Soon after...

The inn actually became popular.

The firelight reflected in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes.

Deep in Emperor Hongzhi's eyes, the fire was leaping, but he kept pursing his lips and holding his hands behind his back, without saying a word, and just looked at the dazzling fire in silence.

Fang Jifan was also silent.

He glanced at Emperor Hongzhi. Although Emperor Hongzhi did not show too much expression, he seemed to be able to feel the overwhelming anger in Emperor Hongzhi's heart.

Fang Jifan naturally understood Emperor Hongzhi's mood.

This is a provocation to the imperial power. It is so naked that there is no fig leaf, and the disguise of etiquette and integrity, and it is stripped clean.

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a blank expression, but said calmly: "If the prince is here, how will he deal with this matter?"

Fang Jifan thought about it but did not answer.

Emperor Hongzhi's face finally showed a little gloomy. However, the emperor, who had always been kind, tightened his face and said lightly: "This is a hidden danger. I was completely unaware of such a huge hidden danger at the beginning. If I don't bear it today, then my descendants will bear it in the future."

Fang Jifan immediately understood what His Majesty meant.

Emperor Hongzhi was a strange emperor because he seemed to have the meaning of life lies in overcoming obstacles for his children and grandchildren. He had no hobbies, did not know how to enjoy, did not love beauties, did not like women, and even... he was not enthusiastic about power, nor did he be happy with merit, as if he had no desires, but... Fang Jifan understood that he had pursuits, but this pursuit was more noble than most emperors and fathers.

Emperor Hongzhi turned around, as if he had returned from the darkness on the deck to the brightly lit world, and returned to the Qinhuai River here, a place where many people were drunk.

So, he asked Turtle Nu to pour tea, and he took a sip, as if no one was right.

He seemed hungry, so he ordered people to serve wine and food. The food in Jiangnan was extremely exquisite, especially those that served the scholars and scholars. No matter which one was, the coarse food in the capital, even if it was filled with more delicacies, it seemed that it was a little rough.

Emperor Hongzhi ate very delicious, but he was very silent. He seemed to have a good appetite. After he had eaten it, he looked up: "Xiaoling is not far away, right?"

Fang Jifan thought for a while and said, "Xiaoling is in Zijin Mountain, I'm afraid there is some distance."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "I am the unworthy grandson of Emperor Gao."

Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty wants to go to Xiaoling Mausoleum?"

"When I came to Nanjing, how could I not go to see Emperor Gao? Emperor Taizu Gao took the world with a three-foot sword with a commoner and unified the Chinese and barbarians. Since the creation of the world, it has never been seen in the past. He ruled the world with severe punishments and harsh laws, and many people complained. I was ignorant in the past. I always thought that Emperor Taizu Gao was harsh and harsh, so all the ministers were in danger. I sighed that although Emperor Gao had made great achievements in the world, he was still beautiful and flawed. But today I think about it, but it is not entirely true. Emperor Taizu Gao is familiar with people's hearts and cannot be human.

He started from the turbulent grass and was in a chaotic world. The world he saw was full of devastation and the ugliness of people. Taizu looked at it all, and he was very clear about everything, just like a fire. I... I have been in power for decades, and Emperor Taizu Gao was able to succeed the throne. Drink water and think about the source, but I thought that it was unworthy that I had never visited Xiaoling in person for decades. Today... I should go and take a look, and in the Enjoy Hall, in front of the spirit of the ancestors and the ancestors in heaven, reflect on their own faults. Go to Xiaoling."

Fang Jifan nodded: "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements now. The Xiaoling Mausoleum is absolutely safe. After all, there are Xiaoling Mausoleum guards there, and all the Xiaoling Mausoleum guards are loyal and dedicated. It is best for Your Majesty to be there. Moreover, it is only a short distance from Nanjing. At the same time, it eliminates the troubles in Nanjing... Your Majesty's arrangement is a stone's eyebrow and I admire you."

"Okay, don't flatter it." Emperor Hongzhi said coldly without expression on his face: "I don't need these flatteries."

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood, and he was less patient than usual.

Fang Jifan almost wailed: "Your Majesty, my son's words are all heartfelt words. Even if he has opened his heart, he will never change his heart. He will be determined and will never regret death."

at night……

The weather is a little cold.

There was no joy of silk and bamboo in this flower boat. The colorful flower boats cruised quietly on the Qinhuai River, slowly walking, facing the lights of thousands of families behind them, slowly swimming towards the stars. The sweeping water patterns cut the bright moon reflected in the river to pieces.

……………………

Qi Mansion, backyard.

In this hall, Qi Zhiyuan was just a member of the last seat.

Sitting high in the first place was an old man who seemed to have just finished his duties, wearing official clothes and a black hat was placed on the coffee table.

