Lintai Storm Record

As long as he can find out the truth, this case must be a major case involving people's livelihood, and when Lu Guan makes a contribution, the Queen Mother will have nothing to say.

In an instant, Lu Guan had countless thoughts in his mind.The first thing that came to mind was Xu Zhou, the eunuch with dodgy eyes and gloomy expression.

Lu Guan's mind settled down, Fu Mingshao's temples in front of him were still wet, the weather was very cold, so it was not because he was sweating, he had just washed and washed before he came to see him.The hair style, clothing, and the casual, lazy and undefended form are all arranged.

"It's related to Li Xiang."

A gleam of joy flashed across Fu Mingshao's eyes, but there was no surprise.

"Have you found the love letter?" Fu Mingshao asked.

"not yet."

Fu Mingshao's face darkened: "We must find it. This is an important evidence. Lou Jiangyue spoke out for the people that such a person died quietly, and it will chill the hearts of those who care about the common people."

Lu Guan went on to say: "Through Wang Zaoguo, we found out that Li Xiang has a hidden courtyard. The afternoon before Lou Jiangyue was killed, he made an appointment to meet Li Xiang in the courtyard."

"Lou Jiangyue knows Li Xiang?" Fu Mingshao showed surprise on his face, and frowned, "Li Xiang has never mentioned it, and this is the first time I have heard of it. There are still many on the list of congratulatory speeches this year." A writer with outstanding talent chose Lou Jiangyue because he came from the common people and has nothing to do with the courtiers."

Fu Mingshao sighed, his shoulders hunched slightly, looking a little disappointed.

"I want to hear the truth."

Lu Guan's mind had already drifted elsewhere.The prince who was sent out of the capital, Fu Mingshao was never favored, and his mother's family was not prominent, so he would be an idle prince in Quzhou in the future without accident.Even if there were any changes, it would not be the turn of this humble prince.Fu Mingshao's opportunity came so suddenly, like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, everyone was dumbfounded, including Fu Mingshao's teacher.

Lu Guan was different, he was happy for Fu Mingshao from the bottom of his heart.The two studied together. Fu Mingshao is a prince who has a benevolent heart and has seen the hardships of the people. Apart from being a little weaker, it is also because he was not loved by the late emperor since he was a child. The mother and concubine left early, and the young boy stumbled Growing up, the hardships he has suffered will always leave a mark on his character.

Therefore, when Fu Mingshao flashingly mentioned that one of the conditions proposed by Empress Zhou was to let Lu Guan stay in Quzhou as a sinner, Lu Guan did not have any reconciliation.During those six months, Lu Guan really offered advice to Fu Mingshao, removing obstacles for him and wooing the aristocratic family. He did it too ostentatiously, and this end was something he had thought about for a long time.

That year Lu Guan was eighteen and Fu Mingshao was sixteen.

That morning when he woke up to the sound of chirping birds, Lu Guan pulled the quilt over and turned over.

"Brother won't see you off, take care all the way."

It wasn't until he heard the sound of the door closing that Lu Guan sat up from the couch and slept in his clothes last night. The two teenagers talked about state affairs and ambitions until five o'clock before closing their eyes a little.Such an all-night long talk was not the first time, but Lu Guan knew it would be the last time. He lay on the window, the fresh tattoo marks on his cheeks hurting from the wooden frame, he frowned slightly, put his hands on the window, and was about to send out Suddenly, the whole person shrank into the quilt.

Fu Mingshao stood in the yard for a while, then left.

"Shunqin?"

Lu Guan came back to his senses, and said calmly: "Even though Lou Jiangyue went to Li Xiang's other courtyard, he was not there, and Lou Jiangyue was directly killed in Yingchun Garden, neither the murder weapon nor the murderer was found. It is difficult to convict Li Xiang with a weak connection."

Fu Mingshao closed his eyes annoyed.

"Didn't Lou Jiangyue go to meet Li Yeyuan that afternoon? Someone went to kill Lou Jiangyue when he came back. Could it be that Li Xiang knew about the love letter and was afraid that Lou Jiangyue would intervene with him in the love letter..."

Lu Guan reminded: "Lou Jiangyue is not an official, so he is not qualified to participate in Prime Minister Li's book."

"Can you find the letter of love? Perhaps, have you looked for Li Xiang's other courtyard?" Fu Mingshao thought about it.

"It can only be found in secret."

Fu Mingshao gave instructions: "Let Zhou go find it first, and find a way to get Song Qianzhi to go with him."

