Xuan Tea House is the most elegant tea tasting place in Ruoshui and a place where officials gather. The fundamental reason is that Xuan Tea House has another purpose - it is the most secret and airtight place in the world.
The long planning before Wei Zixu became the prince was also carried out in Xuanchafang. But now, under Mo Fei's careful planning, the princelings' elders have already died, and the prince's position seems to be indestructible, but in fact it is like decay.
, it’s just a glamorous appearance.
A dark blue carriage stopped outside the door of Xuancha House, and the tea house boy immediately ran over to greet it. Ge Yiyan first stuck his head out, looked warily to both sides, lifted a corner of the door curtain, and wore a thin black dark pattern.
Murphy in a cloak got out of the car.
The owner of the tea house opened the door and walked in. He bent down to salute and said with a smile, "Master Mo has not been here for many days. This visit really makes Xuan Tea House shine! This small Xiangge restaurant has been taken care of.
The adults' favorite Ziluo Xingyi incense is added every three days, and Jiangnan Qingyu is always ready to ensure that this incense pavilion can welcome adults at all times, and the little ones dare not slack off."
Ge Yiyan snorted coldly and muttered, "Flattery!"
Mo Fei couldn't help but twitch his nose, and his eyes were immediately attracted to the neatly arranged tea sets on the tea table. Under the slightly tilted tea cover, a wisp of ethereal steam slowly came out, and the elegant aroma hit his nose. Mo Fei
The smile on Fei's face gradually deepened, "It is indeed Jiangnan Qingyu, and the owner of the shop is really concerned about it. I wonder if this Jiangnan Qingyu was picked and made a few days ago?"
The shop owner nodded and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are very wise. This tea must be picked before the Qingming Festival. It only needs one bud and one leaf. Only those with the highest skill can make it at the best time. The tea here is of the highest quality."
Mo Fei said with satisfaction: "You can smell the unique aroma without tasting it. It is indeed an extraordinary tea. But I wonder how prepared this tea is?"
The owner of the shop was stunned for a long time, and then asked tremblingly: "What do you mean, sir...are you having guests today?"
Mo Fei smiled and said nothing, Ge Yiyan ordered: "I want you to be more prepared, where does all this nonsense come from!"
The shop owner said yes repeatedly and immediately left. From time to time, someone sent Jiangnan Qingyu. Mo Fei glanced at the crack in the door, drank a cup of tea by himself, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After three cups of tea, Ge Yiyan could no longer sit still. He was sweating profusely and couldn't help but open the door to take a look. Just when he was about to complain, he heard a slow pace approaching. Ge Yiyan hurriedly gave way.
He came out and stood aside obediently to greet him.
Liang Luan ignored the people at the door and walked straight to Mo Fei, sitting down without invitation. He waved his robe and looked so elegant that even Ge Yiyan, who had always had a cold face, moved his mind.
"My lord invited me here, do you still have the time to have some leisurely tea?"
Mo Fei smiled and said: "Otherwise? Is it possible to kill him?"
"It's not easy to kill Zuo Qing!" Ge Yiyan said excitedly: "I have long said that Zuo Qing cannot be trusted, but you treat him like your own son. I can't figure out what you see in him.
!”
"Zuo Qing is smarter than you and Ke'er, and both have means. Isn't that enough?" The more Mo Fei talked, the more he wanted to laugh. The adopted son he had devoted all his efforts to cultivate was actually here to avenge himself. How ridiculous!
Ge Yiyan was still unconvinced: "So what, betrayal is betrayal!"
Liang Luan hurriedly smoothed things over: "The young master singer is still smart. Your uncle should encourage him more."
"Let's not talk about it for now. You said you heard something. This place is hidden and no one will eavesdrop. Tell me."
Liang Luan came closer to him and said: "That night, the spy wrote that the origins of Su Yan and her master were unknown, so I sent someone to ask a few friends from Jianghu. Generally speaking, people with vague backgrounds like this are mostly related to Jianghu.
