The Han family's family banquet lasted until the early hours of the night.

The three rough old men were very drunk. One is happy, the other is that no one is convinced, and in the end they all fall under the table.

Fortunately, Han Yunxing stayed awake, and afterwards summoned two domestic servants, and after tossing, he settled the three drunks separately.

Shen Lian fell asleep, completely unaware of where he was.

Until he felt some itching on his face in a trance, he raised his hand and touched it.

The back of a hand as soft as warm jade was grasped in Shen Lian's palm.

He woke up and opened his eyes.

Han Yunxing was holding a towel, wiping the stains on his face.

The sunlight outside the window poured in, reflecting on Han Yunxing's body, as if every strand of hair was shining. Even the fluff on her beautiful cheeks and ears was clearly visible.

Han Yunxing's slender hand was caught, but a trace of unexpected panic flashed in his eyes, and then he calmed down and gently pulled out the back of his hand from Shen Lian's claws.

"Brother Lian'er has woken up, your family's Fubo has already come. I saw you sleeping, so I didn't wake you up. The Criminal Division is busy with official business, and it is good to be able to have a moment of rest. ”

As she spoke, she wrung out the towel in her hand in the wooden bucket next to her and stuffed it into Shen Lian's big hand.

"There is also decanting soup on the table, drink it before leaving. Don't be greedy in the future, you and Erlang are the pillars of the family, pay attention to your body. ”

With that, she smiled lightly and left with the barrel.

Shen Lian smelled the faint fragrance of the woman's body in his nose, stared at the bed and lay on the bed for a long time, and then reluctantly got up.

"What do you think......

Shen Lian quickly wiped his face and took a deep breath. After drinking the sweet soup on the table again, he felt a warm piece in his belly, and walked out of the door.

The morning sun is rising, it is almost autumn, and the sun is mild and bright.

"Young Master!"

Shen Lufu stood outside the far gate and looked over.

"Did the soldiers escort the prisoners last night?"

Shen Lian trotted over and took the reins of the horse handed by Shen Lufu.

"Yes, Brother Fei stayed in prison and guarded. The old servant was not at ease, so he came to ask the young master to return home. ”

"Well, let's go. ”

Shen Lian turned over and got on the horse, and Shen Lufu followed behind.

Returning to the Shen Mansion, Shen Lian threw the reins to Fu Bo and hurried to the firewood room.

Going down the tunnel, the private cell was brightly lit.

Fei Yuqing sat at the interrogation table in a brand-new criminal uniform. With one hand on his forehead, he sat a little bored in the guard cell.

"Eun Gong!"

Seeing Shen Lian coming in, Fei Yuqing hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Now that I am the criminal division officer, you will call me Lord in the future, and Engong will not need to. Shen Lian said indifferently.

"Yes, my lord! Fei Yuqing replied respectfully.

Shen Lian glanced around the three cells.

All three prisoners sat in silence on straw mats.

"My lord, these are the case files that the military secretary escorted together. ”

Fei Yuqing was about to get it, but Shen Lian waved his hand:

"Don't worry, I have something to ask you, come with me. ”

Fei Yuqing was a little puzzled, but still followed respectfully. Go up the stairs and go back to the firewood room.

Shen Lian sat down on a wooden bench and stared at Fei Yuqing.

Fei Yuqing was furious, and after a while, she snorted:

"My lord, is there something wrong with your humble position?"

Shen Lian couldn't see joy or anger on his face, and asked lightly:

"Think about it, has there been something that has deceived me. ”

Fei Yuqing's expression froze, and then she bowed her head in embarrassment:

"The life of the lowly is to be saved by adults, how dare you deliberately deceive ......"

"Then you can tell me what kind of work you did and what you did in the Hunan Ayaji Weaving Workshop. Shen Lian still looked calm.

Fei Yuqing's face turned red and white, and she immediately knelt down and said dejectedly:

"It's not that the villain is deceiving, but the villain really doesn't have bad intentions. Although the villain is not really a weaver worker, he has never had a bad idea......"

Shen Lian was silent and stared at him for a long time.

I didn't feel any fluctuations in loyalty.

This shows that Fei Yuqing said that he did not have the intention to lie.

"Why do you want to pretend to be a worker and peep at every turn?" asked Shen Lian.

It turned out that at the Han family's wine banquet last night, through a few words of inquiry, Shen Lian knew again that Fei Yuqing was not a real weaving workshop worker.

Although he was indeed rescued by a few girls in the weaving workshop, he left in a hurry at that time, and did not leave anything to work in return.

After that, Fei Yuqing suddenly appeared and expelled the thief. He also had a good heart, snatched the tribute and buried it, and was imprisoned for his crimes. These are facts, but the girls don't know about them.

