Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 374 Three major hobbies in life: solving cases, selling tea and eating banquets
While talking in front of the hall, there was a lot of fun inside and outside the Zhumen.

The best man for the groom and the best man for the bride come and go, see each other, play various games, and write a lot of poems.

The difficulties of the Zheng family are not easy to get through. Fortunately, the Li family of Zhaojun has Li Qiao who shines brilliantly and allows the groom to pass the test smoothly.

Looking at this future literary master, Li Yan thought of Su Weiwei, his eponymous foodie ancestor.

After he was selected as a Jinshi, he waited for two years to be selected by the Ministry of Officials, and now he is officially released from the rank of official and entered an official position. With an official position, he can train one or two.

There is also the group of Jiangnan scholars in the Yundan case, you can pay attention to it, and inject a new force into the Jiangnan gentry.

On the other side, the sisters-in-law and maidservants hugged the gorgeously dressed Miss Zheng out of the boudoir.

Miss Zheng did not have a red hijab on her head. Brides in the Tang Dynasty only took off the knee covering around their abdomen after leaving the mansion, and covered their faces so that no outsiders could see it. It was not necessary at other times. Covering the face.

However, after going out of the room and entering the hall, you can't meet the groom. Instead, you hang up a heavy curtain on the hall and put a saddle in the middle. Miss Zheng is supported and sits on the saddle, facing south and facing north. The "Die Yan Ceremony" began to be held.

The reason why the groom held wild geese before was because this animal was very important in the wedding. The matchmaker had to bring wild geese with him when he was talking about the match, and he also used it when he adopted it, and now he also needs it when he is officially married.

Geese are migratory birds, migrating north and south with climate change, and have fixed mates, if one dies, the other will no longer choose a mate.

The ancients believed that the geese from the south to the north follow the yin and yang, and the spouses are fixed, which is in line with righteous rituals. Marriage with geese as a ceremony symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang, loyalty and single-mindedness of the newlyweds.

At this time, the bridegroom carried the wild goose to the other side of the tent for luck, shouted loudly, and threw it across the obstacles.

The maids beside Mrs. Zheng rushed over immediately, caught it quickly, shook off the red cloth to wrap it, and then wrapped the goose's mouth with five-color silk brocade to suppress the croaking.

When the wedding is over, the groom's family will use their belongings to "redeem" the wild goose and let it live. This is a blessing for the couple and cannot be stewed.

Next, a pair of boys and girls stepped forward to remove the barriers. The bridegroom received his income before he officially saw the bride.

Seeing that his daughter was about to marry into a married woman, Zheng Rentong couldn't help his eyes blush at this time, and said slowly: "Go to my husband's house, be filial to my parents-in-law, husband and wife live in harmony, and I will never violate it!"

Miss Zheng wept and bowed down: "Aye, my child understands! My child understands!"

When the newlyweds left the house, the affairs here came to an end. Li Yan, as the woman's guest, ate, drank, danced and returned to Li's mansion.

The wedding was originally held at night, and it was almost time to return home at this time. Li Yan looked in the direction of the martial arts field, feeling a little bit reluctant: "Has there been too many social gatherings recently? Except for some things that I really can't put off tomorrow. The ones that fell were pushed away by me, delaying my practice."

Xu Daxin wondered if you were still practicing kung fu when you went to work, and looked at the schedule, with a strange expression on his face: "Xiao Lang, the thing you remember tomorrow is... the banquet."

Li Yan immediately cheered up: "Which one do you eat? Oh... Yang Zhirou is going to kill you?"

Xu Dao: "Yes, the former crown prince Zhan Shi Yang Jiaben died of illness in prison, and the former servant of the household department Yang Zhirou asked to be executed tomorrow, Xiao Lang specially asked me to mark that he was going to Yang's residence for a banquet."

Li Yan smiled: "The imperial servant Yang Chongji also resigned due to illness not long ago, Hongnong Yang's life is not easy, it seems that I really want to go to his house to give condolences, other things can be taken slowly, this matter Things cannot be pushed."

Xu Da: "..."

He figured out that Xiao Lang had three major hobbies besides his daily practice: solving crimes, selling tea, and eating banquets.

After sleeping soundly all night, Li Yan got up energetically and went to work with a knife in his hand.

Working hard in the martial arts training ground until noon, he immediately left the city to Dongshi where the execution was carried out.

There is no doubt that this place cannot do without a single person.

Qiu Shenji has never been absent from the execution ground.

But when Li Yan arrived at the scene, he couldn't help being startled.

Because Qiu Shenji came here wearing a scarlet robe, with his belly sticking out, and he was very proud in the crowd.

How could someone wear official robes during executions? Li Yan himself changed into casual clothes. Seeing him dumbfounded, Qiu Shenji waved his hands again and again: "Liulang! This way!"

Li Yan walked over, cupped his fists, and teased, "Qiu Jiyi!"

Qiu Shenji felt refreshed, and hurriedly clasped his fists, grinning so much that his mouth parted: "Oh, Liu Lang, don't make fun of me, you can't do it, you can't do it~"

Li Yan laughed and shook his head, Fu Fei is indeed a great joy, Qiu Shenji can be said to have continued the glory of the Qiu Mansion, so that this family of military generals will not decline.

