Chapter 48 Cooperation
The breeze blew up, dissipating the sweltering heat, and I didn't hear the cicadas chirping, and the birds chirping sounded in my ears.

After Li Xunchuan slept until dusk, Xiyu gently knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mr. He is here."

Li Xunchuan was in a light sleep, and was about to throw off the quilt, thought for a while, and said, "Take Mr. He to the living room and wait for me."

He Xiyao seldom appeared in the Criminal Court, and it was difficult to see him on weekdays. Unless there was something important, he would show up in court, keeping a low profile.Li Xunchuan ordered men to present the Mengding, and said, "Why did Mr. He suddenly come to visit?"

He Xiyao was dressed plainly, he didn't bring anyone with him, he came with the brochure by himself, spread the things on the table, and said: "My lord governor, I have something to ask for my advice."

Li Xunchuan glanced at the booklet, which was the confession of the trial court. He frowned and said, "Master He, what does this case investigation have to do with me?"

He Xiyao was nearly thirty years old, and he was a stable person, but at this moment he showed embarrassment, and said: "Governor, there are some things that really shouldn't bother the Governor, but first the Jiyuan Temple was set on fire, then the students of the Imperial College were poisoned, and the assassins in the school grounds a few days ago , This chain of events is really strange."

Li Xunchuan still didn't understand why he came, so he took a sip of tea and said, "Master He, haven't the Criminal Court and Dali Temple discussed and closed the case, and not only these things, but also Liao Ze's death, don't you have an explanation? this……"

"The governor doesn't know something," He Xiyao said, "Dali Temple requested that the case be closed as soon as possible, and this matter was not investigated carefully at all. Putting aside the first three matters for now, Mr. Liao's matter originally involved Eunuch Li. There is a dead end, but some people escaped and others were killed, Eunuch Li entered Yushitai, but he will never be safe."

Li Xunchuan tapped his fingers on the table.

He Xiyao went on to say: "The inferior position was promoted by the left minister, but the left minister only taught the inferior position to be successful, and there was no interaction after entering the position. I am grateful for Mr.'s kindness, but the husband doesn't bother to take care of these things, so the inferior position can only come to find Your Excellency Governor, help me."

Li Xunchuan frowned, and after talking for a long time, he finally understood He Xiyao's intention. Li Xunchuan held the teacup and said, "So Mr. He wants me to help you investigate Eunuch Li?"

This was finally guessed by him, and He Xiyao had hinted at it for too long.He blinked and said, "The Prime Minister of the Right wants to purge the court, and this matter should be put on the agenda. Governor, this is a very good thing. On the one hand, if it is found out that Eunuch Li is innocent, it will naturally be given to Li. If the father-in-law's favor is not innocent, the governor will do a great job!"

Li Xunchuan laughed, and with a little sullenness, he said, "Since it's such a good thing, why didn't Mr. He come by himself? There are so many people in the court, why did they find my house?"

He Xiyao hurriedly said: "The governor has misunderstood. This...the lowly position has nothing to do, Dali Temple is too urgent, and I really have nothing to do, this..."

What He Xiyao and Li Yanchuan had heard was really different.It was rumored that He Xiyao was upright, never stood in line, did everything by himself, and handled everything with ease, so he shouldn't be begging Li Yanchuan to help him like he is today.

I'm afraid it's a fraud.

Li Xunchuan collected his expression and said, "Master He thinks highly of me. Although I wear the badge of the governor, I am actually an idiot. Soldiers and wars are my strengths. After all these years, I have Those who stay here are not so clear-headed, I'm afraid they won't be able to help Mr. He."

"What's the governor talking about?" He Xiyao said with an apologetic smile, "The governor was a young marquis, and his qualifications and knowledge are far above those of us, so why is he not clear-headed?"

Li Xunchuan gradually became impatient, his head still hurt, and he was shocked by He Xiyao's set of rhetoric. He changed a cup of tea and said, "Eunuch Li is also a person by His Majesty's side, even if he is not by His Majesty's side now. Waiter, that's not someone you and I can move."

He Xiyao grinned, and said: "The solution is all figured out by people, as long as the governor is willing to cooperate."

Li Xunchuan knocked on the teacup, raised his eyes and said, "What benefits do I have?"

He Xiyao pushed the confession in front of Li Yuchuan, and said, "We will find out in the future."

"Come on!" Li Xunchuan slammed the case, slightly angry, and said, "Don't tell me these unpromising words."

He Xiyao tilted his head and said, "What does the Governor want?"

Li Yanchuan laughed loudly and said, "I want the key to the armory."

He Xiyao's expression paused, he looked at Li Yanchuan, this man had a really big appetite, he raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Deal."

Fu Sisi broke off the willow branches, and the newly pulled out leaves were green and plump, carrying the smell of the breeze. As soon as she walked to the gate of Zuixue Court, she saw Zhuo Ran walking towards this side.Fu Sisi raised her hand and waved the willow stick, saying: "Xiaqiu!"

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes and saw Fu Sisi calling her with a smile, so she raised her skirt and ran over, saying, "Sister Fu, is there nothing going on in the prison? Why is it so late?"

Fu Sisi handed her the willow branch, and said as she walked, "I handed it to Luo Ling. I found that this girl is careful in doing things, so I arranged some more things for her. I will come when I have free time."

