Chapter 201 Is it you who dies, or I? (Third update)
Gao Zhang has already left, and the lights in Miss Shishi's room are shining beautifully under the cover of the gauze curtain in the room.
Zhao Ji, an official, was sipping wine, hugging the beauty, and listening to the beauty in his arms telling the poignant story of "Autumn in the Palace of Han Dynasty" that she was rehearsing.
From the desk to the bed, I heard the sound. I thought the light was too bright, so I blew out the candle and continued listening...
At this moment, the horse was galloping, and Li Yan's face on the horse was full of excitement and a proud smile.
In his mind, he was reviewing the exchanges he had with Taoist Wang, including the strategy he had secretly agreed upon with Taoist Wang.
When you meet an official, how you should express yourself can arouse the official's curiosity about Taoist Wang to the greatest extent.
Da Ma rushed straight outside the palace city, saw the imperial guards guarding the city opening the palace gate, and Li Yan, who was worried, went straight in.
He walked quickly all the way, paying no attention to the young eunuchs and palace maids who saluted him after seeing him.
Until I saw not far ahead, on the steps of the palace gate with bright lights, Yang Jian, the official's number one confidant, was standing there, looking in this direction seemingly idle.
Li Yan couldn't help but be startled, and Yang Jian also saw Li Yan, subconsciously looking behind him, but he didn't see the official family.
"???" Yang Jian was completely confused. Li Yan went out with the Guan family, but now Li Yan came back, and the Guan family didn't come back together?
"Li Yan, where is the official family?" Yang Jian's face was serious, he quickly walked down the steps and shouted towards Li Yan.
Li Yan looked at Yang Jian with a confused look on his face, and looked at the palace in front of him: "The officials haven't come back yet?"
Yang Jian's whole body almost exploded, and he pointed at Li Yan like a sword with great anger.
"As a close official of the official family, you accompanied the official family out of the palace, but you didn't even know whether the official family came back or not?"
"The official didn't tell our family that he wouldn't return to the palace. This, this..."
Li Yan was also confused. What kind of tricks did this unscrupulous official make?
The moment Li Yan turned around and was about to walk back, he was stopped by Yang Jian sternly.
"Stand still for our family, stay in the palace for our family. If anyone comes, come with us to pick up the official."
"Hey, hey, hey... Yang Da, what do you mean by this?" Li Yan immediately became anxious, grabbed Yang Jian's sleeve and shouted.
"Let go!" Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, and the cold light made Li Yan tremble in his heart.
Years of accumulated prestige made Li Yan bend down involuntarily.
"Just stay in the palace and think about how you can apologize to the officials when they come back."
After saying these words, Yang Jian sneered a few times, then walked away with a puff of sleeves.
Li Yan stared blankly at Yang Jian's back, his pale, beardless face already distorted.
"Okay, okay, Yang Da, when we meet the officials, our family will have to see whether we will die or we will die..."
Cursing the other party viciously, Li Yan happily touched the long feather in his arms.

When Gao Zhang returned home, he had dinner with his parents. The family of three were chatting happily.
At this moment, the butler Fukang, who looked strange, strode into the room.
"Shilang Chen from the Ministry of Rites came to visit for business. Please see the young master..."
"Looking for me?" Gao Zhang raised his finger and pointed at his nose with a confused look on his face, and subconsciously turned his head to look at his biological father Gao Qiu next to him.
Gao Qiu was also a little confused. He glanced at Zhang'er beside him and recalled the attitudes of Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Chen Shilang in these days.
Ruo Ruo stroked his long beard thoughtfully and spoke to Gao Zhang.
"Since it is Minister Chen who is here to look for you, Zhang'er, you can go and entertain him yourself. If anything happens, just send someone to look for your father."
"Okay, Dad, Mom, I'll leave now, kid."
Since his biological father had given the order, Gao Zhang, full of doubts, said goodbye to his parents and left quickly.
Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of the mansion and saw the official master, Chen Shilang, who had come to visit him today, standing at the door, and hurried forward.
After some pleasantries, Gao Zhang was about to lead Chen Shilang into the palace, when he suddenly looked at an old servant who was bending behind Chen Shilang.
And the other party seemed to have noticed that even if he bent down, he could not reach the height of Gao Zhang, who was still a child.
He could only smile shyly towards Gao Zhang and make a silent gesture.
Wu Zhizhong is the veteran who made himself the leader of the Jinke Provincial Examination in the past, Mr. Wu, the Minister of Rites.
Gao Zhang glanced at Chen Shilang in front of him, who was winking at him desperately, and continued to lead Chen Shilang toward the palace...
Countless thoughts were running through my mind, but I couldn't figure it out. Why did these two people come to look for me?
#####
After Gao Zhang asked Fu An to serve tea, he raised his chin towards Fu An and watched as his confidant followed him out of the room and closed the door.
Then he stood up again and saluted Wu Zhizhong, who had accompanied Chen Shilang into the mansion. "Sir, please take a seat quickly..."
"Thank you very much, Duke Zhuangyuan, for covering up for me. I didn't expect that Duke Zhuangyuan had a sharp eye and saw my flaw right away."
Wu Zhizhong nodded towards Gao Zhang and sat in front of the desk. Even though he was dressed in servant clothes, his majesty could not be reduced.
On the contrary, I felt that Chen Shilang, who was wearing a gorgeous robe and brocade clothes, was more like his nephew.
"I wonder why the old man came to look for this boy at night when he was dressed like this?" Gao Zhang asked curiously.
He looked at Gao Zhang, who had just become the number one scholar, but ended up causing a huge turmoil in the court because of him.
Wu Zhizhong sighed for a long time, then nodded and smiled at Gao Zhang.
"Guizhang, my dear nephew, I am older than your father. Do you mind if I call you my nephew?"
"Today, I and Chen Shilang came to see you. There are indeed a few things that I have to do, but it would be better for Chen Shilang to speak first."
As soon as these words came out, Gao Zhang's eyes fell on Chen Shilang, and he instantly got a taste of what Wu Zhizhong, an old driver, said.
At this time, Chen Shilang looked at Wu Zhizhong helplessly and saw that the other man was just drinking tea soup happily.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak to Gao Zhang.
"Young Master Zhuangyuan knows, because Zhao Fujin sent people to smash up the Kaifeng metal workshop, which made the emperor angry.
There was a huge turmoil in the court, which really made the Song Dynasty very nervous..."
"..." Gao Zhang stared blankly at Chen Shilang in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed and he looked worried about the country and the people, and he made an impassioned speech in front of him.
The chatter has been going on for a long time, gradually shifting from the official Zhao Ji to the unscrupulous powerful eunuch Tong Guan and the traitorous prime minister Cai Jing.
In the former Ministry of Industry, there were still many loyal people who would not succumb to the treacherous Prime Minister Cai Jing.
