03. The wind passes without trace

After the rebirth of the

princess, she was engaged in her career

again. Sheng Yunlin didn’t remember how she fell asleep again. Maybe Jaffe patted her on the back, which made her feel sleepy again and finally fell into a deep sleep. In the

dream, when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I was lively and active, and I took Chen Yu to fool around all day long. Occasionally in the palace met a court dress of Jaffe, the other side are respectful to salute, but a little superfluous expression is not willing to give.

She was like a spectator in the dream. Everything in the past unfolded slowly like a picture scroll, and she could not take her eyes off it before she gradually recalled those complicated old dreams.

The next morning, Sheng Yunlin got up late.

When the princess grew up, she would wake up before dawn every day, dress up and go to court. Now that I am a different person, I can sleep until the end of the day.

Jaffe is not in the house. Instead, the shopkeeper sent two women who had dressed her up yesterday, saying that they had been ordered by Mr. Xie to buy some clothes, Rouge, jewelry and so on for the girl’s daily use.

When Sheng Yunlin saw that the two of them were about to start again, he remembered the pain of the hair cut yesterday, and hurriedly asked the two women to go back, saying that she could come by herself.

She picked through the pile of hairpins and found that there was nothing good, presumably the women had withheld a lot of money from Jaffe. She smiled silently and finally chose a white jade hairpin from it and tied up a simple bun.

Although the material of the hairpin is not very good, it is simple but elegant.

Sheng Yunlin walked to the front of the bronze mirror and wanted to see how his hair was tied up at will, but suddenly he was stunned.

Yesterday she didn’t notice the face in the mirror. Unexpectedly, he was five or six points similar to himself when he was young.

She stood silently in front of the mirror, staring at herself, and on the face of the delicate and delicate girl, there was a calm far from belonging to this age. She looked along the deep pupil reflected in the mirror, and there was a very secret sadness.

Yes. Even if the face is so similar to that of fourteen years old, she is no longer herself at that time. With

a squeak, the door behind him was opened, and Jaffe’s figure was reflected in the bronze mirror.

“Lord Hsieh is back.” Sheng Yunlin did not look back.

Jaffe gave a “hum” and looked at Sheng Yunlin, who was sitting motionless in front of the bronze mirror. After a moment’s silence, he came forward again.

He found an eyebrow pencil from the pile of things that the women had left on the table.

Sheng Yun-lin chuckled. “Is Lord Hsieh going to thrush me?”

Jaffe did not speak, but gently, under the corner of her eye, a lachrymal mole.

Like the finishing touch, the girl in the mirror was actually seven or eight points similar to Princess Changyi of that year.

“You remember the lachrymal mole in my position..” Sheng Yun-lin was stupefied for quite a while, but finally he tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, “Forget it, wipe it off.”. It is not good to be recognized.

She started to wipe off the lachrymal mole created by the eyebrow pencil and then asked, “Did you go out to inquire about Feng Wuheng?”

“Mmm.”

“He must not have gone far.” “The silver must still be in Linan City,” Sheng Yun-lin judged.

“How do you know?” Asked Jaffe. A gangster in a

foreign country, where did he get the manpower to help him transfer so much official money overnight? That’s solid silver, not a silver ticket. Let’s take a look at Lin’an and see if there’s any big thing that needs money recently. Maybe if you handle it from somewhere, the stolen money will be laundered.

“Recently Lin An Academy is going to build a new Bible Pavilion.” “Because the number one scholar in the last imperial examination came from Lin’an Academy, Su Wei allocated a lot of money,” said Jaffe.

“You’ve got all the information.” Sheng Yun-lin suddenly remembered and chuckled, “Yes, you were a champion in both civil and military affairs.”. So powerful, how did you do it?

“It’s just hard work and hard training.” Jaffe answered very frankly.

“In this world, there are many people who study hard and practice hard. If they only need to study hard and practice hard, wouldn’t everyone be able to become a champion?”. Sheng Yun-lin stood up and said, “Come on, let’s go to Lin’an Academy.”

Jaffe did not move.

“What are you going to do?” He looked at Sheng Yunlin with a solemn expression.

Sheng Yunlin looked at him and suddenly felt that Jaffe’s black pupil was as deep as a pool of water.

