Of All the Transmigrations, Why Am I a Prisoner?
Chapter 68: you don't fool yourself
After Yan Shu finished speaking with Zhong Li, he looked at Li Changtian, only to see him staring at him in shock.
"Huh? What?" Yan Shu asked.
"It's alright, alright." Li Changtian looked back in a panic, hiding his surprise.
"Where's Young Master Shen?" Yan Shu looked around, but saw no one.
"It's too late, he's back to the mansion." Li Changtian supported the carved wooden handrail of the soft couch, and stood up with some difficulty, "Where are we going now?"
"Go to see the owner of the shop." Yan Shu replied.
"it is good."
Zhong Li led the two out of the Yue Pavilion and walked into the Qinglu Pavilion.
Yan Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the thoughts in his heart gradually became clear.
On the first floor of Qinglu Pavilion, there was still only a golden-lacquered and vermilion stage.
It was a girl with a wooden carved hollow lantern in her hand and dressed in plain brocade clothes. The girl saluted the three of them, and then looked at Zhong Li and smiled: "The pavilion master of the Yue Pavilion, the master of the workshop said it's according to the rules."
Zhongli: "Yes..."
"It's okay." Yan Shu interrupted lightly, "Just follow the rules."
Zhong Li was helpless and had to say: "Master Yan, since that's the case, we can't accompany you up."
"Okay." Yan Shu replied, he turned to look at Li Changtian and said, "Thank you, wait for me a little longer."
"It's not hard work!" Li Changtian replied repeatedly, "Go! I'll be waiting for you here!"
Yan Shu's eyes were soft, he nodded, got up and followed the girl upstairs.
The girl took Yan Shu to a wing on the second floor of Qinglu Pavilion. She raised her hand and knocked on the door lightly three times, then pushed open the wing door: "Sir, our master is inside, I'll leave first."
After the girl finished speaking, she saluted and left with the lantern.
Yan Shu didn't hesitate, raised his legs and walked in.
It is still a dazzling array of treasures, and the fragrance is lingering.
The pavilion master of Qinglu Pavilion sat beside the sapphire tea table, closed her eyes, and cooked tea with a small red stove. She didn't raise her head, she just said, "Young master, we meet again."
"Fang master." Yan Shu saluted with fists.
"Young master is more polite, please sit down." Shi Huanian made a gesture of invitation.
Yan Shu didn't sit, he stood loose, his eyes were stern, he reached out and took out the jade-plated gold medal with the words 'inspector' written on his waist, and then held it up.
He looked at Shi Huanian and said solemnly: "Dali Temple, inspector, Yan Shu, please answer me a few questions about the disappearance of Mr. Xu Yixian, the servant of the Ministry of War, and the 100,000 silver taels for disaster relief."
Shi Hua Nian paused, gently lifted the tea-making vessel, and poured the boiling tea into the jade cup in front of him: "Master Yan, this is tea made with Kunlun snow water, it would be a pity if you don't taste it. ?"
"Have Fangzhu met Master Xu Yixian recently? Please answer me truthfully, without concealing anything." Yan Shu said sternly and loudly, and did not intend to talk to Shihuanian.
Shi Huanian smiled, raised his head and looked at Yan Shu: "Master Yan, are all the military departments of the Tian family like you? When it comes to serious business, it is serious, and there is no way to make a joke."
As she spoke, she picked up the jade cup, took a sip of the tea, and then continued: "I did see the Mr. Xu you mentioned, but it was already a month ago."
"A month ago?" Yan Shu put away his waist card and frowned slightly, "Why did Master Xu look for you? Is there anyone who is with you? Do you know where the 100,000 taels of disaster relief went?"
"Master Yan has so many questions, why did Master Xu look for me? Naturally, it's because I am a gentle town, and I came here to find some comfort." Shi Huanian pretended to be dissatisfied, but it was a joke. She put down the jade cup and looked up. Xiang Yanshu's expression gradually became serious, "Master Xu, he came to me alone, and said that he wanted to stay with me for a while, so I kept him. I don't know what's going on, but when Master Xu came to me, he did bring a box, a wooden box about ten inches long, does Master Yan want to know what's inside?"
"What is it?" Yan Shu asked with a frown.
Shi Hua Nian blinked and said, "During the time when Master Xu came to live here temporarily, I held the box every day, couldn't sleep well and couldn't eat, and kept talking nonsense, which made people suspicious. While he was asleep, he quietly opened the box, who knew it was inside..."
"It's a skull, a black skull with a faint stench."
Yan Shu's eyes widened slightly, showing a look of astonishment.
Shi Huanian lowered his eyes, took another sip of tea, and said, "After I found out, I drove him away because I was too scared."
"Kicked away? You kicked Master Xu out of Jinsefang?" Yan Shu repeated slowly, "Where did Master Xu go?"
Shi Huanian shook his head: "I don't know, in the end, I'm just a singing and dancing girl in Jinsefang, I just hope for a safe life, and I don't want to cause trouble."
Yan Shu stared at Shi Hua Nian with a probing gaze.
Shi Hua Nian was not afraid, and said, "What? Master Yan doesn't believe me? Is it possible to tie me to Kyoto and detain me in Dali Temple for questioning?"
"How long have Fangzhu and Lord Xu have known each other?" Yan Shu ignored Shi Huanian's question.
"..." Shi Huanian hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Seven years."
"Two years ago, a high-ranking official came to Baidi City to investigate the corruption case of the magistrate, but it was Master Xu?" Yan Shu's question was pressing step by step.
"I don't know any corruption case." Shi Huanian's tone became impatient.
