Pink Conspiracy

Vol 5 Chapter 8: Bauhinia County Lord (two more)

Su Fengnuan honestly felt that Ye Chang was right and only delayed Sun Zeyu's investigation without killing him. This was a flaw. Whether it is the prince prince or someone else behind it, it is not a soft-hearted generation.

Now that he is soft on Sun Zeyu, and because of his gentleman's style, he has an unspeakable disease and delays the investigation of the case. Are there any reasons why he dare not kill him?

Su Fengnuan suddenly thought of Shen Zhilan, and asked Ye Shang, "Xu Yunchu got news that she came to Peicheng? Let Qianhan take someone to look up and see where she is?"

Ye Chang nodded, called Qian Han, and ordered to go down.

In the evening, the city lord of Peicheng and a group of officials invited Su Fengnuan, Ye Chang, and Ye Xi to dinner.

During the dinner, the city lord of Peicheng repeatedly pleaded guilty to Su Fengnuan for the interception and killing of General Su in Peicheng, and mentioned that the emperor was going to dismiss him from office. It was General Su who was generous and protected him. Great grace, the gratitude is overwhelming, and when he drank the wine soundly, he said that he would guard Peicheng well and never cause trouble again.

Ye Changyan laughed at Yan Yan, noncommittal.

Su Fengnuan felt that the city lord of Peicheng was indeed a sincere person. It is no wonder that even though his father was intercepted in Peicheng, he eventually saved him and did not blame him.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it was late and everyone just left.

After the crowd left, Ye Chang was a step behind, and seemed to say to the city lord of Peicheng unintentionally, "It is said that the city lord knows Cheng Gu, the younger brother of the country's husband? There is a deep friendship, can this matter?"

The city lord was already drinking too much. He was taken aback when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "Yes, he is a good officer and has a lot of friendship with him."

Ye Chang smiled and said, "Three years ago, Cheng Gu went on a trip, and there has been no news. Nuaner and I went out this time and were asked by Xiaoguo to explore the news of Cheng Gu. I wonder if the city lord can tell you something? Trust, loyalty."

The city lord heard this and smiled, "Cheng Gu, I have been in Peicheng a few days ago. I don't know where I have gone now, it's mysterious."

"Oh?" Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "How many days ago was he in Peicheng?"

The city lord nodded, "Exactly."

Ye Chang smiled and said, "In this way, I really asked the right person. I don't know where he has traveled in the past three years? What did he do in Peicheng a few days ago? How many days did he stay?"

The city master said, "I know that he has been in the East for the past three years. As for what he does, it is estimated that the mountains and waters of the East are beautiful. He likes the quietness there. He doesn't like the bustling and hustle and bustle of Beijing. As for coming to Peicheng a few days ago, it seems to be Come here to pick up people. After picking up people, I left."

"Huh? Who will you pick up?" Ye Chang asked.

The lord shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't seen anyone either."

Ye Chang said, "Since he came here mysteriously, how can he let you know that he is in Peicheng?"

The city lord laughed, "That old boy, he stored things at my place three years ago, this time naturally he came to me to retrieve the things. Otherwise, in my opinion, he really doesn't want to be known by me that he has come to Peicheng. "

Ye Chang smiled and asked, "I don't know what it is, do I need to store it in the City Lord's Mansion?"

The city lord leaned close to Ye Chang's ear and said, "I'm alone."

Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Who?"

The city lord said, "A girl, the age of cardamom. He was placed in my city lord's mansion as a rough maid. My wife is a shrew, and thought it was a concubine I took in private, and she tortured the girl. I read. The friendship with him is not easy to be publicized. Now that she has finally been picked up, I have a lot of peace."

"What girl? How old is it? What's her name?" Ye Chang asked.

The city lord hiccuped his wine and said, "It is about the same age as Miss Su, and she is in the time of cardamom, and she looks very good. At first glance, she is the daughter of a wealthy family. His fingers do not touch the sun and spring water. When they first came, they were tender and tender. , Otherwise, I won’t let my wife blast the vinegar tank. Over the past three years, although I have been protecting me from time to time, I didn’t dare to lift up and annoy my wife. She suffered a lot in the City Lord’s Mansion.” The words fell, said, "As for the name, it's Zier."

Ye Chang squinted his eyes, "I have been in Southern Qi for a long time focusing on literature and military affairs. Every official is appointed through the palace examination. Although you have been sent to Peicheng to serve for many years, you should have not lost Wenmo Kungfu? Pen, ink, paper and inkstone, you might as well draw people, and I and Nuan'er have a look."

The city lord blinked his eyes. Although he was drunk, he also felt that Ye Chang was wrong and asked him, "Ye Shizi, what's the matter? Cheng Gu won't commit any crimes?"

Ye Chang smiled and said, "I have already said that I have been asked by Uncle Xiaoguo to find his uncle. Now that there is news, I will naturally pass it back to Uncle Xiaoguo." After the words fell, he said, "He is hiding in the city lord. The girl in the palace is probably related to Uncle Xiaoguo."

The city lord scratched his head when he heard the words, "I promised him not to disclose the girl's affairs. If I paint her portrait now, wouldn't it be too much to lose weight?"

