Chapter 234 A Coffin

There are two names written on the two sheets of paper on the desk, one is A Li and the other is Shen Lie.

Ah Li was written by Guo Ting, and Shen Lie was written by Fang Guanyan.

Guo Ting's topic of continuing to be talented is aimed at Shen Lie on paper.

This piece of paper was taken out and pushed in the middle of the desk.

The ink stains have dried, and the color that was originally illuminated by the candlelight gradually fades away.

There has been a saying that Shen Lie's so-called study in Beijing was actually sent by Guo Shu to be a hostage under the eyes of Emperor Xuanyan.

When Shen Lie first arrived in Beijing, there were very few people who came to see others, but after the accident at Chongtiantai, the number of visits gradually increased, but he declined all of them because of illness, and he had hardly been out of Guo's mansion since he arrived in Beijing. None of the universities reported it.

A person who has no sense of existence at all, low-key and quiet, as if dead. Now there are rumors that he is timid and afraid, hiding at home and not daring to come out. Some say that he is really sick and will die soon. He came to the capital to recuperate.

Fang Guanyan picked up a pen and drew a map on the paper.

"This is the place he has been to for the past year. Take a look at his whereabouts and see how he compares with the children of those aristocratic families in the capital." Fang Guanyan said.

Everyone didn't know why he drew so many zigzagging routes and place names at first, but now hearing what he said, they couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

"He has been to so many places," Guo Ting said, "He is only fifteen years old, right?"

"Yes," Fang Guanyan nodded, "he has visited more places in one year than I have in half my life."

"Amazing," Yang Guanxian exclaimed, "Walking far away, down-to-earth, you will gain something, you can make strides, and people who work tirelessly are more or less better than me, who has a good eye, let alone such a young man. rare."

"Don't rush to boast, it's not clear whether this person is good or evil." Fang Guanyan said.

Yang Guanxian smiled and looked at him: "Brother Fang, what you said is wrong. What is good and what is evil, we don't count. If you say it's an enemy or a friend, it's more pleasant. How can you put it on your face?" Sticking gold, saying that you are kind, haha!"

Fang Guanyan glanced at him, without arguing with him, he continued: "Shen Lie lives in the Guo Mansion now, do you remember where it is?"

"Guo Mansion is Guo Mansion, where can it be?" Shi Yi asked.

Guo Ting pondered for a while, then he was stunned: "Guo Mansion, is it the place where the prince used to temporarily store Miss Xia's books?"

"Yes." Fang Guanyan nodded.

The faces of the people finally changed.

What Xia Zhaoyi was most praised for during her lifetime was not her virtue and appearance, but her intelligence. It is said that the books she read and collected were all unworldly wisdom, and many of them were solitary ancient books left by her ancestors. , Vientiane Qianqiu, down to the mountains and rivers of the world, the floating world and the common people.Xia Zhaoyi can do astrology with bare hands, can observe the sky and measure the rain, and can understand people's hearts. These skills come from what she has learned, and it doesn't mean that someone can pass them on. But if this person is Shen Lie, whom everyone is not familiar with...

"Shen Lie is intelligent, among the Guo family's peers, he is the smartest one," Fang Guanyan said, "He will definitely read these books. I am afraid that we will have to guard against this person in the future."

"Aren't you thinking too much?" Guo Ting said with a frown, "What do you mean by defense?"

Fang Guanyan looked at him: "What do you think it means?"

Guo Ting is all too familiar with this look in Youguang.

Guo Ting looked at the word "Shen Lie" on the table, but didn't speak, and his expression was not very good-looking.

He didn't like this. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with Fang Guanyan out of his standpoint, such behavior always made him feel uncomfortable.

Maybe because I teach in an academy, it is inevitable that I love talents in my heart?
Guo Ting didn't know either.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, a little anxious.

The crowd looked back.

The door was directly pushed open from the outside, and Yang Guanxian's most trusted attendant came in anxiously, and said, "Master, something serious happened, Tianrongwei is looking around for people, and Pan Canzheng's family went there half an hour ago. At least half of my husband has been taken away, and those Tianrongwei are now walking towards Huangning West Street."

Everyone was stunned.

"what?"

"The reason?"

Yang Guanxian also said, "Do you know the reason?"

The entourage shook his head, paused, and said: "Master, Huangning West Street, Huiping's pawn shop is there."

"It may not be related to the pawn shop..." Guo Ting said lightly.

Shi Yi got up: "I'll go back and check it out first, and you all should be careful. It's not peaceful recently, and many things may affect us at any time."

"Okay," Fang Guanyan also stood up, "I'll go back first, and I have to send someone to Yu's mansion tomorrow."

"Wait," Yang Guanxian yelled, "Drink some wine downstairs first, drink more, in case someone bumps into you, there will be an explanation."

"En." Fang Guanyan nodded.

Guo Ting also left. He didn't drink well, so he poured a lot of wine on his body, which smelled very strong.

Yang Guanxian kept him here, but Guo Ting was worried about the academy, so he insisted on leaving.

The cold night is desolate, not far away there is an orange light in the sky, separated by a few long streets, it seems like two worlds, one side is silent and the other side is noisy.

Guo Ting hurriedly walked across several streets to go back to the academy. On the way, he met several teams of patrolling guards, who were called and questioned for a while before letting him go.

Many residents along the street could not sleep soundly. Many people quietly put on their clothes and got up in the dark to look at the windows.

Several groups of soldiers were very fast, almost running, and the movement caused by the sound of footsteps seemed to be stepping on people's hearts, which made people panic for no reason.

Shen Lie opened the door and came out, looking out of the courtyard, he was still reading and didn't take off his clothes.

Shi Shi just came back from inquiring in the front yard, and when he saw this, he stepped forward and shouted: "Master."

"What happened outside?" Shen Lie asked.

"Many teachers and stewards of Dongping Academy were taken away," Shitou replied, "A lot of soldiers and horses came, and I heard that they were particularly fierce."

"Did you come to our house to ask questions?"

Stone shook his head: "No."

Shen Lie frowned slightly, and nodded. At this moment, a scream came from the other side of the sky, and the cry was very shrill.

Shen Lie and Shi Shi looked at the same time.

"Go." Shen Lie said with a frown.

To the south of Guo's house is the intersection of two avenues, a very empty intersection, a coffin is parked in the middle of the cold stone road, and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop next to him is screaming.

He was awakened by the movement outside. After waking up at night, he came back and saw a coffin on the street. He brought up the lamp out of curiosity, and when he saw the dead body inside the coffin, he sat down on the ground in fright.

The screams attracted many people, as well as the patrolling guards not far away. Several patrolling gunmen ran over and stopped in surprise when they saw the coffin in the middle of the road.

　The dog at home was poisoned, and the six four-month-old puppies are gone, ε=(ο｀*))) Well, fortunately, the two-year-old one was discharged from the hospital today, it’s okay, after the funeral, please keep it up.
