Jieduan Mansion.

Yan Xiufu wrote ink alone in the study. After writing several words in succession, he felt dissatisfied and pulled them off.

The door of the study was knocked gently: "I have something to report to you, I am a man."

Yan Xiufu took a deep breath, temporarily put the wolf hair dipped in thick ink in his hand for a while, then straightened his back and said aloud: "Come in."

Yan Xiufu's direct confidant, Song Ji, deputy envoy of the Pinglu Observation of Ziqing, was the general Geng Lu, the commander of the army and horses. The two walked into the study side by side and paid homage to Yan Xiufu at the same time: "I have met the envoys in the humble position (the last general)!"

These two people are both literary and military, and they can be called Yan Xiufu's right-hand man.

Yan Xiufu smiled and waved his hand: "Yuan Ji, in other words, there is no need to be too polite."

Song Ji came forward and glanced at it. Seeing the four words "The sky is dark and the earth is dark" written on a scroll on the desk, I couldn't help but exclaim: "The word "官网" is more vigorous and simple, and I'm more skillful."

Geng Lu is a military general and is not very proficient in calligraphy and writing, but she also praised her with Song Ji.

If you don’t wear flattery, you don’t know calligraphy, but flattery is the basic skill of an official.

Yan Xiufu sighed: "Okay, you don't have to praise me anymore. Humanity is like the word "the person", and the word "the word "the word "the word "the word "the word "the word " is "the word "," but I wrote two hours of words and wanted to express my feelings, but I was always sad and my mind was not. Now the court is in power, and the sky is dark, the world is getting worse, and people's hearts are not as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as good as

Yan Xiufu looked solemn.

He is talking about the current situation.

The eunuchs were in power, the imperial power fell, and the government was in chaos, especially the sudden turmoil and massacre that came not long ago in the Chang'an capital, which made the sky of the Tang Dynasty even more dark clouds.

Although he was not implicated in the Nilu Incident, as a minister of the Qingliu with a deep experience in the court, the two dynasties who were highly trusted by the emperor were deeply trusted. When he remembered that the emperor was under house arrest and countless colleagues and friends died suddenly, his heart hurt like a knife.

"The envoy, the eunuchs are in power, and the people are in trouble. It really makes people hate them and feel heartbroken. But in the eyes of humble officials, the envoys can hide their strength and protect themselves, raise soldiers and herdsmen in a town in Qingzhou, and wait for the future."

Song Ji whispered: "From ancient times to the present, although the eunuchs' rebellion has shaken the foundation of the country, it will not last long. We slept on firewood and tasted gall, and endured the momentary energy, which will definitely bring about the calm and clear sky."

Yan Xiufu nodded silently: "I am not interested in showing off the courage of ordinary men. At present, the eunuchs are powerful and cannot be defeated. If you fight with them, you should pay attention to some strategies. Moreover, the troubles of the court's friends are no less than eunuchs. If you want to rectify the country, it will not be a one-day contribution, and you can't even be anxious. By the way, Yuan Ji, in other words, you two come to see me together, do you have something important?"

Song Ji and Geng Lu looked at each other.

Song Ji bowed and said, "Empress, something strange happened in the city today."

Yan Xiufu said, "What's the matter?"

"After the incident between the Minister of Tang, the servants and maids of the Tang family fled one after another. Everyone knows this in the city. Unexpectedly, today, Tang's concubine Tang suddenly took the initiative to serve the officials and let the money take away the thirty-six escaped slaves. He also posted this letter to the thirty-six servants in the city, saying that he wanted to let the escaped slaves become good."

After Song Ji finished speaking, he took out the abrupt "Letter to Thirty-Six Servants" from his sleeve and presented it to Yan Xiufu.

Yan Xiufu took it and read it, and his face showed a strange look: "This book is quick-witted, quite literary, and sincere in words and extraordinary in temperament. Is this really written by the servant of the Tang family? I have always heard that this boy was cowardly and did not like reading, so he was not favored by Tang Ping. He sent the Qingzhou Waizai to be the son-in-law to the Zhu family."

"It is said that it was the abrupt book."

Song Ji sighed, "Encourt, the Minister of the Tang Dynasty was harmed by the eunuch. This young man in the Tang family suddenly encountered family changes. When he was in trouble, he was betrayed by his family slaves. It is actually not easy to survive until now."

Geng Lu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Empress, Zhu Teng is really shameless. When the Minister of the Tang Dynasty was in power in the past, this guy took the initiative to send his daughter to marry a concubine's son of the Tang family just to win the favor of the powerful people in the capital."

"I will tell you all these years that the Zhu family and the Tang family are family friends and have a deep friendship. Soon, my daughter will get married with Tang abruptly. Unexpectedly, in just a few months, she changed into a dirty and snobbish face, which clearly shows that she wants to draw a clear line with the Tang family."

