe Temple takes the lead in embezzling the tribute, as long as he writes one or two less when counting the tribute, we have no way at all." Check it out."

"What your lord said is very true." Di Renjie put the record book in his hand back on the wooden stand, suddenly paused, and said again: "My lord, it's not that there is nothing I can do."

Yuchi Zhenjin turned his gaze and only looked at him quietly.

"Market envoy." Di Renjie said with joy on his face, "everyone who pays tribute to the Tibetan merchants enters the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they must first pass through Guangzhou and then leave Lingnan. Therefore, the Shibo Department must have a post submitted by the Tang envoy for the number of tribute. If it is, it will be recorded Comparing the number of tributes on the website with the posts stored by the Shibo Department, you may be able to get some clues."

Yuchi Lan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Perhaps?"

Di Renjie made a bow, and said with a smile: "The lower officials make mistakes. It's just that sometimes, what you see may not be true. Moreover, it takes a week from Chang'an to Guangzhou, and it takes ten days to go back and forth. However, now there is only about half a month left before the Lixia Yusi. It seems that we can only find another way to investigate the private embezzlement of tribute by the minister of Honglu Temple."

Yuchi Zhenjin was upset, but there was nothing he could do.He looked around and said sullenly: "But the 'golden house' that is getting closer must be moved!"

"My lord wants to move all the things in this house back to Dali Temple?"

Yuchi snorted coldly and said: "That's okay?! Who knows if this Fang Jian will be a nest of snakes and rats? I think the butler, with his eyebrows and eyes, must be a very good guy! If these notebooks are placed here, who will I don’t know if I’ll read the book again today?” He paused as he spoke, with a trace of contempt on the corner of his mouth: “Don’t you think there are too many things in this room and you don’t want to clean them up?”

Then he couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "It's okay. This little thing is enough for me alone."

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said: "My lord has misunderstood. I just think that we are new to Fang's mansion, and the other lord is not very familiar with him. If the housekeeper also got a share, you and I wouldn't see him outside the door today." That lock is on."

"You!" Yuchi was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt ashamed, staring for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Di Renjie quickly smiled and said: "But be careful when sailing for ten thousand years. My lord has reason to be worried. I will go out now and ask the servants of Fang's mansion how many sacks I want. My lord, please wait here for a while. I will go and get it." Come."

Yuchi hurriedly turned to his side, turned his face away from looking at him, just waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and come back!"

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to show too much. He just cupped his hands and hurried out of the house.Unexpectedly, he stepped over the threshold and saw two plain-clothed maids with strange expressions standing not far from the room.

The two were whispering something, completely oblivious to the fact that Di Renjie had come out of the room and was standing behind the door looking at them.

"...It really was that demon girl who did it!"

"It must be because you are unwilling, and you will harm the Fang family even after you die!"

"She deserves to die! If it wasn't for her, Madam wouldn't..."

"But... there are people there!"

The two paused for a while, and Qiqi looked at Di Renjie who was standing by the door and silently read their lips.

Di Renjie knew he had been discovered, so he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed to them from afar.

When the two maids saw each other, you pushed me and fled.

"Two girls!" Di Renjie wanted to call them back, but found that they had already run away, so he gave up.He remembered what the two maids were whispering just now, and murmured: "'Witch girl'?"

Yuchi Zhenjin heard Di Renjie shouting, and hurried out of the room. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he saw Di Renjie's fascinated face, and then followed his line of sight, and found that where Di Renjie saw were two walking A swift and graceful woman.So unavoidably unhappy, he said mockingly, "Girl?"

Before Di Renjie came back to his senses, he couldn't help being startled when he heard Yuchi's voice suddenly, and quickly turned around and called "My lord".

Yuchi Zhenjin raised his red brows and squinted at him: "Where's the sack? Did you find it for me?"

"Your subordinate will do it now." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Hmph! A prodigal son!" Yuchi glared at him, then turned and went back to the room.

Hearing this, Di Renjie stopped walking, and when he looked back, Yuchi was no longer by the door.

There is no way to explain, but I can only sigh secretly, and go to work quickly.

Di Renjie asked the housekeeper for some sacks, and together with Yuchi Zhenjin, he sorted out the useful things in the house, including several bags of music stickers, files and agarwood ornaments.The two were about to leave with their things, but when they turned around, they saw the worried old housekeeper waiting outside the door.

The housekeeper collided with him, and hurriedly asked, "Why did your lord evacuate my master's study?"

Yuchi put down the sack in his hand, walked up to him with his head held high and his chest held high, and said, "This is what Dali Temple needs to handle the case, so you don't have to ask about it."

The butler looked embarrassed: "But..."

Di Renjie also greeted him: "Don't worry, butler, we're just bringing Mr. Fang's belongings back for evidence collection as usual. After the case is closed, we will definitely return it to Zhao. Madam and the butler, please don't worry."

The butler didn't say much after hearing this, so he just turned around and summoned the three or two men, and helped them transport the sack to the outside of Fangfu's gate, and tied it to the horse they rode when they came.

It was noon when I came here, but when I looked at it now, it was already slanting westward.

Di Renjie got on his horse, took the reins and asked: "Your Majesty sees the sunset on the west mountain, and it will take an hour to return to Dali Temple from here. It is estimated that dinner will be removed when we return to Dali Temple. In this way, can your lord show your face and go out with your subordinates?" Meal?"

Yuchi glanced at him and said, "Why eat outside? The dinner is gone, let the cook do it again." After speaking, he kicked the stirrup and the horse started to gallop.

Di Renjie galloped up to catch up with him: "Dali Temple clearly stipulates that the stove should be started after dinner, and the cost will be calculated separately. As far as my subordinates know, almost all of your lord's salary this month is spent on the repairs of the Dali Temple's house, right?"

Yuchi glared at him when he heard this, and said angrily, "What does this matter have to do with you?"

Di Renjie held the rein of the horse and laughed: "This subordinate knows that he wastes lamp oil in Dali Temple every night, and he feels guilty, so he just wants to make some subsidies."

Yuchi Zhenjin thought about it for a second, and felt it was reasonable, so he said in relief: "Forget it, I'll go with you. I don't like to owe people, and I don't want others to owe me."

Seeing that Yuchi accepted the invitation, Di Renjie couldn't help but brows happily: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord."

Yuchi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and asked again: "You and I are carrying evidence on our backs, so you must not go to some places where the teachings are high and low."

"My lord, you can rest assured." Di Renjie said with a smile, "I don't intend to dismount for dinner."

Yuchi looked at him suspiciously.

"There is still one place that we haven't visited carefully." Di Renjie looked up and looked forward, "Time is running out, and I have to wrong my lord."

Yuchi thought to himself, then looked at him again: "Do you want to go to Paradise Street?"

Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "Exactly."

Yuchi snorted, and said with a smile, "It turns out that the 'responsibility for crimes' is false, but the truth is that you want to borrow the status of the minister of Dali Temple."

Di Renjie just smiled and said nothing.

"No problem!" Yuchi held the reins of the horse, "I also have the same intention, now I will walk with you to Tianjie!"

After finishing speaking, he shouted and urged the horse to gallop.