Ye Chang said, "He has taken the people away, that is, the hiding period has passed. Even if you say it, it's not fattening by your words. After all, people are no longer with you."

The city lord heard the words, "Ye Shizi is reasonable." When the words fell, he was dizzy and authentic, "Ye Shizi and Miss Su are willing to live in the city lord's mansion, and they are willing to appreciate the face and eat wine. It is a great honor to go to the government. Unlike Sun The son, after coming to Peicheng, in order to investigate the case, he took precautions against everyone. Even my city lord’s mansion did not stay. The hidden illness has been with him for more than a month. The official quietly invited countless doctors for him, but he did not see any symptoms. I am deeply disturbed by the lower officials. If something happens to him, the head of the country and the emperor will be able to question the officials, and the officials will be worried every day."

Ye Chang said, "The cause of Sun Gongzi's disease has been found out, and it is not a major problem. He will leave Peicheng tomorrow, don't worry."

The city lord was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately disappeared from sorrow, "If this is the case, you can rest assured that you will paint for you." When the words fell, he shouted, "Come on, wait for the pen and ink."

Someone quickly laid out his pen and ink.

As Ye Chang said, Southern Qi has been focusing on literature over military affairs for a long time, and every official who took it out was very good at writing, writing, writing, and appreciating poetry, singing, and painting. In his spare time, the city lord also likes to hold poetry appreciation parties with a group of officials and local literati and students in Peicheng. So, for him, draw a picture of a character, and it's easy to catch it.

Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan stood by and looked at him.

In a short while, a girl-like person suddenly appeared on the paper, lovely, delicate and tender, just looking at it, it made people love it.

Although Ye Chang had never seen this girl, she knew, and Su Fengnuan had seen a real person.

After the city lord finished painting, he put down his pen and said to the duo, "It's her, I am not good at painting. Ye Shizi and Miss Su laughed."

Ye Chang smiled and said, "The painting is very good, and the meticulous brushwork has not been slackened by affairs."

Su Fengnuan also smiled and said, "This painting of Lord City Lord is very worth collecting. It is a pity to paint without an inscription. Inscribe it."

The city lord immediately waved his hand and said, "I'm really ashamed of being an official, so I don't want Miss Su's praise, I don't care about it."

Ye Chang smiled and said, "I looked very good at it, so let's inscribe it. It's a pity that it's so easy to draw without words."

The city lord had no choice but to praise the two again, and because of the alcohol, he learned that Sun Zeyu was healthy and that he would leave Beijing tomorrow. He was happy, so he picked up the pen again and wrote the inscription.

After finishing the inscription, Ye Chang smiled and put away the words, and said, "Tomorrow, we don't have to see each other. When Nuan'er and I return to Beijing, we will pass through Peicheng and have a drink with you."

The city lord said happily, "Ye Shizi and Miss Su will definitely be rewarded and stay for two more days, so that the officials can do more of the landlord friendship."

Ye Chang smiled and nodded.

Someone helped the drunk City Master to go back to rest, Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan looked at each other, and returned to where they were staying.

Ye Xi didn't like official social entertainment. Halfway through drinking, he secretly ran away, but he did not go back to rest, but waited for them to return in the rooms of Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan.

He waited for a long time. When he was drowsy, he heard the footsteps of the two of them. He woke up immediately and saw the two enter the house. He said to Ye Chang, "You never do anything without purpose, so-called unprofitable. I can’t afford it early. I don’t know if I can gain the face of the city lord of Peicheng?"

Ye Chang glanced at him, sat down, poured two cups of tea, and handed Su Feng Nuan a cup.

Su Fengnuan took the tea that Ye Chang handed to her, took a sip, and said to Ye Xi, "Really a great harvest."

"Huh?" Ye Xi suddenly came to his mind.

Ye Chang reached out from his sleeve and pulled out the scroll painted by the city lord of Peicheng, and handed it to Ye Chang, "Look, you know this person."

Ye Xi took a look, and said, "Yes, isn't this person the owner of Zijing County, the most beloved daughter of the King of Xiang County in the East?" He blinked, "This is the big gain you said? How about she Up?"

Su Fengnuan took advantage of the drunkenness of the lord of the city, and made some remarks about it. Cheng Gu gave Xu Yunchu the flower show three years ago. He was in the east and hid a person in the city lord’s mansion in Peicheng three years ago. Regarding the matter, that person worked as a maidservant in the City Lord's Mansion for three years, and was the daughter of the Bauhinia County Lord and the Xiangjun King's favorite.

After hearing this, Ye Xi said in astonishment, "Is there such a thing? This is strange!"

Su Fengnuan said, "It's really strange. It can be seen that Cheng Gu is related to the king of Xiangjun. And just a few days ago, Cheng Gu came to pick up people and waited for them at the same time." After the words fell, she speculated, "If it's my firm If the expectation is not bad, the person he picked up was the owner of Zijing County, so the person waiting should be Shen Zhilan, who ran out of the capital. A few days ago, Xu Yunchu got news that Shen Zhilan had come to Peicheng."