For an instant, she remembered the hug she had received last night, the clapping of her hands on her back, and the sound of “Your Highness.”.

I don’t know if it’s a hallucination.

Sheng Yun-lin tugged at the corners of his mouth and raised his lower jaw. His lines were extremely beautiful. “Didn’t Lord Hsieh buy me?”? Of course I follow your excellency.

Lin’an Academy is located on Tianmu Mountain. As soon as Sheng Yunlin and Jaffe walked in, they heard the sound of eulogies. Curling smoke rises from the mountains, and the fairyland has its own atmosphere of human fireworks.

Because Su Wei had said hello in advance, the head of the Lin’an Academy greeted Jaffe at the door, accompanied by an “acquaintance” of Sheng Yunlin.

It was yesterday that I met Pei Zian in the night market.

Pei Tzu-an’s elegant face had a polite smile on it: “I didn’t expect to meet Miss Sheng again in the Academy.” “Why, do you know each other?” Asked

the mountain chief curiously. “Yesterday,”

said Pei Tzu-an, “the students took Bo Wen to the night market to write couplets. The neighbors were so kind that Bo Wen and I couldn’t help them. Fortunately, this girl helped us. Her handwriting is quite like that of Chao Meng-fu.

“Far inferior to my son.” Sheng Yunlin smiled.

“I didn’t expect that all the maids in the Hsieh family would be good at writing.” The mountain chief immediately began to pick up Jaffe. “The Hsieh family is really a scholarly family!”.

“I’m flattered.” Jaffe nodded slightly.

Shan Chang was busy with his business, so he left first and asked Pei Zian to take them to the accounting room to check the account books. To

check the account books is to look at the money in and out of the whole Lin’an Academy. Because of the construction, the Academy has spent more money this year than in the past three years combined, which gives the handlers room to operate. It was probably the first time that

the bookkeeper had seen such a big official as Jaffe-although he was no longer in a high position, it did not prevent the bookkeeper from being so frightened that his legs were weak and he could not speak very well with Jaffe. But Pei Zian, not frightened and fearless, spoke calmly and contentedly.

Sheng Yun-lin helped Jaffe look through the books. He had been looking at them for months, but there was nothing unusual about them. He whispered in his ear and asked, “We’re here in such a big way. Are we scaring the snake?”

Because her voice was small and hidden, she was so close to Jaffe that as soon as Jaffe turned his head, she and Jaffe looked at each other and fell into the dark eyes of the deep pool.

“No.” “There’s not enough time,” Jaffe whispered back. Linan Satrap came to request

last night, today they came to Linan Academy, even if the big thief wind without trace, also don’t have the ability to do a good job in the account book one night.

Sheng Yunlin gave a “hum” and avoided the pair of pupils.

She only knew that Jaffe was very good-looking before, and that all the men and women in the capital, old and young, praised him for his appearance of Pan An, but did not analyze where he looked good. At this moment, so close to the relative, she suddenly realized that the original Jaffe is the most deadly eyes. It’s not that no one has given her a boy toy

before. One of the most beautiful one, has a pair of peach blossom eyes, smiling very attractive. She did not like that very much, and was soon sent out of the palace.

On the contrary, Jaffe’s eyes were as calm as a deep pool, and the ancient well had no waves. At a glance, he felt as if he had sunk into it. Why didn’t

she find out before?

While Xie Fei was still checking the account books, Pei Zi’an had nothing to do. He approached Sheng Yunlin, who was in a daze, and asked, “Miss Sheng, you’re not actually Lord Xie’s servant girl, are you?”

“Why do you think so?” Sheng Yunlin came to his senses and did not answer directly, but was quite curious.

“Even the servant girls of the Hsieh family are not likely to be able to write such good and powerful characters.” Pei Tzu-an said with a smile, “What’s more, the girl’s manners are not bad, and her speech is also extraordinary. She looks more like a young lady from a big family.”

Sheng Yun-lin laughed and began to talk nonsense again. “I was really a young lady from a big family, but unfortunately my family was in decline and I was abducted and sold.”. Thanks to Lord Hsieh’s rescue, she is indeed the servant girl of the Hsieh family.