Hook, sure enough, I found Su Ming! This man is a martial arts prodigy who has always been a solitary seeker in the world. But one year he disappeared. In the same year, in the palace of Kyoto, under Ge Zheng's sect, there was a man named Su Ming.
Guard."
"Who?" Ge Yiyan asked.
"Su Ming, don't you know about your bodyguard?" Liang Luan turned to him and said.
"Su Ming?" Ge Yiyan racked his brains before he remembered such a number one person. He patted his head and said, "I remembered that this person once served as a commander in the patrol army! But then he suddenly disappeared.
, there is still no trace.”
Liang Luan said: "You also have a sister named Ge Muyan. Su Ming disappeared when you ran away from home. Do you think this is a coincidence? The Mr. Su in Qishans Academy now also has the same surname.
Sue.”
Ge Yiyan suddenly realized: "Su Yan...Ge Muyan..." He suddenly rushed to Liang Luan, "Is everything you said true?"
"Why bother to lie?"
"Su Yan? Su Yan! It turns out it's her!" Ge Yiyan said her name repeatedly. That strange person, her half-sister who had been away for ten years, was actually right in front of her!
He remembered his father's preference for that person and his neglect of himself when he was a child. When he thought of him, he gritted his teeth with hatred!
Murphy was afraid that if he went out and acted wildly, he would ruin his career, so he stretched out his hand to drag him to the ground and warned: "You'd better give me a better life. Have you forgotten how you were dismissed? What if?"
If you go out and talk nonsense, watch your skin carefully!"
Ge Yiyan came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Mo Fei asked Liang Luan: "Did you find out why she suddenly came back?"
Liang Luan shook his head: "But it is certain that it was no accident that he brought Su Yan back. The prince's daughter and the orphan of the Xuan family is not a kind person! Could it be that Ge Zheng's retirement is just an act?"
Mo Fei fell into deep thought. He had not thought of the fire for almost many years, and he had almost forgotten the appearance of Queen Yu. He had always thought that everything was perfect, but Ge Zheng's daughter and Zuo Qing joined forces to take revenge. Could it be that what happened ten years ago still happened?
Does anyone know?
Xuanqing?Ge Zheng?
Mo Fei closed his eyes in pain, pondered for a moment, and said to Liang Luan: "I want you to help me deal with someone first."
"Who?"
"Chang Sun Wu Zheng!"
Liang Luan was a little embarrassed for a moment: "He? Didn't he just arrest our people? What are you going to do to win him over?"
"After Tan Cen was beheaded, His Majesty appointed candidates recommended by the prince. Now there are very few people available for the three provinces and six ministries. This eldest grandson Wu Zheng prides himself on being noble, but in fact he is very realistic, but he has good abilities. If he can find a breakthrough, he can do it for himself
It can be regarded as a good chess piece."
Liang Luan came up with a plan: "I'm afraid Changsun Wuzheng will be difficult to deal with. We still have to start with Changsun Yue, but instead of doing it ourselves, we will kill with a borrowed knife."
"It seems you have a plan." Mo Fei finally felt a little comforted and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"Chang Sun Yue has always been kind to others, but..." Liang Luan looked at Mo Fei, "Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely give you the most satisfactory result."
Mo Fei usually had a lot of trust in Liang Luan, but this time he actively made suggestions, and with the ineffective Ge Yiyan on the side as a negative example, he was very impressed. He nodded and agreed.
Mo Fei thought of something else and told Ge Yiyan: "Go and keep an eye on the academy, especially Su Yan, see who she interacts with on weekdays, and report them every day. Don't expose them."
Ge Yiyan was very excited and quickly agreed.
A figure flashed outside the door. While everyone was immersed in the conspiracy, the figure jumped onto the roof, climbed over the back alley, and disappeared on the second floor of Yunlai Pavilion.
The wind and rain are swaying, the world is unpredictable; people are lonely, and the summer nights are short.
Qishan Academy has always advocated treating students well and treating teachers well. This positive and positive culture has a long history and has not been abandoned until now. Therefore, during every New Year and festival, there will always be great efforts to reward the students.
