Chang’an’s First Beauty

Although Donggong had sent someone to Luoyang, Lu Yan couldn't just wait until the news came back.

On the morning of June 24th, Lu Yan transferred the existing forces of Jingzhao Mansion to the twelve gates of Chang'an, the east, the north, and the north. They must be thoroughly investigated one by one, and if there is no paperwork, they will be directly returned to Jingzhaofu Prison.

In the afternoon, the sun is scorching.

Yang Zong handed the letter in his hand to Lu Yan and whispered softly: "Master, the number of people entering and leaving Chang'an has suddenly increased since yesterday. It's really hard to check. Only the subordinates gathered news from various places. The suspicious people are very much. Many, but none of them are what we are looking for."

"What did Bai Daonian say about the theater troupes who entered the city in the morning?" Lu Yan said.

"There is no disease." Yang Zong frowned. "Those people are not good stubborns. They turned around as soon as they heard that they were not sick, saying that we were detaining the people in Jingzhao Mansion for no reason and we were going to the Criminal Ministry to discuss an explanation."

"Tell them to sue and don't have to stop." Lu Yan said coldly, "The more fierce they are, the more problems there are. After a while, you will go back to the yamen, let half of them go, and leave the other half for a slow trial. , I am responsible for what happens." To be honest, what could be more important than the disease at the moment?

Yang Zong immediately understood, "Subordinates understand."

Two days later, there were more and more people at the gate of the city. Due to strict investigations, many people lined up yesterday, but have not yet entered the city today, and the people continue to complain and disputes.

A woman in a red dress, twisted her waist, shook the silk velvet moose bamboo fan, and whispered: "I said the official! The slave came from Yangzhou, and the girls trained by our Rong family are all innocent. , I haven’t been with anyone yet, but I can search by the official, but there are guests in Chang'an who are waiting anxiously. Can the official do well and tell us to go in first?"

The officers and soldiers were flushed with the woman's tone, and coughed slightly before saying, "Retreat, one by one."

The red dress woman stepped back angrily, and a woman smiled and walked over and said: "Guard, our girl is the niece of Mrs. Yong'an Bofu." After that, she handed over the two golden leaves in her hand.

The officers and soldiers subconsciously glanced at Lu Yan, and unfortunately, they looked at each other, and immediately waved their hands and said, "Bringing is a felony! Mother said carefully!"

After a while, another lady bowed and walked over, "My old lady is over sixty years old, and her body is not good. I have been waiting here for two days. The wind blows my head at night. My old lady is coming to Beijing to beg It’s a medical one, but it’s more serious right now."

Someone yelled, "This noon sun will roast us!"

At this moment, Sun Xu drove up and said in a low voice: "Master Lu, there is a sudden disturbance in the North Gate by foreign businessmen. If you say nothing, there will be 5,000 people. Not to mention that the Yamen will not easily do anything with foreign businessmen. Come, the available forces are also..."

Lu Yan rubbed his eyebrows with his middle finger, took off a piece of jade, and said to Yang Zong: "Send people back to the town's government office to borrow troops. The gates are far away from each other and they need cavalry."

Sun Xu felt at ease and couldn't help but silently said: As expected, Master Lu is still reliable.

Zheng Jingzhao reported that he was ill at home, and Lu Yan became an agent of the government. The investigation of the disease had completely fallen on his shoulders. After only a few hours, Lu joined the army to report, "My lord, there are many refugees on Simon's side, all with sticks. They take innocent people as their hostage and insist on breaking in."

"how many people?"

"The subordinates roughly estimated that there will be more than 200 people. As for whether there are any new players, I don't know." Lu Canjun frowned and said, "Sir, can we let it go?"

"Flying pigeons will report to the palace, and the saint will decide." Lu Yan said in a low voice, "Tell our people to guard first."

The twelve gates of east, west, north and south were like singing a big drama in these two days. No one stopped. The murderers, the arsonists, and the robberies were all alive. It happened that there was no sick person, and several movements calmed down. The soldiers defending the city were obviously distracted.

June 25th, Yinchu. Suddenly there was a sedan chair at the gate of the city. Not to mention countless attendants, there was still more than 70 dan of dowry behind.

Lu Yan called a soldier and whispered, "Who is that?"

The officers and soldiers nodded and said: "Returning to the sir, sitting in the sedan chair is the daughter of a wealthy businessman from Jingzhou, whose surname is Yu. It is the son of Xue's family who came to welcome the relatives, named Xue Lu. My lord, you really have to ask for a good time for this marriage. In auspicious time, is it convenient for us?"

Lu Yan said: "Have you checked?"

The officers and soldiers nodded, "Naturally, they have been investigated. The boxes are filled with gold and silver jewelry and tea cloth, nothing special."

"I'm asking about people. It's impossible that the dozen or so carriages are all gold and silver jewelry."

The officers and soldiers scratched their heads and said, "Those are all the wives and maids of Jingzhou Yu's family. The subordinates have seen them, and they are all slaves."

"how many people?"

"Ninety-three people in total."

"Is there a sore in it, or a cough?"

"I don't see the sore ones. As for coughing... They are a married team, and the sound of gongs and drums is so loud, how can you hear the cough?" The soldier said this, seeing Master Lu's face changed, and immediately disappeared. Loudly said: "The subordinates are negligent, let them stop here."

"No need."

Lu Yan looked at each other with Yang Zong.