Although it is made up now, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

“Rescue?” Pei Zian was puzzled.

“Oh, that is to say, he bought me from the man’s tooth.” Sheng Yunlin spread out his hands.

But Pei Tzu-an said with a straight face, “In the future, if Pei is in the imperial examination high school, can he go to the Hsieh Mansion to redeem Miss Sheng?”

“Huh?” Sheng Yunlin was stunned.

“To tell you the truth, yesterday Pei felt like old friends at first sight. I thought it was just a chance encounter, but I didn’t expect to see the girl again today. I think it’s a rare fate.” Pei Tzu-an said, Pei’s family still has a hundred acres of fertile land, so they have no worries about food and clothing. I suppose if I had the honor and fame, I could barely be worthy of a girl? “Am I a servant girl?” Asked

Sheng Yunlin.

Pei Tzu-an smiled. “The way you looked at the books just now, you didn’t look like an ordinary servant girl.”. I don’t know what you’ve been through in the past, but you must have been the apple of your parents’ eye, right?

Sheng Yunlin thought it was interesting. No one has spoken to her like that in years.

It was Jaffe who noticed the conversation between the two men, glanced at this side, passed Sheng Yunlin, and swept directly to Pei Zian.

Pei Tzu-an immediately said, “Pei was just chatting with Miss Sheng.”

Jaffe did not answer him, but said, “After reading here, let’s go to the storehouse.” The silver in the

warehouse was stored in boxes half a man’s height, and when the lid of the box was lifted, the official silver was neatly stacked inside. There are ten layers in this

box. One layer has one hundred ingots, and one ingot is ten taels. A total of 17 boxes, plus some odds and ends, are all recorded in the account books. Pei Zi’an Road.

That is to say, there are more than 170,000 taels of silver here.

Sheng Yunlin picked one up, looked at the mark on it, and said to Jaffe, “It’s an official silver.”

Official silver is marked and usually not circulated in the market.

Pei Tzu-an said, “This is the money that Lord Su, the prefect of Lin’an, allocated to the Academy.” In the accounts

I just read, I remember every sum very clearly. The Academy built a new Bible Pavilion, how much money the government allocated, how much money the Academy paid out of its own pocket, how much money it spent on construction, and how much money was left.

There is no mistake. After

a visit, it was almost dark. At this time down the mountain, I do not know when to return to the inn. But the mountain chief had already prepared a guest room for them and warmly invited them to stay at the Academy.

Two people do not have an opinion, but at dinner, Sheng Yunlin is quite absent-minded-nothing has been found today, is it really all right? When arriving at the guest room

after dinner, Sheng Yunlin found that there was only one room again.

And tonight, unlike yesterday, there is a screen separating the two beds. In

this guest room. It’s really just a bed.

Sheng Yunlin suddenly understood what the mountain chief had said to Jaffe at the banquet in the evening, such as “tea adds fragrance.” At that time, she was thinking about what had happened today, and did not pay attention to the crisscross of the banquet. This time, she finally realized that the mountain chief had regarded her as Jaffe’s concubine.

But Xie Fei clearly can explain ah? Why not say it?

This is not Jaffe’s style. He is such a clean man.

Sheng Yunlin was thinking about it, but he saw Jaffe close the door, light the lamp, and pull out a few pages from his sleeve. It’s

all cut out of the ledger.

“Look at that.” Jaffe said.

Sheng Yunlin took the pieces of paper and found that all the records on them were the tuition fees paid by the students of the Academy in this year. The names on it are densely packed and arranged by the number of strokes of the surname, which can easily locate a student.

Up here.. There is no name for Pei Tzu-an! Sheng Yun-lin quickly responded, “Is he a student here or not?!”

“I don’t believe that the most outstanding student of Lin’an Academy is a libertine.” Jaffe’s voice was cold.

“Ahahaha..” Sheng Yun-lin was a little embarrassed. “Did you hear that during the day?”

“He was very disrespectful to you.” Jaffe said.

“I am no longer the eldest princess.” Sheng Yunlin smiled helplessly.

But Jaffe shook his head. “Even if you are just an ordinary servant girl, he shouldn’t be so frivolous to a girl who is not out of the cabinet.”