By the way, he set up a tent to give porridge and spread good deeds. The first was encouragement, the second was rules, and the third was appearance. Who made Emperor Rong so proud that he tried every means to tell neighboring countries how prosperous his industry was and how much he loved the people.
Therefore, as the Dragon Boat Festival approached, the college started to do good deeds again. The four classes suspended classes one after another, and each took their own students to run around Ruoshui, giving porridge, going to the doctor, and rebuilding. It was very lively. But at this time, the city closest to Ruoshui City
A famine suddenly broke out in Hongji Town, and the district academies were naturally unable to cope with it, so they had to help the local government. The county magistrate opened a warehouse to provide relief for the time being. However, the county government's small amount of grain storage was only a drop in the bucket. Over time, the granary
Seeing the bottom, the imperial court became the only straw. But the imperial court was not having a good time either. Enemies on the border were coveting them, and wars had been frequent in recent days. The imperial court had emptied most of the national treasury to replenish military pay.
There was a famine, and I was really helpless for a while. Liang Luan, the Minister of Zhongshu Province, was in an important position, so naturally he couldn't escape the trouble of making plans. He ran around, collected donations, and even persuaded officials to open their own treasury. After a few days, the iron roosters who usually never plucked a dime were stunned.
He forced out tens of thousands of his family wealth. To show fairness, he also gave away some of his family wealth. In this way, the famine was temporarily alleviated, but it only made a lot of officials suffer and left their wallets empty. In the end, it was Liang Luan who was awarded the prize by Emperor Rong.
Get the best deal.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. Liang Luan made great efforts in disaster relief, which relieved the sufferings of the people and the king's urgent needs. Although Emperor Rong did not promote him to any official position, he specially gave him a seven-story tribute from the Yan State.
The exquisite glazed stupa shows the importance that the king attaches to his ministers, and allows officials to see the benefits of contributing to the court.
It took craftsmen nearly half a year to build the Linglong Pagoda, and the relics have been enshrined in the Buddhist temple of Yan State for more than a hundred years, which shows how precious they are.
But in the end, Liang Luan did not accept such a great reward. Instead, he asked Emperor Rong to reward Su Yan with Shu Youtang, saying that he played the most important role in disaster relief and was loved by the people. He was a model for the academy and a woman in the world.
If he can be commended by His Majesty again, he will be in compliance with the people's wishes...
Within an hour, Liang Luan personally escorted a reward to Qishan Academy.
Passing through the corridor, they saw Su Yan and Fo Zha sitting cross-legged and playing games under a tree from a distance. The entourage was about to raise his voice, but was restrained by the adults next to him. The three of them waited quietly in the distance, waiting for the tree
The winner is determined by the points below.
A clear voice was heard from behind: "I wonder what you call this lord?" Ah Yu nervously saluted Liang Luan and his party.
Su Yan heard the sound and hurriedly threw away the cloud to welcome him, "I didn't know that Mr. Liang was coming, but he was not far away to greet you!" He said and arched his hand towards him.
Liang Luan waved his hand, and the entourage slightly raised the tray in his hand. The items on the tray were covered with red silk cloth, "Your Majesty has a reward. Mr. Su has contributed to disaster relief. It is the academy's example. He has specially given the seventh floor of Yan State's tribute."
The exquisite glazed stupa." Liang Luan opened the cloth and revealed the true appearance of the treasure. The body of the stupa was extremely clear and the color was soft.
Su Yan hurriedly knelt down, but his arms were supported by a pair of hands. Liang Luan's voice came from above his head: "Your Majesty said, Mr. Su is a rare and rare woman in Rongguo, whether it is her mind, courage, or her personality.
The abilities are beyond the reach of ordinary people. So you don’t have to kneel down and receive it while standing.”
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. It's all within your bounds. However, the disaster relief work is not due to me alone, but to the Academy, three provinces and six departments. Why did Your Majesty only reward me?"
"Your Majesty naturally rewarded them all, but Mr. Su received a unique reward."
"What about Zuo...Xilou and the others?" Su Yan tried to hide his panic and asked pretending to be calm.
