Chapter 19

After tidying up her mess, Mingshu took the initiative to take a plate of puffed snails made by herself and went to the study to find Yan Ziqin.The raw material of the puffed snails is the soufflé, which is the current cream. It is rotated and dripped into the shape of the puffed snails with a special method. It is sweet, fragrant and soft, and melts in the mouth. It is a bit like a modern puff. For Yanzi who loves sweets Chin was simply irresistible.

Yan Ziqin was sitting in front of the desk rubbing his chin, while Xu An stood aside to help him pinch his neck. He was hit by Mingshu's "Lushan Shenglongba" just now, and he still hasn't fully recovered. Seeing Mingshu coming again, he couldn't help but Surprised, he shrank back slightly.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Mingshu suddenly remembered that Mrs. Du had persuaded her to "stand up" in front of her husband and son-in-law early in Tongling. I wonder if today's "domestic violence" counts?A burst of guilt, embarrassment on the face, after all, it was not his fault, but he beat him up, thanks to Yan Ziqin's restraint and self-cultivation, if it happened to him, there would be a bigger disturbance.

"This...I made it...you have a taste..." She put the plate of crispy snails on the table and pushed it in front of Yan Ziqin little by little, hoping that others would ignore her small movements as much as possible and think it was a snack He ran up to Yan Ziqin by himself.

Yan Ziqin sighed, and thought: "She still takes care of me. She knows that my jaw is weak and I can't chew hard things, so she specially uses soufflé as a snack for me." Thanks to her "Hong Fu"?I lost my appetite for a while, put the plate aside, pointed to a stack of envelopes on the table, and asked:

"Are these the letters you're talking about?"

Hearing that his utterance was still a bit vague, Mingshu didn't expect her shot to be so heavy, and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Yan Ziqin said: "When the letter arrived, I was already taking a bath." Speaking of taking a bath reminded people of a commotion in the bathtub, he could not help swallowing, "Xu An put the letter on the paperweight on the desk in the study Down."

As he spoke, he took out several letters addressed to Mingshu. Mingshu took them obediently and opened them with small silver scissors. Her parents were still reading the letters, asking her to take care of herself and Yan Ziqin. Little did she know, Yan Ziqin had already been beaten up by her.

At the end of the letter, Qu Yuan Shi also specifically praised his daughter's great progress in calligraphy, and Yuan Yizhen and other little sisters also praised Ming Shu's handwriting in their letters.

Yan Ziqin was also reading the letter when Mingshu was reading it. He looked away from the letter paper, sighed, and said, "I wanted to pick a time to take leave and go back to my hometown to meet my mother, but it seems that I don't need it for the time being."

Mingshu wondered, "Why?"

Yan Ziqin said: "My mother found a teacher for my younger brother in my hometown. His surname was Wang Mingyi. He was a Jinshi who returned to his hometown Ding You, and he couldn't leave for a while. Although she said this, she was actually considering my new official career and was afraid of coming over. Add the burden later."

Ming Shu nodded, but saw that Yan Ziqin was studying the ink, and was about to reply. After thinking for a while, he took out a piece of jade paper specially used for writing official documents, and wrote a line on the header: "Huainan West Road, a reminder of criminal and prison official affairs" .

Huainan West Road is the upper level of Shuzhou, similar to the relationship between the province and the city today, and the officials who mention criminals and prisons are the officials who picket the criminals and prisons in the administrative area at the "road" level. They specialize in various cases, commonly known as criminal officials .

"What do you want to write to the person in charge of criminal justice?" Ming Shu asked.

Yan Ziqin said while writing, "Report on Wang Er's autopsy, and strive to reverse the case, and then state the entanglement between Yu Qing and Wang Er during his lifetime, so that he can use the power of the Shangguan to investigate Yu's family background."

Ming Shu was puzzled and said, "The entanglement between Yu Qing and Wang E during his lifetime? What do you mean?"

Yan Ziqin suddenly remembered that he had never told Mingshu about Wang Er teasing the young lady of the Yu family, but it was not something glorious, so he didn't say anything, so he pressed his chin and remained silent.

Ming Shu thought that his jaw had broken off again, and was worried that he might injure the trigeminal nerve. Although she was a forensic doctor, she also understood basic medical knowledge, so she pinched his face to check, and then released it after confirming that it was all right. tone.

And those sweet, fragrant, soft and melt-in-the-mouth puffed snails naturally did not escape, Yan Ziqin secretly ate them after Ming Shu returned to the room, and he still had to maintain a serious image of a man in front of his wife.

That night, Mingshu bathed, burned incense and changed her clothes, and finally ushered in the happiest moment in her life—going to bed, closing her eyes, and Yan Ziqin's small body suddenly appeared in her mind, and his face was approaching her...

Hurry up and shake your head, the evil spirits will disperse!They are in a "separated" state now, and there should be no such illusions of immorality, not to mention that she once made a wish to God, asking God to give her a prosperous beauty like Huo Jianhua, eight-pack abs like Sun Yang, and a mansion full of flowers Such a gentle and refined man.

On the other hand, Yan Ziqin's face hasn't bloomed yet, his abdominal muscles almost don't exist, and at the age of middle and second stage, he still can't see the elegant demeanor of a grown man.