It was he who promoted Qiu Shenji to the position of Ji Yishi. What official position does he do? Now he is an important member of the fourth rank, the leader of the inner guard cabinet, and he can cultivate a group of powerful forces.

And among his confidantes, Qiu Shenji has done the most meritorious service. After all, what he interrogated was all key information, especially the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the court react first. Now that King Poyang has been brought under control, the biggest disaster has been eliminated. , Natural credit is great.

Then recommended by Li Yan, Qiu Shenji finally completed the leap from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, and became an important member of the imperial court.

However, with Qiu Shenji's ability, if he were to manage one side, there would definitely be trouble. This is a professional talent. As long as there are prisoners, his work will be indispensable for a day. There is no need to do things that are not good at.

In comparison, some of Di Renjie, Guo Yuanzhen, An Shengan and even Xue Chuyu don't have to be confined to the inner guards, especially Di Pangpang. Li Yan plans to send him to the south of the Yangtze River to take good care of the obscenity atmosphere there.

Just as he was thinking, a prison van escorted him from a distance, and the prisoners headed by Yang Zhirou and Zheng Sanlang appeared in everyone's sight.

He is also a servant of the Six Departments, and he is also a well-known domestic sect of the Hongnong Yang family.

Ordinary people don't care about pretending or not, they only know that Emperor Wendi Yang of the previous dynasty came from this family, which is much more powerful than any famous Shandong family.

The high-ranking officials of the Hongnong Yang family were beheaded, which showed that the sage was wise, and everyone applauded.

Li Yan skillfully prepared to make a move.

In the period of Wu Zetian in history, Yang Zhirou was the third rank of Tong Zhongshu's sect and the prime minister who joined the cabinet, because he and Mrs. Rong Guo Yang's family went out to watch the royal house together, and they belonged to the foreign family. Look at the attribute points.

Ding Ziwei was completed before, coupled with various achievements in various places, his achievements reached 2631 points.

There is no need to save, and continue to improve wisdom and luck.

[Achievement point: 231]

……

When the officials of the Ministry of Punishment skillfully brought the criminal to the stage, Yang Zhirou knelt down trembling all over, and the eagle flew high above again, attracting attention.

Qiu Shenji wondered, "Yuanfang, is that your eagle? Why is it here again? It's like me. Do you like watching executions?"

Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Li Yan seized the opportunity, flicked his finger, imitated Shang Gong's shadowless needle, and shot it silently into Yang Zhirou's eyebrow.

The man didn't say a word, and died instantly, and then the executioner chopped off with a knife, and his head fell to the ground.

[Do not cut nameless (take effect)]

[Yang Zhirou's highest attribute is family background, successfully extracting 1 point of family background attribute]

Li Yan reserved attributes and felt refreshed.

Obviously, the family background is kept at a relatively low level, combined with the extremely high luck, killing these officials who are basically relying on the family to reach high positions is almost a one-shot.

Thinking about it this way, he looked forward to Wu's children even more.

After all, the status of the empress dowager's relatives is very different from that of the queen's, and there are so many children of the Wu family...

Hey!

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Sanlang, who had brutally murdered his colleagues, was also punished by Ming Zhengdian. Li Yan waited for Qiu Shenji to finish watching with relish: "Qiu Jiyi, let's go to Yang's Mansion for dinner."

Qiu Shenji shivered again: "Let's go!"

But after leaving Dongshi, he became strange again.

The last time I went to the Cui Mansion to have a banquet, it was Xu Jun Yinuo who stayed with me forever and ever. This time, Yang Zhirou didn't know him well enough, did he?
Qiu Shenji rolled his eyes and asked, "Liu Lang, do we have other things to do when we go to the Yang Mansion besides doing our part?"

Li Yan didn't hide it from him: "There is indeed an anecdote about my childhood, which is often related to the gentry in the Guan, but it is usually difficult for them to explain, this time I just asked why."

Qiu Shenji paused slightly, and bared his teeth: "Liu Lang is a high-ranking man, so there are some things that are inconvenient to say, let's see mine!"

……

Yang House.

The Guanwang House is the most prominent of the Yang family's houses. A mansion occupies a small half of the square area, and it is even more important than the Duke's Mansion in terms of ostentation.

The place is big, so there are naturally many seats that can be placed, and the dining table is also lively. This time, there are nearly a thousand people from all the branches of the Yang family, not to mention their entourage.

It's a pity that there are no more purple robes.

It’s not that the Yang family really lost third-rank senior officials, but those governors are all over the place, and it’s impossible for Yang Zhirou to return to the capital because of Yang Zhirou’s axe. In the sequence of Beijing officials, Yang Jiaben and Yang Zhirou died one after another, and Yang Chongji died of illness. Resignation will cause the Yang family to lose power.

So the expressions on the faces of the adults are really sad, and the children are more real. Seeing the dishes on the table are very greedy, they are waiting eagerly.

It wasn't until the news came from the doorman of the palace that the children became frightened.

Because inside and outside the hall, from lively to quiet, only one sentence is needed:

"Li Yuanfang, leader of the Internal Guard, and Qiu Shenji, the Neiwei Jiyi, will visit the mansion."