Sheng Yunlin spread out his hands and said, “Oh, but I’m not a young girl who hasn’t left the cabinet.”? It’s not like I haven’t been married.

Jaffe’s expression suddenly changed.

Sheng Yunlin immediately realized that she seemed to have mentioned something she shouldn’t have mentioned, and she didn’t know why she suddenly looked back on the past.

The next second, she noticed that Jaffe’s right hand was clenched into a fist.

He is doing his best to restrain and endure.

Sheng Yunlin was suddenly at a loss, so that she took Jaffe’s hand and stretched his fingers bit by bit without thinking.

“It’s been a long time.” Sheng Yunlin said slowly, “He didn’t do anything to me. He was finished on the night of the wedding. I killed him myself.”. He was so drunk that he didn’t know I had a dagger. Fortunately, we both got a knife. He died and I survived. You know what happened next.

She calmly recounted her last marriage. That was her path to power. No one has dared to mention the

bloody wedding for many years.

“Does it hurt?” Jaffe asked suddenly.

“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Sheng Yun-lin sighed, “But of course it was very painful at that time. I almost thought I couldn’t get through it.”

“Go to bed early and don’t think about it.” “Have a good rest,” said Jaffe. “I’ll go out.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Go and see Pei Tzu-an for a while, or the wind without a trace.”

Once Sheng Yunlin could walk sideways in the whole Chen Dynasty, just because there were large and small dark guards hidden around her, and she herself had learned some self-defense skills.

Now Sheng Yunlin basically can only be described as having no strength to tie a chicken.

So Jaffe asked her to “have a good rest,” which is basically equivalent to “stay here obediently.” Sheng Yunlin was also very conscious not to make trouble for Jaffe. As soon

as Jaffe left, a dark shadow broke through the window and covered Sheng Yunlin’s mouth and nose with a veil stained with ecstasy. Then she didn’t know anything about what happened.

When she regained consciousness, she was so weak that she was hugged by a man in a black cloak and sat on the roof of the highest part of Lin’an Academy. Who else could the face under the

cloak be besides Pei Zian?

Just the whole body elegant bookishness is no longer there, obviously just changed clothes, how can this person also have a little more evil? This is the true appearance of the wind without trace.

Sheng Yunlin yawned.

“Miss Sheng, isn’t your heart a little too big?” Feng Wuheng smiled, “Are you being held hostage by me now?”

I know. But I’m fine. “Speaking of which, I’m curious. How did you end up at Lin’an Academy as Pei Tzu-an?”. There’s no harm in telling you

that. It was just the use of hypnosis, the skill of carving insects, which made the mountain chief and others think that I was a student of this Academy. The Lin’an Academy is so big that there is no need for everyone to be hypnotized.

“I see.” Sheng Yun-lin nodded. “Then why did you kidnap me?”? I’m a servant girl. It’s of no use.

Not necessarily. You see, isn’t the man coming? The wind has no trace.

Sheng Yunlin followed the wind’s traceless line of sight and looked down at the roof.

Jaffe was standing below, looking straight at them with his dark eyes.

He pointed a little, but with two or three efforts, he easily got up to the roof. Feng Wuheng immediately clapped his hands and said, Good flying skill! Worthy of being Xie Taifu, really both civil and military! I didn’t expect that Feng would come to Lin’an and meet such a person as Hsieh Tai-fu. It was really a great honor.

“Let her go.” Jaffe had no intention of talking nonsense with the other side. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to get out of Lin’an alive.”

“If I let him go now, then I really won’t be able to get out of Lin’an alive, will I?” The wind has no trace of the lips, and the evil in the expression is heavier. He drew a dagger from his sleeve and held it against Sheng Yunlin’s neck.

“Hiss!” Sheng Yun-lin could not resist making a sound. “This thing is really cold.”

Jaffe’s eyes were as cold as ice, but he no longer acted rashly.

“Miss Sheng, are you really not afraid at all?”

It’s all right. I am a man who has died once, and I don’t care about that.

“You are a strange man.”

“You said today you wanted to marry me, a’strange man. ‘” Sheng Yunlin glanced at him. Feng Wuheng laughed

again. “Would you like to?”? Then there’s no need to wait. You can come with me tonight.

