In the side room, next to the red sandalwood bookshelf is a desk with brush and ink, and beside the table is a blue and white porcelain. Looking back from the porcelain, it is an agarwood canopy bed with a golden silk curtain.
Zhong Li closed the door tightly and closed the window, asked Yan Shu to sit down, poured tea for Yan Shu with his own hands, "My lord, don't blame me for being cautious."
Yan Shu took the tea, took a sip, and felt the fragrance filled his mouth. He couldn't help feeling a good tea in his heart, and said, "It's good to be cautious."
"Recently, there has been mixed fish and dragons in Baidi City and Jinsefang. It's not peaceful. Many ghosts and snake spirits are looking for news." Zhong Li sat down beside Yan Shu, "Master Yan is not the only one who wants to see the owner of the workshop."
Yan Shu frowned, remembering that 'Shadow' told him earlier that there were 'Jackdaws' in Baidi City.
Could it be that Han Ya is also looking for Mr. Xu
Yan Shu originally thought that Master Xu and the thirty-three Jin Yiwei might have encountered some natural or man-made disaster, so there was no news.
But thinking about it now, the disappearance of 100,000 relief money is not as simple as it seems.
What exactly did Master Xu say in his last letter to the court
Why did this letter disappear for no reason
Was it lost on the road? Or was he stopped by others when he was notified to the court in Kyoto
How many forces in the imperial court are staring at this matter.
Seeing that Yan Shu's brows were still unfurled, Zhongli called him softly: "Lord Yan, don't worry too much, don't worry about your body."
Yan Shu came back to his senses: "Please tell me about Jinse Fang and its owner."
Zhongli nodded and said, "The owner of the workshop is not from the Central Plains. She was originally a princess of a different race in Beidi. Later, during the civil war in Beidi, the clan to which the owner belonged was unfortunately wiped out. The owner fled to the Central Plains and entered Jinsefang again."
Yan Shu nodded.
Beidi is a nomadic people. Because of the lack of resources and barren land, they have always been warlike and plundering. However, three years ago, Beidi achieved reunification, and now occupies an area and is king.
"The original name of the workshop owner is Asna, which is the name of a flower in Beidi language. Seven years ago, after the workshop owner took over Jinsefang, she changed her name from the Central Plains to Shihuanian after she took over Jinsefang. As a princess of a foreign race, she was wandering in the Central Plains, in order to survive, after entering Jinsefang, she worked hard to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting of the Central Plains, and managed the Jinsefang in an orderly manner.” Zhongli told what he knew. Come on.
Yan Shu nodded, and suddenly asked: "Then have you ever heard her talk about Master Xu?"
"Master Xu?" Zhong Li was puzzled.
"Minister of the Ministry of War, Xu Yixian, Master Xu."
Zhong Li thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I haven't heard the owner mention it, but the Minister of the Ministry of War..." Zhong Li pondered.
"What's wrong?" Yan Shu asked.
Zhongli said: "Master Yan, you also know that Jinsefang is a big tree, so it will naturally attract some monsters and ghosts. There was an incident in Jinsefang two years ago. There was a girl in Fengge who was brought out by the third son of the magistrate of Baidi City. After leaving Jinsefang, who knows that when people come back, it is already gone."
"No more?" Yan Shu frowned slightly.
Zhongli nodded: "The girl's body is full of bruises and wounds, but the third son of the Zhifu insisted that the girl accidentally fell into the dry well of their house and fell to her death. Later, the Zhifu planned to use money to make peace, but the owner didn't ask for money. But I didn't say much, after all, we are just a singing and dancing studio, how could we possibly win against the court officials."
"Unexpectedly, three months later, the magistrate was found out for corruption and bribery by the high officials from the court, and he was imprisoned. All the evil things his family had done before were also revealed." Zhongli said, "I remember that The senior officials who came down are from the Ministry of War..."
Yan Shu pondered.
Mr. Xu has passed his age, but he has never married a wife and had children.
This is also one of the reasons why he was suspected of embezzling silver by the court.
Could it be that he really stole one hundred thousand taels of silver and hid it in Jinse Fang, intending to hide his crime with Shi Huanian
"I want to see Fangzhu." Yan Shu raised his head and looked at Zhongli.
Zhongli got up, took a wooden box from the red sandalwood bookshelf, took out a jade tablet engraved with the word 'moon' from it, and handed it to Yan Shu: "Master Yan, this is the token of the Moon Pavilion, I will lead you to find the other three. The Lord of the Pavilion..."
"No need." Yan Shu said, "I've already collected everything."
Zhong Li was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes showed admiration and approval: "As expected of Lord Yan, please come with me, Lord Yan."
-
The door of the side room creaked, and Li Changtian, who was sitting on the soft couch in the cabinet, quickly withdrew his hand from his stomach and looked up.
Yan Shu and Zhong Li walked out side by side while talking.
"Thanks for meeting you on this trip." Yan Shu said, "Thank you."
"My lord, you don't have to thank me." Zhongli said hastily, "Three years ago, my lord redeemed me from the Manchun Courtyard. Now my body and life belong to my lord."
Yan Shu: "It's serious, Jinsefang is a romantic place after all. When this case is over, I'll take you back to the capital."
Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, muttered for a while, but didn't say a word.
Li Changtian on the side was also startled, he suddenly remembered Shen Yushu's words.
"Yan Shu is very masculine! And he had a relationship with the master of the Moon Pavilion before!"
Hey, shit...
Could it be that Shen Yushu was really right? !
