"Who was that scholar just now? How brave you are to talk to Zhao Pi like that!"

"The most amazing thing is that Zhao Pileng couldn't stop talking about it."

"In the past few days, they have been arresting scholars everywhere in the town. Those Confucian scholars are not afraid of swords and weapons. This one is better, he faced them directly!"

"By the way, are those laws true or false? I never knew before. It turns out that there are arrests, arrests, and directors, and what the criminal regulations mentioned, are they all true?"

"Looking at Zhao Pi's reaction, he should be inseparable. This is a learned person. Even when faced with weapons, he can still argue with reason. Look at those scholars earlier. Before the captors opened their mouths, they killed themselves first. Soft."

"By the way, what is the scholar's name?"

"It seems his name is Qiu Yan. He must have come to our Xuankou Town for a study tour. I don't know where he came from."

"I know this. This person is Jiannan Dao Jieyuan, and his servant once reported his family status."

"It turns out to be a Jie Yuan, no wonder it's so extraordinary."

…

Not long after they arrived, Gong Yangyi and others left with Qiu Yan and others, and General Zhao also ordered the troops to retreat.

As soon as they left, the building was deserted, but the pedestrians and diners hiding around became interested. Recalling the previous situation, they couldn't help but become curious. They still remembered the scene of Qiu Yan speaking eloquently in front of the soldiers without fear. , couldn't help but talk about it.

The "Zhao Pi" in their mouth was none other than General Zhao who led the troops. After this incident, this person actually became Qiu Yan's stepping stone in everyone's eyes. It highlighted Qiu Yan's reputation of not being afraid of powerful people and being generous and outspoken. Unexpected before.

………………

In the north of the town, near the checkpoint passage, there is a large mansion.

At this moment, Qiu Yan and the others were led into it by Gong Yangyi.

Although General Zhao was forced to retreat, the matter still had to be resolved after all. He really pissed off a prince. Even if Qiu Yan could get through this, he would inevitably be in trouble in the future.

Moreover, things were quite strange this time. Qiu Yan had doubts in his heart, so he accepted Gong Yangyi's invitation.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs?

Although this mansion is one of the best in Xuankou Town, due to its scale, it cannot even compare with Yuanning Zhang Mansion. However, when Qiu Yan walked inside, he could feel a sense of nobility and grandeur, which Zhang Mansion did not possess.

This nobility and atmosphere did not come out of thin air, nor did Qiu Yan secretly sense it, but felt it from the guard at the gate of the mansion and from a famous servant along the way.

The dress of these servants is the same as that of Zhang's servants, but they are all tall and burly, powerful and full of energy. There is a touch of pride on every face.

"These servants are full of energy, full of energy, and many of them have sparkles in their eyes. Their muscles and bones are tense, and looking at their hearts from the face, they have the feeling of being united. If they go to the battlefield, they are all elite soldiers. , Compared with the guards of Wu Xin Jiedushi Mansion, it is really not easy! From this, we can see that the power of King Yan is extraordinary."

Qiu Yan walked and looked around, gradually feeling confident.

The princes and princes of Darui are all empty titles and will not be given fiefs, but they are also qualified to open government offices and recruit staff and personal guards. For example, many of King Yan's servants are no better than their own relatives in terms of skills alone. Wei Chai became a servant only because he could not go beyond the organizational structure due to the laws of the court.

Gong Yangyi was walking in front, introducing as he walked: "The prince purchased this mansion from a merchant. In the past half month, the prince has devoted himself to the matter of rebelling against the thieves. , I personally stayed here when I was in danger.”

Having said this, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty's coming to sit in charge was approved by several old prime ministers of Dongdu. They have jointly submitted a letter to Xingjing to explain the matter, so they did not violate the rules. In this regard, Qiu Young master, you can rest assured.”

"Oh? That's it," Qiu Yan nodded, and then said, "However, if they are not in their positions or seeking political affairs, several old prime ministers are living their lives in the Eastern Capital, so they should not work too hard, Ma Yang When Mr. Ma was temporarily living in Qingchang, although he was concerned about the government affairs, he would not interfere arbitrarily. "

What he said was not polite at all, and he didn't seem to be afraid of offending Mr. Su of Dongdu. His words were reasonable. Although Gong Yangyi was choked, there was nothing he could do about it. He only said that Qiu Yan was dissatisfied with Zhao Pi's rudeness and committed a crime. Get rid of the scholar's arrogance.

Shaking his head and laughing, Gong Yangyi just said: "There were many misunderstandings before, please don't take it to heart, sir. General Zhang also did bad things with good intentions. The prince should be reprimanding him at the moment."

"What a stick and carrot!" Qiu Yan looked at Gong Yangyi in front of him and sneered in his heart, "First let General Zhao be tough, and then let Gong Yangyi be gentle, and there is a prince standing behind him, and other powerless people will be replaced. A weak scholar who is beaten down by such a combination of punches will most likely burst into tears of gratitude and have thoughts of surrender. "

Thinking of this, Qiu Yan already had a bad impression of Prince Yan, whom he had yet to meet.