In addition, there were a few people who were accompanying the moon like stars.

The old man was eating tea, looking slowly, and next door were a few musicians playing and singing. The faint tune floated in. The old man closed his eyes slightly, while tasting tea, listening to the tunes, occasionally putting down the tea cup, gently beat the rhythm, his head swayed slightly, and then he smiled.

Qi Zhiyuan obviously did not have such a kind of mind. He kept looking out, looking uneasy.

At this moment, rapid steps came from outside.

Finally...there is news.

So Qi Zhiyuan was so busy that he coughed loudly.

The musician next door seemed to hear the signal, so the song came to an abrupt end.

So... the old man's brows were locked deep.

It seemed that because I heard the most touching thing, but Qi Zhiyuan was disturbed.

However... he seemed to be a very well-educated person. Even if he was disturbed by others, he had no intention of blame. His brows slowly relaxed, and his face gradually became gentler. He raised the teacup but did not drink it. He only lowered his head and wrinkled the tea water and blew away the tea foam.

The people outside hurried in and said, "Master, Master... the tiger has news."

This is the head of the Qi family.

The hall was very dark, and everyone's expressions became a little blurred.

But... in this dim hall, it was like a silent drama. Everyone in the hall was silent.

The head of the inn said again: "The tiger in Taihu brought hundreds of brothers and suddenly attacked the inn. All the people he brought were good at using swords and crossbows, and they also attacked again. More than 20 people were killed... but... they left a living mouth."

The old man frowned slightly again.

Qi Zhiyuan finally stood up and said sternly: "How could there be a living mouth? Didn't it be agreed that there will be no chicken or dog? What's going on? Could it be that the bandits in Taihu Lake, the dog who claims to be a tiger, deliberately wanted to hold a living mouth and threaten us? Ha... he is a thing, just a pawn. How dare he do this? Tomorrow... he will suppress them and let them die without a burial place."

"No." The head of the head shook his head and said, "It was a mistake... During the day, the imperial envoy and the imperial envoy's entourage were the young, handsome, but extremely greedy, and lazy guy... They... were not in the inn..."

"What..." Qi Zhiyuan's body shook, and his face turned violently bad.

People are not here...

Qi Zhiyuan's forehead suddenly became tense and he said anxiously: "Didn't you ask someone to stare at me before?"

"The key to the problem... is here..." said the main person: "Precisely because the person is not there, the tiger in Taihu Water Village left a living mouth and found a way to find out the whereabouts of the two."

“Where did they go?”

"No... I don't know, the person staring at him said, several doors were staring at, and there was no whereabouts, but... but... they guessed that maybe... they slipped away from the back door."

"Did they notice it?" Qi Zhiyuan shivered and his eyebrows were twisted into the character "Sichuan".

If the other party is prepared, then... everything will be finished.

"Maybe it wasn't noticed." The headman said: "The Qinhuai River is connected to the Qinhuai River at the back of the inn. There are many flower boats in the Qinhuai River... The villain saw that young man in the daytime, that delicious... This man looked evil. Although he had a face like a jade, he always looked idle. He looked like he was overly yuu. In the past ten, he had a bit of preference for this. But after all, they came here to do business. If they were going there, they were probably afraid of impeachment by the censor. Master, you know... they... always have to avoid some things, so..."

"Have you checked?"

"I found out that there was a flower boat. The person on the top said that a group of strange guests came, who had preference for men, and were willing to spend money and spent money like soil. This imperial envoy really couldn't see it. He was so generous in the daytime, but I didn't know how much money he had put in his arms... But... I heard that they seemed to have wanted to find a man at the beginning, but later because the inn caught fire, they changed their minds, hurriedly searched for the place, and left."

"It seems... they noticed the danger and ran away." Qi Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Even if he digs three feet of the ground for me, even if he clears the official army of the guards in Nanjing, and the three religions and all the various corpses in Nanjing will be investigated and secretly investigated and insisted on placing these two people..."

He said this...

The old man suddenly spoke: "Why do you have to kill them all?"

After he said this, Qi Zhiyuan turned around in surprise: "Mr., didn't you agree..."

"Our purpose is to confirm the serious crime of treason in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, so we have to kill the imperial envoy. Although the imperial envoy is not dead, his conduct is being attacked and his entourage is almost completely dead. At this time, he will think, who is this group of people?"

“You mean…”

"It doesn't matter whether this person dies or not. Now... we are sure to win. Next is the time for the Duke of Wei's Mansion to be in a panic, but... they will not be able to wash it out even if they jump into the Yellow River."

The old man paused and said, "Next, it should be time for someone to submit a memorial... I think it won't take long to go ahead, Jiangnan will not be peaceful. It's good that His Majesty will not be able to see his country, and it's better..."

When the old man said this, his mouth bent slightly and he smiled at himself.