This is to bring Song Qianzhi into it and leave Lu Guan alone.Lu Guan seemed to have something to say.

But Fu Mingshao was thinking about something on his mind, he didn't pay attention, and asked Lu Guan if he had anything else to report.

"If this case involves the palace, will it be investigated?"

Fu Mingshao said: "Check. The Secretary's Ministry is not the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and it is not in court. Only the presiding judge and jury know the inside story of the case. I put you in this position to be my eyes. Now you also have special approval. What's the matter?" You can go to the palace to report the news at any time. You don’t have to worry about Zhou Xian, you can entrust him to do anything, he is absolutely reliable. But if the Queen Mother is involved, you have to hide it from Song Qianzhi.”

Lu Guan frowned.

"I want to use Song Qianzhi. He is very good at handling things and has made a lot of contributions to me. It's just that he is the blood of the Zhou family." Fu Mingshao was still a little apprehensive, and sighed, "Teacher Zhou has passed away for many years. I still often think of his earnest teachings, the lesson of being diligent in government and loving the people, I never dare to forget. It’s just that I’m just a tiger without teeth and claws, and I can’t let go.” He looked at Lu Guan with complicated eyes, and held him again hands.

Fu Mingshao's hands were warm and clean, without any sweat on the palms.

"Brother Shunqin, do you blame me?"

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

Fu Mingshao said helplessly: "It was also forced by the authority of the Queen Mother back then, I really couldn't..."

Lu Guan immediately interrupted him, with a look of panic on his face: "Your Majesty speaks seriously, and I am willing to do so. As long as Your Majesty cares about the people and does not forget what you learned and wished in Deyi Hall, I will be willing to be a sharp sword in your Majesty's hand, and to wear it with your heart." I will not hesitate to spoil my stomach."

"That's not necessary." Fu Mingshao showed a sincere smile, patted the back of Lu Guan's hand, and asked him, "Is Quzhou okay before you leave?"

"This is the second thing I did when I entered the palace at night to ask to see the emperor."

Lu Guan will listen to what Xu San said about the people's feelings in Wuyi Lane. He only said that when he came to Beijing, what he saw along the way is that the people are indeed in dire straits, and the disasters in many places are serious.The epidemic situation in Rongzhou and several nearby towns is urgent, and Fu Mingshao is requested to send a doctor with excellent medical skills to control the epidemic situation there.

"Is there such a thing?" Fu Mingshao was furious immediately, "The magistrate of Rongzhou didn't report this matter, and I don't know anything about the plague. After the court tomorrow morning, I will leave the Secretary of the Household Department and Li Xiangyi to ask about this matter. These officials who are eating vegetarian meals are extremely hateful!"

With a "bang", the tea bowl was swept to the ground by Fu Mingshao's flick of his sleeve. He breathed heavily, stood up, paced back and forth, called the eunuch loudly, and changed his mind to ask Sun Xiu to invite Prime Minister Li immediately, and enter the palace now.

After leaving the palace, Lu Guan rushed to Li Xiang's mansion non-stop, and waited outside the door for almost half an hour, but the palace still announced that Li Xiang would enter the palace, and instead waited for Song Qianzhi who came out of Li Yeyuan's house to visit.

Song Qianzhi saw Lu Guan from a distance, looked left and right, walked up to him, smiled and asked Lu Guan who was standing leaning at the entrance of a dark alley holding a horse rope: "Didn't Master Lu come to pick me up?"

"No, you go back first when you're done, I still have something to do."

Lu Guan's face was livid, and he was in a bad mood at first glance.

"Has the emperor scolded you?" Song Qianzhi stood beside him, hiding his body in the shadow, and also looked at the door of Li Xiangfu.

The night was as cool as water, with no stars and no moon, except for the faint white light cast by the two lamps on the gate of Xiangfu's mansion.

Lu Guan didn't answer, but stood quietly.

Song Qianzhi waited beside Lu Guan, Lu Guan gave him a strange look and asked, "Master Song is waiting for me, isn't he?"

Song Qianzhi smiled and said: "No, I don't want to go back now, just stand here for a while, you wait for yours, I will stand for mine."

baffling.Lu Guan thought, so he ignored him and stared at Li Xiang's door closely.