To sum it up briefly, he is an old cadre like Huo Jianhua, he is more funny than a child like Sun Yang, and he is "supercilious" like Huamanlou. He failed, failed!
Mingshu compared a "cross" in the dark, thinking that if she had another dream about Yan Ziqin tonight, she must have been demoted, and she must immediately go to the Taoist temple to ask for a magic talisman to hang on the bedside to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters .

So early the next morning, Ming Shu made a solemn decision to go to the Taoist temple.

Last night's dream was all about what Yan Ziqin was doing!Yan Ziqin who asked her for sweets, Yan Ziqin who forced her to write, Yan Ziqin who gave her artificial respiration, Yan Ziqin who was sanctimonious, Yan Ziqin who coded, Mingshu fell on the bed all of a sudden, calmed down for a long time, proved I have already woken up from the dream of "Yan Ziqin Theme Park" before I dared to go to the ground.

Chunxiu brought tea for rinsing mouth, which pot was left unopened and which pot was lifted, "Guan Yan..."

Before he finished speaking, Mingshu interrupted alertly: "What's wrong with him?"

Chunxiu said: "Gaodu came here the first morning. It seems that something was dug up from the burnt part of the northern city wall. The official went there first, and let the lady eat breakfast by herself."

Speaking of Gao Rui, the pink love in Chunxiu's eyes almost made Ming Shu a fan, and Ming Shu teased, "You treat Gao Rui...huh?"

Chunxiu naturally knew what she was talking about, she patted Ming Shu on the shoulder coquettishly, covered her face and ran away, yelling "hate, hate" along the way.

The girl in Huaichun didn't attack lightly or seriously, the tea choked in Ming Shu's throat, and she coughed while holding the bedpost until she was old enough to recover.Dressed up briefly, wearing narrow-sleeved gowns that are easy to move around, and a Shu brocade handkerchief on her head, Mingshu ordered people to prepare a sedan chair to go to the Taoist temple.

Du He, who had nothing to do, came over to join in the fun, "Which Taoist temple is Enniang going to, shall I escort you?"

After getting along for a month, Mingshu also knew that Du He was a cheap-mouthed person with no bad nature, so she said to him, "Go to the Baiyun Temple in the north of the city, and take a look at what your husband and the others found in the ruins of the shop."

"Husband and the others? You say that, as if there is more than one husband! You can't say that next time!" Du He began to speak seriously again.

Mingshu's veins bulged, and she endured for a long time before she could reproduce the stunt of "Lushan Shenglongba".

Mingshu's green cloth sedan was parked on the relatively clean road outside the rubble site. There were still many people digging on the ruins. A few broken columns were the remains of the original inn. Yan Ziqin was standing on a big stone He bent down to look at something, Gao Rui and many yamen servants surrounded him.

Picking a flat place along the way, Mingshu only regretted that she didn't wear boots, the black residual ash stained the lotus embroidered shoes she embroidered by herself.

"This should be an entrance. There are traces of man-made construction, but it is blocked." Before I got close, I heard Gao Rui's voice.

Yan Ziqin pondered for a while, and said: "Well, try to open the entrance, it seems that it leads to the outside of the city, it is a very important clue."

As soon as he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Mingshu, who was creeping around, and Mingshu was still gesturing to the people around to signal them to be quiet, but Yan Ziqin caught him, grinning, and came over as if nothing happened , It seems to be here to pick a cabbage.

Yan Ziqin's face darkened, and he was about to criticize education, but Du He rushed over, swung the long stick tied on his back, and shouted, "Isn't it just to remove the stone, I'll do it!"

As he said that, he stuffed the long stick under the stone as a lever, found a strong fulcrum and began to pry it hard.

"This stick is made of wood, can it work?" Ming Shu asked.

Du He called two yamen servants to come over to help, and they kept their hands on their hands, saying in their mouths: "The name of the stick is "one", with a stainless steel inner liner, and a layer of wooden lacquer on the outside, to deceive the enemy."

Mingshu was speechless, a name like "a stick" and pretending to be a wood to deceive people, this kind of thing can only be thought of by such a boring person as Du He.

Du He really had a way. He pried open the boulder three times and two times. The yamen servants began to clean up the gravel below, and the entrance of an underground passage gradually appeared.

"I'm afraid the inside of the secret passage will also be destroyed." Gao Rui was very worried.

"Not necessarily." Yan Ziqin said, "The Yu family doesn't have time to do it so meticulously, not to mention that they have done it well enough, otherwise we wouldn't have discovered the flaw after a month of digging, and replaced it with an impatient person, secretly doing things It will remain a mystery forever."

In the time it took to speak, the gravel blocking the entrance suddenly collapsed, and a four-room cave made of bluestone appeared in front of people. The cave was connected with a series of downward stone stairs, which became darker and darker as they went down.

The yamen servant lit a fire bag and threw it into the cave entrance. The fire flashed, and everyone was stunned by what appeared next.

The dark passage is full of dusty knives, guns, swords and halberds, as well as boxes of white-feathered arrows. It is actually a large-scale armory.
