Jiaochu

Chapter 167 Yangzhou Governor ([-])
When Mr. Shan came down from upstairs, Yanjiang took a look at the neatly groomed face, poured himself a cup of peach blossom wine, took a sip and said, "This wine is good, I'll take a bottle back later."

"What's in that box?" Yan Fei asked. When he handed the small wooden box to his third uncle, his third uncle thought it was a token of love entrusted to him by some girl, and refused righteously. , but the eyes still revealed the smugness in his heart. When he heard the cause and effect of the incident, that smugness was extinguished.He remembered his third uncle's strange expression when he opened the box, as if he had swallowed a fly. When he leaned over to take a look, his third uncle closed the box, as if there was something shameful inside.

"Children, why do you ask so many questions? Be careful not to get a wife in the future."

"You couldn't have provoked a married woman and ended up being visited by your husband, right?"

"Am I that kind of person?! You kid, don't talk nonsense. Your third uncle, I finally found a third sister-in-law for you. If you mess with me, be careful I'll throw you into the river to feed the fishes."

Yanfei didn't answer, and looked at Mr. Shan who walked up to the stage. Yanjiang drank a glass of wine, came over and asked with a smile: "Would you like to know when the princess's birthday is?" Yanfei's eyes moved slightly, but still Without answering, Yan Jiang stared at the calm face for two seconds and said, "Did you ask about it a long time ago?" Yan Fei did not deny it, and naturally did not admit it.

Mr. Shan woke up and clapped his hands, and the loud sound silenced the building.

Last time, Mr. Shan stopped talking about the exciting battle of wits and courage between the two sides. This time, he went through it in a few words and focused on the highlight of Bai Jie's defeat and abandonment of the city. The scene of killing the soldiers of both sides was very colorful. The description was vividly described with sonorous, powerful cadences, and the guests in the building didn't even blink.Speaking of excitement, Mr. Shan didn't even spit out any saliva, his eyes seemed to be on fire and were extremely bright.

Yanjiang drank while listening to that glorious past, with a slight smile on his lips, as if he was feeling nostalgic, sentimental, relieved, and longing... In the end, it all went into his stomach with the wine in the glass.

After the people on the stage finished telling this important part, they paused for about half a cup of tea, leaving time for the guests in the building to reflect, and finally recounted the ending of Bai Jie, the Marquis in Jinyi.

It is said that after Bai Jie's defeat, he abandoned the city and fled back to the capital. As a result, he was killed by a mirror when he went to the palace to plead guilty. The words "mirror kill" made the guests in the building confused, and the two unrelated words were placed next to each other. One piece, but exuding a strange and eerie atmosphere.

These two words made Yanjiang pause in his drinking movements, and the depths of his pupils seemed to freeze for a moment.Yan Fei also noticed something strange about his third uncle, which made the words "Mirror Kill" sound even more ominous.

However, Mr. Shan did not explain what mirror killing was. After describing the ending of Bai Jie's death and the capture of Feng Wang, there was no further text.When Mr. Shan came down from the stage, a waiter went over and said a few words to him. His eyes pointed in the direction of Yanjiang, and Mr. Shan followed the waiter over.

Seeing his uncle and nephew, Mr. Shan bowed his hands in salute. I wonder if he recognized Yan Fei, but he still had a calm and calm expression on his face.

"Sir, please take a seat."

After Mr. Shan sat down, Yanjiang poured him a glass of wine, "What you just said was really wonderful, but I don't quite understand the word "kill with mirror" at the end. I hope you can give me some advice."

Mr. Shan slowly stroked his beard and said: "I heard about this mirror killing while traveling." At this point, he paused, as if he had some scruples, and then asked slowly, "Master Are you from the government?"

Yanjiang smiled and said: "To be honest, sir, I am indeed working in the government."

Mr. Shan nodded and said: "Young Master has a pure face. Being able to serve in the government is also a blessing to the people." He turned his eyes to Yan Fei, who had an impressive figure, and nodded. He seemed to admire the appearance of both his uncle and nephew. "The mirror killing that the young master just asked about involves a secret from the previous royal family. I heard that there was a mysterious Yin and Yang technique passed down from the previous royal family, which could kill people invisible. I heard that this technique was profound. It's unpredictable. You have to have rare intelligence to understand the secret. As for why it's called Mirror Killing, I speculate that this technique may have something to do with mirrors. However, I have never seen this technique before, and it has probably been lost. As for whether this Bai Jie is I don’t know if he really died in the mirror killing. I just want to listen to a story to relieve my boredom." He picked up the wine glass and took a slow sip of wine. After putting down the wine glass, he asked, "Master, do you have anything else to ask? ?”

"Sir, you are very knowledgeable. I may ask you for advice in the future." Yan Jiang said and poured another drink into the cup in front of Mr. Shan. "Easy to say, easy to say." Mr. Shan slowly drank his second glass of wine, slowly stood up and said goodbye, walked slowly towards the door, turned around and went to the pastry shop on the right.

The cockfighting ring was not open today, and the whole building was so quiet that there was no sound at all, which seemed a little strange.

Yuan Luo noticed something was wrong when he brought people over. Based on his understanding of Mr. Hu, "closing the house without making money" was rarer than pie in the sky, unless something life-threatening happened.

A bright light flashed in the back of his head. He turned his gaze and pointed in a direction, and the two men left quickly.

"Oh no, we were discovered."

"He discovered it when he discovered it. Could it be that he still dares to arrest us?"

"That Master Yuan doesn't know us."

"Then he should recognize His Highness, beat the dog—well, with His Highness here, let's see what he dares to do to us?"

……

There were voices outside the box, and after a while, the two men left, even knocking on the door.

"Sir, there is His Highness the Second Prince in the room."

"Watch here."

After about half a cup of tea, voices sounded again outside the box. After a while, there was a knock on the door. The people in the room said, "Come in." Dong Mo, who was guarding outside, opened the door and stepped aside. Please let Yuan Luo in.

In the room, apart from Ye Lingjue who was sitting by the window enjoying tea, there were two people hiding behind the screen. There were vague figures moving around. Yuan Luo glanced over there and then looked away.

"I didn't know that His Highness was coming, but my subordinates were a little disappointed to greet you. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Ye Lingjue put down the teacup and raised his hand to excuse Yuan Luo, and asked, "Have you found any clues, sir?"

Yuan Luo thought for a while and replied: "I received news that someone saw the beggar entering Chunfeng Tower. I just went to check and found no trace of the beggar." At this point, he There was a pause, as if he was considering whether to reveal what he said next.
