Chapter 74

When Su Rao arrived at Palm Fang Pavilion, Yan Yun and Jin Xu were sitting in the gazebo by the stream drinking tea, the tea was rich and sweet, with a rich aroma.

"Ah Yun said you were coming, and you did."

Jin Xu poured a cup of tea with a smile, and pushed it in her direction. Su Rao saw that the expressions of the two of them were normal, especially Yan Yun, who was dressed in a blue-colored dark silver-patterned gown with a collar, and sat there like a jade mountain. The top of the snow is indescribably elegant and dusty.

To be able to say this, I think I have already got the news.

He was so calm, it seemed that Su Rao was in a hurry, she calmed down, walked slowly into the gazebo, and sat down in the empty seat beside her.

He casually slapped the tea leaves floating in the eye pot.

Immediately, Su Rao raised her hand to bring the fragrance to the tip of her nose, and said with a light smile, "As expected of the Phoenix Narcissus with the reputation of 'beautiful in color and shape, rich in fragrance and sweet in taste', it is really good tea."

As she spoke, she took a sip of the tea cup.

For a while, the lips and teeth are fragrant, and I just feel endless aftertaste.

"Ah Rao is very knowledgeable. This tea is produced in the Linhai area. It is not common here in Yunzhou. How did you recognize it?"

Jinxu asked with great interest.

Su Rao replied with a smile: "My father likes tea. In addition to collecting tea leaves, he also has a lot of rare books about tea ceremony and tea scriptures. I looked through them when I was bored, and I remembered some."

I didn't expect her to bring up her late father. About these things, Jin Xu heard about these things from Zhuyan last night, fearing that she would be sad if she thought about the old man, so she hurriedly interrupted: "It's a pity that the tea master in my mansion is staying in the capital. , otherwise with his craftsmanship, the taste can be further improved."

"After returning to Beijing, I will definitely invite you, Ah Rao, to try it."

"Okay."

Su Rao responded with a shallow smile, her eyes drooping, unable to see any emotions, Jin Xu hurriedly winked at Yan Yun, talk!

Didn't you see the cold scene?
Yan Yun thought for a while, folded his sleeves with one hand and put down the teacup, and said softly, "Don't you have something to discuss with me?"

Hearing this, Jin Xu turned her head to look at him in shock. She was still in the mood to discuss something at this time. Couldn't it be a few words of comfort in a soft voice to reassure the girl?
He is fine, what is he talking about!
"I think so..."

Jin Xu was about to smooth things over, but just as she opened her mouth, she saw Su girl who was 'downcast' suddenly raised her eyelids, and said, "My lord knows what's going on outside, what's your plan next?"

"Song Daiyan can't move for now."

Yan Yun said something directly.

Su Rao nodded slightly, didn't say much, raised her hand and took out an account book from her sleeve, after returning home last night, she was disturbed by Jin Xu, and directly forgot to take it out.

I didn't remember it until I got back to the yard, so I flipped through it casually.

This time, I really gained a lot of knowledge.

"Let's take a look first, son."

Of course Yan Yun wanted to read it. He picked up the account book and flipped through it, his white jade-like fingers gliding in the slightly yellowed thin paper, his posture calm, like a picture scroll.

But Su Rao didn't want to appreciate it.

Jin Xu leaned over to look curiously. As soon as he got close, Yan Yun reminded him casually: "Be careful of the distance."

"You are a big man, how can you look awkward like a girl."

Having said that, Jin Xu still didn't move forward any further, his eyes were fixed on the content above, and after reading a few pages, he was amazed: "It is said that the prefect has been cleared for three years, one hundred thousand snowflakes, this Song Daiyan As a county magistrate, why does it take three years, when he was promoted to this position in eight years, the bribes he received were as high as 10,000+ taels in just a few days."

"That's not considered antique jade."

Yan Yun was not surprised, and said calmly: "Yunzhou is located in an important pass, with Minzhou on the left, Jinchuan and Dongzhou on the right, and Yanmen on the south. Households gather, and even a little oil and water leaking out from between the fingers should not be underestimated."

"It makes sense."

Jin Xu nodded thoughtfully, and pointed at a line of words on the account book, "Look, Mr. Song is a man of business. He has been working for nine years, and Yunlai Trading Company just gave him a gift. A coral tree, he handed it over to the superior."

"I would definitely be reluctant to replace me."

Yan Yun concentrated on watching, and Jin Xu's exclamation came from the side from time to time, and he waited until he finished watching and put the things down, his face was cold, and his eyes seemed to be covered with clouds.

"With this booklet, Ah Yun, you will save a lot of trouble on this trip to the south."

Jin Xu didn't realize that something was wrong with the person beside him at all, so he talked for a while, but seeing no one answered him, he asked in confusion, "Why didn't you talk?"

"Shouldn't it be a good thing to get the key evidence?"

At this time, the tea was boiling, and the hot air hit the lid of the teapot, making a sharp whistling sound, cutting through the dead silence in the pavilion like a sharp knife.

Yan Yun tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes condensed: "A booklet involving nearly [-]% of the officials in Yunzhou, do you think it is a good thing?"

Jinxu choked for a moment, unable to speak.

These are just the transactions recorded by Song Daiyan alone, and the others don't know how many there are.

The most important thing is that a rope called interests binds these powerful people on the same rope. They help each other, advance together and retreat together. Wherever they start, it will immediately arouse the hostility of others.

From civil servants to the military, they almost cover the sky with one hand!
Fortunately, Yan Yun chose to make an unannounced visit from the very beginning, pinched seven inches, and went straight to the vital point. Only then did he find Song Daiyan's breakthrough from the layers of defense.

But once he is dealt with, others must be vigilant.

When the time comes to start investigating the case again, I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

Unless all the evidence can be found at one time and these people are arrested and questioned, even if Yan Yun has the support of His Majesty and comes with the imperial decree, he can only stare blankly when there is insufficient evidence.

Su Rao knew this, so she agreed with Yan Yun's decision.

It is definitely not the best choice to scare the snake.

"Song Daiyan can't move, but Shi Yi and those from the Wuwei Escort must be rescued. If the charges are confirmed, several lives will be lost in vain."

Su Rao stared at Yan Yun with deep eyes, and said softly, "What's your idea, young master?"

"How do you know that I will definitely intervene in this matter?"

The advantages and disadvantages are so obvious, Song Daiyan is not comparable to Liu Zhang, and it is inevitable to deal with him. The prefect of the county was convicted, and the officialdom in Yunzhou was shaken.

He, the imperial envoy who hides in the dark and has various advantages such as the right time, place and people, must be exposed in front of others.

The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, and is blocked everywhere from here, and is restrained by others.

Why did she think that Yan Yun would give up the good situation and put herself in this whirlpool?

Yan Yun was very curious.

When Su Rao heard this, a faint and soft smile appeared in her long and narrow phoenix eyes, her pupils were as clear as a spring, and her voice was soft but firm: "Your Majesty invited me to walk this road for the livelihood of the people of Li, and swing a knife at the enemy. Ten thousand people are Limin, and one person is Limin, if you abandon Shi Yi and others in order to avoid the ups and downs in the future, what is your original intention when you and I stand here today?"

 I'm here, I'm here, I'm here to apologize to everyone.

  Suddenly there are a lot of recommendation votes, which makes me very happy.
