Early in the morning, without any warning

It was raining lightly, and the rain dripped down the eaves and crackled on the leaves in front of the window, Chang Yu turned over and sat up and stretched, looking out the window at the rain and feeling a little surprised.

"The adults are awake" Chen Wangting called out outside, and Chang Yu responded: "Master Chen, go and rest" Since he was assassinated a few months ago, Chang Yu has a habit that someone must be on duty outside the bedroom when he sleeps at night.

Fang San came in with a basin of water and helped Chang Yu comb his hair and wash up.

"Did Chunxiang just fall asleep or just wake up?"

"Father-in-law Chun just fell asleep in the morning" Fang San hurriedly replied, and Chang Yu asked again: "Was it too peaceful in Beijing last night?" ”

"When I chatted with Father-in-law Chun in the morning, I learned that there were fights and brawls last night, but there were a lot fewer in the past, a few of them."

At this time, a fan came in and reported secretly: "Yesterday, Wu Sangui went to meet Zhou Yuji and others for a while, and then met with Tang Tong and Ma Ke alone, and closed the door until dawn."

The corners of Chang Yu's mouth lifted slightly.

A bowl of gruel, a pickle gnocchi, a plate of fried steamed buns, and two eggs, it is difficult for outsiders to imagine that the breakfast of the powerful eunuch of Dongchang is so simple, but even this is beyond the reach of many ordinary people

Although the meal was simple, it was carefully cooked by Fang San and tasted very good to Chang Yu, chewing slowly and swallowing slowly, Jiang Quan bowed behind: "The thief is becoming more and more cautious, and he has not found any clues."

Last night, Chang Yu sent Wu Sangui to visit a friend by the way and go out of the yamen, but in fact, he used himself as a bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

I didn't know that after working all night, I didn't find any clues.

"After the factory went out of the yamen, no one was found to be following him, and no one was found to be visiting around the yamen and the Fuma Mansion," Jiang Quanshen exhaled and said in a low voice.

"It seems that the thief is cautious and spicy, and he is still beyond the expectations of Bendu, he can set up a game in a hurry and adapt to the situation, and he will sink into the sea if he misses a blow, this opponent is not simple" Chang Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Continue to investigate, Bendu is patient, but they can't hold their breath."

"I don't know my humble position, but I also ask the factory for guidance" Jiang Quan was a little confused, bowed down and asked.

Chang Yu got up and glanced out the window: "Although the war in the north is peaceful now, the south is in chaos, and the court has been busy with the military parade recently, and it seems that the south has been secretly preparing, and almost everyone can guess that the war in the south must be supervised by the governor......"

"If the factory man goes south and wants to assassinate in the army, it will undoubtedly ascend to the sky, so the thief will do it before the factory goes south, that is, these days!" Jiang Quan finally got his senses, and his eyes became hot.

"That's right" Chang Yu walked under the eaves, looked at the courtyard and whispered to Fei Fei: "These days are the most idle time for our family, but they are also murderous and secretive."

"I will investigate the lowly position, and I will give an explanation to the factory within three days." Jiang Quan kowtowed and left. Chang Yu shook his head lightly and looked at his back: "If it was so easy, if the case was solved earlier, how could it be your turn to make a profit."

One thing Chang Yu is not wrong, since the class teacher returned to Beijing, these few days have really been his most idle time, and Emperor Chongzhen seems to be treating him, and he almost doesn't look for him if he has nothing to do.

Under the eaves of the east wing, Jiang Fa was instructing Song Luoyu to practice martial arts, and Wu Zhong was lying on the chair looking at it with disdain, pouting from time to time.

"The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, only rigid and unbreakable, your ghost trick is slow and soft like drawing ghost talismans, how powerful can it be."

Jiang Fa was not angry: "No, it's just to draw ghost talismans, and this kung fu will be used to subdue all kinds of demons and monsters."

Wu Zhong snorted coldly: "Luo Yumo wants to learn this ghost talisman, and when I am injured, I will pass on your Bazi fist ......"

"Women should not learn your fierce way, Luo Yu is more suitable for my Tai Chi, which can not only strengthen the body but also maintain health" Jiang Fa grinned, he traveled in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he admired Wu Zhong for a long time, this is a colleague, and the relationship has become more and more intimate.

