Chapter 221 Heart Trace (1)

In Kyoto in February, the endless rain began again.It rained heavily yesterday, and it rained again today, which is annoying for nothing.

Ning Shuo went to the Ministry of Officials with an umbrella.Now he is following Bu Yuchuan to investigate the case, and all officials, big and small, recognize him. Seeing him coming to the Yasi, some officials smiled and said, "Master Ning San, but what orders does Boss Bu Yuchuan have?"

Ning Shuo: "Yes, my lord ordered me to fetch some lists of tributes and candidates over the years."

The little official was worried, "What do you want this for? How many years will it take?"

Ning Shuo: "Nearly 20 years."

He didn't reply to the previous sentence, and the little official didn't ask, but he probably knew what it would be used for, so he took him to find the master book, "It will take nearly 20 years, and this will require the permission of the master book. It’s not enough, you still have to get the consent of Lord Shangshu, but Lord Shangshu is receiving guests, so I can only lead you to see the master book.”

He has no way to meet Lord Shangshu, but the master can.

Ning Shuo: "I'm tired."

Petty official: "What should be done, dare not talk about fatigue."

But the director was not there, saying that he went to the Ministry of Rites to coordinate the transfer of the lower division.The little official was a little nervous. He came from a poor family and rose all the way up. He had only been an official for four or five years.

Do you want Third Young Master Ning to wait here or take someone directly to Master Shang Shu?

He turned his head and wanted to find someone for advice, but everyone was busy, and he was reserved, so he hesitated for a while whether to ask someone to help him.

Seeing his embarrassment, Ning Shuo said, "Since Wu Shangshu is busy, I'll wait here."

The little official wiped his sweat, "Okay, okay, then please wait for Third Young Master Ning."

He took Ning Shuo to sit in the reception hall, and ran away by himself.

There are already several people in it, all of whom were selected from the local area and transferred to Kyoto this year.

Ning Shuo didn't even know each other, so he just greeted him with a smile, and then took a sip of a cup of tea.The few people inside saw that he was handsome and extravagant, so they didn't dare to offend him.One of them stared at him for a few times, but he didn't look back in time. Ning Shuo Youyou took a look at him while holding the tea, and blushed in embarrassment.

This man's name is Fu Suibo, and he came from Wanzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.He has been a tribute to Jingtai for 18 years and has worked abroad for many years. He was transferred to Kyoto this year, and he has been promoted quickly.So there is a reason why the officials are busy these few days. After the new year, it is their business to take office.

Fu Suibo was born in a small family, and he didn't have any great help behind him, so he sat in this hall. Most of the people who can sit here are sitting on the bench. Otherwise, it's here Shang Shu also had to accompany him.He was very curious, why did the person in front of him come here because he was obviously a noble person.

Fusuibo knows a lot of people, but the young man in front of him doesn't look very big, but his eyes are like clouds and mist, which makes it hard to see clearly. If he can go smoothly in the future, he should have a bright future.He wanted to be friendly, and when he was glanced at, he also looked over and said, "Your brother is also here for transfer?"

Ning Shuo shook his head, "No."

"I was just sent by my lord to pick up some documents."

Without waiting for the other person's reaction, he asked, "Your Excellency's accent doesn't look like a Kyoto native?"

Fu Suibo nodded, "I'm from Wanzhou, and I went back to Wanzhou to be an official after I passed the exam."

Ning Shuo: "Outstanding people have emerged from Wanzhou, and the future is boundless, my lord."

Fu Suibo was about to compliment the opposite party, when he heard footsteps, the Master Registrar they were waiting for finally came back from the Ministry of Rites after a long delay.

Fu Suibo stood up, and just as he was about to salute, he saw the director bowing to Ning Shuo, "Master Ning, I've been waiting for a long time, and this idiot doesn't know how to get things for you, but asks you to wait."

The little official blushed, and kept apologizing, "It's the lower officials who are ignorant."

Ning Shuo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not an official now, I'm just an errand runner."

"Furthermore, the Yasi has the rules of the Yasi, and it should be done."

The little official was grateful, "I'll lead you there right now."

Now, even Master Shangshu doesn't need to ask for instructions.

Ning Shuo responded with a smile, like a spring breeze, and waved goodbye to several people in the hall, and then walked out with the master secretary and the junior officials.

After waiting for him to go out, Fu Suibo asked in surprise, "Who is this person?"

One of them thought about it for a while, and said, "In the entire capital, how many people named Ning can be as magnificent as him?"

Fu Suibo is not a fool, he immediately came back to his senses, "It's the third young master of Duke Ningguo's mansion. Then he said just now that he came to fetch things for his lord—isn't it Mr. Buyuchuan?"

The man nodded and said, "We all know about the case Boss Bu Yuchuan is working on recently... He came here to pick up things, what can he get?"

……

"I don't know what the boss wants these lists for?"

The master book took the booklet, but he didn't let him take it away, saying: "If you want to take a look at it here, it's fine, but if you want to take it away, I'm afraid I can only copy it."

In 20 years, there have only been seven imperial examinations, but there are so many people, how can they be copied.And now that the people in the official department are so busy, how can someone come and transcribe it.

Ning Shuo: "I'll just do it myself. After I finish reading, I'll take back the name my husband asked for."

The chief bookkeeper asked again, "What do you want, my lord?"

Ning Shuo smiled, looked up at him, the mist in his eyes thickened, and he didn't reply a word.

After he left, the master thought about it again and again, and still asked someone to bring news to King Jin.

"Tell Prince Jin that Master Buyuchuan is checking the list of tributes for nearly 20 years."

On the other side, Ning Shuo went to Buyu's mansion again.The person in charge said: "Master Ning San, the boss is much better, tell us to go see him as soon as you come."

Ning Shuo nodded, and quickened his pace, Yu Xingzhi was also in front of the bed, and when he saw him coming, he gave up his seat.

Bu Yuchuan coughed, "Where did you go this morning?"

Ning Shuo: "The Ministry of Officials. I asked them for the roster of tributes for nearly 20 years."

Yu Xingzhi frowned, "What do you want this for?"

Ning Shuo: "Aristocratic family from a poor family, court place, imperial court officials - no matter what they are fighting for, it is nothing more than the fact that the party is united against dissidents. Sui Boying was born in Muzhou, Jiangnan, and studied in Yuzhou Academy. He also had close relations with the officials in the Jiangnan area of ​​the court Okay, but after he died, I checked carefully, but nothing was said for him."

"I thought it was because everyone was afraid to speak up, or because the prince didn't speak up, and they were not easy to betray—but the more I investigated, I found that the truth is far from that."

"I just want to go and see how the officials in this place in the south of the Yangtze River are now, and how they are."

Bu Yuchuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Okay, okay, then you can check."

Ning Shuo looked at him, and said dully: "I went back yesterday and thought about it for a long time. I'm afraid this case is not about the dispute between King Jin and the crown prince, nor about the wife's death and testimony. It should be about Sui Boying. The reason for what he chose. The student wanted to see what he chose."

I don't even want my life.

Not even him...not anymore.

Bu Yuchuan closed his eyes, "You actually thought of this step."

He laughed, "The time for Sui Boying's death has not yet come. There will be a descendant who wants to find out about his heart."

He paused, and then asked curiously: "Ah Shuo, what I want is the truth, but what you want seems to be to understand Sui Boying—"

"I really don't know why."

 I have a skin disease and I have to go to the hospital today and tomorrow.

  I owe four more.The update will be around nine o'clock in the evening tomorrow.