“No.” Sheng Yunlin immediately said.

“Don’t say no so quickly. I really want to marry you.” Feng Wuheng looked up at Xie Fei. “I’m also very curious. What kind of person is the woman that Xie Taifu cares about so much?”

“Make an offer.” Jaffe said, “You didn’t kidnap my men and bring me here just to say that to me.”

Sheng Yun-lin suddenly heard the three words “my man.” Somehow, some strange emotions rose from his chest. “All right,” said

Feng Wuheng. When Feng first came to the State of Chen, he met Xie Taifu and could only admit his bad luck. Kidnapping your concubine this time is also a helpless move. As long as you can let me leave here safely, this girl will be all right.

“I am not his concubine.” Sheng Yunlin pulled the corners of his mouth. In the previous life, they had a monarch-subject relationship. Sheng Yunlin is the king and Xie Fei is the minister.

“Are you really a servant girl?” The wind has no trace of strange way.

“Let’s make a deal.” Sheng Yunlin said calmly, “You take us to find out the whereabouts of the hundreds of thousands of official silver, and then lock us in the school.”. In this way, before the students read in the morning tomorrow, we can’t chase you no matter how far you run. The rest is up to you. How’s it going

Then why don’t I lock Jaffe alone and run with you? Then he will not pursue me.

Then you are finished. As I said, I’ve been killed once. Believe it or not, I’m not afraid of death. At the worst, I could stab myself with your knife. Sheng Yunlin said, “But if I die, not only will Jaffe not let you go, but he will not let Qi go.”. You’re from the state of Qi, and you’re known for robbing the rich to give to the poor. You can’t bear to see the people of Qi being affected, can you?

For the sake of you, a little girl, Lord Hsieh will do harm to the State of Qi? I don’t believe it. “I will,”

said Jaffe in a cold voice.

The wind has no trace of the tip of the eyebrow.

Perhaps Jaffe’s expression was too dangerous, and Feng Wuheng finally said, “OK, I made a mistake this time.”. It’s a long night, and you won’t find me tomorrow. Holding Sheng Yunlin hostage,

he led the way ahead and asked Jaffe to follow.

It’s the same warehouse during the day.

However, under the warehouse, there is a basement, which is full of official silver. How did the

money get here? Take your time to investigate and think about it. Xie Taifu, you stand far away. Yes, that’s it. Take a few more steps back and stay away from me. It was not

until Jaffe was far enough away that Feng Wuheng was satisfied.

He whispered to Sheng Yunlin, “Miss Sheng, you are very interesting. We will meet again.”

With that, he suddenly pushed Sheng Yunlin forward, and Sheng Yunlin stumbled into Jaffe’s arms because of the weakness of his limbs due to the effect of the ecstasy. Then he heard a squeak, and the door was closed and locked from the outside. They won’t be able to get out until they’re found in the

morning.

Anyway, he could not get out, and Sheng Yunlin simply began to resume trading.

“No trace of the wind will be hypnotic.” She said quickly, “I guess he first hypnotized the people of Lin’an Academy, disguised himself as a student here, and gained the trust of the mountain chief.”. Later, he was responsible for escorting Linan City’s allocation of funds to the Academy, hypnotized several people present, and directly removed four hundred thousand taels of silver. On the day of the incident, he left another letter to Su Wei, telling the other party that he had stolen four hundred thousand taels of official silver, and Su Wei went to count the warehouse. But in fact, long before that, the silver had arrived at the Lin’an Academy.

“How do you know he can hypnotize?”

“He said it himself in a moment of carelessness.”

“This kind of hypnosis won’t last long. In a few days, we’ll find out when we interrogate all the people who handle the money from Lin An College.” Jaffe said.

“That’s right.” Sheng Yunlin nodded. At the end of the

analysis, she was still a little happy. She couldn’t help teasing, “Ah, Lord Xie, you cooperated with me very well today. I saw your expression. It really looked like you were going to kill Qi.”. I still have the potential to be a trouble–you see, even Feng Wuheng is weak in the end.

Jaffe gave her a deep look.

“I really will.” He said word by word.

Sheng Yunlin is confused.
