Chapter 82

The soldier saw that his expression changed, but when it was difficult for him to accept the fact for a while, he comforted him: "The late emperor never liked Buddhism, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, the restrictions on Buddhism and Dao were relaxed, and Buddhism was re-established as the state religion. You can also walk in Chang’an City without fear, so you don’t have to worry about being interrogated.”

Shen Qiao smiled bitterly, is this a great fortune among misfortunes?

"Then why does Your Majesty refuse to keep his father's funeral?"

As soon as these words came out, the two soldiers were all nervous, looking around, seeing that no one was paying attention, just whispered: "Where is this matter that I can know about, the Taoist priest should not ask more!"

Shen Qiao asked again: "Then do you know what happened to Qi Wang Yuwenxian?"

Both of them shook their heads and said they didn't know.

They are only the bottom pawns, and the whereabouts of King Qi are indeed beyond their ability to intervene.

That being the case, Shen Qiao had nothing to ask. He thanked the two of them, drank tea, and saw that they were preparing to leave with the prisoner's family. Go in the direction of Chang'an.

As soon as he entered Chang'an City, Shen Qiao didn't feel much change. It was still very lively and bustling. , On the streets, especially the street leading to the imperial city, there seem to be more officials than before, either patrolling or escorting prisoners. There are men and women, old and young, and Shen Qiao is watching outside the city. As they arrived, they looked sad and seemed a little out of place in this lively scene.

Shen Qiao stopped and watched for a while, the crying of the children in the team made him unbearable, but he knew very well that no matter whether the crime of the family was wronged or not, even if he saved them, there was no way to settle them. They suffer more.

What's more, in the future, I'm afraid there will be more people who will fall into the same situation as them.

It is easy to save a family, but difficult to save the world.

He sighed secretly, looked away, and turned away.

Shen Qiao first went to Yan Wushi's former young master's mansion in the capital. He didn't come close, but only glanced at a distance. Not surprisingly, he saw that the mansion had now been sealed up, the door was locked, the court was left out in the cold, and the capital was expensive. Only horses and carts rarely pass by around here, and others seem to be worried that they are related to it, and they all avoid it.

There are a few people who carry the burden and sell vegetables, and some people come to buy them. Just by looking at their expressions carefully, they can see something strange. Unlike ordinary hawkers, they seem to be waiting there on purpose.

If it had changed from the past, Shen Qiao would have stepped forward to ask without even thinking about it, but now he gets along with Yan Wushi more, unconsciously and subtly, and he knows how to pay more attention to the details of everything. Did not come forward.

Bianyanmei also has two mansions in the capital, one is an official residence, given by Yu Wenyong, like the young master's mansion, and the other is a private residence, which is known to fewer people, but it is not a secret. When Shen Qiao was in Chang'an, Bianbianmei misunderstood his relationship with Yan Wushi, and even took him to recognize the place, and warmly invited Shen Qiao to be a guest, making Shen Qiao a little dumbfounded.

The official residence, like the young master's mansion, was sealed up, and there were people in front of the door disguised as secret surveillance.

The private house was still there, and although the door was closed, it was not locked.

Bianyanmei's private house is located deep in an alley in the west of the city. Most of the people living nearby are from scholarly families with small wealth. It is not only less busy with high-level officials and officials, but also not as noisy as the merchant market, but it is an excellent hidden place. place.

Shen Qiao didn't push the door, but turned over the wall.

With his martial arts, he even climbed over the wall, quietly and gracefully.

The house was very clean, the grass and trees were just like it, and it was spotless, but it was deserted, and there was no half-person figure.

Shen Qiao walked around inside, pushing the door in every room, but found nothing.

Where has Bianbianmei gone?

In recent years, the forces of the Huanyue Sect have been combined with the Northern Zhou regime, and Yu Wenyong has promised to hold a high position and lean on it as his left and right arms. Chang'an is equivalent to the base camp of the Huanyue Sect, but the Huanyue Sect is quite special among the three demon sects. Yan Wu The teacher only accepted two disciples, Bian Mei and Yu Shengyan, and the rest of the forces were scattered all over the place, which seemed to be a bit "thin people".