"Your Majesty naturally has a decision. Sister Su, why should you be persistent anymore?" Fo Zhen said to her from a distance, his voice was as clear as ice spring. Liang Luan was shocked and subconsciously looked at her, his mind was confused.
Su Yan inadvertently saw Liang Luan's strange expression and suddenly discovered something, but did not mention it. He only said: "Why did you come to deliver the order in person? Isn't this embarrassing me?"
Liang Luan hurriedly recovered his thoughts: "Eunuch Cheng'en went elsewhere to announce the decree, and I am also idle. In addition, I also used the treasure to come here to see who the rumored Mr. Su is!"
Su Yan smiled and said: "Master Liang, you are overly complimentary. I am truly honored to be praised by Your Majesty and Your Majesty... However, it would be unfair to place such a valuable reward in my room. It would be better to place it in Duanyunxuan or..."
"Mr. Su, there is no need to refuse. You can keep it with peace of mind and place it in the school. It has the miraculous effect of calming the mind, driving away evil spirits and bringing blessings." Liang Luan smiled brightly and was very approachable. "This is also your Majesty's expectation. I hope the academy can provide the imperial court with
The endless supply of materials that can be made creates the greatest hope for the future of Rong Country!"
"Your Majesty has high hopes, I will do my best!" Su Yan said, looking at the Linglong Tower, thinking about placing it in the center of the school tomorrow so that all the students can enjoy it. As he was looking forward to it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liang Luan from the corner of his eye.
The strange look in Liang Luan's eyes was both hurried and concealing. So she glanced at him twice more, and sure enough, a strange color flashed in Liang Luan's eyes, and then she said with an easy-going smile: "Mr. Su, my beloved daughter is here.
Shu Youtang has been there for some time, and Mr. Lao Su has taken good care of her. If she does anything improper, please ask someone to inform her, and I will punish her severely." He motioned to his entourage to present something, "I also have something, but I can't do it.
Respectfully, I’m sorry to trouble you, Mr. Su.”
On the other side, another young man dressed as an entourage came forward to present something. It was a lacquered wood square box containing a pair of agate bracelets. The quality was considered to be of high quality. However, the poor gentleman had an extra pair in his hand.
Isn't the bracelet delivered to someone's door for others to speculate on?
Su Yan looked at him alertly and pretended to smile, but in his heart he was sorting out the clues that were too small to be seen. On the surface, he accepted the gift very calmly, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, sir, I will definitely collect it."
, live up to your kindness."
"Then, my dear daughter, please trouble Mr. Su. I have other important matters, so I won't accompany you for the time being."
"Sir, walk slowly."
Su Yan watched him leave and completely disappear into the yard before walking back to the chessboard.
"You are very worried, what are you thinking about?" Fozhen asked her. Su Yan sat cross-legged and realized that just a moment later, Fozhen had played a game of chess with himself. There was no winner or lose, but the situation became increasingly difficult to solve.
Su Yan frowned while looking at the chess game, then turned to look at the box that Liang Luan had sent. He suddenly stood up and told Ah Fu in a panic, "Send this to Yan Zhen's place."
"Ah?!" Ah Yu thought he heard wrongly, "Sir, why do you want to give it to the general? Ah Yu has never seen such a good agate bracelet!"
But Fo Zha understood its meaning and smiled without saying a word.
Su Yan took another two steps, turned to her and said, "No, just throw it into the ditch behind your house after nightfall. The deeper the better!"
"Ah?!" Amin's voice became louder again, and he quickly snatched away the box, clenched his fists, frowned, and said firmly, "Sir, no, this is a gift from Mr. Liang. If you let him know that you lost the bracelet,
, not yet…”
"Just do as you are told, your husband has his own plans." Fo Zhen said to A'ma.
Imam said, reluctant to leave.
"Then what are you going to do with this exquisite pagoda?" Fo Zhao's tone seemed to be asking a very common thing.
Su Yan looked worried: "Did you also notice? His Majesty's decree just now did not specify how to deal with Linglong Tower, but he specifically asked me to put it in the school. If it weren't for his later expression and behavior that betrayed him, because of that set
I’m afraid I’ve been fooled by just one set of words!”
