Lintai Storm Record

In the pool, Song Qianzhi hadn't taken a good bath for a few days, so he immediately decided to take a bath.

The pool was full of white air, and the two naked people slipped into the water. You couldn’t see me and I couldn’t see you anyway. Song Qianzhi couldn’t get up after washing his hair. He also washed his hair and opened his eyes. A sluggish look.

"Young Master, what are you thinking?"

The white mist wet Song Qianzhi's eyelashes, he opened his eyes with great effort, and in a blink of an eye, his mouth opened slightly, his expression stunned.

"Your unicorn seal is on your shoulder?" Song Qianzhi curiously stretched his neck to look at it.

Zhou Xian was a little embarrassed, lowered his head, his face was flushed, raised his right hand and pressed on the left shoulder socket, where was the head of the unicorn, and the whole body of the qilin sat on his upper arm with four legs separated.

Song Qianzhi glanced at Zhou Qianqian's chest inadvertently, and couldn't help sighing, his muscles are also very good!

Lu Guan's muscles are also very strong, the shape is obvious, and the flesh is distinct.

Song Qianzhi looked down at himself: ...

"Is Madam Hou alright?"

Song Qianzhi's eyes were blank.

"well enough."

After he left the palace, he went back home, and the servants and maids at home treated him strangely, and the two attendants happened not to be in the mansion.He hurried to his mother's bed to have a look before leaving. Zhou Wanxin was falling asleep and he didn't wake her up.It's just that Zhou Wanxin has lost a lot of weight after not seeing her for a few days.

Song Qianzhi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and when the tone subsided, he pulled himself together and asked Zhou Xian: "You don't know the result of Gao Niande's interrogation of Yan Licheng?"

Zhou Xian was a little lazy too, and said casually, "Of course I don't know."

Song Qianzhi hummed.It should be because he thought too much. If Zhou Xian knew that Gao Niande came back to report that Yan Licheng had colluded with Fu Mingmao, he would stop him from coming back. If he didn't stop it, it might be Fu Mingshao's order to abandon Lu Guan. .

And if you want to completely abandon Lu Guan, you can't promise Song Qianzhi to go back. Obviously, the emperor is willing to let Song Qianzhi go back to Rongzhou. Stay in the capital.At least Fu Mingshao didn't intend to abandon Lu Guan.

In Lou Jiangyue's case, Lu Guan already knew the ins and outs. He and the emperor should have an agreement in private, but Lu Guan didn't say what the agreement was.However, Song Qianzhi felt that there must be something else besides the agreement that Lu Guan would lose his life if he could not solve the case.Fu Mingshao's tone when he mentioned Lu Guan was still very different, but the Queen Mother was the person who knew Fu Mingshao best. Since she said that, Fu Mingshao must have done something.

The hot air went straight into the nostrils, Song Qianzhi's nose itched, and he sneezed hugely.

Zhou wiped his face first, went out of the water and went ashore, dressed himself, unfolded a dry cloth, wrapped Song Qianzhi, wiped it dry, and helped him get dressed.

Song Qianzhi's foot on the wooden clogs was so white that blue veins appeared on the back of his foot.

Zhou wiped his feet first.

Song Qianzhi was very embarrassed.

This bath was comfortable, as if the blood in the whole body had been opened up. Song Qianzhi slept soundly at night and had no dreams all night. At dawn the next day, he and Zhou Xian went on the road again.

☆、The Difficulty of Prosperity ([-])

Hurrying quickly, Song Qianzhi finally entered Rongzhou City on the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month.

The person who came to pick him up was actually an acquaintance.

When Ma Yufeng saw Song Qianzhi, he smiled happily and personally led the way for the two, just wondering: "Only the two imperial envoys came back?"

Song Qianzhi didn't know why he asked such a question, and said casually, "Yes."

"Your Excellency has worked hard, and I would like to ask for nothing on behalf of the people in the city, when will the imperial court's disaster relief food be delivered, and will it be enough to support the food in the city?"

Song Qianzhi's eyes moved.

"There must be food before we finish eating, why?" Song Qianzhi stopped and turned to look at Ma Yufeng.

Ma Yufeng quickly said that it was nothing, and asked casually.

