Crown Jewels

Chapter 201

"Master! I have searched all over the neighborhood of the county government, and digging three feet has not found any obvious coffins."

"There is also the burial site in Xiangji Mountain. There are obvious traces left on the road. My men also searched for that temple. They only saw a wooden cart with piles of rocks thrown on it. I'm afraid it was a way for the thieves to hide it. .”

Holding the torch, the man in black quickly lowered his head after reporting, quietly waiting for the trial of the person in front of him.

The light of the torch made Prince Gong's face bright and dim, like a dark ghost in the dark night, the filth that can't be seen in the light.Hearing what the man in black said, he didn't find any clues of progress, and his eyes hidden in the darkness gleamed with a cold light.

Just when the man in black thought that he would not die well today, Prince Gong suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with this time.

"The kid next to the princess named Song Yan, how about the news you asked to check?"

Seeing that Prince Gong didn't immediately punish him for his ineffectiveness, the man in black was visibly relieved, he quickly leaned over to put his hands on the ground and knocked hard, got up and hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Back to the master! The princess of Song Yanshi is a classmate, and his father has no official position. The current Mrs. Song is the stepmother, and there is a younger sister in that kid's family. According to the investigation of the humble job, although the Song family is a merchant, they are good at doing business. There are often caravans traveling between Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Bashu, but relying on the reselling business with Lin'an City, they have saved a lot of money."

The man in black frowned, before waiting for Prince Lai Gong's response, he quickly recalled the information about Song Yan carefully.

"Also! Song Qiu, the master of the Song Mansion, dreamed of letting Song Yan become an official through the imperial examination, so as to glorify his family, so he was forced to enter the Ancient Academy. However, that kid has always been a little naughty. The deputy lieutenant of Wuzhong walked quite close, and because of this, he had some unpleasant quarrels with his father."

What the man in black said was detailed, and Prince Gong quickly extracted the key from it.

"Oh! By the way——"

As if thinking of something, the tone of the man in black was obviously more passionate this time.

"Report to master! On the day you went to Daxingshan Temple, after the humble officer found something abnormal, he carefully checked the list of each family in the gatekeeper registration office of the temple."

"Although it wasn't the Buddha's birthday that day, there were quite a few people coming and going between government and business. I didn't investigate any obvious clues. However, speaking of Song Yan, I just remembered that on the list of people who came to Daxingshan Temple to worship Buddha that day, Then there is the name of Xuanyifang Song Mansion..."

After telling all the clues he had mastered, the man in black put his head on the cold ground, not daring to move his body, waiting for the master in front of him to deal with him.

Even though his face is calm, his slightly trembling legs hidden under the gown still betray his nervousness. He was not a leader at first, but he was lucky enough to live the longest. He happened to see the appearance of the previous leaders who died tragically because of their incompetence. At this moment , he could only pray in his heart.

"Oh! You mean, that kid was very close to the people in the army, and, on the day of Daxingshan Temple, he was very likely to have appeared somewhere?"

Hidden in the darkness, Prince Gong's tone was cold, and the jade wrench on the right thumb resting on his waist slowly turned, projecting the icy color of jade.

"That's right!"

The man in black didn't dare to be fooled, and quickly responded.

"And if the source of the news is good, according to the nonchalant servants in the Song Mansion's stepmother's yard, that boy Song Yan does not want to take the imperial examination, but he seems to be planning to use martial arts to enter the official career. It seems... that it will be in August this year."

After saying these words, I finally felt that the atmosphere was not as oppressive as before. The man in black breathed heavily, and his eyes fell gently on Prince Gong's waist. Suddenly, as if encountering some kind of strong resistance, at the same time, Prince Gong's faint voice sounded again, echoing in the mountain wall, and the mixed voice was inexplicably intrusive.

"Martial arts? The servants of the stepmother's yard—"

The voice was getting lower and lower, Prince Gong frowned and thought for a moment, the index finger stuck on the jade finger suddenly exerted force, and in the sight of the man in black, the jade finger with a green halo resumed its previous melody and turned slowly again Get up, with the sound of ticking water in your ears, it seems to be brewing a storm before the rain.

……

The apricot blossoms rustled and fell, accompanying the Huangu Academy through the scorching summer.

The autumn wind is refreshing, and the autumn rain is accompanied by the breeze, filling the academy with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

Clusters of small golden and orange flowers fell to the ground and were trampled into mud by pedestrians. They melted into the soil and circulated to nourish the osmanthus trees. However, the strong fragrance of osmanthus still lingers on the nose, and it feels fresh and wonderful when you smell it.

On the Zhuangzi of the Huangu Academy, Song Yan was familiar with his horse gait, and directly chose Fu Sinian's side, the heaviest stone burden weighing about three hundred catties, took a deep breath, the calluses on his hands held the edge of the stone burden, With a sudden lift on the waist and abdomen, the stone burden was turned over in Song Yan's hands into a very beautiful "offer seal".

Seeing this performance, Fu Sinian's blood was also boiling with excitement. Until Song Yan put down the stone burden again, his applause still continued, and his tone was full of praise.

"Brother, yes!"

"This is a three-hundred-jin stone load, and you took it all out."

"At first you told me that you wanted to participate in this martial arts competition. I still felt that we are still young, and we have been accumulating and growing for two years. Why should we force ourselves to grow up? Looking at your results now, it proves that I'm narrow."

Fu Sinian patted Song Yan's shoulder, full of admiration. Seeing Song Yan's low-pitched smile humming in his throat, accompanied by his unbalanced breathing just now, his voice became more magnetic.
"Let's not talk nonsense! Brother, bring me back a martial arts champion this time. After two years, I will definitely catch up. When the time comes, our brothers will be neat and tidy. good!"

Fu Sinian smiled so hard that his eyes couldn't see his teeth, his eyes were full of firmness and yearning, Song Yan raised his eyebrows, it was rare that he didn't hit him with this matter.

"correct--"

"It's been a while since I saw Princess Nanping," Fu Sinian said, punching Song Yan's chest again, with a sad face and a sad tone mixed with ridicule.

"Speaking of which, why did I make friends with such a perverted brother like you? People say that brothers are like brothers and feet! Women are like clothes! Don't tell the difference..."

Looking at Fu Sinian coldly, he even kicked the ground suggestively in front of him. Song Yan couldn't hold back the twitching of his mouth. He glanced at Fu Sinian with sympathetic eyes, and shook his head speechlessly, thinking that Fu Sinian still lacked life experience to speak so shallow words come.

Song Yan originally wanted to open his mouth to refute a few words, but thought about it, the ice between this guy and Miss Shen has not yet been completely broken, and he is still planning to be a person in front of his good brother, so he didn't continue to sprinkle salt on his wound.

However, thinking of Gu Baozhu in recent days, Song Yan couldn't help raising her eyebrows after the joke. A few days ago she bid farewell to her and returned to her home. In fact, because of preparing for the martial arts, I didn't spend time with her for some days.

Song Yan drooped his eyelids to hide the emotions in his eyes, and secretly decided that after the martial arts was over, he would go to Gu Baozhu as soon as possible. This autumn leaves a unique sweetness.

After a while, Song Yan raised his eyelids to withdraw his distracting thoughts, picked up the prepared package, and urged Fu Sinian.

"Let's go! Go back to Xuanyi Square—"

"Before the martial arts, are you going to live in the house?"

Fu Sinian's surprised voice came, Song Yan nodded and explained something casually.
