The salted fish script was played by me [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 21

As if his throat was blocked by something, the voice he made was not only dry, but even disappeared altogether. Xiao Hongyin couldn't hear clearly for a while, and lowered his head to get closer.

"Where did you go just now?" He Yanzhi leaned close to his ear and repeated, Xiao Hongyin replied: "I saw you were cold, so I wanted to find some food."

The fish soup gradually simmered in a small fire, but it was a pity that He Yanzhi could not smell anything while it was burning.

After the fish soup was completely stewed, Xiao Hongyin went to the carriage to fetch the only bowl and spoon, and scooped a full bowl for He Yanzhi.

"Eat something warm."

Xiao Hongyin helped He Yanzhi sit up and let him lean on him.

Because he went to catch fish in the river in the heavy rain, Xiao Hongyin's body was already drenched, his outer robe was taken off and He Yanzhi's was left to dry by the fire, and only a soaked middle coat was attached to his body.

The body temperature was transmitted to He Yanzhi's cold body through the thin two-layer clothes. He Yanzhi felt very comfortable and subconsciously wanted more.

Holding the hot fish soup in both hands, he recalled his dead consciousness, and the pain of the old wound cracking hit instantly, He Yanzhi almost turned the bowl over, Xiao Hongyin took the bowl when he saw it, scooped a spoonful and handed it to his mouth.

"...I'll do it myself." He Yanzhi was not used to this way, so he whispered what was in his heart: "It always feels a little strange."

He thought Xiao Hongyin couldn't hear, but the world was not as he wanted.

"What's so strange?" Xiao Hongyin suddenly said, and He Yanzhi didn't know how to answer him for a moment.

Only Xiao Hongyin said: "Two years ago you taught me how to swim, and I was pushed into the water by you because I didn't dare to go into the water. Because of this, I was infected with the cold and became weak. Didn't you feed me like this back then?"

When He Yanzhi heard this, he thought to himself that this kid is holding a grudge.

He originally wanted Xiao Hongyin to learn water as soon as possible in case of emergencies, but he used various reasons to delay the whole summer, so He Yanzhi had to push him into the icy river in winter. Several months of wind and cold.

So Xiao Hongyin spent the rest of the winter in bed, and He Yanzhi also lost a lot of weight to take care of him.

"Open your mouth."

At that time, He Yanzhi was feeding Xiao Hongyin with a cold face, but now it was reversed, Xiao Hongyin felt sullen for some reason, and fed He Yanzhi mouthful.

When the slightly hot fish soup entered his stomach, He Yanzhi felt his whole body warmed up, his head was no longer as dizzy as before, and his body began to sweat.

Halfway through drinking, He Yanzhi felt that it was too hot, so he lifted the blanket on his body, so that the hole on the other side was exposed like this, which caught his attention.

"Why is there a big hole in this blanket?"

Xiao Hongyin replied: "I don't know, it's just like that."

He Yanzhi joked: "The majestic servant of the punishment department is so poor. It seems that being a high official may not be very good. When will you go back and tell Dayang, let him find another way out as soon as possible."

Xiao Hongyin chuckled, and kept feeding him soup.He Yanzhi was inevitably full, and was about to say that he couldn't eat anymore, when Xiao Hongyin spoke abruptly.

"The capital city is not a good place to go."

He Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and said, "I know."

"We could have fought our way out, those hidden guards are no match for us at all."

"I know this too."

"Then why did you..."

Xiao Hongyin swallowed half of his words, and He Yanzhi understood what he wanted to ask.

He Yanzhi straightened his body and met his four eyes, Xiao Hongyin's face was reflected in his dark pupils.

"Because you want revenge."

"You want to find a chance to carry me to Beijing after we arrive in Dongzhou."

"You want to bring down those hypocrites who are fighting for power by yourself, kill all the blood-sucking insects in the court, and overthrow the imperial power that your Xiao family has always supported."

He Yanzhi understood him, a villain is a villain, how could he give up his deepest obsession just for the sake of a momentary peace and tranquility?

From the moment he proposed to go to Dongzhou, he saw it through Xiao Hongyin's eyes.

"Yan..."

Xiao Hongyin was startled by He Yanzhi's words. The feeling of being completely seen through at this moment made him feel unprecedented fear.

"You still want to sneak into the capital, you might as well find a proper name."

He Yanzhi was not as angry as he imagined, on the contrary, he was extremely calm: "This time you came to Beijing to prevent others from prying eyes, so you followed me on the grounds of being an apprentice under my name."

He Yanzhi still hated the life-and-death drama in the court, but he still couldn't worry about Xiao Hongyin, and only asked him to be smarter, to get revenge and seize power as soon as possible, and He Yanzhi was also happy to sit back and enjoy the rewards.

After listening to what he said, Xiao Hongyin was unable to speak for a long time, and when He Yanzhi lay down and was about to rest, Xiao Hongyin helped him cover the blanket, and then gave a soft "en" to him.

The sound of the rain outside gradually subsided, and the snores of the people next door came one after another.Xiao Hongyin stared at He Yanzhi's sleeping face all night. In the morning, the dim light penetrated into the cave and shone on his hand. Finally, he put back the unsheathed dagger.

After the rain was over, the group continued to move forward. Xiao Hongyin helped He Yanzhi into the carriage, and the sound of Zhao Mengjie's sneeze was heard from afar.

The two searched for the sound, and saw Zhao Mengjie shiveringly climbed into the carriage wrapped in a thin cloak, followed by Master Zhao carrying a bowl of black herbal soup.