Song Qianzhi didn't ask this little stay-at-home again, and he also knew that Ma Yufeng wouldn't come to him to ask if he wasn't in a hurry.It seems that in the past few days away from the city, there is a new situation, which may be a bad thing.Song Qianzhi thought about it, but he was not afraid. Yang Wen went to buy food, but he still believed in the housekeeper of Dachu.

If you don't believe him, who should you trust?

It was already dark, and the government office in the state capital was as lively as a market, and the entire office was surrounded by a sea of ​​people, and it didn't look like a sick person.

Zhou Xian guarded Song Qianzhi and entered through the corner gate, and entered the second hall, where he bumped into Shen Yushu's master.

The master stared wide-eyed: "The imperial envoy, the imperial envoy is back!"

Immediately, the entire state capital was uproarious.

The sound of mountain roar and tsunami spread layer by layer, and in an instant, the whole state capital knew that Song Qianzhi, who had gone back to Beijing to ask for food, had returned.

Song Qianzhi was terrified by the battle, and hurried back to his room to look for Lu Guan, but Lu Guan was not there.

I found a maid to ask.

"Master Lu is at the front door."

"What did he go to the front door for?" Song Qianzhi was stunned. The front door was neither a place to see a doctor nor a place to ask questions, and it was already time to go to bed so late. If he didn't sleep, he went to the front door to be a door god?

"Last night there were rumors in the city that Mr. Song would not come back after returning to the capital, and the court would no longer control Rongzhou. Everyone watched when Long Jinshan retreated. Mr. Shen asked them to move some of the food. There is a shortage of food in the city. , everyone was worried, so they gathered outside the state government office. There was no trouble today. Mr. Lu went to the town, and he stayed with everyone, so people in the city can feel at ease."

Song Qianzhi originally wanted to go to Lu Guan, but was afraid that there would be trouble outside, so he found a servant and asked him to call Lu Guan in.

After entering the room and sitting down, Song Qianzhi wanted to drink some water, but the teapot was empty, so he went out and yelled loudly: "Someone, boil water."

After waiting for a long time, someone came.

Song Qianzhi thought it was Lu Guan who came back, so he got up and went to meet him: "Why are you so slow..." The voice stopped abruptly, Song Qianzhi gathered himself, it was not Lu Guan who came, but Shen Yushu.

"Master Shen, why are you black again?"

Shen Yushu: "..."

The master went out to urge, and the hot tea was delivered soon, Song Qianzhi asked the master to call Lu Guan in.

The master complained repeatedly: "Those unreasonable people have entangled Mr. Lu tightly, and there is no food in sight. As long as Mr. Lu comes in, he is afraid that disaster will happen."

Song Qianzhi's voice was already irritated, and he almost exploded when he heard these words: "Did someone make trouble last night?"

The master glanced at Shen Yushu.

"Isn't that right, I almost toppled the government office."

Shen Yushu: "I can't let the officers and soldiers forcefully suppress it. I already have enough crimes on my body."

Song Qianzhi thought, forget it, Shen Yushu will also let it go.

So he asked: "After I left that day, Long Jinshan withdrew his army? The maid said he took the food on the spot?"

"Less than an hour after my lord left, Long Jinshan returned to the mountain and gave [-]% of the food he asked for. The weapons and official silver were not taken. The spy report said that he had led the bandits to the southwest and went deeper into the hinterland of the mountain. Ten miles away, we set up camp again." Shen Yushu shook his head and sighed, "But last night the government office was suddenly surrounded, and it was all the people in the city, Lord Lu made a decisive decision and asked someone to move a chair, and he personally sat at the gate."

"Those unscrupulous people even smashed the head of the adults." The master yelled angrily.

A piece of Shen Yushu's forehead was smashed black, but he was too dark, Song Qianzhi could only see it now after hearing what the master said.

"Wouldn't it be very dangerous for Lu Guan to sit outside?" Song Qianzhi's face darkened.

Shen Yushu immediately said: "No, Mr. Lu is an imperial envoy after all. He is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is quite tall. He has an intimidating spirit, much more majestic than a subordinate official."

Song Qianzhi drank a bowl of tea, stood up, walked back and forth, paused, and asked Shen Yushu, "Who said I won't come back?"

"That's what they say." Shen Yushu said, "Actually, I'm not sure whether the young master will come back or not."