Song Ji bowed and interrupted, "If you just want to attract the power and protect yourself, it would be fine. But then Zhu Teng is ready to move. Not only did he defect to the eunuch party in the capital, but he also tried to get involved in the army. His heart was sinister, so the envoy must be guarded! Moreover, Bei Zhi recently found out that Qiu Shiliang sent his subordinate's confidant eunuch Yu Shihong to Qingzhou, and he was at Zhu Teng's mansion at this moment. Bei Zhi was worried that Zhu Teng would collude with eunuchs, and there must be a conspiracy with ulterior motives behind it!"

Yan Xiufu was shocked: "Qiu Shiliang's people came to Qingzhou? Yuanji, is this matter conclusive?"

"It's certainly true. Bei Zhi has sent someone to stare at the Zhu Mansion, but the little eunuch is not very good at making a name for himself or her identity. After entering the Zhu Mansion as a guest, there has been no movement. It has been a few days since Song Ji replied.

Yan Xiufu pondered for a moment, and then he looked angry and slapped his face: "The wolf's ambition is especially shameless! Zhu Teng is a cold-hearted person and has always been ambitious. I have long known it. But now he dares to be unscrupulous and openly collude with the eunuch party, and collude with each other, which is beyond my expectations. Yuan Ji, in other words, keep a close eye on Zhu Teng, if there is any wrongdoing - you can start first!"

"No!" Song Ji and Geng Lu took the order and left.

...

The night is deep.

"The sky is dry, be careful of the candle!"

Two updaters who were playing updates lazily walked along the Zhuyi Street in a routine manner, and the hoarse and loud voices echoed in the night sky for a long time.

A thin black shadow sneaked out from the back door of the Tang family and headed straight to the back garden of the Zhu family.

There is only a small arch leading to Zhuyi Lane, which is rarely visited by people. Occasionally, the strong servants who are taking care of the garden will come out and clean up the weeds at the door.

The black shadow stood in front of the door and knocked lightly three times.

Soon, Zhu Liang, the second butler of the Zhu family, tiptoed to open the small door and let the black shadow in.

The moon was dark, and Zhu Liang looked flustered. He hurriedly handed a set of blue clothes from the Zhu family servant to the shadow man. Seeing that the boy was so lucky that he was changing his clothes slowly, he couldn't help but lower his voice and urged: "Hurry up... abruptly, you guys are so bold. If someone discovers, you and me will still be alive."

The young man smiled lightly: "What are you afraid of? No one comes to this back garden at all, and I don't know."

Zhu Liang stamped his feet: "Stop talking nonsense, leave quickly! I can warn you that you can't wander around in the mansion, otherwise you will be caught and your life will be lost."

"If I can't live, I will naturally not keep any secrets."

The boy looked up at the night sky. The crescent moon was about to be blocked by a dark cloud. The cold wind blew by, and he couldn't help but shivered. The late spring cold in the north of the Tang Dynasty could really kill people.

"In terms of courage, Second Butler, you are much more courageous than me. At most, I lie outside the attic of the Zhu family's wife and peek at her for a shower. But what about you, tsk, just slept with my second mother..." The young man raised his thumbs to Zhu Liang: "Even the concubines of the governor dare to move, are there anything you dare not do?"

Some memory information fragments hidden by the teenager are sorted out one by one and then picked up at will.

Zhu Liang's face turned red and her shoulders trembled: "You... dare to threaten me..."

"Isn't this nonsense? If I don't threaten you, your second butler of Zhu's Mansion will help me with a soft meal?" Tang smiled abruptly: "Let's go, Zhu Chang is in Sihailou, your second butler Zhu Liang can still walk sideways in this mansion. As long as you don't run into the governor and your wife, who dares to provoke you?"

Zhu Liang took a deep breath and adjusted his messy and angry mood: "What are you going to do when you sneak into the mansion in the middle of the night?"

"Hey... I don't do anything. I just lived in this mansion for more than a month and I really have feelings for it. I want to come back and take a look, but I just want to see it everywhere, but I have no other meaning."

Zhu Liang was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard this.

He hasn't really figured out yet why the Tang family, the soft and cowardly, suddenly became a rogue and bold.

Tang suddenly blocked him outside Zhuyi Lane, exposing the shameless little secret of him and Zhu Teng's concubine Zhou. With a firm statement, he almost scared him.

He originally thought that it was because heaven knew the earth knew him knew the Zhou family, but the result was...

It is not important for the boy to know his secrets. What is important is that the boy has solid evidence in his hands, such as the love letter written by Zhou, who came to Zhu Teng and his daughter. You can imagine the consequences.