What happened before can't be brushed off with just the word "offense". Once you are captured by those soldiers indiscriminately, regardless of whether you are right or wrong, your reputation will be tarnished. Even if you are released afterwards, it will still be regarded as a stain on your life. Yes. Imperial examinations and official careers have an intangible impact.

This kind of thing is no longer a trivial matter. It's not that Qiu Yan has never seen the world, and being treated with kindness and courtesy as a corporal, he forgets about it and relaxes his vigilance.

His barbed words just now were not intended to challenge Mr. Su of the Eastern Capital, but to cast a stone to find out what King Yan was planning.

"Wang Su from before stopped me, although he didn't lie, but he could still be said to be loyal to his duties. But what happened later became interesting. Before he could prove his identity, he arrested people with great fanfare. When he found that something couldn't be done, he He immediately changed his face. These changes suggested that he was being arrogant but respectful. After knowing my name, the prince seemed to have deliberately brought me here..."

Qiu Yan gradually made some guesses after experiencing the contact before and after.

"Is it because of the partisanship between the old and new parties? I have an old relationship with Ma Yang, and this prince is from the new party? Otherwise, I, a small official, even if I am a Jieyuan, will not be so valued by a prince. That's not right. I heard that the old men in Dongdu have all written against Wang Xianggong. It can be seen that they are all inclined to the old party, or they are the mainstay of the old party. It is impossible for King Yan to get their approval and be related to the new party. , what is the reason..."

Qiu Yan thought as he walked, deduced in his mind, listed various possibilities, and overturned them one by one. The conclusion he finally came to was still related to the struggle between the old and new parties, which was quite confusing.

"Even if I write two decent articles, I won't be able to participate in the court struggle. I still know this."

On the other side, the young man in Confucian uniform with a folding fan in his hand often stared at Qiu Yan with curiosity in his eyes.

After walking a few steps and arriving in front of the main hall, Gong Yangyi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Hu Qi and Dai Guo behind Qiu Yan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiu, the prince is waiting for you inside, but he just ordered to take the lead." You go in alone, this..."

"Mr. Gongyang, there is no need to be embarrassed." Qiu Yan nodded, turned to Hu Qi and Dai Guo and gave a few instructions. The two nodded and followed a servant to leave.

But the next moment, Hu Qi's voice rang in Qiu Yan's ears. The other party condensed the voice into a line and transmitted it directly -

"Sir, the prince may not do anything to you, but he is afraid of forcibly detaining us."

Hu Qi and Dai Guo were not worried about Qiu Yan's safety. In terms of cultivation and skill alone, Qiu Yan was far superior to the two of them. What happened just now also allowed them to see the knowledge that Qiu Yan had in mind, not to mention his personal reputation.

Although the prince has great power, in Da Rui, even the prince has no right to punish the scholars without going through the government. However, it is still possible to find a reason to detain Qiu Yan for a few days, but this will delay the trip.

Qiu Yan sent a message back: "Don't worry, I made a show in the town, and people who are interested will soon know about it. Come to the palace to pick up people, you and Dai Guo just don't worry." These words also condensed into a thread.

Hearing this, Hu Qi was stunned.

"Listen to what the young master means. What other intentions did he have for what he did in the tavern just now?"

When Hu Qi and the two left, Gongyang Yi rushed to Qiu Yangong and cupped his hands: "In that case, please invite Mr. Qiu in, and we will leave first." After saying this, he led Mr. Rufu away.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving in a hurry, Qiu Yan became more and more confused.

"Forget it, let me go and see what the prince is planning and what he is up to."

With this thought, Qiu Yan stepped forward and entered the main hall.

However, when I entered the room, I found that it was empty. There were only chairs and a coffee table. There were cups on the coffee table, and the tea was warm and smoking.

"Huh? What is going on?" Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan's doubts became more intense. He narrowed his eyes and let go of his perception.

………………

At the same time, Hu Qi and Dai Guo, who were led by servants, were taken to a side room and sat down respectively. There were maids serving tea, and servants bringing fruits and meals. People came and went, and it was very lively.

This scene made Hu Qi and Dai Guosheng feel flattered. They had lived in the open, how could they have received such treatment? What's more, it's still in the prince's house.

Dai Guo laughed, picked up an apple, took a bite, and then praised it.

Hu Qi whispered: "Second brother, don't be confused, we are taking advantage of the young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door——

"No, no, you two heroes, Xiao Wang actually invited you to come this time. That Qiu Yan can only do one thing, how can he compare with these two masters?"

While he was talking, a handsome young man walked in from the door, with a smile on his face and an intimidating power on his body. Every move he made was graceful and calm.

All around, maids and servants saluted each other, shouting in unison: "I have seen the prince..." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
