Wang Zhenwen is Grand Secretary of the Hall of Literary Profundity, therefore Hall of Literary Profundity natural becomes official scholar and other officials enters the institute of straight management. 王贞文是文渊阁大学士,因此文渊阁理所应当的成为大学士等官员的入直办事之所。 In the hall, wears the red robe, gray-haired Wang Zhenwen bends over one's desk the work, other civil officials and petty local officials are busy at work the oneself assignment respectively, occasionally some low voice discussions, but overall peaceful harmonious. 堂内,穿着绯袍,头发花白的王贞文伏案办公,其余文官、吏员各自忙活自己的差事,偶尔有小声讨论,但总体安静和谐。 Meets to be in disagreement, the civil officials loudly will quarrel to side hall, decides the victory and defeat. However, the scholar quarrelled, usually was who cannot convince anyone. 遇到意见不合的,文官们会到偏厅大吵一架,分出胜负。不过,读书人吵架,通常是谁都说服不了谁。 Finally must make the higher authority make to rule. 最后还得让上级做出裁定。 „Sir Principal Bulwark, Young Lady Simu came, said that must see you.” A out of the door guarding petty local official, coming in softly, the speaking voice also presses is very low. “首辅大人,思慕小姐来了,说要见您。”一位门外值守的吏员,轻手轻脚的进来,说话声也压的很低。 Tip that Principal Bulwark Wang walks randomly, the ink opens in paper page yin immediately, changes to one group of ink marks. 王首辅游走的笔锋一顿,墨汁顿时在纸页氤开,化作一团墨迹。 The imperial palace how she enters ......... she came Grand Secretariat to make anything ......... the two doubts to reappear in the Principal Bulwark Wang mind. 她怎么进的皇宫.........她来内阁做什么.........两个疑惑先后浮现在王首辅脑海。 East side of Hall of Literary Profundity in imperial palace, but is not in the imperial palace tall wall, but in the plan, it belongs to the imperial palace, outside guards with large army, the miscellaneous personnel cannot come. 文渊阁在皇宫的东侧,不过并不在皇宫高墙之内,但在规划中,它就是属于皇宫,外头重兵把守,闲杂人等进不来。 Principal Bulwark thousand gold (daughter) also in „miscellaneous personnel” inside. 首辅的千金也在“闲杂人等”里头。 „Does not see ....... makes her come, since the back door enters, I in side hall wait/etc. she.” Principal Bulwark Wang puts to start writing, conducts the back single-handedly, puts in the abdomen single-handedly, calm departure inner hall, transfers side hall. “不见.......让她进来吧,从后门进,我在偏厅等她。”王首辅搁下笔,一手负背,一手置于腹部,沉稳的离开内堂,转去偏厅。 In side hall waited for several minutes, makings gentle natural Wang Simu to carry the gift box to come, placed on the table gently, sweet calling out: „Father!” 在偏厅等了几分钟,气质文静大方的王思慕拎着食盒进来,轻轻放在桌上,甜甜的叫道:“爹！” Principal Bulwark Wang is putting on a serious face „un”, is disgruntled: „You in close friend roaming lake with the boudoir did not go, coming Grand Secretariat to do, who brought the imperial palace that you entered.” 王首辅板着脸“嗯”了一声,不悦道:“你不是与闺中密友游湖去了么,来内阁作甚,谁带你进的皇宫。” Wang Simu smiles, the confident opening gift box, holds the dashi that one bowl fresh overflows fragrant, the sound is gentle: 王思慕笑了笑,不疾不徐的打开食盒,捧出一碗鲜香四溢的鱼汤,声音轻柔: „ When swims the lake, the daughter sees in the lake the carp to be lush, then makes one fish for several to come up. When it is brightest brings back to the mansion, cooked the dashi for the father personally. “游湖时,女儿见湖中鲤鱼肥美,便让人捕捞几条上来。趁着它最鲜活时带回府,亲手为爹熬了鱼汤。 „Father official business is busy, must pay attention to the body, eats some nutritious soup.” “爹公务繁忙,也要注意身子,多喝一些滋补的汤。” The Principal Bulwark Wang complexion transfers slightly gently, smells is making the fresh fragrance that the person index finger moves greatly, tasted a small mouth, immediately reveals to enjoy the look, said: 王首辅脸色稍转柔和,嗅着令人食指大动的鲜香,尝了一小口,顿时露出享受神色,称赞道: „In dashi mixes in chicken powder, if is really the human world delicacy. Directorate of Astronomy develops this thing, is the luck of having good things to eat of Great Feng common people.” “鱼汤中掺入鸡精,果真是人间美味。司天监研制出此物,乃大奉百姓的口福。” After Directorate of Astronomy development chicken powder inflow market, immediately obtains praises of various classes, at the present the capital high official is high-ranking, and businessman wealthy person, in the family/home the diet could not have left chicken powder. 司天监研制的鸡精流入市场后,立刻获得了各阶层的追捧,而今京城的达官显贵,以及商贾富户,家中饮食已离不开鸡精。 Civilians others, occasionally also luxurious scatters in the food , to promote taste. 平民人家,偶尔也会奢侈的在菜肴里撒一些,提升口味。 Wang Zhenwen many years has not seen Directorate of Astronomy to develop this type the thing. 王贞文已经很多年没见过司天监研制出这种好东西了。 Wang Simu takes advantage of opportunity saying: „I had listened to a hearsay before, this chicken powder is actually not the Directorate of Astronomy development. But has someone else.” 王思慕顺势说道:“我以前听过一个小道消息,这鸡精其实不是司天监研制。而是另有其人。” Wang Zhenwen stares: „Has someone else?” 王贞文一愣:“另有其人？” Wang Simu said with a smile: „Listened to Your Highness Lin'an saying that the chicken powder true developer was Silver Gong Xu Qi'an, Directorate of Astronomy is to improve.” 王思慕笑道:“听临安殿下说,鸡精真正的研制者是银锣许七安,司天监不过是改进一番。” This minor matter, Wang Zhenwen has not paid attention actually, listening to the daughter saying that suddenly was shocked, good long while has not drunk one. 这种小事,王贞文倒是没有关注,听女儿这么说,一时间愣住了,好半天都没有喝一口。 „This child apex is intelligent, shocking talent ........” Wang Zhenwen is sighing with emotion, shakes the head , to continue to eat the dashi. “此子绝顶聪明,惊才绝艳........”王贞文感慨着,摇了摇头,继续喝鱼汤。 Wang Simu continues to chat, „originally wants to make Yulin Guard do for somebody, gives you to deliver the dashi, who knows on the road runs into Your Highness Lin'an, then along with her entered the palace to come.” 王思慕继续闲聊着,“本来是想让羽林卫代劳,给您把鱼汤送过来的,谁知在路上遇到临安殿下,便随她入宫来了。” Arrived this, the Wang Zhenwen two issue replied. 到此,王贞文的两个问题回答完毕。 Wang Simu has not waited for Wang Zhenwen to eat up the dashi, sets out to say goodbye: „Father, you are slower drink, get off duty remembers that comes back the bowl belt/bring. In Hall of Literary Profundity prohibits the female from entering, the daughter were not many remains.” 王思慕没等王贞文喝完鱼汤,起身告辞:“爹,您慢些喝,散值了记得把碗带回来。文渊阁内禁止女子进入,女儿就不多留了。” Last issue, replied that- comes Hall of Literary Profundity to deliver the dashi to the old father. 最后一个问题,也回答完-来文渊阁就是给老父亲送鱼汤。 Wang Zhenwen also shows the smile, is moderate: „Returns, the Mu'er filial piety, the father knew.” 王贞文随之露出笑容,语气温和:“回吧,慕儿的孝心,爹知道了。” Father old fox, was too formidabe, pulls a smart trick .......... Wang Simu to relax with him really tired at heart secretly, smiles, turns around to leave side hall, but she does not have really to leave Hall of Literary Profundity, waits for the maidservant who to beckon toward outside. 爹这个老狐狸,太难对付了,和他耍心眼真累..........王思慕心里暗暗松口气,嫣然一笑,转身离开偏厅,但她没有真的离开文渊阁,朝着外头等待的丫鬟招招手。 The maidservants raise another gift box quick steps to come, then, the master and servant two people went to the office tribunal of another official scholar. 丫鬟提着另一个食盒疾步过来,然后,主仆两人去了另一位大学士的办公堂。 .......... .......... Another side hall, Wang Simu places the table the gift box, holds the fresh fragrant dashi, said with a smile: „Uncle Qian, my today's roaming lake, seeing in the lake the fish is really lush, then made one fish for several, gave you and father cooked the dashi.” 另一间偏厅,王思慕把食盒放在桌案,捧出鲜香的鱼汤,笑道:“钱叔叔,我今日游湖,见湖中鱼儿甚是肥美,便让人捕捞了几条,给您和父亲熬了鱼汤。” Qian Qingshu is tall thin the old man, unlike dignified calm Wang Zhenwen, his makings is more temperate at will, lets the person feeling is the elder who is together excellently. 钱青书是个高瘦的老者,与威严沉稳的王贞文不同,他气质更温和随意,让人感觉是个极好相处的长者。 Qian Qingshu and Wang Zhenwen are the schoolfellow good friends, is the same Jinshi, mentioned the result, money love letter in the past was one armor Third-Placer. Wang Zhenwen is Erjia, latter selects into Hanlin Academy, becomes Hanlin Bachelor. 钱青书和王贞文是同窗好友,更是同一届的进士,说起成绩,钱情书当年是一甲探花。王贞文是二甲,后选入翰林院,成为庶吉士。 „On asked the material, the feudal official remnant wood ; On asked the fish, the feudal official wadi ........ was delicious since old times.” Qian Qingshu tasted one slightly brightly, the eye: „Un, tasty.” “上求材,臣残木;上求鱼,臣干谷........自古美味啊。”钱青书尝了一口,眼睛微亮:“嗯,好喝。” When the official business is busy, can rest to eat one bowl of dashis, enjoys! 公务繁忙之际,能歇下来喝一碗鱼汤,享受！ „Niece heard a news recently, heard that Principal Graduate Xu of spring examination was put in prison because of the imperial civil service examination fraud?” Wang Simu does intentionally curiously. “侄女最近听到一则消息,听说春闱的许会元因科举舞弊入狱了？”王思慕故作好奇。 Qian Qingshu expression paused, slowly nod: „ New left supervises Censor to impeach Grand Secretary of the East Hall Zhao Tingfang to receive the bribe, releases the topic to give Xu Xinnian. 钱青书表情顿了顿,缓缓点头:“新任的左督察御史弹劾东阁大学士赵庭芳收受贿赂,泄题给许新年。 „However that Xu Xinnian «Travelling Difficult» is not oneself writes, is male cousin Xu Qi'an writes a letter on another's behalf.” “而那许新年的《行路难》也不是自己所写,是堂兄许七安代笔。” Is the Principal Graduate Xu poem Xu Qi'an writes a letter on another's behalf? This matter also involves Grand Secretary of the East Hall Zhao Tingfang unexpectedly ......... the Wang Simu complexion changes, various thoughts flash through, she very good to restrain the expression, asked: 许会元的诗是许七安代笔？此事竟还牵扯上东阁大学士赵庭芳.........王思慕脸色微变,各种念头闪过,她很好的收敛了表情,问道: „Uncle Qian is slower drinks, said in this with the niece the way.” “钱叔叔慢些喝,与侄女说说此中门道呗。” Qian Qingshu knits the brows, hesitant some little time, sighed: „Really is eats the person to have one's speech softened ........ you to guarantee, the words that here hears, tiny bit can not leak out.” 钱青书皱了皱眉,犹豫了好一会,叹道:“果然是吃人嘴软啊........不过你得保证,这里听到的话,一丝一毫都不得泄露出去。” Wang Simu pecking head fast: „This is natural, I most kept the word.” 王思慕飞快的啄脑袋:“这是自然,我最守信用了。” ............. ............. Xu Residence. 许府。 The study room, Xu Qi'an sits after the desk, is pondering the next step plan. 书房,许七安坐在书桌后,思考着下一步的计划。 Handling Ministry of Justice High Official is not anything, making second son avoid the penalty is only the first step of plan, then he must discover the true enemy from the civil official. 搞定一个刑部尚书不算什么,让二郎免除刑罚只是计划的第一步,接下来他要从文官里找出真正的敌人。 Knows oneself and other side, can be ever-victorious. 知己知彼,才能百战百胜。 „ Huaiqing expensive/noble is Princess, but plan of court gentlemen, she can only looks at, unable to meddle. After all is Princess that does not have the real power, but she should have the trusted aide in hidden ....... “怀庆贵为公主,但朝堂诸公们的谋划,她只能看着,无法插手。