Handbook for Avoiding the Court

County magistrate Yu sat by the wooden railing in the attic, the night was like ink, the breeze was mixed with drizzle, and it was still slightly cold, the small courtyard was deserted, only an old servant squatted aside and warmed the wine.

County magistrate Yu frequently drank wine facing the boundless night, and his depression was hard to dissipate. He sat for half the night in silence, until the old servant fell asleep again and again, the jug bottomed out, and the residual rain gradually receded. Then magistrate Yu ordered the old servant to close Doors and windows, back to the room to rest.

The old servant pushed County Magistrate Yu into the attic, made the bed, lit incense, poured another pot of hot tea, and then retreated tremblingly.

"Master Yu, I haven't seen you for a day, and I'm quite haggard. It seems that I'm reminded of some unbearable past events?"

The cold voice pierced through the window sill and hit the eardrums of County Magistrate Yu.

The originally tightly closed window opened suddenly, and a white shadow came in.

County magistrate Yu lowered his eyes, without fear, poured two cups of hot tea leisurely, and said calmly: "Your Excellency seems to be eyeing Yu, I don't know what he wants to do."

Lian Zifeng was not polite, he sat down at the table, picked up the hot tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Lian Zifeng looked around for the furnishings of the room, and found that it was really poor, and suddenly felt incredible, a thick soothing fragrance filled the whole room.

Lian Zifeng became more determined...

"Master Yu, you and I don't have to play charades anymore, I'll just get straight to the point, you withdraw the arrest warrant tomorrow, and I won't bother you anymore." After saying this, Lian Zifeng almost flicked his tongue , the purpose of coming here is not just that.

"It seems that you care about those two criminals." County magistrate Yu smiled lightly, raised his hand and poured another cup of hot tea for Lian Zifeng, and said, "You didn't come here just because of this, it's so cold outside. It's been hard work."

Lian Zifeng choked on the words of County Magistrate Yu, and he was discovered when he was hiding under the eaves. In this case...

Lian Zifeng squeezed out a smile from the corner of his eyes, revealing deep crow's feet, "Master Yu, no, should I call you Master Wang Yushen?"

County magistrate Yu's eyes flickered fiercely, and after a while, he sneered and said, "It seems that even if I hide in the corners of the world, I can't hide from someone with a heart. If so, you might as well just tell me what you want."

"Master Wang is really straightforward, I won't beat around the bush anymore, I need to take you back to the capital."

Wang Yushen's thin face turned pale in an instant.

Seeing this, Lian Zifeng knew that this move was a successful one. He leaned into Wang Yushen's ear and whispered, "Going to see your sweetheart, don't you want to be troubled?"

This sentence probably stimulated Wang Yushen, and perhaps reminded him of those unbearable past events. His hand shook suddenly, and the teacup fell and shattered.

"I don't have a loved one, he died a long time ago, he died completely..."

Even though blood was dripping from his heart, his words were still as calm as a windless lake without any waves.

Lian Zifeng had heard about Wang Yushen's deeds when he was still in the poison doctor's school.

Gentle and elegant, full of economics, and unparalleled in appearance.

As for his love affair with Shaokang Emperor Li, it is no longer a secret. It is a pity to say that they were lovers. At first, the late emperor left Wang Yushen by Wang Li's side to study, because he liked his intelligence and wisdom. , in order to assist Wang Li in governing the country in the future.

I don't know if it's because Wang Yushen's appearance is too charming, or because Wang Li likes masculinity at first, when the late emperor offered him a marriage, he also flatly refused.

Paper cannot contain fire, and there is no impenetrable wall. I don't know where it started. The unusual relationship between the two spread like wildfire on the wasteland in an instant, and spread throughout the entire capital in an instant.

This matter naturally made the first emperor fly into a rage.

What happened after that was gradually spread by rumors as miraculous.

What the first emperor threatened Wang Yushen's family with him and ordered him to leave Wang Li.

