Luo nine needles

Liu Yan approached the imperial study, and the officials waiting outside greeted him one after another.

"Lord Liu is here."

"How is Lord Liu recovering?"

He looked at Liu Yan's palm as he spoke.

Liu Yan's palm was wrapped in a wound cloth, and he didn't hang down to cover it with his sleeve. It was still held in front of him, and he didn't mind being seen.

Liu Yan nodded: "It's much better."

"That kid is outrageous," said an official.

Another official shook his head: "Sheng Mien, Dou Michou, you really shouldn't care about this matter."

But there are also officials who disagree: "Since there is kindness, we can't really let it go."

Everyone knew that Liu Yan was stabbed through the palm of the hand by a boy from the Gao family. An official of Liu Yan's level was injured, and there was no way to hide it.

Liu Yan didn't intend to hide it either, and his affair with the rich man of Huixianlou was no secret at all.

The rich man Gao was sick and weak, and he knew that his son was useless, so he put the deed of Huixian Tower on Liu Yan's place early on. Of course not, Gao Xiaoliu demanded nothing, and in a maddened way he used a knife to force him, which wounded Liu Yan.

"He didn't really want to hurt me." Liu Yan told everyone, "He wanted to hurt himself to threaten me, but I blocked it, and that's how it ended."

The officials shook their heads again: "It's outrageous." "It's hopeless."

"It's not that he's hopeless, it's that he hasn't suffered a lot." Liu Yan said, with a cold smile, "I put him in a cell for a year or so, so I can learn some lessons."

An official smiled: "You must be thankless for this matter. I'm afraid that both father and son will hate you."

Talking and laughing, a eunuch came out from inside, saw Liu Yan hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Master Liu, you are here, His Majesty ordered, please come in when you come."

Liu Yan responded yes, and walked inward.

"Doctor Huo is inside." An official reminded him in a low voice.

……

……

When Liu Yan walked into the imperial study, the emperor was talking to Huo Lian. Seeing him coming in, the emperor signaled Huo Lian to put away a piece of paper on the table.

I don't know which official's private matter was spied on again, Liu Yan lowered his eyes and avoided it.

"How is the injury?" the emperor also asked with concern.

Liu Yan shook his palm slightly in front of him: "The imperial doctor said that it won't affect the grip after raising it, but it's not as flexible as before."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the left hand was injured."

"You made His Majesty worry." Liu Yan apologized and reported the backlog of cases in Dali Temple, not minding Huo Lian's presence.

Is there anything about Dali Temple that Duchasi doesn't know about?
Sure enough, the emperor didn't let Huo Lian evade. After listening to him, he nodded: "Aiqing handled it well." Then he asked, "After the internal strife broke out in Momen, what's the new trend?"

Liu Yan glanced at Huo Lian.

Last time, the rich man sent a letter to him saying that the new head of the Mo sect wanted to clean up the surroundings of the capital, which is really funny. A Mo sect uses it to clean up the surroundings of the capital, but the new head wants to show off his might.

It is unbearable for self-interest to violate the law and discipline. The new head of the Momen can't control it. He Liu Yan managed it for them and led troops to arrest him, but he was stopped by Gao Xiaoliu when he left the city. He had to stop after considering his interests.

But it didn't take long for the news to arrive that Duchasi appeared there.

Duchasi recognized Momen, looked at the dead and wounded everywhere, after some investigation, he concluded that it was internal strife.

"These Jianghu sects really have no rules and no rules, fighting and civil strife at every turn." The emperor said contemptuously, and worried, "Will the treasure house of the Momen sect be robbed by them? Master Huo said that there were many casualties at the scene, and jewels were everywhere. , obviously after a fight."

Liu Yan leaned over and saluted: "I'm guilty, I don't know about these movements because I'm recuperating from injuries, and the eyeliner planted in Momen didn't send any news."

Huo Lian leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, let Lord Liu recuperate well, and we will all be supervised by the inspector."

The emperor smiled: "Your movement is too loud. Momen regards you as a deadly enemy, and guards against you. They are like you, but Master Liu is different. Master Liu can make them not guard." After finishing speaking, he looked at Liu Yan, "I This time, we must cut off the lifeblood of the Mo Sect, behead their thieves, and cut off their wealth, Master Liu, I am not in a hurry, take your time, and let me keep an eye on you."

Liu Yan thanked you for accepting the decree.

The emperor told Huo Lian again: "Jin Luan is about to order osmanthus. Keep an eye on these people in the court. I don't want to order people who are sent to me by others. This time, I will never want them to form a clique."

Huo Lian responded yes.

At this time, the eunuch came forward to report: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household..."

Hearing this name, the emperor frowned: "I don't want to see them."