Tonight, Lu Guanjin wanted to ask bluntly if all this was a trick set up by Fu Mingshao, and he wanted to use this murder case to get Li Xiang from his high position. If his guess is true, then Fu Mingshao is the use him.Lu Guan didn't mind being used by him. Many years ago, Lu Guan already knew that there were only camp positions in the political struggle, and there was no right or wrong, but Fu Mingshao could tell him frankly, just like when he was in Quzhou.

As time went by, the petty movements of the pampered young master rubbing his hands and stomping his feet in front of him became more and more difficult to ignore.

"What are you doing here?" Lu Guan couldn't help asking.

"Stand for a while."

Lu Guan got on his horse, and Song Qianzhi immediately stopped in front of the horse.

Lu Guan: "..."

"I'll buy you a drink, how about going to Zhang Jingju?"

"Don't go."

"Isn't Zhang Jingju okay? Yichunyuan, Zhugulou are both fine." Song Qianzhi stood beside the horse, holding Lu Guan's rein with his hand, with an expression of "I'm a rascal, what can you do to me?" .

Lu Guan was completely defeated by his acting style, and he grabbed him with a headache and pulled him onto the horse.There was one more person behind him, Song Qianzhi put his arm around his waist, Lu Guan's whole body became stiff.

"Let's go, Mr. Lu, do you know the way? Turn around first, go to the end of this road, and then go east..."

Lu Guan was almost dragged into Zhang Jingju by Song Qianzhi. Song Qianzhi ordered a pipa girl to play outside, and the girl came to play twice, but he didn't like it.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Guan wanted to go back.

"Report to Master Lu." Song Qianzhi lowered his voice and moved closer.

His face and lips were rosy after drinking, Lu Guan looked away absently, and heard Song Qianzhi whisper: "Li Xiang was not caught by the Ministry of War that day, but he suddenly decided not to go. See Lou Jiangyue. He is really lucky. How to pull Li Xiang off the horse now is difficult. He just needs to say that he doesn't know, and he can get rid of everything. The emperor's situation this time is too bad. , You said, how to wipe his ass, I have no idea."

Lu Guan took a sip of wine and spat it out.

"..." Song Qianzhi flashed fast, his robe was still stained, he frowned, thinking to forget it, he didn't care about it with Lu Guan.

Lu Guan looked angry and funny.

"Is that what you're telling me about this?"

Song Qianzhi said innocently: "Then what should I tell you? Burn incense and bathe, and fast for three days?"

"This is Zhang Jingju, people come and go..." With a sullen face, Lu Guan grabbed Song Qianzhi by the collar and pulled him closer. Song Qianzhi pouted, he had already drank almost a pot of wine , There seems to be mist in the eyes.

Lu Guan suddenly went blank.

"I speak so softly, who can hear me?" Song Qianzhi couldn't help but groaned, sat back and shouted loudly.

Behind the screen, Pipa Niang's voice replied: "I can hear you, but I didn't hear the two muttering earlier."

Lu Guan: "..."

Song Qianzhi raised his eyebrows triumphantly: Look.

After finishing the two jugs of wine, Lu Guan felt that it was not enough, he didn't say much, and drank one cup after another.

Song Qianzhi sang a few lines while listening to the pipa. His voice was clear, and his singing was different from the lingering affection of a woman. It had a special flavor, which relieved the depression in Lu Guan's heart.

Fu Mingshao obviously didn't summon Li Xiang tonight, and asked the eunuch to invite Li Xiang into the palace, including the fury of that slap, it was just a show.Lu Guan was irritable and dazed. All his beliefs in going to Beijing were based on his enthusiasm back then, thinking that when the time came, he would serve the court and do something for the people of Great Chu.

Fu Mingshao was the emperor who took the sufferings of the people into his heart, but he needed a court that was loyal to him, otherwise he would never be able to let Fu Mingshao realize his ambitions if he kept a group of moths who deceived the top and the bottom.He is willing to be the sword in Fu Mingshao's hands, even if the historians in the future will not write good things about him, they will only write him as a villain who plays tricks and schemes.

But just tonight, Lu Guan suddenly realized that Fu Mingshao might not be the only prince in Quzhou who had the desire to love the people.

In the lingering pipa music, Song Qianzhi asked with a smile: "Master Lu, why aren't you married yet? I know quite a few ladies from famous families, and I will introduce two to Master Lu some other day."

Lu Guan looked at Song Qianzhi silently.

"I want to marry myself." Lu Guan said angrily.

"I don't want to get married." Song Qianzhi turned his head away, looking at him in profile, very melancholy.

Don't bother with him.Lu Guan thought.

"why?"