Zhuo Ran pulled the willow branch lightly, pulled a few knots, and made a hat. Fu Sisi put the willow hat on her head, looked at Zhuo Ran carefully, and said, "Teach me all day long. The students are also very tired, look at you, your lips are dry and bleeding."

Zhuo Ran was taken aback for a moment, she raised her hand and touched her lips, and sure enough, it was bleeding, but it wasn't dry.

She smiled slightly and said, "I see, just drink some water later."

Fu Sisi nodded and said: "I heard people say that the governor will trouble you from time to time, can you handle it? He is too difficult."

Zhuo Ran sighed, and said: "It's okay, if he makes trouble, I'll accompany him to make trouble. Anyway, it's a long time, so it's not bad to pass it off like this."

Fu Sisi said: "You have jumped from the master to the secretary, there must be many other voices, Xiaqiu, there are many people who envy you for reaching the sky in one step, and there are also many people who want to step you back. At this time, you should Be careful, don't let others take advantage of your loopholes."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "I see."

The four of them sat around the table, Zhou Yu had learned a lot of dishes recently, the table was full of fragrance, Han Congzhong didn't even bother to drink the wine, he had already forgotten about the wine after eating with his chopsticks.

"Come on, Sisi, Ran'er, try this fish, it's so fresh!" Zhou Yu took the vegetables and said, "You two are busy all day, you have lost so much weight, eat more."

Fu Sisi picked up carrots for Zhuo Ran, and said, "Sir and Tai Tu should also eat more."

Han Congzhong thought for a while, picked up the robe and put it in his arms, and said, "Xiaqiu, have you found the person I asked you to look for?"

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "Master, Chang Yike is indeed in the Imperial Army, but he now has a new name, Chang Yinyu."

"Chang Yinyu?" Han Congzhong chanted the name carefully, then laughed loudly and said, "This kid will find a name for himself."

Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "It's up to you."

"Qi Lisheng Changyin."

"Why am I depressed?" [1]

Han Congzhong said again: "Li Yuchuan is in charge of him, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him, so find a chance to meet him again."

Zhuo Ran nodded.

Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something, he threw away his chopsticks and hurried into the house, Han Congzhong smiled and said, "He prepared presents for you two."

Zhou Yu took out two swords from the room, he ran to the table excitedly, and said, "It's early, I happened to meet a swordsmith I knew before when I went out to buy vegetables, he is my friend, He was about to leave for southern Xinjiang, and before he left, he said that he would give me two swords, and I saw that it was just right, so I agreed casually, but I didn't expect that he sent these things over a few days ago."

Fu Sisi looked at it and said, "Good sword!"

Zhou Yu pursed his lips and said, "That's not true. My friend was the most powerful swordsmith at that time."

He gave the longer sword to Fu Sisi, and said: "Usually in the imperial prison, this sword can not only defend yourself but also intimidate others. From now on, you can take it with you, just use it with ease."

This sword cuts iron like mud, Fu Sisi's body is covered with cloud patterns, the blade is sharp and smooth, the scabbard is inlaid with two black gemstones, it is symmetrical, the hilt is slightly longer, also accompanied by cloud patterns.

Fu Sisi couldn't put it down, she bowed her head and said, "Thank you sir."

Zhuo Ran's sword is a bit shorter, but small and exquisite. The scabbard is decorated with white jade, and there is a long faint blue trace in the center of the sword body. The tail of the sword is hooked back, and the hilt is very comfortable to hold. Zhuo Ran smiled. , said: "I am not familiar with swordsmanship, I am afraid I will spoil this good sword."

Han Congzhong said: "You are too weak to use martial arts. This sword will satisfy your hunger. It is always good to play two swords in your free time."

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Ran'er, take good care of your body. Although the swordsmanship that your master gave you is indeed cheap for self-defense, you can also practice it on weekdays. It is always useful to strengthen your body."

Zhuo Ran held the sword and nodded.

Zhou Yu tilted his head and said, "Sisi, what name do you plan to give this sword?"

Fu Sisi frowned and thought about it, then said helplessly: "Let's take it with Xiaqiu's, I really can't think of it."

Zhuo Ran held the sword in his arms, ate the fish, and said, "I want Master to fetch it for me."

Han Congzhong thought for a while, took the sword in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "I have to think about it, and I will tell you when you come next time. Let's eat first!"

Zhou Yu stuffed a piece of fish into Han Congzhong's plate, and said mockingly, "Eat more, you're old, you can't think of anything."

Han Congzhong stared, ate the fish, and said, "You're the only one who talks too much."

Zhuo Ran looked at the grapes that Han Congzhong had planted together with Han Congzhong a few days ago, the soil surface was wet, it should have been watered.Zhuo Ran tilted her head, as if she saw grape sprouts jumping out of the soil, climbing up the shelf to the top floor, running up crazily.

"Girl, what are you looking at." Han Congzhong said, "It's still early, and it will take a few days for the buds to sprout. Don't worry."

Zhuo Ran looked at Han Congzhong and nodded.

The moon hangs in the sky, the noise of the city is quiet, the moon is white, scattered, Zhuo Ran sits in front of the grape shed, watching the new shoot stepping on the fragmented moonlight, raising his head and breaking through the ground.