毕竟是个没有实权的公主,不过她应该有隐藏的心腹....... „ The attitude of Duke Wei to this matter is not very positive, what are more is testing my ability, if I could not process, looks him to help, although Duke Wei will definitely help me, will also be at heart disappointed, was unavoidable. “魏公对这件事的态度不是很积极,更多的是在考验我的能力,如果我处理不了,去找他帮忙,虽然魏公肯定会帮我,但心里也会失望,在所难免的。 „How should I do some straight tips? Grand Coordinator Zhang is a good candidate, but he is the Wei Yuan person, will be vigilant by the officials of hostile camp, not necessarily knows too ........” “我该怎么样搞到一些内幕消息？张巡抚是个好人选,可他是魏渊的人,会被敌对阵营的文臣警惕,未必知道太多........” When ponders over, his auricle moved, heard the sound of footsteps. 思忖之际,他耳廓一动,听见了脚步声。 „Thump thump .......” “咚咚.......” The sound of footsteps stops in out of the door, knocks on a door, subsequently broadcasts the sound: „eldest son, the miss looks for you.” 脚步声在门外停下,敲了敲门,继而传来声音:“大郎,有一位姑娘找您。” Girls, who? 姑娘,谁啊？ The volume, my miss were too many, has no way to guess that ........ Xu Qi'an responded: „Asked her to go to the sitting room, I immediately came.” 额,我的姑娘太多了,根本没法猜........许七安回应道:“请她去内厅,我马上过来。” He breaking mentality connection, pondered several minutes, carried teacup sleek/moist the throat, this set out to go out. 他把打断的思路接续,又思考了几分钟,端起茶杯润了润嗓子,这才起身出门。 Goes to the sitting room, sees a pretty maidservant who wears the Dutch color short Chinese-style jacket skirt stands in the hall, small child turns circle regarding her, said very much originally ripe: 来到内厅,看见一个穿荷色襦裙的娇俏丫鬟站在厅里,小豆丁围绕着她转圈,很自来熟的说: „elder sister we play, we play, I asked you to eat the water-chestnut cake.” “姐姐我们来玩呀,我们来玩呀,我请你吃马蹄糕。” The pretty maidservant is dealing with a forced smile, as if not too the custom and young child are together. 娇俏丫鬟强颜欢笑的应对着,似乎不太习惯和稚童相处。 „Miss Lan'er?” “兰儿姑娘？” Xu Qi'an steps into the threshold, before a double-hour, this maidservant had just come. 许七安踏入门槛,一个时辰前,这丫鬟刚来过。 „Sir Xu,” Lan'er salutes, then takes out from the sleeve folds the good paper, gives Xu Qi'an, said in a low voice: „My family young lady makes me send. The servants do not disturb, asks to be excused.” “许大人,”兰儿施礼,而后从袖中取出折叠好的纸条,递给许七安,低声道:“我家小姐让我送来的。奴婢不打扰了,告退。” Does not give Xu Qi'an to detain, as well as opens the paper the opportunity, hastily leaves. 不给许七安挽留,以及打开纸条的机会,匆匆离开。 Xu Qi'an sits on the chair, launches the paper, swept one fast, the whole face is stunned. 许七安坐在椅子上,展开纸条,飞快扫了一眼,满脸错愕。 Serious that this...... his expression gradually changes, because the information on paper was too important, almost the clarity that the inside story of this imperial civil service examination embezzlement writes. 这......他的表情渐渐变的严肃,因为纸条上的信息太重要了,几乎把本次科举舞弊案的内幕写的清清楚楚。 The one who submits a written statement to impeachment „the imperial civil service examination fraud” is new Chief Censor of the Left Yuan Xiong, this person replaces Wei Yuan, after wielding Censorate, then with Chief Censor of the Right is the head „eunuch clique remnants” launched the bitter battle. 上书弹劾“科举舞弊”的是新任左都御史袁雄,此人接替魏渊,执掌都察院后,便与右都御史为首的“阉党余孽”展开了激烈的争斗。 Properly speaking, Chief Censor of the Right Liu Hong is also one of the examiners, is the Yuan Xiong goal. But this imperial civil service examination embezzlement, releases the topic is actually Grand Secretary of the East Hall Zhao Tingfang. 按理说,右都御史刘洪也是主考官之一,正是袁雄的目标。