Hearing Lu Guan's question, Song Qianzhi blinked innocently, looking at the four-fold beauty screen, as if he could see through the national colors on the painting, he was looking at the pipa girl with slender jade fingers behind the screen.He picked up the cup, took a sip, and said: "Sensation is fleeting, married a wife, but can't pamper her well, isn't it a crime?"

Lu Guan frowned, thinking of the house next to Li Xiang's other courtyard.

"There are a lot of couples in the world who have the same eyebrows. What you said is too general."

"No, I have a bad temper, and I need to take care of others..." Song Qianzhi smiled and shook his head, "It must be a mess."

"Don't you often go to those romantic places?"

"Beauties are always pleasing to the eye. Let's just say that at this moment, it's freezing outside, and people shy away from the cold. Let's hide here, drink a little wine and listen to a little song. We don't have to think about anything. What are we doing? It's very comfortable to stay But if you marry and go home, don’t you bother to talk about it all day long? You have to have children to continue the incense, and you have to raise them after you give birth, right? Little things are always disobedient, and if you don’t pay attention, you will become a debt collector. Not looking for trouble?"

"Let's go." Lu Guan got up and grabbed Song Qianzhi's arm, and whispered in his ear, "I know you're not drunk, get up, and I'll take you back."

Although Song Qianzhi was not drunk, he sat cross-legged for too long, but his feet were soft, and he slid down a bit. He hurriedly hugged Lu Guan's waist, and inadvertently pulled down Lu Guan's pants. Suddenly, the wind blew XX to enjoy the cool air .

Lu Guan blushed: "........."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Song Qianzhi quickly apologized, and stopped pretending to be crazy, stood up to lift up Lu Guan's pants, but was slapped away by Lu Guan, causing him to scream in pain, and Lu Guan's strike was too heavy.

Zhang Jing lived outside, Lu Guan asked Song Qian to get on the horse, and he had returned to the way that strangers should not come close. Song Qianzhi held the rein of the horse, and the horse rubbed against him. Song Qianzhi said happily: "You horse likes me."

"It's the same for individuals."

"Where does Master Lu live?"

"Live in the city."

Seeing that Lu Guan didn't want to talk about it, Song Qianzhi didn't bother him anymore, but asked Lu Guan not to ride the horse first, but to talk to him while walking.

"Li Xiang coughed badly tonight. I said I would ask Imperial Physician He to visit him in two days. People in their sixties saw him today and felt that their hair was much grayer than last time. They chatted with me for a while. Opera, it sounds like a rush to retreat bravely. If Mr. Lu can speak in front of the emperor, why don't you say a few words for Li Xiang."

"People's life is so hard, as the chief assistant, it's his duty to worry about it." Lu Guan said coldly.

"The people's life is so hard, as the emperor, it is his duty to worry about it." Song Qianzhi's mouth curled up.

Looking at it at that moment, Lu Guan thought about it, knowing what he was waiting outside Li Xiang's gate tonight, Song Qianzhi had already guessed it, so he said this.Perhaps, Song Qianzhi had already guessed why Fu Mingshao called him back to investigate the two cases involving the palace, these few sentences were undoubtedly speaking for Li Yeyuan.

And Song Qianzhi would speak for Li Yeyuan in front of Lu Guan, and said this almost guilty sentence, that is, he even guessed what Lu Guan did.

"Tell me, where do you live? Take me to see it." Song Qianzhi pretended to be indifferent, and his appearance was very deceptive. Lu Guan almost took him to visit his shabby room.

"Go home early and rest, isn't your mother still sick? I will prepare a table of bouillon at home for the Lantern Festival, and treat you to wine." After speaking, Lu Guan got on the horse and disappeared into the crowd without seeing Song Qianzhi off.

"Master Lu, you are breaking your word. Didn't you mean to send me off?!"

Song Qianzhi let out a long breath, put his hands in his sleeves, and the smile faded from his face.

Lu Guan even knew about his mother's illness, his feeling was right, Fu Mingshao was going to deal with the Zhou family.But Lu Guan didn't need to take it to heart, his temper was too straight, and his heart was soft, Fu Mingshao put such a person in the position of the secretary, who suffered thousands of knives, he would not be able to employ people.

Song Qianzhi thought to himself, I don't know if his mother has taken the medicine tonight. In such a cold day, I will ask someone to go to the chamber of commerce tomorrow to buy some high-quality leather materials for his mother to make two new ones.

