    After drinking a cup of tea, Ye Yian continued to read. He read very slowly. After reading the entire information, he discovered two strange things.  According to the records in this document, in the more than two years since Yan Ruyi settled in Xiangzhou, the most visited places were actually two unexpected places.  The first is the various bookstores in the city. This is nothing. What is strange is that 90% of the books she buys are Taoist classics. To put it bluntly, she almost buys almost all books related to Taoism.  No one will be turned away.  Even if you have a grudge against the Taoist sect and want to take revenge, it won¡¯t be like this, right?  What does Yan Ruyi want to do with this move?  Another place outside the bookstore is Lumen Mountain, but Yan Ruyi¡¯s destination is not Guangyuan Shangguan in the mountain, but Meng Haoran¡¯s thatched cottage in two directions.  I go there so frequently that I have to go there almost once every ten days.  "Meng Haoran" When he saw this name, Ye Yi'an was slightly lost in thought, and then he let out a breath full of regret.  "I love Master Meng, and he is known all over the world.  The beauty abandons her crown, and her white head lies in the pine clouds.  This is the masterpiece of Li Taibai, whose reputation as a Poet Immortal spread throughout the world during the past seventeen years, and who was just ordered to Beijing by the Emperor.  The Master Meng mentioned in the first sentence of the poem refers to Meng Haoran.  Meng Haoran is an elf transformed from the mountains and rivers of Xiangzhou. He is the myth of this city and this land. He is also a topic that people here never tire of. He has long been transformed into the spiritual symbol of Xiangzhou.  Ye Yi'an has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was taken in by his master. It has been immersed in it for many years. Even though his character has been tempered by hardships and hardships, the literati feelings that seem to be hidden deep in his bones and blood have never been truly eliminated.  On the contrary, whenever the situation becomes more difficult, this feeling becomes more and more profound. The fact that he did not forget to recite poems every day for more than a thousand days and nights in the black prison is a testament to this feeling.  Perhaps it was because, deep down in his heart, he had longed to be a pure scholar and live a lonely, simple but peaceful life in Yangtze, with a book in bed every year.  Because of this deep-seated feeling that never goes away, Ye Yi'an once longed to meet this great poet who was famous all over the world for his natural charm.  Unfortunately, when he finally escaped from the black prison and had such free time, he was shocked to learn that Meng Haoran had indulged in feasting due to the visit of the poet and emperor Wang Changling.  A generation of poetry masters passed away suddenly!  Therefore, being in Xiangzhou but not being able to meet Meng Haoran became a regret that was not big or small in Ye Yi'an's heart and he would never talk to anyone.  But he didn't expect that Yan Ruyi would be related to this again.  Meng Haoran passed away the year before last, and his famous Meng Haoran thatched cottage in Xiangzhou has also been deserted. Why does Yan Ruyi still go there so often?  Is there anyone or something there that deeply attracts her?  When he looked up, it was still early and Ye Yi'an, who had nothing to do, planned to visit Meng Haoran's thatched cottage in Lumen Mountain.  After leaving the tea shop, before he reached the city gate, he saw Xue Wu chasing him from behind. He said that Mr. Fang had ordered someone to find him, and when he found him, he asked him to go to the state government office to meet him.  What¡¯s the matter with this little fat guy?  In the state government office, the little fat man actually occupied an official room to himself. Sitting there, he looked at the official documents in a decent manner, but when he saw Ye Yian coming in, he suddenly lost his formality.  "Why can't we go back and talk about it in such a hurry?" The little fat man sat down with Ye Yian and offered a cup of tea with his own hands with a smile, "Good thing. Someone just came to report that Guangyuan Temple hired more than ten grave carvers."  Hearing this, Ye Yi'an's spirit suddenly lifted up. It was indeed good news!  Gravediggers are one of the hundreds of craftsmen. As the name suggests, they specialize in digging graves for people. The most important thing in life is life and death. Living in a house and dying in a grave. From the location of the grave to the excavation and then to the completion of the grave, there are strict taboos.  and rules.  Complying with these rules is an indispensable custom to respect the deceased. Even practitioners will not take the initiative to break such customs and rules unless they are forced to do so.  Because of these taboos and rules, it is not possible for just anyone to dig and work as a gravedigger.  And because matters involving the dead are extremely sensitive, according to the regulations at this time, all registered gravemakers must report to the government office after receiving employment. This was originally one of the many methods used by the state government to monitor local criminal cases.  Generally speaking, as long as you have enough time, one gravedigger is enough for one grave, or at most two people.  