可本次科举舞弊案,泄题的却是东阁大学时赵庭芳。 The reason is, if Yuan Xiong impeaches Chief Censor of the Right Liu Hong directly, then, with his head confrontation is Wei Yuan. Even if hitting the flag that suppresses Yunlu Academy, various parties also watch critically mostly, the assistance that can render is limited. 原因在于,袁雄若是直接弹劾右都御史刘洪,那么,与他正面交锋的就是魏渊。纵使打着打压云鹿书院的旗帜,各党派多半也只是冷眼旁观,能给予的帮助有限。 After all even if makes Xu Xinnian attend the palace examination, enters the palace for the officer, court gentlemen to have the method to suppress same, snow conceals. 毕竟就算让许新年参加殿试,入朝为官,朝堂诸公一样有法子打压,雪藏。 Therefore, behind this case second behind-the-scenes force appeared, Ministry of War Deputy Minister Qin Yuandao. 所以,此案背后的第二个幕后推手出现了,兵部侍郎秦元道。 Original Ministry of War High Official because of the Pingyang Commandery Princess case, the whole families confiscates and beheads, Ministry of War Deputy Minister Qin Yuandao is the Ministry of War High Official first position successor. 原兵部尚书因为平阳郡主案,满门抄斩,原本兵部侍郎秦元道是兵部尚书的第一顺位继承人。 But Yuanjing Emperor arranged a chieftain of small parties to take over Ministry of War High Official. 但元景帝安排了一个小党派的头目接任兵部尚书。 Promoted hopeless Qin Yuandao to change a mentality, he planned to enter Grand Secretariat, cast aside not to have the backer, oneself influence not strong Grand Secretary of the East Hall Zhao Tingfang. 升级无望的秦元道换了个思路,他打算入内阁,挤掉没有靠山,自身势力不强的东阁大学时赵庭芳。 Regarding Chief Censor of the Left Yuan Xiong, person of Xu Xinnian suppression, is not only the Yunlu Academy scholar, is the Silver Gong Xu Qi'an younger male cousin. 对于左都御史袁雄来说,打压之人许新年,不但是云鹿书院的学子,更是银锣许七安的堂弟。 If that Xu Qi'an does not think the younger male cousin to bring ruin and shame upon oneself, will ask Wei Yuan to act inevitably, so long as gets into the water Wei Yuan, what worry cannot solve Chief Censor of the Right Liu Hong. 那许七安若不想堂弟身败名裂,势必求魏渊出手,只要把魏渊拖下水,何愁解决不掉右都御史刘洪。 In addition, on the paper that Wang Simu provides also mentioned, the Duke Cao Song was good at also added fuel to the flames. 此外,王思慕提供的纸条上还提到,曹国公宋善长也在其中推波助澜。 „ Superficially, is Chief Censor of the Left Yuan Xiong and Ministry of War Deputy Minister Qin Yuandao collaborates, most adds on their partisans. In fact, regardless the status of second son Yunlu Academy scholar, is only he is my younger male cousin, in the person who in the Mulberry Lake case, the Pingyang Commandery Princess case and Yun Province case offended, will seize the opportunity to retaliate me inevitably, High Official Sun was the example. “表面上看,是左都御史袁雄和兵部侍郎秦元道联手,最多加上他们的党羽。实际上,撇开二郎云鹿书院学子的身份,单凭他是我堂弟,之前在桑泊案、平阳郡主案、云州案中得罪的人,势必会抓住机会报复我,孙尚书就是例子。 „However in addition the status of Yunlu Academy scholar ........ the situation is not wonderful . Moreover, how many meanings is Duke Cao? The civil officials find fault to understand, you vulgar meritorious noble martial artist, especially also joins in the fun? The motive is anything ........” “而加上云鹿书院学子的身份........局势不妙,另外,曹国公是几个意思？文官找茬可以理解,你一个粗鄙的勋贵武夫,特么的也凑热闹？动机是什么........” Also, why do I believe the Wang Zhenwen unmarried girl? The information that she supplies can I believe? 还有,我凭什么相信王贞文的闺女？她提供的信息我能信？ But where she deceives my meaning, looking from the observer angle, second son this time ended the calf, she by rights ought to one side secretly happy, does not need to do the unnecessary matter. The maidservant also seems stealthy, runs to the strip, this is not afraid. 