The wind at night was so cold that it pierced his bones, Song Qianzhi was tired all day, relaxed, and his mind was blank.

Seeing from afar that the gate of the Hou's Mansion was open, many carriages and horses were parked outside the gate, and someone who had just got out of the carriage was Song Qianzhi's third uncle, who had little contact with each other on weekdays, and it would take four or five days to come to the capital by car. People were unloading their luggage from the car. It seemed that there were still a lot of new year's goods, and there was even a whole suckling pig that was marinated yellow.

This posture is a bit like coming to his house to celebrate the New Year. Isn't the capital not allowing people to come in and out at will?

The author has something to say: Mommy, it’s too cold, be careful to keep warm, it’s going to be frozen. .

==================

change a place

☆. The Difficulty of Rongzhou ([-])

"Qianzhi, are you back?"

"Third Uncle." Song Qianzhi walked over with a smile.

The third uncle of the Song family patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said carelessly: "Your father sent us a letter asking us to celebrate the New Year. Fortunately, we have your seal, otherwise it would be too difficult to enter the city. It is better to be a pious and promising official than your father." powerful."

A young man stepped out from behind him and saluted Song Qianzhi.

Song Qianzhi couldn't recognize who it was.

"Hello, my lord." The man was very handsome, and his smile made people feel kind.

"Brother Cheng Yang, don't come here without any harm." Song Qianzhi generously went up to greet Song Chengyang. Among all the relatives of the Song family, he was the only cousin who was a little closer to him.

I saw that Song Chengyang was more than eight feet tall, with black hair like ink, thick black willow eyebrows, moist nose and lips, quite the demeanor of a modest gentleman.

The third uncle of the Song family touched his belly, put one hand on Song Qianzhi's shoulder, and pushed him inside.

The light was on in the bedroom, Song Qianzhi stood in the yard for a while before he went to see his mother, Zhou Wanxin took medicine early and fell asleep, but she didn't look very well.

Song Qian put his hand on the center of his eyebrows and spread them out, walked into the room, saw Baiyue kneeling on the couch hanging the sachet, took off the old one he used, and hung up a new one.

Zhan Xing was putting away the clothes on the smoker cage.

The two girls didn't even get up, and after asking Song Qian, they went about their business.

Song Qianzhi walked over, sat down on the chair behind the table, folded his hands in front of him, and lowered his head.

A moment later, there was a loud noise in the room.

Zhan Xing said "Hey", hurriedly put away the clothes scattered on the couch, pulled open the bead curtain and walked out, seeing the mess on the ground, Song Qianzhi pushed all the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table to the ground, with one hand slightly He propped his forehead tremblingly.

Before he could ask aloud, he saw Song Qianzhi get up again, and hurriedly pulled out the small drawers on the grid behind him, rummaged through them one by one, finally took out a small wooden box, opened it, and inside was a seal.

Bai Yue also came over, met Zhan Xing's eyes, walked towards the door, dismissed all the servants in the yard, fetched a basin of water and came back to wipe the floor.

"Don't wipe it, call someone to do it tomorrow, carefully dirty your hands." Song Qianzhi's tone was indescribably tired.

"It's almost time to clean up before telling people not to clean it." Zhan Xing complained.

Song Qianzhi pressed his index finger to the center of his eyebrows, sighed heavily, and smiled helplessly at the corner of his mouth. He looked up at Zhan Xing, who was holding the inkstone with both hands, carefully checking whether it was broken, with a look of pain on his face.

"Is it broken?" After the anger passed, Song Qianzhi found out the private seal, and suddenly realized that this Fang Yan was a relic of his grandfather, a priceless treasure, and there was nowhere to buy it with money, and he regretted it immediately.

"No, it's fine." Zhan Xing said with a smile, "What's the matter with the young master, who doesn't have long eyes makes the young master unhappy, I'll teach the young master a lesson, is it the newly appointed Lord Lu?"

"You know?" Song Qianzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's okay, do you have a ready-made purse, give me one, and put it in my private seal." In particular, no one who is an official is afraid of the secretary. He never thought that his father asked him to write invitations to his uncles to let them go to Beijing. It is impossible for him to do this now, without the time.Now that the third uncle came to the city, what he took was a document with his private seal, and the place where the third uncle of the Song family lived was at least five or six days. That is to say, his father had already used it before discussing it with him. and gave his seal to inform others.

In front of Song Qianzhi, he pretended to stick green onions in his nostrils.