Song Qianzhi laughed angrily.But when he didn't come back, whether it was Shen Yushu or the common people in the city, he came out as the empress dowager's nephew to make a guarantee at that time, thinking that someone might use his identity to make a fuss.At this juncture of his return to Beijing, people who don't know the truth can have a lot of speculations, and his identity is the most unfavorable weapon against him, which makes people suspect that he is going back to Beijing to hide.

But this matter is confidential, Lu Guan can't explain it.

After thinking about it, Song Qian's back became wet.

Fortunately, he came back. If he went to the Ministry of Officials to help Li Yeyuan and didn't come back, Rongzhou City would be in chaos in just a few days.

"Where is Yan Licheng?" Song Qianzhi asked suddenly.

Shen Yushu looked puzzled: "In prison."

"Zhou Xian, accompany me to meet him."

Yan Licheng was alone in the dungeon. As soon as he walked in, he could smell a mixture of feces, urine and blood.Song Qianzhi almost spit it out.

Zhou Xian's complexion was also very bad.

Song Qianzhi called the jailer and asked him, "Why is no one watching him?"

The jailer tremblingly said: "The day before yesterday, when someone was changing the urine bucket, he injured him. This person is a repeat offender. He was seriously injured. He couldn't beat him. He was afraid that the adults would have to interrogate him again. So he had to put a new urine bucket in every day. The previous one had never been used. Opportunity to change."

Song Qianzhi was speechless.

Zhou Xian waved to Song Qianzhi from above.

When Song Qianzhi walked out, Zhou Xian said, "I'll call another brother. I'll go with him and clean the cell first, then tie up Yan Licheng. Come again."

Song Qianzhi originally wanted to insist, saying that I am not such a person who cannot bear hardships, but Yan Licheng's smell is really unbearable, so he had to go back and wait.

Song Qianzhi walked to the second hall without knowing it, from here he could see the brightly lit front yard.There were too many people, and he seemed to see the chair in the door, but it was blocked again.

Seeing, being blocked, seeing, being blocked... After several times, Song Qianzhi raised his eyes and confirmed that the person sitting in the chair was Lu Guan. His back was like a towering mountain, and he was sitting there firmly.

Among thousands of people, only that one person, in the eyes of Song Qianzhi, is not only the snow in severe winter, but also the peach blossom in March.Song Qianzhi stood in the second hall in a daze for a while, his expression became resolute, with one hand behind his back, he walked towards the outer hall, squeezed through the crowd, and came behind Lu Guan.

There are two wind lanterns hanging under the door, the wind is strong at night, the lights are weak and fluttering.

Song Qianzhi silently stopped a step behind Lu Guan.

The man sat with his back straight, with his hands on his knees. He didn't know whether he was awake or asleep. Even standing behind him, he could feel the strength on his body.

In front of him were rows of civilians sitting on the ground, covered with straw mats, and many of them had fallen asleep next to each other.

Lu Guanruo felt something.

Just when Lu Guan had a thought and was about to turn around, someone below recognized Song Qianzhi.

"Is it the imperial envoy?! The imperial envoy is back!"

"Master Shen didn't lie to us, the imperial envoy is back, we are saved!"

People who fell asleep for a while woke up one after another, each was delighted, and stood up one after another, discussing in one go.

The most common thing is to ask the imperial envoy if he has brought food back.

Lu Guan also stood up, he was half a head taller than Song Qianzhi, his eyes were the only ones that were deep and bright in the backlight.

Song Qianzhi looked at his dark and thin face, and the faint light from the wind lamp above his head flowed in his eyes. For a moment, there were some emotions that were ready to be expressed in each other's hearts.

Lu Guan breathlessly asked, "Are you back?"

Song Qianzhi hummed, and hurriedly lowered his head. He wanted to rush to hug Lu Guan, but this impulse made him at a loss for a moment.Song Qianzhi took a deep breath, and when he raised his head again, he was very steady. He passed Lu Guan, walked up to the people, and made a gesture to indicate that everyone below should be quiet.

What he met was a pair of eyes full of longing, and there was a rush of blood rushing through Song Qianzhi's veins.

"Folks, I have reported the situation in Rongzhou according to the facts, and I will listen to it. The household department will re-allocate the relief food in a short time. The food in the city can last for more than a month. Everyone, please feel at ease for the New Year. People will be sent to deliver the food.”

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

The light in those eyes was gone.