但她骗我的意思何在,从旁观者角度看,二郎这次完犊子了,她理当在一旁偷乐,没必要做多余的事。那丫鬟也显得鬼祟,给完条子就跑,这不是心虚么。 Either this Miss Wang Family is an idiot, either she thinks I am the idiot ......... may listen to the analysis of second son and Lingyue, this young lady is not stupid , when she I am an idiot? 要么这位王家大小姐是蠢货,要么她认为我是蠢货.........可听二郎和玲月的分析,这位大小姐也不蠢啊,靠,她当我是蠢货？ Encounters a difficulty does not look for Wei Yuan definitely, un, I said that these are my oneself inquire, then asks him to try to prove, but can also make Wei Yuan hold in high esteem to me, if were deceived, is not in the way, explained me to be careful, has not readily believed in people. 遇事不决找魏渊,嗯,我就说这些是我自己打探到的,然后找他求证,还能让魏渊对我刮目相看,若是被骗,也不碍事,说明我小心谨慎,没有轻信于人。 ........... ........... In the afternoon, Xu Qi'an that comes out from Noble Spirit Building, in the mind is reverberating the Wei Yuan words: Duke Cao and North Guarding Prince wear pants. 午后,从浩气楼出来的许七安,脑海里回荡着魏渊的话:曹国公和镇北王是穿一条裤子的。 Yesterday dusk, received Wang Simu „confidential letter”, he pondered alone for a long time, thought that the credibility was very high, but has not believed rashly. 昨日黄昏,收到王思慕的“密信”,他独自思考了许久,觉得可信度很高,但没有轻率相信。 Today after lunch, looked for the Wei Yuan confirmation, obtained the affirmative answer. 今日午膳过后,找了魏渊验证,得到了肯定的答复。 North Guarding Prince cannot project on one with my eight bamboo poles, this should be the idea of Duke Cao oneself, but I and Duke Cao are not also ripe, what does he make in view of me? 镇北王与我八竿子打不到一处,这应该是曹国公自己的想法,可我与曹国公同样不熟,他针对我做什么？ Vajra Divine Art ....... in the Xu Qi'an mind flashes through this thought. 金刚神功.......许七安脑海里闪过这个念头。 Returns to One Blade Hall on the way, ran into a petty local official, is seeks just in time his, said: „Sir Xu, outside some people look for you.” 返回一刀堂的途中,遇到了一位吏员,正巧是来寻他的,道:“许大人,外头有人找您。” „Who?” The Xu Qi'an vision flashes. “谁？”许七安目光微闪。 „The person on Huai Royal Residence.” Petty local official reply. “淮王府上的人。”吏员回答。 Huai Royal Residence ....... Xu Qi'an puts out foul air: „Knew.” 淮王府.......许七安吐出一口浊气:“知道了。” He turns around immediately, walks toward the yamen outside, to the alley entrance, seeing a luxurious carriage to anchor in the roadside. Two rows of wearing armor and carrying weapons armed soldiers guard near the carriage. 他当即转身,往衙门外走去,到了衙门口,看见一辆奢华的马车停靠在路边。两列披坚执锐的甲士守卫在马车边。 Sees Xu Qi'an to come out, immediately has the guard to convey a message: „But Silver Gong Xu?” 见许七安出来,立刻就有守卫过来传话:“可是许银锣？” Xu Qi'an nods. 许七安点点头。 Of „General Chu in car(riage) you.” Waits on to defend traditional moral principles. “褚将军在车里等您。”侍卫道。 ..... Hesitates for several seconds, he arrives at the carriage with the guard, hearing inside to transmit the male vigorous voice: „Comes to speak.” .....沉吟几秒,他随着侍卫来到马车边,听见里面传来男子浑厚的嗓音:“进来说话。” In the sound has a long time to occupy the high-rank the tone, is more like ordering. 声音里带着一股久居上位的语气,更像是在命令。 Xu Qi'an boards the carriage, enters the compartment. 许七安登上马车,进入车厢。 In the spacious compartment, is sitting well a whiskers man, he wears the lilac gown, square face, the skin is dark, the vision circulation like the electricity, the sharp qi is threatening. 宽敞的车厢里,端坐着一位络腮胡男子,他穿着浅紫色的袍子,国字脸,皮肤黝黑,目光流转如电,锐气逼人。 