This reminded Song Qianzhi that the seal cannot be kept at home, and the Marquis of An Ding wants to get it, so who can prevent him from taking it.

It's also funny, in my own home, I have to guard against my own father more than guard against thieves.

Song Qianzhi felt much better when the fire came out. The newly replaced sachet in the tent did have the effect of calming the mind. It was probably because he had worked hard for several days and was mentally exhausted. Song Qianzhi fell asleep when he went to bed. He slept dreamlessly all night. By the morning of the next day.

After dinner, Song Qianzhi went to the courtyard where his father lived, and they all said he was not there. Song Qianzhi asked the maid to ask, and only then did he learn that he had gone out after drinking with his third uncle last night.

Song Qianzhi's face darkened, and he left home to go to the Secretary's Department without saying a word.

In the secretary's province, Zhou Xian packed up all his bags and sat there drinking tea with Lu Guan. When he saw Song Qianzhi, he immediately stood up.

"What are you doing? Have you both resigned?"

Lu Guan: "..."

Zhou Xian laughed: "That can't be done, I am willing, Master Lu is not willing to part with it. Master Song, pack up quickly, and set off for Rongzhou now."

Song Qianzhi opened his mouth slightly, inexplicably: "It's been a few days! Investigating the case! What are you two thinking?!" Especially Lu Guan, who wants to lose his head.

Lu Guan looked at him calmly, and wiped his hands after eating snacks.

"Lou Jiangyue and Qin Mingxue are both from Rongzhou. The emperor is going to send the imperial physician to Rongzhou, and they happened to go all the way. When I went to Rongzhou to inquire about the relationship between Qin Mingxue and Lou Jiangyue, it would be clear. It is worth the trip. .”

Song Qianzhi frowned.It would be fine if he was alone, but he couldn't let go of his mother.

"Start early, ride a fast horse, and go back and forth for five days." Lu Guandao, "The emperor issued an order to the prefect of Rongzhou to open warehouses and release grain. Before the Chinese New Year, the people of Rongzhou can eat, at least in peace. through this winter."

Hearing this, Song Qianzhi no longer hesitated, went to the back hall where he used to take a nap to pack some clothes, picked someone from the Secretary Department to report to his home, picked a horse with Zhou Xian, Lu Guanqi With his own horse, the three of them immediately set out on the road.

Since the case of Lou Jiangyue, the capital has been strictly guarded, people are allowed to leave and not allowed to enter, the checks on leaving the city are not strict, and Song Qianzhi walks sideways in the capital all day long, the captain checked the documents briefly and let him go out .

The road was cold and slippery, and it began to snow after noon. Song Qianzhi was wrapped in a black cloak, and Lu Guan and Zhou Xian followed behind him, one left and one right.

Lu Guan's eyes reflected the cloak thrown up by the snow wind in front of him, and the cloak fluttered wildly, as if it would disappear without a trace in the whiteness of the world.

The three of them galloped from morning to night, and it was night at the post station a hundred and twenty miles away from Beijing. The horses in the post station were not as good as the horses in the Secretary's Department. Song Qianzhi asked the horses to be fed, and sent the people in the post station to run errands Go into town and get something to eat.

Yicheng personally came to ask the adults in the secretary province what else they need.

Seeing that Song Qianzhi was not in good spirits, he sneezed wildly. Lu Guan asked Yi Cheng to invite a doctor and get some old ginger.When the doctor came, he learned that it was Song Qianzhi who caught the cold.

Lu Guan squatted under the verandah and fanned a small pot of ginger soup. When he brought it in, he saw Song Qianzhi sitting on the couch wrapped in two quilts like an old hen. sneeze.

Lu Guan couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth.

Song Qianzhi glared at him while drinking the soup, and drank a sip of the sweet and spicy old ginger soup, the warmth released from the stomach, soaked the limbs and bones, and sweated all over.

"Haven't you bought dinner yet?" Song Qianzhi asked gruffly, his nose wrinkled, not very happy, "I'm not confinement, why do you put so much brown sugar?"

"Yi Cheng flattered you, he forced it."

The two fell silent.Song Qianzhi was thinking, in such a world of ice and snow, ginger is naturally a good thing, brown sugar is even more precious, and if used well, it can save lives. He just left the capital not far away, and many people died of starvation and freezing on the road.I still don't know what Rongzhou looks like.