"You still observe so carefully?"
"He said he came to see me specially, but when you spoke, he couldn't turn his eyes away! How could such a petty person like him lower his status just because a teacher became famous?
Isn’t it unreasonable to pay a visit and come here specifically on behalf of the eunuch who delivers the order? If it’s not because you came here specially, it’s because you have another purpose, and it’s not because of me anyway.”
Fo Zhao pinched Yunzi, but he didn't let go: "Oh? Then tell me, what is his purpose?"
Su Yan grabbed a cloud and tapped it gently on the chessboard, "He first sent the reward to the eunuch who passed the order, and then deliberately got close to him. After I noticed something strange about him, he quickly gave me a bracelet to divert my attention... I'm afraid this bracelet is...
It was specially used to confuse me, and Liang Qiluo too. They were all his tools to make me think that he was just building a good relationship for his daughter. In this way, the most important thing could be missed - Linglong Tower! But he
Miscalculation, I am not the kind of person who is easily deceived and bribed!"
Fo Zhen sneered: "A foolproof plan has no room for error, but he thought it was perfect, but he used the trick on the wrong person. Ha, this is to frame the situation and stir up trouble in the academy."
"We all thought of the same place! He wanted to trick me into putting the Linglong Tower in the school. There are many people in the school, and there will inevitably be fights and collisions. Once the Linglong Tower is damaged, I will suffer!" She thought about it again, and felt that it didn't make sense.
Qing Li said, "But why should they care about me, a little person? Liang Luan and I have no personal enmity, so why would he harm me..."
The cloud in Fozhen's hand fell on the chessboard, and her expression gradually became serious: "He is just a counselor who makes plans, and the one who kills may not be you."
"You mean, the person behind this is... Mo Fei?" Su Yan thought calmly for a long time and came to the most likely conclusion: "In this huge academy, except for Xilou and Zuo Qing, they are just fledgling children.
, Mr. Sitang has no direct interest in him. To be honest, Mo Fei will not provoke such a hard rock. Xilou has always kept a low profile... Zuo Qing!"
Fo Zhen said meaningfully: "There are no absolute enemies in the world, let alone absolute relatives."
The more Su Yan thought about it, the more frightened he became. What kind of person was Mo Fei to be so suspicious? Suspicious people are always cruel and cruel!
"Perhaps, he has already begun to suspect it, but there is no evidence. So, he wants to test it, and let me use my hand to test him."
"How to use Linglong Pagoda to test?" Fo Zha still felt that it didn't make sense.
"God knows!" Su Yan felt more and more frightened, yet inexplicably looking forward to it.
With a 'click' sound, the white piece in Fo Zhen's hand fell down, with a victorious smile on his lips, "If you don't play with me, I can only replace you with my left hand. Now that my right hand has won, what do you think is the way to give money?"
How could Su Yan still have the time to play with this? He said absently: "In his plan, I should pay tribute to Linglong Pagoda tomorrow. Then something will happen tomorrow. I want to see how they want to frame me and what they want to do."
How can they use my hand to achieve their dirty goals!"
Fo Zhen looked up at her, his eyes seeming to penetrate her thoughts: "You forgot one thing."
"What's up?"
"You must be very concerned about the gifts given by His Majesty. How could you let the students collide with each other? How could Liang Luan not send someone to add fuel to the flames in order to frame him for success?"
Su Yan suddenly realized: "You mean...Liang Qiluo?"
Buddha said this, and then asked: "If one day, Zuo Qing becomes a person like Mo Fei, what will you do?"
When Su Yan heard her ask Zuo Qing again, he hurriedly stood up to leave: "What does he have to do with me? By the way, we just arrived at the Goat Milk Cake this morning. Xilou said before that he wanted to eat Goat Milk Cake, um...
Make it now so you can eat it tonight, let’s go now!”
Buddha lowered his face, stared at a game of chess, and said to himself: "He doesn't like goat milk cakes. Is it because you don't understand him, or has he forgotten?"
A few tears fell on the clouds and slid down, making the wooden chessboard darker.
