Sleeping in the middle of the night, Yan Sikong was suddenly awakened by someone shaking, he unconsciously muttered "Fengye", turned around and fell asleep again.
Shaking his hand, he paused for a moment, but became more violent, and at the same time scolded in a low voice: "Nanyu, wake me up!"
Hearing this name, Yan Sikong was shocked immediately. With difficulty, he opened his eyes two slits, and saw a familiar handsome face from his blurred vision, yes, the only person who can call him by this name is...
With a cold face, She Zhun pulled him up from the collapsed bed, and said mockingly: "I never forget to call your little prince when I sleep, it's really affectionate."
Yan Sikong was fully awake, he wiped his face vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "No one will notice you."
"How many people can find me." She Zhun said with displeasure.
"...don't call me that name again." Yan Sikong said. "Nanyu" was the pseudonym he used back then, and he didn't tell She Zhun his real name until he was about to take the examination for fame.
"Master Yan." She Zhun threw a heavy package into his arms, "You should need it."
Yan Sikong opened the bag, and inside were dozens of manuscripts, official documents, and letters belonging to Ge Zhong and Chen Huan. Looking at these things, he fell into deep thought.
She Zhun crossed Erlang's legs and sat in the chair: "I only stayed in Jingzhou for three full months because of you. How can you thank me later?"
"There must be a lot of thanks." Yan Sikong said calmly.
A gleam of anger flashed in She Zhun's eyes: "I'm afraid you and that little prince are like glue? What, a ruthless person like you, is it possible that you are tempted?"
Yan Sikong rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said casually: "Over the years, when have I ever made a mistake in my actions, what are you worried about, I have my own plans."
"It's better to be like this." She Zhun snorted coldly, "Don't ruin our big business because of him."
Yan Sikong said: "How is Ge Zhong? Is he really sick?"
"It's sick, but it looks like it won't die."
"Illness and death will not be cheap for him." Yan Sikong held the manuscript secretly, his eyes were cold and sinister, "I want him to repay everything my father suffered back then."
She Zhun said coldly: "Taking this opportunity, get rid of that dog as well."
"No." Yan Sikong shook his head, "It's easy to deal with Ge Zhong alone this time, but Xie Zhongren is far away in the capital, and secondly, he has deep roots in the court and has many party members. If he is involved, this matter will definitely happen. It will be thoroughly investigated, and then the eunuch will be so cunning that even Ge Zhong will be proven innocent by him, and I will be helpless."
A ferocious look flashed across She Zhun's face, and he took a deep breath: "Then what should I do?"
"This time it is only aimed at Ge Zhong alone, but in the letter, it must be revealed that Xie Zhongren may have known about Chen Huan's treason in advance. Then, in order to protect himself, the eunuch will definitely make trouble for Ge Zhong, and the emperor will also treat the eunuch more or less." The thief is suspicious and dissatisfied."
She Zhun remained silent.
Yan Sikong looked at She Zhun with cold and resolute eyes: "She Zhun, there is absolutely no way I will let Xie Zhongren go, it's just that the time has not come yet, so I can't scare the snake away."
She Zhun nodded: "Listen to you."
Yan Sikong got out of bed: "After I leave tomorrow, you put the things on the table into Ge Zhong and Chen Huan's mansion."
"Ge Zhong's is fine. Prince Liang's mansion has been besieged, and no flies can fly in. It's up to you."
"it is good.
She Zhun got up, pushed open the window, thought for a while, and then said: "Be careful in everything."
"The same to you."
She Zhun disappeared without a sound.
Yan Sikong put the candlestick on the table, spread out the manuscripts one by one, selected useful words from them to imitate, and spent most of the night forging several secret letters between Ge Zhong and Chen Huan.
Back then Ge Zhong convicted Yuanmao based on a forged letter from Li Boyun. From then on, he swore that he would punish him in his own way, so he painstakingly studied the imitation of human handwriting, and now It was a casual thing, and he couldn't wait to see the despair and pain on Ge Zhong's face.
—
It was early morning after Yan Sikong finished his work, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep at his desk until the knock on the door woke him up.
He hurriedly sat up, looked at the mess on the table, and said while tidying up, "Who is it?"
"Master Yan, are you awake?" Feng Ye's voice came from outside the door.
"The lower official's appearance is not neat, please wait a moment, son."
Feng Ye's low laughter came from outside the door.
Yan Sikong hurriedly stuffed the manuscripts under the bed, and put those that needed to be approved by She under the candlestick.
Feng Ye became impatient: "Not yet?"
Yan Sikong then went to open the door.
Feng Ye gave him a puzzled look, and walked into the house: "What are you busy with?"
"Just woke up." Yan Sikong yawned.
Feng Ye looked around, and frowned slightly: "Has anyone else been here before?" A martial arts practitioner has extremely keen senses, and he felt that there was something unusual in the room, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Yan Sikong's heart skipped a beat, he yawned again, and while wiping his face with a cloth towel, he said, "No way."