"The three of us are on our way. When will the imperial doctor arrive?" Song Qianzhi was so burned that his brain seemed to be stuffed with a large ball of cotton, and he forced his hot eyelids, and the eyeballs in the corners of his red eyes were moist and bright like water. Looking at Lu Guan.

Lu Guan took a quick breath and reached out to touch Song Qianzhi's head.

Song Qianzhi flinched back a bit, then stopped and let him touch it.

"It will take three days anyway, someone will escort him."

Only then did Song Qianzhi realize that he had been fooled. How could he return in five days? He had to wait for someone and deal with the government of Rongzhou. up.

At least it will take ten days to go back and forth.

"you……"

"Come back from dinner later, go to bed after eating, get up early tomorrow and hurry, don't let the disaster victims wait for you."

Song Qianzhi almost dropped the bowl and quit, and now he can go home in just one day after returning to Beijing, but he heard Lu Guan say: "There is nothing to investigate about Lou Jiangyue's case. Put these two murders on Li Xiang's head."

Song Qianzhi was startled, but he didn't know why Lu Guan told him this.

"But he can't get involved with Li Xiang. The evidence of the petition is too weak, even if Zhou finds it first, it is useless. Wang Zaoguo is the witness, and the testimony is inconsistent and there are many omissions. Most of the investigations in the palace will reveal poisonous evidence. The poison of dead Lin Shutong|The medicine came from a certain concubine in the palace. The rewards Qin Mingxue received were all gifts from the emperor. She belongs to the emperor. I read the books on Lin Shutong’s shelf, and checked them one by one last night. Use those books to make different symbols to convey information for Li Xiang. Qin Yuning is too eye-catching, although he did not directly state that Lin Shutong traveled to see Li Xiang, seeing Qin Yuning in the eyes of the emperor is meeting Li Xiang. Therefore, all the old officials when the crown prince was here were very wary, and he didn’t believe anyone, so I was stumped.”

The more Song Qianzhi listened, the more frightened he became. Although he knew all of this, Lu Guan never revealed what was in his heart. He didn't know that Lu Guan could see clearly in his heart.

"What... are you talking about?" Song Qianzhi asked in cold sweat, his back was completely wet with sweat.Suppressing his shock, Song Qianzhi asked, "So you regret going to Beijing?"

Lu Guan smiled.

From the first meeting, Song Qianzhi had never seen Lu Guan smile sincerely.

At this moment, Lu Guan laughed, and the scars on his face softened, and there was a trace of warmth in the resolute and hard outline.

Song Qianzhi frowned slightly.

"I don't regret it." There seemed to be something in Lu Guan's eyes, and then he said absent-mindedly, "Anyway, I'm going to die, I want to do this for the people of Rongzhou, and I have to drag Mr. Song into the water."

Lu Guan stopped his voice, and the sound of snow rang intermittently on the roof.

He watched Song Qianzhi quietly, "I'm sorry."

Just as Song Qianzhi was about to speak, there were footsteps outside, and Zhou Xian's voice sounded outside the door: "Where is the meal served? Or is it served below? Master Song eat together or in the room?"

After the meal, Song Qianzhi was groggy, and Ma Liu climbed into bed to sleep.

In the courtyard, Zhou Xian was boxing. After finishing the work, he took off his martial arts robe. He was bare-chested and muscular. He poured nearly freezing water from the courtyard down his shoulders.

Mottled tree shadows fell on Zhou Xian's shoulders, a black unicorn was pierced on his muscular upper arm, and the eyes of the ancient divine beast opened angrily, but what was revealed was not vicious, but solemn and solemn.

Zhou first wiped his muscles with a dry cloth, put on his martial robe again, and went back to his room.Seeing that the lights in Song Qianzhi's room were on, Lu Guan didn't come out after entering, presumably he was going to take care of the delicate and weak young master all night.

The snow fell silently, and the sky was just getting dark. Lu Guan turned over and sat up, picked up Song Qianzhi from the quilt, and dressed him. He had never helped others to dress, and his movements were very slow, the slower the more urgent, several times. Song Qianzhi buttoned the wrong button, crooked, horrible.

It wasn't until breakfast time that Song Qianzhi woke up.

There is nothing delicious in the post house, coarse grain porridge and steamed corn bread.Song Qianzhi had never eaten Wotou before, so he almost choked. A little sugar was put in the rice porridge, which boiled very clearly, and he could barely send the Wotou down.

Song Qianzhi didn't know that this grain was enough to feed five or six people in the post house for two or three days.