"The Fangzhu once said that your favorite play is about the story of a girl in the city who met a high-ranking official, and the two fell in love." Yan Shu was aggressive, "I don't know if Fangzhu himself sang this play?"
"What if you sang?" Shi Huanian sneered, "In the end, it's not that he can't afford to climb high, and he abandoned me and returned to the capital. After all, it's just a passerby. I can't keep it, so of course I have to rush."
After saying a word, they both fell silent.
For a long time, Yan Shu clasped his fists: "Thank you Fangzhu, I believe in Fangzhu, but if Fangzhu conceals something, when we meet you in the future, don't blame Yan for being ruthless."
After speaking, Yan Shu solemnly saluted and turned to leave.
There was silence in the wing, only the sound of 'gulu gulu' made by the fire for tea. Shi Huanian got up and went to close the door. The moment the door of the wing was closed, she suddenly softened and held the door frame with lingering fears.
Shihuanian came to the Central Plains from Beidi and met all kinds of people. As the owner of Jinsefang Fang, she has also experienced many storms.
But it was the first time she had seen someone as cold as ice and awe-inspiring like Yan Shu.
Suddenly, someone stretched out his hand and supported Fangzhu.
It was a man in a gray cotton robe, he gently embraced Shi Hua Nian and said with a smile, "Abandoned you and returned to the capital? Didn't Madam reluctant to go back to this Jinsefang and refuse to return to the capital with me for seven years? "
Shi Huanian showed panic: "That inspector may not have gone far."
"Nothing, he has already gone downstairs. If he comes back, I will be aware of it." Xu Yixian said, "Actually, I am thinking, or I should meet this Lord Yan..."
"No!" Shi Huanian covered Xu Yixian's mouth, "If the inspector couldn't help but say that he was going to **** you back to the capital, what should you do? Now that the thirty-three Jinyi guards are dead, you can't argue with one another. It's a tiger's mouth! I'm afraid that those who hide in the dark will chew it up to the point where there are no bones left!"
"Hey..." Xu Yixian sighed, "But there's no way to hide like this. Han Ya knows that I'm not dead, so he will definitely kill me. I've been hiding in Jinsefang, and I'll implicate you..."
"I'm not afraid of being implicated! Just hide for ten or eight years, and this will be over, okay?" Shi Huanian begged.
Master Xu didn't answer, just said softly, "Please make me a cup of tea, Madam."
At this time, under the Qinglu Pavilion, Li Changtian and Zhong Li were chatting happily.
After Yan Shu left, Li Changtian and Zhongli stood together on the first floor of Qinglu Pavilion, waiting in silence. There was embarrassment in the silence, Li Changtian was trying his best to endure the pain from his abdomen, and suddenly heard Zhongli ask him, "How dare you ask your lord? "
Li Changtian quickly said his name.
"Master Li." Zhongli nodded, "Can Master Li, like Master Yan, be on duty at Dali Temple?"
"No, no." Li Changtian shook his head, "I'm not an official, I'm just a plain-headed commoner who follows Yan Shu."
"A flat-headed commoner following Lord Yan?" Zhong Li looked very surprised.
"Yes, follow him, if you can help him a little bit, if you don't help him, just mix." Li Changtian said.
Zhong Li blinked his eyes in astonishment, and after a long time he slowly said, "Lord Yan seems to be getting more and more human..."
"Ah? Being human? What do you mean?" Li Changtian asked.
Zhong Li said, "Three years ago, I had the honor to serve Master Yan for half a month..."
Li Changtian: "Serve, serve, serve? Cough, cough, serve?"
Seeing Li Changtian panicking and stammering for a moment, and hurriedly covering it up, Zhong Li couldn't help but smile: "Don't get me wrong, Young Master Li, I'm just serving tea and water and doing some chores for a book boy. My father was originally a foreign official. Later, I was involved in the party dispute of the regent, Han Ya, and unfortunately I was put on death row, and because of this, I ended up in a ruined family. Because of my good looks, I was spy on by thieves and sent to the brothel."
"Ah..." Li Changtian showed a sad look on his face.
"Three years ago, Mr. Yan served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He turned over the unsolved and suspected cases that were made by the regent Han Ya, and tried them again. He also found me in Manchun Courtyard." Zhong Li said softly, "Manchun Courtyard was deep in water, but Master Yan was not afraid of power and did his best to redeem me. It can be said that Master Yan is my savior."
"So it is." Li Changtian nodded.
"Later, I didn't want to stay in the sad place of Kyoto anymore, so I came to Baidi City alone." Zhong Li said, showing a look of regret and depression, "Master Yan must have never thought that when he saw me again, it was still Fengyue. Come on, a person as noble and clean as a bright moon and plum, like Master Yan, is really incomparable to me, who is filthy and trapped in a ditch..."
"Don't say that." Li Changtian snorted softly, "Why are you beating yourself up? You're all living in peace, and you're divided into high and low? As long as you do what you do, it won't hurt others and won't touch the bottom line of morality. Then it's not your turn to talk too much, let alone belittle yourself."
Zhong Li stared blankly at Li Changtian, and it took a long time for him to react, and he said softly, "Young Master Li... worthy of being a friend of Lord Yan..."
As soon as Zhong Li finished speaking, Li Changtian suddenly swayed, as if he would fall down at any time.
"Master Li? What's wrong with you?" Zhong Li was so frightened that he quickly reached out to help him.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Li Changtian took a deep breath, waved his hand, and stood still.
Just as Zhong Li was about to ask more questions, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs. He turned his head to look, and saw Yan Shu walking down.
