Chapter 326 Questioning the crime on the spot

I don't know the true face of Yan Mansion, only because I live in this mansion.

Yan Mansion is very large, occupying a wide area, occupying the width of one, two, three, four streets, much wider than the average campus. The first thing you see when you enter Yan Mansion is a large garden, which is divided into The three roads in the east, middle and west lead to different areas of Yan Mansion. In the garden, there is an obviously artificially dug lake. It can really be regarded as a lake. The size of tens of acres of land, hundreds of rare flowers and plants are planted in the garden. It's only early spring, and the flowers are already in full bloom.

The dark horse Shamate was taken into the racecourse by the servants of the Hou Mansion long ago, and Zhu Pingan was given a bamboo card with a lifelike horse engraved on it, and a brand name, and he could lead the horse with this card when he left. Zhu Pingan followed another servant, crossing the long Funei West Road, to the courtyard where the banquet was held in the Yan Mansion. On the way to and from, the well-dressed and gorgeous maids carried vegetables, fruits, wine and delicacies, and passed by in a neat line.

The servant who was leading the way in front, looked at the slim backs of the maids passing by, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

There was a noise and the sound of silk and bamboo not far away, and the dancers could be seen in the distance, and the place for the banquet was coming.

With great interest, Zhu Pingan straightened his sleeves and walked slowly into the banquet place step by step.

Several incense burners were set up at the banquet site to burn spices, and the fragrance was wafting. The orderly arrangement of potted plants and flower arrangements enhanced the banquet a lot. Dancers in red dresses waved colorful sleeves and danced with bare feet. There were singers and Musicians are playing on the sidelines.

Zhu Ping'an's most eye-catching thing is the banquet of Qushui Liushang. In the middle of the banquet is a white jade rockery. Surrounding the rockery are piled up like mountains. In the middle of the mountains are carved white jade pipes. The liquid is rippling in the wine tank, and the fine wine flows slowly along the white jade pipe like a clear stream. The guests sit around the piled mountains, and the fine wine can flow into the wine glass.

If you don't use a wine glass to receive the wine, the wine will flow into the card slot and disappear. It should be recyclable.

Bear's paw and camel's hoof, scales and shreds. Run on the mountain, swim in the water. The wavy ones on the prairie, the ones that fly in the sky and the ones that grow on the ground, are all made into delicacies and placed on the banquet like flowing water.

At this time, the banquet had already started, and the atmosphere was very lively. Everyone gathered around a short and thick fat man to be the first to flatter. The most distinctive feature is that one eye is blind, but the other eye is full of cunning and wit, as if you can see into your heart with just one glance.

This one-eyed fat man is very energetic, so vigorous that he feels arrogant and domineering.

Short, fat, one-eyed, domineering, these factors add up, and Zhu Ping'an can come to the conclusion that this man is the only son of Mr. Yan Ge. Yan Shifan, who is now the right servant of the Ministry of Industry.

It should be said that God is fair. Don't look at God blinding Yan Shifan's soil and fat circle, but giving this person a super IQ is not only that. This person is also good at psychology. It is recorded in history that "he is cunning and witty, and he has extensive knowledge and memorization. He is familiar with laws and regulations, and understands economic affairs. He is also full of energy and can handle complicated dramas. He is especially good at figuring out the likes and dislikes of the emperor. "

Zhu Ping'an was led in by a servant of the Yan Mansion. They informed the inside, and then everyone saw Zhu Pingan standing at the door.

Why did such a young man come here? I have never seen him before. People who are used to hanging out in the Yan Mansion are full of curiosity about Zhu Pingan standing at the door.

"Come, who is it?" A person sitting not far from Yan Shifan put down the wine glass in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked Zhu Pingan in a dark voice.

This person is Luo Longwen, whose characters contain zhang. This person was originally an ink merchant, who made his fortune with ink. He mastered the unique skill of making ink when he was young, and made good use of tung oil fumes to make top-grade ink. The ink he made is the king of ink, the best of the best. , A piece of ink is worth tens of thousands of dollars, and the supply exceeds demand. When he has money, he wants to find some political capital, so after making a fortune, he joins Yan Shifan's family, is Yan Shifan's aide, and under Yan Shifan's support, he is now a member of Zhongshushe.