After a while, a person came out of the crowd.It's Song Qianzhi's old acquaintance, Huang Wu.He was still trembling and leaning on a stick, and a middle-aged man on the left and one on the right helped him out.

"Lord Song, the people of Rongzhou are all up to you." Huang Wudong knelt down after speaking.

Song Qianzhi originally thought that Huang Wu came out to question him on behalf of the people, even he himself felt that it would be very sad if he talked in plain language and did not bring food back.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, a few people also knelt down, and more people stood and looked at Song Qianzhi.

Song Qianzhi could see that their eyes were full of question marks, they were also confused, and they were even more helpless.

Huang Wu knelt up straight, and said loudly: "Master Song and Master Lu went straight into the Black Wolf Village alone, captured the bandit leader, found out where the granary is, and brought back this month's emergency food."

"It was also Lord Song and Lord Lu who personally led people to block all the secret passages in the city. Otherwise, not only your father, husband, and son would have to fight to defend the city, but your home would also be ransacked by bandits. Starved to death. The doctor He who saved your life was also brought from Beijing by Lord Song and Lord Lu. Folks, you must have a conscience. If you don’t know how to be grateful and shameless, you are not in vain!”

More people knelt down.

Song Qianzhi rubbed his eyes and wanted to say something, but his nasal cavity was sore.

Looking around, there are countless people kneeling at his feet, most of them are poor and weathered.Worry and fear were written on everyone's faces.

Song Qianzhi folded his hands and pushed it out, bowed his head, and saluted countless people in front of the yamen.

At this time someone shouted: "We believe in Master Song! Huang Wuye is right. If you don't know how to repay your kindness, you should stop being a human being and become a pig, a dog, and a beast!"

"Trust Master Song!"

"I also believe in Master Song!"

For a while, rhetoric came and went.

Song Qianzhi's vision was blurred, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Folks, I, Song Qianzhi, swear on my head that before spring plowing, we will definitely solve the problem of food shortage in Rongzhou City." After a pause, Song Qianzhi said again: "Today is the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still eight days left, which is New Year's Eve. The beginning of spring next year will be on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so there are still eighteen days left. Even if the relief food is not available, the remaining food in the city will be enough to last until then, but it will take more than a hundred days to collect the food after the spring plowing. Before the food is collected, the court will definitely Allocate sufficient food, and everyone can just farm with peace of mind. The most important thing now is that the sick at home will take good medicine and take care of them, and we will celebrate the New Year like in previous years. We have to raise the strength we have, and wait for the spring plowing season, after more than a hundred days, it will be another bumper harvest year."

"My lord, has the imperial court started a war with Heidi?" An abrupt voice sounded.

Song Qianzhi's expression changed, but he didn't see who was talking.

"Is there a war?" someone asked.

"Lord Song, if this is true, can the imperial court distribute the grain on time?" Someone asked again.

Huang Wu stood up leaning on his cane in disbelief, flung the cane in his hand towards the crowd, pointing at them.

"I don't think Mr. Song should talk so much nonsense with us. The state government has raised us for nothing since the autumn harvest, and the emperor sent an imperial doctor to treat us. If Mr. Song hadn't taken people to the Black Wolf Village to go deep into the wolf's den, we How many of them can stand here and be aggressive. Two days ago, someone said yes, because they were afraid that Mr. Song would run away." Huang Wu sneered at the corner of his mouth, trembling with anger, "Now that Mr. Song is back, he also promised that we will solve the food problem. If you don't want to go home for the New Year, just sit here. I, Huang Wu, is an old bone, and I can't sit still, so I won't accompany you. In the past two days, what I want is the return of the imperial envoy, which proves that The imperial court still takes our Rongzhou seriously, and now the old man has got the answer."

Huang Wu stood precariously.

"Keep an inch, you shameless people, just stop here. It's best that you kill all the imperial envoys, and then someone can go back and ask for food for you." Huang Wuchao and Song Qianzhi cupped their hands and left with the support of two entourages.

The crowd was silent for a while, and someone shouted again: "Let's go, go back to celebrate the New Year, Master Song was forced to death today, who can go to ask for food? Can you enter the palace and see the emperor?" With Huang Wu's appearance, he bowed his hands to Song Qianzhi and left.

One after another, people knelt and kowtowed and left.