What kind of heartless and ungrateful Wang Yushen got a large sum of money bestowed by the first emperor and left the palace to marry a wife and have children.

Some people also said that Wang Yushen faked his death, but was actually hidden...

Some people also said that he deserved to die...

"Obviously affectionate, but pretending to be ruthless, enduring the misunderstanding and hatred of the one you love and the world, why bother." Lian Zifeng glanced at the tea in the cup, and said with a smile: "The tea is cold." After saying that, pour the tea Bring it to your lips, and still drink it.

I don't know whether it touched the softness in Wang Yushen's heart, or the helplessness of being seen through. Through the candlelight, Wang Yushen's eyes were misty, and he murmured: "Since it is the past, why not let it pass away, this is the best ending."

Wang Yushen looked at Lian Zifeng with complicated eyes, full of doubts and vigilance: "How did you know my identity, and why did you suddenly become interested in a small county magistrate? You said it was just for the sake of those two young men who are wanted. Man, I certainly don't believe it."

"Those two tokens."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Lian Zifeng smiled and said: "One of the two tokens is my own nonsense, and the other golden one is the token for the emperor to mobilize the dead, how do you, a little county magistrate, know that it is Shengyu? You recognized it, but you didn't check the authenticity carefully. In fact, you saw it a long time ago, but you didn't say it. Your pale face made me very confused. It doesn't seem to be shocked, but it seems to be watching The panic of seeing an important person I haven't seen in years."

"So, you went to check on me?"

"That's right, this county magistrate Yu was originally a dude with extravagant food and clothing. How can he be so poor? Besides, the county magistrate was bought for 5000 taels of silver, and his parents are just from a border town. As a businessman, no one in my ancestors has ever participated in an official career, let alone met Tianyan in person. Mr. Wang does not have the slightest look of a playboy, and Yu County Magistrate is a tall and healthy person."

"I underestimated you." Wang Yu smiled deeply.

"Actually, I'm very curious. At the beginning, that person arranged for you to go to Wang Li's side, but he returned in vain. Wang Li still ascended the throne, and he never used you as a chess piece again. Why? Who sent you back then? The relationship with Emperor Shaokang spread all over the capital? How did you hide here for 20 years without being discovered? Besides, who made you into this state?"

Lian Zifeng had already found out some things clearly, but he still wanted to verify. When he reached the last sentence, he deliberately lowered his eyes to look at Wang Yushen's legs.

"Young Master Lian is so presumptuous to call the current emperor by his name so directly. You ask too many questions, so I'm sorry I can't answer." Wang Yushen rolled up his sleeves, still looking calm, not answering, denying, or defending.

"Because I know Mr. Wang won't say anything, so I am more courageous, but how did you know my identity?" Lian Zifeng was a little surprised. This Wang Yushen is a paralyzed man, and he has no money and no power. What does he think? Can you reveal your identity?

In fact, when it comes to the current emperor, Lian Zifeng naturally scoffs at him. He really has no affection for this ridiculous and decadent emperor. Lover, come and go naked, the worst is death, and after 18 years, he will be a hero again!

But how can the emperor's family be compared with ordinary people? How can the emperor who can suppress King Ming be such a simple person?It's a pity that Lian Zifeng didn't understand this point.

Wang Yu smiled softly, as if he had read Lian Zifeng's mind, and said, "The face-changing technique of the Poison Doctor Sect is unique, but seeing it today, it's nothing more than common."

This person is really meticulous.

There are only three disciples in the Poison Doctor Sect, and Mo Beixing disappeared three years ago.

The other was a woman, and Lian Zifeng's figure definitely couldn't be a woman.

Therefore, there must be only Lian Zifeng left.

"Master Wang is really wise. Since that's the case, let me say that King Ming arranged you next to Wang Li because he wanted you to destroy him. The fact that Wang Li is a broken sleeve is also because he hides a lot of King Ming's eyeliner around him." It must be because of Eunuch Yan that you were able to leave the palace and hide here without anyone noticing."