"The villain likes to fiddle with Karakuri tools since he was a child, and since he ate the 'Demon Blood Secret Fruit', he has been even more interested in mechanical equipment. ”

Fei Yuqing explained again and again, "I really want to stay in the weaving workshop to work, but I have a poisonous injury, I am afraid that it will scare others." What's more, I don't come from a good background, and the owner of the weaving workshop may not be willing to hire me......"

So I often climbed the wall to peek at the weaving workshop, and every time I looked at the tools, I felt refreshed, and the poison was not strong......

Later, I met those thieves who wanted to steal tribute. I was indignant and went to expel me. There was a commotion, which frightened the working girl and damaged the tribute......"

Shen Lian didn't expect this Fei Yuqing to be a technical nerd, so he couldn't help asking:

"If you were given some mechanical equipment to operate, what level would you be able to do?"

As soon as she heard this, Fei Yuqing suddenly came to her senses, raised her head and said:

"The villain's eyes, hands, feet, and brain are all sensitive and abnormal. If you have a lot of equipment to control, you can get familiar with it in a few moments!"

"Even the tools of the weaving workshop are nothing to me. The villain even has whimsical ideas from time to time to improve those tools, but there is nowhere to play them. ”

Shen Lian looked at him, frowned, and said:

"Are these changes of yours related to the 'Demon Blood Secret Fruit'?"

"It should be related. Fei Yuqing nodded, "In the past, I was just a hobby, but since I ate the fruit, I feel that I can be proficient without any difficulty." ”

In Shen Lian's mind, a cultivation system suddenly popped up:

The ancient saint 'Suizu', the way of inheritance of different arts.

Thousands of years ago, it was called 'Strange Craftsman', but later the genre changed, and now it is called 'Thief'.

"Could it be that the cultivation bloodline inspired by Fei Yuqing is related to the 'thief'?"

However, now Shen Lian can't verify it.

Unless there is a 'thief' inheritance method, let Fei Yuqing know it as soon as he tries it.

Shen Lian wanted to discuss a few more words with Fei Yuqing.

Suddenly, the door of the firewood room opened, and Shen Lufu came in to report:

"Young master, there is a person surnamed Bao who has come to ask to see you!"

"Surname Bao?"

Shen Lian didn't have a colleague with this surname, so he got up and went out with Fu Bo.

In the courtyard of the house, there stood a burly thirty-year-old man.

This person has an ordinary appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance looks very heroic.

"Villain Bao Shihu, thank Lord Shen for saving your life!"

As soon as the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes saw Shen Lian, he immediately knelt down and gave a solemn salute.

"It's you, please get up. ”

Shen Lian smiled and stepped forward to help Bao Shihu.

Bao Shihu was previously imprisoned in a private cell, and committed a case similar to 'Lu Ti Zhi angrily attacked the town of Guanxi', and assassinated a bully and was arrested and imprisoned.

Shen Lian pleaded for this Bao Shihu on the closing document submitted.

At that time, I didn't think much about it, but out of righteousness, I felt that this person was not guilty of death.

"The prefect sentenced the villain to be guilty of meritorious service, this is the prefect's official letter, Lord Shen, please take a look!"

Bao Shihu took out a document and handed it to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian opened it and took a look.

It turned out that the prefect of Ji also sentenced Bao Shihu to exile, but he could make meritorious service for the crime and transfer it to Shen Lian's private prison for use.

Huh, Lord Prefect, is this encouraging me to train my subordinates?

Shen Lian pondered for a while, but he couldn't figure out why Ji Zhinan arranged it like this.

Bao Shihu hugged his fists:

"The villain has no other skills, but he knows how to stir-fry and cook, and he has a slight reputation. If Lord Shen doesn't dislike it, he is willing to stay in Lord Shen's house and be a cook. As long as you don't drive the villain away, the villain will repay him for life!"

Shen Lufu smiled when he heard it beside him, and hurriedly said:

"Young Master, prisoners in private prisons also need daily food. The old servant is not quick with his hands and feet, and with the help of Master Bao, it is really good!"

Shen Lian thought about it, and in the future, the private prison will be expanded, and the cook will also be indispensable.

"Okay, then you can rest assured that you will be used in my private prison, and I will not treat you badly. Shen Lian smiled.

Bao Shihu's generous appearance showed joy again, and he hugged his fists and said:

"Adults rest assured, the craftsmanship of the villains ......"

The voice did not fall.

Bao Shihu's face changed, and his right hand, which had been clenched into his fist, was as fast as lightning and reached behind his waist.

Qiang –

A pitch-black dart arrow came and was split in half by the kitchen knife in Bao Shihu's hand.

There was a clang, and he fell to the ground.