A wealthy businessman in Jingzhou carried the sedan chair into the city.

Yang Zong couldn't help laughing. What is this, is it "hit a trick"?

Yang Zong whispered: "Go down and detain people?"

Lu Yan shook his head: "If they were really carrying the disease, it would be terrible. There are people all around. If they find that they missed their hands, they will run around, and it will be even more difficult. Let's let them go. Ask people to follow and wait until they settle down. "

"Yes."

In the next three quarters, Bai Daonian sent many prescriptions to avoid the plague. Lu Yan planned to make them into medicine packs. One was hung in front of the door, and the other was burned so as to prevent fish from slipping into Beijing from entering Beijing. Dyed to others.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai."

Before leaving, Bai Dao-nian said sincerely: "Even if it is an iron-struck body, it can't stand up to it, Master Lu should have a good rest."

Yang Zong echoed: "Master, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days now. It's really time to rest." Yang Zong and Lu Banquet for several years have never seen his master so exhausted.

The day before yesterday was not bad, at least I went back to the town government office. From yesterday to now, the yamen can run on both sides of the city gate, so I can save bathing.

Lu Yan nodded and said, "I know, I will return to the house."

Lu Yan bent down and got into the carriage. When Yang Zong saw him taking a break, he drove his horse to Baoning Fang pretentiously. When he arrived at the Shenzhai it was already evening.

Yang Zong nodded and admitted his mistake, but his waist was straight, and his face was written-Master, you can scold if you want to scold, anyway, it's all there.

Lu Yan squeezed his temple, nothing more.

He didn't see her for a few days, and he really missed her. Taking advantage of the sparsely populated road, he overcame the wall and entered.

Lu Yan avoided the two maidservants from the Eastern Palace, and pushed open the door of the inner room. After opening the curtain, he found that there was no one in the house, nor was the maid beside her.

It's all about time, why haven't you come back?

Lu Yan glanced at the pigeon cage, plucked one of his feathers, and the pigeon jumped up and down instantly.

The courtyard was quiet and there was no movement. After a long while, two female voices came from the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness has instructed that as long as Miss Shen goes out, we must follow, so that the last time will not happen again. It's already six quarters, and Miss Shen hasn't returned yet. I feel a little uneasy."

"The one who picked her up was Chang Pinghou, under the prince's sect, what's to worry about?"

"But in case the girl wants to go to the toilet or something, Chang Pinghou can't follow..."

"Isn't there still Sister Qingxi? Besides, Manjing Shangxia, who dares to **** someone from that Master Hou?"

Hearing this, the man in the house frowned, and wanted to leave several times, but he stayed behind.

—

The sky is getting dark, the moonlight appears slightly, and the shadows of the trees are faint.

It wasn't until Xu Shi that Shen Zhen returned to the Shen's house and chatted with Qingxi with a smile along the way.

Qingxi said: "The slave maid really didn't expect that Master Hou could help raise the girl's cat until now and have given birth to so many cubs."

"That fluffy milk cat is really cute, holding her small paws, my heart is about to melt, hey, if I am not so sensitive to the hair on them, it would be fine, and I can even let Brother Heng ask for two. play."

Shen Zhen does not have an elder brother. He was immature in his mind a few years ago. After Sui Yu repeatedly flicked, he recognized his brother Yu. Su Heng became jealous when she learned about it, and did everything for her brother, catching cats and teasing dogs.

No matter how close it was back then, it was the matter of that year. After many years of absence, the indescribable politeness was always between the two. Otherwise, Shen Zhen would not always avoid him.

Until then, Su Heng skillfully tied Shen Zhen's mouth scarf and handed her a cat less than two months old. Shen Zhen suddenly remembered a few years ago.

He is the same.

"Zhen Er, don't say that I came to take you to see the cat when you return home, otherwise your mother-in-law will give me a wink."

"You call me brother, and I will give you the cat."

"Wear your mouth scarf so that you don't cough. Come here and I'll tie it for you."

With the passing of time, and once again looking at each other, the friendship from my youth suddenly turned into a crimson color between the world and the earth.

Su Heng held a cat to tease her again, "Zhen Er, should I call my brother?"

"No, what should someone else hear?"

Su Heng said, "But there is no one else."

Shen Zhen looked at the scar on his forehead, his eyes stopped, and his long eyelashes instantly pressed down.

When I was young, I could call it anything, but now everything has changed. They are not biological brothers and sisters, so it's obvious that they shouldn't be called out easily.

After a while, Shen Zhen bends his eyes and said, "Can't you call Lord Hou? Young general, Lord Hou, Changping, which one sounds good?"

Su Heng's right arm trembled slightly, raised his hand and patted her on the head, and said dumbly: "I just want to be your brother, can't it?"

Who can't understand the meaning of the words?

Whoever doesn't understand is pretending to be stupid.

So there was a talk from Brother Heng.

When Shen Zhen was about to push the door into the house, she was told that the mother left sweets for her. She went to the west room and talked with Shen Hong for a while before returning to the main courtyard. It was almost Haishi.

Shen Zhen stepped into the inner room with a skirt, opened the curtain, and saw the man sitting on the couch at a glance.

She took a deep breath and turned back to Cheonggye and said, "Go and help me guard the outside. No one is allowed to come in."

Lu Yan frowned, suppressing the soreness in his eyes, and said dumbly: "Come here."

Shen Zhen walked straight to him and called an adult.