"The vicinity is full of weeds, and there are only a few perilla plants that can cure the wind and cold. They don't like fish, so I didn't cook them for you." Xiao Hongyin explained.

He Yanzhi didn't mean to blame him, but just thought of one thing: "Who do you think Zhao Mengjie belongs to?"

Xiao Hongyin said: "I don't know."

He Yanzhi said: "I don't know, but there are only two princes who are in the limelight in the court. One is He Yu, the king of Xizhou, and the other is the crown prince. The king of Xizhou has always shown the mountains and does not reveal himself, and he likes to do it himself. Waiting for the behavior of sending cronies to win people over, should be the prince without a doubt."

Xiao Hongyin nodded: "What do you think?"

The forest wind in the early morning was a bit chilly, He Yanzhi asked Xiao Hongyin to get in the car first, and after he blocked the doors and windows, he said: "Looking at this, the prince's life may not be easy."

He Yanzhi was clear about He Yu's methods, if the prince's arrogance was enough to deal with, Zhao Mengjie would not have traveled all the way to Xizhou to look for him.

But obviously the crown prince didn't know that He Yanzhi was actually He Yu's man.

According to the original book, the crown prince is already dead at this step, but it's really hard to say if it's He Yanzhi today.

"The court situation is still unclear, let's take a look."

Xiao Hongyin was still thinking about whether or not to get involved with the prince, but He Yanzhi had already made a joke, laying down on his back, mocking himself: "I thought I had a lot of officials, but it turned out to be a thankless bastard. Errand, this business has lost a lot."

Xiao Hongyin glanced at him, and lay down beside him, saying: "It is inevitable to make a profit and loss in business, have you never lost money?"

He Yanzhi closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and said: "Except for you, it seems that I have never lost money."

Xiao Hongyin refused to accept it, and settled accounts with him: "Since I entered school, I have done some ghostwriting business, and I have earned money, so how can I count it as a loss? Let's say that after you lost your job, you went out to eat and sleep all day long. After that, I didn't do all the big and small things in the family, isn't this considered earning?"

He Yanzhi's left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he didn't listen to his ramblings: "Okay, okay, I earned you, thank you 'Yin Da Jinshi'."

Xiao Hongyin smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, I won't do that loss-making business. How does Yanzhi plan to compensate me?"

He Yanzhi turned his back to him and took the pillow: "I'm lazy, do you want love or not?"

"Okay, it's settled." Xiao Hongyin also turned sideways, his back reflected in the amber pupils.

He Yanzhi didn't care about "maybe", and his breathing became even after a while.

The sick person was drowsy, Xiao Hongyin watched him quietly, and gradually fell asleep in the bumpy carriage.

……

When they first arrived in the capital, after several months of hard work, everyone lost a lot of weight. When they were stopped by the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, they were almost mistaken for refugees fleeing from the city. After Zhao Mengjie showed his badge, the officers and soldiers took them away. into the city.

"There is an order from the Holy Spirit that no refugees should appear in the capital."

He Yanzhi glanced out of the carriage when he heard this, and asked, "Then who are these beggars on the street?"

Zhao Ji heard the words and looked at them, then turned around and said, "These are Master Shen's servants. After the master's house is raided, no one is willing to accept them, so they have to beg along the street."

"Master Shen?"

"Master Shen Haishen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was imprisoned by the nine clans a while ago for corruption."

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hongyin looked at each other, who nodded knowingly.

"But I heard that Mr. Shen is a clean and honest official with a clean sleeve, why is he charged with this crime?" He Yanzhi pretended to be puzzled, and Zhao Ji sighed: "It is impossible to tell right from wrong about official affairs, even if it is as expensive as the crown prince..."

Zhao Ji shut up in time, smiled at He Yanzhi and said, "Let's catch up quickly, we will be there after crossing this street."

The coachman flicked his whip, the carriage picked up speed, and drove the two of them through the market and stopped in front of Dali Temple.

"The novel food I just saw, remember to buy some later." He Yanzhi got out of the carriage, and the first sentence was to ask Xiao Hongyin to write down the snacks he wanted to buy.

Xiao Hongyin nodded and looked at the building in front of him: "Dali Temple, isn't it the Ministry of Punishment?"

"It makes no difference."

He Yanzhi looked around, and there were no trees.

"You two, please follow me."

Zhao Ji led them into Dali Temple.

The chief registrars in the courtyard came and went with their files in their hands, and seeing them coming in did not cause much reaction.

He Yanzhi just looked around, and accidentally bumped into a master book, and the files were scattered all over the place.

He apologized to the master secretary, and hurried to pick up the files, but some of them rolled down to the edge of the puddle and got soaked. He Yanzhi didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about it, young master."

The master secretary picked up the file and didn't sort it out, just piled up all the files in his hand and left.He Yanzhi glanced at the dossier unintentionally, the wet part showed the ink on the back, and he saw the word "Shen Hai".

Zhao Ji led them into a room full of files, and said that after this was the study of the two of them.

"Young master, as the head of the Dali Temple, was seriously ill and asked for leave for recuperation a few months ago. Now that he has recovered from his illness, he will be on duty soon." After explaining some matters to He Yanzhi, Zhao Ji took out a waist card: "He Temple Exactly, this is your waist badge, the lower officials have kept it for many days, and now it is returned to the original owner."

He Yanzhi took the badge, and after Zhao Ji left, Xiao Hongyin wanted to ask him what to eat first, but He Yanzhi dragged him out through the window.

"Follow up to that person."

He Yanzhi and Xiao Hong quietly avoided the others, and searched in the direction where the master had just left. After a while, they smelled a burning smell.