This day the horse slowed down, and Song Qianzhi didn't charge forward like the day before. He had a headache and could barely ride on the horse.In the evening, I had only driven fifty miles, so I had to rest.

After drinking ginger soup in the evening, Song Qianzhi was sweating all over, and his energy was a little better. He vaguely remembered that it was Lu Guan who took care of him last night, so he passed the bowl over and said to Lu Guan: "Thank you, brother Lu, for taking care of me today. You'd better go back to your room to sleep tonight, lest I make you sleep badly."

Lu Guan ignored him, took out the bowl, brought in food, and ate with Song Qian.

After tidying up, Lu Guan came to Song Qianzhi's room as before, and slept with him on the same couch.

Last night, Song Qianzhi was so ill that he fell asleep when he went to bed, but tonight he was hearing and seeing clearly, and he could even hear the sound of snow rustling outside the window clearly, as if snowflakes were falling on his forehead, one piece after another. .

Lu Guan went to bed and went to sleep. At this time, he was breathing steadily, lying flat and motionless.

Song Qianzhi has never slept in the same bed with anyone, and he only listens to music and drinks when visiting brothels, and never stays overnight.At this moment, I felt unspeakably awkward and embarrassed, turned my head sideways, but the window paper was very thin, allowing the faint light from the verandah to shine in and cast it on Lu Guan's face.

Everything is hazy.

Lu Guan's side face is extremely handsome, the sinner's scar is not on this side, his whole face is full of masculinity, with one hand resting on his abdomen.Song Qianzhi gesticulated and looked up, Lu Guan's hands were much bigger than his.

Lu Guan wrinkled his nose slightly.

Song Qianzhi immediately lay down, closed his eyes tightly, a layer of sweat broke out from his neck, and opened one eye to see when he didn't hear any sound, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Guan was still in a deep sleep.

Song Qianzhi stared at the eaves.

The post house was terribly cold, his knees were so cold that he couldn't feel it, and he rubbed his feet against each other under the quilt to try to keep warm, but it was useless.

Song Qianzhi woke up once in the middle of the night. It was still dark and he was not cold. He suddenly found that at some point Lu Guan's quilt had covered him. The two of them were covered with two quilts, and the quilts were stacked together , and he held Lu Guan's waist with both hands, and his chin was still in front of Lu Guan's shoulder.

"........." Song Qianzhi lightly tried to retract his hand, and his two legs clamped one of Lu Guan's legs.

Lu Guan's body was very warm, like a stove.

But Song Qianzhi could already feel the coldness of the shabby room on a snowy night when he just opened his eyes, his neck couldn't help shrinking into the quilt, and after a battle between heaven and man, Song Qianzhi was about to quietly move his hands and feet back.

Lu Guan hugged him with the other hand, and pressed his whole body into his arms.

Now the two are completely entangled, there is me in you and you in me.Song Qianzhi was thinking wildly in the wind, and decided to just hug and sleep like this, as long as he wakes up after Bilu Guan in the morning.He closed his eyes but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He followed Lu Guan's breath in his nasal cavity, and felt the scorching man's breath from time to time.

Besides, Lu Guan didn't know what he was doing in his dream, he fell asleep with his crotch on his back, and the two of them faced each other. Song Qianzhi's little brother couldn't stand this kind of very rational teasing, and after a while, both of them fell asleep. Stick them together.

In any case, Song Qianzhi couldn't sleep well, and he didn't have the strength to push Lu Guan away.

Under all kinds of entanglements, Song Qianzhi fell asleep, his mind was full of: how to meet people tomorrow morning.

"Are you awake?" Song Qianzhi heard Lu Guan's question when he opened his eyes, and saw that Lu Guan was fully dressed and standing by the bed, throwing his clothes over.

Song Qianzhi hurriedly tore off his clothes.

"Get dressed and come down to eat. It's time to arrive today. I've already eaten. Let's go to the town to buy something."

Song Qianzhi worried: "What to buy? Can I buy it?"

Lu watched him.

In the faint morning light, Lu Guan was only wearing a cloth robe that was easy to move, dark blue in color, with two black cloth belts wrapped around his waist.

Song Qianzhi blinked his sleepy eyes, only felt that Lu Guan's thighs were strong and his buttocks were firm, and he thought of the feeling of being next to this hot body last night.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Guan frowned at him strangely, Song Qianzhi's face was so red that it was about to drip blood, but his complexion was fair, Lu Guan's throat moved slightly when he saw it, and he forced himself to move his eyes away.