It took less than half an hour before the people who gathered outside the state government office dispersed one after another to go home.

Song Qianzhi was very tired, facing the empty street in front of the government office, walked down the steps blankly, sat on the steps, looking at the bottomless night sky.

Lu Guan walked to his side and sat down.

How did Lu Guan spend these two days?Empty words to make living people believe, that is life.Song Qianzhi has been an official for four years and has never really had contact with the low-level people. Now when he thinks of the breakfast he had in the palace, he doesn't know what it feels like.

Hearing Song Qianzhi sigh, Lu Guan reached out to shake Song Qianzhi's hand, but he avoided it.

Song Qianzhi looked at him sideways, and that look was very complicated.

"You want to be my brother?"

Lu Guan was startled, he seemed embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer.He didn't want to be Song Qianzhi's brother, he just knew that after returning to Beijing, he might die soon.If not so, not so...

The corners of Song Qianzhi's mouth curled up.

"I don't want to be brothers with you." Song Qianzhi looked towards the long street, where it was empty and remote, thousands of households lit up their lights one after another, some houses were dark, maybe there was no one there.After a while, those lit windows went dark one after another.

Song Qianzhi didn't speak, neither did Lu Guan.

"This trip back to Beijing, I thought of many things that I had never thought about before." Song Qianzhi whispered, "I have an aunt who is a queen mother, and a grandfather who is a tutor. Days, I understand the principles in the sage books, but I have never been hungry, and I don’t know what it is to starve to death. In Rongzhou, I know all these. I worked for the emperor for four full years, and now I look back, I really don’t know where I wasted my time.”

Lu Guan: "You are a good person with a conscience."

Song Qianzhi said angrily, "Thank you."

Lu Guan laughed.

Hearing the deep laughter, Song Qianzhi couldn't help but also laughed.

"When a man is born in this world, he has to accomplish something, and he can't spend his life in a daze. I understand a little now, but I still don't quite understand it. But there is one other thing that I understand completely now."

Lu Guan couldn't understand: "???"

Song Qian squeezed Lu Guan's chin with one hand, and turned him around. Lu Guan's eyes were shocked and his face turned red.

Before he could say anything, Song Qianzhi kissed his lips.

Lu Guan's breathing was all messed up, and when he realized it, he stood up abruptly, causing Song Qianzhi to fall back on the steps, bumping the back of his head, and the golden light splashed in front of his eyes.

Song Qianzhi rubbed the back of his head and turned over, just about to get angry when he saw Lu Guan jumping down the steps with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth like a big monkey.

Suddenly Song Qianzhi didn't want to get angry anymore, got up, dusted off his robe, calmly took advantage of Lu Guan not paying attention, strode into the second hall of the government office, and whistled happily.

Lu Guan jumped around for a while, his heart beating drums settled down, and he was about to ask Song Qianzhi to explain.

Turning around, there was only an old and dim-eyed concierge in front of the government office, baking the stove, looking at Lu Guan like a fool.

"What about people?"

Concierge: "No one, Mr. Lu, are you planning to stay here to keep watch with the little one?"

Lu Guan: "...No, you keep it."

☆、The Difficulty of Prosperity (四)

Back in the room, after waiting for Zhou Xian not to reply for a long time, Song Qianzhi simply washed his face and feet, and climbed onto the bed, with Tang Pozi baked in his quilt, crossed his legs and circled the iron lump, and sighed deeply. tone.

After arriving in Rongzhou, he often slept at Lu Guan's place, but the quilt on his bed was very damp. It is estimated that the government office has been too busy these two days, forget it.When the tide falls asleep.

Tang Pozi's heat made Song Qianzhi's injured finger ache. He raised his right hand, stared at that finger for a while, and buried himself under the quilt like a bug to sleep.

Song Qianzhi originally thought that someone would wake him up this night, and he didn't want to sleep until dawn.

A blinding light woke Song Qianzhi from his sleepy sleep. It was high in the sun, and the state government office had never been so quiet, and no one came to disturb him.

Song Qianzhi tidied up, went downstairs to eat, sat down on the front foot, and Lu Guan also came on the back foot.

Zhou Xian followed behind him.

Lu Guan brought over the food, usually the three of them ate separately, or ate in the room, but this time Lu Guan brought the food for two people by himself and pushed it into Song Qianzhi.