After listening to Lian Zifeng's words, Wang Yushen, who was originally calm, smiled coldly: "This is all your one-sided words, nonsense."

"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your son Wang Xuan? Don't you think that he is still serving as some kind of bodyguard beside King Ming? You are a terrible father. You are in this remote corner, but your son is in the dead Did you ever know that you crawled and rolled in the sea of ​​mountain blood, and even ate human flesh?"

"Nonsense! My son..." Wang Yu's voice trembled and his face turned pale.

"How come... that's not what he said, he promised me that he would treat my son well..."

"That's why I asked you to go back to the capital with me. You just need to tell me if you are willing to help the second prince obtain the throne, and your son can return to you safely."

"Forgive me, I won't see him in this life."

Wang Yushen turned his back, as if he was avoiding something or covering up something, he looked out the window, it was dark, his feelings for him were very complicated, and as he got older, he couldn't see it through.

Up to now, he just wants to hide himself and end his life.

Therefore, he answered decisively and simply, without leaving a trace.

His Xuan'er...

"Master Wang, do you really disregard your son's life or death? Or do you not believe me at all?" Lian Zifeng frowned, this result was unexpected.

Is this person really hard-hearted?

"He is not my son, he is my twin brother's child..."

This sentence shocked Lian Zifeng. Even though he had full trust in the investigative ability of his hidden guards, he never expected such an unexpected result.

"Please let my nephew go, I promise you whatever you want, even if it's my life, as long as you don't let me meet him. I have no face to see him, and I... hate him."

Wang Yushen straightened his body, and continued with begging eyes: "My brother suffered... castration for me, and lost his life. It was him... I was sorry for him, and I shouldn't have agreed to him. Xuan'er, he can't Something, otherwise how will I face my elder brother after I die!"

"What the hell is going on..." Lian Zifeng was also shocked by the sudden news!

"My brother and I are the result of King Ming's training. He arranged for me to meet... the emperor. I betrayed him. I failed to complete the task he gave me, but I don't know why King Ming gave up the fight for the crown prince. Not only did he not execute me, he also arranged me here..."

After saying that, before Lian Zifeng could reply, he held onto the chair and knelt down straight...

"Help my Xuan'er..."

The air was terribly quiet, only the thick soothing fragrance was left lingering.

After waiting for a long time but not seeing Lian Zifeng's answer, Wang Yushen raised his head and found that Lian Zifeng was unmoved and his eyes were confused.

"Master Lian?" Wang Yushen called again.

"Ah!" Lian Zifeng became clear suddenly, looked at the incense burner, and said with a sneer, "This incense is a bit overbearing, it almost made me lose my mind! I don't know why you want such a strong soothing incense, Mr. Wang? "

After Lian Zifeng finished speaking, he realized that Wang Yushen was kneeling upright in front of him. He couldn't help being shocked, hurriedly helped him up, and said apologetically, "I was distracted, I was distracted. I thought I had internal energy to protect my body. Ordinary soothing incense doesn't work for me, I never thought I was overconfident."

"By the way, what did you just say?" Lian Zifeng added another sentence, looking at Wang Yushen's sad face.

Wang Yushen said hoarsely, "Save my nephew."

Lian Zifeng said: "Of course we need to be rescued. You withdraw the arrest warrant first, and other things can be discussed. But why does Mr. Wang use such strong tranquilizing incense? Can I feel your pulse for you?"

Before the words finished, Lian Zifeng stretched out his hand to grab Wang Yushen's pulse, but the other party quickly dodged.

"Why?"

Lian Zifeng really couldn't think of any reason for Wang Yushen to refuse his diagnosis and treatment. People who can use such a strong tranquilizing incense but are safe have either been plagued by nightmares for many years, or have been poisoned by some kind of poison, and the pain is unbearable, or, Life is not long?

Lian Zifeng looked at the thin and fair Wang Yushen, and always felt that something was wrong.

Maybe he missed something?

The author has something to say:

True and false are also true.