One asked for money as soon as they opened their mouths, and the other said that they had no money as soon as they opened their mouths. It was just a small matter of renovating the Guanxing Pavilion and they were making noise every day. Is it so difficult for the emperor to spend some money?These ministers built their own houses, and they never saw them cry poor.

I really want to copy their home.

The emperor glanced at Huo Lian.

Huo Lian's eyes moved slightly, as if he was comprehending something.

The emperor hurriedly looked away, hiding his thoughts, he wanted to be a wise king, and he couldn't copy the minister's house every day.

The eunuch laughed and said, "The fifth son-in-law is here too. It seems that he didn't come to make noise this time. He said he found a way to save money."

Fifth son-in-law?The fifth son-in-law has no skills, just a waste of food, drink, and fun, but sometimes people who eat, drink, and play can really find things that others can't. For example, last time he was the first to point out that Momen is rich.

The emperor frowned slightly: "Xuan."

……

……

Liu Yan and Huo Lian withdrew one after the other, and three officials came towards them, chattering and murmuring.

"...Anyway, there is no money."

"... Whose fault is it if the construction period cannot be kept up?"

"...Don't worry, two adults, take a look at this Linglong Tower, it's very cheap..."

"I said fifth son-in-law, how big is your tower? Of course it's cheap."

"Although this tower is small, it is also a tower. The most important thing is not the size, but the skill. If you look at the skill, it can be used in the Star Watching Pavilion. In this way, the construction cost will be small..."

"I'm so ignorant and ignorant. I didn't know that the fifth son-in-law knows how to build... Mr. Fang, your household department is really blessed. You can save money with your son-in-law."

"Zhou Shilang, I don't know how to build. I know an old craftsman. He is an expert. It's a coincidence that his granddaughter went shopping with someone and bought this..."

"My son-in-law, don't go out a little bit, don't hang out with everyone, you know the granddaughter of the craftsman? That's not good."

"Hey, that's not what I meant—"

"I said Mr. Zhou, why are you so weird? Why are you talking to the son-in-law..."

The three of them argued, and when they looked up and saw Liu Yan, one of the officials changed his words: "Don't let Mr. Liu see the joke."

Another official was obviously not afraid: "Look at the joke? Whose joke is it? It's better to let Mr. Liu judge..."

After saying this, the voice stopped abruptly, because the three of them saw Huo Lian behind Liu Yan.

The world became quiet for an instant, and the three of them seemed to have forgotten to even take a step.

It was Liu Yan who broke the silence: "Three adults, go in quickly, Your Majesty is waiting."

The three hurriedly responded yes, and hurried inward.

The fifth son-in-law walked at the end holding a wooden pagoda dotted with pearls, and felt that Huo Lian's eyes fell on her body and hands.

He was most afraid of Huo Lian, so he shrank to the end just now, but he was still being targeted, and his body froze for a moment, replaying everything he had done these days in his mind...
Fortunately, Huo Lian didn't speak and watched him pass by.

The fifth son-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, forgot to be humble for a while, squeezed past the two adults, and entered the imperial study by himself.

Huo Lian looked away.

Liu Yan smiled: "Master Huo, I see you scare people."

"Thieves have a guilty conscience." Huo Lian said, looking at Liu Yan, "Master Liu is not afraid of me."

But his eyes fell on Liu Yan's hand, and he smiled suddenly.

"Master Liu's hand injury is ridiculous."

Liu Yan's expression was indifferent: "What's so funny about getting hurt?"

Huo Lian said: "I reminded the adults before, be careful, look, this is starting to hurt, and then, the adults will learn a lesson."

After finishing speaking, he passed Liu Yan and left.

But the smile on his face remained until the door of the house.

"The governor is so happy." Zhu Chuan said happily when he was on duty at the inspector's office today.

Huo Lian smiled again: "Liu Yan thought he was in control of everything? In fact, he was just driven by others, which is ridiculous."

The corners of Zhu Chuan's mouth twitched, his eyes were strange.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Huo Lian asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Chuan didn't speak, but motioned to him: "Captain, come with me."

Huo Lian frowned, but didn't ask any questions. She followed Zhu Chuan and walked inward, and soon stopped in front of Zhu Chuan's classroom.

"Captain..." Zhu Chuan lowered his voice, "That, man, said to find you..."

that person?Huo Lian froze for a moment, raised her hand and pushed open the closed door in front of her.

The woman sitting indoors drinking tea raised her head to meet his gaze.

Beside his ear was Zhu Chuan's urgent voice.

"Captain, if you don't see me, I'll drive her away."

Huo Lian turned to him again and asked, "Then, will it make things difficult for you? After all, everyone is invited in."