There was a small noise from the east wing, very slight, it sounded like the desk was accidentally knocked and moved.

This happened to be the last room Shen Qiao had not yet entered.

The people in the room seemed to have suppressed their breathing to the lightest, but for Shen Qiao, it was still clearly audible.

He opened the door and stepped on the side of the screen step by step.

The depressed breathing sound was getting heavier. Shen Yan stopped in front of the bed and bent over to reach out.

A exclaimed from the bottom of the bed, and before Shen Yan touched the other party, a small figure had come out of the inside and ran towards the door.

But before running a few steps, people paused, and even dumb acupoints were clicked. The sound could not be made at all, and they could only be frightened.

"Don't be afraid." She heard someone say that.

"I came to find a friend. Unexpectedly, the whole friend of my friends moved away, so I came in to see, who are you?" The handsome Taoist gentleman gently walked in front of her.

Such a person is not like a bad guy, and she slowly calms down.

Shen Yan unbuttoned her dumb hole.

The little girl is not very old, but the dust is full of dust, but she can't hide the original Bai Nen. From the perspective of clothes, she should be a family of wealthy and grew up from a young age.

"Who are you?" The girl asked with a boldness.

Shen Yan laughed: "My name is Shen Yan, a Taoist priest in Xuandu Mountain."

"Shen Yan?" The girl seemed to be thinking, "Is it Shen Shen in" Book of Rites "?

"Yes, it is those two words." Shen Yan was amazed by the profound knowledge that the other party had a young age, "Which one of you are, why is you hiding here?"

After all, the girl is not very old, and she can't stretch too long, and she can't stretch it too long. She heard the expression of loose breath: "I heard that I mentioned Shen Daochang, shouldn't Shen Daochang be ordered to come to me?"

Shen Yan was also a little confused by her: "Who are you and who do you or of?"

Girl: "I am the Yan family, my mother is Princess Xiangyang."

Shen Yan understood: "What you said, should be the emperor?"

Dou Yan nodded: "Someone monitored in my family. Those people wanted me to enter the palace to meet your Majesty. I could only run out secretly. I originally planned to come here to find a border uncle. Looking for me, I dare not go out ... "

Shen Yan frowned: "What is going on? Your mother is the eldest sister of the ancestors, who dares to embarrass you?"

As soon as he said, he thought, who dares to embarrass them except the emperor, isn't it the emperor?

Dou Yan bit his lower lip, and seemed to be unspeakable, and Shen Yan did not continue to ask. In contrast, the warm voice said: "The people in this house are afraid of going early, you stay here and wait. Your mother is there, His Majesty will never dare to do what ... "

"No! Can't go home!" Dou Yan shook his head again and again. "If I go home, my Majesty must call me to enter the palace.

Seeing that she said so seriously, she had no way for a while. She was about to ask her plans. There was a hustle and bustle of the outside, and the footsteps followed. Essence

"It's not a matter of tightness here. People who want to come have long gone. You don't have to go in again. I just go and see it."

The voice of speaking was a little familiar, and Shen Yan thought about it for a while, thinking of a person's name.

Yang Jian.

Dou Yan was so scared to hide behind him, pulling his sleeves: "Go, go!"

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't move, she paused and ran back to the original room directly.

As soon as Dou Yan ran in, Yang Jian had strode over and touched the front with Shen Yan, who was standing in the yard.

Shen Yan's face was calm, but Yang Jian was shocked.

"You..." He just opened his mouth to say a word, then closed his mouth again, glanced outside, and made another gesture to Shen Qiao, meaning to tell Shen Qiao not to speak.

Shen Qiao understood his suggestion, nodded, and waited for him to speak first.

Yang Jian frowned, and his face was unpredictable, as if hesitating what to say.