The whiskers man gave a hand signal of invitation, hints Xu Qi'an to take a seat, the vigorous voice said: 络腮胡男人做了一个请的手势,示意许七安入座,浑厚的嗓音说道: „Heard that the Silver Gong Xu younger male cousin was involved in the imperial civil service examination embezzlement.” “听说许银锣的堂弟卷入了科举舞弊案中。” Xu Qi'an is staring at him, the probe said: „General is ........” 许七安盯着他,试探道:“将军是........” The whiskers man replies briefly and to the point: „Chu Xianglong, North Guarding Prince vice general.” 络腮胡男人言简意赅的回复:“褚相龙,镇北王的副将。” The North Guarding Prince vice general ......... Xu Qi'an narrowed the eye immediately, „General should not guard the north, how to return to the capital?” 镇北王的副将.........许七安顿时眯起了眼,“将军不应该镇守北方吗,怎么回京了？” „This is not your Silver Gong should ask.” Whiskers man light say/way. “这不是你一个银锣该问的。”络腮胡男人淡淡道。 His stopped, continued: „this general looks for you, makes a transaction.” 他停顿了一下,继续说:“本将军找你,是做一笔交易。” „General please say.” “将军请说。” „Hands over Vajra Divine Art the law of practicing, this general helps you fish from the firmness.” Chu Xianglong vision brilliant is staring at him. “交出金刚神功的修行之法,本将军帮你把人从牢里捞出来。”褚相龙目光灼灼的盯着他。 Really for Vajra Divine Art, yes, where has martial artist to meet does not keep thinking about this to protect body divine art, in Monk Shen Shu Indestructible Body, has Vajra Divine Art, even high grade martial artist, still greedy this cultivation technique ........ 果然是为了金刚神功,也是,哪有武夫会不惦记这门护体神功,神殊和尚的不灭之躯里,就有金刚神功,即使是高品武夫,也眼馋这门功法........ Then, Duke Cao and this person are planning my Vajra Divine Art, takes advantage, seizes the advantage from here ........ 这么说来,曹国公和此人在谋划我的金刚神功,趁火打劫,从我这里攫取好处........ „Buddhism Indestructible Vajra, non- and other idlers can study, must have the big chance.” The Xu Qi'an reminder said. “佛门的金刚不败,非等闲人能学,得有大机缘。”许七安提醒道。 „Does not need you to remind me, you have learned Vajra Divine Art, the explanation have clearly become aware the deep meaning, records the Vajra Divine Art deep meaning, can practice successfully, this is the this general oneself matter.” Chu Xianglong sends out a reassuring medicine: “不需要你提醒我,你既已学会金刚神功,说明已明悟其中奥义,将金刚神功的奥义刻录出来,能不能修成,这是本将军自己的事。”褚相龙发出一枚定心丸: „So long as you record the divine art deep meaning, the this general own means fish the person.” “只要你刻录出神功奥义,本将军自有办法捞人。” Your this wants to knock the bone to attract the marrow from here incessantly, do you also want to play with my intelligence quotient while convenient? Xu Qi'an sneers at heart, asks: 你这不止是想从我这里敲骨吸髓,你顺带还想玩弄一下我的智商？许七安心里冷笑,问道: „May I ask General, how to fish the person?” “敢问将军,如何捞人？” „My own means.” Chu Xianglong calm reply. “我自有办法。”褚相龙沉稳回答。 „Behind this case involves broadly, intriguing, these civil officials will not listen your. General does not want, when I am a three -year-old child.” Xu Qi'an impolite sneering. “此案背后牵扯极广,错综复杂,那些文官可不会听你的。将军不要当我是三岁小孩。”许七安不客气的冷笑。 „I only said fish the person, had not said that takes off/escapes the crime for him.” Chu Xianglong that pair of making a great show of one's talents look is staring at Xu Qi'an, said: “我只说捞人,没说为他脱罪。”褚相龙那双锋芒毕露的眼神盯着许七安,道: „ He is an unimportant person, no one will really cling to for dear life to him does not put, I had confidence that makes him punish leniently, most drags three years, can attend the imperial civil service examination. “他不过是个小人物,没人真的会对他死缠不放,我有把握让他从轻处罚,最多拖个三年,就能重新参加科举。 „By Yunlu Academy in painstakingly planning of Qing Province, that can be he best destination.” “以云鹿书院在青州的苦心经营,那会是他最好的去处。” The Xu Qi'an vision flashes, said: „Good!