"Did you not sleep well last night?"
"It's very good. I've been so tired these days. When I wake up at dawn, just sleeping for one night is not enough to relieve my fatigue. I'm still very tired." Yan Sikong turned to put on his coat.
Feng Ye walked to the bed, bent down suddenly, and touched the bed with his hands. It was cold, and his eyes darkened.
Yan Sikong tidied his clothes before turning around: "Have you had breakfast? Are you going to visit Mr. Ge now?"
"...I'm waiting for you, let's go downstairs to eat." Feng Ye stared at Yan Sikong with a pair of dark eyes.
"Let's go." Yan Sikong also looked at him, waiting for him to leave the room first, otherwise he would not feel at ease.
The two looked at each other and flicked their fingers, thinking about each other, and then went downstairs one after the other.
After breakfast, they went to the Governor's Mansion together with Liang Guang.
When the concierge led them into the mansion, Yan Sikong imagined that he would see Ge Zhong soon, and his breathing became more and more depressed. His fists were clenched in his sleeves, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. Great concentration.
"Master Yan, are you okay?" Seeing Yan Sikong's pale face, Feng Ye was full of doubts. From early to now, Yan Sikong's series of actions were very unusual.
Yan Sikong shook his head: "I feel a little unwell, it's nothing serious."
Eleven years ago, Feng Ye was only eight years old, so naturally he would not have known that Ge Zhong was the inspector censor who tried the Yuanmao case back then. He was very fortunate that Feng Ye did not know, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to make a move.
Suddenly, a man with white temples and white temples walked out of the room. He was thin and had a hooked nose. He seemed to be sick. His eyes were sunken and his face was sallow.
Yan Sikong seemed to be punched by someone in the chest, his body stopped, his heart throbbed, and his mind went blank for a while.
Ge Zhong!
Eleven years have passed, and this person's face is still deeply imprinted in front of his eyes, and he can recognize it at a glance!
Ge Zhong cupped his hands and saluted from afar: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liang, I welcome you from afar."
"Oh, Mr. Ge." Liang Guang said hurriedly, "Mr. Ge is just recovering from a serious illness, why should you be so polite?"
Feng Ye also cupped his hands: "Master Ge."
Yan Sikong stared at Ge Zhong steadfastly, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into a cave of ice, the ends of his hair were so cold that their roots collapsed, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
This despicable old man, he wished he could eat his flesh and sleep his skin now!
"Lord Yan?" Feng Ye stared at Yan Sikong who was stunned on the spot with wide eyes, and couldn't help pushing him, "If your body is not in harmony, go back and rest."
Yan Sikong came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He unfolded his sleeve robe, bowed deeply to Ge Zhong, and said slowly in a gloomy voice, "I will see you, the governor."
"Who is this?" Ge Zhong looked at Yan Sikong.
Liang Guangdao: "This is Master Yan Sikong Yan, a Jinshi of the two ranks, who is currently studying for the prince. This time, he made a document with the army and went to Kuizhou as an envoy. He has repeatedly offered good strategies and made a lot of contributions."
"Oh, Mr. Yan is really a young talent. It's a pleasure to meet you." Ge Zhong looked Yan Sikong up and down, and felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember anything.
Yan Sikong said: "I don't dare to be an official. I'm not feeling well, and I'm in a trance. I hope the governor will forgive me."
"It's okay, I've just recovered from a serious illness, and I'm very empty." Ge Zhong smiled, "Your Majesty, you two, please take your seat."
Feng Ye and Yan Sikong walked behind, he lowered his voice and said: "Go back and ask the medical officer to get you side medicine, I think you are about to faint, I knew I wouldn't bring you here."
Yan Sikong waved his hand: "It's just that I'm too tired, so I'll have a good rest tonight, it will definitely be fine."
After taking his seat, Ge Zhong asked about the situation on the front line with concern, and Liang Guang also told the truth.
Mentioning Chen Huan, Ge Zhong sighed frequently.
Yan Sikong took the opportunity to say: "I heard that the governor and the king of Liang used to have a good relationship?"
Ge Zhong said solemnly: "I am an official in Lianghu, and I do have a personal relationship with King Liang, but he is so rebellious and rebellious, I can't tolerate him."
Yan Sikong praised: "Your Excellency is deeply aware of righteousness, and he spares his life to uphold innocence. This kind of loyal and virtuous heart runs through the day, which is an example for my Dasheng officials."
Ge Zhong cupped his hands and said: "The sun and the moon can be used as a lesson. As a minister, you should put your heart and soul into it, and repay Your Majesty's great kindness with your heart."
Several people complimented each other.
Liang Guang also mentioned the chaos in Jingzhou City, and he wanted to discuss with Ge Zhong how to rectify the army and civilians, and how to mobilize grain and grass to transport to Dongting Lake.
Yan Sikong watched Ge Zhong silently, as if watching a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