Zhou Xian brought the food and wondered: "Hey, Mr. Lu, they are also subordinates. You can't favor one another like this. How can this happen? Also, there are only two chicken legs. You caught them all. What should I eat?"

Lu Guan: "Eat yours, talk a lot of bullshit."

Zhou Xian smiled, and didn't really want to grab food.

Song Qianzhi put a chicken leg into Zhou Xian's bowl, and said to him, "Why didn't you call me last night?"

Zhou Xian complained repeatedly: "Can you let me finish my meal first?"

Song Qianzhi: "???"

He didn't know that when he mentioned this, Zhou Xian's mind was full of cleaning the cell that was full of feces and urine yesterday, and he felt that the stench was so bad that he was not well.

"Forget it, let the young master eat the chicken legs." Zhou Xian had a bitter face, deeply feeling that Song Qianzhi was the one who killed people invisible, and his plan was clever.

After dinner, Song Qianzhi was going to interrogate Yan Licheng, and Lu Guan also said to go.

"It's fine for me and Zhou to go first," Song Qianzhi said.

"I am the chief judge, your superior, and should be present."

Song Qianzhi looked at Lu Guan: "Are you using officials to coerce me?"

Lu Guan was at a loss for words for a while, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, he pulled Song Qianzhi aside, and waved to Zhou Xian to let him go out.

Zhou Xian was puzzled, so he had to go outside the door first.

"Why? Just say what you have to say, don't talk about it." Song Qianzhi patted Lu Guan's hand pulling his sleeve away.

Lu Guan blushed and looked at Song Qianzhi, hesitating.

"Nothing to say, I'm leaving." As soon as he lifted his foot, Lu Guan grabbed his sleeve again.

Song Qianzhi said displeased: "Hand."

"Chasing stars."

Song Qianzhi hummed, looked casually towards the door, and saw a corner of Zhou Xian's black robe.

"Get away!" Lu Guan roared.

"..." Zhou Xian had no choice but to move away the ear that was stuck to the window by the door, walked into the door, and walked away in front of the two of them.

"Master Lu, we still have a lot to do, what do you want to say?"

Seen by Song Qianzhi, Lu Guan became nervous again, and stammered: "...I...still...just want to be your brother."

Song Qianzhi frowned: "I made it very clear last night."

"Actually, I..." Lu Guan twisted his face back and forth.

Song Qianzhi looked at him with his arms around his chest.Say it, you say it.

Lu Guan put his heart to one side, gritted his teeth and said, "It's hurtful to say that, but brother, I really don't like men."

"Oh." Song Qianzhi said, "I don't like men either."

Lu Guan: "..."

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Song Qianzhi asked while lowering his head to straighten his sleeves, a section of red thread was exposed in the cuff, and a white jade pendant hung under the red thread.

Just when Lu Guan wanted to see more clearly, Song Qianzhi pulled down his sleeves to cover them completely.

"Is there anything else to say?" Song Qianzhi asked.

"No more." Lu Guan pretended not to care and asked, "What's in Brother Xian's sleeve?"

Song Qian's face sank: "Who is with you, dear brother, my cousin is the emperor, don't put gold on your face. Master Lu, I will go to interrogate the criminal with Zhou Xian now, if you are so free, go, no Go and find something to do by yourself, stay wherever it is cool, everyone is very busy, don't make jokes and have nothing to say."

Lu Guan was scolded so badly that he was so bored, he didn't go back when he saw Song Qianzhi's head, so he followed depressedly, full of puzzlement: Song Qianzhi wasn't the one who kissed him last night?Who is that?Wait, Song Qianzhi said that he doesn't like men either, so he didn't mean he liked him by kissing him, so why did he kiss him?And the kiss was on the mouth, was that his first kiss? !It's fine if it wasn't the first kiss, how could the first kiss be so ambiguous?

Could it be that Song Qianzhi wanted to scold him for not being a man?

As Lu Guan walked, he thought about going to Zhang Jingju to handle the case with Song Qianzhi in Beijing. Song Qianzhi was very familiar with what tricks he wanted to play, and there were two beautiful young girls in the room as personal servants.

It seems that he really doesn't like men.

Why did he take away his first kiss if he didn't like men? !It is tolerable or unbearable!

Zhou Xian: "Master Lu, it doesn't stink so much, we cleaned it last night, and I don't think it stinks. Master Song, do you think it still stinks?"