Moreover, Wu Zhong rolled his eyes, and was about to refute, but he caught a glimpse of Chang Yu standing beside him at some point, and was about to give a salute, but Chang Yu pressed him and sat down gently: "Let's ask you, why is this martial art called kung fu?" ”

"If you don't work hard to hone your superb martial arts skills over time," Wu Zhong slapped his palm as he spoke, and the long solid wood stool beside him broke off in response: "This palm, thirty years of hard work, do you have it?" ”

Chang Yu shook his head lightly in admiration: "No" and got up as he said: "Do you have any silver?" ”

Ah, Wu Zhong looked confused.

"Damage to public property will be punished with compensation, ten taels of silver," Chang Yu said lightly. Wu Zhong immediately jumped up: "This is too dark, right?" caused Jiang Fa and Song Luoyu to laugh.

"Are the three of you in the Yamen, where can you see where Li Muxian went?" After the gag, Chang Yu suddenly asked.

Jiang Fa shook his head: "The Taoist of Fang disappeared on the second day after returning to Beijing."

"That bull nose is not a good person, so he has to get drunk in a gentle township" Song Luoyu looked disdainful.

"Don't talk nonsense, if one party leaves with a little Taoist boy, how can he go to look for flowers and ask Liu, and besides, he is a monk......" Chang Yu reprimanded.

Hey, Song Luoyu rolled his eyes: "He's not a serious monk, I happened to see him in and out of the flower building before, and he sneakily thought that no one knew......"

Jiang Fa and Wu Zhong lowered their heads and sneered, Chang Yu couldn't say anything more, and said casually: "Our family wants to go out to relax, and I'll bother Master Jiang for a trip."

"Humble Order" Jiang Fa arched his hand and hurriedly went back to the room to pretend to prepare, Song Luoyu came over: "My lord, Master Jiang is thin on his own, so he is allowed to go with him."

Chang Yu nodded, and Wu Zhong shouted beside him: "Just in case, it's better to bring more people, it's better to transfer the personal guards......

Chang Yu shook his head: "Thieves are not so arrogant in broad daylight, and it is too ostentatious to go out for a walk and make such a big scene."

The sky was dark and rainy, and there were few pedestrians on the street in the early morning, Chang Yu walked out of the yamen with an oilcloth umbrella, looked up and looked around, and walked towards the alley.

Out of the alley, Chang Yu looked left and right again, and looked up at the towering imperial city wall in front of him, and then walked slowly towards the north.

If you ask Chang Yu where he is going, even he doesn't know himself, he just wants to walk around and enjoy this rare leisure, no military affairs, no political troubles, no need to deal with complicated interpersonal relationships and no intrigue with anyone.

A tarpaulin umbrella, walking aimlessly on the side of the street through the streets and alleys, the victory of the Ming army made the people of the capital excited for many days, and now they have finally calmed down a little and have to face the cruel reality of life.

After months of war, not to mention the lack of livelihood for the people outside the city, even the lives of the people in the capital are also in dire straits, and many people can not bear the price rise alone.

In front of a grain and oil store, Chang Yu held an umbrella and looked closely at the gloomy mist on the faces of the people who bought rice, and then looked at a few beggars kneeling under the eaves not far away holding broken bowls.

I am used to seeing the wealthy families in the capital spending money like dirt, and I also see the lights outside the front door, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who entered Beijing to pay homage to the imperial capital also sighed at the prosperity of the capital, but they didn't know that this emperor had another side, dark and real.

The plague is still raging all over the city, and the refugees who have come in due to the war, and the beggars all over the city, are everywhere.

I don't know how many people will starve to death due to the famine caused by the war in the past few months! Chang Yu walked slowly with an umbrella like a boulder in his heart, and walked into a remote alley without stopping.

It seems to be a dead end, Chang Yu frowned and turned around, and saw a man in black wearing a hat and seeing his face at the mouth of the alley slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand: "I know that you are leading us out, and I also know that we will die in life, but we have to take a risk."

Chang Yu smiled.