No matter how many tombmakers there are, they won't do it themselves. The wages paid are too low and uneconomical.  Since Guangyuan Temple needs to hire a grave carver, it is naturally because someone died in the temple.  If more than a dozen gravediggers are hired at a time, even if two gravediggers dig one grave together, more than seven or eight people will die in Guangyuan Temple.  Did Han Jizong¡¯s poison work?  As soon as he thought about this, Ye Yian asked the little fat man to find someone to check the sales of large water tanks in the city. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Although he didn't understand what he meant, he still followed Ye Yian's instructions and went out to ask the servants.  It didn¡¯t take long for the news to come back, and around the same time that the tombmaker came to report, a Taoist priest from Guangyuan purchased six of the largest round jars in the market.  The death of a Taoist is not called death, but is also called emergence.  The burial after emergence is not done in a coffin, but in a vat.  That is to say, the dead Taoist is placed in the vat in a sitting position, and then the mouth of the vat is closed. This is the so-called "sitting on the vat", which is a unique ritual within Taoism.  However, this kind of ritual is not something that any Taoist can enjoy. Only a Taoist person can be placed in this way after his death.  The standard of high Taoism is actually a bit vague. According to the current standard of Taoism, that is, only Taoists who have received ordination and formally obtained Taoism can enjoy such treatment. It seems that those small Taoist boys will never succeed.  There is no news of Taoist becoming immortal in Guangyuan Temple within the city, so these tombmakers must have prepared for Guangyuan Shangguan. Combined with the six large vats, Ye Yi'an can conclude that yesterday he took the risk to sneak into the Guangyuan Shangguan dining hall.  The poisoning has come to fruition, and at least six Shinto priests have fallen to Han Jizong's poison.  Ye Yi'an got up and walked around the little fat man's office for a few times, with complicated thoughts.  What a pity, these six people are all dead, how come Qingyun, who deserves to be poisoned the most, is safe and sound.  At this time, the little fat man already understood the whole story. When he was excited, he saw Ye Yi'an looking a little depressed. He came up and asked: "Master, you are too unkind. Why, six dead are not enough. You can't count on them.  One death, right?" Hearing this, Ye Yi'an's brows jumped and he didn't say anything.  At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Dutou Leiyun walked in from outside.  Seeing that Ye Yi'an was there, Lei Yun was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to greet him affectionately.  After the three of them chatted for a while, Lei Yun made it clear what his purpose was.  After the little fat man greeted him in the morning, he sent people to seal off the properties of Hongfeng Xiaozhu and Lanshan Jingshe in the city without hesitation. Unexpectedly, these two families responded very quickly. They sent people before the day was over.  He came to the door with a handwritten letter from Guangyuan Temple's new supervisor, Xu Shengguan.  Although Xu Sheng is a Taoist official who cannot control the state government, he is of the fifth rank after all and has great influence in the local area.  Even though Lei Yun was also fed up with the Taoist priests at Guangyuan Temple, he still couldn't help but feel excited after receiving Xu Sheng's letter, so he came to make up his mind to the fat man who was the instigator.  "After all, he is a genuine fifth-grade man. Why did he intercede for two merchants and even used his own handwritten letter? His face is so worthless." After scolding the little fat man, he said directly to Lei Yun: "Ignore it.  This shameless old guy, it¡¯s not his turn to interfere in the affairs of the state government. As long as you, Lei Dutou, can act according to the "Datang Law", you will continue to seal them when they are due, and seal them, a group of blind birds." "Our state  Naturally, the Yamen must abide by the Laws of the Tang Dynasty when doing things" Before Lei Yun, who had a bitter look on his face, continued to speak, Ye Yian stopped him and said, "Well, Mr. Fang, don't embarrass Lei Dutou, since  The autographed letter from Xusheng Supervisor has arrived. I have to sell this face. The seal has been lifted." Lei Yun was happy, but the little fat man was shocked, but he heard Ye Yian continue to say: "After the seal is lifted, Lei Du will ask the shopkeepers of the two families to pass it on.  In short, since merchants are going to trade on the land of Xiangzhou, there is no reason to ignore the local Jing'an issue. It is not difficult for each family of Hongfeng Xiaozhu and Lanshan Jingshe to send thirty disciples to the city of Xiangzhou to help Jing'an.  They." Hearing this, Lei Yun was puzzled, "Hongfeng Xiaozhu and Lanshan Jingshe are" After Ye Yi'an explained it, Lei Yun chuckled, "I was worried that it would be difficult to deal with the evil magicians who caused trouble again.  , Someone is coming to your door. Brother Ye, don¡¯t worry. Unless they don¡¯t make money from this three-acre land in Xiangzhou, I have plenty of ways to rub them. This is something I¡¯m good at!¡± Looking at each other, the three of them all looked at each other!  All smiled.