"Don't pay attention to him, he has a problem." Song Qianzhi stepped down the steps first and entered the prison.

Yan Licheng was kneeling on the ground with his hands bound backwards. His legs were free. He sat cross-legged with his head hanging down. He didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.

Lu Guan stepped forward and pulled Song Qianzhi back.

"Let me ask." Song Qianzhi said, and walked out from behind Lu Guan. Lu Guan wanted to say more, but Zhou Xian whispered beside him, "Let the young master ask, Master Lu is not clear about some things."

"What's the matter?" Lu Guan asked.

Zhou Xian stood up straight without answering.

"Yan Licheng, I have a few questions. Your junior asked me to ask you." Song Qianzhi said.

In the cage, Yan Licheng slowly raised his head, his whole face was covered with bruises, and the cracks at the corners of his eyes had just healed.

Song Qianzhi almost jumped back in fright.After Yan Licheng was beaten that day, he had never seen Yan Licheng's face. He didn't want to be beaten into a pig's head by Lu Guan. Nose is not nose and eyes are not eyes.

"You let him come in person."

Song Qianzhi squatted on the ground, staring at the trapped animals in the cell.

"He can't come."

Yan Licheng raised his eyes, one eyelid was still swollen, and the other eye was shining fiercely.

"What did you say?"

Song Qianzhi shook a piece of straw picked up on the ground in his hand, and said slowly: "Gao Niande is a criminal who deceived the emperor. He went to Beijing to report before me, and wiped out your relationship with the traitor Fu Mingmao. I felt something was wrong, I arrived in the capital two hours behind him, and he hadn't left yet. I reported the results of my investigation in Rongzhou City to the emperor, and the emperor immediately ordered Gao Niande to be detained, I don't know if he will be killed or not."

Yan Licheng stood up suddenly.

"Be careful." Lu Guan dragged Song Qianzhi back.

However, Yan Licheng was seriously injured. He rushed to the prison door and fell sideways on the ground, gasping for breath, his eyes were bloodshot.

"What did the Dog Emperor do to him?"

Originally, Song Qianzhi just wanted to cheat him, but he didn't expect Yan Licheng's reaction to be so strong, so he continued to talk nonsense: "The emperor planned to divide him into five horses, but Prime Minister Li refused to agree. Just dispose of the wine quietly. Qilinwei has always been loyal to the emperor. During the reign of the emperor, first you betrayed, and Gao Niande concealed all the things you did for Fu Mingmao in Heilangzhai in order to protect you. ...Before I left, they hadn't discussed whether to cut off all your sects, but I heard that several Qilin guards in Beijing will strictly investigate whether they have any links with the rebellious party."

Yan Licheng couldn't help panting, and finally sat up, his face pressed against the prison door, and he glared at Song Qianzhi angrily like an enemy.

Song Qianzhi said indifferently: "What's the use of staring at me? Master Lu just asked him to go to Beijing to deliver a letter, who let him make his own decisions."

Yan Licheng's heavy breathing could only be heard in the entire dungeon.

Lu took a look at Zhou Xian, and Zhou Xian's expression was extremely ugly.

"I was the one who colluded with the rebellious party! I was the one who turned the grass into a bandit, and it was me who betrayed Qilinwei. What has it to do with my junior brother?"

"You can tell the emperor about this. But you won't have a chance to see the emperor either." Song Qianzhi clapped his hands, "Gao Niande is doomed. You two will be companions in Huangquan, so you won't be alone."

Yan Licheng's face twitched, his voice was hoarse, he looked at Song Qianzhi with red eyes, and suddenly said, "Why are you willing to save him?"

Song Qianzhi laughed: "Why did I save him? Yan Licheng, you forgot how I broke this finger?" Song Qianzhi raised his right hand and shook it, "Ten fingers connected to the heart, the pain of the heart, I have to ask for it." Some price."

At this time, the entire prison fell silent.

Yan Licheng didn't speak, his tiger eyes were wide open, and his sitting body suddenly shook.

"Not good." Zhou Xian was the first to react, and quickly asked someone to open the cell door.

Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan didn't know what happened, they only saw Yan Licheng shaking like a sieve, his scarred face twisted to the extreme, he let out a long breath.