On the contrary, Dou Yan in the room didn't wait for the movement, so he couldn't help coming out quietly, clinging to the door and peeking out, Yang Jian saw her self-concealed movements, the latter looked surprised, took a few steps forward, Dou Yan. Yan almost ran back in fright.

"Does Daoist Master Shen know where Doctor Bian is?" He tried his best to keep his voice down, but spoke quickly.

Shen Qiao naturally shook his head.

"I was entrusted by others, but now I can't fulfill it. I can only ask Daoist Shen to help me and send the little lady of the Dou family to the Su family for temporary shelter!"

Su family? Shen Qiao was puzzled.

Yang Jian: "It's the government of Meiyang County!"

At this moment, a loud inquiries came from outside: "I wonder if Duke Sui Guo has found anything, but do you need help from a villain?"

Yang Jian hurriedly responded with a loud voice: "No need, I'll go out now!"

He couldn't say any more, just bowed his hands to Shen Qiao, then turned around and left in a hurry.

The voices came faintly from the door, and after a while, people disappeared one after another, the door was closed again, and it was locked.

Dou Yan stuck his head out of the room with a worried look on his face.

Shen Qiao told her: "Everyone is gone, Duke Suiguo asked me to send you to the public residence of Meiyang County for temporary shelter. What do you think?"

Dou Yan thought for a while: "Alright, the county magistrate of Meiyang and my father have always been on good terms with me. It should have been entrusted to him by my father, so I would have to work with Daoist Shen. Will this matter cause you trouble?"

Shen Qiao smiled and said, "No, it's just a little effort."

He took Dou Yan over the wall with ease, followed the direction Dou Yan pointed, and went around the path to Su's house. When he came to the back door, Shen Qiao's expression was full of awe.

Shen Qiao couldn't help rubbing her bun head, and then climbed over the wall from the back door of Su's house and entered.

Dou Yan whispered to him: "After this courtyard, the second room in front is the study room. I have been here with my father, and the public in Meiyang County will be there every day..."

With Shen Qiao's skill, sneaking into Su's house is a bit overkill. Su Wei was reading a book in the study, and he was suddenly pushed in from the outside by one big and one small, and he almost screamed loudly.

Fortunately, he still recognized Shen Qiao and Dou Yan, and held back the words he wanted to say, and changed his tone to a relatively normal tone: "Shen Daochang? Dou Erniang?"

Dou Yan got down from Shen Qiao's arms, and said crisply, "Don't be surprised, Shibo, Ayan has no ill intentions here!"

Su Wei hurriedly got up and opened the door to visit. Seeing that no one was looking outside, he closed the door again and turned around and said, "Why are you here? Ayan, I heard that the Dou family is surrounded by people sent by His Majesty. find you."

Dou Yan said sadly: "Yes, it's all my fault for causing trouble for my parents. Your Majesty is afraid that my parents will hide me. Now I'm staring at the Dou family. I can't go back for the time being. I can only come here and ask Shibo for protection."

Shen Qiao said, "We met Duke Suiguo at the Bianfu, and he asked us to come to Duke Suxian."

Su Wei sighed: "Forget it, you all come with me."

He didn't ask the reason in detail. He wanted to know a thing or two, but Shen Qiao had entered Chang'an and felt that everything was unexpected, and now he can only take a step by step.

Solvay got up and pushed the bookshelf away, revealing the hidden secret door behind, and led them through the secret door into the secret passage, and finally came to another room.

The house is not without the sun, there are shades of greenery outside the windows, and the sun is faintly coming in. If it is placed in summer, it must be a good place to escape from the heat, but it also hides its position, making it difficult for others to find it. .

There was a person standing by the window, with his back to them, his hands behind his back, when he saw Su Wei pushing the door open, he turned around and saw Dou Yan, and couldn't help being surprised: "Second Mother?"

Dou Yan behaved quite mature along the way, but when he saw this person, he couldn't help crying out, "Uncle Fifth! Uncle Xiandi was killed by his cousin!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