It can be said that this person is one of Yan Shifan's capable henchmen.

"Xiahe Zhu Ping'an, I am honored to receive an invitation from Mr. Yan, and I am here to pay a visit."

Zhu Ping'an was neither humble nor overbearing, and bowed his hands to everyone. He was not at all intimidated by Luo Wenlong's questioning tone, and replied leisurely.

"Zhu Ping'an? Hehe. Who is Zhu Ping'an?" Luo Longwen couldn't help laughing twice, squinting his eyes and looking at Zhu Ping'an with disdain.

Hearing this, many people around laughed and looked at Zhu Ping'an with contempt.

In fact, when Zhu Pingan mentioned his name, how many people would not know who Zhu Pingan was? It's not clear that young master Ouyang in Yan's mansion missed Huiyuan. But it's just standing in line.

In addition to these smiling people, there were other curious eyes at the banquet.

Amid the laughter and scrutiny of the crowd, Zhu Pingan was calm and composed, neither humble nor overbearing, and calmly accepted the baptism of everyone's eyes.

At this moment, Yan Shifan, who was flattered by everyone, stood up with a smile, and his single eye fell on Zhu Pingan. He stretched out a finger to Zhu Pingan, and introduced to everyone with his fat face shaking:

"Hanzhang, everyone, this person is not ordinary. You don't know him today, but he will be famous all over the world in the future, and it will be deeply engraved in your minds. This Zhu Pingan will be the subject of this Enke test. Zhu Zihou, a well-known child prodigy in Xiahe Village, Anqing Prefecture, passed the provincial examination at the age of 13 and won the Juren, which was slightly ahead of Yang Ting and Yang Ge at the age of 12; however, Yang Ge went to Beijing the next year after passing the examination The exam, how, the name fell to Sun Shan, and it was not until six years later, when he re-entered the exam room at the age of 19, that he passed the exam."

Speaking of this, Yan Shifan glanced at the crowd with his shining single eye, smiled slightly with deep meaning, and asked, "Do you know what year this person is?"

When everyone heard the words, they looked at Zhu Pingan and shook their heads, and said that they didn't know.

"This person is only 14 this year, and he is already Huiyuan at the age of 14! Old Yang Ge is no different." Yan Shifan waved his hand, pointing at Zhu Ping'an and said.

After listening to Yan Shifan's words, there were surprises at the banquet one after another. Many of them did not expect Zhu Ping'an to be so young. The 14-year-old Huiyuan is much stronger than Yang Ge. After all, Yang Ge only passed the test at the age of nineteen. This person has already passed the test at the age of 14, and he is still Huiyuan!

"14-year-old Huiyuan, no wonder, no wonder."

After everyone was surprised, a dark voice sounded at the banquet, it was Luo Longwen who spoke at the beginning.

"No wonder how?" someone asked.

"It's no wonder I have to put Brother Donglou in my eyes, no wonder I dare not put Yan's house in my eyes, Brother Donglou thinks so highly of you, I send you an invitation card, invite you to a banquet, Duke Huiyuan, 14-year-old Huiyuan It's amazing. The banquet has been held for a long time. After drinking for three rounds, it's too late. How dare you ask Huiyuan Gong to know the etiquette? People don't have faith, so I don't know what to do. If the dignified Huiyuan is not punctual, you are not afraid Is it Yixiao Yu Dafang's family? Or is it that everyone like me didn't take it seriously?"

Luo Longwen smiled faintly, looked at Zhu Pingan suspiciously, and asked loudly.

Luo Longwen's language was quite provocative and skillful. As soon as he finished speaking, most of the people looked at Zhu Ping'an with reproachful eyes. Not being punctual is not a good habit. Not being punctual is not keeping promises. How can a person who doesn't speak good faith be any better?