"It's just a broken finger, it won't hurt your life. My lord, I, Yan Licheng, point to finger, please intercede for my younger brother." Yan Licheng turned around unsteadily, his hands tied behind him were eaten by one hand The two fingers were obviously broken, the knuckles were swollen, and they were hanging in an unusual posture. Both hands were trembling uncontrollably.

The coolness penetrated into Song Qianzhi's skull from under Song Qianzhi's feet.He thought to himself that Yan Licheng's ability to be the captain of the Qilin Guard is probably due to his ruthless heart towards himself and even more ruthless towards the enemy.At the same time, Song Qianzhi reminded himself that Yan Licheng cannot be inferred from ordinary people.

Song Qianzhi made an indifferent attitude: "Then we can talk about conditions."

Yan Licheng turned around.

"My junior brother, ask your lord to ask me what?" Yan Licheng's face was covered with sweat, probably due to the pain from the severed finger.

"He didn't ask me to ask you any questions. Before I left Beijing, I only met him once. It was very hasty. He begged me not to tell you what happened to him in Beijing."

Yan Licheng was sitting cross-legged, but now he was kneeling instead of sitting. He hit his head heavily on the ground, and the jailer who had just got off was so frightened that he almost jumped up with a bang.

"My... my lord..." the jailer said, "Is the door still open?"

Zhou Xian shook his hand and waved outward, signaling him to go out.

"Thank you, sir, for informing me of this matter. If you have anything else to say, please ask, sir."

Song Qianzhi sat cross-legged outside the prison door and raised his hand.

"Sit down, this is a matter between the emperor's two brothers, why do you have to drag yourself into it?"

Yan Licheng changed the posture of sitting cross-legged, didn't make a sound, and was silent for a while, Yan Licheng raised his head and glanced behind Song Qianzhi, and said: "Let the two of them go out."

Lu Guan was furious immediately: "It's not for you to negotiate terms!"

Song Qianzhi looked sideways at the two people beside him: "Go out first."

Zhou Xian dragged Lu Guan, who was very reluctant, and the two of them fought secretly, before Lu Guan followed him out.

Yan Licheng looked at Song Qianzhi carefully, and suddenly laughed: "That night, I didn't recognize you, you look a lot like a person."

Since he was a child, some people said that Song Qianzhi looked like his grandfather Zhou Taifu, but he had never seen his grandfather when he was young, so he didn't know. He only knew that the corners of his mouth and nose were exactly the same as those of the Queen Mother, and his eyes were very similar to his mother.

"Let's talk." Song Qianzhi said.

Yan Licheng was quiet for a while before opening his mouth: "Six years ago, I was expelled from the Qilin Guard on suspicion of treason. In fact, it was a round. Someone harmed me. If I don't run away, I can only wait for death with my arms tied. To die like this is to escape from the capital."

Song Qianzhi thought that he would hear some different stories, but he didn't expect that Yan Licheng's mouth would be such a shocking secret.The Qilin Guards are the emperor's personal guards, and they are the closest and most loyal team to the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that they directly control the life and death of the emperor, so what the Qilin Guards value most is loyalty.

"Sure enough, it's treason." In Song Qianzhi's impression, there was a major treason case that shocked the palace, also six years ago.And he thought of this because of Lu Hun.

On the first day Imperial Physician He arrived in Rongzhou, he mentioned Lu Hun to him, a highly skilled imperial physician who had detoxified the Empress Dowager.Song Qianzhi was deeply impressed by the poisoning of the queen mother, because the day Zhou Wanxin took him to the palace to visit the sick was his 13th birthday.

The outcome of this case was not detailed in Lintai either.

It's just that all the families involved in the palace know that someone poisoned the Queen Mother and wanted her to die.

Coincidentally, something else happened in the palace at that time, and this incident caused Yan Licheng to be expelled from the Qilin Guard. If he hadn't run fast, he should have been executed.

"Did someone assassinate the emperor?"

Yan Licheng: "Exactly. It was Qilin Guard who assassinated the emperor. To be precise, it was the captain of the guard at that time, 'I'."

"Then it's not you." Song Qianzhi thought for a while and said, "Someone pretended to be you to assassinate the emperor. That person should be about the same size as you. No one can prove that you were not in the palace that night."

"How do you know?" Yan Licheng's eyes flickered fiercely, and he laughed at himself, "That year you still
